Chapter 100 Telling the Truth
Haotian asked in confusion: "This is not like Huaguo Mountain, I heard that Huaguo Mountain is a place facing the sea, not an island?"
"Of course not, Huaguo Mountain is another hometown after I became a stone monkey, and it is also my territory. I guess the eldest brother must be familiar with the legend that I was trapped by Rulai and pressed the Five Elements Mountain, escorted Tang Seng to learn scriptures, subdued demons and monsters all the way, fought against Liu'er, and finally became a fighting Buddha!" said the fourth with a smile.
Haotian nodded and asked puzzledly, "Yes, is there something wrong?"
"A qiē is far from real. If this world is so beautiful, how can you and my brother suffer like this?" said the fourth child with a wry smile.
Huo Sheng'er was a little anxious again, and urged: "Hurry up, keep talking!"
"I was pressed by Rulai under the Five Elements Mountain, for five hundred years, and that Rulai's heart was black enough, when I was thirsty, I drank copper juice, what is copper juice? It burned copper, turned it into copper water, and poured it into my throat, how high do you think the temperature was? What kind of person's stomach can afford to burn this thing? Fortunately, thanks to the elixir of Taishang Laojun, I am already 'a brick-built throat and an iron-beaten belly'. At the foot of that mountain, it is very desolate, you think, a five-fingered mountain fell from the sky out of thin air, and no one within a few hundred miles could be shocked to death, and no one would see it anyway! He was afraid that the gods who guarded him would be too kind to me, and he often assigned people to change into woodcutters and farmers to observe, and fool the ghosts, and he made a thousand miles of red land. Where's the crowd?"
"At first, I couldn't figure it out, where did I get such a big hatred for me, at best, I just sprinkled a bubble of urine in his palm, didn't he wash his hands, and it ended? Isn't it the Buddha's leniency? Besides, he can't complain about me, he first proposed to gamble with me, and during the gamble, he also played yin, and made a trick to deceive me! But is it just a trick in his sleeve, to put it bluntly, he tricked me into the palm of his hand! Isn't he above board?"
Haotian thought about it, yes, isn't it? It seems that this is not much better back then. This kind of little trick, if he runs into me today, he will be ugly.
"Later I thought, he hated me so much. Maybe it has something to do with my master. Patriarch Subodhi. Is it a brother with him, after they had an awkward quarrel, my master took me as an apprentice. After teaching me the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Somersault Cloud and the Earth Shatter, he never showed up again. When he drove me away, his words broke my heart and hurt my heart, and the patriarch said, 'If you go here, you will have a bad life, and you will not be said to be my apprentice because of how you cause trouble and commit murder.' If you say half a word, I will know it, peel your skin and file your bones, reduce your soul to the Nine Shadows, and teach you not to turn over in ten thousand calamities!'
"I was heartbroken, but I was dazed, and it wasn't until I was trapped at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, drinking the copper juice of the scalding people, and doing nothing all day long, that I slowly came back to my senses. Rulai once said: 'I am not greedy or killing, nourishing qi and latent spirits, although there is no supreme truth, everyone will live a long life'. And at this time, Patriarch Bodhi was preaching to us in the three-star cave of the slanting moon in Fangcun Mountain, Lingtai in Xiniu Hezhou, which shows that Rulai does not know where my master is. ”
"If the mana is vast, he once claimed to be able to know the things of Zhou Tian and the things of Zhou Tian, so how could Patriarch Bodhi hide from his Dharma eyes? There are only two possibilities: one is that he and Rulai have formed a bond, if he can't tolerate him, he wants to do harm, he has to hide invisibly, Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, the three-star cave of the oblique moon is a boundary set up by him, so Rulai can't be perceived; To put it more clearly, I was a pawn chosen by his old man. ”
"If you come to me, you must have discovered that my kung fu is in the same vein as Patriarch Su Bodhi, and he is from the same family, and he can't find my master, so he sprinkled all his evil anger on me. That's exactly what I thought at the time. ”
Huo Sheng'er nodded and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense!"
"There is also an unknown secret to the place where he trapped me in the Five Elements Mountain, that is, it can slowly absorb my internal force, I can feel it every day, my internal force is sucked out, although it is a little unaware, very slowly, but if it goes on like this, won't I become a waste? Fortunately, I found out in time and closed the acupoint, but my skill still decreased a lot, which is also one of the reasons why my skill has decreased on the way to learn the scriptures later. ”
"I have to live, so I promised Guanyin, promised him to protect Tang monk Xitian to learn scriptures, in fact, I know very well in my heart that this qiē is just a play designed by Rulai, in order to erode the territory of Taoism, for propaganda considerations, it is a tragic bridge, hindsight, the wide spread of this story of learning scriptures, has played a huge role in promoting the spread of Buddhism, it is really clever. ”
"I didn't understand at the time, there are countless gods in the world, I don't know why Guanyin chose me?"
"Is there anything strange about this?" Haotian asked.
"It wasn't until I came to this island that I realized that this qiē was no accident. That Rulai is really smart, and every qiē has to fake the hands of others. I was in a daze, I was put on a golden hoop, from then on, Tang Seng a weak mortal, can control me, that thing is for Guanyin, naturally I can't escape his control. The golden hoop is actually a clever formation, and from then on, my whereabouts are all under the control of Rulai, and I dare not exceed the rules in the slightest. ”
"I don't know if you have noticed that the believers of Buddhism, compared with the people who cultivate the Tao, seem to be particularly pious? The disciples of Taoism are loose in structure, and they pay relative attention to the cultivation of the individual's mind and body, while the Buddhists have obvious characteristics of clustering. Once you're on this island, look back on the long experience. After thinking about it repeatedly, I finally figured out that the Buddha name that Buddhists praise every day may have been secretly manipulated by Rulai, and there have been many subtle changes from what the Buddha lit and the ancient Buddha advocated in the past. Once you start shouting, you will gradually become religious, fanatical, and obsessed with it. Some believers shout tens of thousands of times a day. It's already selfless, and illusions are everywhere. ”
Haotian nodded, the wide spread of Buddhist teachings does make people feel a huge spiritual appeal. The fourth said. Maybe there's some truth to that.
"I've been wearing that golden hoop ever since. After Tang Seng recited the mantra, he took root in the flesh, and from that moment on. I felt that my mentality changed dramatically in an instant, becoming clear and empty, and gradually began to become enthusiastic about learning scriptures, and began to gradually become pious and fanatical about Buddhism. If at the beginning I pretended to be positive because I was afraid, then later on, I did spontaneously enthusiast. This qiē is all given by the golden hoop: physical imprisonment, spiritual bewitchment. These are all things that I only figured out after I came to my senses. Rulai's attainments in miniature formations and spells are already incredible. ”
Huo Sheng'er said: "I have always had a question in my heart, where did the mantras in the world come from? Just a few simple words, or a combination of some pronunciations, why is there such a huge power? Who invented it? This person is really invincible!"
When Haotian heard this, his heart was shocked, yes, if the opponent is the one who has realized the mystery of the spell, wouldn't it be too terrifying?
The fourth said: "The question of the second brother, I have never thought about it, but if you think about it carefully, it is indeed amazing!"
Haotian saw that the fourth child stopped talking, so he said with a smile: "Unheard of." Go on!"
The fourth nodded and continued: "No matter how fanatical I am, there is a bottom line in my heart from beginning to end, that is, I must not leak the breath of my ancient dragon clan. But I later learned that this qiē was all in vain. ”
Haotian's heart moved, Huo Sheng'er's eyes widened, he leaned forward and asked, "How do you say it?"
The fourth child smiled and said to Haotian: "Big brother, you haven't fully woken up yet, and there have been no characteristic changes in our ancient dragon clan. ”
Haotian asked puzzledly, "Characteristic changes?"
Lao Si said: "I also came to this island later, and accidentally saw the reflection in the water, and I looked at myself carefully before I stumbled upon it." ”
Huo Sheng'er asked, "What did you find?"
"Have you ever seen a Persian cat, the Persian cat is different from other cats, and one of the distinctive features is that the pupils in its eyes are erect. ”
Haotian thought about it, it was really like this, and nodded.
"Our elder dragon brother, once he awakens, his pupils will become like that. Do you see if the second brother's pupils are flat and upright?"
Haotian looked at it, and sure enough, he said: "I usually just think that the second child's eyes are a little strange, but I really didn't find out that it was like this!"
"So, I thought I would hide everything I could and wouldn't be discovered, but in fact, I guess people have already seen the fire. Bodhi Ancestor can understand my identity, let alone come to me. The fourth sighed, and then continued:
"The six-eared macaque pretended to be me and beat Tang Seng, and I was confused at first, where did this guy come from? There are different opinions about this in the world, one says that the six-eared macaque is born from the evil thoughts in my heart, that is, the evil me, and then the good and evil fight, and I am beaten to death with a stick for the good. Another saying is that the six ears refer to the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. In the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, it is said that "there is no color in the air, no thoughts, no thoughts, no knowledge, no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, no color, sound, fragrance, touch, ...... Dharma." If you destroy the six ears, you will break the six roots, and you will have the basic elements of becoming a Buddha. I really admire the imagination of the world, but sadly, that's not true. ”
The more Haotian and Huo Sheng'er listened, the more fascinated they became, and Huo Sheng'er asked impatiently, "What is the truth?"
"The six-eared macaque is indeed a man. Do you think, if I have the ability to conjure up a person with the same skills as me, then I will transform him into a Monkey King, who can fight against him? The six-eared macaque is arranged as such, do you think, who in this world can make a second golden hoop that is exactly the same? Who can teach the six-eared macaque the same skills as me? It can't be my master, right?"
"But at that time, I didn't realize it, until I fought with the six-eared macaque to the main hall of Vulture Mountain, in front of all the Bodhisattvas and King Kong, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart, and I saw a glimpse of the yin owl in Rulai's eyes, and I immediately found that this look was similar to the look of the blue-clothed scholar when he killed me!"
Haotian was startled and exclaimed, "If you are a scholar in blue?" he shook his head slightly, obviously in disbelief.
The fourth child continued: "I suddenly thought that if Rulai was a blue-clothed scholar, if he knew the identity of my ancient dragon, he would have wanted to find an opportunity to destroy me! But he also wanted to show no traces, so he had to come up with a wonderful method and make a six-eared macaque to impersonate me and fight against me, because Heavenly Court, Guanyin, Tang monks and apprentices, and all the Bodhisattvas King Kong could not distinguish between them, and although the truth in hell was discovered, he did not dare to say it clearly, what was he afraid of? Jizo Bodhisattva is the first of the four bodhisattvas, and he is still sure of dealing with me, maybe he knows that it is clearly the hands and feet of Rulai, so he shirks it. ”
"I saw that Rulai was about to kill me, so I turned into a bee, intending to escape, but was caught by Rulai with a bowl, fortunately just when I was just caught by the bowl, the bowl has not yet landed, and the whole body will be imprisoned, I dropped a hair, left under the bowl, and the hairs were instantly turned into the appearance of a six-eared macaque by him, and was hit by a real six-eared macaque with a stick, and my life whined, turned into powder! Just behind me, a yin wind is strong and incomparable, trailing, if you don't escape quickly, if you come in front of all the Bodhisattva Vajra, you don't want to reveal the truth, it's inconvenient to chase after me, I'm afraid you won't see me today!"
Haotian and Huo Sheng'er breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's so dangerous! It turns out that the Fighting Buddha is an impostor!"
"Then I went to the ends of the earth, hid everywhere, and finally settled on this little island, where I spent a long lonely time alone, and then went out to find these children and grandchildren, and lived here with it. I never dreamed that my two brothers fell from the sky today, and my day should have changed, right?" Sun Wukong's eyes were full of anticipation.
Haotian nodded, a deep groan in his heart, listening to what the fourth child said, he didn't have a complete confidence to prove that he was a scholar in blue, which was really a bit unbelievable. In addition, the reason why Rulai killed him may only be related to the fact that he is the disciple of Bodhi Ancestor, or maybe he feels that Wukong will be a trouble in the future? Haotian was unable to make a decision in his heart for a while, so he simply didn't want to.
He introduced the situation of several other brothers and sisters to Sun Wukong, and heard Sun Wukong do somersaults and dance with his hands. Haotian and Huo Sheng'er taught him the secret skills of stealth and mind reading. He also informed Wukong of the original purpose of this trip, and then said:
"I want to rescue Wuzhiqi first, and then go to Wuzhuang Temple, I don't know what you think?"
Wukong said: "It stands to reason that we should rescue Wuzhiqi first, but the garrison situation there is unknown, so we should investigate it first, and then formulate a strategy, so as not to startle the grass and snakes, and cause branches!"
Haotian pondered for a moment and said, "It's just that in this way, the seventh brother will have to suffer a little more." ”
Huo Sheng'er suddenly had an idea, and said: "I have an idea, but let Zilong find out the situation first, as an ancestral dragon, the king of ten thousand scales, the water tribe in the world is not subject to his control, it is estimated that it will be very convenient." ”
When Haotian heard this, he immediately contacted Lao Ba Zilong with his mind-reading technique, and Zulong was naturally excited, and he agreed to it, and burst into tears in the Gouchen Palace.
The three of them walked out of the small water curtain cave, just as Hou Yi and the Eagle Vulture King came over, Haotian introduced several people to each other, and several people were like thunder to each other, and they hated each other. Haotian also told Sun Wukong to hide his figure and not to show up. Goku nodded repeatedly. A few people flew away and went straight to the direction of Wuzhuang Temple.
