Tang Monk left, leaving Huxiao alone to stare blankly at his leaving figure.

Thinking about the words that Tang Monk left behind before leaving, Hu Xiao couldn't regain his senses for a long time.

"I am Wukong's master, but I am also the one who owes him the most, so I really want to do something and do something for him."

"Don't come to beg me again. Fifteen hundred years have passed and I have given up. Why are you still stubborn? He won't see you. Even if I really take you into Lingshan and get in front of him, he won't

I won’t see you. Because he is no longer the Monkey King of your demon tribe. Now, he is the fighting and conquering Buddha of my Buddhist sect.”

After saying these heartless words, Tang Seng turned and left.

Hu Xiao knelt on the ground, the blood on his forehead dyed his whole face red. With tearful eyes, he listened to Tang Seng's words, watched Tang Seng leave step by step, and finally knelt on the ground.

"Holy Monk......"

A moment later, melodious words came from the mouth of the figure from behind, awakening the desperate tiger's roar.

"The Sandalwood Buddha in front of you may not be able to protect too many people, but it can still protect dozens of little demons. Please don't cause trouble in the future."

Hu Xiao watched in a daze, and watched Tang Seng leave in a daze. It was not until Tang Seng completely disappeared from his eyes that he kowtowed again and gave a big salute.

"The roar of the tiger thanked the holy monk!"

——————————

On the way back to the hotel, Tang Seng held his hands behind his back and stared at the gray sky with a smile on his face.

"I wonder if the monkey will be happy when he finds out? Haha, who knows, probably it will be, but the monkey has always been like a stone. Even if it is really happy, it can't be seen."

Tang Seng's footsteps paused and stopped in place.

"But you said you gave up, did you really give up? Even those stupid monsters refused to let go, how can you Jin Chanzi let go?"

"Actually, you still can't let it go, right? If you really let it go, why do you have to come to see these pitiful silly monsters tonight? Why do you have to protect them? Drink a pot of strong wine, indulge in laughter, and watch

If you die while watching them, doesn’t that mean you truly let go?”

"That's it, for the last time, don't meddle in other people's business from now on."

Tang Monk was talking to himself, talking to himself.

He told himself, let it go, it was time to let it go.

It's passed, it's been fifteen hundred years, it's been a full fifteen hundred years since he climbed onto Lingshan Mountain, you...it's time to let it go.

In a daze, a very familiar voice seemed to appear in my ears, and an old figure gradually appeared in front of me.

"Master, thank you."

The figure clasped his hands together, saluted lightly, and said to himself.

Looking at the unreal figure in front of him, Tang Monk smiled gracefully, as if he had returned to a thousand years ago.

"This is what a master should do, Wukong, why do you have to be so alienated from the master? Don't forget, as a master..."

The evening breeze blew by, and the figure in front of Tang Monk disappeared, and the sounds in his ears disappeared. Only a white stray dog ​​slowly ran past his eyes.

Tang Seng's eyes darkened.

Hallucination? Probably so.

But I did see the monkey who refused to admit defeat again, haha, that's not bad.

With his hands behind his back, Tang Seng didn't want to think about those things anymore. He was walking alone on the deserted street.

"Wukong, you have a very bad master. This very bad master deceived you into going with him on a path with almost no hope, but you still went and were willing to risk your life with him. It's a pity that...

As a teacher, I will eventually fail you."

The evening wind blows, the fallen leaves drift, and the thin figure disappears into the darkness and moves forward silently.

————————————

"Hello."

"I heard that you are the Monkey King who caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace back then. Hello."

"Someone told me that you are a stone monkey, so you can't speak, right?"

The monkey, who was pinned down at the foot of the mountain, looked at him coldly. His hair was full of weeds, but his eyes were still so violent.

He smiled to himself, then sat cross-legged in front of him.

"Would you like to go out?"

"I can help you out."

Monkeys don't like to talk, so they don't talk and only talk to themselves.

"My name is Xuanzang and I am a monk. I want to go to the West to do a big thing. Are you willing to go with me?"

The monkey still didn't speak, just stared at him fiercely.

"My problem is big and powerful, so many people want to kill me, but I don't want to die. I want to find a powerful person to protect me. Are you willing to be this person?"

"I can't promise you anything, because I don't know if I can succeed. I want to go very far, and I want to use my own way to go all the way to the west, but some people don't want me to go there, because my way is not the same as

Theirs is different.”

"Are you done?"

The monkey with fierce eyes finally spoke.

He shook his head seriously.

"No."

"I was pressed here by Tathagata." Monkey said coldly.

"I've heard that it seems that you made a mistake, but I don't think you are at fault, so are you willing to go on the road with me?"

"You want me to be your dog in some way?"

"Master and apprentice, I am your master, you are my first apprentice, and at the same time, you are also the first person I have saved."

"Are you worthy?"

"If you don't deserve it now, you will in the future."

"roll!"

"You're scared."

"I'm afraid of a lot."

"What are you afraid of? Afraid that what you have done is useless, that the people who follow you will continue to die? Afraid that you will make the same mistakes again?"

"But have you ever thought about it, if you continue to stay here, nothing will change in heaven. What you hate will eventually be what you hate, and there will be no change in the outcome."

"Do you still have a choice? When you leave that mountain, when you pick up that stick, when you put up that flag, you have no way out."

"My name is Xuanzang. I am a monk. I am going to the West. This is a gamble. Some people believe that I will win, and some people do not. Do you want to believe it?"

The monkey closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep.

He sighed to himself.

He patted the dust on the monk's clothes and stood up helplessly.

"Okay, then I won't force you, poor monk. Let's see you again in the future."

————————————

the next day.

Looking at the thin monkey next to him, watching him catch lice on his body out of boredom.

He looked at the flat road in front of him and smiled lightly.

"Still want to believe it and aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?"

The monkey is a stone, so he doesn't like to talk.

It wasn't until he killed a tiger and put on a tiger skin skirt that he said a dull word.

"I don't trust anyone, but you are right about one thing. I really have no other choice but to bet with you once."

While I was transcending the tiger, I glanced at the taciturn monkey, and then closed my eyes.

"Then let's go on the road together."

A monkey and a monk in white were walking on the road, heading towards the place called Lingshan.

——————————

"I forgot to ask you, what are you going to do?"

"Learn from the scriptures."

"What lessons should we take?"

"Take my scriptures."

"You still want to go to someone else to get your scriptures?"
