In the dark, everything seems to be certain.

The "natural stone monkey" of 300 years ago has finally arrived.

......

In just an instant, the young man could sense that the breath on this golden retriever monkey was owned by the "strange stone" he cultivated together on Huaguo Mountain back then.

At this moment, most of the power of the "blood mist" that was absorbed and fused back then was still latent in the stone monkey's body and failed to be stimulated.

"It turned into a stone monkey. A smile tipped into the young man's mouth.

Volleying, he soon came to the sky not far above the stone monkey.

After a little thought, the young man's body was in a trance, and he had already turned into a woodcutter and landed in a deep forest.

With a shake of his hand, he conjured an axe, and the young man sang loudly while cutting wood, saying: "Watching the chess is rotten, the logging is dingding, and the cloud side valley mouth is Xu Xing." Selling salaries and drinking, laughing wildly and cultivating himself. The path is high in autumn, and the pine roots of the moon pillow are bright in the sky. Recognize the old forest, climb the cliff and cross the ridge, and break the withered vine with an axe. Harvest into a load, in the song market, easy rice three liters. There is no competition, and the price is mediocre. will not be cunning, no honor and disgrace, and will prolong life calmly. Where they meet, they are not immortals, and they sit quietly and talk about Huang Ting......"

This ballad is a poem "Man Tingfang" that he inadvertently recalled when he was a guest at Wuzhuang Temple in Wanshou Mountain.

I don't know who the original work is, but after Zhen Yuanzi listened to it, he composed a song for this song and made it into a ballad.

When the two talked about the scriptures, they would occasionally sing this song, which was used as a pastime.

......

The song was loud and soon reached the ears of the stone monkeys who were still wandering in the distance.

"Fairy ......"

The stone monkey listened carefully, and suddenly scratched his ears and cheeks with joy.

Climbing trees and branches, leaping quickly in the forest, the stone monkeys follow the song.

Soon, he was near the woodcutter who had changed young people.

"Old immortal, please accept your disciples as apprentices!"

When the monkey came near, he immediately bowed his head and kowtowed to the young man.

For some reason, when he saw this "woodcutter", he immediately felt a sense of intimacy.

"Huh...... Where did the old fairy come from? You monkey, don't worship around. ”

The young man put down his axe and pinched his short beard under his chin.

At this moment, his heart was also slightly excited.

Hundreds of years of cultivating with the "Strange Stone", the Strange Stone learned various exercises from him, helped him absorb the power of the blood mist in the huge blood ball, and successfully survived the crisis brought by the Golden Light Gu, and other scenes, all of which appeared in his mind one by one.

"The disciple just listened to the old immortal singing, 'Where you meet, you are not an immortal, sit quietly and talk about Huang Ting. "This is not the Tao of the Immortals, what is it?" The disciples sincerely learn the art of Taoism, and they also ask the old immortals to accept their disciples as apprentices! Please ask the old immortals to accept their disciples as disciples!"

The monkey bowed to the ground and said in a continuous voice.

With a smile on the corner of the young man's mouth, he accepted the monkey's three bows with peace of mind, and then spoke again: "In this mountain range, there are indeed immortals living in seclusion. But not here...... You go forward from here, and you climb over five mountains, where there is a 'Lingtai Fangcun Mountain', and there is a 'Bodhi Patriarch' in the mountain, and he can take you as an apprentice!"

With that, the young man's body gradually blurred and disappeared from the monkey's eyes.

"Thank you, thank you, the gods!"

The monkey sprang to its feet and bowed excitedly to the place where the young man had disappeared.

The young man's clone did not actually leave, but quietly released the power of the void and wrapped the monkey inside.

At the same time, the young man's deity hidden in the three-star cave of the slanting moon also put away the exercises he was practicing, got up and came to the dojo where he usually taught the children and grandchildren of the disciples.

Speaking of which, his deity has been for more than a hundred years, and he has not left the core of Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, the "Three-Star Cave of the Oblique Moon".

In the past hundred years, even when Wang Shan came back, all he could see was his Saint Realm Tiangang clone.

Silently, the Tiangang clone sitting upright above the dojo was replaced, and the young man himself began to teach a kind of disciple and grandson.

Talk about the Tao for a while, talk about the Dharma for a while, and talk about the magic of Buddhism for a while...... However, most of the young man's thoughts had already been placed on the stone monkey who was rapidly approaching here.

......

Three days later, the monkey finally came to the range of Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

A Taoist boy was named, and the young man told him to leave the dojo and bring the stone monkey over.

At this time, the treasure in Fangcun Mountain is brilliant, and the fairy court and Qiongge are all over the place, and it is no longer what it was originally built.

The monkey followed the Taoist boy all the way, jumping around with joy, and kept asking this and that.

Dao Tong could probably feel the importance of the patriarch to the monkeys, and patiently explained along the way, instructing some rules in Fangcun Mountain.

Soon, a man and a monkey came to the dojo.

When he arrived, the monkey put away his usual hippie smile, came to the young man in a proper manner, and bowed down.

After a simple inquiry, the young man sitting on the futon said with a smile: "Yes, Dongsheng Shenzhou is here, across the vast sea, you can find this place alone, but I am afraid that you have also suffered a lot." ”

"Thank you for the care of the patriarch, the disciple sincerely learns the Tao, and a little suffering is nothing. ”

The monkey raised its head slightly, and his eyes flashed with joy.

"Well, that's good...... What's your last name?" asked the young man with a smile.

"I'm sexless. If someone scolds me, I won't be annoyed, and if they beat me, I won't be angry, just a courtesy, and I have no sex all my life. The monkey scratched his head and bowed to the young man again.

The young man laughed, "I'm asking if you have a last name, what's your name?"

The monkey scratched his head and replied honestly: "The disciple has no father or mother, and he is a natural stone monkey in Huaguo Mountain. To this day, there is not a single name. ”

"Hmm. The young man nodded slightly, and then continued: "Since you worship me as a teacher, then I will take a name with you...... I think you look like a monkey, so I take 'Sun' as my surname.

There are 12 characters under my disciple, respectively, 'vast wisdom, true as the sea of nature, Ying Wu Yuanjue', to you, just a 'enlightenment' word...... You have no father or mother, you are born of heaven and earth, and you are just a 'empty' word. So, from now on, how about you call 'Monkey King'?"

At the end, the young man smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at the stone monkey kneeling below.

These twelve characters were also taken by his eldest apprentice, Wang Shan, after asking him for instructions.

Young people have not paid much attention to this.

It is said that if the stone monkey is counted in the "enlightenment" generation, it should be his ninth-generation disciple grandson.

But young people don't care about that. Stone monkey, he must teach it himself!

"Monkey King, Monkey King...... Thank you Master for the name!" the stone monkey faced the young man, knocked his head nine times in a row, and then turned over and jumped up.

"I have a name! I'm Sun Wukong, I have a name! hahahaha......"

Sun Wukong turned over more than a dozen times in a row on the dojo, with a pair of black and white eyes, slightly red with excitement.
