Chapter 7 The Night Teaching of the Divine Power and the True Path

It is said that the Monkey King greeted the woodcutter turned into a boy and said, "Old fairy, the disciple is polite." The boy smiled secretly in his heart, but hurriedly said: "Hey, little brother, I am a woodcutter who chops wood, and I barely get three meals by chopping wood every day, how can I be worthy of the word fairy, don't be like this, don't be like this." ”

The Monkey King said suspiciously: "If my brother is not an immortal, how can he say the words of a fairy?"

The boy smiled and said: "Oh, you mean this song, to be honest, this song is indeed taught to me by a fairy, the fairy is adjacent to my home, he saw that I was sad every day and taught me this song, so that I can collect firewood on the mountain every day, go down the mountain to change rice, if I encounter the sorrow in my heart, I will sing it one or two, and the sorrow in my heart can be solved." ”

The Monkey King was overjoyed and asked, "Then dare to ask my brother, where does the immortal live?"

The boy said: "Not far, this mountain is Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, you go straight from here, and you can see a three-star cave with a slanting moon for seven or eight miles." The immortal's name is Su Bodhi Ancestor, but he accepts disciples but depends on fate, if you want to worship him but it depends on your chance. ”

The Monkey King said: "Brother, why don't you and I go together, how about it?" Tong Zixin said: "The master only asked me to lead him up the mountain, but I didn't want to take him directly." So he said

"This is not possible, it is not early at this time, but I still have to go down the mountain to change rice, so you can go yourself." The Monkey King was helpless, so he jumped up the mountain alone. When the boy saw the Monkey King walking away, he returned to his original body, turned into a white light and returned to the three-star cave of the slanting moon.

The Monkey King traveled for a few hours to the three-star cave of the oblique moon, but see here: the smoke and haze are scattered, and the sun and moon are shaking. Thousands of old cypresses, ten thousand knots to repair the fence. Thousands of old cypresses, with rain in the middle of the sky, green and rising; ten thousand festivals are repaired, containing smoke and a ravine. Strange flowers outside the door, the grass by the bridge is fragrant. The stone cliff is abrupt and mossy, and the hanging wall is high and green and long. When I hear the cranes, I see the phoenix soaring. When the crane is chirping, the sound vibrates in the sky and the sky is far away, and the phoenix soars, and the feathers are colorful and cloudy. The white deer of the ape is hidden, and the golden lion and jade elephant are hidden. There are several quaint handwriting engraved on the wall, exactly: "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Leaning Moon Three Star Cave" The Monkey King stepped forward and knocked on the stone door a few times, the stone door was opened, and a boy walked out of the door, but he was about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a plain white robe, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but it was the boy who went down the mountain to guide the Monkey King. When the boy saw the Monkey King, he pretended not to know it, and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" The Monkey King said, "Fairy Child, I have come here because I heard that there is an old fairy here, and I have come here to seek the Tao." ”

The boy said, "In that case, you can come with me." The Monkey King was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed the boy into the three-star cave of the oblique moon.

Enter the cave, cross the stone bridge, step on the stone steps, walk to the bottom of the Yaotai, and see a person sitting on the platform, there are more than a dozen disciples on both sides, it is the patriarch of Su Bodhi. The Monkey King hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Master, Master, disciple will bow to his heart!" Su Bodhi saw that this monkey was very clever, and couldn't help but praise in his heart: "It is indeed worthy of the Lingming Stone Monkey bred by heaven and earth!" So he said: "Monkey, where did you come from, you can have a name, and it is not too late to come and worship again." The Monkey King said: "Master, it was born from the bursting of the colorful fairy stones of Huaguo Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou, so there is no name and no surname." Su Bodhi said: "In this way, you are a spirit monkey born in heaven and earth, I see that your walking posture is just like a monkey picking up pine cones, and hide the beast character next to the word cattle, so I will teach you to be surnamed Sun, how about it?"

The Monkey King said: "Master Xie, it's just that if you have a surname, Master Nalao will give you another name, and you can call it in the future." ”

Su Bodhi said: "There are twelve words in my door, which are: wide, great, wisdom, wisdom, truth, such as, sex, sea, introduction, enlightenment, circle, and enlightenment.

The Monkey King was so happy that he scratched his ears and cheeks and jumped up and down, and said again and again: "Sun Wukong! Sun Wukong! I will be called Sun Wukong from today on!" Su Bodhi also had a smile on his face, but he knew that although it was a good thing that the Lingming Stone Monkey Sun Wukong had a great creation, it also attracted the attention of some forces between heaven and earth to his body, and the road ahead was probably difficult, so he also sighed in his heart.

Since then, Wukong practiced in the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, listened to the sermon of Su Bodhi in the three-star cave of the oblique moon with all the senior brothers every day, and in his spare time or went up the mountain to play with everyone to play or meditate in the courtyard, but he was also very comfortable and free, Wukong was the monkey genus who liked it the most, and gradually put the idea of immortality aside.

One day, Patriarch Su Bodhi was preaching on the stage, exactly: the heavenly maiden scattered flowers, the earth swelled golden lotus, the words were true, and the sentences were mysterious. All the disciples under the seat are in a state of meditation with their eyes closed, and they are talking about the wonders, Wukong heard some understanding, and was happy for a while, so he jumped up from the futon, danced with his hands, scratched his ears and cheeks, and the patriarch of Su Bodhi saw it, and stopped Wukong and said: "Wukong, why don't you listen to the lecture well?" Wukong hurriedly stopped his body and said to Su Bodhi: "Master, the disciple listened to your preaching, and suddenly heard the subtleties, so it is so, and I ask the master to forgive the sin." ”

Su Bodhi said: "Wukong, you have been under my door for seven years, when you first entered the door, you said that you want to seek the Tao, and now that you know my wonderful sound, I will ask you, what do you want to learn?" Wukong hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "Master, the disciple should learn the way of immortality, and ask the master to be merciful to teach the disciple the way of immortality, so that the disciple can get rid of the suffering of the cycle of life and death, and the disciple will always remember the great grace of the master." Su Bodhi said: "The cycle of life and death is the number of days, and there is no way to live forever in the world. Would you like to learn other ways to teach you the Dharma?"

Wukong said: "There is no way to live forever, there is no way to live forever, what is the use of learning." Su Bodhi said angrily: "Presumptuous, Wukong, you come here." Wukong knew that he had lost his words, and he was terrified in his heart, so he knelt down in front of the Nasu Bodhi seat and said, "Disciple lost his words, please forgive your sins." ”

Su Bodhi didn't say a word, only took out the ring ruler and hit Wukong on the top of his head three times, and then turned into a phantom and disappeared. When the disciples in the audience saw that the master was gone, they were very angry in their hearts, and they all pointed at Wukong and scolded: "You cunning, this time you really annoyed the master!" Wukong didn't pay attention to it, and only quietly pondered the meaning of Su Bodhi's three precepts, he knew that it was definitely not that simple, just because Wukong answered that sentence, but he didn't see Su Bodhi's face was very angry, and only hit him three times with the precept ruler, so there must be another mystery in this. He pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he turned around and went into the back compartment.

At the third watch of the night, the moonlight was bright, and a little silver ash was sprinkled into the house from the window. Wukong got up from the couch, saw that all the senior brothers were sleeping very deeply, so he put on his robe, went out of the door and saw that the master's room was still brightly lit, and knew that his guess was true, so he boldly went to the Su Bodhi room, gently pushed the door of the house, entered the house and knelt under the Su Bodhi bed, but he did not dare to make a sound, for fear of alarming the master.

After a while, Su Bodhi suddenly said in his mouth: "Difficult! difficult! difficult! The Tao is the most mysterious, don't wait for Jin Dan to be idle." If you don't meet someone to pass on the trick, empty words and dry tongue!" I was afraid to hurriedly say: "Master, the disciple has been waiting for a long time. Su Bodhi said: "Wukong, you don't sleep in front, but what are you doing here?" Wukong said: "It's just because the master hits the disciple three times during the day, and the disciple thinks that the master must want the disciple to come to the third watch tonight, avoid the six ears, and then pass on my Taoism, so the disciple came to see the master late at night, hoping that the master will be merciful and teach the disciple the way of eternal life." ”

Subodhi said, "You know my mind, and you are also very wise. Come, then, and I grant thee the way of eternal life. Wukong hurriedly leaned forward to listen carefully, and listened to Su Bodhi's words: "The secret of revealing the secret circle is really wonderful, and there is no one to say about cultivating life." They are always energetic, and they are careful to hide and leak. Hugh leaks, the body is hidden, and you are preached by me. The mantra is more beneficial to memorize, and it is cool to eliminate evil desires. It has to be cool, bright and clean, so that you can enjoy the bright moon in Dantai. The moon hides the jade rabbit and the day hides the black, and there are turtles and snakes coiled together. The phase is coiled, and the life is strong, but it can plant golden lotus in the fire. The five elements of the cluster are used upside down, and the work is completed with the Buddha and the immortal. Wukong silently remembered in his heart. Suddenly, Su Bodhi said: "As a teacher, there are two ways to avoid the three disasters, are you willing to learn?" Wukong said: "I am willing to learn! I am willing to learn, but I don't know which two methods?" Su Bodhi said: "One is the thirty-six changes of Tiangang, this method is also easy to learn, and the other is the seventy-two changes of the earth, but it is difficult." Wukong said: "The disciple is willing to learn the art of the earth." Su Bodhi explained the Tiangang technique and the earth shattering technique in detail. Wukong asked again: "Master, the disciple thinks that this Tiangang technique seems to be stronger than the Earth Evil Technique, why does Master say that the Earth Evil Technique is difficult to compete with the Tiangang Technique?"

Su Bodhi said: "How do you know, this Tiangang technique seems to be stronger than the earth evil technique, but in fact, it is the courage of the horseman, but the earth evil technique is not, the so-called avenue is invisible, just like this earth evil technique, if the Tao is high enough, refining this method to the furnace is perfect, it is immeasurable, is it comparable to the Tiangang technique?" Wukong was dumbfounded when he heard this, so he kowtowed to Su Bodhi and said, "Thank you, Master, for your great kindness!"

Subodhi took out something from his sleeve, but when he saw that it was wrapped in a golden halo, he couldn't see what it was. Su Bodhi snorted softly: "Go." The thing flew lightly to Wukong's Mud Pill Palace, like a mud cow entering the sea, and disappeared in a moment. I heard Subodhi say, "This thing will be of great benefit to your future cultivation, and you will naturally know what it is in the future." Wukong was going to ask, but when he heard that it was beneficial to him, he naturally didn't need to ask more, so he thanked Su Bodhi at the moment and went down to cultivate.

To find out what's next, listen to the next breakdown.
