Jieyin doesn't think that Holy Bear Xiaobai can make up for the gap in cultivation level between millions of years in just a short period of time!
Moreover, Holy Bear Xiaobai's foundation is not as strong as Nuwa's. Jie Yin feels that it will not be easy for this bear to catch up with Nuwa's cultivation!
If Holy Bear Xiaobai were here and heard Jie Yin commenting on him like this, he would immediately fall out with Jie Yin, pick up the purple electric hammer and go hammer Jie Yin!
At this time, Zhunti said to Jieyin:
"Brother, if this bear wants to catch up with Nuwa's cultivation, the only way is to gain more merit and luck!
This time we travel west to obtain scriptures and unify Buddhism. You and I should pay more attention to this bear, lest all our merits be taken away by this bear!"
Zhunti knows the temperament of Holy Bear Xiaobai. This bear will definitely find ways to obtain merit and luck, thereby increasing his own cultivation.
The unification of Buddhism and the unification of Mahayana and Hinayana are great merits and fortunes, so Zhunti seriously suspected that this bear was eyeing the great merits of the unification of Buddhism.
"Junior brother, what you said makes sense!"
After nodding in response to Zhunti's reminder, Jie Yin asked again:
"Junior brother, how about the Lingming Stone Monkey?"
The Lingming Stone Monkey is an extremely important chess piece in Mahayana Buddhism, so I came here to ask about the situation!
After Zhunti pointed his fingers, he answered towards Jieyin:
"This hozen has arrived at Hezhou, Xiniu, and will soon reach Lingtai Fangcun Mountain!"
…
Under the protection of Guanyin, the Lingming Stone Monkey drifted on the sea for nearly ten years and finally arrived at Xiniu Hezhou!
In the past ten years, Guanyin has been on tenterhooks every day, fearing that some master would appear and take action against the Lingming Stone Monkey!
Now that we have arrived in Hezhou, Xiniu, Guanshiyin finally breathes a sigh of relief.
Xiniu Hezhou is located in the west, and it is the territory of the Two Saints of the West. Even other saints cannot interfere with the affairs of Xiniu Hezhou!
Lingtai Fangcun Mountain Sanxingyue Cave...
Taoist Bodhisattva sat high above the auspicious clouds, and he issued a decree to summon Avalokitesvara.
After Guanshiyin saw Master Bodhi, he quickly bowed and saluted:
"Disciple Guanyin, I have seen the great god!"
Although Bodhi Taoist is not a living being, he is the good corpse of the saint Zundi. His status is so noble that no one can compare with the saint!
Therefore, even if Avalokitesvara is the elder of the south among the five elders of the five directions, he still has to bow and salute honestly.
The reason why Avalokitesvara salutes is not only the noble status of Taoist Bodhisattva, but also the cultivation level of the other party.
Taoist Bodhi is a saint and a good corpse. He has the strength of half a step of Hunyuan. He has almost no opponents under the saint.
But Guanshiyin is just a small early stage quasi-sage, and he naturally and honestly bows to the Bodhi Taoist!
Taoist Bodhi looked at Guanyin below and directly ordered:
"Cihang, go quickly and bring my disciples here!"
The disciple mentioned by Taoist Bodhi is naturally the Lingming Stone Monkey.
You must know that Taoist Bodhisattva opened the Sanxingyue Cave in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain in accordance with the decree of the deity Zhunti, just to accept the Lingming Stone Monkey as a disciple for the deity Zhunti!
"Disciple, please obey the law!"
After Guanshiyin bowed his head, he turned into divine light and escaped!
After Avalokitesvara left, Taoist Bodhisattva (the Patriarch) waved the whisk in his hand and shot out several rays of divine light, turning into thirty or forty disciples, children!
Taoist Bodhi (the Patriarch) faced these thirty or forty transformed disciples and ordered:
"You all do your own thing!"
After Patriarch Bodhi finished giving instructions, these transformed disciples went down individually.
All this Bodhi Patriarch did was just to help the Lingming Stone Monkey better adapt to the environment!
Precisely because these disciples of Patriarch Bodhi were all transformed, the so-called senior brothers have never been seen since Lingming Stone Monkey left the Sanxing Xieyue Cave!
Because the Lingming Stone Monkey is naturally vicious, pedestrians avoid it and don’t want to walk in the Lingming Stone Monkey’s path!
In desperation, Guanshiyin transformed the pedestrians along the way and showed the way to the Lingming Stone Monkey, leading him to the foot of Lingtai Fangcun Mountain!
However, the Lingming Stone Monkey soon lost its way in the Fangcun Mountain of Lingtai. In desperation, Guanshiyin could only shake his head and turned into a woodcutter, wearing a bamboo hat on his head, a cloth on his body, and a sash around his waist.
Wearing straw sandals on their feet, holding a steel ax in one hand, and carrying firewood on a pole in the other, they walked along singing Taoist songs!
"Watching the chess player and losing, cutting down the wood, walking slowly at the mouth of the valley beside the clouds... Where we meet, it is either an immortal or a Taoist, sit quietly and talk!"
Lingming Stone Monkey heard a song coming from the mountain stream. When he listened carefully, he felt that the song was extraordinary, so he quickly ran in the direction of the Taoist song!
After Lingming Stone Monkey ran wildly for a while, he finally saw the woodcutter transformed by Guanyin, and then he quickly kowtowed and saluted, saying:
"Old Immortal, my disciple traveled across oceans and seas, traveled across mountains and rivers, and finally found you after going through a lot of hardships!"
Lingming Stone Monkey felt that this song was extraordinary and the person who could sing it was not an ordinary person, so he directly regarded the woodcutter in front of him as the Bodhi Patriarch!
Guanshiyin, who turned into a woodcutter, listened to what Lingming Stone Monkey said, and his heart suddenly burned with anger, and he made ten thousand complaints!
Is it this spiritual stone monkey who has gone through all kinds of hardships? It is clearly my own Guanyin of the South China Sea!
I have guarded this monkey in Huaguo Mountain for hundreds of years. During the ten years when this monkey was wandering on the sea, I worried about this monkey day and night, for fear that something would happen to this monkey and I would be blamed!
Now this monkey actually said that he has gone through a lot of hardships, which is simply too much!
When Guanshiyin thought that her mission was about to be completed, she finally felt better!
So she answered in the tone of a woodcutter:
"No, I'm just a woodcutter, not some old god!"
Although Guanshiyin is an old immortal herself, she still dare not admit it in front of the Lingming Stone Monkey.
Because Avalokitesvara knows that once she recognizes herself as an immortal, the spiritual stone monkey will definitely pester her to become a disciple!
If Lingming Stone Monkey does not worship Patriarch Bodhi as his teacher, it will be difficult for him to give accurate representation of Guanshiyin!
Moreover, Guanyin is just a small quasi-sage. If he steals the disciples of the sage Zhunti, is he deceiving the sage? This is a naked courtship of death!
When Lingming Stone Monkey saw the woodcutter in front of him denying that he was a god, a look of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he said:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Brother, I heard that your poetry is extraordinary, isn't it like something that mortals can know?"
The Lingming Stone Monkey has lived for more than three hundred years, so naturally he will not believe the other party's words easily.
The Taoist song sung by the woodcutter just now contained a hint of the supreme Tao. Only the clever stone monkey could not believe that the other person was a mortal!
"Hahaha!"
Avalokitesvara, who turned into a woodcutter, laughed loudly, and then said with a smile:
"Monkey, this poem was taught to me by a real old god. I feel refreshed when I sing it!"
Guanshiyin deliberately sang this song before to attract the attention of the Lingming Stone Monkey.
Now that she saw that Lingming Stone Monkey had taken the bait, she was naturally overjoyed!
After listening to what the woodcutter said, Lingming Stone Monkey quickly bowed and asked:
"Brother, this is Lingtai Fangcun Mountain? Is the old immortal who taught you poetry the Bodhi Patriarch?"
Now that the Lingming Stone Monkey knew that the woodcutter in front of him was not an old immortal, his attention was naturally no longer on him, so he focused on the so-called Bodhi Patriarch!
The woodcutter transformed into Guanyin nodded quickly and then said:
"This mountain is Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, and it was Patriarch Bodhi who taught me poetry!"
Lingming Stone Monkey was overjoyed after hearing this and quickly asked:
"Brother, where is Patriarch Bodhi?"
The woodcutter transformed into Guanyin put down the firewood, pointed in the direction of the Samsung Xianyue Cave, and said to the Lingming Stone Monkey:
"There is a three-star cave with a slanting moon in the mountain. There is an immortal in that cave, named Patriarch Bodhi.
The Patriarch taught countless disciples, and today there are still thirty or forty people practicing with the Patriarch Bodhi.
Monkey, if you follow that path and go south for seven or eight miles, you will find his Taoist temple."
After Guanshiyin finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, because her mission would be completed soon and she would return to Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea!
After the Lingming Stone Monkey remembered the woodcutter's instructions, he bowed to the woodcutter:
"Thanks for the advice, bro!"
After Lingming Stone Monkey thanked him, he saw that the woodcutter was middle-aged and said again:
"Why don't you, brother, come with me to learn from Patriarch Na Bodhi and practice the method of immortality? How about you introduce me to it by the way?"
Lingming Stone Monkey felt that the woodcutter was already middle-aged and probably did not have many years left to live, so he suggested that he and himself go to the Patriarch Bodhi and learn the method of immortality!
Moreover, Lingming Shihou felt that since Patriarch Bodhi was willing to teach the woodcutter Taoist songs, it meant that the woodcutter must have gotten acquainted with Patriarch Bodhi.
If after you find the Bodhi Patriarch, he is unwilling to accept you as his disciple, you can still ask the woodcutter to put in a good word for you!
Avalokitesvara has been practicing with Yuanshi Tianzun for millions of years since he attained the status of a saint. She could see the thoughts of the Lingming Stone Monkey at a glance!
So, she said in the tone of a woodcutter:
"Hou'er, I still have a mother to support at home, so you can go and become a disciple yourself!
As long as you can reach the three-star Xianyue Cave, Patriarch Bodhi will definitely accept you!"
Avalokitesvara's mission is finally coming to an end. She doesn't want to follow the Lingming Stone Monkey to the Sanxing Xieyue Cave to become a disciple. Now she just wants to guide the monkey to the Sanxing Xieyue Cave and then return to the dojo!
Besides, even if you follow Lingming Stone Monkey to become a disciple, other Bodhi Taoists, as saints and good corpses, may not accept you!
And if the apprenticeship is successful, Guanshiyin feels that he still cannot escape and can only continue to accompany this monkey!
In fact, after Avalokitesvara and others joined Western Buddhism (Mahayana Buddhism), although they faced Zhunti and introduced the two Western sages, they often regarded themselves as disciples!
But in reality, Zhunti Jieyin and others did not accept Guanshiyin because they were afraid of leaving Sun and others as their disciples. Therefore, Guanyin and others always called Zhunti Jieyin and others as their leader.
It’s not like the pharmacist, Ksitigarbha, and Lu Ya who call Zhunti, Jie, and Yin the master, or the teacher!
Zhunti accepted the two sects, and at first he only accepted Guanyin and others, traitors of the two sects of Interpretation and Interpretation, as disciples.
If Zhunti leads the two sects and recruits the traitors of the two sects as disciples, he will definitely make other saints laugh at him.
…
After the woodcutter transformed by Avalokitesvara gave instructions to the Lingming Stone Monkey, he picked up the firewood and left, ignoring the other party!
In a moment, the Lingming Stone Monkey saw that the woodcutter had walked away and disappeared, and it vaguely understood something.
The Lingming Stone Monkey bowed and saluted in the direction where the woodcutter left, and then ran in the direction of the Sanxing Xianyue Cave.
After walking seven or eight miles, Lingming Stone Monkey came to a Taoist palace. He looked at the stone tablets of the Taoist palace and read: "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Sanxing Xieyue Cave" cross, and he knew he had found the right place!
When Lingming Stone Monkey was about to knock on the palace door, he heard the sound of preaching coming from the Taoist Palace.
Lingming Stone Monkey estimated that Patriarch Bodhi was giving a sermon inside, so he did not knock on the door for fear of disturbing the other party's sermon and causing his displeasure!
Just like that, the Lingming Stone Monkey was playing outside the palace gate, planning to wait for Patriarch Bodhi to finish his sermon before knocking on the door to pay his respects!
The Bodhi Patriarch in the dojo noticed that the Lingming Stone Monkey was outside the palace. He waved his whisk and the boy bowed and went down to open the door for the Lingming Stone Monkey!
As the children opened the door for the Lingming Stone Monkey, he was introduced into the main hall.
Lingming Stone Monkey looked at the Bodhi Patriarch sitting on the high platform, kowtowed and saluted:
"Grandmaster, I have traveled across oceans and seas, traveled across mountains and rivers, and gone through all kinds of hardships to come to learn from my master. I beg you, grandmaster, to accept me as your disciple!"
Patriarch Bodhi looked at the Lingming Stone Monkey below and said:
"Monkey, if you can come to this dojo, you are destined to be with me. Today, I will accept you as my disciple!"
After Patriarch Bodhi accepted Lingming Stone Monkey as his disciple, he continued:
"Monkey, do you have a surname?"
Patriarch Bodhi naturally knew that the Lingming Stone Monkey had no surname, but he still had to go through the motions!
When Lingming Stone Monkey saw Patriarch Bodhi asking about his name, he quickly said:
"Old Patriarch, I am a stone monkey born with no name, no surname, no father and no mother!"
Patriarch Bodhi was very satisfied when he saw that Lingming Stone Monkey was relatively honest, so he said:
"Monkey, although you have a humble body, you look like a pinecone-eating hozen.
You and I took on a surname. The character "碢" was placed next to an animal, which turned out to be Gu Yue.
The ancient is old, the moon is yin, and old yin cannot be transformed and cultivated!
The word "狲" is next to "animal", which means it is a sub-lineage.
The son means a boy, and the tie means a baby. This is in line with the basic concept of a baby. How about I teach you to have a surname of 'Sun'?"
After Patriarch Bodhi decided on the surname "Sun", he turned his attention to the Lingming Stone Monkey and asked if the monkey was satisfied.
"My last name is Sun!"
Lingming Shihou was very satisfied when he heard that he had a surname. He didn't care what the surname was, as long as he had a surname!
Patriarch Bodhi saw whether Lingming Stone Monkey had any objections, so he said again:
"There are twelve words in my door: 'The vast wisdom is as true as nature, the sea, the sea, the enlightenment, and the enlightenment'.
You are ranked in the queue, and when the word "enlightenment" is used, you will be given a Dharma name of Wukong, and from now on you will be called: Sun Wukong!"
The name given by Patriarch Bodhi to the Lingming Stone Monkey is meaningful. The Lingming Stone Monkey is the origin of the Chaos Demon Ape, and its understanding is naturally not bad!
With the word "empty", Patriarch Bodhi hopes that Lingming Stone Monkey will be empty of all four elements in his heart, become a Buddha as soon as possible, and not be confused by obsession!
"I have a name, my name is Sun Wukong! Sun~Wukong~"
The Lingming Stone Monkey, who has lived for more than three hundred years, was like a child, dancing happily on the spot after he got a name!
After the luminous stone monkey Sun Wukong became a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi, Patriarch Bodhi was not in a hurry to teach him magical powers, but planned to hone them for a few years!
In this way, Sun Wukong, while in the dojo of Patriarch Bodhi, began to be responsible for sweeping the floor, serving tea and water, watering flowers and water, and building vegetation!
At the same time, I studied astronomy and geography from those so-called senior brothers, and understood the ways of the world.
