In the barren forest, the monkey walked slowly and alone.

   The night wind that was blowing slowly lowered the wormwood, rolled up the fallen leaves, and had a hint of coolness. Traveling through the forest, there was a sound like a howl of an evil spirit.

  The monkey just walked aimlessly and kept walking.

   I don't know how, the more we go, the darker the sky, the stars in the sky and the crescent moon among the clouds are missing. There seems to be no ray of light between heaven and earth.

   In the end, even the monkey's eyes could no longer see the surrounding scenery.

   "What's the matter?" He rubbed his eyes blankly, but he didn't seem to feel that something was wrong.

   To be more precise, his brain had already been emptied, so that all kinds of anomalies failed to arouse his alertness.

   Gradually, he felt a little groggy and had to stop and rest on the golden cudgel.

  Suddenly, a dark shadow passed in front of his eyes.

   "Who!" The monkey was startled and instinctively played the golden hoop.

   However, in front of him, there were only a few branches trembling slightly in the darkness, but there was nothing else.

   just stared at that position for a long time before the monkey slowly let out a sigh of relief and put down the golden hoop.

   "What's the matter with me? I… where am I?"

   Until this time, he seemed to realize that all his external perceptions seemed to be invalid.

   I can't feel the fluctuations of spiritual power and spiritual energy. Without night vision, even hearing seems to have only a small range of the surrounding area.

   Just when he was at a loss. A voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"it's me."

"Who are you?"

"I am you."

   "You are me, so who am I?"

   "You...you're nothing."

   "Hehehehe, I am nothing? In the Three Realms, there are not many people who dare to say that about me."

  The clouds in the sky slowly cleared away, and the moonlight once again illuminated the earth.

   is about ten feet ahead. A dark figure stood silently, with its back to him.

   In an instant, the powerlessness of the monkey disappeared, and the perception of the outside world seemed to recover a little. But the perception of the person in front of him is still hazy.

   That kind of feeling is just like when I first realized the spiritual energy and spiritual power in Xieyue Sanxingdong. Although I knew that the other party was there, I couldn't directly know the reality of the other party's spiritual power intensity through perception.

   secretly clenched the golden hoop in his hand. The monkey whispered, "Who the **** are you?"

   "Do you really want to know?"

   This time the sound didn't sound directly in the monkey's mind. It was a real voice, but it was extremely hoarse and unpleasant to the point of giving people goosebumps.

   As if the man hadn't spoken for many years.

   "People from Buddhism, people from heaven, monsters, or people from Kunlun Mountains?"

"you guess."

   "I don't like guessing. What I hate the most is playing quizzes."

   heard the words. The man giggled, out of breath.

"do we know each other?"

"know."

   "Is it cooked?"

   "Very familiar."

   "Is there a festival?"

   The other party hesitated and sighed softly: "It's...well."

   "There is a festival, so I should say it earlier. This way, so much nonsense can be saved." The monkey has secretly used his spiritual power and is ready to do it.

   At this moment, the dark clouds above his head slowly covered the crescent moon, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.

  Monkey's eyes can no longer see the figure in front of him, but he can still lock the opponent's specific location by feeling.

   "There is a festival, so you are going to kill me?"

   "Isn't this reason enough? Since there are already festivals. If I don't kill you, do I keep you to block me?"

   "Yeah...you're right. If you want me, I'll do the same. But, are you sure you can beat me?"

   Hearing this, the monkey burst out laughing.

   There is only one Tathagata left in this world who can say that to a monkey. pity. This person has obvious spiritual power fluctuations, and it can almost be concluded that he is from a Taoist sect, and that he must cultivate the Tao of the Walker.

   After a short silence, the other party made a bang and flew towards the front at a very fast speed.

   Almost at the same time, the monkey chased after him without hesitation, and smashed the golden hoop.

   However, this heavy blow failed.

   The tumbling stone chips rushed towards the face, and for a while, the monkeys were a little stunned.

   The opponent didn't dodge the blow. To be precise, the opponent used the purest speed to instantly open the distance between him and the monkey, so that the monkey lost with a single stick.

   For the most fearsome warriors on the battlefield, they often have one thing in common, that is, the hand is faster than the brain. More often, they fight with intuition and instinct.

   Without the slightest hesitation, the monkey quickly accelerated his speed. However, the opponent's speed is also increasing.

In the dark, the two of them sprinted like you chased me. I don't know how many rocks the monkeys smashed, how many giant trees they smashed, and how many forests they overturned... But no matter what, the monkeys just couldn't catch up with each other. , let alone touch the opponent's hair... because the opponent's speed is as fast as his!

   This made the monkey feel very unhappy.

   For so many years, no one has been able to compare the speed with him except the Tathagata who has no roots and no basis.

  In desperation, the monkey shouted: "Long-!"

  The golden hoop suddenly stretched and roared towards the opponent.

"when!"

   With a harsh sound, the monkey could clearly feel his golden hoop hitting something hard.

   Immediately afterwards, the opponent counterattacked.

   Relying on the perception of spiritual power fluctuations, although the monkey can't see it, it can clearly reach the position of the opponent's shot.

   The golden hoop in his hand quickly returned to the defense and steadily received the opponent's blow. Under this blow, the monkey's hand trembled.

   Who is this?

   Is there such a powerful way of walking between heaven and earth?

   The ever-changing battle situation can no longer allow monkeys to think about it. He rolled and hit the opponent with three sticks, all of which were caught firmly. Immediately afterwards, the opponent counterattacked again with three moves, and was also taken over by the monkey.

  The two sides fought fiercely. stuck in a stalemate.

   Gradually, the monkey's perception ability became clearer. But as his perception ability recovered bit by bit, he became more and more frightened.

He can clearly feel that the other party's cultivation is actually the same peak of Da Luo Hunyuan Daxian as himself, and he is also using a stick, a stick that can be stretched and retracted like the golden hoop stick in his hand... The same walker said. . the same. There is only the dead door, the stick technique without the trap door.

   That feeling, as if you were fighting against yourself... What's going on?

   Under the heavy impact, the two sides bounced off, facing each other in the air, and no one took the lead.

  The clouds in the sky slowly moved away again, and the moonlight swayed down.

   A furry face slowly appeared in front of the monkey...

  …

   his eyes widened suddenly. The monkey jumped up.

  The soft moonlight, the twinkling stars, the wind blowing slowly from the side, and the woods rustling.

   The canopy by the campfire looked at him suspiciously.

   Looking around, the monkey found that the rest of the people were lying not far away.

   The little white dragon in his sleep stretched out his hand and scratched his face, and the purr of the black bear spirit was like thunder...

   "Is... a dream?"

With a    thump, the monkey slumped down as if it had been pulled from all strength, staring blankly at his open hand.

   Until then, he realized that he was sweating profusely.

   "What?" Canopy stirred the bonfire twice with the branches in his hand, and sighed softly, "You also have nightmares?"

  Monkey reached out and rubbed his face. Still sitting paralyzed.

  Nightmare?

   How long has it been since he had a dream?

  Should have never had a dream since coming down from the Five Elements Mountain.

   A person who cultivates immortals, the higher the cultivation level, the less sleep time they need. When the cultivation base has reached the level of a monkey, let alone dreaming, he basically no longer needs to sleep.

  When he was at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, he wanted to sleep by himself, in order to pass the time. After all defenses are lifted, it is possible to dream. Coming from the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, he was extremely vigilant on this journey westward. Not to mention dreaming, it is impossible to even sleep. But for the past month, because of Yang Chan's affairs, he has been restless every day, and his mental state has been getting worse day by day, so he will lie down tonight and prepare to take a nap. Unexpectedly, this squinting, actually fell asleep, and had a nightmare.

  What's going on here?

   He stood up slowly with his knees on his back, and walked towards Xuanzang who was sleeping step by step.

   "What's the matter?" Canopy asked.

  Monkey did not answer.

   He lightly held Xuanzang's pulse gate, injected a trace of spiritual power into his body, and took back the spiritual power after making sure he was safe and sound.

"What happened?"

  Monkey shook his head, turned around, walked to the canopy and sat down step by step, saying, "I actually fell asleep...I thought I was in for some trick."

"Isn't it good to fall asleep? It's rare to sleep for a while." Tianpeng glanced back at everyone and said, "Every time we watch the night, we take turns, but you do it every day. Hey, it's time for you to sleep. already."

  Monkey looked down at the bonfire and became fascinated.

   A monkey that looks exactly like himself... a six-eared macaque?

   Seeing that the monkey's face was a little ugly, Tianpeng asked softly, "Dream... about Yang Chan?"

"no."

   "Did you dream of Buddha Tathagata?"

  Monkey shook his head.

   "Then what else can scare you like this?"

"In short, it's just some bad things." The monkey glanced at the west and said, "Tomorrow, I should be able to arrive at Chechi Country. I will send you there and I will go to the underworld. I have a hunch over there that there may be some trouble, but you should be able to solve it."

   "Don't worry, we can do it ourselves." After speaking, Tianpeng took out a jade slip from his waist, and rubbed it in his hand: "It's really bad, I will call you for help."

  Monkey turned his face and glanced at the canopy, and said softly: "Remember, if you feel a little bit wrong, notify me immediately, and don't hesitate."

   "Don't worry." (To be continued~^~)
