Hearing what the Monkey King said, the rest of the monkeys also became worried—although Huaguo Mountain is a rare blessed place with abundant aura, the lifespan of these monkeys is far better than that of ordinary monkeys, but after all, they are not immortal. The lifespan of these monkeys is basically only hundreds of years. Hundreds of years have passed, and those who should die of old age will still die of old age. But there is no living creature who has wisdom and does not know the preciousness of life. Therefore, when the Monkey King brought up this topic, the monkeys also became depressed.

Seeing that the monkeys became depressed because of his words, the Monkey King's mood became even more sullen.

At this moment, among the monkeys, an old ape saw this scene, but smiled faintly.

If you want to say that this old ape is also an old qualification in Huaguo Mountain. A long, long time ago, when Ye Xuan hadn't sent the group of monkeys from Taoshan to Huaguo Mountain, this old ape was already living in Huaguo Mountain.

However, this old ape itself has no cultivation, nor is it a special race, but it has lived for so long and has not died of old age, there must be something strange in it.

In fact, it is exactly what it is.

This old ape is a chess piece laid by Zhun Ti in Huaguo Mountain a long time ago, and as for its function, it is to keep an eye on the unborn stone monkey to prevent anyone from doing anything to the stone monkey.

At this moment, hearing that the stone monkey who became the Monkey King had the idea of wanting to live forever, the old ape knew that the time had come—Zhun Ti wanted to let his Bodhi Tree incarnate and take the stone monkey into his disciple to teach, so as to become the protector of the Buddhist Dharma preachers, and naturally needed an opportunity. And the stone monkey wants to live forever, and this is the best opportunity - since the stone monkey wants to live forever, then he wants to seek immortals and ask. At that time, with a little guidance, it will not be easy to bring the stone monkey under the door?

Therefore, the old ape looked at the stone monkey's sullen appearance, but he walked out and spoke.

"Why should the king be so sullen, if the king is really worried about this matter and wants to ask for immortality, but the minister has an idea. ”

Hearing the old ape say this, the Monkey King was overjoyed, jumped up and stood on the stone seat, looked at the old ape and said eagerly: "What do you have in mind?

Looking at the stone monkey's impatient appearance, the old ape smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Does the king know that between heaven and earth, who can achieve immortality?"

Hearing this, Shi hurriedly asked, "Can those people live forever?"

The old ape looked at the stone monkey's eager appearance and said slowly: "One is an immortal, one is a Buddha, and one is a god." Immortals and Buddhas have great magical powers, can move mountains and seas, and change in thousands of ways. Those who cultivate to the advanced level live with heaven and earth, and with the sun and the moon. The god is worshiped by all people, and the faith is immortal, and the god is immortal and immortal. All three are not disturbed by immortality. ”

Hearing the old ape say this, the stone monkey asked again, "I don't know where I should look for these three?"

The old ape replied: "The immortal Buddha either lives in the Lingshan Treasure Temple, or in the ancient cave immortal mountain. The gods are high in the nine heavens, in the heavenly court. ”

Hearing the old ape say this, the stone monkey said with joy: "I will go down the mountain and go out to sea tomorrow, travel all over the world, be sure to visit these three, learn a method of immortality, and save yourself from being trapped by life and death, disturbed by life." ”

Hearing the stone monkey say this, all the monkeys were overjoyed and said, "The king is wise! I will wait for tomorrow to hold a banquet and see you off the king." ”

Now that the stone monkey has decided to go to sea to seek the Tao, although the eight characters have not yet been skimmed, all the monkeys have washed away their previous sorrows and rejoiced again, as if the stone monkey had sought the method of immortality.

The stone monkeys and the monkeys put aside their troubles at the moment, and the monkeys took the seat of the stone monkeys, and one by one took turns to come forward to toast, offer flowers, and offer fruits. The feast lasted until late at night.

For all this, although Yuan Hong has already retreated, he will naturally not be unaware of his cultivation of Da Luo Jin Immortal, but thinking of Ye Xuan's previous instructions, Yuan Hong will let it go, and he does not have the slightest intention of interfering.

Early the next morning, the stone monkeys were in high spirits.

Wake up the monkeys, and the stone monkey shouted: "Little ones, fold some dead pines for me, get some tree trunks, make a raft, and then take a bamboo pole as a penny, and pack up some fruits, etc., and I will go to the sea to find the way!"

Hearing the sound, although the monkeys feasted and drank until late at night yesterday, they all climbed up in a hurry, weaving rafts of rafts, and picking fruits. As the saying goes, monkeys have a lot of strength, and it didn't take long for the raft and penny to be ready, as well as the fruit.

The stone monkey boarded the raft alone, looked at the monkeys on the shore who were reluctant to look at him, and shouted, "Little ones, I'll go." When I come back, I will have eternal life!"

Hearing the sound, the group of monkeys on the shore were all with tears in their eyes.

"King!"

"King!"

"Take care all the way!"

"Be careful all the way!"

............

The sound of the monkeys sounded in his ears, and the stone monkey turned around ruthlessly, no longer looking at the monkeys, and quietly wiped away a teardrop from the corner of his eyes, and the stone monkey propped up the raft and went overseas.

However, since the stone monkey went to sea to be urged by Zhun Ti, there was absolutely no reason for the stone monkey not to find him.

But it is said that after the stone monkey went out to sea, he faced the boundless ocean every day, floating aimlessly. Occasionally, when the wind and rain came, they could only carry it next to each other, and they drifted like this for an unknown amount of time, and the fruit and water carried by the stone monkey gradually drank and ate. However, in the field of vision, there is still the vast sea, and there is no trace of land.

There is nothing to eat, which is not much of a problem for the stone monkeys. He is very talented, and even if he doesn't eat anything for a month, nothing will go wrong. But without water to drink, even the stone monkey wouldn't last long—after all, he hadn't practiced yet, and even though he was talented, he was just an ordinary monkey at the moment. Therefore, after a few days, the stone monkey can only lie on the raft with his eyes on his eyes, waiting for when he will be able to land.

As the days passed, the monkeys became weaker and weaker, but as far as the eye could see, there was still a vast sea, and there was no trace of the coast.

However, no matter how thirsty he was, the monkey always remained awake - as long as he thought of the expectant eyes of the monkey grandchildren of Huaguo Mountain when he left, the stone monkey had the motivation to support it.

On this day, the monkey was still half-dead lying on the raft and drifting in the wind - except for the first few days, and then the stone monkey never took the initiative to control the direction of the raft - there was water on all sides, where to drift differently?

It's just that even if the monkey has always supported himself with his own will to keep himself from falling unconscious, he also knows that without water, he may not be able to hold on.
