The Monkey King

Seeing Subhuti's brows furrowed, Qingfengzi slowly placed a black stone on the chess line and asked, "Master, do you think that what you said to the fifth junior brother tonight was a little too much?"

Upon hearing this, Subhuti shook his head slowly, but his eyes never left the chessboard. He stretched out his hand to pick up a white piece and put it on the chessboard and said, "Do you know why as a teacher, except for Wukong who just entered the school, all the nine disciples who have entered the room have learned something?" Success, but your fifth junior brother Qingyunzi is left alone in the observation?"

"Disciple doesn't know."

Subhuti smiled faintly and said helplessly: "Your fifth junior brother is superior in talent, but has an honest and paranoid temperament. He lacks scheming, lacks some city government, and sticks to the old rules. He pursues fairness in everything and does not know how to advance or retreat. But he does not know that there is nothing but fairness in this world. , and there are so many things that are unclear.”

After a long silence and a long sigh, Subhuti continued: "You need to know that cultivating immortals is just spying, and the path to immortality is dangerous. Even if you have achieved success, if you have such a temperament and leave the Three Stars Cave of the Setting Moon, I am afraid you will be beaten by the full moon." Gods and Buddhas gnawed their corpses until no bones were left."

Qingfengzi lowered his head and said nothing, picked up the black piece and put it on.

"My teacher has sent him to take care of the affairs in the temple over the years, and I intended to gain experience. Looking at it tonight, it may be even worse than before. It is true that nature cannot be violated. What happened tonight might as well teach him a lesson. That's right. The monkey head has reached the late stage of concentration in just a few months, which is somewhat beyond the teacher's expectation. Such qualifications are even better than those of Yang Jian back then. It is not in vain that I have given him all the time. I hope so much." After saying that, he held up his sleeves, placed Bai Zi in front of Qing Feng Zi, and turned to ask: "Do you have any news about the Qian Kun Qi Yin wood that my master asked you to find?"

"The apprentice heard that the Antarctic Immortal had a piece in his hand, so he replaced it with a few pills and brought it to the master." After that, Qingyunzi put his hand into his sleeve and took out a piece that was completely black and about five fingers wide. The block of wood, which was more than a foot long, was placed in front of Subhuti with both hands.

He casually took the piece of wood and put it aside. Subhuti said, "It'll be good if you find it. The big piece of wood that I got in the early years was cut into nine pieces. Now not a single piece is left. It'll be good if you find it."

After that, another child came out of nowhere.

Qingyunzi rolled up his sleeves, placed a piece of paper, and asked, "Master, are you preparing this for your tenth junior brother?"

Subhuti did not answer, but said with a smile: "All of you Ninth Master Brothers have him, and he is also my disciple. How can you not? Have you seen your third junior brother Dan Tongzi in these years?"

"Apprentice is walking in the North, and the third junior brother is traveling in the East Continent. I have never met him before. I have heard from the eighth junior brother that the third junior brother is busy forging magic weapons and collecting all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Why does the master suddenly mention it?"

"No one will take care of the matter in the future. I would like to leave it to your third junior brother as a teacher."

"Oh?" Qingfengzi's hand paused slightly: "The thing in the view now is not the fifth junior brother..."

"Your fifth junior brother, haha, I may not be able to get out of the confusion tonight. It doesn't matter if I don't mention it. It doesn't matter if I don't mention it." Subhuti shook his head and waved his hands.

Qingfengzi was silent, and after a few more moves of chess, he asked: "When it comes to the character of being a teacher, the eighth junior brother Ling Yunzi is the best and the best teacher. In recent years, my unscrupulous disciples have also been entrusted to me. People around him have made a lot of progress. If the master writes a letter, no matter where he is, junior brother Ling Yun will definitely rush back immediately. Why does the master want to belong to the third junior brother Dantong's son? The third junior brother has a close relationship with the fifth junior brother, and He has a weird and perverse personality. I heard that some of his disciples ran away because they couldn't stand his temper. He is really not the best candidate. If he is in charge, he will probably stand up for the fifth junior brother, and tonight's matter will not stop there. The next ten Junior brother Sun Wukong is only afraid of..."

"I'm afraid I'll have to suffer~" Subhuti sighed cheerfully: "If you suffer in my Sanxingyue Cave, it's better to stumble outside later. Besides, the path of a practitioner is a side branch, just like a magic skill, and it's easy to cultivate. It is successful, but it is extremely dangerous. It was originally a popular technique before becoming a god, but now in the peaceful and prosperous age, the eyes and ears of heaven are everywhere. If there is no place to release the violent energy, in the end, the practice may be like trying to draw water from a bamboo basket."

Qingfengzi's eyes left the chessboard, stared at Subhuti for a long time, and said: "Master is very considerate of those ten junior brothers. However, what the fifth junior brother said tonight is not wrong. Master is like this, I’m afraid there will be… no peace in the future.”

Subhuti slowly straightened up, looked at Qingfengzi and said, "Is peace a good thing?"

"this……"

Subhuti picked up the tea cup casually, took a sip, and said: "Everyone in the world knows that my Taoist mind method is divided into four levels. Concentrating the mind, absorbing the mind, refining the mind, and transforming the mind. But few people know that there is a fifth level above. It is called the way of heaven. Today, Taoist ancestors have practiced "inaction", and Buddha has practiced "no-self". Cultivation of immortals is to act against heaven, but they have cultivated a way to comply with destiny. Hum, it is really ridiculous! Ridiculous! Cultivation of immortals and seeking Tao is a matter of stealing the world. , but in the end, it was all cultivated like this, what benefit is it to the common people? It is no wonder that Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of Tathagata Buddha, has made a great wish to save all sentient beings."

Subhuti smiled bitterly and let out a long sigh.

Qingfengzi was shocked and asked quickly: "Master, are you going to help him?"

Subhuti said helplessly: "What Jin Chanzi wants to do is to follow the path of universal enlightenment, to establish his own branch of the transcendental Buddha path, and to cultivate as a teacher comes from the same lineage as the Supreme Being. How can he have such ability? He is just following the tide. He is just trying to win people. The teacher must also be worthy of the apprentice's ringing head. The monkey's head intends to reverse the destiny. When he first enters the contemplation, the teacher has pointed out the way for him - the path of enlightenment, a small success, and the death of eight hundred years old. It's just that the monkey's head is biased. If you want to be a cultivator... I'm afraid it's also determined by your heart and destiny, but coming here three hundred years ago has added some variables to the fate of heaven and earth.\

,"After saying this, Subhuti picked up a white stone.

"Snapped!"

After putting it aside, he raised his head and gently stroked his long beard, with a smile on his face.

Qingfengzi glanced at the chessboard with wide eyes for a long time, then Fang cupped his hands and sighed: "After all, I am not as good as the master."

Subhuti chuckled softly: "Although the enlightened person's path is not as powerful as the practitioner's path, it rarely suffers from damage, and most of them end up dead. It boils down to the word 'calculation'. Just like a chessboard game, you need to be forewarned and take precautions before you can win. The Tao. The person who is best at this Tao in the world must be the Taoist Patriarch, Taishang Laojun."

"Isn't the master only one step away from the way of heaven? When it comes to the word 'calculation', the master may not be inferior to the supreme master." Qingfengzi complimented.

"A slight difference is a thousand miles lost." Subhuti waved his hands gently, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the rolling clouds in the moonlight in the sky, and said with a smile: "The Supreme Being has already cultivated the way of heaven, Wuwei, and is as high as thirty. Although the Tushita Palace in the Third Heaven only handles religious matters and ignores political affairs, few things in the world can escape his eyes. How can I compare? However, if Wukong, who had practiced Taoism three hundred years earlier, After leaving the mountain, I don’t know if he can still make it through.”

As soon as these words were spoken, a thunderbolt pierced the sky, reflecting Subhuti's old face.

"When there are storms and storms, the sky and the earth will create the sun again. Hahahaha."

Hearty laughter echoed in the wind.

Qingfengzi bowed deeply.

…

Above the ninth level of the sky, Taishang Laojun suddenly opened his eyes, frowned, and suddenly dug his ten fingers into his flesh.

A drop of blood slowly seeped out from the corner of his mouth.

The Taoist boy in purple hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master, why are you doing this?"

"Click -" a crisp sound.

Taishang Laojun slowly turned his head, his eyes widened in fear.

An imperceptible crack has appeared on the huge black rock floating in the air and emitting countless phantoms of words.

The Supreme Being's wrinkled eyes narrowed into slits, and he hesitated: "The heavens suddenly cracked. Who has such ability?"

…

In the midst of the storm, Subhuti stood facing the wind with a smile on his face.
