Chapter Twenty-Three: Monkey, Is Your Understanding?
Zhou Xuan's words completely shocked Xiong Ba and Wukong.
They thought about fighting with gods and immortals, but their pattern was too low, and they never thought that they could fight with Heavenly Dao!
Therefore, the root of cultivation is not to bully immortals and overlords and suppress the gods, but to allow yourself to integrate into it, survive steadily, and accumulate strength!
Only when their own strength is greater than everything else and even the Heavenly Dao cannot be suppressed, then is the time for them to shine.
Of course, Master only provided an idea, and it was still very far away from them, but it was not impossible!
The gods and Buddhas of the heavens are just chess pieces under the chessboard of the Heavenly Dao, and no matter how many chess pieces are destroyed, it will not hurt or itch for the Heavenly Dao, which regards the common people as dogs.
Only when one's own strength reaches the heavens and achieves creation, and then destroys the gods and Buddhas, wouldn't it be easy?
"I see!"
"Master said to be a human being first, and then cultivate the Tao."
"As the so-called Heavenly Dao is unpredictable, Master is using this method to teach the method of cultivation, the way to conquer the heavens!"
Thinking of this, the monkey's heart was excited.
A great joy welled up in my heart.
He was convinced that the way of the gentleman that Master was going to expound next was actually the supreme method of becoming an immortal, and only by understanding the mysteries of it could he be qualified to talk about cultivation.
How to defeat the Heavenly Dao and how to destroy the Heavenly Gods and Buddhas are all specially designed, not like a reckless man.
And before defeating the Heavenly Dao and breaking through one's own destiny, one needs to be patient and steady enough!
As for the shock of the brown bear monster, it is a simple two words.
“…… it! ”
It's amazing!
Originally, he just wanted to come to Master to learn some Divine Passage Method, but he never expected that Master's grand wish would actually overthrow the Heavenly Dao and destroy the Heavenly Gods and Buddhas.
Ahh Is it really something that a little monster like him can do?
He actually didn't want to deal with Heavenly Dao very much, it was too scary, he actually just wanted to become a true immortal and be a demon king of the mixed world.
But seeing the monkey brother next to him looking like he had been beaten with chicken blood, the brown bear monster couldn't help but shudder.
Exit now......
I'm going to be killed.
Licking his dry lips, the brown bear monster knew that he had entered the den of thieves, and there was no possibility of retreating.
Now there is only one option in front of him.
That is to cultivate the immortal path here, so that you have a chance to escape, this is the most "steady" way, the only way to escape.
Only when he cultivated to the point where he could compete with the Heavenly Dao could he retreat from the hands of these two fierce and vicious madmen.
Thinking of this, the brown bear monster suddenly had a clear mind and no worries.
"Almost......"
At this time, Zhou Xuancai nodded slightly.
He felt that the two monsters should be completely intimidated by his theory.
Only when one's own strength is strong enough to resist the Heavenly Dao can it be regarded as truly free, and one can do whatever he wants without worry!
But before it is strong enough to be so strong, there is only stability!
By telling the story of Journey to the West, let the monsters know the fate of the confrontation with the Heavenly Dao, and with the lessons of the past, they dare not make a mistake.
And when it comes to Journey to the West, if the Monkey King really seeks a steady method and seeks progress in the middle, it is actually impossible to fight against the Heavenly Dao and the Buddhist Sect and the Heavenly Court, at most it will be a struggle for a while.
After all, Monkey King is the person selected by the Journey to the West, and all kinds of calculations are arranged by you, even if you are a salted fish, just thinking about being a mountain king in Huaguo Mountain, Heavenly Court will also induce, provoke and even bewitch in various ways!
In any case, you will fight in heaven and become the key person to promote the calamity, and it is not something you can choose.
The way of heaven is irreversible.
That's the reality!
However, in this world, there are still two theories about whether there is a way of heaven, Zhou Xuan is just talking nonsense, taking the worldview of Journey to the West in the present, and the ghost knows if there are gods and Buddhas in this world, and saints of heaven.
Anyway, it's enough to set a big goal first and let the youkai work on it.
"Okay, now you calm down, and as a teacher, you should talk about the way of a gentleman and how to be a man.
Only by knowing how to behave, understanding what is the way of heaven and humanity, and knowing what is steady, can we have the opportunity to get to the next step.
It is necessary to know that none of the strongest people in heaven and earth are warmongers, and each of them is extremely steady, and every step they take will consider tens of thousands of possibilities that may occur in the future.
Even if you become strong, you are only a fledgling child in front of these calculating people. ”
Zhou Xuan took a deep breath and looked serious.
He's about to start teaching the way of a gentleman officially.
"As the so-called Tao is the mystery of all things, the treasure of the stable, and the protection of the unkind......
A gentleman has three precepts: the precept is in color; The Ring is in the fight; The precept is in ......
The gentleman has infinite magical powers, and he is about to ...... way"
The teachings are all excerpts from the Sutra of the Saints and the Tao Te Ching, and then slightly adapted.
As for how the two monsters comprehend, that's their own business.
It's one thing to be able to understand or not, but to be serious is to be absolutely serious anyway.
Actually, two youkai are better to teach than one.
After all, if you are alone, if you provoke thorns, Zhou Xuan is not easy to explain, but if it is two people, one of them picks thorns, and the other can also make up the rationality, so that he doesn't have to use his tongue to supplement the setting.
Before you know it, the sermon lasted all night.
Zhou Xuan was also a little tired, and waved his hand and said:
"The way of man is no less than the way of immortals, I can't finish it in one night, today's sermon is over, you two go to rest."
At this time, the moon and stars are scarce, and the night is thick, Zhou Xuan expected that it should be night, so he felt it and sighed: "The deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night!" ”
Seeing that the master had some understanding, the monkey suddenly remembered.
This is exactly what Master said in Kawagami before.
After the master said this, he triggered the vision of heaven and earth, all kinds of great road runes flashed, and the space was filled with dao qi.
It can be seen that this sentence must be a wise saying, containing infinite philosophy and the truth of being a human being in this world.
It's just that this sentence is obscure, and every word monkey can recognize, but he can't understand it when it is connected together.
The brown bear monster also heard it in a fog, in fact, this night, he only understood about 12/10, and he only felt that the master's reasoning was too profound.
The same is true of the last remark.
He turned his head and asked Wukong, "Brother Monkey, what is the truth of Master's last words?" ”
After all, the master said it, and he was ashamed to ask.
If you don't understand something, just ask your brother!
"Shhhh
Sun Wukong took a deep breath, his understanding was actually very average.
But after all, he was apprenticed one step ahead of the brown bear, and he was considered a senior brother, so he had to translate it word by word for the sake of his face.
"The full text of Master's words is: 'The son said on the river: The deceased is like a husband, and he is reluctant to give up day and night'.
Zi should refer to the meaning of 'I', that is, the Master himself.
The deceased should be a monster killed by the master.
It means that the Master said on the river, 'The youkai I killed went down the river and never stopped day and night!' ”
Faced with this translation, the brown bear monster was stunned.
Translated word by word, he finally understood the general meaning.
Master is too powerful, the corpse of a monster killed by one person can line up and go down the river.
It's scary!
"I see, I see!"
"That's the way to be a man!"
"I'm enlightened!"
Sun Wukong suddenly had a feeling of seeing the sun.
The reason why the master is so strong is precisely because he subdued the monsters one by one, and all those who were not subdued were killed and thrown into the river.
As the so-called actual combat is the only criterion for testing supernatural powers, combat can become stronger!
This is Master's way of cultivation.
Taking a deep breath, Sun Wukong felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth, this floating master turned out to be so powerful through constant fighting.
"Fight, I'm missing fight!"
Sun Wukong is extremely enthusiastic when he sees this sentence, and he can't wait to go out and kill two monsters now.
Only through fighting can he become stronger step by step.
But.
Master doesn't seem to have destroyed the corpse, isn't this contrary to the principle of prudence?
At this time, the brown bear monster also thought of something: "Brother Monkey, I know, the river that Master is talking about is not the big river we imagined, but the long river of time!" Only by throwing the dead corpse into the long river of time can the corpse be completely destroyed.
This is also the reason why Master can become stronger through actual combat and eliminate cause and effect. ”
"This ......"
The monkey's eyes widened as well.
He never expected that he would be able to explain it like this.
But then, everything makes sense!
"In this way, when Master says that I have three times a day, I mean that Master has to exercise my body three times a day to make my body strong and invincible."
If Master didn't have a strong body, how could he trigger such a terrifying celestial phenomenon?
The others just glanced at the vision summoned by the Master from afar, and their hearts trembled, let alone being in the center of the vision?
Having a strong physical body is the foundation of cultivation!
If Zhou Xuan was present and heard the monkey explain the Sage Sutra like this, he would definitely faint on the spot.
Monkey, that's how you understand it?
It is obviously a Confucian model, but it turns out to be understood by the monkey as a book of cultivation exercises!
The brown bear monster also came to his senses and cried out:
"The year is cold, and then I know that the pine and cypress will wither."
This sentence is a method of cultivation, and in the cold that will not melt for endless years, it will be frozen into an ice sculpture like a pine and cypress, and the body can be exercised by this method.
I didn't expect Master to use such a painful cultivation method, no wonder Master's temperament was so weak, he had even experienced such pain, what else was he afraid of. ”
Wukong was also not to be outdone, and continued to analyze: "Three hundred poems, in a word, thinking is innocent!" There are three hundred ways to cultivate the divine soul, but it can be summarized in one sentence, that is, the divine soul is pure and the thoughts are innocent.
And 'when you hear the road, you can die at night'.
This sentence says that morning is not the best time to cultivate, and conversely, the best time to cultivate is at night! ”
Wukong comprehended the Sage Sutra little by little, and his heart was like a mirror, which made him realize many truths.
What Master taught was not only the way to be a human being, but also the way to become an immortal.
Not only the cultivation time, cultivation location, but even the cultivation method are hidden in it.
I looked out the window, and it was the middle of the night.
It's no wonder that Master arranges cultural classes in the evening every time, because night is the best time to practice.
"Senior brother, it's time to cultivate." The brown bear monster said.
Wukong nodded, calming down.
At this time, his mind was pure, and there were no more distractions.
The next moment, he was settled!
In an instant, an extremely surging force merged into Sun Wukong's limbs and bones.
He was already a brilliant person, and he quickly mastered the way of cultivation.
Follow the cultivation path in the Sutra of the Saints.
After Sun Wukong settled, the aura in the Taixu Heaven turned into hot mana at this moment, and through the meridians of the whole body, it rushed towards the spiritual platform.
To become an immortal, mortals need to break through the four great realms.
Introduce qi into the body, refine qi and transform gods, refine gods against emptiness, and refine void and merge with the Tao.
But even the Refining Void Combination Dao in the four realms was just a mortal in the eyes of the immortals.
Only by crossing these four realms can we transcend the mundane and achieve an immortal body, so that we can be true immortals.
And at this moment, Wukong, who has entered the concentration, is constantly ascending.
It's almost an hour, a change.
Looking at the monkey's sudden epiphany, the brown bear monster was startled.
This is also too fast.
Xiong Ba didn't dare to slack off, but calmed down and began to concentrate on cultivation.
Soon he also entered the precipitation, and had a great understanding, and at the same time, his cultivation was also improving rapidly.
Finally, the first rays of sunlight shone on the two yokai in the early morning.
Rumble!
A thunderous sound exploded in Goku's mind, and countless mortal dirt seeped out from every inch of his body.
Dao Dao Immortal Yun spread from his body.
The clouds of calamity in the sky came as promised, condensing above the firmament.
All of them indicate one thing - Wukong is about to become an immortal!
