Chapter 13 [Return to the Painting] Revised Edition
At the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, two butterflies dance in the shade of willow trees. A fresh breeze blows www.biquge.info the scent of flowers blows in the face, and butterflies rush to the sunny peach grove. The willow branches sway lightly with the wind, the catkins are flying, and now it is the time when the peach blossoms compete in the spring and March.
There are no cicadas, no apes, no cranes and deer. The only thing left is a line of egrets soaring above the clouds.
In an inconspicuous protrusion of the rock face, a bird is staring cautiously at the strange pile of dead yellow deciduous bushes beneath the fault.
These dead leaves, which should not have appeared in this season, are gradually piling up into a large pile of fallen leaves by some kind of organism. Just as the bird moved its paws, ready to step forward to take a good look at what animal was hiding in the fallen leaves, an inexplicable force pulled the bird into the sky.
On the top of the Five Elements Mountain, a white-haired old man wearing a brocade Taoist robe, was sitting on the clouds and meditating quietly at the moment, and in his palm was the bird that had just rested on the broken rock.
"Ah, help. The bird fluttered its wings, and after realizing that it was not harmed, it suddenly dawned on him, "I can actually spit out words." It seems that I met an immortal today, otherwise how could I speak. ”
"Go ahead, do whatever you want, fly freely, or travel the world. The place you just stayed in is not what you should be staying. The white-haired old man stroked his beard, and with a wave of his hand, the bird disappeared from his palm, as if it had never appeared.
"Taishang Lao'er, what did you do to that bird!" A roar and the dead leaves flew away, and a monkey's head emerged from a cave with a large bowl mouth under the broken rock, and its eyes shot straight into the sky.
"The old man gave her a world, a world that she had to understand by herself. Taishang Laojun showed kindness on his face and said slowly.
Above the sky, the blue sky and white clouds are painted into various patterns. Like a white horse, like a dragon, like an eagle, and like a lotus. The closer the clouds are to the sun, the brighter their colors become, and the images of those clouds are all made up by the monkey's brain.
But the Five Elements Mountain is actually a majestic and upright mountain, towering into the clouds, so that what the monkey can see is only a special-shaped cloud, and he cannot see the Taishang Laojun suspended above the clouds on the top of the mountain. It's just that today's monkeys don't need their eyes to be farsighted at all, they only need to exert a spiritual power.
"Hmph, although Lao Sun doesn't know the past and present life of this bird, he can conclude that she came all the way to the Five Elements Mountain this time because she was enlightened by someone. The monkey blew away half of the dead leaves mixed in with the hair, and glanced at the mirror-smooth slope of the rock formation.
For more than 400 years, the slope wall of this fault layer formed by the movement of the earth's crust has been washed by wind and rain, and it should have been like a broken wall of the eaves. But I don't know when it began, under the influence of the monkey's weak spiritual power, this sloping wall was polished into a smooth stone rock like a mirror, and this stone rock was enough for the monkey to clearly perceive what had happened in the Nantianmen above the thirty-six heavens for more than 400 years.
It is precisely such a mirror-like stone rock slope that it took the monkey decades to finally write down the six-character mantra of the Sanskrit words of the Zhenshan golden rune on the mountainside of the Five Elements Mountain, "Hum, Ma, Well, Horn, Mi, Whisper". And at this moment, the monkey relied on his fiery eyes and could effortlessly observe the every move of Taishang Laojun on the Five Elements Mountain.
"Since this bird was summoned by the old man, it naturally can't hide the great sage's fiery eyes. It's just that the changes in the way of heaven in this world are all caused by you, the demon monkey, how can the old man let it change. Taishang Laojun pinched his fingers and said.
"Hahahaha, dead old man, you recognize me as a great sage, but you call me a demon monkey, it is really the world is declining. If there is a chance, Lao Sun still wants to go to Tushi Palace again, so that you, the dead old man, can see my Lao Sun's true ability again. The monkey picked up a stone from the dead grass with a furry hand, and threw it at a pine tree not far away.
In an instant, a squirrel jumped up, and the two little paws began to climb the trunk of the tree desperately. At the same time, a pine cone discarded by the squirrel stumbles down and rolls towards the hole where the monkey is. However, when it was less than three feet away from the monkey, the pine cone stopped in its place.
"You cunning, your inheritance is Nuwa's essence blood, and you accidentally got a glimpse of the laws of the Heavenly Dao, you could have devoted yourself to cultivating the Tao to the extreme, but you stubbornly went against the Heavenly Dao for your own selfish interests. When you made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, you destroyed the old man's Tushi Palace, and then broke the old man's Dao heart, and the old man called you a demon monkey, which was extremely polite. Taishang Laojun frowned, changed his previous kindness and said slowly.
"It seems that Lao Jun, you really plan to let the Buddha press the old grandson under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years. Hmph, dead old man, don't forget, my old grandson learned the Taoist way, how can the Western Buddhism be so kind to help Heavenly Court. I'm afraid that five hundred years later, it will be Buddhism that will be in charge of the heavenly court. The monkey bared his teeth and grinned, foaming between his words.
"It seems that you monkey head is quite sensible in addition to messing around and flamboyant. Taishang Laojun's eyes narrowed into a slit, "The old man naturally knows what the Buddha is thinking, and there is no need for you, a monkey, to remind the old man." However, the old man also knows that if it weren't for the Buddha's Rulai to come forward, I'm afraid your fate would be even worse. ”
"My old grandson feels the spirit of all things in heaven and earth, and it is conceived by the spirit stone essence. Born in response to the mandate of heaven, I learned Taoist orthodoxy, and it wasn't for Buddhism and Taoism to be able to surrender me, hahahaha. The monkey began to reveal his original form, domineering and leaking, and his bones still revealed his former unruliness.
"So, in order to avoid the Buddha's Dharma Eye, you let Tai Bai Xing take advantage of the full moon night and the time of the nine stars to take the reincarnation of heaven and earth immortals as a shelter, and enter the spiritual wisdom of the Dinghai Divine Needle into the world of the end of the law, and incarnate as a chess piece to break the way of heaven?"
"Taishang Lao'er, haven't you lost the way of heaven, how can you know ......" The monkey's eyes widened, and after a long time of incredulity, he showed a sly sneer, "Okay, you old gentleman, you actually played tricks with my old grandson." ”
Seeing that the monkey was still extremely arrogant, Taishang Laojun showed a playful chuckle and said, "Although the old man has lost the way of heaven, he has not lost his experience, so he naturally knows where things should go." According to the old man's calculations, Skywalker has appeared. I don't know what the odds are of going to the human world to deal with a Skywalker who has just entered the Dao according to the only remaining strength of the old man?"
The monkey glanced at the stone mirror and said hysterically: "Taishang Lao'er, if my grandson can get out of the Five Elements Mountain, you will be the first to slaughter!"
"Yes, it seems that your monkey head is really a little dead, and your pipa bone must be itching again. Taishang Laojun was furious, but after thinking about it for a while, he returned to his previous smile and said, "I don't know, will it be an honor for the old man to be remembered by you, the demon monkey, all the time." ”
"What do you say? The monkey also smiled at the hippie and reached out to touch his nose, his eyes full of murderous intent.
"Skywalker is the body of this world, the soul of the hereafter, and the strength of Confucianism and Taoism. In today's world, Buddhism and Taoism are the greatest, but they just ignore Confucianism, which can surpass the Tao of enlightenment. As long as you avoid Taoism and Buddhism, and use Confucianism and Taoism to be holy in the mortal world, you can become another Monkey King of the Enlightened Dao, which is enough to keep pace with you, the great sage of the Walker Dao. Therefore, according to the old man, the Great Sage can be said to be desperate this time, and whether it succeeds or fails depends on how Skywalker enlightens. ”
"Dead old man, do you dare to fight with Lao Sun!" the monkey was a little angry, and at this moment he roared vigorously.
"Hahaha, a monkey is a monkey, and his temperament has not changed at all. Taishang Laojun stroked his beard and said, "But don't worry, Shakya Rulai will not be able to break the old man's forbidden spell for a while, and the old man will not deliberately investigate the past life of Skywalker." The old man never said these words. Of course, the old man has never met you. As for the stone mirror in front of you, presumably Our Lady of Nuwa has already cast the Imperial Buddha Array. ”
