Chapter 55: Astray

The wind was blowing gently, caressing the green trees in the courtyard.

The sun shone on the stone chairs, leaving a shadow.

The small temple is so quiet that the sound of the beetle flapping its wings in the hands of the middle-aged Taoist priest can be heard clearly.

In the main hall, the monkey, Xuanye and Baishuang stayed quietly, three people, facing two cups of white smoke.

Time just ticked by.

After a long time, Xuan Ye said in a low voice: "Listen to them, you have a name now, called Sun Wukong?"

The monkey nodded, reached for the teacup, and took a sip.

"I also wanted to give you a name, I want to call you Xingzhi, Sun Xingzhi. I want you to accompany you as a teacher to walk the world, experience the sufferings of all beings, understand Buddhism, and seek the way of Pudu. As a result, it was found to have the same name as the Taoist one-pulse exercise. For fear of misleading you, I didn't take it. In fact, I asked Patriarch Subodhi for the teacher to teach you the path of enlightenment, not the path of practitioners. ”

The monkey quietly raised his head and glanced at Xuanye, his brows frowning slightly, as if he didn't understand.

Xuan Ye said in a low voice: "However, you chose the Walker Dao after all. Actually, the Taoist enlightened Tao is more suitable for you. ”

"But my qualifications are cultivators, and the Tao is more suitable. The monkey emphasized.

"Just because it's good doesn't mean it's good. Xuanye said softly.

When the monkey said this, he just pouted, and did not refute, lowering his head and sipping tea one after another. The eyes were rolling, obviously not wanting to talk about this topic.

The white frost on the other side blinked, and his eyes kept going back and forth between the two of them.

Helpless, Xuanye had no choice but to say: "As a teacher, I feel that whether it is cultivating Buddha or cultivating immortals, it is all benefiting from heaven and earth, and there should be a heart to feed." Those who seek Buddha should take the purification of sentient beings as their own responsibility, and those who seek immortals should use the Three Realms to introspect themselves. ”

"Master. Before Xuan Ye could finish speaking, the monkey interjected: "What about this, I think we should not worry about it for now, okay? If I walk out of Wanshou Mountain, my life will be lost, do you understand? So, the walker path that can fight is what I need now." ”

As he spoke, the monkey shook his fist in front of Genye's eyes.

"Live first, then say something else. When I'm strong, what's the matter, don't I have the final say?"

"Force does not solve everything. Xuan Ye argued.

"But force can solve the vast majority of problems. Didn't I run here because I couldn't beat the crocodile spirit? If I were a big demon, I could be as free as a hydra. As he spoke, the monkey suddenly realized that something was wrong, and quickly changed his words: "I mean...... I mean, as long as I don't mess around like the hydra, I'm fine. When the time comes, how do you want to give back, but not anytime and anywhere?"

"But ......"

Genba wanted to say something, but the monkey didn't want to hear it anymore. got up and bowed his hand respectfully, and said, "Master, although I have changed the sect, I still call you master." Your love, your will, I understand. This kindness is also in my heart, but ...... You're just a child, and there are so many things you don't understand, and these are not things that you can read in Buddhist scriptures. ”

"Do you know what a monster is? Do you know what a demon king is? Do you know how Heavenly Court and demons fight?"

As he spoke, the monkey lowered his head, pointed to his ankle and said, "Blood, flood me." Do you know what it's like to step on flesh and blood? Life really isn't worth much. Today, the demon army of a few thousand people was sent out and died, and tomorrow there will be thousands of others to take their place. The rain of arrows from the heavenly soldiers fell, snapping, and the monsters around me fell to the ground like wheat. The same is true for the demon army fighting the heavenly soldiers. If I have cultivation and can fight, I will be the one who harvests wheat. If I don't cultivate, I can't fight, and I'm the one who was harvested. What do you want to learn? ”

As he spoke, the monkey spread his hands and said, "Master thinks, which side should the disciple choose to stand on?"

Genba blinked and stared blankly at the monkey.

......

At dusk, Xuan Ye sent the monkey and the white frost out of the door, looking at their distant figures with a look of loss.

The middle-aged Taoist priest shrunk his head and walked up to him, looking at Xuanye curiously.

Looking at the middle-aged Taoist priest, Xuan Ye suddenly smiled, and soon, his expression was overwhelmed by the loss again, and he muttered to himself: "Do you also think that the poor monk is too naΓ―ve?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest looked ignorant and smirked.

After a moment of silence, Xuan Ye continued, "Patriarch Su Bodhi is right, Wukong will give me an answer similar to his. Even...... But the poor monks really felt that the world was not what they thought. Everything has a cause and effect, and if we only look for the effect and forget that cause, what else can we mention about purifying sentient beings?"

With that, Xuanye turned around with the middle-aged Taoist priest and walked towards Xuanyin Temple.

......

In the grass, the monkey craned its neck and watched from afar.

"You say, isn't everyone who is a master so strange? As he spoke, the monkey glanced back at the hoarfrost.

White Frost blinked at the monkey.

"My two masters, one of them, want to purify sentient beings, and what do you say that you should cultivate the path of enlightenment. I'm obviously a fucking practitioner with Dao qualifications. The other master is even more powerful, and he wants to overthrow Emperor Jun......"

"What about you?" asked White Frost.

"I, I just thought, just find a place to spend my birthday comfortably. Everyone is alive and well, and it doesn't matter if the Three Realms turn the world upside down, and it's my business?"

Looking at the monkey, White Frost pouted.

"Why, you don't think so?"

"I don't think you can do it. ”

"Why?"

"Have you forgotten how we met?" Bai Shuang said softly, "If you don't save me, you can continue acting and your identity will not be revealed." Mixed in the human town, the crocodile spirit does not dare to disturb easily. In that case...... Isn't there nothing to do?"

"You're different. The monkey waved his hand and said, getting up from the grass and turning to walk back.

Bai Shuang quickly chased after him and said, "Why am I different? I think I'm also a common man, and there's nothing special about me." ”

"I promise, you're the last. I'm never going to save people again. The monkey stretched out three fingers and swore to the sky.

"Actually, you are also a common man. Have you forgotten? Senior Brother Yin Xing. If Senior Brother Yin Xing hadn't taken us in with compassion, he wouldn't have had trouble with Yin De. Do you hope that he won't save you either? There are also Senior Brother Shaoying, Master Xuanye, and Patriarch Su Bodhi. Senior Brother Yin Xing, Senior Brother Shaoying, and Patriarch Su Bodhi, their cultivation is much higher than yours, can't they figure this out?"

"Then next time I'm going to do something wrong, you guys will hold me!"

"Pull the ......"

"Can't hold the ......" The monkey stopped, took a deep breath, and said impatiently: "If you can't hold it, then work hard to cultivate, we will all learn the way of the practitioner, and when the time comes, we will rush up and kill each other!

As he spoke, the monkey took a step and strode forward again.

White Frost was thoughtful, but he couldn't think clearly, so he had to follow closely.

......

It was night, and the monkey was lying on the couch tossing and turning, and the words that Genye had said kept echoing in his mind. However, it's not that I think he has a point, but that I think he has a hard time.

However, it can be explained that he wanted to name himself Xingren, but why did Subodhi name him "Wukong"?

Although he casually said "Wukong is needed to break the stubbornness", this is obviously a name such as a Buddhist name. Could it be that Subodhi also cultivates Buddha?

However, if he cultivates Buddhism, why is he dressed as a Taoist priest?

After thinking about it, I can't figure it out after all. After all, let alone him, even Shaoying didn't know the origin of Su Bodhi. In the end, I had to scratch my scalp vigorously.

......

At this moment, in the dark Scripture Pavilion of the Three-Star Cave of the Oblique Moon, the nine-headed insect was quietly groping, and every place was carefully inspected.

Suddenly, the hydra didn't know what it had moved, and the wall on the side moved open, leaving a bottomless tunnel.

......

In the main hall, Su Bodhi opened his eyes slightly.

......

"Hehe, I knew there must be a secret here!" the hydra looked around and cautiously walked down the tunnel.
