The Monkey King: Chapter 698 :hesitate
In the thick circle, the monkey opened his eyes slightly and looked at Yang Chan.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Chan, everyone held their breath, even the six-eared macaque was secretly watching Yang Chan from the corner of their eyes.
However, Yang Chan just covered her face and stood quietly, sobbing, unable to calm down for a long time. No one could see her expression clearly.
The hand covering her face is the last line of defense for this stubborn woman at this moment.
The monkey clutched the golden cudgel tightly and gasped heavily.
In the silence of this world, time passed bit by bit. Everyone is waiting anxiously.
…
In the courtyard of Xieyue Sanxingdong, Qingxin and Xuanzang are sitting in front of the stone table.
The wind blew gently, swaying the tree shadows that fell on Qing Xin. She sat motionless, her long hair hanging down slightly, covering her face.
Opposite the stone table, Xuanzang lowered his head and sipped his tea silently, looking at Qingxin from time to time.
Everything seemed to stand still. Under the sun, everything around is so warm, but there is a powerlessness that penetrates into my heart. Makes people not have the courage to face it.
She suddenly remembered that day more than 600 years ago.
On that day, she faced the exact same decision as today. With tears in her eyes, she persuaded the monkey to pick up Yang Chan. Then he mustered up his courage and faced his fate alone with a smile.
It was the bravest decision in the life of a weak, insignificant girl. However, in the end, it just started a catastrophe that affected the Three Realms.
In this life, she wants to escape, she wants to end everything here. However, when he opened his arms against himself... Unfortunately, everything was nothing but a bubble.
She is no longer so weak in this life, she is even a little domineering, but... She suddenly found out that she was still her, the past life and this life, never changed.
In the warm sunshine. The short-lived happiness slipped away from the fingers like quicksand.
What left behind is still the nightmare of those three worlds.
In silence. The heart is withering little by little.
…
On the platform, Subhuti was alone and quietly listening to the wind in the Three Realms.
behind him, in front of the tea tray. The old gentleman is sipping tea silently.
One has a solemn expression, the other has a leisurely expression.
…
In the Miluo Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Master silently looked at each other without saying a word.
…
In Daleiyin Temple, all the Arhats stretched their necks and waited quietly, looking at each other.
…
A breeze passed by, stroking the fallen leaves, bending the wormwood, and even the formation of the battleship in the sky slowly loosened.
It was a long wait. In the silence, a commotion was quietly happening.
"Are you okay?" Taking a step forward, the monkey stretched out a hand from a distance: "Promise me, come back with me?"
The hand outstretched towards her hung far in the air.
However, Yang Chan just covered her face tightly.
It has been eight hundred years, and she has spent eight hundred years of waiting. It all started long before the monkey ascended to heaven as an official.
800 years of time, waiting hard, isn't that what we said today?
She already got it. She really defeated the originally invincible "enemy", but...
…
In front of the stone table, Qing Xin lowered his head and held the cup with only a little tea stain left in his hands. Sitting motionless.
"The six-eared macaque held hostage Yang Chan's donor. The great sage lost his sense of proportion." Xuanzang sighed softly and said, "According to the poor monk, even if this trip is successful, it will only be a disaster in the future. That's it."
Qingxin blinked blankly, staring at the empty teacup in his hand, fascinated. In those slightly widened eyes. Under the swaying shadows of the trees, it sparkled like a lake under the moonlight.
"How did the great sage lose that day, can a pure heart know?" Taking a deep breath, Xuanzang closed his eyes, and said leisurely: "The war between the great masters, in the end, is the battle of the heart. The great sage Force is tyrannical, but unfortunately...he is incomparable with the great powers who have lived for tens of thousands of years. Because of the importance of friendship, he can become the all-powerful Monkey King. But, it is also because of the importance of friendship, he will be suppressed in the five elements Yamashita. That is his biggest weakness. In such a situation, his weakness is undoubtedly revealed, how can he gain the upper hand in the game?"
Qingxin smiled slowly, and a tear ran down his cheek.
"Yeah... how could he possibly win? Actually, it's all my fault. If it wasn't for me, no one could control him. He... wouldn't be used by the Tathagata. From the beginning, it was a mistake... all my fault, no Keep reciting the mantra. Otherwise, everything will not be what it is today."
…
Looking up at the sky, the old gentleman stroked his long beard and sighed lightly: "You know, why did the old man take the word 'pure heart' for that girl's Dao name?"
In the breeze, Subhuti slowly turned his head and stared at Laojun, but did not speak.
"What is taken is the 'pure heart' in 'pure heart and few desires'." Pressing his lips, Lao Jun slowly closed his eyes and sighed softly: "We are playing a game, so girl, isn't it a game? It's just that we What she wins is the Three Realms, and what she wins is her own happiness. Unfortunately, she is destined to lose in this game. After three generations, although her personality has been completely different, her essence has not changed. She did not lose to Yang Chan, Instead, she lost to... that monkey. From the very beginning, from the moment she gave everything she had, she was already at a disadvantage, and after 800 years, she couldn't break free."
said, Lao Jun opened his eyes, and his eyes slowly moved towards Subhuti. At the moment of eye contact, Subhuti avoided it.
Laojun laughed helplessly: "Over six hundred years ago, it was a dead end. With her character, there is absolutely no possibility of escape. I just hope that today, she can come out..."
Subhuti narrowed his eyes slightly, still standing still, looking into the distance.
…
In the surrounding circle, he slowly raised the white boots, and under everyone's attention, Yang Chan finally took a step back hesitantly.
Monkey widened his eyes blankly.
Putting down her hands, Yang Chan looked at the monkey with her red, hazy eyes.
"Sorry, I can't go back with you."
"why?"
"In short, no." Yang Chan smiled slowly, with a smile that was never before comfortable.
That is a smile from the heart.
"Thank you..." A voice sounded in the monkey's mind: "I'm content. But, I won't go back with you. Because, we still have a long way to go. If this is fate, then, Let's face it together and walk this road together."
Gently pushed aside the six-eared macaque's sharp knife, she whispered to the six-eared macaque: "He won't go, let's go."
"Okay...Okay!" The six-eared macaque nodded dumbly, then looked back at the monkey with a hint of provocation.
The demon generals behind quickly gave way.
With the six-eared macaque and a group of demon generals, Yang Chan left step by step. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the sight of the monkey.
The encirclement above and below was also slowly lifted that day, and the army slowly shrank and retreated like a receding tide. The whole world seemed to be moving away from him.
Among the ruins, only the monkey was left standing blankly, looking at the direction where Yang Chan disappeared.
…
In the Xieyue Sanxing Cave, a Taoist hurried into the courtyard.
"Master Wukong, he..." Before the Taoist finished speaking, he suddenly realized that another Taoist was already there.
took a deep breath, and the other Taoist sighed softly, "I've already… reported it."
A drop of tears hit the back of Qingxin's hand.
On the other side, Xuanzang was shocked and quickly shut his mouth.
After a while, Qingxin slowly raised his head and said, "Send Master Xuanzang back..."
"Many...Thank you for your understanding."
"No." Looking at Xuanzang, he said indifferently: "I mean to send you to the temporary residence in Guanli. Unless he comes to pick you up, you are not allowed to go anywhere."
"what?"
Before Xuanzang could react, one of the Taoist disciples on the side had already bowed his hands, and then made a "please" gesture towards Xuanzang.
When looked at Qingxin again, Xuanzang suddenly found that Qingxin frowned slightly, but there was already nothing in those eyes.
In desperation, he had to shake his sleeves, got up and left with the Taoist.
"You go down too."
Hearing the words, the remaining Taoist disciple was slightly taken aback for a moment, so he had to bow slightly, and quietly exited the courtyard.
In the small courtyard, only Qing Xin and Chen Xiang, who had been standing there, were left.
…
"Hey, I didn't expect you to choose me. To be honest, I was a little surprised." The six-eared macaque hummed and said, "Don't worry, I will listen to you in the future, tomorrow... no, now, now we will move the capital Huaguo Mountain! I want to be upright and take back my position as the Great Sage Monkey King!"
Yang Chan walked forward step by step without looking sideways.
"The road will be long, bitter and dangerous."
"What are you afraid of, he can, I'm sure I can too!"
"You have to go to war with many, many people, including the Western Tathagata, and the Ksitigarbha King who resurrected you. You have to be mentally prepared."
"Buddhist is just a bunch of bald donkeys who only play tricks, and only he will be defeated by them. Hahahaha, if you help me, who are they?"
The six-eared macaque gestured happily.
From beginning to end, Yang Chan just smiled sweetly, but there was nothing in his eyes.
…
In the blink of an eye, there was not a single monster in the surrounding area.
Monkey stood alone.
After a long time, he turned around and flew into the air, swept away into the distance.
…
"Master, why are you crying?" Chen Xiang, who was beside him, carefully took out a handkerchief and handed it over with both hands: "That monkey... Did he do something to make Master unhappy again?"
However, Qing Xin did not pick it up. She turned her face, reached out and hugged Chen Xiang into her arms, smiled and said, "It's the master's own fault, not his business." (~^~)
