[Journey to the West] Empty Enlightenment Bodhi

Maybe it was because he was refreshed after eating, the white-haired monkey clings to the little monkey tightly, squatting beside the little monkey, poking his head to help the little monkey play with those small stones, muttering words.

"When the thunder in the sky stops, I will take you to the back mountain to play. There are delicious peaches in the back mountain! Let me tell you," the white-haired monkey is full of energy when talking about food, "I can teach How do you choose peaches with aura, I am the best at this."

The little monkey glanced at him, and declined the white-haired monkey's invitation to eat peaches: "I'm not a monkey." I don't eat peaches either, thank you.

"I know," the white-haired monkey touched his nose, you are an earth fairy, you are not a monkey, you are born different from us monsters.

The little monkey looked up at him and thought, if you know something, you just say you know it.

But the little monkey didn't say anything, he was still playing with the stones.

"Let me tell you," probably feeling that the little monkey's hostility has subsided, the white-haired monkey came over and smiled, "I will introduce you to the outside world. Our place is called Huaguo Mountain, and it has such a long history. , so long," the white-haired monkey compared his arms, "longer than mine—"

Nonsense, the little monkey thought, you are a gibbon, your arms can be shortened and grow up at will, what can be longer than your arms.

But the little monkey still didn't speak.

Because he was not sure whether the newborn monkey would know that the other was a gibbon.

Anyway, no matter what, he knew that a newborn monkey would definitely not know such advanced formations like him.

Therefore, the little monkey wisely decided to talk less.

The white-haired monkey continued to chatter with the little monkey, "Let me tell you, Huaguo Mountain is very big, spanning the entire Aolai Kingdom of Dongsheng Shenzhou. There are 72 peaks here, and each peak has its own peak. Master of the Peak," the white-haired monkey said very carefully, and at the same time observed the expression of the little monkey.

"What is the peak master? A mad pig? The master of the bees?"

"The master of the peak is the master of the peak," the white-haired monkey explained patiently. "The creatures in charge of the entire peak are lower than the king of Huaguo Mountain, but higher than the rest of the creatures."

"The King of Huaguo Mountain? What is that?"

"It's the King of Huaguo Mountain. We pay tribute to him every year. He protects us. If other monsters from the mountain come to attack us, the King of the Mountain will stand up for us and protect us." The white-haired monkey explained earnestly. .

"Oh," the little monkey nodded very politely, with an expression of "So the King of the Mountain is so great".

"So, do you monkeys also have an exclusive Peak Master?"

"No," the white-haired monkey coughed in embarrassment, "we belong to Xiaoyao Peak, and the owner of the peak is a peony. But our status is also very noble! We only need to water the descendants of the peak owner on time Get rid of the bugs and nothing else. We are noble too!"

"Oh," the little monkey nodded knowingly, and didn't ask any further questions, but his eyes had already revealed everything, and the white-haired monkey was a little annoyed, "What's your look like?"

"I don't have any expression." The little monkey stroked his furry face with his furry hands. "It's probably not long since he was born, so he still can't control his facial expressions?"

The white-haired monkey snorted and turned his head away. After a while, he suddenly came back.

"What do you call monkeys? Why don't you admit that you are a monkey!"

The white-haired monkey looked at the little monkey sadly, "You will be regarded as crazy by the monkeys in the clan, do you know that?"

The little monkey's round eyes widened, and it looked at the white-haired monkey in disbelief, showing a little fear and a little, um, a little hope. All in all, the expression was very complicated.

The white-haired monkey was complacent and thought, haha, so you are also afraid sometimes.

"Would it be terrible to be treated as insane?"

"Of course!" The white-haired monkey threatened him solemnly, "If you are regarded as insane, you will be locked up by the elders of the clan, and you will not be allowed to go out, and your diet will be strictly controlled. Staying in a fixed room, you can't go anywhere. It's suffocating!"

"Well," the little monkey nodded self-consciously, "Being locked in a house, not having to work, having food to eat, and a place to live, is a very good condition."

White Haired Monkey: ...

This is the first time I saw such a lazy monkey.

No, according to the scriptures, the little monkey is the one who will hit the heavenly palace, I can't let him be so lazy.

"Don't you want to change the status quo of the monkeys? Don't you want to build a mountain yourself and let the world admire it?"

The white-haired monkey quickly reviewed the key points in the storybook, cut to the point, and did it neatly.

The little monkey seemed a little moved after hearing what the white-haired monkey said.

"Admired by all ages?"

"Yes!" The white-haired monkey looked at the little monkey excitedly, and quickly expanded on this point, sparing no effort to build a beautiful country for the little monkey.

"Think about it, soon, there will be a monkey peak in the 72 peaks of Huaguo Mountain! There, monkeys no longer need to be attached to other species, they can independently open up the mountain and become the owner of a mountain! How many generations of monkeys, looking forward to the stars and the moon, finally became their own masters on a certain peak of Huaguo Mountain—the monkeys here live the life of first-class mountain people and enjoy the services of other species What a joyful thing monkeys should be!”

"Yes! Ah!" The little monkey echoed him in a cadence, "But! Yes! You just! Didn't you say that the lives of little monkeys are very noble! Attaching to Shaoyao is! Don't need any changes!"

White Haired Monkey: ...

"I'm just talking casually, why are you so serious," the white-haired monkey smiled awkwardly.The little monkey stared at him, the skin of the white-haired monkey in front of him was quite tender.It's pretty good-looking when blushing, but it's useless to be good-looking, he is not a vulgar person who only looks at his face.He will not lead the monkey clan to glory.

The white-haired monkey continued to explain: "That's what I said before, wasn't I afraid that you wouldn't go back to the tribe with me? You didn't admit that you were a monkey. If you heard the news that the monkey was not a first-class mountain dweller , and even more unwilling to admit that I am a monkey, what should I do?"

The little monkey stared at the white-haired monkey's face, and hummed vaguely, indicating that he heard it.

This white-haired monkey looks really good-looking.

The white-haired monkey heaved a sigh of relief, and continued to tell the little monkey the story of Huaguo Mountain.

Maybe it was because he had given in to the little monkey before, or maybe it was because the little monkey really didn't have the previous hostility, and the white-haired monkey relaxed a lot.

He talked about the basic layout of Huaguo Mountain, including but not limited to the king of Huaguo Mountain and the main peak masters of Huaguo Mountain.

It turns out that Huaguo Mountain is divided into hilltops according to species, and there are also grades between hilltops. The specific rankings are based on the fighting power of the peak masters. For example, on Xiaoyao Peak where they are located, the fighting power of Shaoyao Peak Master ranks tenth in the entire Huaguo Mountain. So their Xiaoyao Peak can barely be considered in the entire Huaguo Mountain.

And on each mountain, there are different levels. For example, on the top of Lion Mountain, the lion is the first-class mountain people, and everything else must be left behind. On the top of the Niu Mountain, the cow is the first-class mountain people, and the lions need everything. Back row.By analogy, for each mountain, the species of the peak owner is the first priority, and the rest are vassals.

The little monkey nodded and stared at the white-haired monkey.

"Then can't they go to their own hills? For example, the cows on the lion hills can go back to their own cow hills."

"You think it's too simple." The white-haired monkey laughed, "Our system is very strict. Where you live is determined by the place of birth, and you are not eligible to change or choose. Unless you can challenge the 72nd peak master and defeat them, Open up a mountain that has never been there before, so that you have the right to speak, and can decide whether other species will stay or not. Similarly, if there is a first-class citizen on the other side of the mountain who is willing to accept you as his family wife or husband If so, you can also move to another mountain."

Um, strict hierarchy.

The little monkey listened to the system of Huaguoshan, and suddenly became interested in the mountain king of Huaguoshan who drafted this system.

"King of the Mountain," the white-haired monkey scratched his face and cheeks, feeling a little distressed, "I don't know too well, I just know that the King of the Mountain has a very powerful move, they call it, um, it seems to be something called Buddha Light Yes, he used this to defeat many Taoist priests who invaded us, by the way, the king of the mountain is very good-looking! Wearing white clothes, um, the main body is probably a human being? I can’t see through him.”

"Then can you beat him?"

The little monkey suddenly said seriously.

The white-haired monkey was stunned, "No, of course I can't." The bewildered white-haired monkey seemed frightened by the sudden high opinion, "You really overestimate me, how could I beat the King of Mountains? Ah. If I can beat the King of the Mountain, how can I use it here..."

"Oh," the little monkey nodded knowingly, and after covering up the white-haired monkey's words, he stopped the conversation very considerately, patted his butt and left.

"Hey, hey," the white-haired monkey followed behind the little monkey, chattering endlessly, "I've told you so much, why don't you respond?"

"Don't you want to be the chosen monkey to save thousands of monkeys? Don't you want to be the master of a peak and lead many monkeys to open up the Monkey Peak on Huaguo Mountain?!"

"Don't you want to save thousands of compatriots in dire straits?"

"No, I don't want to," the little monkey refused him.

"You are so cruel." The white-haired monkey whispered.

The little monkey made a smirk, pointed to the bursts of thunder in the sky mixed with Fengming: "I am still in dire straits."
