Monkey and Feather

On a day off, I woke up early.I found the demon monkey by the Shuilian Cave Waterfall, and I had many questions I couldn't figure out to ask him.

He sat cross-legged quietly, and I tiptoed up to him and sat down too.

"Monster monkey, I don't understand one thing. Why did you lock the six-eared macaque there?"

The monster monkey had a straight face, and his voice was cold: "Do you know the three moles on your butt?"

...What! !

My face turned red all of a sudden: "I... what do the three moles on my butt have to do with the six-eared macaque?"

"Then what does it have to do with you if I lock him there?"

Oh ~

I smiled, and silently took out the sharp dagger from my waist...

The monster monkey also changed his face in a friendly way, and smiled back at me devoutly: "I said~"

"Hehe, I just like to convince people with virtue~" As I said that, I took the guy back.

Seeing that I didn't continue to take the action, the monster monkey breathed a sigh of relief, then cleared its throat and said, "Do you know the four monkeys in the world?"

"Four Monkey Kings? Seems like I saw it on TV." I tried my best to recall, to make sure I remembered correctly, Tathagata seemed to have said about the true and false Monkey King.

He nodded and said eloquently: "The four monkeys in the mixed world are: Lingming stone monkey, red-tailed horse monkey, arm-armed monkey and six-eared macaque. They don't belong to ten categories, and they don't reach the name of two. Beyond the Three Realms. And I am the stone monkey, and he is the six-eared macaque."

I nodded my head half understanding, and said seriously: "These four monkeys sound very powerful."

But he shook his head, corrected me and said, "Not four, but four types of monkeys!"

"Four categories?" I couldn't help being a little surprised.His implication is that there are many monkeys of each type!

The monster monkey ignored my surprise and continued: "At present, I know more than one red-tailed horse monkey and arm-branched monkey, and there are no less than ten of them. All I know is me and the six ears."

I thought about it for a long time before I asked, "Is this what the Tathagata told you?"

The monster monkey showed a look of anger, and snorted coldly: "That old man is just a liar who likes to put on airs. Can he believe what he said? If it weren't for him, how could the six-eared macaque become like this."

The more I listened, the more confused I became, and the more amazed I became: "This?! What the hell is going on here?"

The monster monkey looked back at the waterfall, with a serious expression on its face: "Since there are people managing these three realms, they can clearly distinguish all types. But our four kinds don't belong to these three realms. life that exists.

And whenever a new life is born, the managers will watch it early, and observe carefully for a period of time to see if the other party poses a threat to the Three Realms and their status.

If there is no threat, go with it.If there is a threat, I will find a way to store it for my own use. If there is no way to collect and pay, I will get rid of it! "

The monster monkey’s voice was calm, but I was covered in cold sweat when I heard it. This reminded me of the inhumane “image” shown to me that day when the monk was killed.

I couldn't help saying weakly: "This... this sounds so scary, is the sky really that dark?"

The corner of the monster monkey's mouth twitched, and it snorted coldly: "The truth may be a hundred times more permeable than what we know. Just say, why are there so many red-tailed horse monkeys and arm-branched monkeys, while Liu Er and I only have one?" ?”

"Yeah, why?!"

"Maybe there used to be Lingming stone monkeys and six-eared macaques like us, but they were given to them by those in power..." The monster monkey didn't say anything behind it, but stretched out its hand and made a gesture of cutting its head.

I was so frightened that I almost fell to the ground, and my breathing became rapid, but I still asked luckily, "Is this just your random guess?"

But the monster monkey's eyes widened suddenly, and said viciously: "Guessing randomly?! Think about what they are doing to me and Liu Er now, aren't they chasing us everywhere now!

If they did capture us, kill us, or seal us up in one place, wouldn't we also exist? "

The more I listened to his words, the more frightened I became, and suddenly I thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "Then you said this is just one of your categories, then you should all have names, and your name is Sun Wukong! Then why is he still called Liu?" What about the macaque?"

The monster monkey patted my forehead, and cursed: "Idiot! The name is just a name, and you still call me a monster monkey! According to what you said, it is a monkey that is a monster. Aren't they all monster monkeys? Then Isn't the six-eared macaque the same?

Anyway, there is only one monkey of this kind in the world now, does it matter what it is called?Anyway, the six-eared macaque refers to the same monkey as me. "

But I refused to let go, and continued to refute: "That's not right! Since you don't belong to the ten categories, why do you look like a monkey? Isn't this monkey one of the ten categories?"

He smiled slightly, nodded in agreement, and then shook his head: "Monkeys are born from eggs, but I was born from a stone, and my shape is like a monkey. But in fact, if you look at my prototype, it is different from some monkeys now. .

It's like a tiger walks on four legs, and hunting dogs also walk on four legs. Can you say that a hunting dog with a round head and a bigger head is a tiger?

But if there is no round-headed hunting dog in this world, and when he first appears among tigers, you will say that he looks like a tiger, maybe you will say that he is a mutated tiger. "

"Can it still be like this?" As I said that, a strange idea suddenly popped up in my heart: "You said, could it be that a monkey fell in love with a stone spirit before, and then fell in love and gave birth to you?"

The monster monkey looked back at me, looking very serious. He thought for a while, and murmured: You really reminded me of this. According to records, a long time ago was indeed There have been stones that have been turned into spirits for tens of millions of years, but they are relatively rare, and they seem to be wiped out by something in the end. "

I was stunned and smiled bitterly: "Actually, I was just talking casually. Then tell me, why does Liu Er look the same as you, and even use the same weapons and abilities?"

The monster monkey smiled meaningfully, and said to me: "That's because Liu Er was specially tamed like this for me!"

"What?!" I was surprised again: "I was tamed into you? Who is it?!"

"Who else is there, of course those who want to subdue me!" The monster monkey raised his head and looked up at the sky.

I frowned tightly, and whispered softly: "Could it be that you mean Tathagata?!"

He was noncommittal, and his tone became cold: "It's everyone in power! When I was born, I was already targeted and watched by them all the time.

Seeing that I am naturally talented, I want to win me over, but who knows that I am rebellious by nature and do not obey the control, so some people want to destroy me! "

I heard something in his words, and asked: "Some people want to kill you?"

The monster monkey nodded again, and his voice became colder and colder: "To be precise, it is the majority of people, while the other part wants me to live and continue to study me, so they secretly form an opposition with the majority of people.

But the six-eared macaque is not as lucky as I am. He was also targeted when he was born.But because his ability of self-study is too strong, those high-ranking and powerful people couldn't understand him very much, so they locked him up.

That place looked the same as the outside world, but it was actually a false cage they transformed. From the outside, it looked like a huge square prison! " At the end of the monster monkey's words, his voice trembled a little, and his face turned livid.

My heart trembled: "This... this is too much!!"

But he said: "There are more excessive things. As I become more and more difficult to control, they finally worry about me. They worry that I will bring them a threat in the future.

It's a pity that they have no way to catch me or completely destroy me.So they taught all my skills to Liu Er.

In fact, they had already done this when Liu Er was very young, and only unused stones could carve the most perfect things.

What they instilled in Liu Er in the cage were the same ideas as mine, taught him the same skills as me, and dressed him in the same way as me.

The original six ears did not look like mine.But as these people rested his body and mind day after day, he also felt more and more that he was me! "

I heard all the hairs on my body stand on end, couldn't help it, and cursed angrily: "Are these bastards still human? How can you treat him like this!"

The monster monkey was silent for a while, and then said angrily: "Even, I doubt that the six-eared macaque was invented by them at all. In fact, it is just another me that I recreated based on me!"

The monster monkey said it very lightly, but I got goosebumps all over my body when I heard it. This reminded me of the replicants and clones I saw on TV.

They are made in the likeness of a human being, and in their hearts they think they are that human being.

But in the end they found that they were not, they were just tools and dolls made for people to use, what would happen to them?

I forgot the TV ending, but I saw the real one, crazy! !

My heart felt sour, my eye sockets became moist, and I said tremblingly: "If it's really what you said, then the six-eared macaque is really pitiful..."

The monster monkey shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Yes, so when he knew that he was just a pawn to use against me, he betrayed them without hesitation.

To be honest, I really hope that Liu Er can rule this day, even if it is a false world, it is better than being ruled by those sanctimonious and selfish guys.

Heaven is ruled by tools made by oneself!Just thinking about it makes me happy! "The monster monkey raised his head again while talking, looking at the dark sky with a sneer.

I sighed dejectedly and said: "Can't everything in the world become simpler?"

The monster monkey sneered more and more.

"Heh~ Where there are people's hearts, it will not be easy!"
