"Upon hearing this, the Monkey King resolved to become an apprentice, learn skills, break free from the cycle of reincarnation, and live as long as heaven and earth!"

"The next day, he set off to search for it. He didn't know how long it had been, whether it was a year, three years, or even longer, but finally, with the help of a woodcutter, the Monkey King found a fairy cave."

"Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxing Cave!"

"The immortal of Fangcun Mountain is named Bodhi Patriarch. He is proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. He is not an immortal from the Heavenly Court, but his realm is unfathomable."

“The Patriarch Bodhi had already foreseen that the Monkey King would come here, and he ordered the celestial boy to go and receive him.”

"At this moment, the Monkey King was overjoyed and hurriedly went to the door. However, before he could knock, Xian Tong had already opened the door and led the Monkey King inside."

"Before entering, the Monkey King straightened his clothes. As he followed Xian Tong inside, he saw layers of deep pavilions and magnificent buildings, one after another, he recognized the pearl palaces and shell palaces."

"Then they entered a quiet room, where the Monkey King saw the Jade Terrace. There sat the Bodhi Patriarch on the Jade Terrace, with thirty little immortals standing on either side."

"The Monkey King didn't stand on ceremony and immediately bowed to the master, calling him 'Master'."

Bodhi Patriarch said: "First tell me where you are from, what your name is, and then I will pay my respects."

The Monkey King said: "Disciple comes from the Water Curtain Cave of Flower and Fruit Mountain in the Eastern Continent of Victory. As for my name, disciple does not have one."

"When Bodhi Patriarch asked about his parents, the Monkey King replied that he was born from a celestial stone and had no parents."

"Upon hearing this, Patriarch Bodhi became interested. Seeing that the Monkey King was clever and intelligent, he named him."

"Sun Wukong!"

Chapter 81 Bodhi and Taiyi! Seventy-two Transformations, Somersault Cloud!

"The Monkey King now had a name, and he was overjoyed and took Bodhi Patriarch as his master."

"The Bodhi Patriarch also liked Wukong, this clever monkey, very much."

“Bodhi Patriarch preached and discussed the Dao, while Sun Wukong spent his leisure time on Fangcun Mountain tending to flowers and pruning trees. This is how he spent seven years.”

"On this day, Patriarch Bodhi was meditating, but Sun Wukong could not sit still. He scratched his ears and cheeks and danced around."

The Bodhi Patriarch asked: "Wukong, why are you dancing wildly and refusing to listen to me?"

Sun Wukong said: "Master, I have been in Fangcun Mountain for seven years and want to learn some skills."

"Bodhi asked Wukong what he wanted to learn?"

Sun Wukong said: "I will learn whatever my master teaches me."

"The Bodhi Patriarch said: 'There are 360 ​​side gates within the Dao gate, and all side gates lead to enlightenment. I will teach you the Dao of the Techniques gate, which involves invoking immortals and spirit mediums, divining good and bad fortune, and understanding the principles of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.'"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong hurriedly asked: "Is it possible to achieve immortality through this method?"

The Bodhi Patriarch said: No, no.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately replied: "If it doesn't grant immortality, I won't learn it."

"The Bodhi Patriarch then said: 'I will teach you one path within the [Flow] school, which is the path of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Yin-Yang School, Mohism, medicine, or reading scriptures and chanting Buddha's name, and paying homage to the true saints.'"

Sun Wukong asked again: Is it possible to achieve immortality?

The Bodhi Patriarch replied: "If you want to live forever, it's like putting a pillar inside a wall."

Wukong didn't understand, so he quickly asked 767 and learned that it wouldn't last long, so he said, "I won't learn, I won't learn."

"Then, Patriarch Bodhi taught about stillness and movement, but Sun Wukong only realized that neither of them could grant immortality, so he shook his head and refused to learn."

Seeing that Sun Wukong was unwilling to learn this and that, Patriarch Bodhi pretended to be angry and said: You monkey, you won't learn this and you won't learn that, what are you going to do?

"The Patriarch Bodhi struck Wukong on the head three times with a ruler, then walked inside with his hands behind his back, leaving everyone behind."

"The group of fellow disciples blamed Wukong for angering their master, but Wukong had a smile on his face. They did not understand what he meant, but Wukong had already solved the riddle in the Bodhi Patriarch's plate."

The listeners did not understand his meaning, and one of the warriors could not help but speak up.

Did Patriarch Bodhi give some kind of hint just now?

One of the Imperial Academy students gave him a disdainful look.

"As expected of a crude and uncouth brute, he can't even tell the difference."

The warrior glared angrily, "You're so capable! Tell me, what was the Bodhi Patriarch's hint just now?"

The student from the Imperial Academy was immediately rendered speechless, even though he knew that Patriarch Bodhi had given him a warning.

However, he didn't know what he meant.

The martial artist looked at him with disdain.

"Tch, I thought you Imperial Academy students were so smart, but you're nothing special."

The students of the Imperial Academy were immediately displeased upon hearing this, and it seemed that both the warriors and the scholars were about to come to blows.

Li Qiye frowned slightly and released a burst of demonic energy, instantly calming down.

"Gentlemen, I welcome you all to listen to my story, but please refrain from causing trouble."

In an instant, the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau) fell silent.

Everyone knows what Li Qiye has done; even the Prince of Zhenbei dared to take action against him.

The students of the Imperial Academy felt as if a pair of demonic eyes were crushing down upon them.

The people at the Imperial Academy trembled and dared not utter another sound.

Li Mubai and Zhang Shen thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

Meanwhile, Huaiqing, Wei Yuan, and Li Miaozhen pondered the meaning behind Bodhi Patriarch's words.

In the end, he still didn't achieve enlightenment.

Li Qiye continued his storytelling.

"As night fell, before midnight, Sun Wukong came to the Bodhi Patriarch's room from the back. Seeing that the door was half-closed, he became even more certain that someone was kneeling outside the door."

"It turns out that Patriarch Bodhi struck Wukong on the head three times with a ruler and closed the middle door, meaning that Wukong should come to find him through the back door at midnight."

"As expected, Bodhi Patriarch appeared around midnight."

Upon hearing this, all the scholars lowered their heads.

They didn't even realize this; they weren't even as perceptive as a monkey.

No wonder it turned out this way.

Of course, it's not as good as a monkey. This isn't just any monkey; it's the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

Listen carefully.

Li Qiye continued.

"The Bodhi Patriarch came out and pretended to ask: 'It's the third watch of the night, why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing here?'"

Wukong said, "Master knocked on my door three times and closed the middle gate so that I would come to see you at midnight."

"When Bodhi Patriarch saw how clever Sun Wukong was, he was very pleased and began to teach him Taoist arts, giving him the choice between the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang and the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends."

"These Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang are all supernatural powers, and each one is a terrifying one."

"For example, the first of the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang is to manipulate creation. If one comprehends this supernatural power, one can create a world of its own."

! ! ! ! !

The listeners were taken aback.

It can create its own world, just like the way of heaven.

Li Qiye continued.

"The Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends are seventy-two minor supernatural powers. For example, the first transformation can communicate with ghosts and gods, and the second transformation can command gods, such as the Earth God."

"Wukong did not hesitate to choose the Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends because he felt that there were more than seventy-two transformations."

"The Patriarch Bodhi smiled and passed it on. In fact, the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang are quite terrifying. They are all great supernatural powers. They can turn beans into soldiers, pluck the sun, moon and stars with their hands, and move mountains and fill seas, just like the Primordial Heavenly Venerable."

"However, it is extremely difficult to cultivate, while the Seventy-Two Transformations are relatively simple."

The listeners' eyes were filled with longing for these thirty-six great supernatural powers and seventy-two minor supernatural powers.

If I could learn this, I would have no regrets in this life.

That's what they were thinking.

Li Qiye continued.

"After Bodhi passed on the Seventy-Two Transformations to Wukong, Wukong quickly mastered all the Seventy-Two Transformations and was completely transformed. His talent amazed even Bodhi Patriarch."

Wow!

The listeners were all taken aback upon hearing this.

"So, you've already mastered the Seventy-Two Transformations!"

"This is terrifying, Sun Wukong's talent."

Li Qiye said, "Sun Wukong's talent can be said to be unmatched by anyone."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have earned the title of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

he continued.

"Then, Patriarch Bodhi planned for Sun Wukong to ride the clouds, which was a bit difficult!"

"And so Sun Wukong continued to study magic on Fangcun Mountain. One day, the Patriarch and his disciples were enjoying the evening scenery in front of the Three Star Cave."

The Bodhi Patriarch asked, "Wukong, have you mastered it?"

Wukong said: "I am deeply grateful for Master's kindness. My merits and achievements are complete, and I am now able to ascend to heaven."

The Bodhi Patriarch said: "Try to fly and let me see."

"Wukong showed off his skills, leaped up, did a series of somersaults, jumped five or six zhang off the ground, rode on the clouds and went to retrieve something in the time it takes to eat a meal. He returned in less than three li and landed in front of him, clasped his hands and said: 'How is Master?'"

The Bodhi Patriarch laughed and said, "This doesn't count as soaring through the clouds; it's merely climbing them."

"It has been said since ancient times that immortals travel to the North Sea in the morning and to Cangwu in the evening. Even Sun Wukong could not travel more than three miles, and even climbing the clouds was not enough to make him count."

Thinking of this, Patriarch Bodhi said again: Wukong, I will teach you the Somersault Cloud.

As he spoke, Li Qiye's expression suddenly changed slightly.

"Speaking of which, the Somersault Cloud is quite something; one somersault can cover 108,000 li!"

Upon hearing this, the entire music and dance academy fell silent.

Someone stammered, "Mr. Qiye, you said that the Somersault Cloud can travel 108,000 li in one somersault?"

Li Qiye nodded. "Not bad."

108,000 li!

This caused everyone's eyes to tremble.

Such supernatural powers are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people; the Bodhi Patriarch is truly unfathomable!

They had high hopes for it.

"I am extremely envious. How wonderful it would be if we had a master like Bodhi Patriarch."

"Stop dreaming. I don't need to seek the Bodhi Patriarch. I would be content to become a disciple of the Taiyi Zhenren."

"What's so great about Taiyi Zhenren? He doesn't teach such magical arts."

But the man said...

"Although Taiyi Zhenren does not have the same supernatural powers as Bodhi Patriarch, he gave all his magic treasures to Nezha."

"That's true. Master Taiyi really gave Nezha quite a few magical treasures."

"Bodhi Patriarch and Taiyi Zhenren are both good."

Li Qiye laughed and said, "Although Taiyi Zhenren's realm is not as high as that of Bodhi Patriarch, he gave Nezha all the magic treasures of the Golden Light Cave on Qianyuan Mountain."

"The Bodhi Patriarch is the same; he will teach you any martial arts you want to learn without reservation. It is a great fortune to receive even one of his teachings."
