Chapter 6 The Monkey King Goes to Sea in Search of Eternal Life
It is said that the stone monkey jumped into the waterfall and the flying spring. Passing through the waterfall into it, Fang Zhi is a place with a cave, there is no water and no waves in the hole, but there is a stone bridge across, the stream is murmuring under the bridge, there are peach trees, flowers and fruits on both sides, the emerald green and bamboo are accompanied, there is no source of light in the cave but it is also very bright. The stone monkey stood on the stone bridge and leaned down to look down, and saw that the flowing water was clear and translucent, and a few peach blossoms fell into it, ups and downs, pink dots, it was really a clean place.
The stone monkey looked at it and then went inside, and after a while, it was another scene in front of him, but he saw that this place was a table, chair, bed and stool were all made of stone, and there were stone bowls and stone cups on the stone table as if there were people living in general, and the stone monkey saw that there seemed to be brilliance circulating on the stone wall over there, and he was in front of the body, groping on it with his hand, but it was inlaid with ten regular script characters, which was: "Huaguo Mountain Blessed Land, Water Curtain Cave Cave Sky." "There's a lot of light on top of every font. The stone monkey knew that this place was called the Water Curtain Cave, and his heart was overjoyed, and he jumped out of the waterfall and the spring in a hurry.
The monkeys were waiting outside the cave, and when they saw the stone monkey coming out of it unharmed, they were naturally very happy, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it inside, is the water deep?" The stone monkey said happily: "The great creation, it is really a great creation, there is not only no water in it, but also a pair of natural and excellent belongings, we all go in and live together, wouldn't it be happy!" All the monkeys said: "Okay!"
Entering the water curtain cave, all the monkeys are overjoyed to see the scene in the cave, one by one to fight for pots and bowls, occupy the stove and fight for the bed, where you fight for each other to chase and fight, it is the time when the monkey is stubborn and has no peace. The stone monkey sat on the high seat in the middle and stopped the monkeys and said, "Everyone listen to me quietly. The noise stopped, and all the monkeys stood silently. The stone monkey said again: "Everyone, you don't know what you can say, you just said, whoever has the ability to come in and out, and is not injured, will worship him as a king." Now that I have come in and out, and have gone out and come in again, and have not hurt me in the slightest, should you worship me as king?"
The white ape stepped forward and said, "Yes, we have promised that we will not go back on our word. Then he bowed down first, and all the monkeys also bowed down, and shouted, "See the king." The voice echoed through the water curtain cave. The stone monkey was very happy in his heart, and said, "Get up." When the monkeys got up, they heard the white ape say again: "King, the old monkey king is known as the black monkey king, and the king is both the new king and the good name." ”
The stone monkey thought for a while and said, "Since you all call me Little Stone Monkey, then I will naturally be called the Stone Monkey King." ”
The white ape said: "The king, the name of the stone monkey king is not very good, the king is a golden retriever, and he is a beautiful man in our monkey clan, so it is better to call it the Monkey King, how about it?"
The stone monkey said: "Oh, the Monkey King, the Monkey King, okay, this king will be called the Monkey King." ”
All the monkeys shouted, "Monkey King, Monkey King, Monkey King!" Since then, the stone monkey has ascended to the throne of the Monkey King and is known as the Monkey King.
The days of joy and carefree are easy, and more than ten years have passed in the snap of a finger, and the Monkey King looks at the companions around him who used to jump happily in the mountains, and some of them are already drooping and old, and their hands and feet are numb. , and his heart was very uneasy. One day, all the monkeys went to play, and the Monkey King called the white ape to the front of the seat, and said: "White ape, I want to be the natural one of birth, old age, sickness and death, but I don't know if there is a way to live forever, you are knowledgeable, I don't know if you know?" ”
The Monkey King was overjoyed and said, "I don't know which three of them, where do they live?"
The white ape said: "These three are Buddha, immortal, and sacred, all of which are in the Yanfu world, in the ancient cave immortal mountain. ”
The Monkey King said happily: "Okay, then the king of Japan will leave this mountain and go to travel the four continents of the world, be sure to visit these three to learn an immortal immortal, come back and grant you and so on, so that you can also have that immortal life." ”
The white ape said: "Good, if this can be done, I will thank the king for the children and grandchildren in the mountains first." I will set up a bamboo raft for the king early tomorrow morning, and then find some fruits for the king, hoping that the king will return from his studies as soon as possible and gather with us and other monkeys. ”
The next day, the monkeys set down a feast in the water curtain cave to see off the Monkey King, but saw that the stone table was full of melons, fruits, pears and peaches, vegetarian wine, and the monkey king and the monkeys came to the beach surrounded by the monkeys, and the monkeys waved goodbye to the Monkey King with tears in their eyes.
The Monkey King rowed a bamboo raft on the sea and drifted with the sea, so for a few days, suddenly a strong wind arose on the sea and sent him to Nanzhan Buzhou, so he also abandoned the bamboo raft and jumped ashore. This side of the matter is not listed for the time being.
However, it is said that there is a beautiful mountain in a boundary of Naxi Niuhezhou, which is exactly: a thousand peaks open halberd, and ten thousand thousand people open the screen. The sun reflects the light and locks the green, and the rain is cold and green. Withered vines entangle old trees, and the ancient crossing realm is secluded. Strange flowers and grass, bamboo and pine. Cultivating bamboo and pine, evergreen and blessed land; The cry of the bird is near, and the source is clear. Heavy valleys and ravines are surrounded by Zhilan, and everywhere - cliffs and mosses grow. The ups and downs of the dragon vein are good, and there must be a master with an anonymous name. This mountain is called Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, and there is a hidden immortal in this mountain, named Su Bodhi. On this day, Su Bodhi was meditating with his eyes closed on the yaotai, but he saw him dressed in a yellow robe, his hair was like silver threads, and he wore a crown on his head, and he was dressed as a Taoist. He suddenly felt something, and hurriedly shrank his hand into the sleeve of his robe and silently calculated, knowing that one day the spirit monkey would enter the door, and he couldn't help but look happy.
After a while, I suddenly saw the sky rising in the mist, the ceiling scattering colors, and the white cranes crying. Su Bodhi knew that this was the image of the saint's arrival, so panicked that he hurriedly came out of the three-star cave of the oblique moon, and just arrived outside the cave and saw an old man with a crane hair in the middle of the air, which was the Taishang Laojun of the head of the three Qings. Su Bodhi hurriedly bowed respectfully and said, "See Daode Tianzun." I don't know that Tianzun is far away, and I am far away to meet all hopes and forgive my sins. Taishang Laojun said lightly: "Excuse me." ”
Su Bodhi said respectfully: "I don't know why Lao Jun is here?"
Taishang Laojun said: "Bodhi, in a few years, there will be a stone monkey here to seek the Tao, he has a fate with you, you know." ”
Su Bodhi said: "Laojun, the younger generation just pinched his fingers and calculated. ”
Taishang Laojun said: "Well, he is both destined for you and should enter your door, I have a book of Tao Te Ching here for you, this scripture can only be understood when there is a fate to the soul of the blessed, the stone monkey Nuwa left by the colorful fairy stone turned into the stone monkey, there is a great creation in the body, when there is this fate, you but look at how he is blessed, give this scripture to him, it will be of great use in the future." With that, he pointed to the void with one hand, and saw a ball of golden light appear, and then slowly fell into Subodhi's hand.
Su Bodhi said respectfully: "Abide by the decree of the Moral Heavenly Venerable. Taishang Laojun nodded, turned around and drove the auspicious clouds and went straight to the Thirty-Three Heavenly Doushi Palace.
However, it is said that the Monkey King went to the boundary of Nanzhan Buzhou, and wandered here for several years, and the people he saw were all ignorant ordinary people, who only knew how to sing songs every day, or for high-ranking officials, or for money, fame, or worry and sorrow all day long, but none of them were for life and death, let alone immortals, and the Monkey King was very disappointed in his heart.
One day, the Monkey King traveled to the Western Ocean and thought to himself: "I have been wandering in this southern Zhanbu Continent for many years, but I have never found immortals. "He found some wood and bamboo alone and built a bamboo raft, and traveled out of the West Sea to Xiniu Hezhou, and landed on the west bank to search for a long time, but to no avail. One day, before the Monkey King traveled to a high mountain, this mountain was the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, and he went straight up the mountain no matter how dangerous it was.
Su Bodhi in the three-star cave of the slanting moon naturally knew that the stone monkey was coming, so he said to the boy on the side: "There is a stone monkey at the foot of the mountain, it is a person who is destined for me, and you go and lead him here." The boy said respectfully, "Yes," and turned into a white light.
The boy landed halfway up the mountain, and saw a monkey wandering in the mountains, which must be the stone monkey, so he turned around and turned into a woodcutter chopping wood, but saw that he was wearing a hat on his head, wearing a blue cloth coat, carrying a load of dry firewood on his shoulder, holding an axe in his hand and chopping wood, and chopping and chanting: "Watching the chess is rotten, cutting wood Dingding, the cloud side valley mouth Xu Xing, selling salary and wine, laughing wildly 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. ”
The Monkey King was wandering in the mountains, and suddenly he heard someone singing, and when he heard this word, the chanter should be a fairy, and his heart was overjoyed, so he followed the song. When the Monkey King found the person who was singing, he greeted him and said, "Old immortal, the disciple is so polite. ”
