【Chapter 4】Name Wukong

"What birthday present do you want, Luoluo?"

"Anything is okay?" The young Bai Luo opened his eyes wide, and there was a different kind of expectation in the big eyes, "I want the doll of the Great Sage!"

——This kind of dialogue often appeared in the years before Bai Luo was ten years old.

As a member of the post-[-]s generation, Bai Luo's love for Monkey King is obvious to all.When I was a child, Bai Luo’s family conditions were not good. In my spare time, I could only huddle together in a small room and watch Liu Xiaolingtong’s version of "Journey to the West". After ten years, the special effects that seemed to be shoddy were also the best among the best. .

Compared with the current accounts that are deliberately photographed for popularity, "Journey to the West" is really much better.From the characters to the plot, from the picture to the soundtrack, it has never lived up to its "classic" name above its head.

"Journey to the West" is also a holy summer product for the children of that era to spend their summer vacation.Every time they saw Monkey King on the screen holding a golden cudgel and laughing wantonly, beating up monsters, the children couldn't help applauding.Picking up a bamboo pole that is taller than himself, standing on a tall rock, and waving the bamboo pole with a loud whistling sound, Bai Luo would occasionally imitate the appearance of the great sage, shouting: "Hey! Eat my old grandson with a stick!" !"

In the blink of an eye, Bai Luo is already in his 20s.

Study, work, and interpersonal relationship, there is nothing that is not a troublesome matter that is not as troublesome as the golden hoop on the head of the Great Sage.Bai Luo was so upset that sometimes she had to hide in her room and look at pictures of the Great Sage to amuse herself.No matter which version of the Great Sage it is, it is an irreplaceable existence in Bai Luo's eyes.

No one can understand how important the Sun Wukong, Monkey King in childhood, occupies in Bai Luo's heart.

That is an obsession, an obsession that has not faded over the years.

Seeds planted as children often produce stronger plants than anyone expected.

In the movie theater, when the ending song played to the end, Bai Luo still sat there blankly, motionless.The little niece turned sideways, wiped Bai Luo's eyes, and asked doubtfully, "Auntie, why are you crying?"

"It's nothing." Bai Luo smiled calmly, with thousands of streams of light flowing in his eyes, "I'm happy."

I am happy, the hero in my heart, the Great Sage, has really returned.

01.

His throat was so dry it was about to smoke.

The monkey moved its fingers with difficulty and found no discomfort except for some stiffness in the joints.His eyelids were heavy, his whole body lacked strength, and the tiredness of so many days surged up one after another, crushing him mercilessly.However, how could he, the majestic Monkey King, be defeated by these?

It was probably because the deep part of his brain involuntarily conveyed this message, and his body finally functioned as he wished.

Having not drank water for many days, his throat was so sore that it was about to smoke, and the monkey coughed a few times uncomfortably.Immediately afterwards, there was a rustling sound beside him, something hard touched his lips, and immediately sweet water was poured into his mouth instinctively, and the gentle power rescued him from it.

The monkey drank a little more anxiously, and the monkey turned his head and choked, and Bai Luo's voice sounded close at hand, complaining slightly: "Oh, oh, why are you drinking so quickly? Will the water still run away?"

Although his mouth was as unforgiving as before, Bai Luo still patted the monkey's back with incredible gentleness.Once, once, caress the monkey's back to help him calm down his breathing.

The monkey opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Bai Luo's smiling face with pursed lips.

Her jet-black hair was already tied on the top of her head, and she was wearing a plain white school uniform. Compared with the crazy girl who always had her hair disheveled in the past, she was much neater and tidier.The eyebrows and eyes remained unchanged, but the monkey always felt that Bai Luo's eyes were much brighter than before, as if filled with the brilliance of the starry sky.

Sweeping his gaze up and down, the monkey looked at the unscathed Bai Luo, and the heart hanging in his throat finally jumped back into his stomach.

The monkey opened its mouth, and spit out the sentence that made Bai Luo want to beat him up: "Why are you an annoying fox again?"

The good image established in the past few days was disintegrated under the attack of the monkey's words, and Bai Luo grinned and raised his voice: "Bah! Why do you talk like that, you bloody monkey! I took care of you in the past few days when you were in a coma! "

What does "I don't know what to wear" mean? This kind of serious question is obviously not something that a monkey who has never learned this kind of thing can explore. He selectively ignored the words he didn't understand, and turned his head with a very disdainful expression: "Huh, Will I need your care?"

Bai Luo rolled his eyes indecently, obviously he was used to the monkey's inappropriate state.You know, it is more difficult than going to heaven to hear "thank you" from a monkey.

Monkey is thin-skinned and can't say such sensational words, especially to Bai Luo who bickers with him all the time.

Bai Luo poked the monkey who continued to turn his face away from the dead body: "Okay, get up quickly if you have nothing to do, it's time for you to go to apprentice."

Hearing the word "apprenticeship", the monkey jumped up from the bed like a chicken blood, and it was more effective than taking any panacea. The corners of Bai Luo's mouth twitched when he saw it, and he cursed: "If I knew you were so excited, I would have told you directly." You go to apprentice, I don't even need to take care of you."

02.

Bai Luo and Hou Zi were rescued by Bodhi Patriarch.

That day the monkey fainted after fighting all the monsters, Bai Luo carried the monkey on his back and climbed the mountain for a day and a night without getting any water, but finally fainted halfway due to exhaustion.After Bai Luo woke up, he found that he had arrived at his destination - the Three Star Cave in Fangcun Mountain.The master that the monkey wanted to pay homage to - Bodhi Patriarch - pinched his gray beard, looked at Bai Luo who was kneeling in front of him, and said with a smile:

"Okay, okay, although you are a monster, you don't have a trace of a monster in your body, but you have a powerful aura. If you practice hard in the future, you will become a great weapon."

Bai Luo was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed and bowed: "Thank you, Patriarch, for your praise."

"Do you have a name?" Patriarch Bodhi asked.

"Back to Patriarch, the little girl's name is Bai Luo. I came here today to worship Patriarch as a teacher, and I also asked Patriarch to accept the little girl and monkey as apprentices." Bai Luo didn't raise his head, but his voice was firm and resounding, "One day is a teacher for life. As a father, Bai Luo and the monkey will repay the great kindness and virtue of today a thousand times."

Seeing that Patriarch Bodhi wanted to accept him, Bai Luo sold the monkey along with him. He finished what he had to say in one breath, and waited anxiously for Patriarch Bodhi's answer.

It has been a long time since he heard the answer he wanted, even the clever Bai Luo was even more nervous.The monkey has a strange origin and outstanding aptitude. With its wild strength, it can defeat the monsters steadily. How can the ancestor of this kind of raw jade Bodhi not be willing to accept it?However, his silence at this time whetted Bai Luo's appetite.

What does silence mean?Don't want to collect monkeys?

What if Patriarch Bodhi only accepts himself?Do you want to drive the monkey back to Huaguo Mountain?Or go with him by yourself?How could a man as proud as Monkey bear the humiliation of being kicked out after failing to become a teacher?

If Patriarch Bodhi really didn't want to accept monkeys, Bai Luo would kneel down in this hall every day.If he doesn't agree, Bai Luo won't get up for a day.

Having made up his mind, Patriarch Bodhi made a calculation and sighed deeply: "He is not a thing in the pool."

Bai Luo raised his head, overjoyed: "Then Master means..."

His brows and eyes were tangled together, Patriarch Bodhi seemed to have foreseen something that was difficult to speak, and in the end he just loosened his brows: "Forget it, if it's God's will, it won't help if I deliberately avoid it." After all, Patriarch Bodhi was gentle With a smile, "Luo'er, you will live in this cave from now on, and study with all the seniors, can you concentrate on your cultivation?"

"Thank you, Master!" Bai Luo buckled his head three times, then raised his face with an expectant expression, "Master, that monkey...?"

"I will heal him. When he wakes up, you can bring him to me."

Patriarch Bodhi ordered his disciples to put the monkey in place, and Bai Luo followed anxiously, sitting beside the monkey's bed and holding the monkey's hand, with endless words hidden in his eyes.

Patriarch Bodhi saw it and sighed straight away: "Everything is fate, and everything cannot be controlled by others."

The bond between Bai Luo and him had already been established thousands of years ago.

03.

On the way to apprentice, the monkey became more and more excited, jumping up and down without stopping for a moment.

Monkey: "Master, is someone else powerful?"

Bai Luo: "Excellent, Master is the most powerful person in the world."

Monkey: "Then can he conjure a peach bigger than a washbasin?"

Bai Luo: "Of course, Master can even conjure a peach that is as big as a mountain."

Monkey: "Then master can fly? Is it flying fast?"

Bai Luo: "Quick, that's pretty fast."

…………

It is rare for a monkey to talk so much, and the questions one after another are like a cannonball.Bai Luo was not annoyed, and looked at the monkey's extremely excited appearance with amused expression, and patiently said what he said to fool him, creating a tall and mighty fairy image for their master in his heart.

Seeing Patriarch Bodhi, the always proud and arrogant monkey knelt down at the feet of Patriarch Bodhi without saying a word, and said excitedly in his tone, "Disciple pays homage to Master!"

Patriarch Bodhi nodded: "Are you here with Luo'er?"

The monkey replied: "Yes."

"Can you have a name?"

"No, disciples don't have names. The monkeys and grandchildren of my Huaguo Mountain all call me King."

"Okay," Patriarch Bodhi nodded with a smile, and stroked his beard, "Since you don't have a name, how about letting the teacher pick one for you?"

After pondering for a moment, Patriarch Bodhi said: "You are both a monkey and a hozen, so your surname is Sun Ba; according to the seniority of the disciples, the vast wisdom is really like the nature of Haiying Yuanjue, and you just came to the word 'Enlightenment'... how about you name it? Just 'Wukong'."

Wukong, Sun Wukong.

This is the name of the monkey.

From now on, the monkey is no longer a wild monkey without a name. His name is Sun Wukong, and he is a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi.

Bai Luo stood quietly watching his ecstatic appearance after getting the name, and his smile was prettier than any blooming flower in this world.

04.

The master worshiped, and the spells were also learned. The monkey—oh no, it should be called Sun Wukong now—he held the book all day long, studied spells diligently, and his mana improved day by day. It's amazing.Patriarch Bodhi was overjoyed and began to teach Sun Wukong more, more difficult and more powerful spells.

However, this is not all a good thing, such special treatment has aroused the jealousy of all senior brothers and sisters.Sun Wukong himself is arrogant and arrogant, and he can't tolerate others saying that he is not at all.It's just a matter that can be solved with one sentence, and Monkey King has to make a fuss to relieve his anger.Therefore, he didn't get along well with his brothers and sisters.

On the contrary, Bai Luo, who is good at communicating with others, is loved by everyone, and everyone is willing to chat with the good-tempered Bai Luo.

The outcast Sun Wukong and Bai Luo are in stark contrast.

Monkey King didn't say anything, but kept muttering "Isn't it just a stinky fox? What's so rare", but mercilessly grabbed the grass to vent his anger.

Bah, what did you say that you will stay with me all the time, but when you see so many little monsters, you ignore me.

It's very rare, I just learned the art of immortality and went back to share it with the monkeys and grandchildren of my mountain!When the time comes, you stinky fox will stay here to accompany your fellow apprentices!

Monkey King angrily took a bite of the bright and juicy peach.

Once, Monkey King was punished by the Bodhi Patriarch to sweep the backyard because he had a disagreement with a senior brother and started a fight.

The moon was bright and bright that night, and the empty backyard was extremely quiet, only the sound of the broom sweeping the ground and my own breathing.Sun Wukong was holding the broom, feeling as dissatisfied as he wanted, wishing he could take up the broom and sweep it to vent his anger.

"Monkey." A warm and peaceful voice came from the top of the head, as sweet as spring water.

Looking up, Bai Luo was sitting on the roof in white clothes, looking at Monkey King with his chin propped up and just smiling.

The moonlight was as warm as water, shining on Bai Luo's face, and her slender eyelashes cast a beautiful shadow on her face.Bai Luo has grown up a lot, and her current appearance can be called a girl, and her twitchy mouth is not as childish as before.The corners of her skirt were swaying in the wind, and Bai Luo seemed to be at ease no matter how she looked at it.

Sun Wukong relaxed in his heart, but his face still had the expression of "you owe me a peach from Huaguoshan": "Why are you here? See how embarrassed I am today? Hmph."

Because of various reasons for practicing spells and interpersonal relationships, Monkey King has not had a good chat with Bai Luo for a long time.If you say he misses it a little, Sun Wukong will definitely jump out and say that the man is talking nonsense; if you say he doesn't miss it... Anyway, Bai Luo doesn't believe it.

Just looking at Sun Wukong's usually lonely eyes, Bai Luo could guess what he was thinking.

The monkey back then, now the Monkey King, his mind is as pure as a piece of blank paper, how could he deceive Bai Luo who is good at perceiving people's hearts.

It's just that Bai Luo doesn't know how to point it out.

In the past few days, Bai Luo has also learned a lot of spells. Although it is not a spell that is earth-shattering and weeping ghosts and gods, it is enough to deal with the needs of daily life-but no matter how smart she is, she still can't keep up with Monkey King in learning spells. schedule.

But this is also within her expectations, the day Patriarch Bodhi said "he is not a thing in the pool" is enough to show that Bai Luo and Sun Wukong will not be able to stand together in the future.

Bai Luo grinningly rolled over from the roof and landed, ran to Monkey King, grabbed his paw, a bloodstain on the back of his hand spread from between his fingers to his arm, even a monkey hair could not block the wound, the mottled blood stained the monkey hair On it, it condensed into lumps because it was not treated.

Seeing Bai Luo's silent look, Monkey King said awkwardly, "It's not a serious wound..."

The words "don't worry" were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter them at all. Sun Wukong scratched the back of his head with his other hand that was not caught.

"You know how to fight fiercely," Bai Luo lowered his head, conjured up a bottle of ointment and smeared it on him carefully, "I see you, even if you learn the most powerful spells, you are still the one who only knows how to fight." dead monkey."

The voice was very quiet, not at all like Bai Luo who was happy and happy on weekdays.

Sun Wukong didn't reply for the first time, he hesitated for a while and finally put his paw on Bailuo's head: "I'm fine, those guys can't hurt me."

Three seconds later, Monkey King hurriedly took his hand away as if realizing something: "So, so, fox, don't worry about it! I'm the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain!"

Bai Luo sniffed: "Well, monkeys are the most powerful."

"Stinky fox, I already have a name, don't call me monkey monkey all the time!"

"I take care of you!"

"Fox" and "monkey" are the best promises between them.
