[Journey to the West] The male protagonist is under a lot of pressure

"Since that's the case, you should still remember what I said at that time."

"...Of course I remember."

She knelt in the hall, obviously she was feeling sad, but she showed a smile inexplicably.

"I never dared to forget."

How could she not remember that these words have been ringing in her ears all the time over the years.

It's just that I never thought that the so-called fate would be realized in this way.

Once everything is revealed, everything becomes calm on the surface, but that actually represents a dark tide.Chai Xi felt Tang Sanzang's unexplainable worry since she came back, and that worry seemed to have eased a lot when he felt the distance between the two of them the next day that night.Tang Sanzang never said it clearly, this has only become a hazy intuition.

No matter how many conflicts occurred along the way, no matter what kind of conflicts of ideas there are between them, after more than ten years of getting along, Sun Wukong and him are mentors and apprentices after all, Tang Sanzang still hopes that he will devote himself to goodness and achieve positive results. .

——That's how Chaixi feels.

Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha were fine, except for one time, they seemed to want to ask something, but were interrupted by Chaixi.

More than ten years of hardships have changed the mood of the group of people a lot. Although the Great Sage is still so arrogant and Zhu Bajie is always so keen to break up the group, everyone has their own changes.As far as Chaixi herself is concerned, the impact of these ten years on her is even comparable to that of those 500 years.

Ten years and 500 years, the boundary between the two is when Sun Wukong first escaped from the Five Fingers of Buddha, and that is also the biggest opportunity for Chaixi to transform.

If she hadn't chosen to go west with them to learn Buddhist scriptures when she first took human form, how would the ending be different?

It's not the first time Chai Xi thinks about this question, but every time she comes up with the same answer.

There is simply no other way.

Even if she was given another chance, she would choose to go on the road with them—with the Great Sage, even if she knew it would end like this in the end.She used to be confident that the great sage would probably choose the same way, but when she saw his figure sitting there after the marriage, she suddenly felt a chill and changed her mind.

She still remembers Monkey King's expression that night.

Wouldn't it be better for the Great Sage never to have met her?

It is no longer possible to have answers to these questions. Chai Xi tried to talk to him again several times but lost his courage after all. The two have never even spoken a word since that day.The two people who were closest to each other turned out to be strangers in the end, and Chai Xi didn't know how he should feel.

But now, even if I can muster up the courage to ask again, I don't know who to ask.

After more than ten years, she finally arrived at Leiyin Temple in Xitian. Tang Sanzang, who devoted herself to the scriptures, was naturally overjoyed, while Chaixi's mood was far beyond her imagination.She had had such a nightmare, and it was even a little funny to think about it now, but it was a real worry at the time, but it was not enough to imagine that the two of them would be separated in this way in the end.

Unlike the others, Chaixi was stopped outside the mountain gate of Leiyin Temple. The Four King Kongs only said that this was the order of the Buddha, while Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang and others were summoned after they reported their crimes on their behalf. left the hall.She was led to rest aside by Jiedi, waiting for the Buddha to be summoned later.

Before leaving, she subconsciously glanced at Monkey King who was walking in the front as usual, but unexpectedly, she happened to meet the eyes of the other party who was also looking this way.When the four eyes met, Chai Xi felt that he saw Monkey King's footsteps paused slightly, but he still didn't hesitate, and then turned his eyes away first, and then walked into the mountain gate.

This will be the last time they see each other again.

For some reason, such a thought suddenly appeared in her mind.This idea is too unlucky, but, at least for now, Chai Xi really thinks so.

"The cause can be born, and the fruit is born. The cause you plant will surely achieve your today's fruit. However, the cause and effect have been accomplished, and it is meaningless to care about it any more," different from what she saw from afar when she first transformed Image, now the Tathagata Buddha is sitting on a high place in front of her, but the voice is still the same as that time, it doesn't seem to come from the ear, but it seems to sound directly in the bottom of my heart, "You have your own home .”

She opened her eyes.

Although she had countless fantasies about her own ending, there was only one that she dared not touch—that possibility was hidden in her heart from the very beginning.

... No, maybe during the few days of waiting, she had vaguely had similar thoughts, but she still didn't dare to really think about it.

Unexpectedly, now...

"Forgive me for being stupid," Chai Xi said with a trembling voice, "I don't understand what the Buddha said."

Her fingers tightened, her thumb slammed into the cut on her index finger, her body froze for a moment, and she suddenly realized that everything could be connected in series.

Just last night, Chaixi wondered if it was the "right time" that Shu Zhe said, so he tried to unpack the kit.She was already prepared to be dazzled in the eyes like she was in Daughter's Country at that time, and even prepared a piece of cloth for this and tied it to her eyes, but nothing happened, and the tight rope was light She was easily picked away by her.And what appeared in front of her eyes was exactly the same as what she had guessed from the touch through the kit, it was a piece of talisman paper.

It's just different from what she imagined, Chai Xi turned the thin talisman paper over and over for a while, the only difference he felt was that the strokes on it were too thin, unimaginably thin.

What is the use of this?

Chai Xi couldn't help but think of Shu Zhe again, that guy is really unreliable, but when he said about this kit, his expression was too serious, she really couldn't tell whether he was telling the truth for a while Still cheating on her.

But since he said that someone deliberately asked him to do so, it should be credible, otherwise he wouldn't have traveled so far to tease her, right?

While still hesitating, she seemed to be controlled by someone by accident. Before she knew why she did this, Chai Xi bit her index finger and placed it on top of the talisman paper, letting blood drip on it.The blood stained the yellow talisman paper, and she was a little worried that the blood would seep through the paper and stain the table, but in less than a second, the traces on it had disappeared without a trace.

She stared at all this in a daze, and then put the wound on her fingertips together with the talisman paper. The talisman paper seemed to be greedily sucking her blood until it turned a faint red.Chai Xi gently peeled off the talisman paper, and saw the blood on it congealed into a dot.A few seconds after she put the talisman paper back into the kit bag and tied the rope, before Chai Xi pinned it on her waist again, she watched it disappear before her eyes.

It was as if it had been taken out of the sky by someone.

Chai Xi: "..."

She suddenly remembered the actions he made during the conversation when he and Shu Zhe met for the first and only time at Wuzhuang Temple that day.

If she sees Shu Zhe again, she will—

In the end, she didn't think about how to deal with Shu Zhe, but was summoned by Tathagata Buddha to the Daxiong Hall early the next morning.After asking a few words about the difficulties and obstacles on the way to learn the scriptures, the Buddha mentioned the words he had said at the beginning.

"You expected it."

Tathagata Buddha said.

Chai Xi raised his head and stared at him blankly, still unable to believe what he heard.

"It's just," she said with difficulty after a while, "It's not that I don't believe in the Buddha's power, but how does it work?"

"It's not hard to say it's hard, and it's not easy to say it easy," the Buddha replied, "It's still doable."

"Your body still exists," Chai Xi was startled, and she didn't know how the Buddha knew about this—but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that she should be able to detect this information from her state, "compared to Since your current body is naturally more closely connected to your soul, but there are some obstacles in between, as long as you peel off your soul and bless it with mana, it should not be difficult."

"How do you feel?"

What does she think?

Chai Xi murmured to himself in his heart and asked himself again, but he still couldn't get an answer.

Hundreds of years have made her accustomed to everything in this era. Compared to this, she obviously only existed for twenty years after more than 1000 years.But for some reason, it was the first few decades that made her miss and miss her so much. Although she had established a lot of bonds here, in the end, all she could think of was a figure and several other people standing on the balance. On both sides, it is nothing more than a question of which is more important.

And the former, the person who means the most to her is no longer.

Then, it can only be so.

Chai Xi bent down and touched his forehead to the ground.

"Thank you Buddha."

she said loudly.

She heard the scriptures circulating, this body is a part of the Buddha, and the mana has never been so strong from the body.I don’t know if it’s because of the gradual separation, but Chaixi only felt blackness in front of his eyes, and the presence and discontinuity of his five senses from time to time. that piece of scenery.

All she can remember is the scenery, other than that, there are endless nostalgia.

Unexpectedly, at this time, what she misses the most is the time at that time.

In a sense, that was the last and the first.
