[Journey to the West] Monkey, be good

The author has something to say: dog blood, dog blood, that's it, the author has given up treatment

Before this fairy's house collapsed, the Jade Emperor and his elders promised to rebuild a golden palace for this fairy, but the efficiency of the urban construction bureau in Tianting was really worrying, and it was delayed for a month or two. Ben Xianjun's house was built.According to the saying that one day is in the sky and one year is in the ground, that is to say, the fairy and the monkey have lived in Shilipu for five or sixty years.

But the day is not boring.This fairy became very playful, and simply used a transformation spell, turning the monkey and me into gray-haired old human beings.Sixty years in the world are fleeting.We two "bad old men" held hands for a walk in the street, went to a lantern festival at night, watched those mortals dancing in the square, and occasionally envied them——

Many people are envious of immortals who can have endless lifespans, but who knows, in fact, immortals also envy them.Do you envy them that they can choose a city to live in their old age, and find a person with a white head?If you have a loved one by your side, you don't need a thousand years, a hundred years is enough.

Heling Hexiantong, the envoy in front of the Jade Emperor Throne, came at this time. Seeing the white hair and wrinkled faces of this fairy and the monkey, he was startled and asked: "Great Sage, Yuan Jun, you two What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"

"It's all right." Ben Xianjun hurriedly took off the long beard and beard sticking to his face, and then took off the white wig, and said with a smile: "These few days are boring, and the Great Sage and I want to taste the taste of growing old together. See how mortals live their lives."

He Ling understood, nodded his head and said: "The life of a mortal is only a hundred years. Compared with the gods, he is no different from floating. How can he live? Naturally, it will pass in the blink of an eye."

Ben Xianjun felt that what he said was wrong, so he tilted his head and looked at the monkey.The monkey put his arm around the fairy gentleman's shoulders, lowered his mouth to the fairy gentleman with lowered eyes, and didn't say anything.But this fairy has already understood in his heart - he and I think the same - only envy mandarin ducks, not immortals.

Heling came here this time to inform me that the Jade Emperor had built a new house for me in Xishan.I haven't returned to the Heavenly Court for nearly a year, and the nine thousand peach trees in the Pantao Garden have not been taken care of. It seems that the peach blossoms will be in full bloom in two or three months, so there must be someone to take care of them.

Heling followed the Jade Emperor's will to take this fairy back to the heaven.Ben Xianjun asked Houzi what he thought. If he wanted to stay in Shilipu for a few more days, I could come back in a few days.The Jade Emperor has always treated me well, even if I don't go back for a while, he probably won't blame me.

The monkey just laughed and said that everything is according to the meaning of the fairy, as long as I am happy.Thinking that he might not have been back to Huaguo Mountain for a long time, General Horse Monkey and Tongbei Ape had already visited Shilipu several times, sending a lot of papers waiting for him to correct and sign.It seems that Huaguoshan has not been very peaceful recently, a few little monkeys divided into two factions and fought fiercely, causing civil strife.

So Ben Xianjun decided: I will go back to my West Mountain, and he will go back to his Huaguo Mountain. I will handle my personal affairs by myself, and we will have time to get together later.Before returning to the Heavenly Court, I stayed with Heling for lunch, and then a group of four returned to the Heavenly Court.

Su Qingyan was taken away by the devil, but there was still no news.Fortunately, those little beggars are children after all, and they have great forgetfulness. They only clamored to find brother Qingyan in the first few months. Only when Tang was basking in the sun and chatting in the yard did he think of Su Qingyan, and sighed, "We have waited for Qingyan's brother all his life, but the one who came was a no-returner".

Hearing these words, Ben Xianjun felt a little sad for no reason.This is the life and death of mortals.A farewell is a lifetime.The immortal gentleman tried to ask the monkey if he could ask Laojun for some elixir to give to these little beggars, or go to the underworld to cross out the names of these people from the book of life and death.After all, these children are all grown up and grown old together by Immortal Lord and him.

But the monkey shook his head helplessly, saying that this is the fate of mortals, even if this fairy is unwilling to admit it, compared to the life of gods for thousands of years, their fate is indeed the same as that of ants.Knowing that what he said was the truth, I will not mention this matter any more.

Not long ago, old Gao Yuanwai sent a letter saying that he and Yuanwai's wife also followed the example of their daughter and son-in-law and traveled all over the world.Now there is nothing worth worrying about in such a big Gaolaozhuang, except for a few servants left behind to look after the house, so Bajie and his wife are not in a hurry to go back, but plan to stay in Shilipu for a long time.

That's fine, once the Immortal Lord and the monkey left, the yard was empty and it was just left for them to live in.Moreover, most of the little beggars back then are too old to walk and can hardly take care of themselves. Bajie and his wife can just help take care of them.

After the monkey used the somersault cloud to send the fairy back to the heaven, he returned to his Huaguo Mountain.Ben Xianjun was not in a hurry to go back to Xishan to see the new house, but first went to Yuqing Palace to meet the Jade Emperor.Although I am a rotten wood, I don't know much about the world, but I still know the basic etiquette.As a minister, the king is supreme.

At that time, the Jade Emperor was flipping through ancient books in his study room, his hair was unkempt and his face was battered, as if he hadn't rested for half a month.I have never seen him like this before. In my memory, his majesty and inviolability has always been sacred, and his every move is the righteous way of the sky. How has he ever been so decadent?

During the days when this fairy left, something extraordinary must have happened in the heavenly court.And certainly not a blessing to be rejoiced in.

"Jade Emperor." Ben Xianjun made a bow.

The Jade Emperor raised his head from the ten-foot-high scroll, the red blood in his eyes was clearly visible, his lips were chapped, and he seemed to have not recovered for a while after seeing this fairy, with a stiff expression, and asked: "Why did you come back?" gone?"

"..." Ben Xianjun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, picked up the teapot at the corner of the table, poured half a cup of tea and handed it over, and said with a light smile: "Didn't your old man order He Xiantong to go down to the world in person and call Xiaoxian back? What, you committed a crime Confused?"

The Jade Emperor was stunned, put down the ancient book in his hand, thought for a while, and then smiled, patted his forehead with his palm, and said with a smile: "Ah-ah, look at me, I'm so confused. Yes, I will You recalled it - your golden palace was built a few days ago, did you go to see it just now?" While speaking, he took the water offered by the fairy and took a sip, it seemed that he hadn't gotten it for a long time. Rest, I haven't even drank water for a long time.

Ben Xianjun filled the cup for him, and said softly: "Go back to the Jade Emperor, not yet. This little fairy came to greet you as soon as he came back. Why, you are so busy, it is the Tianting who is in the sky recently. Is something wrong?"

"Ah—this." The Jade Emperor seemed to feel that he was "inadvertently" discovering something. He gave a dry laugh, patted the back of this fairy's hand, and said in a secretive way: "It's nothing, we are in heaven. Very well, you don’t need to worry about it. I heard that you have been playing with that monkey head of Monkey King in Shilipu these days, how are you doing, are you happy?——I see that you are getting fat, it seems that he has raised you well.”

Ben Xianjun's cheeks were a little hot, and he pulled a chair and sat down at the table, resting his chin on one hand, and said with a subtle smile: "The great sage is very good, Huanxi likes him very much—fat, fat because he cooks The craftsmanship is so good, I can never get enough of it.”

The Jade Emperor looked at this fairy lovingly, silent for a while, nodded, and said: "It's good, it's good. Huanxi has grown up, and finally someone loves her."

Ben Xianjun tilted his head, smiled and said to him: "Jade Emperor, don't try to change the subject. What do you mean 'our heavenly court is very good'? Are the other four heavenly courts in the southeast, northwest, and north not good?"

Ben Xianjun was just asking casually, just making a joke.Unexpectedly, the old man Jade Emperor's smile froze, and he suddenly became worried.Ben Xianjun looked at the table, and the ancient books that the Jade Emperor read before turned out to be some secret collections of Buddhism, and there are many ways to resolve the demons in them.Slightly taken aback, Ben Xianjun asked: "Jade Emperor, this is..."

The Jade Emperor hesitated to speak, then stopped, sighed, and said, "It's not the three old monks from Xitian."

Ben Xianjun: "Huh?"

But what the Jade Emperor said next shocked me so much that my hands and feet felt numb.

That day Jin Chan came to look for Monkey, not for personal matters.It's because this fairy is too small-minded, and treats a gentleman's stomach with a villainous heart.West Heavenly Court fell into a greater crisis than the Dao Fa Conference 2000 years ago.

The Buddhas of the Western Paradise abide by the pure rules, have no desires or pursuits, and only focus on goodness to save all living beings.The Buddha once cut meat to feed the eagle, and the golden cicada was willing to reincarnate the ninth life for the sake of saving the world.

However, the Buddha can cross the calamity, but no one can cross the Buddha.

If all living beings are not grass and trees, how can they be careless?If there is a heart, how can there be no desire and no desire?The monkey used to be a Buddha, but later he became a layman because of this immortal king; Bajie was once a Buddha, but he retired from the altar for Cuilan; Jin Chan was born a Buddha, but because of the monkey, he also shed his noble and plain clothes Long hair is tired of love.

As for the other Buddhist disciples in Xitian, their determination is not even as good as that of Jin Chan, so how can they really have no distracting thoughts and focus on doing good?

The Buddhas of the Western Paradise are enshrined by the world, listen to the sufferings of the world, and solve problems for countless believers.Believers often tell them their hearts and make Buddha's vows under the Buddha's golden body.But who can guarantee that the wishes of these believers are all kind and positive?Without the slightest bit of resentment, jealousy, pain, anger?Heartless, loveless, righteous?They are human beings, mortals with seven emotions, six desires, love, hatred and pain.

For example, every day, countless people ask the Buddha to show his spirit to help defeat their enemies. This is hatred; Delicate lady, this is lust.

When the Buddhas sat in meditation in the scripture hall, they often heard such selfish desires filled with the world of mortals.They are enshrined by mortals and enjoy mortal incense, so they naturally want to satisfy the wishes of mortals.Over time, the empty mirror stand under Bodhi was also stained with dust.Those hatred, jealousy, greed, lust... all become the six roots that the Buddhas cut off.

If life calamity can cause four thousand gods and Buddhas to fall, they must rely on swallowing golden cicada meat or this fairy's golden peach to survive the calamity.Then the impure six roots will completely destroy their Buddha heart, which is a more terrible fall than death.Therefore, every time the Buddhas of the Western Paradise have bad emotions and selfish desires like ordinary people, they will try their best to strip them from their Buddha hearts and seal them in an eternal dark place.

That place is called Avici Hell.

Only the most restrained can be the most free;

Only the cleanest can be the most evil.

Who would have thought that the disciples of the Buddhist sect who saved all sentient beings clean and innocent would step into the most evil, filthy and filthy place in the Three Realms after stepping out?

And just a few months ago, the gate of hell shook for some reason, and the filthy aura that was sealed inside was about to move.

Tathagata went to check the seal, only to find that the turbid air that had never existed for tens of millions of years turned into a blue phantom for no reason.From the appearance, Xu Ying should be a 25-year-old smiling scholar.The man was holding a literati fan, full of smiles, gentle and gentle, but his light gray eyes were as poisonous as snakes and scorpions.

Tathagata just looked at him inadvertently, and then shuddered.It is the entity transformed from the gathering of the most evil, the most evil, the most hated and the most hated in the three realms, and it is the heart demon that the Buddhas of the Western Paradise will never defeat.

"Later, what happened to the Buddha?" I just returned to the heavenly court, and the news was blocked. I didn't know that such changes had occurred in the fairy world in just a few months.

The Jade Emperor shook his head and said, "Since that day, I have disappeared."

"!" Ben Xianjun was shocked.

The Jade Emperor began to flip through his files again, and said: "Not only the West Heavenly Court, but also the other four great Heavenly Courts are all soldiers. After all, once the most evil things in the Three Realms break through the seal, they will not be far from destroying the world. , I was worried that you would not be safe in the lower realm, so I called you back. After all, we still have several layers of barriers to protect us in the fairy world. If the smiling scholar really comes out, he can handle it for a while."

Ben Xianjun felt that there was something wrong with what the Jade Emperor said, so he frowned and asked, "No, even if the smiling scholar breaks free from Abi Hell and wants to destroy the world, he doesn't have to target Xiaoxian. My name is unknown, and my name is not listed in the "Feng Shen Bang", so he probably doesn't know who Xiaoxian is at all."

"..." The Jade Emperor took a deep look at Ben Xianjun and said, "The smiling scholar is just a phantom now. The first thing he does after breaking through the seal must be to find himself an immortal body." .And looking at the Three Realms today, apart from Jin Chan, you are the only person who has the power to resurrect from death."
