That morning, everyone got up and was busy, while Sun Wukong secretly applied what he had learned to regulate his breathing.
Whether in the morning or in the afternoon, he concentrated on self-cultivation.
Time flies, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye.
The ancestor ascended the throne again and taught the teachings of Buddhism to the disciples.
He talked about the public case and metaphor of Zen Buddhism, and discussed the relationship between external appearance and internal essence.
Suddenly, the ancestor asked, "Where is Wukong?"
Wukong came forward when he heard the sound, knelt down respectfully and replied, "The disciple is here."
The ancestor then asked, "How have you been practicing recently?"
Wukong replied, "Reantly, the disciples have a more thorough understanding of Taoism, and the foundation of practice has become more and more solid."
After hearing this, the ancestor nodded and said, "Since you have understood Taoism, understood the root of practice, and integrated the spirit and body, you also need to guard against the ''three disasters and interests''.“
Hearing this, Wukong lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and then said, "Master''s words seem to be wrong. I often hear that people with high morality and deep practice can live with the same life as heaven, water and fire, and do not cause all diseases. How can there be three disasters?”
The ancestor explained: "This is an extraordinary practice method, which violates the laws of nature and invades the mysteries of heaven and earth. After the elixir is refined, it will be difficult for ghosts and gods to tolerate your existence. Although this method can make you look old and prolong your life, you will face a disaster every five hundred years. The first time is a thunderstorm. It will fall from the sky and hit your body directly. You must be clear-minded, know in advance and avoid. If you can avoid it, you can live with the sky; if you can''t avoid it, you will die on the spot. In another five hundred years, you will encounter a fire. This is not ordinary fire, nor the fire of the world, but ''yin fire''.It burns from your spring hole and burns all the way to the mud palace, turning your internal organs into ashes and your limbs becoming rotten. Your thousand-year-old hard work will turn into a bubble. After another five hundred years, you will usher in a storm. This wind is extraordinary. It is neither the ordinary wind of the southeast and northwest, nor the warm and pleasant wind or the cold and bone-chilling metallic wind, nor the natural wind brought by flowers, willows, pines and bamboos. It is called "wind". This kind of wind will invade the body from the fontanel above the head, pass through the six organs, through the Dantian, to the nine tips, making people''s bones and flesh loose and the body disintegrate by itself. Therefore, everyone must try to avoid it.“
Hearing this, Sun Wukong was so scared that he quickly kowtowed and said, "I hope your ancestors will have mercy and teach me how to avoid the three disasters. I will never forget your kindness."
The ancestor said, "It''s not difficult, but you are different from others, so it''s difficult to teach."
Sun Wukong asked, "I also have a dome head, a square foot, nine limbs and internal organs. Why am I different from people?"
The ancestor replied, "Although you look like a human, you have a pair of cheeks less than a human."
It turned out that Sun Wukong had a lonely face, a concave face and a sharp mouth.
Sun Wukong reached out and touched it, and said with a smile, "Master, you miscalculated! Although I have fewer cheeks, I have one more vegetarian bag than others, which can also be regarded as compensation.”
The ancestor said, "Well, what kind of spell do you want to learn? One is the Tiangang number, which contains thirty-six changes; the other is the earth evil number, which contains seventy-two changes.“
Sun Wukong said, "The disciple hopes to learn more, so let''s learn the seventy-two changes."
The ancestor said, "In this case, come up and I''ll pass on your secret."
Therefore, he whispered in Sun Wukong''s ear, and I don''t know what kind of wonderful spell he said.
Sun Wukong was extremely smart.
As soon as he was clicked, he would be integrated.
He immediately learned the secret, practiced by himself, and finally learned all the seventy-two changes.
One evening, the ancestor and many disciples played in front of Samsung Cave and enjoyed the night view.
The ancestor asked Sun Wukong, "Wukong, have you done your practice?"
Wukong replied, "Thanks to the master''s deep kindness, the disciple has now practiced and can fly in the clouds."
The ancestor said, "Then you fly and show it to me."
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
Wukong showed his skills.
He fought several exercises in a row.
He was about five or six feet above the ground.
He flew on the clouds for about a meal, but the round trip was only about three miles away.
He fell back to his ancestor and bowed and said, "Master, this is how I can fly to the clouds."
The ancestor smiled and said, "This can''t be regarded as climbing clouds, but only climbing clouds.
Since ancient times, it has been said that ''the immortals travel to the North Sea at dusk.'' You can''t fly three miles in half a day, and you can''t even climb the clouds!"
Wukong asked, "Then what is ''Morning tour of the North Sea and the twilight of Cangwu''?"
The ancestor explained, "All those who are Tengyun set out from the North Sea in the morning, swim through the East China Sea, the West Sea and the South China Sea, and then return to Cangwu. The Cangwu here is actually another way of Beihai Lingling. Being able to travel all over the world in one day is the real Tengyun.”
Wukong said, "This is too difficult! It''s too difficult!"
The ancestor said, "There are no difficult things in the world, only those who are determined to do it."
When Wukong heard this, he kowtowed and asked, "Master, there must be a beginning and an end to do things. You should be very merciful.
Simply teach me this method of Tengyun. I will never forget your kindness."
The ancestor said, "Other immortals fly up with their feet, but you are not like that.I just saw that you jumped up after fighting continuously. Then I will teach you a ''muscle fighting cloud'' according to your characteristics.“
Wukong kowtowed and begged again, and the ancestor then taught him another trick: "Reciting this trick, twisting the trick, clenching your fists, shaking your body, you can jump up, and you can fly 100,000 miles with a fight!" Hearing this, the other disciples all laughed and joked about Wukong: "Wukong is really lucky! If you learn this spell, you can be a messenger to deliver documents and messages to people, and you can find food no matter how far away you are!" The masters and apprentices did not go back to the cave to rest until it was dark.
On this night, Wukong learned to practice the magic of luck and fight with clouds.
Since then, he has been free and unrestrained every day, enjoying a beautiful life of immortality.
One day, spring had just passed and summer came quietly.
People had gathered in the shade of pine trees to talk for a long time.
Everyone asked, "Wukong, what kind of fate did you cultivate in your previous life? A few days ago, Master quietly told you that you have learned the seventy-two methods of change taught to you to avoid the three disasters? Wukong replied with a smile, "To tell you the truth, on the one hand, it is because of the master''s teaching, and on the other hand, it is also because of my hard work and night practice, and I have mastered those spells."
After listening, everyone said, "Take advantage of such a good time now, you can try to demonstrate it, so that we can also open our eyes."
Hearing this, Wukong immediately cheered up and wanted to show his skills.
He said, "Brothers, please give me a topic. What do you want me to change into?"
Everyone thought for a moment and said, "Let''s turn into a pine tree."
Wukong immediately pinched the spell and shook his body and turned into a pine tree.
This pine tree is really lush and evergreen in all seasons, towering into the clouds and beautiful.
There is no shadow of a demon monkey at all, all of which are tough branches that have experienced wind, frost, rain and snow.
When everyone saw it, they applauded and laughed, and praised repeatedly: "Good monkey! Good monkey!" Their noise became louder and louder, which actually alarmed the ancestor.
The ancestor hurried out of the door with a crutch and asked, "Who is making a loud noise here?" When everyone heard the ancestor''s voice, they hurriedly sorted out their clothes and came forward respectfully.
Wukong also returned to his original form and said in the crowd, "Master Qi, we are talking about Taoism here, and there is no noise from outsiders."
The ancestor scolded angrily, "You shout loudly and don''t seem to be practicing at all! Practitioners will be lak when they open their mouths, and will provoke right and wrong when they speak. Why are you laughing and making noise here?"
Everyone quickly explained: "I dare not hide it from my master. Just now, Sun Wukong was demonstrating the change spell and let him become a pine tree, he really turned into a pine tree. We all admired him, so he applauded loudly and accidentally disturbed the master. Please forgive him.”
The ancestor said, "Get up, all of you."
Then he called Wukong and asked, "Let me ask you, what kind of spirit and pine tree are you doing here? How can this kind of spell be sold in front of people? If you see someone else, will you beg him to teach you? When others see that you can, they will definitely beg you. If you are afraid of causing trouble, you should teach him; if you don''t teach him, he will definitely harm you, and your life will be difficult to save at that time.“
Wukong kowtowed and begged for mercy: "I just ask for the master''s forgiveness!" The ancestor said, "I won''t punish you either, but you just leave here."
When Wukong heard this, tears came out of his eyes: "Master, where do you want me to go?" The ancestor said, "Go back wherever you come from.”
Wukong suddenly woke up and said, "I came from Dongsheng Shenzhou Aolai Guohuaguo Landscape Curtain Cave."
The ancestor said, "Go back quickly so that you can save your life. If you stay here, you will never do it!"
Wukong admitted his guilt and said, "I report to my master that I have been away from home for 20 years. Although I really want to go back to see the former monkeys and grandchildren, I don''t dare to leave because I think that my master''s deep kindness has not been rewarded."
The ancestor said, "What kind of kindness is there? As long as you don''t cause trouble and don''t involve me!"
Seeing that there was no other way, Sun Wukong had to say goodbye and say goodbye to everyone.
The ancestor said, "If you leave, you will definitely cause a lot of trouble. No matter how evil you do, you can''t say that you are my apprentice. As long as you reveal half a word, I will immediately know that you, a monkey, will be skinned and broken, and your soul will be demoted to the deepest underworld, so that you will never be able to turn over!Sun Wukong replied, "I absolutely dare not mention half a word about my master. I just said that I learned my own ability."
After expressing his gratitude, Sun Wukong immediately turned around, pinched the spell and recited the spell.
With a shake of his body, he drove up and went straight to the East China Sea.
In less than an hour, the scene of Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave has been seen from afar.
The beautiful monkey king was secretly happy and whispered to himself, When he left, he was still a mortal, and his steps were heavy.
Now he has become an immortal, and his body is as light as the wind.
Many people in the world are unwilling to practice, but they don''t know that once they are determined, the mystery will appear.
At the beginning, it was rough and difficult when crossing the sea, but now it is easy to come back.
The master''s advice seemed to be echoing in my ears.
I didn''t expect to return to the coast of the East China Sea so soon.
Sun Wukong landed in the clouds and came directly to Huaguo Mountain.
