Chapter 31: Bodhisattva Heart

 "What bridge enters the shoes?" the traveler asked.

The Dragon King replied, "The immortal in the painting is called Huang Shigong, and the mortal in the painting is Cao Zhangliang, a man from the Han Dynasty."

"One day, Huang Shigong was sitting on the bridge, and the shoes he was wearing suddenly fell off the bridge."

"He called Zhang Liang who was passing by to get it."

"Zhang Liang hurried down the bridge and brought him the shoes."

"Unexpectedly, Huang Shigong doesn't wear shoes properly, and he did this three times."

"Every time, Zhang Liang did not complain and went down the bridge to fetch his shoes for him."

"Huang Shigong then felt that this young man was diligent and conscientious, so he taught him the Book of Heaven at night and asked him to help the Han Dynasty."

"Later, it turned out that everything was under Zhang Liang's planning, and he was able to win the battle thousands of miles away."

"When the country is unified and the world is at peace."

"Zhang Liang gave up his prominent official position in the world and hid in the mountains."

"One person, one mountain, understands the way of immortality."

"Great Sage, if you don't protect Tang Monk, you won't work hard and you won't be taught."

"What we are saying is that we have broken through the Three Realms and Nine Heavens. After all, Great Sage, you are a demon. Don't ever think about becoming a righteous person again."

After Wukong heard what the Dragon King said, he sat on the coral chair and pondered for a long time in silence.

The Dragon King advised from the side, "The Great Sage should make a decision on his own, and don't waste your piety by seeking temporary ease!"

The Dragon King of the East China Sea speaks the truth, and he can be regarded as a best friend.

The traveler jumped up from the coral chair, "Don't talk any more."

He handed over the purple gold alms bowl in his hand and said, "Hurry and prepare some fast food for me and put it in this alms bowl. Old Sun will go back and protect him right away."

The Dragon King was delighted when he heard what he said. He said, "In that case, Xiaolong will go and prepare a fast meal. Great Sage, please show mercy early and don't leave the master for too long."

The traveler took the purple gold bowl filled with rice and set off in a hurry. With a shrug of his body, he left the Undersea Crystal Palace.

He climbed up into the clouds, and the sound of saying goodbye to the Dragon King of the East China Sea echoed in the air.

Wukong was walking halfway when he unexpectedly met the Nanhai Bodhisattva.

The Bodhisattva admonished, "Sun Wukong, why don't you, monkey-head, receive no instruction? If you don't protect Monk Tang, why don't you come to the East China Sea?"

The shameful monkey was knocked all over. He hurriedly saluted in the clouds and said, "Thanks to the kind words of the Bodhisattva, a monk from the Tang Dynasty arrived at Huaguo Mountain in the Two Realms a few days ago."

"He took off the pressure tape, saved my life, and released me."

"Today I went to study with him. The dry food was scattered, so I came out to ask for alms and fast food."

"I never thought that mortals would see my appearance and not know my true heart."

"Everyone closed their doors tightly, and out of anger I came to the East China Sea to seek alms from the Dragon King."

"Now that I have become a vegetarian, I will go back immediately to protect him."

When the Bodhisattva heard the words, he did not reprimand him anymore. He said, "Go as soon as possible. Don't miss it and delay it for too long."

The polite monkey bid farewell to the Bodhisattva and flew quickly in the air.

This air traveler returned to the west of Dongtu, slowed down and looked around in the air.

For a moment, he saw Li Fu sitting sullenly on the side of the road.

He got off Ruiyun, walked up and said, "Master! Why don't you just rest here? Why don't you hurry up?"

Li Fu replied, "I was traveling alone for a while."

He raised his head and said, "It's just that when you look at the dark sky, you can't see the big light."

"As a teacher, I only know that the sun sets in the west, but now I can't see the sun. It's better to rest again, so as not to make the joke of going west to east and delaying the trip."

Li Fu said and asked, "Where did Wukong go? It took some time."

The ashamed monkey scratched his head and said, "Master, I went to the old Dragon King's house in the East Sea to beg for a meal."

As Wukong spoke, he took out the purple gold alms bowl from his arms. There was a flattering smile on his little face. He said, "Master, the meal is still hot. Eat it quickly! Eat it quickly!"

Li Fu took out his chopsticks and started eating.

He chewed slowly and took a bite, then said, "My disciple has great magical powers. He can reach the land of the East China Sea in just an hour without his master."

Wukong thought Li Fu was speaking sarcastically and accusing him of lying.

He said, "To tell you the truth, Master, I can ride a somersault cloud, and a single somersault can cover a thousand miles."

"Therefore, wherever I go from here to the Eastern Sea, I can only arrive and leave at the same time, just a stone's throw away."

Li Fu said, "I know, I know. I'm just a disciple, why do you ask for fast food and go far away instead of the near, and then you are as far away as the East China Sea?"

Wukong replied, "Master, you don't know! Those mortals only look at appearances and don't know the true heart."

"When they saw my appearance, they thought I was disgusting and abnormal."

"They won't even open the door, so how can they be willing to listen to me and give me some fast food?"

"So I went all the way to the East China Sea and had a vegetarian meal with the old Dragon King."

When Li Fu heard this, he swallowed the food in his mouth and made a suggestion.

"Disciple, if there is another need to transform into a vegetarian, and the people nearby are too far away from being a master."

"If you had transformed into a beautiful person, you wouldn't have to run so far every time."

The monkey head also heard the same truth. He has the ability to be ever-changing, so why should he stick to his true form?

However, he had some doubts, "Master, doesn't this count as deceiving these mortals?"

Li Fu replied, "Do you have any intention of hurting them?"

Wukong shook his head.

Li Fu said, "That's it. If you want to achieve results, means are also very important."

"If others are taboo, you want to get things done."

"It's not a bad thing to tell a 'good lie'."

When Wukong heard this, he seemed to have some understanding.

When Li Fu finished his fasting meal, it was not too late yet.

The master and the apprentice all plan to go further.

However, when Wukong closed the package, he saw a cotton gown that just matched his body shape.

He said happily, "Master! Are these clothes prepared for me?"

Li Fu replied, "Yes and no."

Wukong asked, "What's the explanation?"

Li Fu said, "This garment was given to me just now by the old lady incarnate as Guanyin, to teach you how to put it on."

Wukong recalled that when he returned, he met the Bodhisattva and murmured, "I didn't expect that the Nanhai Bodhisattva had such a kind heart."

Li Fu said, "I'll check this cotton-padded coat. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with it. However, even my mortal eyes can't be sure. Wukong, please check it again."

After Li Fu finished speaking, he pointed to the hat next to a hoop.

He said, "But disciples must not wear those hats and hoops casually."

Wukong asked, "Why? I think that hat is very beautiful."

As he spoke, he wanted to pick it up.

Li Fu said, "That hat looks good, but it's really tight."

"If you wear it, it will take root into your skin. If I recite the "Tightening Mantra", it will give you a splitting headache. You will not be able to live or die, and you will not be able to die."

"No one dares to disobey my words like this."

When Wukong heard this, he retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted. He was shocked and said quickly, "Good boy! Good boy! Could it be that Lao Sun has just left the Two Realms Mountain and is about to be crushed again by this small Five Elements Mountain!" <
