Chapter 698: Hesitation

In the thick encirclement, the monkey looked at Yang Chan with his eyes slightly wide.

At this moment, everyone's eyes converged on Yang Chan, everyone held their breath, even the six-eared macaque was secretly watching Yang Chan from the corner of his eye.

However, Yang Chan just covered her face, stood quietly, sobbing, and couldn't calm down for a long time. No one could see her expression at the moment.

The hand that covered her face was the last line of defense for this stubborn woman at this moment.

The monkey clutched the golden rod tightly and gasped heavily.

In the silence of this heaven and earth, time passed bit by bit. Everyone is anxiously waiting.

......

In the courtyard of the three-star cave of the oblique moon, Qingxin and Xuanzang sat at the stone table.

The wind blew gently, swaying the shadows of the trees that fell on Qingxin's body. She sat motionless, her long, slightly drooping hair falling down and obscuring her face.

On the opposite side of the stone table, Xuanzang lowered his head and sipped tea silently, looking at Qingxin from time to time.

Everything seemed to stand still. Under the sun, everything around me is so warm, but there is a powerlessness that penetrates into the bottom of my heart. People don't have the courage to face it.

She suddenly remembered that day more than 600 years ago.

On that day, she was faced with the exact same choice as she did today. With tears in her eyes, she persuaded the monkey to pick up Yang Chan. Then he plucked up the courage and smiled and faced his fate alone.

It was the bravest decision in the life of a weak, insignificant girl. However, in the end, it only started a catastrophe that affected the Three Realms.

In this life, she wants to escape, she wants to end it all. But. As he stretched out his arms to himself...... Pity. After all, it was all in vain.

In this life, she is no longer so weak. She's even a little arrogant, however...... She suddenly realized that she was still her, and she had never changed in her past and present lives.

In the warm sunshine, the short-term happiness quietly leaves from the fingers like quicksand, no matter how you hold it, you can't hold it.

Left. It's still the nightmare of those three lives.

In the silence, the heart is withering little by little.

......

On the platform, Su Bodhi was alone, quietly listening to the wind of the Three Realms.

Behind him, in front of the tea tray, Lao Jun was silently sipping tea.

One has a solemn face, and the other has a leisurely expression.

......

In the Miluo Palace, Yuan Shi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Master looked at each other silently, without saying a word.

......

In the Great Thunder Sound Temple. All the arhats craned their necks and waited quietly. They all looked at each other.

......

A breeze swept by, stroking the fallen leaves, bending the wormwood, and even the formation of the battleships in the sky slowly loosened.

It's been a long wait, and in the silence, a restlessness is already happening.

"Okay?" Taking a step forward, the monkey stretched out a hand from afar: "Promise me, go back with me?"

The hand that was reaching out to her hung far in the air.

However, Yang Chan just covered her face tightly.

Eight hundred years, she paid for eight hundred years of waiting, all of which began long before the monkey went to heaven to become an official.

Eight hundred years of time, waiting hard, for today's words, isn't it?

She's gotten it, she's really defeated the "enemy" that was originally invincible, but......

......

In front of the stone table, Qingxin lowered his head and held the cup with only a little tea stain left. Sits motionless.

"The six-eared macaque kidnapped Yang Chan's benefactor, and the Great Sage was out of proportion. Xuanzang sighed lightly and said: "According to the poor monk, even if this trip is successful, it will only be a disaster in the future." ”

Qingxin blinked blankly, stared at the empty teacup in his hand, and fell into a trance. The slightly wide open eyes shimmered like a lake under the moonlight under the shadows of the swaying trees.

"How did the Great Sage Master defeat that day, does the Master of Pure Heart know?" Taking a deep breath, Xuanzang closed his eyes and said leisurely: "The war between the great powers, in the end, is the heart. The Great Sage is strong, but it's a pity that ...... The nature of the heart is incomparable with the great powers who have lived for tens of thousands of years. Because of his love and righteousness, he can become the Monkey King. However, because of his love and righteousness, he was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain. That's his biggest weakness. In such a situation, their weaknesses are undoubtedly exposed, and in the game, how can they gain the upper hand?"

Qingxin smiled slowly, a tear running down her cheek.

"yes...... How could he win? Actually, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, no one would have been able to control him. He...... It will not be used by Rulai. From the beginning, it was a mistake...... It's all my fault for not finishing the mantra. Otherwise, everything wouldn't be what it is today. ”

......

Looking up at the sky, Lao Jun stroked his long beard and sighed softly: "Do you know, why did the old man take the word 'pure heart' for that girl's road name?"

In the breeze, Su Bodhi slowly turned his head and looked at Lao Jun, but did not speak.

"It is taken from the 'pure heart' in 'pure heart and few desires'. Pursing his lips, Lao Jun slowly closed his eyes and sighed softly: "We are playing, that girl, why is it not a game? It's a pity that she is destined to lose this game. After three lifetimes, although the personalities have been completely different, however, the essence has not changed. She didn't lose to Yang Chan, but to ...... The monkey. From the very beginning, from the moment she gave everything she had, she had already fallen behind, and after eight hundred years, she could not break free after all. ”

As he spoke, Lao Jun opened his eyes, and his gaze slowly moved towards Su Bodhi. At the moment of eye contact, Su Bodhi avoided it.

Lao Jun laughed helplessly: "More than six hundred years ago, it was a dead end, and with her character, there was no possibility of escape." I just hope that today, she can come out......"

Subodhi squinted slightly, still standing motionless, looking into the distance.

......

In the midst of the layers of encirclement, slowly lifting the white boots, under everyone's attention, Yang Chan finally took a step back hesitantly.

The monkey's eyes widened dumbfounded.

Putting down her hands, Yang Chan looked at the monkey with her red, hazy eyes.

"I'm sorry, I can't go back with you. ”

"Why?"

"In short, no. Yang Chan laughed slowly, smiling as comfortably as she had never been.

It was a laugh from the heart.

"Thank you......" a voice sounded in the monkey's head: "I am content." But I'm not going back with you. Because, we still have a long way to go. If this is fate, then let's face it together and go through this road together. ”

Gently brushing away the six-eared macaque's sharp knife, she whispered to the six-eared macaque, "If he doesn't go, let's go." ”

"Good...... Okay!" the six-eared macaque nodded dumbly, and glanced back at the monkey with a hint of provocation.

The demon generals behind him quickly gave way to an aisle.

With the six-eared macaque and a group of demon generals, Yang Chan left step by step. In the blink of an eye, it had disappeared from the monkey's sight.

The encirclement of heaven and earth was slowly lifted, and the army slowly shrank and retreated, like a receding tide. The whole world seemed to be moving away from him.

In the ruins, only the monkey stood in a daze, looking at the direction in which Yang Chan disappeared.

......

In the three-star cave of the slanting moon, a Taoist disciple hurriedly broke into the courtyard.

"Uncle Wukong, he ......" Before the Taoist disciple finished speaking, he suddenly found that another Taoist disciple was already present.

Taking a deep breath, the other Taoist sighed softly, "I've ...... The report has passed. ”

Tears hit the back of Qingxin's hand.

On the other side, Xuanzang was startled and quickly shut up.

After a while, Qingxin slowly raised his head and said, "Send Master Xuanzang back......

"Multi-...... Thank you for your understanding. ”

"Nope. Looking at Xuanzang, Qingxin said lightly: "What I mean is to send you to the temporary residence prepared by Guanli." Unless he comes to pick you up, you will not be allowed to go anywhere. ”

"Huh?"

Before Xuanzang could react, one of the Taoist disciples on the side had already bowed down and bowed his hand, and then made a "please" gesture towards Xuanzang.

When he looked at Qingxin again, Xuanzang suddenly found that Qingxin frowned slightly, but there was nothing in those eyes.

In desperation, he had to shake his sleeves, get up and leave with the disciple.

"Go down too. ”

Hearing this, the remaining Taoist disciple was slightly stunned, so he had to bow down slightly and quietly withdraw from the courtyard.

In the small courtyard, only Qingxin and the agarwood that had been standing aside were left.

......

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to choose me. To be honest, I was a bit surprised. The six-eared macaque snorted and said, "Don't worry, I will listen to you in the future, and I will ...... tomorrow No, now, now we will move the capital to Huaguo Mountain! I want to take back my position as the Monkey King!"

Yang Chan walked forward step by step, not squinting.

"The road will be long, bitter and dangerous. ”

"What are you afraid of, he can, I'm sure I can!"

"There are many, many wars to be waged against you, including the West Nyorai, and the resurrection of your Jizo King. You have to be mentally prepared. ”

"Buddhism is just a bunch of bald donkeys who can only play tricks, and only he will be defeated at their hands. Hahahaha, with you helping me, which onion are they?"

The six-eared macaque gestured happily.

From beginning to end, Yang Chan just smiled sweetly, but there was nothing in her eyes.

......

In the blink of an eye, there was not a single monster left around.

The monkey stood alone.

After a long time, he turned and soared into the air, sweeping into the distance.

......

"Master, why are you crying?" Agarwood on the side carefully took out a handkerchief and handed it over with both hands: "That monkey...... Did you do something to make the master unhappy again?"

However, Qingxin did not pick it up. She turned her face, stretched out her hand to take the agarwood into her arms, and said with a smile: "It's the master's own fault, it's none of his business." (To be continued.) )
