[Journey to the West] Show mercy

?A forest blocked the way of the group.This forest is a sea of ​​green, so dense that no sunlight can penetrate it, and it is almost impossible to see the road ahead when entering.Qi Shen used spells to gather a ray of light, barely illuminating some paths like a lantern.But instead of saying that what she illuminates is the road, it is better to say that what she illuminates is only the soil with scattered leaves.

There is no road in this black forest at all.

Tang Seng felt that the road ahead was long and far away, so he sent Monkey King to see how far the forest was before it ended.Monkey King soared into the sky and disappeared instantly.

Zhu Bajie panted beside him: "It's really terribly dark here, like a hellish hell."

"The underworld is still a little bright," Drifting continued, "there isn't even a ray of light here."

"It's so dark here, I want to sleep." Qi Chen yawned, "I don't know how long it will take to get to the end. It's abnormally dark here, there won't be any monsters."

Tang Seng said "Amitabha", seeing the worried faces of Zhu Bajie and Sand Monk, he said: "The monks have a righteous heart and should not be afraid of that demon."

Qi Chen rolled his eyes in the darkness: Every time there are monsters, isn't Tang Seng the most frightened?

A few people sat on the ground, chatting occasionally, and an hour passed like this, but Monkey King has not returned yet.Tang Seng couldn't help but said: "Bajie, go and see if Wukong is in trouble. Why hasn't he come back yet? No matter how big this forest is, it shouldn't be like this. With his speed, he should reach Bodhisattva's place in an hour. The place is back."

Zhu Bajie took the order, carried the nail rake on his shoulders and left.He took two steps and kicked the ground and flew up, his ears were as big as cattail leaves, and disappeared through the leaves.Drifting couldn't help worrying: "It's not like the second senior brother won't come back for a while, right?"

Qi Chen told him to shut up quickly, lest his crow's mouth would cause trouble.Tang Seng also told Qi Chen not to be superstitious about these things, since she is a Taoist cultivator, she should believe in the power of people.

Qi Shen twitched the corners of her mouth again: Tang Seng's words are really interesting.

But the most worrying thing happened.After another hour, Zhu Bajie didn't come back either.Tang Seng felt a little thirsty, so he asked Drifting if he could go nearby to see if there was any water, and look for two people by the way.If you can't find it, it's better to come back as soon as possible.

Just like that, Qi Shen and Tang Seng stayed where they were.She was worried at first whether Tang Seng would chant scriptures beside him, but he seemed too thirsty and had no time to make any noise.Qi Shen suddenly remembered that the forest here is impenetrable, it is very likely that Monkey King can't find his original place now, and he is wandering in the sky.Thinking about it, she planned to change a spell and make a mark in the air so that he could find it quickly.

After thinking about it, she turned her head and told Tang Seng what she wanted, without stopping her hands.Soon, a red firework rose into the sky, passed through the leaves, and exploded in the air.Tang Seng did not speak from beginning to end.

"Elder, so they should be able to find it soon...Elder? Are you uncomfortable? Why don't you speak?"

Qi Chen turned his head, and with a ray of light in his hand, he saw that there was only a white dragon horse left behind, and Tang Seng had disappeared.She was so frightened that she sat down on the ground—how could the scene where these people disappeared one by one be so similar to the ghost story Monkey King told her a few days ago?

She hurried over and patted Bai Longma's nose and asked him where Tang Seng had gone, but he just shook his head, expressing that he didn't know either.Qi Shen looked around again, but Tang Seng was still nowhere to be seen.When she finally returned to the original place - the white dragon horse was gone.

She was left alone.

Qi Shen couldn't think of an explanation other than monsters causing trouble.She thinks the most urgent thing is to call Monkey King and Zhu Bajie back.They are in the air, the monster may not catch them.And if Sun Wukong meets a monster, he must still be fighting with him at this time, and the monster should not have time to catch Tang Seng for a while—unless there are several monsters.

She shuddered at the thought, and shot brightly colored fireworks overhead.The only thing she can do now is to choose the color of the fireworks and find a better color.Unexpectedly, no one appeared after she fired the signal continuously for almost an hour, and the magic power in her body was almost exhausted.

She suddenly began to panic really, but she didn't know what to do but wait where she was.She sat under the tree and scratched her hair anxiously, messing up the combed bun.The consequence of her hair falling down was that sleepiness hit her in bursts, and she couldn't help but fell asleep.

She suddenly entered a very familiar dream.This dream is familiar because it is so close to reality.

In the dream, they were going to Lingshan to learn scriptures.However, different from the reality, Lingshan is already in sight.Lingshan has beautiful scenery, shaded by pines and cypresses, and all the people at the foot of the mountain are practicing and chanting scriptures, creating a peaceful scene.They quickened their pace and arrived at the gate of Leiyin Temple before they knew it.This Leiyin Temple is really a fairyland. The flowers, plants and trees all have auras. Immortal apes wander in the mountains to eat peaches and fruits, and white cranes stroll leisurely by the water.There are golden tiles on the temple, carved with exquisite patterns; the Buddhist scriptures pavilion is faintly visible, shining with Xiaguang.

Tang Seng first bowed in front of the gate of Leiyin Temple and sighed: "What a wonderful scene!" Then he led a group of people into the temple.As soon as they entered the temple, they were greeted by the Four King Kong: "Holy Monk." Tang Seng bowed to them.The four kings reported the news to the four kings of the second gate, and the second gate reported to the third gate, and then notified the Tathagata Buddha.

Not long after, two venerables came from a distance. They turned out to be Ananda and Kasyapa, the disciples of the Buddha.They led a group of people downstairs to have a fast feast, there were fairy fruits, fairy tea, and all kinds of delicacies, and everyone ate with great joy.Qi Chen tasted a fairy peach, and felt that this peach was different from the fairy peaches he ate in Heavenly Court before.

After eating the fast, the two venerables brought several people to the Sutra Pavilion and gave all the scriptures to Tang Seng.They put the books in place, thanked the Buddha and went back.This time and again, the Eight Great Vajras used the wind to send them back to Chang'an. After the monk Tang presented the scriptures to the emperor, another gust of wind brought them back to Leiyin Temple in Lingshan.Before Qi Shen could sigh at the speed, he remembered—Tang Seng, Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, and Drifting Monk were about to be consecrated as Buddhas, and he was about to release the seal, complete his soul, and return to the class of immortals.

That's all, the dust has settled.One fairy and one Buddha are hard to meet again.

She looked at Sun Wukong and found that he was also looking at her at the same time.The four looked at each other for a moment.Qi Chen said nothing, carefully looked away, just looked down at his fingers, the veins on his forehead throbbed suddenly, as if a bottomless hole suddenly opened in his heart, inside was the fear of swallowing everything.

Faced with the Buddha, the Buddha still smiled, and canonized Tang Seng, Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, Drifting Monk, and Bailongma as Buddhas in turn.The Buddha looked at Qi Chen again, she knew that her fate was over, she took a deep breath, and waited for the Buddha to speak.

"Qi Chen, you are the Zixia Fairy in the Heavenly Court. You suffered a disaster and your soul was damaged, and your mana was sealed. Now that the journey to the west has unlocked most of the seals in your body, I will help you unlock the seals and restore your soul. Return to the fairyland."

Qi Chen knelt down to thank him, and felt his body lighten, as if a shackle had been taken away, and felt a tingling feeling of life spreading all over his body, like the fusion of soul and body.Everyone kowtowed again to express their thanks, went down the mountain, and removed the mana from the white dragon horse to change him back into a white dragon.Sun Wukong was overjoyed for a while when he found that the tightness on his head was gone.Qi Chen sighed and looked up at the sky.

Here is the ending, the best ending she has always dreamed of.

But why did she feel unhappy at all?On the contrary, my heart seemed to be strangled by something, and a few drops of blood were squeezed out, but I couldn't find the pain point, but the whole body was in a dull pain, and even my vision was a little blurred.She raised her hand to touch her eyes, only to realize that they were full of tears.

Zhu Bajie asked her why she was crying, but she just said that she finally returned to the fairy body, and she was so happy that she burst into tears.After all, she cried even harder, tears covering her face.She hurriedly wiped it off, making her face covered in stains, but a smile came out of her mouth.

She remembered the dream she had had before.In it, she persuaded Monkey King to stay in Huaguo Mountain, but in the end she regretted her behavior deeply.Now she seems to regret it too—there was never a right choice.

Then let the choice she makes now be the right choice.

Qi Chen stood in front of the four people and bowed to them: "Everyone, since I've recovered my immortal body, I'm going back to the Heavenly Court. Congratulations to all of you who have achieved positive results, then I will bid farewell here."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Sun Wukong, who also stared at her, and finally Sun Wukong looked away.

"Then...that's it." Qi Chen forced herself to smile, "Everyone has something to do in the future, Qi Chen will definitely not hesitate to do so."

Turning around, tears fell like rain here. ?
