Chapter 4 Monkey Monkey
On this day, Yang Zhen just climbed a high mountain, although he did not meet a hermit master, but he saw another immortal mountain from a distance.
I saw thousands of peaks open halberds, and thousands of people opened the screen. 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. Heavy valleys and ravines are surrounded by Zhilan, and everywhere - cliffs and mosses grow. The ups and downs of the dragon vein are good, and there must be a master with an anonymous name. [Excerpt from the original text of "Journey to the West"]
Seeing the beautiful scenery of this mountain and the deep forest foothills, Yang Zhen couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart. In the past few years, Yang Zhen has never seen such a mountain, only to see the strange flowers and grass in the mountains, and the fairy spirit, if there are really immortals, they will definitely live in such mountains and forests.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen couldn't wait to go down the mountain, and quickly ran towards the immortal mountain, at this moment Yang Zhen suddenly had a kind of enlightenment, as if what he had been looking for in the past six years was right in front of him.
After entering the Immortal Mountain, Yang Zhen heard bursts of singing in the distance:
"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. ”
Hearing this song, Yang Zhen was even more happy in his heart.
If you want to know the Tao of the Lu, if the hermit master wants others to know the Tao of the Lu, he will definitely teach some nearby mountain villagers to sing lyrics. You don't see Liu Bei seeing Zhuge Liang for the first time, and as soon as he arrived in Wollongong, he heard someone singing the words made by Zhuge Liang, and in "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong came to Fangcun Mountain for the first time, and there were also woodcutters who sang the words of Bodhi Old Ancestor.
At this moment, Yang Zhen was really refreshed.
Following the singing, Yang Zhen walked into the mountain forest, and before he had gone far, Yang Zhen saw a woodcutter arguing with a monkey about something.
That's right, it's arguing with monkeys.
I only heard the monkey say, "You are not a fairy, how can you say the words of a fairy?"
The woodcutter said, "What did I say about the gods?"
The monkey said again: "I was at the edge of the forest just now, and I only heard you say: 'When you meet, you are not immortals, but you are the way, and you sit quietly and talk about the Yellow Court.'" 'Huang Ting's moral mantra, what is it if it is not an immortal?'
The woodcutter smiled: "I won't tell you, this word name is "Man Tingfang", which 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 heard by you. ”
The Monkey King said, "Since your family is a neighbor of the immortals, why don't you practice with him?
......
Yang Zhen listened for a moment before he realized that this ...... Isn't this the scene when Sun Wukong apprenticed to Fang Cun Mountain? Could it be that he really came to the world of "Journey to the West"? That monkey is Sun Wukong?
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen hurriedly jumped out of the alley and asked the woodcutter: "Since you are neighbors with the immortals, please also point out the residence of the immortals, and I will also go to visit." ”
When the monkey heard this, he hurriedly said, "Exactly!"
When the woodcutter heard this, he smiled and 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 taught by that patriarch, and there are still thirty or forty people who practice with him. If you follow that path and go seven or eight miles south, it will be his dojo. ”
After listening to the woodcutter's guidance, Yang Zhen nodded and said, "Thank you, thank you!"
The monkey originally wanted to let the woodcutter go with him, but he didn't expect to be refused, seeing this, the monkey didn't persuade him, but walked to Yang Zhen's side in three steps and two steps, and asked, "Kitten, you also came to learn the art of immortality?"
Seeing that Sun Wukong took the initiative to ask, Yang Zhen was also thinking about having a relationship with Sun Wukong, so he said: "Yes, I have been born Lingzhi for several years, and it has not been until today that I found the Immortal Cave Mansion. ”
"I am Dongsheng Shenzhou, Aolai Kingdom, Huaguo Mountain, and Shuilian Cave people, where are you from?" the monkey asked.
Hearing this, Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "I don't know, the place where I was born has no reputation, but I think it's also in Xiniu Hezhou." ”
Yang Zhen and the monkey walked for about six or seven miles, and sure enough, they saw a cave. Saw:
The smoke is scattered, and the sun and the moon shake the light. 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. If you look closely at the blessed land, it is really a paradise! I saw that the door of the cave was closed, and there was no trace of it. Suddenly turn around, see a stone plaque set up at the head of the cliff, about three zhang more than high, more than eight feet wide, there is a line of ten big characters, it is "Lingtai square inch mountain, oblique moon three-star hole". [Excerpt from the original text of "Journey to the West"]
Seeing this, the monkey was very happy and said, "The people here are really simple, and they have really found the cave of the gods." ”
"Monkey, you go knock on the door. Seeing that this was indeed the dojo of Su Bodhi Ancestor, Yang Zhen was overjoyed, so he asked the monkey to come forward and knock on the door.
When the monkey heard this, he walked to the door and raised his hand, but he did not knock for a long time. Glancing back at Yang Zhen, the monkey asked, "Kitten, why don't you knock?"
When Yang Zhen heard this, he helplessly raised his front paws and said depressedly: "It's not that I can't reach it!"
"......" monkeys.
Before the monkey knocked on the door, he only heard a "squeak!", the door of the cave opened, and a fairy boy walked out of it. I only heard the fairy child ask, "Who is harassing here?"
The monkey rushed to the fairy boy, bowed down and said, "Fairy Tong, I am a disciple of the Taoist Immortal, and I don't dare to disturb here." ”
Hearing this, the fairy child smiled and said, "Are you a Taoist?"
The Monkey King said, "Exactly." ”
Xiantong said: "My master, just after staying, came to the altar to preach. Before he could tell the reason, he taught me to come out and open the door. He said, 'There are two cultivators coming from outside, so you can go and receive them.' 'It must be you?'
The monkey listened and smiled, "It's me, it's me!"
Xiantong glanced at Yang Zhen, and then said, "Then you can come in with me." ”
Yang Zhen and the monkey glanced at each other, and then hurriedly followed the fairy child inside.
"This will be the place where my dreams will come true. Looking at the beautiful three-star cave of the slanting moon, Yang Zhen said firmly to himself in his heart.
