Yishan never expected that Bai Zirou would also be interested in Journey to the West.
On the way, he casually talked about the plot behind it, and then he talked about it all the way to the inn.
"So, this stone monkey is going to the underworld to change the book of life and death?"
Bai Zirou sat on the soft cushion with a focused expression.
Yishan looked around with his eyes on both sides and said:
"Maybe. After all, Stone Monkey has a temper. Knowing that he also has a time limit for life and death, he will definitely go to the underworld to change the book of life and death."
Bai Zirou nodded and asked:
"and after?"
"Later... later I didn't know clearly anymore. Wu Chengen's story is not mine."
Yishan is a little guilty.
Journey to the West, of course he knows.
Not only did he know that, after learning the Creation Hui Yuan Gong, Yi Shanjing’s memory of the books he read in front of him became clearer and clearer.
This is of course also the contribution of the Yuan Gong of the Creation Society.
Even now, if Yi Shanjin is asked to write down the Journey to the West word for word, he can do it.
The number one mysterious skill in the world of immortality is so unreasonable.
But if I keep saying this, there will be no end.
Besides, this is really not his story.
Bai Zirou took a careful look at Yishan Jin and stood up.
"It's fine if you don't want to say anything, disciple."
Seeing Bai Zirou's behavior, Yishan knew that his master didn't believe it at all. This was a story written by Wu Cheng'en.
Yishan definitely said the same thing to Old Man Kaifa, but Old Man Kaifa didn't seem to believe it either.
"However, the heaven in this story does have a certain appearance. If the immortal world is really like this, it might be a good thing that I did not survive the catastrophe and become an immortal and ascend to the immortal world."
Bai Zirou chuckled lightly, not as if he was joking.
Yishan Jin didn't know what the fairy world looked like, but when he heard Bai Zirou talk about her escape from the tribulation, Yishan Jin took the opportunity and asked:
"Actually, my disciple has always had a problem."
Yi Shanjin looked at Bai Zirou's expression and did not refuse, and went deeper into it.
"Why did Master fail to overcome the tribulation?"
Yishan has learned the Creation Hui Yuan Gong and has a little understanding of cultivating immortals.
If you fail to overcome the tribulation, your soul will be lost.
But Bai Zirou is obviously not as simple as failing to overcome the tribulation.
Her realm is still there, but her cultivation is gone, and she is also a good person.
When crossing the heavenly tribulation, something else must have happened.
The fairy walking out of the painting raised her head slightly, thought for a moment, then tilted her head slightly, looked at Yishan Jin and asked:
"Although we are masters and disciples, we are also Taoist couples. Taoist couples should not deliberately hide things, but should be honest with each other, right?"
"It's natural."
Yishan Jin looked serious. Just after he finished speaking, he heard Bai Zirou say:
"Then you said you don't know the story behind Journey to the West, is that false?"
Yishan Jin was stunned and smiled bitterly:
"There is indeed a story behind it, but the original author is indeed Wu Cheng'en. This is not false."
"Where is the Wu Chengen you mentioned now?"
"No longer alive."
In every sense, he is indeed no longer alive. Yishan Jin slightly hesitated and asked:
"But Master doesn't seem like someone who likes to read story books."
Yishan never thought that just copying a famous book would shock the people of this era.
A classic needs precipitation, the author's own precipitation, and the precipitation of time.
The reason why famous books are famous is not that they were famous in their time, but that they can withstand the test of every era in the future.
Only then did he achieve the reputation of a masterpiece.
If you are not a person who loves and studies literature very much, you will just listen to Journey to the West when you hear it.
Bai Zirou is obviously not this type of person.
Sure enough, I saw Bai Zirou pondering slightly, and then said:
"The story is indeed interesting, but what I value more is the message in your story."
Although Yi Shanjin knew that "Journey to the West" tells the story of Buddhism and Taoism, it even contains the practice methods of Buddhism and Taoism.
But that was also explained by people on earth. Does the earth have immortality?
Just listen to Bai Zirou say again:
"Ordinary monks often spend time in seclusion and enlightenment. They don't know the years in the mountains, and they often spend decades sitting in silence. But your story says, 'Difficulties are difficult, and the path is the most mysterious. Don't take the golden elixir for granted. You will never meet the right person.
I think it is better to preach the secrets and empty words while your mouth is tired and your tongue is dry."
Bai Zirou paused briefly and said with a smile:
"It is also said in your story that there are three hundred and sixty side gates in the 'Tao' gate, and all side gates have positive results. Among them, Patriarch Bodhi asked Shihou what method he wanted to learn and which section.
, asking for divination and asking for advice, is the same as today's Taoism; the 'Way of Liu' is to worship the true saint, just like today's Confucianism, the 'Way of Quietness' is to observe the precepts, fast, and sit in meditation, just like today's Buddhism, and the 'Way of Movement' is
"Climbing bows, stepping on crossbows, burning thatch and building cauldrons are in line with the martial arts."
"But of these four, the stone monkey is unwilling to learn any of them. He only asks one question of the Three Thousand Dao Mysterious Arts, can he gain immortality? In this world, no matter whether it is a prince, general, or a villager in the mountains, who doesn't want to live forever?
Isn’t it true that becoming a Buddha, an immortal, or a saint is just for the one hundred years of life?”
"In your story, you dismiss all the four paths of monks, Taoists, Confucianists and martial artists in one breath, including the thoughts of hundreds of schools of thought, practicing meditation, sitting in meditation, and exercising your body and spirit. This is the method that the world thinks can lead to immortality. In your story,
, it’s all a dead end. If that’s all it is, it’s nothing more than a lie.”
"But immediately afterwards, Patriarch Bodhi said: The only method in this world that can lead to longevity is Dharma. If one method is accessible, then all Dharma will be accessible. Only when all Dharmas are enabled can one truly live forever."
Bai Zirou laughed and said:
"Although I don't know whether the immortality technique in Journey to the West is true or false, but Old Man Creation can give you spiritual elixirs such as the Guiyuan Qi Lian Dan, so obviously your story has touched his heart."
Yishan Jin was a little confused just now, but when he heard this, he suddenly realized:
"Master, you mean that after listening to my story about Journey to the West, Old Man Creation was happy to be flattered by me?"
This old man of creation is learning all kinds of Dharma of all things, which is quite similar to the immortality technique mentioned by Yishan Jin.
"I heard Old Man Zaixuan say that he has only a few years to live. That's putting it lightly. It turns out that he is also afraid of death."
Yishan smiled, then thought of a question and asked:
"Wait a minute, if he believes in the longevity technique mentioned in my story, but he himself has already touched and learned all the methods of all things, but still has only a few years to live, shouldn't he be angry after hearing my story?"
Bai Zirou looked at Yishan and said with a smile:
"You just said that one Dharma is accessible to all Dharmas. Old Man Creation has not even mastered one Dharma yet, so he wants to master all Dharmas. To be able to live for such a long time is already a blessing."
When Yishan heard this, he suddenly realized.
But I didn’t expect that there were so many ideological connections in it.
"Your story has aroused the interest of Old Man Creation. You said this story was written by Wu Cheng'en. He doesn't believe it at all. He will definitely come to you to ask about the content behind it. You don't have to say too much. If he comes to you
, it is always beneficial to talk to him a little and get some elixirs."
When Bai Zirou said this, Yi Shanjin chuckled.
Let's put it this way... In the Tianxian Tower before, Old Man Creation listened to Journey to the West and transformed himself!
I'm the best at cheating people.
Anyway, I have only written two chapters of Journey to the West, and there are more to come.
Just listen to Bai Zirou continue to say:
"Okay, disciple, you just took the Guiyuan Qi Training Pill. While the effect of the pill is still there, come quickly and practice double cultivation with me!"
"Okay! The medicine is still strong now, Master, here I come!"
After that, the two of them walked towards the bed.
