Journey to the West, this Sun Wukong is too persuasive

Chapter 13 Leaving and Returning

The next day, Sun Wukong enlightened and practiced under a waterfall in the back mountain.

"Wukong." Patriarch Bodhi appeared in the distance with a whisk in his hand.

"Disciple pays homage to the master." Sun Wukong flashed his figure and came forward to salute.

"You have been enlightened for one year, how is your understanding of Taoism and Dharma?" Patriarch Bodhi asked with a smile.

"The disciple first learned the way of the stick from the master's teachings, and now he has reached the first level." Sun Wukong said with a smile, "In addition, the disciple also learned the archery technique from the woodcutter, from which he understood the law of the arrow, and he studied it for a year , there is also a realm.”

Patriarch Bodhi paused while waving his whisk hand, then stroked his beard and said, "Okay, okay, then I'm relieved. You can go down the mountain."

"Going down the mountain?" Sun Wukong turned around subconsciously, but quickly realized what he was doing, scratched his face and said, "Master, this disciple just came back from the woodcutter's house yesterday."

"Where are you from?" asked Patriarch Bodhi.

"This disciple comes from Dongsheng Shenzhou Aolai Guohuaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave." Sun Wukong said quickly, already understanding something in his heart.

Master wants to drive him down the mountain?
Before learning the art of killing last time, Zhihu's predecessor Know-It-All accidentally revealed that he would be driven off the mountain by his ancestor for showing off his skills.

So he had studied hard this year and never showed off his abilities in front of the other senior brothers. Why did the master still want to drive him away?
Sure enough, I heard Patriarch Bodhi say: "Wherever you come from, you go back. You have been here for ten years and it is time to go down the mountain."

"Master, how can I leave without repaying the great kindness I have received from my master?" Sun Wukong said sincerely, "Besides, how can I leave if I haven't learned perfection yet?"

"Talking about repaying kindness." Patriarch Bodhi sighed, "Teacher preaches, accepts karma and resolves doubts. I just did what I should do. If you can learn well and don't do evil with the learned skills, that is the best reward.

As for continuing to practice, you have already mastered your skills and I have nothing more to teach you.

As long as you don't forget your ambition to practice in the future, you will be able to reach the realm of Hunyuan sooner or later. "

When Sun Wukong saw that his master had made a decisive decision, he had no choice but to give up. This was probably the future that could not be changed.

"Master's teachings, I will keep them in mind." He saluted again, feeling sad in his heart.

He went to the mountain for ten years, and although he only practiced with his master for three years, in these three years, he truly felt the ocean of kindness from his master.

The teacher and his father gave him his name and never kept secrets from him.

Whatever he wants to learn, the master will teach him without asking for anything in return.

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong said reluctantly: "Master, this disciple will definitely come to visit you often in the future."

"It doesn't have to be like this. We will meet each other if we are destined." Patriarch Bodhi said, "I just want to give you a gift."

"Master, please speak." Sun Wukong said quickly.

"I have said this before." Patriarch Bodhi said seriously, "I hope you can hold on to your original intention, do more good deeds, and refrain from doing evil. Even if you suffer hardships and experience great sorrow, you will not fall into the devil's path, otherwise I will not be able to do it. Spare you!"

"Disciple, I have noted it!" Sun Wukong saluted seriously.

"Go." Patriarch Bodhi waved his fly whisk, turned around and disappeared.

"Master, my disciple has left." Sun Wukong prostrated himself to the ground again. It took him a long time to get up, then he jumped up into a somersault cloud and headed back to the East China Sea.

On the top of Fangcun Mountain, Patriarch Bodhi and the woodcutter looked into the distance, watching the cloud disappear before looking back.

One of them was confused and the other was surprised.

"It's just that he understood the law of the stick. When did he understand the law of the arrow?" The woodcutter did not conceal his surprise, "It's only been one year, one year!
He even cultivated the two great principles to the first level! "

"I can't see through it either." Patriarch Bodhi shook his head.

When Sun Wukong wanted to learn the way of killing before, he took advantage of the situation to introduce him to the way of law and taught him the practice of the stick method. He originally thought that this disciple with superior understanding would be able to learn the way of the stick within three to five years.

But he didn't expect that Sun Wukong's Taoist training now far exceeded his expectations.

There are three thousand avenues, and each of the laws of the avenue has twelve levels of realm.

As long as one can understand the first level of any great law and at the same time reach the perfection of Da Luo, there is a chance to break through and become a quasi-sage Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

This means that the quasi-sage realm is no longer difficult for Sun Wukong. It will be a matter of course as long as Daluo reaches perfection.

The woodcutter calmed down the shock a little, and then noticed a hint of worry flashing in the Patriarch's eyes.

"Master is still worried?" he asked. "He has his own way to go, what should I worry about?" Patriarch Bodhi said, "Besides, with Wukong's strength, in today's Three Realms, he is the only one who can bully others, except those who are shameless and want to use the big to bully the small. "

"Master is worried about him becoming a demon, right?" the woodcutter revealed without mercy.

"Yes." Patriarch Bodhi sighed, "He is innocent and simple, and his character has not yet been determined. He is more happy and angry, so he can become an immortal or a demon."

"I don't think you need to worry about this." The woodcutter shook his head. "Although my junior brother's character is undecided, he can distinguish between good and evil, hates evil as much as hatred, and is always kind to others and willing to help others. Even if he really enters the devil's way in the future, he can return to his true nature. , correct evil and return to righteousness.

What's more, if he doesn't go through ups and downs and suffers, and doesn't have a thorough understanding, how can he clearly understand the chess game and turn around and become a chess player. "

"You see so clearly, I should drive you out too." Patriarch Bodhi glanced at him.

"I feel at ease now. Master, please forgive me." The woodcutter quickly begged for mercy, opened a hole in the void with his hand, and left as if fleeing.

On the other side, Sun Wukong rode a somersault cloud and returned from Fangcun Mountain in Xiniu Hezhou to Huaguo Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou in less than an hour.

At this time, standing in the clouds, I could see the fairy mountain island located on the seaside from a distance.

Sun Wukong has dissipated the depression of parting before, and has become happy and secretly content with himself.

When I went there, I supported a raft and rode the wind across the sea. I traveled to Nanfanbuzhou in search of Taoism, then crossed the West Sea, landed at Xiniuhezhou in search of immortals, and finally arrived at Fangcun Mountain.

This journey took seventeen or eighteen years.

Now, it only took less than an hour to come back.

He has become immortal and has become stronger. From now on, he can truly be at ease and enjoy the wonder of immortality with his children!

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong pressed his head on the cloud and went to Huaguo Mountain, looking for a way to go to the Water Curtain Cave.

Suddenly, he heard a burst of cranes and ape cries, the sound was very sad.

Wukong was heartbroken when he heard this, and immediately shouted: "Children, come out, come out!"

"The king is coming, the king is coming!"

I heard many sounds coming, and many monkeys of various sizes jumped out from the rock ridge under the cliff, among the flowers, and in the woods, and they gathered together. There were tens of thousands of them.

They surrounded Sun Wukong and complained to each other.

"Your Majesty, why have you been away for so long? We always look forward to your return!"

"Your Majesty, there is a demon that often comes to bully us recently and wants to take over our Shuilian Cave. We fought to the death to save the cave."

"Yes, Your Majesty, that fellow recently robbed the fire in our cave and captured many of our nephews, leaving us sleepless day and night."

"Your Majesty, it's a good thing you're back. If you hadn't come back in a few more years, we and the cave would be theirs."

When Sun Wukong heard this, he was furious: "What kind of monster dares to act so boldly? Tell me in detail, and I will seek revenge on him!"

An old monkey said: "Your Majesty, that guy calls himself the Demon King of Hunshi, and he lives all the way to the north."

Sun Wukong asked again: "How long is the distance from here to him?"

The monkeys were still frightened, and one monkey said: "When he comes, it is cloudy, and when he leaves, it is fog, wind, rain, thunder or lightning. We don't know how many ways there are."

Sun Wukong comforted the monkeys: "In that case, don't be afraid, just play by yourself and wait until I find him!"

Then he jumped into the air, raised somersault clouds, and headed straight to the north.

Halfway through the journey, Sun Wukong stood on top of the clouds, as if he had remembered something.

He often consults senior netizens on Zhihu for advice, and now he is no longer an ignorant person without any scheming.

"It's strange. After more than twenty years since Lao Sun has been away, no demon has come to take over Huaguo Mountain. But just when Lao Sun is about to come back, this demon king appears?"

"Also, since this guy can break into the Water Curtain Cave, why did he only move away the worthless household items like stone basins and bowls?"

"Well, I remember a senior said that if you think this coincidence is not a coincidence, then it is definitely not a coincidence."
