Chapter 2 Patriarch Subodhi
"Watching chess is rotten, logging Ding Ding, Xu Xing in the valley of the clouds, selling salaries and wine, laughing and self-indulgent. The autumn is high, and the pine roots of the moon pillow are bright. Recognize the old forest, climb the cliff and cross the ridge, and break the withered vine with an axe. Harvest into a load, in the song market, easy rice three liters. There is no competition, the price is mediocre, there will be no clever calculations, no honor and disgrace, and tranquility will prolong life. Where they meet, they are not immortals, and they sit quietly and talk about the Yellow Court. “
The song is long, it seems to be telling the principle of the Great Road, just a number, but everything in the world is included in it, and the monkey who heard the song is even more overjoyed, so that he dances with his hands, and he understands in his heart that this song should be the woodcutter taught by Patriarch Su Bodhi.
Speaking of the woodcutter, the monkey remembered all kinds of legends in the dream, that the woodcutter was a great power in the Three Realms, and he only came here to guide himself for the great cause of Buddhism.
This sounds a little crooked, but when the monkey thinks about it, even if he is deeply concerned about the hope of the revival of Buddhism, can he find a big guy to teach, and even make a big guy to guide people, why bother?
Regardless of these for the time being, the monkey at this moment is full of the ability to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, what kind of seventy-two changes, somersault clouds, and even the great heavenly immortal duel that hides the essence and the gods.
So the monkey went round a few old trees, and in the depths he saw a woodcutter, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his coarse cloth coat was full of sweat stains and dust falling from the trees, and a pair of straw sandals on his feet even showed his toes, and he was cutting down trees with the broken axe in his hand.
"Old immortal, old immortal, disciple has started." The monkey rushed to the woodcutter and bowed down, regardless of whether he was really powerful or not, anyway, he was the leader on the road to his own immortality, and he would not suffer a loss if he bowed.
When the woodcutter heard a voice behind him, he turned around and waved his hand again and again: "I can't be a layman, I'm just a layman woodcutter in the mountains, how dare I be called a fairy." ”
The monkey said, "If you are not a fairy, how can you say the words of a fairy?" ”
The woodcutter said: "You monkey is laughing, I am just a layman, what can I say about the gods?" ”
The monkey said: "I just came to the edge of the forest, and I heard you say: 'Where we meet, we are not immortals, and we sit quietly and talk about "Huang Ting". 'You know, "Yellow Court" is a moral mantra, not a god? ”
The woodcutter listened to the lecture and said with a smile: "I won't tell you the truth, the name of this word is "Man Tingfang", and it was taught to me by a fairy. That fairy is next to my house. He saw my hard work in the house, daily troubles, and taught me to read these words when I encountered troubles, one to distract my heart, and the other to solve difficulties, I just had some troubles, so I read it like this, and I didn't expect to be listened to by you. ”
The monkey said, "Since your home is adjacent to the immortals, why don't you practice from him?" Wouldn't it be good to learn the art of immortality? ”
The woodcutter said: "My life is hard, I was raised by my parents until I was eight or nine years old, and I didn't know what to do, unfortunately my father was lost, and my mother was widowed. There are no more brothers and sisters, just me, I have no choice but to serve in the morning and evening. Now that the mother is old, she doesn't dare to leave. However, the countryside was barren and there was not enough food and clothing, so he had to cut two bundles of firewood, pick up a few pennies between the markets, buy a few liters of rice, cook his own food, arrange some tea and rice, and provide for his old mother, so he could not practice. ”
The monkey nodded and said, "In this way, you are a gentleman who practices filial piety, and it will be beneficial to you in the future." But I hope you will point me to the abode of the gods, but I will visit it. ”
The woodcutter said, "Not far, not far." This mountain is called Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, there is a three-star cave of the oblique moon in the mountain, there is a god in the hole, called the ancestor of Su Bodhi. There are countless disciples of the patriarch who went out, and among them there are also people with abnormal appearances like you, and there are still thirty or forty people who have practiced from him. You follow that path, and go seven or eight miles south, and you will be his house. ”
The monkey took the woodcutter by the hand and said, "Brother, go with me, and if you have any benefit, you will never forget your guidance." ”
The woodcutter said, "You monkey, you are very inflexible. I just told you like this, and you're still unconscious? And if I went with you, and did not miss my business? Who is the old mother? I'm going to chop wood, you go, go by yourself. ”
When the monkey heard him say this, he arched his hand, thanking him for the guidance, and then followed the path pointed out by the woodcutter, climbed over a mountain, walked about seven or eight miles, and finally saw a cave.
The cave house is full of thousands of qi, the trees are lush, it looks like a good place, the front of the door is empty and lonely, but also in line with the seclusion of the fairy family, the gate is written with ten big characters "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, oblique moon three-star cave." ”
The moment the monkey saw these ten words, he knew that he had come to the right place, and then he felt that he could live forever, and he immediately danced with joy.
The monkey was about to knock on the door, but he felt that this was offending the gods, and he hesitated slightly.
"Zhilara~"
A heavy voice sounded, the bluestone gate slowly opened as if it had been pulled by something, and the place where the door of the cave opened, came out of a fairy, although the age was not big, but the face was delicate, with a trace of fairy energy, which was different from ordinary people.
The boy came out of the door, looked around, and then set his eyes on the monkey-like creature, and cried out, "Who is this bother?" ”
The monkey hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Fairy Child, I'm just a disciple of a visiting Taoist immortal, but I don't dare to disturb here." ”
Xiantong smiled: "Are you a Taoist?" ”
The monkey replied, "Yes." ”
The boy said, "Just now, my master had just come down to the altar to preach, and before he could say why, he taught me to come out and open the door, saying, 'There is a cultivator from outside, please go and receive you.'" 'It must be you?' ”
When the monkey heard this, he secretly praised the patriarch for his true skills, and then smiled and pandered: "It's me, it's me." ”
The boy said, "You come in with me." ”
When the monkey heard this, he was busy dressing up, and followed the boy into the depths of the cave to watch: layer by layer of deep pavilion Qionglou, as soon as he entered the Pearl Palace, he couldn't say that the quiet room was secluded. Until the bottom of the Yaotai, I saw that the Bodhi Patriarch Bao Xiangzhuang was serious, and there seemed to be thousands of rays of light flickering on his body, and at a glance, he knew that he was a virtuous and respected immortal, and there were thirty small immortals standing under the stage on both sides of him.
As soon as the monkey saw the solemn patriarch with the white beard, he knew that he had achieved his purpose, and he bowed down and kowtowed countless times, and only said, "Master, Master!" My disciple is determined to salute, and his ambition is to salute! ”
The patriarch said: "Which Fang clan are you?" Let's say that the name of the village is clear, and then say goodbye. ”
The monkey replied: "The disciple is Dongsheng Shenzhou Aolai Guohua Guoshan Water Curtain Cave Clan. ”
When the patriarch heard this, he immediately blew his beard and glared, and shouted, "Get out!" He was originally a deceitful and mischief, what kind of Dao fruit is he here to cultivate! ”
When the monkey heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The disciple is honest, and there is no deceit. ”
The patriarch said: "Since you are honest, how can you say that Dongsheng Shenzhou?" Where to go to me, separated by two major seas, a southern Ganbu continent, how did I get this? ”
The monkey kowtowed and said, "The disciple has traveled across the ocean and traveled to the realm, and it has been more than ten years before he has visited here. ”
The patriarch said: "Since it is gradual, I will believe you for the time being, and I will ask you, what is your monkey surname?" ”
The monkey knew that his name was coming, so he simply replied according to the record in the dream: "I am sexless." If someone scolds me, I won't be annoyed, and if they beat me, I won't be angry, just a courtesy, and I have no sex all my life. ”
The patriarch said, "It's not this sex. What were your parents' original last names? ”
The monkey arched his hand and said, "I have no parents either." ”
The patriarch said, "I don't have parents, I want to be born on a tree?" ”
The monkey said, "I am not born of a tree, but I am also born of a stone." I only remember that there is a fairy stone on Huaguo Mountain, and when the stone is broken, I will be born. ”
The patriarch was secretly happy when he heard this, his face was still calm, and he said: "In this way, it is a heaven and earth generation, you get up and take a walk, I will see." ”
The monkey jumped up, hunched over, and walked around twice.
The patriarch smiled: "Although your body is ugly, you are like a pine-cone eater. I'll take a surname with you here, which means to teach you the surname 'Qian'. The word went to a beast, but it was an ancient moon. The ancients are old, and the moon is yin. Lao Yin can't be cultivated, which is not conducive to cultivating the Tao and cultivating the mind, so it's good to teach your surname 'Tan'. The word Tanuki went to the side of the beast, but it was a subline. The son is also a child, and the child is a baby, which is in line with the essence of the baby, and teaches you to have the surname 'Sun'. ”
When the monkey heard this, his heart suddenly became clear, and he was full of joy, and he kowtowed upwards and said, "Good, good, good!" Today's disciples also have surnames. I also hope that the master will be merciful, since he has a surname, he will give the disciple a name, but it is easy to call. ”
The patriarch said: "There are twelve characters in my door, and they are assigned to be named, until you are a junior disciple of the tenth generation." ”
The monkey asked, "Those twelve words?" ”
The patriarch said: "These twelve words are 'the vast wisdom is really like the sea of sex and the enlightenment', and when it comes to you, it happens to be a 'enlightenment' word, so I will give you a legal name called 'Sun Wukong', do you think it's good?" ”
When the monkey saw that everything corresponded to the dream, he danced again and said with a smile: "Good, good, good!" From today onwards, I also have a name, my name is Monkey King! ”
Patriarch Su Bodhi touched his beard, suppressed the smile on his face, and said to the Taoist boy next to him: "Guangming, you take your junior brother to settle down, and let him come here to listen to the Tao and learn the Fa from tomorrow." ”
The round-faced Dao Tong next to him made a mockery and responded, "Yes." ”
