Me and countless me

Sun Wukong finally gave Zhu Bajie a happy life, and Zhu Bajie walked very peacefully, without any struggle or unwillingness.

But while walking on the road, Sun Wukong looked at the dilapidated Gao Laozhuang and the people in the ruins who looked at his master with hatred in their eyes. Sun Wukong still didn't understand what Li Ke did.

So when he was resting that night, Sun Wukong couldn't help but asked Li Ke.

"Master, no one cares what Zhu Bajie thinks, right?"

Li Ke sat next to the fire, looking at Sun Wukong who was full of doubts, and knew what he was thinking.

That is, no one asked him to avenge Zhu Bajie and seek justice, and no one cared about Zhu Bajie's thoughts. Zhu Bajie had degenerated into a monster.

"Wukong, what do you think is the definition of a demon?"

Li Ke looked at Sun Wukong and asked about the biggest difference between him and Sun Wukong.

"Is it parentage?"

Sun Wukong subconsciously expressed his thoughts, while Li Ke shook his head.

"No, it's cognition."

"People have integrity, and anything without shame is a monster in my eyes. If you want to eat even intelligent creatures, then you are a monster, not a living person. So you have always been in my heart. It’s a human being, not a monkey or a monster. After all, there is reincarnation in this world, and your race in a certain life cannot explain your eternal origin.”

Li Ke's words shocked Sun Wukong, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was normal. However, looking at Li Ke, Sun Wukong still couldn't imagine what kind of experience it took to give birth to such a monk.

But it seems that other people have deliberately forgotten that reincarnation can change a person's race and origin at will, so the origin of a certain life, as Li Ke said, is really nothing...

"Then you forgot, or you didn't want to?"

Sun Wukong wanted to laugh a little.

Silent all the way, the two people continued to walk forward. When they passed an eight hundred-mile Liusha River, Li Ke looked at the sky-high water and waited for the arrival of Sha Monk.

Not for anything else, but to kill Sha Seng.

Sha Seng was once a curtain-rolling general and an official in heaven, but he still cannibalized people after he came down to earth. So even Zhu Bajie died, so there was absolutely no reason for Sha Seng to survive, right?

It's just that Li Ke waited at Liusha River for three whole days without seeing a ghost, as if Sha Monk had never appeared here.

So Li Ke couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Liushahe.

"Sure enough, the Three Realms and Six Paths are all about relationships. Wukong, go to heaven and ask for a way to cross the river."

Sitting cross-legged on the beach, Li Ke felt very unhappy.

It was obvious that someone saw Zhu Bajie's fate and decisively took Sha Seng away. Even in the Eastern immortal system, there are such people. Li Ke is really a little melancholy.

Sun Wukong has never read Journey to the West, so he naturally doesn't know why Li Ke is so upset, but he knows one thing -

"Master, one day in the sky and one year on the earth. It will take me more than ten days to get there. You won't be impatient with waiting, so you will forcefully open a road through the Liusha River, right?"

Sun Wukong looked at Li Ke and felt that his master might find a way to fill up the river because he couldn't wait any longer, or to build a bridge directly on the river and put it on someone else's body. This was unlikely, but if it was The words of my master...

"Wukong, what nonsense are you talking about? How could my master be so irrational?"

Li Ke couldn't help but frown, looked at Sun Wukong, and spoke word by word.

"Doing this will affect the ecology near the Liusha River. It will be bad if there are people living downstream, so I will not blow away the Liusha River. To do more is to move a rocky mountain and then flatten it. , Just build a stone bridge.”

Sun Wukong: “…………”

I knew it!

Rubbing his temples, Sun Wukong was about to say something. The next moment, a familiar cry appeared.

"Great Sage! Long time no see!"

Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, and then he saw a boy dressed in armor but dressed as a boy falling from the sky on two balls of flame, and just landed next to the two of them.

"Third Prince Nezha?! Why are you here?"

Looking at Nezha falling next to him, Sun Wukong was filled with question marks.

Nezha chuckled lightly, saluted the monkey, then glanced at Li Ke, who also stood up to salute, and then pointed to the Liusha River.

"The God of the Liusha River said that there was a man-eating monster in the Liusha River, so the Jade Emperor ordered me to come and clean it up. I came here without any trouble, and then I realized that this man-eating monster was demoted to earth. The curtain-rolling general has now been sent back to reincarnation and started to practice again. I originally planned to go to heaven and return to life, but I never expected to see the great sage here! Seeing that you are in trouble for this quicksand river, I want to help you. A helping hand!”

He said it seriously, as if his appearance was an accident, but only Li Ke knew that Nezha's appearance was definitely not an accident, but the result of his deal with Guanyin.

And the fact that Nezha can appear here is also the result of the tacit approval of the Great Heavenly Lord.

This god of death can be used by him.

However, in the end, whether Nezha is willing to follow him or not depends on his own words.

"Long time no see, the Great God of Santan Haihui."

Li Ke stood up and came to Nezha. He looked at the man who once hunted his father to the west and saluted slightly.

At that time, he still claimed to be Jin Chanzi, and he didn't say that he was Li Ke much anymore. But now, he looks at the Santan Haihui God as Li Ke, not as Jin Chanzi. See you Nezha.

"Long time no see, Jin Chanzi."

Nezha also saluted. He still remembered how Jin Chanzi supported him when other people accused him of killing his father, but he was even more curious about why Li Ke returned to Xitian.

He had specifically investigated Li Ke's situation in the past few days, and knew that Li Ke would definitely not be able to talk well when he returned to Xitian this time.

Tianzhu is not an easy place to win over. The World Honored One is so active in order to allow Tianzhu to completely enter the jurisdiction of the heaven. Therefore, countless people either agree with or obstruct Li Ke, but even the most stubborn Tianzhu members They all know one thing very well.

It is only a matter of time before the Tianzhu system is crushed by the Tianting system.

Tianzhu's local gods and demons could naturally live their own happy lives when the Great Heavenly Lord formed the Heavenly Court, but after the Great Heavenly Lord freed up his hands, things were naturally different.

Therefore, even those in Tianzhu who resisted did not dare to resist openly.

But the golden cicada in front of him chose this moment to carry out liquidation!

It is not a gentle integration into the heavenly system as the World Honored One has chosen, but a vigorous cleansing to kill all the scum in Buddhism and eliminate all the bad habits of Tianzhu!

It is precisely because of this that Jin Chanzi was driven out and became a mortal.

He really wanted to know why Jin Chanzi had to do this, and why did this once very gentle monk choose this path.

So, looking at Li Ke, Nezha asked.

"Master can easily cross this quicksand river as long as he waits for me to arrive. Why do you want to build a bridge while waiting? If there is an accident, wouldn't it delay a major event?"

He asked his question, and Li Ke looked at the turbid Liusha River with undercurrents and smiled softly.

"What's the point of the road I've walked if other people can't walk it again? If the road I've walked is still as difficult as before, and I still need the help of gods to pass it, then Does my experience really leave traces, and how meaningful can it be?"

"But you got over it eventually, didn't you?"

"It has passed, but the problem of Liusha River is still there, and the hidden dangers here are still there. I went west to save all sentient beings, and if the problems of Liusha River are ignored, then who are the sentient beings I want to save? What’s the meaning of the scriptures that come here?”

After a pause, Li Ke looked at Nezha and asked.

"And there is no point in seeing problems without solving them. It makes no sense to let the problems exist forever, because even if there is peace on the surface, the cracks are still there, and they will still make people fearful and uneasy, and they will never be at peace."

Nezha laughed out loud and couldn't help laughing. When Sun Wukong saw the two people playing with each other, he couldn't help but yawned. These are the things he hates the most.

Literary, as if it is so difficult to live a carefree life in this world.

But it seems that it is not that easy.

But the monkey also knows that Li Jing is the one who will never have peace now.

Because Nezha stayed with Li Jing not to kill Li Jing. But to remind Li Jing that he can kill him at any time without the tower!

Li Ke knew this very well. He knew very well that Nezha would not really kill Li Jing. After all, Li Jing was a famous person on the list of gods and the king of heaven.

But does Li Jing in this world dare to gamble? Do you dare to bet that Nezha will be relieved? Can you believe that you really asked your son to forgive you?

He did everything to the best of his ability, made everything irreversible, and turned everything into an irreversible state. Moreover, he had to watch Nezha by his side, while he was always and everywhere. He had to drag a pagoda to save his life. He was always reminded that after Nezha cut his flesh and bones, he still wanted to put him to death.

He will drag that pagoda with him for eternity and eternity, and in this way, this pagoda...

Who are you suppressing?

And who is being tortured forever?

After laughing, Nezha also felt a little melancholy.

He finally understood why Jin Chanzi would ask the World Honored One to give the two father and son a chance to defend themselves.

And why did Buddha ignore him and accept himself as his adopted son?

Because if it’s the person in front of you——

Li Jing may not be able to survive, but the complicated entanglement between him and Li Jing can be dissipated and no longer torture the two people.

In this matter, the Buddha's punishment was actually more severe. But perhaps it can also be said that the Buddha wanted Li Jing to realize this himself, so that the two of them could truly feel relieved.

Or there is no need to feel relieved.

But what's going on?

Nezha closed his eyes and asked his last question.

"Does the holy monk think that what Nezha did back then was wrong?"

Li Ke shook his head. He didn't know what happened in other worlds, but at least in this world, it happened because the patrolling Yaksha wanted to eat young boys and girls.

So he shook his head decisively.

"What's wrong with killing demons? Those who are wrong are those who have discovered their own weaknesses but are unwilling to admit it."

Li Ke's words made Nezha open his eyes and speak to Li Ke.

"I heard that the holy monk has a skill to build a pagoda?"

Li Ke smiled and nodded.

"Yes."

So Nezha immediately bowed down, and under the gloomy gaze of Li Jing in the sky, he bowed to Li Ke.

"Please teach me, sir!"

It's over!

Li Jing in the cloud was shocked and wanted to find the Jade Emperor. After all, he remembered very clearly that the pagoda in his hand was built by Jin Chanzi, and now Nezha went to Jin Chanzi to learn the technology of building a pagoda. It was needless to say what he wanted to do.

Li Jing knew very well what he had done to his son, and he also knew very well that this killing god would never do meaningless things.

And at this moment, it is hard to say that he is not trying to scare himself by playing hard to get, or that he really wants to kill himself!

However...

Li Jing dare not bet, dare not bet that Nezha is trying to scare him, not to kill him.

He really dare not bet, even for his own fame, he dare not bet!

So this matter must be told to the Great Heavenly Venerable, and it must be put on the table, so that everyone knows, so that Nezha dare not act casually!

Li Jing in this world flew towards the Heavenly Court uneasily, eager to find a solution.

Even though he knew that Li Ke and Nezha might be deliberately scaring him, he still didn't have the capital to bet!

But just as he left, Erlang Shen, who was far away, sighed.

He actually didn't want to come, but a person he hated asked him to come here to see what Li Ke's intentions were.

Does he really want to change, or is it just like those things in Tianzhu that are not presentable, just wanting to show the Heavenly Court that he still exists and not forget them when dividing the fiefdoms.

If it is the former, then he will also join the team to obtain scriptures, but if it is the latter...

As long as Jin Chanzi does his job well and doesn't jump out to do things, the Heavenly Court will not be unable to tolerate him.

It's just another clay sculpture that is unwilling to face his true heart!
