Thick rock walls, hollow windows. The light that came through the window was like a slanted transparent pillar that stood inside the temple.

The four walls are bluestone, the floor is wooden, and two bronze crane sculptures are placed on each side of the main hall, and in the center, there is an incense burner.

The incense burned silently in the furnace, and a wisp of white smoke floated up and scattered everywhere.

Further back, there is a low table, a green lamp, and a futon. The old man sitting on the futon was the old man in the teahouse when the monkey and the hoarfrost met that day.

At this time, he was holding his pen and bowing his head to write something silently, intermittently tilting his head slightly, thinking.

The door of the main hall opened, and the young man who was transformed from the eagle outside walked in quickly, knelt in the middle of the main hall on his knees, and said loudly: "Disciple Shaoying, meet the master!"

After that, he bowed deeply.

"Get up. ”

"Master Xie. With another kowtow, Shaoying stood up.

Putting down the pen in his hand, Su Bodhi looked at Shaoying and said, "Why did you come back suddenly?"

"Something happened to the demon, the situation is more complicated, I'm afraid I can't tell it by letter, so I came back directly. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Some time ago, the four princesses of the East China Sea, Ao, listened to the custom of paying tribute, but was detained by the big prime minister, and wanted to force the Dragon Palace to submit and adjust trade. After that, the battle between all parties in the demon capital suddenly escalated, but it was only in secret. But last night, something big happened. ”

"Big deal?" Su Bodhi's gaze slowly narrowed into a slit.

"Yes. The nine-headed insect entered the demon capital. ”

Hearing this, Su Bodhi couldn't help but laugh: "What is he doing in the demon capital?"

After a little hesitation, Shaoying said softly: "It seems that it is to test the truth of the rumors." A few months ago, the demon capital had already spread that Emperor Jun's longevity was about to end, and now he was out to seek a chance to continue his life, and he was no longer in the Moyu Imperial City. Demon Emperor Jun has not been in the dynasty for a hundred years, and everything is the final say of the prime minister, although from time to time there are holy decrees covered with the seal of Emperor Jun, but all parties have long been dissatisfied. As soon as this news came out, all parties were ready to make a move, trying to bring down the multi-eyed monster. ”

At this point, Su Bodhi's brows couldn't help frowning slowly, and he asked with half-squinted eyes: "Emperor Jun is the emperor of the demon clan, just like the Taishang Laojun of Heavenly Court. He is about to end his life, and the first thing that the demons think of is to bring down the multi-eyed monster?"

"Exactly. Shaoying replied categorically.

Su Bodhi sighed lightly, nodded and said, "I know for the teacher, and then what?"

Then all parties continued to question and asked to see Di Jun in person, but the many strange people thought that there was no trick, so they directly tore their faces and wanted to suppress the opponents from all sides. The Dragon Palace trade is one of them. Last night, the nine-headed insect somehow broke through the defenses and infiltrated the demon capital, and used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain to lure away the multi-eyed monster, and the doppelganger went straight to the Moyu Imperial City. ”

"The end result?"

"In the end, the nine-headed insect entered the Moyu Imperial City, and the ten martial guards made a move and directly cut off one of the heads of the nine-headed insect. The hydra was wounded and fled from the demon capital. According to the disciples, Di Jun is not in the palace, and the Ten Martial Guards should know best. Although according to the law, the ten martial guards cannot step out of the Moyu Imperial City, but as long as Emperor Jun has a warrant, this ring can be broken at any time, and it is impossible to let the nine-headed insect enter the Moyu Imperial City. From this point of view, the fact that Di Jun is not in the palace can be regarded as a reality. ”

Su Bodhi thought about it with half-squinted eyes, and asked casually: "The multi-eyed monster has fallen into the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and the ten martial guards can't step out of the imperial city to stop it without the emperor's warrant, so what is the demon king stationed in the demon capital doing?"

"The macaque king didn't make a move, and the Yu marmoset king sent troops to seal all the exits of the demon capital, leaving all the residents who were originally going to flee in the city. So, now everyone knows about it. I heard that the multi-eyed monster had already taken care of itself, so he gave an order early in the morning and sent away the detained four princesses of the East China Sea, Ao Tingxin. Hey, in fact, if it wasn't deliberately done by the Yu Tamarin King who guarded the demon capital, how could the nine-headed insect enter the demon capital so easily...... According to the disciples, in the matter of the nine-headed insect, I am afraid that the six demon kings will throw stones to ask for directions. ”

Subodhi suddenly asked, "Six?"

"Huh?"

"As a teacher, is it asking, are all six involved?"

"This ...... The disciple couldn't tell. As she spoke, Shaoying lowered her head slightly.

Holding his long beard, Su Bodhi took a deep breath and said, "Okay, the teacher knows this matter in his heart." ”

As he spoke, the door opened again.

This time, it was a Taoist boy who came in. I only heard the boy leaning over and kowtowing: "Master, there is a monkey demon outside the door, and I want to learn from the teacher." ”

"Monkey demon? Shaoying smiled: "It seems that what I just saw is not only the monkey demon, but also the pig demon, the cow demon, the chicken demon, and the rat demon." ”

"No, it's just a monkey demon. ”

"Got it, let him in. Subodhi said softly.

......

The door slammed open.

The boy made a "please" gesture sideways and said, "Master, please come in and speak." ”

Suddenly, not only the monkeys, but even the demons squatting in the grass in the distance couldn't help but widen their eyes one by one and were overjoyed.

The monkey quickly stood up, took three steps and ran to the door.

"Go in and talk, are you willing to take it?"

The Taoist glanced at the monkey with disdain, and said, "You must decide whether to accept it or not after seeing it, have you ever worshipped the teacher?"

The monkey had to scratch his head in embarrassment, thinking about it and feeling wrong.

"What you said is strange, if I have visited the teacher, how can I still come to the teacher?"

The boy ignored him, turned around and walked into the view.

The monkey hurried to follow.

Along the way, the monkey followed the Taoist through two gates, climbed the stone steps, and walked through a long corridor.

The Taoist temple embedded in the mountain, the layout inside is really strange. Unlike other Taoist temples, there are empty squares and courtyards, where there are only stone walls throughout, but there are windows every few steps. The light penetrating from the outside illuminates the inside mottled, there are light and dark, and the moss growing on the steps and corners is reflected, which is quite a bit of the feeling of the Demon King's Cave, and it is also another flavor.

Along the way, the monkeys see everything fresh and excited.

This was introduced to him after his first apprenticeship.

The demon clan, although the overall number of people is comparable to that of humans, but it is divided into countless clans inside. Honestly, it's not easy to meet a real person. Because of this, human monks like to set up sects, and they collect disciples, but most of them don't like them.

Normally, what can be found in the mortal world is a human sect. But the demon clan is still at war with the heavenly court, how can humans be willing to take monsters as disciples?

This is also one of the reasons why the monkey has not been able to worship the teacher for more than ten years.

Soon, the two came to the front of the main hall.

When the door slowly opened, Su Bodhi's eyes slowly narrowed into a slit in the hall, and he looked at the monkey.

The monkey grinned and walked quickly to the center of the hall, glanced at Shaoying who was standing on the side and smiled, it was considered to have said hello, and then knelt on his knees, which was three rings.

"Meet the master!"

After shouting, he straightened up, looked at Subodhi, and smiled.

The joy was beyond words, but Shaoying, who was standing on the side, did not smile. Subodhi, who was sitting opposite, didn't even smile.

The hall was so quiet that you could hear the monkeys' breathing clearly.

Time passed bit by bit, and Subodhi just sat there, looking at the monkey with a blank face, and did not speak.

Gradually, the monkey seemed to realize something, and the smile on his face disappeared, and he looked at Su Bodhi. But Subodhi still didn't speak.

Probably because he was injured, overtired, and overexcited. As soon as the excitement passed, the monkey began to break out in a cold sweat.

From time to time, he began to wipe the sweat from his forehead with the sleeves of his coat.

Time is still ticking.

Subodhi still didn't speak, just looked at the monkey quietly.

Probably because the nerves that had been tense all the way suddenly relaxed, and in the end, the monkey began to feel a little dizzy, and everything in front of him was a little blurry.

It was only at this time that Su Bodhi beckoned to the monkey and said, "Come here." ”

With these two simple words, the monkey suddenly raised his spirit again: "Yes, master!"

As he spoke, he quickly got up and walked over, kneeling on the opposite side of the table.

"I took off my shirt. ”

"Huh,...... Why?"

"If the master asks you to take it off, you will take it off. ”

Shaoying snorted, and the monkey nodded hurriedly, and took off his shirt by dividing it by two, revealing a body of monkey hair.

"Turn your back. ”

The monkey hurriedly did so.

Su Bodhi slowly stood up with the table in his hand, reaching out to pull the hair behind the monkey's back, as if he was looking for something.

Shaoying on the side also looked at it with half-squinted eyes.

After a while, Su Bodhi sighed lightly and sat back. There seems to be some disappointment.

"Put your clothes on. ”

"Oh. The monkey hurriedly put on his clothes briefly, shrunk his head, and knelt down. Bowing his head slightly, he looked at Subodhi with wide eyes.

Lifting the pen, Su Bodhi began to write again, and said casually: "You said that you want to learn from a teacher, what do you want to learn?"

At this question, the monkey was a little flustered.

The monkey blinked and thought about it, and said, "I want to learn to fly away!"

"Oh, just fly away?"

"Also, stick method, fight the heavenly soldiers!"

"Oh?

"And then, and then ......," the monkey thought for a moment, patted his chest and shouted, "Do a great job!"

Su Bodhi looked up at the monkey and smiled, "What about specifically?"

This time, the monkey couldn't answer at all.

After watching the monkey hesitate for a long time, Su Bodhi turned his face to Shaoying on the side and said, "Give him some money and silver, and send him out." ”

"Huh?"

......

The door slammed open.

"Wait, wait, what's wrong with me? At least tell me why I don't accept it!"

Before he finished speaking, the monkey had already been pushed out by Shaoying.

Then the door closed again.

The monkey hurriedly got up from the ground, ran over and slammed on the door: "Hey, Master ——!, why don't you accept it, you should give an explanation!"

All around, White Frost and others surrounded them.

Seeing that the hoarfrost, the bull's head, the black tail, the fat intestine, and the big red all stretched their necks to look at themselves, the monkey quickly stopped tapping on the door.

"Confiscation?"

"No...... No. The monkey hesitated and said, "Patriarch Subodhi, you and I have a very good conversation! I think that the ceremony of apprenticeship should be solemnized, and I will come back in a few days to talk. ”

"Oh. White Frost couldn't help but think of the "lion camel king's hair".

The monsters present must not believe this, and they all looked at the monkey with expressionless faces.

Dahong glanced at the monkey and said, "Are you all deaf when we are?"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. Pushing away the crowd around him, the monkey limped down the mountain.

Looking at the back of the monkey, the bull head stretched out his voice and shouted, "No, what should we do next?"

"Go and worship the little monk as a teacher!" came the voice of a monkey in the distance.

......

In the main hall, Shaoying asked softly: "Master, there are several little demons with him, do you want to let them in too......"

"Nope. Su Bodhi waved his hand and said: "The person who is looking for the teacher is destined to come to the teacher to seek the Tao." If you don't even have an apprentice, don't see it. ”
