Chapter 3: Bodhi's Defense is Broken

"No, it's almost ready."

Sun Wukong waved his hands, went back to the cave, lay down on the bed, and felt funny.

I can live another 200 years. If I eat peaches every day, I will be 800 years old.

Use this to test the monkey?

Which monkey couldn't stand this test?

Goodbye to you?
I will continue to swing until the end of time.

I won’t go to the prison in Wuzhi Mountain.

I don't want to be a running dog of Buddhism.

Love so much.

……

Oblique Moon Samsung Cave.

Lingyun had not done his master's job well, and he recounted what had just happened with a sad face.

"Master, that monkey is so lazy, and he even used such vulgar words as "pain in the balls" to evade his disciple. It seems that he no longer wants to practice Taoism."

"You step back."

Patriarch Bodhi frowned slightly and waved his palm-leaf fan.

"Yes."

Lingyun walked out of the cave and closed the door, feeling confused.

There are so many talented and hardworking brothers in Sanxing Cave, why does the founder have a special liking for such a monkey?
After Lingyun left, Bodhi withdrew his gaze and frowned: "The original heart is so fierce, it is also a beast..."

He won't be able to suppress his nature, right?
Sweeping the floor for seven years, removing dust for seven years… still can’t your nature be erased?
This monkey head is the ancient demon ape, transformed from the Lingming Stone Monkey. He used the Heaven-Mending Divine Stone to reshape his body, escape the six realms of reincarnation, and is not subject to the five elements, nor is he contaminated by worldly cause and effect.

Journey to the West, he must slay demons and monsters.

Without him, Buddhism would not be able to spread to the East, and Western religions would not be able to flourish.

There must be no changes...

After thinking for a while, Bodhi sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and moved his fingers quickly to deduce.

Half an hour later, a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes, "Nothing has changed, everything is normal. This monkey...what happened? No, I have to go and see it myself and guide it."

He thought about it and instantly appeared in front of a cave in the back mountain.

Looking inside, wow, pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar were neatly placed on a wooden rack.

There was also a pig's leg hanging on the wall.

This... this is how we live.

Is he going to marry another female monkey?
No, this... isn’t this monkey here to seek a teacher and learn the truth?
That old monkey from Flower-Fruit Mountain who died in front of him, must have made a mistake, right?
Didn’t I act well and he noticed it?
All of a sudden, a lot of random thoughts came to his mind. Bodhi pondered for a moment, then looked at the sleeping Sun Wukong, and after a while, he felt relieved.

no change.

It’s still that monkey.

"Goku."

"Get out!" Sun Wukong shouted angrily.

"Uh……"

Patriarch Bodhi was startled and his long beard began to tremble with anger.

He is a quasi-saint.

Except for the six great saints including Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu and Nuwa Niangniang, anyone who meets him has to give him some face.

It was the first time that someone spoke such nonsense to him.

Sun Wukong was facing the wall and continued, "Who is it? You can't even sleep peacefully. It's so annoying."

"Goku!"

The anger in Bodhi's eyes flashed away, and he suddenly woke up.

I was actually broken in my state of mind by a monkey.

He secretly said "Wulian Tianzun", calmed down, and said calmly: "It's Master."

"As a teacher?"

Sun Wukong knew it was Bodhi, but pretended to be confused.

He rubbed his eyes and sat up, mumbling: "Master, does I, Sun, have a master?"

I said this, but I was thinking:

Old thing!
You can't help it, so you show up in person to see what tricks you are going to play.

Patriarch Bodhi laughed and said, "Why don't you wake up quickly!"

As he spoke, he pointed his finger at Sun Wukong's forehead.

A feeling of coolness penetrated his heart, and Sun Wukong knew that this was Bodhi casting the Heart Purifying Mantra.

Unable to pretend to be asleep any longer, he pretended to open his eyes drowsily, looking shocked.

"Ah, Master, why are you here?"

"You are a monkey, you are quite naughty. You need to hone your character and listen to the sutras for seven years before I can teach you. Otherwise, you will rely on the supernatural powers given by your master and cause great disasters in the future."

"Oh... I understand, disciple."

Wukong looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

"I really understand."

"I understand. Thank you for your teachings, Master."

Isn’t this the solution?
You must first listen to the sutras and temper your character.

Patriarch Bodhi smiled and said, "Master is leaving." "Disciple respectfully sends you off, Master."

Sun Wukong bowed and after Bodhi left, a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Lean back and eat the peach.

……

Oblique Moon Samsung Cave.

Bodhi returned to the cave, sat upright on the cushion, and said calmly:

"Lingfeng, strike the stone chime, the master is going to preach."

Lingyun couldn't help but feel a little strange.

In the past, Bodhi gave sermons once every six months, each lasting three days.

I just finished talking about it a month ago, why are you talking about it again?
He thought for a moment and asked, "Master, do you want to go to the back mountain to call Wukong?"

"Just strike the stone chime."

Bodhi looked calm and composed.

After a little guidance from me, the monkey understood.

As soon as the stone bell is struck, he will surely be very excited and will be the first one to come in and grab a seat as usual.

It's just a wild monkey. Just a few words can convince it.

Thinking of this, Bodhi flicked his whisk lightly, looking detached.

It looks just like Jiang Taigong fishing.

Dang Dang Dang...

After a moment, the ethereal and distant sound of the stone chime spread throughout Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

The master said that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The disciples in the mountains immediately rushed to the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave, hoping to sit in the front seat and listen to the immortal music.

Entering the cave, everyone was talking in low voices.

"Why isn't Wukong here again?"

"Should we go call him?"

Sun Wukong swept the floor for seven years, wiped the table for seven years, and helped his fellow apprentices with a lot of work. He had an extremely good relationship with people.

"Doesn't he live in the back hills?"

"Why don't you come to listen to the sutras every day?"

"strangeness."

Lingfeng was standing on the side of the platform, also a little confused.

What does it mean, the master has given up on Wukong?
"Hehehehe..."

Before the people arrive, the sound arrives first.

Patriarch Bodhi's hearty laughter instantly filled the cave.

The figure gradually became real and appeared on the high platform.

Today, I might as well test the knowledge of these disciples.

But when he glanced at the disciple on the ground, his smile froze.

its not right!
The divine consciousness swept again.
What about the monkeys?

Didn’t he understand?

Didn't he realize it?
One must first listen to the scriptures for seven years and temper his character before he can be granted supernatural powers.

Why didn't he come?
This……

The disciples below also noticed something unusual. They thought that Master must be seriously ill, as the laughter stopped so suddenly.

"Where is Wukong?" Bodhi wanted to pinch his fingers and deduce Sun Wukong immediately, but it would take a lot of time to deduce the secrets of heaven. It was really not worth it for such a small matter.

Ling Feng bowed and said, "Master, after the stone chime sounded, I didn't see Junior Brother Wukong."

"You are fellow disciples, why don't you call him? He is just a wild monkey, his mind is uncertain, you should help him. Forget it, let's not preach anymore today, you all go and see Wukong."

Everyone hurriedly bowed, "We will obey the master's orders."

"go Go."

The disciples dispersed.

Returning to his couch, Bodhi grabbed the palm-leaf fan, fanned himself a few times, then threw it away, anger flashing in his eyes:

"What does this stubborn monkey understand? He is so stupid, a beast, he can't understand human language..."

He cursed a few times, then thought of the monkey just now. After being enlightened, he looked as if he had just gotten some enlightenment, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

Slowly, the old face turned red.

Suddenly, he cried out in a low voice: "Not good," and his face changed suddenly.

Then he sat down on the futon and closed his eyes. After a few hours, he let out a long breath:
"This monkey actually affected my state of mind."

“Spiritual Wind…”

"master."

Ling Feng, who was outside the door, pushed it open and came in, bowing.

"How's Goku?"

Spirit Wind Road:
"The brothers went to the back mountain but didn't find him. Some were waiting there, and some have already returned."

disappeared?
Bodhi was horrified and quickly made hand gestures and started to deduce quickly.
