[Journey to the West] Those things about me and Master

When Fu Yiri said that the fish monster was not a river demon but a river god, everyone looked different.

Zhu Wuneng was the first to react and shook his head, "How is it possible, how can there be a god who wants to kill people? See how he looks like, the problem is not with monsters!"

The fish monster's body was not too ugly, his face was like jade, his nose was straight and his lips were thin, and he looked like Mr. Pianpianjia.It's just that there are some fish fin scales on the side of his face next to his ears, and he looks half-monster and half-human, but it looks neither fish nor fowl.

That Fuyi Ri didn't explain the reason, but just mumbled, "I remember we had a portrait of this man in our house, offering incense and prostrating day and night... My parents said that he is the river god of our tribe, who guarded us." The village has been around for hundreds of years..."

Sun Wukong glanced at the fish monster, folded his arms and said, "Hey, what's your name?"

The fish monster lost so much blood that it was difficult to move, and almost only had the strength to glance and answer.He glanced at Sun Wukong, his eyes were deep and emotionless, and after a glance, he silently turned his eyes away without answering.

Sun Wukong clicked his tongue, this person is so arrogant after being defeated, isn't he afraid of angering them?

But it's still a little... His temper back then.

Sun Wukong swam over, picked up the man's collar, half-choked his neck and said, "The sudden ice breaking and freezing of the river is your fault, right? Melt the ice soon, or be careful of your life." "

The fish monster coughed and laughed palely at himself, "If I don't do it, you will be silenced, but if I do, you will be silenced as well?"

Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows and gave him a strange look, but before he could answer, Tang Sanzang put his hands together and interjected, "Amitabha, the purpose of our journey to defeat demons is not to take their lives, but to teach them To be kind, to dispel the turbid qi. This is the true meaning of 'subduing demons and eliminating demons'." He paused, "If the benefactor is willing to put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately, he will no longer be an evil demon, and we don't need to dance Knives and guns are coming to get rid of you."

After the fish monster heard it, his body trembled for some reason, his eyes were bloodshot and demon red, it seemed that he had been greatly stimulated.

"Heh... Xiangshan? Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha right away? You keep teaching people to be good, but I'm afraid it's just to teach people to be Buddha?" Here, believing in the Buddha is good, and not believing in the Buddha is not good? It sounds kind, but in the end it's just the principle of 'people who are not of my race must have different minds'!"

After hearing this, Tang Sanzang's expression sank but he didn't get angry.

On the other hand, Sun Wukong, with his lips parted slightly, his face dazed, looked at the fish monster with a more inquisitive expression.

"The sea of ​​bitterness is boundless, turning back is the shore." Tang Sanzang turned towards the turbulent, endless, gloomy and gloomy river, standing with his hands behind his back like a bright moon in the darkness, and said in a low but powerful voice, "Buddhism teaches people to look back, to let go, But never forced. Whether the sea of ​​suffering goes or goes, whether the butcher's knife is raised or lowered, it all depends on your own choice. Buddha... was never forced out."

They do good deeds in order to make people become Buddhas themselves, not to force people to become Buddhas.

To put it nicely, you can persuade as much as you can, but to put it bluntly, the Buddha is here, and it is up to you whether you like it or not.

Tang Sanzang waved his sleeves, shook his head and said in a cold voice, "Wukong, take him up."

Sun Wukong nodded in response, turned around and looked at the fish monster who was as silent as a stone, picked him up and went upstream with a splash, with a few kicks, he cut through the lingering water and reached under the ice.

He took out the golden cudgel from behind his ear and tried to tap it, but the ice surface was as solid as a rock, and it was very thick.

He turned his head and poked the fish monster's waist with a stick, "Hey, you open this ice layer."

The fish monster trembled, raised its head and glared at him slightly annoyed, then turned its head away after humming softly, pretending to ignore it.

Sun Wukong opened his eyes wide, he thought he might know why so many people said he was begging for beating.

"I know you might not be afraid of death." He thought for a while, took it into consideration, squinted his eyes and smiled, "But seeing how disgusted you are with Buddha, believe it or not, after we went out, we spread everywhere that the big-headed fish monster in Tongtian River is a Buddhist. Reading Buddhist scriptures day and night, what you say and what you say are all Buddhist principles?"

It sounded like nothing, but the fish monster suddenly kicked and struggled, looking very excited.

He looked at Sun Wukong, gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "You are too Yin, you don't look like a Buddhist family at all!"

Sun Wukong didn't care.He glanced at Tang Sanzang over there, and said lightly, "Compared to someone, it's still good."

In fact, he never regarded himself as a disciple of Buddhism, and he didn't want to be bound by those clear rules and regulations.

But that person wanted him to take refuge, so he acted like he was taking refuge.

After all, what he did all this way was to protect that person to learn from the scriptures and let go of his obsessions.At that time, the merits and virtues will be accomplished, and perhaps it will be the time for the two of them to part ways.

Each walks its own Yangguan road, each crosses its own single-plank bridge.He became his Buddha, and he lived his happy life.

Sun Wukong lowered his eyes and didn't think any more.

Many times fate plays tricks on people.Now they are just taking one step at a time.

"...how, can you melt the ice?"

He took a deep breath, raised his eyebrows and looked at the fish monster.

The fish monster bit its lip, its eyes seemed to be able to spew fire. "I'll melt, can't I melt!"

Anyway, it was a dead end between left and right, and the protection of this glacier was useless.It also saves those monks from preaching everywhere and ruining his reputation!

I saw the fish monster reaching out to touch the bottom of the ice bitterly, chanting formulas in his mouth, his expression tightened after his eyes changed, and he shouted loudly with all his strength.And the light beam in the palm also penetrated into the ice in an instant and shattered from the inside, melting and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Underneath, Zhu Wuneng's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Oh, the ice is broken, hurry up, hurry up!" He pulled Fu Yiri's hands and feet and paddled up the ground. After surfacing, he took a deep breath of fresh air and sighed. , "I can finally come out of that wretched place. I've been stuck in the dark below. Old Zhu, my beauty in this age is really useless!"

After hearing this, Sun Wukong rolled his eyes up, raised his hand and gave him a chestnut, "It's broad daylight, so you're not afraid of lightning strikes if you talk big?"

Zhu Wuneng paused, and then, as if playing a prank, he squeezed his throat and gave him a winking smile, "Brother, isn't what I said the truth~"

Sun Wukong brushed the goosebumps all over his body, shook his head and ignored him, and swam to the opposite bank with the fish monster on his shoulder.

Seeing that the ice had melted, the white dragon horse on the other side turned into a real body and swam over with splashes.

After everyone arrived at the shore, the sky was almost dusk, and the light was smudged.

At this time, Fu Yiri was looking for traces of returning to the village on the river beach, and Monkey King patted the face of the extremely weak fish monster, "Hey, don't faint, we still have something to ask you."

The fish monster stared at him weakly, "Isn't it because of you that I became what I am now?"

Zhu Wuneng packed his luggage and sneered, "Then you hurt us first? But speaking of it..." He looked at the man hesitantly, "Why did you kill us?"

The fish monster's eyes fell on Tang Sanzang, and turned away quickly.

"Naturally for the immortal meat."

"this one?"

Sun Wukong frowned as if in disbelief.

The fish monster choked back coolly, "Could it be that I was caught and sent to death just to be caught by you?"

Zhu Wuneng shook his head and sighed, "Look at you, you are so eloquent, you really have the demeanor of a big brother back then."

After all, he seemed to think of something, shook his head and smiled lowly.

"But... after all, there are still some differences..."

His voice was low, and the last sentence was almost a mutter that only he could hear.

Unexpectedly, Tang Sanzang had pointed ears, his eyelids jumped and he turned his head to stare at him, "...you knew each other back then?"

"It's more than just acquaintance." Zhu Wuneng raised his eyebrows and winked with evil intentions, "Back then, Senior Brother and I were so good that we hooked each other up!"

Tang Sanzang took a deep breath and didn't speak again.

He knew little about Sun Wukong's past, only that he had troubled the East China Sea, the Underworld, and the Heavenly Palace, and he was an extremely unruly master.

Unexpectedly, his apprentices... turned out to be acquainted with each other by Qian Chen.

At this moment, Fu Yiri on the river beach suddenly yelled loudly and kept raising his hands, "I found it, I found it, come and see!"

Everyone looked at each other and walked over one after another.

"Look at the sky, is that the moon?"

Bie Yiri pointed at the sunset sky filled with rays of light, his expression faintly excited, "Our tribe is called Luoyue, which means when the moon sets. It's not dark yet, but you see the moon is faint, it looks like Did it just land on the top of the mountain?"

Tang Sanzang squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. The moon in the half-yellow and half-dark sky was as faint as a veil, but looking dimly, it really happened to fall on the high mountain one or two miles away from them.

Bie Yiri held his breath, "That's it...follow the direction of the moon hanging on the mountain, and that's our village..."

As he spoke, he walked in that direction almost like a madman.

Sun Wukong glanced at that place, his expression moved slightly, he picked up the fish monster and followed.

On the road.

"Hey, what's your name?"

"..."

The fish monster, who was injured and cast a spell, was bumped halfway and was nearly half dead, and remained silent.Finally, he spoke out very concisely.

"I don't have a name."

Monkey King was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that it was because of this that the monster was reluctant to say his name.

"Then what is your real body?"

The fish monster was silent for a while, "...goldfish."

Hearing this, Zhu Wuneng, who was walking side by side with them, burst out laughing, "Goldfish?! No way, it's the first time I've seen a goldfish as big as a mountain that's as gray as you!"

The fish monster was annoyed, and raised his brows, "Every monster has its own aspirations, so why don't I be allowed to act independently?"

"You have aspirations." The taciturn Sha Wujing actually agreed at this time, and nodded, "Your enlightenment is extraordinary, but in fact, you don't need to make a living by harming others."

The fish monster's face was pale but he still had an unruly expression. He said disdainfully, "I just like to hurt people, can't I?"

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect this monster to be so hostile. Killing people just for the sake of killing people seemed to have deep hatred.

"That big-headed fish, Fu Yiri said you are their river god, what's going on?"

Sun Wukong has a keen intuition, and vaguely feels that the river is frozen for thousands of miles, the monsters are stirring up trouble, and the tribe's whereabouts are gradually disappearing. There must be some unknown relationship.

When the fish monster heard the name "Bighead Fish", its bland eyebrows frowned suddenly.It's just that now, as a defeated general, he no longer has any prestige to show.He pursed his mouth and looked up, and glanced at Fu Yiri who was walking in front of them, "I thought this kid was full of aura from the beginning, and he was very familiar, but I didn't expect that he was really a member of the Luoyue tribe."

Tang Sanzang over there seemed to have thought of something when he heard this, and his expression gradually became serious.

"A few years ago, in order to escape being hunted, I went down to find a hiding place, ahem..." The fish monster couldn't help coughing a few times because it was uncomfortable being carried, "Can't you walk more steadily?"

"Then you find someone else to carry it, I still feel sore."

Unexpectedly, Tang Sanzang turned his head at this time, stretched out his hand and said, "Why don't you let me do it."

Before the fish monster could answer, Monkey King shook his head and puffed his cheeks and shouted, "No!"

"Oh?"

Tang Sanzang stared at him and smiled.

"...Master, you are weak, forget it." Sun Wukong didn't dare to look at him, turned his eyes and answered in a low voice.

"Who told you that I was weak?" Tang Sanzang didn't expect that he was so weak in the eyes of that person, it seemed that it was time to revive his teacher style.He raised his eyebrows, "I am not stronger than monsters, but I am also one of the few among mortals."

After all, he took the fish monster from Sun Wukong's shoulder, and using some kind of spell, he made the monster smaller in a blink of an eye, and then hid it in the pouch on his waist. "Even if the body is weak, a teacher at least knows how to outsmart, not just rely on brute force."

Monkey King was dumb, twisted his neck and didn't speak.

He didn't tell Tang Sanzang that in this world, there are only wily people who don't have fist skills, and in fact, they can never survive.

I saw the shrunken fish monster crawling out of Tang Sanzang's bag, looking at the world in front of him that had suddenly grown hundreds of times, with a strange expression on his face.

He faintly saw some outlines of the tribe not far away, remembered what he had just said, patted his head and continued.

"What did I just say? Yes, later I found Tongtianhe and chased away the old river god. Zhanshan said that the king had a very happy life. It's just that the happy days didn't last long, and annoying things happened. On both sides of the river, there are often two tribes fighting for the water source. What a joke, my river can be taken by them? Washing clothes, soaking feet and playing couple baths every day, do I want to live this peaceful life?" When the fish monster said this, his right eyebrow raised, and he looked annoyed, "Fortunately, I froze the river, first to block the breath so that no one would find out, and second, to save those two tribes from calling me." It made my ears ringing. Later, a tribe finally left. I thought I could finally rest for a while, but I didn’t expect..."

He shook his head, gritted his teeth, "Who would have thought that the rest of the tribe would not give up my water source, but just stayed where they wanted to break the ice of this river, and there was a lot of noise every day! Until the end , I was so angry that I simply resorted to a trick."

"I said, I am the river god, do I want to drink water? Bring up the boys and girls in your village, and I will give you water to drink, and I will keep you immortal."

The fish monster glanced at Tang Sanzang, who was frowning, his eyes were so cold that they shrank into his heart, "Guess what?"

He sneered and smiled, the madness that relieved hatred faintly in his eyes.

"It turns out that someone actually dedicated their child to me, just for the sake of drinking the water of immortality!"

The author has something to say: It is finally time to unlock the plot of Tongtianhe Luoyue Department, and then it is time for the author to open his mind hhh!

The fate of big-headed fish is actually very tragic, but I always believe that people choose their fate, not fate chooses people.

It's the path he wants to take.

Well, leave a little suspense, and I will talk about it next.
