[Journey to the West] Show mercy

?After Avalokitesvara came, the willow branches were dipped in the jade bottle, and a few drops of nectar were sprinkled lightly, and the fruit tree returned to its lush branches and leaves, and it was full of fruits.Zhenyuanzi was overjoyed, and became sworn brothers with Wukong, and knocked down ten more fruits to share with everyone.

Qi Chen lay on the bed feeling depressed.She can't move like this now, so how can she continue to walk west?

The door opened suddenly.Qi Chen turned his head to look, but twisted his neck because of the violent movement.It turned out to be Monkey King holding a gold plate with a ginseng fruit in his hand.

"Great Immortal invited us to eat ginseng fruit." He handed the fruit in front of Qi Chen, just as Qi Chen was about to refuse, he heard him say again, "Everyone has eaten it, if you don't eat it, it's a waste."

Qi Chen had no choice but to reach out to pick it up, but Monkey King said: "You are seriously injured, lie down well, I'll feed you."

Qi Chen's face burned up again, but seeing Sun Wukong's take it for granted, he felt that he was overthinking, and he was still disgusted in his heart for thinking about nonsensical things in his head all day long.She finished eating the ginseng fruit in a few mouthfuls, and lay down on the bed again.At this moment, there was a sound outside the door again, Qi Chen felt the edge of the bed lighten, and heard Monkey King saluting: "I pay homage to the Bodhisattva."

When Qi Chen heard this, she hurriedly raised her head from the pillow to pay respects to the Bodhisattva, while Guanyin told her to lie down properly so as not to touch the wound on her back.

"Qi Chen, you are seriously injured and unable to travel westward." Guanyin said in a steady voice, "But the journey to learn the scriptures must not be delayed. You can follow me back to the South China Sea to recover from your injuries, and then go westward with them when you recover from your injuries."

Qi Chen was worried that his injury would slow down his schedule, so he hurriedly thanked the Bodhisattva.With a wave of the Bodhisattva's hand, she immediately felt that her grief and pain were reduced by half, and she could get up and move around.

"This is only temporary. It may take seven days to fully recover." Guanyin said, "I'm casting a spell on you now, just to make it easier for you to follow me to the boy."

Qi Chen nodded, then turned to look at Monkey King.She always felt that he had something to say, but she just attributed it to her superfluous intentions.She, Guanyin and Sun Wukong went out to the courtyard to meet Tang Seng and others, Qi Chen explained the situation to them and said goodbye to them one by one.

Zhu Bajie muttered a lot of words quickly, but Qi Chen didn't hear anything clearly.Both Tang Seng and Drifting hoped that she would recover from her injuries as soon as possible.Sun Wukong said "be careful".She turned her head and saw Zhen Yuanzi, and felt that he seemed a little tired, but she didn't take it to heart.Qi Chen left them, and went to the South China Sea with Guanyin.

Arriving at Guanyin's Nanhai dojo, Guanyin first ordered the boy to help Qi Shen change her medicine.Taking the medicine has an analgesic effect, and the back pain will disappear immediately after applying it.But Qi Shen still had doubts in his heart: since it was to recuperate his injuries, it would be fine to stay with Zhen Yuanzi, why did Guanyin bring himself to the South China Sea?

Guanyin saw through her heart at a glance: "I asked you to come here because I have something to say."

"Bodhisattva, but it doesn't matter." Qi Chen said on his lips, but he was a little scared in his heart.

"Do you still remember why the Buddha allowed you to follow Tang Xuanzang to learn Buddhist scriptures?" Avalokitesvara spoke slowly, but her voice was like a bell.

"Remember." Qi Chen replied, "It's to complement the soul and cultivate the immortal body."

"Then why are the rest of the people learning from the scriptures?"

"It is for the consummation of merit and virtue and becoming a Buddha."

"What are the taboos between cultivating Buddhism and Taoism?"

"Whether you practice Buddhism or Taoism, you are most afraid of distracting thoughts and impurity. There is also - desire." The more Qi Chen said, the more afraid he became.

"That's it." Avalokitesvara smiled and said, "Cultivation pays attention to cutting off the seven emotions and six desires, and the Buddhist school wants all four things to be empty. The word desire is the biggest obstacle to a practitioner. Qi Chen, do you have desires?"

"Qi Chen naturally has desires." Qi Chen smiled wryly, almost guessing what Guanyin was going to say next.

"It's not terrible to have desires. Even if you are a cultivator, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not give birth to desires. But the important thing is to learn to control desires. The reason why immortals can surpass people is that they know how to control their emotions. The real right thing."

"Qi Shen is dull, please make it clear to the Bodhisattva."

Guanyin laughed lightly. "Do you know what happened behind the scenes when you were punished?"

Qi Shen shook his head: "I don't know the details, but Elder Tang told me that the Great Sage almost escaped with us."

"Do you still remember what Immortal Zhenyuan looked like before leaving today?"

Qi Chen recalled it carefully, and suddenly remembered that he felt that Zhen Yuanzi looked weaker and older than usual.

"In order to calm down that Pohou, he was seriously injured." Guanyin stopped pointing, but Qi Chen already understood it in his heart.Avalokitesvara is just saying that Sun Wukong beat Zhenyuan Zibang to save her... Isn't this normal... He will do the same for Tang Seng.Is Guanyin trying to explain something based on this?

"Let's not talk about him," Guanyin once again saw through Qi Chen's thoughts, "Think about yourself first. There is a saying that two people love each other, if one person falls in love, the result will be borne by two people. The next step is to recuperate Days, you just think about it here."

Guanyin has made it very clear.Qi Chen knew that an ordinary Bodhisattva would only give vague instructions, but today he gave such a clear objection - could it be that the matter is really so serious?

"Also," Guanyin said before leaving, "don't blame Immortal Zhenyuan either. Just try your luck."

Qi Chen was startled, and after watching Guanyin leave, he immediately adjusted his breath and began to cast spells—how weird!She has a wonderful feeling that all the meridians have been dredged, the time for spells to condense is much faster than before, and she can cast many spells that were difficult before, as if a heavy burden has been removed.

She suddenly realized: Zhen Yuanzi's whip after whip - he was helping her break the seal!She didn't know if the seal was completely lifted, but it must have been weakened!Thinking about the mouthful of black blood that he spit out, it must be the effect of the weakening of the seal, which removed the filth in his body.

But she thought about it again, since Zhen Yuanzi could stop at seventeen lashes, why did he hit thirty!

Anyway, no matter what, I still hate him...

However, what Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said today... is more interesting.Guanyin must have found that she has a little bit of emotion for Sun Wukong, and at the same time suspects that Sun Wukong also has a little bit of a little bit of feeling for her, and she said this for fear of ruining the practice of the two of them. That's right.

But do I really only have a little bit of emotion for the Great Sage?

Qi Chen thought about how she always thought the Great Sage was handsome when he fought, was always afraid of being too far away from him, and always enjoyed being with him - she attributed everything to her timidity, so she liked to cling to him Strong people are on the sidelines, but is that really the case?

Guanyin was right - she must have been emotional.She didn't know how deep the feeling was, but it was certain—the feeling must be eliminated.She doesn't care how her practice is, because it doesn't matter if she becomes a fairy or not. In fact, she doesn't remember being a fairy at all, but she feels that the free life in Huaguo Mountain is comfortable.She just felt that this could be the goal of her life, so she embarked on the journey of learning scriptures from the West.

But does Sun Wukong really think so?She knew that he was destined to become a Buddha, so what right did she have to be a stumbling block on the way?

Some ideas, the sooner the better.

Qi Chen stayed in the South China Sea for seven days, and this idea became more determined.Her injury had completely healed, so she went to see Guanyin to say goodbye.

"Thank you Bodhisattva for allowing Qi Chen to recuperate here, and pointing out the maze." Qi Chen bowed, "Qi Chen still has a doubt in his heart, I don't know whether to speak or not."

"But it doesn't matter."

"The Bodhisattva said that I can replenish my soul when I go to the West Paradise. Does it include past memories?"

Guanyin pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Most of your lost soul has already been destroyed with memory and part of your personality. Even in the Western Paradise, the restored soul is just an extension of your existing soul and body, allowing you to explore more freely. Potential in the flesh. Therefore, you will not feel much change yourself."

After thanking Guanyin, Qi Shen flew west.Now that the seal has been lifted, she can no longer control the wind, but use the technique of driving the clouds, and her walking speed is much faster. In just half a day, she is close to the location of the four masters and apprentices pointed by Guanyin.

There was a mountain in front of it, with dense forests, and he couldn't see any traces in the air, so Qi Chen fell to the ground to look for it.After walking a few steps, a fiery figure walked in front of him.

"Great Sage!" she yelled, "Did you know I'm coming back today?"

Sun Wukong was also surprised when he saw her, but then he ran over a few steps and grabbed her hand.Before Qi Shen had time to think about it, he saw him somersaulting like a cloud, and the surrounding scenery swept back quickly.

"Great Sage...you somersault cloud is fast, but I've been flying for half a day to find this place..."

"Don't talk." Sun Wukong just said, "Come with me."

"Where are we going?" Qi Chen felt a little uncomfortable being held in his arms - his arms were too strong.

"Go back to Huaguo Mountain."
