I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Although Yang Lin really wanted to tell Monkey, don't you know how to master the Heavenly Immortal Art? You can also perform seventy-two transformations, and you can follow Douyun... Teach me all these skills.
However, he couldn't say.
Old people often say that someone is like a monkey. The meaning of this word is not derogatory, but a compliment.
The source is in the monkey.
Monkeys are generally very shrewd, or very smart.
Especially monkeys who have trained to the level of Monkey King.
He is the heel of Lingming Stone Monkey again, how can he not be smart?
Just think of him as a cunning human being.
The character created by Yang Lin is a pure and simple man who is dedicated to seeking Taoism, has a blood feud with Buddhism, is kind-hearted, and can't bear to see the suffering in the world.
Well, also, he has a relatively simple and honest temperament, trusts people easily and has no scheming ideas.
To put it simply.
He is an honest Taoist priest.
As an honest Taoist priest, what should you do?
He should do everything except try to steal other people's skills.
No matter which world you are in, whether you are practicing martial arts or cultivating immortals and demons.
The special skills of practitioners are never easily taught.
"The Dharma cannot be passed down to six ears."
"Tao should not be preached lightly..."
Yang Lin knows this truth, monkeys know it, even those martial arts people in the Republic of China know it.
Everyone knows how to keep some at the bottom of the box.
Not to mention teaching the disciples to starve to death of the master, in fact, sometimes, if you teach randomly, you may harm yourself.
Although Taoist monks and martial arts people will not limit themselves by cause and effect, in fact, every skill you teach has created every disciple. Whether they do evil or good, you are responsible.
Yang Lin didn't know if the monkey's learned skills had a command not to be passed on to others. He probably did, but judging from the monkey's behavior in the world, he actually didn't take this commandment to heart.
When he left the mountain, Patriarch Bodhi must have told him not to cause trouble, not to do this, not to do that. After he came down from the mountain, he didn't take it to heart at all.
He lived such a wanton life back then, and after being suppressed for nearly five hundred years, the accumulation of hostility in his heart and his desire for freedom have been affecting him.
So, will he take some precepts to heart?
Probably not.
Yang Lin was weighing it secretly in his heart.
Therefore, the only obstacle is that the monkey is unstable and suspicious, which is a shortcoming shared by smart people.
The key point is not to make him suspicious.
If you take the initiative to seek the true Dharma, you will most likely not be able to obtain it. Instead, it will make the other party suspicious and plan to go bankrupt.
However, if the monkey is allowed to take the initiative to learn by himself.
All problems are solved.
I made up a story, and I tried my best to build relationships, complain, and even try to rescue you with great difficulty. How can you be so embarrassed if you don't do anything?
On the way to becoming an immortal, there are three disasters and nine disasters.
I have to become a true immortal to help you.
However, I can’t become an immortal now, I don’t have any skills, and I’m facing difficulties everywhere. If you don’t help me, well, I can’t help you either.
Let’s figure this out for ourselves.
Yang Lin had countless thoughts running through his mind, and at the moment, he didn't mention a word about becoming an immortal.
He knew that as long as the monkey understood this truth, he would naturally take the initiative to ask for it if he wanted to.
"Drink, it's rare to meet old friends. Brother Monkey, eat more. Next, Xiaodao will return to Chang'an. I would like to ask all of you fellow Taoists about becoming immortals, but..."
Yang Lin's face showed just the right amount of embarrassment.
"But what's in the way?"
The monkey was really concerned now.
Because he understood it.
The other party actually wants to help him.
But due to lack of strength, he couldn't defeat the Arhat at the top of the mountain who closed his eyes and kept to himself, wandering around in all directions.
Arhats are not scary. If they were encountered during the chaos in the Heavenly Palace, they would just be beaten to death with a stick.
However, now that guy is standing on the top of the mountain, guarding next to the Buddha. He will not act like a dead person, letting people walk by under his nose, and even taking off the Buddha stickers without knowing it.
Therefore, no matter what method he comes up with, even if he is not rejected by Buddha's power, if he wants to save himself, the Arhat with Long Eyebrows must pass this level.
If you want to rob a prison, of course you have to deal with the jailer.
If you can't even defeat the jailer, don't even try to save anyone.
"Alas, when Zhou Tianguan was destroyed and my master and brothers were killed, I packed up some classics and fled to the Tang Dynasty. I hid in the barrier and became a minor official."
"It's not that I'm greedy for power, but I borrowed the luck of the human dynasty to avoid the pursuit of Buddhism. Over the years, I have lived a stable life, and I can come out for a breath of air and stretch my hands and feet from time to time."
Yang Lin sighed.
"Unfortunately, precisely because I have been hiding, not daring to meet fellow practitioners, and not daring to travel around the world, the result is that I work behind closed doors, and have not made much progress in terms of my horizons and Taoism."
When he said this, he said passionately: "But it doesn't matter. Yuan Tiangang in the capital studied under a famous family and doesn't have much sectarian knowledge. He should be able to find a way to avoid disasters, which may increase his chances of success.
It really doesn't work. I heard that in the Four Seas Dragon Palace, there are some dragon species distributed in the rivers, lakes and seas. Their inheritance is complete. Killing a few dragons and searching the memory may yield some results.
Also, outside the Central Plains, there are some demons in the wild lands. They may have some experience in becoming demon immortals, and they can still get some secret techniques by finding a way. "
Yang Lin was full of confidence, packed up the cargo, and was about to leave.
We ate and chatted.
He did not forget his new "friend", "Brother Monkey, will I come see you when I have time? If everything goes well, when I become a true immortal, I will come to help you out of trouble."
The monkey also sighed: "Brother Taoist, don't be too anxious. It's a pity that I'm pressed here by the bald donkey, and I can't help protect the law. However, it's okay for Taoist brother to visit. Please don't be too obsessed with killing people." Things like souls and inherited secrets are usually tightly sealed, and some of the memory fragments found are prone to errors and omissions, and it will be difficult to overcome the tribulation."
"Also, when I was visiting friends, I also heard some news. Since the establishment of the Heavenly Court, there have been special departments responsible for the punishments of thunder and wind and fire.
According to what my old friend said, if you become an immortal in the lower realm, have connections, background, and powerful people or demons to protect you, you will be able to tolerate the situation and follow the story.
But if you are a casual cultivator with no feet and want to get through it, it is basically impossible. Rather than saying it is a catastrophe of immortality, it is better to say it is a catastrophe of death. "
"There is always a glimmer of hope for success. Brother Monkey, please rest assured. Xiaodao believes that we will succeed. Please just wait patiently."
Yang Lin was not disappointed either. He waved his hand and left along the mountain road with his load.
Go quietly, just like he came quietly.
Didn't cause any commotion.
The monkey half-stretched his hands and forgot to wipe off the oily smell on his palms. He opened his mouth and wanted to call out the little Taoist priest who was walking further and further away, but he did not speak.
He frowned, thinking carefully.
Do you really want to help me out?
People's hearts are deceitful, isn't this too coincidental?
Knowing that I had been hungry for a long time, he brought me some food.
Knowing my identity, he deliberately mentioned the trouble in the Heavenly Palace back then.
My "close friends" know those past events, but they will never take another look at me, for fear of contaminating the cause and effect.
Otherwise, even if my enemies know that I am suffering now and have no magical powers, they can transform into a little Taoist priest. I can't see through it. What does he want to do? What are you planning?
I thought about it for a long time.
The monkey sighed again.
Five hundred years, five hundred years.
Just had a good meal.
I remember that in those days, I was tired of eating the delicacies of nectar, jade, peaches and peaches, and I threw thousands of them to the little monkeys.
Now, I want one but can't get it.
Will he come again?
He wouldn't be struck to death by lightning just like that.
Or was he killed while searching for the secret method to overcome the tribulation?
This little Taoist priest doesn't look very smart.
Hopefully he won't die so soon.
what do I do?
No one comes to chat or drink with me anymore.
A huge sense of loss arose from the heart of the monkey.
The prestige back then was just prestige.
Now, he is actually just a dying old man, an old monkey.
I want to get it, but I am afraid of losing it.
Hope to be saved, but afraid of being cheated.
