Cao Zhan rubbed his sore wrist vigorously and asked Wang Yangming curiously: "Mr. Thirteen, what is the origin of this monkey, how can he have such great magical powers?"

Wang Yangming said: "Didn't you listen to it when I said it? This monkey was conceived from a stone abandoned by Nuwa when she was mending the sky, and it has absorbed the essence of heaven and earth for an unknown number of years, which is of course extraordinary. ”

Cao Zhan nodded: "That's true, if a person absorbs hundreds of millions of years of heaven and earth essence, his energy will definitely be unimaginably large." ”

Wang Yangming listened to his words, his heart moved, he watched Journey to the West in his previous life, but he never thought that this monkey was born with countless years of accumulation of heaven and earth vitality.

On the other side, Robben interjected: "I don't think that's necessarily, you see that when the monkey went to the Water Curtain Cave after it was born, it didn't reflect any special difference, proving that it absorbed the essence of heaven and earth It was the stone that gave birth to it instead of it, I think it was after learning the ability from that Bodhi Patriarch for a few years that it had the magical power of being a Monkey King." ”

Cao Zhan immediately retorted: "This is enough to prove that Xiao Luo, you didn't copy what Mr. Thirteen said just now, you see, when this monkey was born, he saw two golden rays of light, and rushed straight to the bullfight, so shocked that the Jade Emperor sent clairvoyance to look at it, proving that this monkey was born with countless heaven and earth vitality, but later the vitality was hidden in the body." I think that the Bodhi Patriarch just taught it how to properly use the latent Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in its body. ”

The two were arguing, but Shi Yanduan was a relatively silent person and did not participate. Wang Yangming was funny on the side, his heart said that Journey to the West is worthy of being regarded as a great work of the four famous works in his previous life, and the two copyists in front of him have just copied ten times, and they have already begun to argue, if the entire Journey to the West is spread to the world, I don't know how many people will comment on this work.

The two of them fought for a long time, and they were each tired, so they went to find tea separately. Cao Zhan poured a large sip of herbal tea, turned around and asked Wang Yangming: "This book is written by Mr., Mr. should be able to solve the doubts between the two of us, may I ask whether this monkey was born so powerful, or did he become powerful after learning art from Patriarch Bodhi?"

Wang Yangming was stunned, he only cared about watching the excitement, and forgot that he was the author of this book in their eyes, and his explanation was naturally authoritative, so he hurriedly made a haha and did not comment: "The benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise, I wrote this book with the intention of asking readers to discuss, in fact, I don't have any definite answers in my own heart." ”

Wang Yangming talked nonsense, but the seemingly unfathomable answer frightened the three of them, and the scene was silent for a moment.

After a while, Cao Zhan asked again: "Sir, what kind of magic weapon is the Dinghaishen Needle?"

Wang Yangming said: "Isn't it explained in the book, the Dinghai God Needle, also known as the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick, is a stator used by a human ruler named Yu in ancient times to measure the depth of rivers, lakes and seas. ”

Cao Zhan was puzzled: "But Yu is just a human being, why can one of his stators fight against all the immortal weapons in the heavenly court?"

Next to him, Robben was arguing with Cao Zhan just now, and at this moment, he was arguing again, raising his eyebrows and shouting: "Sir, this is to show that the weapons made by humans can compete with the weapons of immortals, and as long as humans have enough time, they will be able to evolve to compete with immortals sooner or later." ”

Wang Yangming had never thought about it like this in his heart, but after listening to Robben's explanation, he also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey: "The benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise, the benevolent see the wise, the benevolent see the wise, it is good for you to discuss more, and it is also very helpful for my next writing ideas." ”

Cao Zhan and Robben argued for a while, then remembered a question and asked Wang Yangming: "The few words written on the cave of the Bodhi Patriarch are quite strange, what is the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, the three-star cave of the oblique moon?"

Where do you have so many questions!

Wang Yangming was about to find another reason to fool the past, but he heard Robben sneering softly beside him, full of disdain: "You don't even understand this." Lingtai is the heart of the person, the square inch is to say that the heart is only a square inch of the big place, the three stars of the oblique moon is an anagram, and the riddle is also the heart, these two sentences are to say that the Bodhi Patriarch lives in the hearts of the people of the world, so the Bodhi Patriarch is not a real character, he is just a virtual teacher in the heart of Sun Wukong. ”

Cao Zhan listened to his words, and immediately argued: "What you said is too mysterious, as you say, is it that Sun Wukong has become enlightened by himself, and has learned the seventy-two changes and somersault clouds without a teacher? He turned his head to look at Mr. Thirteen, expecting his answer.

Wang Yangming was so angry that he couldn't help but scold: "You two are here to copy books for me, why are you thinking farther than me!

Cao Zhan and Robben stopped thinking endlessly. Wang Yangming actually secretly admired the two in his heart, there was a saying in his previous life, called "After watching Journey to the West, talking like a fart", there are many inconsistencies in Journey to the West, so many people say that Wu Chengen is unable to control this work, leaving a lot of loopholes, and others say that Wu Chengen's contradictions are profound and need people to experience them carefully.

These debates have not stopped for thousands of years, and now these two people have begun to argue only by the first ten times he spoke, and the content of the argument has touched the field involved in the interpretation of Journey to the West in the previous life, which can't help but make Wang Yangming admire the talent of these two people.

Shi Yanduan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "You two can't help but think too much. This book has only been written for the first ten times, and Mr.'s thinking has not yet been completely determined, so naturally how Mr. will write it in the future, and the meaning of this book will change accordingly. Even if the two of you quarrel now, you will not guess all the wrong changes in your mind if it is not a change of mind?, so-" He paused and concluded, "You two are like the poor monkey, and the gentleman is the Buddha who crushed you under the Five Elements Mountain with one palm. ”

When the other two, including Wang Yangming, heard this, they all laughed and praised this as reasonable.

Wang Yangming took a sip of tea, looked at the large stack of manuscripts written by the three of them, and then looked at the three people who were rubbing their sore wrists, took out a silver ingot from his arms, and said, "This is your three-day salary, I will advance it to you first." After I was discharged from the hospital, I converted it into broken silver, and I didn't care, three cents per person. ”

Cao Zhan frowned, a little uncomfortable: "Why did Mr. give an extra three cents? Could it be that he pities us for being poor?"

Wang Yangming knew that poor people also had self-esteem, and he was afraid that they would have other ideas, so he hurriedly said: "The extra three cents are also wages, I want you to do me a small favor." I've been grounded by Dean San, and I can't leave the hospital, so you go out separately and send the manuscript we wrote to several big bookstores in Kyoto to see if they have any intention of publishing this collection, and I'll go today, I'll wait for your news. ”

Cao Zhan and the three of them responded, drank a sip of water at Wang Yangming's place, moistened their throats, and then got up to say goodbye.
