Chapter 209: I won’t take this sutra!
The team moves forward.
Wukong still adheres to the idea of taking disciples to strengthen his strength and spreading the concept of harmony between hemale and demon. As long as he encounters monsters with plastic talent along the way, he can't help but want to take them under his command.
in this way.
Their team of seeking scriptures has become a bit large.
Every day, Wukong will teach them to practice and spread their own path.
Xuanzang watched silently while chanting his own sutra.
On this day, they walked to Huangfengling.
This place is filled with yellow sand, covering the sky, and a strange aura is filled with the air.
Wukong frowned, and his intuition told him that there must be monsters here.
He asked Bajie, Bailong and other disciples to protect Xuanzang tightly, and he jumped into a golden light and flew towards the source of the demonic aura.
As expected.
He soon learned that there was a demon king here, named Huangfeng Dasheng.
He found Huangfeng Dasheng Cave Palace.
He waved the golden cudgel and smashed the cave door with a loud bang and dust flying.
Huang Feng Dasheng was furious and asked Wukong why he was like this.
Wukong didn't say much, and knocked him out with a stick, then carried Huang Feng Dasheng and returned to the team.
This is what he has done along the way.
At first he tried to accept disciples first with words.
But later I found out that this was a waste of time.
It’s better to knock it out with a stick first and then take it back, so that others will see the gap first.
It is easier to agree to take him as his teacher.
And Wukong's move has been tried and tested many times.
Xuanzang's eyes fell on the Great Sage Huang Feng on Wukong's shoulder, frowned slightly, and asked:
"Wukong, is this the monster that stirred up the yellow wind?"
Wukong put Huang Feng Dasheng heavily on the ground, clapped his hands, grinned, and said, "It's this guy. When he woke up, I will accept him as his disciple and let him follow us to Lingshan, which can be regarded as a chance to reform."
Xuanzang looked at the unconscious Huang Feng Sheng on the ground and opened his mouth, trying to say something, but he swallowed it back.
In his heart, he had already developed deep doubts about Wukong's behavior of taking disciples indiscriminately, and he didn't understand what the meaning of this was.
But when he looked at Wukong's confident appearance, he thought that Wukong's original intention of accepting disciples was to strengthen the team and eliminate demons, so he still didn't say it.
After a moment of silence, Xuanzang sighed slightly, folded his hands together, and said softly:
"Forget it, Wukong, I hope you have a clear idea. If this monster really repents sincerely and seeks the scriptures with us, it would be a good thing.
However, everything needs to be based on good thoughts and should not be too forced. ”
After hearing Xuanzang's words, Wukong nodded and said:
"Don't worry! My old man understands it in his heart. When this monster wakes up, I will teach him well and let him understand the difference between good and evil."
After saying that, Wukong sat down aside, waiting for the Great Sage Huang Feng to wake up and prepare to accept him as his disciple, and the team to obtain scriptures also took a break here.
Not long after, Huang Feng Dasheng woke up slowly. He felt a sharp pain in his head. The scene in front of him gradually became clear. He found that he was surrounded by a group of people, and the monkey who knocked him out was staring at him with bright eyes.
Huang Feng Dasheng was shocked and was about to struggle to get up to resist, but found that he was exhausted and could not use any strength at all.
Wukong grinned and said:
"Awaken? You evil beast, now I will give you a chance to take me as your teacher and go to Lingshan with us to redeem your sins. I will spare your previous evil deeds."
After hearing what Wukong said, Huang Feng gritted his teeth and forced himself to say:
"Hmph, do you want me to take you as your teacher? Dream! How could I, the Great Sage of Huang Feng, submit to you, the monkey splashing!"
Wukong frowned, and was about to speak out to teach the Great Sage Huang Feng a lesson. Suddenly, auspicious light flashed, and Lingji Bodhisattva slowly descended with a flying dragon stick in his hand and stepped on auspicious clouds.
Bodhisattva Lingji nodded slightly and said:
"Wukong, wait. This Great Sage Huang Feng was originally my disciple, but because he went astray for a moment, he went down to earth and secretly caused trouble. Please let him go because of my sage."
Wukong was slightly stunned, looked at Lingji Bodhisattva in surprise, then looked at the smug Huang Feng Dasheng, scratched his head, and said:
"Bodhisattva, I, Lao Sun, don't know that he is your disciple. It's just that he is doing evil here that I subdued him and wanted to accept him as his disciple and let him turn his back on evil."
Lingji Bodhisattva nodded with a smile and said:
"Wukong, I understand your intentions. But I will bring this evil disciple back to strictly discipline him, and I will definitely not let him harm the world again.
When he reforms in the future, he will contribute to the pursuit of the scriptures. ”
After hearing the words of Lingji Bodhisattva, Wukong frowned slightly:
"Bodhisattva, although he is your disciple, I, Lao Sun, respect your identity. But he committed many sins in this Huangfengling in the past, causing the people nearby to suffer.
I don’t understand, why didn’t you appear earlier to subdue him or stop him from doing evil? Instead, he let him do whatever he wants here. Until today, Lao Sun subdued him, you didn't appear? ”
Bodhisattva Lingji looked calm, his hands folded, sighed slightly, and said:
"Wukong, I don't know anything about what he does. But everything in this world has its own cause and effect. His descending to earth to cause disaster is also the disaster he deserves.
If the monk intervenes too early, it will ruin this causal cycle. ”
Wukong curled his lips and said with some dissatisfaction:
"Cause and effect cycle? But what are the mistakes of those innocent people suffering? Just because of their calamity, they have to endure these sufferings?"
Lingji Bodhisattva looked at Wukong with gentle eyes and said:
"Wukong, you hate evil in your heart and want to protect the people's will. But not all the sufferings in this world can be easily eliminated.
The great sage Huang Feng does evil here, which is the evil cause he planted. Now that you are subdued, it is the result he should bear. The reason why I appeared at this time was to allow him to repent in time and not to continue to sink. ”
After hearing the explanation of Lingji Bodhisattva, Wukong opened his eyes wide:
"What a crooked truth! Those innocent people suffer for no reason, their families are destroyed, and their homes are displaced. How can they be explained by a cycle of cause and effect?"
Wukong paused, pointed at the Great Sage Huang Feng lying on the ground, and continued:
"If he committed such a sin, how could he have caused so many people to suffer if you had disciplined him a little before? Now you say this is his disaster, what is the suffering of the people?"
Lingji Bodhisattva still looked calm and wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Wukong's wave.
Wukong took a step forward, stared at Lingji Bodhisattva firmly, and said loudly:
"Bodhisattva, if you feel that you cannot educate him well, then let me come! Although I, Lao Sun, don't understand the profound cause and effect of Buddhism, I know that if you make a mistake, you will be punished and correct it!
I have confidence that he can truly realize his mistakes and stop doing evil! ”
After saying that, Wukong hugged his arms and looked straight at Lingji Bodhisattva, waiting for the other party's response.
At this time, he exuded a powerful aura all over his body, as if as long as Lingji Bodhisattva disagreed, he would immediately confront the other party to the end. Xuanzang, who was standing beside him, sighed slightly when he saw Wukong so excited, folded his hands together, walked up to him and said softly:
"Wukong, you must not be rude to Bodhisattvas. Bodhisattvas have their own considerations, and we should respect them."
Wukong stared at Xuanzang in disbelief.
He took a step forward, approached Xuanzang, and asked loudly:
"You also think his words make sense? Do those people deserve to suffer this unpredictable disaster?"
"You usually say that we should have good thoughts and save all sentient beings. But now these people are deeply harmed by the Huangfeng Monster, their families are destroyed and their people are displaced. Is this a good thing?"
Wukong's eyes were burning, "What are they guilty of? Why should they pay for the disaster of this monster?"
Xuanzang looked at Wukong with helplessness and compassion in his eyes.
He folded his hands together, sighed slightly, and said:
"Wukong, I don't think that the people are worthy of suffering. It's just that what the Bodhisattva said has its own profound meaning.
This worldly causal cycle is complicated and we may not be able to fully understand it. But I believe that the Bodhisattva will not sit idly by and there will be his arrangements. ”
"Arrangement? What arrangement?"
Wukong interrupted Xuanzang,
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"Is the suffering of the people the so-called arrangement? I, Lao Sun, don't understand any profound Buddhist teachings. I only know that seeing innocent people suffer but standing by, this is not what we should do!"
Xuanzang shook his head slightly and said:
"Wukong, I understand your intention. But isn't our purpose of obtaining the scriptures to resolve worldly suffering and spread the wisdom of Buddhism?
Perhaps, this is also a test, testing our compassion and testing our belief in Buddhism. ”
Wukong could no longer suppress the anger in his heart as he listened to Xuanzang's words:
"If the test is like this, then it's okay if you don't learn this Dharma!"
His voice exploded like thunder and echoed above Huangfeng Ridge.
"My old man originally thought that this Buddhism was to save suffering and to save suffering, to prevent suffering in the world from suffering. But now seeing these innocent people suffering, what are you using the cycle of cause and effect and the test of Buddhism to swear me!"
"I only see the pain of the people, but I can't see the compassion of Buddhism!"
"Wukong, don't be impulsive."
Xuanzang said,
"The true meaning of Buddhism is not something we can fully understand at this moment. But I firmly believe that the sufferings in this world will eventually be resolved."
"Hmph!"
Wukong snorted coldly and turned his head away.
"I don't care about the truth, I only know that I can't watch those people suffer in vain. If this is the price of learning Buddhism, I would rather not have this Buddhism!"
Lingji Bodhisattva kept watching all this quietly, and finally spoke, his tone was calm and gentle:
"Wukong, I see the kindness in your heart. But the things in this world are not either black or white. The disasters of Huang Feng and the sufferings of the people are all part of the cause and effect in this world.
I took him away today, even if I wanted to make him reform and repay this cause and effect. ”
Goku sneered.
"Old Sun, I can see that you Buddhists are all incompetent people!"
"You always talk about the cycle of cause and effect, and the Dharma is boundless, but where are you when the people suffer? You have no ability to overcome difficulties and solve problems, but just teach people to escape!"
"I don't learn this Buddhist teachings anymore! It's better not to learn this sutra! I have to rely on my own strength to protect those innocent people and to prevent suffering in this world!"
Xuanzang and Lingji Bodhisattva were stunned.
Xuanzang said:
"Wukong, don't say such a foolish word. The compassion and wisdom of Buddhism require us to understand it in our lifetime."
Lingji Bodhisattva still maintained a calm expression.
He clasped his hands together and said slowly:
"Wukong, I understand your anger at this moment, but Buddhism is not as incompetent as you said. All suffering in this world have its roots, and Buddhism is to explore the roots and resolve suffering."
"Hmph, don't use these words to coax me!"
Wukong interrupted Lingji Bodhisattva impatiently,
"I only believe what I saw with my own eyes."
Wukong inserted the golden cudgel hard on the ground, and the ground was trembling.
He turned his back to everyone and said:
"From today, my old son will no longer be a member of this team of seeking scriptures. I have to find the right way to do what I think is right!"
"Advisors, come with me!"
After Wukong said that, he walked forward with great strides. The disciples looked at each other and looked at Wukong's firm back. After hesitating for a moment, they followed one after another.
They walked neatly, followed Wukong and soon disappeared into the distance.
Xuanzang widened his eyes and opened his mouth, a little unbelievable. He thought that Wukong was so decisive.
Bodhisattva Lingji was also slightly stunned, and a hint of surprise appeared on his originally calm face.
After a while, Lingji Bodhisattva realized. He looked at the direction of Wukong's departure and shouted loudly:
"Wukong, Huang Feng Monster is back! He is my disciple, I will discipline him!"
Wukong paused, but did not turn around, but his voice came back loudly:
"Since you can't teach him well, let him do something bad to the world in Huangfengling and cause the people to suffer. I will teach him on your behalf! I want to see if I can turn him back to justice!"
After saying that, Wukong waved his sleeves and accelerated his apprentices, and his figure gradually disappeared into the wind and sand.
Bodhisattva Lingji looked at the direction of Wukong's departure, thinking to himself that he had the intention to stop Wukong and retake the Great Sage of Huangfeng.
After all, Huang Feng Monster is his disciple.
But when he saw the momentum emitting all over Wukong when he saw Wukong's departure and remembered Wukong's experience, Lingji Bodhisattva knew in his heart that he might be no match for Wukong.
If you take action rashly, you may not only not only not be able to retake Huang Feng Da Sheng, but it will also trigger an unnecessary battle and add more trouble.
Thinking of this, Lingji Bodhisattva showed a helpless expression.
He looked at Xuanzang again:
"Master Xuanzang, Wukong is strong in nature. Now that he has decided, I am not convenient for me to stop him.
I went to Lingshan and told the Buddha about this matter. I hope the master can set out on the road alone first. I will handle this matter as soon as possible and try to help you continue to learn from the scriptures. ”
After hearing the words of Lingji Bodhisattva, Xuanzang was slightly stunned, then nodded and said:
"Everything will be based on what the Bodhisattva said."
Lingji Bodhisattva clasped his hands together and said:
"The master needs to be more careful along the way. If there is danger, you can recite the Buddha's name sincerely, and I will be able to sense it."
After saying that, Lingji Bodhisattva stepped on the auspicious clouds and flew towards the direction of Lingshan.
