Chapter 303: Choice
The basement is quiet.
Xuanye was still soaking quietly in the pool, Subhuti turned his back to the monkey, unable to see his expression clearly.
After a while, the monkey recovered and asked carefully in a somewhat nervous and slightly questioning voice: "Master, do you mean... want your disciple to steal things into Moyu Imperial City?"
"Yes." Subhuti replied coldly.
"But... Mo Yu Imperial City is strictly guarded. With the disciple's cultivation level, I'm afraid there is no way to go in without knowing it."
"You have no choice, but you have a choice for your teacher."
The monkey was a little confused and blinked desperately, as if he was surprised, and seemed to be thinking about how to answer.
Moyu Imperial City, where is that place?
That is the core of the Demon Kingdom, where the Demon Emperor Jun lives.
So many years have passed, and although the monkey has not yet understood the affairs of the demon country, he is clear about one thing.
In the Demon Kingdom, you can offend anyone. Even if you offend a monster with multiple eyes that covers the sky with one hand, there is still room for maneuver. Only this demon emperor Jun who almost doesn't feel existed on weekdays... that's not something you can offend. Once something happens, it will be a terrible ending.
Going into Moyu Imperial City to steal things... Isn't this different from rebellion?
Besides, wasn’t King Yuxi who chose to raise an army because he couldn’t enter Moyu Imperial City and could not confirm whether Di Jun was still in Moyu Imperial City?
this……
The sudden request was unprepared. For a moment, the monkey's mind was like a mess. Or not just thoughts, but also moods. The heart was beating to his throat.
Isn’t this the need to rebel?
Subhuti sighed softly: "As a teacher, there is a layout diagram of the entire Moyu Imperial City. No matter how powerful the magic array is or how tight the defense is, you will inevitably have weaknesses. As long as you follow what you teach me, you will definitely enter Moyu Imperial City without knowing it."
After a pause, he seemed to feel that his words were still unconvincing. Subhuti added: "If there was no other way, my teacher would not let you take risks."
"Master, what is the thing you want your disciple to steal?"
"I can't tell what I want to steal in a few words. But the things are indeed in Moyu Imperial City."
"Can't you exchange military merits? Although the disciple's rank is not high, he can still see Di Jun. Your Majesty... Your Majesty is not bad, and you can also say a few words. The disciple means... Maybe, find Your Majesty and tell him what he wants. As long as the disciple can make great contributions, he may also be rewarded. In this way, you don't have to risk entering Moyu Imperial City? Otherwise, let's find another way, right?"
"No." Subhuti shook his head and said, "No matter what, he can't give this thing to anyone. He can't give it to anyone. If you want it, you can only get it yourself."
"There is no need to steal, maybe... maybe we can..."
The monkey still wanted to argue, and Subhuti had slowly turned around and stared at the monkey.
In an instant, the monkey froze and stared at his master blankly.
From Subhuti's eyes, he saw determination.
"You go or not?"
The monkey opened his mouth slightly, but said nothing, just staring at his master quietly.
"Go, or not?"
Subhuti asked again, and this time, every word was accented.
Silence, after a brief silence, the monkey turned his face and whispered: "I can't go."
"Why?"
"Master, you have recreated grace to your disciples. If you go, even if you lose your life, it will be no big deal. But the disciple is the commander of the new army. If something happens..." After swallowing, the monkey continued: "The entire new army will be buried with you. This is not what the commander should do."
"Isn't this what the commander should do?" Subhuti smiled snorted and said, "Then what do you think the commander should do? You just said that you exchange military merits for it, can you exchange it? In the battle with the South Heaven Gate, the entire new army was almost disabled, right? How many people died? How much contribution did you make? You said that something happened to you, the new army would be buried with you. If you make meritorious service, the new army would be fine? One is Lingchi and the other is beheading. In the eyes of our army, there is no difference."
"That's different!" The monkey's voice suddenly rose octave.
"Why is it different?" Subhuti asked in a higher voice.
The monkey gasped heavily, looking at his master.
For a moment, the master and apprentice seemed to have confronted each other.
As if aware of his misconduct, the monkey quickly lowered his head.
After a while, Subhuti sighed and murmured to himself: "Power will change the original appearance of a person. Even if he does not value obligations, he will slowly and slowly be carried forward. Weigh the pros and cons, look forward and backward, and in the end, forget where he originally wanted to go. Or... even if he remembers, he will go further and further from the end. In any case, he will never go back to the place he started. He is a teacher who doesn't want you to become that kind of person."
"Then, what kind of person does the master want to become? Do you think your disciples are unkind and unrighteous? It is understandable to respect the teacher and respect the way. But when the disciples go, although they repay the teacher's kindness, they push many people to a place of doom." The monkey knelt on his knees and kowtowed, "Disciple, please take back the master's life."
Looking at the monkey kneeling on the ground, Subhuti stood with his hands behind his back, gently stroked his long beard and said, "It was not like this when you first came. At that time, you were very simple, just thinking about becoming a disciple and practicing. Now, there are many more concerns. Once a person has something to worry about, he will be unable to move forward."
"I heard that Zhen Yuanzi took out three gifts for you to choose today. Do you know what the ring you chose means?"
The monkey lowered his head and still knelt down and said nothing.
"The ring represents power. The Buddhist bead represents no desire or demand. The beautiful jade represents only one's own care. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility and the more involved it will be. Your first reaction is not what the teacher wants to do, what the teacher can do, why does the teacher want it, but that if something happens, your subordinates will be affected by it..."
"Ce is not in charge of the army. You have chosen the ring, but you are not suitable for the power."
"Then, is the master suitable for power?" the monkey asked suddenly with his head down.
"Not that." Subhuti shook his head and replied softly: "But in this world, there must be someone in power and someone to support the overall situation. Sometimes, as a teacher, I feel conflicted. If you are kind or not, how can you care about the three realms..."
At this point, Subhuti stopped and became silent. He turned around and looked at Xuanye behind him, and was immersed in the divine state.
After a while, the monkey asked in a low voice: "Master, what exactly are the things you want in Moyu Imperial City?"
"I won't talk about this." Subhuti sighed, "Just treat it as a teacher to teach you a lesson. Let's test how far you can go on this road."
"Just pretend?" The monkey frowned and said, "That means, Master, you are not testing your disciples, but are you really interested in something in Mo Yu Imperial City?"
"If so, will you steal it for your teacher?"
"this……"
"Since I don't go, what does that have to do with it? The bento master has never mentioned it. It's getting late, so you can retreat first. The pill will be fine in two days. It's also beneficial to take more rest before swallowing the pill and breaking through your cultivation level."
He raised his head and the monkey looked at Subhuti's back as if he wanted to say something, but after thinking for a long time, he didn't know what to say. In the end, he had to bow deeply and said, "Then... the disciple is gone."
Subhuti waved his hand gently, which was a response.
...
What would Subhuti steal by himself?
Xuanye is sealed by the Macaque King. If you want to awaken Xuanye, you must find the Macaque King.
The last thing the Macaque King saw Di Jun before leaving the demon capital. Is it the stuff the Macaque King handed over when he met Di Jun?
However, Di Jun could not give "things" to others, nor could he do it. What does this mean?
The monkey really couldn't figure it out.
I feel that the situation in the Three Star Cave of the Shake Moon is even more dizzy than a demon. My master knows me well, but I don’t know anything about my master... In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that I don’t know anything about it.
Once, the monkey thought about whether to look for Subhuti again, and asked in detail to solve these mysteries, but when he thought about what if he accidentally, Subhuti asked him to go to Moyu Imperial City to steal things... I'd better forget it.
