Chapter 4: Passing on the Secret to the Best
There is no nail in the mountains, and the cold does not know the year.
One day, the patriarch walked in the mountains and forests, pinching his fingers, and the stone monkey had been here for seven years.
"Goku. ”
The patriarch screamed, but he didn't see the stone monkey beside him.
"Master. ”
The two fairy children saluted him: "You forgot again, last time he secretly drank your medicinal wine, and you punished him for thinking about it behind closed doors." ”
The patriarch recalled that he couldn't help sighing, the monkey had often accompanied him all these years, he was smart and well-behaved, and he was getting closer to each other, so that he was not used to living without him.
"Seven days behind closed doors, the time has come. ”
The patriarch instructed the fairy child: "Children, go and help me call him." ”
"Yes. ”
The two fairies answered, turned around and walked towards the corridor.
"Why is Master's punishment so light?"
A fairy boy asked, the patriarch has always been strict, and the disciples have never let go after seven days of closed doors.
"I don't understand. ”
Another fairy boy replied: "If you want to say that Wukong, coming here for seven years, it's really not a big deal." ”
When he first started, the stone monkey's ambition startled all the disciples.
In the first two years, the disciples often laughed at the stone monkey, but the stone monkey was not angry, and behaved in a good way, at that time, some disciples felt that the stone monkey was unfathomable.
However, seven years have passed, and the stone monkey has achieved nothing in his cultivation, and compared to many disciples, he is also the worst one, and everyone has gradually despised him.
And the monkey nature of the stone monkey in recent years has not been as mysterious as it was at the beginning.
"Sure enough, it's because he can tell stories, right?"
"It must be. ”
The two fairy children talked, and soon arrived at the stone monkey's bedroom.
Before he could enter the door, there was a burst of cheers in the dormitory.
The fairies looked at each other.
"He's telling a story again. ”
"Hurry in and listen!"
The two fairies quickened their pace and walked into the dormitory.
In the dormitory, a group of senior brothers gathered around the stone monkey, crackling and bursting into applause, cheering for the stone monkey's storytelling.
"It is said that the Caiyun Fairy knocked the eye bead and looked at the sky to split the face, this bead specifically hurt people's eyes, Huang Tianhua could not reach the embankment, and was injured in the second eye......"
The stone monkey who is telling a story is full of emotion and is very attractive.
This story called "Romance of the Gods" is huge, the imagination is peculiar, and the plot is even more exciting.
Even the two fairy children, after entering the dormitory, couldn't help but listen.
If there's anything special about this stone monkey, it's its mouth - somehow, it always tells some bizarre, absurd and humorous stories.
As soon as the stone monkey is free, he will talk about ghosts and gods with his brothers, talk about weirdness, and the stories he says are all fictional, but the cold and warm in the world, karma, and fate are said in a way, and the more you listen to them, the more true they are.
The disciples had listened to him for a long time, and some even began to suspect that the story they had known was false.
For example, that Taishang Laojun, in the story of "Romance of the Gods", his status is extremely lofty, but it is very different from what they know.
Moreover, the immortals have gone through calamities to enjoy the throne, but in the story of the stone monkey, they are told about human nature, and the more they ponder, the more terrifying they are.
The disciples instinctively found that these stories would shake the Dao heart, but they really couldn't stop.
They are all pure cultivators with six roots, who have little interest in mortal things, but they can't resist the strange rumors of those immortals.
The stone monkey spoke for half an hour, his mouth was dry, and he decided not to speak.
"That's it for now. ”
The stone monkey took a sip of honey and said, "If you want to listen to the plot next time, please find me some hundred-year-old snow lotus." ”
"No problem. ”
"We'll definitely find it for our junior brother!"
The disciples promised one after another.
They are still unsatisfied with "Romance of the Gods", the hundred-year-old snow lotus is not an idle item, but the disciples can find it if they look for it, so they naturally will not refuse.
"Goku. ”
The two fairy children walked towards the stone monkey: "Master wants to see you." ”
"Wait for me to change my clothes. ”
The stone monkey was happy, and he couldn't go out these days when he stayed in the house, but it suffocated him.
The stone monkey changed his clothes and followed the two fairy children out of the door.
However, when he went out, the stone monkey was shocked, only to see the patriarch standing at the door with a calm face, and more than a dozen senior brothers who had just listened to the book were lined up in front of him, not daring to move, looking obediently being trained.
"Master. ”
The stone monkey reacted and hurriedly saluted.
"Stand in the back!"
The patriarch shouted.
The stone monkey immediately stood at the tail end of the senior brothers.
The patriarch glanced at the disciples coldly, skimming the stone monkey, the stone monkey's round eyes kept turning, compared to those frightened disciples, it was really different.
The reason why the patriarch is here is because the fairy child has not returned.
He saw that the fairy boy had not returned for a long time, so he came to take a look and found that the stone monkey was telling a story.
As soon as the patriarch heard it at the door, he knew that the story was true and false, and that there was truth in the falsehood, and that it could become a deadly poison for those who were not strong in the Dao heart.
"Do you know what's wrong?"
The patriarch asked the disciples.
The disciples bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, but they did not dare to argue.
Only the stone monkey seems to know the height of the sky.
"Master, it's just a storyteller. ”
The stone monkey asked, "What was wrong with me?"
"You!"
The patriarch was angry, and with a loud voice, he held the ring ruler in his hand, and designated the stone monkey and said: "I told you to think about it behind closed doors, but you are messing with my courtyard here!"
The patriarch took the ring ruler and hit the stone monkey three times in a row, and then glanced at Wukong, but saw him touching his head, with an expression that seemed to be enlightened.
This monkey is getting smarter and smarter!
The patriarch snorted coldly, then left the courtyard with his hands behind his back, closed the door, and left many disciples behind.
His actions frightened everyone who listened to the book, and even complained about the stone monkey.
"Senior brother, you are going to die this time!"
"Knowing that Master is angry, you still talk back to him! This time I bumped into him, I don't know how he should punish you!"
While complaining about the stone monkey, the disciples were a little gloating, feeling that this monkey was dead.
The stone monkey was very happy in his heart.
The patriarch hit him three times, and then entered the door with his hands behind his back, this is to teach him real skills!
That night, the stone monkey and the other senior brothers fell asleep, and after calculating the time, they put on their clothes and found the back door of the Bodhi Patriarch from the old road.
The back door was the same as in the book, half-open and half-hidden.
The stone monkey was happy in his heart, and then entered the door and walked to the patriarch's bedside.
The patriarch fell asleep on his side, face in. The stone monkey did not dare to be alarmed, and knelt beside the bed and waited.
After a while, the patriarch suddenly read the poem.
"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!"
After the patriarch finished reading the poem, he got up and sat up, and then looked at the stone monkey, with a trace of anger in his eyes.
