Chapter 422: Apprenticeship
Wukong said in his heart: "It's naturally not good to practice mana now, so as not to cause changes, and the only advantage I have now for these gods and Buddhas is to know how to develop! If this balance is broken, it will not be in my control." Or wait until the next day to find the three-star cave, and then cultivate the mana after meeting Master Su Bodhi, recently, I realized the truth. ”
Wukong experienced a life and death, and the Yuan Shen transcended the way of heaven, as if he was like the way of heaven condescendingly saw everything clearly, and he was exposed to it, plus he was a person with extraordinary talents, so he naturally comprehended great wisdom, everything, all of which are under the way of heaven, beyond the way of heaven, what a great opportunity?
After thinking for a moment and taking a look at the hedrons, Wukong lifted them up, found a tree under them, dug a big pit, and buried them in it.
This spar is a treasure, he didn't care about it after he was born, and he didn't know who took it in, but now he understands a lot of things, of course, he won't let go of any opportunity to make himself strong, and when the time comes, he will refine it into a magic weapon, and he may have unexpected effects.
When he arrived at the bottom of the mountain and saw a group of monkeys, Wukong couldn't help but sigh with emotion, at this time, there was no longer the ignorance and chic of the past, and his heart was heavy.
When this group of monkeys saw someone they didn't know, they couldn't help but gather around and ask this and that.
Wukong was silent, walked to the edge of the cliff, and said, "Whoever can jump behind this waterfall will be our king!"
A group of monkeys clapped their hands again and again, after all, from the time the monkeys appeared in Huaguo Mountain to the present, no one has been able to jump over.
Wukong swooped, jumped high, and crossed the waterfall, he was born with a flexible body and a great talent, so he jumped over the waterfall and came to this "Huaguo Mountain Blessed Land, Water Curtain Cave Cave Heaven", and then found the stone bridge, returned to Huaguo Mountain from the stone bridge, and pointed out the route to a group of monkeys, so that these monkeys could also enter the water curtain cave to play. He ran alone into the forest to find timber and make a raft.
With no tools, it took him a full year to finally set up a relatively sturdy and stable raft, and Wukong asked a group of monkeys to help him push the raft into the water, and then jumped on top of the raft and floated down the water into the East China Sea.
A big man had already come to tell Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, not to make waves in the past few days, so that he had a southeast wind on the sea and sent Wukong to Nanchanbu Continent.
Ao Guang naturally did not dare to disobey the order of this big man, and made the waves calm on the sea for several days, although the wind was strong, but the waves never turned up, the southeast wind blew tightly, and it took a lot of time to send Wukong to Nanchanbu Continent. Wukong arrived at the coast of Nanchanbu Continent, the time was not the same as before, it was many years earlier, this was also Wukong's plan, taking advantage of the fact that the golden cicada had not been completely reincarnated, and made more preparations.
I took a few clothes from a fisherman's house and put them on, and then found the direction of Fangcun Mountain.
At this moment, a middle-aged Taoist in a white robe and black hair stepped on auspicious clouds and descended from the sky, and fell to the place where the Xiniu Hezhou and Nanchanbuzhou mountain ranges meet, and then with a flick of his fingers, he saw that there was an extra cave on the mountain, and a stone tablet was erected next to the cave, which read: "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Oblique Moon Three-Star Cave" Ten big characters.
Not long after the cave was built, many young Taoists stepped on auspicious clouds from the sky and flew down the mountain, and after seeing the Taoists, they bowed down one after another.
The Taoist said lightly: "Excuse me, from today onwards, the cave will be set up here, I will preach for ten years, waiting for a destined person to come." Remember, my path name is Subodhi, don't call my original path name again, otherwise you will be severely punished. Wusheng, this matter is supervised by you. ”
The Taoist who called Wusheng was a woman, dressed in a blue shirt and looking extremely clear, with a beautiful and delicate face, and after receiving the order of the Taoist, she immediately bowed and said, "The disciple obeys the teacher's decree to respect the Dharma." ”
This is the Su Bodhi Patriarch who taught Wukong magic, but I don't know what the origin is?
I saw that Patriarch Subodhi's black hair turned into white hair, black eyebrows turned into white eyebrows, black beard turned into white beard, and only a pair of yin and yang shoes with a little black.
All the Taoists also called him Master Su Bodhi, and they didn't dare to call him the original Tao name, which made Su Bodhi very satisfied, and couldn't help but slightly diǎn head.
"Why did Master want to get a name for Buddhism?" Wusheng asked.
"Huh...... I want to find a new way, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Buddhism Subodhi smiled and said, not stingy with mentioning the mystery of lifelessness.
Wusheng knew that Su Bodhi's realm was already unfathomable, and he wanted to try to find a new way, which made her still feel a little unbelievable when she heard it.
This Su Bodhi is a Buddhist term, can also be used as "Su Fu Ti", "Su Fu Di", "Su Budi" and so on, is the wisdom of the people, the most good at understanding the meaning of emptiness, Buddhism is also known as Shamen, Shamen, empty door, "emptiness" is the basic theory of Buddhism, the best at understanding emptiness, that is, the best understanding of the true meaning of the Buddha.
"Master, this place is already extremely close to Xiniu Hezhou, I'm afraid it will make Rulai unhappy, right?" Wusheng couldn't help but ask.
"Naturally, that's why I took the name of 'Su Bodhi'! This can be regarded as a show of weakness, and besides, the matter of teaching the stone monkey was discussed by Buddhism and Taoism together, and the list was signed before it was decided. Su Bodhi smiled indifferently and led a group of disciples into the cave.
This oblique moon three-star cave is extremely magnificent, a into the Qionglou Yuyu, a luxurious treasure.
Su Bodhi let the disciples choose their own residence, and then went to the deepest part of the Sanxing Cave, where there is a Yaotai, Su Bodhi stepped on the cloud on the Yaotai, and then waved his robe, and hundreds of futons immediately came under the Yaotai.
One by one, the disciples knew that Su Bodhi was going to explain the truth, and immediately went to the Yao platform to occupy the front seat and sit down, and those who arrived later could only be slightly annoyed that they had come too late.
Su Bodhi's eyes closed slightly, and he began to preach, and for a time the sky was full of flowers, the ground was surging with golden lotus, and the sky was auspicious, the dragon elephant was galloping, and the phoenix was crying.
It is said that there is no sun and moon in practice, and I don't know how long this sermon has been preached.
Su Bodhi suddenly opened his eyes and stopped speaking, and all the disciples below still had their eyes slightly closed, the corners of their mouths smiling, and they couldn't wake up in the beautiful sound of the sermon.
Su Bodhi woke up the boy who was waiting on the side and said to him, "Tong'er, there is a destined person outside, you go and pick him in." ”
The boy received Su Bodhi's careful instructions, nodded again and again, and then cautiously passed by the senior brothers and sisters, and came out of the three-star cave of the oblique moon.
It turned out that almost ten years had passed unconsciously, and Wukong had slept all the way and finally arrived at Fangcun Mountain.
It is said that Subodhi ordered the boy to come and wait for Wukong, and he turned into an old man to cut trees in the forest, singing in his mouth.
The song said: "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. ”
Wukong knew as soon as he saw this old man, probably sent by the patriarch of Su Bodhi, when he was apprenticed to learn art, he also met this old man, and the song sung by this old man is also like this, although he knows where the three-star cave is, but he still asked according to his temperament: "Old fairy, the disciple is guilty!"
The boy who pretended to be an old man couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw that it was a monkey, but when he thought of what the master said that this junior brother was a gift, he didn't dare to slack off, so he said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be! I'm not an old fairy, if you want to find an old fairy, you have to go south for seven miles, where there is a Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, and there is a three-star cave with a slanting moon on the mountain, and there is an old fairy with great powers living in the cave!"
Even if Wukong is reborn in a lifetime, he can't think of who Su Bodhi is, and why he refuses to come forward when he encounters a big crisis? There must be something strange in it, and he can only find out one by one, and now he is no longer an ignorant stone monkey, but the Monkey King who first opened great wisdom, and wants to break away from the conspiracy and take his fate into his own hands.
Wukong didn't say much to the boy who pretended to be a woodcutter, and arched his hand and said, "Then thank the old man for pointing to diǎn." ”
After saying this, he walked all the way to the three-star cave of the slanting moon.
The old man pinched the magic trick in his hand, turned into a child, smiled slightly, and then his body turned into blue light, and Wukong came to the three-star cave first.
Wukong walked to Fangcun Mountain, only to see that the door of the three-star cave was closed, covered with golden lacquer, which looked golden and majestic, and he was stunned on the spot for a while, only to feel that the previous life seemed to be just a dream, everything was like a dream, he woke up in Huaguo Mountain, and then followed the dream to the three-star cave...... This is also a momentary magic barrier, thinking of Tang Seng before he died, he angrily reprimanded the solemnity of the treasure and the determination to cut the flesh and feed himself, he knew that it was not a dream.
All of this subverted Wukong's common sense, if he wanted to harm him, King Jizo and Guanyin were afraid of Rulai and didn't dare to say more...... Everything that happened in his previous life made Wukong feel aggrieved, or rather, after being crushed under the Five Finger Mountain, he was no longer the Monkey King, and after wearing the hoop, he was completely lost.
The Monkey King with the hoop on, is it still the Monkey King?
Standing outside the Sanxing Cave for a long time, the boy didn't wait for someone to knock on the door, so he couldn't help but open the door, and after seeing Wukong, he said: "Who is harassing me in this fairy blessed land? Why don't you leave quickly?"
Wukong hurriedly said: "Fairy Child, I came to visit the old immortal, not to harass me. ”
The boy said, "Oh, then, you're here to learn from a teacher?" ”
Wukong followed the boy into the three-star cave, this oblique moon three-star cave is no different from before, it seems to be a piece of heaven and earth, the pearl palace treasure is connected, the Qionglou Yuyu echoes, the crane cries and flies, and the god horse gallops on the clouds. This journey has been another * year of time, and the daily wind and food and sleeping in the open have finally arrived, which makes Wukong feel relieved, and it is always reassuring to have a master to protect him.
Now, the identity of this Su Bodhi is not clear for the time being, of course Wukong will not tell all that he knows, even if Su Bodhi is "his own person", but who knows if the pervasive Rulai will be planted by his side?
If you come to play a hand of "stealing the sky and changing the day" because Wukong is aware of the Journey to the West, I am afraid that it is only a matter of time before he wakes up, in order not to destroy the plan to learn from the scriptures, in order not to make mistakes, Rulai still decided to choose the most reliable method, let the six-eared macaque kill Wukong, Li Dai Tao stiff.
When he came down to the Yaotai of Subodhi, Wukong knelt down and kowtowed.
Suboda asked, "Where did you come from?"
Wukong pointed to the east and said, "Back to Master, the disciple is from Dongsheng Shenzhou and Aolai Country. ”
Su Bodhi suddenly reprimanded: "You cunning fox, let me out! Dongsheng Shenzhou is separated by a Southern Toad Continent here, two major seas, how did you come here?"
Wukong hurriedly said: "Master, Master! The disciple entered the East China Sea from Dongsheng Shenzhou, and the strong wind blew wildly for several days, blowing the disciple dizzy, and I don't know how many years he has been drifting, the disciple fishes from the sea to eat when he is hungry, and when he is thirsty, he catches the rain to drink, and finally arrives at the shore, and then walks for * years, plus drifting on the sea, it has been more than ten years, and he has only arrived here." ”
Su Bodhi bowed slightly, and said, "In that case, what is your name?"
Wukong then said: "The disciple was born in the Nine Holes and Eight Holes Strange Stone, and has no name. ”
There are 12 generations of "vast wisdom, true as the sea of sex, Ying Wu Yuanjue", and now Wukong is in line with the word "Wu" of the first generation, Su Bodhi and Wukong may enter the door of liberation in the future, so he was named "Wukong", and then he was a monkey, so he took the surname Sun, the origin of the name of "Sun Wukong", which is so. Wukong was once again given the name by Subodhi, and he was embarrassed in his heart, he was still very grateful to this master, although he didn't show up much later, but after all, he was the first person to preach and teach, and he also gave his name, how can he forget?
Wukong bowed again and again, and said, "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!"
Subodhi was slightly surprised and asked, "What are you crying for?"
Wukong wiped his tears and said: "The disciple was born without a father or mother, without brothers and sisters, without a name or surname, and today I am very grateful to be given a name by my master, so I cried." ”
In fact, Wukong couldn't help but sigh, thinking of this thing being a human thing, everything that had happened, and now experiencing it again, it is really emotional.
Su Bodhi smiled and said, "Don't cry, from today onwards, you will have many brothers and sisters." Wusheng, you led him to meet the senior brothers and sisters. ”
The female Taoist called Wusheng stood up, Wukong hurriedly stood up, and then she led them one by one to meet these senior brothers and sisters who had known each other for a long time, but they were not as good as Wukong Yuanshen transcended the way of heaven and was able to retain his memory. The brothers and sisters were kind to Wukong and greeted him.
