Chapter 15: Naming the Monkey, Invitation to the Dragon Palace!
Unexpectedly, more than a year has passed unconsciously.
Zhou Xuan was also quite emotional, time passed too fast.
"For the sake of the teacher's preaching and karma, you can be regarded as having some Taoist skills, and you can be regarded as satisfying me, but-"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's tone, he was stunned.
The monkey was nervous, and he was worried that he was not doing well enough to make the master angry.
Although he studied very hard, he was diligent day and night, forgetting to sleep and eat, but the prestige of the master in his heart can be described as transcendent.
Even a cough, a sigh, or an inadvertent movement will make the monkey pay attention.
So when he heard the words, the monkey was a little frightened and a little panicked.
Sensing that the monkey was nervous, Zhou Xuan smiled: "You don't have to be frightened, it's not that the teacher is dissatisfied with you, it's just that after coming to this Taixu Tian, three meals a day, eating all the fruits of the trees and swimming fish in the water, it's just a little regretful." ”
"Huh?"
The monkey was stunned.
He didn't expect that the master was actually sighing for food, which surprised him a little.
After all, in his mind, the master can be said to be an immortal who sits on the cloud platform and transmits the Tao to nature, and for such an immortal character, the monkey should feel that he will not care too much about eating.
However, the master is different from the great immortal in his fantasy.
Knowing what the monkey was thinking, Zhou Xuanle said: "The people take food as the sky, and it is normal for people to satisfy their appetites, even if they are immortals and saints, they will also covet the spiritual root wine, the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, is it not for the teacher to covet the desire for oral mouth, let you down?" ”
Zhou Xuan half-jokingly.
But in fact, he knows that generally speaking, if a teacher is too high-minded, it is easy to give people fear and timidity.
Appropriately revealing some of his own small shortcomings, but he can well narrow the distance between him and his disciples, giving people a sense of closeness.
Lately he had felt more and more that the monkey had been in awe of him so much that he had become humbled before him.
That's not really a good thing.
A true master and apprentice is to maintain a certain sense of distance, but not too far away.
So Zhou Xuan didn't hide this, but said it directly.
The monkey nodded, and was soon convinced.
Master was a heavenly immortal before, and he ate dragon liver and phoenix marrow, elixir and jade liquid, and in order to preach to him, he actually endured a year of dusty vegetables and mud rice in Taixu Tian, which really touched him.
And the hardships he endured with this little effort were nothing compared to the burden that the master suffered.
Suddenly, the monkey found that the master was not only ten thousand feet tall, but also had the stars shining brightly, and it seemed more and more sacred.
"Master!"
"Shame on you!"
The monkey was moved by the tip of his nose and bowed directly to Zhou Xuan.
And Zhou Xuan is light and light, he knows this kind of thing, point to point, don't go too far, otherwise it will be very embarrassing.
After all, he had also encountered excessive sensationalism in his previous life.
I often recall that in junior high school, the school would invite a social figure with excellent eloquence to give a speech in front of the whole school, telling the students how difficult it is for teachers and parents to be parents, and let the students in the audience thank the teachers and parents.
Every time, the underage students can burst into tears, tears of gratitude, and some even kneel in front of their parents to cry and cry, vowing to study hard and glorify their ancestors.
But in fact, after this kind of speech, students should skip class, they should go online, and there will be no change at all.
On the contrary, it was the very eloquent social person, but the book sold a lot.
Therefore, you can sensationalize, but don't overdraw the effect of sensationalism, so as not to heat up for three minutes.
Just let the monkey write it down.
The more I feel inadequate, the more guilty the students feel, and the more they can be angry in their hearts to repay the teacher's kindness.
If you want someone to work hard, you don't have to take a whip to catch up, but to let the other person have a drive from the heart.
is so sensational, so as not to annoy people.
He waved his hand and said lightly: "It's okay, it's just a year, and Xiao Sun shouldn't have a loss in his heart, so as not to affect the Dao heart." ”
After that, Zhou Xuan found that he hadn't given his apprentice a good name yet, and it was not easy to call him.
A year ago, I came up with a name called "Xiao Sun", purely for convenience, and I didn't think too much about it, the reason is actually similar to naming my own cat and dog.
But now that it's familiar, it doesn't feel like it's appropriate to call it that way.
"Hmmm......"
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Xuan said: "You have been sitting under me for a year, and you have neither a Taoist name nor a name, so let's give you a new name for the teacher!" ”
"Please also give the name of Master!"
The monkey's eyes lit up suddenly, he didn't have anything to complain about the previous name, he just felt that the name of the master was too arbitrary, and he didn't think that the master would mention it again.
Since the master has said that he has changed his name, he is naturally happy to see it come to fruition.
It's just that the monkey is suspicious of this.
Although the master's supernatural powers are peerless, and the Dao Law is famous in the world, he may not be able to take a well-known name.
So he was a little apprehensive in his heart, lest Shizun take another name like 'Da Hu' and 'Ah Monkey'.
Zhou Xuan only thought about it for a moment, and then gave the answer.
"I have three names, you can choose one of your own."
Well?
Three names?
The monkey's jaw dropped.
Master, I haven't thought about it at all.
Licking his lips, the monkey was terrified, because he felt that the master's skill in choosing a name was really a little ungood.
But fortunately, there are three options, no matter what, at least some of the options, it is impossible for all three names to be so unbearable.
Thinking like this, the monkey said with a bitter face, "Master, what are the three names?" ”
He only hoped that these three names were not casually thought of by the master when he was in a daze.
And Zhou Xuan was really confident, and slowly spoke: "These three names all have big origins, you listen well!"
The first name is for the Walker Sun! ”
"Huh?"
The monkey tilted its head, and for a while there would be countless slots to spit out, the name ...... Feeling a little wrong?
"Master, does this name have any meaning?"
"No," Zhou Xuan admitted truthfully, "Xingzhi Sun is a pseudonym given to himself by the monkey Monkey King in ancient times, which means that his path of cultivation is bumpy and arduous, and he must treat his cultivation with the attitude of a practitioner, and he can also be called Xingsun, Sun Xing, and Xingsun ......"
The monkey was dumbfounded.
How can Master choose a name so casually.
It's not a good name.
“…… If you don't like it, keep the names as a backup. ”
Hearing this, the monkey breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Zhou Xuan's voice sound again, "The second name is called the Six Little Spirit Boys!" ”
"Uh......"
The monkey pursed his lips, a little indescribable.
Spirit child?
How does this sound similar to that of a boy under the sign of Immortal.
It's not forced at all.
"Master, this name, could it be that he is also a certain innate spirit monkey in ancient times, and he is one of my predecessors?"
"Almost." Zhou Xuan nodded slightly.
However, this name is not suitable for this monkey head, after all, when this name is mentioned, it is easy to think of that grandfather, and his old man crossed over and became his apprentice, no matter how you think about it, it feels very disagreeable.
It's not appropriate, it's still inappropriate.
After thinking about it, Zhou Xuan had no choice but to sacrifice the last name.
"Since you don't like the first two very much, then you can call Wukong, before you called you Xiaosun, Sun is your surname, and your full name is Sun Wukong."
"Goku... Monkey king. ”
Suddenly, the name flashed like a thunderbolt, hitting the monkey's heart with unmistakable precision, and his heart was shocked.
For some reason, the three words "Monkey King" seem to have a magic power, which makes him never forget it when he hears it, like Huang Zhong Dalu, constantly echoing in his mind.
It seems that from the moment he was born, he was Sun Wukong!
Sun Wukong is the name that accompanies him for the rest of his life!
The previous 'Xing Shi Sun' and the 'Six Little Spirit Boys' were completely forgotten by him.
Only this name made him unforgettable.
For a moment, he froze.
"You seem to be happy with the name, well, yes, then I'll give you this name!"
Zhou Xuan said.
Anyway, he can't think of a better name, so let's let his disciples be Monkey King, anyway, they are all monkeys, there is no difference.
And the name Monkey King is also more convenient to call.
It's a good fit.
"Master Xie gave the name!"
The monkey named Wukong unconsciously clenched his fists, and a trace of throbbing inexplicably appeared in his body.
He didn't know why he was so excited about a name!
named his disciple, and Zhou Xuan felt that he was also a lot more comfortable when he shouted: "Wukong." ”
"The disciple is here!"
"Since you are used to carrying one mountain, then the next training will be changed to two......" Zhou Xuan smiled, now he arranged the monkey course, and he became more and more comfortable.
……
In the following half month, Goku began to train more rigorously.
Although the difficulty increased, the monkey did not complain in the slightest, because he knew that the master's strictness to him was to make him stronger faster!
In addition to cultivation, the monkey is also seriously considering how to improve his diet.
Eating wild fruits on weekdays, catching rabbits in the mountains and going to the sea to catch fish, not to mention the boring food of a god like Master, even he feels that he is a bird.
It's just that he practiced diligently that he didn't pay much attention to it.
Goku then goes to the brown bear monster and asks if he has anything more delicious.
When the brown bear monster heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand to indicate that it was wrapped around him.
Recently, after the guidance of the monkey, he finally broke through the bottleneck and stepped into the realm of refining the Void and Void Combination Dao, and he was about to thank him.
So he immediately set up a table of feasts to entertain Goku
But when the latter saw a table of bloody beast elbows, bird meat that had not been cleaned of bird feathers, and those carnivorous wild fruits that could not be named, he immediately shook his head again and again.
Don't talk about these foods for the master, even if he looks at it, he frowns.
"I said, old bear, is there no more delicious food?"
The brown bear monster was stunned when he heard it: "Brother Monkey, can't you have such a sumptuous food?" ”
He wasted his boss's effort to get the demon birds and game, which is definitely the freshest.
Wukong listened and waved his hand again and again: "My grandson still expects to take a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas to honor the master, how can these things be done?" ”
"It turned out to be a ...... of honoring Master"
The brown bear monster immediately grasped the point in the words.
He knew that behind Brother Monkey, there was a mysterious master who had been teaching him the Dao method, which made Brother Monkey's progress more than ten times faster than him.
At the same time, there was also a vision in his heart, that is, he could also worship under that master and become an official disciple.
However, he knew that this was just a matter of thinking, immortals accepting disciples were looking at the source of great blessings and opportunities, and they would not accept disciples casually.
The brown bear monster said: "Brother Monkey, of course, the wild fruits and wild food I have here can't enter the eyes of the master, but I know that there is a good place where there is endless food!" ”
Hearing this, the monkey said with a happy face: "Come and listen!" ”
"This Western Immortal Sea, of course, is ......"
Before the brown bear monster could speak, he heard a thunderclap outside the cave.
The sound of dragons falling from the clouds in the sky.
At the same time, a thick voice spread thousands of miles!
"I am the Tenglong King of Golden Turtle Island, and the brown bear Taoist friend will come out to see it!"
