Chapter 431 Reading and Recognition
Read and read?

These monsters all looked dazed.

I only heard that the human kingdom needs to read and write, and when the monsters also need to read and write.

However, since Lu Fengqiu had already spoken, these monsters naturally did not dare to refute.

Of course, they listened to whatever Lu Fengqiu said.

Naturally, there is no rush to teach monsters to read and write.

Lu Fengqiu directly created an avatar to stay in the dojo to teach these monsters to read and write.

This is not a day's work.

At least a few years.

It is easy to recognize characters, but it is not easy to let these monsters read books, read Daozang thoroughly, and get the truth from them.

It is also impossible for Lu Fengqiu to be a teacher to these monsters all the time.

After he separated an avatar, things became much simpler.

……

In the blink of an eye, several months have passed.

Tang Seng and his disciples were still dawdling on the westbound road.

After they experienced the calamity of Xiaoleiyin Temple, they took Yang Jian and Yang Jian's mother on the road together.

On the way, Monkey King stood up for Yang Jian again and drove Li Jing and his son away.

However, in the end Yang Jian and his mother are still the same as in the plot.

The great fairy entered the underworld, and Yang Jian followed Tang Seng to recite the mantra of rebirth.

It didn't work, so Yang Jian recited it alone again. His filial piety moved the gods, so everyone recited the mantra of passing away together with him.

The great fairy Xueliang was saved and returned to the Heavenly Court, where she was entrusted with a new post by the Jade Emperor.

In the next few months, Tang Seng and his disciples lived in peace.

It will take 14 years for the Tang monk to learn from his apprentices.

Although it is said that there will be ninety-nine and 81 difficulties, the 81 difficulties will be divided into 14 years, and they will not fall from one pit to another. There will always be a few months of buffer time for them to hurry.

Until this day, they came to a village and met a black bear spirit that had already transformed into a shape.

The black bear spirit, a monster, has a different brain circuit than ordinary people, and can always have some unexpected ideas.

Black Bear Spirit's master is the Golden Pond Sage Monk of Guanyin Temple.

This pair of mentors and apprentices can be regarded as a strange flower to a strange flower, the best meets the best.

Jinchi has always paid attention to face-saving, and Guanyin Temple has also been resplendent by him, which can be described as a model of Buddhist paperbackers.

Jin Chi is both face-saving and greedy. He fell in love with Tang Seng's colorful cassock and wanted to take it for himself. He even set fire to the Buddhist monastery. In the end, he almost lost his life, but he still refused to repent.

In the original plot, even Guanyin had no choice but to turn him into a three-inch villain and let him fend for himself.

Jin Chi's anger at Guanyin is also eye-opening.

The Avalokitesvara in this world is not bad, not to mention beautiful, but also very reasonable, with a merciful appearance.

It's a pity that even such a Guanyin had no choice but to face Jin Chi, and was hard-pressed by Jin Chi.

Tang Seng and his disciples who stayed in the Guanyin Temple were so disturbed by the two masters and disciples in Jinchi.

Even a good old man like Tang Seng was extremely helpless towards Jin Chi.

Sun Wukong looked melancholy, even though he had all the skills, there was nothing he could do with this golden pond.

Zhu Bajie wobbled and said, "Damn monkey, who usually shows off his might, why is he so weak now? If the brachial monkey is here, there must be a way to get back Master's cassock."

Sun Wukong heard the words, glared at Zhu Bajie, and said angrily: "Fat pig, you miss the arm-armed ape so much, why don't you go to Wan Yao Kingdom to find him?"

Zhu Bajie smashed his mouth and said, "I want to go, but it's not suitable for me to go."

"Besides, this is the Avalokitesvara Temple. If we have something to do, we should go to the Avalokitesvara. How can we bother his arm-armed ape?"

Sun Wukong heard the words, clapped his hands and said: "That's right, this is the Guanyin Temple. Since this golden pond is a follower of Guanyin, it is better to ask Guanyin to teach him."

Zhu Bajie said from the side: "I didn't mean you, brother monkey, you are now the number one God of War in the Three Realms, even Yang Jian is no longer your opponent."

"How could you bother Guanyin Bodhisattva with such a trivial matter?"

"In my opinion, the gibbon monkey shouldn't have helped you improve your strength back then."

"Apart from being able to fight a little better than before, it seems like nothing has changed."

Upon hearing this, Monkey King rushed towards Zhu Bajie and said, "You fat pig, you can't do this, and you can't do that. If you have the ability, why don't you go and get Master's cassock back."

"If you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I'll chop off your pig's ears."

Hearing this, Zhu Bajie flicked his sleeves, looked sloppy, and said, "Oh, brother monkey, I'm just joking, why do you have to be so serious?"

At this time, Tang Seng, who was sitting quietly and chanting sutras, said: "Amitabha, Wukong, Wuneng, have you forgotten what the teacher usually taught you?"

After Zhu Bajie heard this, he immediately moved to Tang Seng's side, and said with a smile, "Master, Brother Monkey and I were just joking."

Tang Seng glanced at Zhu Bajie and said, "Wu Neng, since the last time the Armed Ape benefactor took you to heaven and let you meet Chang'e, you seem to have become more and more lazy."

Zhu Bajie was embarrassed when he heard the words, and said: "Master, how can there be..."

Sun Wukong talked on the side: "It's still Master, you old man with sharp eyes, knowing that this dead fat pig will be more and more lazy."

Tang Seng looked at Sun Wukong again, and said, "Wukong, although Wu Neng has his faults, why not you?"

"Now the golden hoop on your head is gone. For the teaching of the teacher, don't you also go in the left ear and out the right ear?"

Sun Wukong heard the words and said straightly: "Master, I don't listen to you anymore."

Tang Seng said: "Since Jinchi wants the cassock, I will give it to him. We, master and apprentice, will set off on the road tomorrow."

"Learning Buddhist scriptures is the most important thing, cassocks are nothing more than external possessions."

Sun Wukong heard the words and said: "No, Master, the cassock was given to you by Guanyin Bodhisattva, why should you give it to the golden pond?"

"That Jinchiqiu is shameless, we can't encourage his unhealthy tendencies."

Tang Seng frowned and said, "Wukong, you just said you should listen to what your teacher said, why don't you listen now?"

Sun Wukong said: "Master, one yard is equal to one yard. This matter is obviously wrong with the Golden Pool. Why should we back down?"

Tang Seng said: "Wukong, if you still recognize me as your master, we will set off tomorrow morning."

Seeing this, Monkey King had no choice but to nod.

"Understood, Master."

At this moment, a golden light lit up in the meditation room.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva suddenly appeared in the meditation room.

At this time, only Tang Seng, Monkey King, and Zhu Bajie were in the meditation room.

Seeing the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the three of them hurriedly bowed down to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Disciples Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong and Zhu Wuneng have seen Guanyin Bodhisattva."

The three masters and apprentices said in unison.

Immediately afterwards, Monkey King said: "Bodhisattva, why are you here?"

"Did you hear my grandson's voice, come to help us get cassocks?"

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva looked at the three of them with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, but he didn't answer Sun Wukong's words immediately, but asked, "Wukong, where is the golden hoop on your head?"

Sun Wukong was a little embarrassed when he heard the words.

Originally, it was obvious that the golden hoop was used by Guanyin, so he put it on, but now that the golden hoop is gone, he is a little embarrassed.

Oh, what is this called.

However, Sun Wukong still said truthfully: "Bodhisattva, the golden hoop on my head was taken off by the arm-armed ape."

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva nodded slightly when he heard the words, and said, "Wukong, the magic spell is originally used to subdue the hostility in your heart."

"Today, you master and apprentice have not yet obtained the scriptures."

"Once the golden hoop is gone, your heart will be filled with hostility, and it will come back and forth."

"The gibbon monkey seems to be helping you, but it is actually hurting you."

"Wukong, the Tathagata Buddha has re-condensed the golden hoop with great mana, are you willing to wear this golden hoop again?"

As he spoke, he saw a golden light appear in the hands of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The golden light faded, and it was that golden hoop.

When Sun Wukong saw the golden hoop, his face was already a bit ugly.

At this time, Tang Seng said from the side: "Bodhisattva, in the past, for the safety of the poor monk, you let the poor monk unintentionally trick Wukong into wearing a golden hoop on his head."

"Now, since the arm-armed ape benefactor has already removed the golden hoop from Wukong's head, why does the Bodhisattva send another pair of golden hoops?"

"The poor monk believes in Wukong, even if he doesn't have the golden hoop, he will follow the poor monk to Daleiyin Temple."

"Bodhisattva, please take back this golden hoop."

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva looked at Tang Seng and said, "Sanzang, I know that you have great kindness in your heart, but you think you are doing it for the good of Wukong, but it is not the case."

"With Wukong's current strength, even I may not be able to defeat him, and Tathagata will no longer be able to suppress him under Five Fingers Mountain."

"Wukong's hostility is still in his heart. Once there is a catastrophe in the future, I am afraid that the Three Realms will burn all lives."

"Sanzang, if you really want Wukong's good, you should persuade Wukong to put this golden hoop back on his own initiative."

"When you master and apprentice obtain the scriptures, the golden hoop will naturally disappear on Wukong's head."

Hearing the words, Tang Sanzang showed hesitation on his face.

He heard Guanyin Bodhisattva said that if Sun Wukong didn't wear this golden hoop, it might lead to the destruction of the three worlds in the future.

This made Tang Seng hesitate a little.

Tang Seng sighed slightly, looked at Monkey King, and said, "Wukong, you decide for yourself."

"Whether you wear it or not, you are the apprentice of the master."

Sun Wukong looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva and said, "Bodhisattva, do you have to wear it?"

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva nodded slightly and said, "I must wear it."

Sun Wukong took a deep breath, feeling very ridiculous in his heart.

At this time, Zhu Bajie whispered from the side: "Brother Monkey, why don't you wear it, I think if you don't wear it, the Bodhisattva will be angry."

Sun Wukong heard the words, but stood up abruptly. He looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva and said, "Bodhisattva, in the past, I didn't have a choice."

"I was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, and I wanted to be free."

"Compared to being crushed by the Five Elements Mountain, this little magic spell is really nothing."

"However, since the magic spell is gone, my grandson will not take the initiative to wear it again."

"That's right, I'm angry."

"However, I am willing to follow Master's teachings, listen to Master's teachings, and I am willing to listen to Master's chanting to wash away the hostility in my heart."

"I will send him to Daleiyin Temple, and I will help him get the scriptures."

"I, Monkey King, speak with every spittle and nail, and I will not break my promise."

"Bodhisattva, my grandson respects you as a Bodhisattva of great compassion, but you can't force my grandson to do what he doesn't want to do."

"If the Bodhisattva insists on letting my grandson wear this golden hoop, then my grandson has no choice but to go to the Tathagata to discuss this truth with the Tathagata."

Tang Monk heard the words and immediately shouted: "Wukong, don't be rude to the Bodhisattva."

When Guanyin Bodhisattva heard the words, he frowned slightly, and said, "Wukong, I just put on a golden hoop, just in case."

"Since you were able to wear it before, why can't you wear it today?"

"Wukong, don't be willful, put on the golden hoop."

Sun Wukong heard the words, shook his head slowly, and said: "Bodhisattva, I have said that in the past, I had no choice."

"However, right now I'm not necessarily without options."

"If I wear this golden hoop today, I will never be able to take it off again."

"Bodhisattva, don't force me."

After hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed and said, "Wukong, what is the difference between you now and Black Bear Spirit and Golden Pond?"

"Wukong, to the Buddha and to the good, you have to be able to take it and let it go."

"For the stability of the Three Realms and for the sake of all beings in the Three Realms, if you wear this golden hoop, you will have immeasurable merit."

Sun Wukong said: "Why does the Bodhisattva think that I will definitely disturb the stability of the Three Realms? Disaster for all beings in the Three Realms?"

"Could it be that in the eyes of the Bodhisattva, my grandson is a heinous devil?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva shook his head and said, "Wukong, in my eyes, you are not a devil, but just a whimsical mind. Many things are beyond your control."

"You also understand that the hostility in your heart has not disappeared. Once your hostility controls you, it is destined to add a lot of murder."

"Wukong, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately. You don't even want to wear a golden hoop. How can I believe that you have a full heart for Buddha?"

Sun Wukong heard the words and said: "Bodhisattva, please forgive me for not agreeing."

Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned and said, "Wukong, if you refuse to listen to persuasion, then I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in the sutra collection team anymore."

Monkey King said: "Bodhisattva, what do you mean?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "Back then, when I passed the Five Elements Mountain, it was you who begged me to show you a way out."

"So, I asked you to protect the Buddhist scriptures to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures."

"Now, the scriptures have not yet been obtained, but you are not willing to do this or that."

"Since this is the case, then you can no longer protect Sanzang and go to the west."

"Because, in the future, Tang Sanzang will most likely die under your golden cudgel."

"For Tang Sanzang's safety, I can only ask you to leave."

Sun Wukong heard the words and immediately said: "Impossible!"

"How could I kill Master!"

"How could Master die under my golden cudgel?"

But Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "Nothing is impossible. How could you ever think that one day a gibbon will remove the golden hoop from your head?"

"How did you ever think that one day your strength would skyrocket again?"

"Wukong, put it down, put on the golden hoop, and everything will be back to normal."

"The Avalokitesvara Temple is in a catastrophe, and I can also help you master and disciple to dispel it."

"Your path of learning scriptures has already gone more than half. You are destined to become Buddhas and Bodhisattvas."

"Wukong, do you still have any attachments?"

Sun Wukong heard the words, his face was struggling, he shook his head and said: "Bodhisattva, I'm sorry, my heart is very confused."

"I don't understand why I must wear a gold hoop."

"why!"

"Since I don't wear the golden hoop, the Bodhisattva won't let me protect Master to go to the west to learn scriptures, so I have to leave for a while."

Said, Sun Wukong looked at Tang Seng, said: "Master, I am very upset and messy, I think I have to leave for a while, I want to go to quiet."

Immediately afterwards, Monkey King said to Zhu Bajie: "Bajie, you must take good care of Master during my absence."

After the voice fell, Monkey King's figure disappeared directly into the meditation room.

"Goku!"

Seeing Monkey King disappearing, Tang Seng shouted hastily, but Monkey King had already left.

"Senior brother, it's true. Isn't it just wearing a golden hoop? There's nothing to worry about."

Zhu Bajie complained from the side.

At this time, Tang Seng said to Guanyin Bodhisattva: "Bodhisattva, please don't blame Wukong, he just couldn't figure it out for a while."

When Guanyin Bodhisattva heard the words, he just smiled and said: "To untie the bell, the person who tied it must be needed. It is reasonable for Wukong to have such a calamity."

"I'm confident he will make the right choice."

……

In Qingyun Dojo.

A large group of monsters gathered together, shaking their heads and reading the Tao Te Ching aloud.

"The Tao can be said, very Tao; the name can be famous, very famous."

"Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, famous, the mother of all things."

"..."

The monsters may not understand the meaning of these words, but it does not affect their reading aloud.

A clone of Lu Fengqiu sat on a futon not far away, holding a volume of books, like an old man teaching, with a serene expression.

Under Lu Fengqiu's transformation, Qingyun Dojo has become a place surrounded by immortal energy.

The demonic aura of the entire Ten Thousand Monsters Country is also gradually disappearing.

In the world, there is no such thing as a fairy spirit or a fairy spirit.

Both demon energy and fairy energy are spirit energy.

As long as you follow the Tao in your heart, the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons can also become the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Immortals.

This is Lu Fengqiu's ultimate goal.

The day when he completely transforms the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom into the Ten Thousand Immortal Kingdom will be the day when he will leave.

At this time, in the Ten Thousand Demon Queen's cave beside Qingyun Mountain.

The Wan Yao Queen is learning how to play chess with Lu Fengqiu.

The two were talking while playing chess.

The Wan Yao Queen said: "General, in the past few months, all the monsters in Wan Yao's country have been seeking the Tao wholeheartedly."

"The Taoism passed down by the general has greatly improved the strength of Wan Yao Nation."

"It's only been a few months. I really can't imagine what kind of changes will happen to Wan Yao Kingdom in time."

Hearing this, Lu Fengqiu said with a smile: "The demon also seeks to make progress, this is not unexpected."

The Wan Yao Queen looked at Lu Fengqiu with a look of admiration, and said, "General, you teach the disciples in the dojo to read and write, and read the Dao Cang thoroughly. Do you want to turn the Wan Yao Kingdom into a civilized demon country?"

Lu Fengqiu smiled and said: "The immortals and Buddhas in Tianting and Lingshan always feel that the demon nature is hard to get rid of, but they forget that there are actually a lot of demons in Tianting and Lingshan, but they have been brought under their command, so they become righteous stern."

"However, if you want to say that those monsters are different from the monsters in the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom, I don't believe it. In fact, there is no difference at all."

"It's just because they are restrained in the heaven and Buddhism."

"Now, what I want to do is to make the demons of Wan Yao Kingdom better and stronger."

"Reading and literacy, reading Dao Cang through, can let them know the truth."

"After reading the book a hundred times, you will see the truth. People have their advantages, and demons have their advantages."

"Why can't we learn from each other's strengths and make up for our weaknesses?"

When the Wan Yao Queen heard the words, she kept nodding her head, thinking it was very reasonable.

At this moment, the Dream Demon came in from outside the cave, bowed and said, "My lord, it's not good, Sun Wukong has come to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters."
