Journey to the West, this Sun Wukong is too persuasive

Chapter 9 Who is the Woodcutter?
"Woodcutter's Huangting Sutra practice experience, Woodcutter?" Sun Wukong scratched his face and fell into deep thought.

When he first came to Fangcun Mountain, it was the woodcutter who showed him the way, and he found Sanxing Cave.

Later, when he was sweeping the floor and fetching water in Fangcun Mountain, he often went to the back mountain to collect firewood. In the past seven years, he had seen the woodcutter many times, but he did not realize that he was a practicing man.

"This man is dishonest." Sun Wukong didn't think about it carefully before, but now that he thought about it carefully, he realized that this man was not simple.

Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, the Sanxing Cave with the slanting moon, is the fairy cave.

If the woodcutter was just a mortal, how could he chop wood anywhere in the back mountain, as if he were in a deserted land, and yet he knew the situation in Sanxing Cave so well.

"I'll definitely check him out if I get the chance." Sun Wukong had some concerns in his mind, and then thought: "Well, I wonder if Zhihu netizens know about the woodcutter?"

Thinking of this, I opened the listening and persuasion system and posted a new question on Zhihu.

"I am Sun Wukong. I would like to ask you, seniors, if you know the woodcutter of Fangcun Mountain?"

Within a moment, a netizen responded.

Great Sword Six Hundred and Six: "Fangcun Mountain is the dojo of Patriarch Bodhi. If the woodcutter were a mortal, he would have no chance to cut firewood on the mountain at will, so there is only one possibility. He is the apprentice of Patriarch Bodhi."

"This senior has the same idea as Old Sun!" Sun Wukong was very happy.

But it was quickly refuted.

A thousand twists and turns: "The one upstairs is wrong. The woodcutter and the monkey made it very clear when they first met that he has an old mother at home who needs support, so he cannot practice cultivation."

Great Sword Six Hundred and Six: "Then how do you explain that he knows everything about Sanxing Cave and can go in and out of Fangcun Mountain at will? For another example, you can find a mortal to go to Lingshan to chop wood."

"Lingshan and Fangcunshan are not the same thing. You are trying to argue, you are really a arrogant person!"

"I'm going to reason with you calmly, don't throw away the gangster's hat easily,
The woodcutter said that he wanted to support his old mother and could not practice cultivation, but who knows whether what he said was true or false.
Besides, he lives next to the gods, sings the songs of the gods, and talks about the Huangting Sutra. I wonder what mortal can do that? "

"Barbarian!"

"roll!"

……

"Hey, it's interesting, it's interesting. It seems that not every senior Zhihu can know everything, and there are also strong and weak ones." Sun Wukong scratched his hand.

The two Zhihu netizens had a lively quarrel, and he watched it with great interest. In the end, he was still not sure whether the woodcutter was a mortal or not.

But at this moment, several netizens responded, and the reply from an old acquaintance caught his attention.

Know-it-all in the prehistoric times: "Let me answer this question for you. The woodcutter was Hou Yi, the great witch of the Wu clan and the best archer in the prehistoric times. Nine days after he shot down, he was chased by the Demon King and finally hid in Fangcun Mountain.

In order to remain anonymous, he turned to ax training, and later transformed into the woodcutter Wu Gang, accompanying Chang'e in the Moon Palace while cutting down osmanthus to practice axe. "

Someone else reminded me below this reply: "Wrong, first of all, it is Dayi, not Houyi, and then it is a special word for the emperor of the Xia Dynasty. Houyi was the sharpshooter who usurped the throne of the Xia Dynasty.

Secondly, with Chang'e's relationship, it makes sense to say that Wu Gang is the incarnation of Yi, but do they have a bird-feather relationship with the woodcutter? "

"It's all the Ax Gang."

"Is this okay? It's too ridiculous. This is how Shinhwa was ruined by you!"

“Isn’t myth just imaginative creation based on limited logic?”

"Brother is right."

"Humph, if I were Sun Wukong, I would definitely learn archery from the woodcutter. With Sun Wukong suppressed by long-range firepower, it's exciting to think about it!" Sun Wukong thinks these senior netizens are really interesting, and the prehistoric know-it-all seems to be sure that the woodcutter is the legendary one. Yi who shoots the sun.

At this time, the listening and persuading system also gave new suggestions.

[You have received a new suggestion: learn archery from the woodcutter. Complete the suggestion to get a level [-] treasure chest]

"Learning archery? Well, that's a good idea." Sun Wukong rolled his eyes.

What is the identity of the woodcutter? You will find out when you find an opportunity.

The next day he came to the back mountain and after a little exploration, he found the woodcutter cutting wood.

"This man is indeed here, saving me from having to look for him again."

I saw a big man in coarse clothes chopping firewood with an ax in a mountain forest.

Sun Wukong is already a Daluo Jinxian. He didn't think it was a big deal when he saw the woodcutter chopping firewood before. But now when he saw him again, he found that the woodcutter's ax chop was quite skillful.

Without much effort, he easily cut off a tree branch as thick as an arm, and the cut was very smooth.

It's really not easy!
Sun Wukong was more curious, so he stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Brother, come to chop wood again."

"It's you." The woodcutter straightened up with a smile and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. "Why, Patriarch Bodhi hasn't taught you the way to immortality yet?"

"Hehe, I taught you, I taught you." Sun Wukong scratched his hands and said with a smile, "It's just that Sun has been a little irritable in his practice recently, so he came out to take a look."

When the woodcutter heard this, he thought that Sun Wukong was impetuous because he felt that the law was too difficult to understand.

He pondered for a moment, picked up the ax, walked to a small tree, and said seriously: "Although I don't know how to practice, I know it's definitely not that simple.

Just like chopping firewood, it took me a lot of effort to chop down a stick of firewood at first.
Later, as I became more proficient with the axe, I felt that I could split anything with just one strike of the axe. "

"So don't rush for success in anything, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, just practice hard and make progress all the time." As he spoke, he casually slashed down the small tree in front of him at an angle, breaking the small tree in front of him.

"You don't have to be wise to get advice?" Sun Wukong was very happy. This was an unexpected gain. He handed over to the woodcutter and said, "Thank you for your advice, brother."

"It's good if you understand." The woodcutter smiled and nodded, but he had doubts in his heart. This monkey was a little weird today.

"We've known each other for many years, but you haven't asked me what your name is?" Sun Wukong asked suddenly.

"How can I be called by a good name? Just call me Wu Gang." The woodcutter laughed.

"Oh? Wu Gang?" Sun Wukong scratched his face and rolled his eyes before suppressing his surprise.

As Zhihu netizen Honghuang Baoshitong said, the woodcutter is Wu Gang!

In that case, the woodcutter was still the greatest archer of all time, Dayi!
When he was reading scriptures in the Sanxing Cave Sutra Pavilion, he had seen some mythological and historical books and the origin of the world. Of course, he knew that this world began in the prehistoric times, and then experienced many catastrophes before evolving into the three realms it is today.

So he was no stranger to the legend of Yi shooting for nine days.

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong took out a pair of bows and arrows out of thin air and said directly: "Old Sun wants to learn archery skills recently. I wonder if I can give you some advice?"

The woodcutter's smile gradually disappeared.
