Chapter 5: Nothing is done
Patriarch Bodhi has long known that the stone monkey has not seriously thought about it behind closed doors.
Recently, he has been unrestrained, and his nature is exposed, but he has cultivated the method of appearancelessness to a certain extent.
It was too late for the patriarch to be happy.
As for the other disciples, it can really be said that rotten wood cannot be carved, and if they are disturbed by the storytelling of the stone monkey, they are destined to become a great climate in the future.
"Goku. ”
The patriarch got up and dressed: "Go out for a walk with me." ”
He walked out of the house with the stone monkey and walked through the mountains and forests at night.
Along the forest path, the two climbed a cliff.
The breeze is coming, and the moon is like water.
"You've seen through my mystery, and I'll teach you another spell. ”
The patriarch admired the night and suddenly said, "What do you want to learn?"
The stone monkey hurriedly replied, "Master, I want to learn the way of immortality. ”
"The way of immortality?"
The ancestor's eyes flashed with a fine light, and then stroked his long beard: "It's not difficult for you. ”
The patriarch did not refuse, although he did not refuse, but he did not teach the Tao to the stone monkey as the book said.
"You have a demon in your heart, and you must overcome him. We can teach you. ”
The patriarch reminded the stone monkey.
The stone monkey frowned slightly: "Master, I don't have a demon. ”
"Everyone is shorter than they see. ”
The patriarch turned around: "You have hidden too many secrets in your heart, and now the law is gradually formed, and the demons in your heart are born by themselves." ”
He saw that the stone monkey didn't believe it, and with a wave of Buddha dust, a fluttering black mist flew out of the stone monkey.
The black mist swirled in the air, and then condensed into a stone monkey sitting on a lotus flower.
"Huh!"
The patriarch was shocked.
Even he didn't expect that the stone monkey's heart demon was actually a Buddha demon.
The stone monkey looked up at the black mist, and the appearance of the demon in his heart was exactly the same as his, except that his eyes were full of Buddha nature.
The stone monkey immediately understood that this demon was a thought that was denied by himself.
"The sacred heart of the Buddha's mouth, purifying all sentient beings. ”
The demon suddenly spoke, "You should have become a Buddha. ”
What kind of demon is this, which actually persuades people to become Buddhas.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
The patriarch couldn't help but praise in his heart.
He is really a disciple who is really dedicated to goodness, otherwise how could he give birth to such demons?
The stone monkey was also a little surprised, and then shook his head.
"In this world, demons are rampant, people are like mustard, and all living beings are universal, but they should listen to vain words. ”
He disagrees with the demons.
The demon's gaze sank, and he spoke again.
"Your heart is higher than the Buddha, but you have a thousand knots that you can't solve. ”
"Let me ask you, if you want a demon not to eat people, then the demon must not kill people, how can people not kill people?
The heart demon asked the stone monkey, the stone monkey's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
This retreat revealed a flaw, and the inner demon took advantage of the weakness to enter, and then got into the body of the stone monkey.
The stone monkey fainted and fell to the ground.
The patriarch couldn't stop him, so he could only shake his head and sigh.
What the heart demon said was extraordinary, and it can be seen that this disciple has a strong ambition in his heart, and the ambition is so high that it is terrifying.
The patriarch bent down and stretched out his hand, just trying to help the stone monkey, but found that the black qi on his body was entangled, and he was already in a state where he could not move.
The patriarch then set up an enchantment, turned around and went back to the house.
The next day, the patriarch informed the disciples that the stone monkey was being punished behind closed doors.
The disciples gloated and didn't mention it for the time being, but the patriarch couldn't stop thinking, the question about demons and humans in the monkey's heart, I'm afraid there is no answer-
The more the patriarch thinks about it, the more wrong it is, people kill, demons eat people, that is the cycle of heavenly principles, there is no way to break it, I am afraid that even the Buddha can't answer.
"Monkey in danger......"
The patriarch thought to himself.
If you can't answer the demons, the stone monkey will never wake up again.
Three days later, the patriarch came to the cliff again.
At that time, when the bright moon was in the sky, the stone monkey suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes reflected a deep starry sky, but it was as clear as a child, and there was no pollution.
When the patriarch saw it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Wukong, the demons in your heart have been removed. ”
He asked repeatedly, "What is the answer?"
The stone monkey stood up and saluted the patriarch: "The disciple has not come up with an answer. ”
The patriarch was stunned.
"How did the demons disappear?"
"Master once said that Hongmeng was sexless at the beginning, and he broke the stubborn Wukong. ”
The stone monkey replied: "The disciple has found that blindly pursuing the answer will be endless, and it will not help. ”
The patriarch looked at the stone monkey and was stunned for a long time before he smiled dumbly.
He understood.
This is a big problem between heaven and earth, how many sages and immortals and Buddhas have thrown themselves into it, and they will never be able to get out.
But this monkey is good, he is free and easy by nature, breaks the obsession, gets out of the problem itself, and goes directly to the obsession.
As soon as the obsession is gone, the demons in the heart will disappear naturally.
"There is no solution to the problem, and the mediocrity disturbs itself. ”
The patriarch shook his head, he was a mediocre this time.
"Wukong, can you put it down?"
The patriarch asked.
"Nope. ”
The stone monkey shook his head, as if a light flashed in his eyes.
"There is no solution to a thousand knots, but there is a way to get me to the answer. ”
The patriarch was shocked and looked at the stone monkey again.
"I can't do it!"
The patriarch thought.
The stone monkey thought that he had not received an answer, and the patriarch thought that he had let it go, but he did not realize that the stone monkey had already received a better answer.
The so-called road to simplicity, wisdom and foolishness, that's what I said.
"Wukong, you are dedicated to goodness, and my heart is happy. ”
The patriarch sat cross-legged on the cliff and suddenly groaned softly.
"The secret of the secret circle is really wonderful, and there is no one to say about cultivating life.
They are always energetic, and they are careful to hide and leak.
Hugh leaks, the body is hidden, and you are preached by me.
The mantra is more beneficial to memorize, and it is cool to eliminate evil desires.
It has to be cool, bright and clean, so that you can enjoy the bright moon in Dantai.
The moon hides the jade rabbit and the day hides the black, and there are turtles and snakes coiled together.
The phase is coiled, and the life is strong, but it can plant golden lotus in the fire.
The five elements of the cluster are used upside down, and the work is completed with the Buddha and the immortal. ”
This is the method of immortality.
The stone monkey learned to live forever, and after another three years, his nature became more and more revealed, frolicking all day long, living like a child, but his roots became more and more stable.
The patriarch then taught the seventy-two changes to the stone monkey.
In this way, a few more years passed, and one day, the patriarch watched the stars at night, and his fate with the stone monkey was over.
"It's time for him to go back. ”
The patriarch is reluctant to give up, but the stone monkey immortal law has been completed, such an earth-shattering person, staying here for a long time, I am afraid it will bring disaster.
The patriarch counted on his fingers, the stone monkey is stubborn by nature, and he will definitely show off the art of change, and then he will have a chance to drive him away.
So, the patriarch secretly stared at the stone monkey, and about half a year passed, but he was shocked to find that the stone monkey frolicked all day long, but never showed off the immortal method.
"This monkey has no appearance!"
The patriarch was surprised and delighted, the culmination of the unphased is that the unphased concealment of his heart, like watching flowers in the fog, can't be touched, can't see - the stone monkey didn't give the patriarch a chance to drive him away.
The stone monkey has been studying art in Sanxing Cave for more than ten years, and he is often ridiculed and ridiculed by the senior brothers, but he has never shown himself, and no one in the door knows that he has built the avenue.
Now, even the calculations of the patriarch are ineffective for him.
False and real, true and false, the stone monkey seems to have practiced the method of no appearance.
His mind was so deep that he had escaped from the Three Realms and mastered that glimmer of life.
