Baby Wukong is three and a half years old [Journey to the West]

After finishing the busy work at night, Qiong Qilin was going to sleep, and he was still lingering beside Bodhi for a long time, "Brother, don't forget! Tell Daozu about unblocking me!"

Bodhi tugged at Big Cat's ears, "Seeing that you're doing well today, you didn't fight Ao Chun, and you didn't bully others, so I'll ask you a good question!"

The big cat ran away full of anticipation~

As a result, after Bodhi connected the video to Taoist Hongjun, the old Taoist had a good time and told Bodhi the bad news first.

The scripture learners worked so hard to retrieve the scriptures from the Western Paradise to the Eastern Land, but they were burned by the mortal emperors, and they themselves were arrested and thrown into prison.

Ever since Bodhi took Wukong as his disciple, he devoted all his energy to his young disciples. Although he would occasionally take Wukong to various places to visit his former disciples, he didn't care much about the rise and fall of mortal dynasties.

Back then, when the Shang and Zhou dynasties alternated, how many flesh and blood of his disciples were involved in achieving a list of gods?

So much trouble now that Bodhi is avoiding the rise and fall of mortal dynasties, even to visit his disciples, he rarely wanders around the palace city of the royal capital. Turning around, it was already for Wukong to make an exception.

Therefore, at this time when Taoist Hongjun talked about the emperor of Dongtu, Bodhi was stunned. His impression of Dongtu was still in the Warring States period. "Which little king burned this?"

Daoist Hongjun clicked his tongue twice, stroked his beard and said, "You have to look at the world more or less! This makes you so ignorant, what does it look like! A few years ago, Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, but died in the second generation. The soil is already under the Han family, and the emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty is equal to the Zhou emperor, so where can Xiao Wang come from to compare?"

Bodhi saw that his teacher was very interested in talking, so he smiled and said, "So that's the case, so what did the emperor of the Han family do this time?"

Hongjun Daozu told the inside story once.

But it turned out that the man who learned the scriptures was also unlucky. He was taken by King Kong Zongyun and flew all the way back to his homeland, and he landed in the capital of the Han family at this time.

When he was leaving, he was a native of Qin whose homeland was ruined and his family was ruined. When he came back, Qin was also dead, and no one mentioned his homeland.

After a hard life, there are only two loads of scriptures left!

Standing on the street, a Buddhist learner is really at a loss, how at a loss.

Then he was arrested by the government and thrown into prison because of his weird attire (wearing a monk's robe and shaved head), lack of guidance, and "fabricating up" his own origin.

At first, the servants in the yamen were afraid that he was someone with status because he was neatly dressed (he changed into new clothes after taking a bath in Lingshan), wore a strange fragrance (Lingshan burned incense all the year round, and his clothes and books were inevitably stained), and also carried a lot of books. The "dandy" ran out to mess around, and treated him quite politely.

After taking the Buddhist scriptures to the prison, not only was he locked up in a single room, but according to the requirements of the Buddhist scriptures, "Zhai meal" was delivered every day.

In fact, the food in prison would be good if it wasn't sour rice, where did it come from?

As for the clean food, the jailer just shared some of his own food with him.

The scripture learner had a quiet time in prison, and had time to quietly read all the scriptures he brought back.

But later on, things went wrong.

In winter, the emperor led his army to fight against the Xiongnu. After several victories, his officials kept dissuading him. As a result, he was besieged in Baideng Mountain for seven days and seven nights. In the end, he was able to escape by bribing Chanyu's wife, Yanshi.

After returning to the capital, and wanting to get married again, the emperor's depression never came out, and for some reason, he knew such a "absurd" person as the Buddhist scriptures.

The left and right were probably also trying to make the emperor happy, so they said, "...you are talking nonsense, saying that you set out from the hinterland of the Central Plains and walked for eight full years before you arrived at the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss. Preaching in the East~”

"It's true, he's crazy. If he didn't dress neatly, and he didn't know where he brought two loads of books, he might have been sent to serve his sentence!"

"It's just that the yamen guards have been visiting for a long time, and now they haven't found out which family's son it is."

"It's probably because the family hates him and doesn't want to come out to recognize him. It's poor!"

Liu Bang raised his eyebrows, "Oh, there is such a thing? Call this man and let me have a look, together with his scriptures!"

The left and right hurriedly said, "Your Majesty has a body of ten thousand gold, how good is it to see such crazy people!"

Liu Bang laughed and said, "To talk about madness, I used to be much madder than him. What's wrong with that, go, call someone here!"

Left and right didn't dare to disobey, regretted secretly in their hearts, and didn't dare to play small tricks, so they had to ask someone to take the scripture learner out of prison and bring him into Changle Palace.

At first Liu Bang just wanted to pass the time, but after a few words with the person who learned the scriptures, he deeply felt that this person is really a disaster!

Daoist Hongjun sighed, "He asked the scripture takers, if my people all go to believe in Buddhism and only ask for the afterlife, not this life, who will plant the crops in the field, who will fight the invading Huns, who will build the city walls, and who will build the moats?" Who digs, who makes the weapons?"

Bodhi snorted for a moment, he could already think of the answer from the scripture learner.

It's just that the Tathagata bluffed people with words like "why bother to kill and kill, create boundless murder, and fall into the ghost hell after death" and so on.

If it is said that he will fall into hell if he commits a crime of murder, the person who bears the brunt of it now in Lingshan is Dapeng, beheading him, just to let the world see how the soul after death will fall into the fire of hell forever!

Sure enough, Liu Bang laughed as soon as he heard it, and said, "Master, why don't you go and say these things to the Xiongnu who committed crimes?"

But the people who learned the scriptures said, "The poor monk only saves good fortune!"

Oh ~

Isn't this the meaning of persimmons that only pick soft ones?

You have convinced the people of our country to believe in this Buddhism, and they have become unwilling to make progress, do not do their jobs properly, and accept it. If this is not collaboration with the enemy, what is it?

Liu Bang asked the pilgrim a few more words about the magnificent scenery of the spiritual mountains in the west, and the pilgrim also told what he had seen and heard, and then asked about the customs, mountains and rivers along the way, Xiniu Hezhou, the pilgrim refused to talk about it. , only said, "Your Majesty, the eastern land of Nanzhan Buzhou is so vast, isn't it enough for your imperial majesty?"

"Why bother thinking about the land of Xiniu Hezhou?"

Liu Bang was happy, waved his hand, and asked someone to take the Buddhist scriptures back to the prison.

Then he secretly ordered people to burn all the scriptures with a fire!

Left and right said, "Then this person should also be burned to death?"

Liu Bang recalled that the scripture learner said that he was escorted by Lingshan King Kong when he returned to Dongtu, so he couldn't help thinking, "That's not necessary, let him live, and lock him up for now!"

If he hurt the sutra learner, it would be unbeautiful for King Kong to seek him out to save his life!

Liu Bang's concerns really came true, the jailer got the order to take the Buddhist scriptures away from the prison, took the opportunity to throw kerosene and torches in, and planned to burn it, but who knows that the fire just started, and there were two gold coins. Person A descended out of nowhere, took the two loads of scriptures in the air, and shouted, "Why burn my Lingshan scriptures!"

After saying that, Zongyun went up to the sky and disappeared.

The jailer was so frightened that the souls of the dead trembled, and hurried up to pass.

When Liu Bang heard the news in the palace, he sighed and said, "Shut up the Buddhist scripturer, don't hurt his life, don't let him out, and don't ask anyone to talk to him on weekdays!"

As long as he, the emperor, is still alive, this Buddhist teaching must not be allowed to spread in the country!

When Bodhi heard Jun Daozu say this, he was really shocked by this direction, "Then, is his success or failure in learning the scriptures?"

Daoist Hongjun stroked his beard and said, "It's not finished yet!"

"The person who learns the scriptures doesn't have a photographic memory. He has read all the scriptures, and now they are all in his mind. It depends on who lived longer, he or the emperor of the Han Dynasty!"

"If he can live until the next emperor enthrones and amnesties the world, then he may still be able to preach among the people when he comes out."

……

This matter is so troublesome, really, Bodhi choked and didn't know what to say.

Just give the word "back luck" to the learners!

Bodhi sighed, "The Tathagata, who is so compassionate and joyful, is he okay?" The person who learned the scriptures failed to learn the scriptures, is he overjoyed?

Daoist Hongjun smiled and said, "How do I know that, if you want to see if he can do it, why don't you just go to Lingshan to see it yourself?"

He is not going!

Bodhi pouted, "I don't care about him!"

Hongjun Daozu said, "But Guanyin asked Tathagata to send him to Nanzhan Buzhou to guard the Buddhist scriptures. It will take a while."

Bodhi laughed, "Wait for the golden cicada to reincarnate, I guess the Tathagata will be more cautious and choose a peaceful year!"

"Otherwise, if you meet another emperor with such a murderous spirit, wouldn't this Buddhist scripturer have to be imprisoned again?"

Hong Jundao smiled and said nothing.

It's fine to watch the excitement, and it would be unkind to be mean to others.

It's just that the great cause of learning from scriptures has gone round and round in waves, which is really depressing.

Bodhi sighed, "This is really a lot of trouble!"

Hongjun Taoist also sighed, "I still hope that he can succeed!" Sincerely!

Bodhi said solemnly, "Students too!"

The master and apprentice looked at each other, and both smiled maliciously.

It's just that they don't have too many worries. It's man-made. They have done everything they can. After that, it depends on God's will!

But speaking of it, Bodhi frowned and said, "Isn't this the will of heaven the meaning of the way of heaven? Teacher, you can't even take care of it?"

The old Daoist blew his beard and stared, "How can you interfere with the way of heaven! Don't wishful thinking!"

Bodhi muttered a few words, changed the subject, and talked about unblocking Qiongqi, "This Ao Chun is tall and big. Although he looks like a boy, he is almost as tall as Nezha. Qi is naturally envious and jealous, so he came to me and asked me to help him undo some seals and grow taller!"

Daozu Hongjun said, "So that's how it is. It's just that I only sealed their ferociousness back then, but the ones on the other side didn't move at all. Since he wants to grow taller, he's just like Nezha. He just needs to practice hard and don't need to move the seal." !"

Bodhi was taken aback, "Is that so? Then why have they been in the Zixiao Palace for so many years, and they have always looked like little boys?"

Daoist Hongjun let out an ah, stroked his beard and said, "Maybe it's to please me?" Children always want to be more likable, right?

……

Bodhi was very speechless, but Hongjun Daozu added, "As for Qiongqi, maybe he is just a tendon?" He thought he was sealed, but he didn't practice hard for so many years, so he couldn't grow up. high.

Bodhicitta said, if you just call him stupid, it's over!

Daoist Hongjun asked his apprentice after finishing his business, "Why didn't you see Wukong tonight?"

Bodhi said, "I don't think you have to tell me something that the child can't listen to, so I told him to go to sleep next to him!"

Then he showed off to the teacher, "The old Dragon King came to send his son off, and he also brought a little dragon from the West Sea. It's not too big, it's super cute, and it's a little fat man in human form!"

Daoist Hongjun raised his eyebrows, "But the third son of Ao Run's family?"

Bodhi died, "Teacher, why do you know everything!"

Hongjun Taoist said with a smile, "I don't know much!" There are only a few!

The master and apprentice chatted a few more words, then turned off the water mirror.

Then Tianqiong came to ask Bodhi happily, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother, what did the Taoist ancestor say?"

Bodhicitta said that I can't tell the truth, so I fooled Qiongqi and said, "Close your eyes, and I will untie them for you!"

Qiongqi was overjoyed, and asked again and again, "Is the original form better, or the human form convenient?"

Bodhi said, "Naturally, it's better to turn into the original body!"

The big cat rolled over to reveal its real body, and sat upright in front of Bodhi. Bodhi sighed in his stomach, stretched out his sword finger, and injected a cool air into Qiongqi's body. After a while, he said, "Okay." Already!"

The big cat only felt a chill all over its body, and the hair on its back was fried. After a while, it calmed down. When it heard Bodhi's movement, it opened its eyes, touched its chest with its paws and said, "The seal of Daozu is really cruel. I was so scared that I felt cold all over!"

Bodhi suppressed a smile and said, "Unlock the seal, let's practice for a while, and after a while, you will be able to grow taller!"

Qiongqi's cat's eyes widened, "Hey? Isn't it possible to unseal the seal and release the energy I have sealed up, so that I can grow taller immediately?"

Bodhi gave him a big neck, "You are so beautiful, you still grow taller, why don't you say that you will break the seal and give back your strength, and you will become a saint directly!"

"Get lost and practice, if you don't practice, you won't grow taller in 500 years!"

The big cat ran away crying, "You lied to me!!!"

Bodhi laughed aloud: This also makes this stupid cat smart?

Qiongqi grew taller that day after breaking the seal, and his dream of crushing Ao Chun was shattered. He had no choice but to go to retreat to practice in desperation. Let out harsh words, "If I don't grow taller, I won't come out!"

Bodhi didn't care about him, and went with Qiongqi, and when the big cat left, he called Guanglin again, and said to the big apprentice, "Originally, the master thought that the Lingshan matter was over, so he didn't worry about telling you to go out, but yesterday Son, your master ancestor said, they are still not finished, they are dawdling, and they don’t know when they will get there, so I am a little worried about you going out."

"Why don't you ask Hetong to deliver things this time?"

Guanglin smiled and said, "Master said this, I am a senior brother, I should be the one to take over if something happens!"

"Furthermore, Master has given me Lingtai Mountain. Is it possible that I dare not go to my dojo because I am afraid of causing trouble at Lingtai Mountain? Then it is too ridiculous to say this!"

Bodhi asked the big apprentice to say this, and he couldn't help but also laughed, patted Guanglin on the shoulder and said, "My apprentice has ambition, if this is the case, then you go, bring your two little apprentices back, and wait for you to be by your side after apprenticeship." Teach one or two, and then let it out!"

Guanglin said, "Master, those two children are the only ones in command at Lingtai Mountain. If they come back with me, will the remaining little monsters be brought back too?"

Bodhi thought, ouch, the six-eared macaque is also there!

It's just that this monkey has changed a lot of his temper since he came to Biyou Palace and studied with Yuanshi Tianzun for a period of time...

Bodhi thought about the teacher's usual attitude, and sighed, "It's fine to bring it back. If there are good seedlings in there, if you are in love, you can also accept them as apprentices, even if you don't want to be a direct disciple. It's good too!"

Guanglin laughed and said, "As soon as the master said, I really remembered some spiritual ones, so I'll go now!"

Bodhi nodded, "Be careful on the way back and forth. If something happens to you, send a water mirror to Master, and don't resist yourself!"

Guanglin agreed unanimously, bid farewell to Master, took his things, and went all the way to Lingtai Mountain.
