Chapter 64: The Road to Learning Business as Usual
"Thank you for your enlightened righteousness, I will be traveling to the west soon, I hope that you will decide on the candidate for the journey to the west as soon as possible!" This time, things went more smoothly than expected, and it was rare for the bitter gourd face to show a trace of an ugly smile.
When Lao Tzu heard this, he waved his hand with a light smile and said: "Don't worry, we will arrange the candidates for the Journey to the West and the various matters for the Journey to the West as soon as possible!" After listening to the introduction, he bowed his hand gratefully and said: "So Lao Tzu and Taoist friends have bothered a lot, my brothers and sisters will not bother!" After speaking, he took Zhun Ti and gave a salute and drove away.
As soon as the two of them left, Tongtian "deliberately" shouted loudly and dissatisfied with Lao Tzu: "Senior brother, why are you so easy to agree to the two of them, isn't this a cheap Buddhist door?" Tongtian said this very loudly, and Zhun Ti, who had just flown out not far away, heard it, and the footsteps of the two of them leaving couldn't help but pause.
"Okay, third brother, you have your own plans for your brother!" Lao Tzu frowned and reprimanded coldly. Seeing that Lao Tzu was angry and wilted, he pursed his mouth and didn't say anything, but the slightest resentment between his eyebrows was still revealed. Yuan Shi beside Tongtian was also about to speak, but when he saw that Lao Tzu was displeased, he also cleverly closed his mouth tightly and did not touch Lao Tzu's brows.
"Senior Sister Nuwa, I'll wait to go in and sit down!" After reprimanding Tongtian, Lao Tzu turned his head and said to Nuwa with a pleasant face. Nuwa, who had just recovered from Lao Tzu's reprimand for the heavens, was taken aback by the speed at which Lao Tzu changed her face: "Uh... Thank you, brother. Nuwa stammered.
Seeing that Nuwa agreed, the smile on Lao Tzu's face became more and more intense, and he led Nuwa to the inside. Tongtian in the back was still a little "dissatisfied" in his heart, muttering in his mouth. Lao Tzu, who had a feeling, turned his head and glared at him "fiercely". There was a cold war all over the place. Hurry up and stop muttering. obediently followed into the Taiqing sky.
Yuan Shi on the side is still as usual looking at the nose, nose and mouth, mouth and heart, all of these things in Sanqing are seen by the two people who went away. Originally, because things were too easy, he muttered a little and put his heart down, and comforted himself in his heart: "It seems to be true, Lao Tzu, that honest man is angry!"
Soon the four of Lao Tzu returned to the Taiqing Heaven Hall and sat down, and they had just sat down in Tongtian. let out a big breath: "I'm laughing to death, I almost didn't hold back!" As Tongtian spoke, Yuan Shi also showed a smile on his face. Lao Tzu looked at the two younger brothers on the side, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face, and at the same time there was a hint of a smile.
The sudden change in Sanqing made Nuwa stunned for a while, and her head was a little dizzy: "What's the situation, I looked like I had suffered a big loss just now, why did it become like this in a blink of an eye." Nuwa looked at the three of them in confusion, Rao is the smart Nuwa of ice and snow. At this time, I was also a little confused, and the performance before and after Sanqing was too big.
Lao Tzu inadvertently saw Nuwa's expression. After thinking about it slightly, I understood her current mood, and couldn't help but explain with a smile: "Senior Sister Nuwa, these are all plays performed by the three of my brothers. In fact, we already knew about the two of us coming to the door, and as for the specific inconvenience of disclosure, when everything became a foregone conclusion, the junior sister understood why we were laughing today!"
Hearing Lao Tzu's explanation, Nuwa was still a little embarrassed at the beginning, but after listening to Nuwa's embarrassment, she was thrown out of the clouds in a blink of an eye, and at this time, Nuwa was only left with what Lao Tzu said about the final situation. Nuwa also looked at Tongtian for help, but Tongtian was also helpless, which aroused Nuwa's appetite even more.
Guiding the two back to the Western Heaven Elysium Realm, sitting next to the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, Zhun Ti couldn't hold back any longer, and finally asked the doubts in his heart: "Senior brother, why do you agree to Lao Tzu's harsh conditions." If Lao Tzu gets in the way and sets up too difficult checkpoints, my Buddhism will not have a bright future!" Although Zhun Ti respects and receives, but now it is related to Buddhism, and Zhun Ti's tone is so heavy for the first time.
"Senior brother, the result of this matter is already considered good, Sanqing can loosen his mouth is the biggest victory, what can we hope for, if this matter encounters you, what will you do! Therefore, it is worth losing more to let the Dharma spread eastward. As a brother, I also know that the eastward transmission of Buddhism has great merit, but it is more than Buddhism."
As if he had already known the question raised by Lu Dao, he didn't care about Zhun Ti's tone, but explained the stakes to him with a pleasant face.
Zhun Ti is also a smart person, and he understands when he hears this, but when did he take such a big advantage when he was taken advantage of, which made Zhun Ti, who has always only taken advantage of the advantage and not suffered a loss, very unmotivated, so he was reluctant to come out with the tip of the horns. He knew that this result was already the best, but he still couldn't help but feel angry for a while.
After calming down his unwillingness, Zhun Ti returned to his old demeanor, and before he could speak, he preemptively said: "Senior brother, leave the rest to me! The Dharma protector of my Buddhist sect must take on the responsibility of protecting the Fa!" Zhun Ti said pointedly. The usher didn't argue with him, nodded in agreement and said no more.
Next, Zhun Ti first passed on the decree to Rulai of Honghuang Lingshan, asking him to arrange for the reincarnation of the golden cicada after five hundred years. Then Zhun Ti's body flickered, and he saw his good corpse falling straight into an immortal mountain in the Flood Wasteland Immortal Realm. After a while, a cave appeared on the fairy mountain, and the book "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, the three-star cave of the oblique moon", the good corpse incarnated as the ancestor of Bodhi, and accepted disciples to cultivate here.
On Huaguo Mountain in Aolai Country, it has been ten years since the Lingming Stone Monkey returned from the Wa Palace, and although the Spirit Monkey has not cultivated in these ten years, its body has become stronger and stronger because of the streamer that Nuwa left in his mind. At this time, the spirit monkey is bidding farewell to the group of monkeys on the island and is preparing to go out to study.
Everything went according to the pre-arranged path without any deviations. After many tribulations, the spirit monkey who left Huaguo Mountain finally heard the ballad made by a woodcutter, worshiped the Bodhi Ancestor of Fangcun Mountain and the Sanxing Cave of the Oblique Moon and sat down, and began to cultivate the true Tao, accumulating the strength of the Three Realms in the near future.
The spirit monkey stayed on Fangcun Mountain for seven years, because of the system of the Lingming stone monkey, the cultivation speed is extremely fast, and he will soon enter the Taiyi Golden Immortal, and he will become a Daluo Golden Immortal in one step. Under the intention of the Bodhi Ancestor, the strength of the spirit monkey is only based on mana, but the state of mind cultivation is not very high, and there is no matching state of mind cultivation, which lays the root of the spirit monkey's troubles in the sky.
History is still unswervingly run over, and the spirit monkey after learning was driven down the mountain by the Bodhi ancestor, of course, the threat when leaving is inevitable. At this time, the spirit monkey already had a name, and the Bodhi ancestor gave the name Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong bid farewell to Bodhi Ancestor and returned to the Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave with a somersault cloud.
As soon as Sun Wukong left, Bodhi Ancestor sat on the futon, looking at the dazed spirit monkey with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he had already sown the seeds of the disaster, and then it was time to watch the show and reap the benefits. Bodhi Ancestor was happy, but he would never have thought that he taught mana but did not call it cultivation, but Sun Wukong already knew that the variable was the streamer that Nuwa hit into Sun Wukong's mind.
Bodhi Ancestor would never have imagined that his most proud calculation would be destroyed because of Nuwa. If he calculates Sun Wukong in this way, will Sun Wukong still respect him as he did in his previous life? When he becomes famous, it is when Sun Wukong breaks with Buddhism. This is really, there is a certain number of drinks and pecks.
Nuwa would not have thought that her unintentional actions would ruin Zhun Ti's good deeds. When she returned to the Wa Palace, she paid attention to Sun Wukong from time to time, and with her saintly cultivation, Sun Wukong's hidden dangers were naturally clearly identified at a glance. Nuwa also worried about Sun Wukong and asked him to be careful of Bodhi Ancestor's calculations.
Nuwa just said that Sun Wukong still didn't believe it, but after Nuwa listed a series of disadvantages of not having a high state of mind cultivation, Sun Wukong believed it. Bodhi Ancestor has the merit of passing on his art to Sun Wukong, and he has great respect for Bodhi Ancestor, even if Nuwa reminds him, Sun Wukong also wishfully thinks that Bodhi Ancestor has forgotten.
However, just when Sun Wukong was full of expectations, Bodhi Ancestor's approach completely broke his heart. Until the Bodhi Ancestor expelled him, he didn't say it, and Sun Wukong's heart was completely cold. For the first time, Sun Wukong felt the taste of being teased and betrayed, and Nuwa had already informed Sun Wukong of the identity of the Bodhi Ancestor, and even took Sun Wukong to hate Buddhism.
The gratitude in his heart to Bodhi Ancestor dissipated cleanly, and Sun Wukong's original innocent heart changed a little because of this incident. This change is not good or bad, and it will only appear after it is at its worst. Back in Huaguo Mountain, under Nuwa's reminder, Sun Wukong did not make up for the Dao Heart, he was afraid of arousing the suspicion of Bodhi Ancestor.
Back in the Water Curtain Cave, history repeats itself again, making trouble in the underworld, tearing up the book of life and death, worshipping the six demon clans, calling Monkey King, and making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, this series of things are repeated one by one. After the last, Sun Wukong fought alone, and was suppressed at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, waiting for the help of someone who was destined to do it five hundred years later.
After pressing under the Five Finger Mountain, Sun Wukong began to make up for the lack of state of mind cultivation, Lingming Stone Monkey is worthy of being the first of the four monkeys in the mixed world, and the high level of qualification is on par with mana cultivation in just one hundred years. Coupled with the instructions of Rulai, every day Sun Wukong drank copper juice and ate iron pills, the whole person's breath became more and more calm, and the edges and corners of the monkey nature were smoothed out a lot.
Five hundred years have passed in a flash, and it seems that it will be a few decades away. Now, in addition to Sun Wukong, several other people on the road to learn scriptures have not yet been born. Tai Qingtian, who has been motionless, finally made a move. Zhu Gangguan, a disciple of Xuandu, was demoted to the lower realm and reincarnated as a pig for molesting fairies.
The curtain general of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall was demoted to the lower realm because he accidentally broke the glass cup, and he became a demon in the quicksand river. The third prince of the Dragon Clan of the West Sea set fire to the pearl given by the Jade Emperor in the palace, violated the rules of heaven and committed a capital crime, but fortunately the merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South China Sea came forward to survive, and was relegated to the Snake Pan Mountain to wait for Tang Xuanzang to learn the scriptures from the West Heaven.
As soon as Lao Tzu made a move, the people who learned the scriptures were quickly equipped, just waiting for the arrival of the Buddhist scriptures, and rescuing Sun Wukong could start the road to learning the scriptures. (To be continued......)
