Chapter 739: Teaching the Monkey (I)
The Tao is natural, and you can live wherever you want.
Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Li Changshou lay on the rocking chair, feeling the warm sunshine, similar to the crane-haired childish face, with a little smile.
The great prosperity of the West has nothing to do with him, what does the birth of the golden cicada have to do with him?
Train the monkey well, and take the opportunity to bury some nails, and engage in a wave of Dao Ancestors and Heavenly Dao before the Journey to the West, no matter whether you win or lose, whether the Journey to the West is difficult to survive or not, it is meaningless.
Win the peace of the world, lose far away from chaos.
Having said that, Sun Wukong is indeed a natural powerhouse.
At this time, it happened to be the 100th day of Sun Wukong's ascent of the mountain, and today the front hall explained the scriptures, and this monkey was already able to sit still and listen to the lecture and carefully understand the meaning of the scriptures.
The performance is outstanding.
Speaking of doing things like teaching monkeys, in addition to creating an atmosphere of equality, freedom, and kindness for the Sanxing Cave of the Oblique Moon, Li Changshou didn't do much for the time being.
With more than ten years of tempering in the mundane world, Sun Wukong quickly got along with his brothers and sisters.
With Li Changshou's acquiescence, Sun Wukong has mastered the introductory cultivation method by virtue of the Dao method he learned from his senior brothers and sisters, and in just half a month, he has gone through a path that ordinary qi refiners may not be able to walk for ten or decades.
At this point, Li Changshou can't watch the play anymore, and must start taking over the guidance.
Otherwise, you will miss the 'golden hour' for the monkeys to become stronger.
He has many ways to open a small stove for monkeys, and when he explains the scriptures in the main hall today, he has solved this matter perfectly.
What did he do?
In fact, it's just homeopathic and gives the monkey a hint.
At that time, after Li Changshou finished preaching the Taoist scriptures and Taoism, he asked the disciples if there were any difficulties and uncertainty.
A few 'class representatives' disciples who performed well on weekdays opened their mouths and asked some regular scripture explanation questions, and Li Changshou answered them one by one.
After all, Wukong still couldn't hold back and took the initiative to ask a question.
"Master, hey, hey, Master is above, can the disciple inquire, the disciple is practicing the method of immortality now?"
Li Changshou replied expressionlessly: "There is no supreme law in the world, three thousand avenues, each avenue can enter the realm of immortality, relying on your chance and creation." ”
Where can't Wukong hear it, this is actually a perfunctory remark?
He hurriedly made a gesture, knelt on the futon and said:
"The disciple did not have the slightest intention of disobedience, and he did not dare to discuss the avenue.
It's just that the master, the disciple is dull, it has been more than ten years since this came out, and he has not been able to see the shadow of the immortal method of immortality.
If the master has the Fa, can you give the disciple a quasi-letter, and the disciple can feel at ease. ”
"What," Li Changshou frowned slightly, "Listen to the meaning of your words, if you don't have the method of immortality as a teacher, you will defect to another sect?"
"How dare the disciple, how dare the disciple," Wukong bowed and kowtowed, "The disciple didn't take any gifts, Master, you accepted the disciple, the disciple is not such a heartless creature!"
It's just, Master, that you ......
The disciple wants to know whether immortality is hopeless or hopeless in the future, if it is hopeless, the disciple will first go back to Huaguo Mountain to arrange monkeys and monkey grandchildren, and then come back to honor the master!"
Li Changshou said indifferently: "Do you know how old you are as a teacher?"
Wukong was stunned.
A senior brother on the side said with a smile:
"Senior brother, you are from the ordinary, and it is understandable that you don't know the name of our teacher.
The teacher is the power of the world, walking in the wilderness, being respected as an ancestor, and being shouted as a senior.
Although there are not many immortal immortals like you envy, when you see the teacher, you must also be respectful, and the teacher will disappear as soon as the teacher points to them. ”
Wukong's eyes lit up: "Oh?
"You!"
Li Changshou was really angry at this monkey head, and flicked his fingers at Wukong.
A few images suddenly appeared in front of Wukong's eyes, and he felt a faint, ancient Taoist rhyme, which had existed in heaven and earth for a long time.
The stone monkey no longer had any doubts, and knelt down again and again to confess his sins.
Li Changshou said: "Cultivation is not a competitive one, but a path for living beings to pursue the avenue.
Wukong, when you enter my door, you have already embarked on this road, and where you can go and where you can go depends on you to grasp.
Being a teacher can teach you how to practice, but it can't help you get through the bottleneck.
The teacher can teach you to feel the avenue, but he can't put this avenue in your arms.
Therefore, being a teacher will not say anything to you and to you about the realm of immortality, or how to live forever.
What you cultivate is the Tao, and what you are looking for should be the true self, return to the true self, be at ease, seek the true meaning in the emptiness, and explore the true self in the confusion.
You got it?"
All the disciples bowed their heads in unison and said yes, and Wukong also bowed his hands again and again.
Li Changshou continued:
"Now that I've said that, let's say a few more words.
Wukong, you have been in the beginner for 100 days, and you can be regarded as sincere and motivated, and you are a disciple in the eyes of the teacher.
Today, as a teacher, I will pass on your cultivation method, and you can also make your own choice. ”
Sun Wukong smiled: "Master, what you teach, the disciple will naturally learn." ”
"Don't be poor, and listen well. ”
Li Changshou said: "I have a method, called the way to solve emptiness, to understand the principle of emptiness, to correct the heart from time to time, to see the real in the illusory, and to understand the illusory in the real."
Do you want to learn?"
Wukong asked, "Master, how long does it take for this method to be immortal?"
Li Changshou said: "If you have a deep enough understanding, your cultivation is smooth, and you don't encounter bottlenecks, you may be able to live forever in five or six thousand years." ”
"It's too long, it's too long, and the disciple still thinks that he can help those old monkeys prolong their lives. ”
Li Changshou nodded, and said: "There is another way to be a teacher, which can illuminate the mind and increase longevity."
You only need to feel and think about it from time to time, and you can realize it for three or four thousand years, and if everything goes well, you can live forever. ”
"Too long, still too long!"
Sun Wukong's eyes were full of expectation, first he kept apologizing, and then asked: "Master, is there a way to live forever in tens of hundreds of years?"
Most of the disciples on both sides couldn't help laughing.
Some disciples couldn't help but say, "Even if you go to cultivate demonic skills, it is impossible for you to cultivate immortality in hundreds of years." ”
"Wukong, don't make the teacher angry......"
"Humph!"
Li Changshou changed his face on the spot, and said coldly: "Wukong, you are impetuous, looking forward to immortality, and come forward!"
Sun Wukong shuddered a few times, but still walked forward quickly and knelt in front of Li Changshou.
Li Changshou stood up, summoned a wooden whip casually, hit Sun Wukong's back three times, and reprimanded:
"Take this as a precept, and let it be realized!"
Subsequently, Li Changshou's figure quietly dissipated, leaving all the disciples to look at each other, and came over to count Sun Wukong for a while.
are all saying that Sun Wukong spoke disrespectfully and angered the teacher.
Sun Wukong is a hippie smile, and he has no shame.
On the contrary, they both ignore two issues.
First, the monkey said that he wanted to grow into an immortal quickly, and then go back to bring his own monkey monkey grandson to cultivate immortals happily, which is the meaning of a person's ascension to heaven, which is a taboo for qi refiners.
One is the tradition of the Fa that cannot be passed on lightly, and the other is that acting in this way will add many variables to the teacher, and maybe it will cause karma.
Second, when this group of disciples started, the teacher didn't ask them what method they wanted to practice, but just threw a copy of the practice method in their faces, and even gave different choices today.
Tsk, the old discriminatory.
......
The night is deep, the people are quiet, and the life is resting.
In the three-star cave of the slanting moon, a figure swayed a little sneakily, and finally ran to the window of the 'high-end cave' where Li Changshou lived, and shouted softly:
"Master, Master~"
It is none other than Monkey King.
Seeing that there was no movement inside, Sun Wukong cautiously pushed open the window, crept in, knelt beside Li Changshou's bed, and kowtowed a few times without saying a word.
"Master, I don't know if that's what you mean, let the disciple come here to see you in the middle of the night. ”
"You're not stupid. ”
As he spoke, Li Changshou quietly opened the immortal power enchantment here, sat up from the bed, and looked at the monkey kneeling in front of the couch.
Sun Wukong also raised his head to look at him, his eyes were still so smart and clear.
Li Changshou said: "Get up, you don't have to be so polite in the future." ”
"Master Xie, Master Xie. ”
Sun Wukong said continuously.
He speaks quickly and likes to repeat short sentences for fear that others will not hear.
Li Changshou said: "Now that you have realized it, you can pass on the immortal method you want as a teacher."
But Wukong, before passing on your immortal law, the teacher will ask you a few questions first, and then make an appointment with you for three chapters, how about it. ”
"Disciples, all are up to you, Master. ”
"Good," Li Changshou smiled and stroked his beard, "First of all, the question of why you are cultivating, in addition to the sake of immortality and happiness, do you have any other ideas?"
Sun Wukong said: "The disciple doesn't have much thought, he just wants to learn the immortal method, so that the monkeys and monkeys can live forever." ”
Li Changshou asked gently: "Your monkey monkey grandchildren, are they very important to you?"
"The disciple has no father or mother, and he doesn't know what the seven emotions and six desires are. ”
Sun Wukong's expression was slightly depressed, but he pretended to be as happy as usual, "But those children respect their disciples as kings, and their disciples can't ignore them." ”
Li Changshou said: "Do you know that even if you bring back the Immortal Law, the vast majority of your clansmen can't even cultivate the Yuan Immortal." ”
"This ...... There will always be a chance, not a chance. ”
Sun Wukong smiled: "Master, have you ever been a king?"
"I haven't done it, how does it feel?"
"It's very comfortable. ”
"Hahaha!"
Li Changshou Fushu chuckled, "That's it, the teacher will give you some demon clan cultivation methods, but don't make a noise about this matter, and the things that you pass on to the teacher must not be easily spread." ”
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!"
"Get up," Li Changshou had an extra handful of dust in his hand, and with a sweep of the dust, Sun Wukong was already pushed onto the futon next to the bed and sat down.
Li Changshou did not hide his secrets, took out the exercises given by the Dao Ancestor, and led Sun Wukong to get started quickly and consolidate the Dao Foundation.
Really open a small stove.
This is actually one of the few opportunities for Li Changshou to have a close contact with the stone monkey, Li Changshou carefully observed the qualifications of the stone monkey, and soon felt like a mouthful of old vinegar.
This monkey has good qualifications that can make ordinary Golden Immortal Dao hearts collapse!
However, after all, the practice must be steady and steady, step by step, and the situation of opening a small stove like a monkey will become the norm in the future.
The three chapters of this covenant are also quite interesting.
Those are the few rules that Li Changshou asked Sun Wukong to follow - don't hurt your peers, don't show off your magical powers, and don't tell others anything about your own cultivation.
Sun Wukong understands that the exercises he was taught were not quite the same as the practice methods of his senior brothers and sisters.
And Sun Wukong also gave a soul torture:
"Master, why don't you teach such a wonderful method to your brothers and sisters together?"
Li Changshou groaned a few times and said, "Do you think it's a bit unfair like this?"
The disciple thinks...... It's a bit unfair. ”
"But you are the beneficiary of this injustice. ”
"That's still a bit unfair," Sun Wukong wondered, "Teacher, your exercises can't be specially tailored for disciples. ”
Li Changshou said with a smile: "This method was born before you were born, those who are not physically strong cannot practice, and those who are not full of primordial spirits cannot practice. ”
Only then did Sun Wukong accept this statement.
On the first night of opening Xiaozao, Sun Wukong officially started the road of cultivation, and since this night, this guy's cultivation has begun to run straight through the layers.
Which one is strong in cultivation, Hongjun in Zixiao Palace is busy!
As Li Changshou advised, Sun Wukong did not show off this matter to anyone.
This made Sun Wukong quite uncomfortable.
But for the sake of immortality, Sun Wukong could only hold back and endure it, and he would take advantage of the night to find Li Changshou every few days, and his cultivation realm rose rapidly, and there was no danger of overturning.
In this way, when the mountains are unconscious, there are no waves in the long years.
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than 60 years.
In the past 60 years, Li Changshou has taken the time to go out and travel once, looking for a place to shoot dozens of nails, which can be regarded as 'not forgetting the right business'.
Although Tiandao kept observing this place all the time, he was concerned about the monkey, not him, the Bodhi ancestor.
The wind and clouds in the world have stopped, the wind and waves are calm, and nothing major has happened.
Nanzhou is stable everywhere, and few people mention it hundreds of years ago, and most of them are criticized.
For example, Di Xin, who has been scolded as a great faint king in the mortal world at this moment, has also given the evil '纣', and placed one crime after another on this king.
And Di Xin's real situation at this time is to be an idle immortal god in the heavenly court, and he is happy with Daji.
Although I didn't win, it wasn't too much of a loss.
Heavenly Court is also developing steadily, and the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals have not expanded indefinitely, but have maintained it at a steady level as Li Changshou suggested.
Batches of elite soldiers and strong generals are better than indiscriminately filling the numbers.
The Three Thousand Worlds are generally stable, and the Lintian Temple and the Immortal Alliance have become the right-hand men of the Heavenly Court, assisting the Heavenly Court in managing the Three Thousand Worlds.
But the reputation of these two forces, in the mouth of the Qi Refiners, has gradually become 'stinky'.
It's unavoidable.
Order restricts individual freedom, and excessive freedom in turn overwhelms order.
For the beings of the Three Thousand Worlds, the Heavenly Temple and the Immortal Alliance represented order, and the Qi Refiners felt uncomfortable on them, and they would not give a good face.
Let's go back to Lingtai Mountain.
It's only sixty years since the monkey's cultivation reached the late stage of the True Immortal Realm.
Of course, the monkey didn't know what the true spirit was immortal at this time, but just followed the guidance of Li Changshou and stepped through one realm after another.
The latent spiritual power in his body had been induced, and he was stepping towards the immortal realm.
It's not just the Dao realm, the monkey has learned all kinds of fighting magic powers in the past sixty years, and the seventy-two changes are already considered to be a formal entry, let alone soaring clouds and fog.
When the monkey enters the country like this, it is inevitable that Fang Cun Mountain will ...... Two lemon trees were planted.
For example, today, before Li Changshou was about to open the altar to preach, a male disciple told him that Wukong's junior disciple had been in the house for a long time, but he still looked like a monkey and refused to transform into an innate Dao body.
Li Changshou just shook his head with a smile, watched Sun Wukong playing with several disciples in the mountains, and said slowly:
"It doesn't matter, he can choose his own path and path, and he can choose how to live.
In vain, your heart is not quiet. ”
The disciple looked ashamed, bowed his head, and hurriedly retired.
Li Changshou thought for a moment, pinched his fingers and calculated, and soon chuckled.
Hold it steady, and arrange for this male disciple to travel tomorrow to avoid any teaching accidents.
Teach the monkey, he is serious.
The final plot difficulty, I finally figured out how to deal with it......
