Chapter 9 Seven Years
Yang Zhen’s life in Fangcun Mountain is really worry-free. He either practices in the room or wanders around the mountains every day. Subhuti Patriarch opens an oath every two months to preach. Yang Zhen listens very seriously every time he preaches. With the effect of the double experience pill, Yang Zhen’s cultivation has grown very rapidly.
As the saying goes, there is no Jiazi in the mountains. Seven years passed in a flash. In seven years, Yang Zhen’s cultivation reached the tenth level of Earth Immortals. It was only one step away from that of the disciples of the Subhuti Patriarch, his cultivation was second only to Sun Wukong, and even more than those senior brothers and sisters. Although Yang Zhen’s cultivation grew very fast, he was much slower than Sun Wukong. Now Sun Wukong has reached the sixth level of True Immortals. Looking at the entire Three Realms, although he is still far from the first-class masters, he is definitely at the upper level.
However, in recent times, Yang Zhen has obviously felt that Sun Wukong's cultivation has slowed down. I am afraid that after a while, the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth that Sun Wukong had accumulated before will be consumed, and then it will be the time for Yang Zhen to catch up.
Since the incident seven years ago, the relationship between Yang Zhen and Sun Wukong has improved a lot. According to Sun Wukong, it is that Yang Zhen is his life-saving benefactor. If Yang Zhen hadn't arrived in time, he would have been afraid that Sun Wukong would not have seen the sun the next day. Of course, Yang Zhen also understood that even if he did not save Sun Wukong, Subhuti Patriarch would not have let Sun Wukong get into trouble.
In short, after that incident, Sun Wukong regarded Yang Zhen as his brother, and Yang Zhen was happy that way, and he often exchanged feelings with Sun Wukong.
Today, it is the day for Patriarch Subhuti to preach again. This time, when he listened to the sermon, Sun Wukong seemed to be a demon. Not only did he scratch his ears and foreheads, but he also danced and roamed everywhere. The disturbed disciples could not listen to the sermons with peace of mind, and they frowned and scolded Sun Wukong.
Seeing this, Patriarch Subhuti stopped to preach and asked Sun Wukong: "Why are you dancing wildly in the class and not listening to my preaching with peace of mind?"
When Sun Wukong heard this, he replied, "I listened sincerely, but when I heard the teacher talk about the wonderful things, I was so happy that I didn't realize that I was excited and hoped that Master would forgive me for my sins."
After hearing this, Patriarch Subhuti asked, "Since you know the wonderful sound, I will ask you, how long have you been in the cave?"
Sun Wukong said, "I have always been ignorant, and I don't know how many times I know. I only remember that there is no fire under the stove. I often go to the back of the mountain to collect firewood. I saw a good fruit tree. I ate there seven times."
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Subhuti nodded and smiled, "Since you have eaten seven times, that's seven years. What kind of Taoism do you want to learn from me today?"
After hearing the words of Patriarch Subhuti, Sun Wukong was immediately overjoyed and said, "But rely on the teacher's teachings."
Although Sun Wukong said, "But rely on the teacher's teachings, it is obvious that Sun Wukong wanted to learn the art of immortality. Subhuti Patriarch said several methods in a row, but Sun Wukong said he would not learn it. Subhuti Patriarch refused by Sun Wukong several times in a row, and seemed a little annoyed. He 'hard', jumped off the platform, held the ruler, pointed at Sun Wukong and said, "You don't learn this, you don't learn it, then what do you want to learn?"
After saying that, Patriarch Subhuti walked forward, hit Sun Wukong three times, then walked into the inside with his hands behind his back, closed the middle gate, and left the disciples behind.
Yang Zhen sat at the end of the disciples, and when he saw this classic scene, he was stunned. From now on, Patriarch Subhuti will be about to open a small kitchen for Sun Wukong, which is also the beginning of Sun Wukong's real awesomeness. Looking at Sun Wukong with joy in his eyes in front of him, Yang Zhen can be said to be extremely jealous. Sun Wukong is really lucky. Although he is not as hard as me in his daily practice, he practices for a thousand miles a day because of his feet. Now he is favored by Patriarch Subhuti. He has taught him his magical skills alone, and he is also a disciple. How can he get such a big difference in treatment?
"It's all this dead monkey. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that Patriarch Subhuti would have passed on your secret magic skills alone."
Suddenly, a sound full of ** sound rang in Yang Zhen's mind. As soon as the sound came out, Yang Zhen suddenly woke up. Then the magic power in his body activated, stabilized his mind and killed the rising inner demon.
Huh! It's really dangerous. I didn't expect that the inner demon would be born like this. If my will was not firm and I had listened to the teachings of the Subhuti Patriarch for seven years, I might have taken advantage of the situation by the inner demon.
Yang Zhen was very happy to eliminate the inner demons. Sun Wukong was surrounded by the disciples of the Patriarch Subhuti. The senior brother pointed at Sun Wukong and scolded: "You are so unreasonable! Master wants to preach you, why don't you learn it, and you still have to talk back to Master? This time I bumped into Master, and I have to wait for two months before I can listen to Master's preaching."
The other disciples also complained to Sun Wukong, and they all blamed Sun Wukong for not being wrong. However, Sun Wukong was not angry at all, but smiled with his face.
Because Sun Wukong had seen through the mystery that the Patriarch Subhuti fought when he left, he did not argue with everyone. Anyway, he had already gained benefits, so it would be okay if they could say a few words. It turned out that Patriarch Subhuti beat Sun Wukong three times, which was actually to teach Sun Wukong to be intentional at the third update. He walked in with his hands behind his back, and closed the middle door, so that Sun Wukong came in through the back door and passed on the Taoist Dharma of Sun Wukong in the secret place.
The technique that can make the Patriarch Subhuti secretly preach is definitely the unique skill that Patriarch Subhuti has been in the box, so Sun Wukong was so happy that he smiled all day long.
As for Yang Zhen, after he extinguished the small fire of jealousy in his heart, he had already seen it completely. This was Sun Wukong's opportunity. It was already a great opportunity to be worshipped by the Patriarch Subhuti. If he was not greedy, he was afraid that God would not be able to bear it.
As for the idea of "following Sun Wukong to learn secretly, or cheating Sun Wukong to teach him", Yang Zhen never thought that if Patriarch Subhuti discovered him, it would be difficult to explain. Being driven out of the sect is considered light, and if his cultivation is abolished, it would be no more than a loss. Yang Zhen always believed that the reason why Patriarch Subhuti was able to accept himself as his disciple was mostly because of his and Sun Wukong's apprenticeship. Otherwise, with Patriarch Subhuti's practice, how could he fall in love with a monster like himself?
Influenced by the conspiracy theory of Journey to the West in previous life, Yang Zhen always felt that Subhuti had planned to accept Sun Wukong as his disciple, and Subhuti Patriarch was more likely to be the clone of the saint Cunti. Although it was just a clone, it was the clone of the saint. Therefore, Yang Zhen not only showed great respect for Subhuti Patriarch, but also had deep fear in his heart.
