"I look at the four continents, all living beings are good and evil, and all parties are different: those who win the Divine Continent in the east respect heaven and earth, and their hearts are refreshed and peaceful; Those who are in the north of Luzhou, although they are good at killing, are only because they make a living, they are clumsy and sparse, and they do not practice much; I am a person in the West Niu Hezhou, not greedy or killed, nourishing qi and latent spirits, although there is no supreme truth, everyone has a long life; But those who are in the south of the province are greedy and lustful, killing and fighting, and the so-called murderous field of tongue and tongue is the sea of right and wrong. ”

Every time she reads this, Xue Tianqing's contempt for Wu Chengen will always rise in her heart.

Is his description of Xiniuhe Prefecture and Nanbu Prefecture reversed? Tang Seng went west out of Chang'an until the Two Realms Mountain and did not encounter danger, but out of the Tang Dynasty, he was a demon all the way!

Most of the demons and monsters are in Xiniu Hezhou, how can such a place become a place where you are not greedy or killed, and you can nourish your qi and hidden spirits?

Whether it is a novel or a TV series, I have watched it many times on a sunny day.

When I was a child, I watched TV series, and the picture was a lively one.

When she grew up, she began to read novels, and Xue Tianqing realized that there was a big gap between the real "Journey to the West" and the TV series.

As she grows older and her outlook on life changes, some of the settings in the novel make Xue Tianqing feel that the meaning is quite profound.

Whether it is the Heavenly Court or the Jade Emperor, they are all Taoist inheritances.

But Tang monk Sun Wukong is a disciple of Buddhism, especially Sun Wukong, who became a Taoist, but finally entered Buddhism.

What's even more interesting is that although those demons are all in Xiniu Hezhou, more than ninety percent of them are inextricably linked with Taoism.

Although the whole novel cannot be said to be a struggle between Buddhism and Taoism, it is somewhat interesting.

If you come to the evaluation of the four continents, the diametrically opposed descriptions of the demons from the two continents in the novel make people feel that they have a certain deep meaning.

It's a pity that Wu Chengen has been dead for hundreds of years, and no one knows what his purpose in writing "Journey to the West" is.

Although many modern scholars have studied "Journey to the West" deeply, no one knows whether those conclusions are right or wrong, because this is originally a proposition with no answer.

Today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and Xue Tianqing, who can't return home for various reasons, feels a little lonely.

The sound of firecrackers on the street was endless, and Xue Tianqing stretched his waist and walked to the window to watch the fireworks go off.

Xue Tianqing opened the window and looked at a group of children not far away, dressed in new clothes, who were setting off fireworks.

Just as Xue Tianqing was looking at him in a daze, a large fireworks that was being set off on the other side of the street suddenly tilted because it was not fixed, and then a huge fireworks bomb hit him.

Because the windows were wide open, the fireworks bombs were not hindered in any way, and they rushed straight towards the snowy sky.

The speed of the fireworks was too fast, and when Xue Tianqing realized that something was wrong, it was too late to dodge.

With a blinding light and a deafening loud noise, his eyes went black and he fainted.

The person who set off the fireworks knew that he had caused a big disaster, and immediately found Xuetianqing's room, and then kicked the door open.

Looking at the empty room, the troubled guy was confused, and he obviously saw a person standing in front of the window, why did he disappear?

I don't know how long it took, Xue Tianqing finally opened his eyes, and he sat up suddenly: What kind of place is this?

At this time, the snow is clear and you are in the middle of the mountains, surrounded by green trees and grass.

From time to time, white mist drifts through the forest, and the sound of birdsong is endless.

Although the environment is quiet, Xue Tianqing is confused: how did he run into the mountains?

Because he was in the room before the accident, not to mention his mobile phone, he didn't even wear a coat, so now Xue Tianqing can be said to have nothing to lose.

Without communication tools, it is impossible to communicate with the outside world, and the only way to find out what is happening is to find out what is happening.

Fortunately, on a sunny day, I was nimble and could climb a big tree without much effort.

Looking at the boundless green ocean, Xue Tianqing's heart sank to the bottom: what happened and where was he?

Fortunately, there is no endless road, and in the distance, a path flickers in the forest.

Xue Tianqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this: where there is a road, there are people, and there are people.

More than half an hour later, standing on the unusually quiet mountain path, Xue Tianqing's brows twisted into pimples.

What is this place? Why are you here? It's winter, so why is it so much summer?

When he first woke up, Xue Tianqing's mind was still a little foggy, but along the way, he found more and more things wrong.

When he was stunned, a voice sounded from not far away: "Since you are here, why don't you go up the mountain?" ”

Xue Tianqing looked up when she heard this, and saw a famous Taoist boy standing on the road not far away, looking at her curiously.

That's right, it's a Taoist boy, not much different from what he played in the TV series.

The appearance of Dao Tong surprised Xue Tianqing: when did he come? There was no one on the road just now!

Xue Tianqing first blinked, then pointed to his nose and said, "Little brother, are you talking to me?" ”

Dao Tong looked arrogant: "There is no one else in a radius of dozens of miles except you, if you don't tell you, who will you talk to?" You are the person who learned the Tao as the patriarch said, why don't you think it is too similar? ”

Xue Tianqing was puzzled: "Acupoint? What acupuncture? ”

Dao Tong did not answer Xue Tianqing's question, but urged: "Come with me to visit the patriarch, if you have something to ask him, the old man is." ”

Seeing that Xue Tianqing had no intention of moving, Dao Tong continued: "It's up to you whether you follow or not, but there are wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in the mountains, if they kill you, you can't complain about others in front of Yama." ”

Seeing that Dao Tong turned around and walked up the mountain, Xue Tianqing didn't dare to slack off, if he really let the tiger eat it, how could it be reasonable?!

Dao Tong suddenly appeared, and his face was not red and his heart was not beating, which made Xue Tianqing think that the destination would not be too far, but whoever wanted to leave would be two hours.

It wasn't until his legs began to tremble that he saw a cave at the end of the path.

Originally natural, the cave was later renovated and separated from the outside world by a closed stone gate.

There are sub-stone carved couplets on both sides of the cave door, five words up and down: Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, oblique moon three-star cave!

There are four big characters above: Bodhi Immortal Mansion!

After staring at the couplet a few times, Xue Tianqing became more and more puzzled: these two sentences are so familiar.

Suddenly, he remembered where he had seen it - "Journey to the West"!

That's right! Su Bodhi Patriarch's Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, the three-star cave of the oblique moon!

Just now, Dao Tong said that he would let him follow him to meet the patriarch, which patriarch? Could it be the Bodhi Ancestor?

How could it be, that's too!

Seeing Dao Tong urging him to enter the cave, Xue Tianqing rolled his eyes: "Little brother, which immortal chief's cave is this?" ”

Dao Tong had disdain on his face: "Everyone in the world is alive and dead, and it is not strange that there are immortals in the mountains." But since you have come to learn the Tao sincerely, why don't you know which immortal chief's cave is in the three-star cave of the slanting moon? ”

Xue Tianqing said tentatively: "Is it the cave of the Bodhi Patriarch?" ”

"Got it and asked? Come with me to see the patriarch, don't let his old man wait in a hurry. ”

Xue Tianqing became more and more confused: "Little brother, you and your ancestor are mistaken, I am not a learner." ”

"The ancestor has known for 500 years and 500 years, how can he miscalculate the heavens! Do you really think that his old man will take apprentices casually! Dao Tong was obviously a little angry at Xue Tianqing's words.

Xue Tianqing secretly slandered himself when he heard this: I know five hundred years, and I still know billions of years!

But what's going on now? Did you join the whole crew of the TV station?

Seeing that the snow was sunny and did not move or make a sound, Dao Tong finally lost his patience: "Why are you so mother-in-law?" Come with me to meet the Patriarch! With that, he stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.

It's shabby, isn't it? Is the crew reluctant to spend any funds at all? This was the first thought that came to Xue Tianqing after seeing the scene inside the cave.

The cave was almost empty, except for the few candles lit on the wall, and there were no tables or chairs for people to rest.

Seeing that Daotong wanted to stretch out his hand to pull himself, Xue Tianqing hurriedly said: "The man can't accept the kiss, I'll go by myself, but can you tell me where this is?" ”

Dao Tong became more and more impatient: "Of course it's Bodhi Cave!" Hurry up and go. ”

After speaking, Dao Tong grabbed Xue Tianqing's wrist like lightning, and almost dragged him towards the depths of the cave.

Although Xue Tianqing wanted to break free, Daotong's hands were like iron tongs, and no matter how hard he tried, it was useless.

Xue Tianqing struggled all the way, Dao Tong dragged all the way, and the two soon came to the innermost part of the cave.

Seeing that the Taoist boy went straight to the stone wall, Xue Tianqing was shocked: Did he run into a madman?

Seeing that he was about to hit the wall, Xue Tianqing suddenly felt a flash of white light, and then subconsciously closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find that the two of them were no longer in a cave, but in a square.

The square is paved with marble, and in addition to various exquisite stone carvings, there are dozens of flower beds, which are full of flowers, and the fragrance of the nose comes from time to time.

In front of the square is a mountain peak, although it is not high but the clouds are shrouded, there are not only strange flowers and plants on the mountain, but also animals and birds flash, looking at it from afar, it is like a fairyland.

In front of the two, on the other side of the square, a white marble staircase leads to the top of the mountain.

On either side of the staircase, dozens of terraces cascade up the hill from low to high, each with a few houses around it.

At the end of the stairs, on the top of the mountain, an unusually majestic hall sits, which looks particularly solemn.

Dao Tong let go of Xue Tianqing's hand and said, "This is the Bodhi Immortal Mansion, the place where the ancestor practiced. ”

Xue Tianqing swallowed, then turned her head to look back, and found that the cave just now was gone, replaced by a clear blue sky.

He and Daotong were standing at the edge of the square, white clouds drifting behind them from time to time, and through the clouds, you could vaguely see the endless earth.

"The Bodhi Immortal Mansion is suspended in mid-air?"

"Of course it's in the air, is it still in the turbid red dust?"

Li Jian Void touched it, and then said, "What about the cave just now?" ”

Dao Tong said: "That is the gateway to the Immortal Mansion. ”

Seeing that Xue Tianqing was a little stupid, Dao Tong urged: "Hurry up and follow me to visit the patriarch, the lunch class time is approaching, and it will be delayed if it is too late." ”

Xue Tianqing pointed behind her: "I don't even have a railing, what should I do if I accidentally fall down?" ”

Dao Tong stretched out his hand and pushed Xue Tianqing: "Don't rub it, the ancestor is waiting." ”

Before crossing the square to the steps, Xue Tianqing raised her legs and was about to take a step, but she didn't want to be stopped by the Taoist boy.

Dao Tong looked at the snow again, and then shook his head: "The dress is not only weird, but also sloppy, how can you meet the ancestor like this?" With that, he waved at him.

By the time Xue Tianqing reacted, he already had an extra robe on his body.

Touching the robe made of coarse cloth, Xue Tianqing was shocked: What is the situation?
