Leaving the golden cicada, the stone monkey began his arduous journey alone in Xiniu Hezhou, in which the pain and suffering can not be described in a word, and finding "Su Bodhi" has become the most important belief that makes him persevere. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 At the same time, for a promise, for twenty years to return to Huaguo Mountain, for Di'er to regain immortal arts, for the hardships he suffered before to be rewarded, in order to live a dignified life in this world - he must persevere.

In the first year of Xiniu Hezhou, the stone monkey got lost in a large desert, endured for nine days and nine nights, and finally escaped from the desert with the help of a passing camel caravan;

In the second year of his reign in Xiniu Hezhou, the stone monkey was chased by hunters in a jungle, and in order to escape from it, he fell from a large tree and broke his arm, which was later reconnected by a hermit doctor in the deep mountains.

In the fifth year, he was mixed in a boat pulling cattle to cross a large river, and then the boat capsized and nearly drowned; In the seventh year, he was caught by a butcher who was about to take his monkey brain, and by chance, he took advantage of the butcher's negligence to find the key to open the cage, and while the butcher was napping, he chopped off the butcher's head with an axe.

It was the first time that the stone monkey killed someone in this world, and afterwards he was hunted down by the whole village and hid for three years.

This is the tenth year that he has been in Xiniu Hezhou. In the past ten years, the hardships he has experienced have made him strong enough to face everything in the future, and he has strong enough strength to survive.

Of course, there is not a single news of Bodhi Patriarch. He falls asleep every day in the dream of missing Huaguo Mountain and Di'er, wakes up in the morning of sincere fear every day, and faces different people every day, and has different encounters every day.

He even misses Jin Chanzi a little, and if he was there, it seems that these tribulations would not happen at all.

However, this is no longer necessary. The stone monkey has a strong mind supporting him, that is, the Bodhi Patriarch is waiting for him, and he really exists, and there is no such strong premonition as there is that kind of premonition.

So he's going to have to look for it. He was convinced that he could find it, just as he had found the Water Curtain Cave.

Now he is on the border of the Sihari country in the southern part of Xiniuhe Continent, and he has crossed almost all the mountains of the Sihari country, and is preparing to enter the last deep mountain.

Walking up a stone staircase, a song suddenly came out of the jungle. Over the years in the world, he has a certain understanding of the songs in this world, and can even hear the good and the bad. The song is crisp and powerful, vigorous and soft, just like the voice of an old man.

The singing voice sang:

"Watching chess is rotten, logging Ding Ding, and the clouds are in the valley. Selling salaries and drinking, laughing wildly and cultivating himself. The path is high in autumn, and the pine roots of the moon pillow are bright in the sky. Recognize the old forest, climb the cliff and cross the ridge, and break the withered vine with an axe. Harvest into a load, in the song market, easy rice three liters. There is no competition, and the price is mediocre. will not be cunning, no honor and disgrace, and will prolong life calmly. Everywhere they meet, they are not immortals, they are Taoists, and they sit quietly and talk about "Yellow Court". ”

The song is tactful, and the stone monkey can hear it amazingly. He was suddenly overjoyed, because this situation was exactly what was recorded in Journey to the West. The song was exactly the same.

He walked up the stone steps and followed the song, and in a short time he saw a woodcutter with a hat on his head, a cloth coat on his body, and straw sandals under his feet, where he was chopping wood with an axe.

The stone monkey walked up to the woodcutter and asked, "Old man, who is the professor of the song you sang just now?" ”

When the woodcutter saw the stone monkey, he was not surprised, stopped what he was doing, and said, "No one taught me, but I know how to do it myself." ”

The stone monkey was disappointed, wasn't this what Su Bodhi taught him? After saying this, the old man's expression was not as calm as just now, and he was still a little frightened.

The stone monkey said: "Can the old man know how to go to the three-star cave of Lingtai Fangcun Mountain?" ”

The old man dodged, "I don't know, there is no such place in the world. ”

The stone monkey stepped forward and had to ask what was going on. For he found that this man must have known, and he was unwilling to say something unspeakable.

The stone monkey continued: "Is the person who taught you the song an old immortal named Su Bodhi Patriarch, and he handed it over to you, but he didn't let you tell his name to outsiders, so you didn't want to reveal it, you only said yes or no. ”

The old man turned to look at the stone monkey and said, "You monkey is really difficult, I didn't say anything." ”

"Oh?"

"I can't hide it, it was indeed the god who taught me, he saw that I was tired from family work, so he passed on the song and music to me, so that when I encountered troubles, I would be able to recite it, and I would be able to relieve my worries and dispel difficulties, if you want to practice from him, it is best not to go."

"Oh? Why? The stone monkey wondered. It is clear that Patriarch Subodhi is already close at hand. How could the stone monkey just give up.

"There are countless apprentices of that old immortal, and there are still thirty or forty people who have practiced from him. It's just that after you go out, you can't say that you are his apprentice, otherwise he will take back your skills and extract your soul. I have told you so much now, and what a wicked thing it is. Hurry up, hurry away. ”

After the woodcutter said this, he packed up his axe, and was not ready to chop wood, and was about to leave, when the stone monkey grabbed his arm and said, "The old man has done good deeds to the end, how to go there?" ”

"Don't pester me, I don't know." The old woodcutter struggled, but he could not break free from the stone monkey's hand.

"Either way, no matter what. The old man also lived to nine out of eighty today, and he was not afraid that the patriarch of Su Bodhi would come to take my life, and he crossed this mountain, and then walked more than seven or eight miles away, which was his three-star cave mansion with a slanting moon, and when he saw the patriarch, he could not say that it was my guidance, otherwise my life would be at rest. Hurry up, hurry away. ”

The stone monkey bowed and thanked him. When he looked up, the old woodcutter was gone.

The stone monkey thought to himself, the old woodcutter was afraid of being like this, and Su Bodhi was afraid that he was definitely not a good kind. Linked to what Jin Chanzi said, this old guy who is at least 6,000 times 129,600 years old may really be the Bodhi Taoist back then, he is indeed not dead, but he doesn't want the world to know about his existence.

Maybe he might not have killed the old man and his apprentice because of this, but it would definitely have a good deterrent effect, making him even more hidden from the world.

Hard work pays off. The stone monkey almost burst into tears in his heart. It seems that the suffering of more than ten years is now coming to an end. As long as you learn the spell yourself, then everything is not a problem.

He climbed over the mountain almost as fast as he could, walked through the desert for seven or eight miles, and finally saw the other mountain that the old woodcutter had mentioned, which stretched for more than ten miles, and the stone monkey hurriedly climbed up the mountain, and finally saw the cave.

In fact, his ordeal had only just begun.
