033 The Long Road to the West

Most of the villagers in Yunxiang knew Mr. Zeng Shengshu, some of them had been his apprentices, and some of them were children who studied with him. After Zeng Shengshu came to the scene, the villagers had the greatest contrast, and they all began to listen carefully to the lecture, and the sound of small talk was less than half.

"Xi Luo, do you know that grandfather?" Encyclopedia asked in a whisper.

"I saw it when I first came here." Xi Luo's gaze did not take his eyes off Zeng Shengshu.

Xiao Encyclopedia didn't know what to think, and suddenly laughed quietly: "He really looks like the old fairy in Journey to the West." ”

Zeng Shengshu continued unhurriedly: "When I was in the waiting area on the second floor, I watched every one of your games through the TV broadcast, and I was surprised and at the same time I also felt very relieved, are the children now as aura as you? Think about me when I was six or seven years old, and I was still being taken by my neighbor's little brother to play a game of chicken and pit my teammates. Zeng Shengshu said humorously, "Of course, the conditions you can obtain today are sure that we are much better at that time, and you will definitely grow into more outstanding people than us." ”

"The first time I came into contact with the word Journey to the West was more than 70 years ago, at that time, Yunxiang was still just Yunxiang, and my primary school tablemate, today's world-renowned Journey to the West scholar Duan Mi was still running around the mountains in open crotch pants." Zeng Shengshu had a smile on his lips, as if he remembered some good memories, "Duan Mi's first Journey to the West was given to him by me. He liked the book at the time, reading it during the day and at night, and was so excited that he didn't sleep well for days and nights. I remember the day of the final exam, our whole class sat in the classroom to study by ourselves, and Duan Mi and I were no exception. ”

"As soon as I passed, the kid began to read to me in a daze, saying that he might have jumped out of the stone, and always felt that he was inexplicably playing a very good stick, and even asked me several times a day if he would be the reincarnation of the monkey." Zeng Shengshu said in a joking tone, and there was a lot of laughter from the audience.

Xiao Encyclopedia knocked on the table and analyzed it very seriously: "I think Duan Mi's idea is very likely, and there are also fortune tellers who said that I am the reincarnation of Ziwei Xing, and I will still be the life of the champion in the future." ”

Zeng Shengshu paused for a moment before continuing: "Someone once said that the first book you read when you were a child can have an impact on your whole life. I don't know if this is the case for everyone, but I do know that I am, and so is Duan Mi. ”

Duan Mi gave his whole life to Journey to the West, from the adult population of not doing a good job, to the praise of the whole village later. It took him a full fifty years, but Duan Mi's life was full of time, and counting the time in his mother's womb, was only sixty years. ”

"He has always been an indifferent person, and he doesn't care about the results of his reputation, and in his eyes, the process is more important than everything. Just like the four masters and apprentices who have gone through 9981 difficulties on the West Heaven Road, it is no longer important whether they have obtained the true scriptures or not, what matters is the sweat and support on the road, and the growth and happiness bit by bit. ”

"Everyone's life is a journey to the west, the result is inevitable, death is certain, and life or death has always been a multiple-choice question. The key is the years we have walked on the road, whether it is the wonderful ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulty, and the unstoppable obsession and courage in us! ”

Before the listener could react, Zeng Shengshu's words suddenly changed, and the killer was caught off guard: "Is what I just said right?" Of course there is something right about it. Does everyone approve of it? If not all, at least most people will answer in approval. Does this mean that we have reached a high degree of unity in our thinking? Naturally not. Just like me, I can talk to you now, in fact, people who know me will think that what I said is very strange, and even wonder if I am really old enough to change so much. ”

"Of course not." Zeng Shengshu slammed the table, and his voice was muffled, "This is Duan Mi's point of view, not mine." He thinks that the road to the west lies in the road, and I want to say that the road to the west lies in the scriptures! ”

Xi Luo can listen to it, it would be really good if people could live like Zeng Shengshu in this life, and tell everyone in the world what they want to say, and everyone in the world is willing to listen.

This kind of person is the first time Xi Luo has grown up to be so big, and this kind of shock from words is the first time in this life. It is too thin compared to the majesty of mechs and starships; Compared with martial arts, it seems too chatty; Compared with the galaxy, it is so insignificant, but Xi Luo has seen the first three, and it was not until this moment that he realized that there is a kind of power that can come from just a few words, but it is enough to affect a lifetime.

Xi Luo was stunned for a moment, Zeng Shengshu continued to speak.

"Everyone who has watched Journey to the West knows that Tang Seng is compassionate and a good person. So where is his mercy? repeatedly ran away and killed the Great Sage who disguised himself as a human being, but in the end he ended up being captured by the goblins? Of course, does this show that he is a 'cowardly and incompetent' good old man, or is he merciful enough to let go of the ants that crawl on his head? This can also show that he is a high-ranking monk who has cultivated the Tao; If you want to investigate the cause and effect in your previous life, as the reincarnation of the golden cicada, Tang Seng can't be a wicked person. ”

"I've said all this, but none of the above is anything at all. I think the greatest compassion of Tang Seng in this life is to retrieve the true scriptures from the Western Heavens. ”

"Then that's when the problem comes. What exactly is it that you take from the scriptures in the west? Well, I heard people say, it's a Buddhist scripture, yes, it's not wrong to say Mahayana teachings. But what is this sutra used for? ”

"The original book of "Journey to the West" is written like this - Bodhisattva Dao, I have the Mahayana Buddhism Sanzang, I can transcend the dead and ascend to heaven, I can overcome difficulties and get rid of suffering, I can cultivate immeasurable longevity, and I can do nothing...... In other words, the Bodhisattva looked for Tang Seng: I have a way to purify sentient beings, it depends on whether you are willing to take it. ”

"In the premise of this book, Buddhism is boundless, and the scriptures can help people who are suffering to be liberated and happy. The Great Sage is powerful, but if you fight a monster today, there will still be new monsters tomorrow, and is it only the monster that will make the people suffer? What do you mean by ordinary people? The homonym is old misfortune. What can the sutra do? Purdue sentient beings. Why purify sentient beings? Because 'why should all living beings suffer'! ”

"No one knows whether there is a true scripture at the end of the West Heavenly Road, and no one knows whether they are getting back the real salvation elixir or the false wordless heavenly book, but I am sure that there are always people who are willing to go through this experience, since the world is suffering, there will be people who will go to cross. This person could be me, it could be you. ”

"The process of learning scriptures from the West can only affect you alone, and at most it will affect the people around you. But after receiving the scriptures, thousands of people may benefit. Also, the true scripture I am talking about today is just a pronoun, and the rest of the things have to be understood by yourself. ”

"On the long road to the west, I am also a pedestrian." After Zeng Shengshu finished speaking, his waist, which had always been as straight as a pine and cypress, bent down slightly, bowed to the camera, and the audience applauded like thunder instantly.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task - read the Journey to the West, get 1000 experience points, 1000 coins, and a Journey to the West seed."

"Will you plant 'Journey to the West Seeds' immediately? It takes more than 72 hours to mature, and the basic energy value necessary for the planting process will be directly deducted from the coin balance. ”

"Yes."
