The Monkey King

  The stone paperweight hit his forehead, and it smashed red.

   "You are calculating, you are calculating!" Subhuti glared at Ling Yunzi, and didn't say a word for a while.

   As time passed, the hall was silent, and the whole atmosphere became extremely depressing.

  Ling Yunzi slowly clenched his fists, slowly raised his head, looked directly at Subhuti, his face was indifferent, and there was no laughter at all.

   Seeing this, Subhuti was astonished.

   I just heard Ling Yunzi say lightly: "The reason why Yang Jian was able to defeat Tianting was because Taishang didn't make a move. After that, Yang Jian surrendered again, before and after his dismissal. The answer to this mystery has long been revealed. The apprentice doesn't even know it."

   "I know, why did you still accept that Yang Chan as a disciple?" Subhuti asked.

  I saw Ling Yunzi staring into Subhuti's eyes, and he asked in a leisurely manner, "I know, why did the master accept that monkey head as his disciple?"

  Subhuti's expression stiffened, and he said coldly, "How can these two be generalized?"

  Ling Yunzi asked back, "Why not?"

   After saying that, he smiled lightly, raised his head, and his eyes wandered on the roof beam. There was a rare helplessness in his eyes.

"It's not that I can't count, but I don't want to count. It's a blessing or a disaster, it's a disaster that can't be avoided. How can a little immortal like me break through the pressure of the heavens. Divination is nothing more than seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. It’s just that the way of heaven is irreversible. If everything is considered too clear, there will be no more surprises. Cultivation of immortals is a long journey, if there are no surprises, wouldn’t it be a pity?”

   With his hands spread out, Ling Yunzi looks like a rogue who will be slaughtered by you.

Subhuti stared at Ling Yunzi for a long time, stroked his long beard, and sighed helplessly: "Yang Jian's heart is dead, but Yang Chan's heart is not dead. I'm afraid that I will cause some trouble in the future. It is good for the teacher not to communicate with the Yang Jian brother and sister. According to the teacher's consideration, now it's better for you to accept it as an apprentice. Make trouble for me!"

   After saying that, he laughed helplessly again.

  The nine sons of Lingtai all look like Subhuti, but each of these nine sons has one place and each has its own strengths.

   These eight apprentices, Ling Yunzi, were always astonishing in their words and hit the key points. They were the ones who understood Subhuti’s original heart the most, and among the nine disciples of Lingtai, he was most favored by Subhuti. It's just that the bohemian behavior style is reckless.

  The corners of Ling Yunzi's mouth were slightly raised, and he hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands: "In the future, I will ask the master to take care of my new female disciple."

   An hour later, Ling Yunzi pushed open the hall door and walked out, but Yang Chan was still standing outside the hall.

   "Let's go, I will arrange a residence for you, and then you will practice in the view." Ling Yunzi said.

   When Yang Chan heard this, she stared at Ling Yunzi and frowned slightly.

   "You don't need to see the master?"

   "You will have a chance in the future, and the old man will speak when he wants to see you."

  That Ling Yunzi didn't care about Yang Chan's doubts, he pulled her away and muttered, "If the master doesn't accept the ten junior brothers this time, I really dare not accept you."

   Yang Chan snorted coldly at this, and seemed to be very disdainful of being accepted by him as his apprentice, but he kept looking at Subhuti's temple gate, as if in awe.

   Unlike the senior brother Qingfengzi, who has few disciples, this eighth senior brother Ling Yunzi has many disciples, but they are all collected halfway through, and often they have learned something before entering the school.

   Maybe it was because of the many monsters among his apprentices. After all, there are some barriers between human and monsters. He built his own Taoist temple, Lingyun Pavilion, in Lingyun Peak, thousands of miles away. So there is the saying "Lingyun Pavilion on Lingyun Peak, Ling Yunzi in Lingyun Pavilion". He himself was very proud of this, and even invited calligraphy masters in the world to write an inscription, which was passed down as a beautiful talk.

   In Lingyun Pavilion, Ling Yunzi often feasts on guests, and there are no shortage of guests, three religions, nine streams, three realms and six paths. Speaking of which, he is also a person with hands and eyes.

  Because he didn't have half of his disciples living in the temple, Ling Yunzi had to run errands himself to arrange for Yang Chan's future needs. Fortunately, those Taoists who were embarrassed did not have the courage to embarrass Ling Yunzi, and the journey was smooth.

   In the evening, Ling Yunzi knocked on the monkey's door again.

   As soon as the monkey opened the door, before he could react, Ling Yunzi put one hand on the monkey's shoulder.

   This surprised the monkey.

  The Tao of the enlightened person pays attention to the nature of the heart and is restrained, and it is rare to see such a shoulder-to-shoulder.

   "Isn't this kind of action usually done by practitioners?" Monkey thought.

   said casually, "Junior Brother Wukong hasn't eaten yet?" Regardless of the monkey's answer, Ling Yunzi turned his head and waved, and the three Taoists rushed into the room and set up a banquet on the table.

   It is said to be a banquet, but it is really a banquet - there is wine and meat.

   This made the corner of the monkey's mouth twitch violently.

   Although Taoist practitioners are not as taboo as Buddhist practitioners, they are not too big fish to eat meat.

  Monkey stared dumbfoundedly at the arrangement of the Taoist disciples and withdrew from the door. And it was only at this moment that Ling Yunzi took the monkey and walked into the house: "Brother Wukong, I heard that you have been here for ten years, and you have been kneeling outside the door for another year. , Senior Brother has to give you a good wash."

Being pressed by Ling Yunzi to sit on the couch, staring at the dishes on that table, and looking at the wine that Ling Yunzi had just poured, the monkey stammered and said: "This... Eighth Senior Brother, it seems that you don't eat alcohol and meat. "

  Ling Yunzi didn't answer, he rolled up his sleeves, reached out and grabbed a piece of pig's trotter and ate it, the smile at the corner of his mouth was faintly closed, and he raised his head intermittently to glance at the monkey.

   This attitude made the monkey a little embarrassed.

After a while, after nibbling on the pig's trotters and wiping the oil on his mouth, Ling Yunzi smiled and said, "The Guannei is only abstaining from alcohol, not alcohol. Stealing into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is forbidden, but Junior Brother Wukong is not taking it for granted. Go in? How can you be honest when you reach the Eighth Senior Brother?"

   After saying that, he grabbed another chicken leg and ate it on his own, but he kept his eyes fixed on the monkey, which seemed to be ridiculed.

   "That... Junior Brother, I, don't eat meat." After thinking for a long time, the monkey could only say this.

  Ling Yunzi slapped his head sharply and said, "I thought my junior and brother would not give face, hahahaha." He stretched out his hand, and the whole table of meat and vegetables suddenly disappeared and replaced with all kinds of fruits and vegetables.

   But the wine is still there.

   reached out and picked up the jug, filled two glasses of wine, and brought one to the monkey. Ling Yunzi asked meaningfully: "This wine, it doesn't happen that you don't drink it, right?"

   I have heard Feng Chi mention this Ling Yunzi before. According to Feng Chi, he is approachable, and his evaluation among Taoists is quite high, but he is a bit bohemian and cynical.

   But now the monkey suddenly has a feeling that these eight senior brothers are not as simple as they seem.

  Perhaps this person has many faces, and all I see on weekdays is just one of them.

   In comparison, Fifth Senior Brother Qing Yunzi is much simpler, with one face and one stinky face from beginning to end.

   pursed his lips, a smile slowly appeared on the monkey's face, and stretched out his hand to take the cup: "I haven't drunk the wine, but since the senior brother mentioned it, the junior brother will naturally not refuse."

   Seeing the monkey taking the cup, Ling Yunzi suddenly returned to his original smiling appearance: "That's right, come on, let's have a toast. For the first cup, I'll give you all the hard work and hard work!"

  Monkey carefully touched the glass with Ling Yunzi, and when he brought it to his lips, he deliberately smelled it, feeling that the wine was not a strong drink, so he drank it all in one go.

"Good! Good!" Ling Yunzi immediately gave a thumbs up, and he drank it all in one go, burped slowly, stretched out his hand to fill the monkey again, and said cheerfully, "These fellow apprentices, finally There is someone I can have a drink with. This second cup, I wish we meet each other too late!"

   After saying that, the cup was raised again.

  Monkey smiled embarrassedly, and had to follow it.

   I'm not afraid to drink a little wine, but the monkey is not used to Ling Yunzi's familiar appearance.

   He is not a very sociable person, and he has basically not communicated with people for more than ten years. How to get used to such an enthusiastic friend at once.

   At this moment, the wind chimes pushed the door and came in, holding the food for the monkeys in his hand.

   As soon as he entered the door and saw Ling Yunzi, he exclaimed in surprise, "Uncle Lingyun! Why are you here?"

   After finishing speaking, the wind chimes glanced at the wine bottle on the table, and the surprised look on his face instantly turned into anger.

   strode over and stretched out his hand, grabbed the wine glass from the monkey's hand, sniffed it, and frowned, "How can a cultivator drink wine?"

   looked at Ling Yunzi at once, pouted his mouth, and seemed to be angry, but it was inconvenient to scold him because of the identity of the other party's uncle.

Ling Yunzi looked at the appearance of the wind chimes, laughed dryly, and had to put down the cup and sighed: "This little wind chime is as pedantic as your master. The immortals seek longevity, if longevity is not happy, what is the use of longevity? "

The wind chimes pouted, leaned towards the monkey, took the monkey's hand and said, "The master said that the eighth uncle has the most delusions, just listen to it, if you believe it, you will learn it badly. "

  The monkey smiled unnaturally.

   "Hey, did your master really say that about me? But don't make it up by your little girl." Ling Yunzi patted the table lightly with one hand, and immediately stared at him. It's just that the young and immature appearance can't be scary no matter how angry you are.

  The wind chimes are also not afraid, and immediately stared back, and took the monkey's hand and said: "Monkey... No, Master Wukong, come, let's eat what I prepared for you."

   "What are you doing? Our brothers and sisters are going to have a chat at night, and what are you doing, little girl?"

   "I want you to take care of it!" Feng Chi raised his head and gave Ling Yunzi a look.

   Seeing this uncle and nephew bickering, the monkey really couldn't get in the way for a while.

  Ling Yunzi was about to fight back when suddenly there were hurried footsteps outside the door.

   A Taoist hurriedly pushed open the door and shouted, "Senior Uncle Lingyun, it's not good! Senior Sister Yang Chan and Senior Brother Yu Yi are fighting!"

   "What?!" Ling Yunzi's figure was crooked, and he fell off the bed.
