Journey to the West: Bound Bone Essence at the beginning

Chapter 189 Not necessarily a bad thing

A treasure trove of treasures.

Before the Iron Pillar.

Under the signal from Baigu's gaze, the monkey took two steps forward, placed his furry palm on the bottom golden hoop, and silently closed his eyes.

"Swish...swish...swish."

Suddenly, the huge iron pillar shone brightly, like the blazing sun, making it difficult for others to open their eyes.

At the same time, the monkey's mind suddenly fell into a trance, and his soul seemed to leave the body and float down the wind into a fairy palace.

"Huh." In the center of the Immortal Palace, an old Taoist sitting cross-legged on a futon suddenly opened his eyes, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Where is this place and who are you?" Monkey stood in front of the gate of the Immortal Palace and asked with a frown.

"I am the Taoist who refines the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, who are you?" The old Taoist counted his fingers, but found that the originally clear secret suddenly became chaotic at this moment.

"My name is Sun Wukong. You said you are the refiner of the Golden Cudgel. If I want to refine this treasure, do I need to pass your test?" The monkey asked, scratching his head.

"It can be understood this way." The old Taoist smiled slightly and said: "Only those with pure hearts and no distracting thoughts can drive the Ruyi Golden Cudgel like an arm. Hericium, are you willing to abandon the distracting thoughts in order to obtain the Golden Cudgel? "

"What are distracting thoughts?" Monkey asked puzzledly.

The old Taoist waved his sleeves and summoned a fairy mirror, and said calmly: "This mirror can help you see the distracting thoughts in your heart."

The monkey was also stupid and bold. He actually came to the mirror and stared at the mirror that looked like a lake for a long time. He actually saw a slender figure.

"These are your distracting thoughts." The old Taoist said.

Monkey frowned, and said coldly, "You want me to abandon her?"

The old Taoist shook his head: "It's not that I want you to abandon her, but only by abandoning her can you make the Golden Cudgel recognize its master."

"I don't want it anymore." The monkey turned and left.

"Wait a minute." The old man stood up from the futon and asked, "Do you know what you are rejecting?"

"I don't want to know." Monkey said, crossing the door directly.

However, what surprised him was that he was obviously walking out, but he took one step out and walked in again.

"Let me go!" He said to the old man expressionlessly.

"With the Golden Cudgel, you are destined to become the number one God of War in the Three Realms in the future." The old Taoist waved his hand: "Don't you long to see this kind of scene?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a picture scroll suddenly appeared in front of the monkey. In the picture, he was wearing golden armor. The bright red cloak behind the golden armor was fluttered by the wind, making a hunting sound. He was holding a Ruyi golden cudgel in his hand, and below it was Countless immortals and Buddhas are sacred.

Everyone bows down!

The monkey didn't find any bones in this picture, so his eyes were still very clear and he said calmly: "Then what?"

"What happens next?" The old Taoist was startled.

"What will happen to me then?" asked the monkey.

The old Taoist said: "You can do whatever you want, be free and happy."

"alone?"

"???" The old man was puzzled.

"Are you lonely?" the monkey asked: "For thousands of years, or even longer, you have always been alone."

The old man said: "..." Lonely?

Who cares about this sentiment?

"Do you live an interesting life?" The monkey asked again: "No one shares your happiness, no one tells you your thoughts, and there is no one close to you if you look around."

The old way: "..."

"you shut up!"

"Oh." Monkey obediently closed his mouth and simply sat cross-legged opposite Lao Dao, staring at him unblinkingly.

"Promise me something, and I can help you make the Golden Cudgel recognize its owner." The old Taoist thought for a long time and said slowly.

The monkey shook his head and said, "I don't agree."

"You haven't heard what it is yet." The old Taoist said.

"When I was a kid, Baigu told me, don't trust strangers. You are a stranger to me, so no matter what you say, I won't agree." Monkey said decisively: "As for this golden hoop Bang, whether you want to give it to me or not, forget it, I don’t care.”

The old way: "..."

"Are you okay? If not, please let me go." The monkey said.

The old Taoist came back to his senses and smiled slightly: "Although you have distracting thoughts in your heart, you are very pure and very suitable for my taste. I will give this golden cudgel to you for the time being. Whether you can keep it depends on your future. Good luck.”

After saying this, the scenery in front of the monkey suddenly shattered, his will instantly returned to reality, and he opened his eyes.

"How is it?" Not far away, Bai Gu asked.

The monkey smiled at him, then patted the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and said: "Get smaller, get smaller..."

The radiance of the Ruyi Golden Cudgel quickly faded, and the huge body began to shrink rapidly. After a while, it became two feet long and short, and the thickness of the cup mouth was just right in the hand.

Bai Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself: I'm also worried because the golden cudgel is supposed to be the magic weapon of the monkey, so how can there be any changes because of me?
"Brother, I met an old Taoist." The monkey weighed the golden cudgel and felt that the weight was comfortable. He suppressed the desire to dance and said.

Bai Gu's heart skipped a beat and asked, "What kind of old man is he? What did he do to you?"

"White clothes and white eyebrows, looks like a fairy." The monkey skipped the matter about distracting thoughts, and said: "He said that he would give me the golden cudgel only if I promised to one thing. I didn't agree, but he said I suited his taste, so he gave me the golden cudgel.”

Bai Gu narrowed his eyes and said secretly: "That old Taoist is most likely the Supreme Saint. Even if the monkey doesn't agree to any of his conditions, as long as he takes the golden hoop, it is equivalent to owing him a favor. I'm afraid it's because of this. After a while, the Supreme Saint will relent and stop imposing any conditions."

However, although he understood this, he had no intention of explaining it to the monkey.

Soldiers will block it, water will cover it, and the earth will cover it. Moreover, being involved in a causal relationship with the Supreme Being is not necessarily a bad thing. There is no need to say it to make the monkeys more troubled.

"Congratulations, you met a great person and got a great weapon." Luang Po suddenly raised his eyes and said.

The monkey asked in surprise, "Do you know who that old man is?"

"Don't say it, don't say it." Long Po waved his hand, turned around and said, "Let's go, I will take you out."

Just when the two demons left Haizang, the old Taoist who had previously talked to the monkey suddenly arrived in the underworld. Yama of the Tenth Palace knelt on the ground, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva came in a hurry.

"Don't be nervous, I didn't come to the underworld to settle accounts with you this time." The old Taoist waved to Ksitigarbha who was giving a salute, then turned to look at King Yama: "Bring the Yin and Yang scroll of the book of life and death, I want to check a person's life. "

King Yama did not dare to say anything or even ask any more questions. He respectfully took out the Yin and Yang scroll and handed it to the other party with both hands...
