" Heaven rewards hard work." Sometimes, if one focused on one thing, although it might not be successful, there would always be unexpected gains in the process of pursuing it. During the three years, King Hou Shi had been so focused that he had been calling out 'Immortal Master' non-stop. He had inadvertently mastered a divine skill, but he did not know it. Just as he was shouting enthusiastically, he suddenly saw a seven-colored light ring of red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue, and purple appear in the clouds in front of him.
Looking at the halo in front of him, he thought that his sincerity had finally called for the divine master to show his spirit. He was immediately overjoyed and excitedly waved his hands and shouted at the halo. Suddenly, he was pleasantly surprised to find that a figure had appeared in the middle of the mirror-like halo. And what was unbelievable was that the figure in the seven-colored halo was like a shadow with him. King Hou Shi was shocked and did not say anything. He looked down and was surprised to find that the figure in the halo was also motionless. Looking at the halo, he was puzzled. After calming down, he suddenly thought,"Could this be the legendary 'Buddha's Light'?”
In the clouds of neither Buddha nor God, the seven-colored arc was bright. Looking at the peak of the peak, the divine monkey was shrouded in Buddhist light. After realizing that the seven-colored halo in front of him wasn't his master, King Monkey Shi bent down to pick up some small stones and threw them at the halo one by one. After playing for a while, the halo began to fade. He saw that it was still early, so he shouted again. Needless to say, King Monkey Shi's shout had really alarmed an immortal. Speaking of which, this immortal was not simple. He was the direct disciple of Human King Fuxi, known as Venerable Three Star. After Fuxi's death, Venerable Three Star lived in seclusion in the uninhabited Bamboo Mountain Sacred Realm and became a nameless Hidden Immortal on the Investiture of the Gods. Because Venerable Three Star rarely interacted with the immortals and gods of the Three Realms, very few people in the Three Realms knew about him. It was because the Immortal had received an invitation from Buddha Lord Shakyamuni the day before yesterday to attend the "Three Religious Unification Sutra Conference" held by the Taoist Ancestor, the Grand Supreme Elder, the Confucian Ancestor, and the Three Holy Ancestors of Buddha Lord Shakyamuni at Thunderclap Temple. Venerable Three Star had no religion or sect. He was the only hidden immortal invited by the three Divine Ancestors to participate in the discussion in the three worlds.
Venerable Three Star said to Dao Ancestor Laojun,"My fate is up to me, not the heavens"; The Confucian sage's "erudite, interrogate, think carefully, distinguish clearly, and practice diligently"; The Buddha Lord's tenets and doctrines of turning the human world into a solemn pure land and turning hell into a world of bliss were all in agreement. He especially agreed with Dao Ancestor's idea of " all religions are good, why not combine the three religions, seek common ground while reserving differences, and benefit all sentient beings ". The three Sages agreed and decided to elect a new leader to establish a new stream to reduce the differences caused by different religions, so as to better educate all living beings and promote the righteous spirit in the world. Unexpectedly, the three Holy Ancestors, who had the same views, were hesitant in selecting the new leader. In the end, they unanimously asked Venerable Three Star, who had no religion or sect, to recommend a candidate for the new leader of the New Stream. Although Venerable Three Star admired the teachings of the three Divine Ancestors, he couldn't make up his mind. After thinking for a long time and not knowing what to do, suddenly, a special envoy of the Celestial Emperor came to the Leiyin Temple on the Spirited Mountain with a handwritten edict of the Celestial Emperor. He read out the edict of the Celestial Emperor and asked the three Holy Ancestors to cancel the gathering immediately and never mention the unity of the three religions again.
The three Holy Ancestors saw that the Celestial Thearch did not agree with their idea of uniting the three religions, so they could only keep it in mind and never mention it again. After bidding farewell to the three Saints, Venerable Three Star came to Mount Huang.
Venerable Three Star decided that after returning to the mountain, he would properly study the theories of the three religions: Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. He believed that some of the ideas in the three religions would be of great help to his future cultivation.
The Buddha Lord sent the three gods away and said to his disciples,""All living beings in the world are different in terms of good and evil. I have the Three Tripitaka Scriptures of the Dharma, the Theory, and the Classics. I want to spread them to the world to free all living beings from the sea of suffering. Just now, my heart was moved. There was actually a child born from heaven and earth who was fated with me and could help me spread this great technique. I need to go and receive him. I want to use Patriarch Bodhi's Dharmakaya to show him and teach him spells and divine powers. I'll be gone for a few days, so all of you work hard and don't slack off.”After the Buddha Lord finished his instructions, he led fifty Arhats and left on auspicious clouds.
All the disciples were working hard in Thunderclap Spear when they saw a flash of golden light. The Buddha was already sitting on the lotus throne. When the disciples saw the Buddha return, they asked him why. "I didn't expect Venerable Three Star to be fated to be before me." The Immortal has great powers and boundless magical power, which saves me a lot of effort.”After he finished speaking, he gave a speech to the disciples and announced the results.
The Buddhist Kingdom was like heaven. A day in the sky was equivalent to a year on earth. Venerable Three Star stayed in Spirited Mountain for four days, and four years in the earth. These four years were also the four years that King Monkey Shi had spent searching for a master in Spring Mountain.
When Venerable Three Star arrived at Mount Huang, he saw the receding "Buddha's Light" in the clouds of Mount Huang from afar. When they reached the sky above Mount Huang, the Light of Buddha had completely disappeared. However, Venerable Three Star heard the voice of "Immortal Master" echoing in the valley.
In order to find a master, King Hou Shi stayed in Spring Mountain for four years. In the past four years, he had suffered the pain of not being able to find his master. If it wasn't for the belief of revenge supporting him, he would have jumped off the cliff and committed suicide long ago. " The edge of a sword is sharpened." If one wanted to accomplish something, no matter what difficult situation they encountered in the middle, they must not lose their faith and give up easily. Everything had its pros and cons. After four years of searching for a master, King Hou Shi had suffered greatly. However, because he had been searching for a master wholeheartedly and had no distracting thoughts, he had been shouting "Immortal Master" on the top of the mountain every day and night. As a result, he had unknowingly practiced an original divine technique that was very similar to the Dragon Roar to the Ninth Heaven divine technique of the dragon race. However, because the Yuan Qi in King Monkey Shi's body had disappeared along with the turbid Qi in his body after he was born, his roar did not have the power of the dragon's roar. Even so, with every roar, the clouds and mist were shaken, and the trees on the mountain shook and fell like rain.
It was the golden autumn season with the fragrance of osmanthus. The Immortal saw the red and yellow autumn leaves all over the mountain fluttering like rain under the call of the "Immortal Master". It was very spectacular and beautiful. The Daoist Master thought to himself, Could it be that the descendants of the dragon clan are here?……Ever since he left the celestial class and lived in seclusion here, although he still had reverence for the dragon race, he had never interacted with them…This cry was magnificent. Who else could it be other than the dragon race's disciples?”
With this question in mind, Zhenren stepped on the auspicious clouds and hid his figure as he looked in the direction of the sound. He saw an apeman in ragged clothes standing on a platform on the peak of the mountain. The apeman's hands were in the shape of a horn by his mouth as he shouted,"" Immortal Master--" The Immortal observed the apeman for a while in the air behind him. He knew that the apeman did not have the help of strong genuine Qi in his body, so the power of the divine skill could not be exerted. It was not as powerful as his own roar with all his strength, let alone the Dragon's Roar to the Ninth Heaven. The Immortal wanted to ask where the apeman came from and why he was shouting "Immortal Master" here. Then he remembered that he had not returned for four years and missed the disciples who had stayed in the cave. He ignored the ape man in front of him and rushed to the cave where he lived.
In front of a cliff, the Immortal stopped the auspicious cloud under his feet and landed on a platform protruding from the waist of the stone wall.
The platform was covered with half-foot-thick leaves of various colors. In the sky above the stone wall, the rain-like autumn leaves continued to fall from the high mountains. Clouds and mist were sometimes thick and sometimes light, winding between the cliffs. A clear valley quietly flowed under the cliffs, and the shouts of " Immortal Master " were still echoing in the valley. The real person pointed at the cliff, and a stone door appeared on the cliff. On the stone door, the words "Three Stars Cave" were engraved. Perfected One pushed the stone door open. The Perfected One's body swayed slightly and floated into the cave. The stone door also silently closed behind him, and the cliff returned to its original appearance.
The Immortal was sitting in front of a stone table. A 12-or 13-year-old youth was making tea for the Immortal while saying,"Master, not long after you left the cave abode, this ape demon came to the mountain. It howled day and night, rain or shine, and never stopped. She wondered what he meant by 'Divine Master'. There were a few times when the disciple came out of the cave to secretly observe him and wanted to chase him away. However, he remembered that before his master left, he had instructed his disciple to guard the cave well and not to be playful and cause trouble. Therefore, after his disciple returned, he stayed in the cave abode all day and diligently studied the homework left by his master. He no longer paid attention to the ape demon.”
The Immortal replied with an "oh" and seemed to be quite surprised. He twirled his silver beard and asked the boy,"Wu Chen, you're saying that…this apeman has been shouting 'Divine Master' for a few years in Huang Mountain, and it has never stopped?”
The youth called Wu Chen replied,"Replying to Master, from the first time I saw him, it should have been more than three years."”When the young man said this, he suddenly widened his eyes full of doubt and asked the real person,"Master, this ape demon shouts 'Immortal Master' every day. Could it be that he's here to look for you, Master? In our Bamboo Mountain…Master, you are the only immortal with great divine powers?”
The Immortal thought for a moment, then stood up with a serious expression and said to the boy,"Wu Chen, wait in the cave. When I come out of the cave and find this ape demon, I'll ask him what he's trying to do by shouting "Immortal Master" all day long. Such a good person, there must be something hidden; If it is a treacherous person, I will drive him out of the mountain to prevent him from disturbing my cultivation.”
King Hou Shi was already tired from shouting. Just as he was about to jump off the peak to find some wild fruits to eat and drink to rest before continuing to shout, he suddenly saw an auspicious cloud approaching from afar and floating in the air in front of him. An old immortal with white hair and beard, a thin face, wearing a Tai Chi robe and holding a horsetail whisk, was standing in the clouds and looking at him. King Hou Shi rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was in a hurry to acknowledge his master and that he was hallucinating. However, he heard the old man in the clouds ask,""Where did you come from? Why are you shouting here all day and disturbing my quiet place?”
Although those who could ride the clouds were not necessarily immortals, they could also be demons. But at this moment, King Monkey Shi firmly believed that the sage-like old man standing on the cloud in front of him must be an immortal-an immortal who was moved by him and came to recruit him as a disciple. When he thought of this, he suddenly felt the bitterness of the past surge into his heart. He was really like an orphan who had wandered for many years and suddenly turned around in a foreign land to see his own mother. With tears and tears streaming down his face, he shouted," Immortal Master," and pounced on the immortal in the clouds…He had only run a few steps when he reached the edge of the cliff. He stepped on the air and his body fell down the mountain…
The Perfected One did not expect the ape demon in front of him to be so excited when he saw him. He stepped on the air and fell down the mountain while crying. The Perfected One was not in a hurry to pay attention to him. Seeing that the ape demon was less than three feet off the ground and was about to fall into a meat pie, the Daoist Master suddenly shook the horsetail whisk in his hand, and a white light quickly descended and entangled King Monkey Shi. With a wave of his wrist, the horsetail whisk had already swept King Monkey Shi onto the platform.
Just as Venerable Three Star landed on the platform, King Monkey Shi, who could not stand steadily, rushed forward and hugged Venerable Three Star's legs. He looked up at Venerable Three Star, and his tears flowed like a fountain. He choked and could not speak. Suddenly, his head tilted, and his qi was in a mess. He actually fainted.
Looking at the unconscious King Monkey Shi on the stone platform, the Daoist Master guessed that there must be an unspeakable story behind this monkey in front of him. Thus, he decided to bring him back to the cave first and ask for the reason before dealing with him. With a wave of his sleeve, he wrapped King Hou Shi up and flew back to the cave.
That night, on the platform where King Monkey Shi stood every day, his shadow turned into a monkey-shaped stone statue. The stone statue maintained the usual appearance of King Hou Shi with his hands in the shape of a trumpet, shouting "Immortal Master" into the distance.
King Hou Shi woke up and was surprised to find himself sitting in a cave. The old immortal he saw on the platform was sitting in front of him, and beside him stood a young boy. When the boy saw that King Hou Shi had woken up, he hurriedly handed over a cup of tea and said,""Quickly drink this cup of tea. My master said that you are very thirsty.”
King Hou Shi didn't stand on ceremony. He took the cup, tilted his head, and drank all the water in the cup. Then, he knelt down in front of Venerable Three Star and kowtowed like he was pounding garlic. He kept calling him " Immortal Master ". It seemed that King Monkey Shi had yet to calm down from his excitement. When he saw that King Monkey Shi had calmed down a little, the Perfected One asked,""I heard from my disciple that you have been here for more than three years. What was going on with him shouting 'Divine Master' on the mountain peak every day? Can you tell me?"
King Hou Shi immediately explained how he was born with snot and tears. How he became the king of Flowerfruit Mountain, how he was bullied by the three demons, and how he became the king of Flowerfruit Mountain. How to escape from Huaguo Mountain to find a teacher to learn? How did he come to Huang Mountain under the guidance of the "Match Immortal"? In the end, he told the old immortal in front of him in detail how he had searched for his master in Huang Mountain for four years. After he finished speaking, he hugged the legs of the real person and cried,"Master, you can fly. You must be an immortal! I want to learn divine arts from you and return to the mountain to take revenge…"
