I talk about life with Wukong [Mythology]

It began to drizzle.In the early morning, the street market is deserted and there are few people, only small vendors are leisurely stocking their stalls, passers-by in twos and threes hold umbrellas and chat softly as they pass by the street, and farmers pushing wheelbarrows pick up freshly picked melons and fruits Walk across the Qingshi Banqiao and walk towards the vegetable market.

Everywhere is full of the breath of life, this is the mortal world.

A person came from a distant street corner, his clothes were ragged, his temples were disheveled, he limped slowly approaching, the rain soaked his old clothes little by little, he slowly raised his head and looked at the still In the sky that was still drizzling, an ugly face was revealed.

It looks like it's going to rain for another day.

He coughed twice, leaning on a cane and approaching a small stall step by step: "Excuse me..."

The little second brother who sold steamed buns thought he was here for business, so he raised his head to greet him happily, but he turned out to be a beggar. He looked very scary, but he also exuded a foul smell, so he couldn't help changing his face immediately: "Go Go, we don't pay for food here, if you don't buy it, get out!"

The beggar coughed twice again, "Brother, I, I'm not a beggar, I just want to ask, do you know how to get to Wuzhishan?"

"Wuzhishan?" The second brother thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, so go away, the shopkeeper will come and scold me later."

Hearing that he didn't know, the beggar lowered his head in disappointment, and limped away from the breakfast stand on crutches.

The second elder brother muttered and cursed at the stinky beggar, and waved the rag at the place where the beggar was standing just now, fearing that the stench on his body would spoil his steamed buns.

The beggar didn't give up, he stopped and stopped all the way, asking people about the whereabouts of "Wuzhishan", but the answer he got was that he didn't know or he was kicked out. There was a relatively rude businessman, so he just called the guy out to fight.

Beggars were thrown out of the street and huddled beside roadside rubbish heaps.

The early spring rain fell on his body with a chill, and the beggar curled up coldly and sat up leaning against the wall behind him, trying to warm himself up in this way.

After living in Heaven for a long time, he had forgotten what it was like to be a mortal, and what it meant to be cold, warm, hungry and full, and only after reincarnation did he think about it again.

In front of Naihe Bridge, he obviously drank the bowl of Mengpo soup under the guard of Mengpo and ghost soldiers, but for some reason he did not lose his memory.

He remembers it all.

He remembered Xuanting, Qingfeng, the Great Sage, and himself... called Tao Zi.

He remembered Xuanting gently touching his head, telling him not to be afraid, Qingfeng smilingly saying "Call me brother", and Dasheng calling "Silly Taozi" in high spirits.

He remembers everything.

The corners of the beggar's eyes were moist, but he didn't dare to shed tears, because the cold wind would hurt his face very much.

He remembered some things, but he also seemed to have forgotten some things. He didn't know who told him what, but he vaguely recalled that someone told him that if he was still confused, he would go straight north, to the extreme north. land.

He didn't know what there was in the extreme north, but he wanted to meet the great sage before he went.

This was his first reincarnation, and he was reincarnated as a beggar. Thinking about it carefully, he was quite lucky, at least he didn't really become a beast who couldn't say anything.He is a human being, he can still ask for directions, and he can go to the foot of Wuzhi Mountain to meet his sweetheart.

He couldn't remember where he started from, but he only remembered that there were people who disliked him everywhere, and the abscess on his back couldn't be cured. Order food and continue on our way.

But he actually has no direction, and he can’t remember exactly where Wuzhishan is in the original book, so he can only scurry around like a headless chicken, asking everyone he meets with a glimmer of hope, “Do you know Wuzhishan?”

But no one can tell him that only a few decades have passed since the great sage wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace. No one knows about that great war, and no one knows where the majestic and majestic monkey that once swallowed the world was crushed under the mountain. king.

It doesn't matter if you can't find it in this life, the beggar comforted himself like this, he still has the next life, the next life, the next life, and the next life, and in the next life, he will be able to reach Wuzhishan in one life.

When the time comes, when he meets the Great Sage, he will pretend to be relaxed and tell him, Great Sage, we meet again.

A new hope was ignited in the beggar's heart, and his body seemed not so cold anymore.

It's just that the stomach was really unpleasant, and there was an untimely "grunt" sound, which pulled him out of his imagination.

Alas, he forgot again, mortals cannot live without food.

The feeling of being hungry is not good. No one likes the pain that all the internal organs of the body are convulsing violently. Even if a beggar has been used to hunger in the past few decades, he still cannot fully adapt.

He needs to eat.

The beggar fumbled around on his body, but he didn't find a single coin. The few copper coins he begged for last time were snatched away by other beggars, so there was no money left.

No money means no food, and the hope in the eyes of beggars is slowly extinguished.

"Grandpa, what are you doing here?" A little girl's face suddenly appeared in front of her, carrying the unique sweet smell of her daughter's home.

The beggar raised his head, revealing a terrifying face and the white eye that was already blind.

The little girl was startled, the pastry in her hand fell to the ground, and she cried out with a "wow".

The beggar was at a loss, and wanted to reach out to wipe her tears away, but looked at his dark, dirty and wrinkled hands, and retracted sadly.

The little girl's father rushed to hear the news, thinking that the beggar was bullying his daughter, and he beat her up, scolding and telling him to get out of here.

The beggar had no choice but to hold his own crutch and escape by rolling and crawling with his head in his arms.

He was used to being beaten, and it hurt a lot at first, but after being beaten too much, he became numb.He also wanted to resist. He was never afraid of fighting with a group of savage monkeys in Huaguo Mountain.

But now his physical condition does not allow it, the punishment of the Jade Emperor is impossible for him to have a good ending, he can only linger in the violence.

He didn't know if Qingfeng had the same fate as him, he didn't dare to think about it.

The beggar was driven out of the city with a limp. He had nowhere to go but took every step he took.

There is a wild dog eating under the outer wall of the city. The beggar looks at it longingly for a long time. The powerful people in this world are the kings. The wild dogs can eat if they have the ability. The beggar is weak and will be eliminated naturally.

Not everyone can have the experience of grabbing food from a dog. Most people are not unable to do it, but disdain to do it. It’s not a troubled time.

But even a bone is a lifesaver for a beggar.

The fighting power of wild dogs is very strong, but the desire to survive makes the beggar desperate. After all, the beast bowed its head, and ran away roaring angrily with its tail between its legs.

Sitting under the city wall, the beggar gnawed on the bones with little meat left, and sucked the few marrow inside, and suddenly remembered the delicious fruit snacks he ate when he was in heaven.

In fact, they taste almost the same, the beggar really thinks so.What Tianting eats is just a taste, but the bones can make him live longer, so looking at it this way, the bones are still delicious.

The beggar ate all the bones in his stomach. He felt a little warmth in his body. He stood up and walked forward. He didn't forget his purpose of going to Wuzhishan.

The wind outside the city was much stronger than inside the city, and even the spring breeze still hurt his face. While shaking his body, the beggar walked forward firmly step by step with trembling legs.

Although he didn't know if he was going in the right direction, but he couldn't stop, as if he had lost all hope.

There was a small river outside the city, and the beggar went to the small river to try his luck, maybe he could pick up a fish or something.

He squatted down and quietly watched if there was anything swimming in the river, and suddenly saw his own reflection in the water, and was stunned for a moment.

Is this... me?

In the reflection in the water, an ugly old man with grey-haired hair and blue-purple face was staring at him blankly with his other eye, which was completely different from the well-rounded, white and tender boy in his impression.

The beggar took two steps back in fright, not daring to look at the people in the water again.

He thought, with his ghostly face now, even if he went to Wuzhi Mountain, would the Great Sage still recognize him?Even if he could recognize him, he...wouldn't want to see himself like this.

What the Great Sage likes is that lovely, fragrant and soft silly peach, not this old, ugly, dirty, disgusting old beggar.

The beggar cried sadly.

He has never been such a strong person, and he has never been smart. His lifelong wish is to be an ordinary person and live a peaceful life. Whether he guards the stove or follows the Great Sage, it is fine to be ordinary, but Such people are most likely to be disappointed by fate.

The beggar failed to reach Wuzhishan in the end, and he was frozen to death by the small river, with wet tears all over his face.

The ghost of the underworld led him to Naihe Bridge, "Oh, you've only just started."

Tao Zi nodded, "I know."

He didn't give up, he still wanted to go to the Great Sage, even if he was going to the north, he had to see him first before leaving with peace of mind.

"Drink." Granny Meng handed over the soup in her hand.

Tao Zi drank without saying a word, anyway, he would still remember these things.

In the second world, he was a homeless mute who was bullied by children from neighboring villages to ride on a horse; The scolding scalper; in the fifth world, he was the most inferior young man in the brothel. He escaped countless times and was beaten to pieces. VIII...

Every life has an unhappy end, every life is painful and tortured, and every life tests his spirit.

What Po Meng said is also true, it is better to forget it, if you remember it every life, it will be really painful.

Tao Zi knows why he hasn't collapsed yet, because he still has faith in his heart, he still has hope, and he is still trying hard to go to Huaguo Mountain.

In one life, he was a house slave of a high-ranking official who signed a death contract. After running away countless times, he was caught and beaten, and finally escaped smoothly on a rainy night, asking people all the way to Wuzhishan.

He dragged himself seriously ill and finally came to the vicinity of Wuzhi Mountain, thinking that he could finally meet the person he wanted to see, but finally fell down in a field of flowers.

It is less than 500 meters away from Wuzhi Mountain.

When he died, his eyes were still stubbornly looking in the direction of Wuzhi Mountain, with a light that hadn't been extinguished in his eyes.

The Great Sage who was under Wuzhi Mountain seemed to be aware of it, and he raised his head and looked around, but everything he saw was weeds, and he couldn't see anything.

He seemed to have heard Silly Taozi's voice just now, but how could that be possible, Silly Taozi is still in the sky, he must still be guarding his stove.

I wonder if he misses me.

The Great Sage thinks this way, he has been under the mountain for 300 years, and these 300 years have allowed him to figure out many things.

At that time, if he hadn't let go of Silly Taozi's hand, if he hadn't insisted on fighting with the world to win or lose, if he had taken Silly Taozi away at that time, would everything be different now.

There is no medicine for regret in the world. Master Avalokitesvara told him that he would wait here for 500 years and follow a monk named Xuanzang to go to the Western Paradise to learn scriptures.

The Great Sage thought, 500 years in the mortal world is very short for Heaven, and he will be able to see Silly Taozi again after he gets through it. Silly Taozi must be very happy to see him.

The Great Sage himself smiled, turned his head to look at a wild peach tree not far from him, and stared at it in a daze.He knew that this tree would grow a lot of peaches in summer. Although he couldn't eat them, he could feel happy just looking at them.

Those peaches really looked like his silly Tao Zi, and I was happy to see them.

500 years have passed quickly, and Silly Taozi is waiting for me to go home.
