Open up the world in Journey to the West

Chapter 20: The Third Watch, the Way of Bodhi

When Sun Wukong and the others reached the top of Fangcun Mountain, the door of Xianyue Cave opened, and Patriarch Bodhi just walked out of the cave.

A series of exclamations came from the disciples sitting down.

The disciples of Fangcun Mountain once again saw the true face of Patriarch Bodhi, and they all knelt down and worshiped.

"Meet the ancestors!"

"Meet Master!"

"."

"."

The sounds of kneeling and worshiping vary. Some call Patriarch Bodhi the master, while others call the Patriarch Bodhi the ancestor.

But their faces showed excitement!
That is an immortal, a hidden immortal in the earthly immortal world. It is their chance to see an immortal.

I saw an immortal again today, and today's immortal can still preach. How can I not shock them?

At the entrance of Xianyue Cave, rows of futons are placed under a huge pulpit.

Patriarch Bodhi stepped onto the podium, while Fairy Boy stood on one side.

I saw the ancestor wearing a yellow robe, with white beard and hair, but he had a white hair in his childhood. Wisps of perfect aura scattered from Ancestor Bodhi, and soon this perfect aura filled the entire entrance of the cave.

The clear and insightful sound came loudly.

"You have been on the mountain for many years. My ancestors have spent most of their time in seclusion and have never disciplined you."

"My ancestor is free today and will give you a sermon."

The disciples in the audience were overjoyed and pricked up their ears to listen to the sound of the great road.

"Mortals cultivate their energy and spirit, cultivate their golden elixirs, forge their innate heels and feet, and overcome calamities and ascend."

"Refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, refining spirit to return to void, returning void to combine with Tao, this is the secret of cultivation, also known as golden elixir formula."

Patriarch Bodhi arrived slowly, "This golden elixir method is the Xuanmen Qi refining method, which was passed down by the Supreme Master."

When the disciples heard this, they were all excited.

Taishang Laojun!
They had heard of the name of this immortal. He was a heavenly giant who lived in Lihentian, the highest level of the 33rd heaven.

It is said that when the Jade Emperor met the Supreme Lord, he would treat him with courtesy.

There are rumors that the Xuanmen Taoism in the earthly immortal world first worships the Three Pure Ones and then declares the true ancestor!

For example, in the Dragon and Tiger lineage, the Dragon and Tiger Celestial Masters need to worship the Xuanmen Sanqing first, and then worship the ancestors of Longhu Mountain.

And Taiqing Laozi, the leader of the Three Pure Ones, is Taishang Laojun!

The background of this immortal is astonishing.

"Ancestor has also met Laojun many times. This golden elixir method is what Laojun obtained from alchemy."

"Lao Jun is refining elixirs, refining golden elixirs!"

"The human body is like a great medicine. The heaven and earth are used as the oven, the sun and the moon are used as creation, the yin and yang universe are used as the fire, and then the five elements are used to refine the human body's divine treasure and open the path to immortality."

Patriarch Bodhi gave a sermon at the pulpit. He first talked about the Taoist Dharma and then the Buddhist Kung Fu.

"Xitian Lingshan, named after the Buddha, is divided into Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism."

There were constant voices of surprise and doubt, because they had never heard that Buddhism was divided into small and large.

"The great crossing of common people, the small crossing of oneself, first crossing of common people and then one's own body, this is the Mahayana Dharma! First one's crossing of one's body, and then the small crossing of one's own body, this is the Hinayana Buddhism."

The scope of Patriarch Bodhi’s sermons was so wide that he even covered Buddhism clearly. In the end, Patriarch Bodhi also talked about Confucianism and Taoism.

"The three methods of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are all methods of immortality. The interpretation of Dharma, large and small, are all wonderful methods of practice."

"Xuanmen Taoism is mediocre and regular. If you practice it steadily, you can become an immortal."

"The side sect of Confucianism and Taoism is the most bizarre. Cultivate a noble righteousness, cultivate justice in heaven and earth, maintain a famous court, establish morality, meritorious service, and establish immortality. This is the entry point!"

"The method of getting started is feasible for everyone, but if you want to become a saint through Confucianism and Taoism, you are missing three points."

"."

Patriarch Bodhi is actually talking about Confucius! !
To say that his enlightenment was short of three points, is this what the world dares to say?

Kong Sheng!

That is the sage and master of the human race, and a guiding light for the human race to move forward.

The human race is immortal, and Confucius is also immortal!
Confucius is immortal, and so can the human race!
With such great power, he was crowned a saint by the human race, and no creature in the entire earthly and immortal world dared to refute him.

This is the reputation of the sage of Confucianism and Taoism!After Patriarch Bodhi commented on Confucius, he continued to explain Taoism. This time he explained in detail the way to refine and transform Qi.

The disciples were fascinated by what he heard, but eight of them had different expressions and seemed to have different opinions.

Sun Wukong was sitting on the futon. He had already closed his eyes and was meditating on the Perfect Method.

He has lit the divine fire and is considering the realm of holy sacrifice.

The 4000 million divine elephant particles in the body were motionless without any abnormalities, and the innate aura was also restrained by Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong did not listen to a word of the sound of the Great Dao on the pulpit.

The other seven people are the seven new disciples of the Yuanzi generation.

Yuantong's face was heavy. She thought that Patriarch Bodhi would talk about some great ways. Apart from Buddhism, any immortal could explain these principles.

"Impossible, it's impossible for Sun Wukong to abandon the Immortal Way of the Pure One because of these Taoisms!"

Yuantong was puzzled, and the gloomy look on his face became even stronger.

The six big men looked at each other, a little confused.

They gathered information from the seniors of the demon clan and knew that Fangcun Mountain was the territory of Buddhism, and that the ancestor of Fangcun Mountain was a supreme being in Buddhism!
At least he is a Buddha.

They dare not make mistakes, but what is this about? ?

After listening to the sermon for a while, the six big men felt drowsy and might fall asleep at any time.

Suddenly a voice sounded beside them.

"You bastard monkey, why are you sleeping here?? Did the ancestor say something wrong? Or did he say it incorrectly?"

The six big men quickly opened their eyes, only to see Patriarch Bodhi standing in front of Sun Wukong at some point, looking at Sun Wukong angrily.

Sun Wukong also opened his eyes at this moment, and he looked at Patriarch Bodhi with a blank expression.

Why does this ancestor think so highly of him?

"What do you want to learn when you come under my door?"

Ancestor Bodhi said angrily, "I have the art of fighting among the stars in the sky, the art of escaping into the dark world, and the art of turning the sun and moon upside down and shattering the starry sky."

"You bastard, what do you want to learn when you join my sect? Tell me quickly!"

Sun Wukong was so anxious that he could not speak. He waved his hands repeatedly.

"Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor"

When Patriarch Bodhi saw Sun Wukong waving his hands, he thought he didn't want to practice these techniques, which made Patriarch Bodhi even more angry.

"You hozen, you don't learn so much, you don't learn that, but what are you going to do?"

Patriarch Bodhi stretched out his hand, and a ruler flew from a distance.

Taking a step forward, Patriarch Bodhi hit Sun Wukong three times on the head, put his hands behind his back, walked into the Xianyue Cave, and disappeared.

A group of disciples were left behind, panicking.

The ancestor opened the forum and preached all afternoon. They gained a lot, but they never expected to end the sermon with this.

"Ugh--------"

"Junior Brother Wukong, it's your fault today!"

"How can you be so angry, ancestor?"

"Master is able to preach, which is a great blessing for us. After this sermon, I don't know how many years will pass before Master will reopen the forum."

The disciples of Fangcun Mountain sighed again and again and blamed Sun Wukong.

At this point, there was no other way, so these figures had no choice but to go down Fangcun Mountain.

Only seven other people were left sitting on the futons.

The seven people looked at Sun Wukong and then at the closed door of Xianyue Sanxing Cave, and they already understood clearly.

"Third watch!"

"What a midnight day!"

"Let's see what kind of teachings Ancestor Bodhi will pass on to make Sun Wukong willing to stay in Fangcun Mountain!"

But Sun Wukong didn't care at all and went straight down to Xianyue Cave.

Now he can finally go to Tianmen to practice.
