Chapter 31: First Meeting
When the stone monkey came to the mountainside, a tall stone gate appeared in front of him. The stone gate of the pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info has a height of two zhang, and there is a large stone tablet with a height of three zhang and a width of three zhang on the cliff next to it, which is engraved with ten big characters of "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Sanxing Cave of the Oblique Moon".
At the moment when he saw those ten words, because the tempering of the past ten years had enabled the stone monkey to lose all his joy and anger, although he was vaguely excited in his heart, his face did not show the slightest meaning of joy and excitement, but there was endless sourness welling up in his heart for a long time.
For the stone monkey, it seems like something that will happen sooner or later, but it will arrive ten years later. At this moment, time does not seem to be so important, and all the search and waiting have finally brought such a result that is just the beginning.
The stone monkey stepped forward and was about to knock on the huge stone door at this moment, the door was suddenly opened with a bang, and a little Taoist boy dressed in a dark blue Taoist robe and holding the floating dust flashed out head-on, his immature appearance and the spiritual power brought by bathing in the mountains for many years made him look like he had an extraordinary immortal aura beyond his age, as if he was born from the heavenly realm from the mortal dust.
The aura emanating from his body instantly moved the stone monkey, and he was able to know that a true cultivator could have such a detached temperament even if he was a child, and thus he began to have a deeper yearning and longing for cultivation.
The stone monkey stepped forward and said respectfully: "Little brother, little brother came here to meet Patriarch Su Bodhi this time, and I am sorry to introduce you on my behalf, thank you!" ”
Glancing at the stone monkey coldly, Xiao Daotong's face showed an unhappy expression, and said, "Who is your senior brother, I am a woman." ”
As soon as this remark came out, the stone monkey suddenly felt that his faith had collapsed, and he couldn't help but feel guilty because he had not been able to distinguish between men and women after years of social experience, so he had to look at him a few more times in order to be sure whether he had really looked away.
The little girl said sharply, "What do you see?" Master just said that someone came to call me to open the door, come in with me! ”
The stone monkey would never have thought that he would be able to enter the three-star cave so easily, he was ready to go through some tribulations in his heart, and at this moment he followed the little girl in the blue robe like a fool and walked into the three-star cave.
What surprised the stone monkey even more was that the moment he stepped into the cave door, the stone door was quietly closed, and he didn't see the little girl touch any mechanism during the whole process, he couldn't help but say "What's the matter......
"If you are told to leave, you will leave, and you will be in charge?" The little girl doesn't seem to have a crush on monkeys.
"Oh......," the stone monkey said smirkedly.
This three-star cave is by no means a traditional sense like the water curtain cave in the general cave, before they step into the stone gate, across the two of them is a cliff with a width of more than ten zhang, with an iron chain cast of the suspension bridge and the front of the mountain peak, the whole environment is surrounded by fairy clouds, the fog rises up, sometimes the white crane flies, the stone monkey sees that there are several temples scattered in front of it, as if hanging in the air.
The little girl led the stone monkey across the drawbridge, through several pavilions and buildings where there were faint monks in white robes and turbans, and came to a very magnificent temple, where the little girl pushed the door and entered, and the stone monkey saw a wide space, in which several white-robed monks were sitting scattered, and they were surrounding an old man.
The old man in the middle had his eyes slightly closed, his expression was serene, he sat cross-legged on the ground, and his white beard was scattered above his knees, and the solemn white beard would be daunting at first sight, and the stone monkey had never seen such a fairy wind and bone before, and his heart was pounding.
The little girl didn't salute, but ran straight forward, walked up to the old man and sat down, and said, "Master, the person you are looking for has already been brought, it turns out to be a stupid monkey...... Her voice seemed to become gentle, and after speaking, she gave the old man a beating on the back, sometimes fiddling with his long beard.
There were about seven people present, although they all had long beards and deep wrinkles, they still looked much younger than the old man in the middle, and they didn't have that kind of fairy wind bones, they should be his apprentices. Now everyone's eyes were focused on the stone monkey, and the old man in the middle opened his eyes and said, "You're here?" ”
This person is none other than Patriarch Subodhi.
Everything seems to be reunited after a long absence, and history has not changed after all.
"The disciple came from the Huaguo Mountain on the edge of the East China Sea and crossed the sea, and it took ten years," the stone monkey knelt on the ground and said, "Please accept me as an apprentice to teach immortal arts. He didn't know how to place himself at the moment, the image of Su Bodhi was ten times more vivid than the image he imagined, and it was a hundred times more heroic than the gods he had worshiped in the temple before, and in order to express his sincerity in seeking immortals, it seemed that he could only kneel down and speak.
"Get up and speak." The heavy old voice came out, and the stone monkey didn't react for a while, and the girl next to Su Bodhi stopped the movements of her hand and shouted: "The master told you to get up and speak, didn't you hear?" ”
When the stone monkey heard this, he could only get up and stand at a loss.
"Sit!"
"The master told you to sit down." Yes, it was the little girl's voice.
The stone monkeys had to learn how to sit on the ground.
"Clever, the visitor is a guest, let's see tea!" Su Bodhi said to the girl next to him, the girl said "oh" and went down, and soon took a cup of tea and handed it to the stone monkey, who was hungry and thirsty at the moment, and drank all the tea in the cup, and when he was worried about not knowing how to place the cup, Su Bodhi spoke.
"Put it on the ground...... The people of the mountains and wilderness are unrestrained, and I hope to forgive you for not taking care of them. ”
The stone monkey placed the cup on the ground and looked at Subodhi.
"What kind of immortal arts do you want to learn from me?"
The stone monkey was stunned for a while, the dialogue in his imagination was not like this at all, didn't he ask me who my surname was first, wouldn't he name me Sun Wukong and go directly to the topic, this is too ridiculous, the stone monkey was stunned in place for a while, and the clever little girl shouted: "Shizun asked you what you wanted, and asked you what immortal arts you want to learn when you came here." She seems to have a natural rejection of stone monkeys, but she doesn't know why.
"Spreading clouds...... Forehead...... Seventy-two changes, the incorruptible body of King Kong, the art of immortality...... Or anything else, you can leave it to me! The stone monkey muttered, as if in a monologue.
"Hahaha......" The white-robed monks present all laughed, as if the stone monkey was talking about a dream.
"What's your name?" Su Bodhi stroked his beard and smiled, as if he had heard a monkey tell a joke.
"I don't have a name!"
"No name?" Subodhi showed a look of disbelief, "Then from now on you will be called ......" Subodhi took the little hand of the girl next to him, patted the girl's head, and fell into deep thought.
"Sun ----- Wu ----- empty," the stone monkey whispered tentatively.
"Yes. You will be called Monkey King from now on. Su Bodhi withdrew the hand holding the girl, stroked his beard, and said, "You will be called Monkey King from now on." ”
He also said: "The rules of this door, as long as you come to the mountains, you can enter my door, in order of age, there is no difference between high and low, and now you are the tenth round of disciples in my door." After speaking, he said to the people beside him: "Apprentices, let's go down for the time being, I have something to talk to Wukong alone." ”
After saying that, everyone got up, and many people looked back at Wukong, smiled and shook their heads.
Su Bodhi saw that the little girl was unmoved, so he said, "Clever." Go down too! ”
"Oh!" The little girl reluctantly stood up, and when she walked to the stone monkey, she did not forget to clasp her eyelids with her hands and stick out her tongue to make a grimace at him.
This girl is about ten years old, but at that moment she doesn't feel annoying, and it seems to be even cuter.
