Chapter 739 Teaching the Monkey (1)(1/2)

Tao follows nature and lives in accordance with your heart.

Li Changshou was lying on the rocking chair in Fangcun Mountain on Lingtai, feeling the warm sunshine, and a little smile on his face that looked like a childish face.

The great rise in the West has nothing to do with him, what does the golden cicada have to do with him?

Tune the monkeys well, and take the opportunity to bury some nails, and create a wave of Taoist ancestors and the way of heaven before Journey to the West. No matter whether you win or lose, it is meaningless to survive the disaster of Journey to the West.

Win the world and lose the world and escape from chaos.

Having said that, Sun Wukong is indeed a born strong man.

It happened to be the 100th day that Sun Wukong went up the mountain. Today, the front hall was explaining the scriptures. The monkey was able to sit down and listen carefully to the speech.

Extremely performed.

Speaking of doing things like teaching monkeys, Li Changshou did not do much for the time being except to create an atmosphere of equality, freedom and kindness for the Three Star Cave of the Shake Moon.

With more than ten years of hardship in the mundane world, Sun Wukong quickly got along with his senior brothers and sisters.

With Li Changshou's acquiescent, Sun Wukong had mastered the introductory practice with the Taoist methods he learned from his senior brothers and sisters; and in just half a month, he had walked through a path that ordinary Qi Refiners may not be able to take for decades.

At this point, Li Changshou could no longer watch the show and had to start taking over and guiding.

Otherwise, I would miss the ‘golden time’ when the monkey becomes stronger.

There are many ways to give monkeys a small stove; today, when explaining the scriptures in the main hall, this matter was perfectly solved.

What did he do?

In fact, it's just following the trend and giving the monkey some hint.

At that time, after Li Changshou finished speaking of the Taoist scriptures and Taoist methods, he asked his disciples whether they had any questions or unclear aspects.

Several disciples who performed well on weekdays spoke and asked some common scripture explanation questions, and Li Changshou solved his doubts one by one.

After all, Wukong couldn't help but ask a question.

"Master! Hey, Master is here. Can you please inquire? What is the disciple practicing now? "

Li Changshou replied expressionlessly: "The supreme law in the world, three thousand great ways are urging, and each great way can enter the realm of immortality, relying on your opportunity and fortune."

Wukong couldn't hear it, it was actually perfunctory words?

He hurriedly bowed and knelt on the cushion and said:

"The disciples have no intention of disobedience at all, and they dare not discuss the great way.

But the master and disciple are stupid. It has been more than ten years since they came out and have not yet seen the shadow of the immortal method of immortality.

If Master has the Dharma, can you give your disciple a clear letter? It is better for you to be at ease?"

"What," Li Changshou frowned slightly, "From what you mean, if you don't have the method of immortality as a teacher, would you betray another party?"

"How dare you, how dare you," Wukong bowed and kowtowed, "Disciple didn't get any gifts, Master, you accepted the disciple. The disciple is not such a heartless creature!

But, Master, you...

The disciple wants to know whether there is hope or hopelessness in the future. If there is no hope, the disciple will go back to Huaguo Mountain to arrange monkeys and grandsons, and then come back to honor his master!”

Li Changshou said calmly: "Do you know how old you are in your master?"

Wukong was stunned.

A senior brother smiled and said:

"Your junior brother, you are from the ordinary, and it is understandable that our teacher's name is also worthy of understanding.

Teachers are the most powerful people in the world. When they walk in the vast world, they are respected as ancestors and called as seniors.

Although there are not many immortals you envy, you must respect them when you see the teacher. Once the teacher points them, they will disappear."

Wukong's eyes lit up: "Oh? Take it seriously?"

"Your money!"

Li Changshou was really angry at the monkey head and flicked Wukong with his finger.

A little picture suddenly appeared in front of Wukong, feeling a dark, ancient Taoist rhyme. This Taoist rhyme has existed in the world for a long time.

The stone monkey has no doubts anymore and has repeatedly knelt down and accused him of guilt.

Li Changshou said: "Cultivation is not about being competitive, but practice is the path for living beings to pursue the great way.

Wukong, when you entered our door, you have already embarked on this path, and where you can go, you have to grasp it yourself.

A teacher can teach you the methods of practicing, but he cannot help you overcome the bottleneck.

A teacher can teach you how to feel the great way, but he cannot put this great way in your arms.

Therefore, as a teacher, I will not talk about you, what is the realm of immortality, and how can I live forever?

What you practice is the Tao, and what you pursue should be the true truth, return to the true self, be at ease and happiness, seek the true meaning in the emptiness and the darkness, and explore the true self in the haze.

Do you know?"

All the disciples bowed their heads and said yes, and Wukong also bowed his hands repeatedly.

Li Changshou continued:

“Since I’ve said this, I’ll say a few more words.

Wukong, you have been in the school for a hundred days, and it is considered to be sincere and motivated. I saw it in my eyes and thought that I had given you a disciple.

Today, I will teach you how to practice, and you can also make your own choice.”

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Master, what you teach, the disciples will naturally learn what they want."

"Don't behave yourself, listen."

Li Changshou said seriously: "I have a method called the way to understand emptiness, comprehend the principles of emptiness and darkness, constantly correct the original mind, see the truth in illusion, and realize the illusion in the truth.

Do you want to learn?”

Wukong asked: "Master, how long will this method last for immortality?"

Li Changshou said: "If you have a deep understanding and practice smoothly without encountering bottlenecks, you may be able to live for five or six thousand years."

"It's too long, my disciples are thinking about helping those old monkeys extend their life span."

Li Changshou nodded and said, "There is another method for a teacher to illuminate the mind and enhance life span.

Just think about it all the time, think more, and comprehend for three to four thousand years. If everything goes well, you can achieve immortality.”

“Too long, or too long!”

Sun Wukong's eyes were full of expectations. He first kept apologizing and asked, "Master, can he get immortality in dozens or hundreds of years?"

Most of the disciples on both sides couldn't help laughing.

A disciple couldn't help but say, "Even if you practice demon skills, you can't achieve the fruit of immortality for hundreds of years."

"Wukong, don't make the teacher angry..."

"snort!"

Li Changshou changed his face on the spot and said coldly: "Wukong, you are restless and look forward to immortality!"

Sun Wukong shivered a few times, but still walked forward quickly and knelt in front of Li Changshou.

Li Changshou stood up, and casually called a wooden whip. He slapped Sun Wukong three times on his back, scolding him:

"Take this as a warning and get a good understanding!"

Afterwards, Li Changshou's body quietly dissipated, leaving the disciples looking at each other and came over to scold Sun Wukong.

Everyone was saying that Sun Wukong was rude and angered the teacher.

But Sun Wukong was smiling and had no shame.

On the contrary, they all ignored two issues.

First, the monkey said that he wanted to grow up and become an immortal quickly, and then went back to take his own monkeys and grandchildren to practice immortality happily. This is the meaning of one person achieving the Tao and the dog ascending to heaven, and it is a taboo for qi refiners.

One is the prehistoric tradition that the Dharma cannot be passed on lightly, and the other is that doing this will add many variables to the master's sect, and may cause karma.

Secondly, when these disciples were introductory, the teacher did not ask them what method they wanted to practice, and threw it into their faces with one book of practice. Today, they even gave different choices.

Tsk, the treatment is always different.

...

It’s late at night, people are quiet, and life is resting.

In the Three Star Cave of the Shaky Moon, a figure swayed around sneakily, and finally rushed out of the window of the "high-end cave" where Li Changshou lived, and shouted softly:

"Master, Master~"

It is Sun Wukong.

Seeing that there was no movement inside, Sun Wukong carefully pushed open the window, tiptoed in, knelt beside Li Changshou's bed, and kowtowed a few times without saying a word.

"Master, I wonder if you mean that, so I asked my disciple to come here to see you in the middle of the night."

"You guy, you are not stupid."
To be continued...
