The rumored third prince

Sun Wukong poked his head up and waved, his face was disheveled, and some weeds grew again. Jin Chanzi stopped a few feet away, not daring to go forward, carefully holding the rein to look at it.

I patted Jin Chanzi on the shoulder, said "Don't be afraid, elders," and then went forward to clean up the weeds by Sun Wukong's sideburns. I took out a handkerchief and wiped the sand on his face patiently.

Sun Wukong stared at me for a long time, looked away, and shouted: "That monk, come forward, I have something to ask you."

Jin Chanzi moved forward a little, poked his head out and asked, "Do you have anything to ask me?"

Sun Wukong looked at Jin Chanzi, fell silent for a moment, and then asked the question that he already had an answer in his heart: "Are you a Buddhist monk who went from the east to the west to worship Buddha?"

The fear on Jin Chanzi's face dissipated a little, and she stepped forward with her Zen staff in hand, bowed slightly and said, "It's the poor monk, what do you do?"

Sun Wukong put his eyes on the Jiuxi Zen stick, then looked up at the clouds in the sky, and said:

"I was originally the great sage who troubled the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago, but I was oppressed by the Tathagata because of my deceitful deceit. Avalokitesvara of the South China Sea went to the East to find sutras and passed by here. She advised me not to do any more violence and convert to Buddhism. , Be an apprentice with the Buddhist monk, and protect him to go west to worship Buddha. It will be beneficial for him to succeed. Therefore, I am waiting here until the master comes today. I am willing to be an apprentice with you, and protect you from the evil spirits when you travel west. .”

Jin Chanzi was overjoyed when he heard the words, but when he looked at the mountain peak that was rising to the sky, he felt sad again: "It's a good thing that you are willing to convert, but I don't have an ax to chisel, how can I save you by digging up the mountain?"

"You don't need a knife, you don't need an ax, you don't need a chisel," Sun Wukong said with a smile, "If you are willing to save me, I will come out."

"I'll save you, but how did you come out?" Jin Chanzi had an earnest expression and sincere words as it was rare to have a partner who couldn't leave.

Sun Wukong truthfully told the story of the Tathagata inscribed with golden characters on the top of the mountain. After Jin Chanzi heard it, he turned around and begged me to go up the mountain with him again. .

A yellow seal was pasted on the square stone on the top of the mountain, and the six-character mantra on the cover revealed a thousand auras of auspiciousness and a myriad of rays of light, which made Jin Chanzi approach the stone and bow deeply, begging:

"Disciple Xuanzang, seeking scriptures according to the decree, if there is a master-student relationship with the stone monkey at the foot of the mountain, let the disciple uncover the gold sticker, save him from freedom, and witness the Lingshan Mountain together, and complete the Dao; if there is no master-student relationship, then If you deceive your disciples, you will not be able to expose them."

After praying, Jin Chanzi went forward to remove the gold lettering, and suddenly a gust of wind blew the gold lettering up into the clouds.

Wufang Jiedi accepted the post, cleared the clouds and showed up: "We are the ones who are ordered to imprison the Great Sage. Today the Great Sage is not full. We should also see the Tathagata and submit this post."

With these words, Jin Chanzi trembled and bowed to the sky, and after a while he went down the mountain to tell Sun Wukong that the sticker had been removed.

"Master, please go away, I will come out, don't disturb you."

Jin Chanzi got on his horse and drove him seven or eight miles away. Sun Wukong shouted: "Let's go!" Through the clouds.

Monkey King flipped two somersaults among the flying rocks, and when he landed, he neatly dressed in plain clothes and bowed to Jin Chanzi: "Master, I'm out." Then he turned around and sang to me.

"Brother Lao Lao sent my master to pick grass for me." Pulling me aside, he said in a low voice, "I know you. I can recognize you based on how you have changed in the past 500 years."

If you recognize it, you will recognize it, why bother to speak clearly?

"So what if you recognize me, so what if you don't recognize me? I can't save you either." Thinking of Jin Chanzi's talkative temperament that even gave me a headache, I sighed and said:

"Although you are a celestial being, after all you have no celestial salary, and you are still like Taiyi Sanshu. This time, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, and hundreds of thousands of miles are difficult and dangerous. In a single thought, even if you have all kinds of supernatural powers, you are still there. It takes heart and patience to achieve a great job and a positive result.”

Sun Wukong lowered his head and smiled, without saying a word, he turned around and went to pack his luggage with Jin Chanzi. The horse saw him but was so weak that he couldn't stand up. It was probably because he still had some of the rules he had when he was a Bi Mawen. I am very afraid of him.

After the two tidied up, Jin Chanzi came to thank me, whispered a few words, his words became more and more frequent, I glanced at Monkey King sympathetically, and hurriedly found a reason to leave.

Such ramblings, I hope Sun Wukong learns well, and the three precious hoops of Guanyin of the South China Sea don't need to be used on him.

Otherwise, wouldn't life be worse than death along the way?

Thinking of this, I looked more and more sympathetically at their backs as they walked away, turned back into their original bodies, and turned to the sky.

Four-valued meritorious service, five directions Jiedi, six Ding Liujia, and eighteen guardians Jialan.

A total of 39 fairy families, following the decree of the Tathagata, went to protect the golden cicada, and they left the West Heaven Gate in clusters of auspicious clouds.

When I returned to the mansion, I saw that there were no new documents on the desk, so I took two volumes of ancient books and went to the lotus pond behind the mansion to read to pass the time.

Inexplicably exhausted, I think the girl in the dream is causing trouble.

I slowly put the book aside, confidently moved to the small couch under the tree, lay down and fell asleep, and watched the girl who hadn't moved for 500 years, how she was doing today.

Sure enough, I just closed my eyes and entered the sea of ​​consciousness, when I heard a delicate voice from behind: "My lord..." A heat wave swayed and a gust of wind blew in, before I raised my eyes, He felt his arm being held by someone.

Opening his eyes, he turned his face slightly, but it was the little beauty lying in the rocky waves that day.

I said, "Are you awake?"

"I've been waiting for you for thousands of years, but you don't come to see me." The girl let go of her hands, and turned to me, with her hands behind her back, with a bitter face: "I still need to call you to sleep, it's so heartless, it hurts me so much Heart."

I was silent for a while, and asked, "You're looking for me just to talk about this?"

After a long silence, the girl curled her lips: "You haven't forgotten me, I'm very happy!"

I said something uncertain in a very positive tone: "I think this sentence should not be said to me."

"It doesn't matter, the dust is about to settle, and we all have a bright future." After she finished speaking, she leaned on her shoulder with her left hand, bowed slightly, stepped back slowly, and then disappeared.

I opened my eyes in sedation, picked up the book, and flipped through it casually, thinking about the true meaning of the phrase 'the dust is about to settle'.

****

During the three or five days of leisure, Sun Wukong's name was resounded in the heavenly court in a different way. I stayed at the gate of the mansion without leaving the door, and I was forced to listen to the fairy servants talking about him every day.

First, he knocked down Zhen Yuanzi's ginseng fruit tree, and asked the immortals everywhere, and it was Nanhai Bodhisattva who rescued him; because he killed the goblin, he was chanted eight hundred times by the golden cicada, and then he was driven back to Huaguo Mountain to become a goblin.

Generally speaking, good things never go out, and bad things spread far and wide.

Today's court meeting was halfway through, and the four great celestial masters came into the palace to report that it was Sun Wukong who protected Tang Monk from traveling to Baoxiang Kingdom. Yes, come to investigate.

The Jade Emperor listened to the music and summoned Kehan ​​Sizhangren Zhenjun, and investigated the situation of Putian Xiansheng's on-the-job Dianmao. None of them was out of position. Only Kui Mulang in the 28th Su, failed to do Dianmao three times, so far he is thirteen day.

This Guixing...

Hearing the report from my father-in-law Zhenjun, I felt a bit of a headache, and then I listened to the Jade Emperor's order: "Nezha, the third prince, quickly take him to the upper realm!"

I received the decree here, ordered the remaining 27 nights to go out of the Tianmen, taught them to recite the spell, and called the Kuimu wolf to return to the upper realm.

Kui Mulang was frightened by Sun Wukong, and hid in the fog where the wind gathers energy in the mountain stream, not daring to move. He only showed his head when he heard the call from the Xingjun of the headquarters, and taught them to come up.

When Sun Wukong saw Kuimu Lang, he didn't pay attention to politeness. He held up the golden cudgel in front of the gate of heaven and was about to hit him. I gritted my teeth to stop him and said: "The great sage fights slowly, the gods from the upper realm are causing trouble in the lower realm, and the Jade Emperor needs to deal with it." !" Then the Kui Mulang was escorted to the Jade Emperor.

Kui Mulang was also obedient, bowing his head and pleading guilty when he entered the hall.

The Jade Emperor asked: "The heavenly palace is boundless, and you don't want to use it. Why do you go down to the realm in private?"

"Your Majesty, pardon me!" Kui Mulang poked his head and said in a low voice, "The princess of the Baoxiang Kingdom is not a mortal girl, but a maidservant of the Fragrance Palace. Let's go ahead and reincarnate the royal family, but I don't want to let go of my former love, so I turned into a ghost, occupied a mountain, captured her, and became a husband and wife for thirteen years."

The Pixiang Temple is relatively remote, and not close to the 28th Palace, so why did they have an inexplicable love affair with Kuimu Lang?

Although I have doubts about these words, but since the maidservant has thrown away her immortal status, it is useless to go into the details. Kui Mulang is indispensable in Simu Qinxing, and he must be killed first. .

The Jade Emperor may have the same thought, saying that every drink and peck is predetermined.Received the gold medal, demoted Kui Mulang and went to Lihentian to be a boy who made a fire for the Taishang Laojun.

The golden boy and silver boy who made fire in Taishang Laojun's house were also ordered to go down to the realm a few days ago, took Taishang Laojun's treasure, and occupied the cave on Pingdingshan, and now they are waiting for Monkey King to give it to him when he passes by there. Tim block it.

Sun Wukong didn't know what was going on here, so he happily sang to the Jade Emperor, bid farewell to all the immortals, and swaggered out of the Lingxiao Palace.

The four celestial masters laughed and said: "This monkey still doesn't make progress, and he doesn't know how to thank him for taking the ghost for him."

The Jade Emperor shook his head and sighed: "Only he is fine, let's just settle down."

About an hour after the court meeting ended, Taibai Jinxing drove slowly to the mortal realm on a cloud, and another hour later, Taishang Laojun hurriedly left Tushita Palace, left the West Heaven Gate and went straight to the lower realm, but teach me It's a surprise.

When Laojun turned around in the auspicious cloud, Jintong tugged at Laojun's sleeves, sobbing and choking, while Yintong sat on the head of the cloud and kicked his feet, snot and tears.

Hmm... Yintong held the purple gold gourd and wanted to accept Sun Wukong to let out a sigh of relief, but Sun Wukong used his own way to cure him, and he had no profound magic power, so he taught him to hold the gourd to give lessons , Shake it, wouldn't it turn into water?

The golden boy was holding the Seven Star Sword and the fairy rope, and wanted to avenge the silver boy, but he was taken away... So there was this crying scene, which was added to the world for nothing. There was a downpour.

Seeing the commotion, it was still early, and I took Crane Cloud to gossip about the King of Heaven again at Nantianmen. Unexpectedly, before an hour had passed, Monkey King hurried up again, and after a few gossips, flashed He went to Lihentian and asked the old gentleman for the soul-reviving pill to save the life of the Wuji king.

I know the lord who needs to be saved, but he was good at fasting monks, and the Buddha wanted Manjusri to go to the west to ferry him back to the west and prove his status as a golden arhat, but Manjusri could not see him in person, so he turned into an ordinary monk to go , asked him to beg for some fast food, as usual, he was embarrassed by words, and if he could accept it, he returned to the west heaven. Who knew that the king was so angry that he ordered people to tie up Manjushri and throw him into the moat.

Manjusri Bodhisattva came in an ordinary body, unable to move, and was immersed in the river for three full days and nights. Fortunately, Liujia God passed by and rescued him, so he did not teach this incarnation to drown in the river.

When the Tathagata heard the news, he ordered the green-haired lion to redeem his sins, go to the middle of the black chicken country, push the king into the well, soak for three years, and avenge Manjusri's three-day flood.

It just so happened that the Wuji Kingdom was on the westbound road, so it was just a difficult situation for Jin Chanzi.

Ever since the Kuimu wolf incident, Sun Wukong seemed to have touched some mechanism. All the goblins with treasures in the lower realm would come to heaven for help if they couldn't fight for a few rounds.

For example, the ox spirit in the Jindou Cave of Jinluan Mountain, although it is indeed Taishang Laojun’s house, we really have no way to do it in his circle. In that circle, Laojun has to be responsible for everything. Go out on horseback.

The wool of the Bodhisattva of the South China Sea can also be harvested by the whole family. Laojun’s boy, Qingniu, can get rid of everything; even the fish raised in her own Guangming Pond, and the golden-haired roar raised in the purple bamboo forest; Manjusri Bodhisattva can't escape either, he has already been beaten by Monkey King several times with a mount that has been used repeatedly, and at Shituoling, it is estimated that he will have to be beaten by Monkey again!

However, after only two days of effort, Monkey King came again. The difference from before was that there was a bit more noise this time.

Early in the morning, I was washing and washing, and I heard the movement of swords and soldiers in the distance. When I went out to take a look, I saw two Monkey Kings fighting at the Nantian Gate with their luck.

This excitement is rare! ! !

"I am real!"

"I'm real! You're fake!"

"You are fake! I am real!"

......

Two monkeys, holding the sea god precious iron with two shots, beat and cursed in the middle of the sky, and even spoke in unison, they broke into the Lingxiao Palace all the way, provoking the Jade Emperor to be furious, and cursed loudly, and then borrowed Li Jing's demon mirror to take a picture. After a while, the two people in the mirror are exactly the same, and they can't tell the truth from the fake.

The Jade Emperor angrily drove the two out and told them to fight elsewhere.

Outside the hall, I looked at the two monkeys whose words and deeds were exactly the same, and suddenly I was so blessed that I gave them an idea: "Under the table of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, there is a divine beast listening. If the listening is lying on the ground, it will only take a moment. Then you can listen to everything in the world, observe good and evil, and distinguish between fools and virtuous people."

"According to what the third prince said, do you dare to go to the underworld with me to find out!"

"Why don't you dare!"

"Go! You fake!"

"You are a fake!"

"You are fake! I am real!"

The two monkeys cursed again and beat out the Nantian Gate from the Lingxiao Palace, from east to west, from the sky to the ground, when they saw the golden cicada, the two monkeys went down to pay respects very politely, He should also be asked to discern the truth from the false.

I just watch you act!

Not to my surprise, after the two of them hit Yincao, Di Ting did hear the truth, but due to the low mana of Yingui, he was afraid that if he revealed the truth, it would bring disaster to the underworld, so he led the disaster to Daleiyin Temple inside.

When I went there, in Leiyin Temple, there were countless monks such as the Four Great Bodhisattvas, the Eight Great Vajras, the Five Hundred Arrows, the Three Thousand Jiedi, Bhikkhuni, Bhikshu Beast, Upasaka, and Upasika gathered at the Tathagata's seven-color lotus platform. Next, listen to the Dharma.

Just when he was talking about the wonderful point, there were shouts of fighting and scolding from outside the treasure temple, and the Tathagata left the throne and said with a smile to everyone: "Wait for a one-hearted person, and watch the two-minded quarrel."

When everyone heard the words, they looked out and saw two Monkey Kings arguing, fighting and cursing.

King Kong rushed to stop him, but one Monkey King couldn't stop him, let alone the two who were insane?

The two monkeys shouted: "The goblin has changed my appearance to make trouble. Now I am under the Baolian platform. Please come and tell the truth for me."

Immediately afterwards they shouted in unison: "Disciple protects Monk Tang, comes to the treasure temple, seeks the truth, and spends countless energy to subdue demons and subdue demons along the way. A few days ago, I encountered strong bandits by chance, and it was my disciple who injured them. Master will not tolerate it any longer." The disciples walked together. In desperation, he had to go to the South China Sea to complain to the Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva said that the master was in trouble, and the goblin pretended to be a disciple, knocked down the master, and robbed the luggage. Brother Sha found Huaguo Mountain, and the goblin lied to him. A real monk to learn the scriptures. Wujing escaped to the South China Sea to prepare for the past. Guanyin knew this and ordered his disciples to return to Huaguo Mountain with Wujing to discern the facts. Therefore, the struggle continued, just to distinguish the true from the false. Discernment. Therefore, I boldly visit the treasure temple of Lingshan, Wanwang Tathagata opens the door of expediency, and distinguishes good from evil with his disciples, so as to protect Tang monks who come to ask for the real scriptures, send them back to the east, and promote the great teaching!"

When the sound fell to the ground, Avalokitesvara from the South China Sea came among the colorful clouds. Tathagata asked her, "Venerable Avalokitesvara, can you tell the truth of these two practitioners?"

Avalokitesvara clasped her hands together and shook her head: "I really can't identify it, so I'm here to ask the Tathagata, and I must distinguish it with him."

Tathagata smiled and said: "You have great powers, you can only read about the things in the sky, but you can't understand the types of the sky."

Well, it looks like he is going to cover up for the monkey to find a remedy.

The Bodhisattva is as good as a stream: "Ask the Tathagata, what are the types of heavenly circles!"

"In Zhoutian, there are five immortals of heaven, earth, gods, humans and ghosts; there are five insects with scales, feathers, and insects. This guy is not five immortals, not five insects, and there are also four monkeys in the world, who do not belong to the ten categories."

here we go......

Avalokitesvara humbly asked for advice: "Dare to ask Tathagata, what are the four monkeys in the world?"

"The first is the Lingming stone monkey, which can pass through changes. When the sky dawns, it can know the location and move the stars to change battles."

Well, knowing that Monkey King has the same name, this Lingming stone monkey is almost called Monkey King.

"The second is the red-legged horse monkey, who understands Yin and Yang, understands human affairs, is good at going in and out, and avoids death and prolongs life; the third is the back-to-back ape, who grasps the sun and the moon, shrinks thousands of mountains, distinguishes between bad and bad, and manipulates the universe."

The four strong generals on Huaguo Mountain, two red-tailed horse monkeys, two open-backed apes, Xiao Yin and Yang, it is true to distinguish between good and bad, and the others... a little bit counts, except that they are stronger than ordinary monkeys, and they are not as good as ordinary monkeys. the difference.

"The fourth is the six-eared macaque, good at listening, able to understand, knowing before and after, and all things are clear."

With the keenness of the macaque king, when Huaguo Mountain was besieged by hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers, he could find a way out. How could he come to Lingshan to die?If it's really him, there must be something tricky inside.

"These four monkeys do not belong to the ten categories, and do not reach the name of the two realms. In my view, the fake Wukong is a six-eared macaque. If this monkey stands in one place, it can know things thousands of miles away. Ordinary people can also speak. I know it, so I am good at listening to sounds, able to observe the reason, knowing before and after, everything is clear. The one who has the same sound and image as the real Wukong is also the six-eared macaque.”

When the Tathagata revealed the true nature of the fake Wukong, the fake Ji jumped up, jumped up and was about to leave. At this moment, I found that there was a trace of aura in his eyes, and compared with the previous appearance, he seemed a little dull.

But this fake jump was so fast that Tathagata was afraid of losing him, so he hurriedly ordered the monks to stop him.

When Sun Wukong raised his stick and stepped forward, Tathagata stopped him and said, "Wukong, wait a moment, wait for me to take him with you."

As soon as the words fell, the fake monkey turned into a flying insect and disappeared from everyone's eyes. Tathagata threw up the golden bowl in his palm calmly, and put the flying insect under the bowl.

Someone stepped forward and lifted the bowl, and it turned out that the six-eared macaque was in it, with blank eyes and trembling.

When Sun Wukong saw it, Ding Haishen Zhentie immediately came out, and immediately hit the little monkey and disappeared.

"Excellent! Excellent!" Tathagata had a look of impatience on his face: "Wukong, why did you beat him to death!"

Sun Wukong took the golden cudgel away, and said in his mouth: "The Tathagata shouldn't pity him. He injured Tang Monk and robbed him of his burden. According to the law, he should be pushed to be executed outside the Meridian Gate."

The law is not as tolerant as Buddhism, and the Tathagata couldn't discern the reason in this world, so he started to chase away the guests: "Go and protect Tang Seng to come to me for sutras!"

"Appeal to Tathagata." Sun Wukong clasped his palms together, his expression very serious: "The Tang Monk doesn't want me, and I'm going, he will definitely not keep me. In the past, he was angry when he refused to obey his words and actions. The story goes, there is no tolerance at all, in order to avoid headaches, he fulfilled his wish, he refused to listen to the advice, taught the goblin to arrest him, and also came to blame me for being slow in saving him, causing him to suffer and suffer. Why bother now Wasting all this thinking? I just hope that the Tathagata will loosen the bandage on the old grandson's head and let me go back to the mountain."

Don't ask right or wrong, even if you are angry, you still have to chant the mantra to grind him?

Thinking that Sun Wukong has lived for more than a thousand years, even if he was pressed at the bottom of the mountain, he has never suffered such grievances, so it is no wonder that there is such a scene.

It’s just what Jin Chanzi has experienced in the world these years. The level of decline in the realm is far beyond my imagination. There are many hardships on the way to learn the scriptures. If you suffer some flesh and blood pain, you also blame the monkey for not being in a hurry?

I was not the only one shocked by Hou'er's remarks.Even the Tathagata couldn't help being silent for a long while before saying: "If you don't feel resentful, I will teach Guanyin to send it to you. I am not afraid that he will not accept it. I will protect him and come here. In the future, you will return to bliss after success, and you will sit on the lotus platform."

With such a promise, the merit position in the future will definitely not be lower than that of Jin Chanzi.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Ps: Your mana is so powerful that you can only read the affairs of Zhou Tian, ​​but you cannot broadly understand the types of Zhou Tian.

The first is the Lingming stone monkey, which can communicate with changes.The second is the red-tailed horse monkey, who understands yin and yang, understands human affairs, is good at going in and out, and avoids death and prolongs life; the third is the back-to-back ape, who grasps the sun and the moon, shrinks thousands of mountains, distinguishes between bad and bad, and manipulates the universe.The fourth is the six-eared macaque, which is good at listening to sounds, can perceive, knows before and after, and understands everything.These four monkeys do not belong to the ten species, and do not reach the name of the two realms.In my view, Wukong is a six-eared macaque.If this monkey stands in one place, it can know things thousands of miles away. Ordinary people can also know things when they speak. Therefore, they are good at listening, can understand, know before and after, and everything is clear.The one who has the same sound and image as the real Wukong is also the six-eared macaque.

When success returns to bliss, you also sit on the lotus platform.
