[Journey to the West] Empty Enlightenment Bodhi

When Wukong saw Tang Seng for the first time, Tang Seng was begging the Taibao to send him another ride with his nose and tears.

Taibai tugged at the skirt of his clothes, trying to push this humanoid waste further away.

What kind of vision does the Bodhisattva have, actually found such a pustule to go to the west to learn scriptures, Wukong sneered, but it's okay, Tang Seng has no skills, he can easily gain the right to speak in the team, control the core movements of the team, What teachings to spread at that time, isn't it just a matter of his lip-syncing?

From the east to the west, it spans almost four continents. Even if he cannot publicize his teachings in a big way, it is a good choice to subtly modify the so-called Buddhism.

There is a word for it, Wukong pondered for a while, and remembered this sentence, yes, it is called the localization of Buddhism.

Thanks to Tathagata and Bodhisattva who miss him so much, let him, a monkey under the pressure of Buddha, go to promote Buddhism, otherwise Sun Wukong couldn't find such a good way.Corrupt the enemy from within!

Tang Seng was still arguing with the Taibao, but Wukong stretched out his hand to recruit Tang Seng—after the Bodhisattva came that day, he stopped the punishment of pouring molten iron, so Wukong was able to speak at this time: "Master! Why did you come! Hurry up!" Get me out! I'll send you to heaven!"

Tang Seng: ...

Tang Seng tried to test Wukong for a long time, and finally revealed the talisman and let Wukong come out.

Wukong didn't care about etiquette, and immediately performed the master-apprentice ceremony to Tang Seng.

If Bodhi is conscious at this moment, he is afraid that he will be angry and curse, saying that this little monkey dared to worship his master twice, and it is all because his master no longer exists, right?

It's a pity he's not here.

Ok.

I don't know if Wukong's move was intentional, anyway, Bodhi didn't jump out to stop him.

Tang Seng saw it, alas, since this is the case, I will not be polite, so I want to give Wukong a name, the master-student ceremony-especially the master-student ceremony in Buddhism, the master gives the disciple a name, it is considered complete. Out of etiquette, Tang Seng said: "Since you call me Master, I will give you a Dharma name."

Sun Wukong:  …

You are not very capable, but you are not small.

When Bodhi accepted me as a disciple, he still asked me if I had a name. I got a Dharma name only after knowing that I had no name or surname. Now you are opening your mouth to give me a name.Could it be that you are stronger than that Bodhi Patriarch?

However, Sun Wukong has already left the innocent and naive age. He only salutes, speaks with evidence, and advances and retreats with restraint: "Don't bother Master, I used to have a Dharma name, which is Sun Wukong."

But Tang Seng refused to give up, and insisted on naming this apprentice, as if he had the right to name the name, he had the ownership: "Then I will give you another mixed name, Xingzhe, okay?"

not good.Is the legal name not enough for you?What's wrong, give me a mixed name.Mixing names and names, you are a Buddhist family, and you still have mixed names.You don't want to practice Buddhism, but you want to get a nickname. You are thinking about returning to the vulgar.

Monkey King nodded and said: "Okay."

Tang Seng was overjoyed. In terms of seniority, he was not qualified to accept disciples in the Tang Dynasty, but he never expected that on the border of the Tang Dynasty, he would accept the first disciple in his life.Naturally, I want to treat this stubborn monkey well.

Monkey King was naked and had no clothes on, so he quit immediately.He killed a fierce tiger with eye-catching eyes, and made clothes from the tiger's skin. If Bodhi was here, he would definitely laugh at Wukong's strange aesthetics of "only yellow and red in his eyes".

But Tang Seng didn't think there was anything wrong with it, he only praised Wukong for his beautiful and agile skills, which was many times better than Taibao's.

Wukong laughed, thinking that your Buddhist practice is too fake. Didn't anyone in the Buddhist school teach you not to kill?

Wukong didn't point it out, but he and Tang Seng were boasting and flattering each other.He has been suppressed at the bottom of the mountain for 500 years, and his mentality has long been different from before. It is extremely difficult to get out of the mountain without killing people. Do you still expect him to teach Buddhist scriptures to this fake monk?Don't be ridiculous, his only task is to escort this person to the Western Paradise, as for the rest, that is the business of the Bodhisattva and has nothing to do with him.

At this moment, Wukong was happy that no one was restraining him, and he didn't pay attention to the many loopholes in Tang Monk's words, just thinking that he was a "person with profound Buddhism" as the Bodhisattva said.

Traveling westward, Wukong took Tang Seng to a family.Tang Seng made an introduction to that person, and on the way he also introduced his newly accepted apprentice Sun Wukong.

The man was a little shocked when he saw Wukong, his expression was puzzled, and he was faintly frightened.

Wukong frowned, and then he was relieved, he had just killed a tiger, and his body was still stained with blood, it was no wonder that the world was afraid of him: "Don't worry, someone here should recognize me, I have seen you before. "

The man was even more frightened: "Where have you seen me?"

Wukong just smiled and said: "You cried in front of me when you were young, with snot and tears, and you shouted to go home."

"Impossible, I haven't cried since I was five years old." The old man and Wukong argued.

Wukong poured himself a cup of tea and sat down, not caring what Tang Seng was doing. Looking at the wooden tables and chairs, he only smiled and said, "Have you ever been to Jieshan?"

Boundary Mountain is the Wuzhi Mountain that suppresses Wukong. It is called this because it happens to be the dividing line between Datang and other countries.

"I've been there," the old man showed nostalgia, "My father said that when I was young, I especially liked to go to Jieshan with my grandfather, and every time I came back dirty." The old man suddenly thought of something, "Hey, you—— Who are you--"

Wukong took a sip of his tea: "It's me," Wukong said after a long while, "I didn't expect you to stop living in Datang after only a hundred years."

"Hey," the old man sighed, "Grandfather said that he was born a man of the Sui Dynasty and died a ghost of the Sui Dynasty. He absolutely refuses to surrender to the Tang Dynasty."

Wukong sighed, and wanted to ask them how they were doing, his eyes glanced at the dilapidated wooden house, and he suddenly felt that it was unnecessary to ask.The words came to his lips, and finally turned into a greeting: "How old are you?"

The old man patted his thigh: "It's 130, Great Sage, are you old?" The old man looked at Wukong's face carefully, "It's been so many years, Great Sage, you still don't look old."

Wukong said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's thousands of years old. Those who have memory alone are 800 years old."

After another exchange of pleasantries, Wukong and Tang Seng had a fast meal and stayed overnight. Wukong only said that he got up early the next day and asked Tang Seng to go to bed first.Tang Seng didn't care about these things, he didn't say much as Wukong still had to feed the horses.

Wukong stood in the stable for a while, then turned back to the room to mend his red and yellow tiger leather underpants. Are you there? A few years ago, you moved him to the ancestral grave, and I have never been free."

"Yes, yes," the old man responded with a "hey", and led Wukong to the ancestral hall, "If grandpa knows that you are coming out, the great sage, he will be happy! The method you gave us to strengthen our body, we They are all in use, my grandpa lived to be one hundred and four years old, and we live even longer now."

Wukong forced a smile, pursed his lips, he didn't know what he was thinking, the old man also stopped talking, for a while, Wukong only looked at the wooden tablet, and sighed deeply.

On the second day, Wukong followed Tang Seng on the road of learning Buddhist scriptures in the West.

There are also some thieves who don't have long eyes, and they insist on making life difficult for Monkey King.Sun Wukong was already in a bad mood, so he didn't show any courtesy to the thief, he just beat him out of his red and white brains, which scared Tang Seng to keep saying "The monks are merciful".

Now you know that the monks are merciful.

Although Wukong didn't like to hear it, he didn't intend to refute it. After all, in the classics of Taoism and Buddhism, there was never such a thing as chivalry.He was too lazy to waste his tongue.

However, Tang Seng spoke more and more vigorously: "This is in the barren mountains today. If there is trouble in the future, you kill people and the government sends people to take you. I am a person who has no strength to restrain a chicken. How can I do it?" Can you run away?"

Sun Wukong: ...? ? ?

What did you say?Can you say that again?

The more Tang Seng thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and he had already started to imagine the scene of the government: "I am a monk, and I would rather die than kill people. Besides, even if I pay them with my life, I only have one life, but you killed six people. Personally, there is absolutely no such reason. If you go to the government, even if your father is an official, you can't justify this reason!"

Sun Wukong: ...? ? ?

No, what do you mean, if I kill fewer people and my father is an official, then I won't have to be responsible?

Isn't the point these people trying to kill us?

Will anyone be held accountable for killing a few thieves these days?

Is it me who is sick, or is the bodhisattva sick?

What is this thing? !

"Old Sun is unreasonable all his life." Not to mention Tang Seng's messy logic, Sun Wukong is annoyed when he hears the word "reasonable", Tang Seng is still rambling, probably because he gave him a name, he thinks that Wukong has really become him His apprentice is his private property, and there are a lot of discipline and reprimands in his words. Sun Wukong was upset when he heard it, and when he saw the son of the old man earlier, he couldn't help but think of his monkey grandson on the top of the mountain. So he put down the burden simply: "Since you said that about me, you decided that I can't be a monk, and I can't go to the west, so don't be so sick of me, I'll just go back."

Wukong turned over and pulled somersault cloud, and returned to Huaguo Mountain.

Wukong also had selfish intentions when he returned to Huaguo Mountain. He always felt that Bodhi might be in Huaguo Mountain. Even if Bodhi was not there, maybe Bodhi would ask Shi Zhi to send him a message or something.It is possible to put it in Huaguo Mountain.

Wukong turned his head back to Huaguo Mountain, but he didn't see anything. The monkeys and grandchildren were still so lively and cute, and they didn't look old for many years.Sun Yi even came closer and hurriedly greeted Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong didn't bother to talk to him, and asked Bodhi, Shi Zhi, and even the Seven Great Demon Kings one by one, but Sun Yi said that there was no news about them all. The Water Curtain Cave was thanks to the care of the Dragon King of the East China Sea all these years.Sun Wukong shook his head, turned around and went to the East China Sea Dragon Palace.

It's not that he has a deep friendship with the Dragon King of the East China Sea, it's just that he couldn't find a suitable person to chat with for a while.

Those in the heavenly court are all fallen trees and scattered monkeys. Thinking of this, Wukong shook his head and laughed. He once said to Bodhi that "most people in the heavenly court will find a backer for themselves. The gods in the heavenly court are the real fallen trees." The monkeys are scattered", I didn't expect that these words should be applied to me now.

The Dragon King of the East China Sea was polite to Monkey King, poured tea for Monkey King, and asked what the Great Sage was up to recently.

Monkey King returned one by one, but the Dragon King of the East China Sea did not dare to neglect him, and immediately led Monkey King to see his portraits of Zhang Liang and Huang Shigong, and persuaded Monkey King to go back: "Great Sage, if you don't protect Tang Monk, you will be a monk after all." Fairy, if there is no one at ease in this heavenly court, how can you get any positive results?"

Sun Wukong looked at the inscription "Emperor Donghua" under the portrait, pondered for a while, and then felt that what the Dragon King of the East China Sea said made some sense, so he immediately patted the table and planned to go back.

Although Tang Seng is quite annoying, he is always a person with no power to restrain the chicken, and his mind is not right, but it is not bad in the end, it is better than being disgusted by the Jade Emperor in the heaven.

The author has something to say:

I'm thinking about how the next plot will go. It probably won't be in the order of the original book. Today's second watch may be late, or it may not be.

Bodhi is coming soon!
