Chapter 14: The Afterlife
Wukong's movement in the back mountain to build the immortal base is very small, even worse than when he was in harmony with the exercises that day, except for the master, the retreat monk and a few senior brothers, the other monks in the temple did not notice, still practice every day, but Wukong's figure is missing.

After a hundred days, Wukong, who was sitting cross-legged, finally opened his eyes, and a golden light burst out from his black and white pure eyes, which crossed the barrier of time and space, and shot directly on the huge Buddha statue in front of the mountain gate of Hongfo Temple.
Today, the believers who came to worship the Buddha and listen to the scriptures suddenly found that the great day was like the Buddha's light overflowing, and a round of golden light appeared behind the head, the Sanskrit sound bursts, the incense wind was everywhere, all kinds of visions, and so on, and the monks and believers in the temple worshipped one after another.
Wukong, who came from the back mountain, is still a walking meditation appearance, his eyes are like water, his body is light and leisurely, and he has no compelling momentum, he is almost mortal at this moment. It turned out that the exercises that ran freely in the body were stagnant, and the strength of the body gradually lost with his breathing, which should have been restricted by the rules of the Heavenly Dao, but the speed of loss was not fast, and it was estimated that it would take a hundred days to consume it at this rate.
"Second Senior Brother!"
In the temple, just after the morning fast, Wukong, who habitually came to the Buddha Hall, met with the second senior brother.
"There is a difference between immortals, and this scripture will ...... in the future You don't have to read it! ”
The second senior brother looked at Wukong with a complicated expression, the corners of his lips trembled a little, and finally he sighed, walked to Wukong's side and wanted to pat him, but stopped in mid-air as if he remembered something, Wukong stepped forward and let the second senior brother's hand on his shoulder.
"The immortal path is difficult and dangerous, you take care of yourself, even if you have my chant to pass on the true tradition, you can dissolve karma, and you must do less killing." There was a smile on the second senior brother's face, his eyes were slightly red, and he said after pinching Wukong's shoulder a few times.
"Thank you, Second Senior Brother." Goku also felt his nose drunk, tears rolling in his eyes.
"Go meet the pig killer, don't delay too long in the mortal realm." The second senior brother turned his head, not wanting Wukong to see the tears in his eyes, and said with a choked voice.
"I want to listen to my brother's teachings again."
In the sound of chanting in the distance, Wukong sensed that the vitality of heaven and earth formed a huge Buddha statue in the sky above the Hongfo Temple, sat cross-legged, and gave everything the wish-granting seal in his hand, and the lotus flowers were generated from the mouth of the Buddha statue, floating to all directions, and submerged into the six consciousnesses of the monks and believers in the temple.
……
"Come, junior brother, let's practice again." In the martial arts, the senior brother shouted at Wukong with his usual face.
After speaking, he didn't wait for Wukong to answer, let out a tiger roar, and the big knife in his hand went straight to Wukong's front door, and the heaven and earth vitality behind him turned into a huge tiger with white eyes, roaring angrily, and the thick and powerful front paws pounced on him with the movements of the senior brother.
"Although the cultivation methods of martial arts and immortal dao are different, they are the same thing, don't rely too much on external objects. A thousand moves will be better than a move to an immortal, you also saw the immortal cultivator that day, if the cultivation is all on that sword, I will not be spared. ”
After a few moves with Wukong like a performance, the senior brother put away his knife and stopped, and hugged Wukong as usual without any scruples and said. "Let's go, let's help Senior Brother train them again."
……
In the Scripture Pavilion, the third senior brother looked at Wukong who was standing in front of him after copying the scriptures and shook his head. "There's no need to compare, not everyone is as light and heavy as Wuhui, and doing something in the mortal realm will only accelerate the loss of your vitality. Copy more scriptures today. Then he continued to copy the scriptures on his own.
Heaven and earth vitality in the hands of the third senior brother formed a huge brush, the pen barrel auspicious clouds, cranes dancing deer run, the tip of the pen just coincided with the tip of the pen in his hand, with his writing action, a trace of heaven and earth vitality into the pen of the scriptures.
"Now that your perception of the vitality of heaven and earth has finally reached the subtle realm, today I will teach you the last lesson - the meaning is a book, the visualization should be read, and the bones, blood and viscera are hidden in the subtlety; If the fingertip is a pen, the mudra is the text, and the vitality of heaven and earth is ordered. The third senior brother said softly while copying the scriptures.
……
In the hanging pot hall, the fourth senior brother on duty sat on a special wide chair, carefully and patiently looking at one patient after another, Wukong stood beside him and played his hand, this situation is in line with the legend that Wukong is the fourth senior brother's previous life under the seat of the boy, Xianfan has two other people who seem to not care.
The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi formed a huge gourd behind the Fourth Senior Brother, verdant and dripping, and every time the Fourth Senior Brother looked at a patient, the color of the gourd would be a little greener, and there would be more mysterious lines on it at the same time.
"All beings are equal, and there is no distinction between high and low. Wukong, be a good immortal, even if you don't help the poor and the sick, don't bully the weak. After seeing the last patient, let Wukong pat himself and massage him, the fourth senior brother said in a tired tone.
……
"Once upon a time, there was a kingdom in which the monarch had a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren, one of whom was brave and unscrupulous, but everything he fancied was snatched into his hands, even if it was the king's things, and he did not obey the teachings, and shouted every day that he wanted to overthrow the monarch and establish himself as a king."
Seeing Wukong come in, Master Bujie opened his eyes and got up, and slowly walked outside, telling the story as he went. "Another son is only submissive, everything but according to the will of the king, follow the rules, do not seek merit in everything, but seek no fault. If you are a king, which son do you like? ”
"I don't like it!" Wukong followed behind the master of the non-ring, but he didn't understand the master's intentions, and replied after thinking about it carefully. One lives too flamboyantly, and the other lives too poorly, neither of which is in line with Wukong's temperament.
"Another son, the heart of the upper body, the lower to help the people, when to fight, when to retreat, that is, to have opinions and accept people's words, so do you like it?" The Master of the Rings continued to ask.
"I like it!"
"The same is true of the Immortal Dao, although cultivating immortals is the creation of heaven and earth, and the mystery of invading the sun and the moon. But blindly acting against the sky, fighting all day long, unproved that the avenue has been broken; Blindly obeying the sky, conscientious all day long, and the road has not been proven. "The Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth turned into a tall and straight, giant pine that reached into the sky, and the Master of Bujie stood in the body of the tree, as if the two were born from the same root, not distinguishing from each other.
"If the avenue is like water, it will resound above the nine heavens, and the torrent of rain will not avoid all things; Tranquility is hidden under the ten earths, Pinghu Jingtan, and everything is not shocked. Respect the way of heaven, the heart of heaven, and understand the will of heaven, but the cultivation of heaven and earth into the heart, movement and stillness have the way of law. "It turned out that the master was teaching himself the method of Dao cultivation, and Wukong blessed the soul, remember it.
"You and I are finished, let's go where we go!" After speaking, the master turned around and wanted to leave.
"Please master ordained his disciples!" Wukong took a step and knelt in front of the master of the unprecepts, and bowed for the first time after coming to this world!
"There is a difference between immortals, and the old man can't be ordained for you." Master Bujie looked at Wukong quietly, shook his head slightly, and turned around and walked in the other direction after speaking.
"Please master ordained his disciples!" Wukong slid his palms and knees hard, slid to the ground in front of the direction of the Master of Bujie, and kowtowed again.
The master of the non-precept just shouldn't, and turned again to want to go.
Goku goodbye.
……
"Buddha, Tao, Confucianism, and Mo, your karma may not be all in the Buddha's sect, so why bother to shave and receive ordination?" After four or five times, the master of the non-ring stopped and stood still, looked at Wukong kneeling in front of him, and said helplessly.
"The master has the grace to save his life in his disciples, and the four senior brothers have the affection for his disciples, and the disciples belong to the Taoist system of Hongfo Temple in this life." Goku said eagerly.
"Idiot!" Master Bujie gently stroked the long hair on Goku's head with his palm, and said with a sigh.
"Cultivating the Buddha in the heart, shaving and receiving ordination is just a formality, if you are still obsessed with many years of love, but you should be old and have a few things." After a long time, the Master of the Rings leaned over to help Wukong and said to him.
"Please teach the master." Goku replied.
"Don't tell anyone about the Tao taught by Lao Gao, and don't call Hongfo Temple a Taoist system, just say that you feel it yourself, otherwise Hongfo Temple will be troubled from now on." The master of the non-ring was solemn, and his cloudy eyes burst out with fine light, staring at Wukong.
"Yes! Master, don't mention it in your life, otherwise I won't be able to do it. Wukong understood what the master meant, and he could see from the collection of books in the Jingguo Palace how cruel the battle for Taoism was. And the law of building immortal foundation and avenue in the mortal realm belongs to the study of the sky, if the news comes out, the Hongfo Temple will have a catastrophe.
"The mouth of the cultivator is open, and the words are right and wrong. You are not good at words, but you can hold closed-mouth meditation to help you practice, and even if you open your mouth, you can't say the faults of others, causing twists and turns. "Closed-mouth meditation is not about not saying a word, but not saying what cannot be said, not saying what can be said, and saying less if you can't say it.
"Yes, master." Goku nodded in response.
"The path of immortality is dangerous, and although the precepts of killing, stealing, and lying are not enough, you should not act in vain because of greed and hatred, and even if there is a way to resolve karma, it is useless to practice. Although the ring of wine and meat does not need to be held, it can be used to cover the body, lie down to help sleep, stop the use of things, and return to the original with demons. ”
"But respect the teacher's instructions, and everything is obeyed."
Just as Wukong bowed, a majestic heaven and earth vitality pressed towards him, and a bright pillar of light shot down from the night sky, enveloping him in it, and the beard was cut off, and eight identical ring scars were automatically generated on the top of his head, neatly arranged into a square. If you look closely, the ring scar is different from the incense burner, but a mysterious stroke, forming a circular indentation.
In the center of the square, there is a larger circular indentation, which is made up of two different characters, and two broken lines pass through the nine ring scars, forming a "swastika" that is imprinted on the top of his head like a birthmark.
I didn't see how the master of the precept behaved, and the person had already drawn out Zhang Xu Yuan, his expression was a little surprised, and then he rarely smiled on the ground, so good, to the point that he had a little tongue.
The vision between heaven and earth alarmed many people, and the old worshipper of the Jing royal family, who was playing against the emperor, turned his head to look at the pillar of light, and said to the emperor: "It is heaven and earth to receive the ordination, I don't know which monk of Hongfo Temple holds the precept and establishes the foundation, and ascends to the immortal road!" ”
……
"Little junior brother, I'm leaving! Those boys can't stand the pain of parting, so let me send you on their behalf. The senior brother stood aside with a few things in his hand, looking at Wukong who had just finished three bows and nine bows in front of the mountain gate of Hongfo Temple by the moonlight.
"The immortal road is long, thousands of years are fleeting, our senior brothers are over, take care of yourself!" As he spoke, the senior brother stuffed everything into Wukong's arms, turned around and strode towards the temple, and a few points of crystal fell with his steps, dripping on the bluestone steps.
A belt and several belts are all made of the secret method of the skin of the snow-capped hundred-year-old clemat snake for the last time, and it is the craftsmanship of the senior brother at a glance; A letter, with the words "Xiujie, Qilu City, Treasure Pavilion, Wei Shopkeeper" on the envelope, is the handwriting of the second senior brother, and it seems that he sent the letter; A palm-sized scripture book, filled with scriptures in small characters, is a gift from the third senior brother; A few bottles of healing elixir, this special elixir made by the fourth senior brother is almost non-toxic.
This life is over, and the next life continues!
Wukong meditated in his heart, put these things in his backpack, and turned to step into the night.
The great day is like coming down to the Dharma body, the day is manifested, the master of the non-precept disciple Wukong is inspired by the Dharma, holds the precept and establishes the foundation, and the saying of ascending to the immortal road is not far away, and the Buddhism of the Hongfo Temple is profound, and the incense is more prosperous, and it is endless.
