Journey to the West: The Ninth Life

Canopy looked at the man holding the golden cudgel in the illusion, holding Tang Xuanzang in his arms, walking towards him step by step through the fog, and recognized his identity.

Monkey King Monkey King.

In other words, Tianpeng had heard of Monkey King's name a long time ago.

It was the first time he made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, and the entire Heavenly Court was powerless to fight back.

The second time he made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, not only the Heavenly Court, but even the Buddha was hit by him, causing internal injuries.

But he was caught without a fight.

On the stage of Zhuxian, he was cut into pieces by thousands of knives, skinned and bones.

Almost at that time, he lost his prestige and was spurned by all monsters and gods.

Tianpeng always felt that he and Sun Wukong were the same kind of people.

In other words, their lives and their endings are so similar that they can no longer be similar.

Canopy, who used to be in charge of 36 elite soldiers in the Heavenly Court, even once proudly thought that he was smarter than Monkey King.

And now.

Sun Wukong played with the golden cudgel in his hand as if nothing had happened, with his back straight, standing in the illusion surrounded by white mist, his eyes narrowed slightly.

It was as if he could sense that the canopy was also looking at him.

Head up.

Smile slightly.

The canopy's heart was locked almost instantly, as if being held by a big hand, and the whole body was covered in cold sweat.

When he remembered to use his mana to resist, Sun Wukong sneered and looked away.

It was like going through a life-and-death crisis.

Canopy was terrified.

It was almost at this moment that he finally realized that there was a huge gap between Monkey King and him.

To be honest, Sun Wukong is almost furious now, wishing to destroy this misty illusion.

Tang Xuanzang was injured again under his nose.

When the golden cudgel was raised, it was about to be smashed down with one blow.

next second.

He frowned again and put it down.

He turned his head and stretched out his hand towards Tang Xuanzang, and only after he grabbed him did he sneer.

"I didn't expect this pig to be so stupid."

Tang Xuanzang was taken aback.

"What pig?"

Sun Wukong shook his head, stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, with indescribable emotions, his eyes were deep, and he spoke lightly to explain to Tang Xuanzang.

"The Canopy Marshal in the illusion was thrown into the animal road and turned into a pig."

In Sun Wukong's view, Tianpeng's move to clarify for Chang'e is really stupid.

Perhaps on the surface, it seems that there is not much difference from what he did for Jiang Liuer 500 years ago, but in reality, it is so far away.

Not only did Jiang Liu'er die, but he was also wiped out in ashes. Even if Sun Wukong's magic power was against the sky, he couldn't save him for a moment.

So he put down everything and accepted a thousand cuts, preferring to be suppressed for another 500 years, and to ask the Buddha for a way out for Jiang Liu'er.

But what about the canopy?

The gods have treacherous thoughts, and they have done so many dirty things.

I like Chang'e, but I have done all these stupid sacrifices.

In charge of the 36 heavenly soldiers in the heavenly court, he never thought about finding out the real villain who was behind the tricks, but left Chang'e alone in the heavenly court, but he lost everything and entered the animal way and became a stupid pig.

Monkey King snorted.

idiot!

----

----

The mirror of the environment in front of him was completely shattered, and the canopy was backlashed, trembling all over, and spurting another mouthful of blood.

"Brother Bajie, you...are you alright?"

A girl in a green dress who was sitting some distance away from the canopy had worried eyes, but she didn't dare to approach her, so she asked tentatively, "You've...have vomited blood several times...Do you want me to go?"

Before he finished speaking, Tianpeng chuckled, shook his head, wiped the blood from his mouth, and said to the girl, "Cuilan, can I trouble you to help me invite the two people outside?" ?”

Hearing that he finally spoke to her, the girl named Cuilan's eyes lit up almost instantly, she nodded vigorously and ran out quickly.

And Tianpeng sat on the spot with a bad vitality, looked at her back, and sighed imperceptibly.

Guanyin Bodhisattva came to Gaolaozhuang a few days ago and told him to follow the holy monk and Monkey King who came from the Tang Dynasty to learn scriptures from the west.

Maybe it's the one who was trapped in the illusion just now?

Soon.

Sun Wukong is in the front, Tang Xuanzang is in the back.

There was also a girl named Cuilan, who looked at the canopy sitting not far away with some vague worry, but hesitated to speak.

Seeing them coming in, Tianpeng quickly stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Facing Tang Xuanzang, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

"According to the order of Master Guanyin, we are waiting in Gaolaozhuang."

"I hope Master Xuanzang will accept me as an apprentice, and let me protect you all the way to the west to learn scriptures."

As soon as the words came out, Tang Xuanzang hadn't had time to react, Gao Cuilan in green almost instantly blushed and took a step forward.

"Brother Bajie, why do you..."

He waved at Gao Cuilan.

Tianpeng turned his head to look at her and smiled, with a gentle expression, like a brother.

"Cuilan, your injury has healed, and it's time for elder brother to leave."

"As a man, I also have my responsibilities to bear."

Before she finished speaking, Gao Cuilan's tears were already streaming down her cheeks, but she covered her mouth, lowered her head, and ran out quickly.

Sighed.

Tianpeng turned his head to look at Tang Xuanzang.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva asked me to wait here in Gaolaozhuang and wait for Master to come to be your second apprentice and go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures with you."

Guanyin?

Hearing what Tianpeng said, Tang Xuanzang just vaguely remembered that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva had indeed said that there were three disciples waiting for him to go to the west along the way.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "But Marshal Tianpeng... the female benefactor just now..."

It's not that he asked multiple times.

It was the way Gao Cuilan looked at the canopy, anyone could see the tenderness in it.

"Master, I'm no longer Marshal Tianpeng, I'm just a monster named Zhu Bajie now."

"As for Cuilan, I only think of her as my younger sister."

Seemingly unwilling to talk more about this topic, Tianpeng nodded at Tang Xuanzang and said, "Master will call me Bajie from now on."

Speaking of this level, Tang Xuanzang naturally would not have any other opinions.

As for Sun Wukong.

He has always said little, and he will not interfere too much with Tang Xuanzang's decision. He shrugged his shoulders, put the golden cudgel on his shoulders, and then turned and left the hall.

late at night.

There is no wind, the moon is big, round and bright.

Monkey King is sitting on a tall tree, with deep black golden eyes, he is thinking about today's illusion.

"My lord, why don't we have a drink together?"

Canopy didn't know when he appeared in the yard, standing under the tree with two wine jars in his hand, raised his head and smiled at Monkey King.

Human head pig face.

It looks a little scary and hideous.

For some unknown reason, there was some unexplainable taste of heroes cherishing each other.

Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes, noncommittal.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Tianpeng sat on the ground by himself, raised his head and looked at the moon in the distance, his voice was low.

"It's been a long time since I was demoted to the mortal world, and no one has had a drink with me."

Monkey King stretched out his hand, and directly took the wine jar placed next to the canopy in his hand.

Looking up to himself, he took a sip.

Don't look at him either.

Canopy sat on the ground and watched the moon speak on its own.

"I have seen the moon in the sky for more than 400 years."

"But I always feel that I can't see enough, no matter how I look at it, I can't see enough."

"Great Sage, my old pig admires you very much, I really admire you. In this world, you are probably the only one who dares to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace twice and survive." He raised his head and laughed loudly twice. , the canopy took a few sips of wine, and continued with red eyes, "If I could be like you back then, I'm afraid it would be two different situations again?"

He lowered his head and glanced casually at the canopy. Sun Wukong didn't speak, and was still drinking on his own.

"Great Sage, in fact, I didn't use it to confuse others in today's foggy illusion."

Tianpeng's eyes were a little dazed, some indescribable, some deeply lingering thoughts.

"I just want to miss her."

I don't know if I found someone to confide in, the canopy was drunk, but still kept talking.

It was as if he wanted to pour out all the unspeakable words that had accumulated in his heart today.

"Cuilan was rescued by me going down the mountain by accident."

"I don't know if it's God's will, but she looks exactly like Chang'e."

Looking up at the bright moon, Canopy's tone was flat, but abrupt, making people hear a little unspeakable sadness and pain.

"I haven't seen her for more than 400 years, and it happened that I met Cuilan again."

"Cuilan is the only one who doesn't dislike my pig-faced monster appearance. She said she would marry me."

There was some inexplicable shame in Tianpeng's eyes.

"But you said that a person only has this heart, and he will only love that one person in his life."

"I'm sorry Cuilan."

Sun Wukong didn't seem to hear him.

"Did Jane see Chang'e at Zhuxian Terrace?"

Canopy was taken aback.

But he quickly realized that the last scene he saw in the illusion was the scene of him asking to see Chang'e again on Zhuxian Terrace.

long silence.

He finally shook his head.

Looking at the bright moon that is far away, the voice of the canopy is a bit ethereal, and the somewhat frightening face is shrouded in shadows, and it becomes a bit softer.

"The Jade Emperor agrees."

"But I regret it."

That's right.

At the last moment, he regretted it.

He asked the Jade Emperor for an exception by using the achievements he had accumulated in the heaven for thousands of years.

He was unwilling to let Chang'e know what he had done for him.

She has a cold temper, but she is still kind after all.

He has watched her for 1000 years, missed her for 1000 years, and waited for her for 1000 years, so he naturally knows what it is like to be concerned about someone in his heart.

Even if she never loved him, he would not let her suffer even the slightest grievance.

Not to mention guilt.

She can not love him, but she can't feel sorry for him.

"madness."

Sun Wukong dropped this sentence coldly, raised his head and took a sip of his wine, as if he was too lazy to tell Tianpeng about these things.

Canopy was dumb, but unable to refute.

With a dry throat, he nodded at Sun Wukong.

"Yes, I'm too cowardly..."

The two of them drank silently, which was actually a rare tacit understanding.

I don't know how much I drank.

In the end, the canopy was already wobbly, unable to stand steadily, his face was flushed, and his eyes were erratic.

On the other hand, Sun Wukong, sitting on a tree as if nothing happened, can't see his emotions clearly.

Canopy was drunk, stretched out his hand and pointed at Monkey King and laughed.

"Great Sage, from tomorrow onwards I will be your junior brother. You said how wonderful the fate in this world is."

Sun Wukong didn't seem to hear him, so he ignored him and drank by himself.

"It is said that the great sage Equaling Heaven has overwhelming mana and has never missed a shot."

The canopy wobbled and walked to the base of the tree where Monkey King was sitting, "Do you think there is anyone in the world who can make you lose your temper?"

Sun Wukong was a little impatient.

He swept down the empty wine jar with a wave of his hand, and didn't bother to fix the canopy of the drunken maniac.

"hey-hey."

Canopy smiled to himself.

Looking up at the moon above his head, his voice was a little hoarse.

"Great Sage, tell me what I look like now. I'm Zhu Bajie, and I'm no longer Marshal Tianpeng."

"It's sacrilegious to me to look at her."

"What do you say I should do?"

Finally, his eyes fell on the canopy.

Looking at his back, what Sun Wukong thought of was Tang Xuanzang's face.

that fool.

If he heard the story of the canopy, he might have to struggle with it for several nights and be unable to sleep.

He is obviously a monk with pure six senses, but he still manages too many nosy things all day long.

A little impatient, Sun Wukong was distracted, while disgusting Tang Xuanzang in his heart.

The canopy wobbled.

He raised his head and looked at Sun Wukong.

"Great Saint."

"Old Pig, I still can't let Chang'e go."

"What about you?"

He seemed a little drunk.

"Who will Monkey King fall in love with?"

Sun Wukong frowned.

"My grandson will never fall in love with anyone."

Tianpeng laughed loudly, leaned forward and backward, raised his head and pointed at him, a little angry that he lied.

"What about Master?"

"You obviously love him."

As soon as the words come out.

Sun Wukong squinted his eyes almost instantly, and the aura of the whole body rose, overflowing with energy, and the shave made his face hurt, before the canopy could react.

next second.

Monkey King has already flew down and grabbed his neck.

His voice was low and dangerous.

On the verge of rage.

He stared at the canopy tightly, gritted his teeth, and paused every word.

"Say it to me again!"

The author has something to say:
