[Journey to the West] Empty Enlightenment Bodhi

Bodhi illusion.

A woman with a bun facing the cloud and a golden step with colorful wings protruding obliquely above her head, holding a sword in both hands, stood bowed under the hall.

"Old Ancestor, the Master of Dan Pavilion Shen Ran offered two long swords, which are similar to the long swords in your portrait, please take a look."

Above the main hall, a phantom waved his hand casually, and the two long swords left the woman's hands and flew to the reclining chair above the main hall.

The next moment, Patriarch Bodhi suddenly appeared in real body, with a pair of slightly generous hands rubbing back and forth on the long sword, and a deep voice echoed in the hall.

"he came."

The well-dressed woman was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood with her hands down, waiting for the order of the ancestor.

"Shi Zhi, take him in."

"Yes." Shi Zhixin was horrified, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, but just bowed and left the hall.

Over the years, it's not that no outsiders have entered the Bodhi Illusion, but the ancestor always said "let him in" or "allow him to enter" lightly, but facing this monkey, the ancestor actually asked them to pick him in!

People outside may not know what the Bodhi Illusion is, but those who live inside are very clear.

The ancestor actually said "take him in".

Shi Zhi calmed down, and passed on the order, ordering Shen Ran to immediately send the person into the Bodhi Illusion, and at the same time ordered that the place where the Mortal Taoist Gate is located should not be rude to this monkey.

When the little monkey came to the bodhi illusion, the whole monkey was in a state of "who am I and where am I?".

Wait, my two long swords are still in that hand!

I haven't taken the pills that Lu Ming gave me to treat my eyes!

……

The little monkey couldn't see it, so naturally he didn't know how huge a battle was waiting for him.

All Taoist disciples, wearing uniform clothes, stood together in a row. Those with high cultivation bases, if taken outside, can scare people to death.

The little monkey walked up the stone steps, and all the Taoist disciples bowed and saluted with humility.

The scene was so grand and spectacular that Shen Ran's heart skipped a beat.What kind of posture this represents, the little monkey doesn't know, as an old man next to Patriarch Bodhi, he is very clean.

Shen Ran is wearing a Su Qing robe today, with a faint golden light shining through the needlework, because he is going to meet the ancestor, so he is wearing a very formal dress.This Su Qing-colored outfit is the outfit worn by the Pavilion Master of the Dan Pavilion in the Bodhi Illusion.Walking in the bodhi illusion, your strength represents your status, and your status is embodied in your clothes.

The all-colored aqua-blue robes are laid out on the ground, looking like Chinese cabbages in the field. In fact, these people are extremely talented and capable. They are usually very arrogant and do not associate with others easily. , let alone like today, standing at the door, like the girls in the building, standing in a row, bowing and bowing, welcoming and sending them off.

Shen Ran has been in the Bodhi Illusion for a long time, but the only few times he saw this group of people in Daogu was when the ancestor came in person.

To tell the truth, Shen Ran has always suspected that most of these people were transformed from birds—the eyes grew on the top of their heads, not to mention him, the master of Dan Pavilion, even the master of Daogu, who couldn't help it in private. any one of the crowd.

Shen Ran's heart sank, and he secretly looked at the reaction of the monkey beside him.

Today's situation is definitely not for him to watch.

There is a saying called, winking for the blind.

Well, there is absolutely nothing wrong with using this word here.

The little monkey could only hear the gusts of wind, his attention was all on how to make himself walk up the steps safely, and he was completely unaware of the movement around him.

The first few steps were pretending to be good, but after the next step, the little monkey couldn't even take a step.

His monkey instincts told him there was something wrong with the front steps, and there was something wrong with the front steps ahead.

Shen Ran looked along the stopped little monkey and saw the stone steps engraved with the formation, and Shen Ran smiled imperceptibly from the side of his head.

He just said, how could this group of arrogant people bow their heads so easily and bow to a monkey who has never masked and can't see the road.

The little monkey actually wanted to turn around and walk back.

But just think about it.

He is not as skilled as others now, so he can only lie low and be a small one.

Take a gamble.

The little monkey held the bodhi seed in his hand and gave himself a little encouragement.

The fluffy feet lifted up and landed on the formation.

In an instant, the golden light shines brightly, and the flat stone steps are suddenly uneven, with some sharp blades growing out of them. The little monkey's feet are about to be cut by the blades. Wrapped its tail, wrapped the little monkey into a ball out of thin air, and swept it away.

"Where is Shi Zhi?!"

The voice of the ancestor came from mid-air.

Shi Zhi still stayed at the top of the stone steps, intending to wait for the little monkey to climb up the mountain, and then welcome people into the main hall. Now when she heard the call from the ancestor, she was startled, but she put her hands down and waited for the order.

"Shi Zhi is here."

"The punishment hall is punished."

The old ancestor was concise and concise, and he didn't bother to say a word.

Shi Zhi was startled inwardly, she couldn't understand what kind of anger the ancestor was getting today.She accepted the person in according to the highest standard, and asked Shen Ran, the master of Dan Pavilion, to send him in personally. She gave this kid enough face, but he was punished for nothing?

The ancestor has not punished anyone for tens of thousands of years.

What's the matter.

Shi Zhi stood in the quiet residence, facing the wall and thinking about her mistakes.

too weird.

In a flash of inspiration, she suddenly realized one thing.

the ancestor said.

"Shi Zhi, take him in."

Could it be that she was asked to come out of the Bodhi Illusion in person and bring people in? !

This is kind of scary.

At the moment when Shi Zhi figured out the key, her restraint in Jingxinju was lifted.

Shi Zhi walked out of the Meditation House with a look of confusion of "who am I and where am I?"

Let's talk about the hall.

Patriarch Bodhi sat on it, and the little monkey stood under his highness.

"Who are you and why are you here?" Patriarch Bodhi's voice echoed throughout the hall, low and solemn.

The little monkey jumped so frightened that he almost blurted out "I was taken captive".

"I'm the little monkey from the Water Curtain Cave of Huaguo Mountain in the Aolai Country of Dongsheng Shenzhou. I, I'm just passing by." The little monkey cleared his throat, trying not to look so guilty.

"Nonsense! You must have come here to learn art from a teacher." Patriarch Bodhi was furious, "Come here, drive this monkey out of here. He is a fraudster. How can he cultivate the fruit of the Tao?【 1】"

little monkey:? ? ?

"I'm not afraid of driving me away, but I have to make an excuse," the little monkey became more courageous, and explained seriously, "I really didn't come here to learn from a teacher." The little monkey touched the neck Bodhizi looked a little frustrated, "I actually went down the mountain to find someone."

Patriarch Bodhi's face was uncomfortable for a moment, but soon returned to his superior appearance.

"Oh?" Patriarch Bodhi elongated his voice, "If you want to learn the art of finding people, I can also teach you here."

The little monkey shook his head: "I don't want to learn from a teacher here."

Patriarch Bodhi was furious: "You monkey head, how many people want to worship me as a teacher, but I won't accept it. How dare you push back!"

"Then go find them." The little monkey muttered in a low voice. It might as well be that a booklet fell from the sky and fell hard in front of him. People, why are you angry with me?"

"It is clearly written in the karma book that you will worship me as your teacher this year, this month, today." Patriarch Bodhi was furious, "If you don't believe it, you can open it and see clearly!"

"My eyes were injured, so I can't see." The little monkey muttered, refusing to cooperate.

"It's still there if you can't see it," Patriarch Bodhi's stubborn temper came up, and he insisted that the little monkey worship him as a teacher. He waved his hand and healed the little monkey's eyes in an instant. If you lose your eyes, if you learn from me, even if you are blinded, you can cure yourself in the future."

The little monkey blinked, but for a moment, he could feel a little light, and soon, he could clearly see the people above the hall.

This ancestor looked much younger than he sounded, and he was quite good-looking.

The little monkey's lack of vocabulary probably only has two adjectives: good-looking and beautiful. However, he is a little monkey, not a little starling, so he doesn't have a complete grasp of human vocabulary, so he can only have a rough impression. But what I have to say is that this so-called Patriarch Bodhi's appearance is not inferior to that of the man in red and white.

"After learning skills from you, you can still be blinded by others in the future, so the skills learned must not be good skills," the little monkey muttered, without any gratitude, and refused cleanly, "It can be seen that you are also I don't have any real skills, I don't learn."

Everyone in His Highness was in an uproar, wishing they could take action for the ancestor, and teach this ignorant monkey a lesson.

"Aren't you looking for someone?" Patriarch Bodhi didn't get angry, and he was persuasive, "If you learn the way of the word 'shu' from me [2], you will be in the huge Three Realms in the future. If you want to find someone, It’s just easy to catch.”

The little monkey blinked: "Can you fight without getting hurt?"

Patriarch Bodhi smiled and said, "No, no."

The little monkey shook his head, disgusted: "Don't learn, don't learn."

"How about teaching you the way of the word 'flow'?" Bodhi asked again, "I will guarantee you to surrender without fighting. Like this, you don't need to worry about getting hurt."

The little monkey blinked: "It seems like this kind of kung fu is all about the mouth, I don't learn it, I don't learn it."

Bodhi smiled again: "How about the way of the word 'quiet' [2]?"

"No way, no way," the little monkey waved his hand, "Could it be that you want to deceive me, the first two are fine, this static word, isn't it sorry for the monkey skin on me?"

Bodhi laughed loudly: "Then choose someone who is worthy of it, how about I teach you the way of the word 'moving' [2]?"

This is a good idea, it was made for me as soon as I heard it!

The little monkey blinked, feeling a bit moved, just about to speak, and then thought carefully, although this method is good, but it is not perfect, it is the ancestor who lied to me for his troublesome karma, it must be possible, I have to It's good to inquire carefully.Don't try to learn the tip of a candle with a silver gun, it looks useless!

"My knowledge is shallow, so how can I say this word?"

"This is to have stillness in the movement, to take action in the stillness, to nourish the stillness with the movement, and to worship the movement with the stillness."

The little monkey lowered his eyes and thought, the first three of this man spoke clearly and plainly, but when he reached the last one, he faltered and spoke vaguely, could it be that he was really trying to deceive him?Let me try it on him.

"Like this method, may it help me find someone?"

Bodhi nodded: "Yes, yes."

"Can it also help me not to be injured or injured in battle?"

Bodhi nodded: "Yes, yes."

"Can it help me live forever?"

Some people couldn't help laughing: "Why do you ask so much, why don't you learn the Buddha's name from the ancestors, what kind of way to learn."

People in blue robes followed suit and booed: "Yes, you were on the stone steps before, didn't you try to hold a sharp knife with your body, this is deeply rooted in Buddhism."

Bodhi was not annoyed, on the contrary, he laughed again after hearing the little monkey's unreasonable trouble.

"I know what you want to ask. If you come under my door, you don't need to worry."

The little monkey also laughed: "I know what you're thinking, and I'm not worried at all. It's just that if there is a way to balance both ends, it would be very convenient."

Bodhi smiled deeply, the number of times he laughed today is probably more than one yuan.

"You don't have to say, I agree."

"That being the case," the little monkey fell to the ground and bowed: "Master, please accept my disciple's bow."

Bodhi suppressed his smile: "Do you have a surname?"【3】

The little monkey said with a smile: "I have a good temper. If you beat and scold me, I will never fight back, nor will I fight back."【3】

Bodhi laughed and said, "Who asked you that? I mean, do you have a surname?"

The little monkey scratched his head: "I don't have this one. Why don't Master get me one."

Bodhi smiled and nodded in response: "Alright, since that's the case, you can call him 'Wukong'."

"Wukong, Wukong too," the little monkey widened his eyes and laughed three times: "Then what's my last name?"

Bodhi couldn't get used to his humble appearance, so he lowered his face and squinted at him: "Huzen, Hu and Sun, choose one."

The little monkey was not afraid, so he just chose a name for himself with a smile on his face: "Master's place is called Xieyue Sanxing Cave, the three, and Sun Ye. Since Master already calls me Wukong, I will have the cheek to choose another Sun character, and my full name is Sun Wukong." alright."

"Since you have chosen your own name today, you must be worthy of it," Bodhi stood up, and hit Wukong on the head three times with a ruler in his hand, "The empty one is the origin."

The little monkey just smiled and let Bodhi hit him on the head without being annoyed at all.

Bodhi closed the middle door with his hands behind his back, leaving everyone behind.

Everyone talked a lot, and the little monkey looked at Bodhi's back and smiled.

The empty one is the original source.

But Bodhi is empty.

Wukong, Wukong.

The Bodhi Patriarch hoped that what he realized was Bodhi or the original source, which is intriguing.

He tentatively chose his grandson, and he also used Sanxing Cave, the residence of Patriarch Bodhi, as an explanation. Patriarch Bodhi didn't say anything, let alone refuse.

The little monkey touched the bodhi seed on his neck and smiled meaningfully.

The author has something to say:

1. He is a fraudster, so where can he cultivate the Tao fruit? ——Quoted from the original text

When the Monkey King saw it, he fell down and kowtowed countless times. He only said: "Master! Master! My disciple Zhixin pays homage! Zhixin pays homage!" The patriarch said, "Where are you from? Let's talk about your hometown." Know your name, and worship again." The Monkey King said: "Disciple Dongsheng Shenzhou Aolai Country Huaguoshan Shuiliandongren." The patriarch ordered: "Get out! He is a fraudster, what kind of Taoism is practiced there? fruit!"

2. The nouns are taken from the original text, but the dialogue is not. The patriarch said: "There are 360 ​​side doors in the word 'Tao', and all the side doors have positive results. I don't know which one you learn?" Wukong said: "It's the meaning of respecting the teacher. Disciple listens wholeheartedly." Patriarch said: "How about I teach you the way in the word 'shu'?" Wukong said: "How do you say the way of Shu?" Patriarch said: "In the door of Shu, there are some invitations. Immortal Fuluan, ask bu yarrow, you can know the principle of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil." Wukong said: "Is it possible to live forever like this?" Patriarch said: "No! No!" Wukong said: "Don't learn! Don't learn! "

The patriarch said again: "How about teaching you the way in the word 'Liu'?" Wukong asked again: "What is the meaning in the word Liu?" The patriarch said: "The door of Liu is Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoists, Yin-Yang Schools, Mohist Schools, medical schools, or read the scriptures, or recite the Buddha, and pay tribute to the truth." Wukong said: "Is it possible to live forever like this?" "Lianzhu'." Wukong said: "Master, I am an honest person, and I don't know how to speak in the market. How do you call it a 'bilianzhu'?" The patriarch said: "People build houses to make them stronger. If you set up a pillar, one day the building will collapse, and he will die." Wukong said: "According to this, it will not last long. Don't learn! Don't learn!"

The patriarch said: "How about teaching you the way of the word 'quiet'?" Wukong said: "What is the positive fruit in the word 'jing'?" Holding a fast, or sleeping, or doing meritorious deeds, can be incorporated into sitting in the gate and so on." Wukong said: "Can this also lead to longevity?" The patriarch said: "It's also like 'kiln head adobe'." A line said that I don't know how to speak the market language. How do you call it 'kiln head adobe'?" The patriarch said: "Just like the bricks and tiles on the kiln head, although they have been formed, they have not been tempered by water and fire. If it rains heavily, he will be overwhelmed." Wukong said: "It's not long-term. Don't learn! Don't learn!"

The patriarch said: "How about teaching you the way of the word 'moving'?" Wukong said: "How about the way of moving the door?" **, rub the umbilical cord to pass the breath, use recipes to cook it, burn grass to make a tripod, add red lead, smelt autumn stones, and drink women's milk, etc." Wukong said: "Is it possible to live forever like this?" The patriarch said: " This desire to live forever is like 'catching the moon in the water'." Wukong said: "Master is here again! Why is it called 'fishing the moon in the water'?" The patriarch said: "The moon is in the sky, and there are shadows in the water. Although you can see it, you just can't touch it. In the end, it will only become an empty ear." Wukong said: "I don't want to learn! I don't want to learn!"

Hearing this, the patriarch jumped off the high platform with a thud, and with a ruler in his hand, he designated Wukong and said, "You hozen, you don't learn this way, you don't learn that way, what do you do?" He stepped forward and hit Wukong three times on the head. He stepped down, with his hands behind his back, walked inside, closed the middle door, and left the crowd.Everyone in the class who listened to the lecture was terrified, and they all complained to Wukong: "You are very shameless! The master taught you the Tao, why didn't you learn it, but talked back to the master? This has offended him, I don't know. When will you come out!" At this moment, Ju complained about him, and despised him at the same time.Wukong wasn't annoyed at all, he just smiled along his face.It turned out that the monkey king had already broken the mystery of the plate and was secretly in his heart, so he didn't compete with everyone, but just remained silent.If the patriarch beats him three times, teach him to put his heart on the third watch, walk inside with hands behind his back, and close the middle door, teach him to advance through the back door, and teach him the way from the secret place.

3. The Monkey King said again: "I have no sex. If someone scolds me, I won't be angry; if they hit me, I won't be angry. It's just a gift. I have no sex in my life." The patriarch said, "It's not this kind of sex. Your parents What's your surname?" The Monkey King said: "I don't have parents either." The Patriarch said: "I don't have any parents, so I guess I was born on a tree?" The Monkey King said: "I am not born on a tree, but I grew on a rock. I remember that there is a fairy stone on Huaguo Mountain, and when the stone breaks, I will be born." The patriarch heard this, and secretly said happily: "This is said, but it was created by heaven and earth. Get up and walk around and let me see." The monkey king jumped up, Go and turn twice.The patriarch smiled and said, "Although your body is humble, you are like a hozen eating pine cones.

[In summary, the original text of this chapter quotes a stalk and an original sentence. 】

4. I just discovered that Bodhi is not a good person in the original book.

This is promising and effective, collecting yin to nourish yang, climbing the bow to excrete, rubbing the navel to pass the breath, concocting it with prescriptions, burning grass to make a tripod, adding red lead, practicing autumn stones, and taking women's milk, etc.

Wu that little thief, that evil cultivator who drank women's milk!watch out!

5. I still think it's cute that they flirt with each other like no one else!Although the original is awkward.

6. I am addicted to games all day long. I play Zha Ji San in the morning, play Onmyoji at noon, and play Hero Kill at night.Start working hard tomorrow, and be a person who is out of vulgar interests.
