Chapter 82: The final apprentice, the two monkeys learn the arts
Sensing slightly, Zhun Ti found that the power of cause and effect that had fallen on his head had disappeared a lot, and he was immediately overjoyed, arched his hand, and left this space, as for his attitude towards Sun Yuan, he also took a big turn.
Sun Yuan was about to leave, but he saw that Bodhi Ancestor looked stunned, seemed to be in a trance, and then came back to his senses and said, "Originally, I didn't accept you as an apprentice in advance, but you have broken through the one hundred and eight heavenly paths to the sky and the eighteen steps of the trapped immortals, but it is not easy, for your sincere sake, I will accept you as an apprentice!"
"Thank you Ancestor!" Sun Yuan fell to his knees with a thud, and there was a feeling of ascending from hell to heaven in his heart, as if the road ahead was already a dead end, but when he went to the edge of the cliff, there was a cloud bridge below, and Sun Yuan's heart was full of joy for the rest of his life after the catastrophe.
"Thank you Ancestor!" Sun Wukong saw Sun Yuan kneeling on the ground, and did the same, followed closely behind, bowed to Bodhi, and saluted.
"Okay, you two get up!" Bodhi sat on the cloud platform, his hands were long beards, and said, "Now that you have joined my sect, you can be regarded as a cultivator, let me ask you, do you have a name?"
Sun Wukong and Sun Yuan glanced at each other, shook their heads at the same time, Sun Wukong took a step forward and said, "Enlightened Patriarch, the disciple has no father and no mother, since he was born in the stone of Huaguo Mountain, he only knows that he is accompanied by a group of monkeys, and he is free in the world, but he has no name or surname." ”
The patriarch bowed his head slightly, and said loudly, "Since you have entered my door, how can you have a nameless surname." Anyway, if you are free today, I will give you a name, and he will have a name. ”
"Thank you for the name" The two monkeys were overjoyed when they heard this, and they both bowed down.
"Wait and get up, let me think about it. As soon as the patriarch waved his hand to whisk the dust, his sleeves fluttered and he got off the platform, and walked thoughtfully in the cave, Sun Yuan and the others saw that the ancestor was thoughtful, and they didn't dare to come forward to disturb.
After pondering for a moment, the ancestor of Bodhi is the same as recorded in the Journey to the West, giving the stone monkey the surname as Sun, taking the word Wu, the road number is empty, it is for Sun Wukong, and when the Monkey King is grateful, Bodhi glanced at Sun Yuan and said, "Since the two of you belong to the same category, then you are also surnamed Sun, what do you think?"
"Patriarch Xie gave the surname, the disciple was born as an ape, and did not dare to forget the original, so the name took an ape word, and because the disciple has taken off the surname of the beast, he has to hear the teachings of the patriarch, and the avenue is hopeful, so he goes to his beasts, and takes one of the Yuan words, and the disciple is not talented, and is willing to take the name Sun Yuan. Sun Yuan saw that Sun Wukong was overjoyed, and hurriedly replied, but he already had a plan in his heart.
"Sun Yuan, ape, don't forget your roots. Okay, this name is good, although it is not like a person in my Dao Sect, but it is also a little Dao Qi, since you have already decided, I am not good at making any changes, now you are called Sun Yuan!" Bodhi Ancestor glanced at Sun Yuan, nodded and said, but he was a little surprised in his heart, and then he knew a little in his heart. This ordinary monkey's surname looks good, no wonder Bodhi Lao'er insists on taking him as an apprentice, even so, he might as well be a favor.
The two thanked the patriarch, Bodhi simply introduced the two monkeys to the disciples of Tsing Yi, and then said, "Today's sermon is here, my Taoist method, although there are only a few words, but it is broad and profound, you need to experience it with your heart, in order to appreciate the true meaning of my Taoism, you must not be lazy, otherwise it will be like the moon in the mirror, in the end it will be empty." ”
"Thank you for the teachings of the patriarch, we will live up to the expectations of the patriarch, please rest assured. A group of Tsing Yi disciples bowed their hands and said in unison.
"Okay, since this is the case, you wait and practice carefully, these two monkeys have entered my door from now on, you need to treat them carefully, and don't be contemptuous, otherwise if I know, I will not be spared!" The patriarch stood still in front of the court, his eyes scanning the disciples like lightning, although he did not show his heavenly might, but his momentum shocked the audience.
The disciples hurriedly responded, and the patriarch nodded with satisfaction, but pushed open the door and left the place where the sermon was preached.
Immediately, the disciples dispersed, and the cultivation of cultivation, the tea tasting, and the chess playing, but the remaining two monkeys were a little bored.
These two monkeys were also clever, but they did not follow the crowd, but cleaned the preaching place, and in the following days, they picked up some dirty work in the three-star cave of the oblique moon, and then they did it, and so on and forth, they were gradually accepted by everyone.
In leisure time, the two monkeys also go up to the back mountain to play, eat mountain peaches, drink spring water, live a good and not lively, during the period, the Bodhi Patriarch from time to time out of the hole to preach, in Sun Yuan's view, although there is no sky, the vision of the golden lotus of the ground, but it also makes people addicted to it and cannot extricate themselves.
After Bodhi's preaching, Sun Yuan's cultivation of the demon pill period seems to have made great progress, some things that he couldn't figure out in the past, and now in Bodhi's unintentional sentence or two, Sun Yuan can find the answer, so these sermons are the words that Sun Yuan is most looking forward to.
There are a total of more than a dozen senior brothers in the mountains, and their cultivation is not very high in Sun Yuan's opinion, and it is estimated that they are some places to support the façade, but these senior brothers have obtained one or two true traditions, so when they listen to the preaching of Bodhi Ancestor, they have gained more than Sun Yuan in their hearts.
The Monkey King is worthy of being one of the four great spirit monkeys, once he meets a famous teacher, his enlightenment speed is really fast, Sun Yuan and others are far from catching up, just a few years, some of Sun Wukong's theoretical knowledge is more solid than Sun Yuan, a monster of more than 300 years, and his understanding of the nature of heaven and earth has caught up with Sun Yuan, the gap of 300 years has been caught up by Sun Wukong in just a few years, and Sun Yuan doesn't know what the taste is in his heart.
Fortunately, Sun Wukong has an empty realm, and there is no cultivation to match it, Sun Yuan can still be arrogant in front of him, but Sun Yuan knows that he will soon be completely surpassed by this monkey, which only needs an opportunity, and this opportunity is the Jindan Avenue of Bodhi Ancestor.
It's just that Sun Yuan, who is familiar with the history of Journey to the West, knows that it will take a few years for Sun Wukong to obtain the inheritance of Jindan Avenue, so he still has time to plan and plan, speaking of which, this Jindan Avenue is the main reason why Sun Yuan chose to apprentice to Bodhi.
According to the Journey to the West, what these disciples have learned is the way of the three hundred side doors, and although they can eventually ascend to immortals, but it requires arduous training, and its journey is extremely dangerous, and it belongs to the practice of doing twice the work with half the effort.
In the years of getting along, Sun Yuan also knows a little about some exercises, these brothers are not stingy with their respective exercises, according to them, these exercises are selected by the Bodhi ancestors according to their own characteristics, if they are practiced by others, it is mostly in vain, Sun Wukong is not interested in this at all, but Sun Yuan is very interested.
Whether it is the art of asking immortals and asking hexagrams, or the method of meditation and meditation, as long as these brothers and sisters are willing to teach, Sun Yuan is very willing to come forward to learn it, that is, those techniques of drawing talismans to exorcise ghosts, Sun Yuan will not let go, it can be said that he has really achieved as long as there is some Taoism to learn this statement.
As for Sun Wukong, he doesn't look down on these, his biggest gain in recent years is to learn a good stick method, maybe it is a natural reason, Sun Wukong's talent in stick is very strong, among these brothers, now he can have a hand with him in the stick method is the senior brother Long Xuzi.
