That year in the Zixiao Palace, Taoist Hongjun gave his third sermon. The two Buddhist sages miscalculated the time and only listened to part of the "Nine Transformations of Mysterious Skills". After failing to learn the method, even Empress Nuwa, a direct disciple of the Xuanmen Taoist ancestor, only heard part of it. Only Sanqing and Huanglong listened to the whole thing.
Although both the Thirty-Six Tiangang Methods and the Seventy-Two Earthly Evil Methods can avoid the three disasters, the Thirty-Six Tiangang Methods are the secrets of the three Taoist religions. Buddhism does not have this method and only knows the Seventy-two Earthly Evil Methods. How did you ask Patriarch Bodhi to teach Sun Wukong? What he just said was just to save face.
Patriarch Bodhi originally thought that Sun Wukong would follow his advice and choose one of the two transformation techniques, and most people must have many choices in their thinking. Who would have thought that Sun Wukong would not care about choosing one of the two, and would just shamelessly want them all. It is very similar to the famous saying in the mortals of later generations: In the world of adults, you don’t have to choose one or the other, you want them all!
Patriarch Bodhi's face tightened and he scolded Sun Wukong.
"You are so greedy, you can only choose one thing if you want them all!"
Sun Wukong saw the dark face of Patriarch Bodhi, and he had a vague guess in his heart. He had a narrow-minded intention in his heart and tried to test the way to Patriarch Bodhi.
"Since the choice is the same, then disciple choose..."
Sun Wukong deliberately paused for a moment, carefully observed the expression of Patriarch Bodhi, rolled his eyes, and continued with a calculation.
"Thirty-six Tiangang methods!"
When Patriarch Bodhi heard this, his cheeks twitched and he was speechless. How could this monkey choose the method of thirty-six heavens? Shouldn't he choose the one with the largest number? Then he spoke.
"Why don't you choose the seventy-two earth evil methods that have more transformation skills?"
Sun Wukong was even more sure that Patriarch Bodhi might not know the method of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gangs. He smiled secretly in his heart, but Lian Shang answered the Patriarch's question seriously.
"The disciples have searched and found that both of them can avoid the three disasters. Tiangang is obviously ranked before Earthly Evil. Although there are fewer transformation techniques, the magical power is greater after all, so it is natural to choose the method of Thirty-six Tiangang!"
Patriarch Bodhi didn't expect that the monkey was so smart. He actually knew from the name that the method of Tiangang was better than the method of Earthly Evil. However, he didn't know how to teach the method to the monkey. He could only bite the bullet and be tough. said.
"You are a slutty monkey with an undecided temperament and are not suitable for the Thirty-six Heavenly Gang methods. I'd better teach you the Seventy-two Earthly Evil methods!"
After saying that, regardless of Sun Wukong's reluctance, he directly taught the secret to Sun Wukong, then disappeared directly on the futon and returned to the back bedroom.
"Demon Town Museum"
Sun Wukong curled his lips, put away his narrow-mindedness, and secretly practiced the seventy-two earthly evil methods. He had a hundred apertures, bright wisdom, and extraordinary aptitudes. He practiced and practiced on his own. In just half a year, he had mastered the seventy-two transformations. Learned.
Another day, while the Patriarch and everyone were watching the sunset, he suddenly asked Sun Wukong.
"How many variations of the techniques I taught you have you learned?"
Sun Wukong did not hide anything from Patriarch Bodhi and told him his progress in cultivation.
"Disciple has finished learning everything!"
Although Patriarch Bodhi was surprised by Sun Wukong's qualifications, he was also overjoyed. The higher Sun Wukong's cultivation would be, the more beneficial it would be to Buddhism's future plans. Hearing this, he asked again.
"Then your achievements are now considered complete, except for one thing: do you know the art of soaring into the clouds?"
Sun Wukong set up the auspicious clouds with full confidence and showed his ability to soar into the clouds and mist to Patriarch Bodhi. He had not specifically learned the soaring cloud escape technique, so naturally he could only rely on his cultivation to move the auspicious clouds. Although the speed was not satisfactory, he could still travel thousands of miles in a day. , but in the eyes of Patriarch Bodhi, he was a little helpless.
Patriarch Bodhi finally saw Sun Wukong's shortcomings. He recalled how many times the monkey had made him unable to get off the stage in the past, and he immediately joked.
"This can't be counted as soaring into the clouds, it can only be regarded as climbing on the clouds. It has been said since ancient times: Immortals travel to the North Sea and Mu Cangwu. You are still too far behind!"
Sun Wukong looked at the somewhat proud Patriarch Bodhi and stopped again when he saw him saying this, and asked wisely.
"Excuse me, Patriarch, what is the meaning of Chaoyou Beihai Mu Cangwu?"
"Everyone who rises from the North Sea in the early morning, swims through the East China Sea, the West Sea, the South China Sea, and then turns to Cangwu. The Cangwu people are the words of Lingling, Beihai. They will travel all the four seas in one day, Only then can you reach the clouds."
Patriarch Bodhi couldn't help but slightly raise his brows when he said this, obviously very proud of Sun Wukong's humbly asking for advice.
When Sun Wukong heard this, he was also very impressed and said repeatedly.
"It's really difficult to reach this speed with Soaring Cloud Technique!"
Patriarch Bodhi glanced at Sun Wukong who was sighing repeatedly, but raised his head, glanced at Sun Wukong slightly from the corner of his eyes, and said with deep meaning.
"Nothing is unachievable!"
When Sun Wukong heard this, his heart moved, and he knelt down and begged Master Bodhi.
"Ancestor, this disciple has heard: A good man will do his best to send the Buddha to the West! Please also ask the Patriarch to teach his disciples the art of soaring into the clouds, so that they can also travel to Beihai Mu Cangwu!"
When Patriarch Bodhi heard Sun Wukong's message of sending the Buddha to the West, his expression changed. He took a deep look at Sun Wukong and spoke after a long time.
"I hope you will remember today's words. I will teach you somersault clouds. This method can cover a hundred and eighty thousand miles in one somersault!"
Sun Wukong didn't know the meaning of Patriarch Bodhi, and looked at Patriarch Bodhi in confusion. However, Patriarch ignored him and directly taught Sun Wukong the Somersault Cloud Technique. After Sun Wukong heard the Technique, he no longer thought about it and just wrote it down. Immediately he practiced the magic and learned somersault cloud. From then on, he was free and free, traveling all over the four major continents of the earth and immortal world, and it was extremely enjoyable.
After Sun Wukong was taught the Somersault Cloud by Patriarch Bodhi, he practiced the method every day without slacking off for a day. In the meantime, all the brothers knew that Sun Wukong had received the true inheritance from the Patriarch and wanted to experience Sun Wukong's magical powers. Sun Wukong kept his clumsy mind and persisted in the Tao. The reluctance to show off made Patriarch Bodhi, who was paying attention to the matter in the back hall, very depressed.
Monkeys are restless by nature and like to show off, which is difficult to overcome. It stands to reason that if the brothers want to see Sun Wukong's vast magical powers, he should be happy to agree.
How did Master Bodhi know that since Sun Wukong practiced the "Quietness and Freedom Sutra", his Taoist mind has been enlightened, his mind can see his nature, and he has deeply understood the true meaning of purity and freedom. How can he still be as restless as an ordinary monkey, and he has long ago not cared about the vanity of face, so that He couldn't find an excuse to expel Sun Wukong from his master.
Naturally, Sun Wukong didn't know the depression in Patriarch Bodhi's heart. He devoted himself to practicing hard and soon attained the Taiyi Golden Immortal Path Fruit. This made Patriarch Bodhi feel even more uncomfortable. Seeing that the monkey was about to achieve the Great Luo Golden Immortal Path Fruit in Fangcun Mountain, he still persisted. Reluctant to go down the mountain.
On this day, Patriarch Bodhi could no longer bear Sun Wukong staying in Fangcun Mountain. Time was running out and the monkey must be driven down the mountain, otherwise all subsequent arrangements would be disrupted.
