Chapter 24 Five hundred years
Chen Fan looked at Sun Wukong pressing under the Five Elements Mountain and couldn't help but smile and said, "You monkey head, now you know that the sky is high and the earth is thick?"
Sun Wukong grinned and nodded. Since his birth, he has learned supernatural powers and became the Great Sage of the Monkey King. He is extremely powerful. Unexpectedly, his proud supernatural power Somerset Yun did not even turn out the palm of Tathagata.
"In five hundred years, you can come out." Chen Fan also raised his lips and smiled.
"Where are you going?" Sun Wukong was very familiar with Chen Fan. Although he only said a few words, he could see Chen Fan's intention to leave.
“Secret practice.”
Chen Fan smiled slightly, looked at the Five Elements Mountain a few times, and said lightly: "This place is also a pure place, only five hundred years. I hope that when you see each other again, you and I will make progress."
"Teacher, take care of yourself." Sun Wukong pointed his head out and grinned, while thinking about the five hundred years of saying in his heart. He had no doubts about Chen Fan and truly believed in him.
Chen Fan nodded, his figure disappeared out of thin air, and entered Liuyun Immortal Palace.
Now that Yi Lin has been cured, he has also settled his mind. He can only agree to Guanyin's plan to subdue the demons, and he will be able to see the truth after five hundred years.
On the way to obtain the scriptures, there are many demon clans with great skills, such as the real immortals and demons such as the Bull Demon King, who are not weaker than Erlang Shen. As the so-called "being entrusted by others to loyal people", Chen Fan could only continue to practice if he wanted to subdue the demons.
...Time flies, spring passes and winter comes, and five hundred years pass by.
Yilin, Zhao De and Liu Quan on the second floor of the Immortal Palace have been in the late stage of the Nascent Soul for five hundred years, with the supply of elixirs and peaches.
Chen Fan had already passed the magical powers of the seventy-two transformations to the three of them. However, what surprised Chen Fan was that the three of them did not quickly understand the seventy-two transformations like Qingniu. Instead, they were practicing this magical power.
Qingniu is a transformed monster that has lived for tens of thousands of years. He is knowledgeable and has a very fast learning experience. Compared with this, Yilin, Zhao De and Liu Quan are only concerned about cultivation, and they are still much worse in terms of fighting and knowledge.
The dragon crow, fire unicorn, fire monkey, golden-winged roc eagle and other spiritual beasts, as well as the small stones that have become essences in Buddhist treasures, have also been fully advanced to the transformation period, and Chen Fan also passed on the seventy-two transformations.
During these five hundred years, Chen Fan also visited the Shinto World, and gathered with his old friends such as the Moon Worshiping Master, Nie Xiaoqian, Xiaoqing, Jiang Wan'er, Bai Suzhen, Xu Xian, Zhao Ling'er, Li Xiaoyao and others. He stayed in the Shinto World for more than two hundred years before returning to the Journey to the West.
But Chen Fan spent most of these five hundred years in seclusion and practice.
After advancing to the middle stage of the celestial immortal, that is, after the true immortal, if you want to make progress in your cultivation, you must understand the laws of the great way.
There are three ways in front of Chen Fan.
One is the inheritance obtained from the mysterious bead, which is to directly attain the Golden Immortal Way and understand the law of power.
The second is the great way of Yin and Yang that Chen Fan understood by himself during his cultivation, also known as the great way of Yin and Yang Creation.
The third is when refining the mysterious little beads. You can understand the great laws of time and space connotation of the little beads, which is quite meaningful to prove the Tao with treasures.
After thinking about it, Chen Fan chose the inheritance and power law in the martial arts, and used his strength to prove the truth, which was mostly the same as the demon clans such as Sun Wukong.
Five hundred years is nothing for the true immortal. Even Chen Fan, who has the inheritance of martial arts and can directly attain the Golden Immortal, felt the difficulty of cultivation.
You should know that the Jade Emperor has experienced 1,750 kalpas, and each kalpa should be 129,600 years. Over the past countless years, he has only been practicing and exploring among the true immortals.
Since returning from the Shinto World, Chen Fan has met Sun Wukong from time to time, and each confirmed the understanding of some power laws.
Most of Sun Wukong was listening. After all, Chen Fan had a legacy of martial arts, and the one who was leading was not a little bit.
On this day, a voice came from the sky, and someone wrote a poem saying, "I am sorry that the demon monkey was not dedicated to the public. I was arrogant and acted like a hero back then. I was deceived and disturbed the Taotao Club. I boldly went to the Tushita Palace. There was invincible hand among the 100,000 troops. There was a mighty power in the ninth level of heaven. I was trapped by my Buddha Tathagata, when will Shushen show his merits again!"
This poem expresses the deeds of Sun Wukong being taken down by Tathagata clearly.
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but shout: "Is it the one who recites poems on the mountain to reveal my shortcomings?"
When the two walked down the mountain, Chen Fan and Sun Wukong knew each other, which was Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Hui'an Walker Mu Cha who had fought with Sun Wukong.
He took care of Sun Wukong's land, mountain god, and heavenly soldiers and generals, and took the Bodhisattva to Chen Fan and Sun Wukong.
The Bodhisattva first saw a tribute with Chen Fan. After looking at Chen Fan with great meaning, he looked at Sun Wukong. He saw that the former great saint was pressed into the stone box, his mouth could speak, but his body could not move.
Although Sun Wukong's embarrassment made the Bodhisattva sigh, Chen Fan's increasingly profound cultivation surprised the Bodhisattva. With his eyesight, he could no longer see through Chen Fan's cultivation, which was completely incomparable to the time when he first entered the true immortal five hundred years ago.
After pondering for a while, the Bodhisattva said, "My surname is Sun, do you recognize me?"
The great sage opened his golden eyes and nodded his head and shouted, "Why don't I recognize you? Your good intention is the great compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva who saved the suffering and the suffering on Luojia Mountain in Putuo, South China Sea. I will take care of you! I will live here like a year, and no one knows you to come to see me. Where did you come from?"
The Bodhisattva said: "I follow the Buddha's will and go to the East to seek the sutras. From then on, I will leave my remaining steps to see you."
The great sage said: "The Tathagata coaxed me and pressed me to this mountain for more than five hundred years. He cannot make any profit. I hope the Bodhisattva will be able to save me and my grandson!"
When Sun Wukong heard this, he knew that the time was coming. After all, Chen Fan said that the period of five hundred years was, and now that Guanyin arrived, it would not be the period of five hundred years?
And Guanyin belongs to the same Buddhist sect as Tathagata, obviously not just to see him.
The Bodhisattva said, "Your sins are so deep that you will be saved. If you are afraid that you will suffer disaster again, you will be unbeautiful."
When Sun Wukong heard that there was a show, he hurriedly said, "I have regretted it. I hope that great compassion can lead to the path and practice it."
When the Bodhisattva heard this, he was filled with joy. It seemed that the monkey head had been pressed for five hundred years and had greatly reduced its inferiority. He said to the great saint: "The Bible says: 'If you speak well, you will respond thousands of miles away; if you speak badly, you will respond thousands of miles away." Since you have this intention, when I go to the Dongtu Datang Kingdom to find a person who has obtained the scriptures and teach him to save you. You can be a disciple with him, uphold the teachings and enter my Buddhism. How about it?"
The great sage said, "I wish to go! I wish to go!"
The Bodhisattva said: "As long as there are good results, I will give you a Dharma name."
The great sage said: "I am already famous, and I am called Sun Wukong."
The Bodhisattva said, "There are two people who surrendered in front of me, which is exactly the ranking of the word "天". Now you are also "天" but it is very good and very good with him. There is no need to remind you, I will go."
Chen Fan, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but smile when he heard this. It seemed that the Bodhisattva said that the two surrendered, namely Zhu Bajie who came to the earth, and Sha Wujing who came to the earth with the rolling curtain.
Seeing that nothing was missing, Guanyin invited Chen Fan to Chang'an and Tang Dynasty.
Chen Fan's cultivation is now unfathomable and is no less than Guan Shiyin. He is also a participant in the plan that year. Guan Shiyin naturally wants to discuss with him and conquer the monsters.
Chen Fan, Guan Shiyin and Mu Cha came from the east all the time and arrived in Chang'an in a day.
The fog and clouds were gathered, and the three of them entered Chang'an City, but they didn't realize it was late.
When we arrived at Dashi Street, we saw a land temple. Three people walked in and frightened the land. The ghost soldiers were frightened and knew that it was a Bodhisattva and kowtowed to join us.
The land rushed to report to the City God and the Temple Gods and the gods of the temples all over Chang'an City, and all came to see each other and told him, "Bodhisattva, forgive the sins of the gods for being delayed."
The Bodhisattva said: "You must not leak the news. I will come here to visit the monks according to the Buddha's order. I will lend you the right to stay in the temple for a few days, and then return after visiting the true monk."
The gods returned to their hometowns and drove the land to the City God Temple to live temporarily.
The phrase "Chang'an City, a great country in Shaanxi, was the place where emperors of all dynasties built their capitals.
Since the Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties, the three states have bloomed flowers and eight rivers flowing around the city, making them a truly famous country.
At that time, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne and changed his reign to Zhenguan. He had ascended the throne for thirteen years. In Jisi, the world was peaceful, and tribute was paid to all directions, and the world was praised.
Suddenly one day, Emperor Taizong ascended the throne and gathered all civil and military officials. After the ceremony, Prime Minister Wei Zheng came out to report: "Today, the peace and peace in all directions should be brought to the ancient method to open a selection of wise men, recruit talents, and use talents to cultivate the principles."
Taizong said: "What the wise minister is right."
The list of scholars to recruit talents was published in the world: all prefectures, prefectures, counties, military, civilians, etc., but some people who read and had a clear and clear literary style, went to Chang'an to take the exam.
When this list goes to Haizhou, a man named Chen and his name is E, and his name is Guangrui. When he saw this list, he went home immediately and said to his mother Zhang: "The court issued a yellow list, and ordered the Southern Province to be opened to take the exam. The child intends to go to take the exam. If he gets a half-off position, he will make his relatives famous, and his wife and sons will be honored, and his family will be glorious. This is his son's ambition. He hereby report to his mother to go."
Zhang said: "My son is a scholar who is 'study and strong,' and should be like this. But when he goes to the imperial examination, he must be careful on the way. After he gets an official, he will come back early."
Guangrui then ordered the servant to pack his luggage, then bid farewell to his mother and head forward.
When he arrived in Chang'an, the selection was started, Guangrui entered the venue, and the three strategies of the court were tested. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally awarded the top scholar and paraded on the street for three days.
Unexpectedly, he traveled to the head of the Prime Minister Yin Kai Mountain Gate. There was a daughter born to the Prime Minister, named Wen Jiao, also known as Mantang Jiao. He had never married, and was in high school and was thrown into a hydrangea and a son-in-law.
Just as Chen Guangrui passed by downstairs, the lady saw that Guangrui had outstanding talents and knew that she was the top scorer in the new subject. She was very happy and threw the hydrangea ball down, just wearing Guangrui's black hat.
Hearing the joy of the sheng and flute, more than a dozen maids and concubines walked downstairs, held Guangrui's horse's head, and welcomed the top scholar to the prime minister's mansion to get married.
