Chapter 5 The Little Stone Monkey Comprehends Life and Death

It is said that the colorful fairy stone of Huaguo Mountain exploded, producing a stone monkey that shook the earth, the Jade Emperor did not care, and the saints naturally knew that the stone monkey was born but had their own plans. Nuwa Niangniang is happy, and the stone monkey is from the colorful fairy stones, just like the son of Nuwa Niangniang. At this time, the three Qings all gathered in the Tushi Palace to discuss matters.

I listened to the master of Tongtian Sect: "The Buddha realm is now in charge of Rulai, he has been restless in recent years, and wants to introduce Buddhism into the Nanzhan Continent to compete with my Taoist sect for luck, and now this stone monkey is born just in line with his heart, alas." ”

This is like this, in the past, the disciple of the master of the Tongtian Sect, Duobao Taoist, betrayed Taoism and joined Buddhism when he became the god of the West Shakyamuni Buddha, later

The Western Ani Buddha and Zhun Ti because they wanted to concentrate on understanding the way of the wheel of the holy king, and had no time to take care of other things, so they handed over the affairs of Buddhism to the big disciple of Ani Buddha Rulai, who was originally a Taoist disciple and now has entered Buddhism. But how can the thoughts of the Buddha be concealed from the saints,

At this time, the stone monkey was born, this stone monkey has a great creation and has some fate with Buddhism, Sanqing is afraid to use this stone monkey and Taoism

Competing for luck, so the three of them gathered in the Tushi Palace to discuss. As they thought, they naturally knew that it was only beneficial to the Buddha, so they did not make any moves.

Lao Tzu heard the Tongtian Sect Master say this, and couldn't help but sigh that the Tongtian Sect Master's temperament was too impatient, so he said: "Tongtian Senior Brother is not right, the way of heaven is impermanent, and the number of days is changeable. ”

Tongtian Sect Master said: "What Senior Brother said is very true, but at this time, the stone monkey has been born, what should we do?"

Lao Tzu said: "Everything has its own fixed number, if Buddhism is prosperous, we are powerless to stop it, we can only wait and see what happens." ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun said: "Good, we only know that Rulai has this thought at this time, but he has not made any moves, and we can only wait and see what happens." ”

This matter will not be listed for the time being.

But it is said that Dongsheng Shenzhou Huaguo Mountain boundary. The stone monkey jumped out of the fairy stone, he was ignorant, and only leaned over to drink water by the stream, and the group of monkeys in the mountain hid for a long time and felt that the mountain gradually returned to calm, and a few of them were bold, poked their heads out, and saw a golden-haired ape drinking water over there, which must have been born in the fairy stone, and saw that it was the same kind of natural fear, so he called other monkeys to gather together and walked out timidly, and stopped at a distance from the stone monkey. The so-called birds have birds and beasts have beast words, just listen to a white ape in the group of monkeys and say to a black-haired but very majestic ape next to him: "King, why don't you let me go forward to find out the good fortune first." "It turns out that this black-haired ape is the monkey king. I heard the monkey king say, "Okay, then you should be careful." The white ape said, "Yes, my lord." ”

So the white ape boldly walked behind the stone monkey and patted the stone monkey on the shoulder, the stone monkey turned his head, and the white ape was so frightened that he quickly jumped away, but when he saw the stone monkey scratching his ears and cheeks, he only looked at him with confused eyes, and there was no hostility, so he reached into his arms, took out a bright red peach from his arms and threw it to the stone monkey, and shouted, "Eat, it's delicious." The stone monkey put the peach in his mouth and took a bite, and the flesh of the fruit entered his mouth, and a sweet taste overflowed his mouth, and the stone monkey was so happy that he scratched his ears and cheeks and jumped up and down. The white ape saw that the stone monkey was lively and not hostile, and when he was happy, he led him to meet the monkey king.

The white ape led the stone monkey to the Monkey King, and said to the Monkey King, "My Lord, this stone monkey is very clever and well-behaved, can you include him in the monkey clan?" The Monkey King looked at the stone monkey, and he saw that the stone monkey's face was full of innocence and ignorance, and he felt pity, so he said, "Well, okay, then let's give him a name." ”

At this time, I only heard the white ape say: "King, this monkey jumped out of the stone, I think it is better to call him the little stone monkey." ”

The Monkey King said, "Okay, then from now on, we will call him Little Stone Monkey." All the monkeys shouted: "Stone monkey, stone monkey...... "Stone monkey" kept smiling and scratching his ears and cheeks, but did not say anything. Since then, the little stone monkey has been taken in by the monkey family.

The stone monkey is very happy in the monkey clan every day, or in the mountains and forests, jumping and picking fruits to eat, or playing with the monkeys, it is extremely comfortable, and unconsciously several spring and autumn have passed, and the monkey king is already dying of old age. On this day, the monkeys gather together, either to eat fruit or to hang on the tree sticks. Suddenly, a black-haired monkey fell from the tree, all the monkeys were shocked, the original noisy sound stopped abruptly, and all the monkeys hurriedly gathered around, and saw that the monkey who fell from the tree was the monkey king.

The white ape pounced in front of the monkey king and helped the monkey king up, but seeing that the monkey king's pale face was pale, his eyes were closed, his hands were drooping, and the white ape's body trembled, and he carefully put his hand in front of the monkey king's nose for a trial, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he whimpered and said to the monkeys: "The king, he ...... He...... He's dead. When the monkeys heard this, they were immediately full of grief, and the sound of crying and wailing was endless, but only the little stone monkey had not been born or died, and did not understand what had happened. He walked over and patted the white ape gently, and asked quietly, "White ape, what's wrong with everyone, why are you so miserable?" The white ape looked at the little stone monkey, his eyes were full of sadness, and he said with a crying voice: "The king...... He's dead. "Death, what is death?" asked the little stone monkey suspiciously. The white ape sighed and said, "Death, that is, we can no longer speak, no longer move, no longer eat fruit, we will never see him again." The little stone monkey suddenly felt that a feeling of sadness that had never been felt before filled his still naΓ―ve and ignorant heart, and he couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

The monkey king died, the monkeys were naturally extremely sad, but after all, they were all monkeys, and after more than ten days, the grief gradually dissipated, and they returned to their former liveliness, only the little stone monkey has been immersed in the confusion of life, he didn't understand why the monkey king died, why

will die. One day, the weather was hot, and all the monkeys bathed in the stream, the water was crystal clear, and the sunlight shone on the water of the stream and reflected on the rocks on the side to form a little spot of light. The little stone monkey squatted on the rock silently, silent.

The white ape seemed to see that the stone monkey had something on his mind, so he stepped forward and said to the stone monkey: "Little stone monkey, the monkey king has been dead for many days, why are you so sad?" The stone monkey said: "White ape, I just can't figure out why there is life and death, and why all things can't exist forever." The white ape said, "If you can't figure it out, you don't want to think about it for the time being, but now happiness is the most important thing, so why bother thinking about it? So he also jumped into the water and swam and frolicked with the monkeys.

After swimming for a while, a monkey suddenly said: "Today's weather is hot and there is nothing to do, why don't we wait and swim along this stream to find a source to come out, what do you think?" All the monkeys agreed, so they all called men and women to pull friends and swim together. To the source, there is a waterfall and a flying spring, which is exactly that: a white rainbow rises, a thousand snow waves fly, the sea breeze blows continuously, and the river and the moon shine still. The air conditioner is divided into green mountains, and the remaining stream is moist and green, and the waterfall is really like a curtain curtain.

When all the monkeys saw this water, they all praised, "What a good water!" and another monkey said, "This water is good, but I have lived in this mountain for many years, but I don't know how deep the water behind this waterfall is." The monkey king is dead, we can't wait without an owner, why don't we see which one has the ability, and if he gets into the waterfall and comes out without injury, we will worship him as the king, how about it?" all the monkeys said: "Okay, good." ”

All the monkeys wanted to try it, but when they saw the water of the waterfall falling straight down from above, they were timid, and they retreated before they walked to the waterfall one by one. At this time, a voice was heard shouting, "I'll go, I'll go." It was the stone monkey who spoke. When the monkeys saw that the stone monkeys were going to try, they gave up an open space. Then I saw the stone monkey pier, driving his feet, jumped up, and jumped into the waterfall as fast as lightning.

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