Chapter 193: Lingshan seeks the scriptures, Heavenly Court takes the way
Wukong drove the somersault clouds and rushed towards Fangcun Mountain.
After a while, he came to the familiar foothills of Fangcun Mountain.
Wukong raised his legs and walked up the mountain.
"Master, disciple Wukong asks for a visit!"
Wukong stood in front of the three-star cave of the silence moon and shouted respectfully.
The cave door slowly opened, Wukong walked in, came to a Taoist temple, and found his master.
Lin Yuan looked at Wukong with a sad face, smiled slightly, and said, "Wukong, what else can I find?"
Wukong quickly knelt down and put the matter in a hurry. The causes and consequences told Lin Yuan in detail.
Lin Yuan listened quietly, pondered for a moment and said: "Wukong, the barriers between humans and demons have been around for a long time, and they can't be eliminated overnight. People's hearts are prone to fear and prejudice, and their demonic nature is so perverse and unpredictable. , it is not easy to reconcile."
Wukong raised his head:
"Master, is there a solution? The disciple really doesn't want to see people and demons hate each other and fight each other."
Lin Yuan looked into the distance and said slowly:
"Everything in this world is all about a fate. Don't be anxious about success, you need to make long-term plans. Perhaps, you can start with small opportunities and let people gradually let go of their guards and build trust in daily life with the demon. .”
"But how to find these opportunities?"
Wukong asked. Lin Yuan nodded slightly: "For example, you can choose some gentle and kind monsters to help humans solve some practical difficulties, without asking for rewards, just treat each other sincerely.
< br>At the same time, you can also arrange some knowledgeable people among human beings to understand the lives of monsters and know that they are not all evil. By repeating this way, you may slowly resolve each other's hostility."
Wukong looked helpless and said to Lin Yuan with a wry smile: "Master, my disciples have tried all the things you said. Those monsters followed the instructions and sincerely helped humans, but when they saw it, they When they got to the monster, they didn't listen to any explanation at all, and they shouted and called for a fight and killed.
Even the most gentle and kind monsters on weekdays and never hurt people, they are all evil people in their eyes." "There are also those humans who were invited to learn about the life of monsters. They were originally selected with knowledge, but when they arrived at the place where monsters lived, they were so scared that their faces were pale and they just wanted to leave quickly.
No matter how carefully the monsters show their lives, they think it is a conspiracy."
As Wukong said, his mood becoming more and more excited, and his voice unconsciously increased a little. "The disciple originally thought that as long as the two sides had contact, they could slowly eliminate misunderstandings. But now it seems that this gap is like an unknowable gap, bottomless."
< br>Wukong's eyes were full of confusion and loss, "Master, can't we really live in peace among the humans?"
Lin Yuan was slightly silent.
"There is indeed another way to be a teacher."
"But this method requires a lot of effort and has many difficulties and obstacles."
Wukong said:
" Master said that the disciples are not afraid of difficulties! "
Lin Yuan's eyes were deep, looking at the mountains and rivers outside the cave, and said slowly,
"There are true scriptures in Lingshan that can teach sentient beings and reduce hostility. The heavenly court has a kingly way, which can restrain the world and make the system orderly.
If you have the heart, you can go to Lingshan and Heavenly Court to seek the true scriptures and the kingly way. "
A little surprise flashed in Wukong's eyes, and then he was full of doubt: "Master, what is this true scripture and the kingly way?"
Lin Yuan's expression was peaceful, Patiently explained:
"The so-called true scriptures are not just a few volumes of scriptures. They are the condensation of Buddhist wisdom, which contains profound insight into all things in the world and the good and evil of people's hearts, as well as methods to resolve anger and calm disputes.
Through study, The true scriptures can make people understand their nature, let go of obsessions and prejudice, and treat everything in the world with compassion and tolerance.
It transcends the limitations of words and is a kind of person that can penetrate into people's hearts and purify the soul. If power can be spread, it can invisibly reduce the hostility of sentient beings and make the heart calm."
Wukong thought something and then asked:
"Then What is the kingly way? ”
Lin Yuan said: "The kingly way is the norm and law for the heavenly court to govern the world. It is not a simple power and power pressure, but a kind of wisdom to balance the order of the world.
It clarifies the Levels and rules allow all things to perform their duties and positions.
Under the constraints of the kingly way, gods and immortals have the duties of gods and immortals, mortals have the duties of mortals, and evil spirits also have the rules they should abide by.
This is a kind of order norm that can make all things in the world live in harmony. With justice, fairness and openness as the cornerstone, the whole world will operate in an orderly manner."
Wukong was still confused: "Master, I don't understand. This true scripture and the kingly way sounds like it is not a real thing at all. How should I seek it?" Lin Yuan explained patiently "Wukong, the so-called seeking the true scriptures is to ask you to go to Lingshan, visit those eminent monks, listen to their teachings, and understand the true meaning of Buddhism.
In this process, You will meet all kinds of people and experience all kinds of things. From these experiences, you must experience the wisdom contained in the scriptures, integrate them into your heart, and then bring them back to the world to educate everyone. ”
"To seek the kingly way, you need to go to the heavenly court, communicate with all the gods and immortals, understand how they maintain the order of heaven and earth, and how to deal with the disputes in the world.
You must understand that the core of the kingly way is to govern the world with a kind heart. , restrain sentient beings with fair rules and make all things live in harmony. "
" Therefore, when seeking the kingly way of the scriptures, we cannot rely solely on supernatural powers, but on your feet to measure the land and use your eyes to Observe all kinds of things in the world and use your heart to feel and understand.
Every step must be sincere and every experience must be experienced with your heart. Only in this way can you truly seek the true scriptures and use them to Resolve the barriers between the shemale and the demons and make the world a better place."
Wukong frowned, as if he had understood something, but he seemed to have not understood something.
Finally, he seemed to understand Lin Yuan's deep meaning, knelt on one knee, and said firmly: "Master, don't worry, disciples must go on foot. No matter how many difficulties they have experienced, they must bring back the true scriptures and the kingly way."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes full of expectations:
"The journey here is long, and you will encounter many hardships.
The road to Lingshan, there are evil spirits who covet the true scriptures. , there will definitely be various obstacles. In the heavenly court, the hierarchy is very strict, and it is not easy to seek the kingly way.
But you must remember that the beliefs in your heart cannot be shaken. "
"Disciple understands. "Wukong stood up, "Disciple is going to set off now. "
"Hey, don't worry, disciple. "Lin Yuan reached out to stop Wukong.
Wukong looked at him in confusion.
Lin Yuan said: "It is difficult to complete this matter by relying on you alone. You need to find some assistants. Moreover, there are monsters and people in harmony."
"Stop ? ”
Wukong was confused.
Lin Yuan waved his hand and a scene suddenly appeared in the void in front of him.
There is a Taoist view on the picture.
The book on Wuzhuang Temple.
"You go to the Wuzhuang Temple in Wanshou Mountain and visit Zhenyuanzi. He will give you some help."
"Zhen Yuanzi in Wuzhuang Temple."
< br>Wukong whispered, then nodded:
"Disciple, remember."
Wukong took Lin Yuan's instructions and did not dare to delay for a moment. A somersault cloud turned towards the Wuzhuang Temple in Wanshou Mountain.
The somersault cloud was extremely fast and reached Wanshou Mountain in the blink of an eye.
Wukong fell down the clouds and looked up, but he saw the green mountains and green waters, and the mist of spiritual energy. What a beautiful place to visit. He strode towards Wuzhuang Temple, came to the front of the temple, clasped his fists and shouted loudly: "Sun Wukong of Huaguoshan, come to visit Zhenyuan Daxian!"
Soon, the gate of the observation door slowly opened, and an old man with fairy spirit and Taoist trampled out, which was Zhen Yuanzi.
Wukong saw him and recognized him as one of the people who appeared in the East China Sea, but Wukong didn't say much, but just maintained etiquette.
Zhen Yuanzi smiled and looked at Wukong and said, "Wukong, I already know your purpose. It's just that you are about to have a disaster. If you can't successfully pass it, I'm really not good. Give you help."
Wukong was puzzled in his heart, scratched his head and asked:
"Great Immortal, what kind of disaster is this? I have never known it." Zhen Yuanzi just smiled mysteriously and said: "You will naturally know if you go back to Huaguo Mountain to wait for a few days. "
While Wukong was puzzled, he could only act according to his words and drove the somersault cloud back to Huaguo Mountain again.
After returning to Huaguo Mountain, Wukong was full of this inexplicable disaster and was restless all day long.
A few days later, the originally clear sky suddenly became cloudy and a cold light flashed in the clouds.
Wukong's heart trembled, and he looked up and saw the heavenly soldiers and generals appearing layer by layer on the top of the clouds, with swords, guns, swords and halberds flashing cold light in the sun.
The leader was Li Jing, the king of Tota. He held the Linglong Pagoda with a majestic expression and shouted loudly: "Sun Wukong, you have refined the water veins privately, and violated the laws of heaven. Accept it quickly! "
Wukong saw this scene, and the tragic scene of those heavenly soldiers and generals killing all their monkeys and grandsons in the illusion, and he couldn't help but feel angry from his heart. The momentum of his body surged, and the golden cudgel had appeared in his hand.
But he looked at the lively monkeys beside him, and his heart became tight, and he was worried that these heavenly soldiers would harm the monkeys and grandsons.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and then dealt with King Li for the time being:
No mistakes are made, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one reading!
"King Li Tian, let me ask you, if I follow you to heaven, will you make things difficult for my children in Huaguo Mountain?"
King Li Tian frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and said after saying :
"As long as you submit, the Heavenly Court will not make things difficult for them." Wukong thought secretly in his heart. He had already planned to go to the Heavenly Court to seek the kingly way, but now this opportunity is coming.
So he put away the golden cudgel and said loudly:
"Okay, as long as it does not affect Huaguo Mountain, my old grandson is willing to go to heaven."
It just so happened that, too Look at what the kingly way of heaven looks like.
After saying that, Wukong jumped and fell into the heavenly soldiers and generals, but another hair fell down.
When the dark clouds dissipate.
The hair turns into Wukong's appearance and heads towards Fangcunshan.
Wukong, who was transformed from hair, walked rapidly and soon arrived at Fangcun Mountain.
Lin Yuan saw "Wukong" and asked:
"Wukong, why are you back? But what happened?"
"Wukong" hurriedly knelt down, about to meet the heavenly soldiers and generals in Huaguo Mountain, and his conversation with King Li Tianyi 151 Ten places inform Lin Yuan.
After hearing this, Lin Yuan said, "You can't avoid this disaster. It's just right. If you don't have a name or a surname, no one in the world will believe you."
"Let me take this opportunity to make a name for myself."
"Wukong" asked: "Master, what should I do?" Lin Yuan said: "Do as I wish." "Wukong" Slightly stunned.
Do it as you wish?
He repeatedly thought about the four words "do as you wish".
He raised his head and looked at Lin Yuan, his eyes full of exploration:
"Master, do this as you wish, but let me follow my own nature? The rules of the heavenly court Strictly, if I do whatever I want, I may cause a big disaster." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, and a gentle smile flashed in his eyes.
It is very rare that Wukong can clearly recognize this.
He said:
"Wukong, this is not to let you do whatever you want.
You are pure and have a desire for peace in your heart. It is your true heart.
When you go to heaven, don't be bound by the red tape and power pressure, and uphold your true heart to observe, understand, and act."
"If you encounter unfair things, don't be afraid of power. Use your ability and wisdom to fight and change. If you meet an immortal with good thoughts, you should humbly seek advice and explore the true meaning of the kingly way.
As long as you do not deviate from your original intention and act as you wish, you will have a chance."
"Wukong" thoughtfully and nodded slowly:
"Master, the disciple seems to understand . In this journey to heaven, I took my original heart as my guide and was not influenced by the outside world."
Lin Yuan nodded with relief:
"That's true. Although you go to the Heavenly Court, you are full of dangers, it is also a rare experience.
Although the kingdom is hidden in the rules and order of the Heavenly Court, it is also in every immortal who cares about the world. In the heart. You must feel it with your heart and dig it with your wisdom."
"Disciple remembered."
"Wukong" stood up, and the confusion in his eyes gradually faded.
He bowed to Lin Yuan, turned around and stepped out of the three-star cave of the slanting moon.
At this time, the real Wukong was escorted to the Heavenly Court by the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.
When he arrived at the Heavenly Court, Wukong was taken outside the Lingxiao Palace.
In the hall, the Jade Emperor sat high above the throne, with immortal officials standing on both sides, and the atmosphere was solemn and solemn.
Wukong was shocked when he saw that the Jade Emperor was one of the people who confronted his master on the water surface, but he quickly calmed down.
King Li Tian took a step forward and reported loudly:
"Your Majesty, Sun Wukong has brought it."
The Jade Emperor raised his eyes slightly, his eyes fell on Wukong, and his voice was majestic:
"Sun Wukong, you have refined the water veins privately, and violated the laws of heaven, Can you tell me the crime? "
Wukong raised his head and looked back at the Jade Emperor without fear, and said frankly: "Your Majesty, my old grandson admits that he was indeed a moment of greed at the beginning. I heard that There are magic weapons like Ruyi Golden Cudgel in the East China Dragon Palace, so I tried to refine the water veins.
At that time, I just wanted to find a handy weapon to protect the comprehensiveness of Huaguo Mountain. "
He glanced at the immortal officials in the hall and then said: "But when my old grandson went deep into it, he found that the water vein seemed to be suppressed by the Dinghai Dinghai Needle, but in fact it was a surging undercurrent.
The water from all over the world will move the whole body with one blow. If you are not careful, it will cause huge waves, and the creatures along the coast will be tragically damaged. "
Wukong looked firm and said with sarcastic words:
"Although my old grandson is born in a wild place, he also knows the sufferings of the people.
Since I have the ability to make the water veins completely stable, how can I stand by and watch? Now, if a strong person can carry the water veins of the four seas, then the four seas will be It will be completely stable and no longer have any worries of turmoil.
This is undoubtedly a great thing for the world. Although what I, Lao Sun, has selfish intentions, will benefit the people. What crime is there? ”
As soon as this said, the hall suddenly became uproar.
The immortal officials whispered and talked a lot.
Some showed a thoughtful look on their faces, as if they were weighing the pros and cons of Wukong's words, while others were full of anger and still accused Wukong of ignoring the Heavenly Order and acting without authorization.
The Jade Emperor frowned slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes:
"Even if you have the heart to protect the people, you should not act without permission. Heaven has its own laws, how can you tolerate you "
Wukong was angry in his heart and couldn't help but retort: "Your Majesty, what's the use of protecting the people of the world if the laws of this heaven cannot conform to the heavenly time and protecting the people of the world? The water vein was critical. When the Heavenly Court ordered the disposal step by step, I wonder how many creatures would die in the flood.
It is better to let a suitable person completely calm it down and refine it! "
At this time, the Supreme Laojun on the side walked out slowly and bowed: "Your Majesty, although Sun Wukong acted recklessly, his heart was commendable. Perhaps, he can give him a chance to redeem his sins. "
After hearing this, the immortals began to discuss fiercely again. Some agreed with the words of the Supreme Lord, believing that Wukong could be given a chance, while others firmly opposed it, believing that Wukong had no way of looking at the lawlessness and must Severe punishment.
The Jade Emperor looked at the Taishang Laojun with deep eyes and could not see anything.
After a long time.
He said: "I am not an unreasonable person. If you really have the heart to protect the people, I will arrange for you to do something. If you can do it well, I will spare you Death crime."
"Do you want to?"
Wukong heard the Jade Emperor's words and said loudly without hesitation:
"Even if you tell me, my old grandson will definitely convince you!"
