When the first rays of sunlight illuminated the temple, the wind chimes pushed open the door of the monkey's room with food, and saw that the monkey was already dressed and sitting on the couch.

"You got up early, so you shouldn't take a break?" said the wind chime, casually putting the vegetables and fruits on the low table.

"Can't sleep. The monkey replied casually, looked at the fruit, and asked, "Do you eat all this here in the morning?"

"Of course not, today's breakfast was steamed buns and steamed buns. As he spoke, the wind chime poured some water from the small jar into the cup, and pushed the tray with the fruit in front of the monkey: "You are a monkey, and your food is naturally different from ours." ”

"In the future, I will eat the same as you, so as to save you trouble. As he spoke, the monkey began to eat, and while eating, he asked, "How is it arranged today?"

The wind chime held his cheeks and looked at the monkey, and said, "After eating, we will go to the master to invite the master in the morning, and then go to the back mountain to meditate." ”

After thinking about it, he added: "This is what the master confessed last night, he said that you are too angry, and if you cultivate directly, you are afraid of entering the demon barrier." Therefore, unlike other disciples, they need to meditate. ”

"Meditation ......," the monkey thought to himself, holding the apple, "Then when can we start cultivating the Seventy-Two Transformations and the Somersault Cloud......?" Anyway, I haven't done anything about cultivating the Tao, so I'll listen to the old man. ”

After gobbling it up, the two went out the door.

Along the way, the wind chime led the monkey to constantly introduce: "The place where you live is called Ling Yanli, and the kitchen there is responsible for eating all the food. Along the corridor and up is the Qilin Horn, which is the place where the Benguan cultivates elixirs, and also houses various alchemy materials of the Benkan. Walking back is Feiyun Pavilion, which is the residence of Uncle Qingyun. ”

"Senior Uncle Qingyun?"

The attic that the wind chimes refer to is the attic where the middle-aged Taoist priest is this morning.

"Senior Uncle Qingyun is your fifth senior brother, and there are a total of ten disciples in the master's room, and you are the tenth. Now the only ones who are still watching are you and Uncle Qingyun. He is also the one who presides over the daily lectures. ”

The monkey nodded: "Then your master is ......"

"The master of the wind chimes is Qingfengzi, the first apprentice of the master. He reached the realm of turning into a god early and became an immortal, but he didn't go to heaven to become an immortal. Under the master's door, it is also the highest one. Now I am traveling in Beizhou, and I am not in the view. ”

"Hmm. ”

Su Bodhi's other disciples, it seems that they have never been mentioned in "Journey to the West", and they should understand it well if they have a chance.

With wind chimes, the monkeys visit the Taoist temple all the way.

This oblique moon three-star hole, the Taoist temple is built according to the mountain, the corridor is all over, layer upon layer, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the scale of the palace group, and it is even more cloudy and misty in the morning to look fairy.

Looking down from the inside of the view, the buildings loom and the mountains are embraced, and the scenery is picturesque and picturesque, which can be called a fairyland on earth.

It is no wonder that Su Bodhi, an unborn ancient immortal, would choose to establish a mountain here.

"Huh, that's it?"

In the clouds, the monkey faintly saw a towering tower.

"This view is an important place - the Pavilion of the Scriptures. It was guarded day and night, and without a warrant from my master, no one was allowed to enter except my master Qingfengzi. ”

"Oh, it seems that the old man has a lot of tricks to hide. The monkey touched his chin and began to wonder if there were other advanced Dao methods besides the seventy-two changes and somersault clouds.

If there is, learn it together, and if he makes a mistake in the future, it will not be so miserable.

But the wind chime said, "How can it be said that it is hidden? The guards are only a few ordinary disciples, and even I can pass the test lightly." You must know that the Tao is boundless, and you need to go step by step, and if you cross the line slightly, you will go mad at least and your life will be lost. The Master is just for our good. The reason why my master Qingfengzi can come and go at will is because there are no books in the Scripture Pavilion that he can't read. ”

"Oh?"

After a while, there was a burst of chanting in the distance.

"This is a compulsory scripture recitation in the morning, and it is presided over by Uncle Qingyun every day. Most of the disciples who look inside and outside this view can be regarded as half of his apprentices, regardless of their grade. Before Uncle Qingyun cultivated, he was a deacon of an official government, and he paid the most attention to the principles of ethics and the order of the young and the old. If you see him, pay more respect. ”

As he walked through the majestic dojo, through the gaps in the doors and windows, the monkey could clearly see dozens of disciples sitting cross-legged in a neat seat, with a sutra book in front of them, reciting in unison.

On that step, a middle-aged Taoist also meditated and chanted with them.

From afar, Qingyunzi seemed to notice the monkey as well, but after just glancing at it, he closed his eyes and pretended not to see.

followed the wind chimes seven times and eight times before arriving at the concentration hall of Subodhi.

"Starting today, you will go to the back mountain to meditate and practice. These were the first words that Subodhi said when he saw the monkey.

"Then, master, how long does the apprentice have to meditate?" the monkey asked.

"Meditation is to cultivate the heart, to cultivate the immortal path first to cultivate the heart, if the heart is not cultivated, then to cultivate the immortal, in the end it is just a scourge. When the heart is repaired, teach what you want to learn for the teacher. With that, Subodhi waved his hand and motioned for the monkey to stand down and continue to half-lie on the couch and ponder the scriptures in his hand.

"Remember the master's teachings. The monkey bowed and thanked him.

Out of the Concentration Palace, the monkey cautiously asked the wind chime: "The master said that meditation and cultivation of the mind, what kind of cultivation method is it?"

"This ...... I don't know. The master only told me to take you to the back mountain to reflect on the stone and let you meditate there, and the rest never explained again. ”

"You haven't cultivated your mind?"

"Hmm...... To be precise, I have never heard of a disciple in this view who wants to cultivate the mind. ”

At this statement, the monkey's heart suddenly chuckled.

"That'...... Is it because my situation is really special, or is the old man planning something?" Glancing back slightly, the monkey saw through the crack in the door that Su Bodhi was still half-lying and studying the books and scriptures with relish, and there was no change in his expression between his eyebrows, and he didn't seem to use mind reading to read the monkey's mental activity.

Forget it, let's give it a try.

With the wind chimes, I went around for a long time before I arrived at the back mountain and saw the so-called "introspective stone".

It was a boulder placed on the edge of a low cliff, three feet high, wide and wide, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and I didn't worry about the boulder rolling down the mountain when I sat on it.

On the edge of the cliff is a deep pool, and the roar of the waterfall cascading down from the top of the mountain is deafening.

In addition to the natural landscape of birds singing and flowers, this is a place where it is difficult to speak, which is somewhat similar to the water curtain cave.

Pointing to himself, and then to the stone, the monkey looked at the wind chimes.

"Well, go ahead. Wind Chime nodded.

When climbing up the introspective stone, the monkey actually had the idea that "this stone is some kind of artifact". However, when the wind chimes turned away and left him alone, there was nothing but question marks on his mind.

"Just sitting?" the monkey suddenly felt that the egg hurt and the chrysanthemum tightened.

Kneeling outside the door for a year, the monkey fantasized about entering the door all the time. However, the current situation is that when you are outside the door, you kneel on the stone slab, and when you enter the door, you sit on the stone.

"It seems that there is not much difference. No, there must be a mystery in it. The monkey thought.

Closing his eyes, he began to feel it carefully.

The first thing to try is to have nothing in your head, of course, for normal people...... Or for a normal monkey, this situation is unlikely to last long.

It really didn't work anymore, and the monkey began to try to stare at something......

Unfortunately, he didn't feel anything until his stomach growled.

There is no lunch in the Sanxing Cave of the Oblique Moon, and naturally the wind chimes will not send food, so he took the time to go down and pick a few wild fruits to eat, and then climbed back to the stone to continue "meditation".

When the sun set, the wind chimes finally carried the basket and walked slowly along the mountain road.

"How's it going? today. ”

"Uh...... Just sit down. The monkey turned his head to look at the introspective stone while eating, and said coldly: "You say, will the master play tricks on me?"

"Impossible! How could Shizun do such a thing!" The wind chimes rolled up the dust and knocked on the monkey's head: "Let you think wildly!"

"Then you say, why don't I feel anything? Cultivating the mind? What kind of cultivation method?"

"You must not be meditating enough! You must be thinking nonsense. Wind Chimes swore solemnly.

Returning to his lodgings, the monkey lay on the mat and thought about it.

"Am I not calm enough? This ...... It seems to be true. There's nothing to do there, and I'm always unconsciously cranky. Do you want to make your mind blank? Mind cultivation, what kind of cultivation is it? This old man doesn't even give any hints......

Thinking about it, the monkey jumped up from the bed, got dressed and put on shoes and socks, and went out in the dark to the back mountain in the starry night.

This way happened to pass by Qingyunzi's Feiyun Pavilion.

If it were someone else, I am afraid it would be difficult to see a sneaky monkey on the steps on this night when I couldn't see my fingers, but Qingyunzi was a disciple of Su Bodhi, and with his cultivation, this perception was simply pediatric.

I saw him standing in the attic silently turning his head and whispering to the young Taoist priest behind him: "Xudu, go and see what that monkey head wants to do." ”
