The Monkey King set out from Huaguo Mountain, he crossed the ocean and went through hardships, and finally came to Xiniuhezhou. Although he heard that the Bodhi Ancestor was in the three-star cave of the slanting moon, the Monkey King was on a mountain that had to be passed, and a cliff blocked his way.

The Monkey King slept on the cliff and waited hard. He watched the trees in the mountains wither, the flowers blooming, and he spent ten long years there.

Suddenly, on a spring breeze morning, a handsome face, wearing a robe, and an extraordinary bearing appeared on the edge of the cliff.

The boy looked the monkey up and down, and then said, "Monkey, you must be the person the master speaks of, please come with me." ”

As he spoke, he turned and strode down the cliff, and then he stepped into the void. The Monkey King saw that Dao Tong standing alone in the air, he was already frightened, how dare he take another step.

Seeing the Monkey King's cowering, Dao Tong snorted and laughed: "You stupid monkey, there are steps of my master's illusion on the edge of this cliff, but mortals can't see it." You don't have to be afraid, just come with me. ”

After hearing this, the monkey quietly approached Daotong, he reached out and grabbed the placket of Daotong's clothes, and followed closely behind Daotong. Then, with apprehension, the Monkey King dared to walk down the cliff with half-belief and trembling.

The monkey only took two steps, and his intuition turned dizzy. He involuntarily closed his eyes, grabbed the corner of Dao Tong's clothes even more, and then slowly walked down again.

The Monkey King took very small steps, cautiously step by step, he only walked a few steps, and suddenly felt a sense of solidity under his feet. So I became bold and laughed and made a fuss as I walked.

When Dao Tong saw the monkey like this, he felt funny in his heart, so he bluffed him and said, "Spirit monkey, don't make a fool of yourself, beware of the wind blowing you down the valley, you may fall into a meat pie." ”

As soon as the monkey heard this, cold sweat came out, and he didn't dare to do it again, so he restrained his behavior in a proper manner, clinging to the Taoist boy's side, and walked down cautiously.

Dao Tong saw the monkey king's startled appearance, he couldn't help laughing and said: "You monkey head, you are really naughty, it seems that you still need to be trained by my master." ”

It took a long time for the monkey to see a large cave in the depths of the canyon. The cave was dark and eerie, like the open mouth of a monster with its fangs, and it must have been very terrifying inside.

When the Monkey King saw that Dao Tong walked in without fear, he followed in fear. They didn't see their fingers until they stopped.

I saw him shouting into the cave, "Master, I brought that monkey, open the door." ”

As the sound fell, a gentle light spread through the dark hole. The Monkey King looked around, but saw that there was no such thing as a lamp or a torch in the cave. When he looked again, he was out of the cave, and there was no one guarding the entrance of the cave.

The Monkey King obviously heard the boy calling for Shizun, but he didn't see the shadow of Shizun, and at this time they were already on the other side of the mountain. The Monkey King looked ahead again, and there was a vast forest sea, and through the forest sea, they came to a cave, and in front of the cave was a spacious field like a courtyard.

What immediately greeted the Monkey King's eyes was a spacious, bright and huge courtyard. In the courtyard, there were many people wearing Taoist robes and holding weapons in their hands, and they stood in a few rows in a neat row, humming and practicing martial arts. The four fields behind them are a natural picture of mountains and rivers connected.

At this time, I saw the thousand-year-old cypress around the cave, the 10,000-year-old clouds, and a different scenery. I saw that: shaking the light and smoke reflecting the sun and the moon, Jin Dai Qionghua falling Yao Xiang, the phoenix singing crane and the fairy ape roaring, and the blessing treasure Dirui color collection.

Such a beautiful scenery, the monkey king liked it so much, he put aside the path of the fairy and came to the fairy cave. But he saw that the door of the cave was closed, and when he looked up, he saw that there was a big stone tablet three feet high and eight feet wide on the top of the fairy cave, and ten big characters were clearly engraved on the stone tablet.

The Monkey King was illiterate, so he asked the boy what was written on it. Dao Tong said: "What is written on this is 'Lingtai Fangcun Mountain' and 'Leaning Moon Three-Star Cave'"

When the Monkey King heard this, he clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Oh! Finally found it, this is it, this is it! Old Immortals! I'm coming! Where are you? ”

The boy smiled and said, "My master is preaching on the altar, you can come with me." ”

As soon as he heard this, the Monkey King hurriedly tidied up his clothes and followed the fairy child to the cave. I saw the depths of the cave, the fairy pavilion Qiongyu, Zhu Lou Yaoque, and the quiet realm. When they came to the Yaotai, there were already more than 30 little fairy children standing under the stage, but they saw that the Bodhi Ancestor was preaching and preaching on the stage.

After not seeing this old fairy for many years, the monkey king became excited again, he bowed forward, kowtowed and bowed: "Old fairy, I have been looking for you so hard, please accept me." ”

The old fairy said: "Monkey King, you get up first." An impetuous character like yours is rare to have such an enterprising heart. I didn't expect you to be able to endure ten years of hard work, which is really good. In this way, even if you have passed the first level, I Bodhi will accept you as a disciple today.

The Monkey King said, "Old Immortal, how do you know that I have suffered for ten years? You didn't see it for yourself. ”

The old fairy said: "Monkey King, I am an old fairy, I naturally know about you." Now I'll give you a name. In my opinion, the monkey was originally a monkey, so you should take 'Sun' as your surname.

You are here to learn from me, so I must teach you the truth of the Great Dao of Enlightenment, so that you can take another word for 'enlightenment'. In fact, the word 'enlightenment' also comes from generations, and the fairy children here are named in the order of twelve characters. These twelve characters are Guang, Da, Zhi, Hui, True, Ru, Sex, Hai, Ying, Wu, Yuan, Jue, and your generation is exactly ranked on the word 'Wu'.

As for you, you have no father or mother, and you all came out of thin air, which is in line with the principle that everything is empty. In this way, I will give you another word 'empty', so it seems that your name will be 'Monkey King'.

Wukong, from now on, since we have become masters and apprentices, you must respect me as a teacher, and you must not do something unreasonable. Because I will always monitor your actions and hope that you will achieve positive results as soon as possible. ”

Wukong was very excited when he saw that Shizun had given him a name and that he had accepted him as an apprentice.

He hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you for the teachings of the master, Wukong will definitely obey his orders." However, in addition to learning some spells to protect our monkey grandchildren on the mountain, I also want to learn some ways of immortality, can you teach me? ”

Old Ancestor said: "As long as you want to learn, I will teach you." ”

Wukong worshipped the ancestor of Bodhi as his teacher, and the ancestor still preached on stage every day, and he asked Wukong to learn language etiquette with all the senior brothers, burn incense and learn words, understand human nature, comprehend nature and other things.

In addition, when Wukong is free, he is also responsible for sweeping the courtyard, hoeing the land and repairing the garden, raising flowers and grass, carrying water and chopping firewood. It's okay for Wukong to do some work, he mainly likes to listen to his master's sermons. Every time the master talks about the wonders, Wukong will be excited, and he will dance excitedly.

It's been seven or eight years since Wukong came to the cave. On this day, the ancestor asked him: "Wukong, you have been here for some time, what do you want to learn, I will teach you." ”

Wukong said: "I don't know what are the ways of the world?" Can the disciple decide what to learn? ”

The ancestor said: "There are thirty-six side doors in this word door, I will first teach you a 'technique' door way, it has the principle of driving away evil and warding off evil spirits, do you want to learn?" ”

Wukong said: "Can the way of the art be immortal?" ”

"Can't!"

"Then don't learn!"

The ancestor said: "There are Taoist doctors and Buddhas in the door of the word 'flow', as well as the saints of the truth, do you want to learn?" ”

Wukong said: "Can the way of the flow gate be immortal?" ”

"Can't!"

"Then don't learn!"

The ancestor said again: "The way of the 'quiet' door, you can rest and eat and open the valley, clear the meditation, meditate, fast, and sit down, do you want to learn?" ”

Wukong said: "Can the way of Jingmen be immortal?" ”

"Can't!"

"Then don't learn!"

The ancestor said again: "There is also a way to 'move' the door, which is also ......"

Wukong was a little impatient, and he said, "Can the way of moving the door be immortal?" ”

"Can't!"

"Then don't learn!"

Hearing this, Bodhi Ancestor was so angry that he jumped down from the pulpit. He said: "Okay, you are a monkey, you don't learn this, you don't learn that, what do you want to do?" ”

After the ancestor said this, he knocked three times on Wukong's head with the ring ruler. He angrily threw his hands behind his back, left all his disciples, closed the middle door, and walked towards the cave.

The fairy children complained that Wukong angered the master and walked away, and they dispersed. Wukong had already planned in his heart, he had already understood the hint of his master, so he kept silent and retreated to his residence.

At the time of the third watch, Wukong quietly came to Shizun's dormitory through the back door, but saw that Shizun was still asleep. Wukong knelt in front of the couch and waited for the master to wake up. As soon as he knelt down, the master turned over and sat up.

The master said: "You, why don't you go to sleep in the middle of the night?" ”

Wukong said: "The disciple comprehended the secret meaning, and he asked the teacher for respect late at night." ”

Since then, Sun Wukong has really worshiped under the Bodhi Gate, and he has worked hard to follow his master to enlightenment. After two or three years, Shizun taught him some martial arts. Wukong is talented, intelligent, agile, and was born to be a good material for martial arts, and with his efforts, he quickly learned the eighteen kinds of martial arts.

There are not a few disciples under Bodhi, but only Wukong and Gu Huigen. Whether it is swords, guns, swords, halberds, or fists and feet, he can learn kung fu as soon as he learns, and his skills are also getting better, and his grappling skills are also mastered.

His every move is handy, you see Wukong spreading his wings like a roc for a while, and a tiger descending the mountain for a while, and even the senior brothers who entered the division early are stunned to watch.

Because of such martial arts, Shizun knew that their comprehension was not high, so he didn't really teach them. So they came early and were not Wukong's opponents, and they were willing to bow down in all aspects, ashamed of themselves.

After a few more years, the Bodhi Ancestor summoned Wukong to his side and asked: "Wukong, I have taught you a lot of what I have learned, and there are still seventy-two kinds of transformation techniques to teach you, but it is very difficult, not easy to learn, are you interested in learning?" ”

Wukong was begging for it, and he was overjoyed: "Master, the disciple is willing to learn everything, please teach me." ”

So, after another three years, Bodhi Ancestor specially came to guide Wukong's various transformation techniques, and taught Wukong seventy-two changes.

On this day, it was time to test Goku. In the empty training ground, Bodhi Ancestor was smiling, and his disciples also gathered around Ancestor, and they came together to watch Wukong's transformation performance.

Wukong was very happy today, only to see him turn into a big bear and swoop in front of him for a while, turn into a butterfly for a while, turn into a bird flying in the air for a while, turn into a big tree and stay motionless there, turn into a personable white-faced little student for a while, and turn into a little doll for a while.

Wukong's performance was so wonderful that the brothers and sisters were stunned, and their eyes were stunned. One by one, they stretched their necks in envy, and they all stared straight at Goku changing back and forth, and they were all very jealous.

After that, Bodhi Ancestor spent another three years teaching Wukong to somersault clouds. Although this somersault cloud is difficult to learn, Wukong will learn it in a few days. Wukong was already active, and he learned somersaults this time, which is really like a fish in water, and a somersault is 108,000 miles.

Every day, he chicly somersaulted, flying around in the sky on the colorful clouds, not to mention how happy he was to look at his proud appearance. Since Wukong learned to turn somersault clouds, he often took advantage of the convenience to go to Huaguo Mountain to take a look from afar.

Bodhi Ancestor also knew that Wukong's martial arts had been learned, and it was time for him to go down the mountain. But after getting along with Wukong for a long time, it is difficult for the ancestor to let go of the relationship between master and apprentice. As a last resort, Bodhi Ancestor could only drive Wukong down the mountain on the grounds that he had gone down the mountain without permission and violated the rules of the mountain.

Wukong knew that his master was good to him, and he couldn't forget his master's kindness, how could he leave his master like this, so he begged to stay on the mountain. Shizun was also very conflicted, and he couldn't bear to push away this affectionate disciple.

But the world is so big that you can't always keep your disciples around. In the end, Bodhi Ancestor was still ruthless and drove Wukong down the mountain.
