[Journey to the West] Show mercy

? Qi Shen knew that he had to tell a lie now, and he absolutely couldn't let Zhu Bajie know about himself as the person Sun Wukong loved, and he absolutely couldn't let him know that there might be something between the two of them.Because she had to make up her mind to bring everything back on the normal track.

Zhu Bajie nodded again and again: "We are still waiting for you eagerly! Didn't the Bodhisattva say seven days at that time, but now it's almost a month!"

Qi Chen had a flash of inspiration: "You don't know that after seven days of recuperation, the Bodhisattva saw that my injury was healed, but he was afraid that I would become afraid of the journey to the west after this serious injury, so he preached to me and wanted to enlighten me. But I don't practice Buddhism, so some of the Bodhisattva's Dharma can't be fully understood, and it took another seven days. Then I came to look for you, but after three days of hard work, I still couldn't find them. The Bodhisattva sent a boy to inform me that the Great Sage had suddenly returned Huaguoshan, tell me to persuade him to continue learning scriptures. I went to Huaguoshan, but you also know that my Yufeng Jue is very poor, it took nearly five days. So, I only arrived two days ago." She said Hastily winked at Sun Wukong, telling him not to expose himself, "Huaguo Mountain is beautiful, and life is comfortable, I almost feel a little bit reluctant to leave."

"Really?" Sun Wukong said in a cool tone, "Then why don't we go?"

"How can I do that, brother monkey! I agreed to protect the reputation of your monkey grandchildren!"

After bidding farewell to the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain, the three of them set off on the road.Sun Wukong is really strong, he can pull Qi Chen and Zhu Bajie to ride the clouds.But he was obviously in a bad mood, so Qi Chen held his breath all the way and dared not speak.

Zhu Bajie must also feel embarrassed, and he didn't dare to strike up a conversation with Monkey King, so he came to Qi Chen: "Qi Chen, if I saw you last night, I wouldn't have caused so many troubles! Where did you go last night?"

Qi Chen's face became hot: "Last night, those monkeys were drinking. I didn't like drinking, so I went to the forest to take care of the newly planted fruit trees."

"Really?" Monkey King gritted his teeth, "I don't know." As soon as he said that, the clouds under his feet suddenly parted, and Zhu Bajie fell straight down!

Qi Chen was frightened again. "My lord, what are you doing!"

"What are you doing now?"

Zhu Bajie's cursing voice came from behind, and he looked - his ears were swollen, and he was flying with the wind.His appearance was very funny, but Qi Chen didn't dare to laugh when he looked at Monkey King.She knew that her behavior must be too much in Sun Wukong's eyes, but she could only do so.

"I—I naturally help you travel west to learn scriptures and cultivate to a positive result." Qi Chen took a deep breath, trying to calm down his turbulent heart.

Somersaulting Cloud's speed suddenly increased. "Really?" He sneered, "You are so unwilling to admit that you are with me? What is this to you? Shame?"

"No!" Qi Chen hurriedly shook her head, "I just want to help you do what you want to do, that's all! I never think being with you is a shame!"

"You said you wanted to help me become a Buddha," Sun Wukong looked down at Qi Chen, "It's better to say you want to help yourself become a fairy."

Qi Chen felt tears fill his eyes instantly.Her throat was choked up and she couldn't speak. She just shook her head vigorously and tried her best not to blink her eyes to keep the tears from falling.Sun Wukong turned his head away from her: "I know. If this is the case, I won't do anything more. If you become a fairy, you can find the man you turned into."

Qi Chen just shook her head, causing her eyes to turn black and her mind to be dizzy, but she still shook her head, tears were already streaming down her face, dripping on the somersaulting cloud, and then passing down the cloud.After a long time, she finally opened her mouth, but she could only make a hoarse guttural voice: "It's not like this, Great Sage. Actually, I don't want to become a fairy at all."

Sun Wukong didn't pay attention to her anymore, but somersaulting cloud walked faster and faster.Qi Chen didn't say any more, just held back his tears and then used his sleeves to wipe his face clean indiscriminately.She turned into a mirror and looked carefully, and after confirming that there was nothing to be seen from the outside, she cleared her throat vigorously.

The two stopped talking, and within a short time they reached the sea, and Monkey King rode a cloud and stopped on the west bank.

"Great Sage, don't you know the way?" Qi Chen pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Why don't we just wait for Zhu Bajie here."

But Sun Wukong started to take off his clothes - before he left, he changed back to the tiger skin skirt he wore when he was traveling west - Qi Chen turned his head quickly.

Only Sun Wukong sighed: "I just want to go to the sea to take a bath. Master is a clean person. In the past two days, I have got some goblin aura in Huaguo Mountain. I'm afraid he will dislike me."

As soon as Qi Chen heard this, he knew that Monkey King was determined to go west.She breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little uncomfortable.She just sat there with her face covered, and after a while, she felt the warmth of her palms, and tears seemed to be shed again.

Just when Monkey King was taking a bath, Zhu Bajie rushed over panting.When he saw Qi Chen below, he hurriedly got down: "Why, you were also thrown down by Brother Monkey?"

Qi Chen was still crying, and at this moment his hands were firmly stuck to his face, and he said sullenly: "No, he went to take a bath, saying that Elder Tang likes to be clean, so he must not smell like a goblin. I just think we I don't know the way, so I'll wait for you here."

While Zhu Bajie was looking into the water, Qi Chen quickly wiped his face clean with his sleeve.He complained behind his back: "This monkey didn't know why he went crazy, so he threw me down all of a sudden. If it wasn't for my old pig flying well, I would be smashed into meatloaf now. I said, if you, That must be the end."

Qi Shen wasn't in the mood to listen to his bad words, just as Monkey King landed on the shore, the three of them went back to Baoxiang Country.Following Zhu Bajie's instructions, they quickly found the residence of the yellow-robed monster.In front of his gate, two children, about ten years old, were playing and playing with each other, probably the son of the goblin.

Monkey King stepped forward and caught the two children without saying a word.They were so frightened that they cried loudly, and after a while, a woman about 30 years old came out, yelling for Monkey King to let her son go.Sun Wukong asked the woman to release the Drifting Monk, so he returned the two children.The princess believed it, and soon released the Drifting Monk.But Monkey King was unwilling to return the two children, saying that he would take them directly to the king to recognize their relatives.

The princess thought that Sun Wukong would not dare to do anything to the children of the yellow robe monster, so she watched them go.

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Drifting Monk are going to deal with the yellow-robed monster, and ask Qi Chen to find Tang Seng.

Tang Seng was locked in an iron cage under the palace hall.Qi Chen cast a spell to make the guard fall asleep, trying to transform Tang Seng back, but found that he didn't know how to do this spell.

"Elder Tang, don't panic, we're here to save you!" She could only calm Tang Seng's emotions temporarily, "It's just that I won't transform you back. The Great Sage has already gone to fight the yellow-robed monster, and you can be rescued immediately. "

Tang Seng was speechless even after he turned into a tiger, and Qi Chen also felt bored watching him.The scene of arguing with Sun Wukong before is still vivid in her memory, she thinks now Sun Wukong must think that he is an extremely selfish person.But that's fine too.She sighed, at least Sun Wukong would devote himself to Buddha.

She sat down against the wall, looked at Tang Seng in front of her, and couldn't help asking: "Elder, you said—is it really that important to become a Buddha or an immortal?"

Tang Seng couldn't answer, but there was a sudden shaking, followed by the sound of footsteps.It turned out that Monkey King, Zhu Bajie and Drifting came to rescue Tang Seng!

Monkey King turned Tang Seng back to his original form with a sip of water.Tang Seng stared at him with wide eyes: "Just now Qi Chen said that Wukong came to save me, I was still puzzled, I didn't expect it to be true!"

Sun Wukong had a smile on his face: "If it's not my grandson, who else could it be? That idiot Bajie can't beat that yellow-robed monster!"

Looking at him, Qi Chen's nose felt a little sore, but he quickly suppressed that feeling.The Bodhisattva said - to become a fairy or a Buddha, controlling one's emotions is the most important thing.

The group was invited to the main hall by the king of Baoxiang Kingdom, and the king specially ordered the chef to cook a vegetarian banquet.After the banquet, Tang Seng thanked the king for his kindness, and the group went west again.

Qi Chen was walking beside Tang Seng, and suddenly he heard him say: "Qi Chen, you are asking me, is it important to become a fairy or a Buddha?" Qi Chen remembered that when Tang Seng became a tiger, he had asked Tang Seng a question. To think that he still remembers this incident.

Tang Seng took a breath: "People in the world want to become immortals because they can possess supreme magic power. But people in the world can't become immortals because they can't or don't want to let go of their seven emotions and six desires. It doesn't mean that being immortal is necessarily good. Different people pursue different things. Buddha is the same. What is the purpose of consummation of merit? It is for inner liberation, great compassion, and universal salvation. But this is not everyone’s vision. Some people are willing to suffer in the world of mortals because they feel that there is happiness in suffering. Liberation is the ultimate happiness, but many people do not want such happiness. Therefore, for them, becoming a fairy or a Buddha is not as good as being a human being."

Qi Chen sighed: "Thank you, Master."

She personally brought Journey to the West, which deviated from the main line, back on track, but now she finds that she still prefers the deviated line.

But it was too late.
