[Journey to the West] Monkey, be good

"Sun...Wukong?" I repeated silently, knowing that "Great Sage" is not his real name, his surname is "Sun" and his first name is "Wukong".

When I looked up again, he and Jin Chan had already walked far away side by side, leaving only a red and a white back silhouette that seemed to fit quite well, and a series of clear laughter.

……

"Haha, I thought you people in West Heaven Court could only meditate and chant scriptures, but you can also ride horses."

"I know a thing or two, please help me choose a horse."

"It's easy to say! Hey, I said you don't want to be a great sage. Just call me 'Wukong'. The name is originally reserved for people to call me."

"Well, Goku."

……

I guess, he should have gone to the Tianma Garden with Jin Chan to pick horses as the Earth Immortal said.

"Oh, that monkey is really messing around. The tree at the east end of the garden blooms every 3000 years, and he just squeezed it all up!" After he left, the earth fairy looked at the fallen flowers all over the ground, shook his head and sighed. : "Let the queen mother know, how should I do business?" He said, he rolled his eyes at me with disgust, and spit.

"Bah! An ugly, crooked-neck tree is still trying to blossom and bear fruit. If it weren't for you, that dead monkey wouldn't have destroyed the Queen Mother's most cherished tree on a whim!"

Ever since it was discovered that it would not bloom, I have been squeezed by many people these years. I have heard worse things than this, and I have long since ignored it. explain.

I don't know when the Great Sage will come again, and if he will come again.If I don't come again, I will be the only one left to guard the beauty of the garden.I used to guard for tens of thousands of years, but I didn't feel anything. Although the time was long, I finally got over it.But meeting him today, I know that the days to come will not be so easy.

Because there is a kind of warmth, you don't feel cold when you haven't tasted it.But once you taste it, even if you keep guarding the ten-zhang karmic fire in the future, as long as it is not that person, it will be freezing cold.

In the next few days, because the bird nests on my body were almost shaken off, the birds that had made their homes on my head stopped coming.My life is quieter and quieter, but there seems to be something missing in my heart, as if lost.

Que'er has been here a few times, and when she rests on a branch, she inadvertently mentions the "Peach Club" and "Jacque Club".

She said that the Great Holy Lord picked a white dragon horse for Jin Chanzi, which can travel thousands of miles a day.

She said that the great sage has been training horses with Jin Chanzi at the racecourse for the past few days, and she didn't know that the great sage had such a good temper and patience.

She said, he and him, fresh clothes and angry horses, win but thousands of flowers.

What kind of scene should that be?

I have exhausted my brain and still can't imagine, the only thing I can remember is that I was covered with flowers that day, he stood under the most prosperous branch, twisted a petal and put it on the tip of his nose to sniff gently, with a smile on his brows and eyes, his expression focused and peaceful. gentle.

I think, but that's all.

As the fair is approaching, more and more immortals come to visit the peach garden, and more and more immortals come to pick peaches to entertain guests.

The grand event that is held once every hundreds of years is already grand and grand, but this time there are nobles from the West Heavenly Court coming to participate, which is even more grand than ever.

It stands to reason that, as the priest guarding the Tianma, this period of time should be the busiest time for Bi Mawen.I didn't expect him to come on the eve of the Peach Blossom Festival.There was another person who came with him, Jin Chan.

At that time, I was bored and dozed off, when I suddenly heard an intoxicating aroma of fruit wine wafting from under the tree, so I opened my eyes and saw him and Jin Chan leaning against my tree trunk, sitting on the ground.Jin Chan held a string of rosary beads in his hand, while he held a jug of wine in his hand.

I have tasted that wine, it is sweet and delicious!So he stared at him with wide eyes, thinking that when he drank the leftovers, he would throw the pot away, so that I could find a leak and take a few sips secretly with the pot.

At this time, he paused.My eyes lit up, thinking I'm tired of drinking again?But I saw him holding the body of the pot, sending it forward, and said to Jin Chan with a smile: "Hey, you have a sip too? The taste of this wine is not good, but it's just so-so for entertainment."

Jin Chanzi's lips were pale and thin, and when he was not speaking, he pursed his lips lightly, forming a straight line.He tilted his head back, dodging a drop of wine splashed from the spout, the corners of his mouth curled into a negligible arc, and he smiled very subtly, and said, "Wukong, you forgot again, I am a monk, and I don't drink."

"Oh, that's right, that's right." His expression was a bit annoyed, he raised his hand awkwardly and scratched the back of his head childishly, and said with a smile, "You don't have to drink it, and my grandson doesn't drink it either." He threw it away, The pot flew up, and it was a coincidence that it hung on my mouth again.

"..." There was a lot of wine left in the jug this time, but I suddenly lost the desire to drink. I just watched the clear wine slowly fall drop by drop, splash on the branches of the tree, and shatter into thousands of pieces. Be crystal clear.I feel a little uncomfortable, my nose seems to be stuffy and sore.

It is impolite to eavesdrop on other people's words. Although I am just a piece of rotten wood, I am a piece of wood with noble morals. I disdain the behavior of such a villain, so I sniffed my nose, pursed my mouth, and hid aside up.

I didn't hear what the two of them said later, but the laughter that came from time to time was very clear. After a while, I heard only a few words.

"Your real body is a monkey?"

"Exactly! Do you want to see it?"

"Ah--"

"No one has ever seen my real body in the sky, but I am the first one to show you!"

"Huh?" It wasn't because I was eavesdropping on purpose, it was because he was emotional and spoke a little louder, which reached my ears.

When he said this, he must have never imagined that besides him and Jin Chan, there was a third person present in the garden, and that was me.

Knowing that peeking is not good, but I couldn't help my curiosity, and I was afraid of being discovered. After repeated struggles, I finally decided to just peek through my fingers.

One glance is enough.

He steps on lotus root silk and walks on cloud shoes, wears a purple gold crown with phoenix wings on his head, and wears a golden armor with locks. He is a majestic Monkey King. Monkey King.

The monkey took out his golden cudgel, jumped to the open space beside him in twos and threes, and happily played it for Jin Chanzi.Jin Chanzi was sitting at my feet, leaning on my calf, with a faint smile on his lips and appreciation in his eyes.

"..." I pursed my lips, turned my back, and said in my heart, "It's okay for a monkey to dance around with a broken stick. The golden light is shining brightly, and the young master's eyes will be blinded by the shaking!"

The monkey only played for a while, when Jin Chanzi said something, he stopped.Putting away the golden cudgel and turning back into a human body, a little fairy boy came over and called Jin Chan away, saying that the Jade Emperor had something important to discuss with him for tomorrow's Peach Festival.

I thought the monkey would also go with him, but when I turned around, I saw him still standing under the tree, watching Jin Chan's back, no longer happy just now, with a slightly lonely expression on his face.

Why is he lonely, and why is he upset?

After standing still for a while, he suddenly raised his head, and his eyes met. My heart was shocked, and I missed a few beats suddenly.

When I realized that my nervousness was actually unnecessary, because he didn't know my existence, he had already walked deep into the flowers.

"Hey, Ugly Tao'er!" Que'er flew back, and this time she brought a friend with red hair on her belly, chirping, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you listless, you've lost weight."

"Don't talk nonsense, when did I get fat? I've always been slim!" I argued with a puffy face.

"Hey! I'm not talking nonsense." Que'er said: "You used to be ugly enough, but now you're thinner and have a bitter face, it's even more ugly! You're so ugly that I don't even want to build a nest on you. Let's see you in Jianghu!"

"If you want to go, go!" I stomped my feet and shouted, "If you really go, I have to thank you!"

"I'm sick! Who do you turn to for offending you? Why are you angry at me?!" Que'er snorted angrily, and flew away with the red-bellied parrot.

Who offended me?

I was taken aback by the question, and after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't come up with a reason, but there was indeed a fire in my heart, and it was uncomfortable.I had no choice but to find a branch that had completely withered, and used my nails to dig the old bark on it, just to vent.

"Yo." After I picked three twigs, the monkey teased from under the tree, "What? I haven't seen you for a few days, and you changed a new trick. This time, instead of dropping the bird's nest, you changed the bark?"

"Huh?" I paused, looked down, and saw him carrying a bunch of peach blossoms back and forth as in the past few days, I hurriedly put down the dead branches in my hand, blinked my eyes twice, and sat quietly.

The monkey sprinkled the flowers on me as usual, put away the stick, jumped lightly, and leaned on my shoulder.Seeing the wine jug hanging on the branch, he reached out to take it out and shook it. Seeing that there were still many in it, he raised his head and threw it all into his mouth.

"Hey!" I stretched out my hand to stop him, but when I touched his sleeve, I dodged it.

I frowned and looked at him worriedly: "That's not how you drink wine, and...and didn't you say you don't like wine?"

"You..." The monkey dropped the flagon and turned to look at me.He might be a little drunk, his golden eyes were moist, like fog.Stretching out his hand to fiddle with my branches, he chuckled lightly: "I don't know why... I always feel that you can understand what I say, you say... Am I bewildered?"

"I really understand." I said hurriedly, stretching out my fingers cautiously, and the fingertips were aligned with his.Maybe it's an illusion, I think the monkeys today are different from those in the past, at least, a few days ago, he wouldn't get drunk with just a pot of fine wine.

"It's just a tree. If you think about it, you won't understand." The monkey's smile suddenly became a bit bitter, he turned over, touched my fingertips with his fingers, and sighed: "Look Look at these people in the sky. On the surface, they fear me and call me a great sage. But in reality? I know that they only fear me, but have no respect for me. They are just afraid of this stick in my hand!"

I remembered that day as soon as the monkey and the golden cicada left, the Earth Immortal scolded "the dead monkey destroyed the Queen Mother's tree". Respect"?

The monkey rested its head on the back of its hand and said, "I've found out what Bi Mawen is doing. The Jade Emperor sent me to feed his horses. It's not authentic! The Pantao Society even invited Sanxian from the lower realm. But he didn't even give me an invitation card, and he asked me to help him choose horses for the race."

It turns out that the monkey, like me, is not happy in this heaven.I always thought that he had a noble status, even if he was not afraid of the sky and the earth, he would have nothing to worry about.Seeing him now with drunken eyes, huddled against my shoulders, I felt an inexplicable pain in my heart.

"My old grandson just doesn't have the same knowledge as the Jade Emperor's old man, so I don't want to care about it, otherwise..." Monkey said, before he finished speaking, he remembered something, and his smile became a little warmer: "He is the first one who is willing to be sincere." Those who treat me will not be respectful because they are afraid of me. In front of me, every expression and every word of his is true. He said...his ideal is to save all living beings..."

It took me a long time to react to the "he" that the monkey said before I realized that it was referring to Jin Chan. What is "dream" and what is "delivering sentient beings", I don't quite understand, but I think... I am not afraid of monkeys, because I have seen his gentle side, and now I see his fragile side .

I am also willing to treat him sincerely, if... I am a rotten tree, but I can also have a heart.

"Hey!" While I was talking, the monkey suddenly grabbed my fingertips, shook it lightly, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about these unhappy things, now that you have tasted the taste of flowering, do you want to see it again?" Taste the joy of bearing fruit?"

"..." The subject of the monkey changed a little too fast, I didn't have time to react, and I saw that he used some kind of formula, "Whoosh—" suddenly turned into a giant peach the size of a bowl, lying on my shoulder "chi chi chi "Sneaking, he asked: "Guess, if someone came to pick peaches, would they be surprised to see you bear fruit, and would they pick me too?"

Seeing him laughing happily like a child who has succeeded in a prank, I found that whether he can bear fruit seems to have become less important, and it is fine now.

Not long after, he fell asleep on my shoulder, still looking like a peach when he slept.I lowered my head, put my lips against his cheek, and touched it lightly.

Sure enough, on the second day, the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple fairy girls who were in charge of picking peaches came to the peach garden with bamboo baskets. They were all surprised when they saw a big and juicy peach on my body. The peaches were picked off and brought to be rewarded.

"It's really strange, the old iron tree that hasn't bloomed for 8000 years is bearing fruit!" Seven Fairies said.

The monkey nestled in the orange fairy's bamboo basket and raised its eyebrows at me.I wanted to wave my hand in response, and shook off Kazuki's petals.The monkey told me last night, he said that this time he stole the flowers skillfully, he picked two flowers from each tree, so he didn't have to worry about being found out.

The Pantao Festival was held for three full days, but I did not see what happened at the meeting.

But on the third day, a fire unicorn suddenly went berserk on the mount of some immortal family, disrupting the meeting and startling the Tianma.Thousands of royal celestial horses broke out of the Tianma Garden, trampling the heavens into a mess.

A frightened horse is the most difficult to tame, and all the immortals are riding clouds and fog, flying as high as they can, for fear of being hit by a horse.The Tianma broke into the Yaochi Lake and then into the Peach Garden, smashing the peach trees all over the garden to pieces, and smashed my body to pieces. There was also a fat and strong adult stallion, which slammed on my body and broke my leg. old waist.

"Ah!" I cried out in pain, lying on the ground unable to move.The crazy horse widened its copper bell-sized eyes, raised its front hooves, and was about to step on it.

Just at this time, the monkey stepped on the auspicious clouds, wore golden armor, swung the golden cudgel when all eyes were on it, and swept away the crazy horse with one stick.Afterwards, he stroked his vellus hair and blew lightly, transforming into tens of thousands of clones.

Although each monkey holds a mallet in his hand, wears golden armor, and can tame a crazy horse in one go, I can recognize him among thousands of monkeys at a glance.

Monkeys have left me with many impressions, either arrogant or unruly, free and easy, gentle or fragile, but only this time, I know that I will never forget it in my life.

Since then, I have had an ideal, and my ideal is: one day, I can be like monkeys, and when all eyes are on me, I will become a world-class hero wearing golden armor and stepping on auspicious clouds!

This is also the first time I have the idea of ​​cultivating as an adult, wanting to stand side by side with him, or standing on the highest cloud, or riding a horse and riding a whip.

That Pantao Festival, because Huo Qilin startled Tianma, and Tianma went crazy again, it finally became a farce.

After the farce, the peach orchard withered and most of the trees were dead. My injuries were considered minor, except that my waist was broken. I was still alive, but I was still in a coma for several months.

A few months later, I woke up again, and the heavens looked different.

The house collapsed and the walls collapsed, and the ashes after the fire were everywhere. The gods came and went in a hurry, and their bodies and faces were more or less wounded.

I grabbed a passing bird and asked what happened. He told me that the monkey made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace and was thrown into Laojun’s alchemy furnace to be calcined for seven to seven days. , Fighting all the way to the Lingxiao Hall of Yuqing Palace, no one can beat him.In desperation, Jade Emperor invited Xitian Tathagata.

Now, the once majestic and invincible Monkey King has been suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain, his mana is sealed, he is tortured by ice and fire, and he alternates day and night without stopping.

"What?" I was struck by lightning, my mind went blank, and I couldn't get back to my senses for a long time.
