Chapter 88
As soon as Zhu Bajie finished saying this, Monkey King rushed in.
Tang Seng and others took a step back together, looking at Monkey King in horror.
The white dragon horse howled, hid in the back room, and looked out through the crack of the door.
Yang Jian sat at the table, unconsciously squeezed the wine glass with his hand, crushing the wine glass.
Monkey King said: "What are you doing? Why do you run away when you see me?"
No one answered.The room reverberated with the sound of heavy panting, and the voice of the Drifting Monk trembling with fear.
Monkey King said: "What's wrong with you? Why do you look at me like this?"
Tang Seng and others responded by taking another step back.
Yang Jian threw away the fragments in his hand, stood up, and greeted Sun Wukong, blocking them in front of everyone seemingly unintentionally.
"Wukong, do you remember me?"
Sun Wukong said: "Nonsense!"
Yang Jian frowned.
Zhu Bajie said: "Fight with him!"
Yang Jian crossed his arms to stop him: "Wait a minute, I think there is something wrong with him."
Sun Wukong looked at it inexplicably: "You want to fight with me? What's the matter?"
Zhu Bajie said: "Are you asking us about what you did yourself?" He tore off his chest, revealing his gauze-wrapped chest, "Don't tell me you don't know who hurt it."
Sun Wukong said: "I really don't know, are there monsters again?"
Everyone saw that Sun Wukong didn't look like a fake, and looked at each other in blank dismay.Didn't Monkey King do it that day?Monkey King is an upright person, if he really did it, he will not deny it.But if it wasn't for Monkey King, how could there be someone exactly like Monkey King in the world?The macaque king is dead, who would pretend to be Monkey King?What's more, the disguise is not so similar. Tang Seng and others could see through the macaque king's disguise at a glance.Even if someone has the same appearance as Monkey King, their temperament cannot be faked.
Zhu Bajie recounted in detail how the village was slaughtered.
Sun Wukong was stunned.
Yang Jian said: "Are you sure that person is really Monkey King?"
Zhu Bajie nodded: "Definitely."
Yang Jian turned to look at Tang Seng, Tang Seng said: "I'm sure too." Drifting nodded hurriedly.
Zhu Bajie said: "And even the golden hoop is the same, even if it is faked, where can I find the Dinghaishen needle? So the one who killed that day was Monkey King."
Tang Seng said: "I am also sure it is Monkey King. If we are not mistaken, it is Monkey King who is lying."
Monkey King jumped up and down, yelling at the person who pretended to be himself.
Yang Jian asked Sun Wukong to tell him about his experience.
Sun Wukong said: "I went to Jilei Mountain to see the Bull Demon King. The Bull Demon King was rubbing the banner of 'Monkey King', talked to me a lot, and invited me to drink. I didn't drink, ran out, and met a tree demon , He set up a phantom circle and led me to see it. But I can’t remember what I saw in the phantom circle. Later, when I remembered it, it was on the cloud, so I hurried back, that’s it.”
As soon as Yang Jian asked, he got to the point: "What did the Bull Demon King say to you?"
"Say I'm his sworn brother, say I'm Monkey King."
Yang Jian was shocked: "Have you remembered?"
"No. I suspect that there is something wrong with my memory." Sun Wukong was very confused. "In my memory, I am definitely not the Monkey King, but so many people have spoken so convincingly, and even died because of it, I have to doubt it."
Yang Jian said: "According to what you said, from the time you saw the phantom array to the time when you were on the cloud, your memory is blank?"
"Yes." Sun Wukong nodded without hesitation.
Yang Jian looked at Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie: "What do you think?"
Zhu Bajie said: "I still think the murderer is Monkey King."
Tang Seng added: "But I don't think Monkey King is lying at the moment."
Sun Wukong was dizzy and asked Yang Jian, "You don't believe me either?"
Yang Jian said: "I believe what you say, but I also believe what they say."
Yang Jian sat at the table thinking, and the development of the matter was beyond his expectation.Knowing that Monkey King entered Motu Village, Yang Jian actually guessed that Monkey King most likely recovered his memory.While he ordered his subordinates to look for Sun Wukong, he also released news about himself in Daughter Country, hoping that Monkey King would come to Daughter Country to find him after hearing the news.Yang Jian waited for Sun Wukong while recovering from his injuries. After waiting for [-] days, he didn't come, so he thought to find Sun Wukong after the New Year, and drive them away in advance in order not to hurt Tang Seng and others.Now he saw Monkey King, but Monkey King was the same as before, as if nothing had happened.If the village hadn't become an empty city, Yang Jian really wanted to believe that nothing had happened.
Yang Jian looked at Sun Wukong, he was still the same as before, unchanged.Yang Jian can be sure that Sun Wukong has not recovered his memory. Once he recovers his memory, he cannot have such an attitude towards himself.
Tang Seng and the others looked at Yang Jian, they were also confused, they just waited for Yang Jian to make a decision.
For a while, everyone in the room fell silent.The atmosphere is dignified and tense.
Zhu Bajie took out the nine-tooth nail rake and held it tightly in his hand.Tang Seng took his eyes away from Yang Jian and concentrated on watching Monkey King's every move.Drifting hides in the back room, and together with Bai Longma, he pokes open the door to look.Everyone just waited for Yang Jian's order to start.Thinking of the previous duels that were one-sided, this time there should be no problem with Erlang Shen.
Yang Jian sighed, pulled over a chair, took an empty bowl, and put a dumpling in the bowl. "Wukong, come over to eat first, the dumplings just made are still warm."
The crowd fell.
Monkey King sat down and ate dumplings.
Yang Jian said: "Anyway, let's eat this meal first."
Monkey King ate deliciously and devoured it hungrily.Yang Jian poured wine for him, "Slow down, we've finished eating, I won't grab you." Sun Wukong's chopsticks fell off, Yang Jian helped him pick them up, washed them and returned them to him, and continued to add wine when his glass was empty. Remember that Sun Wukong always pours three cups, but he refuses to pour any more after pouring two and a half cups.Use spells to heat up the cold dishes, and move Monkey King's favorite food to him.The service is so thoughtful.
Tang Seng clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, Erlang Zhenjun is beyond my reach..."
Sun Wukong's mouth was full, and he was happy to hear others praise Yang Jian, and he said, "Of course."
Yang Jian glared at him reproachfully.
Monkey King laughed and continued to bury his head in eating dumplings.
The relationship between Yang Jian and Monkey King has returned to the usual way of getting along.
A storm just passed away.
Tang Seng and others couldn't say anything more.
But everyone knows in their hearts that this matter is endless and must be understood.
Sun Wukong knows this better than anyone else, he wants to find out who is pretending to be him.So the next day Monkey King went to find the fake Monkey King alone.Fearing that Yang Jian would disagree, he left quietly before dawn, leaving a note in advance.
Yang Jian explained the child's affairs to Sun Wukong at night, and then checked Sun Wukong's physical condition. He was surprised to find that only one of the two souls in his body was left, and the soul that was full of evil thoughts disappeared somehow.Knowing this situation, Yang Jian became even more worried.Sun Wukong walked on the front foot, and Yang Jian also walked on the back foot.He also wanted to find the murderous Monkey King. He told Tang Seng and others to recuperate here, and they would let everyone know if they had any news, so they set off alone.
In the vast sea of people, finding someone is like finding a needle in a haystack.Monkey King's way is to ask people when he sees them: "Have you seen me?", but he couldn't find it after a long time.Monkey King decides to suspend the search and go to the underworld to find the soul of the tiger spirit A Ming.Amin died because of him, he couldn't absolve himself of the blame, and he must go to the underworld to find his soul before he is reconciled.
If a mortal creature dies, its soul will return to the underworld. When a monster dies, its soul will wander in the mortal world for at most one day before dissipating on its own.If it is killed by someone with powerful magic power, the soul will dissipate immediately.It is very unlikely that the tiger spirit Ah Ming's soul is in the underworld, and Monkey King is just trying his luck.
In Sun Wukong's memory, it was his first visit to the underworld.
Ahead is a grand bridge with ghosts crossing the river leisurely.Surrounded by flowers and green grass, there are several pavilions and palaces faintly visible on the other side, magnificent and resplendent.There is a tea shed at the head of the bridge, where many people drink tea—Mengpo soup.Where is this hell, the beauty is simply better than heaven.Everyone who crossed the river had a happy smile on their faces, and they walked calmly, as if they were strolling in their own garden.
Hell, is it such a peaceful and harmonious place?
Sun Wukong landed on the bridge, and saw a tall stone tablet standing next to it, engraved on the tablet: "You can't see through the Wangchuan River, but you can sigh on the Naihe bridge." It seems that this place is the only way to go to hell, Huangquan Road.
Monkey King stepped onto the Naihe Bridge, and all of a sudden, he was flooded with distracting thoughts, too many and too urgent, but he couldn't keep anything, and it passed in a flash, and he didn't know what he thought of.When he regained his composure, he found that the Naihe Bridge had become three floors up and down, and he was standing on the bottom floor, when countless evil spirits emerged from the river and grabbed his feet and dragged him down.Startled suddenly, Shi Shentong shook off the evil spirit and looked up again, the scene had changed.
It was pitch black all around, full of black mist, and there was no light at all.There was a sound of ghosts crying, which was horrific; gusts of dark wind hit, and the whole body was cold.
In the boundless darkness, countless voices came from all directions: "Give me back my life! Give me back my life..."
It turned out that what I saw just now was just an illusion that tempted me to cross the river.
The true face of hell was revealed at the moment when Monkey King stepped onto the bridge of Naihe.
Monkey King jumped up and flew across the Naihe Bridge.Relying on memory, he flew to the nearest palace that he saw just now.He couldn't tell the direction in the dark, but Monkey King knew he was on the right track, because ghost pawns appeared in front of him blocking his way.Although I can't see anything, I can feel the breath of ghosts, densely packed, overwhelming, and I don't know how many evil ghosts are blocking the front, gradually surrounding Monkey King.
Monkey King stopped and stepped on the ground, "Please let me know that Monkey King is asking to see Yama of the Ten Temples."
A fluttering and sharp voice sounded: "Does Yama of the Ten Palaces see you just as you say? I am the judge of hell. If there is anything, please tell me."
Sun Wukong saluted in the direction of the voice, "It's the same as saying and listening to the judge. Please ask the judge to find out whether the soul of the tiger spirit Ah Ming has come to the underworld. If you can help me, I will be grateful and I will definitely repay you in the future."
The surroundings became quiet, and Sun Wukong was keenly aware that the atmosphere had changed after he finished speaking.The attitude of the surrounding ghosts towards Sun Wukong changed from fear to surprise, and then to ridicule.Monkey King didn't understand what was going on.
The judge said: "Okay, I'll check it out for you, please wait a moment."
Sun Wukong bowed again: "Thank you."
The group of ghosts was in an uproar and gradually began to discuss.
"My God, he's saying thank you, and he's going to say thank you."
"Is he really Monkey King?"
"Sun Wukong actually turned into this..."
In the darkness, the mocking laughter was so piercing.
The judge went to search the book of life and death, and came back after a while, and said to Sun Wukong: "I'm sorry, there is no name of tiger spirit Ah Ming in the book of life and death. It seems that your friend died unexpectedly and does not belong to the underworld."
Sun Wukong had expected this ending a long time ago, and he was not disappointed. He clasped his fists at the darkness and said, "Then I am very grateful to Brother Judge. If that is the case, I will go now, and there will be a period later."
Sun Wukong noticed that the ghost pawn voluntarily moved out of the way, so he walked forward from here.The ghost soldiers were whispering about themselves, and with Monkey King's excellent hearing ability, they could hear them clearly.
"He just left like that? He didn't get angry or fight?" "Master Judge, did you really go to check the life and death book just now? Why did you come back so soon?" "What are you checking? It's obviously perfunctory." Perfunctory him?" "Hahaha, he is no longer the Monkey King of the past, why are you afraid of him?"
……
Sun Wukong clenched his fists.After thinking about it, he let go and left the underworld.
After Sun Wukong left, the judge yelled: "The alert is lifted!"
There was a sound of "boom", and the light of the underworld brightened.Naihe Bridge, Wangchuan River, and Senluo Palace are all clearly displayed.
The black ghost pawns are like ants, covering all the open spaces.
Everyone talked a lot, and they all felt that they were making too much of a fuss when they heard that Monkey King was coming this time.Tathagata's tight circle has already transformed Monkey King into another person. "He's nothing special at all, hahaha, Sun Wukong knows a lot, or else grandpa beat him until he doesn't even know his mother!", "Hahaha, Monkey King has no mother at all! He's a bastard without parents! "Everyone was talking and laughing.
Suddenly the sound became quieter, and gradually, there was no sound at all.Silence seemed to be contagious. When the most excited judge realized something was wrong and shut his mouth, the underworld became completely quiet, so quiet that even the breathing of the ghost pawns was deafening.Everyone opened their mouths wide and stared in one direction.
On the tea shed beside the Naihe Bridge, there is a person squatting.The appearance of a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a round face and golden eyes.It is Sun Wukong.
Monkey King jumped down from the tea shed, "Say it, why didn't you talk?" He pointed at the judge, "You had the best laugh just now, keep laughing."
The judge had a mournful face.Everyone didn't understand why Sun Wukong went and returned.
Monkey King said: "Is there no record of A Ming in the life and death book?" Before the judge could speak, he said, "If you say yes, then you can't find out A Ming's whereabouts, so it's a useless thing, useless It's boring to live, so let me kill you. If you say no, then you were lying just now. Monkey King hates two things in his life, one is betrayal, and the other is deception. Heaven follows the law, first hit the two hundred orphan crutches!"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the judge to answer, he pulled out the Ruyi golden cudgel, flew up, and rushed towards the ghost pawn, "I haven't killed ghosts for many years, today I will let the old grandson start a killing spree, have a good time!" The golden cudgel was rounded, With the sound of the wind, he smashed at the ghost pawn with all his strength.A vertical slash splits the skull; a horizontal swipe sweeps it down.It's like a hungry tiger rushing at a sheep, invincible, like entering the land of no one.There are many ghost soldiers, but none of them is his general.The screams were endless, and there were countless casualties in the cup of tea.
Monkey King is not fond of fighting, he goes straight to the prison where the evil spirits are held, walks and kills all the way, and when he meets the prison, no matter what evil spirits and monsters are locked inside, he will release them all.He shouted: "Freedom! We are all free!" A group of monsters followed Monkey King and rushed out of the palace.
Sun Wukong led the evil spirits and monsters from the first floor of hell, that is, the place where King Qin Guang was in the first hall, to the place where King Zhuanlun was in the tenth hall.Avoid the heavily guarded main hall and go to the prison.This is a good kill, and it is many times more vicious than the destruction of the life and death book and the chaos in the underworld.
Sun Wukong's eyes were red, and he would kill whatever he encountered, regardless of everything around him, even his thinking stopped.As long as there is someone in front of him, before he can figure out what's going on, the golden cudgel in his hand has already been swung out.I only know how to kill!kill!kill!
All the monsters followed Sun Wukong and showed their power together, turning the underworld upside down.
Finally, the last bit of sanity was left. When Sun Wukong reached the No.17 hell, he woke up to the next level, the No.18 Infernal Hell, which is guarded by the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Inside is the evil monster with boundless mana, the Ksitigarbha. His mana is not something he can deal with, even if he wins, he will be in a hard fight.
Sun Wukong traveled unimpeded all the way, all because of the sudden incident, Yama of the Ten Temples had no time to dispatch troops, and his somersault cloud technique was too fast, leaving the pursuers far behind, if he was killed by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva If you stop your steps, it will be difficult to think of the underworld.Thinking of this, without hesitation, he turned into white light and left the underworld.
