I'm not a tailed beast

Chapter 24 Knowledge, the Ladder of Progress
"Books are the ladder of animal progress."

"But to read books, you first need to learn to recognize words."

"What I want to teach you is the most beautiful writing in the world."

"It has a beauty that cannot be described in words."

"And the name of this kind of writing is called Chinese characters."

Gigi stood on the desk, as if possessed by a sage.

The thin arms waved rhythmically.

The animals listening below, except for Mu Ziyu, were all completely illiterate.

Don't talk about words, some don't even have names.

But Gigi still clung to their attention.

The action, while a bit comical, is effective.

Even the rabbit boss who had been paddling to sleep before felt that the chair was too short, so he simply listened to the lecture on the table.

This is a good thing.

It shows that everyone is eager to make progress from the bottom of their hearts.

Mu Ziyu was quite curious about where Jiji learned Chinese.

Judging by its enthusiasm for "Knowledge Changes Destiny", the little monkey must have its own secrets.

just.

Who doesn't have a secret yet?
There is no need to break the casserole and ask the bottom line.

one afternoon.

None of the animals left early.

The ocean of knowledge has infinite attraction.

The more ignorant people are, the more eagerly they absorb nutrients.

Just like the seedlings in the rain after a long drought.

Books, regardless of high or low, open the door to a new world for them.

And the world inside the door is as exciting as the story of Journey to the West.

Every animal is a protagonist.

The thoughts and questions left by those extremely intelligent souls collide with the souls of animals.

Get your own answer in a direction that you have never thought about.

No race, no distinction between high and low.

This is called enlightenment.

Mu Ziyu's thoughts drifted away.

Recalling the teacher who enlightened me.

The picture is blurry, but the face is smiling gently.

When Gigi announced that get out of class was over, he even forgot what Gigi was talking about in the second half.

I was distracted.

In a flash, it was almost dark.

Several monkeys clutched their crotches and ran to the toilet.

The moles were more straightforward and went straight back into the hole.

hold back.

Jiji first drank some water to moisten her throat, and then immediately ran to Mu Ziyu.

"Master Kyuubi, can I ask you a favor?"

"what happened?"

Mu Ziyu questioned.

"I want everyone to have their own names."

Jiji's eyes sparkled, and her tone suddenly became a little sad.

"When I was a cub, my mother said that the name is the privilege of the monkey king, and only the monkey king is special.

But I don't think so.

I think every life is special, so when I became the king of the monkey group, I let each monkey name itself according to its own characteristics.

That's how Mao Mao and Shou Shou came from.

But there are still many monkeys who don't want to name themselves.

They feel that it is the king's privilege and cannot be changed at will, and I cannot force them to do things they don't like.

And the moles all look alike, and without a name, it's hard to tell them apart.

I don't know what to do, so I have to ask for your help"

The monkey king is also king.

The king's privilege is usually accompanied by loneliness and loneliness.

The promotion of old habits, like reforms, will be opposed by those who have adapted to them.

It seems that Gigi has a deep understanding.

Mu Ziyu patted Jiji's head.

The small version of him just happened to be able to reach it without much effort.

"You did a good job, let me figure out a way."

The number of populations determines that it is impossible for Mu Ziyu to name everyone in the normal way.

In that way, it is easy to be self-defeating.

It's too much trouble to remember.

At this time.

At the entrance of the mole's hole, Shu Da and Shu Er crawled out after finishing everything.

After eating the food, they decided to practice for a while.

Looking at the back of their efforts to leave.

Mu Ziyu had a solution.

I plan to announce it at the night's story meeting.

A blink of an eye.

Late at night.

The fire was full again.

The addition of a family of teddy bears made the fire look a bit crowded.

The teddy bear is comforting the naughty little bear as he boldly sticks his paws into the fire.

Almost turned into a roasted bear's paw.

The rabbit boss originally came early to occupy a good position, but was defeated by Yingjiang's sharp eyes.

I had to obediently give up my seat.

But it's also restless.

Activated the rabbit's sensitive brain circuit, and boldly sat next to Mu Ziyu.

That is, on the tail of Nine Tails.

This is a privilege that no one can enjoy except the young eagle.

Some envious and jealous eyes cast towards it.

From the looks of it, Master Kyuubi doesn't seem to care.

A lot of careful thinking and calculation.

Mu Ziyu prepared to start telling stories as usual.

But before the story started, he suddenly asked a question.

"Which one of you still remembers the first time Patriarch Bodhi met Wukong, what did he teach him? You can only answer by raising your claws, and you will be rewarded for correct answers."

The teddy bear family must be in a daze.

They just listened to Gigi tell the outline before the story started.

I felt interested, so I joined the auditorium.

Among the monkey group, nearly half of the monkeys raised their paws.

As for the mole, except for Shu Da and Shu Er, only one small paw was tremblingly raised.

That's Shuda's girlfriend.

Mu Ziyu remembered that it was the daughter of the mole patriarch.

When Shuda and the monkey group were introducing, he happened to hear it.

Mu Ziyu looked around, resting his gaze on different paws in turn.

Finally locked the female mole.

"Then choose... Shu San! It's inconvenient not to have a name. From today on, Shu Da, your girlfriend will be called Shu San."

In addition to being given a name, it was also called.

Shu San was so excited that he almost fainted.

Encouraged by Shu Da, it stood up nervously and spoke the answer intermittently.

"Bodhi Patriarch... gave Wukong... a name."

"Correct answer! Congratulations Shu San."

Mu Ziyu clapped his front paws and explained.

"This is called drum claw, which means celebration and congratulations."

The animals below followed suit.

There was chaotic applause.

After the applause, Mu Ziyu continued to speak.

"The reward is that starting from today, I will specially guide Shu San to practice until it can become an excellent ninja like Shu Da and Shu II."

This time, it was like pouring a bowl of water into the oil pan.

Blast the pot all at once.

The rest of the moles discussed with the monkey, nothing but envy.

This is the highest honor in the canyon.

It is said that only Shu Da and Shu Er, who were the first to contact Master Nine Tails, have this treatment.

Those who did not get the question also began to reflect.

Inferences about what I heard in class during the day are used at this time.

Some moles and monkeys began to ponder.

Is the reason why I was not selected because Lord Kyuubi doesn't know me at all?
No, Kyuubi-sama has seen me during the day.

Then why don't you ask me to answer?
The reason is obvious.

Because I don't have a name.

How does Master Kyuubi call himself?
I didn't see the name given to the mole in order to call it.

The female mole sitting next to Shu Er suddenly stood up boldly.

"Then from now on...I...my name is Shusi!"

Another mole stood up.

"Then my name is Shu Wu!"

The monkeys are not to be outdone.

The monkey sitting next to Jiji stood up and shouted loudly.

"Then I'll be called Monkey!"

Clap!
Before Jiji could make a move, Maomao and Shou Shou taught this monkey who knew nothing about heights and depths first.

"You're the Monkey King too? King Jiji is the Monkey King! If you want to call it, you have to be ranked...Monkey Four!"

Maomao put Jiji, himself and his hands in front, and directly decided on the name of the first monkey to stand up.

Although he was taught a lesson, Monkey Four who got the name was still very happy.

Sitting down happily, he repeated his name over and over again.

"My name is Monkey Four!"
