The Way of Rebirth

The warm sea breeze blows over Penglai Island, stirring the fairy tree jungle on the island, making the sound of "sasha", floating leaves falling to the ground, spiritual birds foraging on the trees, and cranes roaming in the jungle.

, a head suddenly appeared in the ground not far away. He looked at the fruit forest in front of him and smiled slightly. Then the head disappeared, as if it had never appeared. When he looked again, he saw a frightened bird suddenly fluttering its wings in the jungle.

Flying in the distance, when I looked closely, I saw a monkey wearing ordinary Taoist robes sitting on a tree and eating fruits.

The monkey finished eating the fruit in his hand, but then disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already under the Daofao Peak. Looking at the majestic DaDaFeng in front of him, the monkey finally let go of all the carelessness and mischief in his body.

Go, leaving behind a sense of awe and respect. After tidying up his clothes, the monkey began to get into shape, began to practice the exercises, and then slowly walked up the stairs, sometimes following the steps of the exercises.

Xiang walked back a few steps and then came back again. After practicing for about three hours, Stone Monkey finally came to the central square of Daofeng out of breath. He then sat on the futon in the square and opened himself up from inside the Daofao Hall.

After reading the "Yet Another Mysterious Skill" he brought in carefully, he found that Monkey's understanding was very good. Although he had not touched Taoism for a long time, he could clearly realize that this Another Mysterious Skill was not suitable for him to practice now.

Therefore, Shihou'er decided to learn the exercises thoroughly first, and then look into the practice when there is an opportunity in the future.

Just when the stone monkey was concentrating on reading the bamboo scroll, suddenly a ray of auspicious light shone, and the figure of Kong Xuan appeared. The stone monkey was frightened when he saw this, and hurriedly hid the bamboo scroll behind him, and bowed down:

"Disciple, I wish you all the best." Shi Hou'er lowered his head and waited for the teacher to explain the Taoism. However, the teacher did not speak for a long time. Shi Hou'er felt quite strange. When he looked up, he saw that the teacher had closed his eyes.

"Teacher?" Shi Hou'er shouted in a low voice. Seeing that the teacher had no response, Shi Hou'er shouted again, "Teacher? Teacher? I have been waiting for the teacher to preach for a long time. Teacher?" After shouting for a long time, Shi Hou'er felt strange.

, when he was about to get up to investigate, he saw the teacher's eyes moving slightly.

"Teacher, are you awake?" Shi Hou'er was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately said with a smile, "I have been waiting here for a long time for the teacher's sermon."

"Stone Monkey, how many years have you been on this island?" Kong Xuan opened his eyes and asked the Stone Monkey who was sitting on the futon below and looking at him.

"Teacher, I have been studying Taoism with the teacher for three years." Shihou'er had doubts when he heard this, but when the teacher asked, he immediately answered, "The disciple has been taught by the teacher, and now he has a clear understanding of the Taoism.

Please also ask the teacher to continue teaching the disciples the Taoism."

"I taught you the Penglai Five Elements Escape Technique. How is your practice going?" Kong Xuan's brows moved slightly when he heard this, but he asked Shihou'er.

"The teacher taught the disciple the Five Elements Escape Technique. The disciple practiced day and night. Now he is very skilled in using it. The transformation between the five elements can also be performed freely." Shihou'er heard the words and replied with a smile, and then stood up.

"If the teacher doesn't believe it, the disciple can show it in front of the teacher." After saying this, he wanted to use his magic power to perform the escape technique.

"No need, Shihou'er taught you the Five Elements Escape Technique as a teacher. It is different from others. If you are asked about your performance in the future, be sure not to say that you learned it in Penglai Island, otherwise a great disaster will come.

"At that time, the teacher and you will no longer have the relationship of master and disciple." Kong Xuan said aloud, and then sighed, "The only Taoist technique that my teacher can teach you is the Five Elements Escape Technique, and you have no relationship with the others.

"Dharma, Teacher has fulfilled his responsibilities as a teacher. After today, your relationship with me has been exhausted, and everything that a teacher can teach you has been taught. It's time for you to leave."

"Master, what are you talking about? Could it be that the disciple did something wrong that made the teacher angry, and asked the teacher to take back his life? The disciple has never hidden evil intentions, nor has he been indifferent to the teacher. How can the teacher send the disciple away?" Shi Hou'er heard.

Yan's face changed greatly, he kowtowed hurriedly and shouted, and after a long time he took out the bamboo scroll from behind, "I found this Taoist book in the Taoist Hall, but I have never practiced it. Could it be that this move made the teacher angry? Disciple

This returns the Tao Dharma to the teacher, and asks the teacher not to drive the disciples away”….

"Alas, Stone Monkey, I don't want to drive you away, but the relationship between you and me has ended. The skills in this bamboo scroll should not be taught to you, but that person can follow me.

I heard the Tao from my master and understood the laws of heaven. My master, Xiaoyao Sanren, gave me permission to give you this skill to read. I think you will have the chance to practice this skill in the future. I will take the bamboo scroll back to you and memorize as many of the skills in it as you can.

Stay tuned, the Dharma will be destined for you in the future. Remember not to teach the Dharma to others easily, otherwise your master will get angry, and even your master may not be able to protect you. You have come here to practice in Penglai for three years, this is your chance.

, Now that the fate has been exhausted, it’s time to leave. From now on, you can go straight to the west. A famous teacher will teach you the Taoism. Your teacher has already taught you the method of enlightenment. You can combine the two for your own use, and you will have great fortune.

"After saying that, Kong Xuan closed his eyes.

"Teacher, teacher, don't drive this disciple away." The stone monkey just kept kowtowing. Kong Xuan couldn't bear it anymore. He sighed and waved his sleeves, and sent the stone monkey to the outside of the island. There was a raft staying on the sea.

There were many fresh fruits and melons on the raft, but Kong Xuan secretly used his magic power to send them there.

"Don't be too stubborn and selfish. Remember that everything is predestined. If you are so nostalgic for Penglai Island, how can you live happily in the world?" Stone Monkey kneeled on the raft and suddenly heard Kong Xuan's words in his ears.

, Stone Monkey'er was shocked when he heard the words, then he raised his head to look at Penglai Xiandao, kowtowed three times with tears in his eyes for a long time, and shouted loudly: "Disciple understands, I bid farewell to the teacher, and I also wish the teacher good luck. I wish you good luck in the future."

I will come back from the statutory meeting to pay my respects to Teacher Wan'an." After saying this, Stone Monkey stood up, took the oar in his hand and started to paddle towards the west.

"Remember, remember not to mention Penglai Immortal Island, otherwise there will be a great disaster." Just as Shihouer turned around and rowed away, Kong Xuan's words came to his ears again. Hearing this, Shihouer looked back and gradually

As they walked further and further away from the Fairy Island, they looked up to the sky and roared loudly, then looked firmly ahead and rocked the raft.

After about three months, Shihouer rowed a raft and was blown by the southeast sea wind to the border of Nanfangbuzhou. He found a shallow water beach and dropped the raft on the shore. He saw something on the shore.

The crowds were surging, and there seemed to be humans living here. The stone monkey had been educated by Confucius on Penglai Island, could speak human language, and knew the familiarity of human beings, so he found a fish seller and asked: "This brother, but

I wonder if there seems to be an immortal living in seclusion here?"

"Why do immortals live here? They are all ordinary people. Are you fooled by legends and want to cultivate immortality and learn the art of immortality?" The big fish seller turned around and said with a smile. His face changed slightly when he saw the appearance of a stone monkey.

, then his hands without trace began to clean up the stall. Although Stone Houer practiced Taoism on Penglai Immortal Island, Kong Xuan never taught the art of transformation. This was strictly prohibited by Wu Chuandao. As for "Another Mysterious Technique", it was

Because Wu Chuandao saw that Shihou'er had such a good opportunity, he specifically promised Kong Xuan to secretly grant Shihou'er enlightenment, but he could not teach it to him. He had to practice it on his own. This is why Stonehou'er was not allowed to change his spells.

However, Stone Hou'er has a clever personality after all. Seeing this big man's appearance, he didn't know that his strange appearance might have frightened him, so he turned around and walked towards the raft. At this time, Stone Hou'er was still wearing the Taoist robes from Penglai Island, so he didn't know what he was doing.

As for the rather ferocious and strange appearance, the Stone Monkey looked back at the mountains not far away, shook his head and sighed, then rowed the raft and continued westward. For two or three years, the Stone Monkey often descended along the coast.

The raft came to the residence of the human race to search for the immortals' way, but in the end they could not find the secluded place of the immortals. Stone Monkey also learned some tricks from the human race. After several years of wind and waves, the raft was already in pieces. Stone Monkey

The son then found some strong wood and tied it into a raft, and went west again to search...

On this day, the stone monkey rowed the raft to a shore. When he raised his head, he saw a majestic mountain coming into view. The stone monkey saw auspicious clouds floating on the mountain. He thought that there must be a reclusive deity in the mountain, so he immediately put the raft on the shore.

Stopping at a place, he came to the front of the mountain alone. He saw that the mountain in front of him was really beautiful, and the deep forest foothills contained a lot of mysteries. The stone monkey was overjoyed and started walking towards the mountain.

When the stone monkey was born, he lived with tigers and leopards on the Huaguo Mountain. He was very courageous and was not afraid of the dangers of tigers and wolves. What's more, he had practiced martial arts for three years in Penglai. Although he didn't learn any powerful spells, he was recognized by Kong.

Xuan secretly taught the Five Elements Taoist skills. You must know that Wu Chuandao taught all the Five Elements Taoist skills to Penglai's disciples. It was a very powerful magic. In the past, Zhang Kui of Mianchi County only learned the earth escape technique, and he troubled Jiang Ziya and others for a long time.

On that day, even Yang Jian and others were helpless, which gave a first glimpse of their strength. Now that Stone Monkey has learned all the five elements of escape, how can he still be afraid of those tigers, leopards and wolves?

Just like this, the Stone Monkey was searching in the mountains with the heart of seeking the truth, and at the same time he was constantly looking at the beauty of the mountains. He secretly compared it with Penglai, but found that the beauty of Penglai Fairy Island was much more beautiful than here, but

The scenery here is no different from ordinary mountains. How beautiful it is. There are poems to prove it: Thousands of peaks are lined with halberds, and tens of thousands of people are spread out. The sun reflects the mist and lightly locks the green, the rain is dark and cold and contains green. Withered vines entwine the old trees.

, the ancient crossing of the border is a quiet journey. The rare flowers and auspicious grasses are cultivated with bamboos and pine trees. The bamboos and pine trees are cultivated with everlasting green for thousands of years to despise the blessed land. The rare flowers and auspicious grasses are not withered at all times. The cries of the secluded birds are close, and the sound of the springs flows away.

Qing Dynasty. There are many valleys surrounded by orchids, and moss grows on the cliffs everywhere. The undulating mountains have good dragon veins, and there must be an expert who hides his name.

Just when Stone Monkey was looking at the beautiful scenery in the mountains, the sound of footsteps suddenly came to his ears. When he looked up, he saw a woodcutter coming to sing a song. Stone Monkey was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to stop the woodcutter, saluted and asked: "

"Brother, I am here to salute you." After saying this, the inspector bowed and saluted, and then said: "The little Daoist has been searching thousands of mountains and rivers, hoping to find an expert to be his disciple. Today, I am destined to come here to meet my brother.

The platform comes from the mountain, may I ask if there are gods living in seclusion in this mountain?"

"Immortal?" The woodcutter lowered his head and thought for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said, "There is indeed an immortal living in seclusion in this mountain, just on the top of the mountain. The name of this mountain is Hualingtai Fangcun Mountain. You can see it only a few miles walking along this road.

There must be a cave, called Xie Yue Sanxing Cave, and there is a god in the cave named Bodhi Patriarch, who can be called a god." After saying this, the woodcutter continued to sing and left.

"It turns out there really are gods here." Stone Monkey was overjoyed when he heard this, and then he set off and ran to the mountain. After a lot of hardships, Stone Monkey was finally accepted by Patriarch Bodhi as his disciple, and taught him a lesson in another sermon.

The stone monkey secretly enlightened the stone monkey and secretly taught him the art of immortality. However, what Bodhi Patriarch taught was the Western method of protecting the body and mind, which contained a lot of moral meaning. The stone monkey did not have the opportunity, so forcing it to practice would have serious consequences, so

Patriarch Bodhi also taught the Eight-Nine Mysterious Kung Fu and the Stone Monkey, and also taught the Stone Monkey the art of soaring into the clouds and riding the mist.

Seven years later, Shihou'er was practicing quietly in the cave. He had become quite proficient in the Eight-nine Mysterious Techniques and had reached the fifth level. This was another mysterious secret that Shihou'er had once comprehended.

, so he is much more proficient in cultivation than others. Stone Monkey listened to the teachings and teachings of the Bodhi Patriarch in the Xianyue Sanxing Cave. As expected, he found that what the Bodhi Patriarch taught was mostly Taoism and few Taoism explanations.

Therefore, Shihou'er had to meditate on the Taoist teachings that Kong Xuan explained during his training in Penglai. By combining the two, his cultivation level took off like a rocket. Now he has touched the realm of the early Da Luo Jinxian.

On this day, Stone Monkey was performing Eight-nine Mysterious Skills for all the fellow disciples on the square. He was noticed by Patriarch Bodhi, and after being scolded by Patriarch Bodhi, he was expelled from his master's school. He rode the clouds back to Huaguo Mountain.

After a fight, he defeated the demon king who occupied the cave and regained the Water Curtain Cave in Huaguo Mountain. For the safety of the monkeys, the Stone Monkey used magic to seize the weapons from the human arsenal and taught the monkeys to practice.

.….

Just when the Stone Monkey was lazily lying on the boulder to rest, a little monkey ran over in a panic and shook the Stone Monkey awake and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it's a disaster, it's a disaster. They occupied our cave a few days ago.

Some kind of demon king has invited a burly monster from somewhere and is coming here. He says he wants to seek revenge on the king, what should we do?"

"Why are you panicking?" Shihou'er was shaken awake by the little monkey. Hearing the little monkey's words, Shihou'er stood up angrily, swung the big knife he had snatched from the Demon King, and pointed it at the people who were practicing below.

The monkey shouted: "Young children, follow me to meet the enemy. You must let those monsters know that I, the Monkey King of Huaguoshan, am not that easy to bully."

"Long live the king, long live the king." When the monkeys heard the words of the stone monkey, they all cheered up, raised their weapons high, and shouted loudly. Then, led by the stone monkey, they went to the foot of the Huaguo Mountain and found a

Ambushes were prepared everywhere, and the Stone Monkey was standing on a tree looking at the demons that were rushing towards the mountains. The one who took the head was tall and tall, with horns on his head. It was obvious that he was the incarnation of a bull demon, and he exuded danger.

Shi Hou'er saw that the man's face suddenly became quite solemn, but Shi Hou'er's current cultivation level revealed that the Niu Tou was the most dangerous opponent he faced. It could be seen that although the Niu Tou looked

He seemed reckless and irritable, but his strength seemed to be higher than his own. Looking next to him was the Demon King who had been severely beaten by him yesterday. At this time, he seemed very well-behaved in front of the bull head, and he seemed to be quite attentive along the way.

Just when Stone Monkey was looking at Niu Tou, Niu Tou seemed to have a feeling and raised his head to look at Stone Monkey's position. Their eyes collided in the air, creating fierce sparks. When Shi Monkey saw this, his heart moved.

Knowing that he had an ambush, he was afraid that he would not be able to hide it from the bull head. If he missed it, he would be afraid that the lives of his monkeys would be in danger. He immediately rode on the auspicious clouds and went straight towards the group of people with a big sword.

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to hide anything from you. I have found a good cave here. I originally wanted to find the king to come to the banquet today, but I didn't expect that there was a monkey-faced monster yesterday, saying that I was occupying the cave.

The little one was angry and fought with him, but because he was not as good as others, he took away his weapon. So he had no choice but to ask the king to come to rescue him. The king should make the decision for the little one," said the Demon King, wiping his tears in front of the bull head.

The Minotaur didn't answer when he heard the words, and walked straight forward. The Demon King looked up and saw that the Minotaur was already far away from him, and hurriedly followed him, "Your Majesty..." He was about to speak, but was knocked aside by the Minotaur.

Just when Demon King Hunshi was surprised, he saw a flash of light, and a huge wrinkle appeared on the ground where he was standing before. When he looked closely, he saw a big sword passing by, which was his own treasured sword.

"Are you the king of this Huaguo Mountain?" The tauren looked at the stone monkey holding a machete not far away and asked, "The method is indeed good, but it is worse than me, Lao Niu. If you practice more,

In a few years, you may be Lao Niu's opponent, but now I'm afraid that Lao Niu can kill you with just one punch." After saying that, the tauren held his right hand with his left hand, rotated it with his right hand, and then punched the stone monkey's body.

Just when the tauren's fist was about to hit the stone monkey, the fist suddenly expanded hundreds of times, turning into a huge fist mountain and pressing down on the stone monkey. This giant fist enveloped the sky above the stone monkey, and it was completely

There was nowhere to escape, and the Minotaur's fists became as hard as steel at this moment, making it impossible to break through from the front. The Minotaur was also very confident in this move of his, which showed that Stone Monkey's heels were very qualified.

, at this time, they just wanted to test him, and there was no real killing blow. As for his own subordinate, the Demon King, the Minotaur knew his details. He failed to succeed but failed, so he couldn't believe his words at all.

But just when the tauren was confidently preparing to close his fist, the tauren's expression changed, and then he frowned. After a long time, he narrowed his fist and retracted it, only to find that the stone monkey had disappeared. The tauren looked up.

He looked around, then his face lit up and he laughed loudly, "You monkey really has some tricks, but you can deceive others with this trick, but you may not be able to deceive Lao Niu."
