Journey to the West: Six Ears of Rebirth

Chapter 63
The monkey made a dead wood raft, still made artemisia from bamboo, and started on the journey of seeking immortals and Taoism again.This time, he followed the current through the West Sea and headed towards Xiniu Hezhou.

This place in Xiniu Hezhou can be said to be the land of the Buddha, full of treasures.The people live and work in peace and contentment, and everything is full of vitality.This place plays a very important role in Journey to the West, because the Great Leiyin Temple of the Tathagata of the West is located here.Journey to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures has to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties in order to obtain the true scriptures.

And this learning of scriptures started from the Tang Dynasty in Dongtu in Nanfangbu Prefecture, and went straight to Da Leiyin Temple in Hezhou, Xiniu.During the Journey to the West, the history of Nanfangbu Prefecture is based on ancient China, and it is probably still in the Qin Dynasty at this moment.

At this time, Sun Wukong took this path in search of immortality, and later he followed Tang Monk westward to learn Buddhist scriptures in the same way.When meeting Zen Master Wuchao on the road, Zen Master Wuchao said, "Ask the acquaintance, he will know the way to the west", which is obviously a monkey.

Lu Ning is quite clear about this, but he has no chance, but he has not met Zen Master Wuchao.Seeing the monkey driving the raft out to sea, he also followed closely behind.

Following the sea breeze and current, Lu Ning and the monkey landed on the boundary of Xiniu Hezhou after three months.The customs of the people in Xiniu Hezhou are very different from those in the southern part of the state. In terms of image, they are very similar to the human costumes in India, with dark skin and thin bodies. Women wear long scarves to cover their faces, which is attractive. The charm of people.

The monkey was very straightforward this time, and he didn't go to crowded places. Wherever there were mountains and water, he would go there.In just one and a half months, the monkey's eyes lit up.

He saw a higher and more beautiful mountain than the others, with a deep forest and a gurgling stream.He is not afraid of wolves, tigers and leopards, so he climbs to the top of the mountain to watch.

There is a good sentence in Journey to the West that describes the scenery here, the peaks are like halberds, and the walls are like cuts.The sun shines down, completely locking the emerald green, and the dark-colored mountains are undulating.Rare flowers and auspicious grasses, tall bamboos and pine trees.Birds singing and flowers fragrant, light and darkness flickering.There are many valleys surrounded by orchids, and moss grows everywhere on the cliffs.

As soon as the monkey saw that this place was full of spiritual energy, which was completely different from the beautiful scenery in other places, it immediately judged that there must be a high-level person living in it.

He ran into the forest excitedly and began to search around.Knowing that this is the so-called Fangcun Mountain, Lu Ning stepped forward and followed closely with a chuckle.

Not everyone can enter this place, only people with predestined relationship can enter the saint dojo.Patriarch Bodhi figured out that someone would come to him to learn from him today, so he opened the door of convenience, and Lu Ning was able to take advantage of it.In the later stage, when Monkey King destroyed the ginseng fruit tree, he came to look for his master again, but he didn't even see anyone.

This time the monkey only searched for two hours before making a new discovery.Lu Ning's six ears were extremely sensitive, and he could hear it even hundreds of miles away.

"Watching chess and cutting lumber, walking slowly at the mouth of the valley by the clouds, selling salaries and selling wine, laughing wildly from pottery. The green path is high in autumn, facing the moon and pillowing pine roots, and the dawn is dawn. Recognize the old forest, climb the cliff and cross the ridge, and break it with an axe. Withered vines. Harvested into a load, in the song market, Yimi three liters. There is no competition, the market price is flat, no cleverness, no honor or disgrace, calm and prolong life. When you meet, you are either a fairy or a Taoist. Sitting quietly and talking about yellow court."

In the depths of the forest, a woodcutter walked by, singing loudly.

The monkey had an idea, and immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Old fairy!"

Lu Ning was very clear about the rest. After the woodcutter denied that he was a god, he introduced to the monkey that the real god was the Bodhi Patriarch in the Three Star Cave of the Oblique Moon. The monkey was overjoyed and immediately went to look for it.

Arriving here, it can be said that it is already close to the gate of Bodhi Patriarch's cave.After walking another seven or eight miles and passing a hillside, the monkey saw a cave.

Haze scattered colors, the sun and the moon shake light.Thousands of old cypresses, ten thousand knots of bamboo.Half of the sky is covered by a long rainbow, and the third part of the sky is gradually shining with golden light.In the woods by the roadside, the elk looks at love, and the white ape looks blankly.There are also golden lions and jade elephants, and animals of various colors.The monkey went up and found that the cave door was closed, and there was a stone tablet on the top of the cliff, about three feet high and eight feet wide, with a line of ten big characters on it, which read "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Slanting Moon and Three Star Cave".

The monkey was overjoyed, and shouted loudly: "Sure enough, there are gods here, there are gods, haha."

After going forward, he was afraid of the majesty of the gods, did not dare to knock on the door, scratched his cheeks left and head right.After a while, the door of the cave squeaked, but it rang, and a fairy boy walked out, handsome and majestic, with a strange appearance.

"Who is harassing here?" Xiantong shouted.

The monkey hurried forward, bowed and said, "I'm here to seek immortality and Taoism, so I don't dare to disturb you here."

Xiantong looked at the monkey and said with a smile, "Are you visiting Tao?"

"Yes." The monkey replied.

"My master just stayed at the bed and gave a sermon on the altar. Before he could tell the reason, he asked me to come out and open the door. He said, 'There is a practitioner outside, please go and receive him'. It must be you?"

The Monkey King smiled and said, "It's me, it's me."

The boy said, "Come in with me."

For the rest, continue to move forward according to the original book. Sun Wukong entered the Sanxing Cave and was named Sun Wukong by the Bodhi Patriarch. Since then, the monkey raised by nature has finally had its own name.

At this moment, Lu Ning found a place where he could practice alone, which was only a hundred miles away from the Sanxing Cave, and he could clearly hear every move inside with his ears.Hearing is the most unbelievable ability, even if a sage does not count it, it is difficult to detect it.

You stand here talking, how can you still know that someone is eavesdropping hundreds of miles away?
Therefore, even Patriarch Bodhi, if he did not calculate in advance, he would not know whether someone was eavesdropping when he spoke.For Lu Ning, the supernatural power of the six-eared macaque has great potential.

Sun Wukong started his journey of cultivating Taoism, and Lu Ning temporarily lived on the Fangcun Mountain of Lingtai.Gradually, as he became familiar with everything here, some secrets that surprised him were revealed to him.

Those seemingly ordinary elks and golden lions and jade elephants in the mountains and forests are also monsters with successful cultivation.The level is mostly around [-], but unlike the monsters outside, they don't have that evil spirit.It's as if they were born in gangsters, and they are different from refined scholars, one is rude and the other is elegant.

Lu Ning also tried to talk to these elegant monsters, and finally sat down on the ground and began to talk about Taoism.Discussing the Dao is a common occurrence in the prehistoric world. The roads and roads that everyone walks are different, mutually confirming and complementing each other, and they will go faster.

These monsters are obviously very professional. Their theoretical knowledge, ahem, in prehistoric terms, is Dao, and their Dao is very systematic and hierarchical.Let Lu Ning sort out his messy understanding of Tao thoroughly.

Lu Ning is very interested in these.After some days of discussion, he understood a lot.For example, they divided the prehistoric combat system into spell type, melee type, magic weapon type, supernatural power type, and rule type.Cultivation levels are divided into mortals, drawing qi into the body, refining qi to transform gods, refining gods to return to the void, the realm of earth immortals, the realm of heavenly immortals, Taiyi heavenly immortals, golden immortals, Daluo golden immortals, quasi-sages, beheading corpses, saints, Daozu.

There are also the grade of the magic weapon, the grade of the weapon, and so on.However, compared to the former, the division of magical weapons is much more vague, only divided into two categories: innate and acquired.The difference in power is not big, it only depends on whether the user is strong or not.

According to these monsters, all the knowledge they got came from the Bodhi Patriarch in the Three Star Cave.In his spare time, the patriarch would spread Taoism widely and teach living beings the skills of cultivation.Lu Ning's eyes lit up, it really is that the near water is the first to get the moon, and there are such benefits here.

Three months later, Lu Ning really waited for his first sermon.It is worth mentioning that after Sun Wukong paid homage to his master, he did not make any progress in the past three months.Because the first thing after entering the door, Patriarch Bodhi taught him salutations, writing, cleaning and other trivial chores.

Patriarch Bodhi began to preach, and the animals with a radius of hundreds of miles above Fangcun Mountain all rushed to come here.A long rainbow hangs on half of the sky, and the rain of seven colors is pattering down.Sprinkle it on all things, it will make people feel refreshed, and all kinds of demonic obstacles and hidden injuries will be eliminated.

Lu Ning also sat at the back, hiding himself behind thousands of animals.Everything on this square-inch mountain is very spiritual, and the ones that don't change their form also clasp their limbs to the ground, making a big gift.

Patriarch Bodhi was dressed in a gray Taoist robe with wide sleeves, his white hair was tied up with a hairpin, and he slowly walked up to the podium with a floating dust in his right hand.Then he sat down cross-legged gently, this sitting made Lu Ning's pupils shrink.

The patriarch did not sit on the podium, but at the same time when he sat down, a seven-color lotus platform appeared, shining with dazzling brilliance, and turning around.

Sweeping down casually, Patriarch Bodhi closed his eyes and began to preach.

Lu Ning often heard that the identity of the Bodhi Patriarch was extremely mysterious, and he didn't know where he came from.But the supernatural powers are vast, the way of oneself runs through things, the way of immortals and Buddhas.Listening to his sermon at this moment, I immediately agree with it.

The way of this saint is all-encompassing and all-encompassing.The two theories of Buddhism and Taoism were quoted by him from the classics, and he eloquently eloquently.In the end, the sky is full of long rainbows and lotuses are everywhere.His voice was not loud, and it seemed neutral and peaceful, but it penetrated into the hearts of every listener.Thousands of creatures were intoxicated by it, shaking their heads and enjoying it very much.

The sermon only lasted for an hour, but when Patriarch Bodhi got up to leave, Lu Ning was pleasantly surprised to find that his experience bar, which had been difficult to jump since he reached level [-], had rolled forward a little.

This saint's preaching can actually improve people's cultivation. This is an inexplicable receipt and a surprise.

After Patriarch Bodhi returned to the Three Star Cave, he sat on his futon, closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes and sighed.

In his mind, a man wearing a black dragon robe and a long tail behind his buttocks appeared.This person is Lu Ning.His existence had long been known to the saint.

"Fate, reason, fate?!"

"Forget it, let's repay this fate!"
