Journey to the West: Stone Heart and Stone Edge

Seeing the mountain gate from a distance, in the morning light and mist, there are ten large characters engraved on the stone tablet standing to welcome people.

"Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai, the three-star cave with a slanting moon." Since climbing the mountain, the monkey who has been lively and active couldn't help but calm down, and followed Ruyi obediently. At this time, he reached the top of the mountain, looked at the words on the stone tablet, and read it in a low voice come out.

Ruyi turned her head, "When did you learn the characters?"

Houzi looked at Ruyi with a little complacency, "I have been outside for more than ten years, and I know everything those people say and write on their hands."

Looking at his expression, Ruyi did not hesitate to praise him, "So, you are very smart."

The monkey grinned happily, "That is."

At this moment, the door of the cave opened slowly, and a child who looked like a Taoist came out.It is said that he looks like a child because he looks only thirteen or fourteen years old, with buns on both sides, but a light shirt with wide sleeves, and an otherworldly attire.

Ruyi touched the monkey lightly, "Go, he will take you to meet the patriarch."

The monkey didn't move, but looked at her suspiciously, "Senior sister, won't you take me there?"

"Huh?" As soon as the monkey spoke, the boy who came out saw him, "Where did the wild monkey come from to harass Patriarch Qingxiu here?"

The monkey saw that he was blunt, so he didn't feel annoyed. He smiled and jumped forward and said, "I'm not a wild monkey, I'm a born stone monkey. I'm here to see Master."

"It turns out that the master said that there is someone who is looking for a teacher to learn from outside, and it is you." The boy looked the monkey up and down, and said with a smile, "Okay, you come with me." After saying that, he turned and entered the mountain gate.

The monkey made a face at the boy's back, then turned to Ruyi and said, "Senior sister, is he older than you? Why didn't he even say hello when he saw you?"

Ruyi wanted to say that his morality was not enough, but then remembered that it would be troublesome to explain, so she shook her head with a smile, "Let's go see Master first."

Monkey was eager to learn from his teacher, so he didn't ask any more questions when he heard what Ruyi said, and followed her into the inner hall.

In the ancient caves of Xianshan, although there are no gold and silver decorations carved with knives and axes, they are surrounded by layers of green pines and cypresses, and the winding paths and stone corridors are surrounded by clear streams.

The boy led the way, and when he reached the Yaotai, Patriarch Bodhi, who was sitting upright, bowed and saluted, "Master, the stone monkey has been brought here." After speaking, he automatically retreated to the side.

Ruyi also stepped forward and bowed, Patriarch Bodhi closed his eyes slightly, and Ruyi got up and stood aside.

The monkey waited for Ruyi to stand beside him, and then went forward respectfully, knelt down and kowtowed, "Disciple pays homage to Master."

Patriarch Bodhi asked him about his background and his surname.After the monkey said that he was transformed by the cracking of mountains and rocks and had no name or surname, he took characters from his body shape, took Sun as his surname, and counted according to the twelve characters under his door, "great wisdom, true nature, sea Yingwu Yuanjue", and ranked them first. Ten of them were given the name Wukong, and he was officially accepted as a disciple.

The monkey with the name was overjoyed. When Patriarch Bodhi was around, he was just scratching his head and scratching his head for joy. After the Patriarch ordered the crowd to disperse, the monkey jumped to Ruyi's side, pulled her dress and said, "Senior sister, now I also have a name, Sun Wukong."

"Hey, what are you yelling monkey!" The boy standing beside Ruyi was unhappy, and stared at him with round almond eyes, "Who is your senior sister? I am your senior brother." He doesn't like others to see him as a woman.

After saying this, the boy flicked his sleeves and left. Although he was dissatisfied with Sun Wukong's nonsense, he could not make any noise in the hall, for fear of disturbing the patriarch.

Sun Wukong was a little confused, and said to Ruyi, "I didn't call him, why is he angry?"

Ruyi smiled slightly, slightly bitterly, "It's none of his business."

Sun Wukong traveled across the ocean and went through all kinds of hardships. He had just entered the immortal gate for more than ten years. It is suitable for the word 'enlightenment', so what is the name of the senior sister?"

"My name is Feng Ruyi."

Sun Wukong tilted his head and calculated, "The senior sister is four generations older than me." After saying that, he became happy again, "No wonder the senior sister can soar through the clouds and ride the fog, she must be very skilled in Taoism."

After loosening Ruyi's sleeves, Monkey King hugged Ruyi's waist again, and said with a shy smile, "Good senior sister, teach me."

The anticipation in Sun Wukong's eyes made Ruyi's face turn red, and he touched his head amusedly, "The disciples in the sect are all taught by the master, I can't break the rules."

The goal was not achieved, and Monkey King was not disappointed, he followed Ruyi with a smile on his face, walked out of the palace gate, and arranged a place to sleep in the back mountain.

Those foreign affairs disciples lived in the front hall. Like the disciples in the inner hall, they studied scriptures and recited scriptures in the morning, and practiced Taoism in the afternoon, and did some cleaning by the way.Their talents are not high, they cannot learn advanced Taoism, but they can only learn some superficial methods. After about 30 to [-] years of learning, they will go down the mountain and make contributions in the world, or live in seclusion and live in peace for a lifetime.

And the inner hall disciples who live in the back mountain are either those with outstanding talents who are expected to practice Taoism and become immortals, or those who come from extraordinary backgrounds and are born with good luck.Since he is talented, Patriarch Bodhi teaches according to the person, but he is not demanding on how to achieve geometry.

Although Sun Wukong was the latest to start, he was an inner disciple after all, so he walked all the way to the back mountain, and when he met those foreign disciples, they all saluted him and called him "senior brother", but he didn't care about the wishful thinking of walking with him.

If you say that Sun Wukong didn't understand the rules of the school when he first became a teacher, and seeing those people ignore Ruyi, he thought it was because Ruyi's seniority was the youngest and those people were arrogant.But now that he was clear, he finally felt something was wrong.

"Senior Sister, why are they ignoring you?" Sun Wukong grabbed Ruyi's sleeve, and there was a look of injustice in his bright eyes. "Could it be that they bullied you, then I'll reason with them!"

Monkey King's protective expression warmed Ruyi's heart, thinking that when he just came to Xianmen, the boy said something against him, and Monkey King was so good-tempered that he didn't care about it, but now he was willing to stand up for such a trivial matter as himself.

I thought there was no need to explain, but after thinking about it now, Ruyi still told the truth, "No one bullies me, they can't see me at all."

"Why?" Monkey King asked.

"I'm different from them," Ruyi said slowly, "People who don't know how to do well can't see me."
