Chapter 760: Illusion Transformed into Crystal Beads
Sun Wukong sighed deeply.
Compared with the Sun Wukong in front of him, he is indeed old.
This kind of old age does not simply refer to age, but to his mentality.
Sun Wukong said, "What is the truth? Is it important to you? Everything here is just a little anecdote on your journey."
"Whether you know it or not, it's actually not that important. In the end, the result won't change at all."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong frowned fiercely.
But he was very open-minded. Although he was a little depressed, he quickly adjusted his mentality.
Sun Wukong said, "Never mind. Perhaps it's not time for me to know the truth yet! Otherwise, you wouldn't be making excuses like this."
Looking at Sun Wukong with satisfaction, the Great Sage stretched out his hand towards him, and his body strangely began to dissipate at this moment.
“May you always remember that you are free and that nothing can stop you from doing anything…”
After saying this, the Great Sage in front of Sun Wukong completely lost his shape and turned into a crystal bead the size of a fist.
At the same time, the surrounding environment changed drastically.
The scenery and monkeys belonging to Huaguo Mountain were also sucked into the crystal bead in front of him in an instant.
He slowly picked up the bead. Through the sunlight shining through the gaps between the leaves, Sun Wukong could clearly see the monkeys and their descendants moving freely inside the bead.
Looking at these lively monkeys playing and fighting, Sun Wukong seemed to hear the teasing and cheers of these little monkeys.
Sun Wukong gently squeezed the bead, took a deep breath, and after calming down, he put the bead away properly.
He didn't know why, but his heart felt heavy, an indescribable heaviness.
He thought, maybe he should take it slow.
Only when you are mentally prepared enough can you go to Jinao Island, ask Shiji, and visit those "old friends".
At this moment, a strange call came from the woods behind Sun Wukong.
"Is it...big brother?"
Looking in the direction of the sound, Sun Wukong saw a tall, strong and thin man running out of the woods in a hurry.
Looking at the slightly familiar face, Sun Wukong hesitated: the person in front of him looks like Goudan's father!
However, the age of the person in front of him did not match that of Goudan's father.
"Big brother, it's really you! You're finally back!"
It seemed that he could see Sun Wukong's disbelief.
The sturdy man grinned, revealing his white teeth, and took the initiative to speak: "It's me! Li Goudaner!"
"Gou'er?" Sun Wukong opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
Looking closely, this kid does look a bit like Goudaner.
But...hadn't he only been in the illusion for a short time?
It shouldn't be possible for something to happen many years later overnight!
Sun Wukong thought uncertainly in his heart.
In order to prevent himself from causing trouble for Goku, he even silently cast a spell to determine whether the timeline he is currently in is indeed wrong.
If he really accidentally arrives more than ten years later, he won't be afraid.
At worst, he could just adjust the timeline and go back a dozen years.
The final result left Sun Wukong a little confused.
According to his inspection, this timeline now belongs to both the past and the future.
Sun Wukong has never encountered such a strange timeline.
Logically speaking, in a complete timeline, the past and the future are extremely clear, standing at the two ends respectively.
Therefore, as long as it is done properly, changing the timeline is not a big deal.
But this is a timeline that belongs to both the past and the future. Even if Sun Wukong wants to manipulate it, he doesn't know how to do it.
In other words, this entire space and time is chaotic.
Unless the reason for the formation of this timeline is found, no matter what Sun Wukong does, it is impossible to go to the normal timeline.
This is really one problem after another!
Rubbing his forehead with a headache, Sun Wukong felt helpless. What should he do next?
Li Goudan had no idea of the confusion in Sun Wukong's heart. He was filled with joy that Sun Wukong had returned.
He pulled Sun Wukong and hurriedly walked towards the village, telling him about the changes in the village over the years as they walked.
"...You see, our village is very different now than it used to be. Before the village chief passed away, he was always thinking about when you would come back!"
Not only that, after greeting the villagers, Li Goudan took Sun Wukong back to his former residence.
Although so many years have passed, the house is actually no different from before.
Although there are no signs of life, there are many signs of repairs and cleaning.
It can be seen that people often come here to clean and repair.
Noticing the gaze from Little Sun Wukong, Li Goudan grinned, "This is all a spontaneous act by the villagers. We're all worried that things won't be right when you come back, big brother, so we come over to clean up every once in a while."
"I see. Thank you for your hard work." Sun Wukong's mood sank to the bottom.
He stared at Li Goudan in front of him with an inexplicable expression.
He hadn't been able to make that judgment before, but now he could.
The Li Goudan in front of him was definitely not the Li Goudan he knew.
Closing his eyes to hide the emotions behind them, Sun Wukong slowly asked, "How are Daniu and Arya doing now?"
When Li Goudan heard this, there was a hint of sadness on his face.
"They died in an accident not long after you left, big brother. Not only them, but there are only a few of those children left now."
As he spoke to the end, the expression on Li Goudan's face became more and more sad.
Sun Wukong thought for a moment and then said, "Really? If so, then take me to see their graves! It's only natural and reasonable for me to go and see them."
Looking at the heartbroken Li Goudan, Sun Wukong frowned and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.
It's so clumsy.
If it was Goudan who he had taken care of for so long, he would definitely not show such sadness when mentioning Da Niu and Erya.
It was impossible for the other party to tell him so directly that Da Niu and Erya died shortly after he left.
It is true that people change.
But some things exist in the foundation of one's personality and cannot be erased no matter what.
Although I don’t know why the “Li Goudan” in front of me has Goudan’s memories and even behaves so realistically.
It's so realistic, it's as if Goudan has really grown up.
However, there are still differences between him and Goudaner.
