Chapter 179 I always feel that Laojun wants to make big news
The story of Journey to the West that Guo Dalu came into contact with has many plots of "resolution and always thinking about things will not be that simple", among which let Sun Wukong see the Peach Garden is a representative event.
A monkey and a peach stealing expert, he didn't arrange other positions, but asked him to visit Taoyuan. What is the difference between this and letting a hungry wolf go to shepherd sheep?
Although the cycles of ripening every three thousand years, ripening every six thousand years and ripening every nine thousand years are not too long for those gods with long lifespans, Pantao, as the absolute protagonist of the theme party of Queen Mother, its effectiveness and value are self-evident.
The peaches that are ripe for three thousand years can help people become immortals and become physically healthy and lightly; those that are ripe for six thousand years can help people ascend and live forever; as for the purple-patterned core that is 9,000 years can make people live with the heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon are the same as Geng!
It can be seen from this that there is a reason why the Peach Banquet can attract so many gods to participate. Such peaches are also very attractive to immortals. They are definitely not just as simple as "the meat is crispy and juicy, and the taste is great". Especially for the purple-patterned core that is ripe for nine thousand years, ordinary gods may not be able to eat it.
Because the effects of the three types of peaches mentioned here are not an absolute isolated concept, the description of each effect actually corresponds to a state of practice, that is, only when a person's own conditions reach a certain stage can he eat peaches and achieve corresponding results.
For example, if a person cultivates essence and refining energy, eating a peach that has been for three thousand years can help him quickly break the realm; for example, if a person practices and sits in the spirit and encounters a bottleneck, eating a peach that has been for six thousand years can help him to be unstoppable and go further...
In short, different peaches correspond to different stages of practice. If the state is not in the state, you must not eat them randomly.
Bodhi Patriarch once solemnly emphasized that practicing the art of immortality will have a long way to go. Even if you get the golden elixir, you have to face the three disasters and disasters, and you have to face the disasters of heaven and earth. If an ordinary person eats a nine thousand-year-old purple-patterned core and breaks the realm one after another, you will probably be directly killed by the heavenly thunder tribulation, not to mention the subsequent "yin fire tribulation" and "龙文日本語".
As long as you understand the way of practice, you can easily draw these conclusions. Now the question is, the Jade Emperor tactfully sent these obviously great peaches to Sun Wukong. What is the mentality? What is the purpose?
The message from Sun Wukong came back soon: "Do you give the Peach Garden to Lao Sun? I'm afraid the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother won't want to do it."
Guo Dalu always felt that Sun Wukong's words were sarcastic and replied tentatively: "Wukong, your current realm, will the peaches still work for you?"
Sun Wukong: "I have obtained the Golden Pill's Great Way of Eternal Life, and I have been taught by my mentor to avoid the benefits and harms of the three disasters, and live a life of the sky. Therefore, one or two peaches are just a taste of the freshness and satisfying my craving..."
Guo Dalu thought to himself: "It seems that I am thinking too much. Peaches may be like apples to ordinary people, which have the effect of supplementing vitamins, but it is impossible to make your resistance (realm) immediately have a qualitative leap."
Sun Wukong then replied: "But if the ripe peaches in the garden were eaten by Lao Sun, there might be unexpected surprises."
Guo Dalu was stunned and quickly replied: "An unexpected surprise? Is there another realm above the Golden Pill Eternal Life Avenue?"
Sun Wukong: "The road to cultivation has never ended. Even the few people who call themselves ancestors dare not say that they have reached the end of their practice. Your question is really stupid."
After Guo Dalu asked that question, he felt a little naughty. Although the Golden Elixir Longevity Dao can live with the heaven and earth and with the sun and the moon, the heaven and earth will grow old, and the sun and the moon will eventually be destroyed.
Transcending the way of heaven, incarnating into the immortal law, and becoming a true "eternal person", may be the true meaning of practice.
Guo Dalu replied awkwardly: "The heights you stand are different, and the scenery you see is naturally different. But then again, Wukong, you have never told me the difference between the state of practice."
Sun Wukong: "My old man was born a saint, and after attaining enlightenment, he was a scattered immortal. Now he has been a celestial immortal, and he has to pursue the position of the Golden Immortal Fruit in the future. So how can he know what realms ordinary practitioners need to go through?"
Guo Dalu: "..." So don't talk to those evil people about improving their realm, as they are easily hit.
"So, these peaches may help Wukong pick the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit?" Guo Dalu decided to shift the topic to Wukong.
Sun Wukong: "How is it so easy? The celestial immortal, one step at a time, can you survive it? It depends entirely on your own fortune... What do you say to you for? You are still far from it."
This time, Guo Dalu did not care about Sun Wukong's ridicule, but stared at the eight words "Celestial Immortal Golden Immortal, one step at a disaster". He was penetrated with a pipa bone, burned by the Bagua furnace, pressed on the Five Elements Mountain, and forced to embark on the West to obtain the scriptures... Could these be all the disasters of Wukong ascending to the Golden Immortal?
Sun Wukong has already stepped down, and Guo Dalu is still recalling the plot and thinking about Sun Wukong's words.
The original work seems to have mentioned some issues of realm, but the writing is extremely light and often mentioned in one stroke. Today, this talk with Sun Wukong attracted Guo Dalu's attention.
"It seems that we need to go through "Journey to the West" again." Guo Dalu said in his heart.
...
The next week, the topic of "a student master who can recite the Four Books and Five Classics" was still fermenting. The school newspaper, student work briefing and school communication magazine successively asked Guo Dalu for interviews, but he successfully avoided them.
In this era, it is strange that college students can make news even if they recite the Four Books and Five Classics.
What’s even more bizarre is that Lin Jie actually suggested that Guo Dalu do live broadcasts and recite the Four Books and Five Classics on a live broadcast!
"It will definitely be popular," Lin Jie said firmly, "There are people who can recite such ancient books. How fresh is this idea. Everyone must like to read it. Then you will be able to recite them all in a good mood and give you gifts in minutes."
Guo Dalu Waterfall Khan said, "It's better to be Lin Meiren, you are more interested in it."
...
On December 23, An Hongdou called Guo Dalu again and confirmed that he would attend his birthday party on time tomorrow night.
"I have bought the air tickets, see you then." Guo Dalu replied.
"Yeah! I'll wait for you."
"We agreed in advance and try not to call Brother Butterfly, call Brother Dalu or call him by his name at that time."
"Okay, Brother Butterfly."
“…”
The next morning, Guo Dalu flew to Yanjing from Chuzhou Airport. After getting on the plane, he took out "Journey to the West" from the Qingdeng World to start reading.
When he saw the fifth chapter "The Great Saint of the Peaches steals the elixir and fights against the gods of the Heavenly Palace to catch monsters", he noticed a detail, that is, the person who proposed to arrange specific work for Sun Wukong was Jingyang Zhenren, one of the four heavenly masters of Taoism.
After that, the Jade Emperor took the opportunity to give Pantao Garden to Sun Wukong.
The one who proposed to recruit Sun Wukong twice was Taibai Jinxing, and this time he advised the Jade Emperor (as opposed to saying that he was singing and talking in a tacit way) was Jingyang Zhenren.
Guo Dalu vaguely felt that what these two people did was instructed by the same person.
Then there is a paragraph in the middle of the fifth chapter that is quite interesting, that is, after Sun Wukong got drunk, he wandered around in a daze to the Tushita Palace, which was above thirty-three days?
Tushi Palace, Lihentian above the thirty-three days, Taoist leader’s temple, Taoist ancestor’s base camp... It’s hard to find such a place even when you are awake. Even if you find it, how many terrifying formations are waiting for you?
As a result, Sun Wukong was drunk and humming a song, and walked casually, and came to the Tushita Palace in a daze. Can you believe it?
And, after he entered the Tushita Palace without any obstacles, he found the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir that Laojun refined, who dared to believe it?
If the "god assist" of Taishang Laojun is not obvious enough, then in the next two chapters, he first stopped Guanyin from using Yangliu to hit Wukong, and then used the Bagua Furnace to forge his golden body and igneous eyes. It should have basically exposed his "good person identity"?
"I always feel that Laojun of Taishang wants to make a big news..."
Guo Dalu turned his eyes away from the book and fell into deep thought.
Chapter completed!
