Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 454: Bodhi Patriarch Got Slapped in the Face
After Sun Wukong finished speaking, he was ready to kneel down, but as soon as he moved his body, he was stopped by Jia Zhongsheng. After stopping him, Jia Zhongsheng looked at his puzzled eyes and spoke very calmly.

"Brother Monkey, what you said is completely wrong. I don't know where you heard it from. I can tell you clearly that there is absolutely no such thing."

"Think about it, they are all old gods. If they want to accept you as their disciple, do they want you to kneel down and worship them? For immortals like them, what impact can a simple kneeling have? No matter how much you kneel down, they will not accept you as their disciple. So whether the old gods will accept us as their disciples has nothing to do with whether you kneel down and worship them."

"In my opinion, whether the old immortal will accept us as disciples depends mainly on our sincerity. We have come all the way here through mountains and rivers, so our sincerity is enough. So the reason why the old immortal didn't open the door may be because he didn't hear us knocking on the door."

Although Jia Zheng knew that it was Patriarch Bodhi who was testing Sun Wukong, he was not prepared to accept such a test with Sun Wukong. Kneeling at the gate of the mountain for no reason looked a bit funny. Besides, his own cultivation was not low, so how could he kneel down to Patriarch Bodhi?

Besides, Patriarch Bodhi himself likes to act pretentiously, so I will never give him this opportunity. Only if Patriarch Bodhi is displeased with me and insists on accepting me as his disciple, will he be full of malice towards me. Only in this way can I get the greatest benefit.

So Jia Dongsheng did this just to make Patriarch Bodhi hate him, be annoyed with him, and be disgusted with him.

He didn't dare to test the situation in the Moon and Three Star Cave, so he could only persuade Sun Wukong. After hearing what he said, Sun Wukong thought it made sense.

The other party is an old immortal who can live forever. What's the point of kneeling down to worship him? My sincerity is enough for him to see. Moreover, I have come here so devoutly to become his disciple. If he hears me knocking on the door, how could he ignore me? So I might really be overthinking.

After thinking about this, Sun Wukong nodded repeatedly and said.

"Brother Jia, you are right. I was wrong about this matter. How could the old immortal be interested in us kneeling and kowtowing? In my opinion, he still cares more about our sincerity."

"Since he didn't hear us knocking on the door, it's very likely that the old immortal is not at home, or he is in seclusion and can't hear the noise outside. Let's wait outside this door for a while. Judging from the appearance outside this door, there should be people coming in and out frequently. I believe it won't be long before we can meet the old immortal."

Jia Zheng nodded with great satisfaction, patted Sun Wukong on the shoulder and said.

"That's what I thought, too. We're not afraid of sleeping outdoors. I'll get our equipment out in a moment and take it to the door. Let's take a good rest and wait for the teacher to come out first."

Sun Wukong thought the same thing, so he quickly blew out Jia Dongsheng and took out their equipment.

Their equipment were the tents and various tools that Jia Dongsheng had made himself along the way.

He also specially prepared a storage bag for himself and put these things in it. After hearing Sun Wukong's promise to him, he couldn't wait to take out three tents. One tent was another tent he and Qin Keqing had, and it was Sun Wukong's last tent, which was used to make things.

"We just ran into that guy playing cards, so we didn't have time to eat. Now, while we're waiting for the old immortal, we can eat the barbecue we just made and then grill the remaining meat."

Sun Wukong and Qin Keqing nodded repeatedly and agreed. Then they left their two tents aside, set up another tent, and started eating barbecue in the tent.

The bottom of his third tent is ventilated, there is no blockage to open, just some skeletons. That is to say, there is a layer of open top, which can block the wind and rain, and block the sun from shining directly below. Eating barbecue is definitely the best enjoyment.

But they didn’t know that the sight of them eating and drinking outside the door made Patriarch Bodhi’s face turn black.

To talk about this matter, it is all because Patriarch Bodhi is too pretentious.

Originally, he knew that Sun Wukong came to learn skills, so he just let him in. But instead, he sent someone to bring Sun Wukong in, and then wanted to train Sun Wukong well. At the same time, before Sun Wukong came, he started to show off to his disciples.

"It's alright. I calculated that a junior fellow apprentice of yours will come to your home. However, your junior fellow apprentice has a bad temper and needs to be tempered. However, according to my calculations, although he has a bad temper, he has a heart for Taoism."

"When your junior brother arrives, he will knock on the door non-stop, reminding people that no one should open the door for him without my permission. Once he is sure that no one will open the door for him, he will kneel at the door for seven days and seven nights to seek the truth and cultivate immortality."

"Let's use these seven days and seven nights to hone this monkey, let him know how difficult it is to practice, and let him cherish it. This is the opportunity I'm giving him."

After Patriarch Bodhi finished speaking, his group of disciples immediately complimented him on his great strength and boundless magical powers, and on his kind heart and his deep love for his disciples.

While they were complimenting him, Patriarch Bodhi smiled and Sun Wukong began to knock on the door.

Everything is just as Bodhi expected. When Sun Wukong stopped knocking on the door, he said to his disciples happily.

"You see, after knocking on the door to no avail, this monkey will kneel in front of the door and wait for the master to accept him. Let him kneel for seven days and seven nights."

As he spoke, he performed a water mirror technique, projecting everything in front of the door in front of him, so that the disciples below could also see what was happening outside the door.

And after hearing what the monkey said, the next moment the monkey knelt down, and everything went as he expected. Then he accepted the monkey as his disciple and drove away the couple who came with the monkey.

As a result, at the moment when the monkey was about to kneel down, the man from the couple who came with the monkey said something that completely broke his plan.

When the monkey also promised the boy not to kneel anymore, Patriarch Bodhi's face turned dark. He wanted to maintain his dignity in front of his disciple, but he started cursing in his heart.

This monkey really jumped out from a crack in the rock, but his brain is so stupid that he believes whatever others say. If you just kneel down again, I will accept you as my disciple, right?
And when they took out the tent and ate and drank outside, Patriarch Bodhi could no longer hold back, his face was as dark as water, and his disciples were so scared that they trembled with fear.
