Chapter One\ The four people walked to this place, and ahead was a dense forest with no path.\ “Wukong, I'm hungry, go find some food.” Tang Sanzang flopped down onto a rock and said.\ “I'm busy right now, can't you go find it yourself? …It's not like you don't have legs.” Sun Wukong said, leaning on his staff.\ “You're busy? Busy with what?”\ “Don't you think the sunset is beautiful?” Sun Wukong said, still looking at the sky, “I can only keep walking west every day if I take a moment to watch this.”\ “You can watch while you look for food as long as you don't bump into a tree.”\ “When I watch the sunset, I do nothing else!”\ “Wukong, you can't be like this, you can't bully the bald head like this. If you let him starve, we won't be able to reach the Western Heaven, and if we can't reach the Western Heaven, the curse on us will never be lifted.” Zhu Bajie said.\ “Bah! When did it become your turn to talk, you pig head!”\ “What did you say? Who did you call a pig?!”\ “Not pig, pig head! Hmph hmph hmph…” Sun Wukong gritted his teeth and sneered.\ “Say that again if you dare!” Zhu Bajie lifted his rake and was about to charge.\ “Stop shouting, stop shouting! I'm going to sleep! Roll over somewhere else!” Sha Wujing shouted loudly.\ The three villains glared at each other angrily.\ “Go on, go on, as long as one less dies, it's one less.” Tang Sanzang stood up, “You're the masters here, I'll go find food for you, can't I? It would be best if the monsters ate me, then you can cry.”\ “Hurry up, there's a female demon waiting for you there,” Sun Wukong called out.\ “Hmph hmph hmph hmph,” the three monsters sneered.\ “Don't think I can't manage without you!” Tang Sanzang turned back, waved his fists at them, dusted off his clothes, adjusted his long robe, and began walking into the forest. As soon as he took a step, “squeeeak,” his robe tore.\ “Hahaha……” the three of them laughed so hard they forgot to fight.\ It was a purple forest with strange plants growing everywhere and blue mist that lingered all year round. The further they went in, the wetter the ground became and the darker it got overhead. Eventually, the branches and leaves completely covered the sky, and Tang Sanzang was completely lost.\ “Wonderful, so much vitality, so many different lives!” Tang Sanzang said joyfully.\ “Thank you!” a voice answered him.Tang Seng turned his head and saw a talking tree, with two blinking eyes on its purplish-black trunk.

"How astonishing, I see a monster. I like things that go beyond the ordinary. Life is truly a wonderful thing. Let me touch you, spirit of the soil." Tang Seng reached out his hand and happily stroked the trunk.

Purple sap oozed all over the trunk, making it extremely slippery to the touch.

The tree pleasantly accepted the caress, and all its tens of thousands of drooping branches swayed with pleasure.

"Ha, no one has touched me for tens of thousands of years. In the past... thousands of years ago, a group of monkeys played on me, but later, who knows where they went. At that time, I had no eyes, I could only feel many moving creatures touching my body. All my tens of thousands of drooping branches swayed with pleasure.

"Ha, no one has touched me for tens of thousands of years. In the past... thousands of years ago, a group of monkeys played on me, and later, who knows where they went. At that time, I had no eyes, I could only feel many moving creatures talking and singing around me. I couldn't see, I couldn't move, but I was very happy. Now I have finally grown eyes. But they, they don't know where they went, don't know where they went."

"They died," Tang Seng said.

"Died? What is death?"

"Death is seeing nothing, hearing nothing, feeling nothing, thinking nothing, just like when you were not born."

"No, I don't want to die! And I don't want to live lonely."

"You can still live a long time. You don't have hands or legs yet, but they will grow later."

"It took me a hundred thousand years to grow eyes. I can't endure such a long wait anymore. I want to touch my kind nearby now, touch you. Your scent intoxicates me."

"I haven't bathed for a long time. By the way, you don't have a mouth. How do you speak?"

"I use this." The strange tree shook one of its branches in front.

On it was a human mouth.

"Isn't that yours?"

"No, I picked it up. Three hundred years ago, someone was eaten here. Only this remained. I soaked it in my sap that nourishes all things to prevent it from rotting, and after several decades, I grew a branch to hold it.""This is not good. You try to take shortcuts. If it's not yours, you should return it to where it came from."
"Don't you want to know why that person was eaten?"
"Was it because they saw you?"
"Yes."

Suddenly, Tang Seng realized that his feet had been entangled by vines at some unknown time.

A low, rumbling howl sounded behind him, and Tang Seng smelled a fishy stench sprayed on his neck, but he could not turn his head.

"Leave his hands to me, I like those hands," said the strange tree.
"You even want what others have left over? To be a demon to this extent… If I were you, I'd just headbutt into death," Tang Seng said.
"If I had a head, I would consider it."

A pair of claws landed on Tang Seng's shoulders.

The strange tree said, "Wait a moment, I want to say one last word to him. With this mouth, he is the first who can speak to me. I'm very interested in studying a person's psychological state when being eaten."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? The sooner I die, the sooner I transcend, I'm not afraid." Tang Seng said, "Do you really want to hear my last words?"

The strange tree shook its branches up and down.
"Alright." Tang Seng took a deep breath and suddenly shouted, "Help——me——aah——"

"Master is shouting for help again," said Zhu Bajie.
"Ignore him, he always does this, never gets tired of playing," said Sun Wukong, after watching the sunset, pulling out a leg from his bosom to eat.

Zhu Bajie stared at him: "What are you eating?"
"A pig leg."
"I——will——kill——you——!!" Zhu lunged forward and grabbed the monkey.

"Hmm," Sha Monk turned in his sleep, "Cut… cut him to death…" and fell asleep again.

"You've said seventeen sentences. I only allowed you to say one," the strange tree stared at Tang Seng. "Why are you going on like a stream?"

"Grandpa Tree, actually I'm really scared. I'm still young, only lived a little over twenty years."
"You lived twenty years and got limbs and facial features; I have lived hundreds of thousands of years to get a pair of eyes, why?"
"For humans, it takes hundreds of reincarnations to reach once. The time I've waited is not less than yours. Just let me live a few hundred more years."
"If I let you go, you would leave me, leaving me alone, not possible."
"I won't leave, I swear in the name of my eldest disciple Sun Wukong, I'll stay here for life until you die… And the one behind, please don't lick me, okay?"“I'm very dirty.”\ “Sun Wukong? Seems familiar, sigh, I don't remember that much. You still have disciples?”\ “Yes, my second disciple Zhu Bajie is very fat.”\ “Then call a few more times.”\ “Master has already called the one hundred thirty-fourth time,” said Zhu Bajie, “aren't you going to shut his mouth?”\ “You call grandpa first.” Sun Wukong said.\ “Don't even think about it… Ah! If you dare to take your foot off my back, we'll fight again!”\ “Even after getting beaten like this, you still won't give in? Little brat, I still don't believe I can't subdue you!”\ Bang bang clap clap. #%-*.!%!\ “Cough, can I drink a sip of water before shouting again?” Tang Seng asked.\ “Forget it, they've probably run away already.”\ “Wait, I think I hear the sound of slaughtering pigs,” said the monster behind.\ “Yes, yes, that must be my two disciples fighting again,” Tang Seng said.\ “I don't care, I'll eat you first, then go find them!”\ “No, how can you do this? Isn't it better to sit down and talk about philosophy together? Or I can give you a riddle to guess: ‘What is a lotus before it is born?'”\ “Ah!” Suddenly the strange tree and monster let out a scream, hissing as they turned into a wisp of white smoke.\ “Huh?” Tang Seng asked, “What happened to you? Sorry, my question was a bit tricky.”\ “A lotus is still a lotus before being born.” Suddenly a girl's voice said.\ Tang Seng turned around; a girl in green stood there grinning, her long hair flowing lightly, her clothes made of the finest silver threads, sparkling.\ “Miss, you are so beautiful!” Tang Seng said.\ “So you are a lustful monk.”\ “No, no, it's just that a monk cannot lie.”\ “If you weren't bald, girls would definitely like you.”\ “Does this mean I'm not handsome as a bald man?”\ “Smooth talker, how can you achieve enlightenment?”\ “My cultivation is different from others. They cultivate the Lesser Vehicle, I cultivate the Greater Vehicle. They cultivate emptiness, I cultivate perfection.” “Greater Vehicle? Haha, never heard of it.”\ “Because I haven't figured it out yet.”\ “I only heard of someone called Jin Chanzi who questioned the Lesser Vehicle Dharma, wanting to understand on his own. The result was that he went mad and was trapped in endless calamities.”\ “Was he stupid!”\ The girl suddenly changed expression: “What right do you have to speak of him?!With just one finger, he can pierce the heavens, and you are merely a mortal begging like a dog in front of a demon!”\ “Because I want to live, I cannot hide the desires in my heart; just as I love your beauty in my heart, how could I pretend indifference with my words.”\ “With your mortal eyes, how could you know the workings of everything, when appearances are all illusions.”\ “Even a sow has its own beauty and ugliness, so why should you feel inferior?”\ “You have violated the precept against anger! You speak falsely without stopping, your mind is confused, how could you possibly become a monk?”\ “Heaven and Earth, who asked to be born with such bad luck in a monastery?”\ “You are not worthy to discuss Buddhism. Just now, I thought you had some cultivation because I heard your respectful words, which is why I acted to save you, but I didn't expect to save a fool. Now get lost!”\ “Ha! Miss, that is mistaken. The Dao determines life and death. If I were a highly cultivated monk, why would the Buddha not protect me, making your interference unnecessary?”\ “Pah! Baldy! You infuriate me!”\ The girl suddenly turned, and her beautiful face immediately transformed into a terrifying snarl: “Since you are merely a mortal, why don't I just eat you?”\ Tang Seng sighed deeply: “Sigh, why do demons always speak so much nonsense before eating me?”\ Before he could finish speaking, a figure had already leapt through the air.\ Of course, it was Sun Wukong.\ The moment the woman's hand was suddenly grabbed, she felt a powerful aura surge through her entire body, an irresistible will that made every muscle unable to resist. With a soft exhale, she gave up all resistance and collapsed to the ground.\ Sun Wukong looked at the female demon: “Baldy, it seems you really have an extraordinary attraction to female demons. Using you as a bait is completely correct; this way, my good deeds will accumulate quickly... why is it that every female demon chasing you is uglier than the last?”\ “Impossible, Amitabha! Such a beautiful woman, and you actually call her ugly?” Tang Seng said.\ “Beautiful… beautiful? Looking like this, almost catching up to me. So you like this type?”\ “Alas, appearances are endlessly illusory, a clear mirror is in the heart. With your monkey eyes, how can you recognize beauty or ugliness?”\ “Ah, pah! Even though I have some glaucoma and astigmatism, and tears in the wind, sensitive to the sun, I also have degenerated from staying underground too long. How dare you mock my physical flaws? Once I get angry, one staff will break you like a cripple! Sun Wukong will now finish off your little beauty!”"
Sun Wukong raised his Golden Cudgel (Golden Cudgel).
At that moment, the woman suddenly woke up and looked up to see Sun Wukong raising his staff to strike.
"Sun Wukong...... You are Sun Wukong! "
The woman hugged his legs: "Is it you? Is it really you? Am I dreaming?" "
She lifted her ugly face and gazed at Sun Wukong with infinite affection, tears actually streaming down her cheeks.
Sun Wukong felt a tremor all over, as if his internal organs were throbbing. He thought, this is bad, what kind of magic is this? It feels like it has the power of a thousand pounds, yet at this moment it is completely useless. The woman was still saying, "It's wonderful that you're here, is it another dream?" But I'm already satisfied. I've lived here for so many years, just hoping that one day you'll appear before me. Are you free? Are you finally free? I know that day will come. No one can lock you down, never ...... That's wonderful...... So wonderful...... "
She was already sobbing uncontrollably."
Sun Wukong secretly channeled his inner strength. With a shout of "Rise," the woman flew straight out and crashed into a big tree, breaking it so big that it took two people to encircle it. "Ha, I used to kill you, you indestructible monster. Do you think this trick will work on Old Sun? Cry? Crying won't help. Old Sun never blinked when he killed. "The woman fell to the ground, blood streaming from her mouth, but she still forced herself to stand up and looked at Sun Wukong: "You... you don't recognize me anymore...... Yes, when I became like this, of course you wouldn't recognize me. But I was cursed by the Jade Emperor and can never return to how I was before...... I am ......"
The woman suddenly screamed in agony, spitting out a mouthful of blood as she struggled painfully on the ground. Tang Seng sighed, "Sigh, could it be that you've also been cursed and can't say who you are anymore?" The woman clutched the dirt tightly in her hand, clearly in extreme pain. "Baldy, don't believe her. I've seen plenty of monsters—use every trick. Step aside and let me finish her off." Sun Wukong said. "I'm not blocking you. Go ahead and hit me, why aren't you?" "I...... You told me to hit you, so I did? Why wait a little longer? ""Amitabha who hates you unbearably, endures a thousand sins, refining your heart never to give up." Tang Seng straightened his tattered clothes again and walked toward the forest outside. "You two take your time chatting, I won't disturb you any longer."I want to take a walk in the beautiful forest, hoping to encounter a fairy as delicate as stardust flowers...”\ He paused again to look at the remains of the ancient tree and sighed slowly: “Don't die, and don't live in loneliness. Is tens of thousands of years just for this day?”\ Tang Seng left, Sun Wukong jumped onto the tree, the woman rolled on the ground wailing, while he casually swung on the swing. After a long while, the woman gradually calmed down.\ Sun Wukong: “It's not that I pity you, it's just that this old Sun doesn't kill anyone who can't fight back. Are you okay now? Make your move.”\ He still swung his legs on the tree vine as if this wasn't a battle but just a nap before noon.\ The woman's face was still pale, but when she saw Sun Wukong, her eyes shone again, and a faint smile appeared at the bloodied corners of her mouth.\ “You are still the same. You used to... be like this, do you remember the first time we met? Back then… you were also lying on the tree, it was a peach tree…”\ “Damn, today I ran into a crazy demon. Auntie, I've never seen you before, nor have I seen what a peach tree looks like. Be honest and just show one move, then let me defeat you in one strike. Don't waste everyone's time.”\ “You still don't remember who I am? You… have you forgotten everything from the past?”\ “Old lady, don't mention your past, you've got the wrong person. Five years ago, I, old Sun, was just released from the dungeon of Wuyue Mountain, intending to kill a few more demons, accumulate some merit to get my past sins forgiven by Heaven, maybe even get titled as a local mountain god or something. Who has ever seen you?”\ “What are you talking about? Wuyue Mountain? It should be Five Elements Mountain, right? Forgive past sins? You remember what you did, how could killing a few demons make Heaven let you off?”\ “Who's talking nonsense? I was originally a monkey demon from Huaguo Mountain, punished by the Jade Emperor for disrespecting Heaven, locked in the Five Mountains for 500 years. Later, the Jade Emperor showed mercy, saying if I could complete three tasks, my past sins would be redeemed. I remember everything clearly, where did you come from… Damn, why am I even discussing this with you?”\ The woman showed a look of surprise and doubt: “How could this be… could it be… the three tasks they want you to do, what are they?”\ “You really are annoying. Fine, I'll let you die understanding it. The first task is to ensure that bald guy just now reaches the Western Heaven safely.”The second task is to have me kill four Demon Kings...”\ “Four Demon Kings?!”\ “Yes, precisely, the Great Sage of Niu Demon of Western He Niu Continent, the Great Sage Peng Demon of Northern Ju Lu Continent, and the Great Sage Monkey King of Southern Zhanbu Continent.”\ “Damn, I've come across a crazy demon today. Lady, I've never seen you before, nor do I know what the Peach Tree of Immortality looks like. Just honestly show me a move casually, then let me kill you with one strike, and it'll be over. Don't waste everyone's time.”\ “You still don't remember who I am? You… have you forgotten everything from the past?”\ “Old lady, don't bring up your past. You've got the wrong person. I, Old Sun, was just released from the Five Prison Mountains' dungeon five years ago. I only wanted to kill a few more demons to earn some merit points so Heaven could absolve my previous sins, maybe even enfeoff me as a local deity or mountain god. Who has seen you?”\ “What are you talking about? Five Prison Mountains? It should be the Five Elements Mountain! And absolve previous sins? You remember what you did, how can killing a few demons make Heaven forgive you?”\ “What are you talking about? I was originally a demon monkey from Flower-Fruit Mountain. I was punished by the Jade Emperor and imprisoned in the Five Mountains for five hundred years because I disrespected Heaven. Later, the Jade Emperor showed mercy and said that as long as I completed three tasks, my previous sins would be pardoned. I remember everything clearly, so where do you come in… Damn it, why am I even chatting with you about this?”\ The woman looked astonished and suspicious: “How could it be… could it be… the three tasks they want you to do, which three are they?”\ “You're really annoying… fine, I'll make it clear for you. The first task is to protect the bald man just now on his journey to the West. The second task is to have me kill four Demon Kings…”\ “Four Demon Kings?!”\ “Exactly, the Great Sage Niu Demon of Western He Niu Continent, the Great Sage Peng Demon of Northern Ju Lu Continent, the Great Sage Monkey King of Southern Zhanbu Continent, and one more, the Great Sage Equal Heaven, the Monkey King of Eastern Sheng Continent!”\ “Ha… Monkey… Monkey King?!”\ “What, you know him? The third task, after completing these two things, Heaven will tell me. Why are you crying again?”\ The woman lowered her head and murmured: “Yes, he has forgotten everything, and he doesn't remember you anymore…” Tears fell on the ground.\ “Sigh,” Sun Wukong jumped down from the tree, “seeing you in such pain, I'll do a good deed and help you be free. In your next life, be a flower or grass by the riverbank, swaying with the wind, isn't that better than being a demon who lives too long with a confused memory?”The woman painfully lifted her head: 'I won't remember wrong. I remember everything, and I will always remember... I never thought that after waiting for five hundred years, I would be waiting only to die at your hands. In the end, we still can't escape his grasp.'

Sun Wukong raised his staff...

'Before I die, I want to ask you something,' said the person under the staff. She lifted her head: 'If you forget everything, does it really mean that there is no more pain?'

'...'

Sun Wukong held the staff in the air.

'Ahem!' He suddenly swung the staff toward the nearby trees, sweeping a fan-shaped area with a radius of dozens of zhang in the forest...

'It's meaningless to kill a deranged demon,' he mumbled to himself. After speaking, he turned and walked out of the forest without looking back, unaware of the sorrowful gaze of the woman behind him, reaching out her hand in pain, unable to make a sound.

As he walked, he faintly heard the sound of waves. He looked up, but only saw endless forest.

'Five hundred years ago...' he thought, 'Where am I?'

Upon thinking this, his head started to hurt again. He shook his head hard. Once the emptiness in his mind returned, he felt comfortable. 'Strange, why do I suddenly not feel like killing anyone?'
