Chapter 322

Seven years have passed since Sun Wukong became a disciple of Bodhi Patriarch. In the past seven years, he has learned polite speech, lectured on scriptures, practiced calligraphy and burned incense with his fellow brothers every day.

In his spare time, the stone monkey sweeps the floor, hoes vegetables, grows flowers and plants, prunes trees, carries firewood, fetches water, and does everything.

On this day, Bodhi Patriarch sat on a high platform, exchanged for Zhuxian, and began to preach the great way.

He talked about the sky falling in a mess, the golden lotus emerging from the ground, the wonderful performance of the Three Vehicles, and the subtle and complete Dharma.

Sun Wukong was listening, scratching his ears and cheeks with joy, and then he couldn't help but stand up.

"Sun Wukong, what are you going to do? Sit down quickly."

As soon as Sun Wukong stood up, he scared the red bird and hurriedly told him to sit down.

However, Sun Wukong seemed to have heard nothing and began to dance.

"Master is preaching, why are you dancing and waving your hands halfway through listening to me instead of listening to me?"

Bodhi Patriarch hurriedly stopped and questioned Sun Wukong about his behavior.

"Please forgive me, Master. I listened to you sincerely and was overjoyed to hear the wonderful meaning of what you said, so I started dancing and waving my hands."

After hearing Bodhi Patriarch calling him, Sun Wukong came to his senses and began to admit his mistake to Bodhi Patriarch.

"Since you recognize my wonderful voice, let me ask you, what kind of Tao do you want to learn?"

Seeing this, Bodhi Patriarch asked Sun Wukong what Tao he wanted to say.

"Whatever Master teaches, as long as there is Tao spirit, I am willing to learn."

Sun Wukong answered immediately.

"There are 360 ​​Tao gates, and each gate has a positive result. I wonder which one you want to learn?"

Bodhi Patriarch began to ask Sun Wukong.

"Master, you decide, and I am willing to listen to you wholeheartedly."

Sun Wukong answered obediently.

"I will teach you the way of the Shuzi sect. The Shuzi sect involves asking the gods to help you, asking for divination and casting yarrow stalks, which can help you avoid misfortune and seek good fortune."

Patriarch Bodhi did not make a decision for Sun Wukong directly, but first mentioned a sect and what he could do after learning it, letting Sun Wukong judge for himself.

"Master, if I learn this sect, can I achieve immortality?"

Sun Wukong stared at Patriarch Bodhi, his eyes revealing his desire for the way to immortality.

"It's a pity that learning this sect cannot achieve immortality."

Patriarch Bodhi answered his question expressionlessly.

"In that case, I will not learn this Shuzi sect."

After hearing the answer that he could not achieve immortality, the monkey immediately refused.

"I will teach you the way of the word liu. This school includes Confucianism, Legalism, Mohism, Taoism, Yin-Yang School, and Agricultural School. You can either read the scriptures or chant Buddha, or worship the saints."

Bodhi Patriarch mentioned another school.

"Can you live forever by learning this?"

The monkey asked excitedly.

"Unfortunately, no."

Bodhi Patriarch dispelled his fantasy.

"If I can't live forever, why should I learn from him? I won't learn it."

Sun Wukong said with a look of disgust.

"How about I teach you the way of the word jing?"

Bodhi Patriarch introduced another school to Sun Wukong.

"Master, can this make you live forever?"

Sun Wukong asked impatiently as soon as Bodhi Patriarch finished speaking.

"Unfortunately, this won't work."

Bodhi Patriarch replied expressionlessly.

"This can't make you live forever either. I won't learn it."

Sun Wukong said slightly angrily.

"You monkey, you don't want to learn this or that, what do you want to learn?"

Seeing Sun Wukong's appearance, Bodhi Patriarch was also a little angry at this time, and then walked down from the stage and hit Sun Wukong's head three times, and then left with his hands behind his back.

Those people looked at each other, and they all blamed Sun Wukong, blaming him for getting angry and leaving the master.

"You just angered your teacher away, how can you learn?"

Little Red Bird said worriedly for him.

"Don't be impatient, you will know in a few days."

Sun Wukong comforted him, and he had guessed the meaning of the master hitting him three times and leaving with his hands behind his back.

It was from this time that Sun Wukong learned the real skills of the Seventy-two Transformations, Somersault Cloud, and the Great Heavenly Immortal Art from Bodhi Patriarch.

After learning for about three years, Sun Wukong was already very proficient in these magics. However, once the stone monkey showed his magic in front of his fellow disciples, Bodhi Patriarch found a reason to drive him back to Huaguo Mountain, and did not let Sun Wukong tell others that he learned magic from him.

"Please take care, Master. I will take my leave now."

After saying this, Sun Wukong summoned the somersault cloud and flew towards the direction of Huaguo Mountain in Aolai Country, Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Bodhi Patriarch stood here, watching his figure gradually disappear.

"Daoyou, this is the key person you found to complete your second calamity."Is it a thing?"

"This Lingming Stone Monkey, one of the four monkeys in the world, does have a good foundation and should be able to take on this great task."

At this time, a person suddenly appeared beside Bodhi Patriarch and said to him. Looking closely, this person turned out to be Ao Changsheng's Five Elements Dao Body.

"Daoyou guessed right. He is the person I found to resolve the second calamity."

"In order for him to come here, I laid out the plan early. The patriarch of Dongsheng Shenzhou, Aolai Country, and Huaguo Mountain is one of my disciples. The woodcutter who showed the way to Sun Wukong ten years ago is also one of my disciples. They all did those things to guide Sun Wukong to come here."

"You should know that I started to lay out a plan for him to come here a hundred years ago, and a thousand years ago, I transformed into Bodhi Patriarch to preach here. Hard work pays off, and I finally waited for him."

"He is an important figure in this second calamity. "

Bodhi Patriarch answered Ao Changsheng's question. Bodhi Patriarch was none other than Hongjun Patriarch, who used his great magical powers to divide the third kalpa into three small kalpas.

It is said that the somersault cloud can travel 108,000 miles in one somersault. This is really not an exaggeration. After Sun Wukong stepped on it, he rushed towards the direction of Huaguo Mountain in Aolai Country, Dongsheng Shenzhou. It took less than half an hour for him to return here from Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

You should know that it took him a year to travel from Huaguo Mountain to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain. How could he be so free and happy now? Riding on the somersault cloud, it took less than half an hour for him to return here from Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

Red Bird also accompanied Sun Wukong back.

"Come on, Red Bird, I will take you around my home. "

So Sun Wukong took Hongque to visit Huaguo Mountain. He rode on Qingdao Man, sometimes walking slowly on the ground, sometimes flying in the air, and sometimes jumping into the river and going upstream along the direction of the river.

But just this action brought him great benefits. He arrived at a waterfall along the river. While flying straight up along the waterfall, he suddenly saw something behind the waterfall.
