Seeing the Taoist boy at this moment, Xu Ran thought that Patriarch Bodhi knew that he was coming and sent a Taoist boy out to greet him, so Xu Ran asked: "But Patriarch Bodhi is sitting down boy."
The boy was about seven or eight years old, with red lips and white teeth. He clasped his hands together and nodded, saying: "Master just said that there will be someone outside the door who will come to seek Taoism and practice, and that is you."
Xu Ran nodded: "Yes, it's me, can I go in?"
The boy smiled and nodded and said, "Master has been waiting for a long time. Please follow the boy in."
When Xu Ran heard what the boy said, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could enter Patriarch Bodhi's dojo, he would have spent more than half a month across the ocean in vain.
Xu Ran followed the boy in and walked on a stone road. This stone road was a natural mountain peak with cliffs and deep valleys on both sides, a vast expanse of white. On the mountain walls, there were some extremely precious elixirs growing.
This is the dojo of Patriarch Bodhi. It is a spiritual mountain with rich spiritual energy. The vegetation and animals in this mountain all benefit from it. The vegetation becomes spiritual beings, and the animals also activate their spiritual wisdom and become spirits.
However, because of Patriarch Bodhi, the monsters in the mountains did not go out to harm people and concentrated on cultivating.
After walking for more than a minute, we entered the cave. It was not actually a cave, it was just a semicircular opening through which we could see the scenery outside.
An old man with an ethereal temperament sat on a boulder.
He was wearing a white Taoist robe, his hair was white, his eyes were closed, his eyebrows were kind, and he did not exude a breath. He was just like an ordinary old man, but Xu Ran could not see through this man's cultivation.
Thinking of this, Xu Ran smiled self-deprecatingly. Patriarch Bodhi was the most mysterious hidden master in Journey to the West, and his true identity was suspected to be Tathagata Buddha's junior disciple. However, whether this news is true or just a rumor remains to be verified.
This kind of character's cultivation can be said to be one of the top talents in Journey to the West. It's natural that he can't see through it based on his cultivation.
In addition to the Bodhi Patriarch sitting at the top, there are two to four disciples sitting on each step below. There are more than ten disciples in total, wearing blue Taoist scarves and blue cloths.
"Disciple Xu Ran, I have traveled thousands of miles to see Master Bodhi. I hope to learn some immortality techniques and gain the power to protect myself. I hope Master Bodhi will accept me as his disciple." Xu Ran said with clasped fists, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.
Patriarch Bodhi nodded, without rejecting or agreeing.
"You have excellent bones and have already practiced Taoism. Why do you come to me to seek the magic of immortality?" said Patriarch Bodhi.
Xu Ran was stunned. Ancestor Bodhi had actually seen his practice, and said quickly: "Actually, this is the case. When I was a child, my disciple accidentally fell into a cave and got a secret book. He didn't know how to practice, so he learned it.
Some".
"It was precisely because of the unexpected practice of Taoism that the disciple became interested in it, so he decided to become a master and traveled thousands of miles to come to you, the Patriarch."
No matter how powerful Bodhi Patriarch is, he definitely doesn’t know about killing immortals, so he can just be vague about it.
Ancestor Bodhi glanced at Xu Ran and said: "You have immortal power flowing in your body, but it is very rare. You can barely be considered an immortal, so that's okay. From today on, you will stay in Sanxing Cave."
"Thank you, Master" Xu Ran was immediately overjoyed.
Xu Ran quickly knelt down to Patriarch Bodhi and kowtowed twice.
Xu Ran was willing to kowtow to such a powerful person.
"I'm tired now. You take Xu Ran to learn the rules and etiquette and clean up a bedroom." After finishing speaking, Patriarch Bodhi stood up and turned around and walked towards the cave.
"Let's go, junior brother, we will take you there." A boy came around, looked at Xu Ran and said, "My name is Lin Ping, and I am the son of the hunter at the foot of the mountain."
"Senior Brother Lin, hello," Xu Ran said politely.
Although the senior brother named Lin Ping in front of him had very low spiritual energy and was much weaker than him, he was still his senior brother. Xu Ran did not feel that he was superior to others, but treated him as an equal.
"Junior brother, where are you from?" Lin Ping asked.
"I can be regarded as Dongsheng Shenzhou," Xu Ran said.
Lin Ping suddenly opened his mouth in an exaggerated manner and said: "Junior brother, you are actually from Dongsheng Shenzhou. Dongsheng Shenzhou is far away from us, Xiniuhezhou, but there are two seas separated by Nanfangbuzhou. Not to mention the long distance.
All kinds of demons are dormant in the mountains, forests and seas, and ordinary people cannot come to us at all."
Xu Ran smiled and said: "Fortunately, I'm relatively lucky and basically haven't encountered any monsters."
Lin Ping gave a thumbs up and said: "No matter what, I admire you very much, but I don't have the courage to go such a long way anyway."
"By the way, let me take you to where we live," Lin Ping said, and then took Xu Ran to a cave. There were rectangular stone platforms in the cave, and there was only a wooden board on the stone platform.
Xu Ran said: "The environment is so simple."
Lin Ping smiled and said: "We are Taoists. We devote ourselves to Taoism. Why should we care about where we live? If we want to enjoy ourselves, we might as well go down the mountain and be ordinary people. What's the point of practicing Taoism?"
"Okay" Xu Ran spread his hands.
"By the way, there are a few things you need to pay attention to. The water we use comes from the foot of the mountain. You must go down to dive every morning. You are not allowed to use magic power. Just fill the water tank."
"Master will give a sermon every half a month, which lasts for half a day. You must come when Master is preaching, otherwise Master will be angry, and the consequence of being angry is probably to be expelled from the Master."
"In addition, when Master is preaching, you are not allowed to talk or make any noise."
"Okay, that's about it."
Lin Ping said a lot in one breath.
"I still have something to do, please get familiar with our Sanxing Cave," Lin Ping said, and then left.
After Lin Ping left, Xu Ran touched his chin.
I don't know what calendar year it is now, I don't know if Sun Wukong jumped out of the stone, or if he has gone to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, Xu Ran doesn't know this.
Now I can only stay in Sanxing Cave. After I learn the skills passed down by Patriarch Bodhi and improve my cultivation level by one level, I can almost go out to explore.
You must know that Sun Wukong only practiced with Patriarch Bodhi for three years, and Sun Wukong became so powerful that he ascended to heaven and earth, received hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers, kings of the four directions, Jiuyao Divine Lord, and many other immortals.
No one is Sun Wukong's opponent.
Except for one Yang Jian who can fight equally with Sun Wukong.
In the end, Tathagata Buddha took action and suppressed Sun Wukong.
However, after all, Sun Wukong is a spiritual creature channeled through the divine stone that contains the aura of heaven and earth. He was exposed to wind and rain, and absorbed the essence of the sun and moon. It took who knows how many years to produce this spiritual creature.
It's amazing since he was born.
Xu Ran felt that if his qualifications were half as good as Sun Wukong's, that would be almost the same.
"Forget it, I can't be too ambitious. I'll wait until Patriarch Bodhi teaches me the techniques." Then, Xu Ran shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind.
