Gu Qing rested his head on his hands and stared at the roof. He didn't expect to have insomnia on his first night back. The reason for his insomnia was actually because of his master's new disciple, Sun Wukong. He couldn't understand why his master had taken in a monkey after three thousand years. His master had a discerning eye. Since he took in a monkey, he naturally had his reasons. However, when he was at the dining table, he only looked at Sun Wukong and didn't see that he had any Dao foundation or immortal bones. Other than his speech and behavior, he was a monkey from head to toe. Although his senior brothers praised him in unison, they were all praising how diligent he was usually. He was able to accumulate popularity because of this, but it did not mean that he was talented. Could it be that he was smarter than me?
Moreover, he could also see that because of Sun Wukong's existence, Long Yan had obviously become cold to him. He could not help but curse in his heart,"" Dead Dragon Flame, smelly Dragon Flame, watch how I deal with you in the future..." However, Sun Wukong's shadow was still lingering in front of him. It was as if there was a hairy face on the roof and a pair of black and round eyes.
"Junior Brother Wukong." Sun Wukong and Long Yan had just entered the monastery when they met the smiling Gu Qing.
Long Yan's face immediately showed displeasure as he said,""And your Senior Brother Long Yan, can't you see someone as big as me? You didn't even greet me.”
Gu Qingya glanced at Long Yan and said,"I'm talking to Junior Martial Brother Wukong. Why are you pretending? There are some green onions in the kitchen.”
As soon as they met, Long Yan was scolded by Gu Qing. He was so angry that he rolled his eyes for a long time. Seeing Gu Qing's provocative eyes, he still didn't have enough confidence. He chuckled and said,"A great man does not mind a small person's mistakes. Your senior brother will not lower himself to the same level as a child like you. However, your words reminded me. I'll peel two long and white onions for you and stick them into your nose.”Although he had a wicked smile on his face, he didn't wait for Gu Qing to retort. With a whoosh, he dashed past Gu Qing and left Sun Wukong behind. He didn't know if he really went to peel onions.
When Sun Wukong saw the two bickering, he was originally quite imposing. He did not expect Long Yan to become a deserter in a face-to-face confrontation. The battle ended without any problems. Seeing that Gu Qing was still smiling at him, he hurriedly bowed and said,"Greetings, Senior Brother."
Gu Qing said," You and I are fellow disciples. There's no need to be so polite. I wasn't around when you went up the mountain, so I couldn't pick you up. How is it? Are you used to being on the mountain?"”
"Senior Brother, you're doing this for the sake of the monastery's livelihood. How can you compare yourself to an idle person like me?" Sun Wukong hurriedly said. I've been through a lot in the world, but I've been able to enter the Three Stars Temple and become a disciple of my master. My senior brothers treat me like brothers. It's simply a leap to the sky. How can I not be used to it?”
Gu Qing smiled again." I heard from Long Yan that you're from the Flowerfruit Mountain. Flowerfruit Mountain is there. How far is it from here?"”
Sun Wukong said," The Flowerfruit Mountain is in the Eastern Victory Divine Prefecture's Aolai Nation. As for how far it is from here, I'm not sure. I only remember that I crossed the East Sea and the West Sea. I wandered the world for seven years before arriving here."”
"So you're saying that we're separated by thousands of rivers and mountains?" Gu Qing asked.”
"You can say that."”
"I heard Long Yan say that you were the Monkey King at the Flowerfruit Mountain. Is that true?" Gu Qing asked.”
"Because I helped them avoid a disaster and was elected as their king."”
Gu Qing's eyes lit up with interest as he said,"Isn't the Great King awe-inspiring?"
Sun Wukong said," Monkeys are not ferocious birds and beasts. They don't have sharp teeth. Their lives are constantly threatened in the mountains. Even the strongest monkeys can't fight tigers, leopards, and wolves. What's so impressive about them?"”
Gu Qing said," That's true. The weak can only be bullied by the strong. They don't even have the ability to protect themselves. Is that why you went through so much trouble to become a disciple?"”
This sentence seemed to have evoked Sun Wukong's thoughts."He's right. Every animal lives in the survival of the fittest. Monkeys are too weak. If I cultivate the immortal path, will I be able to make the entire monkey clan stronger and no longer suffer from bullying?”He suddenly felt that this was no longer his personal pursuit, but a responsibility. Unknowingly, he had actually shouldered the fate of the entire monkey clan. "It should be at first, but now I'm a little unsure why."”
"Why?" Gu Qing asked curiously.
Sun Wukong forced a smile and said,"Because sometimes I think about this problem too, but I haven't completely figured it out yet.”
"If you don't understand, then slowly think about it. You will understand one day." Gu Qing smiled. By the way, tell me about your journey from Flowerfruit Mountain to Innerheart Mountain. I heard from Long Yan that it was extremely dangerous, but he refused to tell me, so I had no choice but to ask you.”
Sun Wukong thought to himself," I've been talking for a long time because I'm curious. However, you don't have to say that this senior brother's smile is quite good-looking. Why does it look a little like the eldest princess 'smile?!"”"Since Senior Brother wants to hear it, I'll tell you." I made a raft at the Flowerfruit Mountain and prepared food. I propped the raft across the East Sea. A few days ago, it was smooth sailing. Ten days later, the originally sunny weather suddenly became violent and the waves surged into the sky. A few waves destroyed the raft and I was swept into a huge whirlpool. So this storm was caused by the patrolling yakshas and the octopus spirit of the Dragon Palace. I was captured by them and brought into the Dragon Palace..."
Behind the Three Stars Temple was a square about three acres in size. It was the place where the disciples practiced martial arts. Sun Wukong had nothing to do today, so he invited Long Yan to the martial arts field. He first practiced his fists and feet and asked Long Yan for guidance. Long Yan shook his head. He really thought he was nothing."It's only been four or five months, but it's already not easy for you to be able to beat this path of martial arts to perfection. However, your punches and kicks are too superficial. It's fine to watch them, but if you use them against your enemies, you'll only get beaten up.”
Sun Wukong humbly asked for advice." I feel that I've used all my strength," he said." Why is it still superficial?"”
" Firstly, it's because of your body constitution," Long Yan said." Your body is already thin. Although you've been training hard these days and your body is getting stronger, this isn't something that can be achieved overnight. Moreover, you used all your strength in every punch and every kick. A lot of your strength was wasted. As time went on, you became weaker and weaker. As the saying goes, when you should be weak, you should be weak. When you should be strong, you should be strong…If it's too complicated, you won't understand. In short, you will slowly understand in the future. It's already rare for you to have such a performance.”
Sun Wukong seemed to understand what he was saying, but he was confused. Long Yan saw his confused expression and said,""Master wants me to teach you, so I naturally have to do my best and take responsibility. I'll give you a round of punches and kicks.”After saying that, he stood still, shook his arm, and began to fight.
It was the same punch and kick, but it had a different effect when it was hit by the dragon flames. Sun Wukong scratched his ears and cheeks as he watched, feeling that he had benefited a lot. Long Yan's face was not red, and his heart was not beating. It was as if nothing had happened. Sun Wukong took the opportunity to practice his weapons. Among the eighteen weapons, he loved the staff the most. He took an iron staff from the weapon rack and walked through the door to practice the staff technique. After Long Yan saw it, he personally demonstrated and gave him some pointers before asking him to practice by himself.
Sun Wukong received the guidance of the dragon flame. His comprehension was extremely high and he had a strong memory. He quickly sorted out his shortcomings and began to practice on his own. These days, he had learned some skills from his senior brothers, and now he was also taking them out to practice. He had only been at Mount Innerheart for four to five months, but he already had some foundation in the Dao. He could leap four to five zhang high with a single leap, and his cudgel would leave many afterimages. When he was excited, he jumped up an old pine tree, stepping on the pine needles and swinging the cudgel as if it was flying, but it didn't fall down. Seeing this, all the senior brothers in the square stopped their martial arts and gathered over. From time to time, there would be cheers. Sun Wukong forgot himself for a moment, and he became even more proficient with the iron cudgel.
