Chapter Twenty-Six: The Woodcutter
After a few days of wandering on the sea, they finally saw the shore, and what caught their eyes was a high emerald green mountain, the dense forest on the mountain was secluded and verdant, they climbed to the top of the mountain, on this side of the mountain, a thousand peaks lined up with halberds, and ten thousand people opened the screen.
The sunlight shining into the trees after the rain makes it look lush, and the deep cold and cold contains traces of vibrant animals.
In the distance, a cloud-filled peak could be seen, and on its sideside a withered vine could be seen wrapped around a towering tree, and beside the tree was a stone path that ran higher and deeper down the peak.
Both the rabbit and the monkey know that they have found the right place.
There was some reluctance in her heart, and she also knew that separation was just around the corner, and it was impossible for Patriarch Bodhi to accept her.
Besides, if Patriarch Bodhi accepted her, then her master would not be happy. (Taishang Laojun: You try?(βΌγβΌ#))
When I see Brother Monkey apprenticeship, I'll go back.
Secretly made a decision, planning to accompany Brother Monkey for another while.
The monkey hugged Tutu excitedly, "Hey, Tutu, you said that is not where the immortals live!
"Well, Brother Monkey, you will definitely be able to apprentice smoothly!"
The monkey scratched his head anxiously, scratched his body again, and asked anxiously: "Those students who used to apprentice in the human world had to pay six rites to tie their heads!
"Hahaha, don't worry!Their six rites are for fame and fortune, Brother Monkey, what you are asking for is immortality, and the immortals will not accept these~" Tutu covered his mouth and smiled secretly, Brother Monkey now looks like a candidate taking an exam, but he found that he forgot to memorize the key points~
At this moment, there was a loud singing sound from the side of the mountain, and the monkey and the rabbit looked at each other, and hurried into the woods to look for it.
What appeared before them was a woodcutter who was chopping wood with his axe and singing: 'Watching chess...... If you are not immortal, you are the way, and you can sit quietly and talk about the Yellow Court. β
This is exactly the song he often hums when the monkey and the monkey trickster stay together!
The monkey was full of joy and knelt down in front of the woodcutter, "Immortal, immortal, I have found you!"
The woodcutter was so frightened that he threw away his axe, "No, no, no! I'm a ragtered woodcutter, how can I afford to be an immortal!"
"But I obviously heard you sing, 'Where you meet, if you are not an immortal, you will be a Tao, sit quietly and talk about the Yellow Garden'! In the past, the immortals used to hum this song in front of me!" the monkey scratched his head in confusion.
Tutu naturally knew that this woodcutter was not the Bodhi Patriarch, but she couldn't interfere too much with Brother Monkey's tempering. Isn't the Bodhi Patriarch who turned into a monkey man and kept Brother Monkey by his side for several years, just to sharpen Brother Monkey's character and teach him to behave in the world?
"I was taught to me by an old fairy, and the place where the old fairy lived was close to my home, and when he saw me working hard for my family affairs and my daily troubles, teach me this little song, and sing more on weekdays, and my mood will be much smoother!" the woodcutter explained with a smile.
"You live so close to the immortals, why don't you go and cultivate immortals? Isn't it good to live forever?" The monkey didn't understand, he had traveled in the mortal world for the past few years, and everyone in the world was a person for fame and profit, and there was no one who was a person for life. (People who pursue pure dreams.) οΌ
"Although immortality is good, there are also things in the world that cannot be separated. My mother lost her husband at an early age, and I had no other siblings, so my mother raised me with great difficulty. Now let me abandon my mother and become a happy immortal, I can't do it. Not to mention others, even I will spit on myself. The woodcutter waved his hand, although he was a mortal and his life was poor, but it was better to live freely. Don't care about fame and fortune, just seek family harmony and well-being.
