[Journey to the West] Monkey, be good

The monkey put away the umbrella, chased after him a few steps, and asked, "What are you doing in the middle of the night?"

Ben Xianjun didn't turn his head back, and said: "Go to Qiu Wuji, my shoulder hurts, I need to change the medicine."

"I'll go with you." The monkey said, grabbing Ben Xianjun's wrist.

Ben Xianjun paused, and turned his head to him, "Since the Great Sage knows that it is late at night, he must also know that if someone bumps into you and me going in and out together in the Yaoxian Mansion, it might not be right."

The monkey couldn't help but say, causing a somersault cloud, and half pulled and half hugged the fairy to climb up.

"There's nothing wrong with it. Whoever wants to talk can say it. I don't care." Monkey said, he let go of my wrist only after the somersaulting cloud flew high and he was sure that I could not slip away from him.

Ben Xianjun turned his wrist and looked into the distance.

The heavenly courts below the Nine Heavens are divided into day and night, but at the heights above the Nine Heavens, they are completely bright regardless of day and night.At this time, the clouds ahead were shallow, there was no wind, and the sky was clear and sunny.

Looking at such a beautiful scenery, this fairy is not good at saying bad things, but he still breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I care. I used to be young and ignorant, but now I have figured it out. You are a Buddhist. How to put it...you can't let people spread any gossip..."

"No." The monkey said lightly, "It's not anymore."

"!" Ben Xianjun was stunned for a moment, wondering if he understood the meaning, turned his head to look at him suddenly, and said, "It's not what?"

"I'm not a Buddhist." The monkey looked into my eyes and said calmly, "I'm a vulgar person."

"What?!" Ben Xianjun exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly reached out to pick off his forehead protector.

The monkey lowered its head a little in a very cooperative way, allowing me to move it up an inch without much effort.

Seeing that the little cinnabar Buddha seal on his forehead that symbolized the golden body no longer existed, I felt a little dazed in my heart.My fingertips rubbed the place where the cinnabar should have been printed on, and I murmured: "Why, you...you... have managed to get rid of the 'demon body', and you have cultivated it rightly. How come the golden body said no, so you don't want it?"

"It's all right." The monkey twitched his lips and said with a smile: "I don't think it will take a day or two to return to vulgarity. I remember I told you that when I was in Mount Ji."

"Yes, you did." Ben Xianjun nodded slightly, feeling mixed emotions when the monkey laughed.

The word "returning to the vulgar" is easy to say, but there are many rules in Buddhism. Does it mean that you can return to the vulgar when you say it?Moreover, the monkey is Xitian's "fighting and defeating Buddha", and his status is very important. If he wants to escape from Buddhism, several thunderstorms are indispensable.And what kind of pain it is to have the Buddha bones removed from the body, only those who have experienced it can truly know.

Since ancient times, many people have lost their lives before stepping out of Buddhism because they could not bear the pain of picking out the Buddha's bone. There are many people who lost their golden body because of the loss of the Buddha's bone. , There are also a small number of people; and in the process of picking out the Buddha's bones, there are many people who can't keep their hearts, fall into the devil with a single thought, and fall into the hell of Avici.

But the monkey smiled and said to this fairy, "Ah, I'm a vulgar person. I told you earlier that I want to be a vulgar person." It was like saying, "Ah, I'm full. Today's noodles are not bad. "

Does he know what a stupid and... heartbreaking thing he has done.

The monkey seemed to see through the mind of this fairy at the moment, he pulled down the hand of the fairy, held it lightly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, look at me now, don't I feel fine?"

"Is it all right?" Ben Xianjun withdrew his hand, stared at him, and said, "Have you looked in the mirror these days, your face is scary pale."

"..." The monkey emptied his hands, lowered his head and rubbed the tip of his nose, smiled unnaturally, and said, "Ah, I'm really fine, everything is almost fine."

Ben Xianjun looked away and asked quietly: "When did it happen?"

"A few days ago." Monkey said truthfully: "When you were still in a coma, I wanted to wait for you to wake up and give you a surprise."

No wonder Ben Xianjun woke up and saw the monkey for the first time, he felt that his face was unnaturally white, and he looked extremely haggard.

"Hehe." Ben Xianjun sneered, and said: "Scared is almost the same. You are making fun of your own life, aren't you fooling around? How old are you, how can you do such a naive thing. You are obviously hurt Just now, you even took the initiative to seek guilt, and you were struck by rain and lightning, do you think your life is too long?"

"Anyway, the book of life and death is canceled by me, and I can't die." The monkey said in a low voice.

"You!" Ben Xianjun suddenly didn't know what to say.

The monkey hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, I promise there will be no next time."

"Hehe." Ben Xianjun continued to sneer, and said: "Xiaoxian is not angry. Is it okay for such a trivial matter? Besides, who are you, Great Sage? You are so powerful, do you need others to worry about it?" After that, I put my hands behind my back and turned around to stop looking at the monkey.

"Are you really angry?" the monkey leaned closer and asked after me.

"No." Ben Xianjun said, "Really not." Actually, I'm more afraid than angry.

While speaking, he had already arrived at Yaoxian Mansion.Before entering the door, you can already smell the scent of medicine wafting in the yard.

Ben Xianjun and the two fell into a somersault cloud, and the little Yaotong ran out to meet him very cleverly, and led us to find Qiu Wuji.

The yard was full of people, and the fairies are usually beautiful, but once they get sick and have a headache, their demeanor will be greatly reduced, and everyone will sigh and groan listlessly.

"What's the matter?" Ben Xianjun wondered.

The medicine boy explained: "Recently there was a flu in the third heaven, and all the immortals fell ill with typhoid fever. No, they all came to seek medical advice. My family Jun is busy making pills to dispel cold and dehumidify at the pharmacy. "

At that time, Qiu Wuji was burying his head behind a mountain of medicinal materials, grabbing the mashed ointment with both hands, and kneading them into pills.Seeing Ben Xianjun and the monkey coming, he got up and came over to say hello.

"Great Sage, Cheng Xianjun, welcome from afar." Qiu Wuji stretched out his hand covered with medicinal mud.

Ben Xianjun looked at his hand, smiled awkwardly, and said: "You are busy, there is no need to shake hands, you continue to be busy, I will wait."

Qiu Wuji realized that his hands were full of medicines, and he also felt that something was wrong, so he also grinned awkwardly, pressed his hands into the basin to wash, and said: "It's not busy, it's just a coincidence that you two came here. Well, Cheng Xianjun is here to change the medicine."

"Well, yes." Ben Xianjun nodded.

The monkey said: "His wound seems to be open again, and it was wet during the day."

"Stained with water?" Qiu Wuji said: "This may be more serious, Cheng Xianjun, you find a stool and sit down, I will show you."

Monkey pulled over a Taishi chair.Ben Xianjun sat down like a stream of kindness, stretched out his hand to untie his clothes, and took them down half of his body, exposing his entire right shoulder.The monkey saw the pale pink blood oozing from the gauze, his eyes darkened, and he said, "Wuji, tell me...is his wound healing too slowly? It's been three months, how can he still tear it up?" Crack, won’t heal for a long time?”

"Well, Xiaoxian can only say that everyone's constitution is different, and the speed of wound healing also varies from person to person." After washing his hands, Qiu Wuji took a handkerchief and wiped it, and glanced at me. , smiled and said: "Cheng Xianjun, the Great Sage is here today, so there is no need for Xiaoxian to remove the gauze."

Ben Xianjun retorted what he had said before, and said: "You are a doctor, how can you let me go?"

"Heh—" Qiu Wuji laughed, put down his handkerchief, walked outside the door, and said, "I'm going to get the medicine. You saw outside the door just now, and there are still people waiting in line to see a doctor, in order to save time , I hope that when I come back, the gauze has already been removed."

"Hey!" Ben Xianjun called to stop him, and said: "Then what, the Great Sage seems to be feeling a little unwell, please come and show him first, if you need any medicine, bring it together."

The monkey's eyes brightened slightly.Qiu Wuji stepped back and gave the monkey a pulse, suddenly he frowned.

"What's wrong?" Ben Xianjun said.

Monkey and Qiu Wuji exchanged glances.Qiu Wuji let go of the monkey's pulse, and said with a smile, "It's nothing serious, the virtual fire is too strong, just take some fire-reducing medicine and you'll be fine."

Monkey straightened his cuffs slowly.

"Uh, Jianghuo..." Ben Xianjun sat on the cold bench with his back bare, and always felt that it was a bit inappropriate to face the monkey like this.At this time, his icy fingertips pressed on my fairy's shoulder, which made me tense up in fright, and said softly: "Ah!"

"I'll remove the gauze." The monkey said, with a smile in his tone: "Don't listen to Qiu Wuji's nonsense, he just made it up randomly."

Ben Xianjun blushed, and the monkey untied the gauze for me in circles, while I lowered my head and stared at my toes.It's just that when the last layer was removed, the half-dried blood stains were torn off, and the pain was unbearable.

"Hmm!" Ben Xianjun snorted, the voice was not loud, but the monkey still heard it.His palm was facing upwards, and Ben Xianjun grabbed his hand and held it tightly.The monkey immediately held me in his arms, carefully tore off the last bit of gauze with the other hand, and said in a gentle voice, "Hold on a little longer, and it will be healed soon."

"Yeah." Ben Xianjun lay in his arms, the pain was so painful that his nails were about to dig into his flesh, and he said in a muffled voice: "That's lighter——ah!!!" Ben Xianjun screamed, tears It burst out of the eye sockets directly.

"S—" the monkey gasped after being pinched by me.He threw away the gauze, lightly patted the back of this fairy's head, and said: "Okay, okay, it's already untied."

"Yo, the Great Sage moves really fast." Qiu Wuji took the medicine and came back.

Ben Xianjun wiped the corners of his eyes and retreated from the monkey's arms.The monkey coughed lightly and said, "Look at his wound."

"Leave the rest to me." Qiu Wuji said, handing a large package of medicinal materials to the monkey, and said quite seriously: "For those who reduce the fire, take one dose a day, decoct three bowls of water to make one bowl, and take it evenly." Seven days. Come back in seven days, if you need to adjust medicine or something else, it depends on the situation."

Monkey answered, and said softly, "Thank you."

"You don't need to say thank you for what you're doing." Qiu Wuji said.Monkey took a step back.Qiu Wuji came to see my wound.

"The wound is white, it looks like it has been soaked in water for a long time. The wound that has scabbed can still be soaked in water, let alone you, which has not fully healed." Qiu Wuji felt helpless.He took out a thin piece of silver knife.The monkey held out a cluster of small flames.Qiu Wuji roasted the knife on the fire, said: "You have to deal with it first before applying the medicine, it might hurt a bit, bear with it."

Ben Xianjun: "..."

How Qiu Wuji "treated" the wound for this fairy, I don't want to recall, let alone go into details.

In short, the medicinal materials piled up like a hill in the prescription were yelled down by this fairy, and they were poured down.And the monkey's arm was also covered with fingernail marks by the fairy.

It hurt so much.

The most important thing is that the little drug boy came to remind me that the newly picked anesthetic had arrived until I finished my crime and rewrapped it with gauze.

Hehe, how early did you say that there is an anesthetic!

Um...yes, I am thin and generous, and I don't have the same knowledge as them.This fairy is not angry, not angry.

Hehe, how is it possible? !Ben Xianjun was so angry that he was on the way back, but he didn't say a word! ! !

When the monkey saw that the fairy had a gloomy face, he didn't bother himself, and stood quietly by the side, and sent me back to Xishan.

At that time, the sky was bright, and Zitong had already gotten up and started doing morning exercises, tidying up the two acres of land in front of the bamboo house.

Seeing that the fairy came back, Zitong ran over and said, "Your Majesty, where did you go last night? I couldn't see you when I got up this morning. I'm worried until now."

Ben Xianjun said: "I went to Yaoxian for a while. I don't want to talk now. If you can do the work in the field, you can do it. If you can't do it, you can let it go. Wait for me to go back to the house for a rest, and then talk about it later." .”

"You are not feeling well, then go and rest first. I can do all these tasks." Zitong said.

Ben Xianjun waved his hand, indicating to follow him, then dragged his tired body back to the house, and closed the door smoothly.

"Hey, Huan..." The monkey raised his legs and wanted to follow into the house, but his nose was almost pinched by the door.

Zitong giggled from behind, and said, "Great Sage, I think it's not easy for you to enter my Lord's door, haha."

The monkey turned around, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Tell me about the work in the field, and I'll see if I can do it."

Zitong said: "How powerful you are, I'm sure you can do it. Just hoe up the weeds and expose the saplings in the ground."

"..." Ben Xianjun leaned behind the door, listening to the conversation between the two of them, and thinking about the monkey's return to vulgarity, he felt a little unspeakable.

For the next few days, this immortal lord seldom went out on the grounds of recuperating his injuries.But I don't know how the news leaked out, every day there are a few fairy friends who take turns running to my house, carrying gifts and so on.

Ben Xianjun thought about it, so in the middle of the night that day, I appeared at Yaoxian's place with the monkey, and was seen by the fairy friends who went to see a doctor, and they knew that I had left Yaoxian's place and went home to recuperate.

I ordered Zitong to check every day, "Which fairy friend came" and "what did you bring?" In the future, when I recovered from my injury, I would visit them one by one and return the gifts.

Zitong was ordered to act, and he came to report to this fairy every night before turning off the lights, and did not forget to say: "Your Majesty, the Great Sage is still outside. The grass in the field has been cleared, the rapeseed has been sown, and the saplings It's been watered too, look... what to do with him?"

What to do with the monkey?Ben Xianjun also has a headache about this matter.

Seven days later, Zitong mentioned the matter to this fairy again.Ben Xianjun rubbed the tip of his eyebrows, sighed, and finally opened the door.

The monkey was catching insects on a small peach tree, when he heard the door open, he looked up.After seeing me, he put down the tools in his hand and slowly straightened up.Seeing me walking towards him, he smiled and shouted: "Hey, don't move, the ground has just been watered and your shoes are dirty. I'll go over there."

Ben Xianjun stood on the head of the field, waiting for him to come.

The unrivaled hero who used to wear golden armor and walk on the auspicious clouds, now rolled up his trousers and rolled up his sleeves, his pair of cloud boots were covered with yellow mud, and even his cheeks were covered with mud.But his smile seemed to be full of sunshine, which sprinkled into my eyes without warning.

When he approached, Ben Xianjun bent the corner of his mouth and said: "Great Sage, you can go. I know what you think these days. But, there is something... I think, I still have to tell you."

"What?" The monkey's smile froze a bit.

"It's not an important matter." Ben Xianjun smiled lightly: "It's just that, as early as 2000 years ago, on the day of the Dao Fa Conference, Xiaoxian asked the little monk Kongming to shave [-] hairs for me. You know, Xiaoxian is originally a tree demon. Those three thousand hairs are all my roots of love. Now that the roots of love are broken, I will never be emotional again. To you, or to other people..."

"..." This time, the monkey's smile completely disappeared. His face was dead silent, and he said softly after a long time: "I know... when you were unconscious, Qiu Wuji healed your wounds, and he saw that something was wrong, so he already told me... "

"!" Ben Xianjun was stunned, remembering that the monkey had uncontrollably held my shoulder and asked, "Are you really... leaving no, little, leeway?" It turned out that it was not my illusion at that time, he really already knew .

"Oh——" Withdrawing my mind, I smiled bitterly, and said: "Since you already know that I have no roots of love, I will not be emotional with you at all. These days, what is the use of you doing these things? Or, what you want It's a pair of skins, sentient or non-human, neither... um?!"

Before I could finish my words, the monkey suddenly lowered its head, pressed its cool and dry lips up, and blocked all my words back into its mouth.

"Hmm..." Ben Xianjun forgot to close his eyes, and met the monkey's eyes.He looked at me, his golden eyes reflected my eyes, and his figure was also in my slightly enlarged pure black pupils.

"Great, um, great sage..." Ben Xianjun managed to squeeze out a few words from between his lips, and stretched out his hand to push his shoulder, but the monkey grabbed his hand.

The monkey rubbed my fingers away, and forced me to press the palm of my hand to his heart with a bit of force, and deepened the kiss at the same time.

"Boom bang bang-"

Under the palm of this fairy, the heart that seemed to be about to jump out seemed to be helping the monkey to prove something.
