Chapter 601 Immortal Fate
The Lingming Stone Monkey watched the crying old monkey's "performance" and sneered in his heart, knowing that all this was arranged by Patriarch Bodhi.

The methods of this Patriarch Bodhi are really ridiculous, he really thinks he is an ignorant stone monkey!

Huaguo Mountain is shielded by a mountain protection formation and isolated from the outside world. The monkeys should not know about the existence of the outside world such as Qilin, Phoenix, Human King, and Hades. However, the old monkey showed that he knew so much, which was obviously taught by Bodhi Patriarch in secret.

Before the Lingming Stone Monkey could say anything, at this moment, an ape suddenly jumped out of the group of monkeys and shouted loudly: "If your Majesty seeks this magic of immortality, there is a place for him to go. Now among the five insects in Zhoutian, there are only third-class names." Sex is not under the control of the King of Hell."

The Monkey King said: "Who do you know about the third class of people?"

The ape said: "It is the Buddha, the Immortal and the Holy Three who go through reincarnation, are neither born nor destroyed, and live as long as the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers."

The Monkey King asked: "Where do these three people live?"

The ape said: "He is only in the world of Jambudvipa, in the ancient cave and the fairy mountain."

The Lingming Stone Monkey nodded slightly and pondered for a long time: "We are reborn in this blessed land of fairy mountains and ancient caves in China. We are not governed by unicorns, governed by phoenixes, or bound by human thrones. We are free and carefree every day, which is immeasurable. Blessed. Why should we insist on the art of immortality? Birth, aging, illness and death are the principles of reincarnation. What’s more, although there is the art of immortality in the ancient caves and mountains of Jambudvipa, it is elusive and elusive for us and our pursuers. How about enjoying the freedom in the mountains?"

Lingming Stone Monkey's words made the monkeys nod in agreement. They felt that the free and carefree life in Huaguo Mountain was already the greatest blessing, and there was no need to pursue the elusive and elusive art of immortality. Although the monkeys are not very intelligent, they also understand that all precious things are rare! There will still be competition for the rare spiritual fruits in the mountains, not to mention the art of immortality! What's more, they don't even know the specific locations of Jambu World and Ancient Cave Immortal Mountain, so how can they find them? Instead of traveling long distances and enduring hardships in search of unknown opportunities, why not be at ease in Huaguo Mountain?
Seeing the reaction of the monkeys, the old monkey and the ape were startled and realized that their words might be too excited. Then, a flash of light flashed in the eyes of the two monkeys and they said: "Your Majesty, what you said is true. It will be an immeasurable blessing for us to be free and at ease in the mountains!"

However, things didn't seem to turn out the way he expected. The performance of the Lingming Stone Monkey was beyond his expectation. His attitude towards the art of immortality was indifferent, and he even seemed indifferent to the existence of the Jambu World and the Ancient Cave Fairy Mountain.

At the northern foot of Huaguo Mountain, Patriarch Bodhi stood alone, muttering to himself in a low voice, seemingly confused by the reaction of the Lingming Stone Monkey.

He originally thought that by explaining Buddhism to him before he was born, the Buddha's seal had been planted in the heart of the bright stone monkey, which should trigger his desire for the path to immortality. Moreover, these days, he often uses the method of entering dreams, trying to further stimulate the spirit of the stone monkey to pursue the Tao.

The two monkeys did not notice anything unusual about themselves. However, the Lingming Stone Monkey was keenly aware of the glimmer of light flashing in the eyes of the old monkey and the ape.

"Could it be that this stone monkey's Taoist heart has not yet been enlightened and he has not yet had the thought of immortality."

Although Patriarch Bodhi didn't know the key, he also knew not to arouse the vigilance of the Lingming Stone Monkey.

Therefore, this plan failed, and Patriarch Bodhi stopped entangled and decided to temporarily give up the temptation and guidance of the Lingming Stone Monkey.

Of course, Patriarch Bodhi’s intention to open the spiritual heart of the Lingming Stone Monkey and lead him out of Huaguo Mountain has never changed. The death of the old monkey and the ape's description of the art of immortality did not cause any ripples among the monkeys. Lingming Stone Monkey didn't care at all. After hastily burying the dead old monkey. The next day, the monkeys went to pick fairy peaches, pick exotic fruits, dig yams, collect Huangjing, Zhilan, Xianghui, Yaocao and other exotic flowers, all kinds of things, neatly arranged, laid out stone stools and tables, and arranged fairy wine and fairy delicacies. A group of monkeys sat on top of the Monkey King, with their teeth and shoulders lined up below. They came forward one by one in turn, offered wine, flowers, and fruits, and drank heavily all day long.

In the following days, Lingming Stone Monkey's life did not change much. Sometimes he feasted and had fun with the monkeys, sometimes he played in the mountains, enjoying a carefree life. Although he occasionally practiced cultivation, the superficial cultivation method spread in Huaguo Mountain and the lazy cultivation attitude of Lingming Stone Monkey could not cultivate any magical powers.

Although Patriarch Bodhi was a little disappointed, he still worked hard to guide Lingming Stone Monkey and used various opportunities to instill the benefits of immortality to Lingming Stone Monkey, hoping that he could embark on the path of spiritual practice and pursue the path to immortality. But Lingming Stone Monkey didn't have much interest and always didn't care.

Ancestor Bodhi even encouraged the spiritual beasts in the mountains to unite to attack the monkeys, hoping to inspire the fighting spirit and determination of the Lingming Stone Monkeys. However, he did not expect that these wolves, insects, tigers and leopards would be vulnerable to the Lingming Stone Monkey. The Monkey King easily defeated these spiritual beasts.

Time passed quietly like running water, and in the blink of an eye, Patriarch Bodhi had spent hundreds of years in Huaguo Mountain.

Looking at the bright stone monkey who was still carefree in the mountains and forests, Patriarch Bodhi was ready to take the initiative.

Time originally had no meaning to Patriarch Bodhi, but it is different at this moment. At this critical moment of the Journey to the West, Buddhism cannot afford to waste time!
On this day, Lingming Stone Monkey sat quietly on the top of Huaguo Mountain, admiring the gorgeous sunset, feeling peaceful in his heart. Suddenly, a shout of praise came from the void, breaking the tranquility. The voice was full of appreciation and admiration: "What a born fairy, a fairy in the world."

The Monkey King was startled and immediately followed the sound. I saw an old man with white hair and childish face descending from the sky and floating on the auspicious clouds. He has an immortal spirit and extraordinary aura, and is obviously an expert.

The Monkey King suddenly understood that this old man was definitely an extraordinary person. He immediately stood up to greet him and asked respectfully: "Where did the old immortal come from? What advice do you have?"

As he spoke, the old man floated to the top of the mountain. He looked at the Monkey King, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile: "I have traveled all over the world and saw that this place is extraordinary. I wanted to stop for a moment and enjoy the scenery. But I didn't expect to meet you, the one born in heaven and earth. Elf, this is really fate!”

The Monkey King was a little puzzled, and he asked blankly: "May I ask the old god what the fate is?"

The old man smiled and explained: "Between heaven and earth, all living things have their origin. And you are born and raised by the earth, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and were born by the good fortune of the heaven and the earth. You are a rare elf in the world. If you can grasp it, This opportunity will surely benefit people in the future.”

After hearing this, the Monkey King saluted the old man and said, "Thank you very much, old god, for your guidance."

The old Taoist nodded and laughed softly and said: "You can teach me! The great enlightened golden immortal has no smudged appearance, the wonderful appearance of the West is Bodhi; he has no birth and no death in the three three elements, and he is full of energy, full of spirit, and infinite kindness. The emptiness and silence change naturally, and it is true to his nature. Let it be done. Live as long as the heaven, and live in a state of majesty. Master Mingxin will endure all the calamities."
