Journey to the West: Beginning with the Apprenticeship of Bodhi Patriarch

Chapter 43: Mu Mu returns to the right path, the ancestor returns home

There was a fierce fight at the foot of the mountain. Jiang Tong'er knew that it was difficult to defeat the thief monster. If he fought with a gamble, the outcome would not be clear until the sun set. It was still unclear whether he could win. If he won, it would be good. If he lost, he would lose his life.

He saw that the red tasseled spear in the thief's hand was no ordinary weapon, so he came up with a plan.

He asked his monkey mind Jin Gong to come for help, and with a flick of his sleeves, two black and white fish appeared.

The thief was unaware of Mr. Jin's abilities, so he attacked Eryu as soon as he saw him coming, holding his red tasseled spear in his hand, showing his extraordinary martial arts skills.

Black fish are vicious and are good at showing off their power and fighting fiercely. If you fight with them, the white fish will spit out a black bead, which will spin and exhale turbid air. If the turbid air sticks to it, it will definitely fail.

The thief was showing off his spirit and attacking the black fish, but suddenly his red tasseled spear became limp and had no effect. He was frightened and dropped his spear, trying to escape.

Jiang Yuan took out the evil wind bead and exhaled into it. Evil wind blew out of the bead, knocking the thief monster down, making it unable to get up. He took out the Yu Ding and hit the thief monster on the top of his head with it.

The evil monster was hit by Yu Ding and died. It then revealed its true form, which was a sturdy black bear.

Jiang Yuan hid the black and white fish, took a closer look, and was relieved to see that the thief and monster had surrendered. He took out the red tassel spear, got rid of the turbid air, stepped on the clouds and returned to the fairy cave.

……

Not long after, Jiang Tong'er returned to Sanxing Immortal Cave. Zhen Jian stopped him and looked around. He said, "Brother, are you okay?"

Jiang Yuan threw the red tassel spear aside. He didn't know how to use the spear. He replied, "What's the matter? This monster has some skills. Now I have subdued it. Don't worry, brother."

Zhen Jian was dumbfounded and said, "Brother, in the past, we talked about cultivating the golden elixir path. This is the highest true path."

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "You are right. How can lust hurt the body and make cultivation useless?"

Say it.

He said goodbye to Zhenjian and walked towards the quiet room.

Zhenjian saw Wang Jiangyuan leave, and was silent for a while. Then he bowed and went to find a quiet room.

In the quiet room, Jiang Tong'er just came back, and felt deeply the harm of "desire" to cultivation. In the past, he still had some left-handed cultivation, but now he saw that it was all harmed by wine and sex, and his body was empty. He had not practiced cultivation, and he was even weaker.

Mu Mu, Mu Mu!
Among the five, there is absolutely no one who has a reputation for nothing.

If he is not allowed to subdue the Wood Mother, even if he achieves alchemy, she will hurt him sooner or later. This time, the boy has seen the power of the Wood Mother in his true form and dares not be careless.

Jiang Yuan thought to himself, "Mu Mu should be taken seriously. I should practice meditation and teach Mu Mu to return to the right path. Among these five people, whoever is missing cannot achieve the Dao of Dan. Master will not lie to me. The monkey in the heart is good at fighting, which is the advantage of protecting the law. The golden man has power and promotes potential energy. The will horse has the power of feet and is convenient for flying. Mu Mu has eight desires, keeps the precepts and calms the mind. Huang Po is in harmony. Only then can the five people be united!"

When children get their first glimpse of the true path, they realize how broad and profound it is.

He didn't think any more about it. He sat cross-legged on the cushion, meditating quietly, and protecting Mu Mother as she completed the circulation of the Qi.

……

Time passed quickly, and the boy practiced Mu Mu for another sixteen years. He was so quiet in meditation that he was completely unaware of the eight solar terms and four seasons.

During this day, Jiang Yuan was about to complete the Mu Mu project. Mu Mu would eventually travel to 364 caves. The two gods tried to stop her in vain. She only missed one level and Mu Mu returned to the right path.

When the mind was in a state of concentration, Wood Mother reappeared. This time, her expression showed less desire and more dullness. There were nine hidden commandments on her head. It was indeed that she was about to return to her place. The eight desires were not fulfilled, and Wood Mother's face took on the appearance of a human.

Jiang Yuan said, "We are about to return to our place. According to the number of days in a circumference, there are 365. Now we are on the 364th. Mother Mu, I will protect you as you walk this path."

Mu Mu bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, thank you for your help!"

Jiang Yuan and Jin Gong are like a monkey in the heart, and they are walking on this road together. This road is muddy and difficult to walk on. Walking on the road is like walking in a quagmire. You need to start and walk lightly. If you walk too heavily, you will sink deeper and it will be even more difficult to walk.

The boy taught his mind to lead the way and walked towards the acupoint. The two gods did not dare to stop him along the way, for they were afraid that the boy would recite Taoist spells and then call on the mind monkey to beat him.

After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at the 365th acupoint. Jiang Tong'er led the four people to come here. Mu Mu walked to this place with a clear look on her face. She saw the Nine Commandments on her head, and the Eight Desires were no longer seen. It was indeed a return to the right path.

Mu Mu bowed and said, "I understand, I understand!"

As the saying goes, "One day you will be enlightened." Today, the Wood Mother wants to leave and see the clear and bright day.

Jiang Yuan stroked Mu Mu gently and said, "Mu Mu has achieved a positive result today. She has gained enlightenment at the Zhou Tian acupoint. She should keep the abstinence and eliminate desires, protect her primordial spirit, and not let her primordial spirit be bullied by the two gods. Let's practice the alchemy together and get a glimpse of the wonders of longevity!"

Mu Mu bowed again: "As ordered!"

Jiang Yuan was happy and not confused, for it was indeed the Wood Mother who had returned to the right path. She made him calm and not angry. The five people became four, and now all five were complete, with only Huang Po left.

His teaching will be accomplished.

The boy was just thinking when suddenly a voice was heard.

"Tong'er, come here."

This is the voice of the ancestor, and the ancestor has returned.

When Jiang Yuan heard this, he felt that his mind was clear and the mountain was brand new. He thought to himself, "This must be the great power of Master! Since Master left the mountain, the number of evil spirits in the mountain has increased day by day. Now that Master has returned, the mountain has been completely renewed. I'm afraid no evil spirits dare to enter the mountain anymore. They only bully the weak and fear the strong."

He stood up and went outside, only to see that the door to the master's meditation room was wide open. Looking inside, he saw the master sitting cross-legged on a cushion.

Jiang Yuan walked forward and bowed, then he said, "Master, why didn't you tell me that you are back? I should welcome you."

The master smiled and was about to say something when he saw that the boy was indeed magical. He took a closer look and said in surprise, "Boy, has the Wood Mother returned to her place?"

Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "What a coincidence, I am teaching Mu Mu to return to the right path and protect the Yuan Shen today!"

The master was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself, "When I was invited by Avalokitesvara to attend the Dharma Assembly, I had not yet found Mu Mu. Now I have brought Mu Mu back to the right path! After the struggle between the will and the horse, the five of us must be complete. I didn't expect it to be so fast. The elixir should be completed. The elixir is completed!"

In the past, he felt that it was difficult for the boy to follow the right path, because it was difficult for people in Jambudvīpa to follow the right path, so he wanted to teach me the side door and the true fruit. He did not expect that the boy had a strong personality and only wanted to practice the right path. Now that he is about to succeed, he will have an extraordinary life.

The master was delighted and said, "Good boy, good boy!"

Jiang Yuan bowed and said, "I have yet to invite Huang Po, but the five of us will be here soon!"

The master smiled and said, "If you bring five people with you, I will teach you the secrets of Taoism and help you make an elixir!"

Jiang Yuan thanked him and asked the master about his performance in the Dharma Assembly.

The master shook his head and said, "The Dharma of the Western Saint Tathagata is still good now, but it will not be good in the future. Sooner or later, one day, the Dharma will be extinguished. I listened to it hastily and came back after the meeting. It is of no use to me. If you can attain enlightenment in the future, it may be of some use to you, boy."

Jiang Yuan heard this and asked, "Master, how did you attain enlightenment?"

The ancestor smiled and said, "A hundred feet enters the Tao, and the elixir becomes the Tao."

Jiang Yuan leaned forward and asked, "Master, if the elixir is completed, how do we go up?"

The master took out a ruler from somewhere, and with a thud, he stood up from his cushion, pretending to hit me, and said, "You are aiming too high! You are aiming too high! You will only talk about it after you refine the elixir!"

Jiang Yuan dodged repeatedly. Having served the master for many years, he knew that the master was not angry, so he stepped back with a smile.

The master asked again, "Boy, is that red tasseled spear beside the gate yours? That spear is powerless, powerless! You should also make a weapon. If the elixir is ready and it is inconvenient to use the Yu Ding, what weapon do you want?"
