Seeing a holy monk misses life
Chapter 36 Chapter 36 ===
Zhu Bajie walked quickly to Chu Yu's side, "Master, why have you been away for so long?"
Sun Wukong glanced at Zhu Bajie, and said indifferently: "Not a quarter of an hour, is it a long time?"
Zhu Bajie asked back: "Not long?"
Sun Wukong crossed his arms and sneered, "Who used to explore the road for half an hour?"
Zhu Bajie knew he was wrong when he heard the words, so he glanced at Chu Zi and stopped talking.
Chu Zi looked at Su Yi who was lying on the ground, "Aren't you awake yet?"
Zhu Bajie immediately replied: "That's right." After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and came up with an idea: "Master, why don't we wake him up forcefully, by splashing water or pricking him with a needle."
Speaking of the latter, Zhu Bajie's eyes became brighter, and he became a little excited.
But these methods are unreliable no matter how they sound.
Naturally, it was impossible for Chu Zi to accept Zhu Bajie's opinion. He pondered for a moment, and said to Sha Wujing: "Wujing, you carry him on your back, let's go on our way first, to the sea of red flowers." After finishing speaking, he looked at Sha Wujing again Zhu Bajie on the side: "Bajie, you come to pick up the luggage."
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing responded at the same time, and acted according to Chu Zi's instructions.
In this way, the group continued on their way with the unconscious Su Yi.
By the time Chu Zi and the others arrived at the Red Flower Sea, more than half an hour had passed.
Chu Zi thought of what Su Yi asked the red-clothed spider spirit before he fell into a coma. He looked at the sea of flowers directly in front of him, and said in a calm tone, "Just wait here for Su Yi to wake up."
Hearing the words, Monkey King stopped and stood beside Chu Zi.
Sha Wujing replied: "Yes, Master."
Zhu Bajie put down the luggage, glanced at Su Yi who was laid flat on the ground by Sha Wujing, curled his lips, and muttered with some complaints: "When did this guy..."
Before Zhu Bajie could finish his words, Su Yi, who smelled the scent of a large field of red flowers, slowly opened his eyes.
Zhu Bajie said: "You have finally woken up!"
Su Yi sat up from the ground, rubbed his swollen temples, and then touched the back of his neck, which was so sore, with his backhand. What happened before he passed out quickly came to his mind.
After realizing that he was stunned by someone, Su Yi's thin lips were tightly closed, and his sharp eyes shot towards Monkey King.
Monkey King sneered, meeting Su Yi's sharp gaze.
The gazes of the two people collided in the air, and it was like two sharp knives exuding cold light colliding fiercely, and there seemed to be a silent clanging sound spreading out in this quiet atmosphere.
The atmosphere also suddenly became tense.
Sha Wujing looked at his elder brother Sun Wukong, then at Su Yi who had stood up from the ground, and finally turned his gaze to his master.His lips moved slightly, thinking that he should say something at this time, because the atmosphere is too strange now, but Sha Wujing was afraid that he would be stupid to say something.
The elder brother and the merman's eyes looked terrifying.
Sha Wujing inexplicably felt a little chilly.
Compared with Sha Wujing's worries, Zhu Bajie is completely watching the show.There was a strong interest in his round black pupils, and his eyes seemed to wish that Monkey King and Su Yi would fight.
In fact, if it weren't for the presence of Master, Zhu Bajie really wanted to go up to these two people who only knew how to meet with eyes, howl and shout at them: Fight!fight!
For Su Yi, a mermaid, Zhu Bajie has long disliked him, and because the other party is a young boy, he just put up with it.But now knowing that this guy is an adult male mermaid, Zhu Bajie felt a little bit aggrieved when he thought that the other party took advantage of his master by his appearance.
Thinking that he has been with Master for such a long time since he left Gao Laozhuang, let alone hugging Master's waist, he has not even touched Master's hand properly, how can he cultivate!
The more Zhu Bajie thought about it, the more unbalanced he felt.
The emotion in his eyes also changed from watching the show to a bit of resentment.
Feeling Zhu Bajie's emotional changes, Sha Wujing silently moved away from Zhu Bajie.
Pig Bajie: "..."
Hello!Brother Sha!Don't think I didn't see it!
Interrupted by Sha Wujing, Zhu Bajie also collected his thoughts, and looked at Chu Zi who had never said a word.
Seeing that the master's eyes were half closed, as if he was thinking about something, Zhu Bajie paused for a moment, then looked at Sun Wukong and Su Yi who were still confronting each other silently with their eyes, and said with a smirk: "Brother, you two Is this going to just look at each other like this forever?"
Zhu Bajie's words instantly broke the strange atmosphere of silence.Almost at the same time as his words fell, Sun Wukong and Su Yi withdrew their gazes at the same time, and turned to look at Zhu Bajie.
Facing the sharp eyes of Sun Wukong and Su Yi, Zhu Bajie shrugged, "Look at me|what are you doing?" He looked at Sha Wujing, "Did I say that wrong, Junior Brother Sha?"
Sha Wujing who was suddenly pointed out by Zhu Bajie: "..."
In the end, it was Chu Zi who spoke out, ending this meaningless episode, "Su Yi, is the red flower in front of you related to your mermaid clan?" Chu Zi didn't want to waste unnecessary time, so he went straight to the point.
Su Yi nodded. He looked at the large sea of red flowers directly in front of him, with deep eyes: "These flowers are nourished by the scales of the royal female mermaids."
Zhu Bajie was startled, widened his eyes and said: "These flowers
Sha Wujing's brows also frowned, such a wide sea of flowers must need a lot of nutrients, this eye.
Compared to Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing's astonishment, Chu Yu and Sun Wukong were much calmer, because judging from Su Yi's expression, things were obviously not what Zhu Bajie thought.
In Chu Zi's view, although the nutrients of these safflowers come from the scales of the royal female sharks, it does not mean that there must be corpses of sharks under the safflowers.What's more, if it's what Zhu Bajie thinks it is, it's impossible for Su Yi not to feel a little sentimental.
Among them, there are obviously hidden secrets.
Just as Chu Zi was thinking, Su Yi's next words just confirmed his guess.
"A female merman with the blood of the royal family has a hundred times higher fragrance on the scales than an ordinary female merman. Only five scales are needed to form a supply source similar to a spring." Su Yi looked at the sea of flowers in the very center: "The scales are there
Chu Qi said: "You mean, the nutrients of these red flowers all come from the strange fragrance emitted by the five scales below?"
"Yes." Su Yi nodded, with a complicated look on his face: "Those five scales should be left by my sister Wang."
"Your sister Wang?" Zhu Bajie's eyes brightened slightly, and he asked with some enthusiasm, "Is she pretty?"
Su Yi ignored Zhu Bajie, just filtered out Zhu Bajie's words, and continued: "The rest of the mermaid clan will follow my sister Wang for the time being, and sister Wang will leave these five scales to let my sister and I Find her according to the information on the scales."
At the end, Su Yi's expression became gloomy, his voice was low, and there was a hint of grief in his eyes, as if he was thinking of a very bad memory.
Chu Zi thought of the scene where Su Yi was locked in an iron cage when he first met Su Yi in the main hall, and vaguely guessed something: "Your sister, she..."
Su Yi pursed his lips: "She's dead."
He answered quickly, and his tone sounded calm, but the flash of anger and killing intent in his eyes all showed that when he said this, the emotions deep in his heart were violently surging.
He glanced at Chu Zi, then glanced at Sun Wukong and the other three, and said slowly: "I will hide it from you, and it is also because of the death of sister Wang that I can no longer trust other clans."
Sun Wukong asked: "Who killed your sister Wang?"
Su Yi replied: "A mortal, a ship merchant." His eyes fell on this sea of flowers, but his eyes seemed to look beyond these seas of flowers and looked into the distance.
Later, Su Yi talked about all this: "My sister Wang saved a man who was killed in a storm before she was gender-differentiated. She is innocent and ignorant of the world, and she is full of curiosity about everything in this world." , that man happens to be a ship merchant who has traveled around the world and knows a lot, so he will tell Sister Wang a lot about what he has seen and heard during the period of convalescence."
Zhu Bajie said: "What happened later? Your younger sister fell in love with him?"
Su Yi hummed in a low voice, "Sister Wang differentiated into a female mermaid for him, and the blue eyes that belonged to the royal blood were also revealed. After the man found out that Mei Wang was a mermaid from the royal family, his greed exposed him | Show your true nature."
Speaking of this, Su Yi's dark blue pupils were filled with haze, and the palms hanging by his sides were also tightly clenched, "He tricked my sister Wang and asked her to travel with him to various countries, but he didn't... Thinking about it finally brought Wang Mei to Qingxiao Kingdom's underground black market."
"He used a special spice from the black market to put my sister into a temporary state of suspended animation, and then peeled off my sister's scales one by one and prepared to sell them for charity..."
Su Yi's voice became deeper and deeper, and his nails dug into the flesh, "When the last scale of my sister Wang was peeled off, she also changed from suspended animation to eternal sleep. Although I used the fastest found her quickly, but it was too late."
"When my sister's flesh and blood were about to be cut off, I killed those who tortured my sister, and tore the culprit who deceived my sister into pieces."
When these words fell, Chu Zi saw a trace of happiness on Su Yi's face.
Obviously, the fragmented corpse that Su Yi spoke of is not an exaggerated description, but is really as expressed by the literal meaning of these four words.
This ship merchant was the one who caused his sister's body to be stripped of scales. Su Yi wanted to avenge his sister, so he had to make this ship merchant pay the price of breaking her body into pieces.
Chu Zi quickly restrained his thoughts: "What happened later," he asked, "Why were you locked in an iron cage?"
Su Yi: "Later, in the process of repairing those scales on Wang Mei's body with my magic power, as my power was consumed, I found that my head became more and more dizzy. If it's just a simple loss of power, no That happens, and that's when I found out that there was a problem with the smoke in that house."
Zhu Bajie rubbed his chin and said, "Then you, like your sister Wang, fell into a state of suspended animation?"
Sun Wukong thought a little deeper than Zhu Bajie: "According to what you said, you should have grown up and differentiated into a male mermaid. If so, what happened to your undifferentiated form in the iron cage?" He looked into Su Yi's dark blue eyes: "After you got caught in that smoke, what happened?"
Sha Wujing also looked at Su Yi when he heard the words, echoed Sun Wukong and said: "When we first saw you, you were not in the shape of a male mermaid, and the Eighth Prince of Qingxiao Kingdom also said that you have not yet differentiated gender, So what else happened during this time?"
"It should be to use the last strength to disguise myself as an undifferentiated state before falling into a state of suspended animation." Chu Zi pursed his lips lightly: "Is that right?"
Su Yi hummed, "When I woke up from the state of suspended animation, I found that I was locked in an iron cage." He looked at the four masters and apprentices, Chu Zi, "And then, you should also understand what happened. I guessed it all."
Sha Wujing pursed her lips and remained silent, thinking of what happened to Su Yi Wangmei, she felt quite sorry.He couldn't help wondering if Su Yi's sister Wang was more alert or stronger, would the final result be different.
After all, Su Yi didn't faint immediately after smelling the smoke, but after his strength was exhausted.
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing thought of the same question: "Is there a significant difference in strength between the females and males of your mermaid clan?"
Su Yi: "Obviously, although the scales of a female merman have hallucinogenic effects, the premise is that the merman's consciousness must be clear."
Sun Wukong said: "So you automatically choose to differentiate into a male mermaid after you become an adult?" He looked at Su Yi, and his eyes swept over Su Yi: "Because he is stronger?"
Su Yi didn't hide it: "Yes." He lowered his head, looked at his palm, and gathered his five fingers together: "I need strength." Only male mermaids have a super strong fighting physique.
Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows, aside from other things for the time being, Sun Wukong appreciates Su Yi's pursuit of power.Because if it was him, he would choose power without hesitation.
Chu Zi asked: "The mermaids of the royal family, besides you and your sister Wang, are there others?"
Su Yi shook his head: "Only me and Sister Wang are left."
Hearing this, Chu Qi looked towards the center of the sea of flowers: "Let's go and see your sister Wang's scales."
After Chu Zi finished speaking, the five of them walked into the sea of flowers.Su Yi walked at the front of the team and stopped when he got to the very center.
He looked down at the red flowers, and then cut the palm of his left hand with the nail of his right hand.Immediately, blood overflowed from the wound on his palm and slowly dripped down.
The safflower in this place withered immediately after touching Su Yi's blood drop, and then disappeared at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
But after a while, the red flower in front of Su Yi disappeared, replaced by a round flat ground.
Zhu Bajie's eyes lit up: "It's quite mysterious!"
Just as Zhu Bajie finished sighing, something even more mysterious happened.I saw five scales slowly floating out from under the flat land.
The color of these five scales is dark red, and they are located at the five corners respectively, presenting a distribution like a pentagram.
When these scales floated up to a height of one meter, they suddenly began to rotate at a high frequency after being exposed to sufficient sunlight.The speed of this rotation became faster and faster, and at the end there was a burst of red light. The overall look was a bit like a compass, and a bit like a feng shui compass.
Su Yi looked at the compass, dripped his own blood into the center of the compass, and soon a line of words appeared in the center of the compass.
They didn't know this line of characters Chu Zi, it was obviously written in the characters of the shark clan, and the above meaning should be information related to the location.
Su Yi followed them to find his clansmen. Now that he knew where the clansmen were hiding, it was time for him to leave.
Su Yi held the compass in his hand, and after the red light dissipated, he put away the five scales and looked sideways at Chu Yu.
Zhu Bajie immediately said: "There is no need to say goodbye, you should hurry to find your sister." This appearance seemed to be more anxious than Su Yi.
Su Yi ignored Zhu Bajie, walked up to Chu Zi, stared at Chu Zi for a few seconds, and then slowly raised his other hand.
A faint blue halo condensed in the palm of his hand, and soon the halo dissipated, and a blue scale appeared in Su Yi's palm.
Chu Zi looked at the scale in Su Yi's palm. Having seen Su Yi's body, he naturally knew whose scale it was: "You are..."
Su Yi smiled slightly and said, "Holy Monk, this is for you."
Chu Zi was a little surprised: "Why did you give it to me?"
The corners of Su Yi's lips curled up: "To repay the kindness." He stared into Chu Zi's eyes, and there was a different kind of tenderness in his low tone: "In order to repay you for saving me when we first met in the hall, to repay you." You have taken care of me in these short two days."
Chu Wei shook her head slightly, "Buddha's words and deeds don't ask for anything in return, and they don't care about success or failure."
Su Yi's attitude was very stubborn, "Holy Monk, it's because you are elegant and virtuous that you don't ask for anything in return, but I can't take all of this for granted. If you don't accept this scale, I can't really leave without burden."
Chu Zi said: "You also saved me in the spider spirit's coiling hole." So we can be regarded as offset.
Chu Zi didn't say the second half of the sentence directly, but he knew that Su Yi understood what he meant.
Su Yi understood Chu Zi's meaning, but he was extremely persistent about letting Chu Zi take down the scale.He said: "Even if I don't make a move at that time, your apprentice will come at the critical moment, and..." His voice changed, "And even if you weren't with me, I would still kill those who use red flowers to make troubles!" Get rid of all the spider spirits."
"So holy monk, please accept it." Su Yi's tone was sincere.
Chu Zi frowned slightly, as if hesitant.
Seeing this, Monkey King didn't want to embarrass Master, he said directly to Su Yi: "I accept it with good intentions, but Master doesn't need your scales."
Su Yi looked at Sun Wukong: "This scale can form a protective shield at critical moments to isolate the holy monk from danger."
Hearing this, Monkey King swallowed back what he was going to say. He took the scale from Qu Yi, looked at it, and said to Chu Zi: "Master, take it."
Chu Zi was a little surprised. According to Sun Wukong's temperament, he should regard the scale presented by Su Yi as a question and challenge to his strength.No matter what, they will not take the initiative to accept it like this now.
In fact, for Sun Wukong, if this matter was put in the past, with his confidence in his own strength, he would never want the master he wants to protect to be protected by others.
But now, after experiencing what happened to Mo Sheng, Sun Wukong has gradually become more cautious about the safety of his master.And this time he went to explore the way, it is also a fact that Master was arrested.If Master's safety could be guaranteed a bit more, he would have no reason to be petty.
Thinking of this, Monkey King handed the scales to Chu Yu.
Chu Zi stared at Sun Wukong for two seconds. After guessing what Sun Wukong was thinking, a faint smile appeared in his amber eyes.
Wukong, during this period of time, has indeed grown a lot.
Chu Zi conveyed this sentence to Monkey King with his eyes.
Sun Wukong's ear tips were a little red, and he looked away pretending to be calm.
Su Yi glanced back and forth between Chu Zi and Sun Wukong, walked on the scales in his hand and stayed for a few seconds, and called Chu Zi, "Holy Monk."
He only said these two words, and didn't say anything else.
This is the meaning of saying goodbye.
Su Yi knew very well that he couldn't delay any longer.
Even if he really wanted to follow Tang Sanzang, he had to hide the secret emotion in his heart.He needs to rush to where Sister Wang is as soon as possible, where he has his responsibilities as a royal family, and there are clansmen who need him
Fortunately, there is this scale.
This scale allows him to trace Tang Sanzang's location, no matter how far Tang Sanzang is from him, he can find this white-clothed monk through this scale.
Su Yi didn't say this.
Besides this, there is a little secret that Su Yi didn't say either.That is, in their mermaid clan, the gift of protective scales means peace of mind and joy.
Su Yi's feeling for Tang Sanzang is actually very subtle.
I like it for sure.
But this love contains all kinds of complicated feelings, which cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
Right now, for Su Yi, the most important thing is to revive the mermaid clan.
After he leads the tribe to find a new home and handles everything properly, he must take some time to find Tang Sanzang.
for sure!
Su Yi said silently in his heart, and after looking at Chu Zi again, he turned and left without saying anything.
There is nothing to say.
Because this separation, to Su Yi, is not the end of him and Tang Sanzang, but the beginning of him and Tang Sanzang, so there is no need to say any more sensational words.
For Chu Zi, Su Yi is just a passer-by in his life, and he will meet all kinds of people and monsters on the long journey of learning.
As Tang Sanzang, he needs to seek Mahayana Buddhism. He will not stop for them, but he will remember them firmly and keep all the things he experienced with them in his heart.
Just like...
Chu Zi looked at the back of Su Yi leaving.
He will remember that there used to be a merman with a beautiful fish tail following him, who could not use wooden chopsticks, and was unskilled in walking with two feet.
The merman told him about his past experiences in two days, and finally gave him a scale when he was parting, wishing him a safe and smooth journey on the way to learn the scriptures.
Sun Wukong glanced at Zhu Bajie, and said indifferently: "Not a quarter of an hour, is it a long time?"
Zhu Bajie asked back: "Not long?"
Sun Wukong crossed his arms and sneered, "Who used to explore the road for half an hour?"
Zhu Bajie knew he was wrong when he heard the words, so he glanced at Chu Zi and stopped talking.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing responded at the same time, and acted according to Chu Zi's instructions.

Hearing the words, Monkey King stopped and stood beside Chu Zi.
Sha Wujing replied: "Yes, Master."
Zhu Bajie put down the luggage, glanced at Su Yi who was laid flat on the ground by Sha Wujing, curled his lips, and muttered with some complaints: "When did this guy..."
Before Zhu Bajie could finish his words, Su Yi, who smelled the scent of a large field of red flowers, slowly opened his eyes.
Zhu Bajie said: "You have finally woken up!"
Su Yi sat up from the ground, rubbed his swollen temples, and then touched the back of his neck, which was so sore, with his backhand. What happened before he passed out quickly came to his mind.
After realizing that he was stunned by someone, Su Yi's thin lips were tightly closed, and his sharp eyes shot towards Monkey King.
Monkey King sneered, meeting Su Yi's sharp gaze.

Sha Wujing pursed her lips and remained silent, thinking of what happened to Su Yi Wangmei, she felt quite sorry.He couldn't help wondering if Su Yi's sister Wang was more alert or stronger, would the final result be different.
After all, Su Yi didn't faint immediately after smelling the smoke, but after his strength was exhausted.
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing thought of the same question: "Is there a significant difference in strength between the females and males of your mermaid clan?"
Su Yi: "Obviously, although the scales of a female merman have hallucinogenic effects, the premise is that the merman's consciousness must be clear."
Sun Wukong said: "So you automatically choose to differentiate into a male mermaid after you become an adult?" He looked at Su Yi, and his eyes swept over Su Yi: "Because he is stronger?"
Su Yi didn't hide it: "Yes." He lowered his head, looked at his palm, and gathered his five fingers together: "I need strength." Only male mermaids have a super strong fighting physique.
Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows, aside from other things for the time being, Sun Wukong appreciates Su Yi's pursuit of power.Because if it was him, he would choose power without hesitation.
Chu Zi asked: "The mermaids of the royal family, besides you and your sister Wang, are there others?"
Su Yi shook his head: "Only me and Sister Wang are left."
Hearing this, Chu Qi looked towards the center of the sea of flowers: "Let's go and see your sister Wang's scales."
After Chu Zi finished speaking, the five of them walked into the sea of flowers.Su Yi walked at the front of the team and stopped when he got to the very center.
He looked down at the red flowers, and then cut the palm of his left hand with the nail of his right hand.Immediately, blood overflowed from the wound on his palm and slowly dripped down.
The safflower in this place withered immediately after touching Su Yi's blood drop, and then disappeared at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
But after a while, the red flower in front of Su Yi disappeared, replaced by a round flat ground.
Zhu Bajie's eyes lit up: "It's quite mysterious!"
Just as Zhu Bajie finished sighing, something even more mysterious happened.I saw five scales slowly floating out from under the flat land.
The color of these five scales is dark red, and they are located at the five corners respectively, presenting a distribution like a pentagram.
When these scales floated up to a height of one meter, they suddenly began to rotate at a high frequency after being exposed to sufficient sunlight.The speed of this rotation became faster and faster, and at the end there was a burst of red light. The overall look was a bit like a compass, and a bit like a feng shui compass.
Su Yi looked at the compass, dripped his own blood into the center of the compass, and soon a line of words appeared in the center of the compass.
They didn't know this line of characters Chu Zi, it was obviously written in the characters of the shark clan, and the above meaning should be information related to the location.
Su Yi followed them to find his clansmen. Now that he knew where the clansmen were hiding, it was time for him to leave.
Su Yi held the compass in his hand, and after the red light dissipated, he put away the five scales and looked sideways at Chu Yu.
Zhu Bajie immediately said: "There is no need to say goodbye, you should hurry to find your sister." This appearance seemed to be more anxious than Su Yi.
Su Yi ignored Zhu Bajie, walked up to Chu Zi, stared at Chu Zi for a few seconds, and then slowly raised his other hand.
A faint blue halo condensed in the palm of his hand, and soon the halo dissipated, and a blue scale appeared in Su Yi's palm.
Chu Zi looked at the scale in Su Yi's palm. Having seen Su Yi's body, he naturally knew whose scale it was: "You are..."
Su Yi smiled slightly and said, "Holy Monk, this is for you."
Chu Zi was a little surprised: "Why did you give it to me?"
The corners of Su Yi's lips curled up: "To repay the kindness." He stared into Chu Zi's eyes, and there was a different kind of tenderness in his low tone: "In order to repay you for saving me when we first met in the hall, to repay you." You have taken care of me in these short two days."
Chu Wei shook her head slightly, "Buddha's words and deeds don't ask for anything in return, and they don't care about success or failure."
Su Yi's attitude was very stubborn, "Holy Monk, it's because you are elegant and virtuous that you don't ask for anything in return, but I can't take all of this for granted. If you don't accept this scale, I can't really leave without burden."
Chu Zi said: "You also saved me in the spider spirit's coiling hole." So we can be regarded as offset.
Chu Zi didn't say the second half of the sentence directly, but he knew that Su Yi understood what he meant.
Su Yi understood Chu Zi's meaning, but he was extremely persistent about letting Chu Zi take down the scale.He said: "Even if I don't make a move at that time, your apprentice will come at the critical moment, and..." His voice changed, "And even if you weren't with me, I would still kill those who use red flowers to make troubles!" Get rid of all the spider spirits."
"So holy monk, please accept it." Su Yi's tone was sincere.
Chu Zi frowned slightly, as if hesitant.
Seeing this, Monkey King didn't want to embarrass Master, he said directly to Su Yi: "I accept it with good intentions, but Master doesn't need your scales."
Su Yi looked at Sun Wukong: "This scale can form a protective shield at critical moments to isolate the holy monk from danger."
Hearing this, Monkey King swallowed back what he was going to say. He took the scale from Qu Yi, looked at it, and said to Chu Zi: "Master, take it."
Chu Zi was a little surprised. According to Sun Wukong's temperament, he should regard the scale presented by Su Yi as a question and challenge to his strength.No matter what, they will not take the initiative to accept it like this now.
In fact, for Sun Wukong, if this matter was put in the past, with his confidence in his own strength, he would never want the master he wants to protect to be protected by others.
But now, after experiencing what happened to Mo Sheng, Sun Wukong has gradually become more cautious about the safety of his master.And this time he went to explore the way, it is also a fact that Master was arrested.If Master's safety could be guaranteed a bit more, he would have no reason to be petty.
Thinking of this, Monkey King handed the scales to Chu Yu.
Chu Zi stared at Sun Wukong for two seconds. After guessing what Sun Wukong was thinking, a faint smile appeared in his amber eyes.
Wukong, during this period of time, has indeed grown a lot.
Chu Zi conveyed this sentence to Monkey King with his eyes.
Sun Wukong's ear tips were a little red, and he looked away pretending to be calm.
Su Yi glanced back and forth between Chu Zi and Sun Wukong, walked on the scales in his hand and stayed for a few seconds, and called Chu Zi, "Holy Monk."
He only said these two words, and didn't say anything else.
This is the meaning of saying goodbye.
Su Yi knew very well that he couldn't delay any longer.
Even if he really wanted to follow Tang Sanzang, he had to hide the secret emotion in his heart.He needs to rush to where Sister Wang is as soon as possible, where he has his responsibilities as a royal family, and there are clansmen who need him
Fortunately, there is this scale.
This scale allows him to trace Tang Sanzang's location, no matter how far Tang Sanzang is from him, he can find this white-clothed monk through this scale.
Su Yi didn't say this.
Besides this, there is a little secret that Su Yi didn't say either.That is, in their mermaid clan, the gift of protective scales means peace of mind and joy.
Su Yi's feeling for Tang Sanzang is actually very subtle.
I like it for sure.
But this love contains all kinds of complicated feelings, which cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
Right now, for Su Yi, the most important thing is to revive the mermaid clan.
After he leads the tribe to find a new home and handles everything properly, he must take some time to find Tang Sanzang.
for sure!
Su Yi said silently in his heart, and after looking at Chu Zi again, he turned and left without saying anything.
There is nothing to say.
Because this separation, to Su Yi, is not the end of him and Tang Sanzang, but the beginning of him and Tang Sanzang, so there is no need to say any more sensational words.
For Chu Zi, Su Yi is just a passer-by in his life, and he will meet all kinds of people and monsters on the long journey of learning.
As Tang Sanzang, he needs to seek Mahayana Buddhism. He will not stop for them, but he will remember them firmly and keep all the things he experienced with them in his heart.
Just like...
Chu Zi looked at the back of Su Yi leaving.
He will remember that there used to be a merman with a beautiful fish tail following him, who could not use wooden chopsticks, and was unskilled in walking with two feet.
The merman told him about his past experiences in two days, and finally gave him a scale when he was parting, wishing him a safe and smooth journey on the way to learn the scriptures.
