Chapter 242
The cave door opened.
The goddess popped her head out and looked at the monkey kneeling at the door.
“Are you here to seek the truth?” the goddess asked curiously.
Fangcun Mountain had been established for so many years, and all those who came to seek the truth were human beings. This was the first time I saw a monkey.
And this monkey could actually speak human language.
But he clearly had no cultivation.
It was really strange.
The monkey looked at the goddess and nodded repeatedly, saying,”That’s right, that’s right”
“I am a disciple who is devoted to seeking the truth, and I hope the gods will be merciful and take me in.”
The goddess blinked her eyes and opened all the doors of the cave.
“Then come in.”
“Just now the master said that another seeker has come.”
“I thought it was a person, but it turned out to be a little monkey.”
The monkey got up quickly and followed the goddess into the cave with joy.
All the way to the cave, the monkey saw a stream flowing in front of him, winding around the rocks.
On the stone platform in the middle, a young Taoist was sitting cross-legged.
“Are you the one who came here to seek the truth?”
Lu Ge slightly opened his eyes and looked at the monkey in front of him.
Sun Wukong. He finally saw him.
The romance of the Chinese people in the past life, the myth in their hearts.
But now he is still a simple little monkey.
“Exactly. Exactly.”
“Please, immortal, accept me.”
The monkey nodded and begged.
Lu Ge nodded slightly and said,”Where are you from, and what’s your name?”
The monkey scratched his head and said,”I’m from Huaguo Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou.”
“As for my name, I was born from a stone, I have no father, no mother, and no name.”
“All the monkeys in the mountains call me the Monkey King.”
Lu Ge smiled.
“Since you are my disciple, you must have a name.”
“You were born with the body of a monkey, so the character”粵” was removed from the character”兽”, and you were given the surname”孙”.”
“Now my disciples have a generation every fifty years. You are the tenth generation now, so you should be the Wu generation.”
“How about you be called Sun Wukong from now on?”
The monkey laughed and said,”Okay, Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong, I have a name too.”
Lu Ge continued,”Don’t worry.”
“Sun Wukong is your name in our sect.”
“You need a nickname”
“When you are out and about in the future and it is inconvenient, just report another name.”
Sun Wukong seemed to understand and said,”Then please give me another name, teacher.”
Lu Ge’s smile grew wider and wider.
“The monkey, just took the word Sun, now he is a monkey”
“The word”猢” is removed from the beast, and it is Gu Yue.”
“Now that you are my disciple of Fangcun Mountain, I will add the word Fang (cjci) to your name. I hope you will not forget your original intention in the future.”
“Finally, you have the body of an ape, so you have the word ape.”
“From now on, your common name will be”
“Ancient Moon Ape.”
Sun Wukong was a little confused.
“Teacher, what should I be called in the future?”
Lu Ge thought for a moment and said,”In Fangcun Mountain, you are Sun Wukong.”
“After leaving Fangcun Mountain, we will find Gu Yue Fang Yuan.
Sun Wukong nodded repeatedly and said,”I understand. I understand.”
“Then, teacher, when can you teach me the method of immortality?”
Lu Ge shook his head and said,”Look at you, you are so anxious.”
“How can one attain enlightenment if one’s monkey nature has not yet been eliminated?”
“Let’s go to the Sutra Library first, read the classics of hundreds of schools, and sharpen our character.”
Sun Wukong wanted to say something, but Lu Ge waved his sleeves.
The next moment, Sun Wukong’s eyes blurred and the world changed. He opened his eyes and saw that the bookshelves were densely packed in front of him. He glanced at it casually.
What are the thirty-six magical powers of the Tiangang and the seventy-two magics of the Disha.
There are also the divine elephant prison power, the six-path reincarnation fist, the sword-cutting and drawing the sky, and so on.
Sun Wukong was ecstatic and wanted to reach out and take a look. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Just a finger passed by, like exploring the moon in the water.
Those magical scriptures seemed to not exist at all.
Sun Wukong was stunned, not knowing why.
A voice suddenly sounded beside him.
“The teacher said that you should first recite hundreds of classics to sharpen your mind.”[]
“When your mind is at peace, these magical powers will open up to you.”
Sun Wukong turned his head and saw a middle-aged Taoist standing there with a smile on his face.
“Who are you?”
The middle-aged Taoist stroked his beard and smiled,”My Taoist name is Guang Fa.”
“The teacher ordered me to take care of the Sutra Library.”
Sun Wukong nodded in realization and asked,”Where are the classics of the Hundred Schools of Thought?”
Guangfa smiled and said,”Turn around and you will see the classics.”
Sun Wukong turned around and saw many books on the bookshelf behind him.
Tao Te Ching, Analects, Book of Songs, Book of History, etc.
Sun Wukong picked up a book at random and flipped through it. The next moment, he frowned, threw the book aside, and picked up another one to read.
One by one, the books on the ground were all thrown by Sun Wukong.
“What’s the use of reading these books?”
“”No one can live forever.”
Sun Wukong asked irritably.
Guangfa frowned slightly, walked over, carefully picked up the books that Sun Wukong had dropped, and put them back on the bookshelf.
“You are not the only one who has asked this question.”
“Other students have asked the teacher”
“Today I will answer you on behalf of the teacher.
Guangfa put the book back in place and turned to look at Sun Wukong.
“You want to live forever, so let me ask you, what will you do after you become immortal?”
Sun Wukong answered without hesitation,”Of course, I will be free and unfettered from now on.”
Guangfa chuckled and said,”You will get bored.” Sun Wukong was stunned and said,”How is that possible?”
Guangfa said,”At this moment, you have become immortal and returned to the Flower-Fruit Mountain.”
“You eat the fruit of the mountains every day.”
“You drink the spring water in the mountains every day”
“You really won’t get bored?”
Sun Wukong thought for a moment and said,”It seems that I will.”
Guangfa continued,”You are tired of staying in Huaguo Mountain, go to a wider world.”
“But there are only so many pleasures in the world.”
“Like the fruit and spring water in Huaguo Mountain”
“One day, you will have seen the spring, the summer, the autumn, and the winter.”
“You have seen, been, and experienced everything in the world.”
“What will you do then?”
Sun Wukong was silent for a moment. He didn’t know what he would do if that day really came.
“Longevity is not just physical longevity”
“It is also spiritual longevity”
“The soul is empty, even if you are lucky enough to be immortal, you will feel that there is nothing left in the world.”
“At the least, it can lead to infatuation, at the worst, it can lead to the loss of one’s will to die.”
Guangfa took down the Tao Te Ching again and put it in Sun Wukong’s hand.
“To cultivate the Tao, one must first cultivate the mind”
“If your soul is not immortal, even if your body lasts forever, it will be just like a dead tree or a green stone.”
“The best way to cultivate the mind is to comprehend the great way.”
“The Great Way is eternal and inexhaustible.”
“Only He can constantly fill the spiritual void and provide spiritual support for your longevity.”
Sun Wukong looked at the Tao Te Ching in his hand and opened it again.
After all, he was born with divine powers and extraordinary understanding.
At this moment, he already understood the meaning of Guangfa’s words.
In just a moment, Sun Wukong’s monkey nature seemed to have shed some.
He sat cross-legged casually and began to study the classics.
Seeing this, Guangfa nodded slightly, turned around and left without interrupting him.
