Lines from the first episode of Journey to the West (dialogue in which the Taoist asked Wukong what Taoism he wanted to learn)

When the Monkey King heard this, he scratched his head and smiled happily, but he couldn't help dancing. Suddenly, the ancestors saw it and shouted to the Monkey King, "Why did you dance wildly in class and didn't listen to me?" Wukong said, "The disciples are all listening attentively, and they are in heaven when they hear the wonderful voice of the teacher's father, so I am not so enthusiastic. I hope Master will forgive me! " The ancestor said, "Since you know the wonderful voice, let me ask you how long you stayed in the cave?" Wukong said, "I was ignorant at that time. I don't know how many seasons I only remember that there was no fire under the stove. I often go to the back hill to collect firewood and see a good peach tree. I ate enough peaches there seven times. " "That mountain is called rotten peach mountain," said the ancestor. You ate it seven times, so it's been seven years. What are you going to learn from me today? "Wukong said," but I learned it according to the teacher's instruction, just because I have a little morality. "

The founder said: "The word' Dao' has 360 side doors, and all of them have positive results. I don't know which subject you are studying? " Wukong said, "I respect my teacher and listen wholeheartedly." The ancestor said, "How about I teach you the way of' Shu'?" Wukong asked, "What do you mean by skill?" The ancestor said, "At the gate of calligraphy, we ask the immortals to help Luan and ask for divination, so that we can know the truth of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil." Wukong asked, "Can you live forever like this?" The founder said, "No, no!" Wukong said, "Don't learn, don't learn!"

The founder added, "How about teaching you how to flow?" Wukong asked again, "What does Liu Menzi mean?" The founder said, "There are Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Yin and Yang, Mohism, doctors, or reading classics, or chanting Buddha, and sanctifying the truth." Wukong asked, "Can you live forever like this?" The ancestors said, "If you want to live forever, you are like a pillar on the wall." Wukong said, "Master, I am an honest man, and I don't know what to call it in the local dialect. How do you call it' the pillar in the wall'? " The founder said, "People want to build a strong house, so they will erect a pillar between the walls.". One day, the building will collapse and he will rot. " Wukong said, "At this rate, it won't last long." . Do not learn, do not learn! "

The ancestor asked, "How about teaching you the way of' quietness'?" Wukong asked, "What about the positive result in the quiet door?" The founder said, "This is to rest and guard the valley, meditate, abstain from words and fast, sleep, make meritorious deeds and meditate." Wukong asked, "Can you live forever like this?" The ancestor said, "It's also like the adobe in the kiln head." Wukong said with a smile, "Master, isn't it a little sweet?" . One line says I can't speak the local language. How do you call it' kiln head adobe'? " The ancestor said, "It's like a brick on the head of a kiln. Although it has been shaped and has not been tempered by fire and water, it will be abused once it rains heavily. " Wukong said, "Not for a long time. Don't learn, don't learn! "

The ancestor asked, "How about teaching you how to move?" Wukong asked, "What about the method of moving the door?" Grandfather said: "This is something to be done, such as taking yin to replenish yang, climbing a bow and stepping on a crossbow, rubbing the navel, cooking according to the formula, singeing and diced, adding red lead, refining and taking women's milk." Wukong asked, "Are all these people going to live forever?" The ancestors said, "To live forever is like finding a moon in water." Wukong said, "Master is here again. How do you call it' fishing for the moon in the water'? " The ancestors said, "There is a moon in the sky and a shadow in the water. Although I saw it, I just had no place to touch it. In the end, it was just an empty ear. " Wukong said, "Don't learn, don't learn!"

Hearing this, the ancestor jumped off the platform with a ruler in his hand and designated Wukong: "You monkey, what are you waiting for if you don't learn this?" He stepped forward, hit Wukong on the head three times, put his hand behind his back, went in, closed the middle door and left the public. Everyone in the class was shocked. They all complained that Wukong said, "You Po Hou, you are so poor! Master taught you Tao, but you didn't learn it, and you talked back to Master! I don't know when he will come out after this collision! " At this time, everyone is complaining about him and despising him. Wukong is not annoyed at all, just smiling. It turns out that the Monkey King has solved the mystery of the dish and secretly hid it in his heart. So don't compete with others, be patient and be silent. Father hit him three times and taught him to be deliberate in the middle of the night; People who come into Guanzhong Gate with their hands behind their backs teach him to make progress through the back door and secretly teach others.
