Journey to the West: Interpretation and Teaching Disciples

Chapter 2 Honglianshan SSE Speculation

When he woke up, Zhang Xing found that the sun outside the window had already slanted to the west, and there was no one at home, and they probably all went out.After sleeping, Zhang Xing felt a little hungry, so he walked to the kitchen, wanting to see what to eat.

As soon as he walked into the kitchen, Zhang Xing saw the earthen stove with some flames on it. There was a pot lid on it, as if there was something inside.Zhang Xing went up to remove the lid of the pot and saw the food steaming inside.Without thinking about it, Zhang Xing also knew that Mrs. Zhang didn't wake him up when he saw him sleeping soundly, but he was afraid that he would be hungry, so he put the food in the pot and heated it up so that he could eat when he woke up.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xing couldn't help but think of the woman who felt kind at the first meeting—Ms. Zhang! Thinking of her figure who worked hard for her children and her hair that was gradually turning white, she unconsciously connected with her own. The mother's figure slowly overlapped.The same identity, the same white hair, and the same figure of caring for the family made Zhang Xing feel a little stuck in his heart.

Wipe some wet eyes.Zhang Xing muttered to himself, "Little monkey, since I have accepted your body, your family is my family, and I will definitely take good care of them." After speaking, he picked up the food and started to eat.At the same time, I said silently in my heart, "Dad, Mom, take care! My son can no longer serve by your side!"

After eating, Zhang Xing thought for a while and planned to go to that person to ask about the situation in this world.When I walked out the door, I thought that when I said that paragraph in the kitchen just now, my heart seemed to lose something, and now I feel that my whole body is light.Although Zhang Xing was thinking about something, he didn't stop walking, turning left and right in the village.After a while, Zhang Xing walked out of the village and walked towards the mountain behind the village.

In the memory of the little monkey, Taoism prevails in the Middle East, and Taoism prevails.There are countless large and small countries in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and they all believe in Taoism as the state religion.The destination of Zhang Xing's trip is a Taoist temple on the mountain behind the village.There was no one in that Taoist temple before, but an old Taoist with white hair and youthful face suddenly came three years ago, and that Taoist settled in that Taoist temple.

The little monkey accidentally discovered that the Taoist didn't light a fire and cook, so he sat quietly in the Taoist temple, not eating or talking.As a modern person who has been bombarded by the Internet, when Zhang Xing saw the memory of the little monkey, he felt that this old way is not easy.Thinking that there are gods here, he guessed that the old Taoist was probably either a monk or a fairy.

Although I don't know why he chose to live in the back mountain of the village, but he is the only one who can answer his questions nearby.

Before he knew it, Zhang Xing walked to the foot of the back mountain. Looking up at the not-so-majestic back mountain, Zhang Xing couldn't help but think of the legend about the back mountain that he had learned from the little monkey. "At that time, the ancestors in this village had to hide everywhere in order to escape the persecution of the flood. In the end, the ancestors in the village were trapped on this mountain. Just when they were desperate, the temperature on the mountain suddenly rose, and a burst of red light appeared , I saw a red lotus indistinctly in the red light.

The moment the red light appeared, the flood disappeared, and then the red light disappeared.Later, the village lived under this mountain, and the villagers called this mountain "Honglian Mountain" in memory. "

Thinking of this, Zhang Xing felt that the old Taoist living here might be related to this legend.But this has nothing to do with Zhang Xing, he just wants to figure out his guess now.So Zhang Xing turned his gaze and saw the dilapidated Taoist temple on the mountainside.Seeing the goal of his trip, Zhang Xing withdrew his gaze and walked up the mountain again.

Looking at the collapsed wall, the faded pillars and the broken plaque in front of you.Zhang Xing raised his foot and walked in.Across the overgrown courtyard, Zhang Xing finally saw the person he wanted to see—a Taoist priest.

Sitting cross-legged under the statue of the Taoist ancestor of the Sanqing in the hall, an old Taoist with white hair and white hair sat cross-legged. Zhang Xing stopped three steps away from the old Taoist, and said loudly, "Son of the mountains, I am here to ask the Taoist priest for advice." After that, he bowed and cupped his hands to show respect.

After waiting for a while, the old man still sat motionless on the futon.Zhang Xing bowed again and said, "Boy from the mountains, I am here to ask the Taoist priest for advice, and I beg the Taoist priest to give me advice."

After waiting for a while, the old man still didn't move.Zhang Xing bowed for the third time to ask for advice, "Boy from the mountains, I am here to ask the Taoist priest for advice, and I beg the Taoist priest to give me advice."

This time the old man opened his eyes, and Zhang Xing only met him once, and felt a pair of vicissitudes of life staring at him.As if several centuries had passed, and several breaths had passed, Zhang Xing quickly looked away and looked down at the ground, at the same time affirming the extraordinaryness of the old man.

At this time, the old Taoist finally said, "Little benefactor, what do you want to ask for advice?"

Hearing the old Taoist speak, Zhang Xing hurriedly said, "Please ask the master, are there three emperors and five emperors in this world, whether there is a war of conferred gods, and whether there are heavenly courts and Jade Emperors." After speaking, he looked at the old Taoist.

"Well, the little benefactor knows a lot! Yes, there are indeed three emperors and five emperors in this world, there have also been wars of conferring gods, and there are also heavenly courts and Jade Emperors." Hearing what Zhang Xing said, the old man was a little surprised, but he still said.

I heard the old Taoist say that there were three emperors and five emperors, and a war of conferring gods took place.Zhang Xing was excited all of a sudden, but it didn't show on the surface.

Zhang Xing then asked, "Does the Taoist know how long has it been since the Conferred God War?"

"It's only a thousand years"

"Master Daoist, is it true?" "Naturally, the old Taoist saw it with his own eyes."

Zhang Xing was surprised when he heard the answer from the old Taoist. As a traveler, Zhang Xing knew the cruelty of conferring gods.Of course, some lucky people escaped.But in any case, it is not easy to get down from Fengshen or down.

And the old way's words also let Zhang Xing know that he is just at the end of the Conferred God and the time when Journey to the West has not yet started.Knowing the time, Zhang Xing is ready to make a plan to seek some benefits for himself.

But now there is another problem, I am just a mortal now, with no cultivation base, no matter how many plans I have, it is useless.And it is a good choice to cultivate as a teacher.

"Journey to the West hasn't started yet, so you can go to worship Bodhi Patriarch with Monkey King as your teacher. But I don't know how much time is left before Journey to the West. If it takes a few hundred years, I will die already. There is another reason, although I know that Monkey King is here On Huaguo Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou, but I don’t know where it is? So after thinking about it for a while, Zhang Xing gave up this idea.”

"Although the old Taoist in front of me doesn't know his identity and cultivation level, but according to what he said, he has experienced the Conferred God War, so his cultivation level is not bad, and it is not bad to worship him as a teacher. At that time, relying on his knowledge of the direction of history, You can still live comfortably."

These are long to write, but only a moment to think about.Zhang Xing thought of a way out.

"After listening to the Taoist priest's words, the boy knows that the Taoist priest has strong mana and wants to worship the Taoist priest as his teacher, and ask the Taoist priest to complete him." Zhang Xing kowtowed and said
The old Taoist shook his head, "Little benefactor, you and I are not destined to be mentors and apprentices, so I won't accept you."

Hearing the old Taoist's refusal, Zhang Xing kowtowed again and said, "The boy wants to worship the Taoist priest as his teacher, please ask the Taoist priest to help him."

The old Taoist sighed and shook his head, "That's all, that's all. It's fate that you and I met once, so I'll pass on a method to you!" As he spoke, a golden light shot towards Zhang Xing's forehead.

It feels like something is stuck in my head.Zhang Xing, who had experienced it once, closed his eyes and accepted the knowledge passed on to him by the old Taoist.Just when Zhang Xing closed his eyes, the old man waved his hand, and Zhang Xing's body appeared at the foot of Honglian Mountain.

After accepting the knowledge in his head, Zhang Xing found himself at the foot of the mountain, and he was not surprised, so he bowed three times in the direction of the Taoist temple, then turned around and walked to the village.

When Zhang Xing left, the old Taoist in the Taoist temple was looking at his back and muttering to himself, "Interesting boy, I can't see your future clearly. I don't know what your future is like?"

When Zhang Xing stepped into the house again, he found that his family members had returned.When Mrs. Zhang saw Zhang Xing who had just returned, she asked, "Son, why don't you rest at home? What should you do if you get injured again?"

Hearing Mrs. Zhang's blame, Zhang Xing smiled, "Mother, am I okay? I'm lying at home feeling uncomfortable, so I went for a walk."

After speaking, he walked around Mrs. Zhang and walked towards his younger sister Yun'er who rushed out after hearing the voice, "Come on, Yun'er, let's see what this is?" After speaking, he took out the hand hidden behind his back.

"Wow! What a cute rabbit!" Yun'er ran to Zhang Xing's hand after speaking, looking at the little rabbit in Zhang Xing's hand.

"You can play with it if you like it?" Zhang Xing stretched his hand forward looking at his happy sister.

"Well, brother, you are so kind." After speaking, he took the rabbit from Zhang Xing's hand.

"Mother, let's go, let's go into the house! I have something to talk to my father and you." Zhang Xing turned his head and said to Zhang Shi
Hearing that his son had something to say, Mrs. Zhang didn't ask any more questions, so she nodded and followed her son into the house.

As soon as Zhang Xing entered the room, he saw his father, Zhang Peng, grooming the furs of some animals. When Mrs. Zhang came in, he said, "Father, mother, I'm 12 years old, so I should have a name."

Zhang Peng and Mrs. Zhang looked at each other, feeling a little strange about his son's words, but after thinking about it, Zhang Peng still said, "Well, it's time to choose a name. How about calling it Zhang Hua?"

Zhang Xing shook his head and said, "Father, I have heard a saying that even a piece of mud has the right to look up at the starry sky. A stone standing on the highest peak is also a star." Father, what do you think of the name Zhang Xing?"

"Zhang Xing, Zhang Xing." Zhang Peng read a few words and said to his son, "If you like it, use this name!"

"Well, I think my son's name is pretty good, so I'll call him Zhang Xing." Mrs. Zhang also agreed.

Hearing this, Zhang Xing was also relieved. After all, he had used the name Zhang Xing for 20 years and asked him to change his name.

After Zhang Xing confirmed the name, nothing happened.After having dinner with his family, Zhang Xing returned to his room and sorted out the knowledge passed on to him by the old master.
