Chapter 240: Wukong
The Monkey King was originally thinking of asking casually, but when he heard that his little brother really had someone know, he suddenly became excited, and hurriedly asked, "That monkey, can you tell me where those great powers live?"
The monkey took two steps back and forth, and said, "Those immortals and Buddhas are all in seclusion, and they can generally see shadows, but I think they are in those ancient cave immortal mountains." ”
Hearing what this monkey said, the Monkey King scratched his ears and cheeks happily, and shouted to a group of younger brothers under his command: "You go and prepare some food for me, build a raft, and then I will go to the ocean to find the method of immortality!"
The monkeys in Huaguo Mountain helped the Monkey King prepare a raft, which was full of all kinds of mountain fruits, and the Monkey King held a long bamboo pole and drifted across the ocean.
Although the Monkey King was born with a different species, he had never seen much of the world, thinking that being on the sea was similar to being in a river, and he could walk with a long bamboo pole.
However, the monkeys finally knew that the sea was much deeper than the river, so they prepared the longest bamboo pole, but even so, after holding out a distance, the bamboo pole in the Monkey King's hand could not reach the end.
The Monkey King was dumbfounded, but he had no choice but to go with the flow and let the raft drift by itself.
Just as the Monkey King was sitting there sighing, a wind suddenly rose on the sea, and this wind was a northwest wind, blowing violently, setting off huge waves.
The raft at the feet of the Monkey King was pushed by the huge waves, and it was speeding towards the southeast, riding the wind and waves. So unhappy, the Monkey King scratched his ears and cheeks excitedly.
This wind is also strange, since it blew, it has not stopped, and such a strong wind has not blown over the Monkey King's raft.
A few days later, the Monkey King's raft was sent to Nanzhan Buzhou by this gust of wind. The Monkey King came ashore from the northeast and entered the bustling Nanzhan Continent.
This Nanzhan Continent can be regarded as a place where mortals thrive, and there are many mortal countries where the Monkey King lives as a monkey. Naturally, it is much less than expected.
But the Monkey King is also one of the four monkeys of heaven and earth. The power it carries is not small, and it has not suffered too much loss.
This Monkey King also snatched a suit of clothes to put on, dressed up like a human, and also learned the language and writing of the human race. It's also a literate monkey.
I have been in the South Zhanbu Continent for a year. The Monkey King crossed the entire Nanzhan Continent. Coming to the west of Nanzhan Buzhou, looking at the vast sea in front of him, the Monkey King decided to move on.
I have been in the South Zhanbu Continent for so many years. The Monkey King can also be regarded as understanding that these ordinary human races are inferior to him, let alone immortal.
The Monkey King set up a raft himself, and once again went out to sea on a raft, but this time he didn't take a bamboo pole, but a oar, and finally gained some knowledge.
Not long after the Monkey King went to sea, that gust of wind appeared again, blowing more violently than the last time, and took the Monkey King to Xiniu Hezhou steadily.
Xiniu Hezhou is much more sparsely populated, but there are still some countries. The monkey learned wisely this time, and did not go to the world, but only jumped in the deep mountains and old forests. Fortunately, he was born with a different species, and the tigers, leopards and beasts were not his opponents, otherwise they would have become the belly of the beasts.
On this day, the Monkey King was walking in the mountains and forests, and suddenly heard a burst of singing, the tune was clear, the meaning of the words was mysterious, and there was a fairy spirit when I heard it.
The Monkey King followed the song and found a professional guide, the woodcutter. When the Monkey King saw the woodcutter, he didn't say anything, he bowed his head and shouted, "Old fairy, the disciple is polite!"
Although this woodcutter doesn't look very old, the Monkey King has heard that the faces of those who are truly enlightened among the immortals will not change.
When the woodcutter saw the Monkey King who suddenly jumped out, he was startled at first, and then he knew in his heart, this should be the monkey who the old fairy confessed and let him show him the way, right?
Then the woodcutter talked to the Monkey King, pointed him out a path, and told him that there was a real old fairy there.
The Monkey King followed the path pointed out by the woodcutter, all the way forward, and after walking for a while, he saw a cave house, which appeared in front of him, and there was a large stone tablet standing in front of the cave house, which read "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Leaning Moon Three Star Cave".
Looking at the closed door, the Monkey King hesitated for a few moments, and finally didn't dare to come forward and knock on the door, just sat on the pine tree at the entrance of the cave, grabbed a few pine nuts and tossed them up and down.
When the monkey arrived, the Bodhi Ancestor, who was preaching to his disciples in the cave mansion, showed a knowing smile on his face, and instructed the boy who was accompanying him: "There is a seeker outside, go and greet it!"
Hearing the instructions of the Bodhi Ancestor, the boy next to him was full of curiosity, and he didn't know what his origin was.
Although the boy was puzzled, he didn't dare to slow down his movements by half a minute, and hurriedly walked out of the dojo, opened the door of the cave, and walked out.
The boy cried out, "Which one has come to seek the truth?"
When the Monkey King heard this, he hurriedly jumped down from the pine tree and replied in a loud voice, "It's me, it's me!"
The boy looked the monkey up and down a few times, but he didn't see anything special, and said to him, "Come in with me!" As he spoke, the boy entered the cave, and the Monkey King hurriedly followed behind him and entered the cave together.
Through the door, the Monkey King followed the boy to a large courtyard, the floor of this courtyard is all paved with white stone, white as jade, looking very solemn.
There is a jade platform in front of it, on which sits an old Taoist priest, with white hair and white beard, thin cheeks, and the appearance of a fairy wind and bones.
Seeing that the boy had brought the Monkey King in, Bodhi Ancestor's face showed a heartfelt smile. When the Monkey King saw the Bodhi Ancestor, he bowed his head and bowed, and said in a loud voice: "Master, Master, the disciple is dedicated to the Tao, and I hope that the master will take it in!"
Bodhi Ancestor put away his smile, looked at the Monkey King kneeling below with an indifferent face, and asked, "Where are you from?"
"The disciple is Dongsheng Shenzhou, Aolai Country, Huaguo, Mountain Water Curtain Cave Clan. Because of his single-mindedness to the Tao, he went out to sea by boat to find the immortals!" said the Monkey King honestly.
"Nonsense! Then Dongsheng Shenzhou and my West Niuhe Continent are not known how many thousands of miles away, and you don't have any cultivation on you, how can you get here?" asked Bodhi Ancestor knowingly.
Hearing Bodhi Ancestor say this, the Monkey King was anxious and hurriedly explained: "The disciple has been wandering outside for more than ten years, and it is not until today that he has found the master!"
Hearing Sun Wukong's answer, the Bodhi Ancestor who started to make ghosts no longer said anything. Just ask his last name.
The Monkey King didn't know if he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, so he said that he was characterless, and when people scolded him, he was not annoyed, and he was not angry when people beat him.
The Bodhi Ancestor, who has been paying attention to his growth, naturally knows the character of the Monkey King, and knows that he was talking nonsense with his eyes open just now, but he doesn't break it.
Bodhi Ancestor inquired again, and finally quoted the scriptures to give the Monkey King a surname, surnamed Sun, plus a name Wukong, and the name of the Monkey King came out like this.
got a name, and Sun Wukong was also very happy. Since then, this Monkey King has also returned to the disciple of Bodhi Ancestor and began his cultivation path.
At first, Bodhi Ancestor didn't teach Sun Wukong anything, but just asked him to chop wood to light a fire and clean the courtyard. This trick was also used by Yu Yuan back then, but he just asked Yuan Hong to take care of Yang Jian and meditate quietly.
Their purpose is to calm the hearts of the disciples, this is the least to lock the heart ape, the monkey's heart is the most moving, if you don't calm down, everything you teach is in vain.
After Sun Wukong chopped firewood for seven years, Bodhi Ancestor saw that the time was almost up, and began to open the altar to preach, Sun Wukong was born with a different species, and his understanding was extremely high, just listening to it for a while, he felt the mystery of it, and couldn't help but scratch his ears and cheeks happily.
Bodhi Ancestor originally opened the altar to preach for Sun Wukong, and when he first started listening, he seemed to have an understanding, and he was also amazed in his heart.
Bodhi Ancestor interrupted his sermon and asked Sun Wukong about the four doors of "Flowing Quiet" and asked him which one he was willing to learn. Sun Wukong picks left and right, all dissatisfied.
reprimanded Sun Wukong, Bodhi Ancestor hit Sun Wukong's head three times with a ring ruler, and then walked into the backyard with his hands behind his back and closed the courtyard door.
Sun Wukong was also clear-minded, and immediately understood the meaning of Bodhi Ancestor. The fellow disciples next to him were all there to complain about Sun Wukong, saying that he shouldn't be so presumptuous, and his faces were full of disgust and disgust.
Sun Wukong's face was accompanied by a smile, and he didn't talk back, but he sneered in his heart: "This group of pickled goods, they know what it means to seek the Tao and what it means to seek the truth, they eat and wait for death one by one, they don't know the way to immortality, and they won't live for two more years, and they won't turn into ashes in the future!"
That night, Sun Wukong entered the room of the Bodhi Ancestor through the back door, stood in front of the bed of the Bodhi Ancestor, and then ...... He knelt down and said to the ancestor: "The disciple came as promised, and I hope that the master can pass on the method of immortality!"
Bodhi Ancestor, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, opened his eyes when he heard this, looked at Sun Wukong kneeling in front of him, nodded slightly, and said: "Since you can guess what I mean, this is also your chance, I will pass on to you the method of immortality!"
Bodhi Ancestor opened his mouth and told Sun Wukong about the Xuangong in detail, and Sun Wukong heard these exquisite tricks, secretly remembered them in his mind, and comprehended them carefully.
It's just that the Xuangong method mentioned by the Bodhi Ancestor has hidden the part of cultivating the seventy-two supernatural powers, and only taught the basic cultivation method.
The monkey is very active, and the Bodhi Ancestor is afraid that after the seventy-two changes of Sun Wukong, he will only care about cultivating this, and forget to cultivate the fundamentals. (To be continued.) )
