The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 64 0064, slap a jujube

Brother Monkey and I went back to Dongsheng Shenzhou, but did not go to Huaguo Mountain.Brother Hou didn't know what he was thinking, but he just didn't agree to go back to Huaguo Mountain.The two of us have been staying at the seaside next to Sunjiazhuang, and every day besides sitting by the seaside, we are still in a daze.I know Brother Hou has something on his mind, but I don't know how to persuade him.

Tang Seng drove him away. After all, both of them were responsible for this matter.Brother Hou knew that Tang Seng was the most taboo of killing, but he killed several mortals in front of Tang Seng.Although they deserve what they deserve, karma has its own retribution.He violated Tang Seng's principles, and he naturally fell to the current end.

Seeing a white cloud floating in the sky, I immediately hid in Brother Monkey's ear.I don't belong to this world, I don't want anyone else to know my existence except Brother Monkey.

Guanyin Bodhisattva came to look for Monkey Brother, and she had two purposes for this trip.

First, let Monkey go back and continue to accompany Tang Seng to the West to learn scriptures.

Second, let Monkey Brother agree to listen to Tang Seng's words in the future, and stop being arrogant.

The former monkey brother can agree immediately, but the second request is a bit difficult.After all, Brother Hou's nature is such that he really makes him obey Tang Seng's arrangement in everything, I'm afraid Brother Hou can't stand it after a long time.

There is no room for maneuver in this matter, Brother Monkey must agree to both things.This is the bottom line of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and it is also the only request she made to Brother Hou.

Guanyin Bodhisattva did not urge Brother Hou to make a decision, but looked across the East China Sea.There is a mountain of flowers and fruits full of aura, and there are a group of carefree monkeys on the mountain.It is a blessed place that is rare in a thousand years, with mountains and rivers and pleasant scenery, it is a rare geomantic treasure.

Brother Hou frowned and asked, "Don't tell me you want to blackmail me with the brothers from Huaguoshan again?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva shook his head with a smile, and sighed, "Wukong, you are wrong. I never thought of blackmailing you with your brothers from Huaguoshan. Even the Buddha never did this. It was you who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace. Only then will it arouse the wrath of the Jade Emperor. He will destroy Huaguo Mountain at all costs and drive out your gang of brothers."

Everyone in the world knows the ins and outs of that story, including me of course.When I was very young, I knew it by heart. Brother Hou made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, and then the Jade Emperor sent [-] heavenly soldiers to encircle Huaguo Mountain.

Sitting on the lotus platform, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva smiled and said with a jade bottle in his hand: "That is the cause you planted yourself. Everything you encounter now is the result of those causes. No one forces you to do anything. Everything is of your own free will, isn't it?"

Brother Hou shook his head lightly, he couldn't find any reason to refute Guanyin Bodhisattva.Not because he agrees with those words, but because all this is indeed a causal loop.From his apprenticeship to the appointment of an official in heaven, from his disturbance in the heavenly palace to his being crushed under the Five Elements Mountain, all these are like a cycle of cause and effect.

However, what if you string these together.Brother Hou thought about this question more than once, but he didn't dare to speculate further.After all, he is just a person, no matter what kind of truth he knows, in the end he can't subvert anything.Just like the riots in the Heavenly Palace at the beginning, it was not suppressed by the Buddha under the Five Elements Mountain in the end.

Although he was careless that time, but if you lose, you lose, even if you find 1 reasons, you still lose.He looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva with a gentle smile on his face, and nodded bitterly.He can accompany Tang Seng to complete the task of learning Buddhist scriptures from the West, but he can't promise to listen to Tang Seng for everything.

In the end, Guanyin Bodhisattva thought of a compromise, although I reminded Brother Monkey again and again that he must not agree to Guanyin Bodhisattva's proposal.But Brother Hou didn't listen to me at all, and insisted on agreeing to Guanyin Bodhisattva's proposal.

Back to Tang Seng, Monkey Brother took the hat from Tang Seng.I know what it is, Guanyin Bodhisattva knows what it is, even Tang Seng was told the truth.Is it only Brother Monkey who doesn't know?No, in fact, Brother Hou knew earlier than anyone else that there must be such a thing, and he needs to be restrained so as not to hurt the learners.

A hat that looks very beautiful, changed shape after being worn by Brother Monkey.It was a gold hoop, glistening in the sun.Tang Seng immediately recited the scriptures taught to him by the Bodhisattva, and Brother Monkey rolled all over the floor with his head in his arms.He certainly didn't expect that Tang Seng would give him his power so quickly.

This golden hoop has an extraordinary origin. It was originally pasted on the Five Elements Mountain and obtained the Buddha's seal.It can make Brother Hou feel miserable, but it can also make him forget some troubles.For example, some things he doesn't want to remember, he can't remember them anymore after wearing the golden hoop.It can be regarded as a mixed blessing, although it seems a bit more harmful than beneficial.

After sending off the Bodhisattva, Brother Hou led the horse and Tang Seng sat on the horse leisurely.I leaned against Brother Monkey's ear wall and chatted with Brother Monkey using ventriloquist.I reminded him not to wear that hat, but he never listened to me.It's all right now, after wearing the golden hoop that can't be taken off, I won't be so free in the future.

As night fell, Tang Seng was already sound asleep in the house, but Brother Hou tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.He jumped to the roof and looked up at the starry sky, facing the direction of Huaguo Mountain.You can guess without asking, he must be missing those Huaguoshan brothers.In fact, I have always wanted to ask Brother Hou, if he was allowed to choose again, would he choose to stay in Huaguoshan instead of going out to learn from a teacher.

The sky is full of stars, and I have imagined that someone will accompany me to watch the stars.But even if he daydreamed a hundred times, he would never have imagined that he would be able to watch the stars with Brother Monkey.

"Ugh!"

After sighing softly, Brother Hou lay on the roof with his hands behind his head.With grass roots in his mouth, his eyes are fixed on the twinkling starry sky.I imitated Brother Monkey and lay down beside Brother Monkey.The roof is made of straw mixed with mud, and it is very comfortable to lie on.If it is not a little high, it is indeed a good place to sleep.

Brother Monkey looked at the starry sky, and I looked at Brother Monkey.It lasted for more than half an hour, and Brother Hou, who sensed my doubts, finally spoke.I know he has a lot of things on his mind, and I will never ask if he doesn't tell, but I hope he can think of me when he wants to talk.I would like to be Brother Monkey's most loyal listener, hoping to know what he thinks.

"If I don't agree to wear the golden hoop, do you think the Bodhisattva will not tell the Buddha?"

Brother Hou said helplessly: "If I don't agree to go back and accompany the Buddhist scriptures to complete the task of traveling westward for a hundred and eight thousand miles, what do you think the Buddha will do to me?"

"If I lose the protection of the Buddha, what do you think the gods in Heaven will do to Huaguo Mountain?"

Brother Hou's three questions left me speechless.I really didn't think much about it, and didn't consider these three questions asked by Brother Monkey.It's right to think about it carefully. At the beginning when Tianting sent troops and stopped encircling Huaguo Mountain, a large part of the reason was that they didn't want to waste energy on Brother Hou.

One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and the gods from all directions failed to take Brother Monkey down in the end, and let Brother Monkey disturb the Queen Mother's peach event.He stole so many elixir from Taishang Laojun, and finally overturned the alchemy furnace of Tiantian Laojun.He smashed the signboard of Nantianmen in front of the gods, such shameful things made the Jade Emperor lose face.

Even being suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain by the Buddha for 500 years, it still cannot eliminate the hatred of the Jade Emperor and the gods of heaven towards Brother Monkey.They already hated Brother Monkey from the bottom of their hearts, but they didn't have the skills to challenge Brother Monkey.The only one who has the ability to challenge is naturally the Jade Emperor who commands the gods in the heaven.

If he does not agree to the suggestion made by Guanyin Bodhisattva, then the most direct consequence will be where he comes and goes.At that time, he will not belong to the Buddhist sect, and the Heavenly Court will encircle and suppress Huaguo Mountain.If that time really comes, how long can he hold on alone.

Furthermore, he is a person with great promises, and since he promised the Buddha, he will definitely do it.It is only natural to be willing to gamble and lose, he can't hob, let alone play tricks.The road to the west is hundreds of thousands of miles, and since he agreed, he will definitely accompany Tang Seng on the journey.Now that he was afraid that he would not be controlled and asked him to wear a golden hoop, he also acquiesced.

This is not because Brother Hou is afraid of Tang Seng, let alone because he is convinced by the Buddha.It's just that he is not like he was when he was causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace. Now he needs to put himself in the shoes of the brothers in Huaguo Mountain.What's more, there will be more monkeys and grandchildren in Huaguo Mountain.

He has always regarded Huaguo Mountain as his home, and the monkeys on Huaguo Mountain as his family.At the beginning, he could fight against the entire heaven for them, and naturally he could also make concessions for them.The Buddha asked him to accompany the Buddhist scriptures to go westward for hundreds of thousands of miles, and he agreed, and the Guanyin Bodhisattva asked him to wear a gold hoop to listen to Tang Seng's words, and he also agreed.

Even now that Tang Seng has to recite the curse at every turn, he recognizes him. Who made him the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain and who made him the Monkey King.The brothers call him the Great King, and call him the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain, so he must live up to the expectations of his brothers.He is worthy of his brothers' trust in him, and he can let his brothers live in peace.

Brother Hou suddenly sat up, spit out the grass roots in his mouth, jumped up and jumped off the roof.I landed with him and stood among the reeds outside the village.Every move is almost instinctive, and Monkey closed his eyes to show the moves he learned back then.In fact, many people don't understand that he didn't just learn two skills from Patriarch Bodhi.

Other abilities are self-taught without a teacher, but it was passed into his mind by the Bodhi ancestor when he left.There are ways to strengthen the body, skills to be good at attacking, the ability to move mountains and seas, and the ability to swallow clouds and mist.Everything can help him improve his cultivation, so that he can better face the sudden situation he will encounter in the future.

There are countless test stones in the Three Realms, each of which can measure the level of the race in the area.There is a test stone in Tianting, which can measure the cultivation time and strength level of the immortal family.Naturally, the Earth Realm also exists, and the Human Realm is the same.But no matter what kind of test stone, it is impossible to measure Brother Hou's strength at this time.

After Brother Monkey's description, I finally understood Brother Monkey's good intentions.He's actually not afraid of Buddha, and if it's one-on-one, he's got enough of me to run away.But he has a lot of people he cares about, which has become his Achilles' heel.

Ordinary people will not harm Huaguo Mountain, but Heaven can.The people of Buddhism will not harm the brothers of Huaguoshan, but the heavens can.Because in their eyes, his Huaguoshan brothers are just a group of monsters.They are all lofty immortals, how could they put monsters in their eyes.

If Brother Hou loses his status as a Buddhist disciple, I'm afraid he won't be able to protect Huaguo Mountain, which is being besieged again.If it was that kind of result, he would rather bear all the tiredness of crying alone.
