The Monkey King was happy from the bottom of his heart that he had an extra brother.

Although the two have known each other for less than half a year, they have really benefited a lot.

Even though the Monkey King was just born, his intelligence has greatly expanded after receiving the "Tao Te Ching", and he is much smarter than normal humans in some aspects.

Under such circumstances, how could he not understand how much this newly sworn brother cared for him.

Not to mention the unique book "Tao Te Ching", just the knowledge imparted is of extremely high value to me.

Even those interesting little stories are not just fun, there are many truths in them that have benefited the Monkey King a lot.

With such an identity, the impatient Beautiful Monkey immediately brought up the past and said:

"Brother, can you name the matter..."

Looking at the brother in front of him who will be very worried about in the future, Liu Ruian was very satisfied, nodded and said:

"Forget it, since you recognize me as your brother, you can give him this name."

"Brother, please tell me." The Monkey King, who was scratching his head, said quickly.

"You were born from a spiritual stone bred by heaven and earth, and turned into the body of a hozen when exposed to the wind." After pretending to think for a while, Liu Ruian said:

"I want to teach you that your surname is 'Hong'. The word "Hong" is next to a beast, which means Gu Yue."

"But ancient means old, and moon means yin; old yin cannot be transformed and cultivated."

"It would be better to teach you the surname '狲'. The character "狲" is next to the word "animal", so it is a sub-lineage."

"The son is a boy, and the tie is a baby. It is in line with the basic theory of babies. I will give you the surname 'Sun'."

When the Monkey King heard this, he was naturally filled with joy and bowed repeatedly:

"Okay! Okay! Okay! I just know my surname today. Brother Wanwang is merciful. Since I have a surname, I'll beg for a name so it's easy to call me."

When it came to the name, Liu Ruian was really hesitant.

After all, Sun Wukong's name is so famous that even an anime from a certain island country has a character with the same name.

But speaking of Sun Wukong.The first thing most people think of is the Monkey King who dares to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace with a single stick.

But when Wukong said it, even if it didn't come entirely from Buddhism, it still had a great relationship with Buddhism.

In particular, the origin of Patriarch Bodhi has always been a mystery. Many people think that this person is one of the ten disciples of Tathagata.

This speculation is not unfounded.Under the Tathagata Buddha, Subhuti is an important disciple.

Subhuti does not just have the word Bodhi.The meaning of this name is to understand emptiness, so it is called "the first to understand emptiness".

Emptiness is very important in Buddhist scriptures, but "emptiness" is too mysterious and difficult to understand. It is not correct to say that it is "existence", nor is it correct to say that it is "nothing".

Emptiness is not emptiness, it is not emptiness, it is not reality, but it is inseparable from "being".

Among the many disciples of Buddha, he can truly understand the principle of emptiness.The person who can truly realize the wonderful meaning of emptiness is Venerable Subhuti who is the first to understand emptiness.

Since the master is the first to understand emptiness, then his disciple will naturally have a deep understanding of "emptiness", so it is natural for the disciple to call him "Wukong".

The so-called Wukong is also the solution to emptiness, which is an understanding and realization of emptiness.

However, Liu Ruian did not agree with this speculation.

After all, Subhuti is only one of the ten disciples of Tathagata Buddha, and what he has achieved is the Arahantship.

But Patriarch Bodhi only took more than ten years to cultivate Sun Wukong into a talented person.One person can directly compete with the entire heaven.

Such ability and strength cannot be compared with that of Subhuti, who has attained the Arahant status.

What's more, have you ever seen someone trying to scheme against others by showing off his name so that others can notice?

Except for Subhuti.Some people also say that this Bodhi Patriarch was transformed from Tongtian, one of the saints of the three religions.

After becoming a god, the saint suffered a great loss, and the Jiejiao lineage was almost completely destroyed.

Secretly plotting against the other two saints and Heavenly Court is both emotionally and rationally justified.

But the problem is that Sun Wukong finally became the victorious Buddha.Unless there are follow-up arrangements and plans, this plan is obviously a failure and even the capital is lost.

According to Liu Ruian's speculation, the true identity of the Bodhi Patriarch is likely to be one of the two Western leaders who are both saints.Zhunti Taoist transformation.

In terms of strength, Taoist Zhunti, who is also a saint,

It is definitely much stronger than Subhuti.

In terms of Kung Fu, before Buddhism existed, it can be seen from the title that even if Taoist Zhunti was not entirely from the Taoist lineage, he was certainly no stranger to Taoist Kung Fu.

What's more, in the Romance of the Gods, this Western sect took the opportunity to recruit many Taoist disciples who were not allowed to enter the list of gods.

He is naturally proficient in all Taoist and Buddhist techniques.

As for the purpose of teaching Sun Wukong, it is just the first step in the grand chess game behind the entire Journey to the West.

The riot in the Heavenly Palace attracted the Jade Emperor to ask for help from the Tathagata of the West, and finally suppressed the Monkey King under the Five Elements Mountain, and then he started his journey to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

The most important thing is that in "The Romance of the Gods", when Taoist Zhunti appeared on the stage, he introduced himself.

He said to Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun: It turns out that Taoist brother does not recognize me. If I tell you everything, you will know the truth:

When the Great Awakening of the Golden Immortals came to an end, Bodhi, the ancestor of the Western Wonderful Dharma.

The three or three acts of immortality and immortality, full of qi, full of spirit, and myriad benevolence.

Empty and stillness naturally changes, just as nature does it.

He lives the same life as heaven and has a majestic body. He has a clear mind through all the calamities and is a great Dharma master.

In "Journey to the West", when Patriarch Bodhi made his first appearance, the book described it as follows:

I saw the Bodhi Patriarch sitting on the stage, with thirty little immortals on both sides standing under the stage.Sure enough it is:

Dajue Jinxian has no defiled appearance, and Bodhi, the ancestor of the Western Miaoxiang.

The three or three acts of immortality and immortality, full of qi, full of spirit, and myriad benevolence.

Empty and stillness naturally changes, just as nature does it.

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

Well, if this is just for reading, it can be said that Wu Chengen, the author of "Journey to the West", plagiarized the setting of "The Romance of the Gods".

But the problem is that what Liu Ruian saw was not a novel, but a real world.

In this case, the connection between the two poems has to be carefully considered.

As for the question mentioned before, how the schemer can still show clues and make people suspicious, it is actually easy to explain.

Zhunti's use of the title Bodhi is good, but it only makes people think of Subhuti.

To a certain extent, this is called the formation of suspicion. After thinking about it for a while, people will feel that it is definitely not the fault of Western teachers, and the other party is not that stupid.

But in fact, it is this psychology that is exploited. The most unlikely people are often the most likely people.

Also, judging from the content shown in "Journey to the West", the biggest beneficiary is Western Buddhism, so the suspicion is naturally the greatest.

Well, these things are just the results of Liu Ruian's own calculations. Whether they are specific is another matter.

Let’s get back to the subject, back to the question of naming the Monkey King.

After Liu Ruian thought quickly, he finally decided to leave the choice to the other party, so he said:

"Youdao is the first time Hongmeng has established the original namelessness, and it takes Wukong to break the stubbornness."

"I originally wanted to name you Wukong, but it was the Tao Te Ching that got you to where you are today."

"So, Sun Wukong or Sun Wudao, you choose one of the two."

"Wukong? Enlightenment?"

I was still immersed in the joy of just getting a surname. I liked both of the two names Monkey King and was satisfied with either one I chose. For a while, I didn't know which one to choose.

"Don't ask me about this matter. You can choose your own name in the end." Before the other party could speak, Liu Ruian said directly:

"After you choose a name, I will give you a more prestigious name. You can use it when you are powerful in the world in the future."

In fact, given the nature of the Monkey King, he would not be so entangled.

But two instinctive ideas obviously conflicted over the choice of name.

"Have you decided on this name, brother?" The Monkey King, who couldn't make up his mind at the moment, asked.

"I've thought about it, let's call him Monkey King, how about it?" Liu Ruian said calmly, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

"Monkey King?!"

The Monkey King subconsciously repeated the sentence, and his cute little eyes suddenly widened.

"Miao Miao Miao! From now on, I am the Monkey King!"

At this moment, the Monkey King seemed to break through the shackles of instinct and made a decision on his name.

He jumped out of the house with a somersault, then jumped onto a boulder, looked up to the sky and laughed:

"Haha... From now on, I am the Monkey King, the Monkey King, and Sun Wudao!" (To be continued.)
