In "Journey to the West", pine trees appear many times. In addition to Sun Wukong, who was blamed and driven away by the Bodhi Patriarch because he turned into a pine tree, there was also Tang Seng when he was preparing to go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, and he once said to the monks of Hongfu Temple that one day the pine branches at the door are facing east, I will come back, if I don't face east, I will not come back. It wasn't until fourteen years later that a strange thing happened in Hongfu Temple, the pine branches at the door were facing east, and the monks who had heard Tang Seng's expectations saw this and knew that this implied that Tang Seng was coming back.

When a senior brother saw Yang Xuan and Sun Wukong coming, he hurriedly beckoned to the two of them, "Two junior brothers, come here." ”

Sun Wukong was in a good mood today, and happily promised, "I'll come right away." ”

"Senior brother, wait a minute."

Yang Xuan came back to his senses and hurriedly wanted to stop Sun Wukong.

However, Sun Wukong didn't hear Yang Xuan's words at all, but he jumped up and walked under the pine tree and sat up, chatting with the senior brothers.

"Well, is this fate?"

Yang Xuan sighed in his heart, and followed him to sit under the pine tree.

The warm sunlight shines through the shade of the trees, sparsely scattered on the ground, and a group of people from the three-star cave of the slanting moon gather under the pine trees, exchanging their perceptions and cultivation experiences of the Dao, and talking about their own experiences.

For a while, there was talk and laughter.

Suddenly, a senior brother asked Sun Wukong curiously, "Wukong, in which world did you cultivate the fate?" Some time ago, the master whispered in his ear, and passed on to you the method of avoiding the changes of the three calamities, have you ever understood? ”

As soon as these words came out, many people turned their eyes to Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong looked proud, and said, "Don't hide it from your brothers, first, the master teaches the subtlety of the method, and the other is that I practice diligently day and night, and I dare not have the slightest neglect, how can it not be unreasonable." ”

"Can't you be humble?" Seeing that the monkey seemed to be floating, Yang Xuan couldn't help but hold his forehead with one hand.

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly said, "Take advantage of this good time, you audition, let me wait and see." ”

Sun Wukong was said by everyone like this, and suddenly he also had the idea of showing off his skills in front of everyone, and he didn't call it a resignation, shook his spirit, and said loudly, "Senior brothers, please come up with a topic, what do you want me to change into?" ”

Zhichen suddenly pointed to the pine tree and said loudly, "Just become a pine tree." ”

"Alright, voila!" In front of everyone, Sun Wukong pinched the trick in his hand, recited the spell, and turned into a pine tree.

When everyone saw that the willow tree did not look like a monkey, but was full of frost and snow resistant branches, they could not help applauding and applauding continuously.

"Good! Good! This trick is really wonderful! ”

"It's only been less than three years, and Senior Brother Wukong has been able to practice the way of change to such an extent, it's amazing!"

"I thought that Senior Brother Wuxuan had the best talent, but it seems that Senior Brother Wukong is the first person in the Three-Star Cave of the Leaning Moon!"

......

was praised by all the senior brothers like this, how can Sun Wukong be cool in his heart!

Ever since Patriarch Bodhi taught him the seventy-two changes of the earth's evils, he has been cultivating in the back mountains day and night. Now that he has been praised by all the senior brothers, he only feels that his hardships in the past three years have not been in vain, and he is a little fluttering.

Among the crowd, only Yang Xuan sat in place all the time, without saying a word.

Because he knew that the day had finally come.

Sun Wukong's every move was naturally known clearly by the Bodhi Patriarch who was looking at the scriptures in the quiet room.

After all, he is not like Yang Xuan, there is a system to cover up the heavens.

"This monkey is really good at tossing," Patriarch Bodhi smiled bitterly, and said with some regret, "Counting the days, his life expectancy in the book of life and death is only two or three years, and it is time to let him go out to toss." ”

So at that moment, Patriarch Bodhi walked out of the quiet room with a cane with a gloomy face, came outside, and asked angrily in front of the people who were still amazed, "Who is making a noise here?" ”

The patriarch who everyone saw was pale, hurriedly checked, dressed and saluted, not daring to make a sound, for fear of angering the Bodhi patriarch.

Sun Wukong was so reprimanded by the Bodhi Patriarch, he hurriedly showed his true appearance, turned back into a monkey body, and got into the crowd.

"Back to the master, I will talk here, and there is no noise from the surname, I hope the master will be clear."

"Humph!" The Bodhi Ancestor flicked the sleeves of his robe and shouted angrily, "You are shouting and screaming, you don't look like a cultivator at all!" Cultivators, pay attention to the opening of the mouth and the dispersion of the spirit, and the tongue to move right and wrong! How dare you laugh here? ”

Everyone also turned pale, bowed their heads and replied, "Don't dare to hide it from the master, the right Monkey King is acting as a change." We taught him to turn into a pine tree, and sure enough, it was a pine tree, and the disciples all applauded and applauded, so they raised their voices and pretended to respect the teacher, hoping to beg for forgiveness. ”

Patriarch Bodhi soothed a little after hearing this, and then bowed his head and said, "In that case, you all disperse." ”

When everyone heard this, they all bowed and thanked Patriarch Bodhi, and then dispersed.

Yang Xuan was about to leave, but he still walked to the side and did not leave.

Sun Wukong saw that Patriarch Bodhi did not punish everyone, and was about to leave at the moment, but was stopped by Patriarch Bodhi, "Wukong, come here!" ”

When Sun Wukong heard this, he had to step forward, kneel in front of Patriarch Bodhi, bow his head and say, "What does the master command?" ”

Patriarch Bodhi looked at Sun Wukong and said, "Let me ask you, what kind of spirit do you make, what kind of pine tree do you change?" How can this kung fu be shown in front of people? What if you see someone else and don't ask for it? If you don't pass it on to him, won't he make him resentful, and in this way, he will do you harm. ”

"Master," Yang Xuan quietly came over, walked to the side of Patriarch Bodhi, and arched his hands to persuade, "Master, read his first offense ......"

"Shut up!" Patriarch Bodhi glared at Yang Xuan, and directly frightened Yang Xuan into not daring to speak anymore.

"Didn't I let you go? Do you have to speak? Patriarch Bodhi didn't look at Yang Xuan, but said with a sullen face, "Go back and punish copying the Tao Te Ching a hundred times." ”

Seeing that Patriarch Bodhi wouldn't give him a voice at all, Yang Xuan had no choice but to whisper, "The disciple knows that he is wrong, and he is willing to be punished." ”

Sun Wukong saw that only Yang Xuan was speaking for him, and he was moved in his heart, looked at Yang Xuan gratefully, and hurriedly kowtowed to Patriarch Bodhi and said, "Master, the disciple knows that he is wrong, and he hopes that the master will forgive his sins." ”

Seeing that Sun Wukong sincerely repented, Patriarch Bodhi sighed lightly, "I don't blame you for today's events, you better go." ”

When Sun Wukong heard this, he was about to get up, but he suddenly thought that what Patriarch Bodhi had just said to everyone was scattered, but he said to himself, just say to me, he was shocked, and said with tears in his eyes: "Where does the master teach me to go?" ”

"Wherever you come from, you will go." Patriarch Bodhi snorted coldly, "Twenty years after being away from home, you have forgotten where you came from?" ”
