Liaozhai: Starting from Inheriting Taoism

Chapter 403 The Monkey Wakes Up
Ye Feng's smile remained unchanged. He knew the meaning of Tathagata too well. If he could find the monkey, he would just think about it first and then replace the six ears. Buddhism has plenty of ways to improve the monkey's strength.

Unfortunately, Ye Feng would not give them such a chance.

"Do fellow Taoists think these words are interesting? Do you Buddhists care about these?"

Tathagata naturally understands Ye Feng's meaning. In their eyes, what is a monkey, let alone a monkey, even a golden cicada is not something that cannot be discarded, let alone a monkey, how good is the relationship between a monkey and Ye Feng? To want Ye Feng to give up such a big benefit for the monkey is indeed a bit of a dream.

"Fellow Daoist, the poor monk needs to think about it."

Ye Feng knew that the matter was almost done, "Fellow daoist, do as you please, don't worry if you are poor."

Tathagata sighed in his heart when he heard the words, yes, people are not in a hurry, the advantage lies in people.

Tathagata has not experienced the feeling of being passive for a long time, but now because of Ye Feng, he is passive every step of the way, "Fellow Taoist, the poor monk bids farewell."

After sending Tathagata away, Fairy Taiyin and Fairy Shaoyin looked at Ye Feng and said, "My lord, did he agree?"

Ye Feng had already talked about the key points with Fairy Taiyin and Fairy Shaoyin before. At this time, the two of them naturally knew about the involvement. They were a little curious about the Tathagata's easy concession. It won't be so easy to regress.

"It's not that easy, it's just a tactic to delay the attack, and the Tathagata will definitely continue to struggle in the future, but as I said before, the initiative is on our side, as long as we follow the steps, Taiyin, I will trouble you to follow Sun Hong , in case the Buddhist dog jumps over the wall in a hurry."

Yes, Ye Feng was going to let Fairy Taiyin follow the scripture learning team, mainly to protect Sun Hong, and at the same time to express his determination to Buddhism.

Although the Buddhist dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, the possibility of directly taking Sun Hong down is very small, but it is not impossible. Buddhism has a way of getting rid of people's hearts. Become one of your own, Buddhism will definitely do it.

"Okay, young master, I'm leaving now." After finishing speaking, Fairy Taiyin looked at Fairy Shaoyin again, "Sister, I will leave this place to you, young master. You must take good care of young master."

"Don't worry, sister."

Fairy Taiyin is still very willing to do something. Although staying by Ye Feng's side is free and there is no shortage of cultivation resources, it is better to exert some self-worth after all.

Demon world.

Monkey King woke up slowly, but found that he was actually in a black lotus, surrounded by dim light, and even the aura around him was quite different.

"This is where?"

The scene of fighting with Sun Hong that day appeared in my mind, and I couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Sun Wukong has always regarded himself very highly, especially after breaking through the Da Luo Jinxian. The main reason is that he has been born for so long, except for being tricked by the Tathagata, everything else has been smooth and smooth, and he has never been defeated. He called out the great sage, let alone Sun Wukong, anyone who put it on him would easily become arrogant.

It wasn't until the battle with Sun Hong that Sun Wukong was awakened. Sun Hong practiced the way of killing in the demon world, but he didn't let monkeys in the slightest. It's a few explosions, but it's not very useful, and it has been at a disadvantage. This is the first time Monkey King is so close to death.

Before he died, he thought a lot, but in the end, only a few people left his thoughts in his heart, which is boring!Yes, it's just boring, this is the last feeling of Monkey King.

He originally thought that he would die this time, but he didn't expect that he would have a chance to wake up again, and this was not the underworld.

Monkey King has also been to the underworld, so he is very familiar with the underworld, so he is sure that this is not the place, but where is it?
Standing up, for some reason, he felt that his strength had been lost, and he became the same as when he just jumped out of the rock, but his body was stronger than other monkeys.

Was it all a dream before, and now it's back in the stone?

It's hard to imagine that Sun Wukong has such an imagination.

He didn't want to sit still, and began to explore around, wanting to find a way out, but there seemed to be nothing but the endless open space and the dark sky, no matter where he went, it was the same, This broke the monkey very much.

Monkeys are not very patient. Here, he doesn't know the time, and no one talks to him. It is even more difficult than the time when he was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain.

He originally thought that the time when he was crushed on the Five Elements Mountain had sharpened his mind very firmly, but now it seems that it is really far behind.

I don't know how long it has passed, the monkey is about to give up, he has walked for too long, too far, but he can't see a way out, at this time he has to wonder if he has been Trapped somewhere, perhaps, he will starve to death here in the future.

That's right, he who had cultivated to Daluo Jinxian actually felt hungry at this time, which is really a memorable feeling.

In the end, the monkey was completely ruined, and he was going to be the first monkey to be starved to death, and maybe the last one. Maybe the friends in the three realms would know how he died, and maybe they would take him as a laughing stock. , but what can be done about that.

I don't know what happened to Master and the others?

Could it be that the fake monkey will continue to learn scriptures instead of him?

Thinking of this, the monkey wanted to know the situation urgently again, but now he was just an ordinary monkey trapped to death.

Touching his forehead, the only thing that may surprise him is that the golden hoop on his head is gone.

But it was useless. In the future, he might not have the chance to hear the master recite the scriptures. In the past, he hated Xuanzang to recite the scriptures, but now he misses it a little. Even if it hurts to death, he doesn't want to just let himself go.

No, he must continue to find a way out.

Perhaps because of unwillingness, the monkey actually gave birth to the desire to survive.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, suddenly there was a light in front of him, and the monkey was overjoyed. There was a light in this dark space, could it be a way out?

A dash of hope suddenly appeared in my heart, and I accelerated towards the light.

But the light was so far away, he felt that he had already run as far as a somersault, but he hadn't reached the source of the light yet.

But the light now is his only hope, and he will find it no matter how far away it is.

I don't know how long it has passed, but the monkey is really tired. He is so tired that even his consciousness is a little fuzzy.

"Tao can be Tao, it is very Tao; name can be named, it is very named. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, name, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always no desire to see its beauty, and there is always desire to see its beauty. The two are the same. It comes out with different names, the same name is Xuan, and Xuan is also Xuan, the door of all wonders..."

The monkey seemed to have returned to Baiyun Mountain and Qingfeng Temple again, and he heard Ye Feng's lecture again. This voice made him feel like rain after a long drought, as if it gave him hope for life again.

The monkey before just listened to the scriptures, but didn’t understand its meaning. Ye Feng didn’t explain it to him. At that time, he only felt that his heart was very peaceful after listening to Ye Feng’s lectures. Forgot it in the back of his mind, if he hadn't suddenly dreamed back to Qingfeng Temple today, he might have completely forgotten it.

Today's scriptures seem to be different from what they heard before, and the monkey seems to understand the meaning of the scriptures.

This scripture seems to be not just a simple scripture, but also a practice that can be practiced.

The monkey operates according to the feeling, and wisps of spiritual energy enter the monkey's body from the outside world, and then are absorbed by him.

With the supplement of spiritual energy, the monkey seemed to be less hungry and calmed down.

I don't know how long it has passed, but the sound of sutras has stopped, and the monkey slowly opened his eyes. He was pleasantly surprised to find that his surroundings are no longer in that dark space, but in a place similar to an inn. Yes, it was the inn, just like the inns he saw when he first came to Aolai.

And he was sitting cross-legged on the bed, feeling the state at this time, hunger and sleepiness no longer, the whole person has become energetic, and he is no longer that ordinary monkey, he felt the power returned to his body, although It has not been fully recovered, and it seems that the attribute of strength is also different, but it has indeed recovered some.

Probably equivalent to the level of immortals.

He slowly got out of bed, came to the window, opened the window, and bursts of noisy voices came into his ears.

There are voices of hawking, quarrels, mothers chasing and beating their children, and bargaining...

Which country has this come to?But these people are so strange, they all have cultivation, the monkey can clearly sense that these people have cultivation, but the attribute of this power is a bit strange, he has never seen it before.

Although he lost his strength, he is the Da Luo Jinxian after all, and his spiritual sense has not been lost.

He was going to go out to have a look, maybe it would be a good idea to find someone to ask where this place is, who got him a place to live, recalling the preaching sound in the dream before, could it be that the priest saved him?
Going out of the room, the monkey found that he lived on the second floor, and the first floor was a place to eat. There were more than a dozen tables, and there was a table at the end where someone was singing. Yes, the monkey heard it in Aolai Country This kind of drama.

He walked downstairs slowly and sat down at an empty table.

A man who looked like a junior came over and asked enthusiastically, "Guest officer, what do you want?"

The monkey looked at the menu on the wall, ordered a few at random, and ordered a jug of wine whose name he had never heard before.

"The Holy Monarch started from the West Pole, went to the West Continent, then started from the North Continent, took the East Continent, the South Continent, and finally settled in the Dingzhong Continent. Only then did we have the prosperous life we ​​are waiting for today. I really never tire of listening to this drama."

"Yeah, our holy world has not fought a war for a long, long time. This kind of life is so wonderful."

······
Holy world!holy king!
While tasting the food and wine, the monkey listened to the voices of the people in the inn, and gradually understood a lot of things. For example, the world he is in now should not be prehistoric, but a place called the holy world.

The person who rules this world is called a sage, and the specific strength is not known.

However, in the mouths of these people, the holy king is already the strongest, and the monkey scoffed at this kind of statement, maybe that holy king is not as strong as him.

People in the holy world are born with a cultivation base, the lowest is a human immortal cultivation base, that is to say, his current level is equivalent to the level of a child. This makes the monkey feel a little urgent and wants to hurry up. Improving his cultivation, not to mention the fact that he can't beat a child, is shameful in itself. Besides, although this world is said to be peaceful, what if someone attacks him.

Monkeys are not used to losing power suddenly after mastering powerful power.

However, he found that the Bajiu Xuangong could no longer be practiced, and the only thing he could practice was the set of nameless exercises that he had comprehended while listening to the Tao Te Ching.

After thinking about it, the monkey is ready to return to the room and continue to practice. Now that he has basically figured out the current situation, he should work hard to restore his cultivation.

"Guest officer, you haven't settled the bill yet?"

It’s just that the monkey just took a few steps before he was stopped by Xiaoer. People in the holy world have different shapes, monkeys are not ugly, they can only be considered average, even in the inn, there are a few that are more ferocious than monkeys Yes, but these people seem to be used to such different shapes of people, so they don't reject monkeys.

Bill, please!

Houzi suddenly remembered something. When he was in Aolai Country, it seemed that he had to pay for food and drink. But over the years, he was used to robbing and begging for alms, and he had forgotten these rules. Now it is a bit embarrassing to be stopped by others , touched the body.

Well, the pocket is cleaner than the face, at least the face is hairy.

When he was thinking about whether to run, he was already blocked by a few guys from the store. These guys were all of higher cultivation than him, so it was not easy to run away.

"The guest officer doesn't have money, does he?"

Monkey nodded helplessly. He was already ready to be kicked out of the inn after being beaten up by Xiaoer. According to Monkey's previous habits, he must be playing a scoundrel, making a scene first, and then taking the opportunity to escape. , He felt that it was only natural to give money for meals. Since he couldn't give money, it was also right to let someone beat him.

But what surprised Monkey was that Xiao Er didn't beat him, but led him to find the shopkeeper of the inn.

"Shopkeeper, this guest officer has no money to pay for dinner."

The shopkeeper was trying to settle the accounts, so he took a moment to look up at the monkey, then took out a piece of paper from the cabinet, and handed it to the monkey, "Write your name on it, and make a fingerprint. According to the rules before the holy calendar, you must be dead. But now we are bathed in the glory of the Holy King, everything must be civilized, since there is no money to settle the bill, then you can follow the caravan of the inn to go hunting in the mountains, when the money is exchanged, and when to leave. "
