Sun Wukong said: "Let the teacher's teachings be followed, and the disciples will listen to them." Su Bodhi nodded and said: "There are thousands of side doors in Daomen Zen Buddhism, and all of them have positive results, I don't know which one you want to learn?" Sun Wukong bowed: "But depending on the teacher's will." ”

Su Bodhi said: "Then how about I teach you the way in the sect?"

Sun Wukong asked, "How is this way?"

Su Bodhi said: "The door of the word is to invite the immortals to help Luan, ask the yarrow, and know the reason for seeking good fortune and avoiding evil." ”

"Can you live forever?"

"No, no, no. ”

Sun Wukong waved his hand again and again and said: "So don't learn." ”

"Then how about teaching you the way of the Silent Word Door?" said Subodhi again.

"Can you live forever?"

"No, you can't. ”

"If you don't learn, you don't learn. ”

In this way, no matter how many paths of Buddhism Su Bodhi said, Sun Wukong only said, "Can you live forever?" If not, he shook his head and refused, and rejected seven or eight ways in a row, Su Bodhi was furious, turned out of the ring ruler, pointed at Sun Wukong and said: "You cunning, you don't learn this, you don't learn that, how are you going?" stepped forward, hit Sun Wukong on the head three times, turned his hands behind his back, walked inside, closed the middle door, and no longer cared about the students in the hall.

The disciples in this hall were all frightened, and they repeatedly accused Sun Wukong and said: "You are a monkey, very rude, how picky the master is about preaching, and now the master is furious, I don't know when I will come out." ”

Sun Wukong was smiling all over his face, not angry at all, but said: "It's all Wukong's fault." In his heart, he thought: "Shizun hit him three times, but let him pay attention at the third watch, and closed the middle door to teach him to enter through the back door, and he should be the right person tonight." ”

Sun Wukong was so contemptuous and complained under the contempt and complaint of the senior brothers, and waited until dusk, and went to bed with the disciples, but did not sleep, until about the time of the child, Sun Wukong got up and came to the back door, and sure enough, he saw that the back door was half open and half closed, Sun Wukong said happily: "The fruit is so." ”

Quietly entered the door, walked under the collapse of Su Bodhi, saw that he was facing inward, he was already asleep, Sun Wukong did not dare to make a sound, so he had to kneel in front of the couch and wait quietly.

After a short time, Su Bodhi got up, but he didn't open his eyes, played a mantra, and recited in his mouth: "Difficult! difficult! I don't meet people to pass on the tricks, empty words and dry tongues. ”

Sun Wukong heard the sound and hurriedly responded: "Master, the disciple has been waiting here for a long time. Su Bodhi opened his eyes when he heard the sound and said, "You, why don't you go to sleep and run to me?"

Sun Wukong hurriedly replied: "Master told me during the day, taught the disciples to enter through the back door at the third watch, and preached my Taoism, so I came boldly." Su Bodhi stretched out his hand and touched his beard, and thought to himself: "This guy is smart, why can't I teach it?"

Su Bodhi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll teach you the way of immortality." ”

Sun Wukong hurriedly kowtowed, knelt and sat dignified, and listened respectfully. Subodhi said, "You come forward with your ears." Sun Wukong stepped forward as ordered.

Then Su Bodhi taught the method of immortality to Sun Wukong, and Sun Wukong secretly remembered that after the teaching was completed, Su Bodhi let him practice and drove him out of the apse.

Sun Wukong got out of the back door, but when he saw that the sky was getting brighter, he couldn't help but speed up and go back to the bedroom, making it look like he had just woken up, and then said loudly: "It's dawn! It's time to get up!" Those disciples got up in a daze, not realizing that Sun Wukong had already benefited, and they were still doing their own thing.

After that, Sun Wukong secretly practiced the method, so it was three years, this monkey is worthy of being transformed by the Tiantian Stone, but three years is already a person who refines qi and returns to God, compared to the little white snake, it is really a rapid progress, but the little white snake cultivates the Xuan air and I don't know much more than Sun Wukong, but it is more difficult to understand.

It's just that Sun Wukong has never been able to transform into a form, and the original demon clan can turn into a human form when it comes to refining qi and returning to the gods, so that it can better practice, after all, the shape of the human race is the innate Dao body of the desolation. Some demon clans take the path of refining the body, and the demon body is stronger, so they don't want to transform into a shape, and like Wukong, they can't transform into a single person, and others can't transform because their cultivation is too low, and he has to maintain his original form no matter how tall he is, even Su Bodhi's ontology Zhun Ti doesn't know the reason.

On this day, Su Bodhi sat on a high platform and preached, and suddenly asked, "Where is Wukong?" Sun Wukong hurriedly got up and saluted: "The disciple is here!"

"You have cultivated supernatural powers, and you should guard against the benefits of the three calamities. "Subodhi Dao.

"What do you mean by Master?" Sun Wukong didn't understand, because in his impression, immortals live the same life as heaven and earth, how can there be benefits from the three calamities.

Su Bodhi looked at Sun Wukong and said: "The Three Calamities are the gate to ascend to immortals, the foundation of longevity. The longevity of the earth immortal is not more than 10,000 years, and only by becoming its immortal can the life of the immortal be endless, and those who enter the heavenly immortal must overcome the difficulties of the three disasters. ”

When Sun Wukong heard this, it was really about his own safety, and he hurriedly asked, "What are the three calamities?"

Su Bodhi said: "The first disaster is the thunder disaster, it is the first gate to ascend to immortals, the sky is thunder, it is the four seven divine thunder, if there is no Taoist magic power, it is sad, you can survive the achievement of immortals, longevity is boundless, and you can't turn into ashes." After 500 years, a fire fell from the sky, and it was the second gate of ascending immortals. This fire is not only a heavenly fire, but also an extraordinary fire, called a yin fire. It burns from under the Yongquan acupoint, penetrates the mud pill palace, and can't cross the body into ashes. Another 500 years of wind disasters from the sky is the third gate of ascending immortals. This wind is called the wind. Blow into the six organs from the fontanelle, pass the dantian, and wear the nine orifices. Only after the three disasters have passed can you live a long life and be healthy, officially enter the wonder of the immortals, and condense the five qi in the chest. ”

When Sun Wukong heard this, he was terrified, and kowtowed again and again: "Please also ask the master to be merciful and hang down the method of avoiding the three calamities." ”

Su Bodhi smiled and said, "I have the general number of heavens, which should be thirty-six changes, and the number of ordinary earthly evils, which should be seventy-two changes. What kind of general do you learn?" Sun Wukong said: "If the disciple is willing to learn more, please also ask the teacher to give the Fa." ”

"Come forward and pass on your formula. Sun Wukong stepped forward as he said, and after Su Bodhi finished teaching the mantra, he asked everyone to leave class. When Sun Wukong went back to self-cultivation, he soon learned all the seventy-two changes. These seventy-two changes are just a magic of change, and there is no difficulty.

One day later, Su Bodhi suddenly asked: "Wukong, can the Tao be done?" Sun Wukong bowed and said: "Back to the master, the disciple has stepped into refining qi and returning to the gods, and he will already be able to soar through the clouds." ”

Su Bodhi sighed lightly and said, "You take a cloud." When Sun Wukong heard this, he turned over a somersault, five or six feet from the ground, and the soles of his feet were cloudy, moving slowly, and the tea could only travel for several miles.

When Sun Wukong pressed the clouds, he saw Su Bodhi shaking his head again and again, and asked, "Master, why are you shaking your head?"

Su Bodhi smiled and said: "I thought you really knew the method of soaring clouds, but I didn't expect that it was just a cloud climber, like your strength, how can you see all the four seas and three mountains?" ”

Su Bodhi touched his beard and said, "Okay, I see that you just got a somersault before going to the clouds, so I will teach you a somersault cloud according to this method?" Sun Wukong kowtowed again and again, begging Su Bodhi to give the Dharma. Su Bodhi passed the mantra to Sun Wukong and said: "This cloud twists the mantra with the mantra, and a somersault can be 108,000 miles." ”

When all the disciples heard this, they were all envious, and said, "Wukong has created and obtained this opportunity." ”

Sun Wukong got the method of driving clouds, and he practiced diligently, and it didn't take a few days to understand it and completely practice it.

In this way, Sun Wukong cultivates day by day, and he doesn't realize that it has been a dozen years, and Sun Wukong has already advanced to the body of the earth immortal, Su Bodhi called it to his body, looking at Sun Wukong, who has entered the land immortal for decades, he was happy in his heart, and said on his face: "Wukong, how long have you been coming to me?"

Sun Wukong bowed and said: "Back to the master, the disciple has been here for twenty-seven years. ”

Subodhi nodded and said, "Well, in that case, you can go down the mountain." ”

Sun Wukong turned around in response, and then reacted, bowed his head, and said: "Why does the master want to drive the disciple down the mountain? I don't know where the disciple violated the door rules, and I ask the master to punish him, don't drive the disciple down the mountain." ”

Su Bodhi turned around, no matter what Sun Wukong said he didn't respond, Sun Wukong couldn't, he had to turn around, just about to leave, he was called back by Su Bodhi, Sun Wukong was a little surprised, a master wanted to keep him, but he never thought that Su Bodhi only said: "You go here, you will have a bad life, no matter what you do, you are not allowed to say that it is my apprentice, if not, I will know, and then I will reduce your soul to the Nine Hells." ”

Sun Wukong looked at the master in front of him, like a fierce beast, so frightened that Sun Wukong even forgot to respond, and didn't know how to go down the mountain, until he came back to his senses when he returned to Huaguo Mountain, but he didn't dare to think about the things in the cave anymore. When Sun Wukong stepped out of the three-star cave of the oblique moon, the heavenly machine was suddenly chaotic, even the heavenly sage could not know what was behind him, let alone the direction of the calamity, and as long as Sun Wukong was in the place, the heavenly machine was blinded, and no one knew what happened.

When Sun Wukong returned to the Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave, he shouted loudly: "Old Sun is back, children come out quickly." ”

I saw a long bridge stretching out from the water curtain hole, the waterfall was automatically diverted, and the two little monkeys respectfully welcomed Sun Wukong in. Sun Wukong saw that these little monkeys knew etiquette so well, and they already had mana in their bodies, and they might be able to achieve the way of immortals by cultivating like this, so he was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked: "These etiquette, and this long bridge is it?"

The little monkey happily said to Sun Wukong: "So that the king knows, a few months ago, two people came to Huaguo Mountain, and built a palace on the mountain, which is very magnificent. ”

Sun Wukong frowned and asked, "Do you just listen to him?" If it is a trap, then he and these monkey monkeys will not suffer.

The little monkey didn't feel that there was him, and said: "We didn't want to wait at first, but then he was actually an immortal among the gods, teaching us to cultivate, and now we have all our minds and stepped into the realm of refining qi, only to feel that the body is as light as a swallow, very interesting, I don't know if the king can gain from looking for immortals? ”

The more Sun Wukong listened, the more wrong he became, and he ordered the little monkey to tell the other monkeys about his return, and then drove the cloud directly to the palace on Huaguo Mountain.
