Seeing a holy monk misses life

It was late at night when Chu Zi sat on somersault cloud and left the cave where Mo Sheng was.But now, when he returned to Zijie Temple, it was sunset.

The setting sun is like blood, the sunset glow in the west covers the clouds, and the golden afterglow that falls diffuses in the courtyard of Zijie Temple, as if dyeing the whole Zijie Temple with a layer of dim yellow tulle.

One month in the sky, one year on the ground.

Chu Zi didn't stay in the Chaoyin Cave of Guanyin for a long time. In fact, three days have passed here on the ground.This also meant that his three apprentices fought the monsters for nearly three days.

Sun Wukong has a quick temper, refuses to admit defeat, is a bit competitive, and strives to do his best in everything. Letting Mo Sheng escape from him this time is a shame to the Great Holy Lord.

Fortunately, he knew that the snake demon was fleeing from Qingxiao Kingdom's imperial city, which made Monkey King less disturbed.

The imperial city of Qingxiao Kingdom is still quite a distance from the Zijie Temple.Although Chu Zi planned to hurry on the road as soon as possible, but considering that it was getting late and the three apprentices had been fighting for a long time, they needed to recharge their batteries, so they finally decided to rest at Zijie Temple for one night and set off early tomorrow morning.

The old abbot of Zijie Temple was very guilty of taking Chu Zi away because the monster turned into him. He apologized to Chu Zi for a long time, and then cooked himself, and made a big table of sumptuous vegetarian meals for the four masters and apprentices. .

After the fast meal, it was half past Xu time.

The setting sun in the sky disappeared completely, darkness covered the day, and the stars and moon gradually floated above the clouds.

Zhu Bajie ate the most. He was fat and consumed a lot. After dinner, he started to feel sleepy, so he went back to his room to rest.Sha Wujing was better than Zhu Bajie, but he was also a little sleepy. After holding on for a while, he said goodnight to Chu Qi, and went back to his room to rest.

Among the three apprentices, only Monkey King is still sitting in his seat.

He looked a little sullen, and only took a few mouthfuls of his fast, obviously still concerned about Mo Sheng's escape from him.

The warm candlelight shone on Sun Wukong's face. He supported his temple with one hand, and turned the wooden chopsticks with the other hand. His thin lips were closed in a sharp straight line, his eyes were half closed, and his long eyelashes hanging down.

Chu Zi asked him: "Are you still thinking about the snake demon?"

Hearing Chu Zi's voice, Sun Wukong paused for a moment while turning the wooden chopsticks. He put down the wooden chopsticks, raised his eyes to look at Chu Zi, with a serious and serious expression: "Master, the snake demon is more serious than I have seen before." The monsters that have passed by are much more powerful, so his identity is certainly not simple."

Chu Zi thought for a while and asked, "What did you see when you fought against him?"

Sun Wukong recalled: "His epidermis is very hard. When fighting, the skin of his body will turn into pieces of snake scales. The light spots emitted by the snake scales have a hallucinogenic effect, and the strange lines on them will also cause a strong sense of vertigo. "

Speaking of this, Sun Wukong's eyes flashed a flash of fighting intent: "I must catch that monster." There was a dazzling brilliance in his dark eyes, and the sense of publicity that Chu Zi was familiar with Back again.

Chu Zi smiled softly, and encouraged her warmly: "As a teacher, I believe Wukong can do it." But soon, Chu Zi's voice suddenly changed: "But..."

"But what?" Sun Wukong took it subconsciously.

"But before that, let me see your injury." Chu Qi stood up while speaking, "Wukong, follow me into the room, and I will apply medicine to you."

Monkey King didn't take it seriously: "I have these minor injuries, nothing serious..."

"Wukong." Chu Yu interrupted him, with a gentle look in his eyes that could not be refused.

Sun Wukong met Chu's eyes, and after a while, he obediently followed Chu's into the room.

The room that the old abbot of Zijie Temple arranged for Chu Zi was the largest room in the entire temple. After Chu Qi entered, he motioned for Monkey King who followed him into the room to sit on the soft couch.

"Apart from the face, is there any injury on the body?" Chu Zi asked while finding a plaster from the box.

Monkey King quickly replied: "No more."

Hearing this, Chu Qi took the plaster and walked in front of Sun Wukong. He bent down and looked at Sun Wukong's gaze. His amber eyes were shining brightly under the candlelight, "Wukong, you can't lie."

Sun Wukong coughed lightly, his eyes rolled around a little guilty, and finally he casually mentioned a wound: "Under the back of the head."

When Chu Zi heard this, she frowned slightly, "The back of the head?"

He sat down next to Monkey King, "Get down on the ground and let me have a look."

Whether it is a mortal or a mana-blessing existence like Monkey King, the brain is a relatively vulnerable part of the body.Although he knew that Sun Wukong would be fine, Chu Zi still had to check the situation before he could rest assured.

Sun Wukong didn't react a little: "Get down?"

Chu Zi didn't think there was anything wrong: "What's wrong?"

Seeing this, Monkey King didn't speak anymore, although he felt that he was a majestic Monkey King, and a little injury was nothing at all.But seeing that Master cared about him so much, Sun Wukong was actually very happy in his heart, which showed that Master cared about him very much.

Thinking of this, Monkey King simply bent down, lay face down, and directly pillowed his face on Chu Zi's lap.

Chu Zi: "?"

Chu Zi blinked her eyelashes lightly, and lowered her head to look at Monkey King lying on her lap. His original intention was to let Monkey King lie on the soft couch, but he didn't expect that Monkey King misunderstood what he meant and just said nothing. Lie down on his lap.

Looking at Sun Wukong's somewhat messy and frizzy hair, Chu Zi shook his head lightly, with a slight smile in his eyes.

Forget it, let him do it.Chu Zi thought in her heart.

In fact, Monkey King is not as calm and composed as he has shown.At this moment, he was lying on Tang Sanzang's lap, burying his face in his master's soft thigh

Going up, smelling the elegant fragrance emanating from the master, Sun Wukong felt a little dizzy all over.

Breathing is not as easy as it used to be.

The back of his head was slammed by the opponent's weapon when he was fighting with the snake demon, but Monkey King felt that the feeling it brought to him at that time was not as deep as it was at this moment.

Especially when he felt his master's hand gently inserted into his hair, Sun Wukong suddenly felt an inexplicable tension.

Chu Zi didn't know that Sun Wukong had thought a lot in his mind in a short period of time. He gently stroked the back of Monkey King's head with his fingertips, "Did it get hit here?" He could feel that there was something wrong there. A raised small bag is not particularly obvious, but you can still feel it when you touch it carefully.

Sun Wukong snorted, not because of the pain, but because there was a strange itchy numbness from the position that was lightly pressed by Chu Qi.

And because Sun Wukong buried his face completely on Chu Zi's legs, his hissing sound became a little soft after it was transmitted into the air, which sounded very vague and unreal.

Chu Zi's hand paused for a moment, and then rubbed it lightly.

Chu Zi's strength is well controlled, neither heavy nor light.

Sun Wukong quickly narrowed his eyes comfortably, and his body was not as tense as it was at the beginning.

Seeing Sun Wukong relax, Chu Zi asked softly, "Where else is there?"

"

Hearing this, Chu Qi took off the hair band on Monkey King's head, and then began to move his fingers down slowly, staying at the root of Monkey King's hair.

He brushed Sun Wukong's hair away, and at a glance, he saw several red marks on the skin below the hair roots that had already ooze blood.The shape of the red mark seemed to be scratched by the rough bark after the back of his neck hit the tree trunk.

Chu Zi couldn't help asking: "Does it hurt?" His fingertips rested on it.

"It doesn't hurt." Monkey King replied, not only did he feel no pain, but now he even felt that the part touched by Master's slightly cold fingertips was a little hot.

This kind of heat was weird, as if it had jumped in from the wound and then flowed to his whole body, causing the temperature of his body to suddenly rise by one degree.

Sun Wukong pursed his lips tightly, the initial tense feeling came again, not only that, he also felt that his breathing was more stuffy.

Fortunately, his master's hand was quickly removed from his wound, replaced by a soft, cool and slippery plaster.

Chu Zi quickly finished applying the medicine: "Okay."

Sun Wukong let out a breath in his heart, although he didn't know why he was nervous, but lying on the master's lap like this, with his head resting on the master's thigh, he just couldn't maintain his usual state.

He pursed his lips, trying to get up.

However, as soon as he moved, Chu Yu pressed Sun Wukong's shoulder with his hand, "Wait a minute, the medicine is not dry yet."

So Monkey King lay down again, and the ears buried between the hair on both sides also glowed a thin layer of blush under the candlelight.

Chu Zi saw Sun Wukong's red ears, and after realizing that Sun Wukong was a little embarrassed, the smile became more obvious in Chu Zi's slightly curved eyes.But he didn't say it, but pretended to be ignorant.

A quiet atmosphere slowly filled the air.

Sun Wukong didn't speak, neither did Chu Zi, but as time went by, he noticed that the blush on the tip of Sun Wukong's ear spread bigger and bigger.Through a layer of fabric, Chu Zi even faintly felt that the skin of Sun Wukong's face, which was attached to his thigh, was getting hot.

If this continues, the stone monkey might be bored.

Chu Zi thought to herself, so she took the initiative to break the silence.

"Wukong, tell me about your time at Huaguo Mountain." As he spoke, he gently stroked Monkey King's hair, with a bit of gentle consolation, using this method to divert Monkey King's attention force.

Hearing what Chu Zi said, Sun Wukong thought of his past in Huaguo Mountain, and the sultry feeling of not breathing smoothly dissipated a little. He turned his head, turned his face to the outside half, and began to talk. Reminds me of my past.

Chu Zi listened very carefully, occasionally asking a few questions.

Chu Zi's cognition of Monkey King's past was all based on the description of Monkey King's birth in the original Journey to the West.Now he heard Monkey King talking about his past, only to find that Monkey King, who is making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, is far more vivid and three-dimensional than he thought.

Time passed by minute by minute.

After the plaster on the back of Sun Wukong's neck dried up, Chu Zi patted him on the shoulder lightly, "Wukong."

Sun Wukong sat up, because he had just shared with Chu Qi the interesting stories about him in Huaguo Mountain, his black and white eyes were bright under the halo, and his whole handsome face was extraordinarily high-spirited.

"Master, when I have a chance, I must take you to Huaguo Mountain to take a good look." Monkey King stared straight at Chu Qi.

"Okay." Chu Zi replied, with a smile on the corner of his lips.At the end, Chu Zi stretched out her hand and tied Sun Wukong's loose hair with a headband again, and then pushed the broken hair from his forehead behind his ears, revealing a wound about two centimeters below his eye.

Chu's wet handkerchief was cleaning the wound. In order to wipe it better, Chu's body leaned towards Monkey King, and her head was slightly tilted, so that she was very close to Monkey's face.

Monkey King looked at Master's approaching face, which was so close that Monkey King was afraid to meet Master's eyes, so the next second, Monkey King, who was not afraid of anyone, lowered his eyes casually.

His lips were tightly closed, pretending to be calm, but the slightly fluttering eyelashes revealed his restlessness at the moment.

Chu Zi didn't poke Sun Wukong. Such a close distance made Chu Zi discover that Monkey King's eyelashes were very long, black and thick. When he half closed his eyes at this moment, the thick and long eyelashes looked like a closed arc.

Sun Wukong's face is handsome, with sharp edges and corners, and the outline of the facial features is also very deep.A face like his, when he is not talking or smiling, will give people a sense of arrogance and publicity, revealing a majestic rebelliousness and unruliness.

But it was such a mature and tough face, but at this moment, because of some small ups and downs in his heart, he showed a completely opposite kind of youthfulness.

Such a strong contrast is very interesting to Chu Yu, which reminds Chu Yu of the expectations in his heart when he first accepted Monkey King as his apprentice.

Monkey King is a blank sheet of paper, clean and pure.

As Sun Wukong's master, he hopes that Sun Wukong can have a more dazzling and gorgeous color under his own pen, and become the most powerful existence in his heart that is closest to perfection.

Chu Zi knew that it was a little abnormal for her to think like this.

But there is a certain paranoia hidden in everyone's heart, just like he answered Mo Sheng's question about love and desire that night, love is restraint and desire is madness.

As Tang Sanzang, his desire is to go to Leiyin Temple in the West to obtain the scriptures and pursue the Mahayana Dharma to save all living beings.It is restraint, and it is to promote the compassion and compassion of Buddhism.

But under Tang Sanzang's body, he is still Chu Qi.

Tang Sanzang is the water that can contain everything, benevolence, fraternity, and understanding. Chu Zi and Tang Sanzang are very similar, but they are very different. His indifference and desire to control are hidden deep under the most gentle skin. Melted in his bone marrow.

He can do it seamlessly if he wants to.

So Chu Zi and Tang Sanzang can be separated, or they can be perfectly integrated.

There will not be any conflict between the emotions between the two.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

On the second day, when the first ray of sunlight hit the Zijie Temple in the morning, the four masters and apprentices had already packed their luggage and were ready to go.

The old abbot and several other monks performed a Buddhist ceremony to Chu Que, and said in unison: "May the holy monk have a safe journey."

Chu Yu nodded slightly, passed the old abbot and several other monks, and got on the horse, "Let's go." He said to Monkey King who was leading the horse in front.

Sun Wukong nodded.

Zijie Temple is located on the border of Qingxiao Kingdom. The four masters and apprentices walked together for about two hours, and then walked two miles on Pingsha Road.After passing through an ancient Hongqiao with green moss marks, I saw the gate of Qingxiao Kingdom 200 meters ahead.

The city gate is more than two meters high and five meters wide. The walls are made of very regular and smooth large square bricks. Lookout.

In the middle of the wall above the city gate, there are three large characters of Qingxiao Kingdom printed on it.Behind the large characters, two smaller characters are engraved.

Simon.

Chu Zi's gaze moved down from the two small characters. The city gate was wide open, and there were no soldiers guarding it on both sides, and many people came and went in and out.

Chu Zi noticed that most of the people who entered the city gate were not alone, at least five people, and at most seventeen or eight people.And behind them are carts and horses dragging goods.

Some of these carriages were completely covered by awnings, while others were half exposed.Most of the half-exposed carriages were loaded with food such as rice and salt, as well as some black charcoal and mahogany.

Obviously, these are caravans.

Zhu Bajie stretched his neck, looked in the wide open city gate, and muttered: "It seems that Qingxiao Kingdom is quite lively!"

Sha Wujing nodded and said: "This Qingxiao Kingdom should be the kind of country where merchants gather mainly to trade goods."

"It doesn't matter what country he is in, as soon as he arrives at the posthouse, it's enough to have something to eat." Zhu Bajie retracted his gaze and looked at Chu Zi, "Master, let's go in quickly."

Sun Wukong glanced at Zhu Bajie: "There are many people in the city, and the people are mixed. The snake demon is hiding in the imperial city. Protect Master."

Zhu Bajie waved his hand: "I know, I know."

After the four masters and apprentices entered, Chu Xun found that the imperial city of Qingxiao Kingdom was more lively than he had imagined, and there were stalls of all sizes around.

Behind the stalls, there are neat rows of shops with magnificent shops, some selling salt and rice, and wine shops and teahouses with different decorations.

The streets are full of cars and horses, and people wearing different costumes come and go like weaving, young, old, young, men and women are so lively.

Because the king used to believe in Buddhism very much, there are many temples and monks in Qingxiao Kingdom. Even though a Taoist priest was recruited as the national teacher two years ago, and the Taoism began to decline in the country, there are still many monks who have not saved their hair and returned to the vulgar.So besides merchants and ordinary people, monks occasionally pass by on the street.

In addition, businessmen from south to north gather here, and they all wear the costumes of their respective countries or tribes.So Chu Qi and the others walked on the street in monk clothes, and they didn't look conspicuous.

However, although their monk uniforms are not eye-catching, Chu Zi's appearance is particularly eye-catching.

From the moment Chu Zi got off his horse and stepped into the city gate, some sharp-eyed people noticed him, and there were men and women among these people.When they saw Chu Qi wearing a white monk's robe, there was a deep sense of amazement in their eyes without exception.

Chu Zi's figure was tall and straight, and his temperament was outstanding. The sun shone on him, reflecting a warm and elegant tranquility, which formed two extremes with the lively and noisy environment around him.

In the eyes of others, it's like a beautiful and refined Buddha lotus suddenly appeared amidst the noise of birds and phoenixes, so the surrounding air seems to be filled with a different kind of elegance.

Some women with a more restrained and shy personality have restrained gazes on Chu Yu, pretending to be doing what they are doing, and only secretly aiming at him from the corner of their eyes.

Other women with bolder personalities stared at Chu Zi's face very bluntly.

Then they didn't know what they thought of, and there was a hint of pity in their eyes, and one woman sighed with her partner beside her: "That monk in white is really handsome!"

"Isn't it! Look at that appearance and figure, it's really good-looking, why did such a man become a monk and become a monk!"

"However, if you become a monk, you can return to vulgarity!"

"That's right, when you grow up like this, it doesn't matter if it's a monk or not."

"That's right!"

"Hey! The more I look at it, the more excited I am!"

"........."

In his previous life, Chu Zi was quite good-looking, and he was already used to the gaze of others.In addition, most of these people's eyes were full of appreciation, and there was no disgusting malice or evil thought, so Chu Zi didn't care.

However, Chu Yu didn't care much, but his three apprentices were not as calm as Chu Yu.

Among the three apprentices, Zhu Bajie sneered at one of the men who had been staring at Chu Zi, "What are you looking at!"

His tone was displeased, and he blocked Chu with his body intentionally or unintentionally, as if he had a baby at home and didn't want outsiders to covet him, "See, get your eyeballs out!" His words were also a warning to others. people.

Sha Wujing was also frowning, with a dark face, and glared fiercely at another man whose eyes showed a hint of greed and covetousness.

Although Sun Wukong is not as obvious as Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie, his lips are tightly closed, his jaw line is tight, and there is a kind of sharpness on his handsome face that should not be approached by strangers.

Zhu Bajie has a fat pig face, Sha Wujing has a tough appearance, and Monkey King is even more difficult to provoke when he is expressionless.The three of them followed Chu Zi, forming a triangular protection invisibly. People who had some thoughts about Chu Zi and wanted to approach the three of them saw Monkey King, although they were a little regretful and reluctant, but obediently put them away. The desire to be close.

Zhu Bajie said: "Master, let's hurry to the station."

Sha Wujing echoed, "Second Senior Brother is right."

Sun Wukong didn't speak, obviously agreeing.

Chu Zi nodded: "Then let's speed up."

As soon as Chu Zi finished speaking, there was a burst of panicked screams and crisp horseshoes from the crowd directly in front——

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way for this princess!" At the same time as this domineering female voice sounded, a young woman in red was riding a black horse, and was aggressively heading towards the four masters and apprentices. Coming in the direction of travel.

The woman looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, and a delicate face, holding a long reddish-brown whip in her hand.She seemed to be rushing to do something urgent, whipping her whip and speeding up, turning a blind eye to the safety of the people around her.

The steed was walking like flying, and the passers-by on the road panicked and hid on both sides. People stepped on people, staggered and staggered, and they didn't know who tripped who first. The whole scene seemed very chaotic.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Seeing that the woman was less than [-] meters away from Chu Qi, Monkey King flew forward directly, picked up the golden cudgel and pointed it at the horse's hooves without saying a word, and slashed across it neatly.

"Nissing——" the steed's front legs were severely injured, and its upper body suddenly knelt down on the ground, making a mournful and thin neighing sound.

The woman in red on the horseback flew out in a parabola uncontrollably due to inertia, and in the next second there was a muffled "bang", and the woman fell to the ground with a solid piece of dog shit.

And this position, impartial, happened to be less than half a meter in front of Chu Zi.But as long as he takes another step forward, the toes will reach the distance above the opponent's head.

Chu Zi was silent, and then looked at Monkey King.

Sun Wukong felt Chu's gaze, he put the golden cudgel on his shoulder casually, and looked away silently at the sky.

Well, the weather is fine today, the sun is shining brightly.
