Brother Monkey squatted on the railing of the pond, looking down at the big black fish swimming in the lake.
There are no more small fish.
The little one was eaten up by the two of them.
"What should we do?" Brother Monkey scratched his head in distress and said, "How about catching two big fish? Although they are difficult to handle, the meat is still delicious."
As a result, after he finished speaking, all the big fish went swimming crazily.
After a while, they all disappeared.
Brother Monkey felt a little depressed when he saw this.
They were indeed a bit greedy during this period, which caused the fish here to be scared when they saw the two of them.
Lin Fang also sighed. It looked like he couldn't eat the fish.
"How about something light?"
His eyes looked at the lotus flowers in the pond.
Where are the lotus flowers?
In order to replenish his points, he exchanged all the things in the Sutra Pavilion that could be exchanged for points. The first thing that bore the brunt was the lotus flowers in the two ponds.
In the pond now, there are only some broken lotus leaves floating on the water.
And it's already withered.
When Lin Fang saw this scene, he sighed again: "Hey! It looks like we can only celebrate after we go out tomorrow."
The tone was slightly proud.
Last time he just ate some small flowers and lotus leaves from Patriarch Bodhi.
He just flicked his sleeves and was thrown away.
Almost scared to death!!
But today he was busy in two lotus ponds, but Patriarch Bodhi didn't say a word.
How could I feel unhappy?
He looked at Brother Monkey beside him.
Sure enough, if you want to do bad things, you still have to follow Brother Monkey to be safe.
Brother Monkey is really a man who makes people feel safe.
Brother Monkey, who didn't know that Lin Zang was planning him in his mind, looked a little disappointed, turned over and jumped off the railing.
"Alas! This is the only way."
The two of them turned around and headed towards the Sutra-Tiding Pavilion.
But at this moment, a soft white light lit up behind him.
"Wukong."
A familiar voice came, and both of them were excited.
Brother Monkey quickly turned around and knelt down, while Lin Fang simply retracted into his shell and became a very standard turtle with its head shrunk.
Ancestor Bodhi glanced at Lin Fang with some disdain.
Then he turned towards the pond.
Some anger emerged in his eyes.
Two good ponds were lost to two people, and he needed to take a little bit of money from the small treasury to make up for the shortfall.
This is all the wealth he prepared to avoid the catastrophe.
Little turtle, I remember you!!
But now is not the time to deal with this matter. Patriarch Bodhi looked at Brother Monkey.
"Wukong, do you know your mistake?"
Brother Monkey knelt on the ground, clasped his hands together, and looked towards the Patriarch.
"My disciple knows his mistake."
"Then where did you go wrong?" the Patriarch continued.
"Disciples should not be greedy for eating the fish from the ancestor's pond. The ancestor asked his disciples to come to this Buddhist scriptures pavilion because he wanted his disciples to succeed in their studies instead of being greedy for food."
"So how did you study?"
Brother Monkey smiled sheepishly.
"This disciple is ashamed of his trust in his ancestor. This time, he has only seen through 90% of the secrets of the books in the pavilion."
"Have you seen everything?"
Patriarch Bodhi's tone revealed surprise.
Even he didn't expect Brother Monkey's understanding to be so good.
This time, he put a lot of profound secrets into the Sutra Pavilion. For an ordinary person, it would take him a lifetime to study just one book before he could fully understand them.
But it only took Brother Monkey three months to understand 90% of it.
"I haven't seen everything through. My disciple has only seen through 90% of it, and there is still 10% that he has not understood."
Brother Monkey quickly explained.
He thought he had understood everything the Patriarch said and had misunderstood.
Patriarch Bodhi was also brought back to his senses by his words. He suppressed the shock in his heart and said, "Then do you think you have made any progress compared to before?"
"My disciple feels that his income is huge."
"Then what progress do you think there is?" Patriarch Bodhi asked next.
At this time, he suddenly became interested in testing.
Brother Monkey was stunned when he heard this. He immediately understood that the Patriarch was testing him, and he couldn't help but get excited.
If he can pass the test today, maybe he can become the direct descendant of the ancestor.
At that time, you will have the opportunity to be taught the Dharma of Immortality.
"My disciple's cultivation has made great progress, and he has entered the Tao through observing thousands of techniques. His understanding of the Tao has also become one step closer, and his understanding of the world is clearer than before."
"Oh! Then tell me?"
Patriarch Bodhi also became interested at this time and looked at Brother Monkey.
Brother Monkey organized his language a little and said with a smile: "My disciple looked at the secret books in the pavilion and found that these books are basically preaching about what they are."
"The same goes for the Grand Master's great Immortal Art."
"The so-called Kung Fu."
"It's just an application of Tao that we have figured out based on our own understanding of Tao."
"But the Tao is everywhere."
"Some practices have a shallow understanding of the Tao, while others have a profound understanding of the Tao. There are even many practices where the concepts conflict with each other."
"But these are the Word."
"Tao embraces all things, gives birth to all things, and integrates into all things."
Ancestor Bodhi didn’t expect Brother Monkey to say such words, and he couldn’t hide the shock in his eyes.
Lin Fang's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide at this time.
Is this still the Monkey King who only knows how to fight in his memory?
Brother Monkey is actually so smart!!
These words cannot be said by just being clever. You must have a certain understanding of Tao before you can say these words.
The ancestor was also very satisfied.
"Then what do you think about Buddha?"
"The Buddha is compassionate and saves people in the world, but people in the world cannot just wait for the Buddha to come to save them. All living beings should constantly strive for self-improvement."
"Instead of relying on the Buddha, it is better to rely on yourself."
Brother Monkey clasped his hands together and said only this sentence.
Patriarch Bodhi frowned slightly and said, "So you think the Buddha was wrong?"
Brother Monkey shook his head and said: "Buddha's original intention was to point out a clear path to salvation for the world, so that people can escape from the sea of suffering and reach bliss as soon as possible. However, people's hearts are sophistical, and if there is no one to guide them, it will be in vain to show the way."
"Not to mention that there are many temptations on this road that can lead people to fall."
Patriarch Bodhi frowned even more tightly.
He felt that Brother Monkey had touched the window paper.
Just pierce it.
Then he can understand the true meaning of Journey to the West.
So he then asked: "Then what do you think the Buddha should do?"
Brother Monkey shook his head at this time.
"Disciple I don't know."
"I don't know?"
"Yes, I am not a Buddha. I don't understand what the Buddha thinks." Brother Monkey's expression became more pious.
Patriarch Bodhi struck while the iron was hot.
"What if one day you become Buddha?"
Brother Monkey frowned.
He became Buddha?
He couldn't help but wonder what would happen if he became a Buddha?
Seeing his silence, the Patriarch did not bother him.
Time passed little by little.
Brother Monkey never gave the Patriarch an answer.
There was also a bit of disappointment on the Patriarch's face. Perhaps he had acted too hastily. After all, Monkey was still in charge of the great catastrophe of the Journey to the West, and had never walked the journey to the West, and had never understood the true meaning in his heart.
Lin Fang also saw it and was anxious in his heart.
