From the beginning of the flood to the heavens and the world

Chapter 160 Sun Wukong Apprentice

Just as all forces were preparing, our little monkey also embarked on a journey of seeking immortality.

After several years of searching, the little monkey also came to Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai.

From a distance, I saw a cave with five big characters engraved on it.

'Slanting Moon and Three Star Cave'

'Could it be that this is where the immortals live?And the two people standing in front of the cave are the fairy boys? ' The little monkey couldn't help thinking when he looked at the Taoist priest standing at the entrance of the cave.

Thinking of this, the little monkey ran over in a hurry, but was stopped by two trails.

"Hey, where did the little monkey come from? Don't disturb our cleaning!" One of the Taoist priests raised the whisk to stop the little monkey.

"This, this fairy boy, I, I'm here to learn from the immortals." Sun Xiaoxiao hurriedly explained.

"Learning from a teacher?" One of the Taoist priests was extremely puzzled, but the other Taoist muttered alone: ​​"Now, a monkey spirit who can't even change form, still wants to come here to learn from a teacher?"

"You, where did you come from?" one of the Taoist priests asked.

"I come from a small island in the East China Sea. After several years of wandering, I finally came here, just to learn from the immortals." The little monkey replied hastily.

"What? You, you are also from the East China Sea?" One of the Taoist priests was extremely shocked.

"What's the matter? Yes, is there something wrong?" The little monkey scratched his head, then looked at the fairy boy and asked suspiciously.

"Do you know how far the East China Sea is from here? How could you, a little monkey with no cultivation, come here from the East China Sea? Could it be that you are lying to me?" Another Taoist priest looked at the little monkey suspiciously and asked.

"You two fairies, I didn't lie to you, I really came from the East China Sea!" Seeing that the two fairies didn't believe him, the little monkey scratched his head and jumped anxiously on the spot.

"Okay! Let it in!" At this moment, a voice came into the ears of the two Taoist priests.

The two Xiaodao hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, teacher."

Then he turned to the little monkey and said, "Hey, you little monkey spirit is lucky to catch up with the master and leave the customs. Well, the teacher said to take you in together, let's go, come with me."

With that said, the three of them directly opened the door of the cave and walked in.

Inside this small cave, there is a cave, a vast world, and a rich aura.

There are even more rare treasures around, and the endless aura of spirit trees and grasses is revealed.

"Two, two fairies, where are we going? Why don't we see a fairy?" After entering, the little monkey looked around. Although the cave was full of fairies, he didn't see a single person flying into the sky and escaping from the ground. Immortal, so the little monkey asked the Taoist priest walking in front.

"You don't have to worry about this. Brothers and the others are all at the Bodhi Terrace now, and the place we are going to is also the Bodhi Terrace. The teacher should have passed the test, and he may be preaching for all the senior brothers at the Bodhi Terrace!" one of them said The monk who whisked the dust said.

The little monkey nodded, and followed the two of them closely, and arrived at the so-called Bodhi Terrace in a short time.

In a pure land above the cliff, a bodhi tree stands quietly, and under the bodhi is a bright platform on which a person sits.

The white Taoist robe and white hair are gently pulled up by a purple gold Qingyun hairpin, and the beard is gently falling in front of him, which is very elegant.

Under that person, there were even dozens of smiling disciples sitting upright, all shaking their heads and listening attentively.

The bodhi tree, the ancestor of bodhi, the voice of the great way, conveys everything.

Time passed slowly, and finally the immortal on the stage stopped preaching. The little monkey hurried forward, knelt down in front of the immortal, kowtowed nine times, and said straightly: "The disciple is determined to follow the Tao! Please accept the disciple!" !"

The Bodhi Patriarch (Zhunti Shanshi) at the top saw the little monkey, and with his Dharma eyes, he knew that this was the predestined person he was waiting for in Shanzhou in the south, and he was also one of the predestined people who spread Buddhism eastward, but this is superficial work that should be done There is still something to do, his eyes were lost, and he smiled at the little monkey kneeling below:
"Which Fang Ren are you? Why do you want to be a teacher!"

"Immortal Mingjian, this disciple is originally from the Water Curtain Cave of Huaguo Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou. Because of his admiration for immortality, he crossed the sea and traveled all over the world for more than ten years before arriving here." The little monkey also hurriedly replied .

"I heard you say that you are also a person with firm morality and deeds. Anyway, since you can reach Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai, you are destined to me, and I will accept you, a monkey!" Patriarch Bodhi counted and knew this little monkey I didn't lie, I immediately thought that this predestined person is very determined, and I couldn't help but said happily in my heart.

The little monkey was overjoyed, suppressed the joy in his heart, bowed down again and shouted: "Meet the teacher!"

"What's your name?" Seeing this, Patriarch Bodhi nodded in satisfaction and asked.

"I am originally a fairy stone on Huaguo Mountain. I was born when the stone was broken, so I have no name and no sex!" The little monkey raised his head and looked at Patriarch Bodhi and replied.

"Speaking of which, you were born from heaven and earth. Let's do this! How about I give you a personal name!" Patriarch Bodhi nodded, and then said.

"Please give me a name from the Patriarch!" The little monkey also replied happily.

"Well, I see that you are a hozen that eats pine cones. Why don't you take the surname 'Sun', little descendant. And there are twelve characters in my family, which are Guang, Da, Zhi, Wisdom, Zhen, Ru, Xing, Hai , Ying, Wu, Yuan, and Jue are twelve characters. You are the right word for 'Wu'. How about giving you a Dharma name, 'Sun Wukong'?" Patriarch Bodhi pondered for a while, then looked at the little boy. said the monkey.

"Thank you, teacher. From now on, my disciple will be called Sun Wukong!" The little monkey should be called Sun Wukong, and replied respectfully.

"Well! Let's find a place to listen to the Tao!" Patriarch Bodhi nodded.

Sun Wukong found a futon on the left and sat down. After paying homage to all the brothers, he quietly listened to the patriarch's sermon. His calm and polite performance made all the brothers feel good!My heart said, "Even though I'm a hozen, I know great gifts!"

Patriarch Bodhi's sermons do not have the appearance of wild flowers falling, the high and indifferent preaching voice, when first listening to it, I don't have much emotion, I just feel calm and peaceful, which makes people fascinated.But when I added the sermons, I felt that the sound of the sermons was like thunder, shaking the ears and awakening people deeply.

The sound of preaching was endless, a happy and peaceful Taoist light burst out from the Sanxing Cave, and went straight into the sky. For a while, the entire spiritual mountain of Fangcun Mountain was covered by this Taoism. Countless birds and beasts stopped and felt the Taoism. The mountain is lonely and silent, only the breeze is blowing!

"Swing... swing..." At this time, Daotong rang the jade bell to announce the end of the sermon.The Patriarch Bodhi on the stage had long since disappeared, and all the disciples in the audience also slowly left the stage one by one.

Time passed year after year.

On this day, Sun Wukong, as always, came to the Bodhi Terrace to listen to the Bodhi Patriarch preaching.

"How many years have you been here!" After Bodhi Patriarch finished speaking, he stopped Monkey King who was about to leave, and asked.

"Back to Master, it has been seven years since I came to Fangcun Mountain!" Sun Wukong returned to sit in front of Patriarch Bodhi suspiciously, saw the teacher asking this question, and replied after thinking about it.

"It's been seven years, not too short. What do you want to learn from me today?" Patriarch Bodhi narrowed his eyes, then looked at Monkey King and sighed.
