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

Time flies.

500 years may be a long time, but from the perspective of ghosts and gods with long life spans, hundreds of years are but a snap of the fingers.

[Great Sage, are you sure your injury is alright? ]

Chai Xi only found out from him later that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was escorted to the stage of killing demons, but after the execution failed, he was imprisoned in the Eight Diagrams Stove of the Taishang Laojun.Although it is an unexpected gain to have sharp eyes, Sun Wukong also hurt his vitality because of the 49 days of training.

Seeing that the 500-year time limit is up, Chaixi knows that it will not be long before Tang Seng arrives.

If you don't heal your injuries, it will be even harder on the road to learning the scriptures.

"It's been alright for a long time," Sun Wukong said with a smile, "What? Wuxing, are you worried about me?"

[what? ]

Chai Xi was stunned, and then let out a "hmm".

She was indeed worried about him, and there was nothing to hide about this, so there was no need to lie.

But otherwise...

Over the past 500 years, something subtle and special has indeed been slowly growing, and Chaixi has no way of determining what it is—whether it is the love between men and women, or the friendship of sympathy, or both.

The only thing that is certain is that she really doesn't want Sun Wukong to leave.

But this separation is doomed.

[I no longer call it Marble Mountain. ] Chai Xi corrected him solemnly, but actually he avoided talking about what kind of thoughts he had.

[I now have an imperial name named Liangjie Mountain. ]

After so many years, Chaixi realized that he was wrong.She thought at first that she would miss a lot of wonderful history in such a deserted place; however, after a long period of practice, her eyesight and ears have become better and better. In addition, she "stands tall and sees far away", so she can't observe the sufferings of the people. Even in a few small villages, social turmoil may not be insignificant.

A few years ago, Li Shimin, the king of the Tang Dynasty, personally conquered Dingguo in the west, and took her as the boundary, with Tang in the east and Tatar in the west.

And Chaixi has always had a special longing for this famous emperor since he studied history.Although she did not meet the real person during that expedition, she also heard from businessmen who occasionally passed by the side of the mountain to do business at the border that the Five Elements Mountain now has a new name——"Two Boundaries Mountain", and it is still today The Holy One took it himself.

She was a little excited anyway.

"It's all the same, it's all the same." The Sun Dasheng who was being pressed by her didn't know what to do, and just waved his hands with a smile, "Anyway, to my old grandson, you have always been the same mountain."

It's a very common sentence, but to Chai Xi's ears, it has an inexplicable attraction.

[actually--]

Chai Xi had an impulse for a moment, and wanted to blurt out her true thoughts, but just as she was about to say something, she suddenly became agitated and realized something.

--someone is coming.

No, it's not quite right to say it's human.

"what happened?"

Although he heard Sun Wukong's question, Chaixi didn't dare to speak out at this time.

Those two went all the way to the top of her head, as if they were looking at something, and Chai Xi guessed that it might be the Tathagata Buddha's spell.As they climbed the mountain, she still felt a little itchy, but it seemed to be different, which made her a little scared.

But she just heard the voice of poetry.

"It's a pity that the monster monkey didn't serve the public. It was arrogant and heroic back then. It deceived the heart and disturbed the Peach Club, and boldly went to the palace without permission."

"Invincible in an army of one hundred thousand, mighty in the Nine Heavens. Since I am trapped by Buddha Tathagata, when will I stretch out and show my strength again!"

Since I was trapped by my Buddha Tathagata, when will I stretch out again...

Chai Xi repeated it secretly in his heart, and couldn't help being surprised again.

She had had a faint guess before, but now that she heard these two poems, her thoughts became a little more certain.At the beginning, Tathagata Buddha pressed Sun Wukong under the Five Elements Mountain, which meant punishment, but at the same time, maybe it also meant to let him heal his wounds; in the future, when he repents and is useful, someone else will uncover the talisman paper. Only then can Monkey King Monkey King get away with this.

Sun Wukong is undoubtedly a talent, so that this talent can be used by Buddhism.

And the person who was punished had already shouted at the foot of the mountain, protesting that he had been exposed.

This is really a big scene, the land that usually appears in the past, and the five guardian Hercules who have not seen a shadow of Chaixi for a long time all appeared one after another.Chaixi heard them call "South China Sea Bodhisattva", and knew that this was probably the thousand-armed and thousand-eyed "South China Sea Guanyin" who often appeared later.

The land god and the patron saints led Guanyin Bodhisattva and his followers—more precisely, his disciples—all the way to Monkey King.

[......]

Chaixi quietly listened to the conversation between Bodhisattva and Monkey King, without saying a word.

She looked at the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in front of her, such an opportunity is rare.Avalokitesvara wears a hood and a long scarf, and holds a bottle in his hand with willow branches in it, just like the image passed down by later generations.

After a few more instructions, the Bodhisattva was about to leave when he suddenly looked over with a half-smile.

Chai Xi was startled, and suddenly felt ashamed and ashamed to watch others being caught on the spot.Before she could react, the Bodhisattva, master and disciple had already traveled a long way, and the land and others also disappeared one after another, and the place became empty again, leaving her and Monkey King in a daze relatively speechless.

[... Great Sage, I seem to have been discovered to have spiritual consciousness. ]

Chai Xi whispered worriedly, but didn't get the answer he deserved.

[Great Sage? ]

She fell silent, remembering what the Bodhisattva had said to him just now, "Go to the Great Tang in the Eastern Land to find someone who can learn from the scriptures"—isn't that Tang Sanzang?

I'm afraid it won't be long before she can get along with Monkey King again.

[Great Sage, do you really want to leave here? ]

Sun Wukong didn't answer.

But even so, Chai Xi knew his answer.Not to mention his joyful reaction to what Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said before, she can actually feel it to some extent in the usual relationship.

Besides, that is Monkey King.

—but she just couldn't bear it.

The result of being unable to bear it was that after that, for a considerable period of time, there was no longer any dialogue and conversation between the mountain and the monkey.Although Chaixi would still help Dun Wukong shield unnecessary troubles when the weather was bad, it was only out of a 500-year-old tacit understanding, and this tacit understanding made her feel like something was missing if she didn't do it.

She still practiced according to the different methods that Sun Wukong instructed step by step. She should have a good foundation and spirituality. After so many years, her cultivation base has doubled.Recently, Chai Xi has been feeling that there is something in her body that is about to move, which makes her feel itchy but unable to scratch, just like the frustration she feels when she wants to keep the Great Sage but knows that she is powerless.

In a flash, it was late spring again.

The overripe peach bent the branch, Chaixi grunted reluctantly, shook the rock a little, and the huge peach just hit the head of the monkey king she was pressing down on.

The Great Sage yelled "Ouch", and laughed happily when he saw Taozi rolling aside.He stretched out his hand to grab the peach, and just wanted to rub it against the edge, but was forcefully swept away by the half-person-high blade of grass next to it.

Sun Wukong: "..."

[I think you know what to say. ] Chaixi said slowly.

Sun Wukong: "..."

[Okay, just kidding. ]

She sighed, rolled the blade of grass and put the peach back into Monkey King's hand.

[It’s hard to move the peach tree here... It’s a pity that no one will eat the peaches it bears. ]

After the peaches that accidentally fell there were completely rotten, it didn’t take long before they actually sprouted small buds. Chaixi was very pleasantly surprised when he found out, and took care of it all the way to make it grow into a pretty good peach tree. .

From the point of view of Chai Xi, a young expert in planting and dying, this is simply a miracle.

But the problem came soon. She had no way to taste the taste of peaches. She could only judge good or bad by the shape, color and size. She couldn't do anything else anyway.Therefore, sometimes the peach trees die, and sometimes there are pests. Chaixi really has nothing to do.

Fortunately, she never put all her eggs in one basket. After countless trials and tossings, she finally grasped the essentials and made the only remaining peach tree above the head of the Great Sage, so that the peaches could be unpacked. After that, the peaches can be eaten without rolling the Great Sage—although the amount is only enough to try something new occasionally.

"It's sweet."

After Monkey King took the first bite of the first peach, he made such an evaluation.

——Efforts are not in vain!

This was Chai Xi's first reaction.

[OK!Dasheng, I will continue to work hard! ]

But now, who will praise her if she works harder?

Chaixi lay there, watching Monkey King finish off a peach with a few mouthfuls, feeling a little disappointed.

Still, she said nothing.Not only her, but also Sun Wukong, none of them mentioned the matter of Guanyin Bodhisattva's visit and the conversation between him and Bodhisattva.There has long been a tacit understanding between them. Chaixi knows that Sun Wukong does not want to be mentioned about being punished for causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and Sun Wukong has never asked Chaixi what he has always planned for himself and the future.

They also knew well that Monkey King was waiting for the person who learned from the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

So, that day really came.

The author has something to say: "It's a pity that the monster monkey didn't serve the public. It was arrogant and heroic back then. It was deceitful and disrupted the Peach Club, and boldly went to the palace without permission.

Invincible among a hundred thousand troops, mighty in the Nine Heavens.Since I was trapped by my Buddha Tathagata, when will I stretch out again! "
