Chapter 94: Self-Tempering Eliminates Cause and Effect
"If the teacher does not accept the disciple as an apprentice, the disciple will not be able to kneel for a long time, and please ask the teacher to be merciful, pass on my way, and lead me to the beginning. The six-eared macaque pleaded.
Hearing this, the Daoist shook his head and said: "Your mind, the poor Dao is clear, but the poor Dao can't accept you as a disciple, what have you done, I believe you are also very clear, in the past, the Dao Ancestor preached in Zixiao Palace, and those who were destined to listen to it, since you had no chance to go to Zixiao Palace to listen to the sermon, you should not force it, instead of relying on your own natural powers, acting recklessly, he is the cause of the day, the effect of today, everything you have suffered today is just karma and retribution, and you can't complain about others." โ
Hearing this, the six-eared macaque's eyes were red, how did he not know that because he had offended the Taoist ancestor, the power of the world would regard himself as a flood beast, and he couldn't avoid it, thinking of being driven around for many years, he couldn't help but feel sorry for it, and pleaded again and again: "The teacher is merciful, the disciple has already known his mistakes, and he will never dare to use his magical powers for cholera in the future, and ask the teacher to be merciful and guide the disciple to a way out." โ
After looking at the six-eared macaque, the returnless Taoist saw that he was truly repentant, and nodded secretly in his heart, although this six-eared macaque was stubborn and perverse, in the end, he was a smart natural spiritual creature, and his heart was not bad, presumably if he had not been unguided, he would not want to replace Sun Wukong in the future and seek a positive result, and the praise in his eyes was a little more.
"That's it, read in your heart to the Tao, sincere repentance, the poor road can show you a way, if you do it, the poor road will accept you as a disciple, if you can't do it, it is you and I fate should be exhausted, you have never seen the poor way. The returnee said.
"Thank you, thank you, teacher, and ask for your advice. Hearing the words of the no-return man, the six-eared macaque was suddenly overjoyed, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, although the no-return man did not say that he was accepted as an apprentice, but this sentence already made him ecstatic.
Looking at the six-eared macaque scratching his ears and cheeks, and his overjoyed appearance, the Daoist of No Return laughed in his heart, and said slowly: "In the past, you offended the Dao Ancestor with your natural powers, which was a great disrespect, and at the same time, in Zixiao Palace, the three thousand guests of Hongchen are powerful, and you are also disrespectful to these three thousand powers, and I also learned that for many years, you have relied on your natural supernatural powers to listen to the Tao everywhere, vainly consuming cause and effect, and now you are riddled with cause and effect, and you will have evil consequences in the future." โ
"Poor Dao read you a piece of sincerity, can't bear to see you fall into the land of no return, so point you a way out, from today, you want to worship Pangu, twilight Hongjun, handwritten Huang Ting 129,600 times, in order to comfort the past years offended the Taoist ancestors, at the same time, I want you to go all over the three thousand weak water, 100,000 rivers, worship the mountain, worship the water, ask for the forgiveness of the three thousand powers, but cause and effect, in the future, you must not use the talent and supernatural powers, try to provoke the red dust, until the scriptures are copied all over, the mountains and rivers are finished, after the cause and effect are canceled, you will hold this thing, come to the abbot fairyland to find me, since someone will come to extradite you, if you can't do it, then today's things, when the poor road has not been mentioned wellใ โ
Speaking, the returnless Taoist flicked his fingers, and a green and tender bamboo leaf fell into the hands of the six-eared macaque, without waiting for the six-eared macaque to look carefully, he saw that on the bluestone, the returnless Taoist had disappeared, and there was no trace on the bluestone, as if it had never appeared.
Looking at the six-eared macaque holding a bamboo leaf, a trace of expectation flashed in the eyes of the no-return Taoist, six-eared macaque, six-eared macaque, I hope you don't let Poor Dao down, successfully pass this test, give Poor Dao a surprise, and give yourself a way to live.
Looking at the disappeared no-return Taoist, the six-eared macaque was stunned for a long time, looked down at the bamboo leaves in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Abbot Fairyland, no returnee, I will definitely do it." After speaking, a trace of resoluteness flashed in the eyes of the six-eared macaque, and he firmly clenched the bamboo leaves in his hand, but according to what the Taoist said, he began to worship Pangu, and he respected Hongjun at dusk, and wrote Huangting 129,600 times in his hand, in order to comfort the suspicion of offending the Taoist ancestors in the past, and traveled all over the three thousand weak waters, one hundred thousand rivers, and worshiped the mountains and the water, but the cause and effect.
As the top power of the flood wilderness, every move of the Taoist without return has been paid attention to by everyone, and the six-eared macaque is a rare person in heaven and earth, who can make the Taoist ancestor mention a sentence, therefore, the matter of the six-eared macaque soon spread all over the flood wasteland, and for a while, there was a lot of talk in the flood wilderness, some praised, and some despised.
In Kunlun Mountain, when he learned of this, Yuan Shi Tianzun's eyes flashed with disdain, and he said in a deep voice: "This no-return junior brother, it is too contemptuous, the six-eared macaque, regardless of respect and inferiority, vainly moved the supernatural powers, annoyed the Taoist ancestor, don't say that the life of the embarrassing avenue, is the sky thunder strikes, it is not an exaggeration, for such a shallow person, a lot of trouble, it is really hindering the teacher's love, plainly let the world and all beings see the joke." โ
In this regard, Tongtian Daoist shook his head disapprovingly, "The second brother's words are too much, I think that the move of the no-return junior brother is very appropriate, as the so-called, Tianyan 49, has its own glimmer of life, although the six-eared macaque is entangled in cause and effect, offending the Taoist ancestor, but as the so-called, knowing mistakes can improve the great way, if you can listen to the words of the no-return junior brother, with great perseverance but cause and effect, wash away the lead, it is also a merit, and it should be edified." โ
"Such a shallow generation of blessings, even obeying our teachings, but also embarrassed the avenue, but to damage you and my luck, to say, to accept apprentices or to accept such good bones, good luck, only this kind of monks, can be edified, just like no return to the disciples, if not for his deep fortune, the futon seat will not change again and again, by the master under the door. Yuan Shi Tianzun reprimanded.
According to what the second brother said, the no-return junior brother was originally not a blessed person, but with his continuous efforts, there was another opportunity, it can be seen that as long as the education is done properly, it is the root of the bones, the blessing is shallow, and it may not be impossible to listen to the avenue. The Taoist retorted.
The people who have no return to the Tao don't know that because of one of their own actions, the Tongtian Daoist and the Yuan Shi Tianzun have a dispute again, in fact, it can't be said that it is because of one of his actions, it can only be said that as the cultivation of the Sanqing becomes more and more profound, each other's Tao is also more and more divergent, and after becoming enlightened in the future, it is also very different, laying the root of the future calamity.
The current people who have no return to the Tao are secretly concerned about these six-eared macaques, wanting to see if these six-eared macaques can pass their own tests and successfully enter the door, but they don't know anything about what happened on Kunlun Mountain, and they don't care at all.
