Chapter 1369

"Watching the chess game, the woodcutter chops wood, walking slowly by the valley mouth by the clouds... At the meeting place, if not an immortal, then a Daoist, sitting quietly and lecturing on the Yellow Court."

Not long after, the two enter a famous mountain and indeed hear a singing voice full of Daoist charm.

The six-eared macaque does not know if this person is the incarnation of a great supernatural being and dares not use its supernatural powers to distinguish, only urging Sun Wukong to go and ask.

Afterward, without any surprise, the two monkeys get the address of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave.

"He didn't avoid me!"

"Could it be that I really have the opportunity to take Bodhi Patriarch as a master?"

The six-eared macaque and the monkey are brought to the Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave, still not believing their own situation.

"Six-ears, come back to your senses; an immortal boy is coming!"

Hearing this, the six-eared macaque comes back to its senses and looks up, indeed seeing the cave residence of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave open, and a boy with a bell-like spirit and beautiful appearance walks out.

The boy looks arrogant: "Just now, the Patriarch said that someone outside wants to take a master; could it be you two?"

"Exactly, exactly." The six-eared macaque quickly steps forward, respectfully paying respects: "I hope the immortal boy will introduce us; we will definitely not forget this great kindness."

"Hmph." The immortal boy snorts lightly. "Follow me!"

The six-eared macaque looks at the substitute monkey, urging: "Great King, hurry!"

The substitute monkey follows closely and enters the cave residence.

As soon as they enter the cave residence, heaven and earth change.

Outside, it was still deep mountains and dense forests, but here it is an immortal residence.

It sees auspicious clouds and colorful rays covering the place, pavilions and towers hidden, cranes swimming, and immortal flowers blooming with strange light.

Even an ordinary person who does not understand cultivation would know that this place is extraordinary.

After walking for a while, they arrive in front of a Daoist platform.

On the high platform, a Daoist with an immortal wind and Daoist bones sits quietly, his gaze falling on the six-eared macaque and the substitute monkey.

"Are you two the ones who came to take a master?"

"Exactly." The six-eared macaque steps forward. "Patriarch, have mercy; we have experienced dangers to reach the Patriarch; I beg the Patriarch to have pity and take us in."

Bodhi Patriarch nods, sighing in his heart: "I was clearly only going to teach one disciple, but now I have to teach two. I don't know how much trouble this will cause later. That stone monkey is also, why is he so naughty, not understanding the Daoist nature, and not anxious at all?"

His gaze falls on the stone monkey.

"Why are you silent, monkey? Are you not afraid that I will drive you out of the cave residence?"

"If the Patriarch didn't want to take us in, he wouldn't have let us into the cave residence." The substitute monkey is very smart and has long seen the key to this.

Letting the two into the cave residence is probably because he has already made a plan to have the six-eared macaque as a backup even if he himself does not succeed.

For such a big thing as the Journey to the West, having a backup plan is much more reliable than tying everything to one person.

"Haha... you monkey are smart! Very well, from today on, you will live in the Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave."

"Pay respects to Master."

The two quickly bow.

Afterward, the substitute monkey still gets the name Sun Wukong.

As for the six-eared macaque, it does not have this honor.

After all, it is just a backup.

The six-eared macaque also knows this very well and does not have many delusions.

Supernatural powers are just incidental to it.

It has not forgotten its plan: to seize the merit of the Journey to the West and become a Buddha and an ancestor.

Being strong oneself is much better than relying on others.
