The years have passed, and the white horse has passed through the gaps, nearly 200 years, and has not left any traces.

The fairy stone on Huaguo Mountain, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon day and night, feels it for a long time, and then has the meaning of being well-informed. Inner breeding immortals. One day bursts, laying a stone egg, as big as a round ball. Because he saw the wind, he turned into a stone monkey. The facial features are complete, and the limbs are complete. So he learned to crawl and walk, and worshiped the Quartet. Eyes and two golden rays of light, shooting at the Doufu.

Haotian knew that this stone monkey was the protector of the Dharma set by the Western Zhun Ti Buddha Mother, so he didn't want to cause trouble, turned a blind eye, and ended up quiet. He only said: "The things below are born of the essence of heaven and earth, and they are not different. ”

The gods paid no more attention.

In the Zixiao Palace, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun's heart moved, and he woke up from the law of enlightenment.

"Has the monkey been born? This matter, the poor Dao still needs to intervene!" Lingbao Tianzun chuckled, a trace of reincarnation condensed in his hand, and slapped it into the East China Sea Dinghai Divine Needle.

"Give you a chance to escape the fate of the chess piece, as for whether you can grasp it, it's up to you. Lingbao Tianzun sighed secretly in his heart, which can be regarded as fulfilling one of his original obsessions.

But that's about it. The opportunity has been given, whether you can find it and grasp it, that is the other party's business.

Lingbao Tianzun's eyes closed, and he no longer thought about these things. The matter of Journey to the West, the disciples are worried about it, if they plan again, it will be too much......

It is said that this stone monkey born from the combination of heaven and earth and the aura of all creatures occupies a place in the Water Curtain Cave and calls himself the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain, but he is also at ease.

On this day, the Monkey King was leading the group of monkeys to drink and have fun in the water curtain cave, and suddenly remembered the death of several old apes before, and his heart was sad and fell into tears. But it turned out to be the number of days, and the Monkey King asked for immortals, and broke into a prestige, so this inspired his desire to seek the Tao.

The monkeys hurriedly asked, and the Monkey King said that he was worried in his heart, and when the monkeys were silent, they saw a topped ape suddenly pop out of the class, saying so and so.

When the monkey king heard this, he felt that something was born in his heart, but it did not appear in his body. Just said with joy: "I will leave you tomorrow and go down the mountain, travel to the ends of the earth, and find an immortal god and Buddha to learn the art of immortality!"

The next day, the monkeys made a bamboo raft and drank and enjoyed another day. On the second day, the monkey king traveled.

"Good, good!" The Gibbon quietly left the monkey group, but it was the future Buddha who was ordered to come in person to stimulate the monkey king's Taoist heart. I saw Maitreya Buddha pointing with his hand, and a golden lotus phantom fell on the bamboo raft, regardless of the turbulent waves above the East China Sea, but he couldn't hurt the bamboo raft for half a minute.

"It's time to find the Dragon King of the Four Seas!"

Subsequently, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas each manipulated the waves of the sea, and the Bodhi Patriarch cast a spell to shorten the distance and send the Monkey King to Nanzhan Buzhou first. This monkey king has been in Zhanzhou in the south for several years, and he has also learned some benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and wisdom, but no one can teach him the art of immortality he expects.

The Monkey King was disappointed and left Zhanzhou in the south, and it was the Bodhi Patriarch who cast a spell to shorten the distance, and the Dragon King of the Four Seas agitated the sea water and sent it to Xiniu Hezhou.

It is said that the Monkey King landed on the shore for a long time, saw the mountain and entered, intending to find the way, but often strayed into the demon cave, if it were not for the good luck on his body, he would have turned into the food in the belly of the demon.

Although he caused all kinds of setbacks, the Monkey King did not give up.

"Good, good!" In the three-star cave of the oblique moon, the Bodhi patriarch happily chanted, and with a wave of dust, the ripples of the Tao rhyme rippled, and the world was turned upside down, and the vicissitudes of the sea were vicissitudes. The patriarch said: "The Buddha is not far away in Lingshan, and Lingshan is in your heart! Since there is fate, today it is time for you and me to meet the master and apprentice!"

This monkey king felt something, turned around and looked, only to see the beautiful mountains, the deep forest foothills, and a unique aura on it flowed endlessly, which was very different from the previous demons and monsters.

"Creation, creation!" The Monkey King scratched his ears and cheeks with joy, forgetting that there was an open space behind him before, "There must be a true immortal who has attained the Tao here, and he should pay a visit! If he can learn the method of immortality, he will be worthy of my years of hard work!"

The Monkey King immediately went up the mountain, and on the way he met a woodcutter, who was the eldest disciple of the Bodhi Patriarch who had taken him in here, and now he specially led the way.

The Monkey King heard that there was indeed a great virtue nearby, and he was overjoyed, and wanted to go with the woodcutter, and after being rejected, he asked the way, went out of the deep forest, found the path, crossed a hillside, about seven or eight miles away, and really saw a cave.

The Monkey King fixed his eyes and saw a stone tablet at the head of the cliff, about three zhang more than high, eight feet wide, there are ten big characters on a line, it is "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, the oblique moon three-star hole".

"It turned out to be a heart word!" After all, it is a Lingming stone monkey, with a smart mind, and he admires the creation in his heart, knowing that the other party is a great supernatural person, and he has never knocked on the door, first jumped on the top of the pine branch, picked pine nuts and ate them to satisfy his hunger.

In the three-star cave of the oblique moon, the Bodhi Patriarch saw the Monkey King's posture, sighed in his heart that his nature was difficult to move, and he made up his mind to discipline the Monkey King strictly.

The Bodhi Patriarch then summoned a boy and instructed, "There is another person outside the door who asks for immortals, and you can lead him in." ”

The boy took the order and left, and soon came to the door, leading the monkey king inside to see the ancestor. When I got under the Yaotai, I saw the Bodhi Patriarch sitting on the platform. There are poems as proof: Dajue Golden Immortal has no dirty posture, and the Western Wonderful Ancestor Bodhi. The three or three elements are immortal, full of energy, all gods, and all compassion. Fasting and silence naturally change, as nature does. With the solemn body of the same life as the sky, the great mage of the bright heart has been tribulated.

When the Monkey King saw it, he immediately bowed down, kowtowed countless times, and said, "Master, Master, my disciple will bow to your heart, and you will bow to your heart!"

The patriarch inquired, and saw that his heart was really strong, so he accepted him as a disciple and gave him the name: Sun Wukong.

The Monkey King was very happy when he got the name and surname given by the patriarch, and he turned over a few fights in succession, and then knelt down and bowed to the patriarch: "Master is merciful, today I know that the disciples also have elders!"

Patriarch Bodhi smiled and nodded.

Exactly: Hongmeng has no surname at the beginning, and Wukong is needed to break the stubborn stone.

Because Sun Wukong is full of animal nature and does not understand human nature, the patriarch ordered the public to lead Sun Wukong out of the second door, teach him to sprinkle and sweep to deal with it, and the immortals came out.

Wukong went to the door, worshiped the senior brother of the public, and arranged a bedroom between the corridors. The next morning, I learned politeness with all the senior brothers, preached the scriptures, learned words and burned incense, and did this every day. In his spare time, he sweeps the floor and hoes the garden, raises flowers and trees, looks for firewood and fires, and carries water and pulp. Everything that is used, everything is prepared. Six or seven years have passed in the cave.

The Bodhi Patriarch, who secretly observed Wukong, saw what he was doing in his eyes and was happy in his heart, and when he saw that he had really calmed down, he decided to start passing on his skills.
