I have a role in the heavens

But Patriarch Bodhi actually believed it, and instead of saying anything about driving the Monkey King out, he asked.

"Since you've worked so hard to get here, that's it. What's your last name?"

The Monkey King was stunned when he heard this, and he was surprised in his heart. He was born and raised, so there is no surname. He said bluntly.

"Disciples never have last names!"

Patriarch Bodhi continued to ask.

"What are your parents' last names?"

The Monkey King frowned. He didn't believe that Patriarch Bodhi didn't know his origins. What did he mean by asking such a question, but he had to answer.

"Disciples don't have parents either!"

Patriarch Bodhi continued.

"You have no parents, could it be that you grew on a tree?"

These words sounded a bit harsh, and the Monkey King felt a little unhappy, but after all, he had been wallowing in the world of mortals for more than ten years, and he had a city of his own in his heart. There was no strange expression on his face as he continued to answer.

"Although this disciple did not grow from a tree, I still remember that there is an immortal stone on Huaguo Mountain, and this disciple jumped out from the crack in this stone!"

When Master Bodhi heard this, he was secretly delighted. Sure enough, he was born from the sky-repairing stone. He was born with great merits. As long as he cultivates it well, he will definitely add another fighting saint Buddha to Buddhism, and then he spoke.

"In that case, you were born with it. Get up and walk around and let me take a look."

The Monkey King got up on the ground and took two steps back and forth, because monkeys walk on all fours. Although the Monkey King learned to walk on two legs when he was hanging out in the human world, after all, the body structure is different, so when he walks, Different from ordinary people, he is a little wobbly and limping, which looks very ridiculous.

Patriarch Bodhi stretched out his hand to signal to the Monkey King that it was enough. The Monkey King then stopped and looked at Patriarch Bodhi.

"Although your body is humble, you look like a pine cone-eating hozen. I will give you a surname on your body, and I will teach you to have a surname of 'Hong'. The word "Hong" has been removed from the animal, which is the ancient moon. The ancient, the old Ye; the moon is yin. The old yin cannot be transformed into nurturing, so it would be better to teach you the surname '狲'. The word 粲 has been removed from the animal side, but it is the descendant of the child. The descendant of the son means a male; the descendant of the descendant means an infant. It is suitable for a baby. The basic theory. I’ll teach you how to give your last name ‘Sun’.”

Although the Monkey King knew that Patriarch Bodhi was most likely the one plotting against him, he was still very happy that he had a surname, kowtowed in thanks, and then continued.

"Now that I have a surname, I ask the teacher to be kind and give me a name. I would be very grateful!"

Patriarch Bodhi glanced at the ecstatic Monkey King, did not refuse, and said smoothly.

"There are twelve characters in our sect, and we will assign names to you as the tenth generation disciple. These twelve characters are Guang, Da, Zhi, Hui, Zhen, Ru, Xing, Hai, Ying, Wu, There are twelve characters for Yuan and Enlightenment. The word "Enlightenment" is assigned to you. I will give you a Dharma name: Sun Wukong. Do you like it?"

When the Monkey King heard this name, he just felt that it was quite in line with his own feelings. He had been living in the world for many years, and he had increased his wisdom and Taoism. He had learned the true meaning of Taoism and expressed his gratitude to Patriarch Bodhi.

"In the early days of Hongmeng, I had no surname, and I had to break the stubborn stone with Wukong. This name is quite suitable for my disciple's temperament. Thank you, teacher, for giving me this name!"

Master Bodhi was stunned when he heard what Sun Wukong said. He seemed to have not expected that Sun Wukong actually had such a Taoist nature, and was quite surprised.

When Sun Wukong saw Patriarch Bodhi's reaction, he didn't realize that he was showing some wisdom, so he quickly made amends.

"When I was living in the human world, my disciple also read some Taoist scriptures and realized some truths. That's why I had this emotion, which actually made the teacher laugh!"

Patriarch Bodhi was relieved after hearing this. After all, Sun Wukong was a spiritually enlightened stone monkey. He had great merits and virtues. He could understand changes, know the time and place of the sky, move stars and change battles. It was not surprising that he knew some of the true meaning of Taoism. He threw away the surprise that had just occurred in his heart. the back of the head.

Patriarch Bodhi stopped preaching today. Instead, he ordered his disciples to lead Wukong out of the second door and teach him how to deal with the situation and how to move forward and retreat. Everyone came out as ordered. When Wukong arrived outside the door, he paid homage to his senior brothers and arranged a place to sleep in the corridor. The next day, I learned polite language, lectured on scriptures, and burned incense with all my brothers. This was done every day. In his free time, he sweeps the ground and hoe the garden, grows flowers and trees, looks for firewood to light the fire, and carries water and pulp. Everything used is prepared.

It had been six or seven years since I was in the cave. One day, the Patriarch sat on the altar and called all the immortals together to give a lecture on the great truth.

Flowers are falling from the sky and golden lotuses are flowing from the ground. The three-vehicle teaching is wonderfully performed, and the subtle and complete Dharma is complete. The tail of the duck is slowly shaken, spraying pearls and jade, and the sound of thunder shakes the sky for nine days. Talk about Taoism for a while, talk about Zen for a while, this is how the three schools of thought cooperate. The word "enlightenment" refers to sincerity and principles, and guides the mysterious nature of inanimate nature.

Sun Wukong listened and listened. He was so happy that he scratched his head and smiled. I can't help but dance with my hands and dance with my feet. Patriarch Bodhi saw Sun Wukong's reaction clearly and scolded Sun Wukong.

"I'm preaching again, how can you dance wildly and disrupt the ashram?"

Sun Wukong has become more and more calm in recent years. He is not afraid of Patriarch Bodhi's reprimands and bows down to worship him.

"Disciple listened sincerely and was overjoyed when he heard Master's wonderful voice, so he did not realize that he was so excited. I hope Master will forgive me!"

Patriarch Bodhi heard the words and nodded secretly. He was indeed a spiritual child of heaven and earth. He was intelligent and far superior to these disciples. His qualifications were just ordinary, and the fruit of immortality was rare. In order to recruit Sun Wukong, he randomly accepted some named disciples. Even the origin of Patriarch Bodhi is not clear, it is just a cover-up.

"Since you know the wonderful sound, let me ask you, how long have you been in the cave?"

Since Sun Wukong practiced the Sutra of Peace and Freedom, his wisdom has become clear. The seven years he spent in Sanxing Cave were not wasted. He read all the Taoist books in the cave, and the aura of tranquility in his body became stronger and stronger. If he hadn't realized it clearly In the realm of harmony with light and dust, Patriarch Bodhi may have noticed the abnormality long ago.

"It has been seven years since I came to the cave. The peaches outside the cave have been ripe seven times. I am always full of these peaches!"

Patriarch Bodhi nodded slightly when he heard the words, and pondered for a moment, feeling that the time was almost here, and he needed to teach Sun Wukong some real skills, otherwise how would he be able to protect the Buddhist scripture collectors from going to the West to collect scriptures in the future, and spread the Buddhist teachings eastward to Dongsheng Shenzhou, which would lead to the great prosperity of Buddhism.

Patriarch Bodhi waved the whisk in his hand and put it on his arm. He stared at Sun Wukong with a divine light in his eyes and asked curiously.

"Since you have been my disciple for seven years, I can now teach you some Taoism. What Taoism do you want to learn?"

When Sun Wukong heard this, he was overjoyed. Although he had read all the Taoist canons in the cave in the past seven years, he could not learn the true teachings or practice them. The fear of death constantly eroded his heart, making him dare not take a break day and night. He was always on tenterhooks for fear of My Yang life has expired and I went to the underworld.

"But based on the teachings of the ancestors and just a little bit of Taoism, the disciples will learn it!"
