The leaping stone monkey got the name, Yiran enthusiastically first thanked Chen Ang, and worshiped the Taiqing people, the three saints talked about the Tao for ten days, Wukong learned etiquette ethics from Confucius, listened to Lao Tzu, and learned a belly of moral inaction, and finally got Chen Ang to teach, proficient in natural science, really a great creation, good chance, before the three saints of the law, half a monkey and half an immortal.
It has long learned language and politeness with Zilu, learned to be reasonable, studied diligently every day, swept the floor and weeded every day, looked for firewood and lit fire, carried pulp and boiled water, and took care of the cowshed behind the thatched house, led the green cow to herd, and swept the fur. Everything that the three saints used was prepared.
Whenever the three saints gave a lecture, it sat with Zilu and listened to the lecture.
It's just that Kong Qiu came from Qi to visit Lao Dan, only because the prince was wrapped in the Zhou room to guard the Tibetan room, and the temple collected the map to Chu, resulting in the escape of the Zhou room map, in order to offer the collection of books and King Jing of Zhou, and rebuild the storage room.
Kong Qiu's trip failed to go as expected, and after a month of discussing with Lao Dan and Chen Ang, he returned to Lu with his portable son.
Wukong listened to this month's teachings, wisdom and spirituality, very different from before, he and Zilu sooner or later together, already friends, to send Confucius Sage dozens of miles, this day he led the green cow to eat grass outside the city, thinking of Zilu Guilu, Wukong's wisdom sprouted, listening to the three sages said, there is already a Tao, this day to produce a stone monkey the day after tomorrow, the magic power is really extraordinary, know yin and yang, will personnel, can perceive the reason, know before and after, everything is clear, can avoid death and prolong life, know the son of the road to go, almost no goodbye day.
It saw that Zilu was a fierce and upright person, and all saints attained the Tao, there would be twists and turns, and in the dark, it already knew that Zilu was afraid of calamity, and he would not die well, so he couldn't help but feel sad and wanted to cry.
Wukong stroked the back of the green ox with his hand and screamed sadly: "Zilu, Zilu, goodbye no way!" Where does the soul go? ”
"He has his own creation, and he will get the right result in the next life, I have heard Confucius say in the past few days: The court hears the Tao, and the past can die. Although Zhong You has the difficulty of swords, but his soul is dependent, the future is great, and the achievements of the past and future lives are probably even higher than ours, so why should you be sad? ”
"The afterlife? The soul is gone, what ...... talk about" Wukong had no time to discern, and replied casually, but it came back to his senses, turned his head to look at the green cow, and saw that the green cow was also looking at it, his eyes were like people, his wisdom was smart, and he even smiled at it, Wukong only felt that the hair on his body exploded, took a step back, and shouted: "Monster!" ”
"Where did the monster come from, turned into a cow raised by the old man's family, and bluffed me when he opened his mouth!"
Qingniu was also angry, and opened his mouth and said: "You have a hairy face, you wear clothes and speak etiquette, you look down on the same people who wear hair and horns, you are a stone monkey in front of Chen Ang's sage seat, and I am also the Taiyi Yuanjing under the seat of Laojun, and the horned green cow." is from a different background, I thought you were a righteous person, who knows, look down on me like this! ”
Wukong came back to his senses and knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he flattered and said: "Brother, you keep silent on weekdays, and between actions, like Chang Niu, how can I tell the difference?" Just now, I didn't speak well and offended my brother, so I asked Brother Niu to forgive me. ”
Qingniu was relieved at this time, and said loudly: "Mortals are rare and strange, Grandpa Laojun is staying here, how dare I make trouble for him?" It is also today that you and I are alone, and we are both strangers with fur and horns, that I have spoken to you, and if you are a mortal, do not talk to me. so as not to offend the lord and invite trouble. ”
"You are also lucky, that Master Chen Ang, I have heard the old man mention it. It is an incarnation of the immeasurable Tianzun, when the grandfather of the old monarch opened the world, Yuqing and Shangqing both refused to come to the world, before the lord gasified the three Qings, he had the intention to invite the immeasurable Tianzun to occupy the position of the beginning of the Yuqing Dynasty, but the immeasurable Tianzun refused to thank him, so he gave up. ”
"Now that the old man has lost the history of Tibet, he wanted to go west to Hangu Guanhuahu, but he saw the unicorn coming east, the phoenix flying south, and singing in the sun of Luoshui, knowing that there were two saints who came to visit, so he stayed. Now that the Sect Master of Confucius is going east, the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable invites him, and this is about to set off, and the west is out of the Han Valley, since you have the honor to worship under the seat of the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable and the Sect Master Chen Ang, why don't you quickly pack your luggage and prepare a frame for me, so that you can carry the two saints to the west? ”
Wukong heard that Qingniu had leaked secrets, and got a glimpse of the origin of his master, and he was overjoyed, scratching his ears and cheeks: "I didn't expect the teacher to have such a background, thank you brother for telling me." Since I apprenticed, I was ignorant and didn't know how powerful, but now I have the help of Brother Niu, and I know that I am fortunate and have a good future! Lest I inadvertently offend the ancestor and admit it! Confess! ”
When it saw that the green cow had eaten enough grass, it hurriedly took the rope and accompanied the ox back, and when it entered the thatched house, it heard Chen Ang call: "Wukong come here!" ”
The stone monkey came to Chen Ang and listened to his instructions: "The Taiqing sage intends to go west and turn Hu into a Buddha, I am ready to accompany you and listen to the teachings of Daode Tianzun all the way." But the Taiqing sage only has a green cow, and you are a monkey's frame, although the green cow has great strength, but the cow's back is narrow, and many people can't be planted. ”
After that, Chen Ang took out the gold boat of creation from his sleeve, threw it on the ground, turned it into a bronze frame, and Wukong led the green ox over, packed his luggage, and drove west.
Chen Ang and Lao Dan sat in the same car, pulled by the green ox, leisurely to Hangu Pass, Wukong walked in front of the green ox to pull the green ox, only to see outside Luodu, in the vast four fields, a bronze ox cart, slowly to the west, in front of a monkey traction, the back of the two saints as a seat, slowly disappeared in the sky.
On the ox cart, Chen Ang and Tai Qing people sat opposite each other and talked about the Tao, Kong Qiu had gone east, and the two of them restored the respect of the gods and saints and Buddhas, talking about the Tao of the Occult Theory, the nature of heaven and earth, the road to reason, and the magic of magic and magic talked at a long time, no longer only talking about the way of governing the country and humanity, this time the Tai Halal people talked about the opening of yin and yang, the reason of turbidity differentiation, and Chen Ang talked about the explosion of the universe and the wonderful meaning of the folds of dimensions.
The Tai Qing people talked about the sun's qi running too clearly, and Chen Ang talked about the fusion and fission of matter, and the qi ignited the stars.
The Taiqing sage ignited the vitality, created the world in one go, Chen Ang collapsed the dimension, the information was integrated into the universe, the two expressed their opinions, so that the green cow in front of the frame, Wukong who led the way with a rope listened to it as if he was fascinated, and smiled.
He waved his hand to sprinkle the grass into the plain, and herded the green cattle on the plain.
Such a long road is slow, let it end, after March and May, it is already close to Hangu Pass.
Hangu Guanguan order is named Yin Xi, since childhood to study ancient books, proficient in the calendar, good at observing astronomy, learning astrology, can know the past and see the future, today suddenly have a feeling, climb the tower and look east, the face is very different and the color changes, to the left and right said: "I look at the east purple gas west, astronomy shows Rui, purple gas is 30,000 miles long, it must be a saint to the east." Come forward with me to greet you! ”
So in the view of the building bathing fasting, day and night to observe the astronomical astronomical phases, purple gas from the east, showing the dragon and phoenix, know that there are two saints, one white hair and eyebrows, the old look, one jade face beardless, but the appearance of a young man, two saints come by ox cart, there are apes in front of the traction.
Yin Xi waited in Louguan for nine days, only to see a bronze frame appeared in front of Hangu Pass, pulled by a green ox with a horn, a monkey wearing a crown riding on the back of the cow, catching lice for the green cow, on the bronze frame, there was an old man and a young man talking side by side. Yin Xi knew that he was a saint, and hurriedly opened the door and went out to greet him.
