There are five Five Elements Mountains, and Sun Wukong can't really knock down the five peaks at the same time. The move just now was just to vent his long-spent anger and smash the one that was pressing him down. This is not a matter of ability. It's still a matter of willingness. If Sun Wukong vents for a while longer, I'm afraid the entire Five Elements Mountain Range will be completely destroyed by him.
At this time, Sun Wukong still had the appearance of the arrogant Monkey King, and was left with nothing but grievances.
To be more careful, Sun Wukong is actually not guilty of causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace. Modern people tend to deconstruct Journey to the West in various ways. One of the more generally accepted ones is that Sun Wukong may be extremely naughty as a goblin, but don’t forget him. My last master was Patriarch Bodhi.
Even though Sun Wukong's spiritual intelligence was not yet fully developed at that time, hundreds of years of living freely in Shuiliandong were enough for him to start thinking about the ultimate meaning of life.
By chance, he learned that immortals, Buddhas, etc. could escape the reincarnation of the three realms. It was impossible for him not to yearn for it. He took a boat across the sea with his belly, and was finally taken in by Patriarch Bodhi at Xieyue Sanxing Cave in Fangcun Mountain, Lingtai.
"The Sword Comes"
Who is Patriarch Bodhi?
The most appropriate way to describe him is to say that he has jumped out of the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements. However, at the same time, he is an immortal who knows everything and is omnipotent.
With a name that combines Buddhism and Taoism, a Taoist temperament and Confucian thinking, he is an image of a master who is proficient in Taoism, Buddhism and other schools of thought. The Great Enlightenment Golden Immortal has an innocent appearance, the Western Wonderful Appearance Patriarch Bodhi; he has no birth and no death in the three or three elements, and he is full of energy and omnipotent God. The emptiness and silence change naturally, just like the original nature. The solemn body has the same longevity as heaven, and the great master of clear mind has experienced all kinds of calamities.
This is the first description of him in the original work of "Journey to the West". You can imagine what kind of suave and free-spirited strong man this Patriarch Bodhi is.
Doesn’t Patriarch Bodhi understand Sun Wukong’s heel? This is impossible, but he still taught Sun Wukong his abilities without reservation. At that time, he said that he was proficient in hundreds of schools of thought and asked Wukong to pick any one he wanted to learn. The low-level courses he asked Sun Wukong to choose were Taoist. The three hundred and sixty side doors of the Zimen include those of the Shuzimen such as inviting immortals and Fuluans, seeking good luck and avoiding evil, the Liuzimen's three teachings and nine schools of reading sutras, reciting Buddha's words, making pilgrimages to the gods, and the Jingzimen's meditating, precepts and observing fasts, and moving Zimen's methods of gathering yin and replenishing yang, climbing the bow and stepping on the crossbow, etc. are very complex.
When Bodhi talks about the Great Way, he can "talk about Taoism for a while, talk about Zen for a while, and the three schools of thought will cooperate with each other." From these we can see that Bodhi does not stick to any one sect, but is inclusive and accessible to all schools of thought.
Sun Wukong was named by him, but this is actually a wonderful foreshadowing, because the names of Zhu Wuneng and Sha Wujing were both named by Guanyin Bodhisattva.
These are the conclusions obtained from the research of later generations. "Journey to the West Pinghua", which was written earlier than "Journey to the West", also carefully clarified the wonderful relationship between Sun Wukong and Patriarch Bodhi.
"In the opening chapter of Jin Guan's book, it is said that Xin Yuan sought immortality to learn Taoism, and the immortal he worshiped was named Patriarch Subhuti. According to it, Subhuti was the great disciple of the Tathagata. There was no such name among the immortals at the beginning. This means that he is the immortal. Buddha."
Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect. What does this prove? The reason why Sun Wukong is what he is today is actually arranged step by step by Tathagata. Even including this time when he was trapped under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years, it was already calculated by the Buddha.
A monkey was plotted by countless people. Even if he had earth-shattering power, he would still end up with the pitiful end of accompanying Tang Monk.
Think about it, apart from being born, studying is arranged by others. He wanted to find a weapon that he could use. The Dragon King failed in his plan and instead lost his wife and lost his troops. He was seduced by the underworld and caused chaos in the underworld. All the monkeys were removed from the book of life and death. He was hooked up, then recruited, and given the position of Bi Ma Wen. After learning that his official position was humble, he broke out of Nantianmen and proclaimed himself the Monkey King. Then he was recruited again. He made a fuss about Pantao eating Laojun's golden elixir, and was sent by the Jade Emperor to send 100,000 heavenly soldiers. After arresting him, he finally gathered the power of Taishang Laojun and Erlang God to finally surrender Sun Wukong. He was imprisoned in the alchemy furnace but he developed a pair of piercing eyes, and finally caused havoc in the heavenly palace. The Tathagata Buddha cleaned up the mess and the world line was brought back.
Everyone in the team is familiar with all kinds of stories. To sum up, the first half of Sun Wukong's life is the first half of his life of struggle. Every time he was plotted by others, he never stopped resisting his fate, but he broke the rules every time.
It's just that he didn't know that everything was planned by others in the end. Just like the folk proverb says, so what if your Sun Wukong has a somersault cloud? In the end, there was still no way to escape from the palm of Tathagata Buddha.
Seeing Sun Wukong like this, Qi Zhen felt sad and couldn't help but sigh.
Great Sage, Great Sage, for whom are you working hard and busy for whom in this life?
"You monkey, why did you collapse the mountain?"
Tang Monk sniffed the smell of Sun Wukong's body that had not been bathed for five hundred years, and said with a sad face.
"I've been holding it in for too long, let's release it." Sun Wukong was a little embarrassed.
"Hurry up and wash up. Look, all the hair on his body is frizzy." Tang Seng touched his head randomly and said.
"Okay, Master, please stay here for a while, I, Sun, will come back as soon as I can."
I guess Sun Wukong also knew that the smell on his body was not pleasant, so he disappeared in front of everyone in a flash.
"Do you think my disciple is awesome?"
As soon as Sun Wukong left, Tang Seng changed his appearance and asked the team quite complacently.
"Of course he is, there is no one more powerful than him in this world...monkey." Qi Zhen responded with a smile.
Tang Seng's face smiled even more.
Roar!
Suddenly, a huge roar sounded from the forest, causing everyone's expressions to change.
This is……
"Why does it sound familiar to me?" Liang Sicheng asked doubtfully.
"That big cat won't meet the Great Sage..." Sun Jie said.
"It's over, my yak..." Zhang Qi whined.
"My money..." Qi Zhen wailed, her heart bleeding.
After a while, Sun Wukong came back, his body was already clean, and he still had a gift for Tang Monk in his hand.
A tiger bigger than both Sun Wukong and Sun Wukong.
boom.
The tiger's carcass was thrown haphazardly on the ground.
"What do you mean?" Tang Seng's expression changed drastically and he asked.
"Master, this beast tried to attack me while I was taking a shower, but I punched him to death with two punches. I thought that Master might have never seen such a big tiger, so I wanted to bring it over to show you." Sun Wukong hehe A smile.
The expressions on everyone's faces were wonderful.
Tang Seng's face was extremely ugly. He probably felt that what he just praised Sun Wukong for was a bit premature.
"How can you kill at will, you monkey?" Tang Monk said with a mournful face, "Amitabha."
"Great Sage, we met this guy before in the mountains, but we didn't fight at that time. We gave this beast a little sweetness and he left." Liang Sicheng explained. "Oh...then I'll throw it away." Sun Wukong said and was about to take action.
With a whoosh, the tiger's body disappeared in front of everyone.
"Great Sage, I will keep the tiger's body first so that it can be used later," Qi Zhen said.
"You are a good baby." Sun Wukong's eyes flashed and he said.
"If the Great Sage likes it, why don't you give it to you?" Qi Zhen took out the human race bag and handed it to Sun Wukong.
"My old grandson will not take away anyone's love, you can keep it for yourself." Sun Wukong waved his hand.
boom.
Sun Wukong knelt down towards Tang Monk and kowtowed three times in a serious manner.
"Master, from now on I will protect you from going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures." He said, "Master, please give me a name."
Tang Monk took out the yellow monk's robe from his bag and handed it to Sun Wukong, "Put on some clothes. Although you are a demon, you cannot walk around naked."
"Since you have taken my name, you will be called Sun Xingzhe from now on."
"Thank you, master."
When Sun Wukong puts on the monk's robe, it looks very suitable.
"Okay, master, come up."
Sun Wukong turned his head back, leaving his back to Tang Monk.
"What does this mean?" Tang Seng asked in confusion.
"I'm carrying you on my back. I have an ability called somersault cloud. I can travel 48,000 miles in one somersault. From here to Leiyin Temple in Xishan Mountain, it only takes one and a half somersaults, which saves you the trouble of traveling all the way." Sun Wukong said.
"Absolutely not." Tang Monk shook his head and waved his hands, "You must study the scriptures step by step to show your sincerity. This is absolutely impossible."
Sun Wukong turned around and scratched the monkey hair on his head, looking a little impatient.
"Great Sage, you have been here for five hundred years, so you are not afraid of this level of hardships, right?" Qi Zhen asked.
"Of course I'm not afraid."
"I have been suppressed for five hundred years. No matter how long this journey takes, it will only take one or two years. But you can't wait any longer?" Qi Zhen asked again.
"Not really." Sun Wukong shook his head.
"Then just listen to your master." Qi Zhen said with a smile.
"Forget it, I won't mention it." Sun Wukong said resignedly.
After such an experience, it was getting dark, so everyone found an Orion hut in the mountains and settled there, preparing to embark on the westward journey again tomorrow.
Sun Wukong was obviously very curious about the world five hundred years in the future. After Tang Monk settled in, he told the team and disappeared without a trace.
Qi Zhen peeled off the skin of the dead tiger and gave it to Tang Monk.
Others he kept in his own race bag.
At noon the next day, Sun Wukong came back. The look on his face was extremely excited, and he didn't know where he went to be happy.
Tang Seng's expression was extremely tired, and he hadn't slept a wink all night.
"Master, what's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep?" Sun Wukong asked.
"Master will treat it as a borrowed flower to offer to the Buddha. He will make the skin of the dead tiger into a leather skirt and give it to you overnight, so that you will not be naked." Tang Monk said with a yawn.
The excited look on Sun Wukong's face suddenly subsided, and if you look carefully, there are still a few tears shining in his eyes.
"Master, you are so good to me." He said with emotion.
The Monkey King has no fear of heaven and earth in his life. When has he ever been cared for and cared for like a child?
