The Monkey King

Chapter 710: Xuanzang's answer

   "Because of the sky..."

   Hearing this sentence, Xuanzang's eyes dimmed a lot unconsciously.

   This is what the old county king had already told him, but now it's just confirmed again from Lu Liuguai's mouth.

   Even so, Xuanzang couldn't hide the helplessness on his face.

  Sometimes, mortal beings are so small, a word from a fairy, no matter what the reason, can cause thousands of beings to die, and there is no room for negotiation.

   After a long silence, Xuanzang said softly, "Do you know... why?"

"It's not very clear." Lu Liuguai shook his sleeves, raised his eyebrows and stretched his voice: "The general meaning is that the rain is limited, and the hands and backs of the mortal creatures are full of flesh, there are more here, there are more It can only be less. Nothing can be done.”

   "Limited..." Xuanzang's eyebrows could not help frowning.

"That's what it means." Lu Liuguai was not polite, jumped lightly, sat on the chair beside Xuanzang, and said meaningfully: "In other words, if you solve the drought here, naturally there will be There will be drought elsewhere. No one can solve drought everywhere at once."

   Having said that, Lu Liuguai also deliberately picked up the half of the pancake on the table and gnawed it.

   That was given to Xuanzang by the old county king. After Lu Liuguai ate it, Xuanzang would starve. Although Xuanzang still had a little bit of dry food in his luggage, it was a life-saving thing after all.

   After a long silence, Xuanzang said softly, "Can I let the poor monk think about it for one night?"

   "Okay." Lu Liuguai, who had already devoured the pizza, clapped the scraps on his hands. He jumped off the chair and said, "Then I'll come over and ask again tomorrow."

   After saying that, turn around and leave.

   Behind that, Xuanzang bowed respectfully and thanked him: "The poor monk thanked the benefactor."

   Just a few steps out of the door, Lu Liuguai saw the little white dragon with the cat in the corner.

   "Shh. Come here."

"what?"

"How did he say?"

   "What else can I say, indecisive. Hey, I ate his cake."

"what?"

   raised his head, Lu Liuguai said proudly: "I did it on purpose, who made this monk so indecisive and bad about the Great Sage? He deserves to starve."

   After saying that, Lu Liuguai shook his sleeves. Went away triumphantly.

   The starry night is vast. Xiao Bailong looked up at the sky above his head and sighed helplessly.

  …

   At this moment, in the Lion and Camel Kingdom, there are still many soldiers stationed outside the Notre Dame Palace, both openly and secretly, all of them looking towards Notre Dame Palace intentionally or unintentionally.

  In the palace, the lights are bright.

  The small room was transformed into a cage, and Yang Chan picked up a vase and smashed it on the ground. Just hear a "crash" sound. shattered.

  In the cage, he sat upright, frowning at Yang Chan.

   "Do it for people outside, and soon, they will report the six-eared macaque." Yang Chan glanced at Qing Xin lightly, and said, "In this palace, no one is my own."

   "Then are you still willing to stay here?"

   "What if you don't stay?"

   "You can... go to Huaguoshan, or go back to Huashan? He should pick you up after he has learned the scriptures."

   "Will it really be successful?" Yang Chan asked rhetorically.

   This question, the look in Qing Xin's eyes suddenly dimmed a bit.

"You don't believe it, do you?" With a faint smile, Yang Chan sighed lightly: "Actually. Who does? Maybe he doesn't even believe it himself. There is simply no way to defeat a Tathagata who represents emptiness. , but a choice without a choice.”

   Lifting the teapot outside the prison, Yang Chan silently filled a cup of hot tea, and walked to the railing step by step, reaching out and handing it to Qing Xin.

Qing Xin hurriedly took it with both hands and said, "I've also thought about what you said. In fact... if he is willing to no longer hold grudges about the things that happened more than 600 years ago, it is not impossible to live in peace with the Tathagata. After all, the Tathagata is empty of all four, and only seeks the Buddhadharma. , there is no conflict with him. It is not necessary to fight to the death."

"is that so?"

   "Isn't it?"

   The two looked at each other silently, and after a long while, Yang Chan laughed. It was a somewhat helpless smile. Qing Xin seemed a little dazed.

"Some things are not that simple. If you are not willing to give in, there will be a retreat." Turning around, Yang Chan sat on the chair and said leisurely: "It's like what happened at Huaguo Mountain. Suppose, I assume, we don't To provoke Heaven and not to be enemies with Heaven, do you think the two can coexist peacefully?"

   Qingxin stared at Yang Chan blankly, as if she didn't quite understand what Yang Chan was saying.

   "The answer is, no." Staring at the table, Yang Chan continued: "If you are aggressive, it will cause conflict. If you are weak and deceitful, it will also cause conflict. It's just that the initiative has gone to the opponent."

   "However, if he doesn't break through to the Heavenly Dao cultivation base, I can't think of the Tathagata who would attack him again for any reason."

   "You can't think of it, it doesn't mean you don't." Yang Chan said with a chuckle, "Who would have thought that the Tathagata would attack Laojun and set a trap for Laojun? But in the end, didn't it happen?"

   Qingxin was stunned for a moment.

"The life of a mortal is very short. The life of a cultivator can last for tens of thousands of years, or even forever. Who can guarantee that in such a long time, nothing will go wrong? At that time, If you want to go back and regret again, you will have no way out." Slowly closing his eyes, Yang Chan said softly: "Besides, he has not broken through to the heavens, but still retains the ability to cross the threshold of the heavens, isn't this worse? If you don't learn from the scriptures, I'm afraid that the Tathagata will take action immediately."

"Games only exist in situations where each other can make each other feel 'pain'. If one of the parties is no threat to the other, there is no bargaining chip in the game. Although the monkey is impulsive, it still makes sense. understandable."

   said, Yang Chan gave Qing Xin a meaningful look.

   Seeing this, Qing Xin suddenly felt like a basin of cold water was pouring down on her head.

   She said with dim eyes: "It seems that you all understand it, but I am the only one who can't understand it."

"Because you are not the person in this game." Yang Chan said without hesitation: "Whether in the past or this life, you are not the person in this game, and you don't even have the ability to survive in this situation. Your existence , everything you have today is just because... His concern for you has given you a special identity."

   Having said this, Qing Xin has slowly lowered her head. The hand holding the hot tea was constantly rubbing, and it seemed to be extraordinarily uncomfortable.

   After being silent for a while, Qing Xin whispered: "I thought... you would take this opportunity to deal with me. After all, it is because of me that you..."

"Although the Yang family is nothing in front of these great powers, I am Yaoji's daughter and Erlangshen's younger sister... It's not that bad, then I'm so rude." Yang Chan smiled contemptuously and said, "You can rest assured. Stay here, I won't let him hit you. But, you can't go, unless your two masters are willing to come to the muddy water and pick you up at this time. Otherwise, I will be in danger. "

  …

   The next morning, when Lu Liuguai came to Xuanzang's room again, he found that there was no one in the room. Fortunately, there were demon generals watching around Xuanzang day and night. After a while, he found Xuanzang's figure in the eastern corner of Fengxian County.

   He took the ruler he made last night and used charcoal to mark something on a sheepskin map. Next to him was the old county king.

   "What is he doing? Didn't he promise to answer this morning?"

   "The answer has been given." The canopy on the side shook his head helplessly: "He's looking for a water source."

   "Looking for a water source?" Lu Liuguai was a little stunned.

"Don't talk about it, it is really possible to find it." Tian Peng pursed his lips and smiled helplessly, and said leisurely: "Since there is a well in this county that can still produce water, it means that there is groundwater. Speaking of cultivation techniques, Master Xuanzang can be said to know nothing. But if you want to talk about these tricks, Master Xuanzang is very familiar with it. You can see that he is no worse than those serious doctors in terms of healing and saving people with herbs."

  …

  When Tianpeng returned to the station, the Bull Demon King who went to Heaven to ask for explanations has also returned. However, the news brought back is not very different from yesterday's statement.

"The water here is indeed going to Huaguo Mountain. The first time the water was transferred was because you asked Huaguo Mountain to rain again, and the fish and shrimp food was called again a few years ago, because of Wuji Kingdom. The world All things interact with each other, and it is impossible to use them everywhere, otherwise there will be a big mess. Later, when it comes to the matter of the Queen Mother, this Fengxian County will simply do it..."

   Hearing what the Bull Demon King said, the roller blind standing beside him smiled awkwardly.

   He can't get rid of the matter of Wuji Kingdom. He originally thought that the matter had already happened because of the monkey's action, but he didn't expect that he still had such a tail...

   "So what? They don't plan to bring rain to Fengxian County?"

"I didn't say that." The Bull Demon King thought for a while and replied: "Li Jing means that if you want rain, you can just transfer water from another place. However, if it is for Purdue's purpose, it is afraid to do so. There's no point. Let's figure it out for ourselves."

   This said, the monkey really didn't know how to answer it for a while. ,

   turned his head, he happened to see Tianpeng and Lu Liuguai walking in, and said casually, "What did the monk say?"

   "He...he didn't say it. However, he is now preparing to dig a well."

"what?"

  Monkey rushed out the door.

   Soon, he saw Xuanzang and the old county king in an abandoned courtyard in the south of the city.

   Xuanzang really bare his upper body with a hammer and erected a piece of wood, as if he was digging a well by himself.

   Looking at Xuanzang, who was very busy, from a distance, the monkey's brows were already frowning.

   "Master, what should we do next?"

   "What should I do?" The monkey snorted coldly and said, "Just let him. I'm really convinced." (To be continued~^~)
