Chapter 14: Return to Huaguo Mountain

Bodhi let out a long breath and thought carefully for a moment.

He glanced at the trembling Lingyun and cursed inwardly, saying that he was so stupid and as dull as that monkey.

"Come closer."

"Yes."

Bodhi opened his lips slightly, and a series of mantras rushed into Lingyun's mind.

After a moment, he asked, "Do you remember it?"

"Disciple remembers it."

"This method is called Somersault Cloud. Go and teach it to Wukong."

"Bang..."

The cave was closed, and Bodhi thought secretly, never mind, never mind, although that evil creature is dull, at least he doesn't cause any trouble.

Just let him stay in the mountains.

Seven years later, I will ask Laojun for a few golden pills so that he can enter the Taiyi Golden Fairyland.

But I must never see this evil creature again.

He actually regarded reciting mantras as practicing. He was as stupid as a pig.

If I see him a few more times, my mood will definitely be greatly damaged.

What a curse.

"Ancestor..." A majestic and solemn voice suddenly sounded in the cave.

Patriarch Bodhi nodded solemnly: "World Honored One."

"Well, the pilgrim has just been buried in the Flowing Sand River and has entered the third reincarnation. In the next seven lives, he will be born in the East. What about the monkey?"

Although Tathagata and others can calculate the situation of Sun Wukong.

But it does take a lot of effort.

Bodhi shook his head and sighed, "How foolish! He actually regarded chanting sutras as spiritual practice. He recited the Great Heavenly Immortal Art and the Seventy-two Earthly Demon Transformations for a whole year. I am so angry."

Tathagata said "hmm", showing no sadness or joy, as if he was calculating.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "This monkey is an ancient demon ape, the Spiritual Stone Monkey, and should be very intelligent. Why is it like this? But it pretends to deceive the ancestor."

"No, no."

Patriarch Bodhi waved his palm-leaf fan and said calmly:

"He is ignorant of the general situation, does not ask for the way of heaven, and is only seeking immortality. He practices diligently every day, and there is absolutely no deception or pretense."

"That monkey has no cultivation at all. I still need you to worry about this."

"It doesn't matter. I have already made plans."

"Amitabha……"

The solemn and majestic voice of Tathagata finally dissipated.

……

Back mountain.

In the cave.

Lingyun angrily asked, "Wukong, you have been reciting the Great Heavenly Immortal Art for a year?"

"Yes, I have been practicing hard for a year, why did Master beat me?"

Sun Wukong was laughing to death in his heart, but he pretended to be aggrieved and did not bow. He lay on the bed with his head buried in the quilt.

Lingyun shook his head helplessly.

You might say he is not diligent, but he has been reciting scriptures for a whole year.

Say he works hard, but chanting sutras is of no use.

Seeing that Sun Wukong was feeling extremely aggrieved, he felt that this junior brother of his was both pitiful and annoying.

Never mind, Wukong is indeed a little dull, so I will give him more guidance.

"Wukong, get up! Master wants to teach you the Somersault Cloud."

"Not learn."

"No, Wukong, this somersault cloud can take you a great distance with just one somersault. You really don't want to learn it."

"No, no, no, never again."

"Oh, you... okay then."

Lingyun stretched out his hand and grabbed, and a piece of paper and pen appeared in his hand.

With a few swishes, he wrote the mantra of the somersault cloud on a piece of paper, then stepped on the auspicious cloud and flew towards the mountain ahead.

After entering the Three Stars Cave of the Slanting Moon, he bowed and said, "Master, Wukong is very aggrieved. He will not learn anymore."

Bodhi snorted.

Damn it, he still feels wronged.

Taking chanting as spiritual practice is as stupid as a pig.

"Forget it, forget it, if you don't want to learn, then don't learn."

Lingyun said: "Master, don't worry, I will step up my supervision from now on."

"No, you don't have to go either. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, just ignore him." Lingyun was a little confused, but still bowed and said, "Yes."

……

Cold comes and summer comes.

Seven years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Sun Wukong rode on a peach tree and looked out at the beautiful scenery of the mountains.

suddenly.

The system prompt sounds.

[Host detected, seven consecutive years of failure, reward 8400 years of practice experience. ]

[The host is detected to be carrying...]

"Choose the Nine Revolutions Profound Art."

Return to the cave that night.

Sun Wukong lay on the bed, thinking secretly that he had to delay it as long as he could, one day at a time.

The longer you stay in jail, the lower your chances of going to jail.

It’s just strange that old Bodhi and Lingyun are ignoring me.

Six years and nothing happened. It's so strange.

After thinking for a while, he wanted to turn over and sleep, but he found that he couldn't turn over at all, even his fingers couldn't move, and he was shocked.

Just as I was about to shout, I felt my eyes go dark and I could not see anything.

Then, a stream of juice mixed with the aroma of plants and trees flowed into the mouth.

A big hand pressed on the chest, guiding the surging spiritual energy in the juice to flow through the acupoints all over the body.

Finally, they all returned to the spiritual platform.

Sun Wukong only felt that his spiritual platform was like a dark abyss filled with spiritual energy.

After a while, my whole body relaxed and I was able to move my fingers.

I opened my eyes, but the cave was empty.

The big yellow and the big black at the entrance of the cave were sleeping soundly, without any sound.

It must be Bodhi who took action.

Sun Wukong pondered and thought, I was wondering why he ignored me and didn't care about my progress in cultivation, it turns out he wanted to infuse me directly.

When the old guy made a move, I couldn't even move.

It seems that giving up is the right thing to do.

These old fellas have lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years each. With only 8400 years of martial arts experience, I am no match for them at all.

By the way, what is my current level of cultivation?
He quickly opened the panel.

【Host: Sun Wukong】

【Lifespan: 23944】

【Root bone; Ancient Demon Ape】

【Cultivation: Taiyi Golden Immortal】

[Divine Power, Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, Golden Eyes to Break Illusions, Thirty-six Changes of Tiangang]

【Magic weapon; none】

"With a lifespan of 23,000 years, Taiyi Jinxian, it seems like he still has to show off..."

Sun Wukong sighed and gradually fell asleep.

……

Day two.

early morning.

Lingyun came and asked Sun Wukong to go and pay a visit to Patriarch Bodhi.

Standing on the auspicious clouds, Sun Wukong thought to himself, this is going to drive me away.

Let's see what reasons he uses.

Entering the Three Stars Cave, Bodhi had a gentle smile on his face:
"Wukong, you have a profound wisdom. In just seven years, you have entered the Taiyi Golden Fairyland. Your master is very pleased.

But all good things must come to an end. Our relationship as a master and disciple has come to an end. Let’s go down the mountain.”

You don't even have a reason, right?
Sun Wukong hugged Bodhi's thigh and said, "Master, I won't leave. I want to serve you."

Seeing his sincere look, Bodhi couldn't help feeling touched. This monkey may be a little stupid, but he is still filial to me.

He then pretended to be slightly angry and said, "You monkey, everything in the world has its own destiny. Our fate has ended. Get down the mountain quickly."

"Master, I have nowhere to go after I go down the mountain." Sun Wukong began to prepare for the subsequent bad performance.

"The Flower-Fruit Mountain is the ancestral vein of the Ten States and the source of the Three Islands. You can go back and practice well."

"I won't leave. I won't leave." Sun Wukong hugged Bodhi's thigh tightly and started to act like a spoiled child.

Bodhi waved his palm-leaf fan and said, "Go ahead."

Sun Wukong suddenly felt that he was surrounded by clouds and mist. Where was Fangcun Mountain?
