Chapter 54: A mini-game recommended by Patriarch Bodhi
After a short time, Wukong flew to the boundary of Fangcun Mountain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He searched the same way, but he couldn't find the location of the three-star cave of the slanting moon.
Wukong said secretly: "Doesn't the ancestor want to see me?"
So he searched everywhere again, but the rotten peach mountain was still there, but there was no shadow of the three-star cave. Just as he was helpless, he suddenly heard a familiar voice sound: "Where did the monkey come from, scurrying around in this mountain, could it be that he is here to steal my treasure?"
When Wukong heard this, he burst into tears, and knelt down with a bang at the place where the voice came from: "Master, the apprentice has come back to see you!"
The patriarch appeared, sat cross-legged on a pine branch, and said with a smile: "You monkey head, you finally want to come and see me." ”
Wukong said: "Master, it's not that I don't want to come back and see you. In the past, the disciple was not famous, and he didn't dare to come back to see you, but then he just broke out a little fame, but he was suppressed by the Buddha under the Five Elements Mountain. ”
The patriarch said: "Well, I understand, you couldn't think of being a teacher when you were happy, but now that you're in trouble, you think of me." ”
Wukong said: "I know that Master has always been low-key, how dare he easily disturb him." The matter of the five villages, the Buddha has a headache, and he will never dare to bother the master with this matter, and this heart can be learned. It's just that I heard that Zhen Yuanzi mentioned that I have a master, so I missed my master, so I took this opportunity to come back and see you, master, don't misunderstand. ”
The patriarch smiled: "You still need to be reminded by others, so you can only think of me?"
Wukong said: "Master, the disciple is a person with a stone heart, how can there be so many words, you are also careful." ”
The patriarch said: "You don't know your temperament as a teacher, I'm just joking." ”
Wukong said: "Master, the disciple hasn't seen you for many years, and I really miss you so much." Master, how are you all these years?"
The patriarch said: "It's only a few hundred years. Wukong, you haven't been cultivating for a long time, and you still don't know a lot of things. The so-called cultivation has no time, and you will understand it slowly. ”
Wukong said: "Master is idle. The disciple protected the Tang monk and traveled westward, and he was not depressed along the way, and he was really like a year. ”
The patriarch said: "Apprentice, do you know why the teacher named you 'Wukong' back then?"
Wukong said: "Yes, I also think it's strange. I am a stone that has become true, and it is true that it is reasonable, how can it be empty?"
The patriarch said: "You are talented and intelligent, and you are a rare cultivation genius, but your heart is a little worse, and you are too impatient to do things. Taoism is about the tribulation, Buddhism is about the high must fall, gathering must be dispersed, merging must be separated, life must die, the world is impermanent, all living beings are suffering, if you want to achieve the right result, jump out of the Three Realms, you have to experience all kinds of disasters. Therefore, you are not suitable for the cultivation of Taoism, but more suitable for practicing in Buddhism. I calculated this right back then, and that's why I named you 'Wukong'. Entering the empty gate is the right path for your cultivation. ”
Wukong said: "Master, this Buddhist practice is really too hard. I think about how carefree I was when I practiced Taoism, but now I am a human bodyguard, leading a horse to fall, serving food and so on, which is actually some trivial things. ”
The patriarch said, "If not, how can you hone your mind." Wukong, you have only practiced for a thousand years, and this westward journey to learn scriptures is just a test for you. If you practice with your heart, your future will be limitless. ”
Wukong said: "But since the disciple entered the Buddhism, his skills have not only not grown, but have become weaker and weaker. ”
The patriarch smiled and said: "Apprentice, I said to listen to you, as a teacher is the reincarnation of the ancient demon, and when I accepted you as an apprentice, firstly, because of your talent, it is really a material that can be made, and secondly, because I am not used to what Heavenly Court does, I want to borrow your power to calculate Heavenly Court, so I am not bound to you." If the Buddha is different, he wants to use you to complete his plan to move eastward, so naturally he can't let you do whatever you want and cause trouble everywhere. In the future, if you succeed in learning from the experience, you will naturally be free of these constraints, and you will be able to achieve positive results, so why not?"
Wukong said: "Even if you achieve positive results in the future, it's not that you can't fight them." Master, I have met several people who have great means. Needless to say, if the Buddha comes, the Wuchao Zen Master and Zhenyuan Daxian that the disciples have met recently are all powerful characters, even if they are in the heyday of the disciples, most of them are not their opponents. ”
The patriarch said, "You are still not satisfied." Wukong, how many years have you only cultivated, and how many years have those righteous gods cultivated? If you only talk about supernatural powers and don't talk about qualifications, how many people in these three realms can beat you? If you are not satisfied, where do you let those righteous gods who have cultivated for endless years put their faces away? The Buddha and the Wuchao Zen Master you mentioned are both people who have jumped out of the Three Realms, and both of them have their own world. You can't fight this kind of power. For example, when you couldn't jump out of the palm of your hand, it was because he restrained you with the power of his own world, how could you jump out? That Wuchao Zen Master was an ancient demon in his previous life, and he was my successor, and later he also cultivated into the Wuchao world. As for Zhen Yuanzi, I don't know how many years he has been cultivating, his comprehension is worse, but he is also a person who has mastered the realm, and his sleeve is a big field. In terms of supernatural powers, he is still taller than you. Well, he can't kill you or suppress you. To put it simply, you can't help him, and he can't help you. ”
Wukong said: "Master, do you mean that as long as you master the power of the world and the power of the realm, you are stronger than me?"
The patriarch smiled: "Of course. But don't be discouraged. Your talent is extremely high, at least much higher than that Zhen Yuanzi, and in time, you will not be below him. ”
Wukong said: "Zhenyuan Daxian said that Sanqing is his friend, and he must be a person of the same level as Taishang Laojun, right?
The patriarch said: "Lao Jun is also a figure who has cultivated for endless years, but he is studying manufacturing majors. Alchemy and refining tools are his specialties. Zhen Yuanzi majored in attacking Taoism, and in terms of force value, of course, it was much stronger than Lao Jun. ”
Wukong laughed, "I see. ”
The patriarch said: "Actually, some of the great powers didn't make a move back then, otherwise how could you allow you to mess up the Heavenly Palace, and even the position of the Jade Emperor almost let you sit down." ”
Wukong said: "Master, what other great powers are there in these three realms?"
The patriarch said: "Don't say it far away, just say that the Yuan Shi Tianzun is not something you can deal with, and his master Hongjun Dao Ancestor is even more unfathomable." As for the Rulai of Buddhism, Wuchao and Maitreya are collectively known as the troika of contemporary Buddhism. At that time, Buddhism Sanying fought Hongjun Daozu, which established the status of Buddhism today. It's not much use for me to tell you this, just know a little bit about it. ”
Wukong said, "What about you, Master?"
The patriarch smiled and said, "My Three-Star Cave of the Oblique Moon is also a world, if I don't want to see you, how can you find it? ”
Wukong said: "I don't know how the master compares to the Buddha?"
The patriarch said: "Although Rulai is a rising star, he is extremely talented. His cultivation to this day is no worse than being a teacher. Moreover, he has many disciples, and he can't compare with him as a teacher. ”
Wukong said: "Master, you are really. If you want to form your own team, you won't be like coming to the Buddha. ”
The patriarch smiled: "When the teacher was famous, then Rulai was just a mortal. But what about the glamorous scenery? What I've learned over the years are four words: 'low-key, low-key'. ”
Wukong said: "What's the use of being low-key, can you eat it as a meal?"
The patriarch said, "Apprentice, what do you think of the surrounding environment?"
Wukong said: "This is a small hillside, and on the hillside is this pine forest." ”
The patriarch said, "What about the distance?"
Wukong said: "There is a woodcutter on the opposite mountain, who is chopping wood. There are some fields and huts in the col, a few farmers are doing farm work in the fields, and a few urchin children are playing by the huts. On the small river over there, there was a fisherman casting his net, and there were a few fishermen by the river. ”
The patriarch said, "Then how do you feel after reading it?"
Wukong said: "Master's treasure mountain, the scenery is naturally speechless, but those ordinary people work at sunrise and sunset all day long, busy and busy, just running around for a living, how can we be so carefree." ”
The patriarch said: "In your heart, fighting, eating and drinking, is the greatest happiness, how can you comprehend the wisdom and mystery contained in the mundane." ”
Wukong said: "I only know that life in the world is to be happy and free. Master's state of mind, I really can't comprehend. ”
The patriarch said, "Wukong, if you don't understand this, how can you progress?"
Wukong said: "It seems that there are not many people who are better than me." ”
The patriarch said: "How can it be so simple. The Far West, as well as the West Pole Continents, are controlled by two great divine courts. There are also many powerful ones over there, such as the God Yahweh, the god-king Zeus, the Hades king, the sea god Poseidon, and so on. ”
Wukong said: "I've only heard of the West Heaven, so there is another West Pole Continent?"
The patriarch said: "The West Pole Continents belong to a hidden map, protected by enchantments, and they are not open for the time being. ”
Wukong said: "I see. It seems that the disciple's cultivation years are indeed too short, and I have never heard of what you said. ”
The patriarch said: "The West Pole continents are separated by oceans, not to mention hundreds of millions of miles away. It's not just you, even a lot of righteous gods don't know, and it's normal that you don't know. ”
Wukong said: "The apprentice must practice hard and live up to the master's cultivation grace." ”
The patriarch said: "Those are all things in the future, you should take care of the present first." That Tang Xuanzang is talented and intelligent, and his understanding is extremely high, he is still above you, you have to learn from him. ”
Wukong said: "That parallel import master is the most worry-free, Master, you still praise him like this." ”
The patriarch smiled: "You underestimate him too much. If he doesn't have the ability, how can he be your master?"
Wukong said: "Because he is the reincarnation of the second disciple of the Buddha, the Bodhisattva said that it is called the fate of the law." ”
The patriarch said: "There are many disciples under Rulai, and Jin Chanzi is the most disobedient one. The transmission of Buddhist scriptures to the east is related to incense, such a big event, why didn't you send someone else, just this most disobedient golden cicada?"
Wukong said: "Just because of his IQ and understanding?"
The patriarch said, "Not bad. This Tang Xuanzang seems to be nervous, have you ever seen him get into any trouble?"
Wukong thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there is no once." ”
The patriarch said: "Then why didn't he get into trouble? Is it because he was cowardly? If he was cowardly, how could he dare to contradict Rulai back then, and he was so angry that he vomited blood?"
Wukong said: "Just like him, can he make Rulai so angry that he vomits blood?
The patriarch said: "Is it necessary to deceive you as a teacher? The difference between you and Xuanzang is the word 'planning'. To put it simply, if you are wise and foolish, you will be able to calculate others, and if you are foolish and wise, you will be calculated. Do you really think you are the number one actor in Journey to the West? In Rulai's plan, you're just a daredevil. ”
Wukong said: "The Bodhisattva has also told me this truth, but I can't understand it deeply. The Tang monk also told his disciples, but he couldn't explain it clearly. ”
The patriarch said: "The most important thing in Buddhism is the word 'enlightenment', and they remind you that it has exceeded the distance. Back then, if you came to smile at the flowers, only the Buddha Ye understood its meaning, which was the authentic way of Buddhism. It's not that you're not smart, it's that you're not putting your mind to the right place. ”
Wukong said: "Please also ask Master to teach me." ”
The patriarch said: "As a teacher, he is good at deduction, and this calculation is actually a kind of deduction." However, the results of deduction are not absolute, and different deductions will get different results. If you want to get as accurate results as possible, you need to consider all aspects of factors and pay attention to the changes in various subtleties, which is the so-called silent thunder, details determine success or failure. If you only know how to use force, you will never be able to achieve great things. ”
Wukong said: "Master, the disciple has always been free and casual, this detail, I don't pay attention to the most, but I don't know how to learn?"
The patriarch smiled, raised his hand and threw down two pieces of paper, Wukong reached out to take it, but he didn't know what it meant.
The patriarch said, "Wukong, what are the differences between these two pieces of paper?"
Wukong looked at it carefully, and after reading it, he said to the patriarch: "There are five differences. ”
The patriarch said: "Where are five places enough! Among them, there are ninety-nine eighty-one differences. ”
Wukong looked at it again, and after looking at it for a long time, he replied: "The disciple can see fifteen differences again, and he can't see it anymore." ”
The patriarch said, "That's how it should be. If you were delicate, when you stole the peach and stole the elixir, you wouldn't have left so many crude flaws. It's just a normal game of finding faults, and if you can figure out all the differences, you're barely passing. Take it and think about it. ”
Wukong hurriedly accepted the picture, hid it closely, and said to the patriarch: "Master, then what should I do now?"
The patriarch said: "Zhen Yuanzi's matter is just a wrestling between all parties. To put it bluntly, it is to negotiate and share the cake. If all parties are satisfied, the problem will be solved. ”
Wukong said, "Could the master please tell me more about it?"
The patriarch said: "You are not very familiar with the overseas three stars, you will go to them to make peace, and then let Guanyin Dashi save the ginseng fruit tree, and then see what other requirements Zhen Yuanzi has." When all aspects are negotiated, your task is accomplished. ”
Wukong said: "I have already gone to the Bodhisattva, but she said that the problem is very complicated and she refuses to come forward." ”
The patriarch said: "She is procrastinating." I'm just waiting for you to find the peacemaker. ”
Wukong was puzzled and said, "Master, what is the benefit of this procrastination?"
The patriarch explained: "You think, you knocked down Zhen Yuanzi's ginseng fruit tree, he can't be cured as a botanical expert, if the Buddha Gate is cured by medical treatment, then how can Zhen Yuanzi be embarrassed? This is not only for outsiders to see, but also for Zhen Yuanzi to be soft in disguise. If you do this, Zhen Yuanzi will have face, and then you will be able to talk about the affairs of Lizi. ”
Wukong said: "Master, I don't understand. Why does this Buddhism bother to give in to Zhen Yuanzi? What do you mean by this?"
The patriarch said: "If you knock down the fruit tree, Buddhism will naturally be at a loss." What's more, this Zhen Yuanzi is known as the ancestor of the earth immortals, and in this nether realm, it is very influential. If you want to say that he ascended to the top and called for a crowd of followers, it would not be too much at all. Now that the relationship between the parties is delicate, of course Buddhism cannot offend him. As for Lizi, it depends on what conditions Zhen Yuanzi will propose. ”
Wukong said: "The disciple understands now. But since the water in it is so deep, the disciple feels that it is difficult to understand. ”
The patriarch smiled, "You're not wrong to be worried. What kind of problem Zhen Yuanzi will propose, even I can't figure out. So it's really not easy for you to accomplish this task. Well, I'll help you as a teacher. ”
Wukong was overjoyed and said, "Master, please speak!"
The patriarch said: "If Zhen Yuanzi wants to embarrass you, you tell him that when he crossed the catastrophe, someone let him go." Just say that, and he'll understand. ”
Wukong said: "I understand, thank you Master!"
The patriarch said, "Wukong, you can go now." It's okay in the future, try not to come to me. ”
Wukong said: "The disciple knows. Then he kowtowed to the patriarch nine times in a row.
Wukong kowtowed and looked again, where was the ancestor, only to see a post floating from the treetops. Wukong hurriedly took it over and took a look, and there were sixteen words on it: 'Wukong in this life, Bodhi in the next life, jumping out of the Three Realms, vertical and horizontal. ’
Wukong pondered and said, "The ancestor is my master, how can it be my descendant? If the patriarch is my descendant, then who is the current patriarch?"
Having fulfilled his wish to visit his master, Wukong turned around and headed for the overseas Immortal Mountain.
