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

Chapter 85 After the Twelve Generations, Jiang Yuan Opened a Cave Mansion (asking for monthly tickets)

It is hard to describe how time flies like an arrow, and before you know it, three years have passed. Disciples of the Sanxing Immortal Cave come and go. Most of them practice the side doors and righteous ways, claiming to have attained the true way. They show off their spirits every day, but never act for their bodies and lives, allowing the Wood Mother to disturb their minds.

The Three Stars Immortal Cave is for disciples who practice body and life cultivation, and the other three are dismissed.

Therefore, there are three people: Jiang Yuan, Zhen Jian and Wu Kong.

One day, Jiang Yuan was practicing "The Universe in the Sleeve" and making very slow progress. He was invited by Zhenjian to participate in a lecture, where he was told that there were many unfamiliar faces among the disciples in the Immortal Cave, so he decided to participate and meet the disciples.

It was the beginning of winter at that time, and everyone was having a lecture under the old cypress tree in the mansion. They sat down in order. Everyone asked Jiang Yuan to give a lecture, but Jiang Yuan declined. Everyone then took turns to talk about their own skills, with a lot of intention of showing off.

Wukong dressed in a serious manner, sat down beside Jiang Yuan, and asked, "Brother, your teachings are so profound, why don't you talk about them?"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "What kind of teachings do I have to preach? My teachings are shallow. They are good for answering questions, but not for preaching."

Wukong scratched his head and said, "Brother, your Tao is still shallow. Who else has a deeper Tao? Even the other brothers can tell. Big Brother, you must be very powerful in preaching Tao."

Jiang Yuan looked at the crowd and said, there are 360 ​​side doors in the Dao door, and everyone is involved. He shook his head and said, "If I were asked to talk about the Dao when I first started practicing, I would definitely be able to talk about it in a fancy way, but now I can't."

Wukong was confused and asked, "Big Brother, why?"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Because it's Ming."

Wukong was at a loss, but he didn't understand what the senior brother was talking about.

Jiang Yuan said: "Wukong, in the future, if you can cultivate the way, you must cultivate your mind."

Wukong bowed and said, "Big Brother, I've got this in mind. I will never forget to cultivate my mind."

Jiang Yuan only saw that the monkey was polite, which was very different from what he saw in the book "Journey to the West". How could he be so rebellious? If it really happened in the future, the monkey would be so perverse, which must be because the monkey had achieved enlightenment and never cultivated his mind. Without the help of the five people, it would be a disaster.

He has already advised, whether to listen or not is entirely up to the monkey.

Jiang Yuan sat at the table, listening to everyone talking about side doors. It was easy for him to understand these side door teachings. He would get some inspiration from what he heard, or he would learn one or two things. He had learned all the side door teachings.

The boy had no intention of practicing any other methods, he just listened for interest.

The lecture lasted for half a day and then the audience dispersed.

Jiang Yuanfang was about to leave. He saw Zhenjian beside him, still holding the leaf in his hand and unwilling to let go. He sighed in his heart but didn't say much.

Release the leaves and the evil will go away.

True vision never knows true numbers.

……

Jiang Yuan went to the quiet room. He passed through the small path of Yaotai and arrived at the quiet room. He did not enter the room, but he saw that the door of the master's quiet room was wide open.

The boy knew that the master was calling him, so he took a detour and walked to the master's quiet room.

Jiang Yuan bowed and said, "Master, I am here."

The master was sitting on the bed when he saw the boy coming around. He smiled and said, "Come closer, boy. How did you know I was looking for you?"

Jiang Yuan entered the room and answered, "I have been following you, Master, in cultivation for nearly a thousand years. How could I not know what you mean?"

The master said: "How can I follow you for so long and still be able to say this? It's because of your wisdom. If I could really see that I had even a fraction of your intelligence, I would have realized it long ago."

Jiang Yuan shook his head and said, "I really see that you are using 'Zen' as enlightenment. One day, you will definitely gain something."

The master said, "Tong Er is relieved. I called you so late at night because I have something to tell you." Jiang Yuan asked, "Master, is there anything I can do for you?"

The ancestor said, "Nothing has happened. This is a matter in the cave. Now my disciples of the twelve-character generation are already the tenth generation. There are still two generations of disciples with the characters 'Yuan' and 'Jue'. When all the disciples of the twelve-character generation have left, the cave will no longer accept disciples."

Jiang Yuan replied, "Yes, Master."

The master said: "My twelve generations have all run out. If the cave is to be opened again and disciples are to be recruited, it should be you who will open it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan asked, "Master, I am a disciple with limited knowledge and talent, how can I take on this responsibility?"

The master smiled and said, "My boy, you have achieved enlightenment now. Why do you say that you are not talented enough? What you lack now is just a little time."

Jiang Yuanzheng realized the insignificance of his body only after he attained enlightenment. However, after hearing what the master said, he pondered for a long time and said, "If the master finds that I am worthy of teaching, then I will open another cave in the future."

The master said, "Don't worry, boy. When the second generation of disciples comes out, I will take you on a journey and teach you then."

Jiang Yuan then bowed and said, "Yes, Master."

How could he not understand that the master was teaching him to inherit the mantle and the cave. He had followed the master in cultivation for nearly a thousand years and had received the master's true teachings. The master was like a teacher and a father to him. The two of them were no longer ordinary teachers and students who taught and answered questions.

The master got up from the bed, helped Jiang Yuan up, and said, "Have you learned all the knowledge in your sleeves, boy?"

Jiang Yuan shook his head and said, "I haven't learned it yet, Master. This method is very difficult. If it is really difficult to learn, I'm afraid it will take one or two years for me to learn it completely."

The master said: "This method is extraordinary, just concentrate on practicing it."

Jiang Yuan said: "Master, after practicing this method, what other methods do you want to learn?"

The master took out the ruler and started beating him without saying a word, scaring Jiang Yuan so much that he ran away. How could he not know how painful the master's ruler was? No matter what he said about enlightenment, the pain did not diminish at all after being hit with the ruler.

The master laughed and scolded, "You are clever, boy! You are really aiming too high. You haven't learned all of this Dharma yet, so what do you want to learn from other Dharmas? My Dharma is boundless, you should study it carefully, and I know how much you have learned."

……

Jiang Yuan returned to the quiet room, sat cross-legged on the cushion, and began to practice again. He practiced "The World in the Sleeve" very slowly, but he knew in his heart that in another one or two years, he would master it.

Because the method of Qiankun in the sleeve is somewhat related to the step of "standing tripod", the clear Qianqi of heaven and the turbid Kunqi of earth are combined for his use, but this Qiankunqi does not come from heaven and earth, but from the body. Since his immortal body is flawless, the holy fetus enters the Niwan Palace, and the body and mind are one, there is heaven and earth in the body, which is a profound magic power.

Therefore, if you do not have profound magical powers, you cannot use this method.

However, this method is just as the founder said, after casting the spell, no matter how powerful the person is, how powerful he is in kicking the sky or digging the well, or how powerful he is in subduing dragons and taming tigers, they will all be tied up and be at your mercy.

If he learns this secret world in his sleeves, and has the hundred and eight great methods, profound magical powers, and various magic weapons, there should be even fewer people who can defeat him in the Three Realms.

Jiang Yuan stopped thinking, calmed down, and practiced the magic of Qiankun in his sleeve.

……

Spring goes and summer comes, autumn ends and winter arrives, the cycle repeats over and over again, and before you know it, two years have passed.

In the Sanxing Immortal Cave, except for the changes in the crowd, the rest remained unchanged. Jiang Yuan was devoted to learning the 'world in his sleeves', and was truly blinded by a single leaf, unable to see anything. Wukong was polite and humble, and he cleaned the cave every day and took care of many matters in the cave.

In this way, after a year, Jiang Tong'er finally learned the "World in the Sleeve". When he first learned this method, it was difficult to use. He had to practice it often before he could master it and use it easily.

On this day, Jiang Yuan, who had just learned the art of the universe, had not yet tried his magic powers, when the master called on the crowd to start a lecture. He went to the Yaotai to listen to the wonderful music...
