Umbrella Travel to the Heavens

The old monkey came to the depths of Huaguo Mountain, waved his hand, and a fierce black air rolled out.

The old monkey looked at it for a moment, and with a finger point, the black air condensed together, forming a vague appearance, which was different from before, and seemed to be born with wisdom.

The ferocious black air has just been born with intelligence, and he is curious about everything around him, but unlike the stone monkey back then, his curiosity is full of a desire to destroy everything, rushing left and right.

The green trees were broken and fell to the ground, and the ground was knocked out by the black air, and the green wild forest, which was originally a good place, was ravaged by it.

Not long after, the ferocious black energy focused on the old monkey and charged towards him through the air.

Seeing that the old monkey was about to break a tendon and bone, and his life was not long, the old monkey waved his backhand, and a golden light was pulled out like a whip, hitting the billowing black air.

The black air was almost smashed by the old monkey's golden light. It seemed that he had been severely injured. He felt a little afraid of the old monkey.

The old monkey wasn't annoyed, instead he seemed satisfied with Hei Qi's appearance, nodded and disappeared.

After the stone monkey boarded the bamboo raft, it seemed that he was lucky. For several days, the southeast wind blew him all the way to Nanbubuzhou.

Near the sea, some fishermen and women were fishing, panning for salt, and digging for clams. The stone monkey stepped forward, raised its arms, and yelled loudly, scaring those people away from their baskets and nets, and ran in all directions.

The stone monkey's eyes rolled, its eyes were quick and its hands were quick, it caught up with a slow runner, dragged him down, stripped off his clothes, put it on, imitated human walking, swayed, and walked towards the fishing village.

When the stone monkey was still in Huaguo Mountain, it was called the Monkey King by the group of monkeys, but it also looked half-human, but from the perspective of human eyes, it was actually an ugly and thin monster.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have happened. He raised his arm and let out a strange roar, which could scare three or four thick fishermen so that they didn't even want to use their nets.

The strange thing is that since the stone monkey put on clothes and entered the fishing village, it didn't scare anyone anymore. Instead, several people from the fishing village came up to him and asked him where he came from, and they treated him very well. Close to warm.

In the world of mortals, the stone monkey learns human speech and etiquette, walks the streets and alleys all day long, travels through mountains and forests, and keeps on walking, thinking of finding true immortals and learning the art of immortality.

It took him years to cross the southern continent and reach the western sea.

The stone monkey recalled his journey along the way,

The people I saw were all focused on fame and fortune, but I didn't find a real immortal, and I didn't even meet anyone who yearned for the Dao like him.

The stone monkey shook his head, thinking of looking for immortals overseas, this time he made a raft and sailed across the West Sea to Hezhou, Xiniu.

Two or three years later, on this day, the stone monkey walking in the field suddenly saw a beautiful mountain, and when he walked to a quiet place deep in the forest, he heard a singing.

"Watching chess and cutting lumber, walking slowly at the mouth of the valley by the clouds, selling salaries and selling wine, laughing wildly from pottery, the path is high in autumn, facing the moon and resting on pine roots, and it is dawn. Recognize the old forest, climb the cliff and cross the ridge, and break it with an axe. Dry vine."

"Collected into a load, in the song market, Yimi is worth three liters, and there is no self-competition, the price is mediocre, no clever calculations, no honor or disgrace, calm and prolong life, where you meet, you are either immortal or Tao, sit quietly and talk about Huang Ting .”

The stone monkey listened to this verse, it was about cutting wood and selling it for money, such a vulgar thing, but there was a chic and comfortable feeling everywhere.

Especially after hearing the second half of the verse, the stone monkey was even more delighted and hurried to find it.

In the depths of the forest is a woodcutter in commoner clothes and straw sandals, chopping down a dead tree with an axe after another.

Before the stone monkey walked in, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Old Immortal, Old Immortal, this disciple is being polite!"

The woodcutter almost dropped his ax on the ground as if he was startled by the stone monkey's words, turned around and said, "Don't dare to talk nonsense, don't dare to talk nonsense, how can I, a rough man with incomplete clothes, be called a god."

The stone monkey said again: "I heard you sing just now, "Where we meet is either immortal or Taoist, sit quietly and talk about the Yellow Court".

The woodcutter said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, the name of the word is Man Ting Fang, which was taught to me by a god. The god is next to me. He saw that my housework was hard and I had a lot of troubles, so he taught me to worry more." At the time, I just recited this word, one to relax, and the other to relieve fatigue. I just sang it again when I was tired from logging, and I don’t want to be misunderstood by you.”

The Monkey King felt rather strange: "It is a great fortune for you to be a neighbor of a god. If so, why don't you practice with him and learn the art of immortality. Wouldn't it be wonderful."

He has traveled all the way, after more than ten years, searching for immortals and Taoism, but he couldn't find it.

As a result, this woodcutter has always been a neighbor of the gods, and the avenue of longevity is at his fingertips, but he did not follow the gods to practice. Instead, he fell wood here. What kind of idea is this?

The woodcutter shook his head and said: "My life is bitter, I am stupid by nature, and I was only sensible when I was young. Thanks to my parents, they didn't think I was stupid and abandoned me, and they worked hard to bring me up. A few years ago, my father died unfortunately, and my mother was left alone. .There are no brothers or sisters in the family. I want to cut wood for money to support my old mother. I dare not leave for a moment. So I can’t go to practice.”

The stone monkey's tone was rather admirable: "As you say, you are really a filial person, and you will be blessed in the future. I hope you can point me to the place of the gods, so that I can visit and learn."

The woodcutter stretched out his hand and pointed horizontally: "Not far, not far. The name of this mountain is Lingtai Fangcun Mountain. In the mountain there is a slanting moon and three stars cave. In that cave is a fairy named Patriarch Bodhi. Hey, there are still three or four people practicing with him. Just follow that path and go south for seven or eight miles, and that’s it.”

The Monkey King grabbed the woodcutter and said, "Brother, I also hope that you can go with me. If I can worship the gods, I will never forget your kindness in guiding me."

Unexpectedly, the woodcutter broke away from the stone monkey and was a little unhappy: "You man, you don't know how to change things. I have already told you in detail just now, don't you know? If I walk with you for a distance of seven or eight miles If I go, won’t it delay my logging. If I can’t exchange money, how can I support my mother? I still have to cut down trees, so go by yourself.”

The stone monkey was quite surprised, as if it was the first time someone spoke impatiently.

Seeing that the woodcutter started to cut down the tree again, the stone monkey had no choice but to go out of the deep forest alone, find the path the woodcutter said, and walk south along the path.

At this time, on a bluestone three hundred miles away, Li Xiu opened his eyes with a strange expression on his face.

In the past ten years, since Sun Wukong went to sea, he followed him from afar, using the six-eared supernatural power he had awakened not long ago, to monitor him, and found many clues.
