What exactly was this Tristar Crescent Abode like? Amidst the mist, there were colorful clouds floating in the air, and the sun and moon shone. Thousands of cypress trees lingered around, and the leaves rustled in the wind, which was very pleasant to the ear.
Outside the door of the cave abode, there was a small bridge across the stream, and the grass beside the bridge was fragrant. Occasionally, he would hear the cry of an immortal crane. When the immortal crane cried, the sound shook the nine heavens. He saw that the cave door was tightly shut, and it was quiet and uninhabited.
Sun Wukong walked closer and examined a stone tablet standing beside the cave. This stone tablet was about ten meters tall and eight feet wide. On it, there were 10 large words carved in a flamboyant manner. It was 'Mountain of Spiritual Platform and Heart, Cave of the Three Stars of the Tilted Moon'.
Sun Wukong's face lit up and he couldn't help but laugh out loud. This was the place where he was about to learn the ability to dominate the three worlds!
Suddenly, there was a sound and the tightly shut door slowly opened. A boy walked out.
This boy was dressed in a green Daoist robe and had a strange appearance. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.
The boy walked out of the door and looked at Sun Wukong. He shouted,""Who are you? Why are you harassing me here?"
Sun Wukong replied,"I heard that this place is the residence of an immortal, so I came here to learn from him. I dare not disturb him here."”
"Are you here to learn from me?" the boy asked with a smile.”
"Yes," said Sun Wukong.
"My master is preaching on the altar," the boy said."He hasn't told me the reason yet, so he told me to come out and open the door. He said,'There's a cultivator outside. Go and receive him.'You must be the one cultivating?”
Sun Wukong smiled and said,"Yes, it's me."”
The child nodded and said,"Follow me."”Then, he took the lead and walked inside.
Sun Wukong followed behind the boy and thought," Patriarch Subhuti knew that I was here and specially sent a child to welcome me. If it was an ordinary Dao Seeker, would he still be so enthusiastic? I think he accepted me as his disciple for some purpose.
Following behind the boy, they passed through layers of tall pavilions, palaces, and palaces until they reached a large hall.
Patriarch Subhuti was seated on a high platform in the hall, with thirty immortals standing on either side of him.
Patriarch Subhuti was dressed as a Daoist, and his entire body seemed to be enveloped in golden light. He appeared extremely solemn and dignified.
When Sun Wukong saw this, he immediately bowed and said,""This disciple is sincerely seeking the Dao. Please have mercy on me and take me as your disciple.”
When Patriarch Subhuti heard this, he thought to himself, Although he didn't know what caused the monkey to come here 300 years earlier, it didn't matter. It wasn't anything important.
He raised his eyebrows and asked,"Which side are you from?" Tell me the name of your hometown and bow again."
Sun Wukong replied,"I am from the Water Curtain Cave of Huaguo Mountain in the Aolai Kingdom of the Eastern Victory Divine Prefecture."”
As soon as he finished speaking, Patriarch Subhuti's eyebrows shot up as he berated,"Chase him out! What Dao Fruit did such a person who was playing tricks on others cultivate?”
When Sun Wukong saw this, he did not panic at all. After reading the original novel, he knew that Patriarch Bodhi only wanted to scare him and kill his wildness.
He immediately pretended to panic and said respectfully,"Disciple is telling the truth!”
"Since you're so honest, why did you say you're from the Eastern Victory Divine Prefecture?" Patriarch Subhuti asked. That place is separated by two oceans and a continent, how did you get here?”
"When I left the mountain, I originally planned to go to the Aolai Kingdom to try my luck," Sun Wukong replied. Who knew that halfway through the raft, there was a strong wind on the sea. This wind blew for three months, and finally sent me to Jambu. Later, I passed through Jambu Continent and went through many hardships to reach this place.”
Patriarch Subhuti nodded. He did not ask why the sea had been so windy for three months. "If that's the case, then so be it." What's your name?"
"My name is Sun Wukong," Sun Wukong replied.”
"Who gave you this name?" Patriarch Subhuti asked.”
"I chose this name myself," said Sun Wukong.”
Patriarch Subhuti stood up abruptly and stared at Sun Wukong with his sharp eyes.""Why did you give yourself such a name?”
Sun Wukong immediately felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe. He forced himself to say,"I was originally a stone monkey and looked like a monkey. However, my intelligence was awakened and I didn't want to be like a wild beast, so I removed the word 'beast' from the word 'monkey' and took on the surname 'Sun'. As the saying goes, when the great sage first opens up, there is no surname. To break the stubborn void, one must be Wukong. Therefore, I named myself Wukong.”
When Patriarch Subhuti heard this, he was stunned."In that case, not only is this monkey fated with me, but it also has an extremely good spirituality.”
"In that case, I'll call you Wukong from now on.”Patriarch Subhuti slowly sat back down on the platform.
As soon as Grandmaster Bodhi sat down, Sun Wukong felt the pressure disappear without a trace. He understood that Grandmaster Bodhi had agreed to take him as a disciple and said,"Thank you, Master, for accepting me as your disciple!"
When Grandmaster Bodhi heard this, he lowered his eyes slightly and ordered the child to bring Sun Wukong out of the door. He taught him some basic knowledge and arranged a place for him to sleep.
The next morning, Sun Wukong woke up early according to the stipulated time. He listened to his senior brother's lecture, practiced calligraphy, and burned incense every day.
After six or seven years, Patriarch Bodhi still hadn't taught Sun Wukong anything. This made him anxious, but he didn't dare to mention it rashly.
Finally, on this day, the Patriarch suddenly sent a message to his disciples. He wanted to ascend the altar and sit high up in the air today to preach the Great Dao.
Sun Wukong was ecstatic. He knew that Patriarch Subhuti was preparing to teach him the cultivation method. He immediately followed behind his senior brothers and rushed to the Dao lecture hall.
