Chapter 6: The Disciple of the Mountain [3/3]
Immortals?
What is Immortal?
Three years ago, Bai Wuchang told the stone monkey that those who can live to be 3,000 years old can be immortals.
But who can live to be 3,000 years old?
In three years, the stone monkeys have traveled to every corner of the island where Huaguo Mountain is located.
Asked all the creatures on the island who could communicate.
In the end, the answer made it feel confused.
Stone.
Stones can live for 3,000 years.
It's like it's spent an unknown number of years in the years it was never born.
But the stone can't be his master!
In addition, a lark on Huaguo Mountain told him that the ancient trees on the mountain can live for thousands of years.
But when the stone monkey finally found an ancient tree that gave birth to spiritual wisdom.
The other party told the stone monkey that he was not yet 100 years old.....
Count the year on the day of the birthday!
This is a common convention on the Middle-earth Divine Boat!
After some communication between the donkey's lips and the horse's mouth.
The stone monkey understood.
A tree cannot become its master.
It's not just because the other party is 'not old enough', but also because the other party doesn't know how to live forever.
So much so, after hearing the question of the stone monkey, the other party also said to the stone monkey.
If the stone monkey finds an immortal who can become an immortal and learns the skill, remember to come back and teach it......
It took a year for the stone monkey to become one of the leaders of the monkey group on Huaguo Mountain.
It took another year to take the monkeys all over the island.
After searching for it in vain, it took him three months to figure out a truth.
On this Huaguo Mountain, no one can teach it the method of cultivating immortals!
During this time, it also saw several deaths of monkeys in the pack.
and its friends, hand in hand, to give the dead monkey a vigil to the end.
However, during this time, it never saw the white impermanence again.
When the monkeys died, they seemed to be dead.
After the soul flies out, it dissipates directly into mid-air.
The stone monkey doesn't want to die!
I don't want to dissipate in mid-air like the monkey who 'died in vain' before!
They're not even as good as the old white monkeys!
The old white monkey is dead, at least the white monster can take it away!
With such a mentality, the stone monkey strengthened the idea of going to sea to find immortals.
Based on the experience accumulated over the past few years.
The stone monkey asked the monkeys to help him build a bamboo raft and prepare a lot of water and food on it.
There are jerky, fruits, and of course there are peaches, which are its favorites.
But these preparations, on the first day of its voyage, vanished into nothing.
The bamboo raft didn't float far before it was blown away by a wave....
The stone monkey was swept back by the waves.
The sea failed.
The stone monkey did not give up.
Having learned from the experience of the first failure, its bamboo raft was made stronger.
After.
Second.
The third time.
Fail, learn from experience.
If you fail, keep trying!
Until now, for the tenth time.
After hardships, drifting across the ocean.
Compared with its current experience, it seems that 108,000 miles away, not too far away?
The sturdier rafts are made of giant logs more than 20 meters high.
A sturdier 'granary' ensures that the stone monkeys do not starve to death at sea.
A more reasonable structure, more experienced going to sea.
This time, it's across the ocean.
Stayed at sea for more than three months.
A large amount of jerky stored on the raft had spoiled the food, and the fruit and so on went bad in the first month of going to sea.
Only the fresh water resources on the raft have kept it alive until now.
As for eating?
Fortunately, the stone monkey's tail is very strong, and its 'boat' is also very strong.
The tail can withstand the bite of the 'big fish'.
The boat will not be wrecked by the 'big fish'.
In this way, the stone monkey, which eats raw fish all the way, seems to pass through a layer of mist that gives it an inexplicable feeling on a stormy night.
I came to this strange and unfamiliar sea in front of me.
Float.
Hang on.
The reason why I didn't go crazy in the loneliness of a monkey was because the stone monkey firmly believed that it would definitely find the gods!
It's going to learn spells!
It's looking for a master!
It's going to.... Eternal life!!!
The years at sea, the stone monkey has not known how long it has been.
During this period, I also saw some strange landscapes that I don't know if they were true or not, appearing at the end of the sea.
Every time, the stone monkeys rushed forward in high spirits.
But as a result, it was a tragedy.
You can see it, but you can never touch it.
This made the stone monkeys feel that it was their own appearance that 'scared them away'.
Very naΓ―ve.
It's sad.
With the experience of the previous times, this time when the immortal was discovered, the stone monkey who was excited in his heart did not act rashly.
There was no crazy roaring either.
It learned to be 'smart', just quietly rowing the raft and heading towards the place where the 'fairy' was.
It's a fairy, right?
Able to stand on water without sinking.
I can make a fire with my hands and bake a thing on the sea.
It can fly so high that it doesn't fall for half a day.
As the two sides got closer and closer, the stone monkey was ecstatic in his heart!
It really met the gods this time!
I'm going to have to be better later.
Don't ask the stupid question of whether you can live for 3,000 years now, you have to let the other party give you the way to live first.
But what can I exchange for myself?
Or..... Do they need a female monkey?
Subconsciously, such a thought appeared in the heart of the stone monkey.
Two years later, the stone monkey is no longer the stupid monkey who was so pure that he was taken to the stone by other monkeys.
It's a smart monkey!
It is an inspirational monkey who wants to be the king of monkeys!
Then, it began to tangle.
The gods are so powerful, there must be a lot of female monkeys, right?
So how many female monkeys should it find for the gods?
The stone monkey's entanglement will probably never have an answer.
Because when it's closer.
It suddenly heard a sudden call from the red fairy in the distance.
"Husband! There's a ship over there! β
Boat?
The stone monkey looked at Zixuan as if she was pointing at herself, and she waved at Zixuan very happily.
Immortals, don't you seem to be so difficult to deal with?
Maybe when we talk about the female monkey later, the other party can ask for less........
Just when the stone monkey looked into the distance.
Suddenly, it saw the 'gods' in the distance disappear.
"Oh! Oooh! Oooh oh!! β
The stone monkey who noticed this point screamed wildly.
Why did the gods disappear again?
It's obviously communicating with each other!
The feeling of falling from heaven to hell made the stone monkey unable to suppress the anger in his heart any longer, and roared at the sea in front of him.
And then.....
"Husband, what is this monkey doing?"
Less than a zhang behind the stone monkey, Zi Xuan, who was 'glued' by Lan Li with a black and white vision, stared at the crazy monkey in front of him with more interest.
"Uh, who knows?"
While speaking, Lan Li looked at the monkey in front of him, and he was also a little confused.
In other words, are the monkeys now smart enough to build ships and go to sea?
Or is it ..... This is the legendary one?
"Huh? Husband, you see, this monkey has discovered us....
Ay? What is it doing with rotten wood for us?
Do you want us to row for it? β
While speaking, Zixuan also smiled and took the wood from the stone monkey's hand, and made a few paddle postures.
Well.
When it comes to communicating with wild animals, Zixuan seems to have an extraordinary talent.
Just like Xiaoqing I met when I was in Zhongnan Mountain?
Lan Li: "......"
Stone Monkey: "......"
"You... Hello.... Root... Ben Envoy... I came to ask for immortals, to beg... Beg... Ask the two immortals... The teaching book makes the method of cultivating immortals ....."
After not speaking for months, the stone monkey became a little stumbling.
Intermittent human speech came from the mouth of a stone monkey.
It took some effort, but in the end, I was able to make it clear.
It's just that.....
"Talking monkey!"
"Uh???"
"Husband, husband, people want to take it home..."
Halfway through the words, Zixuan got stuck.
She finally remembered that she was dreaming.
With a blushing face, Zixuan turned her head, looked at the stone monkey and asked in a low voice:
"This envoy? Whose messenger are you? β
This monkey looks unusual, but I didn't expect it to be someone else's messenger!
Well, this time Zixuan's 'I didn't want to be crooked' was directly understood literally.
After asking, I was very much looking forward to the stone monkey being able to answer her.
The stone monkey was stupid.
Isn't that what I mean?
What does that mean?
After being stared at by Zixuan for a long time, the stone monkey scratched his head and replied:
"Immortal, the stone monkey wants to learn spells from you, well, I can introduce you to the female monkey....."
Zixuan: "??? β
Blue Rite .....
Don't make a fuss, at this moment he is moving Zixuan to 'record' this scene with the method of water curtain.
I'll go! Stone monkeys?
Or a stone monkey floating on the sea and wanting to learn immortal arts?
This time the soul of the immortal dream is worth it!
It doesn't matter if the stone monkey in front of you is the legendary one, if you can meet it, it's already worth the ticket price!
I was a little excited in my heart, behind the scenes of Zixuan's water.
Lan Li smiled and leaned in.
"You say it's a stone monkey?"
The monkey nodded.
"And where are you from?"
"It's... You? β
The stone monkey pointed to himself.
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Lan Li's brows furrowed slightly.
Anyway, when Monkey King was a child, was he so stupid and cute?
Sighing in his heart, Lan Li shook his head and said:
"I mean myself, you mean someone else, can you understand?"
The monkey nodded again, then scratched his head and smirked, "Like the monkeys, I thought the immortals were different." β
Lan Li smiled dumbly.
"Where are you from?"
"From the other side of the sea."
"On the other side of the sea, where is that? Do you have a name? β
"Immortals.... Is that.... Is that... The stone monkey only knows that the place where I was born is called Huaguo Mountain...."
"Huaguo Mountain?"
"Hmm...."
After gasping for air, Lan Li stared at it with shiny eyes and asked:
"Is it three thousand miles east of Dongsheng Shenzhou, the Huaguo Mountain near the left of the country?"
β......β
The stone monkey shrunk its paws, and it didn't know if it was.
It can be seen that Lan Li is still looking at it, and can only nod and admit it stiffly.
And when Lan Li heard this, he was so excited that he wanted to explode!
Fuck me!
Lao Tzu sleeps, ahh
Not only did I encounter it, but Monkey King also wanted to worship me as a teacher!
Just ask you if you're awesome!
Thinking in his heart, Lan Li's eyes lit up as he stared at the stone monkey.
'This is Monkey King!
Born a stone monkey, or Nuwa Niangniang is left when she mends the sky....'
Thinking of Nuwa Niangniang, subconsciously, Lan Li turned his head sideways and glanced at Zixuan beside him.
Suddenly, the excitement in my heart was as if it had been extinguished by water.
It is said that Nuwa's descendants have all been married home by him, and now she sees a stone left over from her old man's house, why are she so excited?
At this moment, Lan Li only felt embarrassed.
It's too chaotic for this special world to merge!
Shouldn't you be excited to see your childhood idol?
But in this situation, should he really be excited?
Blindfolded!
Being held back by this tangled mentality, Lan Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Whatever!
All to their own!
Lan Li figured it out, but the stone monkey in front of him was frightened by him.
After seeing Lan Li's strange expression, he was afraid that Lan Li would not accept it.
Kneel directly on the raft and kowtow.
"The gods are above, and I hope that the gods will accept the stone monkey as an apprentice, and the stone monkey can catch the female monkey for the master....."
Lan Li's expression froze.
Female monkeys?
Can you stop mentioning the she-monkey?
You're my childhood idol! Is it also a Japanese female monkey?
"I thought you .... Stones..."
"Back to the master's words, the stone monkey did that a few years ago."
When he said this, there was no embarrassment on the stone monkey's face.
As a monkey, it has not yet learned to be polite and honest.
If you want to say it, just say it?
Lost monkeys? What is that?
"Did you really do it?"
Lan Li's eyes widened.
That's damn okay!
The stone monkey nodded, not understanding why the newly recognized master was so surprised.
When it thought about it, it suddenly thought of what Bai Wuchang had said at the beginning.
After hesitating for a moment, it asked Lan Li:
"The master is above, the stone monkey asks, master, can you live for three thousand years?"
Lan Li: "??? β
Why did the monkey suddenly ask about this?
Isn't it time to ask if you can live forever?
Director, Monkey King's script is wrong!
But... Three thousand years?
Lan Li glanced at Zi Xuan, who was full of smugness on the side, and then said to the stone monkey with a calm face:
"Three thousand years is nothing, I can live for 10,000 years!"
Zixuan was behind him, and she slammed him on the back!
When the stone monkey heard this, he kowtowed again.
"Please also ask the master to accept the law that I can live for 10,000 years! Please also ask the master to accept the method that I can live for 10,000 years! β
"Poof... Ahem, ahem... Do you want to learn? β
"Yes!"
"Don't want to learn something else first?"
β.....β
The stone monkey hesitated for a moment, then shook his head firmly:
"I don't want to! Please also ask the master to accept the method that I can live for 10,000 years! β
'Uh.....'
This, that, what.
Otherwise, let's let it go to Subodhi, right?
10,000 years?
He now lives for 500 years.....
But this is blown, it can't be round, right?
After thinking about it, Lan Li's eyes suddenly lit up.
Then the majestic stone monkey said:
"The method of living for 10,000 years should not be taken lightly, and it is not easy to accept apprentices as a teacher.
In this way, for the sake of the teacher, I will accept you as a registered disciple first.
Here are the cheats for you to get started.
If you have practiced to the 13th level of Dzogchen, you can officially become a disciple of the teacher.
When the time comes, you can go to the East China Sea Martial Emperor City and find a teacher. β
Saying this, Lan Li also nodded pretendedly.
casually threw away his 'hardcover' 'Blue Martial Arts'.
But he didn't know it, but what he was thinking in his heart was....
'Three years from now, you come on.
Although I didn't have time to meet.
But I've got a big gift for you.....
