I'm doing some practice on the Westward Journey

Chapter 181 Cultivation never remembers the years, breaking the obstinate Wukong, the gods!immortal! !

Thousands of peaks row halberds, ten thousand people open their screens;
The sun reflects the hazy light and locks the emerald green lightly, and the dark color is cold and green when the rain gathers.

The crowing of the birds is near, and the sound of the source is clear;
If the undulating mountain head has a good dragon vein, there must be an expert who hides his name.

The monkey first saw the mountain from the bottom of the mountain.

I feel that the mountains here are beautiful and the scenery is abnormal.

Even compared with my own Huaguo Mountain, which is thousands of miles away overseas, it is not bad at all.

Just a little less fruit trees.

Thinking about it, if I were a god, I would definitely live in such a big mountain.

really
He was not disappointed. Not long after entering the mountain, he suddenly heard singing coming from ahead.

Wearing a straw skirt to cover his crotch, a straw hat to shade his head, and a black iron rod on his shoulder, he trotted swiftly and nimbly along the dense forest trail with great joy in his heart.

"Recognize the old forest, climb the cliff and cross the ridge, and break the withered vine with an axe."

"Collect it into a load, and in Xingge Market, Yimi will cost three liters."

"There is no competition, and the current price is flat"

The heroic singing became clearer.

Looking at the dense forest ahead, the monkey felt even more joyful.

"I think I must have found the right place this time"

The monkey walked forward quickly, and its figure became more and more flexible.

Wearing thorns, jumping over mountains and rocks, walking trails.
The body shape is extremely flexible.

"No scheming, no honor or disgrace, calm and prolong life"

"Where we meet, there is either immortality or Taoism, sit quietly and talk about "Huang Ting"."

The singing continued to come from ahead.

This time, the monkey heard it clearly, and the fairy was right in front of him.

The monkey's expression became more and more joyful, and he quickly jumped over a boulder, flipped and jumped down, and turned a corner along the path, and saw in front of him a man wearing a bamboo hat, carrying firewood on his back, and a hatchet hanging on his waist. He was going down the path, singing the heroic woodcutter.

The monkey couldn't care less, stepped forward quickly, bowed and said: "Old Immortal, the disciple has started."

The singing stopped abruptly.

The Ruoli woodcutter looked at the monkey that suddenly rushed in front of him, his expression panicked, he immediately threw away the firewood on his back, and said hastily, "You're not a human being! You're not a human being!"

"I'm a humble man who doesn't have enough food and clothing, so how dare I be called an 'immortal'?"

The monkey immediately said: "You are not a fairy, how can you speak the words of a fairy?"

The Ruoli woodcutter: "What fairy tale did I say?"

Monkey: "I just came to the edge of the forest. I only heard you say: 'When you meet, you are either a fairy or a Taoist. I sit quietly and talk about "Huang Ting".

The Ruoli woodcutter smiled and said, "So you said this, but I'm not going to hide it from you. The name is "Man Ting Fang", which was taught to me by a god."

The woodcutter explained in detail.

Only then did the monkey believe that he was not a god, and immediately said: "Since you have seen the god, you still want to show me the way. Where does the god live, so that I can visit it. If I get benefits, I will never forget your way." Well, how is it?"

The woodcutter laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this?"

"Let me tell you, this mountain is called Lingtai Fangcun Mountain."

"There is a three-star cave with a slanting moon in the mountain, and there is a fairy in that cave, named "Patriarch Subhuti."

"The patriarch has many apprentices, and now there are 40 or [-] people practicing under him."

As he said that, the Ruo Li woodcutter turned around, pointed to the secret path behind him and said, "Follow that path, go straight ahead, walk seven or eight miles, and you will be his home."

"I see."

The monkey was overjoyed when he heard the sound, and immediately said: "Thank you, thank you, if I can become a disciple of the gods, I will never forget your kindness today."

The Ruoli woodcutter shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's fate to meet each other, so how can we talk about thanking you."

"Go on your own, I have to go home, my mother is still waiting for me."

Say it.

The Ruoli woodcutter stooped to pick up the firewood he had just dropped on his back, sang the song just now, and walked down the mountain.

Find out where the gods live.

The monkey became more and more happy, ignored the woodcutter who was about to go down the mountain, and was about to walk up the mountain. After walking a few steps, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately turned his head and said, "Wait a minute"

It's just that when he turned his head, there was no woodcutter behind him, and the singing disappeared.

The monkey was startled.

He was always smart, and immediately remembered what the woodcutter said, "follow that path, go straight ahead, walk seven or eight miles, and you will be his home."

He still remembers the fairy house very clearly.

But when I think about the appearance of the woodcutter just now, I don't see the slightest impression. I only remember that the other party is wearing a hat, and I can't remember anything else.

Ordinary people encounter such weird things like this.

He must be scared out of his wits.

But monkeys are different, the more they think about it, the happier they feel.

"The gods guide the way."

"I didn't admit my mistake, just now it was the gods who showed me the way."

"What the god said must be the house of the gods."

Thinking of this.

The monkey had no other thoughts.

Carrying the iron rod on his shoulders, he walked quickly towards the mountain path.

This go.

Just one day.

The sky gradually darkened.

The monkey sat on a rock by the side of the road, with iron rods at his feet, and a mountain fruit in his mouth. He was puzzled and said: "In the morning, the god said that the home of "Patriarch Subhuti" was only seven or eight miles away, but I don't know where to go." It’s not just one seven or eight li a day, but also three or four seven or eight li?”

"But why can't I see the 'Slanting Moon and Three Star Cave' that the fairy said?"

"Could it be that you have gone astray?"

Monkey frowned thinking of this, and immediately shook his head: "No, no!"

"I just followed the road, this is the only way here, how can I go wrong!"

"Or is that fairy lying to himself?"

"That's not right, that fairy is not related to me."

The monkey bit the mountain fruit and was very puzzled.

At this time.

A cold wind blows.

The monkey couldn't help trembling all over, and felt vigilant in his heart. He didn't eat the wild fruit, and picked up the iron rod at his feet.

Turn around.

Suddenly, he saw a big guy standing under a tree in the distance ahead.

The whole body is yellow and white, with black "king" pattern on the forehead, very strong limbs, and fierce eyes.

What an eye-catching white-fronted worm!
The monkey held the iron rod tightly with both hands, and looked at the big worm without any fear.

He was once fortunate enough to be taught by the gods, who passed on his excellent staff skills.

Relying on the stick technique taught by the god, and relying on the iron rod in his hand, he has killed countless snakes, wolves, tigers and leopards who were watching him over the years.

Now this big worm is in front of him, although he is much bigger than the beasts he encountered before, he is not afraid at all.

As long as the big worm dared to come forward, he would have to eat the roasted worm tonight.

As if realizing that the monkey in front of him was not easy to mess with, or that the monkey had little flesh, the tiger sized the monkey up, turned and left.

a while.

Seeing that the big worm really left instead of hiding aside.

The monkey breathed a sigh of relief.

Mouth suddenly feel hungry.

So he immediately tied the iron rod to his back, took two steps in three steps, and quickly climbed up the tall fruit tree not far away, picked a few fruits, and sat on the trunk to eat.

Eat and eat.

The monkey then remembered the scene where he saw the fairy when he was in Huaguo Mountain.

It's a pity that the god said that he didn't have enough fate.

It is only passed on to him that he has a whole body of stick skills.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have to cross thousands of mountains and cross thousands of rivers to find immortals here overseas.

It was getting dark.

The monkey sat on the tree and ate a stomach full of berries.

I don't even have the mind to go on my way.

Instead, he found a better position on a tall fruit tree, hugged the iron rod in his arms, and fell asleep leaning against the trunk.

He usually spends the night in the mountains like this.

The same is true tonight.

A quiet night.

The next morning.

It was just getting brighter.

The monkey woke up from the early morning birdsong in the forest.

Standing on a tree trunk took a pee.

The monkey is full of energy.

Immediately, he packed some wild fruits, got off the fruit tree, and went forward again. .

He continued on the road pointed by the god yesterday.

This time.

Before walking too far, the monkey chewed the mountain fruit and turned a small intersection, the sky and the earth brightened in front of him.

There are poems:
Haze scattered colors, the sun and the moon shake light.

There are thousands of old cypresses, and thousands of knots are repaired.

Thousands of old cypresses, green in the sky with rain;

Ten thousand festivals are repaired, and the color of the gully is gray with smoke.

From time to time, I heard that the cranes were jittering, and every time I saw the phoenix soaring.

When the cranes are chirping, the sound vibrates nine high and the sky is far away;

The phoenix soars up, its feathers and feathers glow with clouds of five colors.

The black ape and the white deer can be seen at will, and the golden lion and jade elephant can be hidden anywhere.

Take a closer look at Lingfu Land, it's really a Paradise!
Watching the sudden transformation into a fairy mountain and blessed land in front of you.

The monkey had no time to rejoice, so he saw with his sharp eyes that there was a closed mountain gate looming under a tall green pine tree in front of him.

The joy in my heart is too late for words.

The monkey was excited, and immediately threw away the unfinished mountain fruit in his hand, and immediately ran towards the mountain gate.

Not far from the mountain gate.

The monkey saw a stone tablet standing impressively beside it. The stone tablet was more than three feet high and eight feet wide. There was a line of big characters written on the stone, which read: "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Slanting Moon and Three Star Cave".
"If that's the case, then the god didn't deceive me"

The monkey still couldn't forget what the fairy at the foot of the mountain said, so he became more and more happy at this moment.

Arrive at the foot of the tall green pine in a few steps, before closing the mountain gate.

The monkey straightened his grass skirt, moved the straw hat again, thought for a while, and immediately took off the straw hat again, threw it aside, and then stepped forward, raising his hand to knock on the door.

But it stopped.

Some hesitation.

The monkey still didn't dare to knock on the door.

I had to step back and wait.

But monkeys are active by nature, and they just feel uncomfortable after waiting for a long time, so they climbed to the side of the green pine to play.

The green pine is tall and tall, and you can see the inside of the mountain gate by climbing up.

But the monkey didn't even dare to knock on the door, for fear of disturbing the immortal, and even less dared to climb up to peek.

I just picked a few pine nuts and played with them while waiting in front of the mountain gate.

This wait.

Just waited until dark.

The gods are close at hand, but they are out of reach.

The really anxious monkey scratched his head.

He stepped forward several times, intending to reach out and knock on the door, but he held back.

in this way.

The monkey had to sleep in the tree for another night.

Early the next morning.

The monkey woke up to the sound of cranes chirping.

Stand up as usual, and stand on the tree to take a pee.

at this time.

"Squeak."

Suddenly, there was a sound from below, and the mountain gate, which had been closed for a whole day and night, opened.

The monkey's face was startled, his eyes swept around, and he immediately woke up to where he was.

Startled, he immediately suppressed the urgency that was about to gush out.

That uncomfortable one.
Below the mountain gate, I saw a fairy boy walking out of it. He was really handsome and majestic, with a strange appearance, different from ordinary people.

But see him:
A bun and double silk ribbon, a wide robe with two sleeves.

The appearance is different from the body, and the heart is empty.

Wuwai, a long-time visitor, Yongshoutong in the mountains.

Spotless, Jiazi was tossed.

Xiantong opened the door and said, "Who is harassing here so early in the morning?"

The monkey immediately jumped off the green pine and stepped forward, bowed and said: "Xiantong, I am a disciple who seeks immortals and Taoism, so I dare not disturb you here."

Xiantong asked, "Are you visiting Taoism?"

Monkey: "Yes"

Xiantong said again: "The teacher is about to go to the altar to give a lecture. He said that there is an interviewer from outside. It must be you. Come with me."

Say it.

Xiantong turned around and left.

The monkey immediately straightened up his hula skirt again, and then quickly followed behind Xiantong.

This one enters the mountain gate.

The color changed in an instant.

Layers of deep pavilions and Qionglou, continuous;
As soon as you enter the Pearl Palace, it is gorgeous and shining;

Seeing it, the monkey was amazed in his heart, this is the fairy mansion.

His expression became more and more cautious.

Follow the fairy boy to go deep into the Immortal Mansion.

Soon.

Then go to the depths of the Immortal Mansion, a place where quiet rooms live in seclusion, under the Yaotai.

The monkey saw a patriarch sitting upright on the stage, with dozens of little immortals standing on both sides of the stage.

Sure enough:
Dajue Jinxian has no dirt, Bodhi, the ancestor of the Western Miracle;
The three or three acts of immortality and immortality, full of qi, full of spirit, and myriad benevolence.

Emptiness is naturally subject to change, just as one's own nature does at will;

The solemn body of the same life as the sky, the great master of Mingxin through calamities.

As soon as the monkey saw the majestic patriarch, he immediately stepped forward, fell down and kowtowed, and kowtowed desperately: "Master! Master! Disciple, I will pay homage! I will pay homage!"

The patriarch said: "Which family are you from? Let's say the name of the village and understand it, and then worship"

After some dialogue, I asked about the origin of the monkey.

The patriarch was happy and said: "There are twelve characters in my school, and they are assigned names until you are the tenth generation of disciples."

The monkey said: "Which twelve characters?"

Patriarch: "It is Guang, Da, Wisdom, Wisdom, Truth, Ru, Xing, Hai, Ying, Enlightenment, Yuan, and Jue. It is the twelve characters of "Wu". Sun Wukong'how?"

The monkey was very happy, and excitedly bowed: "Good! Good! Good!"

"Thank you, Master, for choosing the name. From now on, I will be called Sun Wukong!"

As the saying goes:
At the beginning of Hongmeng, there was no surname.

summer.

In the early morning of Wuzhuang Temple, one wakes up to the sound of birdsong.

Although Wuzhuang Temple is a cave.

Although the weather is the same as the outside world throughout the year, the temperature is constant, warm as spring, comfortable and pleasant.

It was just getting brighter.

Lu Wufei opened his eyes from meditation.

summer morning.

The sky is getting brighter earlier and darker than ever.

In the old days, it was still dark.

But at this time, the eastern sky has faintly revealed a white glow.

Lu Wufei got up and walked out of the bedroom.

Come to the table and sit down.

Start making tea.

Soon.

The tea was boiling, and the aroma of tea began to overflow.

"squeak"

On the window sill, Xiao Bai woke up smelling the aroma of tea, got up and stretched as usual, then jumped off the window sill, walked slowly to the side of the old man, jumped onto the table, yawned and stood aside waiting for morning tea.

Since returning to the mountain this time, Lu Wufei has been in the habit of brewing a pot of spiritual tea every morning when he wakes up.

Xiaobai is also used to being woken up by the aroma of tea every day.

soon.

The spirit tea had enough time to cook, so Lu Wufei turned off the fire, picked up the teapot and poured two cups.

One cup for one person and one beast.

Sip the tea and finish drinking.

Lu Wufei stood up and glanced at Xiaobai on the table. Xiaobai was squinting his eyes slightly, enjoying the spirit tea slowly.

See Xiaobai doesn't want to go out.

Lu Wufei didn't stop there, walked to the door, opened it and walked out.

"Morning Senior Brother Liu."

"Morning, Senior Brother Zhen."

Say hello to the brothers you meet along the way.

When Lu Wufei walked outside the small courtyard.

I could already hear the lights and voices coming from the kitchen.

"Morning, two brothers"

Lu Wufei walked into the kitchen, said hello, picked up the pole bucket beside him, and prepared to fetch water.

"Morning Master"

At this time.

The busy Qingfeng replied, but stopped his movements and looked at Lu Wufei and asked suddenly: "Junior brother, are you in the late stage?"

Mingyue, who was busy, heard Qingfeng's words, and immediately stopped her movements and looked at her junior brother. She saw that the aura on the junior brother's body seemed to be the same as usual, but if she felt it carefully, she could clearly feel that the aura on the junior brother's body was heavier than before. too much.

This is clearly a great improvement in cultivation.

The junior brother was in the middle stage before, comparable to senior brother Qingfeng.

Now, going one step further, it is obviously the later stage.

In the realm of immortality, every step of cultivation, the strength will undergo earth-shaking changes.

There is a big gap between the early stage and the middle stage of human immortality, but it is still possible to fight, but compared with the late stage, it is not too much to say that the two levels are not too much.

Think back then.

Yuan Zhang, the great demon king of Dahuangshan, forcibly suppressed the five demon kings in Fengyunling by relying on his early entry into the late stage. At that time, Fengyunling had two or three demon kings in the middle stage of human immortality.

One can imagine the prestige of the later period.

At the same time, reaching the realm of immortality is not something that can be achieved through simple hard work.

He needs enough comprehension and enlightenment, thinking about his own practice, thinking about his own path, thinking about the world, in short, it is related to all kinds, and it is all-round.

He remembered very clearly that Junior Brother Lu had been promoted to Human Immortal for less than 40 years.

In just 40 years, it has successfully advanced from the early stage to the late stage.

This talent is overflowing.

It is really.
"Brother's eyes are like torches."

Lu Wufei picked up the pole and put it on his shoulders, and said with a smile, "I was late yesterday if I was not careful."

"I'm going to fetch water first."

Speaking of promotion is as casual as talking about eating and drinking.

Qingfeng and Mingyue listened to it, looked at the younger brother who was going out, and Mingyue said: "I take back what I said before, the talent of the younger brother is more exaggerated than we imagined."

"Great talent"

Qingfeng nodded when he heard the sound, and sighed: "There is no need to compete, among the three of us, the younger brother must be the one who stepped into the fairyland the fastest."

"I think there are more than the three of us"

Mingyue also nodded when she heard the sound, and said: "Think about how long the junior brother has only entered the door, don't look at the junior brother who has only entered the late stage at this time, and the other senior brothers who have been in the late stage for a long time may not be able to compare with the junior brother."

Qingfeng was also deeply touched: "Yes."

Outside the courtyard.

Lu Wufei naturally didn't know what the two senior brothers thought of him.

He is carrying a pole to pick up Lingquan.

This pole was very heavy when he lifted it when he was a golden core, but after he became a human being, it was not light at all, and it was even heavier.

It's late now, and it's obviously heavier than before yesterday's promotion.

Obviously, this is also the reason why these homework have the effect of cultivation.

Soon.

Lu Wufei walked out of the ginseng orchard with two buckets of water and headed towards the small kitchen courtyard.

Back to the mountain for three years.

Lu Wufei advanced to the late stage of Immortal.

There is no change in the practice life in Wuzhuang Temple.

Do homework, listen to lectures, read books, meditate, practice, make tea
as always.

that's it.

Spring goes and autumn comes, winter is cold and hot, and the four seasons rotate.

Inside the Five Villages.

The flowers of the peach forest in the east have bloomed and withered ten times;
In the small courtyard to the west, the Spring Festival couplets were changed ten times;

In the black wood forest in the north, the growth rings of each black wood have also added ten rings of age.

Time is like running water quietly.

Ten years.

Suddenly gone.

One morning.

Lu Wufei woke up from meditation, opened his eyes, and glanced out the window.

Then he got up and walked out of the bedroom.

Come to the big table.

As now.

He started to make tea.

But this time.

He put a blood-red bodhi seed into the small teapot.

Blood Bodhi.

This is the last of the treasures of the tea he ordered from Hu Yue, the demon ancestor of the Great Barren Mountain.

Soon.

The tea boiled.

A strange tea fragrance that was completely different from before quickly permeated the entire room.

Xiao Bai woke up again in the scent of tea.

But this time.

It just opened its eyes, sniffed the tea fragrance in the air, immediately screamed happily, jumped off the window sill, and rushed towards the old man.

Leap onto the big table in one step.

It smells more and more intense tea fragrance.

Xiao Bai squatted aside, his face full of intoxication.

Soon.

Blood Bodhisattva has reached the right time to drink.

Lu Wufei picked up the teapot and poured two cups.

One person and one beast are divided into a complete pot of blood Bodhi.

Lu Wufei put away the tea set and stretched out his hand.

Xiaobai immediately jumped onto Dad's shoulder.

Lu Wufei opened and closed the door as usual.

Then go out.

This time, though, he didn't make his way to the kitchen.

Instead, he went straight to the attic where the teacher was.

It was severe winter.

There was light snow in the sky.

Lu Wufei stepped on the thin snow and walked evenly towards the depths of Wuzhuang Temple.

Soon.

Lu Wufei came to a single tall and huge Qionglou.

"Wow"

The door below Qionglou opened in response.

Lu Wufei touched Xiaobai in his arms, and then walked steadily towards the attic.

"Wow"

When I came to the door of the quiet room, the door of the quiet room opened silently again.

Lu Wufei stepped into the room, stepped forward, knelt down on the ground, and said respectfully: "Teacher"

"Cultivation is still hard work."

Behind the incense table, Zhen Yuanzi, who closed his eyes and studied enlightenment, opened his eyes at this moment, looked at the kneeling disciple in front of him, and said, "Seeing that your breath is perfect, and your thoughts are upright without stagnation, this is, the way forward is clear?"

Lu Wufei said in a respectful voice: "Teacher's insightful eyes, I feel that I have some understanding, and I have some clues about the way forward..."

Listen to his words.

Watch its breath.

Zhen Yuanzi knew that his little disciple had already realized most of his path to immortality, and there was only a smooth road ahead.

"Latecomers prevail"

Looking at the disciple in front of him, Zhen Yuanzi stroked his beard under his chin, feeling more and more satisfied.
