After suppressing King Yu Tao, the threat blocking the east side of Chongshan Academy disappeared, and the pace of expansion suddenly accelerated.
Over the past thirty years, this kind of thing has happened several times.
With the assistance of the Bronze Mirror and the Hunyuan Divine Sect, the fast-growing direct disciples of Chongshan Academy grew rapidly. More and more of them broke through and became Taiyi Celestial Immortals, quickly becoming the backbone of Chongshan Academy.
Lingtai Fangcun Mountain thirty years later.
Patriarch Bodhi was sitting on the high platform and preaching. Although there was no strange phenomenon like the falling of the sky or the golden lotus emerging from the ground, the sound was still powerful and mysterious.
All the disciples were fascinated and drunk.
Glancing at Sun Wukong who was sitting in the middle of the crowd and listening carefully, Patriarch Bodhi frowned slightly. The other person's qualifications were a little lower than he thought.
It took thirty years to refine the immortal body and become a Yuanyang Immortal.
Thinking that the time was almost up, he stopped preaching and all the disciples woke up one after another.
"Wukong?"
"The disciple is here."
Sun Wukong, who was wearing a blue Taoist robe, responded quickly.
"How long have you been at my place?"
"My disciple is stupid and doesn't know the year. I only know that the peaches on Nanshan Mountain have been eaten by my disciple twenty times."
"The name of that mountain is 'Rotten Peach Mountain'. If you eat it twenty times, it will be twenty years." After a pause, "What do you want to learn from me?"
"Disciples don't dare to be greedy for more. Just what the patriarch teaches every day is enough."
Sun Wukong was respectful and did not go overboard in the slightest.
Patriarch Bodhi twitched the corners of his mouth.
This has nothing to do with the plot.
Looking at the respectful Sun Wukong, he took a breath.
"What you have learned is just superficial. I have three hundred and sixty sects here, and all sects have positive results. I wonder which one you want to learn?"
Sun Wukong carefully looked at the expression of his ancestor.
"According to the master's will, the disciple will obey it wholeheartedly."
The Patriarch said: "How about I teach you the way of the sect with the word 'shu'?"
Sun Wukong asked curiously: "What do you mean by the way of martial arts?"
"In the Shuzi sect, there are those who ask the immortal Fuluan to ask for divination, and they can know the principles of pursuing good fortune and avoiding misfortune."
Sun Wukong said happily: "I am willing to learn, I am willing to learn!"
"How about I teach you the secret of the word 'Liu'?"
Monkeys are curious by nature, and so are old monkeys.
"What is in Liuzimen?"
"In the Liuzi sect, there are Confucianists, Buddhists, Taoists, Yin Yangists, Mohists, and doctors who read sutras, recite Buddha's name, and pay homage to the true saints."
"Willing to learn, willing to learn."
Sun Wukong was very happy. As a 'monkey' who was new to spiritual practice, he was interested in any magic or method.
"How about I teach you the secret of the word 'quiet'?" the Patriarch continued.
"What is the true fruit of Jing Zi Sect?"
"This is about resting food and guarding the grain, being quiet and doing nothing, meditating, practicing precepts, fasting, sleeping or performing meritorious deeds, and incorporating it into the meditation pass."
"Willing to learn, willing to learn."
Hearing this, the Patriarch snorted angrily, jumped off the high platform, held a ruler in hand, and pointed at Wukong: "You hozen, you learn this and that, without any certainty at all. You are really greedy."
He stepped forward, hit Wukong three times on the head, put his hands behind his back, walked inside, and closed the middle door, leaving only the disciples looking at each other.
"You bastard, the founder studied heaven and man, and has three hundred and sixty-five different methods, all of which can lead to Taoism and fruition. It seems that our disciples have gained a great opportunity. I can't wait to study it day by day, all the time.
It’s best to think carefully and never be greedy for too much.”
"You are so greedy and have a mediocre nature, you want to practice the Three Ways of Taoism? You have made the founder very angry, and it has caused us to have no way to follow the Tao. It is really abominable."
"What Senior Brother Liu said is true. This monkey's greed has angered the Patriarch. It should be taught a lesson."
"I think this monkey will be driven down the mountain by the Patriarch in a few days."...
All the disciples were talking about everything.
As time passed, they dispersed in twos and threes.
Looking at the backs of everyone, Sun Wukong was terrified, fearing that he would anger the Patriarch and be driven down the mountain.
Suddenly, a generous palm made Sun Wukong turn his head subconsciously.
A fair and handsome face appeared in front of him.
"Junior Brother Liu."
"Senior Brother, it's okay. The Patriarch will not vent his anger on you."
"real?"
"certainly."
After some comfort, Liu Zhen frowned as he watched the monkey leave.
"Something seems wrong."
Shaking his head, after leaving the courtyard, he returned to his residence.
Although Xianyue Sanxing Cave seems to be just a simple Taoist temple, there is a cave inside and the area is vast, covering hundreds of miles.
The mysterious temple of Patriarch Bodhi is located on the top of the mountain.
The disciples' dojo is located on the mountainside, and no one is allowed to approach it unless summoned by the Patriarch or when the Patriarch is giving a sermon.
Liu Zhen is one of the oldest disciples in Xianyue Sanxing Cave, and his dojo is closest to Xuanmiao Temple.
After closing the door and thanking guests, we went to the inside of the cave and walked to the bookshelf. After moving it away, a downward passage was revealed.
After going down about seven or eight meters, the tunnel becomes longer.
Although the tunnel was dim, for Liu Zhen, whose cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul realm and could already see things in the dark, it was no different from the daytime.
As you keep moving forward along the tunnel, you can feel that he is moving upwards.
After about three or four hundred meters, we finally reached the end.
At this time, Liu Zhen had already restrained his aura to the extreme, and the sound of footsteps had long since disappeared. Even in the last hundred meters, every time he took a step, he would have to pause for a quarter of an hour before taking the next step.
After spending several hours, we finally reached the end of the tunnel.
Liu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the stone urn embedded in the stone chamber more than ten meters away, which was still intact.
Concentrating his magic power to the extreme, he stepped onto the high platform and sat cross-legged under the stone urn.
You can see that at the bottom of the stone urn, a pencil-thick hemp rope stretches for a hundred meters and is embedded in a small urn the size of a basketball.
One meter upward from this small urn is a cloud bed one foot long and six feet wide.
Sitting on the cloud bed is an old Taoist priest wearing a soap-colored Taoist robe, with three long beards on his chin, a thin complexion, a jade crown on his head, and an immortal style.
It is the ‘Bodhi Patriarch’.
Liu Zhen listened quietly to the movement in the urn, feeling expectant and anxious.
As a person who has watched "Journey to the West" countless times and was once a melon-eater in the Chinese world, he was excited when he was reborn in the earthly immortal world and knew that not far from his home was the Xie Yue Sanxing Cave in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.
Liu Zhen, who thought that his fortune had turned around and had become the protagonist, went up the mountain to become a disciple with unlimited expectations.
Perhaps because he still had some qualifications, Patriarch Bodhi took him under his sect, and of course he was regarded as a registered disciple.
Although he obtained the method of cultivation as he wished, it was obviously not a master. After a hundred years of cultivation, he was only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Liu Zhen, who blamed his poor martial arts skills, begged Patriarch Bodhi several times to accept him as his direct successor. Not only did he fail, but he was almost kicked off the mountain. After that, he started to pay attention to eavesdropping.
Moreover, while Patriarch Bodhi was out, he made the simplest eavesdropping device and used the earth escape technique to dig the tunnel.
He thought about making a more complex eavesdropping device, even a magical weapon, but Patriarch Bodhi's cultivation level was too high and any fluctuations in magic power would be sensed by him, so it was not as secretive as something ordinary like this.
If he is discovered, he will also appoint him. If he prays to Patriarch Bodhi, he will not lose his life.
If he is not discovered and obtains the 'Great Immortal Secret' that he dreams of, his future path will be smooth.
So after seeing the most memorable part of Journey to the West, he came here.
After Sun Wukong understood the three precepts of Patriarch Bodhi, he came from the backyard.
