Chapter Thirty-Seven: What is the Tightening?
The metaphor of the man in red is actually quite appropriate. The reason www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion is actually not difficult to understand. It's like a piece of wood, you can cut it with a saw, but there is a piece of wood that keeps sawing no matter what, and if there is no problem with the saw, the only possibility is that it is not wood at all, it just looks like it.
Sun Wukong also quickly understood what the man in red meant, stretched out his hand to touch the tight hoop on the top of his head, and said uncertainly: "You mean, this tight hoop on my head is not a magic weapon or a magic weapon? The man in red didn't continue to explain, but looked at Sun Wukong with a smile and said, "I've said a lot, and you should know that I'm very sincere, so do you also show your sincerity?"
The meaning of this man in red is obvious, I say all this just to let you know that I have the ability to untie the shackles on your head, but if you continue to talk about it, it will be within the scope of the transaction. Sun Wukong did not answer immediately, but lowered his head and frowned. Sun Wukong has basically believed in this man in red now, but believing is believing, but Sun Wukong can't be sure that he really has the ability to untie his shackles.
And there are a few things that make Sun Wukong have to think carefully. First of all, this red-clothed man is the birthplace of Sakyamuni, the Lumbini Garden, so this red-clothed man is likely to be a Buddhist himself. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that this Lumbini Garden and Rulai are in the same group, and now they are here to coax themselves, in order to kill the master.
This is very possible and cannot be ignored. After all, if this Lumbini Garden was really sent by Nyolai, then it was normal for him to know everything about Nyolai and the Hoop. Secondly, even if this lumbini garden was not sent by Rulai, Sun Wukong could not believe that he really had the ability to untie the shackles based on his words alone. Although Sun Wukong wanted to untie the hoops, he did not lose his mind.
After a long time, Sun Wukong spoke: "How do you want to trade with me?" Untie my hoops first, or will I hand over Tang Sanzang to you first?" The man in red smiled and said: "Well, of course it's together, when I untie your hoops, you hand over Tang Sanzang to me." Sun Wukong thought about it, but still shook his head and said: "I still can't trust you, even if it's hard to know who the hoop is and what's going on, but that doesn't mean that you can untie it." In addition, you want to get Tang Sanzang instead of eating him, why is that?"
The man in red seemed to have a good patience, nodded and said, "What you said is right, knowing what is going on does not mean that you have the ability to solve it." There's not much I can do about that, after all, that's all I can say, and it's up to you whether or not to trade with me. In addition, I know that Tang Sanzang's meat can only increase cultivation and understanding, but it can't make people immortal, so eating him doesn't mean anything to me. ”
"As for why I want to get him, it's also very simple, because Tang Sanzang is the one who has the potential to replace Rulai and become the master of Buddhism, and Tang Sanzang is very special, very special. Sun Wukong paused, and said, "What if I refuse to trade with you?" The man in red laughed, and then said: "This is actually not a loss to me, but it is just a matter of waiting for a while." Sooner or later, you will have a decisive battle with Rulai, and by that time, my goal can still be achieved, but the shackles on your head may not be so easy to unravel. ”
Sun Wukong was silent, and after being silent, he turned around and left. The man in red didn't say anything, nor did he stop him, just looked at Sun Wukong and gradually walked away. Soon, Sun Wukong returned to Huoluozhuang, and Zhu Bajie had already returned to me, and he was eating at this time. When Tang Sanzang saw Sun Wukong coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Sun Wukong's hand and asked, "Wukong, are you injured?" Bajie said that there are more powerful monsters in the Seven Peerless Mountains. ”
Sun Wukong's face was a little unnatural, but he still smiled and said: "It's okay, that monster didn't start a war with me, and after knowing that I was the Monkey King, he left." Tang Sanzang breathed a sigh of relief, and then Zhu Bajie suddenly asked, "Brother Monkey, what kind of monster is it later?"
Sun Wukong said: "It's the Seven Peerless Mountains that have become essences, but there should be no threat to us." By the way, Lao Sha, you go and tell the villagers that the goblin of the Seven Peerless Mountains is dead, and he will not harm the villagers in the future. Sha Wujing nodded, and went out to inform the villagers.
Tang Sanzang seemed to have noticed that Sun Wukong was a little wrong, and just wanted to ask something, but suddenly stopped talking. Sun Wukong didn't find out, but Zhu Bajie didn't have as many scruples as Tang Sanzang, swallowed the contents of his mouth in a few bites, and then asked: "What's the matter, Brother Monkey?
"Master, I don't want to hide it from you, I have something to ask you. Tang Sanzang saw that something was not quite right with Sun Wukong, so he nodded, ordered Bajie to let him go out and guard, and then sat down at the table and signaled that Sun Wukong could speak.
Sun Wukong also sat down at the table, glanced at Tang Sanzang, and said: "Master, what is the matter with the tight hoop on my head, do you know?" Tang Sanzang was a little surprised, he didn't expect Sun Wukong to ask him this, after thinking about it, Tang Sanzang said: "When you just came out of the Five Elements Mountain, just when you were excited to stretch your muscles and bones, Guanyin Bodhisattva turned into an old woman, handed over the hoop mantra to the teacher, and told me that when you didn't listen to the teachings, let me recite the hoop mantra." And that tight hoop, as early as Chang'an, Guanyin Bodhisattva had already given it to me. ”
Sun Wukong shook his head and said, "That's not what I'm asking, Master, do you know what this hoop is?" After Sun Wukong finished speaking, Tang Sanzang suddenly fell silent. Just looking at Sun Wukong, half a sound, Tang Sanzang suddenly asked, "Wukong, what happened?"
Sun Wukong didn't answer, but asked again, "Master, do you know what this hoop is?" Tang Sanzang looked at Sun Wukong, suddenly sighed, in Sun Wukong's shocked eyes, Tang Sanzang nodded slowly, and said: "For the teacher to know, when I first recited the hoop mantra, I knew." ”
Sun Wukong's breathing was a little heavy, and his hands kept clenching and loosening, loosening and clenching. Obviously very nervous, but after taking a few deep breaths in a row, Sun Wukong calmed down again, looked at Tang Sanzang with burning eyes, and asked, "Can you tell me, what is this tight hoop?"
This time, Tang Sanzang shook his head suddenly, and said in a gloomy tone: "Now is not the time, Wukong, your anger has not disappeared, your heart is undecided, now, it is not the time to tell you about this." Sun Wukong said again: "When can you tell me?" Tang Sanzang said: "The heart is like stopping water, and you can be happy and angry." When you can turn your anger into wishing, the time has come. ”
Sun Wukong's eyes were a little gloomy, he took a deep breath, and asked, "Can you untie my shackles?" Tang Sanzang shook his head and said, "No, not only me, Guanyin and Rulai, can't." Sun Wukong's tone was already a little pressing. "What should I do if someone can untie me, but at the cost of you, Master?"
Tang Sanzang showed a sudden look and said calmly: "Impossible, there is only one person in this world who can untie the shackles on your head, this person is not me, not Rulai, not Guanyin, not the Jade Emperor, naturally, it can't be someone else." Sun Wukong didn't understand the meaning of Tang Sanzang's words, but said again: "But, I want to try, I want to be free." ”
Tang Sanzang sighed again and told Sun Wukong a story: "A monk asked Shi Xiqian, how is it to be liberated? The stone asked rhetorically: Who binds you? The monk asked: How is the Pure Land? The stone asked rhetorically: Who is the dirty you? The monk asked again: How is Nirvana? The stone asked rhetorically: "Who will live and die with you?"
"Wukong, if you can understand that your own treasures are sufficient, you can use them freely, and you don't ask for anything else."
"If you ask for the Buddha, you will be taken by the Buddha and the demons, if you ask for the ancestors, you will be taken by the ancestors and demons, if you ask for all the suffering, it is better to be the first thing."
