The Tao is not taught lightly, and the Dharma is not taught lightly.
Especially the core inheritance method of Mingshan Zhengsect, if you don't know its true meaning, it will be overheard by the six ears... It is actually very difficult to practice successfully.
Is this one of the reasons why the hidden ancestor only taught the Great Sage Dharma but not other ways?
But for Fahai, his existence in this world is based on "Master Tripitaka", and his own bond and cause and effect with this world are actually very shallow.
But this journey to the west made the bond between their master and apprentice deeper and deeper. In addition, the friends they made along the way, the demons they conquered... this made them feel more at ease in this world.
Keep your feet on the ground.
In addition to slaying demons and saving all sentient beings, it is also Fahai's inner wish to truly promote Buddhism in the three realms.
Therefore, he does not care if the Tao and Dharma he teaches are secretly learned by others. If the scholar does good, it is a merit; if he does evil... he will not be able to learn his Dharma and will not be able to understand his own way.
"You have three pairs of ears, but you have heard so many secrets of the three realms."
Fa Hai looked at Liu Er who was eager to try, and said to him: "But you can survive till now, you must have known how to save your life."
When Liu Er saw that the master did not ask about the meeting ceremony, but instead talked about it, he felt warm in his heart... He thought that only by pretending to be Sun Wukong could he truly listen to the master's teachings and care, but he did not expect that he could only pretend to be Sun Wukong. Just when they first met... the master took him into his family. He had been accustomed to seeing the warmth and coldness of human beings since he was a child... He received a lot of cold looks, and he was the most sensitive in his heart.
It's just that he suffered more malice in the past, but now he met the Master's sincerity, which caused the ice in his heart to gradually dissolve and melt.
Although both he and the Great Sage are naturally vicious, they are not evil types...
The Great Sage is born optimistic and has his own destiny; and Liu Er...maybe it is because he has a clever mind and can discern the good and evil in people's hearts. In addition, he started out as a weak person and became very sensible early on.
Among them, we can also add Yuan Hong, the Fourth Wasted Star King. After all, he is also a born ape with a straight back... He seems to value loyalty more. Although he is a monster, he is by no means a vicious person.
"Master, I heard that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has a listening ear that can listen to the voices of all things... the secret it hears is the secret." Liu Er smiled and said, "He gave birth to me thousands of years ago, and he is still alive today. , there are only two things... one is to be able to keep it secret and keep it secret; the other is to have the protection of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to ensure that there is no danger."
"My disciple's ability to live to this day... is actually due to a combination of circumstances." Liu Er felt a little lucky: "When my disciple was young, he had no magic power, so naturally it was difficult for him to use his magical powers. Even if he heard... he couldn't hear anything. What an important secret; then, while my ancestor was teaching my elder brother... the skills, I secretly learned the magic and magical powers... I became more and more aware that the world was vast, and I didn't dare to pry into other people's secrets at will."
"Master...you often say that spiritual practice is not about abstinence, but about restraint...it can be seen that what the disciple is doing is in line with the master's teachings."
"You monkey..." Fa Hai smiled and nodded after hearing this, "Since you know it in your heart, you don't need to talk about it... But after all, your magical power is famous in the three realms. You need to know that ordinary people are not guilty and have a jade. The crime... is that if you can keep your heart and keep your nature, it is inevitable that there will be female practitioners who will take care of you... If that day comes, you must remember not to act rashly, as your teacher will protect you."...
"Yes." Liu'er knelt on the ground and kowtowed for a while, and his eyes became slightly moist.
Liu Er absolutely admires the master's character.
You may have heard it overheard, but it is very different from seeing it with your own eyes and experiencing it yourself.
Master treats people with sincerity, even when he encounters monsters... This is not something ordinary human masters can do. After all, humans and monsters are incompatible, and monsters do not distinguish between good and evil when they eat people... Therefore, many human masters When exterminating demons, there is no distinction between good and evil.
This was one of the reasons why Liu Er had no way to become a disciple in the past.
What's more, he was born after the Conferment of Gods. The Jie Sect was defeated and almost wiped out. At that time, the Chan Sect and the Human Sect were victorious and divided up the incense in the world. Human immortal sects rose everywhere... Call him a little monkey. Where can he become a disciple?
At this time, Fa Hai turned to Liu Er
He asked, "If my teacher guessed correctly, the meeting gift you are going to give me as a meeting gift will be the whereabouts of the fake monk, right?"
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from the master." Liu Er scratched his head, still a little embarrassed: "The disciple is always listening to his movements, and now he has almost met the senior brother."
"Interesting." Fahai said with a smile: "There are two good shows today... one is the real and fake Tang Sanzang; the other is the real and fake Monkey King... Let's go and see your senior brother... Let’s see if he can identify the fake monk.”
"Master, this demon monk actually has quite an origin." Liu Er stepped forward to guide Fahai.
"Wait a moment..."
Fahai still remembered that there were thirty-two bandits and a group of foot soldiers here. He gave them a few instructions, and then called Wu Jing over... first introduced Liu Er to him, "Wu Jing, this is This is a disciple that my master has just accepted, and I call him Liu Er."
Wu Jing is attentive and at first sight, he thought he was his senior brother, but he quickly realized what he was doing. Now that he heard the introduction from Master, he cupped his hands and said, "Little Monk Sha Wu Jing."
"Liu Er has met Third Senior Brother."
"Wait here for a moment. Liu Er has found your demon monk's location. I'll come as soon as I can."
"Yes." Wu Jing clasped his hands together and sat cross-legged in front of the prefect's mansion.
Fahai turned to Liu Er and said, "Let's go."
"Go slowly, don't rush... I'll tell you about the origin of the demon monk on the way."
"yes."
Liu Er also didn't expect that the demon monk turned out to be what he thought... He wanted to replace his senior brother and become a "real" disciple of the master; and the demon monk wanted to go to Lingshan to learn scriptures in place of the master... .
The difference is that what he wanted has been realized. The master does not care about his eavesdropping on Buddhist scriptures. Instead, he takes him under his disciple regardless of the previous suspicion.
Liu'er had imagined countless times at night what the scene would be like after he met the Master... He even thought about the scene where the Master would purify himself in the flames of the Buddha on the basis of clearing the door, but he never thought about it. I thought that with this smoothness, I would be able to successfully become my master.
And the other party... seems to have an unclear future.
"Master doesn't know something." Master said to walk slower, Liu Er controlled the pace a little. At this moment, the demon monk was still entangled with the senior brother and could not get away for a while. Even if he escapes... he still can't escape from his six ears, "This demon monk is actually one with you, Master."
tower!
Fahai's footsteps paused, and his heart suddenly felt empty for a moment because of these words, and then he had some mysterious and mysterious insights, but he couldn't explain them clearly at the moment.
"Elaborate."
"Disciple heard it too." Seeing the solemn expression on the master's face, Liu Er knew that this matter was not trivial, so he even worded his words more carefully, "I heard that not long ago, the body of a six-winged golden cicada was lost in Lingshan... .”
...
The great sage was inspecting the body outside the city.
He took a quick look... All the dead souls here had been saved. It was the same as the murder in the prefect's mansion in the city, and it could be confirmed that it was the work of one person.
It turns out that this demon monk also likes fishing... No, this is not fishing at all...
He made a nest in the Prefect's Mansion, and then...he set up a net here...and the result was that the fishes crashed into the net, and almost all the corrupt officials in the city were caught in one net.
"Wukong...are there any clues here?"
At this time, the Great Sage suddenly heard a voice that "suspected" the master. .
