However, according to his past experience, every piece of trash comes from the same universe, and the other half of the trash should also come from the “Journey to the West” universe.
The other half of the garbage, it seems to be a little bit drier and not so messy, most of it is dust and fallen leaves. Among them, Su Jing can still see many tattered Taoist costumes, which seem to be some kind of Taoist garbage.
Su Jing picked up a few pieces of Waste Papers with brush writing on them. The Calligraphy Writings can be considered to be in the upper-middle class, but it has a very good Artistic Conception.
One of the pieces of the paper reads: “Watching the chess game I cut through the rotten, Felling trees, ding, ding, Strolling at the edge of the cloud and the mouth of the valley, I sell firewood to buy wine, Cackling with laughter and perfectly happy. I pillow myself on a pine root, looking up at the moon. When I wake up it is light. Recognizing the old forest I scale cliffs and cross ridges, Cutting down withered creepers with my axe. When I’ve gathered a basketful I walk down to the market with a song, And trade it for three pints of rice. Nobody else competes with me, So prices are stable. I don’t speculate or try the sharp practice, Couldn’t care less what people think of me, Calmly lengthening my days. The people I meet Are Taoists and Immortals, Sitting quietly and expounding the Yellow Court.”
Su Jing pondered for a moment. He felt that this text was a bit familiar, but he just couldn’t remember where he had heard it. Picking up more Waste Papers, he continued to browse, he was surprised that there were some practice methods written on it. It was just a piece and the writing on it was very scattered. It looked like an ordinary Taoist Meditation Method.
Su Jing continued to search, and suddenly a piece of paper caught Su Jing’s attention. It said: “Mountain of Heart and Mind, Xieyue’s Three Star Cavern.”
A light suddenly burst out in Su Jing’s eyes, revealing his ecstasy. Mountain of Heart and Mind, Xieyue’s Three Star Cavern, isn’t this Sun Wukong’s Master, Ancestor Subhuti’s Cave? That is an amazing guy.
Sun Wukong is great, but he has all the skills taught by Ancestor Subhuti. All of his Seventy-Two changes Technique and his ‘Somersault Cloud’ technique were all taught to him by Ancestor Subhuti. Ancestor Subhuti has a lot of skills, but he only picked a few and taught them to Sun Wukong.
When Ancestor Subhuti told Sun Wukong to leave, he said to Wukong: “Now that you’re going, I’m sure that your life will not be a good one. Whatever disasters you cause and crimes you commit, I forbid you under any circumstances to call yourself my disciple. If you so much as hint at it then I’ll know at once, and I’ll tear off your monkey skin, chop up your bones, and banish your soul to the Ninth Darkness. I won’t let you out for ten thousand eons.”
He means that it’s your own business how you got into trouble, but you are not allowed to say that you are my apprentice.
If you say it, I will know it and I will kill you. It can be seen that if Ancestor Subhuti wanted to kill Sun Wukong, it would have been very easy for him to do so. No one knows how powerful this Ancestor Subhuti was but what they do know is that he is unfathomable.
“In other words, the Cultivation Methods on these waste papers are Ancestor Subhuti’s training methods?” Su Jing was very excited and he quickly searched through the garbage dump, trying to gather the Cultivation Methods as much as possible.
What made him depressed is that the characters on these waste papers should not be written by Ancestor Subhuti, but by his apprentices. Many of them should have practiced it. After half of the writing, the writing was crooked and then it stopped.
Some were written completely, but the paper was torn, and some were half rotten…In short, the information was too intermittent.
Su Jing was not discouraged, and he continued to sort out the trash, and he continued to sort out the trash with text information, and sort it out.
Although it is not complete, several Cultivation Methods can be seen, namely: The way of “Shu”(The Way of Magic Arts’), The way of “Liu”(the Way of Sects), The way of “Jing”(Way of Silence), and The way of “Dong”(Way of Action), which Subhuti once put forward for Sun Wukong to choose.
Among them, The Way Of Magic Arts includes summoning Immortals, using the magic sandboard, and divining by milfoil. With them, one can learn how to bring on good fortune and avert disaster.
In The Way Of Sects, Within the branch of Sects, there is Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, the study of the Negative and Positive, Mohism, Medicine, Reading scriptures, and chanting the name of a Buddha. One can also summon Immortals and Sages with this branch.
In The Way Of Silence, It involves abstaining from grain, preserving one’s essence, silence, inaction, meditation, abstaining from speech, eating vegetarian food, performing certain exercises when asleep or standing up, going into trances, and being walled up in total isolation.
In The Way Of Action, It involves acting and doing, extracting the Negative and building up the Positive, drawing the bow and loading the crossbow, rubbing the navel to make the subtle senses of humor flow, refining elixirs according to formulae, lighting fires under cauldrons, consuming ‘Red lead,’ purifying ‘Autumn Stone,’ and drinking women’s milk.
Among them, the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism are included. Generally speaking, one person cannot teach all of them.
Although Confucius is great, he can only teach Confucianism. Although Grand Supreme Elderly Monarch is great, he can only teach Taoism. Although the Tathagata Buddha is powerful, he can only teach Buddhism.
However, Ancestor Subhuti can teach it because he is proficient in all three religions, and the three religions are in one in his hand. This is also one of the manifestations of his Cultivation.
It’s just that these four are only three hundred and sixty of the “Tao” gates. They are not a great road or longevity. So Sun Wukong listened to it and didn’t want to learn it. Later, Ancestor Subhuti knocked on Sun Wukong’s head and went back.
Sun Wukong broke Ancestor Subhuti’s secret code and entered the Ancestor Subhuti room from the side door in the middle of the night, and Ancestor Subhuti taught him Seventy-Two Changes Technique and Somersault Cloud Technique.
Sun Wukong wanted to live forever, but he didn’t like these Cultivation Techniques, but Su Jing likes them, and he dreams of them. He doesn’t expect to learn all these four types, as long as he learns just one, he will be content and he would pray to the trash.
He began to collect a little more text information and strived to gather a complete Cultivation method.
