Chapter 36: "The Monkey King went west to find immortality, and if he came to transform into a mortal"

The stone monkey who became the leader was named the Monkey King, and he lived happily all day long, and he didn't realize it for more than 300 years.

One day, if the black and white impermanence of the life was entrusted to the Monkey King, pretending to drag it away, the Monkey King woke up in his dream, recalled the situation in the dream, couldn't help but be frightened, and shed tears.

An old monkey stepped forward and said to the stone monkey, "King, why are you crying?"

The Monkey King said, "Although I am happy, I have a little foresight, so I am troubled. ”

The monkeys laughed and said: "The king is so dissatisfied! I will wait for the day and day party, in the blessed land of the Immortal Mountain, the ancient cave Divine Continent, not under the jurisdiction of the Qilin, not under the control of the phoenix, and not under the restraint of the king of the people, free and easy, it is an immeasurable blessing, why worry about it from afar?"

The Monkey King said: "Although today is not under the law of the king of men, and is not afraid of the power of birds and beasts, in the future, old age and blood decay, there is the king of Hades in the dark, once he dies, he will not be born in vain in the world, and he will not be in the heavens and men for a long time?"

When the monkeys heard this, they hid their faces one by one and cried sadly, all worried about impermanence.

I saw that in the group of monkeys, a topped-backed ape suddenly jumped out, and shouted loudly: "If the king is so far-sighted, it is really the so-called Dao heart development! Now among the five insects, there is only a third-class name, and it is not under the control of Laozi, the king of Hades." ”

The Monkey King said, "Do you know those third-class people?"

The ape said: "It is the Buddha, the immortal and the sacred, who have escaped reincarnation, are immortal and immortal, and live with the heavens, earth, mountains and rivers." ”

The Monkey King said, "Where do these three live?"

The ape said: "He is only in the Yanfu world, in the ancient cave immortal mountain. ”

When the Monkey King heard this, he was full of joy and said: "I will leave you tomorrow and wait to go down the mountain, travel to the cape, and travel to the end of the world. ”

With these words, the Monkey King jumped out of the reincarnation net, causing the Monkey King to become a saint.

All the monkeys applauded and praised, and they all said: "Good, good! I will cross the mountains tomorrow to climb the mountain, look for some fruits, and set up a feast to send the king." ”

The next day, the monkey fruit went to pick the fairy peach, picked the strange fruit, shaved yam, Erhuang essence, Zhilan Xianghui, Yao grass and strange flowers, all the pieces, neatly and neatly, set up the stone bench and stone table, and arranged the fairy wine and fairy food.

I saw thatβ€”

Gold pill beads, red bloom yellow fat, gold pill beads play cherries, the color is really luscious. Red blooming yellow fat ripe plum, fruity and sour.

Fresh longan, sweet meat and thin skin. Fire lychee, small sac red core. Lin Yu Bishi even branches, loquat buds with leaves.

Rabbit head pears and chicken heart dates, quench thirst and relieve annoyance.

The peach is rotten and the apricot, and the beauty is sweet and sweet like jade liquid.

Crispy plum bayberry, sour shade like fat pastry cheese.

Ripe watermelon with red sac black seeds, four-petaled yellow-skinned persimmon.

The pomegranate is cracked, and the dansha grains are fire crystal beads.

The taro chestnut is cut open, and the hard flesh is golden agate.

Walnut and ginkgo biloba can be passed on to tea, and coconut grapes can be used to make wine.

Hazel pine and cinnamon are full of plates, and orange cane oranges are full of oranges.

Simmered yam and boiled yellow essence. Mash the poria cocos and coix coix, and cook the soup in a stone pot over a slight fire.

Even if there is a taste of shame in the world, how can it be more peaceful than the mountain monkey!

The group of monkeys sat on the Monkey King, each lined up on the lower side according to their teeth, and took turns to come forward to serve wine, flowers and fruits, and drank for a day.

The next day, the Monkey King got up early and said, "Little ones, fold some dead pines for me, make a raft, take a bamboo pole to make a penny, and collect some fruits, and I will go." ”

Guo boarded the raft alone, tried his best to hold it out, fluttered, and went straight to the waves of the sea, taking advantage of the wind to cross the boundary of the southern Ganbu Continent.

This time, that's exactly that-

The natural fairy monkey road is long, and the raft from the mountain takes advantage of the wind.

Drift across the sea to find the fairy road, determined to devote himself to great achievements.

There is a fate to rest the common wish, carefree will be Yuanlong.

It is expected that you will meet a bosom friend, and say that there are thousands of ways to break through the source.

It was also when he arrived, and since he boarded the raft, the southeast wind was tight for several days, and he was sent to the northwest shore, which was the boundary of the southern Ganbu continent.

He tested the water with a penny, and occasionally found shallow water, abandoned the raft, and jumped ashore. I saw people fishing on the beach, hunting geese, clams, and panning for salt.

When the Monkey King approached, he made a trick and put on a tiger, so that the people threw their baskets and abandoned their nets and ran in all directions.

He grabbed one of the people who couldn't run, stripped him of his clothes, and learned to wear them on his body, swaying, passing through the state, and in the market, learning to be courteous and to learn words.

Eat and stay overnight, visit the sacred way of the Buddha and immortals in one heart, and find a way to live forever.

Seeing that all the people of the world are for the sake of fame and profit, and there is no one who lives for the sake of life, it is thatβ€”

When will you rest in the race for fame and fortune? Wake up early and sleep late is not free.

Riding a donkey, a mule, and a horse, the prime minister of the official residence looked at the prince.

is only worried about food and clothing, so why not be afraid that Yan Jun will take the hook.

The stepson is rich and noble, and none of them are willing to turn back.

The Monkey King visited the fairy road, and had no chance to meet, in the south of the province, the Great Wall, and the small county, and did not feel it for more than eight or nine years.

Suddenly traveling to the Western Sea, he thought that there must be immortals overseas, so he made a raft alone, and floated across the West Sea until the boundary of Xiniu Hezhou.

When I landed on the shore for a long time, I suddenly saw a beautiful mountain and a deep forest.

He is not afraid of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, and climbs to the top of the mountain to watch.

The fruit is a good mountain: "Thousands of peaks open halberds, ten thousand thousand open screens." ”

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. The valleys are surrounded by Zhilan, and the cliffs are mossy everywhere.

The ups and downs of the dragon vein are good, and there must be a master with an anonymous name.

After many years, the stone monkey who had gone through a lot of hardships finally came to the vicinity of Bodhi's practice under the continuous traction of people secretly sent by Rulai.

I was looking at the room, and suddenly heard someone talking in the depths of the forest, and the stone monkey hurriedly went, penetrated into the forest, and listened to it, which turned out to be the sound of singing.

The song said: "Watching chess is rotten, logging Ding Ding, Xu Xing in the valley of the clouds, selling salaries and wine, laughing 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. ”

When the Monkey King heard this, he said with joy, "The gods are hiding here!"

Hurriedly jumped inside, and looked closely, it turned out to be a woodcutter, where he was holding an axe and chopping wood.

But looking at his dress very much: "It is wearing a hat on his head, which is the seed of the new bamboo shoots." He wears cloth garments, which are woven from cotton. The waist is tied with a ring, which is the silk of the old silkworm's mouth. Stepping on the grass is the coolness of withered sand. Holding a steel axe in his hand, he is holding a hemp rope. Pull loose and split dead trees, compete for this woodwork energy!"

The Monkey King approached and shouted, "Old Immortal! ”

The woodcutter hurriedly threw away his axe, turned around and replied: "Not a person! Not a person! I am a clumsy man with insufficient food and clothing, how dare I be a 'god'?"

The Monkey King said: "You are not an immortal, how can you say the words of a fairy?"

The woodcutter said, "What kind of fairy words do I say?"

The Monkey King said: "I just came to the edge of the forest, and I only heard you say: 'When you meet, you are not immortals, and you sit quietly and talk about the Yellow Garden.'" 'Huang Ting is a moral mantra, what is it if he is not an immortal?'

The woodcutter smiled: "I won't tell you the truth, this word is full of Tingfang, and it was taught to me by an immortal." The fairy is next to me. When he saw that I was working hard in my household affairs and my daily troubles, he taught me to recite these words when I encountered troubles. One is to distract oneself, and the other is to solve difficulties. I have some inadequate thoughts, so I think about it. I don't want to be listened to by you. ”

The Monkey King said: "Since your family is adjacent to the immortals, why don't you learn from him to practice?

The woodcutter said: "I have a hard life, I was raised by my parents until I was eight or nine years old, and I didn't know what to do, unfortunately my father was lost, and my mother was widowed. There are no more brothers and sisters, just me, I didn't expect to serve sooner or later. Now the old mother does not dare to leave. However, the countryside was barren, and there was not enough food and clothing, so he had to cut two bundles of firewood, pick up a few pennies and buy a few liters of rice between the dust, cook his own food, arrange some tea and rice, and provide for his old mother, so he could not practice. ”

The Monkey King said: "According to you, you are a gentleman who practices filial piety, and there will be benefits in the future." But I hope you will point me to the abode of the gods, but I will visit it. ”

The woodcutter said, "Not far, not far." This mountain is called Lingtai Fangcun Mountain. There is a three-star cave in the mountain. There was an immortal in that cave named Patriarch Subodhi. There are countless disciples of the patriarch who went out, and I see that there are still thirty or forty people who have practiced from him. You follow that path, and go seven or eight miles south, and you will be his house. ”

The Monkey King grabbed the woodcutter by his hand and said, "Brother, you will go with me." If you have regained, you will never forget your guidance. ”

The woodcutter said, "You man, you are very immutable. If I go with you, but I don't miss my business? Who will support my mother? I want to chop firewood, and you will go by yourself. ”

After carefully seeing the stone monkey, Rulai was very satisfied, and after guiding the stone monkey, he went to Bodhi's place and came to Bodhi's place, and said to Bodhi: "I have seen that stone monkey, which has spirituality and is born with a fairy body, which is very pleasing to my heart." ”

Bodhi nodded.

Rulai suddenly remembered something, and asked, "What kind of skills are Brother Dao going to teach him?" ”

Bodhi said, "I want to teach him martial arts, change and the art of escape. ”

Rulai nodded, and then he was about to say something, Bodhi already knew Rulai's thoughts, and said: "Don't worry, these spells I taught him belong to the methods that I already have a special way to deal with and resolve them, and I will also teach you, and when necessary, you can surrender him." ”

If you come to listen to Bodhi say this, and Bodhi looked at each other and smiled, no longer ask, to Bodhi salute, the two of them said less, such as to get up to say goodbye to Bodhi and go back to Lingshan, but when parting, I only heard one or two cicadas, but I didn't care.
