[Journey to the West] Trees fall

"Master's little Jiu'er, I want to be the happiest person in this world." Under the Bodhi on the Yaotai, the old man with white hair and white eyebrows hugged the fat and soft little girl.

At that time, the rosy light and mist seemed to be all lit up. Sujiu felt dazedly as if she had conquered the world and swept across the world. When she looked up, she could clearly see the seriousness and kindness in Master's eyes.That is the person who loves her the most in the world, the person who holds her in his lap and teaches her to grow up carefree. She cannot just throw away the love and kindness of these years just because of today's accident. All are ignored.

Su Jiu stared blankly for a while, and when Patriarch Bodhi walked into the bright and warm hall from the dark place, seeing his somewhat ashamed but more tolerant eyes, her heart trembled, and she straightened up. He knelt down to Patriarch Bodhi.

"Xiao Jiu dare not accept what Master said." Even if there is something to hide from her, even if there is something inside she doesn't know, she still can't bear that sentence of sorry, "Master treats Xiao Jiu very well, but Xiao Jiu doesn't like it." Filial piety, you can't be filial with the master."

As soon as the last word landed, tears finally welled up in her eyes, and she just knelt on the ground in a daze, weeping with her mouth puckered, just like the coquettish girl who pretended to cry when she couldn't learn spells back then.

She was frightened by Master's words "I'm sorry", and she felt scared and panicked. She was afraid that all the joy and wantonness in the past 300 years were just a dream. appearance.

"You child, what are you crying for?" Bodhi told her to kneel like this, and the miserable feelings of compassion that were rare before had long been frightened away. Just as she was about to help her up, Wukong was also kneeling straight beside her. After falling down, his knee hit the sapphire ground in the Daxiong Palace, making a heavy muffled sound.

One was already difficult to deal with, but now that another one came, Patriarch Bodhi felt his head was getting bigger, so he called them up one after another: "What are you doing? Wukong helped Xiao Jiu up quickly, the ground is not cold What?" These two children have not seen each other for 300 years, but their tempers are becoming more and more stubborn, and I don't know which one is affecting the other.

"Master loves junior sister, and junior sister treats master like a close relative. I have been kept in the dark by my close relatives for more than 300 years. I don't need to count the feelings with master." Although Wukong has always been rebellious, he has always respected Patriarch Bodhi. He was suddenly driven out of Lingtai Mountain, and he had never violated his superiors or contradicted his words. When he said this, he was obviously dissatisfied to the extreme and could not bear it for a moment.

Sanxing Cave was like a hotbed where he and Sujiu grew up safely. Those times were too warm and beautiful to withstand even the slightest bit of slander and subversion.

"You two... idiots." Patriarch Bodhi sighed again, under the light of the swaying lotus lantern, kneeling was his most beloved child and the most indebted child.

The Tathagata Buddha watched coldly from above the main hall, with a smile on his lips, not only regretting but also mocking.

"The truth you want begins with a great disaster 13 years ago..." Patriarch Bodhi closed his eyes slightly, and lifted his lips out word by word.

In that year, Empress Nuwa tried her best to mend the sky, and the world was able to escape a catastrophe, but it ushered in an unprecedented famine.The sky does not rain, the earth does not produce grain, the people are devastated, and starvation is everywhere.

At that time, Sakyamuni was still an ascetic monk who measured the world on foot. He traveled all over the mountains and rivers, and experienced many vicious and miserable places, but he never changed his original intention.A pair of eyes are like tempered bright stones, through the absurd farce, you can see the deepest hidden place in human nature.

Having seen the ugliness and experienced the filth, he never forgets his original intention, and the buddha mind has just come into being.

Just like this, I put myself in the mortal world to grind and carve, and the day of attaining the Tao is not far away until this day.

Sakyamuni sat by the boulder, closed his eyes, and counted the observations and understandings of the day. Suddenly, a strange visitor came to the place where he was sitting cross-legged.

"Chirp—the Great Monk." It was a cub the size of a fist, with light red down feathers on its body, eyes and eyes, it was obviously a cub with the same name that had just acquired spiritual consciousness, it sang softly Ru Fengming, staring at the skinny Sakyamuni with twinkling eyes, chirping, "I've been following you for a long time, Chirp——You seem to be starving to death——"

Sakyamuni heard the truth in a childish voice, clasped his hands together, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am going to starve to death." He has not eaten for a long time, and he is supported by perseverance and faith .

"If you're starving to death, can you become a Buddha?" The Chongming bird tilted its head, fluttered its little wings with few feathers, and flew to Sakyamuni's lap where he was sitting cross-legged. not moving.

"Maybe." Sakyamuni smiled amused by its behavior, stretched out his hand that seemed to have only skin and bones left, and gently patted its limp little body, "Maybe you will get the Tao, maybe you will die." Dao Xiao, the way of heaven is impermanent, and the world is impermanent, no one can say for sure."

"Will you die Chirp—" Bird Cub's strange-looking eyes turned, and some embarrassed expressions appeared on his fluffy face, "If you die, won't the things you do I made a chirp in vain—”

It thinks simply, it just thinks that if Sakyamuni died like this, wouldn't all the good deeds he did before and the bitter practice be all in vain?He had never even tasted a morsel of meat.

It's so pitiful that I have never tasted meat when I grow up so big!

"But you can't say that, after all..." Sakyamuni shook his head, and was about to discuss the topic of "practicing without asking for rewards" with Niao Zai, but Niao Zai's actions shocked him on the spot.

"I've been with you for so many years, and it's because of you that you have opened your mind, so I can't just stand by and watch you die before me, chirp—" Bird Cub got up from his lap, and tried his best to flap his eyes. Some poor little wings stuck their necks and howled, "If I hit my head and die here, you will pick up my body, cook a soup, and eat it to save my life--tomorrow, if you have to To fulfill my wish, I also...you can ask me to have an incense... Incense tablet, okay?"

As soon as the words fell, the bird cub no longer looked at Sakyamuni's stunned face, and just slammed into the boulder beside him. sounded.

"So...that stupid bird...is me?" Su Jiu interjected, with a complicated expression.

How should I put it, after hearing about my past, I really have the urge to delete the black history.

Wukong clicked his lips, looked at the girl beside him, his eyes became inexplicably dangerous.My daughter-in-law actually betrayed her stupidity of not counting money like this, so she has to watch carefully in the future, lest she leave her and be tricked to death by others.

Although it was not the first time for Jin Peng to hear this story, he still laughed happily: "So when you first arrived at Lingtai Mountain, you stupid girl, the big guys watched you closely, because they were afraid that you would accidentally toss yourself over again. gone."

Su Jiu snorted, glared at Jin Peng from a distance, and urged: "Master, keep talking, keep talking."

Patriarch Bodhi saw that the atmosphere had been relieved a lot by such a disruption, and he felt a little relieved, and continued to speak.

Shakyamuni seemed to be hit by a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and it took him a long time to recover, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.He buried the cub next to the boulder and chanted sutras for 49 days, just hoping that its soul could be reincarnated safely, and that it would not suffer from being displaced again.

After that, Sakyamuni's state of mind was impacted, and the Buddha's heart was shaken, and the day after day of penance did not make any progress.Later, he came to a quiet lake, beside the lake was a luxuriant Bodhi. He meditated under the Bodhi, regardless of the years, and finally enlightened and became a golden body.

"And then?" Su Jiu sat on the ground and asked with her chin propped up.

Patriarch Bodhi took a look at her sitting or not, with a faint smile in his eyes.

Then...

Shakyamuni sat on the ground and became a Buddha. He lived in the Western Paradise for 3 years. The higher his cultivation, the deeper his practice, the more stable his position and the greater his power.

In this way, the Leiyin Temple in Lingshan was built, and the ten thousand Buddhas came to worship, and the incense was endless.He tried to build a small incense hall for the bird cub, but he was still unable to chase down its remnant soul.

It must have been reincarnated, Shakyamuni thought so.

As the years passed, when he vaguely touched the way of heaven, he suddenly discovered that there is still cause and effect that has not been repaid.In the past, Chongming Niaozi's life had cost him tens of thousands of years. Now he is in the supreme position and is watched by the Dao of Heaven all the time. go one step further.

"So...you came to find me?" Sujiu vaguely remembered that on the first day she came here, she was hit with a Buddhist bead by a chubby monk on the street, and then she opened her eyes and was already on Lingtai Mountain.

"Yes." Tathagata Buddha said.

To repay the karma, one must find the reincarnation of that bird cub. This process took tens of thousands of years, and many accidents occurred during this period.

As the sun changed and the stars moved, the boulder that it touched to death back then gave birth to wisdom, which became the key to changing the situation of heaven.

Sakyamuni realized his sudden enlightenment during Zen meditation, and he refined the incarnation outside his body, stripped all the emotions and six desires, and transferred them all to the incarnation. From then on, there is no more Sakyamuni in the world, only the Buddha who is neither sad nor happy in Lingshan, and there is also the Buddha on Lingtai Mountain. The kind and compassionate Bodhi.

"So...the boulder I bumped into to death back then was, it was..." Sujiu turned her head in disbelief to look at Wukong, who was already stunned beside her, and felt that the fate was so wonderful.

"Yes, when the incident happened suddenly, I didn't recognize that huge rock on the lonely mountain, it was actually the stone left by Nuwa who repaired the sky." Patriarch Bodhi said slowly.

"That's why Master always said that we are destined." Wu Kong hugged the little girl who had jumped into his arms tightly, and when he raised his eyes to look at Master, he was full of joy.

"Yes." Patriarch Bodhi looked at the two children huddled together in front of him under the contemptuous gaze of the Tathagata Buddha, and felt an unprecedented peace of mind when a big stone fell from the tip of his heart.

Sakyamuni has long since ceased to exist, and the cause and effect of one person has now become that of two people. If the Tathagata sat guarding the bliss of the Western Paradise, Bodhi would investigate alone, wholeheartedly trying to find the reincarnation of the bird cub and pay off the cause and effect.

Finally, finally found it.

The soul that has been exiled to another world is too fragile, and there is no physical body to put it in. The Tathagata Buddha took a piece of his own heart and carved it into her initial baby appearance.The jade dew in the Guanyin Jingping bottle is the best for warming the soul, so I taught her to drink the jade dew like drinking water every day, hoping to make the soul and body fit perfectly.

Su Jiu trembled, bit her lip and remained silent.

This... Anyone who wants to know that his body is just a piece of flesh from someone else's heart must feel a little uncomfortable.

"Then... the golden liquid in that little white bottle...?" Su Jiu had a bad feeling in her heart.

"It's his blood." Bodhi pointed to the Tathagata in the hall who pretended to be in a trance, and said with a smile, hoping that the well-behaved child would also remember something about his other self.

"...Thank you." Su Jiu was silent, stood up and walked to the center of the hall. After standing for a while, she knelt down and kowtowed to the Tathagata Buddha, "I kneel to you because you gave me flesh and blood to protect me from growing up .”

It's definitely not because I was moved, and it's definitely not because I want to call you daddy and get along with you.

"Get up." Tathagata waved his hand, and Su Jiu was supported by a force.

Bodhi called her to his side, patted her head lovingly, and said, "Xiao Jiu, who is my teacher, has grown up."

Su Jiu's nose was sour, and she was about to throw her master's white beard into his arms, but she was picked up by the jealous guy behind her.

"When you grow up, don't rush at others." Wukong said with a straight face.

Patriarch Bodhi saw that he was very domineering, so he only held his forehead and said nothing, but he was thinking about which auspicious time in 1000 years would be the most auspicious time for him to marry.

Tathagata Buddha sat tall, looking down at the three people in the hall who were already in harmony, and then at Jinpeng with a smile in his eyes, his face was calm, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Patriarch Bodhi is his other self, which is completely different from him.

Bodhi is too sentimental. Raising a child can bring up so many emotions. He is reluctant to part with this, and also reluctant to part with that. Such a soft temper, in the eyes of the Tathagata, is really unbearable and has no future.

At the beginning, he put Sujiu on Lingtai Mountain to be raised by Bodhi, but it was because Lingshan is a pure place of Buddhism, and it was not convenient to raise a baby girl.Who would have imagined that after so many years of hard work, he would raise a stumbling block that he couldn't move or get rid of, and he had to pay for it?

"So, Master is sincere to Xiao Jiu?" Su Jiu had already guessed the whole story, but she still pretended to be pitiful and covered her face, secretly revealing a sly look from between her fingers.

"At first, it was just to repay the karma, but you child, you are too troublesome, you can't do it if you don't pay attention." When Patriarch Bodhi mentioned this, he only thought that this was the demon star he was destined for, and there was nothing more worrying than her.

After getting such an answer, Sujiu made an angry look on the surface, but turned over and lay on Wukong's shoulder to secretly wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

very nice.
