Chapter 3: Awakening Tribulation
this day.
Lu Fengqiu arranged all the matters in the Human Palace, and then entered a state of retreat.
The years have passed, and there is no major event in the Human Palace, and the things that can be done by the saints do not need to be told by others, Lu Fengqiu will naturally know.
claimed to be a retreat, but in fact, Lu Fengqiu transformed the heavens and traveled all over the world.
After becoming a saint, one can reach the heavens and all the worlds with one thought.
This is the supernatural power of the saint, and it is also the means for the saint to understand the world.
Although the Three Great Tribulations have passed in the Pangu Continent for a long time, the Three Great Tribulations are still being re-enacted in other worlds all the time.
And the mention of the Taishang Dao Ancestor also made Lu Fengqiu understand the existence of multiple universes, just to have more possibilities.
Different identities, different perspectives, different experiences.
In the past, he was obsessed with his identity as a human being, and because of this attachment, he has come to this day.
But today, this kind of persistence has become an obstacle to the avenue.
A saint is not a saint of a race, nor is he a selfish.
Instead, it is to embrace all ethnic groups and embrace all rivers.
Humans, gods, demons, ghosts, and Buddhas, no matter how their identities change, the ultimate goal is not to change their Taoist hearts.
He was ready to go again.
……
Many years ago, there was a monkey general in the world, he was originally a kind monkey, he protected the people during his lifetime, and accumulated a lot of merits.
Later, the monkey general ran out of life, reincarnated, and became one of the four monkeys under the seat of Maitreya Buddha in the Buddha world, a gibbon monkey.
On this day, Lu Fengqiu woke up, he opened his eyes, looked around, and a smile appeared on his face.
He is now a gibbon, that is, the monkey general in "Heaven and Earth Warrior Monkey King".
The gibbon monkey of this world was reincarnated by a thought of him, and after his Buddha-figure consciousness was awakened, he became an incarnation of him.
His deity is naturally still in the palace of the people of Pangea Continent.
This made Lu Fengqiu find it very interesting.
Unlike in the past, when he traveled through the heavens, this time he was transformed and became a monkey.
A monkey who should be robbed in the Journey to the West.
If there is no awakening of the Buddha-figure, the fate of the gibbon monkey will eventually be to become a tiger arhat in the Buddha realm in this world.
However, now that Lu Fengqiu's deity has awakened, he naturally does not need to pay attention to this established fate, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, and the catastrophe of Journey to the West.
Fatalistic bondage is the one who can be bound, and he is not among them.
If he wants to use a different identity to go through three more tribulations, let's start with this journey to the west.
At this moment, the senior brother of the gibbon monkey, Huangmei Old Ancestor, appeared beside Lu Fengqiu.
They are all disciples of Maitreya Buddha.
The Yellow Eyebrow Ancestor didn't notice that his junior brother was any different from before, and came over to Lu Fengqiu and said, "Huh? Senior brother, why didn't you practice today? ”
Lu Fengqiu said with a smile: "Because I don't need to practice anymore." ”
When the Yellow Eyebrow Ancestor heard this, he realized that something seemed to be wrong with his junior brother, and said on the side: "Senior brother, are you okay?" ”
Lu Fengqiu said: "I'm fine. ”
With that, Lu Fengqiu stood up and disappeared in front of the Yellow Eyebrow Ancestor.
The Yellow Eyebrow Ancestor was startled, he frowned and said, "Senior Brother, what's so weird today?" ”
Immediately, he shouted again: "Senior brother, you wait for me, where are you going?" ”
……
Lu Fengqiu did not leave the Buddha realm, but came to see Maitreya Buddha.
Maitreya Buddha is his nominal master in this world, so he has to come and meet Maitreya Buddha.
The Yellow Eyebrow Ancestor couldn't find Lu Fengqiu's abnormality.
But the moment Maitreya Buddha saw Lu Fengqiu appear, he already felt Lu Fengqiu's changes.
Maitreya Buddha looked at Lu Fengqiu with a smile on his face, held his big belly, and said with a smile: "Gibbon monkey, what are you doing here to find a teacher?" ”
Lu Fengqiu looked at Maitreya Buddha and said with a smile: "Master, I came to bid you farewell." ”
Lu Fengqiu is now the identity of a gibbon monkey, and if he wants to go through the tribulation, he will naturally not abandon this identity.
Calling Maitreya the Buddha's master is not surrendering his identity, but fulfilling the incarnation of the gibbon monkey.
No matter how the appearance changes, the Dao heart remains the same.
He doesn't want to become a Buddha, he doesn't want to become a bodhisattva, he doesn't want to become an arhat, he doesn't want to experience the world of Dharma, because it doesn't mean much to him.
He is not like the Taishang Dao Ancestor, the Buddha of Rulai, and the Emperor of Heaven, who turns into the other party to understand the other party's Tao.
The other party's way is always the other party's way, and it will not change to become one's own.
It is true that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can survive a hundred battles, but he doesn't want to imitate anyone's way, he just wants to go out of his own way of being a saint.
The smile on the face of Maitreya Buddha gradually converged, and he looked at Lu Fengqiu and said, "Gibbon monkey, your cultivation is not easy, why do you have to give up halfway." ”
Lu Fengqiu said: "Because I don't belong to the Buddha, I only belong to me." ”
When Maitreya Buddha heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then nodded and said, "It seems that you have understood your own way." ”
Lu Fengqiu said with a smile: "In my eyes in my previous life, in my eyes in my previous life, no matter how much I change, I am still me." ”
"The Tao is integrated into one, and it is transformed into a myriad."
When Maitreya Buddha heard this, he bowed his head slightly and said, "Then what are your plans for the future?" ”
Lu Fengqiu said: "I know the number of the Heavenly Dao, and I know that I am one of the calamities of the Journey to the West, so I should go away from the calamity." ”
When Maitreya Buddha heard this, he was shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "The gibbon monkey has awakened in his previous life, what kind of character is he in his previous life, he can understand the heavens, laugh and respond to the catastrophe." ”
Although Maitreya Buddha was horrified in his heart, his face did not change at all.
Maitreya Buddha nodded slightly and said, "Since this is the case, then the teacher should bless you." ”
Lu Fengqiu smiled, raised his right hand, and a white lotus flower slowly appeared in Lu Fengqiu's palm.
Lu Fengqiu said to Maitreya Buddha: "Master, you and I are masters and apprentices, and I pray for you, which is a little gift from me to this master-apprentice friendship." ”
After that, I saw that the white lotus flower was sprinkled with white divine light and fell on the body of Maitreya Buddha.
Maitreya Buddha only felt that some changes had taken place in his body, as if his Buddha heart had become clearer.
This stunned Maitreya Buddha.
"This ...... It's ......."
Rao is Maitreya Buddha is well-informed, and he is a rare supernatural person in this world, and he can't help but marvel.
There are still people in the world who can make his Buddha heart clearer.
And this person turned out to be his apprentice, a gibbon.
Maitreya Buddha's mentality is a little unstable, who is the master in the end? Who is the apprentice?
Maitreya Buddha looked at Lu Fengqiu and said, "Gibbon monkey, it seems that your creation is no longer something that can be recognized by the teacher. ”
"The Three Realms may change because of you."
"I hope that after you leave the Buddha Realm, you will not do anything that harms the Three Realms."
Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "I may go to the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, and I will also go to the trouble of Tang Seng and his apprentices, but I will stop in moderation." ”
"The calamity is naturally still a calamity, it will not change because of me, I just want to prove something in the calamity, discover something, and find something."
Maitreya Buddha couldn't help but be a little curious, and said, "Among the calamities, what is there you looking for?" ”
Lu Fengqiu said: "I don't know this, maybe I will only know when I see, touch, and feel." ”
Maitreya Buddha only felt that Lu Fengqiu's words were full of meaning, and even he couldn't understand much.
Maitreya Buddha sighed slightly, and said: "The way of heaven is fixed, you can't disobey it, since you want to find something in the calamity, then I should also help you." ”
"Besides, these are the things that should have happened."
As he spoke, the golden light flashed in the hand of Maitreya Buddha, and he saw a golden cymbal appear in his hand.
"This golden cymbal is destined to appear on the journey to the west, and I will hand it over to you today."
"It can be regarded as a little caution for the teacher, your White Lotus Holy Light is really powerful."
Lu Fengqiu smiled slightly, even if this golden cymbal was not given to him by Maitreya Buddha, he could still change it into an identical one.
But since Maitreya Buddha took the initiative to give it to him, there was no need for him to refuse.
After receiving the golden cymbal, Lu Fengqiu and Maitreya Buddha gossiped a few more times, and then prepared to leave.
At this time, Maitreya Buddha suddenly stopped Lu Fengqiu again and said, "Gibbon monkey, I hope that when you say goodbye, you will not stand on the opposite side of the Buddha realm." ”
Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "When I stepped out of the Buddha realm, I was already standing on the opposite side. ”
After that, Lu Fengqiu left the Buddha realm.
Maitreya Buddha looked at the direction where Lu Fengqiu disappeared, sighed slightly, and said softly: "I'm afraid the Three Realms will be troublesome. ”
……
"Hey! Brother, you wait for me! ”
"Wait for me!"
Lu Fengqiu walked out of the Buddha realm with his front foot, and heard the shout of the Yellow Eyebrow King with his back foot.
Lu Fengqiu stopped in the clouds and waited for the Yellow Eyebrow King.
The Yellow Eyebrow King caught up, looked at Lu Fengqiu with a puzzled expression, and said, "Senior brother, where are you going?" ”
Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "Senior brother, I'm going to the mortal world." ”
When the Yellow Eyebrow King heard this, he smiled and said, "Senior brother, what are you doing in the mortal world?" Did Master send you some task? ”
"How about Senior Brother coming with you?"
When Lu Fengqiu heard this, he smiled and said, "Senior brother really wants to go with me?" ”
The Yellow Eyebrow King nodded and said, "That's nature!" It's so boring to stay in the Buddha realm, you should go out and play. ”
Lu Fengqiu said: "Aren't you afraid that the master will know about the punishment on you?" ”
King Huangmei said: "It's a big deal to be punished for some time, and it's not for evil." ”
Lu Fengqiu smiled slightly and said, "I'm going to find trouble with Sun Wukong, do you want to go with you?" ”
When the Yellow Eyebrow King heard this, he frowned and said, "Senior brother is going to find trouble with Sun Wukong?" I heard that the Monkey King has great powers, five hundred years ago, he made a big havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals in the Heavenly Court couldn't do anything about him, and in the end, it was the Buddha who personally took action to press him under the Five Elements Mountain. ”
"Senior brother, do you have an enmity with him?"
Lu Fengqiu said: "If you talk about grudges, it's not a grudge, it's just a matter related to him, I have to go to him to ask for an explanation." ”
King Huang Mei said: "What's the matter? ”
Lu Fengqiu said: "In my previous life, I was the general of the monkey, at that time, there was a fairy of the bird, secretly admired me, after the end of my life, she also accompanied the statue of the general of the monkey, and the statue of the general of the monkey also had a statue of the fairy in his hand. ”
"And just a few days ago, this statue was shattered."
When the King of Yellow Eyebrows heard this, he said, "Could it be that Sun Wukong broke it?" ”
Lu Fengqiu shook his head with a smile and said, "Although the statue was not broken by Sun Wukong, this incident was caused by him. ”
"The catastrophe should also start from this, although it is far-fetched, but it can be regarded as a reason."
"Mortals who have milk are mothers, and I should punish them for forgetting righteousness when I see profit."
When the Yellow Eyebrow King heard this, he said very righteously: "Then junior brother, you shouldn't go alone, I'll go with you to teach that Monkey King a lesson!" ”
Lu Fengqiu looked at the Yellow Eyebrow King, smiled, and said, "Since you are willing to follow, then let's come together." ”
When the King of Yellow Eyebrows heard this, he was overjoyed.
……
Lu Fengqiu took the Yellow Eyebrow King to the statue of the former Monkey General, and now the statue of the Monkey General has been replaced by the statue of the Monkey King.
When the Yellow Eyebrow King saw that there were still mortals coming to offer incense to the Monkey King, he was angry, he already knew that this place was originally dedicated to his junior brother gibbon monkey.
Now this group of mortals actually smashed the statue of his junior brother because they saw Sun Wukong's great ability, which is really unbearable.
The Yellow Eyebrow King is going to attack the mortals and teach them a lesson.
Lu Fengqiu stopped the Huangmei King in time and said, "Senior brother, you don't need to do it. ”
The King of Yellow Eyebrows was puzzled, "What's the matter?" Bro? Don't you need me to punish them? ”
Lu Fengqiu shook his head slightly and said, "I have already punished them." ”
King Huangmei was puzzled and said, "Senior brother, how did you punish these people?" ”
Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "If people are ungrateful because of greed, they will naturally have bad luck, although they will not kill them, but they will also get seriously ill." ”
The King of Yellow Eyebrows gave a thumbs up and said, "Senior brother, you are still clever in your means, moisturizing things silently!" ”
Lu Fengqiu glanced at the Yellow Eyebrow King, this Yellow Eyebrow King's Buddha heart is not firm, if the Buddha heart is firm, he will not leave the Buddha realm and become a member of this Journey to the West.
However, in the original play, King Huangmei is still very good to the gibbon, even if the gibbon monkey becomes a demon, he does not draw a line with the gibbon monkey, so he does not communicate, but gives the gibbon a lot of help.
Lu Fengqiu looked at the King of Yellow Eyebrows and said, "Senior brother, do you want to become a Buddha?" ”
Although the Yellow Eyebrow King didn't know why Lu Fengqiu suddenly asked him this question, he still replied: "Of course I think about it, if you become a Buddha, then it will be majestic, mortals will respect it, offer it, and you can enjoy bliss forever and live forever, wouldn't it be happy!" ”
"Don't you want to become a Buddha?"
Lu Fengqiu bowed slightly, and said, "I really don't want to become a Buddha, I just want to become a Buddha and achieve my own way." ”
When the Yellow Eyebrow King heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, and after a while, he reacted and said to Lu Fengqiu: "Senior brother, are you okay?" ”
Lu Fengqiu shook his head with a smile and said, "Let's go, it's time for us to go to Tang Seng and apprentice." ”
……
Lu Fengqiu took the King of Huangmei to set up the Xiaoleiyin Temple on the road that Tang monks and apprentices must pass.
This time, Lu Fengqiu changed into the appearance of the Buddha.
The Yellow Eyebrow King looked at Lu Fengqiu's changed Buddha, and couldn't help but admire: "Senior brother, it's amazing!" There is no flaw in this change! ”
Lu Fengqiu smiled, and with a wave of his hand, a group of monks and bodhisattvas appeared in the hall.
"Senior brother, who are you going to become?"
When the Huangmei Ancestor heard this, he thought about it and said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to become a Buddha to have a good time, but now I can only become a Guanyin Bodhisattva to play." ”
After that, the golden light on the Huangmei Ancestor flashed, and it had already changed into the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
At this time, Lu Fengqiu looked outside the Xiaoleiyin Temple, and the Tang monks and apprentices had already arrived at the foot of the mountain of the Xiaoleiyin Temple.
