Sun Xiaokong entered the temple, and saw through the dim sunlight that this was a set of courtyard courtyards composed of the main hall, the left and right wings, and the gate, the courtyard was clean and clean, and there were two huge incense burners in the courtyard.

At this time, Dao Tong said: "The donor should not have dinner yet, please come with me." So he led Sora to the dining room.

Xiaokong had eaten dinner and was about to speak, when Daotong said again: "Donor, please come with me." So he led Xiaokong to a smaller wing. Dao Tong said:

"It's getting late, so please rest here. With that, he turned and left.

Xiao Kong secretly wondered, he thought, could it be that everyone in the temple is so weird? He observed the room, and the room was simply furnished: a bed, a table, a chair, a urinal under the bed, and that's it. The room was fairly clean.

At night, Sun Xiaokong tossed and turned, and it was difficult to sleep. He felt something strange about it, as if something was wrong.

The next day, he got up early in the morning, and suddenly he heard a faint cry coming from the back mountain, so he quietly went around the back mountain, wanting to see what was going on.

When Xiaokong arrived at the back mountain, he found that the shouts came from a group of Taoist masters who practiced the exercises. So he found a big rock, hid behind the boulder, and secretly watched them practice.

Xiaokong carefully observed and found that there were more than a dozen Dao Masters who practiced the exercises, and there were both older and younger Dao Masters in the crowd, and what they were practicing should be a kind of health preservation exercise, and the movements were stretched and slow. Directing them to practice was an older Taoist leader, who looked to be in his fifties, and I saw this Taoist immortal wind dao bone, he held a pair of Buddha Chen in his hand, and the long beard on his chest swayed gently in the morning breeze.

Xiao Kong continued to observe, and he found that when the group of Dao Masters were practicing, they could feel the air around them trembling slightly when they were out of their palms or legs between the gentle movements, and when they looked at the ground, they found that there were deep footprints on the ground.

Sun Xiaokong understood, it turned out that this was a kind of qigong, which belonged to a superior internal gong method.

Just when Xiaokong continued to observe, he only heard a "stop", the sound was not loud but loud and abnormal, the sound had a penetrating power, and it vibrated in the air, so that a few leaves fell on the nearby trees, and Xiaokong's eardrums also faintly sounded when he heard this sound.

With this voice, the Dao Masters also stopped practicing. They began to return to the temple.

Xiao Kong was very excited, he thought that this long-bearded Taoist must be a master, so he found an opportunity to run to this Taoist at once.

Xiao Kong bowed and bowed, bent his upper body to the ground and said, "Junior greetings to the Taoist chief, may I ask the Taoist chief if he is the Bodhi Patriarch?"

The Taoist chief didn't answer Sun Xiaokong's question, but said, "What are you doing sneakily hiding behind the stones, why didn't you come out early!"

Xiao Kong was taken aback, it turned out that the Taoist had already discovered him.

The Taoist chief then said, "Are you the young man who came to the temple last night, what are you doing here?"

Sun Xiaokong had already determined that this Taoist was the Bodhi Patriarch, so he told the Taoist Master the purpose of coming here.

How do you know the chief but said: "You recognize the wrong person, I am not the Bodhi Patriarch, the Bodhi Patriarch is my master." ”

Xiaokong was quite disappointed, thought for a while, and then said, "Then can you bother the Taoist to help me introduce the Bodhi Patriarch?"

"My master is in retreat now, and he won't see you. The Taoist said.

Sun Xiaokong seemed to be beaten by someone as if he was beaten with a stick. But he was not reconciled, and said:

"Then I'll wait here, and when the ancestor is out of the customs, I'm worshipping him as a teacher. ”

The Taoist chief looked at Xiaokong, sighed, and told Xiaokong in a very sincere tone, saying, "Young man, I advise you not to wait here, my master will not accept you!"

"Why is that?"

"Actually, when you arrived at this spiritual mountain, my master already knew, and he personally told me that he would not accept you as an apprentice, so I advise you to leave as soon as possible!"

"Can you please tell me why his old man won't accept me?"

"It's not because of your grandfather Sun Wukong, when my master accepted your grandfather as an apprentice, but he didn't abide by the rules of the door and made a big fuss in the heavenly palace, but he later violated the master's ancestral teachings and passed on the secret knowledge of his own sect to outsiders. You are the grandson of Sun Wukong, how can my master accept you again?"

Sun Xiaokong finally understood, so it seems that Patriarch Bodhi should really not accept himself. But he thought about it and said:

"Dao Chief, the ancestor doesn't accept me, is it okay for me to worship you as a teacher?" Xiao Kong thought that the Taoist in front of him was also very good at kung fu, and thought that if he could worship him as a teacher, it would not be in vain to come to Fangcun Mountain.

But the Taoist chief said, "I won't accept you either, so I advise you to go, young man!"

"Why don't you accept me again, haven't you also accepted a lot of apprentices?" Sun Xiaokong said, pointing to the group of Dao Masters.

"I really can't take you, really. Think about it, how could I ignore my master's words?" The Taoist chief means that Patriarch Bodhi does not agree to accept Sun Xiaokong as an apprentice, and as a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi, he naturally cannot go against Master's wishes, and of course he cannot accept him as an apprentice.

Sun Xiaokong was disappointed. He was dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

But he thought, "I still can't just give up, I've come all the way here, wouldn't it be a pity if I just left?" Thinking of this, Sun Xiaokong didn't leave, he kept following behind this Taoist leader, all the way to the Taoist temple.

At the door of the Taoist temple, the Taoist chief smiled bitterly and said, "Young man, what are you still doing with me, I said that I will not accept you." ”

Sun Xiaokong couldn't speak, just followed silently, refusing to leave.

The Taoist chief shook his head and said, "Okay, whatever you want, you can eat here, you can live here, but I have to tell you again, I will not accept you as an apprentice." ”

The little empty heart has the heart to cry. He silently followed behind these people, and this group of people entered the gate, and he involuntarily followed the gate.

The long-bearded Taoist couldn't help but shake his head again.

There was still a trace of fantasy in Sun Xiaokong's heart, he wanted to impress the Bodhi Patriarch with his sincerity, thinking that if the patriarch was moved by his sincerity, he might not accept himself as an apprentice when his cultivation was over.

He had this idea, so he stuck to the Taoist Temple of Fangcun Mountain and refused to leave.

Two days have passed, three days have passed, and Sun Xiaokong has not left.

Nagabeard shook his head uncontrollably, but he couldn't bear to drive this child away, to be honest, he was already impressed by this child's tenacity in his heart. This child is so polite and persistent, if it weren't for the master's words, he would really be willing to take him as an apprentice.

Later, Sun Xiaokong simply stayed at the entrance of the cave where the Bodhi Patriarch retreat was practiced, and he didn't eat or drink, just stayed there, waiting for the end of the Patriarch's retreat. Because some people couldn't bear it, they had already revealed to him the location of Patriarch Bodhi's retreat.

At the beginning, Sun Xiaokong still stood at the entrance of the patriarch's cave with his hands down, but later he simply knelt and waited at the entrance of the cave.

However, Patriarch Bodhi's retreat is not over. He never saw his ancestor.

Another two days passed, and Sun Xiaokong did this every day.

On this day, Sun Xiaokong was kneeling at the entrance of the Bodhi Patriarch's cave as always, when he suddenly heard a voice from inside.
