Chapter 510: Tolerance and Forbearance(1/2)
This question immediately forced Tianpeng into a dead corner and stood there, not knowing what to say for a long time, and his eyes flashed.
After all, Gao Taigong is Nishang's father. Even if it is only in this life, he is Nishang's father. In the heart of this general who was demoted to the mortal world, "Heaven, Earth, Lord, Parents and Teachers" is an ever-changing order.
After finally Xuanzang persuaded him, he finally gained Gao Taigong's understanding. Would he say "no" at this time?
He couldn't say it, and he couldn't even explain it.
Moreover, Ni Shang was still staring at him with anticipation, so he even suddenly felt that the gentle monk in front of him was actually far more difficult to deal with than the ferocious monkey.
After hesitating for a long time, he could only nod in the end.
Seeing this, Gao Taigong, who knew nothing about the previous situation, just nodded silently, but the rest of the people were relieved, even Nishang.
Nishang looked at his father carefully and whispered: "Since you have agreed that it is already night now, why not stay for a few days before you set out?"
"How many days do you stay?" Gao Taigong pointed to the villagers who were hiding in the distance and said, "Do you think it's appropriate to stay here?"
"This..." Nishang looked at her father helplessly, and swallowed the words she was about to blurt out.
Xuanzang clasped his hands together and said, "I won't bother Gao Taigong and all the villagers, let's set off now."
"Okay." Gao Taigong nodded, looked at Tianpeng, and said, "Go early and go back soon."
After saying that, Gao Taigong turned around and walked back to the villa.
After taking Gao Taigong away, Nishang said, "I'll go and help you pack some things."
"What are you cleaning up?" Tianpeng asked.
"I don't know how long it will take to go here. Although you know the changes,..." Nishang didn't say anything anymore. She pursed her lips and looked at Tianpeng. After a long time, she was slightly blessed. She lowered her head and turned around and walked into the villa.
Looking at Ni Shang's back as she was leaving, Tian Peng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Today was a great day, but he showed his true colors and messed up everything. What he didn't expect was that next, he would escort a monk to travel west with his mortal enemy.
It was not until Ni Shang's back disappeared from her eyes that Tian Peng folded his hands together, bowed deeply at Xuanzang, and said, "Master Xie Xuanzang took action to resolve it."
Xuanzang replied, "Marcenary, don't be too polite. I just do my best. Besides, I will make a decision without obtaining the Marshal's consent... I would like to forgive me."
"Master Xuanzang is so serious."
After saying that, Tianpeng turned around and walked aside. He sat down cross-legged, and his eyes looked at the villa from time to time. He also glanced at the monkey's location from time to time.
The night wind blew gently, and the whole villa was silent.
The monkey came to Xuanzang and chuckled softly, "I don't know that you are so lying and lying. You did a good job and solved the problem in one go."
Xuanzang smiled faintly and said, "I just used the method of the Great Sage to solve the problem."
“In my way?”
"Don't you feel familiar?" Xuanzang helped the Ten Thousand Buddha Crown on his head, looked at the bright moon in the sky and said, "At that time, wasn't it just the trick you used to conquer the Nine-Headed Worm? Hundreds of years have passed, and in the end, the bystander, remembers it more clearly."
After saying that, Xuanzang glanced at the monkey, shook his head helplessly, and walked towards his bag.
"What do you want to say?" The monkey couldn't help but frown.
Step by step to the edge of the bag, Xuanzang sat down cross-legged.
"Hey, I have something to say clearly, don't hide it." The monkey thought for a while, followed quickly, bowed and squatted beside Xuanzang and said, "I feel you have something to say, just say it."
"The Great Sage really wants to hear it?"
"explain."
Xuanzang raised his head slightly, frowned and thought for a while, and said jokingly: "Then, let's just discuss the matter, the Great Sage is not allowed to get angry."
"What do you mean? It seems like I'm very stingy." The monkey waved his hand and said, "What do you mean? Say it."
After hesitating for a moment, Xuanzang whispered: "I think the Great Sage is not right to deal with the matter of Marshal Tianpeng. The Great Sage used two peaches to conquer the Nine-Headed Worm in Huaguo Mountain. In fact, after all, it is exactly the same as this matter. Why is the Great Sage calm and angry at Marshal Tianpeng?"
"Is he the same as the Nine-Headed Worm?"
"Is it different?".
"Different." The monkey looked at Tianpeng in the distance and sighed: "He is different from the Nine-Headed Worm. The Nine-Headed Worm knew that the Halloween Dragon King needed peaches, so he ran over and stayed at the gate of my Huaguo Mountain and did not leave. It was much more self-aware than him. As long as he agreed to give him peaches, he would be obedient. What about Tianpeng? Hey... he pointed him a clear way, and he was arrogant. To be honest, he felt a little pitiful before, but now I finally know what his colleagues in the Heavenly Court felt."
"It's really different to say it." Xuanzang sighed faintly.
The monkey raised his eyebrows, looked at Xuanzang, and said, "Do you think so?"
Xuanzang nodded and shook his head again.
"Hey, can you stop pretending? Do you like to play puzzles after practicing Buddhism for a long time?"
Upon hearing this, Xuanzang laughed and said softly: "Don't be angry, I ask, if the Nine-headed worm didn't come to ask you for a peach, would you be angry?"
The monkey couldn't help but laugh: "What are you saying? Why are you angry if he didn't come to me to ask for peaches? Speaking of which, I was very worried when he came to me to ask for peaches. Don't forget that my cultivation level was not much better than his Nine-Headed Insect. If I don't come, I'm sure I will feel more comfortable."
"That's right." Xuanzang sighed leisurely: "Actually, the Great Sage thought the problem was on Marshal Tianpeng, but in fact the opposite was on the contrary. The problem was on the Great Sage."
"What do you mean?" The monkey couldn't help but wonder.
Xuanzang clasped his hands together and said, "In fact, the problems encountered by the Great Sage Master in these two people are almost the same, and they can be solved in the same way. The difference is, the Great Sage Master has different attitudes towards the two. The Nine-headed insect is willing to surrender. The Great Sage Master just follows the flow and it will come naturally. Marshal Tianpeng gritted his teeth and said nothing to listen to the Great Sage Master... There is a saying that goes? 'A good intention is bitten by a dog'."
The monkey was stunned, thought for a while and laughed, nodded, "Yes, it's just this mood. It's obviously a mutually beneficial cooperation, but he gave me such troubles. If he really had some strength, it would be fine, but he couldn't even take a move from me. He also wanted to slap the swollen face and pretend to be fat. To put it bluntly, it's just a cheap person. If it weren't for you, I might be sure that I'd really killed him just now, and I was not upset."
Xuanzang smiled, took a deep breath, and then said, "I thought about the time when I asked for an order to travel west, and I wanted to save all sentient beings, but I was killed by Emperor Taizong. When I was in prison in the Chang'an Palace, Tathagata Jing of the Dharma Ming said to me: "Sentient beings are ignorant and do not want to listen to the teachings, so the action of storing is not feasible." But I insisted on going west. You must know that traveling west is to prove the way of storing. How can you talk about everything with sticks? Is it possible? If sentient beings do not want to listen to the teachings, they will kill all sentient beings? If this method is feasible, what should I do? If I really do this, let alone 108,000 miles, even ten hundred8,000 miles, you can't achieve the Tao. Great Sage, do you think?"
The monkey looked up at Xuanzang and said, "What do you want to say? Let the flow? Just like you did to Jinchi?"
Xuanzang shook his head, stretched out his finger and said, "This is only one place."
"What else?"
Xuanzang pursed his lips, thought about it carefully, and asked softly: "Has the Great Sage ever heard of: the difference between 'tolerance' and 'tolerance'?"
After saying this, the monkey suddenly felt a little more ridiculous.
He turned sideways, sat cross-legged, and said with a smile: "Please tell me about it. For the sake of you solving a problem for me today, you can do whatever you want to say today, so tell me."
Tianpeng in the distance saw the monkey suddenly smiling, and couldn't help but stretch his ears and listen carefully.
Xuanzang also laughed, but had no intention of refusal. He coughed twice and said slowly: "The Great Sage also knows that I am the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi. But why did Jin Chanzi choose to reincarnate and why didn't he attain enlightenment in this world? Do you know this?"
"This..." the monkey shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it."
"I couldn't understand it earlier, but now I have realized it. Why is reincarnation only lies in 'tolerance and tolerance'." Xuanzang reached out to pick up a branch, wrote the four words "tolerance" on the ground, and said softly: "Tolerance is the most important thing about the word "tolerance". Tolerance is the most important thing about the word "tolerance". Tolerance is the first thing about understanding, sympathizing with one's own feelings, and not doing to others what you do not want others to do to others. Tolerance is to emphasize the word "tolerance" and it is just a temporary solution. Tolerance is the time when one can't bear it."
"The Buddha said that sentient beings are ignorant, and this is true. But what should we do to save all sentient beings? If we do not pass them because of the ignorance of sentient beings, then what is the difference between my monk's way of savior and the Western Buddhas? But if sentient beings are really ignorant and do not want to be saved, how should I face them?" With the branch in my hand, he knocked the word "forbearance" on the ground, Xuanzang asked softly: "Is it because I just blindly tolerant? I guess the Jinchanzi had been suffering from this "confusion" for a long time."
The monkey couldn't help but frown in confusion.
Tianpeng in the distance also looked at the four words written on the ground from afar and was immersed in the divine sense.
Xuanzang pursed his lips and pointed the branch in his hand at another word "tolerance", saying: "To resolve this 'confusion' is nothing more than turning 'tolerance' into 'tolerance'. How easy is to tolerate? The tolerance that cannot be achieved is nothing more than another form of tolerance. To save all sentient beings, we must first "tolerance" sentient beings. In this way, we must not only not be able to escape from the sea of suffering, but we must go against the flow and escape into the sea of suffering."
"You mean, Jin Chanzi is reincarnated for..."
Xuanzang nodded and said, "Only by personally experiencing the suffering of sentient beings can we truly tolerate sentient beings, and in this way, it is possible to save all sentient beings. I think this is the reason why Jin Chanzi chose to practice for ten generations and escape into the sea of suffering. Because there are things that cannot be felt in these ten generations of mortal worlds that are high above the Buddha's position. Haha... It's amazing. If I hadn't had the suffering at the beginning, I would probably not have made up my mind to walk this 100,000-mile road."
Hearing this, the monkey's eyes slowly narrowed into a slit and began to think. The Tianpeng in the distance couldn't help but open his eyes slightly and stare at Xuanzang.
After gently putting down the branches in his hand, Xuanzang continued: "As the Great Sage said, the strategy of traveling west is actually a reciprocity. Even for Marshal Tianpeng, it is the best choice, but for us, it is not necessary. However, the Great Sage thinks so, but the Marshal may not think so. In this way, there will be a deviation between the two conveniences. If the Great Sage is rejected again and again, and even the other party takes action first... the limit of tolerance will come. The Great Sage thinks, what I am saying is right, or isn't right?"
The monkey frowned and thought for a long time, and sighed softly: "Something makes sense."
Xuanzang smiled faintly and continued, "Is the Great Sage still a little hard to accept?"
The monkey didn't talk to each other, and just glanced at Xuanzang indifferently.
Xuanzang took a deep breath and said, "In this way, Xuanzang will mention another person to the Great Sage."
"who?"
Xuanzang stretched out his finger and pointed at the sky and said, "Taishang Laojun."
"Why did you mention him suddenly?"
"Don't the Great Sage think that your situation today is very similar to that of the Taishang Laojun who was determined to maintain the right path of heaven on that day?"
When the monkey asked, he was stunned. He stared at the empty ground in front of him with his legs crossed, his eyebrows getting tighter and tighter.
Seeing this, Xuanzang stroked his sleeves and continued, "If you really want to talk about it, the Great Sage of yesterday is probably even better than the Marshal Tianpeng today. Thinking about the troubles you made that day, the Grand Sage of the Supreme Lord was just using tricks and never irritated with you. What a mind. Although the final result is not very good, if you change to the Great Sage of the Great Sage, can you do it like him?"
The monkey remained silent.
"Everything must be put in your shoes and put in the same scene to truly experience it. Without experience, there will be no tolerance." After sighing faintly, Xuanzang continued, "Xuanzang is not a pedantic person. On that day, he captured a group of bandits and handed over to the government to deal with it. The government and bandits colluded with each other, and in a blink of an eye, they were released. If you meet an ordinary person, you may wish you could eat your flesh and blood, but Xuanzang just told the Great Sage to scare them."
Speaking of this, Xuanzang smiled faintly and sighed: "Actually, the bandit leader was born in a kind family in his early years. He worked and went in and rested at sunrise. He was very diligent. He was only because of the disaster in his hometown, he was extremely hungry and stole official food, and finally he did this life that was licking blood from the knife. Although there were countless lives in his hands, if it really happened, whether the life was because of him or the world... I am afraid that it still needs to be considered. Good will not be rewarded, and evil will not be rewarded. When he came to this world, anyone would be blank. What is right and what is wrong depends entirely on others' teachings. Marshal Tianpeng is like this, and the Great Sage is like this."
"If you are obedient and not a full meal, and a great traitor and evil can be prosperous and wealthy, then who else is willing to do good deeds in this world? After all, even if there is no bandit leader, someone else will be replaced by a king. What needs to be passed on is the whole world, not a certain person. Similarly, if the bandit leader is replaced by a monster, the same is true. The Great Sage thinks, is this the truth?"
As he said that, Xuanzang quietly glanced at Tianpeng in the distance.
Looking at this glance, Tianpeng immediately turned his eyes and looked down at the grass swaying in the wind in front of him.
The monkey sighed a long time, bent down and said quietly, "Okay, you are reasonable. If all the creatures in this world can think like you, then there will be no disaster. Spread the world? Hey... I really believe that you can save all living beings."
"So the Great Sage doesn't believe it?"
"It turns out... I didn't believe it very much, or I think it has nothing to do with me if you don't want to pass it. As long as you break the Tathagata's mind of the Tao, what you do specifically has nothing to do with me."
"What about now?"
"I think...it seems to be true now."
At this moment, the monkey's voice rang in Xuanzang's mind: "Do you know someone is eavesdropping?"
"Master Tianpeng?" Xuanzang asked.
"It's not a secret that pig head eavesdropped, it's rare that he didn't listen. It's... the other two people. They seem to have miscalculated my perception range this time."
The monkey laughed and slowly turned his head to the dark night sky.
Upon hearing this, Xuanzang also followed the monkey's gaze.
