Chapter 46 Men should read Journey to the West
Returning to Yangjiao Hutong, everything here is still quiet and beautiful. What surprised Ye Hetu was that the master lurking in the distance had disappeared. What did he notice? The vision does not stay too much. Anyway, there are many people and miscellaneous eyes these days. The hidden Yangjiao Hutong with masters will make people suspicious. No matter what the reason is, the departure of this mysterious person is not harmful to the old people in the quadrangle courtyard.
Pushing open the door that is always hidden, Ye Hetu entered the small courtyard of Zhilan Yixiang. An old man was reading carefully with a book in his hand. From time to time, he put down the book in his hand, meditated on his mind, was open-minded, and picked up the book again.
"I know you will come to me again."
The old man was relieved, took off the old glasses on the bridge of his nose, and smiled at Ye Hetu.
"Grandpa is wise." Ye Hetu flattered the old man with a flattery.
"Son of a bitch, just say what you have to say. The family is awkward and see outside." The old man looked at Ye Hetu and said with a smile. He only met Ye Hetu in the third generation of the Ye family. Ye Zhengling left China 40 years ago. Hetu's father's generation of Zhengde and Zhengqiang had met him, and there was no intersection with the third generation at all, because he was so busy that he had no time to sleep all day. How much.
Ye Hetu, who was called a rabbit by the old man, was unhappy. He was not very satisfied with this nickname. He secretly said that one day he must throw this nickname to others.
Ye Hetu was about to open his mouth when he saw the book in the old man's hand. The book was opened, and a chapter appeared prominently in front of Ye Hetu.
"Grandpa, do you read Journey to the West?"
"Well, I like to look at it when I'm bored."
"I'm afraid this book has already been read through by you, right?"
"Ha ha, if the four masterpieces are so easy to be seen through, they will not be called the four masterpieces. After reading them more than 20 times, I just know a little about your grandfather."
"How many times?"
Ye Hetu was a little surprised. He didn't believe that the old man would have roughly read a book Journey to the West. When he came in just now, he saw the old man's focused eyes. It's absolutely very careful.
"Have you also read Journey to the West?" The old man asked curiously.
Ye Hetu scratched his head and answered truthfully, "I'm just a little knowledgeable."
"Good! Not to mention anything else, today we will discuss this Journey to the West. The old man said happily that he planned to pass things over to Ye Hetu in front of him in some ways. Some words should not be too shallow, and the profound things have to be relied on himself. Maybe this is the saying that "only what you can think is unspeakable".
"Why don't you take this one?" Ye Hetu pointed to the opened chapter, the real and fake monkey king.
"You must have read this chapter, so give me a summary." The old man looked at Ye Hetu expectantly and believed that the grandson would give him a different answer from ordinary people.
Ye Hetu took a look at the title of the chapter and said calmly, "It's just a monkey trick."
The old man was stunned first, then sighed, laughing uncontrollably, and more gratified from the bottom of his heart.
"There is really not a mediocre person in the Ye family, hahaha."
The old man patted Ye Hetu on the shoulder and motioned him to sit down. There is no place for this grandson that does not satisfy him. Since he can achieve such an opinion, it will be much easier next.
"Where did you get this conclusion?" The old man motioned Ye Hetu to explain.
"First of all, the identity of the six-eared macaque is very suspicious. Not to mention whether there is such a species, in other aspects, first, he does not want to eat Tang Monk meat, but knocks out the Tang Monk and robs the burden, and returns to the Water Curtain Cave to form a scripture-seeking team by himself. Such ideas and ideas are very strange, not like the work of monsters. Second, everything is unique. There is only one Monkey King, only one hoop curse, and only one Dinghai God Needle. It's just a monkey that comes out for no reason. There is no same hoop spell and a golden hoop and knows the behavior of the pig and monk like the palm of your hand. Third, the two pursue the truth and falsehood. Crossing the heavenly court and hell, the demon mirror does not show its original shape. This is a very suspicious place. When it comes to the hell, the listening of the King of Earth Treasure Bodhisattva has known the truth, but it dares not say it. What makes him know the reason and dare not say it? Can the identity of the six-eared macaque in Buddha's mouth make him afraid? It's not that simple."
Ye Hetu said euphemistically with a smile. He has only read Journey to the West. Compared with the four famous books, he actually prefers the Water Margin. What this Journey to the West expresses is much darker than the Water Margin.
The old man was silent, smiling and waiting for Ye Hetu to continue to talk, lighting an old pipe for some years. Smoking was not a pastime and a pleasure for him, but a reservation. Like memories, he smoked cigarettes, and spit out the long years of the past.
"Some of the places above are very suspicious, but why did Buddha say that there is a monkey called a six-eared macaque? Buddha is not a fool. Since he said that, there is naturally his reason."
Ye Hetu paused and looked at the old man, who was listening to his opinions with relish.
"The monkey's first two words are very different from those in front of the Buddha. In heaven and hell, it said 'distinguish between true and false'. When it comes to the land of bliss in the west, it is 'distinguish between good and evil'. Of course, the latter is said to the Buddha. Is there any difference between true and false and good and evil? Of course, there are two completely different words. The monkey's intention is naturally to express his meaning and escort the Tang monk to the west to get the scriptures. Not to mention the hard work all the way. After beating a few bandits, he has to endure the bondage of the Tang monk's tight spells. He must be unhappy at the bottom of his heart and wants to use his son to trick the Tang monk. As a result, he made this self-directed and self-acted play. The purpose was to make a big deal of it and let everyone judge it. There was no merit and hard work to escort the Tang monk. Buddha heard that it was true. The monkey cleared the obstacles for himself all the way, but the Tang monk caused a lot of trouble. Last time, he lost ten in the rhinoceros essence. Three golden mountains, so sure, the monkey is the Buddha's inner person, at least one is also a Buddha. The Tang monk is the predetermined Buddha, and the monkey is the inner Buddha. The difference between the two is self-evident. Escort the Tang monk to learn the scriptures. In the end, the pig is just the pure altar messenger Bodhisattva, and the monk is an arhat. These are all the afterwords. The Buddha's golden bowl is covered, no It's just to find a step down for the monkey. As for the six-eared macaque, it is simply a needless thing. So when the monkey saw the so-called six-eared macaque, he quickly beat him to death with a stick. Buddha's approach made him very satisfied, and there was no right and wrong. After returning to the scripture-taking team, Tang Monk did not dare to recite the curse at will. The pig was also monkey brother monkey brother. The monk, who is affectionate and has nothing to do with himself, is still honest.
Ye Hetu analyzed it well, and the old man was very satisfied with this answer.
"I can't see it. You have also studied Journey to the West, which is not bad." The old man said with relief that the answer had been beyond his expectation.
Research? Ye Hetu shook his head and just saw something simple.
The old man suddenly asked, "To be honest, how many times have you read it?"
Ye Hetu stretched out a finger.
"Ten times?"
Ye Hetu shook his head.
"A hundred times? Boy, don't brag. If it's a hundred times, you're not just the ones above. The old man has Chen Zhudao in his mind. No one knows the Journey to the West better than him. Although it is 20 times, the understanding and exploration have reached the height of a distant visit of too many people.
"Once again." Ye Hetu muttered in a low voice.
"What?" The old man's eyes widened and said in disbelief, "Once again?"
"Hahahaha, there is a successor to the Ye family, and there is a successor!" The old man suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
Ye Hetu is inexplicable.
"Ky, the Ye family will rise to a higher level on you in the future. Maybe your father will look up." After laughing, the old man said slowly that Ye Hetu's understanding and opinions were extremely rare in that place.
"What do you mean?" Ye Hetu was puzzled.
"I'll make a decision for you and go to politics in the future!" The old man's words are powerful and unquestionable.
"Why?"
"Because such a good seedling like you, it's not a waste to be in politics.
"I don't agree."
"You boy," the old man pointed to Ye Hetu and couldn't say anything. That's all. That's all. This boy likes to toss him around. When he figure it out in the future, he will come to me to help him. The old man can only think so.
Ye Hetu has run to the side to toss the pot of Phnom Penh orchids, leaving the old man to smoke alone in the yard.
"Kid, you just missed a place."
The old man laughed and said that this temper was like my time back then.
"Where is it?" Ye Hetu answered inadvertently when he heard this sentence.
"Do you know the origin of the six-eared macaque? There is only one monkey in the world called this. Why does Buddha say that it is a six-eared macaque? The old man said proudly.
"Obviously, there are not six ears. Six ears? I know." Ye Hetu smiled. The game was told through, and all the doubts disappeared.
"Do you know?" The old man was a little disbelieved and was very surprised. He could realize what he wanted to say in an instant. Only two explanations existed at the same time. He not only had a very high understanding, but also had an extraordinary memory of the original work.
"When monkeys learn art, they go through the back door. If I remember correctly, when he understood the old man Bodhi's secret words and climbed over the wall and entered the back door, Bodhi asked him why he came here. The sentence in the original book is 'There are no six ears here', and there are no ears in the wall. In this way, there are two facts. " Ye Hetu explained slowly that this game has to be said to be extremely wonderful. When he cracked it, he finally grasped a key from it, so the Tombs of the Thirteen Emperors this time will be more interesting.
The first shocking expression appeared on the old man's face. There were too many surprises brought to him by Ye Hetu.
