In fact, even if they are not under their masters and disciples, they will give careful guidance when it comes to preaching, receiving vocations and solving doubts.
No matter how classic the scriptures are, if they are shelved and no one knows about them, they are nothing more than a roll of waste paper.
But there are ways to teach disciples. Fahai only looked at these three princes. Seeing that they had different temperaments and that they all liked to practice martial arts... he said to King Yuhua: "They If they worship under the disciples of a poor monk, but the poor monk will not teach them the method of fighting bravely, they need to recite sutras for several years first."
King Yuhua was overjoyed after hearing this and said: "That's right. We should also let some of them recite sutras and have good intentions, so that they can have some guidance... It's a pity that I have to say a thousand words to them, but I can't." Listen, even if you beat and scold them to force them to obey, they will return to their true nature after a while."
The three princes below all changed their expressions after hearing such words. The little prince even said: "Father, if you let your children recite sutras... I would rather play tricks on my own. I guess I have no chance of meeting Master Tripitaka."
After hearing what his youngest son said, Lao Wang immediately changed his face and thought to himself: What a blessing it is to be able to worship Master Tripitaka?
How dare you have an opinion?
But before Lao Wang could get angry, the second prince followed closely, "Father, it's such an important matter to become a disciple, why didn't you tell us in advance? It was so sudden... the child was unprepared. It's just that father... .If you become a disciple of Master Tripitaka, do you still need to be ordained and become a monk? It doesn’t matter if you have a child, but it’s difficult for the elder brother..."
After hearing this, the eldest prince waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, you and I will worship Master Sanzang... If the third child is not willing, let him stay at home to inherit the throne and respect his father, queen and mother. ..”
After hearing this, the little prince immediately said: "The two brothers are not loyal. They agreed to advance and retreat together, but this time they have to leave the younger brother behind and recite sutras? Why are they afraid of it? Come with the sword... I will ordain you!"
The Great Sage felt happy for a while, this little prince is still a sweetheart... You and your two brothers are tonsured, and your parents don't want it?
Perhaps the little prince just thought of this section and said to the old king: "Father, the elders and younger ones are in order. This throne should be reserved for the eldest brother."
Lao Wang's face is green and red, I'm not dead yet!
These three villains!
In what manner?
"There is no need to be ordained and become a monk." The Great Sage pointed to the little white dragon beside him and said: "My junior brother is a lay disciple who worships the master. There are also many registered disciples and lay disciples on the way to the west. ..."
The eldest prince looked a little embarrassed: "Sun Dasheng... To be honest, my brothers and I have a headache when we see the Buddhist scriptures. Even if Master Tripitaka is willing to accept it, we will never dare to become a disciple shamelessly..."
The second prince followed closely, "That's right, that's right... If you really become a disciple of Master Tripitaka, I won't dare to go out in the future."
The little prince also said matter-of-factly: "If I show my timidity when I go out, when others ask me about Buddhism, I don't know anything about it. We are used to it, so we are not afraid of being laughed at... But even if we are lay people who are not ordained, Disciple, if you spread the word, wouldn’t it mean that you would lose the face of eminent monks like Master Tripitaka?”
The eldest prince looked at his father above him and said, "Father, you have not considered this matter."
At this moment, Lao Wang just wanted to drag the brothers out and beat them up twenty times, but after all, Master Sanzang was a guest in the palace, so he gave up and kept it in mind first.
Lao Wang, who was stabbed in the back by his sons, was currently thinking about how to explain to Master Tripitaka in order to resolve this embarrassing moment...
But I heard that Sun Dasheng had already spoken: "When I passed by the palace martial arts field just now, I saw that there were eighteen kinds of weapons on the weapons shelf, but only three items were displayed...but they were a stick, a rake and a weapon. Three sticks..."
The eldest prince nodded immediately after hearing this and said, "The great sage is aware of everything. That is exactly how my three brothers use their weapons."
"Isn't this a coincidence?" The Great Sage stepped forward and said to the master, "Master, it is fitting that we should meet such a fate. Aren't the weapons of the three of them just suitable for the three of us brothers?"
The Great Sage pointed at himself, as well as Bajie and Wujing beside him.
Bajie rolled his eyes after hearing this, but asked: "Which one uses the rake?"
"It's me." The second prince stood up immediately.
"That's weird." Bajie stared at him for a while and then asked him directly: "How do you use a rake as a weapon?"
The second prince did not speak, but it was the little prince who spoke: "The elders don't know, but my second brother was playing wantonly on the countryside when he was young, and he offended an old farmer, and the old farmer used a rake to hug the ground and gave him a lesson... After hearing this, my second brother sent his second brother to the old farmer and worked in the fields with him... The old farmer passed away two years ago, so my second brother brought the rake back as a souvenir... Later, he sent a craftsman to make a rake. A rake with teeth as a weapon."
After hearing this, Bajie walked up to the second prince, stretched out his hand and patted him a few times, and said with a smile: "You are still working in the fields... As expected, you are the strongest."
The second prince scratched his head.
"Master." When he arrived here, Bajie still didn't know what his senior brother was planning, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "Since the three of them don't dare to accept you as their teacher, why not let us brothers teach you."
Wu Jing also stood up and said: "In the beginning, Master's profound Buddhist teachings were extremely difficult for us to learn... It would be appropriate to let the disciples teach them some superficial introductory scriptures... They used Those weapons techniques happen to be our special skills and can be easily trained."
"Okay, okay." Before Master Sanzang could speak, the old Wang put his hands on his hands, smiled, and said: "What the elders said is true, so let a few of them, one incompetent, worship the three elders as their disciples... What does Master Tripitaka think?"
"Amitabha." Fa Hai recited the Dharma name, "There is nothing you can't do."
Fahai can be accepted, Wukong and the others can also be taught, and they don’t have to be their disciples... But no matter who they worship as their teachers, or who teach them, scriptures are indispensable.
Xiao Bailong chuckled secretly: Do they think that since they have several senior brothers as their teachers, they don't need to recite sutras?
If this idea really came up, it would be a big mistake...the reality will teach them a lesson, and they will remember it deeply.
"There is no need to divide yours, mine... Who is whose master, who is who's disciple." The Great Sage waved to them and said with a smile: "Even if the three of you worship under my senior brother together, To call me grand master is..." Then he pointed at Bajie and Wujing, "These are the second master and the third master."
When the Great Sage was about to call Xiao Bailong over, Xiao Bailong took the first step and said to the three princes: "You can call me Uncle Master. If anyone wants to learn marksmanship or dragon claw skills, come and find me. "
The Great Sage saw that Xiao Bailong had already spoken, so he didn't say much. He just gave a few words to the three princes: "You are the three of us. Except when you are learning weapons, you will follow us separately. At other times, no matter who we are, You all must learn the things taught together without making any mistakes... Do you remember?"
"I remember, I remember."
Then the three princes quickly visited their masters, uncles and ancestors.
Then Lao Wang said it wasn't formal enough and he had to have a serious apprenticeship banquet.
When there is a happy event in the palace, it is natural to enjoy it with the people. There is a big banquet in the palace... There are also running water mats on the streets. When everyone heard that they were the three princes of the palace, they worshiped under the three disciples of Master Tripitaka and came spontaneously. congratulate.
Although the three princes were martial and strong, they never oppressed the people. Even if they made some mistakes, they were promptly punished by King Yuhua. Moreover, the three brothers were respectful brothers and had a good reputation among the people and were quite popular among the people.
Now that I heard that they had found a famous teacher, I sincerely congratulated them.
Not long after, colorful decorations were flying inside and outside the palace, and the smell of cigarettes was fragrant.
The gold table is hung with twisted yarn to dazzle the eyes; the painted chairs are covered with brocade, adding to the scenery. It's really a grand occasion.
The three princes personally carried the eucalyptus, washed their hands and burned incense, and bowed to the sky.
The great sages first accepted their worship, and then went to consult their master. After receiving the master's permission, they accepted the three princes into their sect.
】
These three are considered beginners, and there are still some differences between them and the disciples taught by Wuyinshan in the past.
After paying homage to their masters seriously, and after the banquet was over, the three princes asked the three masters to go to the martial arts arena to teach them martial arts... However, they saw the three masters stepping out, their iron tower-like figures shrouding them in shadow. But he took out a scripture that he had prepared a long time ago and said to them: "If you can understand this method, you can teach martial arts."
The three princes were shocked when they saw this. Why should they study the scriptures? !
They even subconsciously looked at their father, but they saw that their father seemed not to have seen him at all. He was still chatting cordially with Master Tripitaka in his seat, without even glancing at them.
"These three brats were handed over to the Master's three disciples for training." Although he failed to become Master Tripitaka's disciple, becoming Master Tripitaka's disciple is something worthy of congratulations.
Could it be that Master Tripitaka would not teach them his skills because of this?
King Yuhua has no such worries at all.
Moreover, with the current level of the three of them, they probably don't need Master Sanzang to train them at all.
It is said that once a teacher is always a father, since King Yuhua asked them to worship under the disciples of the Great Sage, then how to teach them is their business. Even if he is a father, he will not do anything to the Great Sage and others. The religious methods interfered.
When the three princes saw that their father could no longer count on them, and when they saw the three masters who were originally very kind, their faces were already serious... and they suddenly felt a little timid.
Seeing them in a daze, Wu Jing lifted the eldest prince and the little prince off the ground one by one. Bajie behind him also grabbed the second prince's belt... The great sage said with a smile: "You guys, don't be too ambitious. As the saying goes, if you don’t practice martial arts, you will be in vain... Even if you practice martial arts moves skillfully, they are just a show."
"If you don't call me a means of demonstration, I'll make you give up... I'm afraid you won't be able to learn." The Great Sage shouted in the direction of Master and King Yuhua, "Master, Chitose, let's go to the martial arts field to practice first. So I can explore their background and see where they can start teaching.”
"Can you go and watch?" Lao Wang asked Master Sanzang.
There are many local sects, but except for some well-known sects, when the sect teaches its disciples to practice, outsiders are never allowed to watch.
"Of course you can." Fa Hai smiled and said, "Everyone in the house can also be invited to watch, but their practice is not a mortal method...ordinary people will find it difficult to understand the essence of it."
All the way to the martial arts field.
Naturally, the three princes did not need the two masters to carry them all the way. After all, there were many people in the house, and they also wanted to save face.
"Get your weapons."
The Great Sage gave an instruction.
The three disciples didn't know what the master wanted to do, but they still followed the instructions. The eldest prince took an eyebrow-level stick, the second one used a nine-tooth palladium, and the younger brother used a magic wand. At this moment, they stood on the martial arts field, upside down. There is also some momentum.
"Come."
The Great Sage waved his hand, "Just come over here."
However, when the second brother saw that his elder brother and younger brother were both motionless, he gritted his teeth and said, "Masters, look at the rake!"
The second prince started to move and waved the weapons with both hands. It seemed that there was no rules...but if you look closely, they were all in the same peasant style of raking grass, which seemed a bit simple.
Bajie ducked and didn't fight back. After he showed off his skills once, he smiled and said: "Your rake is too small. Let's take it as a teacher."
But he stretched out his hand and saw that he was holding a nine-tooth rake as big as a comb between his two fingers. He just blocked it with his hand and stopped the second prince's eight-foot sword in front of him.
Swish——
Then he saw thousands of golden lights and thousands of auspicious auras... The rake in his hand grew out of thin air. With a casual hook, he handed over the second prince's rake and knocked him to the ground.
The boss and the young over there also raised their weapons to fight.
It is said that the second prince is a farmer, and the boss's stick skills are much more rigorous. You can see every move, and he has been trained by famous masters...
The Great Sage is naturally an expert in the stick technique, and the eldest prince's stick technique is only taught by mortal martial arts masters... The Great Sage only looked at it for a few times before losing interest. He first reached out and snatched the eldest prince's stick, and then took it from him. He took out the golden cudgel from his ear and opened it. The bowl was as thick as two or three feet long. He pounded it on the ground until it was three feet deep. It stood there.
The Great Sage said: "Do you know why you are asked to study the scriptures first?"
The eldest prince shook his head, looking confused.
The Great Sage glanced at Junior Brother Sha, who was seriously deconstructing moves with the little prince, and then said to the eldest prince: "Come and lift my stick."
Upon hearing this, the eldest prince stepped forward and pulled out the stick with all his strength, but the stick did not move at all.
Then pick up one end and shake it, and it will look like roots.
Bajie followed suit and said to the second prince, "You can also lift my rake."
Naturally, all the efforts were in vain.
At this time, Wu Jing's side also came to an end. The little prince had a look of admiration on his face, as if he had never seen such a subtle trick before. A magic wand in the hands of the master had so many changes...
When he saw his two brothers holding up the weapons of the first master and the second master, he subconsciously looked at the master's Zen staff.
"Want to give it a try?"
Wu Jing picked up a treasured stick, and a bright light came out, and the glow shone one after another, and he stuck it on the ground: "Just try it."
The little prince only blushed and finally gave up the idea.
The three princes, the palace staff who were watching, and King Yuhua all said that it was an eye-opener.
At this time, the Great Sage has already begun to lecture, "The reason why I let you study the scriptures first is because the skills we teach are not mortal skills... It is simply difficult for you to master them with your mortal bodies."
"As for the direction of the heart of strength... If you want to cultivate such skills, you must first correct your mind. If your heart is not correct, you will not be able to do it." The great sage took the scripture from Wujing and said: " And this scripture is the method that can help you understand your mind and build the foundation."
Gudu!
Everyone present was moved when they saw it...
