Chapter 182: Given the name of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, full of expectations, hurriedly stepped on the path of Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai.
The mountain breeze blows by, bringing a unique fresh atmosphere in the forest, but the Monkey King has no intention of enjoying this picturesque beauty. His thoughts are completely occupied by the excitement of seeing the immortal.
While walking, a melodious song came into his ears, and the singing was simple and free and easy: "Watch the chess, cut down the woods, and walk slowly at the entrance of the valley by the clouds. .Where we meet, we are either immortals or Taos, and we sit quietly and talk about the "Huangting". "
The Monkey King followed the sound and saw a woodcutter sitting leisurely under the tree to rest.
He hurried forward and bowed respectfully and asked: "Old brother, I just listened to your singing and was free and at ease. I guess there must be something extraordinary in this mountain. I don't know what I live in this mountain. Who is the sacred place? "
The woodcutter raised his eyes and looked at the Monkey King. Seeing that although he looked strange, he exuded a sense of agility, he smiled and said, " This mountain is called Lingtai Fangcun Mountain. There is a true immortal living on the mountain, known as the Holy Lord of Zhao. This Holy Lord of Zhao is powerful, has great powers, is well-rounded with the sky and the earth, knows about the past and the future, and has great skills! "
When the Monkey King heard this, his eyes instantly burst into surprise, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement: "Is such a powerful immortal?! Then I'm here to the right place!" >
After saying that, he eagerly asked the woodcutter about the path to the mountain, and then thanked the woodcutter and ran towards the top of the mountain without stopping.
After a while, the Monkey King came to a cave.
I saw the door of the cave open, with several vigorous and powerful words engraved next to it: "Silent Moon Three Star Cave".
The strokes seem to contain some mysterious power, which makes people unable to help but feel awe.
He raised his hand to tidy up his slightly messy clothes, patted off the stained dust, took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and then shouted loudly:
" Immortal! I am here to come to seek the Tao with all my heart. I beg the immortal to agree to me and listen to the teachings! "
However, only the gentle cry of birds in the forest was the silence, and no one answered.
The Monkey King was not discouraged and shouted several times in succession, his voice becoming louder and louder, more and more anticipated, but he was still like a rock sinking into the sea and received no reply.
Finally, he hesitated for a moment, a trace of firmness flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and strode into the cave.
Step out in one step, the scene in front of you instantly turned upside down, as if you had stepped into another world, with a different world.
The originally narrow field of view suddenly became extremely wide, the sky became bluer and the clouds were whiter, as if you could touch the soft clouds with your hand.
He walked along the winding path and came to a Taoist temple.
I saw a Taoist with fairy spirit sitting upright on the cushion, with a tall figure and extraordinary temperament.
This Taoist looked quite young and handsome, but his whole body exuded a peerless temperament, like a banished immortal descending from the nine heavens, showing extraordinary in his every move.
The Monkey King was slightly stunned.
The exiled immortal Taoist in front of me.
But it is different from the one in Huaguoshan who teaches him and guides him.
But the Monkey King didn't think much about it.
He just asked: "Dare you ask if it's the Saint Ancestor Zhao Hou?"
The Saint Ancestor Zhao Hou, who is Lin Yuan, narrowed his eyes and looked at the Monkey King.
"You monkey, come to my temple, what's wrong?"
The Monkey King knelt on his knees with a "thump" and kowtowed heavily, his forehead touching the ground, and his voice was heard. Full of desire:
"Immortals are here, please accept me as my disciple! I am a stone monkey from Huaguo Mountain. I am guided by another immortal to come here to learn the art of immortality, and I hope the immortals can accomplish it!"
However, Lin Yuan just glanced at him lightly, his eyes as calm as water, calm and calm: "The matter of taking disciples is not a joke, you can go back." After saying that, a gust of breeze When the Monkey King was blown up, he was sent out of the cave.
The Monkey King was unwilling to leave.
He knows.
If this Saint Ancestor Zhao Hou really won't give him a chance.
It was impossible to open a crack in the door and let him walk into the cave and approach him.
And
He was guided by another immortal.
How could this immortal really not give him a chance at all?
This must be a test too!
So he looked for a place outside the cave and knelt down straight.
It was midsummer at this time, the scorching sun was hanging high, and the hot sunlight was sprinkled unobstructed, making the ground hot.
But the Monkey King has been practicing for hundreds of years and has a strong body.
The normal high temperature will not make him do anything at all.
However.
The world in front of this cave seems to be particularly extraordinary, or he seems to have lost his magical body at this moment.
Just like an ordinary monkey.
His knee soon burned to the point of being burned by the heat of the ground, and sweat kept rolling down from his forehead, soaking the ground.
His hair was stuck together by sweat, and his face was covered with dust, but his eyes were extremely firm, staring at the hole door.
In the evening, a large cloud of dark clouds surged in the sky, and the raindrops as big as beans poured down, instantly pouring the Monkey King into a cool heart.
The rain flowed along his cheeks, and puddles quickly accumulated on the ground. His knees were soaked in mud, which was cold and painful, and his body began to tremble.
But the Monkey King still gritted his teeth and persevered. The strong wind whistled, making him almost shaking, but he still persevered.
When night fell, the roars of various beasts came from the mountains and forests, and a gloomy aura spread out.
A hungry mountain wolf slowly approached, his eyes flashing with greedy light, wandering around the Monkey King.
The Monkey King glared at him and showed his courage as the King of Huaguoshan.
The mountain wolf seemed to be shocked by the momentum on his body and finally left quietly.
In this way, the Monkey King knelt outside the cave day after day.
If he hadn't been strong in physique, he would have fainted long ago.
But even so, his body became weaker and weaker, his lips were chapped, and his throat was so thirsty that he almost smoked. After all, in this process, he did not swallow the essence of the sun and the moon.
It is just a hard support with the tenacious will.
Nearly two months have passed, and the Holy Lord Zhao finally appeared at the entrance of the cave.
He looked at the embarrassing but firm Monkey King in front of him.
"Why are you so persistent?"
The Monkey King raised his head weakly: "I am seeking the Tao wholeheartedly, eager to get rid of the cycle of life and death, learn real skills, protect the Huaguo Mountain, and protect my monkey group. Only practicing Taoism in this world can enable me to realize my wishes. , beg the immortal to give me a chance."
Lin Yuan stared at him quietly, and after a long time, he slowly said:
"Your desire for Tao is rare and precious. Get up, from today You are my registered disciple."
When the Monkey King heard this, his eyes instantly moistened, and tears burst out from his eyes.
He used all his last strength and kowtowed three times: "Thank you, Immortal!" "The Monkey King, no, at this moment he has become a registered disciple under the Holy Lord Zhao, Holding onto the weak body, slowly stand up.
Lin Yuan's eyes were calm and he could not see through his thoughts.
He raised his hand slightly and pointed at him. The light of inspiration bloomed and penetrated into the Monkey King's eyebrows, which immediately made his breath recover quickly.
The Monkey King thanked him, and Lin Yuan said again: "As soon as you have joined my disciple, I will give you the Dharma name. Your body is despicable, like a monkey, and I will take one from this monkey. The character '
The word '南' is left next to the beast, and the character hu is left. Hu is the ancient moon, and the old Yin cannot be cultivated. Then use the word '南' and left next to the beast.
'Sun' is very good, and a son is a son and a man, which is exactly the basis of a baby."
Lin Yuan spoke slowly:
"You will call Sun Wukong in the future."
Sun Wukong heard this brand new name, and indescribable excitement surged in his heart.
This name is the new starting point of his journey to seeking Tao and the symbol of his entry into the immortal path.
He trembled his lips and wanted to say something, but he was speechless because he was too excited.
The tears in the eyes broke through the dam again, flowing freely along the dust and tired cheeks.
"Wukong, Wukong"
He murmured to himself, repeatedly chanting his new name. Every time he recited it, he felt even more joyful and even cried with joy.
Then, he knelt on the ground again with a "plop". This time, the sound of kowtow was particularly loud, as if he wanted to incorporate his full gratitude and respect into these sounds. "Master is here, please accept the three prayers of my disciples! From now on, I, Sun Wukong, will follow my master's teachings and practice hard, and live up to the master's grace of taking in and giving a name!"
< br>Sun Wukong's voice was extremely firm, echoing in this quiet forest for a long time.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself:
'Which step did this monkey make a mistake? Why do you look like a crying person? ’
Under normal circumstances.
Shouldn't he be jumping on and down excitedly?
Hmm.
Original trajectory.
Wukong seemed to have gone to Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai. After asking questions, Master Bodhi took him away directly, but he did not have the previous one who refused to become a disciple.
But here, I suffered a lot.
On the surface, Lin Yuan just nodded slightly, with a hint of relief on his face.
He waved his sleeves and said:
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
"Wukong, get up. Once you enter our door, you must abide by the rules of our door. From today on, you will live with your senior brothers and slowly become familiar with everything in the mountains."
Sun Wukong quickly stood up and responded "Yes".
He looked around and felt that everything had become different.
The once unattainable immortal mountain has now become the place for him to practice, and the immortal who was once difficult to see has now become his master.
His heart was full of longing, imagining that he had learned extraordinary skills in the future, returning to Huaguo Mountain, making all monkeys proud of him, imagining that he could transcend life and death, and no longer fear the unknown fate.
He followed Lin Yuan's guidance and walked into the depths of the Taoist temple.
Along the way, he looked at everything around him curiously, with pavilions and towers arranged in an orderly manner, with strange flowers and plants fragrant, and his senior brothers came and went, either practicing with swords or meditating.
He secretly made up his mind to work harder than everyone else, to break out his own world in this fairy mountain, so that the name "Sun Wukong" can resound in the sky in the three realms.
However.
At first, Sun Wukong was looking forward to learning profound magic. But what he unexpectedly was that the Holy Lord Zhao did not teach him any specific methods, but just taught him how to clean up and deal with it, and move forward and backward.
Sun Wukong was full of doubts, but he did not dare to go against his master's order, so he could only accept it silently.
When he arrived outside the door, he worshipped Senior Brother Duzhong and arranged a bedside room between the corridors.
The next morning, I learned polite words with my senior brothers, preached the scriptures and talked about the Tao, and practiced calligraphy and burned incense. This is how it is done every day.
When you are free, you will sweep the floor and hoe the garden, raise flowers and repair trees, search for firewood and burn fire, and carry water and transport slurry.
Everything used is prepared.
After a period of time.
Lin Yuan asked Wukong to go to the library to find him.
Wukong arrived, Lin Yuan said:
"Are you dissatisfied with me only passing on some etiquette rules for you and not teaching you how to practice?"
Wukong quickly shook his head: "Disciple doesn't dare."
Lin Yuan stopped talking, but took out a scroll and spread it out.
It was a picture of a hungry man.
Poems written by the corner of the painting:
"The wine and meat in the rich family smell bad, and there are frozen bones on the road."
Lin Yuan brushed his fingertips across the curled-up child in the painting:
"Wukong , What if this child is your monkey cub in Huaguo Mountain? "
Wukong pointed at the gentry in the painting:
"Take his granary! Peel his brocade robe! Tie this guy to kneel in the snow and teach him how to taste frozen bones!" Lin Yuan nodded slightly, but blood suddenly oozed out of the paper in front of him. , the young child turned into bones: "What if you were half a step late and only saved this wreckage?"
Wukong said:
" Then it was lifted up Hall of Yama! But... I heard that mortals will enter the cycle of reincarnation when they die..."
Lin Yuan tore off a page in the painting, folded it into a ferry and put it in a tea bowl.
There seemed to be many gentry and high-ranking officials on the ferry. "Look at this boat--"
Then I saw the ferry sinking, and a piece of golden sand appeared at the bottom of the bowl.
"If these rich people die, their money will sink into the water and cannot be used in practice. In this case, will you save them?"
Wukong picked up the wet paper boat: "Save! Why not save?! Isn't it better if I save someone and rob the rich and help the poor?" Lin Yuan said:
"What if this 'rich' is also a miserable person? Their money is a life-saving medicine for sick wives."
Wukong said:
"Then... then look for a fatter sheep! Anyway, there will always be ill-gotten gains in the world!" Lin Yuan smiled, suddenly stuffed the scroll into his arms, and then said:
Lin Yuan smiled and suddenly stuffed the scroll into his arms. > "Go down the mountain tomorrow, bring this scroll - if you encounter disasters, give a helping hand.
If your behavior is useful, you can get the method of immortality you want from the scroll. "
"If your behavior has not really helped anyone, then you are in vain."
Wukong was stunned, not expecting that he had just climbed the mountain and his master was going to let him go down the mountain.
Not waiting for him to speak.
Lin Yuan continued to speak: "Wukong, you are different from others. You are born with a natural fairy fetus, and you have extra opportunities to always maintain the purity. body. "
"Over the years, your body has actually accumulated a lot of foundation. With a little practice, you can achieve something."
"However."
Lin Yuan's eyes suddenly had a deep meaning:
"The power comes too easily, and it will inevitably change your mindset.
You are now Even with a kind heart, but after suddenly having the strength, can you ensure that you do not inflate because of this? "
" Teaching disciples for teachers has always been the leader in their state of mind. If their state of mind is not up to standard, even if their talents are No matter how good it is, the cultivation level will be higher in the end.
Even if you are a teacher, you will not admit that he is my disciple. "
Lin Yuan looked at Wukong: "In a sense, you are the most important disciple of your master. You don't want to see you go astray. "
"You can rob the rich and help the poor, punish evil and eliminate evil, and even if you find that the law of heaven is unfair, you can resist the law of heaven for the sake of life and re-establish order.
But my teacher doesn't want to see you just want to be happy for a while and ignore others. ”
"Wukong, have you remembered what you are like?"
Wukong was stunned, wondering why his master said this.
But he nodded and said, "Disciple, remember."
Lin Yuan nodded:
"I hope you really keep it in mind."
After saying that, he waved his hand:
"Go, I'll go down the mountain tomorrow."
"."
Wukong hugged Lin Yuan, said goodbye, and left here.
After he left, Lin Yuan turned around.
A golden pattern appeared between the eyebrows.
"If you give compassion, can you suppress your wildness? Or can you naturally let the two coexist?"
"The Monkey King. This word "Saint" is the word "Saint". , I hope you can really deserve your name."
