The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 4 0004, he only cultivates his mind but not his mouth
The shoes are broken, the hat is broken, the cassock on the body is broken, you laugh at me, he laughs at me, a fan is broken...

The monk sang along the way, bouncing up and down very happily.He has helped many people over the years, and seeing bad people get retribution and good people getting good rewards is more enjoyable than letting him eat a few good wines.

It's just that he was so happy to patronize just now, he didn't pay attention to the stone under his feet, and fell seven or eight meters away with a somersault.When he got up, there was a huge monkey head in front of him.

The monkey was also taken aback by this guy who appeared suddenly, but after seeing his outfit, the monkey became curious about this man.

He was wearing a tattered cassock and a monk hat that looked like it hadn't been washed for a long time.He held a half-rotten fan in his hand, and a gourd was tied around his waist.At this time, he was looking at the monkey with a smile on his face, showing his big white teeth.

"Oh, benefactor, the poor monk is being polite." The monk bowed solemnly, and did not see the monkey's response for a long time, so he slowly straightened up and looked at the monkey.

The monkey didn't speak because he had seen the past of this crazy monk.

I had a predestined relationship with Buddha since I was a child, and the elders in my family were all good deeds, but unfortunately they were harmed by evil people.The crazy monk originally had a happy marriage, but it was a pity that on the day of his worship, he became enlightened. On the day of great joy, he changed his red clothes into monk clothes, and failed a woman who had admired him for a long time.

The monkey whose strength was suppressed by the Five Elements Mountain can only see other people's past with the remaining strength.Xiaobai only wanted to repay his kindness, and practiced desperately just to transform into a human.Fortunately, she has a good foundation, and her dedication to good will eventually become a positive result.But Xiaoqing is not so lucky, and her straightforward personality will suffer a big loss sooner or later.

Old man Jiang had a bad life in the first half of his life. Although he was a big disciple when he was practicing, he was slower than others in many things.He was the last one to complete everything that the master told him. Fortunately, he had no intention of harming others, otherwise his master would not have entrusted him with such an important mission.

As for the crazy monk in front of him, Monkey couldn't see through it.He failed the woman's painstaking efforts, and made his biological parents suffer from him.Although there were good rewards in the end, it was all because of him.

Feeling uncomfortable being looked at by the monkey, the mad monk smiled and said, "Amitabha, the poor monk's name is Daoji, dare to ask the benefactor's name."

The monkey said: "My surname is Sun, and my legal name is Wukong. The name was given to me by my master. I also have another nickname, which was given to me by my brothers who worshiped me back then. It is called Monkey King."

Daoji looked at the radiant monkey at this time, he was completely different from just now. Although he didn't have the powerful strength of Monkey King, he could still see other people's past.It's just that his magic power is limited, and he can't see what Monkey King did more than 400 years ago.

After chatting with Brother Monkey for a while, Monk Daoji took out some appetizers from his backpack and poured Brother Monkey a glass of wine.This journey has been very hard, he can sleep without rest, but the only thing he can't lack is wine and meat.At that time, he once left a poem engraved in the meditation room, which was later excerpted and passed on to later generations.

The monk left a poem,
I cultivate my mind but not my mouth.

Others meditate their mouths and not cultivate their hearts,
I am the only one who repairs my heart but not my mouth.

It's a bit convoluted to read, and many people don't understand it well.Whenever someone said that he was a monk who actually drank and ate meat, he would reply solemnly that the wine and meat had passed through the heart of the Buddha.

This is the first time in 500 years that the monkey has had a drink with the monk, and it seems that the buddy has a lot of skills.If the monkey is not mistaken, this monk named Daoji was relegated to the lower world for ten lifetimes because he committed a serious crime in the Buddhist world.Judging from Daoji's dharma body at this time, his deity should be a certain Arhat.

Other people's gourds hold water, while Daoji's gourds hold wine.And his gourd is still a treasure, there are always people who want to trick him, but in the end they are all scared by his gourd.

He once went to the winery to drink wine and bet five taels of silver to fill the gourd.The shopkeeper agreed without hesitation, and poured it down jar after jar.No matter how much he poured in, it was only half a pot in the end.So much so that in the end the store begged Daoji for mercy, and then he reformed himself and completely corrected the problem of taking advantage of others.

One person, one monkey, one jug of wine, one plate of peanuts and two chicken legs, the monkey and Daoji drank for more than two hours.After drinking from noon to dusk, Daoji was lucky enough to taste Xiaobai's handicraft.Four dishes, one soup and some barbecue, the game in the mountains can only be eaten by monkeys and Daoji.Both Xiaobai and Xiaoqing are cultivators of Taoism, they never kill or touch alcohol or meat.

In the night, Sister Xiaobai returned to the cave after cleaning up the dishes.Daoji lay sprawled on the stone, tilted his head and glanced at the stars in the sky.He could not remember how many lifetimes he had not seen his brothers.

When he was very young, he lived with a group of brothers.The brothers are very kind to him, no matter they are older or younger than him, they usually give way to him.Many of his problems are born, no matter what others say, he just can't get rid of it.Especially the problem of being outspoken, so he suffered more than he could count.

They are a total of [-] brothers. Every day, they go to class together, work together, do exercises and chant scriptures together.The naughtiest Daoji likes to play pranks, and every brother has been tricked by him.Even if they found out that it was him in the end, no matter how angry they were, they never troubled Daoji.Because their master said that Daoji had a bad fate.

That winter, if Daoji hadn't caused a catastrophe, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to understand what it means to be ill-fated.Reincarnated and reincarnated suffer all kinds of suffering, birth, old age, sickness and death go through all kinds of difficulties.At first he couldn't figure out why the master could hold grudges.It was just adding something else to his meal, as for letting him stay in the mortal world and suffer so much.

But Daoji belongs to the ox, and no one can stop the ox's temper.At first he wanted to go back, but the master and brothers refused.Later, he didn't want to go back, and the master and brothers came to call him home every day.Then he didn't go back, and then the master and brothers came to see him every now and then, doing ideological work for him and persuading him to go home.

A meteor pierced the sky, and Daoji exhaled heavily, saying, "Brother Monkey, how long have you been here?"

The monkey said: "490 eight years."

Daoji was not surprised at all, but said, "Did someone trick you?"

If the monkey could stretch out his hand, he would definitely give Daoji a thumbs up right now.It seems that both of them are hard-working children, and they can understand each other's aggrieved without saying anything.

Daoji glanced at the Buddha seal on the Five Elements Mountain, and asked, "Are you pressed here by the Buddha?"

The monkey nodded and said indignantly, "I made a bet with Tathagata, and he said that I couldn't turn his palm. I didn't accept it, so I tried, and it ended up like this."

Daoji expressed deep sympathy, why didn't he have a similar experience.It was the brothers' idea to let him put something in the master's dish, and it was the brothers who exposed him when something happened.At that time, he didn't understand why his brothers who had always let him cheat him so much.It was only later that he found out that some teachers and brothers had done that.

The monkey said: "Since you are the reincarnation of Arhat, when are you going to go back?"

"Go back? Where are you going?" Daoji asked.

The monkey looked up at the sky, then to the west.Daoji understood what he meant, shook his head and did not speak for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Dao Ji finally broke the silence.

"I'm not going back. There are so many injustices to deal with in the mortal world. I'm needed here more than ever."

He has been reincarnated eight times, and he is doing one thing in each life.Let those who do good deeds and accumulate virtue enjoy blessings, and let those who do evil and evil reap the consequences.Although he also believes that the causal cycle has its own way of heaven, but the way of heaven comes too slowly for him.He wants those people to get retribution in this world, they should be punished immediately if they do wrong things, and they will be rewarded immediately if they do good deeds.

If the road is uneven, someone will shovel it, and if the situation is uneven, someone will take care of it. As long as there is unevenness, he will help.So what about the golden arhat, and what about immortality.If he lived the same life every day, he would rather be wiped out after ten lives.

"What about you? If you leave here, where would you go?" Daoji said to the monkey.

The monkey glanced at the western sky, and the tone in his heart never went away.Although 500 years have passed, he still can't forget the scene of the betting day.I can't forget how those so-called gods teamed up to trick him, a monkey with no intentions.

He has thought a lot over the past 500 years, and he has indeed realized his mistakes.He really shouldn't be proud of his talent and cause so many disasters by relying on his ability.But that can't be all his fault, after all, he didn't provoke many things on his own initiative, but those people didn't take him seriously at all.

It was agreed to be a high-ranking official, but in the end he was asked to feed the horses, and the fairy peaches agreed to be eaten casually, but a group of people beat him up.Isn't it just to bring back some food and drink for the brothers, as for getting [-] heavenly soldiers to block his door.

The more he thought about these things, the angrier he became, but anyway, he was living in a shelter now, so it was inconvenient for him to say some things and he couldn't say them.Daoji is a good person, he is very similar to himself in many ways.

I like to fight against injustices, but I don't like rigid rules.Since the rules are made by people, why can't they vary from person to person.It's not easy for everyone, so why bother to make things difficult for others.

Daoji wants to take care of the injustices in the mortal world, and is determined to use the time of ten lives in exchange for a mortal world where good and evil are rewarded.He never cared about the background of the other party. Those who do evil will be punished for evil, and those who do good will be rewarded for good.This is the biggest truth, everything else is bullshit.

Monkey told Daoji that when he left Marble Mountains, he must take care of the injustices of the Three Realms.Take care of those immortals who specialize in tearing people apart, take care of those Yamas who determine life and death, and take care of those Buddhas who save people from suffering.Take care of the emperors and generals who are in charge of life and death, and even more of the demons and ghosts who are dedicated to goodness and practice hard.

All living beings are equal, everyone has the right to pursue happiness, and of course also has the right to reform.No matter how many big mistakes he has made and how many disasters, as long as he realizes his mistakes and sincerely corrects them, he should give them a chance.

Daoji suddenly asked, "Monkey, what do you think about the Cowherd and Weaver Girl?"

"The Cowherd and Weaver Girl?"

Monkey muttered something in a low voice, and suddenly remembered that he had heard Xiaobai mention these two people.It is said that it was a very happy marriage. The two of them loved each other and got the consent of Zhinu's father.But after they got married, Zhinu's uncle ran out to disrupt the situation.Not only separated the two of them, but also cast a spell that would never see each other.

Zhinu's uncle is the Jade Emperor, who is in charge of the heavens, married Zhinu's aunt, and Zhinu's father is the Emperor of Heaven.After being disassembled, Zhinu, who had been crying all day long, happened to be seen by her aunt who had returned to her natal home.

After she went back, she put the matter back on the agenda.First, it was discussed by the gods, and most of them remained silent.In the end, as an aunt, she made the final decision and made the final decision.

The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are allowed to meet once a year, and the Weaver Girl needs to work hard at other times, and use 364 days of the year in exchange for one day of time with the Cowherd.The Jade Emperor said it was acceptable, and the gods had no objection.

This matter soon spread to the mortal world, and people felt that Zhinu's aunt was too cruel.

"I think Zhinu's aunt did a great job," said the monkey.

Daoji was taken aback when he heard the words, then stood up and solemnly bowed to the monkey.There are thousands of gods in the sky, but he only met one monkey who had the same view as him.Only they can understand Aunt Zhinu's hard work.

The world only knows that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl only see each other once a year, but they don't know that there is a day in the sky and a year in the world.
