The Monkey King

The night wind blew slowly.

In the silent valley, the shadow of the moon swayed with the branches and leaves.

Qingxin and Puxian looked at each other quietly from a distance of hundreds of feet. Yuxuan, who was standing behind Qingxin, held the magic weapon tightly and was very energetic.

The monk whose throat was held by Qing Xin with a sword was already trembling with fear, and turned his face slightly to look at Puxian for help.

After a long time, Puxian suddenly laughed: "There is no flaw in the illusion. The flaw lies in the person who casts the spell. That's it. However, Qingxin Donor has never stayed in other places except Xianyue Sanxing Cave and Tushita Palace. He actually knows Which of these are Xiniu Hezhou's specialties and which are not, are really valuable."

"Have you forgotten that I once had a master who knew everything and was omnipotent?" Qing Xin raised the long sword in her hand, and the tip of the sword against the monk's throat was slightly tighter, and she said with a smile: "Say it, Tangtang What is the purpose of the Western Samantabhadra to create a maze for an unworldly little girl like me?"

"Qingxin Donor is overly worried. In fact, there is no purpose." Puxian said calmly: "I just want to discuss Buddhist scriptures with the Donor, but I am afraid that the Donor will have doubts."

"Oh? Since it has no purpose for me, what purpose does it have for my senior brother?" Qingxin asked immediately.

Pu Xian still had that calm look on his face and said softly: "It seems that Qingxin Almsgiver has a deep prejudice against poor monks."

Qingxin took a deep breath and said leisurely: "Don't blame others for their prejudices when creating this kind of maze. Now that you have been seen through, tell me, will you leave on your own. Or will you have a good fight?"

After saying this, Puxian was immediately stunned. Even Yu Xuan, who was standing behind Qing Xin, couldn't help but open her eyes wide and looked at Qing Xin with a stern face in astonishment.

You must know that Samantabhadra is one of the top figures in the West. In terms of strength, he is not far behind Zhen Yuanzi.

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

A good while. Pu Xian straightened his expression and said: "What is the chance of winning when a pure benefactor fights against a poor monk?"

"To be honest, 30%."

"A fight at 30% is too much, isn't it?"

Qingxin slowly stretched out three fingers, holding two pill-sized spheres, one blue and one white, between them, and said softly: "However, Qingxin is 100% sure that she can hold on until the two masters arrive."

Subhuti and Taishang Laojun arrived together...

Hear the words. The corners of Puxian's mouth suddenly twitched slightly.

This means triggering a war between Buddhism and Taoism...

He hesitated a little. He pursed his lips, backed away slowly, and said softly: "In this case, I'll say goodbye to you, I'll see you later."

After saying that, it turned into a wisp of smoke and dissipated in the wind.

Seeing this, Qingxin slowly moved away the sword tip that was pressing against the monk's throat. Both monks put their hands together. He bowed and saluted Qingxin, then turned into two golden lights and disappeared into the sky.

As soon as they left, Yuxuan immediately collapsed on the ground, clutching her chest and breathing heavily.

Beads of sweat fell down drop by drop on his forehead.

"What if... what if he really accepted the challenge just now?"

"Fight if you accept the challenge." Qingxin put the long sword into its sheath with a clang, turned around and stretched out one hand to grab Yuxuan's arm, pulled her up from the ground, and asked softly: "Are you okay?"

Yuxuan shook her head slowly. Looking at Qing Xin who looked calm and composed with some anxiety, he asked in a low voice: "Are you... not afraid at all?"

"A little bit."

"A bit?" Yuxuan couldn't help but frowned.

The two were silent for a long time, and Yu Xuan asked in a low voice: "How about we go back? Senior Brother Yu Yi also said that if Senior Uncle Wukong comes out of the mountain this time, he may have another dispute with Buddhism. What if. What if we accidentally get involved..."

"Are you scared?" Qingxin asked softly.

"Aren't you a little scared too?" Yuxuan asked immediately.

Pursing her lips and thinking for a moment, Qingxin raised her head and said, "Master taught me a truth..."

"Which master?"

"Tai Shang Laojun." Qingxin cleared her throat and said: "Master said that fear cannot solve the problem, and may even worsen the situation, because what the opponent likes most is to deal with people who have scruples. As long as you are afraid, It means that he can be unscrupulous to you. Now that Senior Brother Wukong dares to ask for anything from Heaven, isn't it because he knows that Heaven is afraid of him? Even if he doesn't take action now, it's just because the time is not ripe. If you are not afraid, then the other party must do it before taking action Let’s consider the consequences of irritating you first.”

Yuxuan's eyes slowly narrowed into slits, and she pouted, "But 'fearless' may put you in danger without even knowing it."

Qingxin smiled and said cheerfully: "Don't worry, since the other party chose to use illusion to confuse us at the beginning, it means that their goal cannot be achieved by force alone. We have now seen through it and are vigilant. They I won’t be asking for trouble for the time being.”

Saying that, Qingxin began to look around.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Keep waiting." Qingxin sighed lightly and said, "Since I'm here, I have to meet before I leave. There are some things that I still have to inform Senior Brother Wukong. After all, we are from the same sect."

…

Fifty miles away, the monkey was hanging in the air and looking ahead.

"What's the matter?" Xuanzang asked softly as he passed by on a white horse.

The monkey slowly landed next to Xuanzang, took the reins and said, "Someone used a large-scale magic spell, but it has been dispelled. It seems to be something like Buddhist illusion."

"How far?"

"About fifty miles away. In fact, I felt it yesterday, but I'm just not sure. There are no Taoist temples, no monsters, and not even human city-states in this area. It may be an ambush set against us." As he said that, the monkey looked up. The head shouted: "Cheer up, there may be an ambush nearby!"

Canopy, who was walking in front and carrying a nine-tooth nail rake, slowly turned back to look at the monkey, while the little white dragon behind him had his eyes widened in fear.

"Is there an ambush? What kind of ambush?"

"Just pay attention, no matter what the ambush is? The soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth!"

In the deserted mountains, the group of people was still moving forward slowly.

They walked a distance of fifty miles until the afternoon of the third day, and spent another night sleeping in the mountains and forests.

When we arrived at the valley, the sunshine was warm and soft.

What is displayed before everyone's eyes is a dozen or so houses in a well-proportioned manner, farmers working in the fields in twos and threes, and children playing by the stream.

Looking at the village, the monkey couldn't help but frown.

"The large-scale magic that the Great Sage mentioned before is here?"

"It's right here, but..." Monkey suddenly became a little unsure.

It would be fine to say that the perceived location was in the wilderness, but was it actually a village?

How could someone in such an ordinary village cast any magic? If the village itself was a so-called Buddhist illusion, why couldn't he see any clues?

Could it be that the Tathagata came in person?

After hesitating for a long time, the monkey raised his head and looked at Xuanzang on the horse and said, "How about we go around it?" (To be continued ~^~)
