The monkey knelt in front of the mountain for more than a month.
At first, the monkey wanted to put on an act and kneel there to beg for immortal opportunities like those hairless monkeys. However, after kneeling for two days, he felt a little hungry and wanted to give up.
The immortals in this mountain are blind. If they don't accept me, it's useless to stay here.
However, when the monkey wanted to stand up, he could not help but think of the clarity of the old monkey in the mountain when he died.
In the past, he had seen many mountain beasts die violently, and he had also seen many trees fall. However, when an old monkey that looked similar to him just stood there motionlessly, he felt an inexplicable sense of fear in his heart.
All living beings were afraid of death, so they sacrificed themselves to cultivate.
What's wrong with him?
King, he's dead. He died of old age! 039;
What is death? It's sleeping for a long time. Is he not talking to us anymore?
Dead … Dead is dead. His body will break down and he will no longer be able to move. He will also become stinky and gradually become a pile of rotten meat. Only a skeleton will be left. Let's bury him, King.
After sending the old monkey to the grave, the monkey suddenly felt that his life in the mountain was not right.
He did not want to die, so he asked the oldest monkey in the group how he could not die.
The monkey probably could not guess that the old monkey was actually an old monk of the Buddhist Sect who had changed him. He had deliberately lured the monkey onto the path of cultivation.
From the old monkey, the monkey learned about immortality. It was the first time he had heard of "Bodhisattva", "Buddha", and "Immortal of Longevity". That was why he had crossed the sea and come to the South Continent to seek immortality.
Along the way, he had been quite free for more than ten winters and summers. However, he had also seen too many mortals' life and death separations.
The Dao heart was determined, and the Dao nature was heavenly.
The monkey's thirst for immortality even made him a little perplexed.
After obtaining this opportunity, the monkey finally found a reliable immortal. Naturally, he did not want to give up. He gritted his teeth and persevered.
He was a stone monkey that was born to abstain from eating. He could casually absorb the surrounding Essence Energy for his own use. He only liked to eat fruits because he learned it from other monkeys.
After enduring for three days, five days, over ten days, the disappointment in the monkey's heart intensified.
However, as long as it heard the chanting of sutras, the sound of zither, and the striking of bells from within the mountain gate, and saw the uneasy figures riding on the clouds, the monkey's eyes were filled with yearning.
At times, he wanted to get up and leave, but at other times, he felt that he had to seize the opportunity. With this contradictory mentality, Monkey held on for a month and a half.
On this day, the sun was about to rise.
In the main hall of the Cave of Crescent Three Stars, Yang Jian was sitting under the statue of the Three Pure Ones. He seemed to be in a trance.
Outside the hall, Qing Shan was lecturing about Chanism and the great path of cultivation to over twenty disciples. The sound of a zither could be heard coming from a small building on the side. Just like that, Fangcun Mountain welcomed a new morning.
Huo Yun walked past the gate and looked at the kneeling monkey. Sighing inwardly, he turned and walked back into the monastery.
After entering the main hall, Huo Yun came before Yang Jian, bowed and said, "Master, that spirit monkey has been kneeling outside the mountain for 49 days."
Yang Jian slowly opened his eyes. "Today is the forty-ninth day?"
"Yes, Master."
"Time has passed quite quickly," Yang Jian muttered. He slowly stood up and said, "Follow me and take a look."
"Yes." Huo Yun quickly bowed. After Yang Jian stood up, he followed behind Yang Jian and walked out of the hall.
Qing Shan, who was sitting on a praying mat in front of the hall, quickly stood up and greeted him as Master. The boys and girls dressed in Daoist robes also quickly stood up and greeted him as Master.
"Just continue with your lecture," Yang Jian said indifferently. Then, he flicked his horsetail whisk and thought about how Taishang Laojun walked. He also started to imitate him.
It really had a kind of immortal aura.
Actually, by right, Yang Jian should have been sitting in the hall and let Huo Yun lead the monkey in.
However, Yang Jian felt that no matter what, he had to give the monkey some respect. Even if this respect could not be known to outsiders, he only wanted to feel more at ease.
So, he personally came out. After the monkey expressed enough sincerity to become his disciple, he walked out.
At this time, the monkey could not eat, but it was basically a strong 'mortal'. It was not easy to kneel for forty-nine days. How could he force it?
There was no one pushing or pulling the mountain gate, but it slowly opened with a slight creak.
The monkey, who was originally kneeling there in a daze, trembled and quickly looked up. His eyes were filled with light.
He looked at the mountain gate. The old immortal with the demeanor of a crane slowly walked out. His Daoist robe fluttered even though there was no wind. His gray hair had the charm of an immortal.
Immortals talk about immortal bones, immortals drink immortal nectar.
Where immortals go, there is only this mountain.
The monkey's reaction was extremely fast. He suddenly shouted, "Master!" His legs were a little numb and he could not stand up. He directly moved a few steps forward and kowtowed like pounding garlic.
"Master! I … I, disciple is willing to seek the path of immortals, disciple is willing to seek the path of immortals! "
Bang, bang, bang. The monkey started kowtowing, but he did not stop.
Yang Jian said, "The word 'Master' can't be said casually. Get up first. Don't kneel."
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master."
The monkey smiled happily. His legs were a little numb and he could not stand up. Fire Cloud, who was at the side, cast a spell to summon a cloud and wrapped the monkey up slowly.
Seeing such a mystical ability, the monkey's eyes lit up. He lowered his head and looked left and right, exclaiming in admiration.
Yang Jian chuckled softly in his heart. This monkey was hard to hate.
Fire Cloud said, "Don't be impudent in front of Master. Do you want to become his disciple and seek the Dao?"
"Yes, yes." The monkey hurriedly nodded. He looked at Yang Jian, but he did not dare to look at Yang Jian. In the end, he could only smile in embarrassment. "Master, please accept me as your disciple. I want to cultivate so much that I'm going crazy."
Yang Jian did not change his expression. He only asked, "If you want to become my disciple, you have to ask about your background. Where is your home? How many parents and siblings do you have? "
"My home is in Mount Huaguo Mountain in Ao Lai Country of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent. I don't have any parents or siblings. I was born from a rock. An old monkey said that I was raised by the heavens and that I'm a good seedling for cultivation."
He boasted in a serious manner, but he said it very seriously and openly. Yang Jian could not help but smile.
Fire Cloud, who was at the side, reprimanded, "Nonsense! Who isn't born from a mother and raised by a father? How can I be born from a rock?! "
"It's true, it's true. I don't dare to lie to Master. I really was born from a rock!" The monkey panicked and hurriedly explained, afraid that this old immortal would chase him away because of this.
"Fire Cloud," Yang Jian said calmly, "I've been to Mount Huaguo Mountain. There's only a group of monkeys there. Come forward."
The monkey had mostly recovered by now. When he heard that, he hurriedly walked forward. He saw the old immortal stretch out a hand and put his head over very intelligently.
He touched the bones.
Yang Jian quietly used a trace of Xuanqi to explore the monkey's body. He was surprised to find that at the monkey's heart meridian, the shackles of heaven and earth sealed a vast and boundless Dharmic power.
The muscles and bones were made by heaven. With a little polishing, they would become an extremely strong physical body. The flesh and blood contained spirit. This was a natural cultivator of the physical body.
As long as the monkey could enter the door, not to mention the sealed Dharmic power, this natural mystic body would be enough for him to rush to the Daira realm very quickly.
He was indeed a Tribulation Taker who dealt with the Great Tribulation of the supreme experts.
In that case, he really had to polish his temperament …
Polishing was not blindly suppressing his nature. Appropriate guidance and encouragement were necessary, especially at that moment. Yang Jian saw some confusion in the monkey's eyes.
"You're right. A spirit fetus raised by the heavens and earth is an excellent seedling for cultivation," Yang Jian said slowly. The monkey was instantly overjoyed.
Yang Jian continued, "Connate spirits are quite rare now. You should be the only one who has yet to cultivate. However, all living things are from the illusory to the real. There is no difference between life and death. Although you can be happy about that, don't be proud of it. In that case, you can stay. "
"I understand, I understand!"
Fire Cloud coughed at the side. "Hurry up and greet Master."
"Master …"
The monkey was stunned. Then, he pondered over the words of the old immortal. His eyes lit up and he hurriedly knelt down. "Greetings, Master!"
"Get up," Yang Jian said calmly. "Since you want to acknowledge me as your master, you still need to tell me your ambition. What's your surname?"
"I have no personality. Along the way, those hairless monkeys … I was not angry when they hit me. I was not angry when they scolded me. I only bowed to them …"
Yang Jian smiled and said, "I'm asking for your name, not your temperament."
This monkey is really good at talking. Why didn't he mention that he had killed people in a rage and bitten those mortal soldiers to death?
Anyway, no matter what, he had to change his name when he entered the sect later.
The monkey scratched his head awkwardly. "I have no name or surname."
Yang Jian nodded. He originally wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he simply said, "In that case, I'll give you a name. Ten thousand years of seeking the Dao are all for enlightenment. When the calamity comes, it is all for naught. Now that the calamity of heaven and earth is coming, who knows how many cultivators with profound cultivation will be annihilated. In that case, you will be called Wukong. "
"Wukong … Wukong … Thank you, Master, for giving me a name! Thank you, Master! "
The monkey was inexplicably excited. He kept muttering the two words' Wukong 'and grinned. If he had not tried hard to control himself, he would have already started doing somersaults on the spot.
"Master, I have a name. Can you give me a surname?"
"Although you are a spirit embryo, you are born with the appearance of a monkey. The character 'monkey' next to the character 'beast' is Gu Yue. The moon represents the moon, which is not suitable for you. The character 'monkey' next to the character 'beast' is Sun. Not bad. In that case, your surname will be Sun. "
"Sun? Sun Wukong … Thank you, Master, for giving me a name! Sun Wukong … Thank you, Master. "
"Huo Yun, take him to the hall to pay respects to the Three Pure Ones' Patriarchs. Then, help him change his clothes. Tomorrow, I will give a sermon. All disciples must not be absent."
"Yes," Huo Yun replied respectfully.
Yang Jian intentionally shook the monkey and gently shook the horsetail whisk. His figure turned into a cloud and gradually dissipated with the wind.
Sun Wukong stared blankly. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Sun Wukong … I, I have also paid respects to Master. Master even gave me a name. I wonder how the children in the mountain are doing …"
"Junior Brother Sun." Huo Yun stood at the side with a smile. "Come with me. Let's go change our clothes first. Then, we will go to the hall to pay respects to the Three Pure Ones' Patriarchs."
Sun Wukong nodded repeatedly and gestured to Huo Yun as a senior brother in a very experienced manner.
However, when he followed behind Huo Yun and stepped up the stairs, he saw rare and strange beasts jumping around on both sides. They couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
On the cloud, when Yang Jian saw this scene, he felt a little emotional.
This kind of aptitude really made him a little envious …
However, when he thought about the ups and downs he had experienced along the way and the people who came and went by him, these experiences made the Perfected Lord of Purity and Magic who he was today. This was something that others could not be envious of.
This monkey …
