Annie's voice echoed in the cafeteria, and also caused ripples in everyone's hearts. Tony took a sip of his soda and said, "But little sister Gracie's power doesn't seem to have any lethality and is very fragile." After all, it's just a painting. Woban smiled and said: "If she is just one person, it is indeed not a powerful power in terms of strength. In addition, she is not good at fighting...it is really nothing." The implication is that Gratius being with other people is a situation that is enough to make the God Killer feel threatened. "Hey!" Tony swallowed the fruit and was a little curious, "I remember that power was obtained because of a wish, right? So what is sister Gracie's wish?" "pigment." Without any doubts, everyone present answered in unison. "If the world is compared to a painting, then Gracie is a person who paints on an already perfected painting. She uses paint to paint and covers the original paint." There was a glint in Woban's eyes. Alek couldn't help but gasped: "This is simply a fake God... It really opened my eyes."
Luo Hao frowned slightly, showing displeasure and regret. "Gracie will habitually absorb everything around her and use it as paint for painting. If it wasn't a big problem in the past, now she will paint 'worlds' one after another." "It's really too dangerous to even embody the colors of gods, nature, immortals, and monsters." She shook her head: "I'm afraid she won't be able to sketch freely in the future." No one present refuted this point, just because they didn't care, but Graciu's guardian did. At this time, Tony seemed to have remembered something and asked: "By the way, where is the lady?" "She is taking care of Gratius." Alec nodded slightly, with a calm expression. "After all, she is one of the few among us who will not be affected by Gradt's paintings. I don't know why, but I don't feel surprised at all." …… At this time, Aisha looked at the gem that Gratius had written and asked curiously: "What is this?" "Sister Ying's sword, and Sister Hua's feathers." "----?" Aisha looked at the purple and amber crystals and tilted her head, not understanding it at all. Never lie to your lover: Chapter 127: Adults don’t just look at monkeys "Seeking peace of mind" is a Confucian concept. The so-called "peace of mind" means an indulgent heart and a lost heart. The earliest version comes from "Shang Shu·Bi Ming": "Although I am relieved, I am still in trouble." It means: Even if the indulgent heart has been restrained, the restraint on oneself cannot be relaxed. Mencius promoted this point of view and believed that "there is no other way to learn, just ask for peace of mind." The word "rest assured" here also means "lost heart". In short, if you want to succeed in learning, you must not forget your original intention and find your original "heart". In the hut, the rest of the people said calmly: "What happened to Sun Wukong, that is, causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, being crushed under the Five Elements Mountain, and traveling west to obtain Buddhist scriptures, is the process of 'rest assured', 'centered' and 'cultivating the mind'."
Sakura frowned, the displeasure in her heart getting stronger. To put it simply, she is jealous of a monkey. Fu Hua looked calm, even a little curious. "So, the monkey god is a god of the 'mind'." Fu Hua thought secretly, and at the same time pieced together in his mind the appearance of Sun Wukong who refused to obey. The rest shook his head and said with a smile: "Not now. If He breaks through the fog of the heart and completes the cultivation of the mind during the process of being sealed, when he comes out, he will be the Buddha who has subdued the mental ape." "However, now he is in a primitive state, which is the [Hero of Steel] and the [Monkey God who caused the flood], referred to as the Water Monkey." Fu Hua was a little curious, because what he said before was all philosophy in Chinese culture, but at this time, it was more popular civilian culture. "Can you tell me more about it?" If it had been in the past, the rest might have hesitated. After all, he would deliberately not take the initiative to appreciate Eden's songs, just to prevent the other party from feeling that the art in his heart was more attractive to him than Eden itself. However, this time, the young man did not hesitate, hesitate, or comfort him. He nodded directly and opened his mouth to speak. Seeing this scene, Sakura's jealousy became even more serious. "Actually, the original Sun Wukong was not an orthodox god, but a demon, a water monkey." "Water monkeys generally refer to a type of evil gods in China, that is, demons that cause floods and flood disasters. Most of them look like monkeys." Monkeys do not have a good image in the minds of ancient Chinese people. Monkeys were also called "snipers" in ancient times. They are not high-class animals. Most of the stories and proverbs related to monkeys are also not good words. "The Monkey King was just a monster in a story that was defeated by a hero, and the hero who defeated him was none other than Erlang Shen." "Erlang Shen has a clear origin, but in the process of spreading, this origin has been gradually forgotten, and instead it has been absorbed, attached, and mixed with some other legends." "Therefore, the image, shape, and name are relatively unified, but the explanations are different. Luo Hao believes that Erlang God originated from Cancong, the monarch of the ancient Shu Kingdom, and is characterized by 'long eyes'. This is also consistent with the characteristics of the bronze statues unearthed in Sanxingdui. " The rest inexplicably remembered that in all the ancestral halls and records, Erlang Shen was a young heroic god like a noble son. Perhaps only Jiao Damei could interpret the graceful and noble warrior god. Thinking of this, Yu Zhe suddenly smiled. "Erlang Shen was originally the god of fishing and hunting, and later became the god of water control. Even though the Monkey King is a monster, he is also the demon responsible for floods and floods. Therefore, he became the villain in the story of Erlang Shen." "In short, during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, thanks to Erlang Shen, the Monkey King also gained some popularity." "But in the end, he is just a stubborn evil god. Although there is talk of repentance, in the Yuan drama "Poetry for Obtaining Buddhist Scriptures and Conquering Demons", he is still a monkey full of vulgar words." "It wasn't until that Taoist priest wrote Journey to the West that everything changed." At this point, the corners of the young man's mouth curled up, and the sunlight seemed like mist, making him no longer look real. Fu Hua couldn't help but laugh, just because he seemed like a child at this time. Sakura was even more dissatisfied. After all, she had dressed up specially today, but all she could think about was a monkey. The rest continued: "When the author created "Journey to the West", he did refer to the previous "Qijing Shihua", but he wanted to write a story that was different from his predecessors, and what he wanted to express also changed."
"In "The Book of Poetry", the absolute protagonist is Tang Seng, but in "Journey to the West", the protagonist is Sun Wukong, and even his image has moved closer to the white ape from the macaque in the past." Fu Huaying said: "Jia Qi is silent in the dusk of rain, and roars loudly in Jing Ji. He does not trample on the earth and rocks, and is far away among thousands of trees. In spring, he admires his beauty, and in autumn he eats his food. If he does not disturb the crops, he lives deep in the distance, and there is still something there. The nature of a gentleman is different from that of a sniper." The rest laughed and said: "It is said that during King Zhou Mu's southern expedition, the noble men turned into apes and cranes, and the villains turned into insects and sand. In the minds of the ancients, apes are noble men with immortal aura, while monkeys have human faces and animal hearts. The so-called monkey wearing a crown is Cursing words.” "So, for Sun Wukong, who entrusts the author's concept, although his appearance is based on that of a macaque, his temperament is closer to that of an ape. He is a knight-errant with a fairy spirit and a well-spoken speech..." At this point, the young man suddenly froze for a moment, felt a little strange, and subconsciously clamped his legs. He quietly glanced at Sakura and saw that the girl was holding her chin with her slender hands, her eyes were cold, and her expression seemed displeased. The rest of them understood for a moment that the other party seemed a little angry, and felt a little guilty in their hearts, so they loosened their legs slightly to make it easier for Sakura to move. "In general, Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West" has an obvious demeanor of an ancient knight-errant, that is, he is 'arrogant to the scholar-bureaucrats' and treats the weak well." The boy's voice was still the same as before, just covering up the sound of the zipper being opened by his toes. Fu Hua looked as usual and didn't notice anything wrong. Instead, he was thinking carefully about the young man's words, and he was a little more looking forward to the disobedient god he was about to meet. The rest sat upright and continued: "In the original work, Sun Wukong always had an arrogant attitude when facing the gods, Buddhas, princes and generals in the sky, and was merciless when facing demons and monsters, but he was extremely kind to ordinary people. .” Sakura's martial arts skills are extremely high, and she can control her body almost perfectly. Although one leg has made such a complicated movement, her upper body remains motionless while she is sitting. The whirling sensation through the black stockings made cold sweat break out on the young man's forehead. The rest tried hard to keep their expressions unchanged to prevent Fu Hua from seeing the clues. He lowered his head slightly and continued: "In short, Sun Wukong is an ancient ranger. He has the advantages of sympathizing with the weak, superb martial arts, and drawing a sword to help when the road is rough." "There are also flaws such as liking to show off, being willful, being strong, and liking to be wild, etc." At this time, Sakura's cheeks were slightly tipsy. She glanced at Fu Hua and saw that his expression was still calm, so she became bolder. The rest pretended to be calm, but their voices couldn't help but become a little louder. "Although he has various shortcomings, his youthful spirit is indeed extremely charming. The world I live in has lacked enough youthful spirit since the Tang Dynasty." "Song lyrics and Song poetry are beautiful, but compared to Tang poetry, they lack the wantonness of 'meeting and drinking for you' and the pride of 'willing to be at the top of the mountain to see all the mountains'..." "People in the Tang Dynasty said, 'I would rather be a centurion than a scholar', but people in the Song Dynasty said, 'Everything is of inferior quality, but reading is the only thing that is high.'" "Even after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this situation has not improved. Seeing that the world is so depressed, those who have higher aspirations than the sky will inevitably feel disappointed." Just as the boy was talking, Fu Hua's nose twitched slightly, and a familiar smell came in, and she understood everything instantly. then…… The rest was suddenly startled, and his body couldn't help but tremble. A feeling that was different from the whirling texture, like gelatin and jade, came from the right. Fu Hua and Ying looked at each other and smiled, forming a trap for the young man. Ying said coldly: "Yu Jun, why don't you talk about the monkey? I still want to hear it." The girl's voice was as gentle as ever, but her feet were ruthless.
Fu Hua smiled. Although it felt a little strange, he still cooperated slightly awkwardly. At the same time, he followed Ying's words and said, "Continue talking, I'm listening." The irregular movements left and right finally defeated the young man's longing. He suddenly understood that he had grown up. Maybe when he was a child, he only saw a monkey in his eyes, but now, he only saw beautiful fox demons and fairies. ————Sorry, Monkey King, I have completely grown up. Saying goodbye to his childishness in his heart, the boy put down his hands. A whirling feeling came from his left hand, and a warm feeling came from his right hand. …… Never lie to your lover: Chapter 128 What gift should you bring? Toshogu, the full name is "Nikko Toshogu". It is a mausoleum built to enshrine the deified Tokugawa Ieyasu, Tosho Daiquan. Generally speaking, there should be a lot of tourists here, but there was a flood disaster a few days ago and it is currently closed. That's what they say to the outside world, but in reality... "Does this mean that Guinevere did not break through the seal and reach the Netherworld, but instead broke through the mountains and caused a disaster?" The remaining person murmured. He originally planned to come yesterday, but due to various reasons, he came to Toshogu Shrine today. Under the five-story pagoda, the rest were sitting cross-legged on the ground. Fu Hua and Ying stood quietly beside them, and trivial shadows fell on them through the green leaves. The rest looked at the man opposite. He was Jiufozuka Mikihiko, who was considered the owner of this place. Jiufozuka Mikihiko lowered his head, not daring to look at the three people opposite him, showing great respect. "That's right. The curse to seal the Great Sage Qitian in Dongzhao Palace was set by the elders of the Netherworld. The divine ancestor was unable to succeed for a while." The so-called Elders of the Netherworld are Japanese reclusive people such as the Gods of Disobedience, Ancestors, and Divine Ancestors. They worked together 500 years ago to design the disobedient Sun Wukong to be sealed here, at least that's what the world knows. The rest of them lowered their eyes slightly and said calmly: "You really don't know anything!" Hearing this, Jiufozuka Mikihiko asked cautiously: "I forgive you for being stupid and not knowing what the king means." "The only ones who can subdue Sun Wukong and seal him are Buddha and Erlang Shen." The others were not annoyed and explained calmly, "Sun Wukong's essence is a monkey mind, that is, an indulgent heart, while Buddha has an awakened heart. The god of disobedience, even the true god of Buddhism, may be able to defeat him, but he cannot suppress him.” "Samadhi comes from the transliteration of Sanskrit samadhi, which means to stop distracting thoughts and calm the mind. Therefore, as long as Sun Wukong comes into contact with something related to Samadhi, he will be deflated." "I guess it was Erlang Shen who sealed Sun Wukong here. After all, in the original legend, it was Erlang Shen who defeated the Monkey King and sealed him in the crevices of the Huaguo Mountain." It was obviously a guess, but the young man's voice was so sure that he couldn't afford to refute it. The rest of them sighed, feeling that the matter involved a bit too much, thought for a moment, and said this. "It is almost the consensus of the Ming Dynasty that Erlang God surrendered to Monkey King. Even if the author of "Journey to the West" likes Sun Wukong, he will not violate this point. He can only secretly explain why Erlang God has reinforcements and has changed more than Sun Wukong. Laojun uses magic weapons to help..." At this point, the rest felt a little funny and said with emotion: "It's rare for an author to like the characters he writes so much."
What the young man didn't know was that his cheerful expression was no less cheerful at this moment. The rest stood up slowly and patted his trouser legs. "Okay, no matter what, let's go see the monkey first." Then, under the leadership of Jiufozuka Mikihiko, everyone walked to an inconspicuous place, which was an undecorated hut.
