Seeing a holy monk misses life

At the foot of the Flame Mountain——

After entering the door, the three Monkey Kings stepped on the ladder to go deeper.

There are 81 stairs in total.

Sun Wukong is at the front, followed by Zhu Bajie, and finally Sha Wujing.The candlelight on both sides of the stairs illuminated the figures of the three of them, and the slightly shaking candlelight exuded a faint halo.

The surroundings are very quiet, there is no wind, only the shallow breathing of Sun Wukong and the footsteps of the three descending stairs are in the air.

81 steps, long is not considered long, and short is not considered short.However, it was such a seemingly ordinary ladder that consumed a lot of energy from the three of Monkey King.

There is no other reason, this ladder seems to contain some kind of power, so that they can clearly feel the heaviness of their steps and the consumption of energy every time they take a step.

This feeling is like they have fought hundreds of rounds with monsters day and night. They are very tired, their whole body is sore and weak, and their hands have lost strength, and some of them can't lift them up.

When the last step was finished, Sun Wukong's breathing became a little short, while Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing were so tired that their eyes were blurry.

Sha Wujing was half-arched, his feet were slightly bent, and he was panting with his hands on his thighs.Zhu Bajie wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked back at the 81 stairs they had walked, with a somewhat inexplicable expression: "This thing is too strange!"

Sha Wujing heard the words and nodded in agreement: "Indeed..."

Sun Wukong didn't speak, his eyes fell on the 81 steps, and there was a flash of thought in his eyes.

At this time, Zhu Bajie suddenly exclaimed, and his tone seemed to have discovered something.

Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing looked at Zhu Bajie at the same time.

And Zhu Bajie didn't look at Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing at all, but stared at the wall two meters away in front of him.

Seeing this, Monkey King and Sha Wujing followed Zhu Bajie's line of sight. After seeing the relief on the wall, Sha Wujing's eyes widened, and Monkey King's pupils also shrank suddenly.

Sha Wujing opened his mouth and murmured, "This is..."

Sun Wukong said: "Thousand Buddha statues."

Sha Wujing said: "Why is there such a relief here?"

Zhu Bajie's eyes showed a hint of complexity: "Is this another temptation?" He slightly pursed his lips: "Test our Zen mind?"

Because the gods and Buddhas above felt the storm hidden under their calm appearance?That's why it was designed like this?

Zhu Bajie was thinking about it, but Sun Wukong sneered, with a trace of coldness in his eyes: "I'm afraid it's not just that simple."

Whether it was the weird door, the 81 stairs, or the relief, it all showed that what the three of them were going to face this time was not just a simple test of Zen mind.

Sun Wukong looked towards the tunnel corridor on the right, as if he couldn't see the end at first glance, he didn't know what they would face next.But there is one thing Sun Wukong can be sure of, that is, if the old guys above designed it for them this time, then Master is at least safe now.

Thinking of this, all the anxiety in Monkey King's heart dissipated.He restrained his emotions, and said to Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, "Let's go."

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing responded at the same time.

In this way, the three of them walked towards the tunnel on the right together.

There was no candlelight in this tunnel, and the front was pitch black. However, it was amazing that the three of them could clearly see everything within two meters away from them even though there was no light.

But only to this extent.

No matter how the three Monkey Kings move, they can only see two meters ahead, and their visible range is only two meters.

However, this weird phenomenon did not bother Sun Wukong and the others, because right now, their attention has been completely attracted by the stone walls on both sides of the tunnel.

On the stone walls on the left and right sides, the same murals are printed.

The murals are outlined with gold thread, as if floating on the wall.

At the beginning, there was only one person on the mural. This person wore a five-Buddha hat and shackles on his body.

And the appearance of this person is both familiar and unfamiliar to the three of Monkey King.Familiarity is because the face of the other party is very similar to their master, and unfamiliar is because apart from the face similarity to the master, the feeling given to them by other parts of this person is completely different from the feeling given to them by the master.

The three Monkey Kings stopped, and the three pairs of eyes looked straight at the monk on the mural.

Sha Wujing said in surprise, "Is this... Master?"

His tone was unconsciously filled with doubt and hesitation, and his expression was also very astonished, as if he was not sure about the person in the mural.

The expression on Zhu Bajie's face was not much better than Sha Wujing's.

Among the three, only Sun Wukong is relatively the calmest.Compared with Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, he was the first to know the existence of Master, and also the first person to contact Master.So compared to Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, he spends the longest time with Master and understands Master better than the two.

At this moment, Sun Wukong only said three words, with an extremely sure tone: "He is not."

Sha Wujing scratched the back of his head: "Then he..."

Sha Wujing didn't go on to say the following words, because he didn't know what to say.He looked at the murals on the wall, and his intuition told him that something more shocking might happen next.

Zhu Bajie half-closed his eyes, and said what Sha Wujing was thinking: "I always feel that the next thing will subvert my cognition."

Sun Wukong didn't say anything, just said: "Keep going."

After the words fell, Sun Wukong took the lead, followed by Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing.

The three of them walked two meters away, and once again golden murals appeared on the stone walls on both sides.

But this time, the mural is no longer just a monk, but also a horse, and a...

The Monkey King who was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing looked at Monkey King together.

Sun Wukong stared at the self on the mural, frowning slightly.

Sha Wujing said: "Eldest brother, is it you who is pressed under the Five Elements Mountain in this mural?" His tone was also mixed with some doubts and hesitation: "Could it be that these murals are the whole story of our journey to the West."

Zhu Bajie said: "It's very possible." He looked at the dark tunnel two meters ahead, and analyzed: "These are the beginnings, just like the passage of time, the more you go in, it's the process of happening."

Sha Wujing said: "So, you and I will appear on the mural behind?"

Zhu Bajie nodded: "Eighty nine is inseparable from ten." After finishing speaking, he looked at Monkey King who had been silent all the time: "So that is you?" He pointed to the person who was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain in the mural.

In fact, whether it is Sha Wujing or Zhu Bajie, what they want to know is not just as simple as what they asked on the surface.After all, of course they knew that it was Monkey King who was crushed under the mountain in the mural.

They asked this to confirm whether the Monkey King on the mural was the one they knew, the Monkey King standing in front of them.Because yes, or no, these two answers will directly affect the direction of their thinking.

Facing the eyes of Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, Monkey King was silent for a few seconds, and then replied: "This monk is not the master, so naturally this Monkey King cannot be me."

After hearing the words, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing looked at each other, nodded, and stopped talking about it.

At this time, the three of them had their own questions and thoughts in their hearts.But to solve the doubts in my heart, the only way to move forward is to see more murals.
