Chapter 688: Stone Monkey Seeking the Way

"The first time the stone monkey was born

The poem said: The chaos is not divided, the sky and the earth are chaotic, and no one sees the vastness.Ever since Pangu broke through Hongmeng, he has opened up the distinction between clear and turbid.

Overwhelm all living beings to look up to benevolence, and to create all things to be good.If you want to know the Yuan Gong of Good Fortune, you must read the Record of Stone Monkeys Seeking Taoism.

It is said that in the past, when the two ceremonies were not separated, they were in a state of darkness, without taking shape, and the heaven, earth, sun and moon were not formed, and they were shaped like chicken eggs, chaotic and yellow.

I don't know how many years have passed, and a god-man was born in the chaos, named Pangu.Pangu opened his eyes at the beginning, and saw the surroundings were hazy and dim, so he pulled out his teeth and turned them into a magic axe, splitting the chaos and creating a world.

The heaven and the earth are opened, and the light and clear things float up to form the sky; the heavy and turbid things sink to form the earth.In the early days, the sky and the earth were changing, floating and sinking from time to time. Pan Gu was worried that the sky and the earth would overlap, so he stood in it, stepping on the earth with his feet, and supporting the sky with his hands, so as not to let the sky and the earth overlap.

The sky is getting higher and higher every day, the earth is getting thicker every day, and Pangu is also getting higher and higher.

After another 8000 years, the sky has become extremely high, and the earth has become extremely thick, and there is no possibility of overlapping.

Pangu let go of his hand, and he fell down too. Because of excessive physical wear and tear, he never got up again.

After Pangu's death, his limbs turned into quadrupoles, his five bodies into mountains, his blood into rivers, his tendons into geography, his muscles into fields, his mustache into stars, his fur into vegetation, and his teeth into metal and stone. The essence is turned into jewels, sweat into rain, breath into wind, voice into thunder, left eye into sun, right eye into moon.

Since then, the heaven and the earth have life, exuding vitality, and no longer dead.

After another 8000 years, the spiritual beings among all things were born from the breath of heaven and earth. They were called Nuwa, Gonggong, Zhurong, Xiangliu, Mengzhang, and Zhulong"

Seeing the beginning, some people must know what Gongliang is writing about?

That's right, it's Journey to the West.

But he didn't just copy it. The previous part was integrated into the ancient Chinese mythology of Pangu opening the sky, the legend of Nuwa creating man and Nuwa mending the sky, which clearly and transparently explained the origin of heaven, earth and human race.

"

In another 8000 years, Gong Gong and Zhu Rong fought for the emperor, angered the mountains of Zhou, the pillars of heaven were broken, and the four poles were abandoned. The sky tilted to the northwest, where the sun, moon and stars were in place; .The human race was suffering from the water and fled to the mountains, and the beasts and birds took the opportunity to eat it.

Nuwa couldn't bear the suffering of the human race, so she smelted five-color stones to mend the sky, cut off the feet of the turtles and re-established the four poles.

Later generations divided the world by four poles, called Dongshengshenzhou, Xiniuhezhou, Nanfangbuzhou, and North Juluzhou.

There is a country outside Dongsheng Shenzhou called Aolai Country.The country is near the sea, and there is a famous mountain in the sea, called Huaguo Mountain.

This mountain is the ancestral vein of the ten continents, and the dragon from the three islands.

······

On the top of that mountain, there is a piece of fairy stone, which was left by Nuwa by refining the stone to mend the sky.

The stone is three feet six feet five inches high and has a circle of two feet four feet.Three feet six feet five inches high, according to the 360 ​​five degrees of the sky; two feet four feet circle, according to the political calendar 24 qi.

There are nine orifices and eight holes on it, according to the nine palaces and eight trigrams.There are no trees for shade on all sides, and there are Zhilan on the left and right.

Since the opening of Gai, every time he is shown innocently, the sun is fine and the moon is shining, and he has felt it for a long time, so he has the meaning of psychic power.Endogenous fairy cells.One day it bursts open, producing a stone egg, which is as big as a ball.Seeing the wind, he turned into a stone monkey.All five senses are complete, all four limbs are complete.Then he learned to crawl and walk, and worshiped the Quartet.With two golden lights in his eyes, he shoots towards Doufu"

After arriving here, when it comes to crossing the sea to seek the Tao, it will be the content in Journey to the West. Gongliang doesn't bother to copy all the content.

But in the end, there is no way to copy, so he changed the head and tail, changed his appearance, and integrated it into the biography of Wukong, and the legend of the god of heaven and earth and the ancient god ape that already existed in this world, and the title of his book is not called Journey to the West. It is the record of the stone monkey seeking Taoism.

The reason for taking this name is because there is no Buddhism in this world, or Buddhism has not yet been born.

As we all know, Buddhism was founded by Gautama Siddhartha, the prince of Kapilavatthu, who was controlled by the Shakya tribe in ancient Nepal, who was honored as Sakyamuni.

There are a large number of ancient Indian Brahman inheritances in Buddhism, but the Brahmans believed in the caste system, just like the ancient Chinese aristocrats, the royal nobles and the children of the family are superior, while the poor and the poor are extremely humble.It's just that the poor and poor in ancient China still had the opportunity to make their status noble through various channels.But in the Brahmin caste system, once you have a cheap surname, whether it is you, your family members, or even your children and grandchildren, you will be an inferior slut forever and ever.

As the saying goes, "Where there is oppression, there is resistance", so there is the idea of ​​equality of all beings that is opposed to Brahmanism.

The era of Sakyamuni was the period when the sixteen countries were fighting for hegemony. Thinking about the Warring States and Three Kingdoms in ancient China, one can imagine the tragic scene.

The ministers of the Kapilavastu state controlled by the Sakya tribe belonged to the Kosala Kingdom. Because they were weak, they were often threatened by aggressive neighbors, and their status was very fragile.

Sakyamuni lost his mother when he was young, so he had a strong introspection tendency and keen sensibility when he was young. As a prince of a declining tribe, facing the bleak prospects of his country and seeing through the world, he decided to become a monk and shave his head Traveling south on alms bowl, he arrived at Magadha, the center of the new culture of ancient India. Here he visited famous teachers and learned a lot of knowledge. Finally, he integrated them, realized the true way, and developed a theory of Buddhism.

Buddhism, like Taoism, was established by followers of later generations.

If you do research, you will find that there are many shadows of Brahmanism in ancient Buddhism.

But modern Buddhism is a bit different, especially Chinese Zen, which can be said to seldom see the shadow of Brahmanism. It should be said that Zen is a theory recreated by integrating Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.

It is generally believed that Vedaism is the predecessor of Brahmanism.

Now there is also ancient Vedicism in the west of this world, but everything in this world seems to be different from Gongliang's previous life, and he doesn't know whether Buddhism will appear in the end.

But even without Buddhism, other sects should have emerged.Any kind of thing, as long as it is oppressed to the extreme, there will be a rebound, without exception.

This is the case with many peasant uprisings recorded in the historical records of Gongliang's previous life.

Of course these are off topic.

After Gongliang finished writing a novel, he started writing again.The first part of Stone Monkey's Quest for Taoism except Pangu Kaitian and other mythological chapters is removed, but the latter part is actually exactly the same as Journey to the West. He only needs to copy it.But later on, when the stone monkey ascended the throne and was called the "beautiful monkey king", he suddenly worried about life and death, and wanted to go out to seek the Tao and learn the law of immortality.

The world is difficult, and learning is the same. Things that are too easy to get are often not cherished.

Therefore, Gongliang set up various obstacles on his way to seek the Tao.

For example, when crossing the sea, the wind and rain are blowing, and sea beasts attack.After crossing the sea after a narrow escape, he first entered the human world, and was almost fascinated by the prosperity.Shang Hao's heart was firm, and he moved forward with one heart, and finally reached the Sancun Mountain, and worshiped a famous teacher.

Up to here, apart from adding oil and vinegar to add more monsters and ghosts in the middle, and creating some hardships and dangers for the stone monkey to seek the way, the other content is similar to Journey to the West, so Gongliang wrote very quickly, and he wrote a lot in half a day.

Seeing that Papa was not going out to play, Migu was lying on the table writing those annoying things, so he flew over curiously and asked, "Papa, what are you writing!"

The most annoying thing about this little thing is writing. If Gongliang hadn't forced her back then, she probably wouldn't know Dongtu calligraphy now.

Hearing her words, Gong Liang put down his pen, stretched his waist and said, "Father is writing a story."

Migu suddenly became interested, got into Papa's arms, blinked his big eyes, and asked innocently: "Papa, what story are you writing! Is there any good story that I tell, Xiao Ling'er, Xiao Zhi'er, Xiao Linger? Dai, Xiaoji, and Xiao Xiangxiang all like to listen to stories told by my puppet!"

Gong Liang rolled his eyes and thought to himself: Comparing the novels I wrote with the stories you tell, it seems that I am not up to standard.

Looking down and seeing the expectant look on the little guy's face, Gong Liang stopped writing the book and said, "Father wrote a story about a monkey. It is said that in ancient times, the world was still in chaos. There was no sun, moon and stars, and no "Mountains and Rivers"

Gongliang told the little guy about the novel he wrote, but the ordinary and simplified version is not as complicated as the one written in the book.

Yuan Gun Gun was sleeping on the ground, but after listening to it, he immediately ran to its side and listened carefully.

Xiao Xiangxiang poked her head out from between its fur and listened carefully.

Little Migu was lying in Papa's warm embrace, motionless, with his eyes wide open, listening very seriously.
