Chapter 122 (◔◡◔)
Traveling to the west somewhere in the world, consciousness awakens from the darkness.
Lin Ran felt very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, especially his stomach, as if he had eaten a lot of things and was supported.
Suddenly, I felt my stomach squeezed, and I vomited everything in my stomach with a sound of "(⊙o⊙) Wow".
Subconsciously wiped a handful of water stains from the corners of his mouth and looked around.
As a result, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a monkey with a hairy face and a thunderous mouth appear in front of him.
The heart passed, Lin Ran was not taken aback, but he was a little stunned when he saw this monkey, it wouldn't be such a coincidence, he met Sun Wukong when he first came.
The body moved back two steps, and it hurt a lot, and sure enough, it was still like this, whoever crossed into it must have the identity of that person, and now it is estimated that he has crossed to become an ordinary person.
looked to both sides and found that Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were still there, and the five-clawed golden dragon was also hovering around Xiao Bai's neck.
Turning his head again to look at the monkey staring at him curiously, he asked.
"Who are you? Where is this? ”
In fact, when he asked this, Lin Ran had a guess that more than 90% of the monkey in front of him was the famous Monkey King.
And looking at the current appearance of Sun Wukong, it seems that he has not yet learned from a teacher, just an ordinary demon monkey.
In today's environment, the sea is everywhere you look.
When did Sun Wukong go to sea before he apprenticed to learn art, and there is a clear and obvious record that he went to sea to find immortal mountains before apprenticeship... Find the way to immortality.
Oh, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, I just happened to meet Sun Wukong to apprentice, and he was also looking for a master.
It's just that his master can't be the Bodhi Patriarch, and the other party doesn't have the ability to teach him, so he's so crazy.
The result was a bit unexpected, this monkey suspected of being the Monkey King did not say his identity, but directly knelt on the bamboo raft, kowtowed to Lin Ran three times, and said in standard Mandarin.
"Immortal, I want to learn the art of immortality, please teach me."
Lin Ran had already determined that this monkey was Sun Wukong.
If you want to learn the art of immortality, heh, he Lin Ran also wants it.
I got up from the raft and looked around at the endless sea.
I'm a little worried about whether he will starve because he has no food, and his current body is very sure that he is an ordinary person, how long can he last without food and water?
I felt it in my heart, and found that I could still communicate with the three-body universe and the Tianlong world in my mind, and I could even return to the real world anytime and anywhere, so I was relieved.
looked down at Sun Wukong, who was still kneeling, and shook his head.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have the art of longevity, so I can't teach it to you."
Sun Wukong was disappointed for a moment, and then recovered.
"Immortal, you are lying to me, I saw with my own eyes that you fell from such a high place, safe and sound."
Sun Wukong said and stood up and made a gesture, asking Lin Ran to see how tall that one was.
Sun Wukong thought of what the old monkey said to him when he left, if you want to apprentice to the immortals, you must first have perseverance, and the immortals will test him.
He thought that Lin Ran was testing him, so he was even more religious, he must learn the art of immortality from the immortals.
Lin Ran shook his head again, and reached out to pick up the Monkey King who was kneeling on the ground.
"I'm sorry, I'm really not an immortal, I can't teach you the art of immortality, you should be able to feel that I'm just like you, or even inferior to you just an ordinary person. The reason why I fell from such a high place ......"
Lin Ran paused slightly when he said this, and then shook his head.
"Forget it, you don't understand a lot of things I told you, but I'm really not a god."
Sun Wukong's expression was very firm and he shook his head.
"Immortals, you are immortals, you just don't want to take me as a disciple... Immortal, what do you say I need to do to take me as an apprentice? ”
Zhou Yi shook his head again and sighed helplessly.
This monkey is really a tendon.
"Monkey, I'm really not an immortal, and I can't teach you the water of immortality, I'm just an ordinary person, don't pester me."
"If you really want to apprentice to the gods... I can give you a piece of advice if you're learning the art of immortality. ”
Sun Wukong was originally sad, and of course he was sad that the gods didn't accept him.
But after hearing Zhou Yi's later words, he came to the spirit again, and "Tong Tong Tong" kowtowed three times.
"Immortal, you said, how can I worship you as a teacher, how can I learn the art of immortality."
This monkey is really... It's stupid, it's not like the legendary monkey spirit at all.
"I think you've heard that there is a three-star cave of the slanting moon in the middle of Lingtai Fangcun Mountain... There is an old immortal there, as long as you find it, you can worship him as a teacher, and he will teach you the art of immortality and the way of invincibility......"
Speaking of this, Lin Ran paused for another moment.
The way of invincibility... Seventy-two changes?
Hehe, seventy-two changes are just ordinary spells, as long as they are a little famous immortals.
It's just that because Sun Wukong is more special, he boasted that this seventy-two changes were unique in heaven and earth.
Hehe, in fact, it's not as good as the thirty-six changes of Tiangang.
Speaking of which, this Monkey King is indeed a tragic figure, from his birth to the havoc in the heavens, and then to the final study of scriptures in the West, everything is just a conspiracy of Buddhism, so that he can complete this so-called Journey to the West.
From beginning to end it was a complete tragedy.
Sun Wukong is a tragedy, so why is he Lin Ran not a tragedy?
Since the first world, he has been under the control of others, and the paths he walks are all arranged by others, knowing that he still has to do it.
Hehe! is even more tragic than Sun Wukong, at least Sun Wukong is resistant.
Maybe it was because of the same disease, Lin Ran wanted to change the trajectory of Sun Wukong's life, but finally shook his head.
He can't control himself, let alone anyone else?
It's all left to fate.
The current Monkey King is still just a monkey after all, and when he heard Zhou Yi say that there is a way of immortality that can be learned, and there is a way of invincibility that can be learned, he was suddenly excited again.
Standing up, scratching his ears and head, he asked.
"Immortal, now I should go there to learn the art of immortality, and where is the three-star cave of the slanting moon? Why haven't I heard of it? ”
Lin Ran thought for a moment and replied.
"If you follow your mind, you will meet your teacher... Learn the art of immortality. ”
Sun Wukong muttered to himself.
"According to what I think in my heart, I don't have any thoughts in my heart."
Lin Ran shook his head again.
"Nope! You have an idea, feel carefully where you're going next... Where do you go? Following your heart? ”
Sun Wukong's eyes were confused.
"Where am I going... Where am I going? I think I'm going to the east. ”
Lin Ran nodded.
"Yes, just go to the east, and your future master is in the east."
Animals are animals after all, they are not as good as people, and the dignified Monkey King was brainwashed by Lin Ran so simply.
came to his senses, and then knelt down in front of Lin Ran again, slammed his head three times, and said with a grateful face.
"Thank you immortals, thank you immortals, I already know where my master is? Thank you for your help...! ”
Lin Ran smiled, shook his head and didn't say anything.
kicked Xiaobai at his feet, and then looked at the boundless sea, and he also fell into muttering.
"You know where to go, but what about me, where do I go?"
As he spoke, he grabbed the bead in his hand, and he had a feeling that the bead would lead him to the person he was looking for, the master who could teach him.
Throughout the world of Journey to the West, who can be his master?
No, it's just so arrogant.
The famous Bodhi Patriarch is not good, and neither can the three sages of Taoism and the two sages of the West that have not appeared.
It seems like... There really was no one to teach him.
In this way, Lin Ran was also a little curious about his master.
In the Journey to the West, but not in the Journey to the West, is he a plane stowaway like him?
Suddenly, a figure appeared in his mind, it was the lingering figure in Tsing Yi.
Until now, Lin Ran still remembers the original sentence.
"The fruit of today is the cause of his day."
He shook his head again, sighed, and then looked at Sun Wukong, who had already stood up and slid the small bamboo raft towards the east.
The bead was placed in the mouth of the five-clawed golden dragon wrapped around Xiaobai's neck, and he also sat cross-legged on the bamboo raft, stroking Xiaobai's head, and asked Sun Wukong.
"It's fate for us to meet, my name is Lin Ran, just an ordinary person, what about you?"
The current Monkey King is still very simple, scratched his head, and replied a little silly.
"I don't have a name, but my children call me the Monkey King."
Monkey King? That's 100% Monkey King.
Lin Ran looked Sun Wukong up and down, his aesthetics still can't understand how the three words Monkey King are used on Sun Wukong, maybe for those monkeys, Sun Wukong is a beautiful horse.
"Then Monkey King, can I ask a few questions?"
Sun Wukong was still sliding the bamboo raft and replied with a smile.
"Immortals, you say."
Lin Ran waved his hand and said.
"We are now in the boundless sea, there is still a long distance from the land, even if you row, it won't be long, let's sit down and talk, let this bamboo raft drift according to his original trajectory."
Rafting on your own?
Sun Wukong scratched his head again, a little incomprehensible to Lin Ran's words.
Drift freely, God knows where it will drift.
"Immortal, if you don't control this bamboo raft, it will drift around......"
Zhou Yi shook his head.
"Trust me, he won't, sit down and talk."
Sun Wukong still didn't understand why Lin Ran was so sure, but the immortal told him not to dare to disobey, so he could only scratch his head again, and then sat opposite Lin Ran.
"What questions do you have for the immortals?"
Lin Ran asked.
"I'm just curious about where you learned your language, it's the language we speak and communicate normally, it stands to reason that you're goblins, and I'm human, and the language between us shouldn't be compatible, but now what you say is more standard than what I say. Why is that? Did you have the language at birth, or did you learn it later? ”
Sun Wukong was stunned by Lin Ran's question, what does it mean? Isn't it just to say something, why are there so many questions, with his brain is not enough to understand so many questions asked by Lin Ran, he scratches his ears and cheeks for a while, and he doesn't know which one to answer first.
Lin Ran looked at Sun Wukong, who was scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry, and he also knew what the other party thought.
Again, he spoke.
"Don't worry, take your time, one by one."
"Hmm... First, are you born to speak? ”
Sun Wukong was still so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, but the identity of the immortal made him have to calm down, nodded and replied.
"Yes, I was born to speak, to walk, to ...... will pee. ”
"Then apart from you, are the rest of your monkeys born to speak the truth?"
Sun Wukong scratched his head and replied with some embarrassment.
"This... This one... I haven't paid attention to this before, I don't know. ”
"Well, it seems that there is no pattern, let's change the question."
Lin Ran said and glanced at the empty bamboo raft and asked.
"I don't see any food or water on this raft, how do you survive... I mean, what do you eat when you're hungry, and what do you drink when you're thirsty? ”
Sun Wukong had a smile on his face, he knew how to answer this, and suddenly felt that this immortal was so stupid, did he still need to ask such a simple question?
"It's simple, when I'm thirsty, I'll drink these seawater, and when I'm hungry, I'll go to the sea and catch some fish to eat."
Lin Ran also understood, and a helpless wry smile appeared on his face.
Yes, how did he forget the identity of Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong is not a human, he is a monkey, to be precise, a demon monkey.
You can't drink seawater, that's for people, it doesn't matter to goblins.
As for the fish... There is no fire......
Not to mention, the elves love nothing more than fresh.
"Na ...... Enlightenment"
Lin Ran's words stopped suddenly, and he almost said the word Wukong just now, but fortunately stopped in time at the critical moment.
Sun Wukong asked curiously.
"Enlightenment...... Immortal, what do you want to greet? ”
Lin Ran shook his head.
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask how long it's been since you left where you were born?"
This time, Sun Wukong tilted his head and thought about it seriously, and then snapped his fingers.
Nearly a minute later, Sun Wukong shook his head and scratched his head again, looking impatient.
"Immortal, I don't know how long it was, I only know that it has been a long time, and the sun in the sky has set many times, and it has risen many times at the same time."
"So do you know what the concept of the year is? For example, how many years have you lived since you were born? ”
Sun Wukong knows how many years he has lived, but he really doesn't know what the concept of this year is.
Not just the year, but also the day he didn't know these concepts.
In fact, not to mention Sun Wukong, even those top powers in heaven and earth don't know what this concept is, where it comes from, and who defined these concepts.
Scold! The awesome human beings on the earth have formulated the cosmic rules of all the worlds in the heavens and all worlds, and they do not need to be explained or covered up by being strong directly.
He waved his hand and said.
"Forget it, you can't understand this question yet, I just hope you can remember what I said, the questions I asked, and wait until you can think about it in the future after you have learned from the immortals. Why are you born to speak the truth, and how do you know these things that seem reasonable, but are actually the most unreasonable. ”
Sun Wukong still didn't understand what Lin Ran said, but in his understanding, he didn't understand because he was too stupid, and what the immortals said was something that only the immortals could understand.
Thereupon! He knelt on the raft with another plop and slammed his head three times.
The monkey's head clings to the bamboo raft.
"The grace of the newcomer today, I keep it in mind, thank you to the immortals ......"
Lin Ran chuckled, this monkey is set in a set, and he doesn't know who to learn it from.
"Alright... Get up, you can see that I'm just an ordinary person now, and I may have to stay on your raft for the rest of the week. There will be a long time to come, and you won't have to make such a big gift. ”
"I may know more, but that's just a lot......"
"From now on, you will call me Mr. Lin. If you don't understand anything, you can also ask me, Changsha, this is my side, I can't help you, and the rest. Speaking of this, Lin Ran shook his head again and chuckled, you shouldn't care much about the others, it's a pity to have the backing of a person who is bent on seeking the Tao and wanting immortality.
Sun Wukong got up and nodded seriously.
"Don't worry, immortals, I understand."
Sometimes that's the case, first impressions matter, and first salutations matter.
The monkey doesn't seem to change.
Sun Wukong seemed to think of something, stood up, then picked up the wooden stick used to slide the bamboo raft on the side, and said to Lin Ran with a smile.
"Immortal, you must be hungry for so long, right? Now you wait, I'll go down and get you something to eat. There are just a few kinds of delicious fish in our sea, immortals, you wait, I'll come when I go. ”
As he spoke, Sun Wukong took the wooden stick and plunged into the sea.
Zhou Yi stretched out his hand to stop it, but Sun Wukong's movements were too fast, and he didn't have time at all.
Shaking his head helplessly, Sun Wukong is indeed kind to him, but can a monkey's kindness be acceptable to normal humans? Lin Ran felt that he might not be able to accept it.
And he can communicate with the Tianlong world, and at the same time, he can also communicate with the three-body universe, will he be short of food?
As long as he wants, he can take out food from the Heavenly Dragon World and the Three-Body Universe anytime and anywhere, the kind he wants.
Speaking of ordinary people's physical fitness now, after talking for a while, he is indeed a little hungry.
In a flash of thought, he took some top-notch food from the two worlds he controlled.
The food is very top-notch, at least Lin Ran can't see what the food is, in short, it's delicious.
