Chapter 341: The Monkey Seeking A Teacher
On the top of Mt. Huaguo, a five-color stone is exuding dazzling light. I can see that the stone is three feet six feet five inches high, and it is three hundred and sixty-five degrees according to the sun;
There is a circle of two feet and four feet wide, and there are twenty-four qi according to the political calendar; there is also a nine-nine-nine spirit gathering array around it, which continuously provides the aura of heaven and earth.
When you look carefully, this five-color stone is not exactly the one left by Nuwa Houtu when he smelted the stone to mend the sky. Later, this stone was discovered by Sun Yuan by chance.
After a while, Sun Yuan learned that the Stone Monkey of Numinous Wisdom was actually conceived in it, so he set up a nine-nine-nine spirit-gathering formation and preached for it for nearly a hundred years.
The five-color stone is shown innocently every day, the sun is fine and the moon is beautiful, and there is a continuous supply of spiritual energy, but it is time to be born at this time.
On this day, the five-color stone burst open suddenly, and a stone egg was produced, which was as big as a ball. When it saw the wind, it grew and turned into a stone monkey. All five senses are complete, and all four limbs are complete. Then I learned to crawl and walk, and worshiped the Quartet. With two golden lights in his eyes, he shoots towards Doufu.
When the stone monkey was born, countless powers in the world felt it, and even Houtu, who was practicing far away in the New Territories, quietly opened his eyes, and said lightly: "This monkey was conceived by five-color stones, Heaven- Where Earth Cauldron is, he should be a disciple of the School of Interception"
After saying that, he gave a deep salute to the direction of Everlasting Palace, and said respectfully: "I will ask my senior brother!"
In Wude Xingjun's mansion, Sun Yuan was having a banquet with his brothers, suddenly he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, but my brother was born!"
Everyone was very puzzled when they heard the words, and hurriedly asked, and Sun Yuan explained the cause and effect of the incident.
Huang Tianhua was also overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "In this way, this son is from the lineage of Master Uncle's ancestors, but he is not my junior brother: the poison case wants to go to Mt. Huaguo to meet the cloth monkey.
Seeing this, everyone responded one after another, and they all wanted to go to Mt. Huaguo to have a look, but at this moment they heard a voice resounding from the bottom of their hearts, "Stone Monkey of Numinous Wisdom has another important task. But it's not time to recognize each other!
Hearing the words, everyone hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I will obey!" The person who spoke was Ancestor Subhūti who had just finished his tour and returned to the Lingtai Mt. Fangcun.
Unbeknownst to everyone, the birth of the monkey also alarmed the five Saints of Three Realms.
In the Palace of Empress Wa, Goddess Nuwa was sitting in meditation when suddenly something happened in her heart. After doing some calculations in my heart, I said with a wry smile: "One wrong step, one wrong step!" After saying that, he ignored it.
In The Jade Pure One's peaceful Tian Mi Luo Palace, The Primeval Lord of Heavens - Yuanshi "Zero Three Zero", who was preaching to several disciples, suddenly stopped. Then they dismissed everyone and "got up and went to Bajizhong.
In The Grand Pure One, Palace of Eight Sceneries, Elderly Lord Taishang sighed softly, "Buddhism should be popular!" After saying that, he continued to refine alchemy.
The Pure Land in the West, Jie Yin Buddha Ancestor and Zhǔntí Buddha Mother were sitting opposite each other, suddenly Amitabha frowned slightly, woke up from meditation, looked at Daoist Zhunti and said slowly: "Junior Brother
What do you think about this?"
Upon hearing this, Zhǔntí Buddha Mother said hastily: "My Buddhism will flourish because of this monkey."
Jie Yin Buddha Ancestor heaved a long sigh and said, "Brother Yu naturally knows about this, I'm afraid that Buddhism will flourish and decline!"
Zhǔntí Buddha Mother thought for a moment after hearing this. Then he said: "Brother is worried that my Buddhism will follow in the footsteps of the School of Interception. y
Jie Yin Buddha Ancestor nodded slightly when he heard the words, and said: "Buddhism is booming, and it has already caused dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty. If it flourishes again, I'm afraid disaster is just around the corner. We don't have the ability of senior brother Tongtian."
Zhǔntí Buddha Mother shook her head slightly when she heard the words, and said, "Brother, you are too worried! My Buddhism is to save all sentient beings. I persuade people to do good, and there are countless Karmic Merit to protect them. How can there be disasters and catastrophes?"
Jie Yin Buddha Ancestor could only say: "Since the younger brother has already made plans, let the younger brother decide this matter!" After saying that, he closed his eyes and said nothing.
Zhuǔntí nodded slightly when he heard the words, turned around and left the Paradise, and came to the Great Chitian Palace of Eight Sceneries. Went to see Elderly Lord Taishang, but saw Elderly Lord Taishang and The Primeval Lord of Heavens - Yuanshi was waiting for him early.
At the same time, in the New Territory, the leader of Tongtian frowned, then stretched it out, and said to Kui Bull, "Niuer! Go to the lower realm! The earth fairy world has a chance for you, whether you can grasp it or not depends on your good fortune." Fortune is here!"
At this time, Zhǔntí Buddha Mother in the Immortal Realm also saw the two saints, bowed to them, then sat on the Meditation Mat beside him, and said straight to the point: "The karma of Daoist Friend turning Hu into a Buddha needs to be repaid!"
Elderly Lord Taishang heard the words and said lightly: "I don't know how Daoist Friend plans to end it!"
Zhuǔntí clasped his hands together and said, "My Buddhism is compassionate, and I am willing to pass on the scriptures to save all living beings in Dongsheng Shenzhou."
After hearing the words, Elderly Lord Taishang continued to ask: "I wonder how many scriptures Daoist Friend plans to pass down?"
Zhuǔntí heard the words and said calmly: "I heard that Daoist Friend handed down the three thousand mantras of "Tao Te Ching" in Hangu Pass, so my Buddhism will pass down three thousand volumes!"
The Primeval Lord of Heavens - Yuanshi was furious when he heard the words: "Didn't Daoist Friend realize that this is too much?"
Zhǔntí Buddha Mother smiled freely and said, "I don't know how many volumes Celestial Venerable thinks my Buddhism should pass down?"
The Primeval Lord of Heavens - Yuanshi thought for a while after hearing the words: "Nine is the ultimate number, and you can pass down ninety-nine and eighty-one volumes at most!"
Zhǔntí Buddha Mother nodded slightly when she heard the words, and said, "Just follow what Celestial Venerable said!"
The Primeval Lord of Heavens - Yuanshi was very surprised when he heard the words, wondering why Zhǔntí was so easy-talking today, maybe it was not like that, but at this moment, Elderly Lord Taishang said lightly, "I don't know how many circles of Buddhism have been handed down?"
The corners of Zhuǔntí Buddha Mother's lips turned up slightly when she heard the words, and she looked at The Primeval Lord of Heavens - Yuanshi and said jokingly: "No more, no less, exactly eighty-one volumes!"
The Primeval Lord of Heavens - Yuanshi was furious when he heard the words: "How dare the bald donkey play poor daoist!"
Zhǔntí Buddha Mother laughed loudly when she heard the words: "Could it be that when he fell to the holy position, he even lost his face, and the Celestial Venerable is going to go back on his word?"
The Primeval Lord of Heavens - Yuanshi blushed when he heard the words, but saw Elderly Lord Taishang shook his head and said: "The scriptures should not be passed on lightly! Buddhism needs to send a Buddha to reincarnate, and walk all the way to Mt. Lingshan with a mortal body to obtain it." Truth!"
Zhǔntí Buddha Mother heard the words and said lightly: "Yes!"
Lao'zi heard the words and continued: "One difficult change one classic!"
Zhǔntí nodded again when he heard the words, and then added: "Those who are above the Dao Sect Great Way Immortal realm should not embarrass those who learn from the scriptures."
Elderly Lord Taishang also nodded in agreement when he heard the words, and then ordered to the Great Master of Sutras - Xuandu: "See off the guests." After speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Seeing the back of Zhǔntí leaving, The Primeval Lord of Heavens - Yuanshi couldn't help but snorted coldly and said: "Huh! It's hard to change once! It's a good idea! Poor daoist wants to see you, a powerless Buddha, how did you get to the West Paradise!"
In the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, Zhuǔntí laughed loudly and said: "Catastrophes can be divided into big and small! The poor daoist says there are difficulties, so there are difficulties! Besides, there are not many monks who follow the wind and rain all the way!"
And with Subhuti's command.
All the disciples of the School of Interception dared not go to Mt. Huaguo to visit the Stone Monkey of Numinous Wisdom, but told the little stone monkey to live a carefree life.
Although the disciples could not go to Mt. Huaguo to recognize each other, Sun Yuan secretly ordered the two Marshal Ma Liu and the Second General Bengba who stayed behind to protect the Stone Monkey of Numinous Wisdom while hiding their strength, and lead him to the path of cultivation as soon as possible. road.
After several years like this, Stone Monkey of Numinous Wisdom successfully found the Water Curtain Cave under the reminder of the four monkeys, and brought all the monkeys to the Water Curtain Cave.
From then on, he became the king of Mt. Huaguo, calling himself the "Monkey King", and all the raptors and beasts came under the jurisdiction of the Monkey King.
More than ten years later, the monkey king was having a feast in the cave, but saw an old monkey suddenly collapsed to the ground, the monkey king was very surprised when he saw this, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with this old monkey?"
A group of little monkeys cried and cried: "The old monkey is old and dead!"
Upon hearing this, the Monkey King hurriedly asked, "What is old age and death!"
Ba Tian, one of the four monkeys kept by Sun Yuan, rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and hurriedly explained: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the fate of our living beings.
Since we were born, our names have been displayed in the Book of Life & Death of Lord Yama, and our lifespans have been indicated in the books of life and death. When our lifespans are up, ghost messengers will come to fetch people. This old man The monkey thought it was on the left!"
The Monkey King was silent for a long time when he heard the words, and said sadly: "Could it be that one day I will go with the old monkey, and I will no longer be happy today!"
Hearing the words, Ba Tian hurriedly hit the railway: "Your Majesty doesn't know! There are third-class people in this world who live forever and are not under the jurisdiction of the King of Hades!"
The Monkey King hurriedly said, "Do you know which third-class people they are?"
Hearing this, Ba Tian hurriedly said, "It's the Buddha, the Immortal and the Sacred.
These three escape from Samsara and are immortal. Live with heaven and earth.
The Monkey King scratched his ears anxiously when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know where these three people live?"
Hearing the words, Ba Tian hurriedly said: "These three are only in the famous mountains and ancient temples, and in the ancient cave fairy mansion."
The Monkey King was full of joy when he heard the words: "Tomorrow I will go down the mountain to seek immortals and visit Taoism. I must learn a method of immortality to escape the hardships of the Lord of Heaven."
When Batian heard the words, he immediately ordered all the monkeys to go down and arrange a banquet to see the Monkey King off.
After a while, the banquet was arranged. I saw that the stone case was full of rare and exotic fruits, among which there were many poria cocos, sealwort, vermilion fruit, and zero-grade acquired spiritual fruits:
Another altar of monkey wine was continuously moved to the stone table. The group of monkeys sits on the Monkey King. They lined up at the bottom according to their teeth and shoulders, and they took turns to toast and drank for a day.
The next day, the Monkey King got up early and ordered the monkeys to pack some fruits and put them on the bamboo raft, and then took a bamboo pole as a tube. With the wind of the sky, he came to the border of Nanbuzhou.
The Monkey King wandered around the big cities and small counties in Nanbuzhou. He didn't realize it was more than eight or nine years. Unfortunately, he never met Xianyuan. Instead, he was almost buried in the mouth of tigers and leopards. Meat. Fortunately, Tai Sui ordered his gods to protect him all the way, so he survived.
On this day, the Monkey King suddenly traveled to the West Sea, thinking to himself, "There are no immortals and Buddhas here, and the immortals must be overseas!" So he still made a raft and floated all the way across the West Sea to the border of Hezhou, Xiniu.
When the Monkey King visited Hezhou in Xiniu for a long time, he suddenly saw a beautiful mountain and couldn't help but want to climb to the top of the mountain to watch it!
At this time, a person in the mountain sang: "Watching the chess game, cutting the wood, walking slowly at the mouth of the valley. Selling wages and selling wine, laughing wildly from pottery. The green path is high in autumn, and the moon is pillowed on the pine roots. It's dawn.
Recognize the old forest, climb the cliff and cross the ridge, and cut off the withered vine with an axe. Collected into a load, Xingge market, Yimi three liters. There is no competition, and the current price is flat. No tricks, no honor or disgrace, calm and prolong life. Wherever they meet, there is either a fairy or a Tao, and they sit quietly and talk about "Huang Ting".
Hearing this, the Monkey King said happily, "So the gods are hiding here!" After saying this, he hurriedly followed the song to find it, for fear of missing the fairy fate.
The woodcutter was cutting wood, when he suddenly saw a huge monkey's head poking out in front of him, and then he saw a five-foot-tall monkey coming out of the bush, wearing a Confucian shirt, a pair of cloth shoes on its feet, and a monkey on its head. A red flower cupped her hands in a funny way and said, "Old Immortal! Disciple is being polite!"
The woodcutter was startled when he saw this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is joking! Old man, I don't have enough food and clothing, how dare I be a fairy bean?"
The Monkey King entangled after hearing the words: "You are not a god, how can you sing the songs of the gods! Then the "Huang Ting Jing" is the method passed down by the gods!"
The woodcutter laughed and said, "I'm not a god, but I'm a neighbor with a god!"
After speaking, he pointed to the Monkey King and said, "This mountain is called Lingtai Mt. Fangcun. There is a three-star cave with a slanting moon in the mountain. There is an immortal in that cave. People call it Ancestor Subhūti. If you want to find an immortal, follow that path to Going south for seven or eight miles, it is his home."
The monkey king was overjoyed when he heard the words, and after thanking the woodcutter, he couldn't wait to run towards the three-star cave on the oblique moon.
After the monkey king left, he saw the woodcutter
He transformed into a big man in golden armor holding a painting halberd, and sighed: "Finally, this monkey has been sent to Mt. Fangcun. The hard work of these ten years is really enough for our brothers!"
After saying that, it disappeared.
Inside the Three Star Cave, looking at the Stone Monkey of Numinous Wisdom wearing red flowers on his head, Subhuti felt that ten thousand beasts were running wildly in his heart. Could it be that the reason why Stone Monkey of Numinous Wisdom is called the Monkey King is because of the
A red flower was inserted.
"Master, Master! Disciples see Master!" When the Monkey King saw Subhuti, he couldn't help but fell down and kowtowed countless times.
"Wrong name! Your mother is my junior sister, and I can pass on your longevity method on her behalf, but you are not my disciple. You can call me Ancestor Subhūti, or just call me grandfather!"
"Mother? Did the old fairy make a mistake? I jumped out of a rock. Where did my parents come from?" The Monkey King asked with a confused expression.
"No mistake! You are the five-color stone transformed from Heaven-Earth Cauldron, and Heaven-Earth Cauldron naturally has a mother-child relationship!"
"Heaven-Earth Cauldron is under my junior sister! You should call my junior sister grandmother"
"I, the Monkey King, also belong to my mother! Hahaha..., who said I don't have a mother!" The Monkey King laughed when he heard this, and looked anxiously at Subhuti and said: "Ancestor
Master, who is my grandmother?"
"Your grandmother is Empress Houtu who made stones to mend the sky!" Subhuti said calmly upon hearing the words...
"Dare to ask Patriarch, where is my grandmother? Why doesn't my grandmother come to see me!" Sun Wukong hurriedly asked after hearing the words.
"Houtu is practicing in the New Territory, as long as you practice hard, you will see your grandmother one day!" Subhuti nodded slightly upon hearing this.
"Please patriarch pass on the great law to your grandson!" the Monkey King kowtowed again after hearing this.
"Good! Good! Good! From now on, you will learn art from this old man, and I will give you the name Sun Wukong!" Subhuti twirled his beard and laughed.
"I have a name! My name is Sun Wukong! Hahaha......, I have a name!"
Seeing Sun Wukong's crazy appearance, Subhuti nodded slightly, and ordered the boy under the door to take Sun Wukong down to rest first. From the second day on, he ordered Sun Wukong to carry firewood and water to train Sun Wukong.
Wukong's heart.
"Huh! What did you say to teach me the law of longevity. In the end, you sent me to chop firewood and carry water. It was obviously a joke on me. I think you are an old liar. "You want to trick my grandson into doing it for you.
That is!"1
In Mt. Fangcun, a monkey carried an ax and mumbled towards the back of the mountain. When he arrived at the back mountain, he lay down on a boulder and dozed off.
"Humph! This tired hozen!" Inside the Sanxing Cave, seeing Sun Wukong being so lazy, Subhuti couldn't help but snorted coldly, and then saw a big red-scaled python suddenly appearing in Sun Wukong
Under the resting rocks.
"Sisi..." Sun Wukong was taking a nap when he suddenly heard a strange voice ringing in his ears. When he opened his eyes, he couldn't help being horrified, but saw a water monster flying out of the sky.
The barrel-thin boa constrictor was staring at him coldly with eyes the size of copper bells.
Seeing this, Sun Wukong ran away with an "ow" sound, and the red phosphorus python chased after him, just when Sun Wukong was out of breath and could no longer run.
But he heard a long cry of "Woo" suddenly coming from the front, and then saw a ball of fire suddenly appearing in the woods, flying towards him by the wind.
When I looked closely, I saw that the flame turned out to be a divine bird. It had a chicken head, a swallow jaw, a snake neck, a turtle back, a fish tail, and five-color feathers. Its body was covered with flames.
The giant python's head was scratched to pieces, and then dragged the giant python's body away with the wind.
"This. This is actually a phoenix! It's a real phoenix!" Sun Wukong stared dumbfounded at the phoenix going away, but his heart was extremely shocked.
The big python chased him with no way to go to the sky, no way to go to the earth, unexpectedly under the claws of this divine bird, he couldn't resist even a single move!
"How can Ancestor Subhūti be so simple as an old liar to establish a school in such a blessed place!" Thinking of this, Sun Wukong restrained his mind. Honestly
Find the ax and chop down the tree.
"Ding!" Hearing the sound of gold and iron, Sun Wukong raised his arm high, almost unable to hold the ax in his hand, and then saw that the part where the tree trunk and the ax meet flashed.
There were sparks. Then I saw the branch slammed violently and hit Sun Wukong's face, leaving a bloodstain.
"Mom! This branch is so hard!" Sun Wukong couldn't help grinning wide as he looked at the branch with only a white mark left, and then at the ax that had been chipped!
"Hmph! Old Sun doesn't believe that he can't keep chopping you!" Successive failures seemed to have aroused Sun Wukong's fighting spirit, and Sun Wukong was holding the ax "clang, clang, clang"
He kept chopping, and in the end, after exhausting all his efforts, he finally cut off the branch, and the price was a pair of sore arms, two bloody palms, and the look
Don't look like the original monkey face.
Seeing Sun Wukong dragging a thumb-thick branch back to do business, Subhuti couldn't help but look down and said: "Is this the firewood you cut?"
Sun Wukong blushed when he heard the words, he couldn't say a word, but silently lowered his head.
"Hmph! If you can't cut a bundle within a month, don't keep it! Now 3.2, go carry water! Remember to raise your arms straight from side to side when carrying water, if you can't do it
Change back today!" Seeing this, Subhuti snorted coldly, turned and left!
Hearing this, Sun Wukong looked at his bloody palm, silently came to the water tank, reached out to pick up the two buckets, only to realize that the load of water was not easy.
It turned out that these two buckets were made of unknown materials, each of them weighed about three thousand catties, and it took tens of thousands of catties of strength to lift them up with both hands.
Feeling the weight of the bucket, Sun Wukong couldn't help cursing in his heart, but he had to go to the pool to get water.
Just as Sun Wukong was cursing inwardly, he saw a faucet popping out of the water pool, and then spewing out a stream of water as thick as a basin from its huge mouth, knocking Sun Wukong back a bit,
Then I saw the two buckets fell to the ground, the water in the buckets was naturally left clean.
Looking at the ferocious dragon head, Sun Wukong couldn't beat it, and didn't dare to scold him, so he could only swallow his anger and retreat to the side, and only after the giant dragon dived into the deep pool again did he return to the pool to fetch water.
Every time I curse secretly in my heart, there will be dangers around me. With Sun Wukong's understanding, I naturally know that Ancestor Subhūti is playing tricks on me.
However, Sun Wukong surprisingly lost his anger in his heart, instead he was full of respect for Subhuti. With such a powerful grandfather teaching me, what can I complain about?
!
In the middle of the night, looking at Sun Wukong who fell to the ground and drowsy, Subhuti nodded slightly, bent down and hugged the exhausted Sun Wukong back to the stone bed, then sat down beside the bed, pointed a finger,
Qi enters Sun Wukong's body to straighten out Sun Wukong's meridians and warm up his body.
In the early morning of the second day, as the first ray of sunlight came in, Sun Wukong couldn't help stretching. Sitting up from the bed, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my whole body was completely injured.
After recovering, he hurriedly knelt down on Earthly Dao: "Grandson, thank you Patriarch for taking care of me!" After saying that, he happily picked up the ax and went to chop wood.
One month later, Sun Wukong came back with a bundle of firewood for the first time; one year later, Sun Wukong's firewood had grown from the thickness of a finger to the thickness of an adult's arm;
Three years later, Sun Wukong was able to chop off a tree branch as thick as an adult's thigh with one axe; six years later, Sun Wukong chopped down a big tree as thick as an adult's waist with one axe.
After seven years like this, Sun Wukong finally passed the test of Subhuti, and understood the use of "strength" in the process of carrying water and chopping firewood. .
