The Monkey King

Chapter 21:

Seeing Subhuti’s brows furrowed, Qingfengzi slowly placed a black stone on the chess line and asked, “Master, do you think that what you said to the fifth junior brother tonight is a little overdue?”

Hearing the words, Subhuti shook his head slowly, but his eyes never left the chessboard. He stretched out his hand and glued a white stone onto the chessboard and said, “You know why, except for Wukong, who has just entered the classroom, all the nine disciples who entered the room have something to do with it. You are successful, but you left your fifth junior brother Qing Yunzi alone in the view?”

“The apprentice doesn’t know.”

Subhuti smiled lightly, and said helplessly: “Your five junior brothers are superior in talent, but they are honest and paranoid, lacking in scheming, lacking a bit of shrewdness, and sticking to the old rules, pursuing fairness in everything, not knowing how to advance or retreat. , and there are many things that are unclear.”

After a long sigh, Subhuti continued: “You need to know that cultivating immortals is originally a peeping, and the path to immortality is dangerous, although you have achieved something, if you have such a temperament, if you go out of this slanting moon three-star cave, you are afraid that you will be overwhelmed by that person. The gods and Buddhas gnawed at nothing.”

Qingfengzi lowered his head and said nothing, glued the sunspot and put it on.

“I have sent him to take care of the internal affairs of the teacher for the past few years. It was originally an intentional experience. I am watching it tonight, I am afraid it is even worse than before. It is really nature. That monkey head, whose cultivation base has reached the late stage of concentration, it has only been a few months, but it is somewhat unexpected as a teacher. With such aptitude, it is even better than that of Yang Jian in those days. I hope.” After saying that, he tugged his sleeves and placed Bai Zi in front of Qing Fengzi, and then asked, “Qiyinmu, the heaven and earth that I have entrusted to you to find, do you have any news?”

“The apprentice heard that Nanji Xianweng had a piece in his hand, so he replaced it with a few pills and brought it to the master.” After saying that, Qing Yunzi put his hand into his sleeve, and the whole body was black, about five fingers wide, one A wooden block with more than a foot was placed in front of Subhuti with both hands.

took the wood block and put it aside. Subhuti said, “It’s good to find it. The big piece of wood that the master obtained in the early years was cut into nine pieces. Now there is no one left. It’s good to find it.”

Having said that, he is another child.

Qing Yunzi tugged his sleeves, put down his son, and asked, “Master, is this for the tenth junior brother?”

Subhuti didn’t answer, he just said with a smile: “Your nine brothers have all of them, and he is also my disciple. How can you not? Have you met your third brother, Dan Tongzi, over the years?”

“The apprentice was walking in the North, and the third apprentice traveled to Dongzhou. I never met him. I heard it mentioned by the eighth apprentice. He said that the third apprentice was busy forging instruments, and he was looking for all kinds of heaven and earth treasures. Why did the master suddenly mention it?”

“There is no one to take care of the things in the future, and I want to leave it to your three junior brothers.”

“Oh?” Qingfeng Zizhi’s hand paused slightly: “Now what is in view is not Fifth Junior Brother…”

“Your fifth junior brother, hehe, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get out of the confusion tonight. Don’t mention it. Don’t mention it.” Subhuti shook his head and waved his hand.

Qingfengzi was silent, and after a few moves back and forth, Fang asked: “If it comes to the character of being a teacher, the eighth younger brother Ling Yunzi is the best, and it is also the best teacher. My unworthy disciples have also been entrusted to them in recent years. By his side, he has grown a lot. If the master repairs a book, no matter where Lingyun junior is, he will return immediately. Why does the master want to belong to the third junior brother Dan Tongzi? He has a weird and eccentric temperament. I heard that some of his disciples ran away because he couldn’t stand his temper. He was not the best candidate. If he was in charge, he would probably be in the lead for the fifth junior brother. Junior Brother Sun Wukong is only afraid of…”

“I’m afraid I’ll have to suffer~” Subhuti sighed happily, “It’s better to suffer hardships in my Xieyue Sanxingdong Cave, but it’s better to end up in trouble outside in the past. Besides, the Way of the Practitioner is a side branch, just like the magic art, and it is easy to cultivate. Success, but it is extremely dangerous. It was originally a popular practice before the conferred gods, but now the world is peaceful and prosperous, and the heavens are everywhere, if there is no place to release the anger, in the end, the practice will probably be a basket of water.”

Qingfengzi looked away from the chessboard, stared at Subhuti for a long time, and said, “Master has the best intentions for those ten junior brothers. However, there is nothing wrong with what the five junior brothers said tonight. Master is like this, In the future, I’m afraid…there will be no peace.”

Subhuti slowly straightened up, looked at Qingfengzi and said, “Is peace good?”

“This…”

Subhuti picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, “My Taoist mind method, everyone in the world knows the four levels. Concentrating, absorbing, refining, and transforming. But few people know that there is a fifth level above. It’s called the Tao of Heaven. Now the Taoist ancestors have practiced ‘inaction’ and the Buddha has practiced ‘selflessness’. Immortals are supposed to act against the sky, but they cultivate one that conforms to the destiny. Hmph, it’s really ridiculous! Ridiculous! Cultivating immortals and seeking Taoism is a matter of stealing the heavens and the earth. , but in the end, it has all been cultivated like this, what is the benefit to the common people? It is no wonder that the second disciple of the Buddha, Jin Chanzi, wants to make a big wish to save all sentient beings.”

Subhuti smiled wryly and let out a long sigh.

Qing Fengzi was shocked and asked quickly, “Is the master going to help him?”

Subhuti reluctantly said, “Jin Chanzi wants to follow the way of universality, to go beyond Buddhism and establish a school of his own, and to cultivate for his teacher and to be in the same vein as the Supreme Being, how can he have that ability. But just follow the flow and push the boat along the water. It’s just to win people. Master, you have to be worthy of the sound of the apprentice. The monkey head wants to reverse the destiny, and he has already pointed out the way for him to be a teacher when he first entered the view-the Tao of enlightenment, a small achievement, and the end of eight hundred years of life. But the monkey head wants to The way of practitioners… I’m afraid it is also due to the fate of the heart, but now that it has come three hundred years earlier, it has added some variables to the luck of the world.”,

Having said that, Subhuti glued a white seed.

“Snapped!”

After setting it up, he raised his head and stroked his long beard lightly, with a smile on his face.

Qing Fengzi opened his eyes wide and glanced at the chessboard for a long time, Fang Gongshou sighed: “Is it not as good as Master?”

Subhuti chuckled softly: “Although the Dao of the enlightened is not as strong as the Dao of the practitioner, it is rarely damaged, and most of it is the end of life. It comes down to the word ‘calculation’. It’s like playing a chessboard game, you need to be proactive and plan ahead in order to win. The Tao. The person in the world who is best at this Tao must be the Taoist Taishang Laojun.”

“Isn’t the master just one step away from the way of heaven? When it comes to the word ‘calculation’, the master may not necessarily lose to the master.” Qingfengzi complimented.

“It’s an inch away, a thousand miles away.” Subhuti waved his hands gently, propped up his body and paced to the window, looking at the rolling clouds in the moonlight in the sky, and said with a smile: “That Taishang has long since cultivated the way of heaven and is inactive, and he is a tall 30-year-old. The Three Heavenly Dousi Palace, although only in charge of teaching and not dealing with political affairs, there are very few things in the world that can escape his eyes. How can I compare it? But, if this Wukong who practiced Taoism three hundred years earlier After leaving the mountain, I don’t know if he can still count.”

As soon as these words came out, a thunderbolt pierced the sky, reflecting Subhuti’s aged face.

“When the storm is stormy, the sky and the earth recreate the sun. Hahahaha.”

Hearty laughter echoed in the wind.

Qing Fengzi bowed deeply.

…

Above the Jiuzhongtian, Taishang Laojun suddenly opened his eyes, frowned, and his ten fingers that had been slack slammed into the flesh.

A drop of blood slowly seeps from the corner of his mouth.

The Taoist boy in purple hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “Why is the master like this?”

“click-” a crisp sound.

Taishang Laojun turned his head slowly, his eyes widened, and he was terrified.

An imperceptible crack has appeared on the huge black rock that floats in the sky and emits countless text phantoms.

Taishang’s wrinkled eyes narrowed into a slit, and he hesitated: “The way of heaven suddenly cracks, who has such a skill?”

…

In the midst of the strong wind and rain, Subhuti stood against the wind with a smile on his face.
