Chapter 107: Night
Jiang Chen hesitated for a few seconds, then stood up gently, put on his dark robe, and walked out of the door.
The paths of Sanxingdong are very quiet, and on weekdays, some disciples often go stargazing in the middle of the night, or take a walk to study the scriptures. But today, there is no one.
Jiang Chen knew that it must have been the Bodhi Patriarch who used some method to get rid of everyone's attention, and now the silence on the path confirmed that it must be the Patriarch who was recruiting him.
So, he went from the path to the Yaotai where the patriarch was, and when he arrived at the yaotai, there was no one on the yaotai, but the small door of the courtyard where the patriarch lived was half-hidden.
This......
All of a sudden, Jiang Chen was completely confirmed. This patriarch really has something to do with himself!
But what is the matter? Is it really like Brother Monkey, who wants to take himself as an apprentice and teach himself seventy-two changes?
But even Brother Monkey didn't have such a thing until seven years later. Why was he called here after only half a month?
He paused slightly, then entered the door.
Looking in from the courtyard, a gray-haired figure was sitting on a chair at this moment, shaking a feather fan in his right hand, as if waiting for something.
Jiang Chen's heart suddenly became nervous.
He knew that it was Patriarch Bodhi! However, he didn't know how to talk to him. After all, it was probably what he imagined, Sect Leader Lingbao Tianzun!
In the heavens and all worlds, it is also the supreme existence of cultivation.
Even Jiang Chen wasn't sure if the Ten Thousand Realms chat group could hide this Lingbao Heavenly Venerable...... Could it be because he noticed the Ten Thousand Worlds chat group on his body that he let himself come over?
Jiang Chen didn't talk, just waited quietly.
And in the heart of the Bodhi Patriarch, he couldn't help but praise again.
Yes, it was the Bodhi Patriarch who brought Jiang Chen over with the wonderful method. He already knew that Jiang Chen would inevitably come tonight when he was inspired, but he didn't expect that Jiang Chen would be able to hold himself down when he came here, and he didn't come up directly to ask.
It seems that this son's temperament is really extraordinary! Even if he gets the interception of the sect back then, I am afraid that only a few disciples can compare with him. For example...... His own big apprentice Duobao.
Yes, in the body of this little monkey Jiang Chen, Patriarch Bodhi actually saw a little bit of the shadow of the Duobao Daoist back then.
Patriarch Bodhi calmed down, and after a long while, he opened his mouth and said:
"Difficult, difficult, difficult! The Tao is the most mysterious, don't wait for Jin Dan to be idle. If you don't meet someone to pass on the trick, empty words and dry tongue!"
The patriarch said this, which made Jiang Chen suddenly stand up subconsciously.
"Patriarch ......"
"Jiang Chen. ”
The patriarch stood up and draped his robe on his body: "Go out for a walk with me." ”
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned when he saw this. Originally, he thought that the Bodhi Patriarch would have to say something like the original "Journey to the West" like the original book, "This monkey! You don't go to sleep in front, but what are you doing behind me?" or something like that, but he didn't expect that the patriarch didn't seem to have any intention of playing monkey play with him.
“...... Be. ”
Jiang Chen pressed the doubts in his heart.
If Patriarch Bodhi wants to come by himself, there must be some deep meaning. But what is it exactly?
If it's to let yourself apprentice, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be so bothersome. Could it be that you want to open a small stove for yourself like Brother Monkey?
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel more and more that it was likely to be the case. Not to mention anything else, first of all, the "Shangqing Cave Xuanjing" should already be a small stove opened by the Bodhi Patriarch for himself.
But no matter what, it doesn't matter, it's here anyway, there's no point in guessing anything, just wait and see.
So Jiang Chen followed behind Patriarch Bodhi.
The two of them walked out of the door one after the other, and strolled under the Qionglou Yuyu in the night.
Soon, walking out of countless pavilions and crossing a mountain peak, two people stood on the high platform of the mountain cliff.
Looking up at the night sky, there are countless stars. The breeze is coming, and the moonlight is like water.
"Jiang Chen, do you know what 'Bodhi' means?" asked the patriarch.
Jiang Chen heard the words and said: "Bodhi, enlightened, clear mind. It is the term used in Western interpretation. ”
"Not bad. ”
Patriarch Bodhi smiled and nodded in praise: "It seems that you have not wasted your time in the library these days. Do you know why I use the name Bodhi?"
Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
He hadn't really thought about it.
It stands to reason that if the Bodhi Patriarch is Lingbao Tianzun, what he should hate the most is Western Buddhism. So in that case, how can it be called Bodhi Patriarch?
Of course, this does not mean that Bodhi can only be used by Buddhism. Especially judging from a literary point of view, the Bodhi Patriarch in Journey to the West is the Dharma name of "Buddhism", the dress of "Taoism", and the style of "Confucianism". It represents the unity of the three religions.
But after all, the reality is not, so in this case, it is really a little difficult to understand why Patriarch Bodhi used this Dharma name.
"I don't know. Jiang Chen replied.
I thought that Patriarch Bodhi would answer for himself next, and by the way, let myself understand the deep meaning or something......
But I didn't expect:
In that case, then you can find the answer yourself. ”
Patriarch Bodhi only said this sentence, and he did not obsess over this question anymore.
This......
Jiang Chen was confused.
This Bodhi Patriarch, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
However, before Jiang Chen could continue to react, Patriarch Bodhi's words shocked him again:
"Jiang Chen, I called you over this time because I have something for you to do. ”
I saw that the patriarch changed his words, and suddenly said: "A few days ago, a person who called himself a golden cicada came to ask for the Tao outside the mountain gate. But he has a shallow nature, a despicable talent, and is a person who has no fate. I have no interest in teaching him. So, it's up to you to replace me and be the teacher of the golden cicada. ”
“......”
What?
Jiang Chen was dumbfounded.
I thought that Patriarch Bodhi asked him to come over to teach him what seventy-two changes, thirty-six methods and so on. Outcome......
It turned out to be a teacher for Jin Chanzi!?
This......
Jin Chanzi, isn't that Tang Seng?
A few days ago, when Jin Chanzi begged for the Tao, Jiang Chen thought that it had nothing to do with him. As a result, in the blink of an eye, it suddenly changed?
Wait, if he becomes Tang Seng's teacher, then in the future, if Brother Monkey worships Tang Seng as a teacher when he travels to the west...... This......
No, I always feel weird.
Moreover, Patriarch Bodhi actually felt that Jin Chanzi was "shallow, with poor talent, and a person without good fortune......
Even if you say this, it shouldn't be Lingbao Tianzun to say it, if the Bodhi Patriarch is the Yuan Shi Tianzun, then there is nothing against the peace.
Could it be that Patriarch Bodhi deliberately wanted to fool the Buddhas, or was there some other profound meaning?
Jiang Chen was stunned.
