The Monkey King

Chapter 699: a door apart

In the   Mira Palace, the hand of the Tongtian Sect Master holding the chess piece froze in the air.

   Yuanshi Tianzun frowned as he watched the Taoist disciple kneeling in front of him.

  …

  In the three-star cave of the oblique moon, Subhuti half-squinted his eyes, looking at the sunset on the horizon, and fell into a trance.

  …

   In Daleiyin Temple, all the Arhats and Buddhas were silent.

   On the lotus pedestal, the Tathagata closed his eyes and sat motionless.

   "I didn't expect that these three virgins, Yang Chan, actually made this move."

   "Yang Chan took control of the six-eared macaque... Now, where will the situation go?"

   "These three virgins, Yang Chan, obviously prefer the Sun Wukong, helping the six-eared macaque, but it's just a cover. Only the six-eared macaque can't see clearly."

   "This should be regarded as stealing chickens without losing rice? In this case, will the six-eared macaque continue to fight against the grand monkey?"

   "You will definitely fight against each other. Two can only survive one. However, I'm afraid that it will not be as unscrupulous as before, and it will even become a vague help for the grand monkey."

   Everyone's attention was focused on King Jizo.

   At this moment, even Ksitigarbha King was a little unsure, and just stood silently with frowning.

  …

  The last clouds in the sky are gone.

   Several geese fluttered lazily by flapping their wings. Against the sunset, there is an indescribable loneliness.

   In the sky, the monkey flew slowly, towards the direction of Xieyue Sanxingdong.

   Along the way, his thoughts were like a mess.

   He hesitated whether to go to the lion and camel country again and forcibly rob people.

   Yang Chan is unwilling, is it really possible for him to force her away?

  The answer is, it is possible. But this possibility is extremely low. It is more likely that Yang Chan was accidentally injured in the process of competition.

   This is a consequence he cannot bear.

   But, if he can't get it back, does he just go back like this?

   This point, even the monkey himself can't tell.

   He was in a trance, in a trance. All the way from the lion camel country to the Xieyue Sanxingdong. This journey is as long as a lifetime.

   When he slowly landed in front of the gate of Xieyue Sanxingdong, it was already starry night.

   In a trance, the red door in front of him was very similar to the one he knelt down for a whole spring and autumn.

   The back of the door. Qing Xin led Xuan Zang to stand quietly.

   Almost at the same time, both sides stopped all movements and looked at each other through the closed red door.

Xuanzang on the side of    couldn't hold back a little. He craned his neck and looked around, unable to figure out why he had settled down. Pulled him here in the middle of the night. However, looking at Qing Xin's expression, he couldn't ask questions, so he could only stand quietly with her.

   After a long time, Qingxin lowered his head slightly, swallowed dryly and said, "Open the door."

   The two Taoists who were guarding the door nodded silently, stretched out their hands and pulled the latch.

  The door slammed open, and the lantern hanging on the threshold, the light came in little by little along the crack of the door, and swayed on Qing Xin.

   Outside that door. The monkey couldn't help but froze for a moment.

   took a deep breath, put up a smiling face, raised his legs and stepped over the threshold.

   Seeing this, Xuanzang had to quickly follow him out.

   "Wait here, I... want to talk to him alone."

   Hearing this, Xuanzang nodded and stopped in place.

  The night wind was blowing gently, and the shadows of the trees swayed around.

  Under the dazed gaze of the monkey, Qing Xin walked down the long stone steps step by step. up to him.

   "I...I'll pick him up."

   "I know." Looking at the monkey, he lowered his eyes and said softly, "I have already thought about what happened last time."

   "What happened last time?"

   "Yes." Qing Xin pursed her lips and said, "That's what you... told me before. I've already thought about it clearly."

  Monkey looked at Qing Xin with some surprise.

   At this moment, Qing Xin's expression was extraordinarily calm. Unlike any previous meeting.

   paused slightly, and then said with a clear heart: "I'm not a bird, nor a wind chime. I have their memories, and I am their reincarnation, but I am not them after all. This. I hope you can understand."

  Monkey stared at Qing Xin blankly.

"So, I'm not a substitute for any of them, and I don't want to be a substitute for any of them." He lowered his head slightly and said calmly: "The relationship between you and them has already ended in the previous life. In this life and this life, I just want to be a cultivator, and I don’t want to get involved in any disputes. A cultivator should be pure-hearted and have few desires. I hope you can understand, and I hope you… don’t bother me anymore.”

   Having said this, Qing Xin paused.

  Monkey stared at her blankly with a look of astonishment.

"why…"

"No reason, it's my own decision." Qing Xin closed her eyes tightly and said softly: "Actually, there are some things, you know, I know, you don't need to deceive yourself. The things in the past have passed, and there is no point in this life. add to each other's troubles."

"But…"

   "There is no but." He raised his head and stared blankly at the monkey, as if he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

   Gradually, there was a little more sparkle in the eye socket.

  The monkey is completely panicked, but at this moment, what can he say?

   He has just been to the Lion and Camel Country, what can he say... His emotionally indecisive character has completely put him in a dead end.

   The two of them just stood there blankly, looking at each other.

   After a long time, Qing Xin turned around and walked up step by step along the long stone steps.

   Behind that, the monkey still stared at her blankly.

   This journey is too long. After 800 years, after three generations, she is already tired. Let it all end here. To each other...all have a good result.

   She wanted to say goodbye to the monkey at last, say "goodbye", or something. However, until now, the memories of the previous two lives still haunt her. So much so that she couldn't say anything.

   It was a feeling of collapse, every step I took, as if I would step on the air at any time.

   She endured it, not wanting to show any strangeness at this last moment. She is afraid, afraid that if she goes on, she will be like before, unable to help but want to hold something she shouldn't have.

   Giving up is the best choice. Isn't this something she decided from the beginning?

  Only by giving up, can the already **** wounds no longer be sprinkled with salt.

   Finally, she finally walked in front of Xuanzang.

   When he saw those teary eyes that were slightly shimmering in the moonlight, Xuanzang was completely stunned.

   opened his eyes slightly and looked at Qingxin, not knowing what to say for a while.

   "Go... go. If you encounter any danger in the future, you can..." Suddenly, Qing Xin stopped.

   She opened her mouth slightly, but couldn't make a sound. The tears fell down his cheeks, drop by drop.

   After a while, she lowered her head, passed Xuanzang, and walked across the high red door.

  The door slammed shut, locking Monkey and Xuanzang out.

  The roar of the door came, and until this moment, the monkey seemed to wake up from his sleep, but he just blinked his eyes blankly, at a loss.

  The night was so quiet that there was not a trace of sound.

In front of the door, the monkey was still standing blankly, and Xuanzang looked around.

  Behind the door, Qingxin leaned tightly against the door, covering his face with his hands, as if he had collapsed, and stood motionless. With that look, the two Taoist disciples on the side looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

  …

"Eight hundred years." On the terrace, Lao Jun looked down slightly and sighed, "It's been eight hundred years. Eight hundred years ago, this monkey knelt in front of your door and didn't leave, just to be inside the door. Her. A door apart... Today is like this again, but the nature has completely changed."

   Behind him, Subhuti stretched out his hand and played with tea, and remained silent.

   Turning his gaze towards Subhuti, the old gentleman sighed softly, "You are a master with a heart of stone. Until today, have you never regretted it?"

   raised his head slightly, Subhuti glanced at Laojun lightly, and sighed softly, "I regret it."

   "Do you regret it?"

"It's just..." Subhuti still brewed tea expressionlessly, and said with a low face: "It's just that the price to pay is too great. It is bigger than I thought at the beginning. Therefore, this journey has to go even more. Go forward. Because... once you stop, all the sacrifices you made before will be in vain."

   Hearing the words, Lao Jun frowned, looked at the full moon above his head and said with a smile: "If this is the case, then you will regret it later."

  …

   Outside that door, the monkey finally left with Xuanzang.

   Overnight, everything seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes to the monkey, and even to the Three Realms.

  For Buddhism, because of Yang Chan's intervention, the line of six-eared macaques is full of uncertainty. Although it is impossible to completely fall to the monkeys, at least, it is impossible to do as they thought before.

   For Heavenly Court and Kunlun Mountains, Yang Chan's intervention meant that the two tigers' battle strategy basically failed. Now, not only are they unable to suppress the monkeys as expected at the beginning, but they must face two identical beings at the same time.

   For Xuanzang, after a turmoil, everything seems to have returned to orthodoxy. There is still a long road of 108,000 miles at the foot, and Lingshan is still in front.

   However, the monkey was never happy.

  When he took Xuanzang back to the small river where he had set out, his dazed expression was as if he couldn't smile no matter what he saw. Originally, Lu Liuguai and the others were all there waiting for the monkey's return, ready to assemble his subordinates to fight the Lion and Camel Kingdom to the death. Seeing the monkey's appearance, no one dared to ask.

   Not only did he dare not ask him if he wanted to assemble a large army, he even dared not ask whether he should withdraw.

   All of a sudden, the westbound team of only six people swelled rapidly and became hundreds of people. Among them, in addition to the Bull Demon King, the Red Boy, Lu Liuguai, and the Macaque Monkey King, there were also hundreds of demon generals from their respective subordinates.

   Just such a mighty group, guarding Xuanzang who still insisted on heading west, they set off...(~^~)
