MTL - The Monkey King-Chapter 712 :waste time?
Bright sunshine, in the middle of the surrounding pool, a pavilion stands. King Ksitigarbha was sitting under the gazebo quietly sipping tea.
"Master, please this way."
Not far away, the goat spirit and the six-eared macaque hurried through the arch.
Seeing Ksitigarbha from a distance, the six-eared macaque stopped immediately.
The two looked at each other silently across a pool.
After a long time, King Jizo smiled lightly and put down the teacup in his hand. The six-eared macaque sighed deeply and walked towards him quickly along the winding corridor.
"Don't come here." King Ksitigarbha lowered his eyes and sighed while sipping the tea in his hand: "Compared with the last time we met, your Excellency is much more beautiful now. It's really been three days, and I'm impressed. ."
"Tell me. You came to me, what's the matter." The six-eared macaque sat on the opposite side of the stone table, widened its eyes, and stared at Ksitigarbha.
However, King Ksitigarbha looked left and right, as if he was much more interested in the scenery in this courtyard than the six-eared macaque.
"you guess."
"Don't beat around the bush, just say what you have to say, and let your farts go!"
Until then, King Ksitigarbha glanced at the six-eared macaque. I saw that the six-eared macaque was already gnashing its teeth, anger beyond words.
"Let's talk about it first." After a while, King Ksitigarbha sighed softly: "After so long, Your Excellency must have a lot of things you want to tell the poor monk, or you want to ask the poor monk."
"Also." The six-eared macaque held the table with both hands and stared at King Ksitigarbha: "Why did you save me in the first place?"
"If the poor monk said. The poor monk is compassionate, do you believe it?"
"Of course I don't believe it! You must have your purpose in saving me!"
"Since you already have the answer in your heart, why bother asking?"
"You!" The six-eared macaque was at a loss for words.
If it was someone else, dare to speak to the six-eared macaque in such a teasing tone. Presumably the six-eared macaques were already furious at this time. Even if it doesn't make the other party's head different, it will definitely make the other party's life worse than death.
However, for Buddhists...especially those who have the ability to save themselves from the calamity and know many things that they don't know, the six-eared macaques are somewhat afraid.
After finally pressing down the anger in his heart, the six-eared macaque gritted his teeth and whispered: "Okay, if you want to say it. I won't ask. Anyway, it doesn't make any sense to ask. If that's the case, then tell me what you want to say. If you suddenly came to the lion and camel country, you wouldn't be passing by, would you?"
King Ksitigarbha looked up at the sky and said, "That's definitely not the case."
"Since it's not, what's the purpose of you coming to our Lion and Camel Country?"
"The poor monk came to Lionel Country to bring a few words to your Excellency. It is a reminder. It is also an advice."
"you say!"
Hearing the words, Ksitigarbha King smiled faintly, got up slowly, and stretched out a finger: "One, Heavenly Tribulation."
Hearing this sentence, the heart of the six-eared macaque suddenly froze, and it was a little empty.
"Heaven... When will the calamity come?"
"This, the poor monk doesn't know." Ksitigarbha said with his hands behind his back: "Maybe soon, maybe... It will take another year and a half, but it won't be long anyway."
"You're here to remind me of this?"
"Of course not only."
said. Ksitigarbha King pursed his lips and took a few steps back and forth. From beginning to end, the six-eared macaque never took his eyes off him.
However, for a while, King Jizo didn't say a word, just kept looking around. That feeling, said to be organizing language. It's better to say that you are wandering.
Finally, the six-eared macaque became impatient, and snorted coldly: "What do you mean? Since it's not only, you don't say it. If that's the case, why come to me to waste time?"
King Ksitigarbha turned back leisurely, looked at the six-eared macaque and asked, "Is this poor monk a waste of time?"
"Is not it?"
King Ksitigarbha pretended to be enlightened, and asked casually, "Then... how much time did the poor monk waste?"
"It was a waste..." Before he finished speaking, the six-eared macaque had come to his senses. He stood up and said angrily, "What do you mean? Did you make a special trip to tease me?"
After saying this, King Jizo laughed.
On both sides of the stone table, there are six-eared macaques in anger on one side, and the smiling Ksitigarbha King on the other.
Being laughed at by King Ksitigarbha, the six-eared macaque suddenly felt a little emptier in his heart.
"What exactly do you mean?"
"Actually, it doesn't make much sense." King Ksitigarbha calmed down a little, then shook his sleeves and said, "The poor monk just wasted less than a stick of incense, and your Excellency is already angry. But it's true, The catastrophe is just around the corner, your time is precious, how can it be wasted? But…”
The six-eared macaque was a little stunned, and he looked at the Ksitigarbha King in astonishment.
After taking a deep breath, King Ksitigarbha continued: "But, since your time is so precious, why waste it? You are not wasting a mere stick of incense, but days and months. ."
The six-eared macaque's eyes slowly narrowed into slits: "What do you mean?"
"It doesn't make any sense." Ksitigarbha King chuckled: "The poor monk is just reminding Your Excellency that everything Your Excellency is doing now is a waste of time."
"What am I doing is a waste of time?" The six-eared macaque's voice suddenly rose an octave.
King Ksitigarbha's expression changed, and he shouted in a voice that overshadowed the six-eared macaque: "Isn't it?"
Suddenly, the entire courtyard was quiet.
The six-eared macaque opened its eyes slightly and stared at the King of Ksitigarbha.
King Jizo also opened his eyes wide and looked at the six-eared macaque.
"You want to replace the original Monkey King, so you listen to the words of the multi-eyed monster, defeat the demon king of the Lion and Camel Kingdom, bring them under his command, and rebuild the demon kingdom, right?"
"right!"
"You want to replace the original Monkey King, so you listened to Peng Demon King's words and brought Yang Chan from Huashan Jie, right?"
"right!"
"You want to replace the original Monkey King, so you listen to Yang Chan's words, intimidate the three realms, use the power of the entire lion and camel country, and prepare to move the capital to Huaguo Mountain, right?"
"Yes..." Being asked one by one like this, coupled with Ksitigarbha King's blade-like gaze, the six-eared macaque suddenly felt a little lack of confidence. He asked back with a little doubt: "Could it be that I do this, is there any problem?"
"Of course there is a problem." King Ksitigarbha crossed his hands and said slowly: "Actually, if you want to replace the original Monkey King, you only need to do one thing."
"whats the matter?"
"Let him be taken away by the robbery instead of you!"
"This…"
"On the contrary, if you are finally taken away by the robbery, then what you do now is useless. Because when there is only one Monkey King left, it doesn't matter whether it is true or false!"
…
The candles were burning squeakly, and the night wind slowly blew through the window.
The six-eared macaque was sitting by the window, his rounded eyes staring out of the window, bloodshot.
King Jizo's words kept repeating in his mind.
"Have I told her about the catastrophe?"
"I remember I said once... She shouldn't forget something so important."
"Since she knows, why should I go to great lengths to move the capital instead of trying to defeat my opponent?"
After a long time, he slowly closed his eyes.
King Jizo was right, he was wasting his time. During this time, he was completely confused.
In the heart of the multi-eyed monster, there is only the revival of the demon clan. What he cares about is not his own great saint at all. Not to mention other monsters.
As for what was in Yang Chan's heart, no one knew.
From beginning to end, no one really stands on the same position as himself. Even King Jizo did not stand on the same side as himself. But at least... what he said was right. Impeccable.
However, how should you defeat your opponent?
The six-eared macaque still remembers the last collision .
Thinking about it, he only felt a faint pain in his temples.
To truly become the Monkey King is not that easy. It is a pity that Buddhism, who has the ability to help himself, has only an ambiguous attitude from beginning to end.
what should we do?
There was a slight knock on the door.
"Come in."
The door slowly opened.
The goat spirit bowed and walked in cautiously.
"My minister, see the Great Sage."
The six-eared macaque said impatiently, "It's so late, what's the matter?"
"Something happened." The goat cleared his throat and whispered: "There are a few murderers in the east of the city who want to escape from the lion and camel country, but they were captured by the border army."
"Escape? Why escape."
"They..." After swallowing dryly, Goat Jing said carefully: "They feel that the laws of the Lion and Camel Kingdom are too strict, especially the shipbuilding plan, so that..."
"what?"
The six-eared macaque opened its eyes slightly.
The moment he opened his eyes, the goat spirit was so frightened that he fell to his knees and shivered. He hurriedly shouted: "I have already told them that the strict laws are for the rise of the demon clan. But they are still stubborn. . This matter has been reported to Lady Notre Dame, Lady Notre Dame asked me to put those murderers to death... I'll do it now! I'll do it now!"
After saying that, the goat spirit banged its head three times in a row, and was about to get up and exit the door.
"Stop!"
Being drunk by the six-eared macaque, the goat spirit stopped quickly, but still did not dare to look up.
Bean-sized beads of sweat fell from his forehead drop by drop.
looked out the window and was silent for a long time, before the six-eared macaque said softly: "Do you... do you think this law is too strict?"
"I dare not!"
"Why don't you come to me at midnight? Say it! Forgive you!"
After taking this reassuring pill, the goat spirit mustered up the courage, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "I think the law is indeed a bit harsh. Punishment is necessary, but... if you kill them because of this, I'm afraid it will be in the future. …”
Before he finished speaking, the six-eared macaque was already striding past the goat spirit.
"Walk!"
"Master, you... where are you going?"
"Notre Dame!" (To be continued~^~)
