"Did he return to Kunlun and become a monk? Is he still alive now?" Monkey asked again.

"He died hundreds of years ago. The reason why we know him is because he is famous...and you have become famous too." Maya said with a strange expression.

"What's the meaning?"

"He used you as the protagonist and wrote a mythological novel, Journey to the West, one of the four great Chinese classics." Gunsou explained.

"well......"

The monkey was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "At that time, I was surprised, how could the 'Confucian scholar', the representative of a gentleman, become that kind of... Since Dong Zhongshu in the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has changed from a spirit to a knowledge. Later,

It has changed from knowledge to a skill that can be used as a means of making a living.

At that time, Junior Brother Wu clearly promised again and again that he would not tell any third person about me.

It’s not because I care about my own face, but as Senior Brother Kunlun and the Jade Emperor’s direct disciple, my status does not allow me to become a joke.”

"It's not a joke, it's a masterpiece, a celebrity. Everyone admires you!" Maya quickly comforted her.

Lao Wu is not talking to a third person, but to everyone in the world...

"Yes, senior, not only the Chinese, but also the foreigners regard you as their idol." Gunsou also said.

"Haha, are you sure?"

"Indeed...uh!" Maya was stunned.

Although he is very famous, only Wukong has a good reputation. Sanzang and his Buddhism are despised, and Wuneng... Alas, Old Wu still extended his little evil hand!

"Oh, forget it, since Kunlun didn't pursue it, I don't care anymore." Monkey waved his hand and sighed.

"senior......"

The stick man wanted to say something more, but the monkey raised his hand to interrupt him and said: "Leave, I want to sleep."

"Let's go, let's wait until we meet Taihao before we talk." Maya pulled the stick and whispered.

After leaving the cave, Gunsou squatted aside in a daze, while Maya regained her mood and began to study the 36th floor of the magic circle enthusiastically.

Three days later, "Buzz!"

"Haha, finally cracked!" Maya laughed happily.

Gunsou hurriedly finished the last dumpling, dropped the big bowl in his hand, ran to Maya, and complained: "I really shouldn't have come in with you, for the Chinese New Year, there are not even 10 big bowls, and the dumpling fillings are not bacon."

, Alas, there is no flavor of the New Year at all. Hey, the back is gone?"

Maya's eyes were bright red, looking at the black void behind the 36 magic circle, shaking her head and saying: "No, there are more behind, the Kunlun Eight Realms are above."

"above?"

"Yes, it's an amazing space skill. The entrance is on the earth, but the exit is at the bottom of hell.

The blockade boulder spans the four levels of space including the Earth, Kunlun Realm, Hell, and the Eight Kunlun Realms." Maya praised.

"Whoosh!"

Taihao's figure appeared beside the two of them.

He smiled and said: "Will it help you build the Mayan underworld?"

"Uh, how are you... so sure that I can build the underworld?" Maya asked in surprise.

She had the ability to build the underworld, and Wu Fengji's words gave her motivation. Therefore, she decided deep down in her heart that she would be busy with this matter when she returned.

But from Taihao's tone, it seemed that before the sparring, he was helping her without any purpose?

"Maya, have you forgotten that I can do divination? Somehow, I have a premonition that the universe will change because of you.

My divination is not by observing the river of time, but by integrating the existing cosmic information to analyze and speculate on the future.

Obviously, my prediction was correct this time." Taihao said with a smile.

"Thank you, it helps a lot." Maya nodded.

"However, I also helped you with a few favors."

"I really should thank you for Feng Ji's matter. Phoenix is ​​too domineering, and I am helpless."

Taihao looked complicated, and then asked curiously: "Can Wukong be rescued?"

"I thought you were going to say rescue Tripitaka." Maya said in surprise.

Taihao waved his hand and said: "Wukong is the true nature, Sanzang is the demonic nature."

"What?" Maya's jaw almost dropped.

Taihao asked seriously: "Which one of them do you think is the most compatible with me?"

"this......"

Taihao looked complicated and explained: "I can do good things, but I am not a saint.

If it was Sanzang who became my disciple at that time, I would not have accepted him as my disciple even if he knelt to death in a month, let alone one month. In fact, the number of people who knelt to death because of becoming my disciple, numbered not one thousand but eight hundred.

Monkey's nature is three parts god, three parts devil, three parts human and one part saint. Like me, we get along very well, so I accepted him as my disciple.

Tripitaka, Wu Jing, and Wu Neng are all Wukong's inner demons.

The inner demon is not the devil, anything that messes with my nature is a devil, no matter it is a devil or a saint."

"So, it was the real Wukong who tricked me into taking away the stick, but the good old Sanzo deceived me?"

Maya was inexplicably shocked, all this was beyond her imagination.

"It's not a lie. You have to understand that Sanzang is a Buddhist sage, Wujing is a Confucian sage, and Wuneng is a military sage.

The three of them are the saints that people hope for, and they are the realm that countless people who cultivate their moral character most hope to achieve.

In Sanzang's eyes, Wukong is a demon, his inner demon.

There is no doubt that Wukong is extremely talented. He has inherited my legacy and carried it forward to the limit.

But he can enter, but cannot exit, and has forgotten the purpose of learning.

The purpose of all learning and practice is not the learning goal itself, but the understanding of the self, sublimation of the self, and realization of the superego."

Taihao spread his hands and said helplessly: "Wukong has not been able to transcend himself. For him, his own sage is more demonic than being possessed by a demon."

"What do you mean?" Gunsou asked confused.

Maya rolled her eyes at him and asked: "Master, do you think the virtues of human nature such as honesty and trustworthiness, knowing etiquette, kindness and friendliness, are good?"

"good."

"Then you know why they're good?"

"this......"

"I have an illusion that can completely change a person's personality. If I could turn you into a saint with all the above advantages, would you be willing?"

"Of course I don't want to. If it turns out like that, is it still me?"

"So, if you become that kind of personality, you are possessed by a demon...Is that okay?"

"Well, it seems... there's some truth to it, but I always feel... it's unreasonable." Gunsou said confusedly.

Maya nodded and said: "It is indeed a very idealistic fallacy, but this is how people are, they are people with independent personality."

"Ahem, Maya, can you help Wukong?" Taihao asked again.

"What would you do without me?" Maya rolled her eyes and asked.

Taihao didn't hesitate at all, and said with a cold expression: "One day, I will lure a person to fall into the grotto, and he will inherit Wukong's mantle, divine power and golden cudgel, and become the second generation Monkey King.

Moreover, that person will be an American!

Otherwise, do you think that Wu Chengen was an accident? That "Journey to the West" known to the whole world was an accident?"

"I bought it!" The old man's face turned pale.

But Maya nodded and sighed: "It's true. You have been planning for hundreds of years for your apprentice, so you are considered serious."

"Humph, it's not just for that monkey. I've said before that hundreds of years ago, I calculated that the center of civilization would shift from China.

I'm not as selfless as you. Earth's civilization is too far away for me, so far that it is no longer my responsibility. If Earth's civilization relies on a 10,000-year-old man to promote its development, what future does it have?

Therefore, from the beginning, I understood that I had fulfilled my responsibility to the earth thousands of years ago.

Now, China is the bond.

So, you understand?
