Chapter 7 Kneel down to the patriarch

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 shouldn't have dinner yet, please come with me" and led Xiaokong to the dining room.

Xiaokong had eaten dinner and was about to speak, when Daotong said, "Donor, please come with me" and led Xiaokong to a relatively small room. Dao Tong said:

"It's getting late, please rest here," he said, turning and leaving.

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, Sun Xiaokong got up early in the morning, and he suddenly heard a faint shout 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 it, and secretly watched them practice.

Xiaokong carefully observed and found that there were more than a dozen Dao Masters practicing 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 exercises, and their 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, he 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 also found deep footprints on the ground.

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

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 Kannai.

Sun Xiaokong was extremely 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 say hello to the Taoist leader, may I ask the Taoist chief if he is the Bodhi Patriarch?"

The Taoist chief did not answer Sun Xiaokong's question, and 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 he said: "You recognize the wrong person, I am not the Bodhi Patriarch, the Bodhi Patriarch is my master." ”

Sun Xiaokong was quite disappointed, thought for a moment, and then said, "Can you help me introduce Patriarch Bodhi?"

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

Sun Xiaokong seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on his head. But he was not reconciled, so he said:

"Then I'll wait here, and when the patriarch 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: "Young man, I advise you not to wait here, my master will not accept you!"

"Why?"

"In fact, 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!"

"Then why won't he 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 and made a big fuss in the heavenly palace, but he later violated the master's ancestral teachings. 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, can I worship you as a teacher?" Xiao Kong thought that the Dao Master in front of him was also very strong in kung fu, and he thought that it would be good if he worshipped him as a teacher.

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

"Why can't you accept me, don't you also accept 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 can I ignore my master's words?" What the Taoist chief means is that Patriarch Bodhi does not agree to accept Sun Xiaokong as an apprentice, and he, as a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi, naturally cannot go against the master's wishes, nor can he accept Sun Xiaokong 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 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 take you as a disciple." ”

Sun Xiaokong has the heart to cry. He silently followed behind the group of people, who entered the gate, and he involuntarily followed the gate.

The long-bearded Taoist shook his head again.

Sun Xiaokong still had a trace of fantasy in his heart, he wanted to impress the Bodhi Patriarch with his sincerity, thinking that if the patriarch was moved by his sincerity, he might accept himself as an apprentice after his cultivation was over.

Sun Xiaokong had this idea, so he stuck to the Taoist Temple of Fangcun Mountain and refused to go.

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 had been moved by this child in his heart. This kid 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 retreated and cultivated, and he stayed there without eating or drinking, waiting for the end of the Patriarch's retreat. Because some people couldn't bear it, they had already revealed the location of the retreat of the Bodhi Patriarch to Sun Xiaokong.

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.
