Chapter 32

Since the last time he came to the Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars,

Countless years had passed, and even the position of the grass at the door had not changed,

It made Wukong feel as if he had returned to the time when he first apprenticed.

He changed into the appearance of a woodcutter,

He recalled the past,

The cave door creaked open, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old immortal child walked out,

Seeing him, he said, "Cultivator,

My master said that he will not see you. You should leave. "

Wukong lowered his eyes and said, "I don't dare to ask to see the ancestor's true appearance,

I'm just a little confused,

I hope to receive the ancestor's guidance. "

The immortal child said, "My master said,

Your comprehension is extremely high,

You don't need anyone to guide you. When the time comes, you will comprehend it. "

Wukong's heart was filled with grief as he knelt in front of him,

He kowtowed, "Master."

The immortal child's expression was natural and he did not cower. "There is no master here."

Wukong said, "Disciple knows that he has caused a huge disaster,

I don't dare to implicate Master,

But now, I have already atoned for my sins with the Tang Seng in the Western Paradise, so I dare to see Master. "

The immortal child said, "Since you have already obtained the scriptures,

Why are you looking for my master again? "

Wukong said in a low voice, "Although I have already embarked on the right path,

But I still don't understand what happened.

Master,

What is the Heavenly Dao?

Is the essence of our search for the scriptures related to it? "

"Master said that the Heavenly Dao is impermanent, but it is constant.

"If you want to use the Five Elements Method to free yourself, it's not impossible. However, the Five Elements require too many opportunities. I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Wukong subconsciously touched his tight band.

"You have already obtained wood and earth. This is very good. The rest are not a big problem for you," the immortal child continued. "It's a pity that you will fail at one of the stages."

Wukong's heart sank. "I hope Master can give me some pointers."

"Don't be fooled by appearances," the immortal child said. "Master said that he will give you a word to help you. Open your palm."

Wukong did as he was told, and a golden word "She" appeared in his palm.

He clenched his hand and wanted to ask something, but he stopped.

The immortal child said, "Master is asking you, do you remember why I gave you such a name?"

"I dare not forget," Wukong said, "'Sun' is my original body, 'Wu' is the tenth generation's' Tong 'character." Only the "Kong" character had yet to be understood.

The celestial child said, "Master has given you a sentence. This is the original meaning of your name. I hope you will not disappoint his expectations."

He walked towards the entrance of the cave. His figure gradually disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only an empty sentence, "Go, don't come back in the future."

Wukong saw a piece of cloth fluttering to the ground. He picked it up and saw a sentence written on it: "At the beginning of the primordial world, there was no surname. To break the stubborn emptiness, Wukong was needed."

He carefully chewed and held back his tears. He kowtowed three times in the direction where the Fairy Child disappeared, then turned and left.

It was still early, and Xuanzang was probably not asleep yet. He might as well return to Mount Huaguo. As long as he could see that his clansmen were safe, he would be at ease.

Mount Huaguo was much more desolate than he remembered. The monkeys were scattered in twos and threes, hiding in caves and trees. When they saw him, they were first stunned, then quickly ran over, crying and shouting, surrounding him.

"When Grandpa Great Sage left, we had no one to rely on. Erlang Shen set fire to the mountain, and demons from all directions bullied us. Fortunately, Goddess Nine-tailed, Goddess White Bones, Goddess Pipa, and more than ten other goddesses protected us."

Ma Liu's second marshal wiped his tears and complained to Wukong, "Otherwise, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to see Grandpa Great Sage for the last time."

Wukong was angry and sighed, "None of my former brothers were willing to come forward."

As expected, things remain the same, but people have changed. Birds fly to the forest.

But where did so many goddesses come from?

"The kings have all left to form their own families."

Ben Ba's second general cried, "The other goddesses waited for more than two hundred years, but the Great Sage did not return. Gradually, they gave up and married. Only Goddess Nine-tailed and Goddess White Bones remained. Later on, they heard that the Great Sage accompanied a monk to seek scriptures. They said that they would wait for the Great Sage on the way to seek scriptures." As he spoke, he cast a sad gaze at Wukong. "Did the Great Sage meet the two goddesses?"

Wukong: "…" Not only did he meet one, he even killed one.

"But it's all good now. The Great Sage is back. We don't have to be afraid of anything!"

The four of them cried loudly. After they calmed down, they asked Wukong earnestly, "Has the Great Sage thought about which goddess to choose as his first wife?

Why don't you take both of them? They won't have any objections. If you ask us, it's better for a man to form a family. Only after forming a family can he settle down. Take the Great Ox King for example. Now that he has a wife and a child, he spends his days strolling and drinking. He doesn't care about worldly affairs and is living a more comfortable life than anyone else. "

Who would have thought that he would be urged to get married when he returned this time?

Under the longing gaze of his fellow tribesmen, Wukong said with difficulty, "I still have to complete the great task of seeking scriptures. If I don't complete it, the Bodhisattva won't let me go."

Cries of anguish sounded from all around.

"Since the Great Sage has something important to do, we can't force him. There will be a day when the Great Sage returns."

Ben Ba was more reasonable. "But before the Great Sage leaves, please allow us to send him off and have a drink to welcome him."

Wukong thought about how Xuanzang had said that he would wait for a day. This meal wouldn't be a problem, so he agreed.

The monkeys busied themselves. Not long after, a table of mountain fruits and delicacies was served. They also poured clear, fragrant, and sweet coconut wine.

Wukong drank it all in one gulp and smacked his lips. "The taste is a little different."

The monkeys laughed and said, "Great Sage, you've been away from home for so long that you've gotten used to eating rare delicacies outside. Naturally, you've forgotten about the crude delicacies at home." As they said that, they filled his cup again. "Great Sage, try again?"

Wukong didn't suspect anything. He drank one cup after another until he felt dizzy. He then felt that something was wrong. He held his forehead and said, "I didn't get drunk before. Why am I so strong now?"

The monkeys said, "The Great Sage has followed a monk. He probably doesn't touch alcohol anymore. It's not like before."

Wukong thought about it and agreed. He waved his hand and didn't drink anymore. He looked for a rattan bed and laid down, planning to rest for a while.

When he woke up, he felt refreshed. The monkeys surrounded him and asked, "Is the Great Sage feeling better?

Why don't you take us to practice and wake up? "

Wukong agreed. He led the monkeys to pick up the old weapons and practice with them. However, he was absent-minded. He always remembered that there was something important that he hadn't done and that someone was waiting for him.

He let the monkeys practice while he sat under the shade of a tree. He frowned and thought about it. Ma Liu Ben Ba saw this and quickly came over. "Why is the Great Sage unhappy?"

Wukong said, "I still have something to do but I can't remember." His intuition told him that if he didn't hurry back to that person's side, the consequences would be serious.

The four monkeys laughed. "Why is the Great Sage worrying about this? What's more important is to have fun!

You'll remember when the time comes. "

As they said that, they pulled Wukong to drink. Not long after, demons from other places heard the news and came to visit. For a moment, Mount Huaguo was very lively. Wukong couldn't forget about the things that he had forgotten.

However, he didn't know that before he returned, Jiu Jiao, who had come back from the dead, came to the Water Curtain Cave crying. When she saw the monkeys, she cried and complained that Wukong had changed his appearance and severely injured her. She also said that he would never return to Mount Huaguo. The monkeys were shocked.

Jiu Jiao said, "Today he went to find an old friend. He will definitely come back to visit on the way but he won't stay for long. If he leaves again, I'm afraid he won't come back."

The monkeys cried and heard her say, "So when he comes back this time, we must keep him.

I have a stalk of 'Heart Sucking Grass' here, it can make people forget their worries. Add a little bit of this to his food and let him eat it. It can make him forget about the scriptures and let him stay in Mount Huaguo with peace of mind. He can continue to be the Great Sage equal to heaven. "

The monkeys were shocked and doubtful, "Grandpa Great Sage will be unhappy …"

Jiu Jiao sneered and tore off the clothes on her shoulder, revealing the bloody wound. She then showed the eight tails, "I only advised him to come back but he was so cruel. He has already been bewitched by the Tang Seng and doesn't recognize his family anymore. Who cares if he is happy or not?

Could it be that you will only be satisfied when he slaughters the entire Mount Huaguo?

Only when he forgets about the scriptures can he return to normal. "

Only when the Great Sage stays and forgets about the scriptures can he return to normal …

Jiu Jiao saw that they were in a mess, so she gave an inconspicuous stalk of green grass to Ma Liu Benba who was still calm and said, "I will go and heal myself. Don't mention that I was here, otherwise he will definitely kill me."

The monkeys were trembling in fear as they sent her off.

When Wukong woke up early in the morning and did not return, Xuanzang could not help but feel disappointed. He asked for cloth from the Chen family and made new clothes for his disciple with peace of mind.

Ba Jie and Wujing sat in front of him obediently. Their big watery eyes were filled with anticipation.

As a master, he could not be too biased. Xuanzang made clothes for them first.

Because of the snow yesterday, the sky was still gloomy today. Xuanzang shuttled back and forth with a needle and thread, but his heartbeat was in a mess. No one knew what he was worried about.

He accidentally pricked his finger. Ba Jie Wujing, who was sitting obediently, panicked and hurriedly bandaged his finger. After all, Xuanzang's skin and flesh were very precious.

Xuanzang waved his hand and said that it was nothing. He sucked his finger in his mouth for a while before continuing. Ba Jie sighed secretly and pretended to be interested, "There is a pile of snow outside. Everyone is having fun. Master, don't you want to go out and take a look?

Don't burn your eyes. "

Xuanzang also felt that his eyes were a little tired. He rubbed his eyes, put on his cotton-padded jacket and gloves, and went out to enjoy the snow with his disciples.

Outside, there were piles of fine jade. Heaven and earth were indistinguishable. The Chen family saw that he was about to come out and hurriedly swept out a path to prevent him from slipping.

The road was a little slippery. Xuanzang walked carefully. He saw Ba Jie smiling and stuffing a ball of snow into Wujing's neck. Wujing angrily fought back. The two of them opened up. The snowball hit him and exploded into a cloud of powder.

Xuanzang watched the fun and also wanted to play. However, he was used to his identity and did not want to show his childish nature in front of others. He thought that if Wukong was here, he could play with him for a while.

However, he did not notice that he was stepping on a piece of ice. Ba Jie and Wujing ran far away and did not care about him. Just as he was about to slip, a golden light suddenly flashed in front of him and caught him. That person had a smile on his face, "Master, you are careless. You can even fall while walking."
