Chapter 197: Gibbon Monkey
The monkey that Ye Xuan found on Peach Mountain was none other than the gibbon monkey, one of the four monkeys in the mixed world.
As the saying goes, there are five immortals in the heavens: heaven, earth, gods, humans, and ghosts. There are five insects: nai, scales, hair, feathers, and kun. In addition, there are four monkeys mixed in the world, and they are not included in the ten categories.
The first is the Lingming stone monkey, through change, knowing the sky, knowing the location, moving the stars and changing the bucket.
Speaking of this Lingming stone monkey, Ye Xuan is the most familiar - because this Lingming stone monkey is the well-known Monkey King in later generations. The story of Sun Wukong will be placed in later generations, and it can be said that everyone knows it, and Ye Xuan is no exception.
The second is the Akajiri horse monkey, Xiao Yin and Yang, knows personnel, is good at entering and exiting, and avoids death and prolongs life.
This Chijiri horse monkey, Ye Xuan is not unfamiliar, because during Dayu's water control, this Chijiri horse monkey was a pseudonym without a branch Qi in Huaishui to make trouble, which made it difficult for Dayu to progress in water control, and finally Fu Xi personally took action and suppressed him.
The third is the gibbon monkey, taking the sun and the moon, shrinking thousands of mountains, distinguishing the blame, and playing with the world.
For this gibbon monkey, it is the monkey that Ye Xuan found in Taoshan. And in the Hereafter. There is a saying about this gibbon monkey, that is, he is Yuan Hong, the boss of the Meishan Seven Monsters who fought with Yang Jian during the Fengshen period.
The fourth is a six-eared macaque, good at listening to sounds, able to perceive, know before and after, and everything is clear.
This six-eared macaque, compared to several other monkeys, is much more miserable, purely in the Monkey King made a background board, although in the process and Sun Wukong are inseparable, but in the end it is still dead under Sun Wukong's golden hoop stick. It's just that in some legends, it is also said that the six-eared macaque once relied on his talent to eavesdrop on Hongjun's preaching, and finally Hongjun said "The law does not pass on the six ears", which adds a lot of mystery to the six-eared macaque, but, in fact, Hongjun preached several times Ye Xuan also went, but he never heard Hongjun say anything "The law does not pass on the six ears".
These four monkeys do not belong to the ten categories, and they do not reach the name of two.
Moreover, about Yuan Hong and Yang Jian, there is still a saying in later generations - Yuan Hong's eight or nine Xuangong in the Battle of the Gods was stolen from Yang Jian when he was young, so he owed Yang Jian the cause and effect, and finally lost to Yang Jian in the Battle of the Gods.
Eighty-nine Xuangong is the current Western religion, and the Dharma protector of Buddhism in the future is the method of sanctification of the body, but Sanqing also has a similar method called Nine Turns Xuangong.
Then the question arises, Yang Jian is a disciple of Yuding Zhenren, and Yuding Zhenren is a disciple of Interpretation, so why does Yang Jian still practice Eight or Nine Xuangong?
There is a saying that when Yang Jian was a child, before he met the real person of Yuding, someone had already given Yang Jian eight or nine Xuangong. As for who it is, who else can there be besides Zhun Ti? And Yuan Hong secretly learned eight or nine Xuangong at that time, and during this period, he also served as a bodyguard for Yang Jian when he was a child for a while - this is also the reason why Zhun Ti let Yuan Hong secretly learn eight or nine Xuangong. Therefore, although Yuding later handed over the Nine Turns of Xuangong to Yang Jian - but firstly, the two are the supreme method of sanctification of the flesh in the final analysis, and there is no difference in essence, and secondly, Yang Jian has practiced since he was a child, so although he later learned the Nine-Turn Xuangong, Yang Jian of the Eighty-Nine Xuangong did not fall behind.
Of course, legends are just legends after all, but Ye Xuan, who is in the matter of Yunhua, has already noticed the traces of Zhun Zhi's hand, and now he has also found this gibbon monkey in Taoshan, so the credibility of this statement is undoubtedly very high.
It's just that, even so, this time due to Ye Xuan's intervention, Yang Jian didn't go through a few ups and downs and went directly to the Yuding real person, in this way, Zhun Ti just wanted to pass on the eight or nine Xuangong to Yang Jian, I'm afraid there would be no chance- After all, at that time, strictly speaking, Yang Jian was not a disciple of the teaching, and others could not say anything about the eight or nine Xuangong that Zhun Ti passed on to Yang Jian, but now Yang Jian has entered the door of Yuding Zhenren and has become a genuine disciple of the teaching, so if Zhun Ti passes it on to Yang Jian Eight or Nine Xuangong, it will be a blatant digging of the wall. If he dared to do this, then with the character of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, he would definitely dare to find Lingshan and his theory.
However, in this way, although Yang Jian has dissociated himself from the West, this gibbon monkey has no opportunity to learn eight or nine Xuangong. So, did you spoil the chance of this gibbon?
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
To be honest, maybe because of the influence of the Monkey King in his heart when he was a child in his previous life, Ye Xuan's impression of monkeys is still quite good, and Yuan Hong is not a nasty character among the gods. Therefore, after sorting out the joints, Ye Xuan walked halfway but did not continue to return to Heavenly Court, but turned around and returned to Peach Mountain again.
Although Ye Xuan went to the Six Realms of Reincarnation in the middle of this, and returned to Heavenly Court halfway through, it didn't take much time to return to Peach Mountain with his footsteps. After Ye Xuan returned to Peach Mountain, the gibbon monkey was still on Peach Mountain. Ye Xuan observed him and found that it was probably really because he was one of the four monkeys in the mixed world, and he was extraordinary. Although this gibbon monkey has no one to teach and everything is on his own, he has some ways to do it today. Moreover, the most satisfying thing for Ye Xuan is that this gibbon monkey lives on this peach mountain, and does not rely on his own cultivation to bully other monkeys or animals, but often helps other monkeys or animals, this kindness is rare and valuable.
However, although he admired this monkey very much, and Ye Xuan also had the heart to make up for the lost opportunity of this gibbon monkey, Ye Xuan did not rush to meet him - he was thinking about testing this monkey. Only, how to test?
Looking at the gibbon monkey in the peach mountain, Ye Xuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
For a long time, Ye Xuan remembered the story of the four masters and apprentices in the later generations learning scriptures from the West, and his thoughts couldn't help but move slightly, and a bad taste came to his heart - then that's it.
Just do it, now that he has made up his mind, Ye Xuan has also transformed into a young monk wearing a robe and holding a Zen staff and walking towards Peach Mountain.
Along the way, Ye Xuan deliberately made a hungry look, and when he felt that the gibbon monkey was nearby, he directly pretended to faint in front of him. However, fainting is not counted, Ye Xuan deliberately shouted at the place where the gibbon monkey was before fainting: "Wukong save me!"
After doing all this, Ye Xuan pretended to be dead and lay on the ground like a dead fish, and his heart was leisurely - well, this acting skill is very!
