CHAPTER XVI
"Hell, where is this?" asked Sun Wukong.
Just now he was about to use all his strength to attack the fake Wukong, but he crashed out of the wind and snow, and everything in front of him changed.
What about the heavenly palace, what about the gods, what about the fairies in purple clothes, and what about the fake Wukong?
In front of me, there is a beautiful mountain.
Thousands of peaks open halberd, ten thousand thousand open screens. The sun reflects the light and locks the green, and the rain is cold and green. Withered vines entangle old trees, and the ancient crossing realm is secluded. Strange flowers and grass, bamboo and pine. Cultivating bamboo and pine, evergreen and blessed land; The cry of the bird is near, and the source is clear. The valleys are surrounded by Zhilan, and the cliffs are mossy everywhere.
"Where have you seen this scenery before?" thought Sun Wukong.
The wind blew from the mountains, with a fresh and cool feeling, and sent a faint singing: "Watching chess and rotten, logging Dingding, Xu Xing in the valley by the clouds, selling salaries and wine, laughing and self-indulgence." The autumn is high, and the pine roots of the moon pillow are bright. Recognize the old forest, climb the cliff and cross the ridge, and break the withered vine with an axe. Harvest into a load, in the song market, easy rice three liters. There is no competition, the price is mediocre, there will be no clever calculations, no honor and disgrace, and tranquility will prolong life. Where they meet, they are not immortals, and they sit quietly and talk about the Yellow Court. β
Sun Wukong felt that the wind was blowing through his body, blowing away the stuffiness of many years of hardship, and he wanted to fight to the death with others just now, but now he forgot what he was for.
"Sun Wukong, who is Sun Wukong, who is Sun Wukong, what does it matter, I am just me. β
When he looked at the green mountain, it seemed that it was the little monkey jumping in the mountains again.
When he arose, he ran wildly, roaring with his mouth, and running with his hands and feet to the mountain. but he forgot the golden rod in the ground.
He wandered in the mountains and forests, but the singer never saw it, and the song went around the green forest, echoing from leaf to leaf, as if it were sung by the mountain. The grass emitted a damp fragrance, and Sun Wukong found the smell very kind, as if it reminded him of something, but the feeling was like this breath, you felt that it existed, but it was not anywhere.
Sun Wukong walked in the forest, under his feet were soft fallen leaves and vines, he thought about it, threw off his boots, and stepped barefoot on the wet land, the feeling of cool silk came from the heart of his feet, the ground under his feet seemed to have life, and those small grasses were gently scratching the soles of his feet.
A smile appeared on Sun Wukong's face, he suddenly turned his head, touched the ground with both hands, and touched the temperature of the earth, the delicate grass like the soft hair of a monkey.
Sun Wukong was another tendon, this time he threw himself on the ground with his back down, but the earth held him so carefully.
The ground of the Heavenly Court was all cold and hard bricks, and the West Heavenly Road was full of mud.
Why did he stay in those places all the time.
Sun Wukong was lying on the ground, and the grass breath rushed straight into his seven orifices. He began to feel itchy all over his body.
He ran away, ripped off his clothes, and jumped naked from the woods.
Until he lay on the ground tired, feeling that his body was dissolving with the grass.
"Why am I like this?" he said to himself.
"Because you're a monkey!"
Suddenly, a pair of large eyes reached out from above his head and winked at him twice.
Sun Wukong jumped upside down and glared at the thing.
The big eyes jumped away in fright, but it was a squirrel.
Sun Wukong touched the golden hoop stick on his body, but found that it was missing. I was shocked and couldn't help but be angry.
"What are you looking for?" asked the squirrel, blinking wide-eyed.
"Get out of here! I've dropped something very important. β
"You're all there, I don't think there's anything missing. The squirrel raised its paws and scratched its head.
"What do you know, Lao Sun has never left it!"
"Were you born with it?"
β...... This...... I don't remember, maybe. β
"What's the use of it?"
"It's useless, it can be used to kill!"
"Do you want to kill squirrels too?"
"If I want to. β
"Why did you kill me?"
"Like, because you talk too much!"
"But if you kill me, no one will talk to you, and you will be bored. β
"Ha! You think about me, I have been locked up in a dark Five Prison Mountain for five hundred years, and no one has come to talk to me, and I don't want to be cold for a long time!"
"No one has spoken to you for five hundred years! It's so pitiful, if I knew, I would have gone with you, if...... If I live for 500 years......"
"Accompany me?
"What why, do you need a reason to talk to someone?"
"Don't you need it?"
"Do you need it?"
"Don't you need it!"
"Alas, I'm just talking to you about it, don't be angry, I'm only a year old, and I especially want to discuss things with people, there are too many things in this world that can make us happy to discuss, right?"
"Yes, you're a big-headed ghost! I'm actually discussing this kind of problem with a one-year-old squirrel? Let others know that I want to laugh and fall into big teeth, but I want to achieve positive results, and make the heavens and the earth tremble!"
"Why make the heavens and the earth tremble?"
"I like it, do you care?"
"But I like to jump on the trees and on the ground, and I'm even happier if I look up and see the blue sky, don't you?"
"Jumping on the tree......" Sun Wukong jumped up to the treetops, "jumping on the ground...... he jumped on the ground twice, "and then looked up at the sky...... Why do I always feel like a stupid bird!"
"Yes, yes, I have a good friend called Silly Bird, he is always happy, he was going to the south for the winter this year, but I wanted him to stay and play with me, so he decided not to go!"
"He's going to freeze to death! β
"No, no, I'll give him my hole. β
"Then you'll freeze to death, anyway!"
"Why? Why do you freeze to death? I don't want to die, can I?"
"No, if you don't want to die, you won't die? Why? Then what have I been doing all these years!"
The squirrel lowered her big eyelids, a little gloomy, but then there was a glint in her eyes and said, "I heard that all things have souls, and when they are tired of one thing, they die and become another, right......?"
"That's not up to you! you could become a bird or a rock......"
"Maybe I'll change the rainbow on the horizon?"
"Maybe you'll turn into a broken crockpot!"
"Can't I change whatever I want?"
"When dreaming. β
"But someone can!"
"Who?"
"Subodhi. β
"Subodhi, it sounds like fruit on a tree. β
"Hey, he really is sometimes, he can be anything to talk to you, or he's anything. β
"And this kind of thing? I would like to see it, if it is a goblin, it will be beaten to death with a stick, and it can add merit points. β
"Merit?
"How do you understand, if you want to become an immortal and become a Buddha, you have to rely on this. β
"I also want to become an immortal and a Buddha, how can I have merit?"
"There are too many of these, there is a share in the release, and there is also a share in killing goblins......"
"Aren't goblins raw?"
β...... But goblins are not created by God, they are born of nature. β
"And by whom did God make it?"
"God, maybe there are heavens and the earth, and there are them. β
"Who made heaven and earth?"
"You're annoying! Heaven and earth are opened by Pangu...... Pangu popped out of an egg, so who laid the egg?...... When my grandson jumped out of the stone, how did I know who put the damn stone!"
"Then, I don't want to ask whose egg it is, I want to ask, Pangu was not made by a god, so he is a goblin?
"Huh......? Hahaha...... Why didn't I think that gods were made by goblins...... Hahahaha!"
The squirrel scratched his head: "Do you laugh at me?" Alas, although I know that the monkey laughs when the squirrel thinks about it, I can't help but think about it. β
"Damn, what squirrel monkey, who told you all this nonsense?"
"Subodhi. β
"I want to see him more and more, where is he?"
"I can't tell you this, he said that different people have different ways to meet Bodhi. β
"Go! I guess he has an enemy, hiding in Tibet, and digging several tunnels at home. And how do you see him?"
"Sometimes he will turn into fruit in the tree and talk to me, and sometimes I want to find him, so I will go down from the hole in my tree ......"
"That guy is a rabbit, I guessed right. Take me with you. β
"But the way I walked, not necessarily you?"
"Where is all this nonsense?
"That's it. The squirrel pointed to the swarthy hole in the tree.
Sun Wukong shook his body, turned into a ray of light, shot straight into it, and disappeared into the darkness.
The squirrel scratched his head again, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
She leaned over to the cave and shouted, "Remember to come back here and talk to me later, I'll be waiting for you hereββ!"
As soon as he arrived in the cave, Sun Wukong found that he had suddenly disappeared.
Yes, he couldn't feel his body anymore, and he couldn't use any mana anymore. The darkness has no boundaries, he himself has no boundaries, his sense of touch has been stretching, stretching without bounds, all that can be touched is nothingness.
Suddenly, a voice came, like that of the squirrel: "Monkey, you must come back-"
"I'm not a monkey, I'm Monkey King!" he shouted, but his voice only echoed in his own thoughts.
And the squirrel's voice came clearly from his head: "Who do you say you are? You're just a monkey." β
"No, I'm not...... I'm ......."
Who am I, he thought.
He plunged into the depths of darkness until the sensation was completely gone.
It is like a dingdong fairy music, and like the dew on the leaves falling in the deep pool in the mountains, the leaves change colors, fly lightly in the air, cross the boundary between heaven and water, become a fish, and conjure up a human form, the figure is like a mist, the long hair is like the wind, and it disappears in a blink of an eye, leaving only a leisurely singing, sighing the vastness of the world. There were thousands of harmonies faintly heard in time and space, and they turned into the wild laughter of elves.
"Heaven, there is no boundary, the heart, is the garden and the wilderness, in the blooming of the flowers to die and sing and dance, but never stop a cloud veil with you, dare, willing, fly over the sky together?"
He saw the world in the sand.
The smoke is scattered, and the sun and the moon shake the light. Thousands of old cypresses, ten thousand knots to repair the fence. Thousands of old cypresses, with rain in the middle of the sky, green and rising; ten thousand festivals are repaired, containing smoke and a ravine. Strange flowers outside the door, the grass by the bridge is fragrant. The stone cliff is abrupt and mossy, and the hanging wall is high and green and long. When I hear the cranes, I see the phoenix soaring. When the crane is chirping, the sound vibrates in the sky and the sky is far away, and the phoenix soars, and the feathers are colorful and cloudy. The white deer of the ape is hidden, and the golden lion and jade elephant are hidden.
"Where is this?" asked Sun Wukong.
"Where is this?" asked a voice.
Sun Wukong turned his head, ah...... Isn't that the fake Goku?
I saw that he had no golden crown and gold armor, only a straw waist skirt tied in front of his waist, barefoot, and his face also changed greatly.
Okay, I'm bumping into my old grandson's stick, hey, what's the stick? Oops, there's no golden hoop stick, how can you beat him?
Sun Wukong hurriedly hid to the side.
But seeing that the fake Wukong didn't seem to see Sun Wukong at all, he said to himself: "The firewood collector said this, why don't you see a temple?"
"What are you doing with the monastery?" said a voice from the ground.
The monkey looked down, but saw a talking flask.
"I want to apprentice to the teacher, to find the Bodhi Patriarch. β
"Bodhi, Patriarch, no, only a wine jug, do you want to?"
"What do you want?"
"Hahahaha!" The wine pot laughed and sang a song: "What is the use of heaven and earth?
What is the use of fine dust? What is the use of change?
What's the use of facing the wall? If you don't see the gushing, what's the use of drinking a stick?
The flask sang faster and faster, and the more he sang, the happier he became, and with a flick of it from the ground, it turned into a big-bellied fat bear in the air, slapping his belly and making amusement, singing: "What is the use of giving birth to me?
For a time, the heavens and the earth responded to his beating of drums, and for a while, the birds in the sky, the trees and grass on the ground, and even the stones were jumping and responding: "Where did they come from? Thousands of miles, I can't find it, it's better to meet me and smile. Mango shoes and hats for thousands of years, the eternal sky once traveled, and those who walked on the song forgot between things and me. Hey, hey, hey, and ......"
"Immortal Lao Tzu can't take care of it!" the monkey was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help but dance and shout.
"Monkey, what do you hear? and so happy?" asked the fat bear, flashing again, turning into a big mouth in the sky.
"I don't know what I heard, but I know that my heart is happy and I like it tightly. β
"Hahahaha!" The mouth changed again, but it turned into an old man in yellow, with white hair and a childish face. "There are a lot of people who come to me, I haven't been scared away, and I can still smile, but you are the only one, and I will accept you!"
The monkey was overjoyed, and bowed to him: "Master is above, accept my worship!"
"What's your name?" asked the old man.
Sun Wukong hid to the side and thought to himself, as long as that guy dared to say that he was Sun Wukong, he would jump out and strangle him.
But the monkey said, "I have no sex, and if people scold me, I will not be angry, and if they beat me, I will not be angry, but I will just accompany them for a salute, and I will be sexless all my life." β
Bodhi smiled: "And such a well-behaved monkey, I'm not talking about this sex, it's ...... What are your parents' last names?"
The monkey said, "I don't have parents either." When I was born, there was a sea in front of me and mountains behind me, and I was alone, and no one answered. In the mountains, everyone else has parents and brothers, and I am alone, and from then on heaven and earth are home, and all souls are brothers. β
"Oh?" said Bodhi, "Are you still going to be out of the stone?"
The monkey raised his eyes and said, "Huh, how do you know?"
"Ahem! this ......" Bodhi secretly rejoiced in his heart, where to find such a naturally generated qualification, "I don't know what you want to learn when you look for me?"
"I just want to learn the Tao, but I don't know, what is the Tao?"
"It doesn't seem to be a department, haha, but it's okay, I have some Tao I don't know if you can learn it?"
......
Sun Wukong hid to the side and watched, only thinking that he had seen this scene somewhere, but he thought that it was impossible.
"Hey, alchemy and meditation, you don't learn this, so if you don't learn this, what do you want to learn?" Bodhi said to the monkey with an angry look.
The monkey said, "It seems that you can't teach me what I want to learn." β
"Tell me, what do you want to learn?"
The monkey looked up and said: "I have a dream, I think when I fly, that day also let the way open, when I enter the sea, the water is also divided into two sides, the immortals and gods, see me also called brothers, carefree, there is nothing in the world to restrain me, there is no one to control me, there is no place I can't go, there is nothing I can't do, there is no ......"
"Stop!" said Bodhi, "go quickly, go quickly, but I will not be able to teach you! If I can teach you, I will not be a jug of wine here." β
Bodhi turned and walked away, and the monkey grabbed him by the corner of his clothes, but Bodhi turned into a mallet and struck the monkey three times on the head. The mallet gave birth to a pair of wings and flew towards the mountain, and the monkey chased after it, only to see the mallet fly into a high-walled monastery.
The gate of the temple was closed, and the monkey thought, "If Master doesn't come out, I won't go." So he knelt outside the door.
A few cranes pulled a big black curtain and flew in, and the night came in one fell swoop. The fireflies in the grass all flew into the sky, changing various constellations in the sky.
The monkey knelt there.
Sun Wukong on one side was tired of waiting, thinking that this was not a fake Wukong, maybe there were a few monkeys in the world, so he flew directly into the temple from the other side to find Bodhi.
Over the wall, he was stunned.
On this side of the wall, there is a white expanse of earth, and there is nothing.
Sun Wukong began to run on this land, he ran out of tens of thousands of miles in one go, and saw nothing.
"I don't believe there is no edge here. β
Sun Wukong turned his head up, and when he landed again, it was still an empty land.
Sun Wukong was in a hurry, and when he jumped up, he was more than a dozen heels in one breath, and this time it was time to turn over millions of miles.
It's still empty.
Sun Wukong couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"I'm going to have to go down this day today!"
He went all the way down again, disappearing into the distant horizon.
