What is it like to start as Tiandao?

At this time, Guanyin is in the sky.

When he heard that the monkey wanted to become a disciple, Guanyin was about to intervene to stop him.

Fortunately, things did not turn out badly, and the monkey did not become a disciple, which made Guanyin relieved.

However, Guanyin was very curious as to why the monkey did not follow the script they had set, and which link caused the problem.

Below, at this moment, the monkey and the old man are still talking.

After agreeing to teach the monkey, the old man said: "You shouldn't have a name, right? Do you want the immortal to give you a name so that you can use it in the future?"

It’s not good to keep calling them monkeys, monkeys, hozens, etc.

Monkey is now considered half of his student, so it would be better to choose an elegant name to avoid falling into the lower class and losing face.

Just when the old man was about to name the monkey, he heard the monkey say: "Sir, I have a name."

Since you want to learn from the old man, you can't always call him "old man" or "old man". Instead of calling him "teacher", you should always call him "sir".

"Do you have a name?"

When the monkey said he had a name, the old man was surprised.

Aren’t monkeys bred in nature? Why does it still have a name?

However, the monkey said that he has a name, and he can listen to it first. If it doesn't sound right, he can help the monkey change it.

The old man asked: "What's your name?"

"My name is Sun Wukong." said the monkey.

According to the memory fragments Ye Xingchen gave him, the name Sun Wukong was given to him by Patriarch Bodhi when the monkey was apprenticed to him.

Patriarch Bodhi saw that the monkey was a hozen, so he gave him the surname Sun.

It happened that Monkey's generation of disciples was also the generation of Wu, so he was named Wukong.

Although the monkey has not seen Patriarch Bodhi now, he is still dissatisfied with Buddhism.

However, the monkey liked the name Sun Wukong very much, so he didn't want to change it and still called him Sun Wukong.

Just when the monkey said the three words Sun Wukong, whether it was Guanyin who was watching in the sky, Tathagata of the West, or the Jade Emperor of Heaven, all of them showed incredible expressions on their faces.

Tathagata secretly said to himself: "How could this be? How could the monkey know his name in advance? What is the problem?"

Tathagata thought and thought, but could not figure out what was wrong with the monkey.

Just when Tathagata was worried about the monkey, the Jade Emperor in heaven had a smile on his face.

"This monkey is interesting."

The Jade Emperor smiled very happily. The monkey probably knew something in advance. If things continued like this, it would be enough for Tathagata to drink a pot.

The Jade Emperor had no other meaning. He was very happy to see Tathagata deflated.

Fangcun Mountain is where Bodhi Patriarch lives.

When the monkey said the three words Sun Wukong, Patriarch Bodhi also noticed it.

"That's weird! That's weird!"

However, Patriarch Bodhi acted very calmly and just said two sentences in a row that were weird, but there was no follow-up.

In fact, his naming of the monkey Sun Wukong has another meaning.

That is, Wukong is needed to break the stubbornness.

If the monkey wants to change his destiny, it depends not on others, but on the monkey himself.

However, in the original work, the monkey did not understand the profound meaning of Patriarch Bodhi, causing the monkey to go further and further.

"World Honored One, what should I do next?"

Guanyin sent a message to Tathagata and asked him what to do next. Who told the monkeys to behave too abnormally now, so they had to be careful.

After a while, Tathagata replied to Guanyin.

"It's okay, Venerable Guanyin, you continue to monitor the monkey head."

Tathagata continued to ask Guanyin to pay attention to the monkey.

From the Tathagata's point of view, it doesn't matter even if the monkey knows something in advance. Heaven promotes Buddha. Even if the monkey, as the son of luck in Dongsheng Shenzhou, wants to resist, it will be difficult to reach heaven.

Therefore, Buddhism still follows the plan and does as it should be done, and the plan cannot be disrupted just because of monkeys.

"Yes, World Honored One!"

Guanyin agreed.

under.

After hearing the name Sun Wukong, the old man's heart trembled slightly.

"Sun Wukong, what a great name!"

The old man originally thought that the monkey could not come up with a good name, but he did not expect that the result was far beyond his expectation. The name Sun Wukong was the most suitable name for the monkey.

After that, the old man asked no more questions and left with the monkey.

From then on, there was an elegant and easy-going monkey in Qinghe County.

Because of his status as an old man, the locals gradually accepted the existence of monkeys.

I am not so disgusted or afraid of monsters.

…

Time flies, and twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past twenty years, Monkey has learned a lot of knowledge. Compared with the original, one can feel a cultural literacy in Monkey.

Also today, the old man who led him to study is passing away.

Before leaving, the old man took the monkey's hand and said, "Wukong, you need to think twice before doing anything in the future."

After saying these words, the old man passed away.

After the old man was buried, the monkey kowtowed to him three times, then left Qinghe County and returned to Huaguo Mountain.

"The king is back, the king is back."

The monkeys in Huaguo Mountain were all very excited when the monkeys came back.

Twenty years, exactly twenty years, their king is back again.

However, before the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain were overjoyed, the monkeys spoke and broke the happy atmosphere in their hearts.

The monkey said to the monkeys: "I will not stay long this time. Soon, I will go to various places to find masters to learn from and seek immortality."

After the monkey returned to Huaguo Mountain, Guanyin's surveillance of him ended, and he returned to Lingshan Mountain in the West.

It was also at this moment that Ye Xingchen appeared to discuss with the monkey.

Now that the monkey has completed his studies, it is time to learn from a master.

It can't be delayed for another three hundred years.

If the West is unwilling, the monkey will force them to submit.

If they don't let the monkey learn from Bodhi Patriarch earlier, the monkey will go to various immortal caves to study.

Anyway, the monkey has now reached the stage of refining qi and transforming into spirit, and it is quite easy for him to join a small sect. At that time, it depends on whether Tathagata can sit still.

"My king, you are going out again!"

Sure enough, when the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain heard that the monkey was leaving them again, they suddenly became unhappy.

Without the monkey to play with them, their life fun was a little less.

"Don't worry, kids! When I, Sun, seek immortality, I will come back to teach you the way to longevity. We will achieve longevity together, and then we can play and drink every day."

The monkey comforted the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain.

The matter of seeking immortality can't be delayed any longer. If the monkey can't get up, the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain will not end well.

In order for everyone to be safe in the future, there are some things that the monkey must give up.

When they heard that the monkey went to seek immortality and would teach everyone in the future, and then everyone would enjoy longevity together, the monkeys suddenly became excited again.

It can only be said that these monkeys are still too easy to fool. No wonder in the original book, the monkeys were fooled by Buddhism and heaven.
