Chapter 4: Worship a real person and get the name Wukong

King Jing of Zhou for four years, Luoyi civil strife, Luoyi is located in the Yang of Luoshui, so it is also called Luoyang, King Zhou Jing for 20 years, King Zhou Jing wanted to establish the eldest son of the prince dynasty, unsuccessful, collapsed, and the people of the country set up mourning the king, in the same year, the prince dynasty killed the mourning king and stood on his own. In the first year of King Jing of Zhou, the prince of Jin supported the establishment of the prince as the king of Jing, and the king of Zhou Jing was four years old, and the Jin State led the princes to support the king of Jing into the capital of Luoyi, and the prince of the dynasty went to Chu with the Zhou classics and rituals.

In the same year, Lao Tzu left Luoyi with the classics of the Tibetan room.

Confucius wanted to dedicate the book to the Zhou room, and his disciple Zi Lu Mou said: From the history of the Zhou Dynasty, there are old men who are exempt from returning to the world, and the master wants to collect books, then try to go to the cause. Confucius said: Goodness. See you again.

In the autumn of the fourth year of King Jing of Zhou, Chen Ang took the stone monkey to Luoyang to see Lao Dan.

The monkey followed Chen Ang all the way to Luoyang, all the way to Luoyang, the princes contended, fought back and forth, the more to Luoyang, the four fields were even more desolate, broken walls, well railings were broken, Qianmo was wrongly broken, the countryside was barren, and the dry grass was sorrowful. But when he sees man like an ape, dressed like himself, he gradually hurts his heart, and compassion grows.

And Chen Ang rode the clouds, encountered mountains and mountains, encountered water and crossed the water, even though the southern Zhanbu continent was extremely vast, the road that the monkey took several years to walk, Chen Ang had walked one day and night, and when it was getting late the next day, he had arrived outside Luoyi City, at this time, the rebellion of the prince dynasty was not long, and the mottled traces of war outside Luoyi City had not subsided.

The fields are barren and the fields are barren.

Chen Ang dressed up and entered the city, but there was no one to stop him, and the monkey was dressed in clothes and followed behind like a person, and after Chen Ang entered the city, he stopped slightly, looked up at the sky, and went straight to a place in the city.

The monkey was puzzled and asked, "These four wildernesses, how does the teacher know where the old man is?" ”

"Guanluoyi Qiqi, its east is the most expensive, two purple gases intertwined and transpiring 30,000 miles high, one winds like a dragon, the other is entrenched like a lin, it is the appearance of a saint. The dragon's head is leaning on the white clouds, and it can be seen that the saint should be white-haired, the shape of an old man, the Qilin East Pillow is weak, the danger of the two nights, entrenched in Kui, Lou Division, Xuanfang, Lou two stars in front, must be born from Ludi, from Qi land. ”

"I heard that the great sage Kongqiu, born in Lu and traveled to the country of Qi, Lao Tzu was born old, has gray hair, the place where the purple gas is entrenched, it must be Kong Qiu asked Yu Lao Dan, you are a good chance...... Why don't you go with me quickly? ”

Qian Qi was overjoyed, and the jumping general led the way, and then a bearded man next to him bowed down and said: "Sage and slow!" I just heard that the sage is astronomical and has the ability to look at the sky, and he must be a sage in the world, and he is willing to take it as a precursor and introduce the master! ”

There is a sub-road in front of the way, Chen Ang with the stone monkey went straight to the place where Lao Tzu lived, along the way Zilu consulted Chen Ang several times, only to know its astronomy and geography, the grammar of various countries is known, more respectful, to the outside of the thatched house, he first confessed to Chen Ang, and then went to the thatched house, and asked the two saints to come out.

Chen Ang didn't stand for long, the monkey is an indefinite one, fortunately, he is now knowledgeable and affectionate, and he barely restrains himself, but the monkey's nature does not change, but it is inevitable to squeeze his eyebrows and make eyes, and before long, someone walked out of the thatched house, walking in front of a clear old man, with a strange appearance and a vision, only to see that he has yellow and white hair, slender eyebrows, broad cheeks and long ears, big eyes and sparse teeth, and thick lips.

A middle-aged man in the back, with his head on the top of the polder, is tall and different from ordinary people.

Zilu followed the two of them, like disciples.

Rare, Chen Ang stepped forward and saluted respectfully, and said: "Chen Ang respectfully worships Lao Dan and Kong Qiu, the two great sages, ......" and saluted Lao Tzu again: "I have seen the Qing people!" ”

The monkey is behind, blessed to the soul, and also learns to bow down.

Confucius was not messy and returned the same salute, while Lao Tzu just smiled, which showed the difference in the temperament of the two.

After the three of them entered the house, Qian Qi secretly asked: "When the teacher saw Patriarch Su Bodhi, he didn't see the number of courtesies, and his words were disdainful, why did he make such a big gift when he saw these two mortals today?" Why did you bow to the old man first, and then make a half-salute? ”

"Subodhi is just my junior, how can I be my gift?" Chen Ang smiled and said, "It's just an enlightened person, just a fellow practitioner." I bow to Lao Dan twice, the former respect Lao Tzu, the back respect Taiqing, Confucius Lao Dan for my ancestors, naturally deserve my a salute, although the Tai Qing people are vast, but just the same way, not worthy of my bow, can only be half respected, of which the Thai half also depends on the position of him and my host and guest. ”

Of course, the stone monkey didn't know that the first salute was done by the Han Chen Ang, and the respect was made by the sages, and the second half of the salute was done by Chen Ang on behalf of the Chen sect leader, and the Chen sect leader and the Taiqing people were the same way, only because he came to the world opened up by the Taiqing people, he paid homage to his master, and Lao Tzu was just the head of the chin, because he did not regard Chen Ang as the Chen sect leader, and he did not need to return the salute.

Although it was late that day, the three of them sat down and talked for a while, until the oil lamp was dim and it was not good to walk, and then they gave up.

The three of them talked about the Tao for three days, thirsty Youzi Lu called the mountain spring from the ancient well in the city, hungry Youzi went to pick wild fruits near the left, and together with Zilu, cooked the corn of Lao Dan Thatched House, and the bacon brought by Kong Qiu, that Qian Cong was hard, got up early to sweep the thatched house, and Zilu carried water and pulp together, made a fire to cook, and also read and learn words with Zilu, and listened to Lao Dan, Kong Qiu, and Chen Ang preach to the Tao.

Of these three people, one is selfless, one is godless, and the other is nameless.

Lao Dan, Kong Qiu, and Chen Ang, the other is not the most knowledgeable person in this world, one is a Taoist ancestor, the other is a Confucian teacher, and the last one takes civilization as a chessboard, writes in his heart, experiments with the way of civilization development, and acts frenziedly, but the wisdom that is integrated from this can be called mysterious and harmonious, and there is no falsehood.

They talked about the way to govern the country, Zilu listened to it fascinated, talked about morality and etiquette, Zilu listened to it and danced and got carried away.

Only that monkey, although he heard the most subtle theory of the three religions, but because he was not humane, most of the time he was there ignorant, only the three of them talked about the universe of heaven and earth, natural creation, and the way of all things, they could hear the wonders of it, and they were overjoyed, he was a psychic stone monkey, and his wisdom and understanding were really the best choice, but the monkey nature in his heart did not change and jumped out of the difficult decision, so he delayed this Taoist material.

Although Kong Qiu is a sage, after all, his energy is on humanity, and for the lofty way of heaven and the mysteries of nature, he is far inferior to Lao Dan, the incarnation of the earth-breaking Taiqing people, not to mention Chen Ang, several incarnations are either immortal Taoist saints, or gods of God, or seekers with the power of natural science, such mad people.

Later, I talked less and listened more, and there was another wisdom to explain.

And although the stone monkey listened to humane things and didn't understand it, he learned one point of Confucius like a man, one point learned the old man Wu Wei is as compassionate as a god, and another point is that Chen Ang took the beast nature and did not shed it, and added the demonic nature, on the surface he was a man of etiquette and a talent for carrying the Tao, and he was unruly and unruly inside and went deeper and deeper into the bone marrow, and there was a demonic nature that ignored all things.

As the saying goes, gods, demons, people and monkeys are all me, break the stubborn stone and not Wukong!

One day, the Taiqing people saw the monkey sweeping outside the door, and suddenly called it in, and the stone monkey bowed to the ground, only to hear the Taiqing people: "I have some fate with you, Chen Daoyou's meaning, I already know everything...... I ask you, what's your last name? ”

The monkey raised his head and said with some hesitation: "I am a monkey who was born and raised, how can I have a name, I just hope that the teacher will see the disciple diligent and alert one day and reward me with a name!" After that, he looked at Chen Ang with a blank eye. caused Chen Ang to shake his head secretly and said angrily: "What do you think I do? I've said that the person in front of you is half of your parents, why can't you have a surname? ”

The monkey's face changed greatly: "Is it called me also old?" I'm still a little monkey, I just want to live forever, if I have this surname, go back and call me the king, I have to add an old word, become the boss king, call me monkey, and become an old monkey, old monkey! The seniority is one generation older. I went to sea to learn the art of immortality, so I didn't attract the jokes of my children? The omen is also unlucky......"

Tai Qing Zhen smiled: "Since you don't want to be old, and you want to live forever, then the surname is Sun!" ”

Chen Ang also said: "You seem to be a talented person, but you are unruly inside, you would rather bend than bend, and you will definitely break into a catastrophe in the future, this is your natural ferocity, a stubborn willfulness, and the demonic nature that you learned from your teacher." You are an ape, and as a teacher, I don't expect you to become a moral real person, break the stubborn stone and not Wukong - you are called Sun Wukong"
