[Journey to the West] Empty Enlightenment Bodhi

"You take this pair of swords and go to the heavenly court, and the people in the heavenly court will naturally take care of you."

Wukong frowned: "But didn't you say that no one should know that I am your disciple?"

"Those who should know will always know. What's more, this pair of swords is not my token." Bodhi continued, "The pair of swords owned by Yuanshi Tianzun is quite famous among his confidants, because Yuanshi Tianzun has always Don't let other people touch them, and they never allow others to touch and use them. If you take this pair of swords to the sky, most people in the sky will think that you are the descendant chosen by Yuanshi Tianzun, What's more, they will regard you as the reincarnation of Yuanshi Tianzun. This is very helpful for our plan."

Wukong frowned even tighter: "I used these two swords, when I was at Huaguo Mountain."

Bodhi was stunned for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal: "Perhaps after Yuanshi Tianzun fell, the pair of swords found their masters again." Bodhi continued, "That's not to say that he deceived Yuanshi Tianzun's confidantes, Now you are the master of this pair of swords. As for what those people in the heavenly court think, that is not up to us."

Wukong looked at Bodhi for a long time, and after a while, he said, "Bodhi, tell me, which step do you want to take? Revenge, power, or subversion? I don't think you want to avenge Yuanshi Tianzun, but It's more like wanting to devour the remaining power of Yuanshi Tianzun."

Bodhi sighed: "Do you know how the Taishang Laojun became a moral deity?"

"What? Isn't it just like you, cultivated?"

Bodhi shook his head: "One day, Yuanshi and I watched the disturbances in the world. Yuanshi sighed and said that the world needs moral laws, so there is a moral god. Taishang Laojun is the god of Yuanshi Tianzun. He came because of moral laws. came to this world, so it is called Daode Tianzun."

"Yuan Shi ordered him to control the moral laws of the world and measure everything."

"The Taishang Laojun doesn't like others to call him Daodetianzun because he is the god of Yuanshi. He thinks the name Daodetianzun is an embarrassing brand for him. But being grateful to Yuanshi, he secretly accumulated strength, and gave him a fatal blow when Yuanshi was not paying attention."

"If there is no Yuanshi Tianzun, how can there be such a moral Tianzun? I can't understand his ungrateful behavior, so I have to take care of him, although to be honest, I don't think much of Shang Yuanshi."

Wukong pursed his lips, and asked for a while: "If Daode Tianzun is not the God of Yuanshi, but is cultivated like you, will you take care of such trivial matters?"

"I haven't thought about it," Bodhi was a little surprised, but didn't hesitate too long, "Probably so."

Wukong shook his head: "Master, what you cultivate is probably not Tao?"

Bodhi was even more surprised. He looked at Wukong in amazement and was extremely shocked: "How do you know?"

"Actually, I was a little skeptical when I was preaching in the front altar that day," Wukong found a place to sit down, and analyzed one by one, "Shi Zhi is your confidant, but her understanding of Tao is not even as deep as Shen Ran's." What's more, the Tao in her heart is actually not Tao at all; but she is also the owner of the Dao Valley, which doesn't make sense—how can the owner of the Dao Valley not understand the Tao as deeply as the Master of the Pill Pavilion?"

"Master, you are Shi Zhi's master, and Shi Zhi is your confidant. In this case, Shi Zhi's comprehension of the Tao has such a big deviation. Unless you have been deliberately misleading her, it doesn't make sense. What's more, even though I was the one who tried to test it out at the time, but you, Master, said the words 'There is no right or wrong in the Tao, let alone right or wrong', but Shi Zhi thanked me at that time, which proves that you have been misleading her Assumptions."

"I told her that day, 'If you don't practice Taoism, after several reincarnations, you might have attained Taoism and become an immortal now', she snorted it. It can be seen that she thinks it is wrong to practice Taoism without doing anything, and it is useless—— This non-action to cure happens to be the most fundamental one in Taoism. Leaving this one aside, what is left for the ascetic?"

"This is too unreasonable," Wukong shook his head, "Although Shi Zhi's cultivation base is high, Master has Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. With Shi Zhi's ideas and ambitions, Confucianism is more suitable for her than Daogu. There are so many disciples under Master. , although it is not very good for Shi Zhi, but in general, it is still much better than other disciples. Shi Zhi's talent is really not high on the road of Taoism, so there is no need for the master to restrain her of."

"Unless that position, she must come."

"But, why? Under what circumstances, the seat of the leader of the Taoist sect must be seated by a person with a Confucian heart?" Wukong smiled, "The answer is very simple, isn't it?"

"Speaking of which, Wuming told me earlier that this bodhi illusion is famous for its three sects and five characters."

"I was still very surprised at the time. The Taoist and Buddhist cultivators in the Bodhi Illusion are very capable. I have seen many of them, and I know that they are indeed capable; but this Confucianism cultivator, I have been in this Bodhi Illusion for so long. Not a master—at least compared to Buddhism and Taoism. The Confucianism sect has neither disciples nor masters who are practicing; there is not even a leader of the Confucianism sect.”

"If Daoxiu cultivates like this, I might not feel anything. After all, Daoxiu pays attention to following one's heart and going with the flow. But how can Confucianism cultivating like Daoxiu "be good for oneself" instead of helping the world? It doesn't make sense. "Wukong smiled and poured himself a cup of tea, "Of course, Shi Zhi talked about her dream of helping the world on the day when she opened the altar to give lectures, and the Taoist people at that time, although they disagreed, no one showed any disapproval." color."

"So this problem was solved by myself on the day Master opened the altar to give a lecture."

"Shi Zhi's ideal is probably also Master's ideal."

Bodhi sighed: "You're right. Shi Zhiben followed me to practice Confucianism, and I let her enter the Taoist sect and minor in Taoist exercises, in order to subtly influence people in the Taoist sect."

"What I am doing is subversion."

"Use Confucianism to subvert the entire orthodoxy."

"I told you," Bodhi sighed, "I don't look down on Yuanshi. Yuanshi, as a person standing on the way of the Tao, at the top, has nothing to do all day long, and everything is said to go with the flow. I can't bear this. In my opinion, if a person has something to do, he should give back to the world instead of just sitting around and doing nothing."

"So, I thought," Bodhi looked at Wukong, his eyes firm and full of faith, "I want to establish a new order, based on feedback and mutual assistance as the source, instead of Taoism's few desires and inaction."

Wukong: ...

No wonder you always make me think about the source, the source, it turns out that the source is here.

"I don't agree with your idea." Wukong smiled and drank the tea in his cup. "But I will help you. As for how far you can go, that is your own business."

Bodhi was ready to be rejected by Wukong. Unexpectedly, Wukong accepted it so easily. For a while, Bodhi was a little dazed.

"Why do you want to help me?"

"It's very simple," Wukong relaxed, "Master once enlightened Tathagata, and he has a half-teacher friendship with Tathagata; he also mentioned in that book that he was rescued by Maitreya Buddha, so he must have a lot to do with Maitreya Buddha; let alone Master is one of the Three Purities, and his understanding of Dao is definitely not shallow; but in the end, Master still chose Confucianism, so I think that there must be something extraordinary in the way of Confucianism."

"What's more," Wukong looked at Bodhi and smiled meaningfully, "Since Master has admitted that he loves me so much that he can't help himself, then I will definitely repay him. Stand by Master's side and help Master conquer the world."

Wukong smiled meaningfully against the gleaming face of national beauty and heavenly fragrance, and Bodhi seemed to be fascinated by seeing a hundred flowers blooming for a moment.

"I never expected—" Bodhi muttered in a low voice, which was inaudible.

"Master," Wukong waved his hand in front of Bodhi's eyes, "Hey, Master, I have returned to my soul."

Bodhi concealed his embarrassment: "Ahem, let me introduce you to the layout of the Immortal Palace first. I don't have much influence in the heavenly court. There are only three people. Don't be too small."

"No way," Wukong comforted him, "Master, if you stand behind Yuanshi Tianzun, it is already very good to pick up a few leaked treasures in the heavenly court. After all, in everyone's opinion, Lingbao Tianzun must be standing behind Yuanshi Tianzun Yes."

"The first one is Emperor Ziwei of the Central Committee."

Wukong opened his eyes wide in disbelief: "Master, you really scared me! Don't think too little of your light words, I thought you would say something like Pleiades Sunshine King Roaring Sky Dog. This is the truth. It never occurred to me that the Central Ziwei Emperor, who is the second among the four emperors, lives only under the Jade Emperor. Indulging in the sea of ​​stars, determined to be a male god who is as transparent as tulle in the eyes of gods? Master, how did you take him under your command?"

Bodhi shook his head: "Central Emperor Ziwei is actually quite easy to get along with. He doesn't want to get close to others, just because of different ways."

Wukong nodded: "Oh, I understand. You two hit it off immediately, and you are both supporters of Confucianism, right?"

"It can be said that," Bodhi nodded, "he usually won't show up. If you need anything, you can contact Taibai Jinxing."

"Okay," Wukong nodded, "Suddenly I can't wait, I want to know the next few." Wukong stroked his chin and thought, "Three Qings, Four Royals, Five Elders, Six Divisions, what else?"

The author has something to say:

1. A baby guessed the identity of the man in red correctly. [Hey, little baby who guessed wrong, let me tell you, for those who have a little answer, you guess, I guess, everyone guesses a small game, the public image of the answer must be the one with a name that appeared in the previous article]

2. Four royals: the Jade Emperor, in charge of the gods.Lagerstroemia in charge of astrology.Gou Chen, the master of killing.Houtu, the main birth.It's okay if you can't remember, it will appear in the future anyway

3. I have wanted to say this for a long time, but I have been forgetting =. = Don’t believe all Bodhi’s words.Sometimes he said lies, and sometimes he said wrong things. After all, he is not omniscient and omnipotent.Bodhi also has limitations in his understanding.

4. The little friends who don’t understand stand up. After Wukong was crushed under Huaguo Mountain, everything came to light. [Hey, Bodhi sounds like a villain, but it’s not, hahaha, Wukong made it himself hahaha]

In the original book, Wukong was suppressed by himself. Hahaha, I laughed to death when I read the original book. Although I really hate Tathagata, the little monkey is really cute. It’s so cute. It’s too cute. Hahaha I dug it for myself. Hang Yi jumped down without hesitation, hahahaha, when he woke up, he scolded the Tathagata for telling him to lie to him hahahahaha, how could there be such a naive and cute little monkey hahaha
