Chapter 2 Apprenticeship

In the main hall on the top of the mountain, an old man with immortal wind bones sat on the high platform in the center.

Xue Tianqing, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, stood under the stage and looked at the old man for a long time.

That's right, he crossed over, but it was not an accident, but the old man on the stage, that is, the master of the Immortal Mansion, Patriarch Bodhi, did it intentionally.

After a long time, Xue Tianqing took a deep breath: "Can you send me back?" ”

Seeing that Patriarch Bodhi was smiling and silent, Xue Tianqing said helplessly: "What do you want to do when you get me here?" ”

The patriarch chuckled and said, "You want to learn from a teacher, so you came to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, why do you want to go back now?" ”

Xue Tianqing's nose was almost crooked when she heard this: When did she want to learn art?

He held back his anger: "Didn't you say that immortals can change in a thousand ways? If you can change one for me, I will worship you as a teacher. But if you can't change it, then don't blame me...,"

Halfway through speaking, Xue Tianqing closed her mouth.

Because the ancestor on the high platform is gone, replaced by a peerless beauty who has captivated the country and the city, and even the Taoist robe has been transformed into a neon dress.

Seeing that the snow was sunny and silent for a long time, the woman made a heavenly voice: "How? ”

Knowing that the woman was an old man's illusion, Xue Tianqing couldn't help but swallow her saliva: "How did you do it?" ”

The woman lightly covered her lips and smiled charmingly: "Cultivating Taoist immortal methods, initial self-cultivation, and solidifying the roots." If you cultivate to a high level, you can change at will, and even turn the tangible into the invisible. When you escape the three disasters and eight tribulations, and cultivate a golden body, you will be able to live with heaven and earth, and the sun and moon will be the same. ”

Seeing that Xue Tianqing subconsciously swallowed her saliva again, the woman continued: "Are you willing to worship under the Bodhi Gate?" ”

Xue Tianqing looked at the woman and said, "Why? It takes so much effort to worship you as a teacher for me? ”

"When you enter the Bodhi Sect and attain the right fruits, you will understand everything."

At the same time, a voice appeared in Xue Tianqing's mind: If you want to go home, hurry up and apprentice!

Seeing a strange smile on the woman's face, Xue Tianqing hesitated for a long time, and finally knelt down and kowtowed: "Master is above, and I will be worshiped by my children." ”

The woman nodded and said, "Now that you have entered my door, you can no longer use the common family name, how about choosing a legal name for you for the teacher?" ”

Xue Tianqing knelt there and pinched her nose and said, "Obey the master's orders." ”

"There are 12 characters in our door: Guang, Da, Zhi, Hui, True, Ru, Sex, Hai, Ying, Wu, Yuan, and Jue. You are a disciple of the tenth generation, in that case, how about I name you Sun Wukong? ”

Xue Tianqing raised her head sharply when she heard this: "Where do you think I look like a monkey?" ”

The woman did not answer, but said to the disciples in the temple, "It's not early, you will go and prepare for the lunch class first." ”

Waiting for everyone to leave, the woman beckoned to Xue Tianqing: "Come forward and speak." ”

Xue Tianqing, who was under the high platform, got up and said, "It's close enough." ”

The woman smiled and waved her hand, and Xue Tianqing felt that her body was light, and when she reacted, she had landed on the high platform.

The woman stretched out her hand and tapped it, and a futon appeared at Xuetianqing's feet: "Sit." ”

Xue Tianqing sat on the futon: "Who the hell are you?" What is this place? Why do you want to take me as an apprentice? Also, what exactly did you bring me here for? ”

The woman laughed, "You let me answer that question?" ”

"Answer one by one, the first question, who are you?"

"This is the Bodhi Dojo, of course I am the Bodhi Patriarch."

Xue Tianqing looked at the woman again: "Are you a man or a woman?" ”

The woman smiled: "It's just a skin, what is a man or a woman." Born from the heart, if others see me as a man, I am a man; If others see me as a woman, I am a woman. ”

Xue Tianqing scratched her head: "Then you better change back, I'm not used to seeing it like this." ”

The woman smiled again: "This is not honest, you obviously want me to be like this, why do you want me to change back to just now?" Furthermore, it is not up to me to change back, but to you, and it lies in your own heart. Now your red dust breath is too heavy, so you will see me like this for a while after that. ”

Seeing that the snow was clear, the woman said: "When you first entered the hall, didn't you still think: how can you be a bad old man, how good it would be if you were a beautiful woman!" ”

Seeing Xue Tianqing looking at herself in surprise, the woman said, "The blood is strong, and some thoughts are normal. ”

"You mean I'm sexy?"

"Chromophobia, too, this is what one of your saints said."

Xue Tianqing was stunned: "Do you know what we are doing there?" ”

The woman smiled: "Naturally, the Dao law there is transmitted from this heaven and earth, but it is just a surface. It's a pity that even this fur technique now exists in name only. ”

Xue Tianqing frowned and said, "What do you mean, you mean that there were really legendary immortal spells on the earth before?" ”

"The battle between the Buddha and the Dao has destroyed the origin of heaven and earth, causing the aura to be cut off, and there is no longer any immortal magic there."

Speaking of this, the woman stood up and grabbed Xue Tianqing's wrist: "Close your eyes!" ”

When Xue Tianqing opened his eyes again, he found that he was standing in the void with the woman.

It's just that although the feet are empty, there is no difference between standing on the ground

Under the feet of the two, in addition to the endless earth, there are more than ten mountain peaks floating, which are like a fairyland against the backdrop of white clouds and blue sky.

The woman said softly: "This is our world, although there is abundant spiritual energy, there is also a hidden crisis. ”

"Here Buddhism and Taoism stand side by side, each based on one side, and does not interfere with each other. But since the golden cicada threw itself into the east from Lingshan, the balance of power is about to be broken, so that this world is in danger of following in the footsteps of your hometown. ”

Xue Tianqing muttered when he heard this: "Tang Seng was reincarnated, and then traveled west to learn scriptures." ”

The woman nodded: "Yes, it is the Sanzang True Scripture that he is going to bring back from Lingshan, which may destroy this world in one fell swoop!" ”

Xue Tianqing smiled: "Originally, they didn't interfere with each other, but now Buddhism not only inserts spies in the eastern land, but also prepares to use the Sanzang Sutra to seize the faith of the people." And you don't want to see this situation, so you want to stop learning from the scriptures, to put it bluntly, it's just to fight for territory, and it seems that the gods are nothing more than that. ”

The woman didn't pay attention to Xue Tianqing's sarcasm: "It's really smart, and it hits the nail on the head in a few words." In fact, the introduction of Buddhist scriptures into Middle-earth alone is nothing, but once the power of faith changes, the aura is unbalanced, and the world will change greatly. ”

Xue Tianqing was puzzled: "Then what are you looking for me for?" He also gave me the name of a monkey. ”

"You have to go to Lingshan with Tang Seng, he can send people to Middle-earth, and I can also send people to Lingshan. As for the name Monkey King, who told you that it was a monkey? ”

Xue Tianqing waved her hand and said, "Forget it, where do I have that ability?" I know best. ”

"You really don't have this ability, that's why you have to do penance under Bodhi. In fact, the person who went west was not you, but I accidentally brought the wrong person. Speaking of this, the woman was a little embarrassed.

"You're saying you're looking for the wrong person! In that case, send me back, and then get the person you fancy here? ”

The woman shook her head, "How can it be so easy to say?" If you want to return to your hometown, you must complete the great work of learning from the scriptures. Only in this way can we unite the power of Buddhism and open up a path to another world, do you understand? ”

Xue Tianqing frowned and said, "Why do you choose people from other worlds?" There are thousands of people here, why don't you just pick one? ”

"Because your name is not in Yama's book of life and death, you will know the stakes later."

Although the woman's words sounded reasonable, Xue Tianqing always felt as if she was hiding something, and wanted to ask, but was blocked by the sentence "Everything has a certainty".

"To prevent this from happening, I brought a man before you. It's a pity that although he went to Lingshan, he never completed what I delivered, and that person's name is Wu Chengen. ”

Seeing that Xue Tianqing was shocked, the woman chuckled again: "When you have achieved the Dao Fa, you will know all the truth." ”

"You mean that it is not the four masters and apprentices who really learn the scriptures, but also Wu Chengen?"

The woman smiled and shook her head: "I know that biography, part of the experience is just fabricated, it can't be true." Now that you don't have half of your cultivation, you know a lot, and there are all kinds of harms but no benefits. ”

Back in the main hall, Xue Tianqing still couldn't get out of the shock, he didn't expect Wu Chengen to come here.

It turns out that "Journey to the West" is not a novel, but a personal biography, just listening to the words of the ancestor, this biography is half-true and half-false.

Seeing that the patriarch called into Qingyue and asked him to take him back to the place where he had already arranged, Xue Tianqing's heart moved.

"Since Wu Chengen and Tang Seng have arrived at Lingshan, it means that the true scriptures have been obtained, in that case, why do you want me to go again?"

Patriarch Bodhi shook his head and said, "This happened in the past, do you understand? ”

"You have a glimpse of the future, and you know that Wu Chengen has not fulfilled your request, so you are ready to change people. If I go to the western heavens in his place, what will be his fate? Will everything that happened be rewritten? ”

The patriarch shook his head and said, "What happened is what happened, how can it be changed?" Qingyue, take your uncle to rest first, and take him to the Taiji Hall tomorrow to listen to my lecture. ”

Seeing that the snow was clear and stepping out, the patriarch said again: "Wukong, after Wu Chengen arrived at Lingshan, he combined the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism to cultivate, and opened the two world passages to return to his hometown. If you want to return to your hometown as soon as possible, you need to work harder, lest you be a mess when you go back. ”

Xue Tianqing turned her head to look at the Bodhi Patriarch who had incarnated as a woman: "Can you not call me Wukong?" I'm a human, not a monkey. ”

The snowy courtyard is a stone's throw away from the main hall, and although it is not large, it is all available.

In the middle of the courtyard is a flower bed, and there are several fruit trees around, one of which is already full of fruits, looking at the red fruits, Xue Tianqing can't help but swallow his saliva.

I don't know if it's because of the apprenticeship, Qingyue's attitude towards Xue Tianqing has changed greatly, from looking down to looking up.

On the way back, not only did he greet him with a smile, but he also knew everything.

However, as a third-generation disciple, Qingyue has limited knowledge, so Xue Tianqing still can't get answers to many things.

Qingyue told Xue Tianqing that she had been preparing this courtyard for three days in order to wait for him to arrive.

After explaining the things that need attention to Xue Tianqing, Qingyue was ready to leave.

Unexpectedly, Xue Tianqing looked at Qingyue's bulging chest and said curiously: "Didn't you say that the Dharma pays attention to meditation, how did you practice all your chest muscles?" ”

After speaking, he stretched out his index finger and nodded a little towards Qingyue's chest.
