Chapter 4 Chapter 4 ===
Halfway through the ugly hour, the moon hidden in the clouds showed its head again.
Outside the farmyard, the evening wind blows the trees and wild flowers, and scattered stars are reflected in the gurgling river.
This is undoubtedly a very beautiful night in the countryside, but the six dark shadows shuttled in the field broke the tranquility and peace.
The moonlight shone on the bodies of these six shadows, exposing their ferocious faces at a glance.The six people exchanged glances in pairs, then clenched the weapons in their hands, whistled, and rushed towards the farmyard.
In the room, Chu Qi, who had not fallen into a deep sleep, woke up from the dream when he heard the sound.He put on his coat, opened the door, and saw the scene of six thieves surrounding Monkey King.
This scene is almost the same as the description in the original work in Chu Qi's previous life memory.
Chu Qi shifted his gaze to the six thieves with sultry faces without moving his expression. He saw that some of these six were holding guns, some were carrying short swords, and some were holding sharp blades and strong bows.
When Chu Zi was looking at the six people, the six thieves also noticed Chu Zi who pushed the door out of the room.
Because Chu Zi's position was right under the eaves, when the upside-down wheat straw curtains hanging from the corners of the eaves fell down, they just covered the upper part of Chu Zi's forehead.
Chu Zi's figure is tall and slender. Although her appearance is too exquisite, as long as she looks at it as a whole, she does not make people feel feminine, but instead reveals a kind of gentleness and elegance.
However, at this moment, he was wearing his coat, and his inner coat was wrapped by a belt, exposing his slender waist curve, and under the hazy night light, he even felt a sense of grip.
And the touch of lotus flower cinnabar above his eyebrows, under the influence of the wrong visual effect, fell in the eyes of these six people, adding a kind of eye-catching beauty.
The six people took a breath at the same time, and for a moment they almost mistakenly thought that they had seen a fairy in the sky.
"Brother, I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful woman in this rural area!" The thief with a dagger said to the man with a gun in his hand, with greed and desire in his eyes.
"Brother, let's snatch this beauty to be my wife!" Another thief also echoed.
Obviously, these people mistook Chu Zi for a woman.
Monkey King, who was still thinking about playing games and was going to have fun with the six thieves, changed his face instantly after hearing what the two said.
The smile on his face disappeared, and the corners of his mouth were drawn down into a straight line, "I'm courting death!" He looked at the two people who were talking, and a cold murderous intent appeared in his pupils.
Seeing this, the man who was called the eldest brother shouted, "Come on, brothers!" After saying that, the six of them attacked Monkey King together.
In order to prevent these people from disturbing Chu Qi, Monkey King led the six people outside the villa.
These six thieves have some skills, if they are facing ordinary people who have no power to restrain their chickens, it is naturally easy.But they are facing Sun Wukong, and their fierce attack is not even scratching an itch for Sun Wukong.
In the eyes of Monkey King, these six people are nothing but ants.
And the mere ants had a wrong heart for his master. After thinking about it, Sun Wukong deliberately didn't use the golden cudgel to kill them in one move, intending to admire their terrified appearance of spitting blood and crawling on the ground in embarrassment.
Sun Wukong's idea is very simple. If he is unhappy because of these six thieves, he will not give these six thieves any pleasure.
He thought so, and did so in the next second.
Scarlet blood spurted out from these people, accompanied by bursts of screams, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Their faces were pale and distorted, their lips were blue, and they desperately crawled out, trying to escape from here, leaving bloodstains on the ground they crawled over.As for Monkey King, he walked unhurriedly behind these people, put the golden cudgel across his shoulders, put his hands on it, and admired their tragedy.
And this scene happened to be seen by Chu Zi who was chasing up, and his brows frowned: "Wukong!" Chu Zi called Monkey King's name, "Don't be impulsive."
Sun Wukong paused.
Seeing this, these people immediately begged for mercy: "Great... hero... spare your life! Da Xia, spare your life, we will never..." But before they could finish their words, they were beaten to death by Monkey King.
Chu Xun was startled suddenly, looking at the six corpses on the ground, his brows frowned more deeply.
Chu Zi used to live in a civilized society ruled by law, and suddenly saw six people die tragically in front of him, surrounded by blood, no matter how calm he was, it was impossible for him to adapt immediately.
Chu Zi took a deep breath, turned her eyes away from those corpses, and turned to look at Monkey King, the usual gentleness was no longer in the quiet eyes.
Chu Zi is not a foolish person, but this does not mean that he agrees with Monkey King's approach.Wicked people have evil rewards, and the extent to which wicked people should be punished should also be measured by their evil deeds.
Sun Wukong didn't take his words to heart, he was a little aggressive and impulsive.
The most important thing is that Sun Wukong is his apprentice, so he can be regarded as a disciple of Buddhism. Buddhism pays attention to compassion, and this stone monkey not only kills the living, but also takes pleasure in admiring the struggle of others before death. Some reason to be annoyed.
"These thieves are not good people, they are not innocent." Sun Wukong said.
Chu Zi didn't speak, his lips were tightly closed, and there was a vague coldness in his expressionless face.
Chu Zi's silence made Sun Wukong feel annoyed and nervous for no reason, and he insisted stubbornly: "They deserve to die."
Chu Zi still didn't speak, he just stood there and looked at Monkey King quietly.
His original amber eyes seemed to be covered by a piece of darkness in the night, and they were no longer the kind of water-like warmth and softness that Sun Wukong was familiar with, but a faint, unpredictable, Can't tell the depth of the coldness.
At this moment, it seemed that all the approachable and friendly feeling in him disappeared, and turned into a sense of distance that others could not get close to.
Sun Wukong didn't like this man who was already his master to look at him with such eyes, which made Sun Wukong feel very strange and strange, that kind of eyes seemed like he was just an insignificant existence and was completely excluded.
Sun Wukong suddenly felt a little wronged, he didn't think he did something wrong, all he killed were villains! "I'm not wrong!" Sun Wukong raised his voice and said, "They deserve to die!"
Hearing this, Chu Qi's face turned completely cold, and a look of disappointment appeared in the eyes looking at Monkey King.
And Sun Wukong's temper has also come up. He is not a gentle character himself, and the grievance and boredom in his heart completely exploded after seeing the disappointment in Chu Zi's eyes, so he disappeared in the next second without saying a word. in place.
Chu Zi glanced at the corpse on the ground, and returned to the farmyard in silence.
After comforting the frightened old farmer and the little boy, when Chu Qi entered the room, he found a gleaming and gorgeous flower hat on the wooden table.
Chu Zi walked to the wooden table and saw a black note under the flower hat.
At the top of the note was written a row of large characters——
The stone monkey is stubborn, if he refuses to be disciplined, after he puts on a flower hat, you can control him by reciting a mantra.
Right below this typesetting is a string of golden Sanskrit mantras.
Chu Zi knew instantly in his heart, this was left by Guanyin.
The tight hoop used to trap Monkey King in the original book was changed from this flower hat.
Although the process of obtaining the flower hat and the spell is different from that recorded in the original book, the final result is the same—the flower hat came into his hands, and he also memorized the magic spell.
But Chu Zi is not the Tang monk in the original book, and he doesn't need to use a tight hoop to restrain Monkey King. He has his own thinking and his own set of principles.
In Chu Zi's view, what can really bind a person is not a cold dead thing, but emotion.
After burning the note with the spell on it on the flame of the candle, Chu Zi put the flower hat at the bottom of the luggage and did not intend to take it out again.After finishing all this, Chu Zi took out another thing from a small cloth bag.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Monkey King stood alone by the river, throwing small stones into the river as if venting his anger.
The moonlight shone on Monkey King, he lowered his head, the broken hair on his forehead drooped, his eyelashes drooped, and he looked pitiful.
This look, obviously he ran away in anger, but it was more like someone abandoned him because they didn't want him.
Watching the splash of small stones falling into the river, Sun Wukong's mind came up with the disappointed expression of disapproval when his master Tang Sanzang looked at him.
why...
Sun Wukong muttered, why does this monk look at him with that kind of eyes!
There was nothing wrong with him!
The few people he killed were all villains, and they were all innocent!
After thinking about it this way, Monkey King became even more upset.
And at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind Sun Wukong.
Listening to the approaching footsteps, although Sun Wukong guessed who was coming, he didn't turn his head, but the boredom in his heart dissipated a lot with the sound.
Monkey King knew that the person who came was his master Tang Sanzang.
But he didn't pay attention to this monk.
Although he couldn't see Monkey King's expression at the moment, Chu Zi knew that Monkey King must still be angry.
Chu Zi walked to the side of Monkey King, and his eyes fell on the rippling water with Monkey King, "Are you still angry?" Chu Zi spoke first.
When Sun Wukong heard this sentence, he just felt a little ridiculous, obviously it was the monk who was angry, wasn't he?Now he asked him in turn.Although he was indeed angry later, and he is still very upset until now, but Monkey King will never admit it.
"No." Sun Wukong said these two words coldly.
Chu Zi didn't care about Sun Wukong's cold tone, he tilted his head slightly and said, "Wukong, let me show you something."
"dont see."
Chu Zi raised her eyebrows and stopped talking, just staring at Monkey King's side face with calm eyes.
One second...two seconds...three seconds...
In the end, Monkey King still couldn't collapse anymore. He scratched his hair in annoyance, and looked at Chu Zi beside him as if admitting defeat, "What do you want to show me?"
Chu Zi didn't answer directly, but smiled lightly, and said to Sun Wukong: "Wukong, stretch out your hand."
"Why?" Sun Wukong said so, but after seeing the smile in Chu Zi's eyes, although his expression was reluctant, he obediently stretched out his hand, and under Chu Zi's gesture, he extended his hand spread out.
"What do you want to show me..." Before Sun Wukong finished speaking, Chu Zi put the thing in his hand into Monkey King's palm, "Here you are."
hard.
Monkey King looked down and found that there was a square candy in his palm.At this moment, Sun Wukong's mood suddenly became very delicate.
Sun Wukong had been to the human world before learning spells from the Bodhi ancestor, so he naturally knew that the thing wrapped in flower-green paper was candy.
But it was precisely because he knew that he was surprised.
Candy is sweet, and Monkey King has never eaten it, because only children like to eat candy, and only children will be happy when they receive candy.
Candy is for children, and he is not a child.
The candy doesn't do him any good.
Monkey King thought so in his heart, but looking at the candy in his hand, Monkey King's brows that had been frowning all the time relaxed at this moment, and the corners of his lips also evoked a subtle arc that he hadn't even noticed.
Chu Zi, who had been paying attention to Monkey King, naturally did not miss the change on Monkey King's face. He said slowly, "Wukong, this is my apology."
"apologize?"
Chu Zi nodded, his eyes looked forward, the rippling river surface was shining like silver gauze under the moonlight, "As your master, after discovering that you acted impulsively, I should explain to you Right or wrong, to guide you correctly, instead of saying nothing and using silence to deny you wordlessly."
Sun Wukong's lips moved, he didn't expect Chu Zi to say that, the last trace of depression that had been choked in his heart suddenly dissipated at this moment.
It was also at this moment that Monkey King discovered that what really made him feel aggrieved and uncomfortable was not because he thought he was right and others disagreed.
What really caught his attention, and the reason why he ran here irritatedly, was that his master Tang Sanzang didn't say anything, and when he looked at him, he looked at him like a stranger.
Because he, Monkey King, is not incapable of listening to any reasoning, nor is he obsessed with doing things his own way, refusing to listen to other people's sincere comfort. As long as you talk to him well, he will listen very seriously, and even try to change it.
"You..." Sun Wukong stared at Chu Zi in a daze.
Chu Zi felt Sun Wukong's gaze. He looked at Monkey King again, his eyes slightly bent, and said softly, "So... Wukong, please forgive me." There was an irresistible tenderness in his pupils. halo.
"What...what..." Sun Wukong stuttered suddenly, and a strange blush appeared on his handsome face. He staggered his gaze, looked up at the sky, and changed the subject: "Is...is it...coming soon It's about time..."
When Chu Qi heard the words, she also raised her head and glanced at the sky, "Wukong."
Chu Zi called Sun Wukong's name in a low voice.
Monkey King also responded in a low voice, "Yes." He became quiet, as if he knew that Chu Zi had something to say next.
"Buddhism is compassionate, and it pays more attention to the cause and effect of everything. What kind of punishment should those thieves receive? Whether they can have a chance to correct their mistakes, or whether they have committed a serious crime and can only die. This needs to be weighed."
"Even if you have to kill, you must not abuse them." Chu's voice was neither high nor low, like the water flowing slowly in the mountains bathed in spring breeze: "Wukong, I know you don't want to be bound by the rules, but you Now that I have become a Buddhist disciple..."
Speaking of this, Chu Zi looked into Sun Wukong's eyes, "Can you promise me that you will not act impulsively like before?"
agree?
Sun Wukong lowered his eyes, glanced at the candy in his hand, and said softly, "Okay." Facing Tang Sanzang like this, he couldn't refuse.
Hearing Sun Wukong's answer, Chu Zi raised a beautiful arc on the corner of his lips. He tapped the candy in Monkey King's palm with his index finger, "Then Wukong eats this candy now, and we will settle our suspicions, okay?" ?”
Sun Wukong snorted softly.What is this, slap him, and give him another candy.Sure enough, his monkey grandchildren were right, mortals are too cunning!
Even though he thought so, Sun Wukong still tore off the candy paper at Chu Zi's line, and fed this candy, which represented the reconciliation between the two, into his mouth.
The rich sugar flavor slowly melted in Sun Wukong's mouth, as sweet and greasy as thick honey.
It turns out that this is mortal candy.
Sun Wukong touched the candy lightly with the tip of his tongue. He didn't like to eat too sweet things, but he didn't reject the sweetness of this candy at all, and was very happy, letting the sweetness flow into his throat slowly, and then Straight to the apex of his heart.
At this moment, it seemed that something was falling into Monkey King's heart along with this sweetness.
Chu Zi smiled lightly: "Let's go, we should go back."
Sun Wukong nodded: "Okay."
＊＊＊＊＊＊
The river was still some distance away from the farmyard. On the way back, Chu Qi and Monkey King walked side by side.
Under the night, the moonlight elongated the figures of the two.
Chu Zi and Monkey King are not very close, but the reflections on the ground are close to each other because of the illusion of angle, and the arms of the shadows even overlap.
It's like two people are holding hands.
Looking at the reflection, Monkey King inexplicably thought of this strange point.He turned his head and glanced at the master who was walking by his side. After his eyes touched the exquisite side face of the master, Monkey King suddenly thought of the matter that those thieves mistook this person for a woman.
His master is indeed very good-looking, the best-looking person he has ever seen.
Those gods in the sky are not as good as his master.
Those goblins who thought their looks were deceiving were not half as good as his master.
Moreover, Sun Wukong always felt that his master was different from everyone here. There seemed to be a kind of hazy feeling around his master, which made him unable to see clearly.
That is something that neither the humans, demons, nor Buddhas here possess.
He is competitive and has a strong desire to explore by nature. He wants to find out what is the origin of the sense of difference brought to him by his master.
After thinking about it this way, Sun Wukong actually began to look forward to the trip to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures with his master.
