Chapter Twenty-Three: Stone Heart

When he pushed open the door of the Concentration Palace, Shaoying saw Su Bodhi kneeling on the futon as usual, writing and drawing.

The old face is as calm as water.

Slowing down slightly, Shaoying walked to the table and stretched out his hand to sharpen the ink for Su Bodhi.

"The stone monkey is here again?"

"Hmm. This time it was the little monk of Xuanyin Temple who brought it over, and I heard that the day before yesterday I worshiped under the door of Xuanyin Temple, but yesterday I still want to come to worship the master again as a teacher. It's hateful!"

Hearing this, Su Bodhi couldn't help but smile faintly, dipped some ink, and sighed softly: "You are still so harsh, you can't tolerate sand in your eyes......"

"This ...... That demon monkey turned his back on the master, why did the master blame the disciple for being harsh?"

After a pause, Su Bodhi turned his face to look at Shaoying, and said softly, "Do you know what a stone monkey is?"

Shaoying shook his head slowly: "Disciple, I don't know. ”

Pursing his lips, Su Bodhi opened his sleeves and wrote on the paper again, and said: "The stone monkey, the ancient mountain rock, condensed the essence of the sun and the moon after tens of thousands of years of transformation, this is the heaven and earth beasts. If it is divided into categories, it should be a spiritual race. Although it is in the shape of a monkey, it is a stone heart. This is a stone monkey. ”

"Stone Heart?" Hearing this, Shaoying couldn't help but be surprised.

"Yes, Stone Heart. Su Bodhi said softly: "I can't jump." ”

......

"Senior Brother Shaoying is actually a very good person, and I don't know why today...... Don't blame him. ”

"Actually, you don't have to worry, even if Senior Brother Shaoying refuses to teach, we can still find Senior Brother Yin Xing. Senior Brother Yin Xing is also very good, and he will definitely teach you...... In fact, the senior brothers of Wanshou Mountain are very good and take good care of them on weekdays. If they weren't willing to barter with their teacher, I'm afraid that Xuanyin Temple would not be able to maintain it a long time ago. After all, it's not like other places where there is incense money to collect. ”

"Apprentice, don't be sad, okay? In the past two days, the teacher will take you to see Senior Brother Yin Xing, and you will definitely be able to learn the techniques you want. When the time comes, you will be able to follow the Buddha with peace of mind. Okay, okay?"

On the mountain path, Xuanye, who was thin, walked in front and kept nagging, the more he said the softer the voice, the weaker he said, as if he was afraid that the monkey would not be happy and left.

In that case, there will be no successor to Xuanyin Temple.

The monkey walking behind listened quietly.

Suddenly, the monkey quickened his pace, picked up the whole Xuanye, and carried it behind him.

"Apprentice, you are ......"

"The master is tired. ”

"I don't get tired of being a teacher. ”

"The disciple said that if you are tired, you are tired. ”

Regardless of whether Xuan Ye was happy or not, the monkey just carried him all the way forward, silent.

Xuanye finally didn't struggle anymore, and just lay on the monkey so quietly, pouting, and looking uncomfortable. The brow furrowed slightly.

The breeze is blowing.

On the mountain path, the master and apprentice walked quietly.

......

"Actually, before this, there was a relationship between the teacher and the stone monkey. Su Bodhi walked with the pen in his hand on the drawing paper, and said softly: "In a bazaar, he turned into a play, sang operas, and begged passers-by for rewards. In terms of talent, it can be described as outstanding. The impression left on the teacher is also really profound. ”

"Since he is talented, why is the master ......?"

Being asked like this, Su Bodhi couldn't help but pause the pen in his hand and sighed lightly: "Since you are extremely talented, you need to be more cautious whether you accept it or not." Such a monster, if it is dialed, it will become a great thing. However, it is unknown whether it is a demon or a god...... Mountains and rocks become fine, and since ancient times, heaven and earth have been only a palm at best. I've seen it all as a teacher. Shixin, that is, has no emotion and acts recklessly, which is a disaster in heaven and earth. But somehow, this one is a little different. ”

Shaoying couldn't help but be stunned, and said in a low voice: "The disciple thinks that the master is because he ......"

"Actually, what you think is right. What you said to him just now, the teacher heard it. Su Bodhi smiled faintly, and then put down the pen, and said: "It is really heavy to say that you have turned your back on the teacher." At most, the mind is undecided. It is an ordinary monkey demon, uneducated, and the world is sinister, so it is not easy. If you say too much, you will be harsh. Therefore, the teacher said that there is no room for sand in your eyes. Regardless of him, you are so temperamental in the world, I am afraid that you will suffer. ”

After a little silence, Shaoying had to bow down and say, "What the master taught me is that Shaoying will definitely correct it in the future." ”

"As for him, let's wait and see. If you can, it will be a help to be a companion with you and the fire scales. As he spoke, the corners of Su Bodhi's mouth hooked and he laughed: "It's done!"

Shaoying hurriedly leaned over.

I saw that on the picture scroll was a lifelike monkey, scratching its head, and a pair of round eyes were spinning.

Su Bodhi lifted the scroll, hung it on the Bogu shelf behind him, and said, "How?"

After that, he stroked his long beard and watched quietly.

After hesitating for a long time, Shaoying could only comment: "This monkey is quite spiritual and cute." ”

"It's a pity that this world can't tolerate this cuteness. Su Bodhi glanced at Shaoying lightly, and sighed lightly: "The world is turbid, and living is the first priority." To die, it is worth dying. Just for a breath of righteousness, hehehehe...... He doesn't worry about being a teacher, just that crooked brain, pervasive, and will definitely live. It's you, you'd rather bend than bend, but worry about the teacher. ”

This said, but Shaoying was a little embarrassed.

......

At noon, the master and apprentice returned to Xuanyin Temple.

Seeing the thick stack of exercises in the monkey's hand, all the monsters were overjoyed, but the monkey couldn't laugh anyway.

"Have you talked to that Shaoying?"

"Talked. ”

"How's it going?"

"Very good. ”

"Have you asked all about it?"

"Clear. ”

After saying a few words, the monkey ran to the backyard of Xuanyin Temple, found a stone to sit cross-legged, and began to study the exercises in his hands.

"What's wrong with Brother Monkey?"

"Probably, anxious? Well, I guess so. When he learns, he will teach us. ”

"Hahahaha, that's good. Anyway, I can't read the words, and even if I tell me how to practice, I guess I don't understand. ”

A group of youkai laughed.

In the small Xuanyin Temple, only two people were left silent. One is a genaba, and the other is a monkey.

Xuanye is still busy, and the monsters know that they will be able to cultivate soon, and they are all working very hard.

Seeing this, the monkey simply didn't break it, took the exercises that he didn't understand half-understood, and began to cultivate.

And so the day passed.

At night, the monsters obeyed the monkey's arrangement and rested early, while he himself still sat cross-legged on the stone and checked the exercises by the moonlight, and kept trying.

White Frost quietly placed an oil lamp beside the monkey and asked softly, "Is it really going well today?"

"Do you see that I am like this?" the monkey glanced at the hoarfrost.

"I don't think it should be like that. ”

"I should ......" The monkey looked up at the moon and thought for a moment, and said, "I am such a good and happy person, if it goes well, I should first tell you about the process a hundred and eighty times when I come back.

After saying that, I laughed.

White Frost also covered her lips and giggled.

In the night, a breeze blew, blowing the fog in the distance, like a huge black shadow moving slowly in the distance.

A bird landed beside him and chirped.

With his eyes wide open, Bai Shuang pursed his lips and smiled, and sighed lightly: "So, you haven't actually seen the Lion Camel King?"

"I haven't seen it. The monkey shook his head.

"What about the lion fur?"

"That's my own hair. ”

"What about the 10,000 little demons?"

"It's useless to get it together. ”

"What about Monkey King?"

The monkey was stunned for a moment, staring at the empty ground in front of him with his eyes slightly wide, and fell silent.

White Frost waited quietly, looking at him.

After a long time, the monkey turned his head to look at the white frost and said, "I am really the Monkey King." ”

"I believe in you!" the white frost was overjoyed, and the excitement was overflowing.

"When I really become a Monkey King, I want to make a big stage and sing every day. Hahahaha. ”

"When you are all Monkey King, are you still singing?"

"You know what, do you know what it's called taste? I'm going to make up a bunch of drama and let everybody sing it! When the time comes, you'll learn an instrument and play it for me. ”

"Hmm!" Bai Shuang nodded heavily and stretched out his little finger: "A word is a certainty, don't give up!"

The monkey grinned and stretched out a finger to hook it: "A word is a certainty." ”

On a cold and lonely night, a green lantern and a vegetable field, the two talked and laughed.

In the distance, two pairs of eyes watched them silently.

Zhu Gangguan sighed lightly: "A stone monkey and a white bone spirit, this is going to grow, it's really tricky." ”

"Daisen...... This is a great opportunity. The middle-aged Taoist priest rolled up his robe and squeezed to Zhu Gangguan's side, and encouraged: "It just so happens that the people of Wuzhuang Guan are not there, or let's do it directly?

"And then we all die here together?" Zhu Gangguan glanced at him coldly and said, "To deal with them, we can only find a way to get Wuzhuang Guan to drive them out of Wanshou Mountain." Get your hands on it here...... Unless Zhen Yuanzi wanted them to die in the first place. ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged Taoist priest hurriedly silenced.

Putting down the hand that was pushing away the branches, Zhu Gangguan said softly: "The method will be thought of, and you have to do it." ”
