Chapter 252 The Ancient Temple

Time flies, white horses pass by.

Years passed like this.

During this period of time, Gu Tian presided over the ancient temple on Fangcun Mountain under the pseudonym Zhen Shigou.

On that day, the battle between Gu Tian and Bodhi Patriarch was earth-shattering and widely circulated in the mortal world. In order to unify the thoughts of the mortals around him, Gu Tian gave full play to his strengths and specially wrote a story about the battle between gods and demons and spread it to the world. , the god of heaven naturally refers to Gu Tian himself, and the demon is the ancestor of Bodhi, that is, the sage Zhunti. In short, the core content of the story is that the god of heaven bravely and invincibly defeated the demon and saved the common people.

It is precisely because this story was spread in the mortal world that the god Zhen Shigou and the ancient temple became famous all at once. Almost everyone knew the existence of the ancient temple, and there was a story specially circulated: Once upon a time, there was a square inch mountain. There is an ancient temple, and there is a god in the temple, and the name of the god is Zhen Shigou!

The power of public opinion is invincible.

In this way, Fangcun Mountain became a famous fairy mountain within a radius of ten thousand li, and the ancient temple also became a sect of immortals.

The villagers near Fangcun Mountain even regard Zhen Shigou as the only true god in their hearts. Every household enshrines the statue of the ancient god, and burns incense and worships it every day!
Looking at the empty Taoist temple, Gu Tian always felt that it didn't match the image of the Immortal sect in his mind, so he successively accepted some children of mountain and field peasants to practice in the Taoist temple.

These children have good or bad cultivation talents, and he is not too picky. He accepts them when they meet the eye. The children in the mountains are extraordinarily hardworking, and they can take care of ordinary affairs at a young age, which makes Gu Tian a lot more worry-free.

some day.

Gu Tianduan sat above the main hall of the ancient temple and explained the difficult problems of cultivation, while more than a dozen children sat below and listened carefully.

At this moment, a sneaky figure poked in from outside the door, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a monkey head.

I saw his eyes looking at everything in the hall curiously and nervously. He was the Lingming Stone Monkey. He set out from Huaguo Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou and came across the ocean. He Niuzhou still had to suffer strange looks from others, and finally found this place after asking many people.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

The disciples sitting in the back row of the main hall found the monkey outside the door and immediately got up to inquire.

"Dare to ask, but this is the ancient temple?"

The monkey asked back, and at the same time looked at everything in the hall, and finally his eyes fell on Gu Tian, ​​and he couldn't move away.

"This is the ancient temple, if you have nothing to do, leave quickly!"

Disciple said.

But the monkey ignored the disciples, and knelt down directly to Gu Tian on the high platform of the main hall, and shouted: "I am a monkey who jumped out of the rocks of Huaguo Mountain. I came across the sea, and I want to learn the art of immortality from my master!"

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed non-stop, and each one was louder than the other.

"Is it really a monkey? A monkey can speak human language. Could it be a monster?"

"The master said that all things have spirituality, and speaking is not the exclusive property of us humans. We should not underestimate other creatures."

"But this monkey is really different from the monkeys I've seen. He's more like a man with long hair."

All the disciples in the main hall whispered.

At this time, Gu Tian calmly looked at the kowtowing monkey, but he laughed in his heart. There is a line in the lyrics that fits the occasion. I finally waited for you. Fortunately, I didn't give up!

He didn't hesitate to mention the saint head-on, and he was still waiting here for several years, just to wait for this Lingming stone monkey.

Changing fate starts from the beginning. The Bodhi ancestor obviously didn't teach well. The Lingming stone monkey, one of the majestic four monkeys, has the same combat power as Yang Jian. Of course, it is Yang Jian in the original book, not his disciple Yang Jian.

If you teach him yourself, Monkey King's fate will be rewritten!

Gu Tian raised his eyelids, and asked lightly: "You can come across the sea from thousands of miles away, you have a good heart, what's your name?"

Hearing Gu Tian's words, the monkey stopped kowtowing, raised his head, his eyes were confused, and then scratched his head again, "I jumped out of a rock, without father, mother, or name."

"Please give me a name from the gods!"

Gu Tian smiled in his heart, waited for this sentence, and continued to calmly say on the surface: "Hongmeng has no surname at the beginning, and Wukong is needed to break the obstinacy, so how about calling you Sun Wukong?"

The monkey muttered: "Wukong, Sun Wukong." Then his face became happy, "My grandson has a name, from now on I will be called Sun Wukong!"

"Disciple Monkey King pays homage to master!"

Monkey King continued to kowtow again.

"Get up and sit down."

Gu Tian said.

Hearing this, Monkey King honestly sat down cross-legged like other disciples, but after sitting for a while, he was not used to it, and then changed to squatting. Seeing this, Gu Tian didn't correct it, but continued to preach.

An hour later, the sermon ended and the other disciples withdrew, but Monkey King stayed behind.

"Wukong, what's the matter with you?"

Gu Tian pretended not to know and asked.

"Master, I want to learn fairy art."

Sun Wukong said.

"Is it fairy art?" Gu Tian smiled slightly, "I have supernatural power changes, deduction of heaven and earth, five elements escape method, seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, etc., which one do you want to learn?"

Hearing this, Sun Wukong scratched his head with his hands, and asked seriously, "Master, I want to learn the art of immortality!"

"Simple."

"I still want to learn what you just said."

"Simple."

"I also want to learn the spell to fly freely in the sky."

"no problem."

Monkey King made several requests in a row, but Gu Tian smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Is it all right?" Sun Wukong's eyes widened, the happiness came too suddenly.

Gu Tian is not afraid that Sun Wukong wants to learn too much, but he is afraid that he will not learn!

After all, Sun Wukong was cultivated, but the small goal he set for himself was to let the gods and Buddhas understand what the real Qi. Tian. Great Sage is!

"As long as you can bear the hardship."

Seeing the smile on Gu Tian's face, Sun Wukong became alert all over.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter, four seasons reincarnation.

Sun Wukong began to practice with Gu Tian.

In the first ten years, Gu Tian took Sun Wukong to meditate on the top of the mountain every day, absorbing purple qi in the morning, yang qi at noon, and yin qi at night, the sun and the moon change, and the cycle is endless.

For Gu Tian, ​​these are just basic operations. After all, he started from the creation of the world, but for Monkey King, it is like hell, extremely uncomfortable. Monkeys are flexible and active creatures, but you let them He has been motionless for ten years, which is worse than putting him in a frying pan.

"Master, I want to learn the art of longevity."

"This is the technique of longevity. Haven't you noticed that your body is getting better and better recently?"

"But I have hemorrhoids in my butt."

"Patience, the suffering of the body will make you spiritually sublimated. Immortality is easy for the body, but the most difficult thing is the immortality of the spirit and will."

"Master, can you live forever just by sitting?"

"Of course, let me tell you a story. There was once a Taoist boy who sat with me like this."

"What happened later? Did he also develop hemorrhoids?"

"I don't know if he has hemorrhoids or not, but he has lived for hundreds of millions of years, attained the Jade Emperor's Dao Fruit, and now controls the Three Realms, living the same life as the heaven and the earth."

"Heaven and earth have the same longevity, I want it too!"

After hearing this story, Monkey King didn't complain anymore, but began to meditate seriously.

Expiry of ten years.

Sun Wukong's mind has been tempered, and his innate impetuousness has been effectively controlled.

Gu Tian saw all this in his eyes, and while nodding in his heart, he decided to start teaching Sun Wukong to practice supernatural powers.

In addition to the original 72 transformations of Disha, Gu Tian still taught Tiangang 36 transformations together. The combination of 36 magical powers and 72 transformations is really powerful, right?

This is also the reason why Gu Tian complained that Bodhi Patriarch didn't even think about teaching Sun Wukong well. Could it be that this is the legendary left hand from the master?
But Gu Tian doesn't need to keep a hand.

In addition to these, Gu Tian also simplified his commonly used magical powers such as "Palm World" and "Jiuxiao Shenlei" to Sun Wukong.

And Sun Wukong is worthy of being a spirit stone monkey, and he is simply invincible in terms of understanding. In just a few decades, he has learned things that others have mastered for thousands or even ten thousand years.

Of course, this can't escape Gu Tian's careful guidance, and none of the pills, guidance, and training partner are left behind.

During this process, Gu Tian was also carefully observing Monkey King.

He gradually understood why Zhunti walked so smoothly that day. Monkey King's luck has long been linked to Buddhism, which is cause and effect.

Even if he tied Monkey King around his waist, through some changes, this Monkey King would still have an intersection with the Western religion.

This shows that Journey to the West is inevitable, and Gu Tian is already prepared for this. After all, even Dao Zu Hongjun can only adjust rather than completely change in the face of the general trend of the world, and it is even more difficult for him to stop it.

Another point is that the task given by the system was to change the ending, but he didn't let him just get rid of this Journey to the West. Not to mention that he couldn't complete the task at that time, and he would suffer the backlash of heaven, which was not something he could resist.

After thinking about this point, Gu Tian began to seriously think about how to change Monkey King's ending.

In the original book, Monkey King's final affiliation is to become a Buddhist puppet after fighting against Buddha, so how to change this ending?
Have to think about it.

Time goes on, and life goes on.

some day.

Gu Tian pointed at the sky with one finger, and then a pool of purple thunder appeared in the sky, and then it vented down, instantly razing several mountains to the ground.

Sun Wukong looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes glowed, "Master, please teach me!"

"Here comes the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique, which can be regarded as a master's own creation."

Gu Tian said lightly.

"What do you think of this Leifa?"

The master wanted to test himself, Sun Wukong thought about it carefully, raised his head and replied: "This thunder is like a punishment from heaven, fierce and fearless, and everything is invincible!"

Gu Tian showed admiration in his eyes, nodded and said, "That's exactly what it means."

"The most important thing for a cultivator is the will. If the sky does not allow me, I will break the will!"

"Even if the enemy is ten times or a hundred times stronger than me, I still have to dare to show my sword, and the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road!"

"Life and death are bearish, do not accept it!"

"My teacher has high expectations of you, so don't let me down."

Sun Wukong heard the words, his face was determined, he nodded again and again, and said: "Master, I understand!"

Seeing Sun Wukong's serious face, Gu Tian knew that he had achieved his goal.

To change the fate and the final result, it is not up to Gu Tian alone. In the end, it depends on Sun Wukong himself. If Sun Wukong himself wants to convert to Buddhism, then what is he going to do?
Therefore, the solution given by Gu Tian is to train Monkey King to become the Honghuang version of the flat-headed brother. In fact, Monkey King himself is similar to the flat-headed brother, but he is not strong enough in the original book and has no background.

On this basis, Sun Wukong's nature of Lao Tzu number one in heaven and earth is completely released.

From now on, whenever someone provokes him, he will not beep more, and will pick up his stick and call up.

Rather than forcibly changing Monkey King's fate and making enemies with the entire Dao of Heaven, it is better to let Monkey King face the enemy by himself, and what Gu Tian has to do is to give Monkey King such an environment so that he has a choice.

To put it bluntly, it is to be the golden finger of Monkey King.

Determine a good idea, and everything will proceed step by step.

Many years passed.

There are continuous disciples joining in the ancient temple, and there are also disciples who fail to become immortals and die of old age.

This is also a very normal thing. After all, the lifespan of the human race is too short, and the aptitude for cultivating Taoism is also uneven. If you can't become a fairy, a mere hundred years is a lifetime.

Gu Tian could have directly turned these disciples into immortals, and it’s okay to turn one of them occasionally, but if it is done in large quantities, it will disturb the balance of the three realms, and even Hongjun will come to him at that time, so the only thing Gu Tian can do The most important thing is to say hello to the underworld, so that these disciples can have a good afterlife.

Not all disciples practiced in the ancient temple until their death. After reaching a certain level, many disciples felt hopeless to become immortals, so they took the initiative to travel down the mountain. Some of them learned some skills from the ancient temple and walked in the secular world. , Live a very nourishing life, some settle in a city to marry a wife and have children, enjoy a lifetime, some are able to travel the world, and the reputation of the ancient temple spreads all over the world.

Of course, there are still qualified disciples. After obtaining some complete inheritance and Gu Tian's approval, they go down the mountain to practice and practice, slay demons and eliminate demons, accumulate merit, and finally achieve Taoism and ascend, leaving behind many legends.

For these, Gu Tian didn't dare too much, and he had the idea that his children and grandchildren should have their own blessings.

As more and more disciples leave the ancient temple, more and more disciples return to the ancient temple every year. They learn the Tao in the ancient temple. This is the starting point for them to embark on the road. He worshiped Gu Tian even more, and respected heaven and earth even more.

These disciples who returned from abroad would often come back with many puzzled questions, and Gu Tian would help them answer them one by one, making these disciples suddenly enlightened and suddenly enlightened.

On this day, Gu Tian had just finished explaining to a disciple, and the disciple looked excited and shouted excitedly: "I have enlightened."

Then it triggers Lei Jie, this is the rhythm of becoming a fairy!

"Thank you master for clarifying the confusion, the disciple will never forget it."

After the disciple finished speaking, he was ready to go through the thunder tribulation and become an immortal.

But when he raised his head, his expression changed, and he said in great horror: "It's over, it's over, why did you meet the most terrifying Zixiao Shenlei!"

He closed his eyes in despair, even a real immortal couldn't bear this level of thunder calamity, let alone a mortal.
