Chapter 4: Get lost! My master is Bodhi Patriarch
A country road at the foot of Fangcun Mountain.
"Someone come quickly, catch the dog thief."
"Someone come quickly, there's a thief in the village."
"Oh my god, you're running so fast, like a monkey."
A group of farmers, holding sticks and hoes, shouted and chased after them.
What are you chasing? Aren’t they just two puppies?
Sun Wukong was speechless. Next time when Erlang Shen attacks me, he will release Roaring Sky Dog, and I can’t be without the dog.
"Quick, kill this dog thief."
"Throwing stones."
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and laughed:
"Who dares to throw it? I want you two dogs to give you face. Do you know who my master is? Have you heard of Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and Xieyue Sanxing Cave?
Have you heard of Bodhi Patriarch? I am his disciple. "
Then, he ran even faster...
……
Oblique Moon Samsung Cave.
"Woo..."
Patriarch Bodhi's old face suddenly fell, and it seemed as if he was holding a breath in his mouth, but he couldn't let it out.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
"You go out first."
"Yes."
Lingyun quickly withdrew.
The cave door slammed shut, and Bodhi's old face suddenly turned red, and he said angrily:
"Stubborn monkey, stubborn and foolish. You stole the mortal's son, and yet you actually announced my name... I miscalculated, I miscalculated."
Even though he was an ancient stone monkey, he was still just a monkey after all, and was too dull...
After panting for a while, he took two deep breaths and his expression finally calmed down: "Lingyun."
"Master, the disciple is here."
Lingyun, who was serving outside the door, pushed the door open quickly and came in, bowing.
"Take the money and quickly head east to search for Wukong. Help him buy the dog. Also, bring him here as well."
what?
Lingyun looked confused. Buy a dog?
"Go quickly."
"Yes."
With a bang, the cave door closed.
Bodhi couldn't help but mutter:
"Monster monkey, so stupid... I never thought, I never thought, a Japanese would buy a dog for him. Fortunately, fortunately..."
He thought to himself that it was fortunate that there were still seven or eight years before Sun Wukong caused havoc in Heaven.
There are very few, or even no, gods who pay attention to him.
Otherwise, it would be a huge disgrace.
A quasi-saint, just for his own reputation, bought a dog for a monkey.
If you tell others about it, you will be laughed at.
Not long after.
Lingyun's voice rang out from outside the door: "Master, Junior Brother Sun is here."
"hehe."
Bodhi was like a master of face-changing. His face was red from anger the previous second, but at this moment he suddenly showed a calm smile:
"Goku, come on, come on."
"Yes, master."
Pushing open the door, Sun Wukong was holding the two puppies and grinning.
Although he had a pointed face and monkey cheeks, he looked honest and simple: "Disciple greets the master."
"Okay, okay, come on, come closer."
After Sun Wukong took two steps forward, Patriarch Bodhi said slowly:
"Wukong, how many years have you been here as my master?"
Little did he know that his smiling face actually made Sun Wukong shudder in his heart.
Is this playing the emotional card?
Come again?
Another routine, huh?
With the mentality of "if the enemy comes, the general will stop him, if the water comes, the earth will cover him", Sun Wukong scratched his head, looking like a blockhead:
"Well, Master, I am a dull disciple. I only remember sweeping the floor and cleaning the table every day. When I was hungry, I would go to the mountains to pick wild peaches to fill my stomach."
"Haha, judging from your words, you seem to be quite resentful towards the Master."
"Master, you are joking. I can't do that. I sweep the floor and wipe the table every day, and my body has become much stronger.
I, the disciple, have to thank the master. By the way, let me just say what happened just now. If the master hadn’t sent Senior Brother Lingyun to save me, I would have been beaten to death by those villains.
Master, your name is not easy to use.
I have already told you your name, and they still dare to chase and beat me, Old Sun."
It would be fine if we didn't talk about buying a dog. As soon as he said that, the muscles at the corners of Bodhi's mouth twitched unconsciously.
He took a deep breath, slowed down, and a calm smile returned to his face:
"Hehehe... Wukong, today you and I, master and disciple, met in the back mountain. Have you understood what I said?"
"Disciple has understood it thoroughly."
Understood?
Now that you have fully understood, come and listen to the sutras.
What exactly did you understand?
Bodhi said speechlessly: "Okay, okay, tell me, what have you realized?"
"Yes... uh..."
Sun Wukong pretended to be stupid, scratched his head, and laughed:
"Master, what did you say in the back mountain? I can't quite remember, so please give me some pointers. Hehe, give me some pointers."
what! ! !
Bodhi's hand trembled, and the palm-leaf fan in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Is this what enlightenment means?
"You monkey, as a disciple of the master, you have to sweep the floor for seven years, clean the dust for seven years, and listen to the sutras for seven years before you can be taught supernatural powers. Do you know why?"
"Disciple doesn't know."
Sun Wukong frowned and lowered his eyes, looking very honest.
What kind of enlightenment is this? Bodhi became even more speechless.
When Sun Wukong first entered the mountains, he worked extremely hard every day, wholeheartedly seeking immortals and learning the truth.
It was the Clever Stone Monkey again. He had thought that this monkey should be very clever.
Who would have known that after just one day of listening to the sutras, his true colors were revealed.
A bad disciple.
He’s not even as smart as the turtle in the pond!
Bodhi looked around the room, suppressed the urge to beat the bad disciple to death, and laughed:
"It takes twenty-one years to learn the magical power, which is just to temper your character. You are a stubborn monkey with an unstable character. If I teach you the magical power early, you will cause a lot of trouble. Do you understand?"
"understood."
Bodhi let out a long sigh. It was explained so clearly. If one still didn’t understand, then there would be no hope for him.
"Remember this: from now on, no matter when, where, or what you do, you are not allowed to reveal your name as your master. Remember?"
"Remember, remember." Sun Wukong nodded repeatedly.
"That's enough, that's enough, I am tired, I will leave now."
Half an hour later.
Bodhi put down the tea bowl and suddenly his heart skipped a beat.
Oh no, what did that monkey understand?
I was so angry at him that I forgot to ask him.
He doesn't understand yet, does he?
"Lingyun, strike the stone chime."
"Yes."
Bodhi's figure flashed and appeared on the high platform of the Taoist temple.
As the sound of "clang clang clang" of stone chimes echoed through the mountains, noisy footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
Soon, the first disciple arrived, and it was not Wukong.
The second one, the second one, came in, bowed, grabbed the cushion and sat down, it was not Wukong.
Hula la.
After a while, the dojo was full of people, but there was no sign of Wukong.
Bodhi closed his eyes and his hands began to tremble.
This demon monkey! So stupid!
What does he understand?
"Goku!!!"
He suppressed his anger and moved his lips slightly. His voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the mountains and fields: "All disciples, come and listen to the sutra."
"All disciples, come and listen to the sutra..."
"All disciples, come and listen to the sutra..."
His voice continued to echo in the mountains.
Back mountain.
When Sun Wukong heard Bodhi's shout, he just found it funny.
Why listen to that bullshit? I have my own way to do things properly. Why should you listen to me?
Love to death.
It’s up to you to listen to the sutras.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly."
Sun Wukong took out the fairy peach that the system rewarded him today, cut it in half, and threw it to Dahuang and Dahei.
The two puppies, who had just opened their eyes, wagged their tails rapidly and whimpered as they nibbled at the food.
