The Monkey King

In front of the empty house, the monkey stood alone.

Looking back at the house where Liu Yanchang was, he raised his legs and wanted to walk towards the house, but stopped again.

At this moment, he suddenly didn't know what to do and felt lost.

Ksitigarbha appears here, is it necessary to check Liu Yanchang's memory? Even if he saw something, how would he know if it was true or false?

Looking up at the sky and sighing lightly, the monkey looked confused.

He didn't understand why Ksitigarbha took action twice, but he knew that if Ksitigarbha could take action, his master would definitely be able to take action as well.

If Liu Yanchang's memory can be false, the memory of agarwood in the Three Stars Cave of the Setting Moon can also be false.

The final answer will only lie with Yang Chan.

Thinking of this, he suddenly laughed, a wry smile.

Whether it was Subhuti, Laojun, or Ksitigarbha, he didn't want to believe a word of what these individuals said. But at this moment, he couldn't help but believe Ksitigarbha's last words.

"Actually, everything may be false. Everything may be true. The key is what you believe and what you don't believe...otherwise, when you figure everything out clearly, your heart will But it’s no longer clear.”

Yes, going round and round, everything could be fake. Monkey doesn't want to believe that Chen Xiang is Yang Chan's child, but he can't help but think about it.

At this moment, the only thing that he would not waver in was his belief that Yang Chan would never lie to him.

That proud woman. Disdain to lie to yourself. As long as he walks in front of her, he will know the truth of everything.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of Huashan.

But, do I really want to see her at this time?

What was the first thing you said when you met her?

Ksitigarbha has taken action, which shows that it is no longer feasible to protect Yang Chan by avoiding him. As long as necessary. For a reason, Buddhism would not hesitate to involve her.

But...are you going to see her like this?

After more than 600 years of separation, Monkey thought very much and wanted to meet her. The first thing he said to her was: "I have solved all the problems and cut off everything that needs to be cut off. From now on. From now on, I will never leave again.”

But. If this moment passes. He could only ask her: "Who is Chenxiang's mother?"

He couldn't ask. At this time, he, a groom who ran away for another woman at the wedding, was not qualified to question anything.

In the small courtyard, the monkey stood blankly, looking in the direction of Huashan, hesitating.

A maple leaf fell silently from the branch.

…

Che Chiguo.

in the square. One after another, the monks fainted under the scorching sun. Every time someone fell, there was bound to be a commotion.

Falling down from heat stroke at this time is almost equivalent to death. This is already the consensus of everyone.

Gradually, the seeds of fear sprouted in the hearts of the monks.

Xuanzang saw all this.

"Can't you change some water?"

"Yes." Tianpeng replied without thinking: "But no matter how much you eat, you can't quench your hunger if you change the food, and naturally you can't quench your thirst if you change the water. In the end, it's just an illusion."

"so what should I do now?"

Canopy glanced at the rows of arrows in the distance and whispered: "The Great Sage is not here. If you want to save them, the only way is for us to take you and force a breakout. These people are obviously aiming at us. Come. If we are gone, they will have no value. In this way, although safety cannot be guaranteed, at least... it is a hope. "

Xuanzang was slightly startled.

He is young and has practiced martial arts, which makes him physically stronger than ordinary monks. but. It's just within the realm of mortals. At this moment, his condition is actually not much better.

If he also fell down due to heat stroke, Tianpeng would not hesitate to carry him on his back to break out of the encirclement. By then, there will definitely be rivers of blood flowing in this square again.

Looking at Xuanzang lightly, Tianpeng continued: "Of course, if we want to break through, casualties are inevitable. As for the matter of capturing the thief first, forget it. The real messenger has not shown up yet. Once we leave you around you. On the contrary, it may put you in danger."

Looking at the almost exhausted and hostile faces not far away, Xuanzang hesitated.

The way to universal salvation lies in saving all sentient beings from suffering. However, even if it is to save people, does he have the right to choose life or death for them?

With his head slightly lowered, Xuanzang sat motionless.

The sun sets.

When the monks were dying, several soldiers came over pushing a wooden cart filled with water.

Suddenly, the whole square was boiling.

The monks pushed each other, lying on the iron chains that were hot in the sun, and stretched out their hands towards the wooden cart.

"Give me water! Give me some saliva!"

"It's saved! It's saved!"

The clanking of chains spread across the square.

A pair of hungry and thirsty eyes were as big as copper bells.

Seeing the water stains sprinkled by the wooden cart along the way, the bearded general who had been standing outside was stunned for a moment.

Before he could take a step forward to stop him, a thin-faced general had already walked in front of him.

"This is the order of the Imperial Master."

The bearded man looked stunned: "Why?"

Na Wenjiang looked back at the boiling monks in the square and said: "How many days can we survive without food? If there is no water to drink...it will only last three or two days at most. These people are only useful if they are alive. If they die, Okay, can you stop those people?"

With that said, Na Wenjiang winked in the direction of Tianpeng and others.

The bearded man suddenly came to his senses and nodded repeatedly: "Then, does the Imperial Master have any other orders?"

"Wait." Wen Jiang took out his water bag, took a sip, and whispered: "When the key person dies, there will naturally be a flaw."

"I understand the humble position!"

…

Pairs of hands separated by chains. It stretched out like a nestling in a bird's nest waiting to be fed.

Pushing the wooden cart, several soldiers filled bamboo tubes with water and passed it inside, quickly triggering a rush of looting.

The monks soon discovered that each bamboo tube contained less than one-third of the water, which was not even enough for one person to quench his thirst. There were only hundreds of bamboo tubes on the cart. There are thousands of monks here, and the soldiers refused to refill the bamboo tubes with water...

Obviously, they don't want everyone to drink this little water.

At this time, the looting became more serious. In order to squeeze in a position, they even beat each other to a bloody head.

Amid the commotion, a young monk picked up the bamboo tube that had been knocked to the ground. He hurriedly ran to his unconscious master. Before he could unscrew it. A pair of big hands had already snatched the bamboo tube away from him.

"Why are you giving water to a man who is about to die?" The big man gave the little monk a vicious look and stretched out his hand to pull out the bamboo tube.

The little monk was so anxious that tears fell down his eyes, but he had nothing to do. He could only watch helplessly as the big man pulled out the cover of the bamboo tube and brought the mouth of the bamboo tube to his mouth.

At this moment, the roller blind suddenly pushed the big man hard from behind and knocked him to the ground. The bamboo tube that came out of the hand was firmly caught by the roller blind.

Immediately afterwards, the roller blind reached out and sucked it in, and all the spilled water was sucked back into the bamboo tube.

"What do you want to do?" The big man hurriedly climbed up from the ground and looked at the rolling curtain in horror.

The roller blind closed the lid of the bamboo tube without saying a word, and handed it to Xuanzang behind him, who then handed it to the young monk.

From the beginning to the end, Roller didn't even look at the big man.

After a short stalemate, the big man finally didn't dare to fight with the roller shutter and continued to fight for the limited water.

The turmoil all around remains the same.

The little monk held the bamboo tube and looked at Xuanzang eagerly, and said cautiously: "Master... do you want me to share some with you?"

"No need." Xuanzang shook his head slowly.

at this time. The roller blind had already squeezed into the crowd of monks, and followed the example of other monks and stretched out its hand towards the soldiers who were dividing the water.

As expected, the soldier skillfully avoided the rolling shutter.

Looking back at Xuanzang, Roller Blind shook his head helplessly, and quickly ran over to hug the little monk.

For a moment, the unprepared little monk was frightened. That mouth is wide enough to fit an orange in.

"If they don't give me water, I will take you in. You take the water and I will protect you."

Holding the little monk in his arms, he quickly pushed aside the monks blocking his way with the roller blind. After a few back and forth, he actually got nearly ten bamboo tubes of water.

Looking at the bamboo tubes piled up next to Xuanzang, the monks' eyes turned red. If there wasn't a canopy watching from the side, and they had seen the strength of the canopy, they might have pounced on it and grabbed it.

"Third Prince?"

"What?"

"Gather a few people who have suffered from heatstroke and have no one to take care of them."

Xiao Bailong frowned and thought for a while, then stood up lazily.

Not long after, a dozen monks who had long been unconscious were placed next to Xuanzang, together with the young monk's master.

By this time, the water had run out and the commotion had ended. However, for the monks, the crisis had not been resolved.

Although a total of seven to eight hundred bamboo tubes were distributed, less than three hundred people actually drank water.

In the square, on one side were monks gathered together. All their eyes were fixed on the dozen bamboo tubes snatched by the roller blinds, and they were swallowing dryly. On the other side, there were a few monks lying sparsely, as well as Xuanzang and others.

Not long after, Xuanzang began to give water to the monks who had suffered from heatstroke and had no one to care for them.

Without thinking, Xiao Bailong snatched a bamboo tube and gave it to Miao Jie, but Miao Jie did not drink it, but put it aside.

Soon, the remaining water was exhausted. Xuanzang had given water to all the monks, but no one woke up.

Canopy on the side said leisurely: "I have encountered this kind of thing before before I took office in heaven. It's useless for you to do this. I'm afraid they won't even be able to survive tomorrow. You should keep the water for yourself. For sober people.”

Xuanzang sat blankly, staring at the monk lying in front of him, listening to the low murmurs coming from the opposite side.

Compared with before, it was no longer just hunger and thirst. Due to the previous commotion, even if the monks in the square drank water, they were more or less injured. Some of them are already dying.

After a long time, Xuanzang said: "The poor monk has always believed that human life is neither high nor low, and the pros and cons cannot be weighed. The lives of the poor monk, the lives of other people, and the lives of all living beings in the three realms are not interchangeable like beads on an abacus. . However, if the life of the poor monk can be exchanged for the lives of everyone, the poor monk feels that it is not a loss."

Canopy frowned and looked at him.

After a slight pause, Xuanzang continued: "What the Great Sage is doing is very important to him. It is not convenient for Xuanzang to ask him for help at this time. Even if he is called back this time, the matter has not been done. After that, he has to go again. By then, the other party will definitely come again, but it will only harm more people... But breaking out is definitely not feasible. If we break out from here, then they may really be because they are not with us. Together, there is no longer danger. But it is more likely that he will be executed. So... let's try to find the main messenger. Wait until it gets darker before taking action. Even if there is danger, we must give it a try. After all, we can no longer No more waiting." (To be continued~^~)
