What Grandma Jian Shu said was a bit difficult for me to understand. Grandma Jian Shu just said something, but she couldn’t actually explain clearly. It was just that my grandfather told her when he left that Chujiu and I would definitely go to their village.
"Your grandpa asked me to tell you to leave the village and go back to school as soon as possible."
While eating breakfast, I pondered the meaning of these two sentences in my mind, and I was even more confused.
On the contrary, Chujiu said that since Grandpa Qin said so, he must have a reason, and we should just do it.
There are still more than twenty days before the start of school. I spent three days on the road and arrived in Chongqing to see the old woman who was in the military and Xiao Yu. At this time, Xiao Yu should still be on duty for her instructor.
Thinking of what Xiaoyu said to me at the train station, and how he stood in front of me and helped me arrange my scarf, looking like a little daughter-in-law, I couldn't help but have a smile on my face.
"Guo Guo, do you miss Sister Xiaoyu?"
"Nonsense!"
"I think that's right! Hey, if it doesn't happen, there won't be. What are you going to do if you hit me on the head?"
Chujiu rubbed his head, snatched the rice porridge from my bowl, and finally had a smile on his face.
We agreed to accompany Grandma Jian Shu down the mountain after dinner. We can walk a long way with Grandma Jian Shu. Grandma Jian Shu's village is at the other end of the village at the foot of the mountain.
After dinner, Chujiu smiled mysteriously and said that he was going to Lanxi to bring some dry food before leaving.
When he came back on the ninth day of the lunar month, Lanxi and Mili were with him. Lanxi was carrying a floral cloth package in his hand. The package looked heavy, and it should be filled with delicious dry food.
"Brother, I heard from Chujiu that you are going back to school?"
Lan Xi held my arm, looking reluctant to leave. After Mi Li glanced at us, he said that he must remember to return to the village during the next holiday, and went to the side of Grandma Jian Shu.
After tidying up, we left the village. Lanxi and Mili sent us out of the bamboo forest until we had gone very far, and when we turned around we could still see them waving their arms.
This time we were not so lucky. We didn't encounter horse-drawn carriages or ox-carts on the road. We walked for several hours before we reached the main road, where we were waiting for a truck pulling steel. The kind-hearted truck driver took us to the county town along the way.
On the ninth day of the lunar month, I got my wish and lived in a guest house in the county. I bared my front teeth and jumped up and down on the bed with a silly smile. I had completely forgotten about my uncle's departure.
"Guo Guo, Master Qin asked us to go back to school early. Is there any mission for my uncle?"
During the New Year period, all restaurants and canteens in the county were closed, so we could only buy instant noodles at the front desk of the guest house.
"I've thought about this possibility, but I'm not sure. I'll find out when I get to school."
After eating and briefly washing up, the news broadcast just ended.
The reason why the guest house in the county has such a high status is that it is equipped with a black and white TV. When Chu Jiu first entered the room, he nodded and said that it was indeed worthy of his expectations for so many years, and fifty yuan was not expensive at all.
The black and white TV can only watch one CCTV. The front desk explained that in remote areas, the only satellite signal is CCTV.
What was playing on the TV was the real and fake Monkey King in "Journey to the West".
The robbers chased Tang Monk and others. Wukong couldn't bear it anymore and killed all the robbers. Tang Monk was furious and drove Wukong away.
The six-eared macaque took the opportunity to transform into Wukong, injured Tang Monk and stole his luggage.
Sha Monk went to Huaguo Mountain and saw the fake Monkey King handing over the four false masters and disciples, claiming that he was going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Sha Monk was furious and beat the fake Monkey King to death, but was defeated by the fake Wukong.
Sha Monk had no choice but to go to Luojia Mountain to sue Wukong at Guanyin, but he saw Wukong complaining in front of Guanyin Lotus Platform. The two cleared up their suspicions and went to Huaguo Mountain to compete with the fake monkey king.
It was difficult for the two monkeys to tell the true from the false, so they went to Guanshiyin for help. The real and false monkey kings fought so hard that it was hard to tell the winner.
The two went to heaven and earth to find the gods to distinguish the true from the false, but to no avail. It was not until the Tathagata in the Western Heaven that the truth became clear.
Wukong killed the fake monkey king, and the six-eared macaques became extinct. Guanyin led Wukong to Tang Monk and asked the master and disciple to reconcile and not to have two minds again.
Maybe it was because they had walked a lot and both of them were a little tired. After Journey to the West ended, I vaguely heard the song "Beautiful Xishuangbanna" playing on the TV, and then I couldn't remember anything else.
I was woken up by a rustling sound, and the room was glowing with a faint white light. The TV signal was interrupted at some point, and snowflakes danced on the screen and made a rustling sound.
After getting up and turning off the TV, I lay on the bed. I didn't feel sleepy for a while. I glanced at Chujiu on the bed next to me. His breathing was fast and slow. It seemed that he didn't sleep well.
I closed my eyes and thought about everything that had happened in the past few days, everyone's words and deeds, everything seemed normal, but also seemed abnormal. I became more and more clueless.
Grandpa, uncle and Master Chimin are eager to leave. What does Grandma Jian Shu’s strange words portend?
"ah!"
Chujiu screamed and sat up from the bed suddenly, which actually startled me.
I looked at Chujiu who was breathing heavily and asked if it was a nightmare?
"Horrible! So scary! Journey to the West is so scary!"
Chujiu's answer left me speechless for a while. After reading Journey to the West several times, I didn't feel that there was anything scary enough to scare Chujiu. The Legend of the Gods is pretty much the same, after all, there are quite a few heart-wrenching torture scenes.
"Guo Guo, there is a problem with the real and fake Monkey King!"
Chujiu picked up the drink on the bedside table, took a few sips, and continued:
"Guo Guo, if you think about it carefully, after the real and fake Monkey King was taken away by Buddha, what is the difference between the Sun Wukong he brought back and the one before?"
Chujiu said that before the real and fake Monkey King incident, Sun Wukong had a bad temper and was decisive and daring. He would punish monsters on the spot when he encountered them. He was also too lazy to explain and always made Tang Monk so angry that he vomited blood.
After the deeds of the real and fake Monkey King, Sun Wukong seemed to be a different person, well-behaved and obedient, and was deeply liked by Tang Monk.
So Tathagata took away Sun Wukong and the six-eared macaque, which actually killed the real Sun Wukong.
Because the real Sun Wukong was disobedient, the fake Sun Wukong was trained by Tathagata to replace him. Tathagata, as the leader of Buddhism, launched a scripture-seeking project in order to make Buddhism flourish.
But Tathagata didn't like the noisy Sun Wukong, so he secretly cultivated a fake Sun Wukong to change the situation!
After Chujiu said this, I tried hard to recall Journey to the West and the novels I had read several times at the village chief's house in Lijia Village, and I quickly understood Chujiu's meaning.
The biggest doubt in this story is the testimony of Tingting. Tingting is the mount of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. He said that he could tell the difference, but he could not tell.
This was probably the doubt that Chujiu couldn't understand the most. He knew why he didn't say anything.
In addition to the analysis before Chujiu, Tathagata deliberately designed this in order to let Liu Er replace Sun Wukong. Di Ting knew about it and did not dare to reveal Tathagata's plan, and indeed he had the most reasonable explanation.
"I really don't know what's in your mind? But I'm sure it's Sun Wukong! It's definitely not a six-eared macaque. It's actually very simple to analyze."
I was completely speechless by the brain circuit of Chujiu. I would consider such a strange problem in my sleep. No wonder I can remember the knowledge I read in Chujiu. This spirit of research is indeed worth learning.
"Guo Guo, tell me, what is a simple method?"
"One blow from the Golden Cudgel cannot kill Sun Wukong."
I told Chujiu three pieces of evidence. The first point is that it was originally written in the book that Taishang Laojun’s diamond bracelet hit Sun Wukong’s head and knocked him unconscious. He didn’t die and nothing happened. Later, Sun Wukong died.
It's making trouble in heaven.
The second point is that the golden cudgel is the divine needle that fixes the sea. It is actually a ruler used by Dayu to control the water and measure the water.
The real Sun Wukong was hit on the head by Laojun's personal magic weapon, but he didn't die. How could he be beaten to death by a ruler and a stick? And Liu'er had never taken any body-building elixirs and was a physical monkey, so a ruler could do it.
Beating him to death is logical.
Third, the six ears have their true form. What is their true form? In fact, there are many plots in the book. After the goblin changes, it will return to its true form after being beaten to death.
For example, the white-bone spirit, the powerful tiger spirit, and the vixen will all turn into animals if they are beaten to death. Because they are not blessed by the transformation technique, they show their true colors.
Sun Wukong is just a monkey, he has no real identity. Even if he is beaten to death, his body will not change.
The original text records:
"As soon as the crowd came forward, they lifted up the alms bowl, and sure enough they saw the original image, which was a six-eared macaque. Sun Dasheng couldn't help it, he picked up the iron rod and hit me to death with one blow on the head. He has never done anything like this before.
It can be seen that when Tathagata's alms bowl was picked up, the six ears showed their true form, which was that of a monkey, that is, they were different from the transformed Sun Wukong.
"Guo Guo, you are still smart. I understood it as soon as you said it, and I continued to sleep."
After listening to my answer, Chujiu smiled foolishly, touched his head, fell down and fell asleep.
But I kept thinking about Chujiu's analysis in my mind, and the more I thought about it, the more horrified I felt.
What Chujiu thinks is more in line with the way superiors deal with things. There are indeed big loopholes in this story. Perhaps only Mr. Wu really knows what the outcome is, but I still firmly believe that the one who obtained the scripture is Sun Wukong.
.
Not long after I fell asleep with my thoughts wandering, I was woken up by Chujiu. Chujiu urged me to get up quickly, otherwise I would miss the bus to Panzhihua. Before the tenth day of the first lunar month, there was only one bus every day.
After checking out, Chujiu sighed. He must be the only person in the village who has stayed in the guest house. His uncle may not have stayed in the guest house. Chujiu promised to stay in this guest house every time he comes back because there is a TV to watch.
On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, I bought two bus tickets to Panzhihua. I said unhappily that the New Year's money was only enough for us to have a meal in Panzhihua.
I promised to go to the bank to withdraw money as soon as I arrived in Panzhihua, and put 500 yuan in his pocket. On the ninth day of the lunar month, I became happy again, completely forgetting that I had a bank card in my backpack, which contained the money he and I made.
The two of us slept all the way on the bus. When we arrived in Panzhihua, it was almost dark. We went to the bank and withdrew a thousand yuan. Chujiu and I each had a huge sum of five hundred yuan in our pockets.
On the way to eat, I passed a small store and saw batteries on the counter. I suddenly remembered that my pager had been out of power for a long time.
After replacing the battery, the pager lit up, and then a series of messages began to beep out.
The latest message was sent by Xiaoyu three days ago:
"If possible, I would like to see you one last time."
