Sunlight poured in obliquely through the window, and a burst of sandalwood wafted out of the stove and slowly spread.

The two people in the room sat silent for a long time, and they didn't say a word.

Su Bodhi just watched, kept watching, kept watching, and saw the stone monkey's scalp tingle.

The gaze was so sharp that it seemed to penetrate the heart of the stone monkey, and the expression on his face changed slightly from time to time.

"This old man can read minds, what does he want to read?"

Regarding the question of Su Bodhi's ability to read minds, the stone monkey has long known and thought about it, otherwise how could the stone monkey dare to jump out of his mouth when he kneels at the door - anyway, if you don't say it, he will know, so it is better to say it directly.

But it is still extremely uncomfortable to be read face to face like this.

However, it is better to come in and be read on a futon than to be read on a stone slab outside.

For a whole year, the knees have been kneeling until a thick layer of cocoons has grown.

It wasn't until sunset in the western mountains, the bright moon hung up, the wind chimes sneaked in to put on the lamp, and added spices to the incense burner, that Su Bodhi stretched his waist and collected his mind.

"'You are like a monkey, your surname is Sun, there is a way to break the stubbornness and need Wukong, so call it Sun Wukong. 'But what did you say?'" Su Bo smiled meaningfully.

"That's exactly what you're trying to say. The stone monkey thought to himself.

"Well, just take it as I say. In the future, you will be called Sun Wukong. ”

"Master Xie gives me a name!" Sun Monkey kowtowed obediently.

The pain of communicating with someone who can see into the other person's mind is indescribable. The monkey simply didn't think about it, just like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

Anyway, one step is one step, and there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.

Nasu Bodhi stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "You monkey head, do you know why the teacher refuses to accept you?"

"The disciple doesn't know, please let the master know. The monkey replied respectfully.

"Cultivators, peeping into the number of heaven and earth, practicing the law of transgressing boundaries, and cultivating can deduce the mandate of heaven, turn your hands into clouds, and turn your hands into rain, this is a great power. If you meet a brave and ruthless person, you will definitely bring disaster to all sentient beings. Therefore, there are three non-collections for teachers. ”

"Oh?"

"Those who are paranoid and unruly will not be accepted. Those who are arrogant and domineering, and do not have a fear of God, will not accept it. These three ......" Su Bodhi stretched out three fingers, and when he counted "three", he paused deliberately, and looked at Sun Monkey with a smile.

"Hmm? These 'three' are ......."

"Those of unknown origin will not accept it!" After a pause, Su Bodhi continued: "Of the three, if you only account for one or two, it will be fine, but your monkey's head 'three do not collect' all of them." It's hard to find another one in the world. ”

"What?" Sun Monkey's eyes widened, and he muttered in his heart, "How did I become of unknown origin?"

Su Bodhi shook off the dust, looked at the monkey with interest, and said slowly: "Then tell me, where are you from?"

"I'm from Huaguo Mountain, Dongsheng Shenzhou!" the monkey blurted out.

But he soon realized that something was wrong, because as soon as he heard his words, the smile on Su Bodhi's face became even stronger, and the gaze stared at the monkey again, and his scalp tingled again.

"If you really came from Dongsheng Shenzhou, you shouldn't be here at this time! You know, you came three hundred years earlier. ”

The monkey's face twitched violently.

Talking to this kind of person, you can collapse at any time.

"Master, don't say that this is irrelevant, when will you teach the disciples the Dao Fa?"

After staring at the monkey silently for a long time, Su Bodhi slowly turned his head to look at the bright moon outside the window, and said lightly: "Don't say it, you go down and settle down, get up early tomorrow, and the teacher will arrange for you to cultivate immortals and seek the Tao." ”

As he exited the door, the monkey felt a chill on his back.

Soon, the wind chimes guarding the door led the monkey away, and wandered around the Taoist temple built in the cave for a long time before arriving at the room arranged for the monkey.

It was a separate room, next to the kitchen, and it was not next to the rooms of the other Taoists, but it was also a single room, which seemed to indicate the special treatment of the monkeys by Subodhi.

Help the monkey light an oil lamp in the room, and the wind chime neatly stacked a set of gray Taoist robes on the table, and asked with a smile, "Did the master choose a name for the uncle?"

"Hmm. The monkey casually glanced at the room, which was a modest cabin twenty square meters, built on the hill, with windows on only one side. In the room was a couch that was gradually becoming simpler, and a low table on the couch.

It's standard in this era, it's not good, but it's not cold either.

"But 'Monkey King'?" the wind chime sat down on the couch and pushed the fruit that had already been prepared on the table in front of the monkey.

You're welcome, the monkey reached out and grabbed a pear and nibbled on it.

muttered: "Naturally, it's Sun Wukong, and there can be something wrong with this." ”

"Then I'll have to call Uncle Sun in the future?" asked Feng Chime cautiously.

"Don't. The monkey waved his hand: "You still call me a monkey, listen to the habit." Uncle Sun...... It sounds weird. ”

Saying this, Feng Chime's expression was immediately relieved, and he came over with a smile and asked, "Monkey, did the master let you choose the Dao Vein?"

"Dao vein, what Dao vein?"

"My Taoist has two veins, one is called 'Walker', to practice the Tao. The other line is called 'the enlightened one', to enlighten the Tao. The path of enlightenment, which is chosen by all disciples in the view, is a must for any beginner disciple. Why didn't the master mention it?"

"Didn't mention it. The monkey shook his head.

"Didn't mention it?" Wind Chime's brow furrowed, "You've been talking for five hours, what's the matter...... Don't you even want to tell me?"

"The old man just kept looking at me and made my scalp tingle. There were not a few words. ”

Feng Chime thought for a moment, nodded and said: "This has happened before, the master likes to read minds, and new apprentices will read it well, but it is the first time that it has been so long." Rest now, and I'll come back to you tomorrow morning. ”

"Hmm. ”

The wind chimes are gone, leaving the stone monkey alone on the hard mat.

"What did that mean?" thought the monkey.

The content and tone of the conversation were obviously a hidden mystery.

"Three don't collect?"

The more the monkey thinks about it, the more wrong it becomes, but now people have to bow their heads under the eaves, no matter what is inside, they still have to learn the Tao first.

"Anyway, it's finally in. The monkey smiled happily, took out an orange feather from his pocket, held it in his hand for a long time, and looked at it with fascination: "Are you right? ”

It was a long time before he put it away like a baby.

After a night of tossing and turning, the monkey had already gotten up and began to wash.

It doesn't matter if you were sloppy kneeling at the door before, but now that you have officially entered the door, you can't still be like that.

Not to mention Su Bodhi, it is still necessary to make a good impression in front of other brothers and sisters.

The ill-fitting cloth clothes worn on the body were temporarily begged from the people at the foot of the mountain for dignity, and they had not been washed in the past year when they were worn on the body, and now they were in tatters, and when they got closer, there was a strong sour smell.

Thinking that he was finally going to live like a "human", the monkey was finally a little relieved in his heart.

The kitchen next door was already lit up, and looking through the crack in the door, you could see two plainly dressed Taoists, one young and one young, busy in their aprons, and the smoke of the roof rising.

Sparing the kitchen, the monkey went straight to the well outside the house to fetch water, and did not care so much and directly undressed and washed in the open air.

It stands to reason that bathing in the open air is an unorthodox thing, but fortunately, he is a monkey, and his monkey hair should be used as a cover.

Halfway through the wash, the young Taoist in the kitchen dragged the bucket open the door, and when he saw the monkey, he immediately shrank back in horror, and the monkey vaguely heard the two people in the kitchen talking about themselves.

Monkeys have long been accustomed to being treated differently by others, and they don't bother to say anything, they just wash themselves up, but they are happy.

At this time, a middle-aged Taoist priest with a long beard standing on the corridor of the attic in the distance stood with his hands in his hands, watching the monkey from a distance.

This person is dressed in a cyan robe, his long hair is pitch black, but his temples are white, the corners of his eyes are deep crow's feet, and the cuffs are embroidered with a golden word "cloud".

Beside him, a young Taoist priest bowed down and said, "Master, that is the apprentice that Shizun accepted yesterday." ”

"This monkey head has been kneeling outside the door for a whole spring and autumn, and I have seen it a few times for the teacher, but it is just ......" The long-bearded middle-aged Taoist priest's eyes narrowed slightly, half loudly, and his eyes widened violently, before he sighed: "Even the teacher's mind reading technique is ineffective, and he is talking nonsense." knelt outside the door for a whole spring and autumn and did not leave, which shows that this monkey is very obsessed. Such a heart...... Why did the master accept him as an apprentice and still a disciple in the room, it is really puzzling. ”

The young Taoist priest lowered his head and laughed softly: "In my opinion, it's just a whim of the master, waiting for ......."

The middle-aged Taoist priest glared sideways, and the young Taoist priest suddenly shut up.

The middle-aged Taoist priest slowly raised his head and said, "As a senior brother as a teacher, even if you say a few words about that monkey head, it is understandable." It's you, who comment on Uncle Shi and Master indiscriminately, if you let others listen, you can blame the teacher for punishing you!"

"Obey the master's teachings! Obey the master's teachings!" the young Taoist priest hurriedly bowed his head and bowed his hand.

The middle-aged Taoist priest turned around and slowly walked into the inner room, and asked casually, "Does the monkey head have a name?"

The young Taoist priest hurriedly followed: "Back to the master's words, the surname is Sun, and the name is Wukong." The wind chimes came to hang up the card last night, saying that it was raised by the master. ”

"Oh, so you're going to listen to the lecture today?"

"Not mentioned. ”

"If you don't come, the old man is happy to be quiet. ”
