There are no armor in the mountains, and a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. This is a famous saying from the immortal world.
Facts have proved that cultivating Taoism does take time. Wu Ming and Sun Wukong participated in the Ape Demon God Art together, and five hundred years passed before they knew it.
"Elder brother, you said that the magic ape looks back at the moon, which contains the magical power of catching stars and grasping the moon. But I have been enlightening it for three hundred years, why can't I understand it?" In the water curtain cave, Wu Ming and Sun Wukong were sitting cross-legged.
, his face was full of bitterness.
It is said that people who practice Taoism have talents, and the quality of their qualifications is very important.
Among these five hundred years, it took Wu Ming two hundred years to learn the magical power of Qiankun Throw, which can make attacks ten times more powerful.
For the remaining three hundred years, he listened to Sun Wukong's words and devoted himself to catching the stars and the moon, but to this day he has achieved nothing.
As for the senior brother, Wu Ming doesn't want to comment on this guy, it's just like cheating.
In five hundred years, Sun Wukong has understood a complete set of inheritance from the powerful demon ape, and his strength has directly risen to the peak of the immortal, and is only one step away from the Luotian immortal.
Wu Ming sometimes also thinks that even if Sun Wukong is the protagonist and his heels are colorful stones that patch the sky, there is no reason for him to be so powerful.
Could it be said that there are still differences between apes and humans? In the hands of a human like Wu Ming, the powerful magic ape skill is inherently less easy to practice than a monkey.
"Looking back at the moon, the most important thing is to look back again. How can you take down the sun, moon and stars without looking back?" Sun Wukong was lying on the stone throne, eating a bunch of grapes, still looking so bohemian.
After Wu Ming received Sun Wukong's explanation, he thought carefully about it for a while, and found that nine of the ten orifices were understood, while the remaining one was completely clueless.
"Stupid, why are you not smarter than me? You can't even learn this?" Sun Wukong received a complete inheritance and raised his hand directly towards Wu Ming.
In an instant, Wu Ming's mind exploded, and a massive amount of memories flooded into his mind.
In front of his eyes, he saw an ape in a battle robe standing on the mountain catching stars and the moon. Every time he stretched out his hand, more than a dozen stars dimmed and turned into palm-sized stones.
After nine shots in a row, there were 1,808 more stars around him, and the ape left with satisfaction.
"understand?"
"still none..."
As soon as Wu Ming finished his answer, the senior brother got angry, slapped the table and shouted: "Why don't you understand? Carefully look at the Taoist charm of the powerful demon ape's hands, feel it with your heart, and imagine yourself as a powerful demon ape.
"
The senior brother was angry, but he really regarded Wu Ming as his junior brother, and the five hundred years of getting along with him was not fake.
After getting angry, the senior brother threw away the grapes in his hand and stood up from the stone chair: "Look at me, follow me and pay attention to my movements."
Senior brother taught me step by step, and Wu Ming also learned step by step.
His talent is limited and he is not as good as his senior brother who can make rapid progress once he learns it.
However, he was not impatient, so he used the stupidest method and followed his senior brother's practice again and again. Every time he finished, he gained some insights.
"Boom!" During another practice, the senior brother suddenly shook his hands, and all the magic power in his body roared.
Wu Ming was directly blown back several steps by the magic power. When he looked up, the elder brother's eyes flashed with light, and the aura on his body became even more unpredictable.
"Is this a breakthrough?" Before the eldest brother made a breakthrough, he was only at the peak of immortality, not much higher than Wu Ming, who had three infinite gems.
But after this breakthrough, Wu Ming felt the power of the ocean from his senior brother.
It's as if what you are standing in front of is a sea, and you are like a small boat in the waves, which may be overturned at any time.
"Sir Luo Tian..." The elder brother's face was not happy, but rather melancholy.
Wu Ming knew what his senior brother was thinking, and he also knew that his arrogant senior brother liked to compare his current self with the Sun Wukong in the book.
In the book, Sun Wukong stayed on the Flower and Fruit Mountain for five hundred years before going out to seek immortality and visit the Tao.
When I arrived at Xie Yue Sanxing Cave in Fangcun Mountain, I only studied for ten years before going down the mountain. At that time, I had already cultivated to the level of a heavenly immortal.
Then the flat peaches would feast and drink, and countless nectar would pour down, along with several baskets of flat peaches, and they would arrive at Luotian Shangxian like a rocket.
Immediately afterwards, they made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and stole Laojun's elixir.
When it was refined in the Bagua furnace, all the medicinal powers were refined, and it was promoted from Luotian Immortal to Taiyi Xuanxian.
It can be said that Sun Wukong in Journey to the West has never practiced seriously at all. After a few adventures, he became the master of the wind and rain. Then he had a gambling fight with Buddha, spent 500 years under the Five Fingers Mountain, and then got on the Express Train of Journey to the West.
Daluo Daoguo has become a Buddha in the physical body through his merits.
Compared with Sun Wukong in Journey to the West, today's senior brother is still a little behind in the final analysis.
Although the ape demon's magical skills are good, this ape demon has never become a saint. Without the guidance of a famous teacher, it took Sun Wukong five hundred years to reach the level of Luo Tianshangxian.
Put it in the mortal world, even if it is the vast world, a heavenly immortal in five hundred years will not be said to be too slow.
But the senior brother himself knows that he is still too slow, because he knows that in the next five hundred years, he will never reach the Taiyi realm by just practicing hard in the next five hundred years.
"Without the Taiyi realm, I would have lost to myself in the book. How could I resist my fate? This won't work. The Ape Demon Magical Art advocates fighting. My progress is the fastest only in fighting. It's time for me to go down the mountain." Sun Wukong
He is proud and arrogant. After five hundred years of practice, he is no longer the ignorant little monkey.
Wu Ming stood aside silently. The senior brother was under pressure, so he wasn't.
It is said that a pawn crossing a river can hold up half a car, but after all he is not a car running amok, he is just a small pawn.
Without strength, it is as difficult for a small pawn to make a comeback as it is for a mortal to ascend to heaven.
In the past five hundred years, even with the supervision of his senior brother, if Wu Ming put aside the bonus of infinite gems, he would only be promoted from the immortal realm to the earthly immortal realm. It is hard to say when he will reach the heavenly realm.
Infinity stones are foreign objects after all. There are so many magic weapons in Journey to the West, but he doesn't think that with three infinity stones, he has the power to run amok.
"It's time for me to leave. My senior brothers are all pursuing the path of Taiyi, so I can't be too far behind. Moreover, the Journey to the West will begin in five hundred years. I haven't made any preparations here yet, so it's time to start planning now."
Wu Ming thought of this and said to his senior brother: "Senior brother, I also plan to go down the mountain. If you want to find a rival, why not come with me."
"Oh, do you know where there is a powerful character, let me try it myself?" Sun Wukong became interested. He wanted to break through quickly, and the only way was to fight endlessly.
In the five hundred years since Sun Wukong lived on the Huaguo Mountain, he has never been out, so he really doesn’t know where he can find an opponent.
"In the Western Region of the Tang Dynasty, there is a famous Guanyin Zen Temple. Two hundred miles south of the Zen Temple, there is a Batu Cave, and there is a very remarkable black bear spirit in it." The black bear spirit mentioned by Wu Ming was on the journey to the west.
, the black bear monster who is inseparable from Sun Wukong.
This black bear monster is a strange species from heaven and earth. Although he has no master or backing, he has practiced on his own and can resist Sun Wukong for 80 rounds. It is difficult to distinguish his opponent.
In ancient fighting generals, if there is no winner or loser in sixty rounds, it can be regarded as meeting the opponent.
Being able to fight Sun Wukong for 80 rounds without deciding the outcome, one can imagine the bravery of the black bear spirit. Otherwise, Master Guanyin would not have appeared in person at the last moment to accurately refine the black bear and bring it to the Purple Bamboo Forest as a
My own mountain guardian.
"It turns out it's that black guy. He is indeed a good opponent." After hearing Wu Ming's introduction, Sun Wukong also nodded secretly.
With nothing to hesitate, the two of them went straight to the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty to look for the Guanyin Temple.
Guanyin Temple is very famous in the Western Regions. Although there was no money-grubbing presiding officer at this period, the name has spread.
After searching the city and asking around for a while, Wu Ming and his two men found the Zen Temple, and the only thing left was to find the Batu Caves.
"Tui, Di Di, come out quickly!" A hundred miles away from Guanyin Monastery, there are endless mountains. It is very difficult to find a Batu Caves.
Sun Wukong didn't have any thoughts. He and a black bear spirit cat directly called out the Earth God here.
"Where did the monster monkey come from? Why is it so rude?" The elder brother used the method of exorcism to forcefully summon the Earth God.
The Earth God is an old man with a white beard. He looks sleepy and reluctant: "You monkey monster, what do you want from me?"
"I ask you, where is the Batu Cave? Quickly show me the way." This Earth Lord is a small god just because of his meritorious deeds. His cultivation is not yet at the level of an immortal. The senior brother doesn't care about the other party's attitude at all.
It's a pity that there is a saying that the village chief is still a cadre no matter how young he is. The elder brother looks down on this little god like the Tugong, but he feels very good about himself.
Now when he heard the words of the elder brother, the Tugong frowned slightly and threatened: "It's okay to ask for directions, but what about filial piety?"
"What kind of filial piety?" The eldest brother has never been out, and he doesn't know the rules here.
Although the Tugong is small, he is still a member of the Heavenly Court's system.
On weekdays, it's fine if it's immortals and Buddhas asking for directions, but if it's demons, ghosts, or juniors from various sects who have lost their way, it's absolutely unacceptable not to show filial piety.
"Elder brother, filial piety is a benefit, and the other party needs money to do things."
Wu Ming explained something, and the elder brother immediately became angry: "Okay, you actually dare to ask for filial piety from me. I think you are impatient. Do you know who I am?"
