Journey to the West: I, the Dragon Prince of the East China Sea, worship Bodhi

"Is this where the immortals live?"

The Monkey King looked at the mountain in front of him.

But seeing the sun reflecting the haze and light locks the emerald green, the rain is harvested and the color is cold and blue.The mountains are majestic, covered by clouds and fog, making them appear extremely ethereal.

"This mountain is half-covered and half-hidden, and its aura pierces through the sky, like a... dragon!" The Monkey King couldn't help saying.

Right now.

A burst of singing sounded.

"The Jiazi in the mountains is like an instant, and a dream is floating and clear. Half a lifetime of wine, a hundred years of drunkenness, a mirror of water and moon. Ants rely on three points, and they can travel thousands of miles, and they all return to fallen leaves. Take a few rotten trees, cut trees with tinkling, laugh at the world of mortals, and sigh at birth and death. "

The Monkey King has wandered among the human world for many years.Now, when he heard this poem, he couldn't help but feel a great desolation.

Life is like a dream, whether it is a hero of a generation or a beggar on the roadside.Whether it is a mayfly that lives and dies in a day, or a kunpeng that rides the wind for thousands of miles.In the end, it will inevitably return to the loess!

Is there anything immortal in the world?
"Longevity... I have suffered so much all the way, now I can only get longevity, there is no way out..." The Monkey King clenched his fists.

Immediately, he hurried towards the singing:
"Old Immortal, Old Immortal!"

Seeing the figure of a woodcutter in the distance, the Monkey King chased after him.But for some reason, the more I chased, the farther I got.

He shouted:
"The disciple is determined to pay homage, but I beg the gods to take him in!!"

boom!
Suddenly, there was a fog that dispersed.

Rays of brilliance broke dawn from all directions, and many faces appeared in front of the Monkey King.

There was the female monkey ape he saw when he was just born.

There are also many beast companions who are happy and happy in Huaguo Mountain, drinking and having fun.

There are also Dongshengshenzhou, Nanfangbuzhou, those monsters.Or human beings, or even Taoist priests playing with themselves as monkeys...

Life and death disillusionment, one after another.

But in the end, all of this turned into a figure.

It was a young man in purple.

No, if you look closely, it looks like a young man in Tsing Yi.It's like a boy in plain clothes.

But no matter who he is, the Monkey King knows that he is the "Dragon God Emperor" he met back then!
"Emperor!" The Monkey King shouted.

suddenly.

Light and shadow shattered.

He opened his eyes suddenly, only to find that he had run to the top of the cliff at some point.

At the head of the cliff stands a stone tablet with ten big characters on it.

"Lingtai square inch mountain, oblique moon Samsung cave".

"Fangcun Mountain..."

The Monkey King was startled: "Didn't the fairy say that this is Nanhua Mountain? Why is it called Fangcun Mountain?"

But right now, he can't control that much anymore.

He walked along the stone tablet, passed the hillside, but saw a cave.

The Monkey King was impatient, jumping and jumping, and jumped to the cave.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the closer he gets to the Three Star Cave of the Oblique Moon, the Monkey King feels a kind of ecstatic emotion gathering in his heart.

And when he came to the entrance of the cave, he finally knew where the source of this emotion was...

Yes.

At the entrance of the cave, there is a pair of boys and girls.

And that boy and girl, impressively, is the boy and girl I saw in the Water Curtain Cave back then! !

Even though time has passed, nearly a thousand years have passed.

But the Monkey King still didn't forget them.

"Fairy! Two gods!!"

When the monkey king went up, he knelt down and saluted.

"Hey, you wild monkey, don't bark!" The boy quickly waved his hand and said, "We are not some gods, we are just the boys of gods."

"Cough cough."

The virgin coughed dryly, and said, "Brother, you forgot, we have seen this monkey before."

The boy looked at the Monkey King, and turned his gaze: "Oh! So it's you, you are the master who said that you came to apprentice? Hehe, didn't you prefer to have the cave than to be a teacher back then?"

When the Monkey King heard this, he felt extremely sad.He wronged and said: "I was just born that year, how could I know so many things? If I had known that the Dragon God Emperor would allow me to worship him as my teacher, I... I would have worshiped him long ago!"

"I don't know where your blessings come from."

The boy snorted: "We sisters... the boys and girls who followed the Lord in the Three Star Cave were all able to follow the Lord because of the great kindness, and they have never been destined to be apprentices. Fortunately, you have been born. Such an opportunity, I don’t know how to cherish it.”

The virgin said: "Stop saying a few words. The Lord asked us to bring him in!"

The Monkey King nodded and bowed, not daring to make a sound.

"Walk."

As soon as the boy clapped his hands, the cave door opened wide.

As soon as he entered the cave, the Monkey King knew what a "fairy's mansion" is.

Layers of deep pavilions and Qionglou, once you enter the Pearl Palace and Beique, you can't talk about the quiet room and seclusion, and you can't finish talking about the paradise!

With such a blessed place in the cave, no wonder, he gave the Water Curtain Cave to himself!
This is really... the more the Monkey King watched, the more sad he became.

Boys and girls led the monkey king into the cave.

Along the way, the Monkey King didn't dare to say anything, but he still courted the virgin with humility.

Until I walked through the layers of deep pavilions and Qionglou, and arrived under the Yaotai.The Monkey King looked up, only to find that a young man in purple was sitting on the Yaotai.

On both sides, there are more than a dozen virgins, boys and girls, accompanying them around.

The Monkey King did not dare to be negligent, and bowed down to worship: "Emperor, disciple Zhixin pays homage! Zhixin pays homage!!"

To salute with aspirations is to use sincerity to express surrender and conviction to the person in front of you.This is an extremely sincere and single-minded will.

After hearing this, Ao Qing showed a slight smile on his face.

It seems that this monkey has suffered a lot these years.

To say such humble words.

"buzz"

Right after the Monkey King said these words, in Ao Qing's eyes, wisps of purple air floated out of his body.Immediately afterwards, they rushed towards Ao Qing's location.

That is the symbol of "the relationship between master and student".

Originally, the monkey and the Bodhi Patriarch were destined.But now, this fate flocked to where Ao Qing was when he saluted him.

but.

Ao Qing gently raised her hand, and put the purple air into her sleeve, instead of absorbing it directly.

Because Ao Qing has a more important purpose, which is...inheritance.

In terms of inheritance, compared to the direct master-student relationship, a relationship similar to "incarnation" or "parent" is obviously more intimate.

What's more, the relationship between the monkey and Patriarch Bodhi's mentor and apprentice also represents an important cause and effect.

"Pohou, you can find this place from Huaguo Mountain, which shows that you have suffered a lot. But... I can't be your master. Do you remember the wish I promised you back then? That is yours and mine. Master-student fate, since you have rejected it, there is no second chance! Besides, I have never taken any apprentices." Ao Qing said.

Since he already knew the Monkey King, naturally, he has no interest in playing charades.

The Monkey King panicked when he heard this: "Dijun, Dijun... You see, for the sake of my hard work, just..."

"Wait a minute."

Ao Qing smiled and said: "Although I can't accept you as a disciple, I have promised someone to take you as a registered disciple on his behalf. I will teach you supernatural powers, how about it?"
