Since occupying the Water Curtain Cave, the stone monkey has been feasting with the monkeys every day, but one day he suddenly felt worried, and the stone monkey couldn't help but fall into tears.

The monkeys hurriedly bowed and said, "What troubles has the king encountered?"

The stone monkey said: "Although I am happy, I have a little foresight, so I am troubled. ”

The stone monkey looked at the monkeys and said: "Although we do not return to the law of the king of men today, and we are not afraid of the power of birds and beasts, but in the future, we will be old and decrepit, and we will be secretly controlled by the king of Hades.

"When I think of this, I feel sad, the sky is high and the earth is wide, and there are countless scenery that I have never seen. If in a few hundred years, I will turn into dust and become the same as the grass, trees, mud and stones, then this life will not be happy enough. ”

When the monkeys heard this, they hid their faces one by one and cried sadly, all of them fearing that they would sink in the red dust after death.

At this time, a topped ape suddenly jumped out, and the monkey shouted loudly: "If the king is so far-sighted, then he can be regarded as having the heart to seek the Tao, such as the only gods, immortals, and Buddhas in the world are not under the jurisdiction of the king of Hades, why don't the king go and visit them, I think he can live a few more years." ”

The stone monkey was overjoyed and said, "Where do these three live?"

The ape said: "It should be in the Yanfu world, in the blessed land of the Immortal Mountain." ”

The ape didn't give a specific location, but the stone monkey still smiled: "I will say goodbye to you tomorrow and go down the mountain, travel to the cape, and travel to the end of the world. ”

The Monkey King said that he would go, gave up the monkey clan in the mountains, used a bamboo raft as a boat, and went to the sea to visit the fairy mountain.

The stone monkeys had never learned magic, so they had to suffer from the sun and the wind every day, and the raft was already difficult to navigate in the sea, and sometimes there was not a single figure for months.

But the stone monkey never gave up, and after being thirsty, hungry, and tired, he took a nap at most.

Sometimes he would go to the human city to look for immortals, and when he met someone who scolded him, he was not annoyed, and if someone beat him, he was not angry, just a courtesy.

After more than ten years, the stone monkey came to Yixian Mountain along the direction of the wind, this wind is also a little strange, and it has been spinning on the stone monkey bamboo raft, if there is no such wind, the stone monkey is afraid that it will take more decades.

There is a woodcutter in the mountain forest to guide the stone monkeys: "This mountain is called Lingtai Fangcun Mountain." There is a three-star cave in the mountain. There was an immortal in that cave named Patriarch Subodhi. There are countless disciples of the patriarch who went out, and I see that there are still thirty or forty people who have practiced from him. If you follow that path, seven or eight miles south, you will find his house. ”

The stone monkey wanted to invite the woodcutter to go with him, but the woodcutter shirked that there was still an old mother to take care of at home, so the stone monkey went out of the deep forest alone, found the path, crossed a hillside, about seven or eight miles away, and sure enough, he saw a cave and saw a stone plaque at the head of the cliff, which was about three zhang more than three zhang high, more than eight feet wide, and there were ten big characters on a line, which was "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, the oblique moon and three star holes".

The stone monkey was very excited, but he was afraid of disturbing the immortal Qingxiu, so the stone monkey did not dare to knock on the door, so he first jumped on the top of the pine branch, picked pine nuts and ate them to play.

After a while, I heard only a loud voice, and the door of the cave opened, and a fairy boy came out of it, and the boy shouted, "Who is disturbing here?"

The stone monkey hurriedly jumped off the tree, stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Xiantong, I am a disciple of a visiting Taoist immortal, I only ask the master to take me in, and I don't dare to disturb here." ”

Fairy Tong smiled: "Are you a Taoist?"

The stone monkey said: "I came here to visit the Tao, and I also asked the immortals to be merciful and accept me to get started."

The boy said: "My master, just now stayed, came to the altar to preach. Before he could tell the reason, he taught me to come out and open the door. said that there was a cultivator outside, but he could go to receive him, and it must be you. ”

The stone monkey smiled: "I am the only immortal seeker outside the cave, it is me, it can only be me." ”

The boy said, "Then you come in with me." ”

The stone monkey was dressed in good clothes, and followed the boy into the depths of the cave to watch, and saw an old man standing on the altar, and the stone monkey hurriedly bowed: "Master! Master! The disciple is bent on seeking the Tao, and hopes that the master will take him in." ”

Patriarch Bodhi said: "What kind of person are you? ”

The Monkey King said: "Disciple Dongsheng Shenzhou Aolai Guohua Guo Shan Shui Curtain Cave Clan." ”

Bodhi Patriarch said: "Your Dongsheng Shenzhou? Where to go to me, across the two major seas, you can find here, it is really not easy, since you have come, I will accept you as an apprentice, but are you willing to worship me as a teacher?"

The Monkey King kowtowed and said: "The disciple has crossed the ocean and crossed the sea, ascended the realm and traveled to the square, and it has been more than ten years before visiting here, it is really not easy for the disciple to seek the Tao, and I also ask the ancestor to tell the disciple, if you worship you as a teacher, can you get immortality?"

Patriarch Bodhi smiled and said, "I live with heaven and earth, and shine with the sun and the moon, so can I be regarded as immortal?"

The stone monkey saluted, "Meet the teacher!"

Patriarch Bodhi said, "What's your surname and what is your name?"

The stone monkey wanted to answer that he had no name or surname, but an extremely familiar and faint voice sounded in the stone monkey's head, and the stone monkey spoke: "My name is Little Stone. ”

Patriarch Bodhi frowned and said, "This name is really unsightly, let's choose one for you for the teacher." ”

Bodhi Patriarch said in his heart: If Pangu is the ancestor and Nuwa is the mother, this monkey happens to be the third generation, and he should take Sun as his surname.

"Is the surname Sun good?" asked Patriarch Bodhi.

"Yes," the stone monkey said, "Then please give me a name." ”

"Hongmeng has no surname at the beginning, how about breaking the stubborn void and requiring Wukong, together you will be called Sun Wukong?"

"Good name. Sun Wukong jumped up with a smile and said, "Thank you for your name." ”

"Come with me, and I will preach for you. "Patriarch Bodhi brought Sun Wukong into the cave.

Then the patriarch ascended the altar and sat down, summoned all the immortals, and opened the avenue.

The three thousand avenues have something in common, and the Buddha can also talk about a fairy road.

The saint opened his mouth and the sky was falling, and the ground was full of golden lotus, and the weather was thousands.

Sun Wukong listened to it from the sidelines, and he was so happy that he scratched his ears and cheeks, smiled with his eyebrows, and couldn't help dancing with his hands and feet.

Suddenly, he was seen by the patriarch and called Sun Wukong and said: "You are below, why are you dancing wildly and not listening to me?"

Wukong said: "The disciple listened sincerely, and when he heard the wonderful voice of the master, he was overjoyed, so he didn't feel that he was so enthusiastic. I hope Master forgives your sins!"

The patriarch said, "Now that you know the wonderful sound, let me ask you, how long have you been in the cave?"

Wukong said: "The disciple was ignorant, I don't know how many seasons, I only remember that there is no fire under the stove, I often go to the back of the mountain to collect firewood, and I see a mountain of good peach trees, where I ate seven full of peaches." ”

"It's been seven years!" Patriarch Bodhi looked at Sun Wukong and said, "I should teach you some Taoism today." ”

The patriarch said: "There are three hundred and sixty side doors in the word 'Dao' door, and the side doors all have positive fruits. I wonder which one you'd like to learn?"

Sun Wukong said: "With the will of the teacher, the disciple will obey with all his heart, as long as he can ask for an immortal life." ”
