The Monkey King

A ray of breeze swept through, and under the starlight, Xuanzang's fiery red cassock was raised, and the surroundings were silent.

Twenty years of memories flashed by in a flash, all the hallucinations dissipated, and everything returned to normal.

The monkey stared at Xuanzang with slightly wide eyes.

"Anti-zhi... westbound?"

Xuanzang nodded silently, his hands clasped together: "It's not just against the decree, maybe, but against the sky. Without the customs clearance, without the support of the heavenly court, and without the promise of Lingshan, there will be no poverty even in the Great Leiyin Temple. The sutra that the monk wants to take, there is nothing, just you and me, and a heart that is half-pursuing all sentient beings."

"I'm the half?" The monkey laughed dumbly.

"Isn't it?" Xuanzang asked back with a smile.

The monkey wiped his face and let out a long sigh, then said softly, "Purdu, Duji... I understand, it's no wonder that I haven't seen the Bodhisattva, only the righteous Tathagata has come out. It turns out that Mahayana Buddhism has not yet appeared. I know about the specious "Journey to the West" that I co-authored, but instead of benefiting from it, I was misled. It's no wonder that the Buddha I know is completely different from the Buddha of this world..."

Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, and said, "Bodhisattva, Mahayana Buddhism? You have never seen these in your memory. What are they referring to? I heard you mention it a few times in "Journey to the West", but the poor monk has always been unclear. , can you elaborate?"

The monkey yawned lazily, pierced his ears and said, "What to say? Too lazy to say. Again, I don't want to leave here, I don't want to go anywhere. You should leave as soon as possible. What are you going to do? "

Saying that, the monkey turned his head away again and did not look at Xuanzang.

After a while, when he turned around again, he found that Xuanzang was still sitting there and staring at him with a smile on his face.

"Let's talk."

"What are you talking about?" said the monkey annoyed. "Do you really think I'll go west with you?"

Xuanzang sighed lightly and said, "It's not what the poor monk thinks. The poor monk has already said it. Let's talk about it. If everything is clarified, the donor is still unwilling to follow the poor monk to the west, and the poor monk will not force it. After all, The donor is immortal and immortal, but the poor monk is just a wandering monk. If you really waste thirty or fifty years here, then the donor will be willing. The poor monk will not be able to walk. It's gone."

After a slight pause, Xuanzang said sternly, "Time is more precious to poor monks than benefactors."

The monkey grinned, shook his head helplessly and said, "It's rare that you still have this consciousness, okay. How do you want to talk?"

Hearing this, Xuanzang smiled slightly and said sternly: "The merits of Purdue, the wonders of traveling to the west, the poor monk will not talk much about it. Presumably, the donor is not interested in it. Let's talk about why the donor does not go to the Wuxing Mountain. Why did you go out of the Five Elements Mountain, and what happened after you came out?"

The monkey looked at Xuanzang playfully with his arms on his back and said, "Okay. Say it."

He only heard Xuanzang coughing twice, rubbed his sleeves and looked straight ahead, and said slowly: "According to the poor monk's opinion, there are three reasons why the donor refuses to go out of the Five Elements Mountain. First, he is afraid of poverty. The monks lied to the donors. After all, the donors have a really bad impression of Buddhism. And the poor monks belong to the Buddhism. When the donor comes out of the mountain, it will inevitably be another battle of fiction and reality, the heaven and the earth will collapse, and all living beings will be affected. And the donor is not sure to win. Moreover, if the donor is always here, the people the donor cares about will naturally be safe and sound. If the donor comes out, it will be It increases their danger. The third thing is that the donor's heart is dead, so that..."

"I didn't understand the third one." Monkey stretched his voice.

After saying this, Xuanzang stopped immediately, was silent for a while, smiled, and continued with pursed lips: "The third, since the donor doesn't understand, let's not talk about it for the time being. It is up to the donor to judge on his own, presumably after the discussion is over, the donor also has a good idea. In this case, let’s talk about the second one first, may I not know?”

"Speak." Monkey rolled his eyes and said.

Xuanzang nodded slightly and said, "Let's talk about Tathagata Buddha first. Buddha's way of heaven is 'without self'. If he doesn't do things beyond his heart, no matter how tyrannical you are, even if you destroy this world, you will not be able to defeat him. This point, the donor should know better than the poor monk. In the whole world, the person who can defeat the 'selfless', if it was before, is the 33rd Heaven Supreme Laojun. But the Laojun Tiandao stone has been completely destroyed. , Even after another thousand years, I am afraid it will not be able to return to the original. In this way, there will be only one person in this world who can break the 'no-self'."

"Who?" The monkey turned his face slightly.

Seeing this, Xuanzang folded his hands together, and bowed with a smile that was not a smile, and said, "It's the poor monk."

"You?" Hearing this, the monkey sneered, turned his head and sighed leisurely: "I think you haven't woken up, even the Buddha's light is gone, you're 'no self'? Are you kidding me?"

"Don't you believe the donor?"

"What do you say?"

Xuanzang smiled again, took a deep breath and said: "Does the donor know, why did you gain and lose the Tao of 'Wuji' that day?"

"The heart is broken."

"What would happen if the Tathagata Buddha's mind was broken?"

The monkey was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time for him to recover. He turned around and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"The four major aspects of Buddhism are empty, but the Dharma is not empty. In this case, the Dharma is his Taoism." After speaking, Xuanzang spread his hands and said calmly: "And the poor monk can break his Taoism."

Hearing this, the monkey suddenly burst into laughter, and asked with half-squinted eyes, "How did you break it? Come and listen."

Xuanzang thought for a while, then turned his face to look at the monkey and said: "To become a Buddha, to abandon everything, the four elements are empty, only the Buddha Dharma remains. In this way, the Buddha is the Dharma, the Dharma, and the Buddha. In the war, the battle is not power, but 'knowledge', 'action', and in the final analysis, it is a battle of consciousness. If the 'law' that sticks to is defeated, then the Buddha will really become a rootless root. , lost the meaning of existence. The donor knows, how did the Buddha body of Jin Chanzi lose that day?"

The monkey's brows furrowed slightly. Some hesitantly said: "I remember it was Lingshan's debate. If you lost the battle, you lost. What? You want to say that if you want to fight the Tathagata again, you can win? If it is like this, it will be simple, I will carry you on my back. When you go to Lingshan and see the Tathagata, you will not need a single stick of incense. But can you really win? Don't when I come out, you lose again, and it will hurt others."

After all, the monkey looked at Xuanzang meaningfully.

I saw Xuanzang smiled. He waved his hands and said: "Why is it so easy. To debate the law, in addition to 'knowing', but also 'doing'. Therefore, traveling all the way to the west is called learning the scriptures, and it is actually the realization of the Tao."

"After talking for a long time, you still can't break the Tathagata's mind." The monkey hummed and said, "It's no problem for me to protect you. I can block anyone who comes, but what if the Tathagata came in person? It's not like you haven't seen the things that you have. He's here, but I can't save you. At that time, you'll be in a different place before you know the Tao. Who am I to cry for?"

Xuanzang didn't take it seriously after the call was finished. He raised his head and looked at the starry sky in the distance. He smiled lightly and sighed, "He won't come."

"How do you know that he won't come? If I am the Tathagata, you want to break my Dao heart, and I will kill you by three, five and two, without saying a word."

"If you were the Tathagata, the poor monk would have saved so many troubles." Xuanzang smiled, turned his face to look at the monkey and said, "He won't come. It's because he can't come."

"What's the meaning?"

"The poor monk has said before that the struggle for Buddhism is a struggle for consciousness." Staring at the monkey, Xuanzang said with a half-smile, "Why did he come? As you said, the poor monk wants to break his Taoism. But if he believes that the Dharma he holds is really higher than what the poor monk asks, the poor monk is just taking his own humiliation, so why should he care? If he makes a move, then... he will lose first before he fights. By then, even if the poor monk dies, the Tathagata's heart will have long been lost. I don't know, can this reason be approved by the donor?"

These words are easy to say, but they fall into the ears of the monkeys like thunder.

Westward travel... In the end, the study of Buddhist scriptures is just a name, and the real reason is the dispute over teachings!

A gust of breeze blew past him, and for a long time, the monkey slowly raised his head to look at Xuanzang with a look of horror on his face.

Seeing this, Xuanzang slowly raised his head and looked straight ahead.

There was a coldness in his eyes that was different from the previous one, like a strategist who was strategizing.

Facing the wind, he said slowly: "However, this trip also has risks. First, the King of Hell is easy to see, and little ghosts are difficult to deal with. Although the Tathagata cannot kill the poor monk, he can set up many dangers and calamities. Arhats, monks, and anyone who has a stake in it can take action against poor monks."

"To deal with the Tathagata, the poor monk knows what to do, but with this mortal body, he can't win other battles. Besides, practicing the method of Purdue will make Buddhism change its stagnant posture in the past and practice the truth of preaching. Daoist, don't want poor monks to prove Taoism. If they make a move, let alone one life, ten more lives will not be enough. In addition to the demons along the way...hehehe...it's difficult and dangerous, Predictable."

"You are the king of all demons, and you have defeated the heavenly court alone, and you have a bloody feud with the Tathagata. If the poor monk can achieve the Dao in this trip, it can break the Tathagata's heart and make you get revenge for your great revenge... In this world, protecting the poor A monk who travels to the west, apart from you, Sun Wukong, the great sage of the sky, I really can’t find another person.”

Before he finished speaking, he saw a thunderstorm resounding through the sky!

...

In Lingshan Daleiyin Temple, Tathagata slowly opened his eyes.

A Buddha hurried into the hall and fell to his knees: "Revelation Venerable..."

Before he finished speaking, the Tathagata had already waved his hand slowly, signaling him to step back.

Seeing this, the Buddha had no choice but to nod his head and bowed out of the hall.

Turning his face to the side, Tathagata squinted at Zhengfa Ming Tathagata and said, "But you asked Jin Chanzi to find that monster monkey?"

"Exactly." Zhengfa Ming Tathagata bowed and replied, "This disciple has given Jin Chanzi the formula for breaking the seal of the Five Elements Mountain."

Suddenly, the entire hall fell into endless silence.

...

In the roar, the clouds on the horizon rolled, and the storm was about to come.

The monkey smiled slowly, and sighed leisurely: "It seems that he already knows."

A flash of lightning flashed across his eyes, illuminating Xuanzang's face.

"The poor monk not only needs to let him know, but the poor monk also wants to let the heavens know, let the three worlds know... Let them all know that the poor monk is here, step by step, here."

At this moment, facing the wind, he stood with his hands behind his back, with no fear on his face. (To be continued ~^~)
