Chapter 18 Wukong
"Yes, I am the Fighting and War Buddha, but I like the title of Monkey King more. At that time, I was still a monkey who dared to love and hate without sorrow. Now, I have escaped into a monk, went through eighty-one difficulties, and finally achieved the right result, becoming a monk in your eyes... Haha, that's not bad." When the monkey laughed, he looked back at Liu Xingyan and others with a crying voice, and said loudly: "You are with you all the way, but I still feel that I am the loneliest. I seem out of place in this world and incompatible with this world. This is not my world. I used to have masters, friends, and opponents. Now? I accompany you every day, and wherever I go, I don't know what the meaning of these things I do."
After hearing the monkey's words, Tang Xuansong suddenly felt inexplicably heartache. He didn't know why, but he couldn't help but touch the monkey's furry head and said gently: "The heart is born, all kinds of demons are born; the heart is destroyed, all kinds of demons are destroyed."
After hearing Tang Xuansong's words, the monkey suddenly cried like a lost child who was eager to find his family. He stared at Tang Xuansong's face and shouted: "You are the master, you are the master. Why do you pretend to forget me? Why do you all forget me?"
The monkey shouted at the few people, crazy.
The monk looked at the monkey's crazy appearance and seemed to have suddenly realized something, and said aloud: "We ascetic monks have traveled all over the world to understand life and death, and to understand Buddha nature. Today, when we met the monk, we suddenly realized that Buddha is the mind, there is no Buddha in our heart, everything is there, there is Buddha in our heart, and all thoughts are destroyed. This is the real escape into the monk, right?"
After hearing the monk's words, Xiao Shiyi said with surprise: "You monk actually slandered the Buddha so much, and you are not afraid of offending the Buddha."
But the monkey shook his head and said, "Bodhisattva and fairy always have a thought; if it comes to the original, it belongs to nothing. So what this monk said is right, you are right."
"The Zen heart shines brightly on the moon in the rivers, and the true nature is clear and the sky is vast. In this world, there are only two people who are sincerely convinced by me, both of them, and they are my masters. Apart from them, even Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, I am just paying respects."
Seeing the monkey telling this, the monk asked curiously: "The two honorable teachers of the monk must also be extraordinary masters?"
When the master was mentioned, the monkey looked solemn, as if the respectful master was right in front of him, and said respectfully: "My two masters, one Subhuti and one Xuanzang, one passed on my Taoist Dharma, and the other passed on my Buddha's heart."
As Sun Wukong expected, no one knew the names of Patriarch Subhuti and Xuanzang.
Later, the monk did not ask too much, and talked to the monkey for a few words and left the temple.
At night, Xiao Shiyi slept alone in a Zen room. Liu Xingyan and Ye Liusha became drinkers. The two of them drank drunk almost every day.
Tang Xuansong sat cross-legged in the hall, staring at the woman on the mural, as if she had lost her soul.
The monkey stood alone outside the temple, under the night sky, in the wilderness, and the cold wind penetrated the bones.
The moon splashes on the galaxy, the long road is long, the wind and smoke are gone, and the shadow is gone.
Wukong is recalling the past again, searching hard for traces of the past here.
"Hongmeng first made the original surname without a single name, and broke the stubborn and Ming Xu Wukong."
Suddenly, a voice rang in his ear, causing the monkey to look around and exclaimed: "Who is talking?"
"I am you, destroyed from chaos, born from chaos. You are the only spiritual monkey born from heaven and earth, and the only spiritual person who transcends the six realms of reincarnation and overtakes the gods. Now the six realms are collapsed, the cycle of reincarnation is reversed, and the time and space are in chaos. You are the only existence that is not wiped out by the laws of the rules of heaven and earth. The people and things you want to look for have long disappeared, but now there are still traces left by them in the world. Perhaps these traces left by the former gods and demons will help you solve the mystery of the collapse of the six realms."
The monkey found that the sound echoing in his ears was exactly the same as the sound of his own speaking, as if it was himself, which made him confused, but full of hope.
"I don't know who you are. Can you tell me why Tang Xuansong, Liu Xingyan and Ye Liusha are so similar to the masters and the others?" Regarding this question, the monkey finally found someone who could ask and asked decisively.
However, after waiting for a long time, he didn't reply. The monkey asked, but there was no reply.
"What happened between heaven and earth during my sleeping period?" The monkey looked up at the starry sky, and no one could answer his question. The answer could only wait for him to explore step by step and reveal the truth one by one.
At the beginning of Hongmeng, he had no surname and wanted to break the stubbornness and Wukong.
The monkey now knows nothing, only knows that he is the only survivor, and the gods and demons that once disappeared, and only he still exists.
In the hall, Tang Xuansong was as if possessed by a demon, and was still sitting cross-legged until late at night, staring at the woman on the mural.
"Is it an illusion or a real experience? Is this painting another world?" Tang Xuansong asked in his heart, thinking hard and puzzled.
In the next room, Liu Xingyan and Ye Liusha's snoring became louder and louder, which made Tang Xuansong unable to concentrate on thinking about the problem, which made him frown and complained: "I am drunk every night, and I am drunk every day. Is it useful for you to escape reality like this?"
Responding to him was still the louder and louder snoring.
Tang Xuansong shook his head helplessly, continued to stare at the woman on the mural, and muttered: "How confused do you think I am? I have a skin-loving relationship with you, but I don't even know your name. I am really not a man. How should I be responsible for you?"
"Are you sick? You said it was an illusion. What responsibility are you for a woman in the painting?" At this time, the monkey returned to the hall and said to Tang Xuansong.
Tang Xuansong looked back at the monkey and asked back, "Since you said that everything on the mural is illusory, why was there a girl painted on it before, but now the girl has changed her dress and mature like a woman?"
The monkey said, "Let me explain it to you, because you are a human and she is a demon, so you and her do not belong to the same world. Everything before was like a dream, you forget it, and she won't blame you."
"So, everything that happened before is not illusory, so as a man, I should be more responsible to others, otherwise I will not become a unfaithful man who will abandon him all the time?" Tang Xuansong stood up and said seriously.
