Volume 1: Journey to the West Chapter 2: Little Demon Flying in the Sky, Boar Climbing a Tree
Hungry rice tofu, in the previous life, I was used to running on two legs. Even if I turned into a pig, I couldn't change this habit. Fortunately, there was a forest outside the village. The villagers only made a fuss for a while because of the nosy second sister on the mountain. Then they retreated.
Zhu Ganglie was panting and lying under the tree, unable to move. The piglet was in good health. It could run very fast at only one month old, but it couldn't run smoothly on two legs. After resting, Lao Zhu thought about what to do in the future.
"The monkey is still suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain. There are land gods and five Jie Di guarding beside him. We can't go to him. Monk Sha was originally the general who served the imperial carriage of Lingxiao Palace. He is from the same family as Zhu Bajie. I guess he has been demoted to the Quick Sand River. He is usually a demon. It is better to go to him. There is a future."
Although Lao Zhu had a good idea, the Quick Sand River was not far away. It was exactly a thousand miles away. It was unknown when a piglet of a few months old could reach it. Old Zhu was worried, but suddenly he looked up and saw the nine-toothed nail palladium floating in the air, and he was overjoyed.
This nine-toothed nail palladium is Zhu Bajie's famous weapon. It is said that this is forged with divine ice iron, and it is polished to a bright and bright finish. Laojun himself moved the hammer, and Yinghuo personally added charcoal chips. The five emperors of the five directions used their minds, and the six Dings and six Jias took a lot of trouble. The nine-toothed jade fangs were created, and the double-ringed gold pendant leaves were cast. The body is decorated with six stars and five stars, and the body is based on the four seasons and eight festivals. The length and shortness determine the universe, and the left and right yin and yang divide the sun and the moon. The six-line gods follow the rules of heaven, and the eight trigrams follow the stars.
The full name of the nine-toothed nail palladium is Shangbaoqinjinpalladium. It is a magic weapon forged by Taishang Laojun. Although it is not as good as the Ruyi Jingu Bang, it is also extremely powerful. At least it has never been broken by anyone in the 81 difficulties of "Journey to the West".
The reason why Shangbaoqinjinpalladium followed Zhu Ganglie was probably because there was still a Marshal Tianpeng Yuanshen in Zhu Ganglie's body, so he recognized him as his master and never left him.
The book said that Shangbaoqinjinpalladium could change and tumble at will, so Zhu Ganglie immediately had a bad idea and thought to himself: "Baby, lower!" Shangbaoqinjinpalladium really flew lower.
Zhu Ganglie was overjoyed: "Lower, lower!" The Shangbaoqinjinpalladium flew in front of the little pig demon, emitting rays of light. Zhu Ganglie hurriedly used all his strength to climb onto the nail palladium. The palladium was a bare iron rod, and it slipped down again without paying attention. Zhu Ganglie had to let the palladium stand up, and the pig sat on the nine-tooth nail, holding the iron rod tightly with his limbs, and then his mind turned freely, and Shangbaoqinjinpalladium flew up and flew all the way to the west.
"Fly faster, faster!" The flying pig in the sky was very proud, controlling the speed and direction of the nine-tooth nail palladium while watching the scenery below.
This is the territory of U-Tsang. It is not a big place, and there are no poor mountains or bad water. The only fairy is still flying around on a palladium. The nine-toothed nail palladium is not fast, and it has not flown out of U-Tsang by night. Lao Zhu was so hungry that he had to land and ran to the farmland to eat some grains. Then he rode the palladium to a tree and took a nap, causing the jackals below to drool all night.
At noon the next day, Lao Zhu finally flew out of U-Tsang smoothly. When he looked up, he saw a high mountain in the way. It was tall and majestic, with green pines and cypresses, green willows and red peaches. There were rare and exotic animals all over the mountain, all gentle and harmonious. There was a surging green water under the stream and auspicious clouds in front of the cliff. It was really a paradise on earth.
This is Futu Mountain. When Zhu was alive, he loved Journey to the West and Conferred the Gods. He knew them very well. He knew that there was a cypress tree in the mountain, and there was a bird's nest in front of the tree. In the bird's nest lived a great man called Master Wuchao. When Tang Monk passed by this place, Master Wuchao taught the 270-word "Heart Sutra of the Mahayana Prajnaparamita" and ridiculed the monkey for being too suspicious, which annoyed Wukong. He raised his iron rod and smashed it, but he couldn't touch the Wuchao at all. Only then did he know that the Zen master's magic power was unfathomable.
Zhu Ganglie once studied Journey to the West. From the perspective of Dan Dao, the east is the sun and the sun is Li, and the west is the moon and the moon is Kan. There is a crow in the sun, named "Golden Crow", so "crow" is used to symbolize the sun; there is a rabbit in the moon, named "Jade Rabbit", and "rabbit" is used to symbolize the moon. The so-called "Wusi Zang" is "Rabbit is present", which means the place where the sun hides and the moon rises. "Wuchao" is also the place where "Golden Crow" rests and returns to its nest, so there is a golden elixir treasure, which is the "Duo Xinjing".
Therefore, this Wuchao Zen Master is most likely the Vairocana Buddha, and combined with the legend of the Conferred Gods, the only person who meets the identity of Vairocana Buddha is the three-legged golden crow Lu Ya. This Lu Ya first practiced Taoism and then Buddhism, combined the two Mahayana, incarnated Vairocana Buddha, established the doctrine of the Esoteric Buddhism, and lived in Wuchao, meditating and enlightening, and was a quasi-leader-level figure.
Lao Zhu rode a palladium along the mountain path to the mountain. After an unknown period of time, he finally saw a cypress tree. The tree did not look tall. Lao Zhu rode a palladium to fly up, but he didn't know that the higher he flew, the taller the tree would grow. The higher he flew, the higher Lao Zhu was always under the tree branch and could not see the top of the tree.
"Sows can climb trees, but boars can't. This crow is really powerful. I can't mess with it."
Old Zhu flew down, and the little pig's hooves ran around, and finally found the crow's nest. The Tathagata built his nest under the tree, imitating the enlightenment of Sakyamuni under the Bodhi tree. The little pig lost the palladium and was extremely happy. He hurried to this inconspicuous firewood nest, and felt a strong fragrance coming towards him, and his spirit was immediately refreshed.
But the firewood nest was empty, with only a gourd and a scroll of scriptures, but the Zen Master Wuchao was nowhere to be seen.
"What a fate!" The little boar stared at the gourd and drooled. He hesitated for a long time and never dared to take the gourd away.
This gourd is the famous Immortal Slaying Flying Knife in the three realms. There is a ray of light inside the gourd, which is more than three feet high. On top of it, there appears an object, which is seven inches long, with eyebrows and eyes. There are two white lights in the eyes, which cover it back. Even if Taiyi Jinxian is nailed to the Niwan Palace by this magic weapon, his soul will be scattered.
Although Lao Zhu wanted to steal the gourd very much, such a powerful treasure must have been refined by Lu Ya long ago, and it was all in his mind to receive and send it. If he took the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife, Lu Ya only needed to chant a spell and say "Please turn around, treasure", and he would be completely finished.
The Immortal Slaying Flying Knife could not be taken, but this scroll of scriptures was not a magic weapon. The piglet groaned, held the scriptures in his mouth and hung them on the nail teeth, then ran back and turned the Wuchao upside down, but did not find any treasure. Smelling the fragrant aroma of the firewood nest and the golden glitter of each firewood, Lao Zhu remembered that this firewood was also a rare treasure, and even Monkey King's Ruyi Jingu Bang could not break it. He quickly took a bite, jumped onto the Nine-toothed Nailed Pad in a panic, and flew away.
The Great Sun Tathagata Buddha was the ancient three-legged golden crow Lu Ya Taoist. After the battle of the Conferred God, other sects either gathered talents or gained power, but he was a lonely man and did not get a fart. Feeling that the path to becoming a saint was endless and it was difficult for his Taoist cultivation to make any progress, he simply joined the Buddhist sect, intending to find the road to the mixed original fruit from the Buddhist Dharma, so he was named the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha. .
That day, Lu Ya heard that the Tathagata Buddha was invited by the Heavenly Court to subdue the demon monkey, so he went to the Western Lingshan to inquire. Lingshan is also a fairyland. One day in the mountain is one year on earth. After arriving at Lingshan, I didn't realize that several days had passed. I discussed Buddhism with the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, talked about scriptures and Taoism, and fooled around with some conspiracies and tricks. When I returned to Futu Mountain, three years had passed.
When Lu Ya saw that his "Dapin Lihuo Tianxian Jue" was missing, he couldn't help but feel angry. Then he saw that Wuchao had been turned upside down, and hundreds of the three thousand cypress gold threads he had practiced with great difficulty were missing, which made him even more furious. These cypress gold threads were the key to his enlightenment. He had been refining them for two thousand years. How could he not be angry? Lu Ya waved his hand to summon the mountain god to ask about it. He learned that a pig demon had come. The land god described the pig demon like this.
"Hateful! You stole my alchemy book and my treasure. I can't let you escape!" Lu Ya Daojun calculated the origin of the pig demon with his fingers, but he felt that the secrets were obscure and he couldn't see clearly. He was shocked.
This situation often occurs when the opponent's magic power is higher than yours, or someone helps him to reverse the yin and yang and the five elements and obscure the secrets of heaven. Lu Ya naturally did not believe that the little pig demon's magic power could be higher than his own. He just thought that someone was secretly helping the pig demon and looking for bad luck for him. He never thought that the pig demon was not a creature of this world at all.
"Could it be that the saints in the East do not want me to prove the way of Hunyuan?" Lu Ya could not help but be cautious. He concentrated on calculating again. This time it was unexpectedly smooth. He calculated that the pig demon was the reincarnation of the Marshal of Tianpeng in Tongtian River. He named himself Zhu Ganglie, but he could not calculate his whereabouts. He couldn't help but sneer and said, "Even if there is a saint to help you obscure the secrets of heaven, I can take your life!"
At that time, a camp was set up, and a straw man was tied up. The three words Zhu Ganglie were written on it, with a lamp on his head and a lamp under his feet. He walked in the Gangdou, wrote talismans, made seals and burned them, and worshiped three times a day. This nail head seven arrows book could even kill Zhao Gongming, let alone a small Marshal of Tianpeng?
Zhao Gongming was a Taoist who gained Taoism during the time of the Great Emperor of the Primordial World. He had practiced Taoism for thousands of years and was far superior to Marshal Tianpeng. Naturally, he was easily killed by Lu Ya. However, the Taoist did not expect that this would benefit another pig demon.
