Speaking of which, the Monkey King brought a group of monkeys to live in the water curtain cave, not afraid of the sun and wind, and was so happy. He enjoyed three or four hundred years of time in Huaguo Mountain. One day, the monkeys were playing as they used to, but the Monkey King suddenly showed a sad look on his face.

After asking the monkeys, they learned that the Monkey King thought that he would inevitably go to the King of Hell Palace in the future, and he was immediately worried.

The first thing he received about this kind of worry was the ridicule of the monkeys, laughing at him for being greedy for the sake of his desire, but the Monkey King does have the basis of practicing Taoism, and at least he can break out of this environment.

It is extremely difficult to break out of the environment you are in and explore the world with a broader perspective. Many people are trapped to death by their own perspective.

An old monkey now suggested that the Monkey King could go to the gods in the ancient cave fairy mountain and learn how to live forever, so that he could be free from fear of King Yama and transcend life and death.

"It turns out that there are 'experts' to give me some advice, hum," Chen Kan said, looking at this scene, these monkeys lived in Huaguo Mountain all year round, so how could they have such insights?

The old monkey who guided the Monkey King to seek immortals and Taoism was transformed by the Western Buddhist Medicine Buddha. Due to magic, it did not attract the attention of the monkeys.

The monkey king was also an action-oriented person. He immediately felt that he left Huaguo Mountain to find the gods and learn the method of immortality. The next day, the monkeys held a banquet to see him off. On the morning of the third day, the monkey king took a bamboo raft made by the monkeys, brought some fruits, left Huaguo Mountain to find the gods who were unknown where they were.

From Dongsheng Shenzhou, they crossed the ocean and went through hardships, and finally entered the territory of the Nanzhan Continent. Unlike Dongsheng Shenzhou, people from Nanzhan Continent often see monsters and even do business with each other, so they are not afraid of the Monkey King.

After staying in the world for seven or eight years, the Monkey King learned human language, learned human etiquette, visited the Great Wall, and traveled to small counties. He met many people of fame and fortune, but he failed to find the gods. However, he was not discouraged and walked westward.

The Monkey King walked west to the beach. He thought that there would be gods overseas, so he made a bamboo raft alone, floated across the West Sea, and finally arrived at Xiniu Hezhou.

I crossed the ocean twice, although I encountered some dangers at the sea, I was in danger and did not lose my life because of this.

In the end, he really found a cave, but saw a stone tablet about three meters high and eight feet wide standing on the cliff. There were ten large characters on it - Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and Silent Moon Sanxing Cave.

Here, Sun Wukong met his first master, Master Bodhi.

Many people in the past life speculated that the Bodhi Patriarch in "Journey to the West" was the Taoist Cunti who took Kong Xuan away in "The Romance of the Gods".

Because the article's descriptions of these two people are not much different.

The description of Bodhi Patriarch in "Journey to the West" is as follows: The Great Awakening Golden Immortal is without dirt, the Western Abbot Bodhi. It is neither born nor destroyed, and the three three things are indestructible, and the whole energy is full of spirit and spirit is full of compassion. Empty and silence naturally follow the changes, and the true nature is willing to do it. It is the same as the heaven and the solemn body, and the great master Mingxin has experienced kalpas.

The description of Taoist Zhunti in "The Romance of the Gods" is as follows: When the Great Awakening Golden Immortal is the same as Bodhi, the Western wonderful Dharma Ancestor, is neither born nor destroyed, and has three or three actions, and is full of energy and full of spirit and soul. Empty and silence naturally follow changes, and the true nature is to be done. It is the same as the heaven and the solemn body, and the great master of Mingxin after a lifetime.

Except for the differences at the beginning, the others are basically the same.

Of course, these are all speculations. Chen Kan saw it with his own eyes. In fact, this Bodhi Patriarch is the incarnation of Buddha Tathagata.

As for how Chen Kan saw it, it is actually very simple, because of the "technology demon".

After the Monkey King was born, Chen Kan found an opportunity to send this "technology demon" into the Monkey King's sea of ​​consciousness. Through the technology demon, Chen Kan could have the same vision as the Monkey King, and naturally he could see the true body of Bodhi Patriarch.

This technology demon is really useful. It is worthy of being produced by a cruise ship. Even the Buddha of Tathagata could not find any trace of Chen Kan. Originally, Chen Kan was worried that the technology demon would be discovered by Bodhi Patriarch, but now it seems that the worry is completely redundant.

Although Chen Kan is not short of magical powers and magic, and he can't even finish learning, he has to see the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earth Demons and Somersault Clouds that he had been jealous of for a long time when he was a child.

Then, Master Bodhi gave the Monkey King a name - Sun Wukong.

Now it seems that the Buddhist color of this name is very rich. Whether it is "enlightenment" or "emptiness", there is no need to talk about the former. The one who emphasizes enlightenment is Buddhism, and the latter even reflects its ambitions.

The reason why this is said is related to the history of Buddhism entering Middle Earth.

At that time, how Buddhism entered the Middle Earth under the encirclement of Taoism and Confucianism? One of the magic weapons to win was the word "emptiness".

There are many doctrines in Buddhism, and their behavior is contrary to Confucianism and Taoism. For example, shaving a head, Confucianism emphasizes "body, hair, skin, and parents". Therefore, when Buddhism first entered the Central Plains, it called itself a branch of the Taoist sect, and with the help of the Taoist sect, it gradually gained a foothold in the Central Plains.

Later, I gradually gained a foothold, but I faced another big problem, which is how to distinguish it from the Taoist sect. If it has always been a branch of the Taoist sect, it will not be able to develop and I will always be able to follow the Taoist sect.

The most important method is to debate. As long as I prove that my thoughts are higher than yours and are different from you, then our two sects will naturally be different.

The Taoist thoughts emphasize "nothingness", everything is nothing, and everything is nothing. This was a popular trend at that time. In the debates of various sects, it was unfavorable. In order to deal with the Taoist thought, Buddhism introduced another idea - emptiness.

Compared to "nothing", "emptiness" is better in terms of idea, realm and height, so he finally won the debate.

Slowly, Buddhism separated from the Taoist sect and became an independent sect, and began to develop vigorously.

Therefore, the name "Sun Wukong" is not a blind name. The word "就" does not mean to enter Middle Earth again.

However, Sun Wukong was a monkey after all, and was too anxious. He was not very interested in the various things taught by Master Bodhi. He did not learn this or learn it.

"What can you do if you don't learn this way or learn this way?" Master Bodhi jumped off the platform, held the ruler in his hand, walked forward, hit Sun Wukong on the head three times, and then left with his hands behind his back.

At the third o'clock in the evening, Sun Wukong secretly came to the room of Master Bodhi.

"My master agreed to everyone in front of the altar yesterday. When the disciples were about to go to the third day, he taught me to pass on my principles from the back door, so he boldly worshiped the master's bed."
