That said, what did the Monkey King learn in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain? The first thing he learned was cultural lessons, including spoken Chinese, Chinese grammar, written Chinese, Taoist classics, and how to burn incense. Then he learned life lessons, such as picking water, sweeping the ground, hoeing, raising flowers, planting trees, fetching firewood, carrying water, and lighting fires. The reason why Sun Wukong was assigned to manage the Peach Garden a few years later was because he had studied this subject at the "university" on Fangcun Mountain.
So what kind of education is the Monkey King? In today's words, at least a master's degree. Because the Monkey King this "university", a on is seven years, serious master's degree.
One day, the master Bodhi called a group of post-doctoral students to give a public lecture, and those who came to listen to the lecture were all high-level scholars, and some of them followed the master Bodhi to cultivate immortality and succeeded. Sun Wukong, a junior student, also listened to the lecture. What did Grandmaster Bodhi talk about this time? It was about the profound theory of the unity of the three religions. According to the original text, "(Master Bodhi) said a moment of Taoism and a moment of Zen, and the three schools of thought were in harmony. (Original text)"
General lectures, that is how solemn things. Sun Wukong listen to the lecture is different from others, he took this big class as a comic listen. When he heard the happy place, Wukong danced on the spot, almost shouted "yelp~" and called out.
In fact, Master Bodhi favored Sun Wukong over his disciples who studied mechanically. Have the intention to teach him a high level of Taoism, but also afraid of other disciples have opinions, so in full knowledge of the Sun Wukong want to learn the method of longevity, the premise of the Sun Wukong must teach the Sun Wukong fortune-telling, the nine streams, meditation to dispel the valley, alchemy. Sun Wukong how to say is also in China for eight or nine years of people, these a few disciplines of learning still do not know what's going on. The Monkey King of Mount Huaguo set up a stall to draw lots and tell fortunes? It's not like that. Nine streams even more do not learn, Confucius in the Chen food nearly starved to death. Monkeys are naturally active, let him meditate might as well kill him.
The alchemy of the Dan is even less, don't look at Sun Wukong hall a Monkey King His Majesty, but he can really no money! He can't afford to refine dan ah. Thus, in full view of the public, Master Bodhi gave the Monkey King a dumb riddle, let him go to the house in the latter half of the night to learn the art. Sun Wukong understood and appeared in the room of Grandmaster Bodhi in the middle of the night on time.
So what kind of profound Taoism did Grandmaster Bodhi pass on to Sun Wukong?
The secret is as follows--
The secret of the mystery and the circle, and there is no other way to say it.
It's all about the spirit, the energy, and the spirit of the spirit, and the spirit of the spirit, and the spirit of the spirit, and the spirit of the spirit.
No leakage, hidden in the body, you receive my preaching from the road to prosperity.
These words are very useful, so you can get rid of your evil desires and get cool.
Get the coolness, the light is bright and clear, good to the Dantai to enjoy the bright moon.
The moon hides the rabbits and the sun hides the crows, and the tortoises and snakes are all intertwined.
It is the only thing that can make a man's life strong, but it is the only thing that can make a man's life strong, but it is the only thing that can make a man's life strong.
Save the five elements and use them upside down, the work is finished with the Buddha and the immortal.
This set of mnemonics is remarkable, all the future Sun Wukong's magical powers, the root is from these few sentences of mnemonics to realize.
These phrases are equivalent to the Nine Suns or the Nine Yin Jing, and after learning them, you can learn everything, and then you can learn something else very quickly. Some people say, "I also recite these phrases, how come I didn't learn Taoism? Well, I can also read "The way of heaven is to make up for deficiencies, so emptiness is better than reality, and deficiencies are better than surpluses." But I still don't know the Nine Yin Zhen Jing.
In short, the Monkey King since the realization of this set of passwords, this practice is three flowers gathered top, five gas towards the yuan, from a person into a fairy. Others hundreds of years of cultivation results, Sun Wukong three years to complete. This is on the importance of having a good master.
After the cultivation of the inner elixir, there will be a crossing once in five hundred years. Of course, Sun Wukong will also face the tribulation. In order for Sun Wukong to escape the tribulation, Grandmaster Bodhi passed on the method of seventy-two changes to Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong's 72 transformations are his profound magic power to overcome the enemy in the future, but in fact, the most important function of this set of magic is to avoid the tribulation. For example, during the fire calamity, the Monkey King can change into a snake, which does not have feet, and of course does not have the Yongquan acupoint, so naturally he is not afraid of the fire calamity. When the wind robberies, he can change into an avocado, which has become a plant, where there are still acupoints for the wind robberies to drill holes? This is the ultimate mystery of the seventy-two changes.
Later, Mr. Bodhi passed on the Monkey King's somersault cloud technique, a somersault of 18,000 miles, not to do the express delivery of all the talent. Suddenly one day, just because the Monkey King in front of people changed a pine tree, can be said to be small can not be small things. Great talent, this on the Bodhi master was furious, Wukong cultivation is good, cultivation of the heart is still far from it, so use this matter to send Wukong back to the mountain of flowers and fruits.
But the Bodhi Master did not allow the Monkey King to say his name, identity, dojo. Because Sun Wukong's temperament as long as the clean up a handful of demons, that pleasure simply can not stop, trouble is sooner or later.
The Monkey King drove up the clouds so fly, the mood that called a cool ah. After so many years of study, this time finally graduated. In fact, the Monkey King's cultural quality is very great. For example, this time, the Monkey King assigned a poem, written or very literate, we feel it -
Going to the time when the mortal bones of the mortal fetus heavy, the road to the body light body is also light.
No one in the world is willing to set their mind to it, but it is clear that they have set their mind to cultivate XuanXuan.
Then it was difficult to cross the sea, but today it is very easy to go back and forth.
The words of farewell are still ringing in my ears, but I don't expect to see the eastern sea in a moment.
After a few years, the Monkey King can replace the Tang Monk as the leader of the team, without a hard cultural foundation is absolutely not. Fetching scriptures to fetch scriptures, even can't read the scriptures, can be the head of the fetching scriptures team?
At this time, the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits is being bullied by an unorthodox half-breed demon king. How unorthodox is this guy? Cultivation for so many years, with a group of goblins actually even the monkeys can not beat, so many years down, the monkeys died defending the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, this devil king also robbed a few bowls, furniture and so on, fighting strength is really pediatrics.
Don't look at the level of the Demon King is very poor, but is particularly about the occasion. The magic did not see how superb, but must go out to make the wind and rain, appear to have a special status. And pay attention to appearance, not wear a decent clothes never go out. This side of the Monkey King are playing to the doorstep, this guy is concerned about "what the Monkey King wore". The result can be imagined, was the Monkey King easily empty-handed into the white blade, and then a knife chopped this devil king.
Returning to the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, the Monkey King is considering a problem, no armed forces can not, although the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits of the realm is quite peaceful, it is possible that there are a few ungrateful to trouble how to do? So the Monkey King organized the monkeys, rose up, engaged in a militia team. A long time Sun Wukong think this is not reliable, he has more than 47,000 monkeys under his command. These monkeys drill every day, too much noise. Huaguo Mountain is not without management, the king of beasts is the unicorn, the king of birds is the phoenix. Although this matter is not under their control, it is not guaranteed that they will not come to look for trouble. Even if they didn't care, it wasn't a joke for the Aurai Kingdom Lord to hear about this. Wooden weapons would never do, there had to be real ones.
The most popular weapons in China at the time were wooden or bronze, but the Aorai Kingdom had gold, silver, copper and iron, and many styles of weapons. The Monkey King made a great show of stealing tens of thousands of weapons and arming more than 47,000 monkeys, which made a great deal of noise for a while.
This time the roaming demon kings were stunned, nearly 50,000 armed and well-equipped, too scary. So this vote of demon kings have worshipped under the Sun Wukong, and the Sun Wukong brought together seventy-two holes of demon kings. This situation gives Sun Wukong a reason not to expand first.
When everyone was armed, the Monkey King realized that he still lacked a shiny, divine weapon. Two red-shirted horse monkeys and two through-backed apes suggest going to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea to find a treasure. Then the perverse scene appeared:
However, the Dragon King of the East Sea is also the boss of the lower realm of the Water Element, and no more than that, he would not be afraid of an unknown monkey. Categorically not to still do not know what the other side of the situation, leading the dragon son and grandson shrimp soldiers and crab generals to go out to meet. After the Dragon King let Sun Wukong to the house and offered tea, the old Dragon King opened his mouth and asked, "When did the immortal get the way, and what kind of immortal techniques did he teach? (Original text)" What does this mean? It shows that the old Dragon King has always known the origin of the Monkey King. It's just that he didn't expect the dude to achieve immortality so quickly.
Then Sun Wukong asked for weapons, and the old Dragon King actually didn't dare not to give them. But the old Dragon King now does not know how Sun Wukong magic power, why so afraid of him? It can only mean that the old Dragon King knows that Sun Wukong above must be someone, and this person he must not be able to mess with, so to give weapons on weapons. And just at this time, the old Dragon King's storehouse of the Ding Hai Shen Needle iron flickering light, as if summoning their own masters.
What does the golden rod in the original look like? It is a rod that is thick at both ends and thin in the center. The two ends are gold hoops and the center is black ebony iron. There was also a line written on it: the Ruyi Golden Hoop Cudgel weighed thirteen thousand five hundred pounds. Sun Wukong took this golden rod, and looked for the old Dragon King to ask for a cloak, but the old Dragon King said there was none. According to the old dragon king weapons are given, how would care about a cloak? What's more, the Monkey King was now armed with a weapon and had demonstrated his divine power. How could the old Dragon King, who was so respectful just now, not be able to give him a cloak? It's really not that the old Dragon King is cheap, it's because he really doesn't have one. Do you think that the Monkey King wants an ordinary cloak? Think about it, the Monkey King is less than four feet tall. Who would customize such a cloak? So the old dragon king here really do not have, finally have no choice, and then called the four seas dragon king, put together such a pair of cloak to the Monkey King. The Monkey King didn't even have a word of thanks, and walked away with a big smile on his face.
As soon as the Monkey King left, the Dragon King of the West Sea suggested to go through the legal process to sue the Monkey King. But we find that the Dragon King of the East Sea never put it into action. Until one day, Sun Wukong made a big mess in the hell and caused a big trouble. It was only then that the Dragon King of the East Sea and the Earth Store King went to sue one after the other, showing that the Dragon King of the East Sea had been waiting and watching. Only when he saw that the Earth Store King was furious did he dare to complain. He was not afraid of the Monkey King, he was afraid that there was someone behind the Monkey King.
Later, it was with the skills taught by Grandmaster Bodhi and this golden hoop stick that Wukong accomplished the famous battle of grassroots challenging the heavenly authority - making a fuss in the Heavenly Palace.
