Huang Cong withdrew from the door with a realized understanding, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

If you haven't watched "Journey to the West", you won't understand that there is such a bridge, three times is to represent three more points, and these three watches are particularly important, neither before the three watches, but also after the three watches, which not only tests a person's understanding, but also tests a person's patience.

Huang Cong looked at the sky blankly in the small world of this microcosm of the world, recalling the qiē he had experienced during this time, like a dream, but he hoped that this dream could go on forever.

took out the monkey hair left by Sun Wukong, Huang Cong sighed: "The first twenty years of living in the world in a mess, since God gave me a choice, I will never be mediocre in my life, Sun Wukong can make trouble in the heavenly palace five hundred years ago, although I Huang Cong is only to live in this world, but whoever wants to insult me, I will shine." ”

The night is already dark, recalling all the things before, Huang Cong has a feeling that he wants to laugh, because he is just a mortal, an ant from the nether, everyone treats themselves as a clown, and it is estimated that they are laughing behind their backs It is just a green onion, and it can be pulled out directly when there is no need.

After a long time, Huang Cong shouted: "I must remove the mask of hypocrisy on the faces of each of you." ”

Waiting is undoubtedly the hardest, as soon as the watch has arrived, Huang Cong is still sitting quietly in the moonlight, only when he is alone, he will find out how lonely he is, maybe he doesn't belong here.

Time passed slowly in waiting, the moonlight had pulled the shadow of the tree for a long time, Huang Cong looked at the old mountain gate, all the lights had been extinguished, Huang Cong looked at the sky, calculated, it was almost time.

The mountain gate is hidden both day and night, I don't know if it was deliberately done by the Bodhi Taoist, or the disciples guarding the door forgot to close it before going to sleep, or maybe there is no fear of attracting thieves here.

After passing through the mountain gate and coming to the front hall, Huang Cong stood in front of the hall and bowed, and then walked through the backyard to the giant tree, and gently pushed open the door under the giant tree, and found that it was also empty.

Carefully pushed open the door, there was a small candle lit inside, the fire was not very bright, but it was still possible to see the approximate place, the Bodhi Taoist was lying on a sleeping chair, and there was a slight snoring sound between his snorts, Huang Cong wanted to wake up, but stopped his thoughts.

After thinking about it, he knelt directly on the ground, waiting for the Bodhi Taoist to wake up.

It's just that this wait, the time is too long, Huang Cong thought it was just a test for the old man in front of him, so he didn't move a step, but now, the sky is already dawning.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside, Huang Cong looked around, but there was no place to hide, and then he thought about it, except for the Bodhi Daoist here, who could see himself?

The little master who came in yesterday with a big broom to sweep the floor, and now he has a basin of hot water in his hand, it is estimated that he came to serve the old man Bodhi to wash up, the little master gently pushed the Bodhi Taoist, and shouted: "Master, you are lazy again, and you always say that the day is in the morning, and now what about you?"

The Bodhi Taoist on the sleeping chair pushed it, woke up, held the small wooden stick on the table in his hand, and knocked on the little master's head: "Xiao Yuanyuan, it's not big or small with the teacher again, okay, let it go here." ”

Xiao Yuanyuan covered his head and ran out, Huang Cong thought that the Bodhi Daoist would notice himself kneeling on the ground, but he just bypassed himself to the steaming basin.

Huang Cong was still waiting, thinking, "When I finish washing, I should come to ask myself." ”

After a while, the Bodhi Taoist finished washing, ignored Huang Cong and walked outside, listening to this shout, it should be to check the disciple to practice spells, now Huang Cong was embarrassed, not to go, not to go, after all, he has been kneeling from the third watch to the present.

In the end, Huang Cong decided to continue waiting, and said in his heart: "Sun Dasheng learned spells from you back then, and he has never been tested like this." ”

The Bodhi Taoist came in again after the inspection, Huang Cong straightened up when he heard the voice, but it was unexpected again, the Bodhi Taoist just took the book he read yesterday and continued to sit on the chair and read it.

An hour passed like this, Huang Cong's legs were numb to the extreme, and he finally called out from his mouth.

"Master, you asked the apprentice to come here yesterday on the third watch, and the apprentice has knelt down to the present, may I ask the master"

After Huang Cong's inquiry, the room was still quiet, and the Bodhi Taoist looked at the book in his hand without any abnormality, not even a slight movement.

"Could it be that yesterday's action was my mistake? It's just that the Bodhi Taoist unintentionally knocked three times?"

Huang Cong asked what he had just said again, and the situation was still the same. "It seems that he really can't hear me," Huang Cong stood up slowly on the ground, knelt for a night, suddenly stood up and made his legs tremble, slowly walked to the door, turned his head and looked at the Bodhi Taoist behind him, and walked out with a trace of unwillingness.

At this moment, Huang Cong, who was about to leave, heard the sound of banging on the table three times, just like yesterday, Huang Cong smiled and left.

At the third watch of the next day, the mountain gate was still hidden, Huang Cong came to the giant tree again, exhaled and walked in, although he had infinite hope in his heart, but as if it was yesterday, the Bodhi Taoist was still lying on the chair early, snoring between his noses.

He knelt on the ground again, just hoping that his sincerity would impress the Bodhi Taoist.

Early in the morning, Xiao Yuanyuan came in with a basin of hot water like yesterday, and called out to the master to wash his face, and when he left, Huang Cong clearly noticed that a small dimple appeared in the mouth of this Xiao Yuanyuan, and he was laughing, could it be

"No way, if they could see themselves, they would have questioned me as a stranger a long time ago, and there is no reason why everyone here would lie to me. ”

Huang Cong comforted himself and still waited, but all the scenes were exactly the same as yesterday, the only difference was that today was more than yesterday for an hour, and when he reached the limit again, Huang Cong had to stand up, rub his legs, and when he parted, he heard three more knocks.

In the microcosm of the world, Huang Cong found a high ground, sat cross-legged seriously, thought about what he had experienced in the past two days, and wanted to go back to the prophet immediately to ask for clarification, but if he missed today's covenant of the three watches, he was afraid that it was the intention of the Bodhi Taoist.

"But"

Although he ate Taishang Laojun's ten-turn golden pill, after all, Huang Cong had not long transformed from a mortal body, and although he couldn't starve to death for a while, he always felt that his stomach was empty, which was strange and uncomfortable.

At the third watch, this was the third time that Huang Cong came to the giant tree, and the mountain gate that came in seemed to be forever hidden, and he wanted to push open the door under the giant tree immediately, but he was afraid of the loss.

Under the blowing of the night breeze, the giant tree kept slapping the leaves, rattling, as if it was laughing at another futile return, Huang Cong said angrily at the giant tree: "Hmph, I will persevere." ”

That day, he knelt for nine hours.

That day, he knelt for eleven hours.

On that day, he knelt for fourteen hours.

On that day,

It was another three-watch appointment, Huang Cong stood on a high ground and looked at the moon in the sky, remembering that the first time he saw the moon, it was just the shape of a crescent moon, but he didn't expect it to become a round cake now.

There is still an hour to reach the third watch, Huang Cong did not have the impetuousness of the past, closed his eyes and waited quietly, the appearance of not eating for many days was not only not thin at the moment, but full of a sense of detachment. Looking at his more clean hands, he sighed: "Could it be that the undissolved essence in my body is slowly dissolving in my body?"

At this time, Huang Cong felt more and more that the actions of the Bodhi Taoist were meaningful, combined with the previous teachings of the prophet, Huang Cong sighed: "Learning magic, pay attention to the tranquility of the soul, do not be impatient, only let go of a qiē, to understand with the heart, can be successful, followed by patience, only with their own heart, impatient to understand, can see more long-term, do not be blinded by the illusion in front of the mind." ”

looked at the time, it was almost over, Huang Cong pushed open the hidden mountain gate, I don't know how many times he came to the giant tree, there was no knot in the past, and he walked in smoothly and knelt down.

Bodhi Daoist was still lying on the chair, but this time he didn't snore, but his eyes were wide, Huang Cong was happy in his heart, but his face was still light, so he knelt in the same place.

After a while, the Bodhi Taoist changed several postures and lay down in succession, still not agreeing, lit a larger candle, held a book in his hand, and peeked at Huang Cong several times through the corner of the book, although Huang Cong noticed it, but did not make any movements, and his posture remained stable.

At this moment, the Bodhi Taoist threw the book and shouted, "I can't hold back any longer, you kid is a rotten wood of rotten wood." ”

Huang Cong was overjoyed and asked, "Master, do you admit that you can see me and hear me?"

"I admit that I can see you and hear you, but when will I admit that I am your master?" said the Bodhi Taoist, as if he was very angry, his chest kept rising and falling.

Huang Cong said: "Master, before you officially accepted me, you taught the apprentice many factors necessary for learning spells. ”

"I also taught you the necessary elements to learn spells?" The Bodhi Daoist looked at Huang Cong kneeling below with wide eyes, looking curious.

"The master hinted for the first time that the apprentice came to the meeting, and the apprentice's heart was very happy at that time, but after he came, the master was like he didn't know the apprentice, which made the apprentice feel very disappointed, just like practicing magic, and couldn't rush it. Secondly, the master once again hinted that the apprentice would come to the third watch, but once again made the apprentice feel lost, in the same way, in the process of cultivation, we will encounter all kinds of tribulations, if we can keep persevering, the gold and stone will be sharpened more and more. ”

"Third, the countless times after that, the master ignored the apprentice, the apprentice was disappointed from the initial hope, and from the disappointment he was disappointed, and finally the apprentice understood, when the apprentice no longer paid attention to the surface, my heart can be regarded as the first step on the road of learning martial arts, some things have to be seen in the long run, don't be blinded by the illusion in front of you, there are peaks, valleys, and ups and downs on the road of cultivation. ”

So the master let the apprentice kneel all the time, in addition to self-cultivation, but also in the heart of the apprentice. After Huang Cong finished speaking, he looked at the Bodhi Taoist in front of him with a pair of big eyes, as if seeking advice.

The Bodhi Daoist didn't speak, took a deep breath, picked up the small wooden stick on the table and knocked it three times, and asked, "Do you know what one of my proudest apprentices did back then?"

Huang Cong thought about it and said modestly: "I don't know"

"Back then, I also asked him to come to the meeting, when he arrived, I deliberately pretended to be asleep, all the doors were hidden, just to facilitate him to come in, after this guy came, he saw that I was sleeping and woke me up directly with this small stick on the table. ”
