The next morning, and all the brothers to learn speech and manners, the scriptures and Taoism, learning words and burning incense, so every day. All the things used, all ready. In the cave do not realize swiftly six or seven years.
One day, the ancestor of the altar to sit high, call the set of all the immortals, the opening of the Great Tao.
This is really--
The sky is falling, and the earth is pouring with golden lotus. The first is a new and exciting story of the world's most famous man, the man who was born in the middle of the 20th century. The world's most important thing is that the world's most important thing is that the world's most important thing is the world's most important thing. The three schools of thought are in harmony with each other, and the three schools of thought are in harmony with each other. He is a man who has been enlightened by one word, and guided to the mystery of the nature of birthlessness.
The Sun Wukong heard the speech, happy he scratched his ears and cheeks, and smiled, and could not help but dance with his hands and feet. Suddenly was the ancestor saw, called Sun Wukong said: "you in the class, how crazy dance, do not listen to my speech?" Wukong said: "I sincerely listen to the lecture, heard the old master wonderful sound, overjoyed, so I do not realize that this enthusiastic appearance. I hope the master forgive me!"
The ancestor said: "You know the wonderful sound, I ask you, how many hours you to the cave?" Wukong said: "I was ignorant, I do not know how many hours, I only remember that there is no fire under the stove, often go to the back of the mountain to get firewood, see a mountain of good peach trees, where I ate seven times full of peaches carry on."
The ancestor said: "That mountain is called Rotten Peach Mountain. You have eaten seven times, I think it is seven years. What do you want to learn from me today?" Wukong said, "But by the teachings of the honored master, just some of the Dao Qi'er, the disciple will learn."
The ancestor said: "'Tao' in the door there are 360 side door, side door all have the right fruit. I don't know which one you learn?" Wukong said: "By the meaning of the master, I listen with all my heart." The Grandmaster said, "How about I teach you the way of the 'art' door?" Wukong said, "How do you say the Way of the Art Sect?"
The ancestor said: "The art of the word door, is some of the immortal Fu Luan, divining and sorting yarrow, can know the reason for good luck and avoiding bad luck." Wukong said: "like this can get long life?" Master said: "can not, can not!" Wukong said: "Do not learn, do not learn!"
The Grandmaster said, "How about teaching you the way of the 'flow' gate?" Wukong asked again, "What is the righteousness in the door of the word 'flow'?" Ancestor said, "The flow of the word door, is Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Yin-Yang, Mohism, medicine, or read the scriptures, or chanting Buddha, and Chaozheng descending to the Holy and so on." Wukong said, "like this can get long life?"
The ancestor said: "If you want to live forever, it is like a pillar in the wall." Wukong said: "Master, I am an honest man, do not know to play the market language. How is it called 'a pillar in the wall'?" Grandmaster said: "People want to build a strong house, will be between the walls to set up a top pillar, one day the building will fall, he will be rotten." Wukong said, "According to this, it will not last long. Do not learn, do not learn!"
The Grandmaster said, "Teach you how to teach you the way in the door of the word 'quiet'?" Wukong said, "What is the right fruit in the door of the word 'Jing'?" Ancestor said: "This is the rest of the grain to guard the valley, quiet and do nothing, meditation, precepts and fasting, or sleep, or standing, and into the fixed sitting off and so on." Wukong said: "This can also be long life?" Ancestor said, "It is also like kiln-head adobe."
Wukong laughed: "Master fruit some drops? A line that I can not play the city language. How is it called 'kiln-head adobe'?" Grandmaster said: "as that kiln head, caused by brick and tile billet, although it has been formed, has not yet been through the fire and water exercise, once the rain poured down, he will be abused." Wukong said: "nor long term. Do not learn, do not learn!"
The ancestor said: "Teach you how to 'move' the word door in the way?" Wukong said, "The way of the moving gate but how?" Grandmaster said: "This is a work for a work, picking the yin and replenish the yang, climbing the bow and crossbow, Mo Navel over the gas, with the square shelling, burning thatched pot, into the red lead, refining the autumn stone, and serving women's milk and so on." Wukong said: "like this also get long life?"
The ancestor said: "This want to live forever, but also like the moon in the water." Wukong said: "Master again. How is it called 'fishing for the moon in the water'?" Master said, "The moon is in the sky, there is a shadow in the water, although I see it, but there is no place to fish for it, in the end, it only becomes empty." Wukong said: "also do not learn, do not learn!"
The ancestor heard, duh, jumped off the platform, holding the ruler, designated Wukong said: "you this monkey, this does not learn, that does not learn, but to be how?" Walked forward, the Wukong head hit three times, backward hand, walked into the inside, will be the door closed, leaving the masses and go.
The class listening to the lecture, everyone is afraid, all blame Wukong said: "You this monkey, very unruly! The master passed on your teachings, how not to learn, but talk back to the master! I don't know how long it will take for him to come out!" At this time, they are very blame him, and despise and dislike him. Wukong some children are not annoyed, just full of smile.
Originally, the monkey king has broken the mystery of the disk, secretly in the heart. So do not compete with the crowd, just patience and speechless. Grandmaster hit him three times, teach him to save heart at three o'clock; upside down with his hands inside, will be the middle door closed, teach him to progress from the back door, the secret place to pass on his way also.
That day, Wukong and the crowd, like happy, in the three stars before the immortal cave, looking forward to the sky, anxious not to the evening. And dusk, but with the crowd in bed, false eyes, fixed interest in the God.
Mountains and no night watchman to pass the arrow, I do not know the time, only their own nostrils in and out of the gas adjustment. About the time around, gently get up, put on the clothes, stealing open the front door, hiding from the public, out of the outside, look up and watch, it is that --
Moon bright dew cold, the eight poles are very no dust. The first thing you need to do is to get a good look at the color of the water, and you will be able to see the color of the water in your eyes.
Flying fireflies scattered shadows, over the geese character row clouds. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get to the top of the list," he said.
You see him from the old path to the back door, only to see that the door is half-open and half-covered, Wukong said with joy: "The old master really pay attention to me to preach the way, so open the door also." That is, trailing steps close to the front, sideways into the door, only to walk to the ancestor under the couch. Seeing the ancestor curled up the body, fell asleep inward. Wukong did not dare to startle, that is, kneeling in front of the couch. The master did not take long to realize, open two feet, mouth chanting:
Difficult, difficult, difficult! The road is the most mysterious, do not take the golden elixir as idle. If you don't meet the best person to pass on the secret, you will be stuck with empty words and a dry tongue!
Wukong called out in response, "Master, I have been kneeling here for a long time." Ancestor heard the voice is Wukong, that is, get up to wear clothes and sit down, drinking: "This monkey! You do not go to sleep in the front, but come to my back here for what?" Wukong said: "Master yesterday before the altar to the crowd promised, teach disciples three o'clock, from the back door to pass my reasoning, so bold to worship the master under the couch."
The ancestor heard, very happy, secretly thinking: "This guy really is a heaven and earth generated, otherwise, why break my disk in the dark mystery also?" Wukong said: "There is no six ears, only one disciple, hope that the master of the great mercy, pass with me the way of life, never forget the grace!"
The Master said, "You have a destiny, I also like to say. Since I know the secret riddle in the disk, you come close, listen carefully, when passed on to you the wonderful way of longevity also." Wukong kowtowed and thanked, washed his ears and heart, kneeling under the couch. Grandmaster Yun:
The secret of the real secret, cherish to repair the life of no other say. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.
Shut leakage, the body in the hidden, you receive my preaching since the road to prosperity. I'm sure you'll find it very useful to memorize the recipe, so that you can get rid of your evil desires and get a cooler head.
Get cool, bright light, good to the Dantai enjoy the bright moon. The moon hides the rabbits and the sun hides the crows, and the tortoises and the snakes are all intertwined.
They are the ones who have a strong life, but they can plant the golden lotus in the fire. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get to the top of the list, but I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get to the top of the list.
At this point, the root of the problem is broken, and Wukong's mind is blessed. I remembered the recipe, and I thanked the master for his kindness, and I went out the back door to watch. But see the east of the sky slightly Shu white, West Road, the golden light is very clear. Still road to the front door, gently pushed open into, sitting in the original bed, so the bed shaking sound: "the sky light, the sky light! The first thing I want to do is to get up!"
The public is still sleeping, I do not know that Wukong has got a good thing. On that day up to mix, secretly maintain, before and after the afternoon, their own tempering.
But three years earlier, the Master resumed the throne, and the crowd said. Talking about the public case than the language, on the outside like foreskin. Suddenly asked: "Wukong where?" Wukong near the front kneeling down: "I have." The ancestor said: "You have always practiced what road to?" Wukong said, "Recently, I have been able to understand the Dharma, and my roots are getting stronger."
The master said: "You both through the nature of the law, will get the root, has been injected into the body of God, but only to guard against the three disasters." Wukong heard, pondered for a long time and said, "Master's words are fallacious. I've heard that the Taoist high virtue, and the same life with the sky, water and fire, not born, but how there is a 'three plagues and harm'?"
The ancestor said: "This is the very way, the creation of heaven and earth, invasion of the mystery of the sun and moon. After the completion of the Dan, the ghosts and gods can hardly tolerate. Although the face and life, but to five hundred years later, the sky drop thunderstorms to hit you, must see the nature of the heart, in advance to avoid. If you can avoid it, you can't avoid it, but you can't avoid it, you can't avoid it.
After another 500 years, a fire will come from heaven to burn you.
After 500 years, there will be a fire from heaven that will burn you. From their own chongquan point under the burning, straight through the mud wall palace, five organs into ash, limbs are rotten, the thousand years of hard work, all for nothing. Another five hundred years, and then descend wind disaster blowing you. This wind is not the north-south-west wind, not and smoky Jinshuo wind, not flowers, willow, pine and bamboo wind, called a crow wind.
Blowing from the fontanel into the six bowels, over the dantian, through nine orifices, flesh and bones, its body since the solution. So all have to avoid." Wukong heard, creepy, kowtow and worship: "I hope that the master of mercy, pass and avoid the three plagues of the law, in the end do not dare to forget." The ancestor said, "This is not difficult, but you are different than others, so you can not pass."
Wukong said: "I also head round top heaven, foot square crawling ground, generally have nine orifices and limbs, five viscera and six bowels, why is different than others?" Grandmaster said: "Although you are like people, but less gills than people." It turned out that the monkey lone abduction face, concave face pointed mouth. Wukong reached out and touched it, and laughed, "Master didn't count. Although I have fewer gills, but more than a person this vegetarian bag, can also be quasi-folded over also."
The master said: "Well, you want to learn that general? There is a general number of the Big Dipper, the thirty-six changes; there is a general number of the Earth's Fury, the seventy-two changes." Wukong said: "I would like to learn a lot of fishing, learn an Earthly Fury changes." The ancestor said: "In that case, come forward, pass with you the recipe."
So he attached his ear and whispered, I don't know what to say what wonderful method. This monkey king is also his one know-how when a hundred know-how, at that time learned the recipe, self-cultivation, will be seventy-two kinds of changes are learned.
Suddenly one day, the ancestor and all the disciples in front of the three-star cave play evening. The ancestor said: "Wukong, things have been accomplished yet?" Wukong said: "Thanks to the master of the sea grace, the disciple's work is complete, has been able to xiaju ascension also."
The ancestor said: "You try to fly lift me to see." Wukong get skills, will be a tower, played a even pull heel, jumping from the ground with five or six feet, step cloud Xia go hook has a meal time, return not on three miles away, landed in front of the hand, with hand: "Master, this is the fly lifting TengYun."
The ancestor laughed: "This is not to be counted Teng Yun, only counted to climb the clouds only. Since ancient times: the immortal toward the North Sea and twilight Cangwu. Like you this half a day, go not on three miles, that is, climb the cloud is not counted miles." Wukong said: "how for 'towards the North Sea and twilight Cangwu'?"
The master said: "Where the generation of clouds, the early hours from the North Sea, swim through the East China Sea, the West China Sea, the South China Sea, and then Cangwu. Cangwu, but the North Sea Ziling words. Outside the four seas, a day are traveling all over, counted Teng Yun." Wukong said: "This is difficult, but difficult!" Ancestor said, "There is nothing difficult in the world, only fear of those who have the heart."
Wukong heard this, kowtow and worship, Kai said: "Master, for people must be thorough, so sex sheds a great mercy, will be this Teng Yun's law, a hair pass with me, will not dare to forget the grace." Ancestor said: "Where all the immortals to take off the clouds, all fall feet and rise, but you are not like this. I just saw you go, even pulling before jumping on. I'm just going to pass you a somersault cloud."
Wukong and worship pleaded, but the master passed a recipe: "This cloud, twisting the recipe, reciting the true words, save the tight fist, will be shaking, will jump up, a somersault will have 108,000 miles!" The public heard, each laughing: "Wukong creation! If you know this method, and others as a store soldier, send paperwork, delivering the report, no matter where they are looking for a meal."
The master and disciples returned to their cave at dusk. This night, the Wukong that transport God refining method, will be the somersault cloud. The day by day home without restraint, free and easy, this is also the beauty of longevity.
One day, spring returns to the summer solstice, the masses are under the pine tree will speak for a long time. The public said: "Wukong, you are the fate of the world to repair? The day before yesterday, the old master attached his ear and whispered, and passed on to you the method of avoiding the three calamities and changes, can you know all of them?" Wukong laughed and said, "I am not hiding from you, brothers and sisters, firstly, it is the master who taught me, and secondly, it is also because of my day and night attentiveness that I know all those things."
The public said, "Take advantage of this good time, you try to perform, let us see." Wukong heard, shaking spirit, show off means, said: "the brothers please come up with a topic, what do you want me to change?" The public said, "Just change into a pine tree." Wukong twisted the trick, recited the incantation, shook himself, and changed into a pine tree.
The pine tree is a tree that is full of smoke, and it shows its chastity in the clouds. There is no monkey in the tree, it is a snow-resistant branch.
The public saw, applauded and laughed, all said: "Good monkey, good monkey!" Unconsciously clamor, alarmed the master, the master anxious to drag the staff out the door to ask: "Who is here to clamor?" The public heard the call, panicked to check the bundle, straighten the clothes forward. Wukong also appeared in his true form, mixed in the bushes, said: "Kai Shang honored master, we are here to speak, more no foreign noise."
The ancestor angrily bellowed, "You and other shouting, all unlike a cultivation of the body section. Practicing people, the mouth is open God gas dispersal, tongue movement is right and wrong, how to yell and laugh here?" The public said: "I dare not hide from the master, just now Sun Wukong play change play. Teach him to change a pine tree, really is a pine tree, the disciples are praised and applauded, so the high voice shocked the honored teacher, hope to beg forgiveness."
The ancestor said: "You and so on up to go." Called: "Wukong over! I ask you to get what spirit, change what pine tree? This work, good to show off in front of people? If you see others have, do not ask them? If others see that you have it, they will certainly ask you for it. If you are afraid of trouble, you must pass it on to him; if you do not pass it on to him, you will surely be harmed, and your life will not be saved." Wukong kowtowed, "I only hope that the Master will forgive me!"
The Grandmaster said, "I also do not sin you, but just you go." When Wukong heard this, his eyes filled with tears and he said, "Master, teach me where to go?" The Grandmaster said, "Wherever you come from, go there." Wukong suddenly came to his senses and said, "I came from the Water Curtain Cave in the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits in the Aorai Kingdom of the Eastern Victory Divine Continent."
The Ancestor said, "You quickly go back, all your life; if in this place certainly not!" Wukong led the charge, "on the venerable master I also left home for twenty years, although it is recalling the old days of children and grandchildren, but the idea of the master's generous kindness has not yet been repaid, do not dare to go." Grandmaster said: "where what kindness? You just don't cause trouble and don't involve me on it!" Wukong saw nothing to do, only to bow and say goodbye to the crowd.
The ancestor said: "You go, will be bad. By how you cause trouble and murder, but do not say is my disciple, you say half a word, I will know, you this monkey skinned and filed bones, will be relegated to the soul in the Nine Hells, teach you not to turn around for ten thousand robberies!" Wukong said, "I will never dare to mention a word about my master, just say that I know it myself."
Wukong thanked, that is to draw back, twisting the trick, throw a even pull, vertical tendon bucket cloud, back to Dongsheng. There to consume an hour, early to see the Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave, the Monkey King knows himself happy, secretly claimed:
Going to the time of the mortal bones of the mortal fetus heavy, get the road to the body of light body is also light. No one in the world is willing to make a will, make a will to cultivate Xuan Xuan since the Ming.
It was difficult to enter the sea at that time, but today it is very easy to come back. The words of farewell are still ringing in my ears, but I don't expect to see the east sea in a moment.
Wukong pressed the cloud, until the mountain of flowers and fruits, looking for a way to go, suddenly heard the crane and ape cries, crane cries outside the sky, the ape cries sad very sad. That open mouth called: "children, I'm coming also!" That under the cliff by the side of the rock can, flowers and grass, trees, if large or small monkeys, jumped out of the thousands of thousands, the Monkey King surrounded in the middle, kowtowed and called:
"King, you are good to be generous! We are all here, looking at you as if you are hungry and thirsty! Recently by a demon in this bullying, forced to occupy our water curtain cave, is we give up our lives to fight with him. These times, by that guy robbed our home fire, captured many sons and nephews, teach us day and night sleepless, guarding the family business. Fortunately, the Great King has come. If you do not come for another year, the cave will belong to others."
Wukong heard, the heart of the great anger: "What is the demon, always dare to behave! You and tell me in detail, to wait for me to seek his revenge." The monkeys kowtowed: "I tell the king, that guy called himself the king of demons, living in the straight north down."
Wukong said, "How many kilometers is it from here to him?" The monkeys said, "When he comes in clouds, when he goes in fog, or wind or rain, or electricity or thunder, we do not know how many roads." The Monkey King said, "In that case, don't be afraid, and play with yourselves, and wait for me to find him."
Good Monkey King, will be a long body, jump up to go, all the way somersaults, until the north down to watch, see a high mountain, really very dangerous. The peak of the pen stands up and penetrates the sky, and the curved stream is deep and leads to the ground. The two cliffs of flowers and trees, a few pine trees fight Jade. The left side of the dragon, ripe and tame; the right side of the tiger, flat ambush. Every time I see the iron ox plow, often money seed.
Shuo sound, phoenix sunrise. There are countless famous mountains in the world, and many of them have blossomed and blossomed. I strive for this scenery to last forever, and the eight sections and four seasons remain unchanged. The mountain is the source of the three worlds, and nourishes the five elements of the water and dirty holes!
The Monkey King was silently watching the scenery, only to hear someone's words, and went down the mountain to look for them. It turns out that before that steep cliff, is that water dirty cave. Outside the door of the cave there are a few small demons dancing, see the Monkey King to go, Monkey King said: "Do not go! Let me borrow your words and tell you what is in my heart. I am the master of Water Curtain Cave in the south of Mount Huaguo. Your family, what kind of bird devil, repeatedly bully my children and grandchildren, I specially find, to meet with him up and down!"
The little demon heard, rushed into the cave to report: "King, trouble!" The devil king said: "What trouble?" The little demon said: "outside the hole, there is a monkey called Huaguo Mountain Waterfall Cave cave master, he said you repeatedly bully his children and grandchildren, specially come to find you, to see an up and down miles!" The devil king laughed: "I often heard those monkey spirits said he has a great king, went out to practice, I think it is this time to come. You see how he dresses, what instruments?"
The little demon said: "He did not have any equipment, bare head, wearing a collar red clothes, le a yellow silk tapestry, feet on a pair of boots, not monks and not vulgar, and not like the Taoist priests and immortals, bare hands and empty fists, in the door called miles."
The devil king heard: "Take my cloak weapon to!" That little demon instantly take out. The demon king wore armor, nicked the knife in hand, and the demons out of the door, that is, shouted: "That is the Waterfall Cave Lord?" Wukong rush to open his eyes to see, only to see that the devil king --
head wearing a gold helmet, reflecting the sun bright; body hanging soap Luo robe, the wind fluttering. Under wearing black iron armor, tightly strung leather strips; feet stepped on the flower pleated boots, male as a general. His waist was ten inches wide and his height was three feet. He carries a knife in his hand, with a bright blade. He is called the devil of the mixed world, and he is a ferocious model of lei.
The Monkey King drank: "This shrewd devil this eye big, can not see the old Sun!" The devil king saw, laughed: "Your body is less than four feet, the year is only thirty years old, and no weapons in the hand, how bold and rampant, to find me to see what up and down?"
Wukong scolded: "You this shrewd devil, the original no eyes! You measure me small, to big but not difficult. You measure me without weapons, I have two hands enough to the sky moon miles! Don't be afraid, just eat old Sun a punch!" I'm not afraid, just eat old Sun's fist!" He jumped up and hit him in the face.
The devil king reached out to hold: "you like this short, I like this high long, you want to make fist, I want to make the knife, make the knife to kill you, but also eat people laugh, to wait for me to put down the knife, and you make the road to boxing look." Wukong said: "That's right. Good man, come!" The devil king threw open the frame to fight, this Wukong drilled into the collision to meet.
The two of them punched and kicked, a punch and a collision. The original long fist empty big, short tuft firm, that devil king by the Wukong pull out short coercion, hit the crotch, a few tendons, put him to hit the heavy. He flashed through, picked up the board big steel knife, looking at the Wukong chopping head on the chopping.
Wukong withdrew in a hurry, he cut an empty. Wukong see him fierce, even if the body outside the body method, pull a handful of hairs, threw in the mouth and chewed, looking at the air sprayed, called out: "change!" That is to change into three or two hundred small monkeys, around the cluster.
Originally, people get the immortal body, out of the God changes in no way. I don't know this monkey king since the road, there are 84,000 hair feathers on the body, the root can change, should things with the heart. Those little monkeys, eyes good will jump, knife to cut not, gun to go can not hurt.
You see his front and back, drilling up to the devil around the king, holding the hold, pulling the pull, drilling the crotch of the crotch, wrenching the feet of the feet, kicking and punching the plucked hair, gouge the eyes, twisting the nose, lifting the drums to make a straight fight to do a save the plate. This Wukong went to seize his knife to separate the little monkey, according to the top door, cut into two, leading the crowd to kill into the cave, the size of the demon, all eliminated.
But the hairs of a shake, collected on the body, and see that collected not on the body, but the demon king in the Waterfall Cave captured the little monkey, Wukong said: "Why are you here?" There are about thirty to fifty, all with tears, said: "we because the king of the cultivation of immortality to go, these two years by his quarrel, we are ingested in the future, that is not our hole in the house fire? Stone pots and bowls were all brought by this guy also."
Wukong said, "Since it is our home fire, you all move out." Then the cave set fire to the water dirty cave burned dry, all to one. He said to the crowd, "You and others go back with me." The monkeys said: "King, when we came here, we only heard the wind in our ears, and drifted here in vain, and we don't know the path, so how can we go back to our hometown today?"
Wukong said: "This is a magic spell he made, how difficult it is! I am now a know-how, a hundred know-how, I can also get. You all close your eyes, don't be afraid!"
The Monkey King recited an incantation, drove a gust of wind, and landed on a cloud, calling, "Children, open your eyes." The monkeys painted the ground, recognize is home, all happy, all run to the cave door old road. The monkeys in the hole, all flocked together with the same. The monkeys were divided into classes and worshiped the Monkey King. The monkeys were all in a hurry to get to their home town.
Keeping inquiring about the matter of subduing the devil to save his son, Wukong prepared to speak in detail once again, the monkeys praised endlessly, said: "The king went to that place, unexpectedly learned this kind of means." Wukong also said: "I don't you, etc., with the waves, drifting across the East Ocean and the sea, and then to the South Alimony, learning to become a human figure. With this coat, wearing this track, swinging, cloud tour for more than eight or nine years, more never have the road.
And cross the Western Ocean sea, to the West Niuga continent boundaries, visit for many hours, fortunately met an old ancestor, passed on to me and the sky with the life of the true fruit, immortal longevity of the great law." The monkeys congratulated, all said, "Ten thousand robberies are hard to come by!" Wukong laughed again and said, "My little ones, again, I am glad that I have a family name for this sect." The monkeys said, "What is the last name of the king?"
Wukong said, "My surname is Sun, and my legal name is Wukong." The monkeys heard, applauded Xin Ran said: "The king is the old Sun, we are two Sun three Sun fine Sun small Sun, a Sun, a Sun, a Sun, a nest of Sun carry on!" All to flatter the old grandson, big pots and small bowls of coconut wine, wine, immortal flowers and fruits, really is a family happy!
Eek! I'm not sure how I'm going to make it, but I'm going to be able to make it. After all, I don't know how it will turn out, and how it will end up in this world, so let's listen to the next chapter for an explanation.
