He had been a patrolling ape for a hundred years, a servant for a hundred years, and a guardian for a hundred years.
…
The stone apes finally had the chance to meet Patriarch Subhuti.
The stone apes had always been carefree, and they didn't know what fear was.
If anyone else saw Patriarch Subhuti, they would definitely kneel three times and kowtow nine times.
The large and small stone apes were looking around the temple, and from time to time, they would nudge the disciples sitting on either side.
"You two rascals, why aren't you paying your respects to the patriarch?"
The disciples scolded them jokingly.
The stone apes arrived before Patriarch Subhuti and knelt down.
They then kowtowed to Patriarch Subhuti.
"Who are you kneeling to?" Patriarch Subhuti asked.
The stone ape replied, "Patriarch, we brothers came from Flowerfruit Mountain on the shores of the East Sea's Ao Lai River."
Patriarch Subhuti said angrily, "You macaque, how dare you deceive me?"
The stone ape hurriedly said, "This disciple is stupid. How did I deceive you?"
The stone apes had stayed on Mount Innerheart for three hundred years, so they more or less knew the rules. They were much more obedient in front of Patriarch Subhuti.
If anyone else dared to call them macaques, they would probably have pounced on them and started a fight.
Patriarch Subhuti said, "The East Sea is billions of kilometers away from here. There are many beasts in the sea. How did the two of you manage to cross the sea?"
"Ancestor, we brothers wouldn't dare lie. We've been drifting for more than a hundred years, and we've experienced countless dangers before we were lucky enough to reach the Celestial Mountain. We only hope that Ancestor can accept us."
Patriarch Subhuti stroked his white beard and said, "So that's how it is. You two seem to be quite persistent. How many years have you been on my mountain?"
The stone ape replied, "This disciple doesn't know how many years have passed. All I know is that there are wild peaches at the back of the mountain. I've eaten them three hundred times!"
"Three hundred years have passed. Let me ask you, what do you want to learn?" Patriarch Subhuti looked at the stone apes.
When the stone apes heard Patriarch Subhuti ask them what they wanted to learn, they knew that Patriarch Subhuti wanted to take them as his disciples.
They were overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.
The two brothers said in unison, "This disciple is ignorant! What kind of immortal technique does Master possess? "
Patriarch Subhuti smiled faintly. "I have countless wondrous techniques."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "I'll teach you the art of seeking immortals' divination and expelling evil spirits to avoid calamities. Is that alright?"
The two stone apes asked, "Master, can we obtain eternal life like this?"
Patriarch Subhuti replied, "No, no."
The two stone apes said, "Rather than asking for divine advice, why don't we make our own decisions? We won't learn, we won't learn!"
Patriarch Subhuti said, "Then I'll teach you how to chant Buddhist scriptures and descend as a saint. How about that?"
The stone apes asked, "Can we live forever?"
Patriarch Subhuti said, "It's like fishing for the moon in the water."
The two stone apes said, "Master doesn't like to speak straightforwardly. We brothers are honest people and don't know how to speak in riddles. What do you mean by fishing for the moon in the water?"
At this time, the disciples below couldn't help but burst into laughter as if they were mocking the two stone apes for being ignorant.
Patriarch Subhuti said, "The moon hangs in the sky, and the water has its shadow. Although I can see it, I can't touch it. In the end, it becomes nothing."
The two stone apes said, "If that's the case, rather than chanting Buddhist scriptures, why don't we learn? We won't learn!"
Patriarch Subhuti said, "Then how about I teach you how to meditate, abstain from speaking, and abstain from meat?"
The two stone apes asked, "Can we live forever?"
Patriarch Subhuti said, "It's like looking at flowers in a mirror, you can't pluck them even if you want to!"
The two stone apes shook their heads like rattles and said, "We won't learn! Rather than meditating, why don't we use sticks and punches instead?"
Patriarch Subhuti was furious. He knocked on their heads three times before leaving with a flick of his sleeve.
The rest of the disciples all blamed the big and small stone apes for angering their master.
The two stone apes bared their fangs at the disciples.
In the middle of the night, the two stone apes arrived outside Patriarch Subhuti's room.
"Who's there? Why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing here? "
Patriarch Subhuti's voice came from the room.
The two stone apes fell to their knees and said, "Master! Please teach us some real skills. "
Patriarch Subhuti walked out, looked at the stone apes, and said, "Since Pangu created heaven and earth, millions and millions of living beings have given birth to stone apes, but no twin stone apes have ever been born. Perhaps this is fate. I have three thousand great daos, seventy-two supreme immortal arts, and even a technique to ride the clouds. A somersault will allow you to travel all over the world, enter the Nine Heavens, and descend into the Nine Serenities Hell. Do you two want to learn it?"
When the two stone apes heard that there was such a technique, they bared their fangs in excitement. "I want to learn it! I want to learn it! Your disciple will kowtow to you, Master! "
"I will bestow upon the two of you a name. As the elder brother, you will be called Sun Wukong. As the younger brother, you will be called Sun Wukong. I hope that the two of you will abide by your duties in the future. Once you succeed in your cultivation, do more good deeds and bear more good karma. Do not bring calamity to the world. Otherwise, I will not spare you, no matter where you are!"
Patriarch Subhuti warned.
"Thank you, Master! Your disciple will keep it in mind. "
Sun Wukong and Sun Wukong hurriedly said.
…
After a thousand years of cultivation, the two brothers finished their apprenticeship.
They impatiently returned to Mount Huaguo.
The older stone ape called himself the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.
The younger stone ape called himself the Sacred Battle Ape.
The two stone apes occupied the mountain and called themselves kings. They lived a carefree life.
But later, after a hangover …
The Netherworld's Soul Reaper actually took away the souls of the two stone apes.
This caused a huge mess.
The two stone apes had long since used a heaven-defying method to change their fate and jumped out of the Three Realms.
They did not respect the heavens above and the earth below.
They were as high as the heavens.
Even the King of Hell could not take their lives.
In their anger, the two stone apes wreaked havoc in the netherworld.
The Ten Kings of Hell.
They were beaten half to death by the two stone apes.
Then, the two brothers left.
This caused a huge commotion.
It instantly spread throughout the Three Realms and Six Daos.
The Six Great Sages of the monster race.
The Great Sage who Pacifies the Heavens, the Bull Demon King.
The Great Sage who Covers the Seas, the Flood Dragon Demon King.
The Great Sage who Splits the Heavens, the Roc Demon King.
The Great Sage who Moves the Mountains, the Lion King.
The Great Sage who Breathes the Wind, the Monkey King.
The Great Sage of Exorcism, the King of Hell.
These six Great Sages came to Mount Huaguo and became sworn brothers with the two stone apes.
The power of the monster race had developed to its peak.
…
The dream ended here.
Lin Feng woke up.
He sat up straight.
His expression was uncertain.
"This dream … is so real?"
Lin Feng looked at the stone statue of the Sacred Battle Ape.
In his heart …
It was as if a monstrous wave had been set off.
If everything that he had experienced in the dream was real …
That would be too shocking.
It turned out that the legendary Sacred Battle Ape that was almost invincible in an era was only the younger stone ape.
His elder brother, the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, was the older stone ape.
It was rumored that the Sacred Battle Ape was killed by the combined forces of the Heavenly Realm and the Buddhist Realm.
Then where did the older stone ape, the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, go? What was his fate in the end?
This was something that happened countless years ago. Unfortunately, everything had become a mystery.
