Talking about chatting, in fact, most of it was Chu Zhen talking about his days as the marshal of the canopy when he was in the heaven, talking about the experience of this body before meeting Monkey King, but the one who talked the most... was him in the sky. More than 20 years of modern life, especially those thrilling and challenging tasks.

Chu Zhen's voice is very pleasant to hear, and when she narrates it, she has a magical power that seems to be able to pierce people's hearts.Sun Wukong listened very carefully, his junior brother talked about the past that he had never participated in, and he didn't want to miss every detail.

The two of them just lay side by side, holding the back of their heads with their hands clasped, looking at the slowly floating clouds in the sky.The surrounding orchids have long since disappeared, replaced by a large expanse of lush green grass.

Although they are in the scroll now, they are not in the illusion.

Perhaps it can no longer be called a scroll, but should be called a time axis artifact.

The artifact of the time axis is an artifact left over from ancient times. It is hidden in the cracks in the heavens and has a very high spirituality. Once the owner is recognized, it will grow with the growth of the owner and die with the death of the owner.The time axis artifact can create different illusions, but what is even more powerful is that it has the ability to travel through time and space.

As the owner of the time axis artifact, Chu Zhen also got it by chance when he was the Marshal of the Canopy. 2000 years ago, there was a strong vibration in the southwest direction of the heaven, and that position was the one connecting with Tianhe. As the marshal of Tianhe, the Jade Emperor sent him to check the situation, and there was a follow-up that he was recognized as the master of the Time Axis Artifact.This may be the so-called chance.

At that time, out of selfishness, he did not report the time axis artifact to the Jade Emperor, but made up another reasonable reason.But he didn't expect that what he thought was just an artifact that could create illusions at the beginning would actually help him so much later on.Not only did he silently transmit his soul to modern times to be born as a newborn, but he also completely stored his memory.

After recovering the complete memory, the questions that once surrounded his mind had reasonable answers. Chu Zhen only felt that the whole person seemed to relax a lot, although the recovery of the memory also meant that there were some things he had to do. To make a closure.

In the game between Taoism and Buddhism, there must be chess pieces.However, this is different from a real battle. This game is not very bloody, and it is full of freedom of change, because no matter which faction it is, the chess pieces are given enough room to play.Except for the necessary intervention before the start of the game, or in other words, the preparation work, once the path of learning the scriptures begins, no matter what happens in the process, neither faction can interfere in any way with the development of the matter.

And the official start of this game is when all the members of the learning team get together.

Is it one foot tall?Or is the Buddha taller?

This is a game between Taoism and Buddhism, and it can also be regarded as a game between Tathagata and Jade Emperor.

Originally, Taoism and Buddhism formed a stable situation of mutual checks and balances in the heavens, but later the status of Buddhism faintly surpassed that of Taoism.This naturally caused dissatisfaction with the Jade Emperor, the supreme leader of the Taoist faction, because the balance had been broken, which meant that if he did not take some measures, the status of Buddhism would seriously threaten Taoism.

The layout of the Jade Emperor and the acquiescence of the Tathagata created the so-called game between Taoism and Buddha.

Behind the Tang monk is the sect of Buddhism, and the three disciples belong to the sect of Taoism.As long as Tang Seng leads them to successfully obtain the scriptures, Buddhism will win this game, which shows that the Buddha can influence the Tao, and after many hardships can sharpen the mind and convert the Tao to the Buddha's heart.On the contrary, Taoism wins. From the very beginning, practitioners of the Tao also cultivate their minds. The Dharma and Zen are not stable enough to change the Tao.

About this game, about this point, Chu Zhen understands.Sun Wukong is equally clear.

Because what happened in the time axis artifact will never be known to the outside world, the two expressed their thoughts to each other without any hesitation.

He and Monkey King, including Sha Wujing and Tang Seng, are all chosen pawns.The difference is that he and Monkey King were actually chosen outside the plan.

"So you were demoted to the mortal world as a pawn in the game because you molested the woman the Jade Emperor liked, and to prevent you from making trouble." Sun Wukong concluded calmly, and he turned his head slightly to Chu Zhen: " Sure enough, even though there is no memory of being in the heavens, the fact that the nature is romantic has not changed at all."

"I was drinking too much at that time." Chu Zhen corrected.

"Then Chang'e is indeed a beauty, but I just sang a song to her at that time." Speaking of this, Chu Zhen suddenly smiled, and said indifferently: "Actually, I guess the Jade Emperor secretly couldn't see it for a long time." Blame me for talking and laughing with beautiful girls in the heavenly world, stealing his limelight."

After all, at that time, I, who was handsome and in charge of one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, was much better than the old-fashioned Jade Emperor who was stared at by the Queen Mother.

It is also because of this that he is very popular with women in the heavenly realm, and every time there is a banquet in the heavenly court, he is always the one who receives the most attention from the fairies.This also seriously affected the self-esteem of the Jade Emperor as the highest ruler in the heavens, nothing else, just referring to the charm of the man himself.

Therefore, at the stage when the relationship between Taoism and Buddhism was the most tense, the Jade Emperor took advantage of his drunken molestation of Chang'e, and without hesitation demoted him to the mortal world as a pawn in the game between Taoism and Buddhism.Of course, in name, at least in front of him, before being demoted to the mortal world, the Jade Emperor expressed his trust in him and his great expectations for being qualified for this task, and at the same time, it was appropriate to temporarily send him, the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Court, away. reluctance.

And his task is actually very simple, that is, as Tang Seng's apprentice, he will integrate into the sutra-pilgrimage group with a lazy, lustful image, and become an invisible resistance to the sutra-pilgrimage in the Western Paradise.

As for whether he can perfectly interpret this image, for the Jade Emperor, there is no need to worry at all.Because from the very beginning, the Jade Emperor planned to let him become a pig fetus, and only left behind the hollow memory of him being the Marshal of the Canopy and being demoted to the mortal world for molesting Fairy Chang'e.Of course, all of this must be done without his knowledge.

Dedicated to being a pig fetus, the body becomes a pig.

What is the nature of pigs?It's nothing more than delicious and lazy.

Even if his nature is not like this, when there is only a part of empty memory left, he will be easily affected by it, and in the end he will become a complete pawn.

This is what the Taoist side calls... the preparations before the game.

As for the Buddhist side, it is to enlighten the members of the Buddhist scriptures group, whether it is emotionally moved by words, or restrained by some tools such as tight hoops.

Leaving aside Buddhism, the Jade Emperor's abacus was indeed sound.He was sure that Chu Zhen would definitely accept this task, because of the so-called benefits he promised, because one of them was a king and the other was a minister, and the minister should obey the king's orders.It was even more because they practiced Taoism and belonged to Taoism. As one of them, he had no reason to refuse among the Taoists in the Heavenly Court.

Because in the eyes of these immortals who stubbornly adhere to Taoism, it is a great honor to sacrifice necessary for the prevalence and development of Taoism.

No matter what kind of image these Taoist immortals face the world, they are unsurprisingly the most devout defenders of the Taoism they practice.Just like the existence of faith, they stubbornly defend, stick to and maintain, so that they have their own personality charm worthy of the respect of the world.

In order to continue to maintain the balance between Taoism and Buddhism, temporary sacrifices are necessary.

In fact, Chu Zhen would never become a pawn in the game because of his important position in charge of one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals.

As a result, when the Jade Emperor had already harbored a grudge against him, he happened to 'molest' Chang'e Fairy, whom the Jade Emperor Xiao had wanted for a long time, because of drinking at a critical moment.

This undoubtedly hit the Jade Emperor's muzzle!

"Because of plotting against Chang'e, he was demoted to the mortal world because of his evil intentions." This kind of reason is natural.And it's a ready-made reason, and there is no need to deliberately create some disasters like the other people selected by the Jade Emperor to have a 'justifiable' reason.

And the chess pieces chosen by the Jade Emperor included his junior brother Sha Wujing.

If he was the chess piece chosen by the Jade Emperor by accident, then Sha Wujing was the chess piece chosen by the Jade Emperor after careful consideration, and he was selected according to the Tathagata's criteria for selecting and employing people.

Sha Wujing has always been loyal in his work in the heaven, never lazy or selfish, and he is absolutely loyal to the Jade Emperor.So the Jade Emperor chose him, and he didn't need to erase Sha Wujing's memory like he did with Chu Zhen.

Sha Wujing, as the pawn selected by the Jade Emperor after deliberation, was ordered by the Jade Emperor to destroy it if he was not selected by Tathagata to learn from the Buddhist scriptures.This is why Tang Seng's first nine lives were eaten by Sha Wujing when he passed the Liusha River.

However, what the Jade Emperor didn't expect was that Tang Seng passed the Liusha River in the tenth life. Although Sha Wujing had successfully become a member of the sutra learning team, his mind had completely changed. The most thorough one.

The Jade Emperor arranged Sha Wujing as a pawn according to Tathagata's criteria for selecting and employing people, and let him become a member of the scripture learning team to destroy along the way.However, Tathagata also has his own thinking.

Sha Wujing ate the skulls of nine Buddhist scriptures, a "nine" and a "jing", together, it means "long classics".

Nine Classics, Long Classics———

Tried and tested.

Sha Wujing's human nature needs to be tested for a long time before he can finally cultivate himself to be free from outside influence.Tang Seng is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, and he himself is a good disciple who converted to Buddhism physically and mentally, and his Zen heart has penetrated into the bone marrow.And Sha Wujing ate Tang Seng's first nine lives, one life after another, and each life would be influenced a little by Tang Seng's flesh and blood.Until the ninth world, after a long time of hardships, it was also ninety-nine return to one.

This is Tathagata's thinking.

So in the tenth life, which is now, Sha Wujing is completely honest, kind and sincere.

But at this time, Tang Seng accepted Sha Wujing as his apprentice, and the Buddhist scripture team was assembled except for the white dragon horse. Even if the Jade Emperor found that Sha Wujing's temperament had changed, he could no longer interfere.

The same is true of Chu Zhen.

At the beginning, he used the time axis artifact to divide the soul and body into two, and put the soul into modern times.Because the soul plays an absolute leading role, as long as his soul is not cast into a pig fetus along with his body, his consciousness will not be completely assimilated.

And when his soul returns to this body from modern times, even if the Buddha above has noticed the change in his temperament, in order to abide by the rules of the game, he will not interfere with him in any way.

As for Sun Wukong———

"When I made a big fuss in the sky, it was the Tathagata who set up a trap to trap me, but the Taoist immortals couldn't do anything to me. At that time, I noticed the Jade Emperor's face, and I had a vague guess in my heart." Sun Wukong's tone Very calm, showing a kind of calm and calm: "During the 500 years of being imprisoned under the mountain, I have been thinking about the reason why the Tathagata trapped me there, until Tang Seng appeared later, and the speculation in my heart was somewhat confirmed. "

"Tang Seng rescued me from the bottom of the mountain. In return, I protected him all the way west to learn scriptures. This is the purpose of Tathagata trapping me at the bottom of the mountain, in order to create a relationship between me and Tang Seng."

"So from that time on, you knew that this journey to the west was actually a game between Taoism and Buddhism?" Chu Zhen was somewhat surprised. Although Monkey King said it relatively simply, it must have been through continuous It can be deduced.

At first, he could guess that learning from the Western Paradise was just a game between Taoism and Buddhism because he had read Journey to the West from the perspective of a bystander.But now he can be sure because he has recovered all his memories. As the commander-in-chief of the Milky Way in Heaven, he still knows some inside stories.

Compared with him, Sun Wukong only guessed it through his own speculation and observation as a player in the game without knowing any relevant information.

Should it be said that he is worthy of being the person he likes?

Chu Zhen smiled, turned her body sideways and looked at Sun Wukong with her head propped on one hand, with curiosity in her eyes: "Since you guessed that you are a pawn, you shouldn't just do nothing."

Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows, sat up suddenly and took out the golden cudgel, under Chu Zhen's surprised gaze, he pointed to the position ten centimeters down from the end of the golden cudgel.

A piece of Monkey King's hair is wrapped around this position, and the golden hair is almost integrated without a golden hoop. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell that there is a hair wrapped around it.

Thinking of Sun Wukong's ability to transform into a clone after drunk, Chu Zhen instantly understood.

Sure enough, in the next second, Sun Wukong took off the blond hair and blew it lightly, and an identical Great Sage appeared in front of Chu Zhen.

Chu Zhen was slightly stunned. It's not that he has never seen Monkey King's clone, but this time it seems a little different...

Sun Wukong said: "This is my substitute. When necessary, it can completely replace me and go west to learn scriptures."

Suddenly, the story of the true and false Monkey King appeared in Chu Zhen's mind.

When he was watching Journey to the West before, he wondered what the true and false Monkey King was all about, and what the real identity of the fake Monkey King was.

Monsters who are afraid of Monkey King dare not pretend to be Monkey King at all, monsters who don't take Monkey King seriously don't bother to pretend to be Monkey King, and monsters who are evenly matched with Monkey King have no need to pretend to be Monkey King.

Therefore, the six-eared macaque has the same ability as Monkey King. He is fully capable of dominating one side and pretending to be Monkey King. From an essential point of view, it seems very strange.

Sun Wukong has piercing eyes, can change like 72 celestial gangs, and has a wishful golden cudgel.

The fiery eyes were forged in the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun with Liuding divine fire.He learned the 72 changes of Tiangang under the seat of Patriarch Bodhi.As for the golden cudgel, it is the Dinghaishenzhen of the East China Sea.

If a monster pretends to be Monkey King, then that monster must at least meet the above three conditions at the same time.Let alone the fact that there is only one Golden Cudgel in this world, it is even more difficult to be satisfied with the first two, because it requires a perfect opportunity.

Now seeing the Monkey King avatar in front of him, Chu Zhen's doubts were naturally solved.

No wonder, no wonder Avalokitesvara and Tang Seng chanted the curse, and both Monkey Kings cried out for pain. No wonder the Jade Emperor and all the immortals couldn't tell who was real and who was fake.

Because from the beginning to the end, there is no such thing as a monster pretending to be Monkey King, but a play directed and performed by Monkey King himself.In the original book, Sun Wukong did this so that Chu Zhen didn't want to think about it. All he cared about was the one in front of him.

Chu Zhen stood up, put Sun Wukong's shoulders and said, "Brother, you're so cunning." Prepare yourself a perfect substitute that is exactly the same as the main body.

Not to mention, if two Monkey Kings stand together, it will be really difficult for him to tell who is the main body and who is the clone.

Looking at Monkey King who took back his avatar, Chu Zhen had a flash of inspiration and suddenly thought of a very good plan.

Seeing Chu Zhen staring at him, Monkey King paused, "What did you think of?"

Chu Zhen didn't answer, but just looked up at the sky, as if he was thinking about it, and after a few seconds, he suddenly said: "Brother, do you want to have a trip with just the two of us?"

Facing Chu Zhen's unusually bright eyes, black and white eyes, under the warm sun, they seemed to have a warm halo.Sun Wukong was startled suddenly, then the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his thin lips parted slightly, and he uttered a word: "Okay"

He wanted to see the place where this person had lived in the past twenty years, and the things that he had never seen before appeared in the illusion, which aroused an unprecedented curiosity in him.

He wanted to go there, with this stupid pig.

Chu Zhen smiled, pulled Sun Wukong's collar, took a bite on his lips, and quickly backed away: "Elder brother, I really love you for seeing me as the only one in your eyes."

Monkey King also laughed, this stupid pig used the word 'love'.

At this moment, there was a burst of clear applause not far away, and then, a tall figure appeared in the sight of the two——

"As expected of what Gao Cuilan called a dog boy." The visitor said sarcastic words, but his tone was so calm that it was almost dead silent.

The expressionless face, the pale face where you can almost see the veins of clear gray veins.

"Have you recovered all your memories?" Chu Zhen asked.

Mu Huai raised his eyelids: "Yes."

He glanced at Chu Zhen, and then at Monkey King next to Chu Zhen, "It seems that there is already a plan?"

Chu Zhen just nodded when he heard the words, and didn't intend to say more.Seeing this, Mu Huai wisely didn't choose to ask again. He took out a black jade pendant from his pocket and threw it to Chu Zhen: "I'll return this to you and return it to the original owner."

Chu Zhen glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, and held it firmly in his palm: "Thank you."

Muhuai said slowly: "It's not about thanking, we don't owe each other any more."

They really owe each other nothing.

Looking at the back of Muhuai leaving, Chu Zhen had to lament that fate is indeed a wonderful thing sometimes.

Sun Wukong suddenly asked: "Both Muhuai and that shark are pawns chosen by the Jade Emperor?"

"Scream monster? That Lianyan from the Tongtian River?" Chu Zhen remembered that after he escaped with the help of the old turtle, there was indeed a period of time when Monkey King and Lianyan were still in the water. What.

"I don't know about Lianyan. As for Muhuai," Chu Zhen recalled, "He was originally a disciple under the name of Taishang Laojun. He was just acquainted with me, but he was unwilling to be Jade Emperor's pawn because he was the same. Got together. His situation is similar to mine. In order to avoid becoming a puppet, before I was demoted to the mortal world, he also used the time axis artifact to divide one into three. A soul, a body, and a wisp of consciousness. His soul together with The memory is stored together in the time axis artifact, and the body and a ray of consciousness are reincarnated into a tree. In exchange, when my soul is not in this time and space, his soul will serve as a substitute for my soul and temporarily keep the time axis for me Artifact. Only when my soul returns to this time and space can his soul go to find his body."

"So when I confronted him for the first time, his strength was limited because his soul hadn't merged into his body. It's similar to Zhu Bajie's state before you came back here?" Sun Wukong remembered him at that time When fighting against Mu Huai, there was indeed a feeling that the opponent's strength was far beyond that level.

"It's almost like that." Chu Zhen nodded, and then said: "The reason why he went to find Gao Cuilan and taught Gao Cuilan martial arts after Zhu Bajie 'abandoned' Gao Cuilan was also because of the guidance of a ray of divine consciousness. Otherwise, today’s scene would not have happened.” Speaking of this, Chu Zhen paused for a moment, and then continued: “During our journey to the Flame Mountain, Muhuai’s soul should have been completely integrated with the body, but at that time he There is still a part of memory missing, so I can only find me with the guidance of that wisp of spiritual consciousness, and retrieve that part of memory through me." This is why the words Chunxiangge Muhuai said, and it is also why the scroll opened. It is a picture of a tree.

As for why Chunxiang Pavilion was chosen as the place to meet, it was probably because it was a brothel, and it was a forbidden place for the above Buddhist immortals, so no matter which faction they were, they would not choose to peep secretly, which also guaranteed A certain amount of concealment.

"This jade pendant is the contract I made with Mu Huai. The contract will end when the property is returned to the original owner." Chu Zhen handed the jade pendant to Monkey King.

Sun Wukong took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, then asked: "This jade pendant should have other functions, right?"

"Of course..." Chu Zhen suddenly stepped forward, holding Monkey King's face with both hands, and under the gaze of Monkey King's calm eyes, said meaningfully: "This jade pendant is the transport tool for us to travel together."

"Have you decided?" Sun Wukong asked.

"Don't you want to go?" Chu Zhen asked back.

Sun Wukong hooked his mouth and returned the jade pendant to Chu Zhen. He untied the hair on the golden hoop and said, "Then let's start now."

Chu Zhen gently stroked the jade pendant in his hand: "Okay."

Use the time axis artifact to separate the soul from the body again, and this time let the remaining ray of divine consciousness completely merge with the body.And his order to this ray of spiritual consciousness is to continue to go west to learn scriptures according to his current personality, and don't let Tang Seng and Sha Wujing see any flaws.

As for when the Buddha immortals in the sky noticed it, it had nothing to do with them. Since the game started, they couldn't interfere. As a pawn, why didn't they fulfill their right to freedom?

Chu Zhen and Sun Wukong looked at each other, then put the jade pendant on the ground, and dripped a drop of blood on the jade pendant.

Having a body in another time and space, so it is enough for the soul to go there.

The moment the blood melted into the jade pendant, the jade pendant suddenly turned into a black square of about two meters, and below the square was a boundless pitch-black abyss.

Chu Zhen stretched out his hand and smiled provocatively at Monkey King.

Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows and held Chu Zhen's hand without hesitation.

The moment the two jumped into the abyss with their hands clasped, Chu Zhen threw out a magnificent sentence——

"At the end of the story, the monkey and the pig have a walk-and-go trip!"
