Chapter 51: Conquering the Bull with Virtue(1/3)

As soon as Patriarch Bodhi started speaking, the battle with the Bull Demon King suddenly became unpleasant.

Huang Shang's cultivation in the Six Paths of Reincarnation has already become extremely exquisite, and he has no problem multi-tasking. The fight over there was so shocking that ghosts and gods wept, and here he immediately abandoned his confinement nun's tools and went to the Dharma altar.

When we arrived, Patriarch Bodhi was already giving a lecture.

The sky is filled with flowers and golden lotuses are blooming on the ground. The exaggeration is as if special effects have been added.

But Huang Shang listened carefully and immediately knew that what this person was talking about was true.

The so-called wonderful three-vehicle teachings are all subtle and complete. The Bodhi Patriarch is proficient in both Buddhism and Taoism. He can teach Taoism for a while and Zen for a while. He can enlighten the truth with one word and guide the mysterious nature of non-birth.

Huang Shang listened nearby and couldn't help but gain a lot.

The six-eared macaque is a wild man. He learns a move here and learns a move there, which is not a systematic approach.

Patriarch Bodhi is undoubtedly a master of systematic teaching. What he teaches starts from the shallower to the deeper, and points to the right path.

No matter what kind of creature, hearing such truth, they can't help but be happy.

He is a psychic stone monkey, born wild and unrestrained. When he hears the wonderful things, he scratches his ears and cheeks, smiles, can't help but dance, and does ninety-nine and eighty-one somersaults.

Patriarch Bodhi glanced at it and shouted: "Wukong, why are you dancing so wildly and excitedly?"

"Nonsense, you try to be a nine-year confinement nanny, I will mop the floor of this altar!"

Huang Shang complained in his heart, but clasped his hands together: "Disciple listened sincerely and heard Master's wonderful voice. He was so happy that he did not realize that he was so excited!"

Patriarch Bodhi said: "Since you know the wonderful sound, let me ask you, how long have you been in the cave?"

Huang Shang answered with the counting method of a housekeeper: "The disciple was ignorant at first. He didn't know how many seasons it was. He only remembered that there was no fire under the stove. He often went to the back of the mountain to collect firewood. When he saw a mountain of good peach trees, he ate there nine times and was full of peaches.

That’s it.”

I have been a member of Taobao for nine years!

Patriarch Bodhi was somewhat emotional when he heard this: "That mountain is called Roland Peach Mountain. Since you have eaten it nine times, I think it has been nine years. What do you want to learn from me now?"

What do you mean, I ate rotten peaches?

This question and answer originally shocked the other disciples. The master had never looked at them in such a different light. He was still a monkey monster, but after hearing these words, he understood.

After all, he has been working as a coolie in the mountains for nine years. He has been the leader of many things and taken good care of everyone. It’s time to pass on some of his skills.

Huang Shang rolled his eyes and said: "But based on the teachings of the respected master, the disciples just learned it with a little bit of Taoism."

To sum it up: whatever.

The disciples felt that this monkey knew etiquette very well, and then listened to Patriarch Bodhi's sermon: "There are three hundred and sixty side gates in the Taoist Gate, and all side gates have positive results. I wonder which one you want to learn?"

Huang Shangdao: "With respect for the master's wishes, the disciples will listen wholeheartedly."

Again casual.

Patriarch Bodhi said: "How about I teach you the art of Shuzi?"

Huang Shangdao: "What do you mean by the way of martial arts?"

Patriarch Bodhi said: "In the Shuzi Sect, you can ask the Immortal Fuluan and ask for divination (shé shi). You can know the principles of pursuing good luck and avoiding bad luck."

Huang Shang asked a classic question: "Can you live forever like this?"

Patriarch Bodhi shook his head: "No."

Huang Shang immediately said: "If you don't learn, don't learn!"

All the disciples were startled.

Didn’t you just show some righteousness and honor your master?

But thinking about it, asking an immortal for divination is really not on the table, so that’s it.

Patriarch Bodhi didn't say anything and continued to ask: "How about teaching you the way of the Liuzi Sect?"

Huang Shang asked again: "What is Liuzimen?"

Patriarch Bodhi said: "In the Liuzi sect, people learn from Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Yin-Yang, Mohism, and doctors. They read the sutras, recite the Buddha's name, and pay homage to the true saints."

Huang Shang asked again: "Is it possible to live forever like this?"

The Patriarch said: "No."

Huang Shang refused more decisively: "Then don't learn! Don't learn!"

All the disciples looked askance.



"How about I teach you the music in Jingzimen?"

"If you don't learn, don't learn!"

All the disciples clenched their fists.



"How about I teach you the art of moving words?"

"If you don't learn, don't learn!"

All the disciples stared angrily.



Leveraging mode is on.

They don’t learn anyway.

Free is the most expensive, casual is the most difficult, this is true throughout the ages.

Of course, the reason for Huang Shang's refusal can also be condensed into a very powerful sentence:

Three thousand avenues, I just want to ask, can you get immortality?

Not allowed?

Don’t imitate your sister!

However, after a series of casualness and lack of learning, Patriarch Bodhi jumped directly from the high platform with a loud voice, with a strong posture and a ruler in hand: "You hozen, you don't learn this way, you don't learn that way, how can you do it?"

When Huang Shang saw him coming over, he probably wanted to hit him three times in a classic way.

I wonder if the sequel to Journey to the West was inspired by this...

Although I know it's not the case, does it sound much more high-end if you talk about it this way?

Bang!

But this time, Patriarch Bodhi just hit him on the forehead, then walked inside with his hands behind his back, closed the middle door, and left the disciples behind.

All the disciples were dumbfounded, gathered around, and started complaining: "You are such a monkey, Master teaches you Taoism, why don't you learn it, but talk back to Master?"

Just complaining, those who became immortals early showed even more contempt and disgust.

"Violence on campus! Bullying of weak monkeys!"

Huang Shang was not annoyed at all.

You don't even have a name, why should I be upset?

By the way, the plot has really changed a lot. Patriarch Bodhi was supposed to hit him three times and teach him to go into the room at the third watch to preach, receive karma and resolve doubts, but now it has changed. Does this mean the first watch?

As for the one who walked inside with his hands behind his back and closed the middle door, he was taught to enter through the back door without telling the other disciples, so there was no difference.

"Wait a minute, maybe it's not an update, it's a wholehearted decision, take action now!"

Huang Shang frowned and made an immediate decision. He took a detour and took the old path to the back door. When he saw that the door was indeed ajar, he ducked in.

When I arrived at Patriarch Bodhi's room, I saw him sitting on the couch, closing his eyes and concentrating.

Huang Shang did not interrupt and waited silently.

After a while, the man chanted to himself and opened his eyes: "The Tao is the most mysterious. Don't take the golden elixir for granted. If you don't meet a wise person to tell you the secret, you will be tired of talking and your tongue will be dry!"

The boss took a nap, but he was so different. When he woke up, he would recite poems.

Huang Shang hurriedly held this piece in his hands and said, "Master, I have been waiting here for a long time."

Patriarch Bodhi seemed to have just seen him and asked: "What is this hozen doing behind me?"

Huang Shangdao: "The master spoke to everyone in front of the altar, taught his disciples to pursue the Tao wholeheartedly, and taught me the truth through the back door, so he is so bold!"

Patriarch Bodhi had a look of relief on his face: "As expected of the born of heaven and earth, the luminous stone monkey can solve the dark mystery in my plate!"

It's so different and reasonable for a big boss to open a small stove.

Huang Shang arched his paws: "There are no six ears here, only one disciple. I hope the master will be merciful and teach the disciple the way to live forever!"

This is a line from the original plot, but now it's quite interesting.

Patriarch Bodhi nodded: "You are destined now, and I am also happy to say that I will teach you the wonderful way of immortality. Please listen carefully. The true secret of sutra, secret and perfection, there is no other way to cherish your life, and you will always be energetic. I sincerely

Don't let it leak if it's firmly hidden..."

Huang Shang knew that this was a wonderful inner elixir, so he listened attentively and compared it with his own practice.
To be continued...
