[Journey to the West] Tucao Emperor who was delayed by Buddhism

The lower world is in full swing, but the South China Sea is as quiet as if there has never been a single wind. In this extreme silence, only the bamboo leaves are rustling. Those leaves seem to have their own will, whispering something softly in secret words Little secrets, whispering, whispering, ringing softly through the ages.

When Shancai Dragon Girl came back, Hui An and I were playing a game of chess, and the game had come to an end, but the ending was still the same: he won and I lost.

Hui An calmly made the last piece, and seeing that the overall situation was settled, a trace of complacency finally appeared in his eyes, and he said: "Master is too afraid of losing in chess, so he has never been able to win."

When did this kid become so powerful?

I said: "Although I have lost you seven times in the past 300 years, haven't you lost me nine times? Why are you so proud of winning this time?"

Hui An unexpectedly pursed his lips, laughed and said, "In the past, I have always won by a narrow margin, but this time, I know in my heart that I will definitely win?"

I looked at the game of chess that I lost so badly, and asked, "Why?"

There was a confident light in Hui An's eyes, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Because I know you better than you know yourself, so you are destined to lose to me."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his slender hand, picked up the chess pieces just now one by one, and said: "Master, your moves are too steady, you don't want to take any risks no matter what, you always want to save all your chess pieces, throw a piece I can't bear it. Let me tell you: you are too stingy, you never do things that sacrifice the small situation to save the big situation, so you always lose to me."

I saw that he seemed to be overly complacent, so I reminded him: "You make such risky moves, and you always put all the pieces on top to win a narrow victory, but if you make a wrong move, you will lose the whole game. Is the price really worth it?" ?”

He casually raised his eyes to look at me, lowered his head and said with a smile: "It's worth it to win an old fox like you. It's not easy for me to win a game against you. You know everything. I know nothing about the future except you. It's not a fair game."

I turned my head to look at Shancai Dragon Girl, and asked, "Didn't the two of you ask Tang Monk, Master and Disciple to enter the city, why did you come back?"

I was originally distracted to watch their lower bounds, but Hui An's attack was too ruthless, killing me without leaving a piece of armor. Seeing that the chess was about to lose, I didn't pay attention to what happened next.

Shancai said: "It's terrible, that idiot Baitian is here again, bringing his two apprentices, gnawing around, and can't be provoked."

Hui An put away the full board, leaving only an empty board, and said to me: "Master, let's make a bet."

I glanced at him in surprise, and suddenly saw him throwing a chess piece to me, and said: "There is nothing wrong with the heaven and earth, idleness is idleness, how about watching a play with the affairs of the lower realm, and you and I bet on the outcome?"

I smiled wryly and said, "What are you betting on? The gods betting on things in the lower realms, isn't it a bit too cruel?"

Hui An smiled slightly, raised her long eyebrows lightly, and regardless of what I said, put the sunspots in her hand on the chessboard, and said with a smile: "I bet those three great immortals will not die well."

Shancai lowered his eyes, came over and sat down, took a chess piece from Hui An and placed it on the chessboard, saying: "I bet the king will finally believe in Buddhism."

Seeing that I was not moving, Longnu took a chess piece from my hand and said: "The left and right are not allowed to intervene even if they are killing each other, so why not treat it as a farce and watch it from beginning to end?"

I said, "Why is it a farce?"

The dragon girl said: "The farce started with the king. The king prayed to the gods and worshiped the Buddha, but he didn't do good deeds first. He only wanted to be redeemed by the gods. If the gods didn't save him, he would kill him wantonly. And the monster was caught in the middle, trying to overthrow the temple while trying to overthrow the temple. If he wants to build his own altar, and cause and effect cycle, where will he get good rewards?"

Saying that, I put my white stones on the chessboard: "I bet on Master to lose, but Master is cowardly, he loses every game of chess, let alone betting on winning or losing."

???

What are you betting on?

Shancai lazily said: "You are cheating like this."

The Dragon Girl squinted at him: "If you cheat, you cheat, what can you do to me?"

You take my chess pieces and bet on me to lose?

I said depressedly; "You have already gambled, so what else should I gamble on? After all, what conditions do you want?"

Shancai reminded me: "You can also bet on the four masters and apprentices, or bet on Silly Baitian and his two little magic stars. The premise is good, you can predict it, no spoilers are allowed!"

I said helplessly: "Fine, then I bet his two little demon stars will definitely make trouble."

Shancai said: "Look, look, you're cheating. There's nothing to bet on. How about this, I bet that two will die in the hands of Monkey King and one will lose to Little Demon Star, and Brother Hui An will bet that all three will die." In the hands of Monkey King, how about you bet that one will die in the hands of Monkey King and the other two cheap little magic stars?"

I said sadly: "Whatever, what will happen if you lose?"

Hui An snatched the chess piece from Shancai, and said in a muffled voice, "I lost, and I promised Master one thing. Master lost, and promised me one thing."

I looked at Shancai again: "What about you?"

Shancai lazily said: "I just want to gamble, I don't want any winning prizes, but I am willing to gamble and admit defeat, it's up to you."

I looked at Longnu again and asked, "What do you want?"

The Dragon Girl suddenly clapped her hands and laughed, "If I win, we will gamble again in the future."

Her proposal is the most mischievous, and I now understand that these small partnerships have tricked me, and I have lost to them.

Just as we were talking, Red Boy came over suddenly, looked at our chess pieces on the table, and asked, "What are you doing? What is this black and white?"

Shancai explained to him: "Now there are three people who instigated the king to kill people. The gods can't help him, and now he is going to be punished by monsters. The people on this table are the king, monsters, and Buddhist scriptures. Let's bet who will win and who will lose?" .”

The red boy tilted his head, blinked his eyes and said: "This is interesting, but sitting like this is too boring, why don't we add a rule: we can go down to play tricks for those who have placed bets, you let this one win, he let that one win, How about playing like this?"

……

The four of us all looked at him with terrified eyes.

Hui An was the first to speak: "...not good."

Shancai was terrified: "You are so scary, I won't play anymore."

Long Nu said: "I didn't hear anything, I'm leaving."

I also said: "I don't play anymore, you guys make trouble."

At the end, Hui An said out of nowhere: "If you don't play, you should be willing to gamble and admit defeat. If Master loses, don't forget that you have to promise me something."

……

I have an ominous premonition again.

The author has something to say:

To someone who has been asking me why I wrote two obnoxious brats:

Because they are characters, they are the components of the butterfly effect, they are the last straw before the avalanche, and each segment is closely connected with the ending, so each character will have their ending and their foreshadowing. They want to promote the plot, so They are important.Characters are just characters. Just because I wrote this does not mean that I admire them. There are good and bad characters.

I don't mind every reader expressing their own views on the characters, but it is the most basic courtesy to express the likes and dislikes of the characters without implicating the author, thank you.
