Chapter 943 Awakening and Apprenticeship

The days when the stone monkey was king were free and easy.

One day, an old monkey died, and the stone monkey didn't understand what happened.

The wise old monkey said: "My lord, all creatures have a day of birth, old age, sickness and death. Unless immortal immortals, they jump out of reincarnation and live forever, otherwise there is a limit to their lifespan. The old monkey has reached the end of its lifespan."

These words touched the stone monkey immensely.

Living freely all day, I thought it was the best situation, but only this day did I realize that there is still a test of death.

At the end of the lifespan, he will die, and everything will be empty after death. The stone monkey is unwilling to accept such suffering.

"Old monkey, is there any way to live forever?" asked the stone monkey.

"My lord, I thought that there were Taoism scriptures left by ancient immortals in this water curtain cave. We can get rid of the limit of lifespan by practicing Taoism, but we searched the entire cave and found no Taoism that can be cultivated. Impossible not to die."

After speaking, the stone monkey became angry.

"No, it can't be like this, I can't die, how could I die. This day is too annoying, why should people die?"

It was the first time for the stone monkey to look up at the sky and the earth like this.

The way he looked at the world changed. For the first time, he felt that the world was like a cage, and he even restricted his own life and death.

I can never do this.

The old monkey looked around and suddenly said: "My lord, it is not impossible to live forever."

"Oh, there is a way, that's great, tell me, old monkey." The stone monkey shook the old monkey excitedly.

"Ahem, please let go, my lord, the old monkey's body is about to be shaken apart by the king." The old monkey said helplessly.

"Haha, talk quickly. Otherwise, my king will shake your body apart, haha!" The stone monkey laughed.

"That's it, that's it."

later……

The stone monkey left, listened to the old monkey's narration, and planned to cross the sea to go to the overseas fairy mountains that the old monkey said, looking for the Taoist scriptures of immortality.

The stone monkey who stepped on the bamboo raft looked towards the Huaguo Mountain where he was about to bid farewell. This was the place where he was born and where he spent the happiest time.

If it wasn't for the death of the old monkey, reminding him that he still can't live forever, the stone monkey thought that he would be happy forever without restraint.

"Your Majesty, you have to be careful. The wind is high and the waves are rough. The old monkey is also based on the legend of the predecessors. I don't know the details. Whether there are really immortals or not, you must be careful." The old monkey said anxiously.

"My lord, why don't you go, don't go overseas to find immortals, why don't we have fun?"

There are also monkeys who are worried that the stone monkey will leave.

But the stone monkey was very determined, "No, I must go to find the immortal. If you can't live forever, what's the point of living? You all go back and don't persuade me. During my absence, I listened to the old monkey. If you are in danger, you will go back and talk to me." Hiding in the Water Curtain Cave, if someone bullies you, bear with it, and when I come back after learning the Immortal Technique, I will avenge you, and I will go back."

The stone monkeys are also reluctant to part with the monkeys and the Huaguo Mountain, but they can't.

You can't live forever, and everything will become empty in the end. In the end, digging a small pit to bury his bones like an old monkey was not what he wanted.

He hates all restraints and likes to be free and unrestrained.

Although I occasionally have some strange thoughts, such as seeing the sky is not pleasing to the eye, hating the earth without a ring, why is it like a cage to imprison myself, why can't I travel to the nine heavens, why can't I test the depth of the earth?

Now, the biggest constraint in front of him is that he cannot live forever.

It is simply unreasonable that I will die one day, this is not acceptable, this is not acceptable!

We must find immortals and learn the secrets of longevity.

With a firm goal, even if what the old monkey said was illusory and a long-standing legend, he planned to try it.

Because this is the only news I can get.

That's it!

One raft, one monkey, one pole, hurricanes and raging waves are hard to find!

In the stormy weather, the stone monkeys scratched their ears anxiously, and after the rain cleared, the stone monkeys monopolized the pleasing beauty.

He was already lost, and he didn't know how many winds and waves he lost his way.

There are many small islands on the way, and every time I look forward to and worship piously, the result is empty.

The stone monkey never thought of giving up. There were countless situations where most people would have died long ago, but he insisted on making it through time and time again. I don't know if it was the arrangement of fate or man-made arrangement.

At least the stone monkey didn't know, thinking he was lucky.

This journey, the journey of asking for a teacher is nearly one year.

The stone monkey finally set foot on the land of Hezhou, Xiniu on this day.

In an area where humans live, the stone monkey saw humans for the first time, but the wise old monkey once told him about it.

The stone monkey's favorite thing to do in Huaguo Mountain is to listen to the wise old monkey tell his "few" insights and stories.

The wise old monkey had told him many times about this human race. At first, the stone monkey was very excited, and he didn't know how big the world was unless he came out.

He drifted for a year, and he didn't know how far he drifted, but for the first time, he clearly felt the size of the world and how small he was.

The wise old monkey also said that every star in the sky is a world, and there are gods or creatures.

It should be the guidance of the wise old monkey, which opened his heart to explore and a heart that is unwilling to be ordinary.

Along the way, he met a fisherman and a woodcutter, and finally worked hard. Under the woodcutter's guidance, the stone monkey learned that not far from here, there is a Lingtai square inch mountain, and a three-star cave on the oblique moon, in which there is a ancestor of Subhuti!

It is said that he is a generation with great supernatural powers, has many disciples, has the law of immortality, and has the ability to ride clouds and fog.

It was the expert I was looking for.

Patriarch Subhuti is one of the Zhunti beheaded corpses.

Zhunsheng's perfect cultivation base, after the founding of Buddhism, began to hide from the world, and non-saints could not see that this was Zhunti's beheaded corpse, and thought he was a virtuous person.

Ever since Stone Monkey left Huaguo Mountain to seek Taoism, everything has been under his control.

Bodhi is the good corpse of Zhunti.

Although cutting the corpse is based on the deity, it does not mean that there is no self-thought.

If it's just a puppet, it's not called cutting the corpse, but a clone.

Many of Shanshi Bodhi's thoughts are completely different from Zhunti's, even more like a saint than Zhunti.

When the good corpse was cut off, Zhunti was still Zhunti, but the Zhunti at this moment may not be the same as before.

Good Corpse Bodhi can also feel the change of the deity, and there is a sense of danger.

Fortunately, beheading a corpse is not a puppet. Except for the fact that the three corpses are compatible with each other, other quasi-mentions cannot be difficult for beheading a corpse, let alone beheading and other actions.

It's a very mysterious feeling, one of the two is the current Buddha, and the other is the corpse who is proficient in the three ways of Buddha, Xuan and Immortal.

What happened to the stone monkey was hard for Bodhi to accept.

It's cruel to fool an ignorant monkey and manipulate half his life.

But thinking of the persecution of the great sages in the fairy world and the helplessness of the Buddhist sect, Bodhi believed that it was not only the Buddhist sect that caused the suffering of the monkeys, but also the shameless major forces in the fairy world.

Yourself is an important part.

Thinking of this, Bodhi thought: Forget it, the stone monkey will suffer more in the future, so I will give him a pure land of soul.

He observed the stone monkey at close range with the complete cultivation of the quasi-sage and the realm of a saint, and found that the stone monkey was more miraculous than the rumors in the fairy world and what the deity told himself.

Powerful root source, two completely different breaths, one soft like a spring breeze, and the other manic and devastating.

Bodhi couldn't figure out what kind of origin this was, which made such a complete difference. However, the existence of mutual generation and mutual restraint is indeed the root of the gods and demons of heaven and earth, which is hard to understand.

It is said that in the remote ancient times, the ancestors of yin and yang were yin and yang, and the ancestors of the five elements were the five elements, and the ancestors of Qiankun and Xuanhuang were also like this.

I didn't have the chance to see it, and I thought it was impossible for the two to coexist, but the moment I saw the stone monkey, I understood that there really is such a mutual generation and mutual restraint.

Maybe this is the gap, Bodhi thought so.

——

"Disciple Stone Monkey, kowtow to meet the teacher." The stone monkey is very smart, and he calls the teacher without saying a word. This experience was taught by the old monkey.

"Haha, you hozen, who agreed to accept you as an apprentice?" Bodhi laughed.

The surrounding Bodhi disciples also smiled slightly, and some even showed disgust.

"If the teacher doesn't accept the disciple, the disciple will never be able to kneel down, and the disciple will never be able to kneel down."

"Bang bang bang!"

Knocking its head a few times, the stone monkey has no experience, so it can only do this instinctively, which is a bit shameless.

"Haha—" Patriarch Bodhi stroked his beard and laughed.

"Never mind, whatever, I will accept you as a disciple." Bodhi said.

"Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie, haha, I have a teacher, I have a teacher." The stone monkey turned somersault excitedly, seeing the surrounding disciples despise him for a while, accepting a fur-and-armored one, many disciples didn't think so.

"Do you have a name?"

"Name?" The stone monkey was taken aback for a moment. The monkeys called themselves stone monkeys, and later they were kings. They didn't have a name?

"Teacher, disciples don't have names."

"No name?" Bodhi was not surprised, as expected.

"So, you are originally a hozen, and your surname is Sun?"

"Okay, okay, okay." The stone monkey said happily.

"You have a tiger in your heart and a rose in your heart. The two coexist, and the two co-exist. On the one hand, you are manic and destructive, and on the other hand, you are kind and bright. As a teacher, I hope that you will integrate the two. If you can balance Dao Bukong, I will call you Monkey King!"

"Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong, I have a name, I have a name." The stone monkey is also Sun Wukong, so excited that he can't control himself, he has a name.

after……

Paying homage to his teacher, Sun Wukong began to follow the Bodhi Patriarch to seek the way.

Flash forward nearly a hundred years.

Sun Wukong found himself gaining nothing except listening to Bodhi's preaching.

All the other seniors have more or less learned spells and learned some small skills, but he is the only one who listens to the same teacher and the same teaching.

The other brothers, after listening to the Tao, comprehended the exercises, magic spells and small supernatural powers, but I just became a little more empty in my heart, and my thoughts became a little clearer, and I gained nothing other than that.

Sun Wukong was confused for a while, why was he like this?

On the other side, Bodhi, who is in retreat, is also facing a difficult choice.

The deity came to urge again.

"My lord, you should understand that Sun Wukong is a piece of jade in the rough, which needs to be carefully carved, instead of letting him learn a lot in a hurry, which will harm him." Bodhi said.

How could Zhunti not know, but sighed: "Friend Bodhi, I spent a lot of time communicating with you in the fairy world, so I will make a long story short, I hope you can understand...... Brother Jieying and I also understand that this stone monkey is uncut jade. , but we don’t have time to carve carefully, since the stone monkey was born, and since the stone monkey became a teacher, there have been countless people staring at it, they don’t allow you to carve carefully, I hope you can understand the difficulties between me and the guiding brother.”

"But? If you can't make up Monkey King's mind, it will harm him, and it will make him take a lot of detours."

"Fellow Daoist, he is living in an illusion, what do you think?" Zhun mentioned a word, which made Bodhi speechless.

Bodhi was taken aback for a moment, yes, Sun Wukong lived in an illusion, and he did the training in the sea by himself.

I have recently developed a love of talents, and I want to lay a solid foundation for Sun Wukong, but it won't work.

If you do this again, it may not make Monkey King perfect, or even harm him.

For example, by making an accident and disappearing, a new Buddhist came to teach Sun Wukong.

At that time, Sun Wukong's fate may be even more unpredictable.

"My lord, I understand, at the latest two hundred years, Sun Wukong will reach the Golden Immortal Master." Bodhi said weakly.

"Good, it's good that fellow Taoists understand, it's difficult to transmit sound across boundaries, and I'm leaving." Zhunti disappeared from Bodhi's primordial spirit.

Bodhi was left with a troubled face.

Bodhi closed his eyes, and through the obstacles in front of him, Bodhi saw a monkey lying on a stone with its legs crossed and a grass in its mouth, looking at the sky in a daze.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, after all, you were bestowed by the Taoist priest, and it is the legacy of the Nuwa saint who refined stones to mend the sky. Even if they go too far, they dare not kill you. With the incense of the Daoist priest and the Nuwa saint, your life is endless." Hidden dangers, the rest is up to you. Only after going through hardships can you achieve extraordinary results, monkey, you have to work hard!"

...

Bodhi, who has changed his mind, no longer makes a special distinction when he preaches again.

Previously, in order to lay the foundation for Sun Wukong and replenish his mind, all the sermons he screened, what Sun Wukong heard was the way to stabilize his mind and replenish his spiritual wisdom.

But after this time, there was no screening, Sun Wukong suddenly found that he was smarter, and he had an epiphany.

When I came here, the cultivation base of the Celestial Immortal, after listening to Bodhi for a hundred years, finally made a breakthrough this time, from the early stage of the Celestial Immortal to the middle stage, this is a huge progress

Sun Wukong laughed excitedly.

This aroused the resentment of all the teachers and brothers, but it also aroused Bodhi's attention.

"Wukong, you have been a beginner for a hundred years, and you have made some small progress this time. I would like to ask you, what kind of Taoism do you want to learn from me?" After Bodhi's lecture ended, he did not leave like before, but asked Monkey King.

Sun Wukong was excited and hurriedly said: "Teacher, I want to learn the method of immortality."

Immortality is also the Golden Immortal. The group of disciples seem to have heard the joke. If they want to live forever, they need the Immortal Golden Immortal. This hozen speaks loudly. Immortality is not so simple.

"You scoundrel, you have such a big tone, you should hit!"

"Papa papa!"

Bodhi hit Sun Wukong on the head three times, and then ignored him, and Bodhi left.

A group of disciples who disdain and laugh at Sun Wukong are left behind.

But Sun Wukong was confused. He thought too much for a while. The teacher didn't say that there is no way to live forever. He just hit himself three times. Could it be that he was testing himself?

Want to find him in the middle of the night?

Sun Wukong thought so.

And I did it when I thought of it. In the middle of the night, I really went to find Bodhi.

In the middle of the night, the conversation between the master and the apprentice was very mysterious.

Bodhi taught many methods, but Sun Wukong only wanted to live forever.

In a flash, another two hundred years...

...
