Chapter 5: The Patriarch's Question

Although there are many buildings in Fangcun Cave House, they are scattered. The south garden on the mountainside is planted with spiritual grass, the north garden is fed with spiritual birds, the east is the yaotai where the patriarch preached, and the west is the cloud platform where the disciples practice. Towards the top of the mountain are a number of attics, including the Library Pavilion and the Treasure Pavilion, as well as the residences of the disciples and boys. Go up again, go to the top of the fast mountain, is the patriarch's meditation room, is the residence of the patriarch Su Bodhi.

Among these places, except for the Library Pavilion and the Treasure Pavilion, which require the permission of the senior brother Qinglingzi to enter, the Patriarch's Zen Room is also a forbidden place. For the sake of the patriarch's tranquility, except for the light spirit son and the spirit thunder son, even if the disciples have any problems with their cultivation, they all ask the ancestor during the daily sermon, and they dare not disturb lightly.

So Lin Mo also came to the top of the mountain for the first time today.

The patriarch's meditation room is more ordinary than imagined, and the tiled house at the end of the mountain road is up. Under the pines and cypresses, in the shade of the trees, it is like the farmers of Zhaojia Village in the past, ordinary and ordinary.

Standing outside the wooden door, Lin Mo said respectfully: "Ancestor, disciple Lin Mo asks to see." ”

With a squeak, the wooden door opened without wind, and Lin Mo took a deep breath and stepped in.

The interior of the meditation room is extremely simple, even simple: except for a stone bed against the wall, the rest is bluestone. At this moment, Patriarch Subodhi is sitting in the center of the stone bed with his eyes closed.

Lin Mo walked to the stone bed to greet him: "Disciple to meet the patriarch." ”

The patriarch opened his eyes with an indifferent expression, neither his love for Sun Wukong on the day he accepted the apprentice, nor the coldness of Qing Lingzi's usual appearance, and he couldn't see a clue: "Lin Mo, do you know why I called you here today?" ”

"Senior Brother Ling Leizi said to me, the ancestor is magnanimous, and he wants to personally lead me to practice!"

The patriarch's jaw, his gaze swept over Lin Mo's body, as if he was probing his physical condition. Lin Mo didn't dare to move, just stood up straight and held his breath.

After a moment, the patriarch sighed lightly, "Actually, I don't want to lead you into the path of cultivation!" ”

With a soft word but like a lightning strike, Lin Mo raised his head in a panic and asked in a sparkly voice: "Ancestor, is my physical foundation still insufficient?" ”

The patriarch shook his head.

Lin Mo was stunned, the thoughts in his heart turned around, his face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Ancestor, do you think I am hiding my origin?" If it weren't for Wukong's begging, he wouldn't have left me in Fangcun Mountain at all! Want to ignore me even now? ”

This is the only reason that Lin Mo can think of, after all, compared to what should have happened, he is a person who should not appear!

But the patriarch still shook his head: "How can you have such an idea? You are already a member of our mountain, what is the importance of your past? How can I ignore you? ”

This is not that nor that, Lin Mo was completely confused.

Seeing Lin Mo like this, the patriarch said directly: "What I am worried about is that you don't want to practice!" ”

"Huh? What did you say, Patriarch? Lin Mo was stunned, feeling that he had misheard: "How could I not want to practice?" Wukong and I came here to seek immortals, forβ€”"

"For what?" The patriarch said: "Wukong is here to ask for immortals, are you?" Are you like him, who came to seek cultivation with all your heart? ”

Lin Mo opened his mouth to say yes, but in the face of the profound gaze of the patriarch, the words suddenly stopped to his lips and could no longer be spoken.

He is different from Wukong, he is not even like all the disciples of Fang Cun Mountain-he is not wholeheartedly seeking immortals here! He didn't even come here for cultivation!

At the foot of the mountain, after recognizing Wukong's identity, he was full of surprises in the world of Journey to the West! Going up the mountain with Goku is also driven by instinct! What kind of cultivation, what kind of immortal seeking, is not something he thinks of! He just wanted to witness it with his own eyes, and even join in the familiar scenes!

He is the most special unexpected visitor on Fangcun Mountain! Even if he and the disciples of Fang Cun Mountain lived the same day and did the same things every day, it was incompatible with here!

Looking at Lin Mo, who was standing in a daze, the patriarch sighed again: "I have many disciples, and the purpose of cultivation is different. There are those who seek immortality, those who seek to be at ease, and even all of them are bigger, and they are willing to cultivate a supernatural power, so as to kill demons and clear Pingyu! ”

"I don't care about all the purposes, I just teach the practice. Just because this is what they think and think, they will turn the world upside down in the future, and it will also be their own actions! ”

"But like you, you don't even know the purpose of cultivation, and you haven't even thought about cultivation, so you came to Fangcun Mountain, and the person who came to me is the first time to see you! That's why I didn't want to accept you as a disciple that day! ”

"To this day, although you have a sufficient physical foundation, you still do not understand this joint, how can I lead you to the path of cultivation?"

The successive words were like thunder, exploding in Lin Mo's mind, making him suddenly realize, but he was sincerely afraid!

Do I want to practice or not? Would you like to practice? What is the purpose of practice? What are you asking for?

This question echoed in his heart like Hong Zhong Da Lu, making him completely lose his voice and be stunned!

When the patriarch saw him like this, he no longer spoke, but closed his eyes again and sat quietly on the stone bed.

A long time passed, maybe an hour, or maybe two hours, Lin Mo's body trembled, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

The patriarch didn't open his eyes either, but asked, "Have you figured it out?" ”

"It's a little clear." Lin Meng said truthfully: "I am willing to practice!" ”

"Ask for what?"

"I don't know!"

Hearing this answer, the patriarch sighed lightly, opened his eyes and looked down at Lin Mo who was kneeling on the ground, quite surprised.

"The disciple really doesn't know what he wants. It seems to be seeking immortality, but it is not as persistent as Goku; It seems that he also wants to be free, but he doesn't seem to miss it so much; Vaguely, I also imagine that the senior brother you said, seeking great powers, can change the world and turn things around, and manage the injustices in the world, but I feel that I am just thinking about it at any time, like a joke, and I dare not say that I will really do it in the future...... The disciple really didn't know if these could be counted as what he wanted. ”

After a pause, Lin Mo then said solemnly: "But the disciple wants to practice!" I want to find what I want in my practice! ”

Su Bodhi Patriarch raised his eyebrows, a pair of deep eyes that could see through people's hearts were fixed on Lin Mo, Lin Mo did not dodge, raised his head to look at the patriarch, and looked solemn.

After a moment, the patriarch laughed.

"Either way, no matter what! Practice, if you know everything from the beginning, what else do you need to practice! Come, from today onwards, you will begin to practice! ”

In the midst of laughter, the patriarch's sleeve robe waved, and a streamer flew out. Lin Mofu reached out to take it, but it was a book.

"My disciples' practices are different and different from person to person. That's what you're in! Take it and go! If there is any result of his daily practice, you can come and tell me! Haha, I'm also a little curious, what exactly will you ask for! ”

Lin Mo knocked deeply: "Disciple, remember! Thank you, Patriarch! ”

The patriarch waved his hand and closed his eyes. Lin Mo consciously got up, bowed and exited the meditation room, closed the wooden door, and looked up at the bright sun that had reached the middle of the sky, as if he was in another world.

After reading it for a while, his heart suddenly lightened, he chuckled, and looked down at the book in his hand, but saw six big characters - "Tongming Ascending to the Sky Jade Record"!
