Not to mention that Ye Xuan was thinking about how to deal with Zhu Gangguan and Shadao Gui, but he said that in the Sanxing Cave of the Oblique Moon, the monkey worshiped under the patriarch of Su Bodhi, and it had been seven years unconsciously.

During these seven years, the monkey and his brothers learned to speak politely, preach scriptures, and burn incense every day. In his spare time, he sweeps the floor and hoes the garden, raises flowers and trees, finds firewood and fires, and carries water and pulp. When Patriarch Subodhi preached, he listened to the sermon with all the senior brothers.

However, seven years have passed, and although the monkey has learned some things, these things have nothing to do with immortality.

However, after all these years of getting along, the monkey also understood that Patriarch Subodhi was indeed a person with great magical powers, so although Patriarch Subodhi did not teach him any magical powers in the past seven years, he still waited patiently.

He believed that one day, he would learn the method of immortality.

On this day, the monkey and the senior brothers finished their homework together, and when they had nothing to do, they took a broom and went to sweep the floor outside the three-star cave of the oblique moon. Sweeping and sweeping, suddenly a sound of footsteps came, the monkey was stunned, looked up, but saw that on the road where he came, a young monk was slowly walking step by step.

Seeing this, the monkey couldn't help but be slightly interested - over the years, except for him, no one had come to the three-star cave of the slanting moon, and now, someone actually came again, which made it impossible for the monkey not to be interested.

Soon, the young monk approached and saw the monkey as well.

After a slight Buddhist salute to the monkey, the young monk asked, "May I ask this donor, this is the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, the three-star cave of the oblique moon?"

Seeing this, the monkey learned to salute in a good way: "Exactly, exactly, I don't know what the little monk is doing here?

Hearing the monkey say this, the young monk smiled: "It is true to seek the Tao from the ancestor of Su Bodhi, but the little monk already has a master, but he can't worship the teacher." I also hope that the donor will help the little monk to give a visit to the patriarch of Su Bodhi, so he said that Xuanye asked to see the patriarch. ”

Because he had seen such an outsider as this little monk who called himself Xuanye for such a long time, the monkey seemed very enthusiastic: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, my old grandson will go to the old man's house." ”

Xuan Ye smiled slightly: "Then it will bother Master Sun." ”

"Don't bother, don't bother. ”

After saying two times in a row, the monkey threw the broom, turned around and ran towards the three-star cave of the oblique moon, and the agile posture was the little monk who looked at it and shook his head slightly: "Although this Sun Shizhu is warm, but this temperament is a little frizzy." ”

However, it was said that the monkey had entered the three-star cave of the slanting moon, and immediately took three steps and made two steps, and went to the residence of the patriarch Nasu Bodhi. When he came to the small courtyard of the patriarch of Subodhi, the monkey was about to enter, but was stopped by the boy guarding the door: "The patriarch is resting, what are you doing here at this time, the monkey?"

The monkey smiled and hurriedly said, "Senior brother, don't blame." My old grandson was cleaning outside the cave, and suddenly a little monk came, saying that he asked to see Patriarch Su Bodhi. Therefore, my grandson came to the master and his old man. ”

Hearing the monkey say this, the boy snorted lightly: "You monkey, you don't know the severity." What kind of person is the patriarch and his old man? How can anyone who wants to see him? Go and send the monk away, don't make a noise until the patriarch rests. ”

Hearing the boy say this, the monkey was in trouble for a while - for some reason, although he and the young little monk named Xuanye outside had only met for the first time, they had a good impression, so he was willing to give a good impression to the little monk Xuanye. But the boy stopped him, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

When the monkey was in a dilemma, Su Bodhi's voice came from the campus: "Tong'er, what's the trouble outside?"

Hearing this, the boy glared at the monkey viciously, and quickly turned around and replied respectfully: "Enlighten the patriarch, but there is a monk outside the cave who wants to ask to see the patriarch." The disciple was afraid of disturbing the patriarch's rest, so he was about to ask Senior Brother Sun to send the monk away. ”

Who knows, hearing the boy say this, Su Bodhi said: "It's a guest from afar." Since you want to see me, bring him in. ”

Hearing Patriarch Su Bodhi say this, although Tong Er was puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to go against Su Bodhi's meaning, and hurriedly said, "Yes, Patriarch." ”

After speaking, the boy turned around and glared at the monkey: "Go and bring the monk." ”

However, although the boy's attitude was not very good, when he heard Patriarch Su Bodhi say that he wanted to see the monk, the monkey was happy in his heart, but he ignored the boy and immediately ran out of the cave.

Out of the three-star cave of the oblique moon, the monkey saw that the Xuanye monk was holding the broom he used before and sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the cave in a hurry.

Seeing this, the monkey shouted excitedly: "Hey, little monk, don't sweep, come here, the master and his old man want to see you." ”

Unlike the monkey's excitement, when he heard the news that Patriarch Subodhi was going to see him, the young monk named Xuanye did not show any excitement. Gently putting the broom aside, the little monk Xuanye just bowed lightly to the monkey and said, "There is a Laosun donor." ”

He smiled and waved his hand, and the monkey said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

took the little monk Xuanye into the three-star cave of the oblique moon, and came to the small courtyard of the patriarch Su Bodhi. And Patriarch Su Bodhi also seemed to be aware of the arrival of the little monk Xuanye, and his voice slowly came out of the courtyard: "Let him come in, you all go down." ”

Hearing the sound, Xuanye smiled at the monkey and went in.

Seeing this, for some reason, the monkey was quite happy.

The rest of the people went down according to the instructions of Patriarch Subodhi, so when Xuanye walked into the courtyard, there was only Patriarch Subodhi in the courtyard.

Respectfully bowed to Patriarch Subodhi, Xuanye said: "Disciple Xuanye, see Patriarch Subodhi." ”

When Xuanye came in, Patriarch Subodhi was sitting at a stone table in the courtyard, holding a scroll of scriptures and looking at it. At this time, Xuanye came in, and Patriarch Su Bodhi didn't look up, but just pointed to a stone bench on the side and said, "You're here again?" ”

Listening to the meaning of Patriarch Su Bodhi's words, it was not the first time that Xuan Ye had come to him.

Xuanye also sat down unceremoniously opposite Patriarch Subodhi. Patriarch Subodhi was still looking at the scriptures, and for a while, neither of them spoke.

After a long time, Subodhi finally put the scripture in his hand on the stone table.

Looking at Xuanye, who was sitting quietly on the side, Su Bodhi seemed to ask nonsensically: "What life is it?"

And Xuanye faced Su Bodhi's seemingly sourceless words, but he responded softly: "The eighth life." ”
