Yang Jian and Sun Wukong

Shitou continued to search for immortals and visit Taoism, crossing wild forests, visiting the outskirts of cities, crossing states and government offices, trekking mountains and rivers, and four or five years passed without realizing it.On this day, I came to Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai, Hezhou, Xiniu.I met a woodcutter in the mountains. The woodcutter said that there lived an immortal in the mountain, named Patriarch Subhuti, who was a disciple of the Tathagata. Because he could not understand the true meaning of the Buddhist scriptures of the Tathagata, and admired the nature of Taoism, he devoted himself to practicing in the mountain. Gather disciples.

Stone was overjoyed when he heard this, and went to the place the woodcutter said.Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai has beautiful scenery and deep forests, reminding Shitou of Huaguo Mountain, so he took off his shoes, pulled off his jacket, and ran wildly.The soft grass gently kisses the soles of the stone's feet. There is still dew on the grass blades. The stone runs and screams, as if returning to the carefree days of Huaguo Mountain.I didn't pay attention to my feet and kicked something over.The thing rolled all the way down, and the stone wanted to pick it up and put it back to its original place, so it chased it all the way.

After catching up, I saw clearly that it was a urinal.

Shi Shi picked up the urinal and said to himself: "Oops, I forgot where it was." Looking around, the woodcutter said that the oblique moon and three-star cave where Master Subhuti lived was here, but he didn't did not see.Presumably, all gods pay attention to the method of fate, and they can't just let people find their residences casually.Shi Shi wanted to urinate, and there was no one around. He unbuttoned his pants and was about to urinate into the urinal when the urinal jumped away and shouted, "What are you doing!"

Shitou was startled: "Even a urinal can become a fairy?" He fastened his pants, "It really is the place where the gods live."

"Everything in the world has spiritual energy." The urinal was not happy to hear Shitou say that, "Why do you look down on our urinal?" Looking up and down Shishi carefully, "humph", "I see your understanding Not as good as me."

"Let me ask you." The urinal put out two hands and said with akimbo, "What are you doing here?"

"Ask to see Patriarch Subhuti."

"What? Subhuti?"

"you know?"

"Is that a kind of fruit?" The urinal stretched out its hand and scratched the mouth of the pot, "Is it a little sour, it seems that there is a kind of wild fruit called grapes, or something..."

Stone ignored him and walked forward.

The urinal jumped over with a "swish", blocking the way: "There is no Subhuti, but there is a urinal, you are not allowed to go, stay here and play with me!"

"You teach me spells, and I will play with you."

The urinal freezes and becomes a normal urinal again.

Stone knelt down straight with a "plop", and knocked his head three times in a row.

"Patriarch Subhuti, my disciple greets you! I beseech Patriarch Subhuti to accept me as a disciple!"

The urinal didn't move.

Shitou frowned, and kowtowed again.The urinal remained unresponsive.

Stone exhausted his patience, stood up, pulled off his belt, and unbuttoned his pants.The urinal was furious: "What are you doing! How dare you come here!"

"You're not pretending to be dumb anymore? If you were an ordinary urinal, I would pee in it!"

"You you you..." The urinal became angry, "You are so sure that I am Subhuti?"

"If you weren't for Subhuti, why would you be playing here? If you weren't for Subhuti, why would you just be kicked by me? I've never heard that a urinal can become a fairy. If you want to change, you can become a flawless one, okay? "Shitou pointed at the urinal and shouted, "If you weren't for Subhuti, I would cut off your head and use it as a urinal for you!"

"You, you, you, you are too barbaric. The world is declining. For thousands of years, no one has dared to talk to me like that. I want to know your last name!"

"I'm asexual. If someone scolds me, I won't be annoyed. If someone beats me, I won't be offended. It's just an apology. I'll be asexual for the rest of my life." ① "It's not this sexuality. What were your parents' surnames?" Urinal Heart said You are still called asexual, you have such a violent temper, you are not easy to mess with at first sight.

"I have no parents either."

The urinal sneered: "You are lying to a ghost, could it be that you were born on a tree?"

"It was born of a stone. My companions in Huaguo Mountain call me Stone."

"The stone is so ugly, what aesthetics do you have? This name is not the name of the protagonist at first glance! The names of the protagonists in the stories and legends are all louder than each other. I will pick one for you." The urinal became interested. , "Look at you, you look like a hozen. If you read Hu next to the word "Hu", then your surname is Hu. Hu, Gu Yue, Gu means old, and moon means Yin. Lao Yin cannot be fertilized, so it is better not to be named Hu. Now, lest you rely on me when your own abilities are not good enough to cut off your children and grandchildren. The surname is still Sun..."

Shi Shi clenched his fists: "Choose a good name! Stop playing!"

"Hey, hey, what are you punching at me for?" The urinal turned into two legs, jumped up and shouted, "You're threatening me? Then you'll be called Wukong! Wulaiwu seeks the way, and the mirror flower and the water moon finally come true." Empty! In the end, you will get nothing, and everything will be empty! Do you dare to call Monkey King?"

"Why don't you dare! You must know that form is not different from emptiness, and emptiness is not different from form. Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form. People in the world seek the Tao, but they don't understand that Taoism only exists in our hearts. Why bother to seek it? When the heart is happy, everything is happy, and the heart is the world. , There are thousands of Taoisms and laws in the world, but they are ever-changing and inseparable from their origins. The heart is not a prison, and if one law is mastered, all laws are mastered. If you stick to "obtaining", you may be afraid that the law will tire your heart, and you will never be able to obtain the Dao. If you let go of distracting thoughts, your heart Self-conceit is empty, and you will get twice the result with half the effort. After all, all Taoism methods, in the end, will always be the word "empty"! Because when the Primordial Meng first opened up, everything in the world is exactly "empty"!"

After hearing this, the urinal was stunned.

"What's wrong with you?" Stone touched him with his foot.

The urinal spun and spun, getting bigger and bigger, and the shape became more and more empty, turning into a cloud of white mist.Suddenly the white mist dissipated, and a person appeared.He is not very old, calculated based on the age of ordinary people, about forty or so, born with sword eyebrows and star eyes, immortal demeanor, dressed in green clothes, ethereal in the mountains and fields.It was Subhuti who had always refused to admit his identity.

"At the beginning of Hongmeng, there is no original surname, and to break the obstinacy, Wukong must be realized." ① Subhuti looked confused, "Is this someone taught you, or did you think of it yourself?" The last little monkey who doesn't know the slightest magic?This realization shocked and confused him.

"I think about it myself. I think about it when I have nothing to do in Huaguo Mountain. I want to find a way to escape the rules. No one in Huaguo Mountain can teach me." Shitou knelt down and said seriously, "Master, are you willing to accept me?" Is it a disciple?"

"Do you still need someone to teach you such an understanding? Sooner or later you will gain the Tao, sooner or later."

"I think earlier, after I have learned spells, I am qualified to find someone and meet him as an equal."

"What do you want to learn?" Subhuti asked.

Shitou smiled again: "Actually, what I want to learn, I'm afraid you won't be able to teach me."

Subhuti gasped: Such a proud monkey!

"Then tell me."

The stone looked up at the sky: "I have a dream. When I want to fly, I will get out of the way that day. When I enter the sea, the water will be divided into two sides. All the immortals and gods will call me brothers when they see me. I am carefree and there is nothing in the world. There is no one who can control me, no place I can't reach, nothing I can't do, nothing..." ② "Stop!" Subhuti hurriedly said, "Please give me a brief introduction. , to sum it up in one sentence, don’t use parallelism.”

"Simply put, as long as you teach me that I can defeat Yang Jian."

"Ah, bah! You go, go! It turns out that you want to be number one in the world. I can't teach you this. If I could teach you, are you still playing with the urinal?"

Subhuti wanted to leave, but the stone grabbed him.Subhuti took out a wooden stick and hit him hard on the head three times, then turned his back and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Shitou knelt down and shouted: "Master, if you don't accept me, I have no choice but to kneel down!"

But he didn't want to kneel, so he knelt for six days.Subhuti originally had the idea of ​​escaping from the world, so he fled to Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai.If he wanted to hide from others, no matter what, he would not be found.Subhuti is the youngest disciple of the Tathagata. He was mischievous when he was young and caused many disasters. What he is best at in his life is running away.In the Three Realms, no one has been able to find him out.Shi Shi still didn't know the origin of Subhuti, but he also knew that if a fairy didn't want to see him, he had no choice but to kneel down and beg for mercy.

He was very hungry at first, and Shitou was obsessed with it, thinking that if he couldn't learn the spell, it would be fine to starve to death.Later, Xu was so hungry that he didn't feel stomach pain anymore.On the fifth day, Shitou was still in good spirits and did not die of starvation or thirst. Only then did he understand what Subhuti said "sooner or later he will attain the Tao".The stone monkey born by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon must have a body different from that of ordinary wombs.

On the seventh day, when the sun moved to the south, a monk with a bald head sang a song and walked up the mountain. When he saw the stone, he asked with great interest, "Another person who came to apprentice?"

"who are you?"

The monk replied, "Golden Chanzi."

"It's not like the name of the main character."

Jin Chanzi laughed loudly: "Have you met Subhuti?"

Stone nodded.

"Tell me about the specific situation, maybe I can help you."

Stone said.Jin Chanzi sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity, the last three times he hit you with a wooden stick means that he will wait for you at the Three Star Cave of the Oblique Moon at midnight that night, turn around and walk away with his hands behind his back, meaning that he will let you go through the back door." Go in, and he will hold the door for you. It's a pity that today is the seventh day, he is an impatient and fateful person, and he will definitely not wait for you for so long."

Stone was in a hurry: "Then what should I do?"

Jin Chanzi smiled like a fox: "Since you think that all dharmas come from the same origin and lead to the same goal through different routes, why not follow me, I figured out that you and I have a relationship between master and apprentice."

Before Shi Shi could answer, a loud voice came from the side: "Senior brother, if you snatch this apprentice away, I will ignore you again!" A person came in an instant, it was Subhuti, running so fast that his beard fluttered.

Jin Chanzi smiled wider and wider.

Subhuti suddenly understood: "You did it on purpose!"

"Hahaha." Jin Chanzi said to Shishi, "Look, what did I say? Did I provoke him?"

Subhuti was so angry that his beard trembled, pointing at Jin Chanzi: "You you you..."

"I'm not lying to you. I really want to take him in as an apprentice." Jin Chanzi's expression changed, "Where can I find such qualifications and background? I have a different view on Buddhism from Master. Can pass on my mantle and pass on my method. This person has a very high understanding, and his future achievements will not be inferior to you and me, so he is the right person."

"You you you..." Subhuti became even more angry, "You should lie to me, I am willing to let you lie."

Jin Chanzi said to Shi Shi: "Please decide who you want to worship as your teacher."

Stone looked left and right, and finally turned to Jin Chanzi and said, "How do you compare with Yang Jian?"

"Yang Jian became a saint in body, and his tyrannical force is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Jin Chan has always admired it. Since Pangu opened the world, I have only seen Yang Jian with the power to make the three worlds tremble through his own understanding. If he was in another place, Jin Chan Cicada's achievements are definitely not as high as Yang Jian. In terms of understanding alone, I am afraid that you are the only one in the Three Realms who can compare with him."

"Short, don't use parallelism, just one sentence!" Shitou said, "Just tell me who will win when you two fight!"

"Yang Jian studied under Yuanshi Tianzun's disciple Yuding Zhenren. He practiced Taoism, I studied under Tathagata, and I cultivated Buddha. We have different directions and have strengths and weaknesses. In terms of force alone, Yang Jian can be called the God of War in the Three Realms, but my force is not the same. Not enough to top the Three Realms, although my spells can restrain him, but because his body is sanctified, he has an advantage..."

The stone was dizzy, and looked to Subhuti as if asking for help.Subhuti said three words: "Brother wins!"

Stone made a comparison in his mind, Jin Chanzi's mana was obviously higher than Subhuti's, and Subhuti's personality was obviously more to his liking, it was really hard to choose.

"Last question." Shitou said to Jin Chanzi, "Can you become a urinal?"

Jin Chanzi was taken aback: "What urinal?"

"It's a urinal that can talk, run and jump, has long arms and legs, and can pee in it."

"Hey, hey!" Subhuti didn't like to hear the last point.

"Ah, is this one made of jade or wood? Is there a size requirement? I practice Buddhism and read scriptures on weekdays. Sometimes I walk around to see the growth of all things in nature, and understand the true meaning of life from it. , Although I have seen such dead things as urinals, I have never studied them carefully. Unexpectedly, it was my negligence. It seems that everything in the world has its own value, and it is my fault to ignore it..."

Stone once again looked at Subhuti with pleading eyes.Subhuti said three words: "He won't!"

Stone knelt down to Subhuti: "Sun Wukong pays homage to Master!"

This is the first time he calls himself Monkey King.

As soon as the word "Sun Wukong" came out, Subhuti shuddered, and his gaze towards Sun Wukong became elusive.After a long time, he just let out a long sigh and said: "Senior brother is really good at tricks. I didn't want to accept him, but after being made such a fuss by senior brother, I finally accepted him. Senior brother often talks about his incompetence in Buddhism and unworthy of being a master who misleads his children. Today he said uncharacteristically. If I want to take this monkey, I will be confused if I care about it, so I actually believe it."

"You obviously want to take him in as your apprentice." Jin Chanzi said, "Why do you go against your own heart?"

"Could it be that senior brother can't see his fate? How dare I accept him as an apprentice? If he gets into big trouble in the future, can I still hide in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and be at ease?"

After hearing this, Jin Chanzi looked up to the sky with a long smile, and shouted: "Why did Master name Tathagata?"

"The Tathagata comes by taking the path of the True Tathagata, so it is called the Tathagata..." Subhuti's expression changed, "Come truthfully? Come truthfully! I understand."

Subhuti helped Sun Wukong.

"From now on, no matter under what circumstances, you are not allowed to say that I am your master. Can you do it, Monkey King?"

Sun Wukong nodded, and since then he has practiced spells with Subhuti, and later he became the king of all demons trembling in the Three Realms, Sun Wukong, making the name of Monkey King remain in the legend.

Hundreds of years later, Monkey King was crushed on the Five Elements Mountain, Jin Chanzi self-destructed and fell back into reincarnation, and Erlang Shen came to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain to find Subhuti to discuss the important matter of traveling to the West.Subhuti recalled the scene of accepting disciples, filled with emotion.

Immortals are all good at spells, and Subhuti's fortune-telling skills are second to none in the three realms. Back then, when Sun Wukong was a little monkey who couldn't do magic, Subhuti calculated that he would do a great job one day, and even counted that one day Erlang Shen Face to face with the Tathagata Buddha.It's a pity that he figured out the cause of Journey to the West, but he couldn't figure out the ending of Journey to the West.

Journey to the West seems to be doomed on the day Sun Wukong learned magic.The gears of fate turn gently, what will happen to these people who are against fate in the game of Journey to the West?
