[Journey to the West] The Poor Monk Xuanzang

I was walking along the mountain wall at the innermost point, and I was talking to Bajie, when a sudden gust of wind blew and nearly knocked me onto the mountain wall.

The sky suddenly darkened, and red clouds rolled in the sky, accompanied by bursts of thunder.

"Why is it getting dark all of a sudden today?" I propped myself on the mountain wall and looked around, barely letting the wind blow me away.

A hairy paw stretched out horizontally, pressing the back of my head and pressing my whole body against the mountain wall.The monkey struck too hard, and with one slap, I hit a rock in the face.

All of a sudden, a stream of heat ran down his forehead.

I wiped my face, ignoring the blood on my head: "What are you smoking—" Before I could finish speaking, he slapped me back.

"Master, be careful!" He said be careful, but he held my head firmly with his hand, "This wind is weird."

The monkey's voice was rare and dignified, forcing me to suppress the anger in my heart.

I was about to say something when I heard something whizzing in chunks above my head.

Large chunks of rocks fell close to the monkey's arms and fell heavily down the mountain. The strong wind brought by the rocks made my neck tingle.

I was terrified when I saw it, and my body against the rock couldn't stop shaking, and I couldn't stop thinking wildly in my heart: If this hits someone, I'm afraid I will die.

We were on the mountainside, and the road in the mountain was already narrow enough for two people to walk side by side. The rockfall just knocked off a section of the outer road.

At this time, my feet were close to the monkey's feet, and one step outside was the abyss.

"Oh! This mountain is about to collapse!" I heard Bajie jumping aside, and although I couldn't see where he was, I was really relieved - hearing his angry voice, I thought it would be fine.

In the dark, I stretched out my hands to gather the three treasures in my sleeves, and looking at the hairy arm blocking my shoulder, I felt a little more at ease.

The wound on the head stopped bleeding at some point.

With my face pressed against the cold mountain wall, listening to the whistling wind outside and the endless rolling of boulders, I felt chills all over my body.

"Second senior brother, could it be that something happened here that angered the heavens? Look at the earth shaking—"

While Drifting was talking, it suddenly started to rain again. The rain was light at first, but suddenly became heavy. The big raindrops hit the head and face, making people hurt.

This landslide met with rain again... I was terrified, and before I could speak, I was blown away by a cloud of sand falling from the sky.As I flew out, there were two monkeys.

I rolled to the ground, I couldn't care about anything else in my panic, so I had to desperately protect the three treasures in my sleeves.

The mud and sand engulfed the vegetation and followed closely, and before I got up, it was overwhelming.

At the critical moment, the sand was stopped by an iron rod. The iron rod was not particularly high, but it was extremely wide, like a cylindrical city wall, which tightly blocked the falling sand.

I raised my head in shock, and saw the monkey sitting on top of the golden cudgel and looking down at me.

The monkey smiled calmly and said: "Master is so embarrassed."

I was lying on the muddy floor, looking up at him in such a mess, suddenly felt a little annoyed, I was so wronged but I couldn't bear it, so I just gritted my teeth and ignored him.

"Master?" He seemed to have jumped off the golden cudgel and reached out to help me.

I got up with a cold face and shook off his hand.

Yes, I am a mortal.

The life and death of me and other mortals are nothing more than a game in the eyes of you, a monster with great powers!

The more I thought about it, the more irritable I became, I dodged the hand that the monkey extended over several times, and moved forward with confidence.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and a crack suddenly appeared on the ground under my feet. The crack became bigger and bigger, and before I could retreat, it swallowed me whole.

"master!"

I heard a scream from the top, it was from the monkey.

"Jinghong, long time no see." The word Jinghong made my heart tremble, it was clearly my name in my previous life.

It was a man who spoke. This man was gentle and handsome, with elegant features, but he had a bald head.

The bald head was wearing a white monk's robe, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, with a smile on his brow, but there was a sense of tranquility.

This is a very indescribable person. When this person stands in front of you, you will feel that the whole world is quiet at this moment.

I'm sure I don't know this person, such a handsome and beautiful person, if I ever see him, I will definitely remember it.

However, the moment I saw this person, I called out his name: "Jin Chanzi."

There was a nostalgia in my voice that I couldn't understand, as if meeting an old friend for many years.

He smiled suddenly, like breaking a pool of spring water, and his whole body was full of vitality and tranquility.

Spoiler: Rebirth Initial

When I regained consciousness again, I found myself in a place similar to ancient China.

The good news is I didn't die.

The bad news is that I'm not really alive.

I don't know if there is another person in this world who is as unlucky as me, reborn as a handful of dry bones, and it is still a handful of dry bones that are not very strong.

I have to take care of my body carefully every day, for fear that one day I will toss myself to pieces. I have lived like this for hundreds of years, and I plan to live like this forever.

For a man who has died once and intends not to die again, there are few more pleasant days than these quiet banalities.

Until——one day.

I heard from the skeleton next door that a monkey poked a hole in the sky.

That is a monkey named Sun Wukong, claiming to be Monkey King, but the ridiculous thing is that he is just a skinny monkey.

The bones whispered to each other and talked a lot.There is envy, there is jealousy, and there is disdain.

No matter what their emotions are, the protagonist of the topic will always be the monkey.That unusual...monkey.

For the first time, I discovered that these dead bones who have been dead for 80 or [-] years still have such a strong curiosity.

This name rang in my ears once, twice, three times and four times.

Monkey King, Monkey King, Monkey King, Monkey King...

Wait - Monkey King!

I silently picked up my head that fell to the ground due to shock.

"Jinghong, your ribs are off." Xiao Ku shouted from behind.

I crouched in the corner silently holding my head and ribs, my mind was full of messy thoughts.

It's that monkey...

I have to save him.

But what can I do?

I know that monkey made a bet with Tathagata, and was suppressed by Tathagata under the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years.

"Jinghong! Where are you going?" Xiao Ku called out from behind.

"Do you know where Huaguo Mountain is?" Maybe I can stop him at this time?In this way, he will not be crushed under the mountain by the Tathagata.

"Why are you going to Huaguo Mountain?" Xiao Ku circled around me.

"I'm looking for a monkey." I said it in a daze.

"There are thousands of monkeys in Huaguo Mountain..." Xiao Ku suddenly froze in the middle of speaking, "You probably want to find that one."

"It's the one you want." I said.

"That one is already dead." Xiao Ku said.

"What?" I quickly put my head back on my neck, and regardless of whether it was safe or not, I grabbed Xiaoku's thin arm and asked, "What did you say?"

"Hasn't Sun Wukong been killed?" Xiao Ku looked at me with his dark eyes, "I haven't heard from him for a long time."

I let out a long breath, sour and astringent in my heart, I don't know what it feels like.

I know the monkey is there.

He is under the Five Elements Mountain.

but……

But - who can tell me where the Five Elements Mountain is! !
