Li Ye and his party traveled day and night, and when they approached Huaguo Mountain, the monkey returned to silence.
He looked at the mountain without speaking, his eyes were empty.
The mountain is huge, stretching for thousands of miles, and the monkey is very small, no more than six feet tall.
Li Ye remembered that when Houzi was in Qingzhou, he liked to go to the streets, especially in the afternoon. At that time, he walked slowly along the long street, his back was very long, cast on the wall, it was curved. He often squatted by the river and bridge to quarrel with young women.
Most of the time, the women couldn't stand his harsh words, and would run away crying. Sometimes, the women didn't even have a chance to cry, and would be directly stunned. At this time, the monkey would shake his head and say, boring.
Li Ye noticed that when the monkey said this, there was a touch of melancholy in his eyes, and there was a trace of reminiscence in the melancholy. Li Ye didn't understand why the monkey liked this, at first he thought the monkey just stayed in the barren hills for too long and wanted to have some fun.
But Li Ye knew that even if the monkey quarreled with people, it was not happy, he was even in pain. It's just that this pain is not easy to be known. One day, when the sun was setting, when Li Ye saw the monkey earnestly searching for the "prey", he suddenly realized that there was already a figure in the eyes of the monkey.
He just wanted to find someone similar to those hidden in his eyes and buried in his heart in those women, even if it was just a familiar breath. But unfortunately, the monkey is destined not to be found. He seems to enjoy it, but in fact he is in pain and cannot extricate himself.
There are many stories about monkeys, but Li Ye found that he didn't understand them.
But then it was different from now.
The monkey looked at Huaguo Mountain with empty eyes. There was no figure in it, not even the shadow of a monkey.
There are no monkey soldiers and monkey generals in the 100,000 mountains, and there are not even half a wild monkey. It turned out that it wasn't the monkey's eyes that were empty, but Huaguo Mountain was empty.
Li Ye is not surprised, Xianting has been guarding against monkeys, no matter before or after learning the scriptures. Without the monkey grandson in Huaguo Mountain, the Monkey King would no longer be able to harm the Immortal Court.
For a hundred years, monkeys have been sitting on rocky mountains all day long. Li Ye should have understood that no one can sit for a hundred years. The monkey is not sitting dry, but sleeping. Only when he sleeps can he dream and see Zeng Jin who has been lost, and continue to play and play with his monkey grandson.
For a hundred years, the monkey has woken up as many times as he has dreamed. As much as he laughed in the dream, he will suffer as much after waking up. He is a stone monkey, not a stone, so it is impossible to sit there all the time. Stone doesn't have a heart, but he does. If there is a heart, there will be emotions. When the emotions can't be restrained, they will explode sooner or later.
So a hundred years later, Li Ye saw the monkey.
The monkey landed on the canopy of a giant tree. He pointed to the densely forested hillside in front of him and said, "Zeng Jin, this is a school field. There are many monkeys dancing spears and sticks here, practicing martial arts for many years."
Li Ye looked in the direction the monkey pointed, and there was only a forest with luxuriant branches and leaves in front of him, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, with three feet of rotten leaves. Where is there still half a ghost
The monkey said: "I used to think that there are always some things in this world that will last forever. Even if the stars change, they will always exist. Then I realized that no matter how many demons have been to the place, ten years of hustle and bustle are no match for time." With the passage of time, everything will eventually return to desolation.”
Li Ye and You Daxiao looked at the dense forest, speechless.
The monkey smiled suddenly, and described it as bleak, "Many years ago, someone called me the Monkey King, and many years later, someone called me Fighting the Buddha. In fact, whether it is the Monkey King or the Fighting Buddha, It's all just a joke."
"I once had a dream. In the dream, after I became a Buddha, there were no demons in the world. I sat on the nine-fold lotus seat all day long and meditated for thousands of years. My heart was as calm as ancient waves. Then one day, I went to the meeting When I passed a mountain, the mountain was overgrown with weeds and was barren. For some reason, I thought it looked familiar. The boy told me that it was called Huaguo Mountain. Then I suddenly realized. It turns out that I have also fought against the sky, and with The beauties watched the flowers bloom and fall side by side." Li Ye was startled.
The monkey sat down cross-legged on the canopy of the tree. The view here was good. He was fascinated by the green hills not far away.
After a long time, he said slowly: "Before learning the scriptures, I was young and ignorant. I thought that I was so powerful that I could even step on the feet of the fairyland. I made a big noise in the fairy court and became famous for a while. I thought I could be equal to the sky. Later, I was crushed under the Five Fingers Mountain , The Immortal Emperor sent someone to ask me if I knew my mistake, and I said yes, so they went back satisfied."
"They thought I knew it was a mistake to offend Xianting. In fact, I just regretted that too many monkeys in Huaguoshan died. I also regretted that in that battle, I killed the fairy who was pure and flawless. After that battle , The Immortal Court seals the demons, the Holy Buddha suppresses the demons, the demon clan and I have been silent for five hundred years."
"Five hundred years later, a white-faced monk came to Wuzhi Mountain and told me that if I could worship him as a teacher, convert to Shimen, and protect him to obtain the Western Scriptures, I would have great merit and virtue, which would be enough to offset my past sins. I believed it, and ten Eighty thousand miles, one step at a time, devout day and night."
"Later, when I arrived in Xitian, the monk took the scriptures, and the holy Buddha named me the Buddha of Fighting Victory. I was very happy. The white-faced monk thought I was happy for my fame, but I was not. I was just happy to be able to return to Huaguoshan. I have already I am no longer young, I have lost all thoughts of competing for supremacy, and I just want to be happy with monkeys and grandchildren."
"I went back to Mount Huaguo, but the mountain was empty. I searched every inch of the land, but there was not a single monkey. The monk once said that if I helped him obtain the Western Scripture, he would be able to wash away his sins. He lied to me. If the crime is really cleared up, why are there no monkeys here?"
"I went to the monk to discuss the theory, but he sat high on the nine-fold lotus platform, clasped his hands, and closed his eyes without speaking. I went to the holy Buddha, but I couldn't even enter the Buddha's realm. I went to the immortal emperor, but was stopped at the Nantianmen Outside. I have nowhere to go but come back here."
"I am sitting here, knowing that my sins cannot be washed away, so I can only guard the tomb for my monkey grandson. Now I have guarded the tomb for a hundred years, and the iron bars are already rusted, which is enough."
"I want to step on the fairy court again, to see the tombstone of the fairy. I also want to go to the West Paradise again, and pull that white-faced monk off the lotus seat, and make him pay the price for deceiving me. I have never become a fairy in my life, and even more so Not a Buddha. They won't have my name on their roster, and I don't even bother to have my name on it."
"I am a monster monkey, so I will do what a monster monkey should do!"
The monkey stood up and looked at Li Ye: "My story is over, how about yours?"
...
Li Ye looked at the empty mountain and spoke calmly: "I don't have any stories. Some people say that I was Liu Xie in my previous life, some people said that I was Fusu in my previous life, and some said that I was destined to be the king of subjugation. If you don’t believe me, I only believe in the path under my feet, and only I can walk it.”
The monkey smiled and applauded, and praised: "This is reasonable. What kind of Taoist heart and Buddha heart are all farting from people who stand tall. They think that others must believe what they say. But no matter how much they say It sounds good, but it’s just farting, even if it smells better, it still smells like shit after all. Whether you’re a human or a monster, you only have one heart, and that’s your own heart.”
Having said that, the monkey looked at Yoda Owl.
Youda Xiao pondered seriously for a moment, then said slowly with a solemn face: "My story..."
"I'm not interested in your story." The monkey waved his hand and flew to the mountain first.
Yoda looked at the back of the monkey and opened his mouth, unable to say a word: I am not interested in my story, what do you think I am doing? !
Li Ye patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously: "It's okay, I know you are a deep monster with a story."
Yoda Xiao was overjoyed: "Then let me tell you."
Li Ye also flew away, chasing the monkey: "It's good that you know it yourself, you don't need to say it."
Yoda Owl: "..."
Why don't I need to say it? You all spoke so earnestly, and I listened so carefully, why can only I know my story? !
Li Ye followed behind the monkey and came to the sky above the big bluestone on the top of the mountain.
He thought Wu You was still in the cave, but no, a petite figure was walking on the big bluestone.
She was wearing a goose-yellow cross-neck skirt, and she still had that demure and lively look, and her figure looked slimmer than when she was in Chang'an.
When her body was destroyed, she was already in her twenties, but now her body looks like a cardamom at most.
However, even with a petite body at the age of cardamom, Li Ye recognized her at a glance, he was too familiar with her. The sun shines on her shoulders, everything seems like yesterday.
It's just that the princess's walking posture looks a little weird, like diving into a puddle, swaying left and right, a little stiff, like a landlubber.
Seeing Li Ye looking over suspiciously, Monkey said awkwardly, "She's not very familiar with this body, so it's normal that she can't control it well."
Before the words finished, there was a sudden noise from the big bluestone, Li Ye turned his head to look, and immediately stood there in a daze.
Wu You, who was walking normally on the big bluestone just now, was already standing in a big pit.
There was originally a protruding piece of bluestone. From the corner of his eyes, Li Ye vaguely saw that Wu You had jumped on it, but when he fell, the mountain shook violently. Then the lime cloud rose and the gravel flew, and then she was in this stone pit with a radius of several feet.
Li Ye swallowed hard, and said to the monkey in disbelief: "Great Sage, this is what you said that you can't control your body temporarily? What did you use to reshape her physical body?"
That bluestone is granite, very solid, this power, to say the least, can be compared to a blow from a fairyland.
And she just jumped up lightly, then fell in the air...
The monkey raised his chin proudly, "As I said, I want to reshape the princess with a physical body that is not inferior to Nezha... Even if she doesn't use her spiritual energy, the strength of her physical body alone is enough to split the mountain." ocean!"
Li Ye remained silent.
When the monkeys make trouble in the fairy court, it is the realm of Daluo Jinxian. After learning the scriptures, it is said that he reached the Quasi-Holy Realm. Although no one can confirm it, it must be different from the ordinary Daluo Jinxian. With his current strength, he would naturally not lose to Nezha who reshaped his body.
He weighed it over, if Wu You shot with all his strength at this moment, he would never dare to take it.
Wu You was stunned for a long time in the stone pit, with a dazed look, probably because he hadn't figured out the situation yet. When she came back to her senses, she immediately crawled out of the stone pit. She really crawled out, using both hands and feet, and seemed to be walking with difficulty, obviously trying to control her strength.
Li Ye felt that she was afraid of tearing down the mountain.
"When will the princess be able to fully adapt to this physical body?" Li Ye secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Wu You's face. The appearance is still the same, and it looks more delicate, almost like a porcelain doll. When people see it, they can't help but hold it in their hands, for fear that she will fall.
The monkey stroked his chin and pondered: "It depends on the princess herself. She still can't fully control this body because of the lack of soul-suppressing orbs. When you get that from the lion Thing, let the princess swallow it, then you're done."
Li Ye nodded, stopped arguing with the monkey, and came down from the clouds to Wu You.
"Brother Ye?!" Wu You had just climbed to the edge of the pit and was patting the lime in his hands. When he looked up and saw Li Ye, he immediately opened his bright and vivid eyes wide, as if dreaming in surprise.
Li Ye smiled gently: "It's me, I'll take you away."
Wu You's small face immediately burst into a smile that was more beautiful than the sun, purer than the morning dewdrops. She ran out excitedly, rushing towards Li Ye's embrace like a lark.

Then... Li Ye crashed into the grotto without accident, collapsing half of the mountain.
