Chapter 30 The Smart Monkey King

"I was on the coast opposite the mountain, and saw the majestic momentum and beautiful scenery of this mountain, so I wanted to go sightseeing. Unexpectedly, I met the macaques under the command of the cave master, so I came to pay a visit." Lu Jun raised his hand and saluted, then looked at the Monkey King subtly.

"Oh?"

The Monkey King blinked his bright eyes, and imitated Lu Jun's gesture to return the greeting, saying, "A guest is a guest. Please take a seat and taste the specialties of our region."

Lu Jun followed the Monkey King and sat in front of the stone table. On the table were fresh fruits prepared by the monkeys, with a refreshing, sweet and refreshing aroma.

The Monkey King and the guests sat down together, and a clever monkey came forward and filled the glasses with fruit wine for their king and the guests.

"What is your name, sir? Where is the fairyland?" Although the Monkey King took a seat, he could not hold his seat upright. He was straightforward by nature, so he simply squatted on the stone bench, blinking his smart eyes and looking over.

"My name is Lu Jun, and I live in the Sanqin Camp." Lu Jun looked at the monkey with aura of spiritual light, and unconsciously felt a desire to make friends with it. This feeling was not influenced by his previous life.

Rather, it is the natural affinity of living beings towards the spiritual essence of heaven and earth.

Monkeys are born and raised by nature, and are nurtured by immortal cells. The spiritual essence of heaven and earth is naturally extremely rich, which makes people unconsciously feel good about them and find it difficult to harm them.

"Lu Jun...is that your name?" The Monkey King seemed to have a sudden realization, scratching his head impatiently. "I sprang from a stone and don't have a name yet. I see you're quite learned, so why don't you give me one too?"

"Popped out of a stone?" Lu Jun pretended to be surprised.

"Yes!"

The Monkey King laughed and said, "I was born of stone, so I was once called the Stone Monkey. But this name is really unpleasant to the ear!"

In the void.

The Five Directions Jie Di hid his body, but his Dharma eyes were clear. When he saw the Monkey King in the Water Curtain Cave asking Lu Jun to give him a name, he immediately thought that something was wrong.

"I said I would not release this person to avoid any trouble."

Mahagata's face was filled with anger, and his tone was filled with dissatisfaction as he said, "Now that the stone monkey has asked him to name the Buddha, it will definitely be linked to karma. Wouldn't that hinder the Buddha's important mission?"

The Golden-headed Jie Di sighed and said, "It is my fault."

The Silver-headed Jie Di held the conch shell in his hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will stop him!"

Say it.

He put the conch to his lips and blew it gently. The invisible sound waves immediately turned into an invisible and intangible silk thread and entered the Monkey King's ears.

The Monkey King looked at Lu Jun eagerly, wishing that he could have a name instead of being called the Monkey King or the Stone Monkey.

Lu Jun knew that the Monkey King would have his own destiny in the future, and was about to politely refuse, but suddenly he felt a magical power coming from the void and entering the Monkey King's ears. He became displeased and snorted coldly.

snort!
The cold snort was like the sound of bells and drums, and the magic power was integrated into it, immediately dispersing the sound waves that penetrated into the Monkey King's ears.

"Huh?" The Monkey King shook his ears, a look of surprise on his face, and felt as if his ears were bitten by a mosquito.

"A name is just a title."

Although Lu Jun disliked the behavior of the Five Directions Jie Di, he did not want to add complications to the Monkey King's future quest for immortality, so he smiled and said, "Everyone's name is given by their parents and elders. Since you were born and raised by nature and have no benefactors, it's not difficult for you to get a name. Just choose one yourself!"

The Monkey King pondered for a long while, scratching his armpits with one hand and his back with the other. He said anxiously, "You are deceiving me. I am uneducated, so how can I come up with a good name? Please, give me a name!"

Seeing the Monkey King's insistence, Lu Jun compromised, saying, "A name should only be chosen by one's parents or teachers. I'm not your teacher, so how can I name you? But since you've requested it so repeatedly, how about giving you a nickname?"

The Monkey King was delighted: "Yes, yes!"

Lu Jun pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "You were conceived by heaven and earth. I also see that you have a lively spirit and bright eyes, so I'll take one character from each of them and call you 'Lingming', how about that?"

He took a shortcut.

The Monkey King is a naturally born and raised clever stone monkey, so taking the word 'clever and clear' for his name wouldn't add too much uncertainty.

"Spiritual, spiritual..."

The Monkey King kept repeating these two words, and could not help being extremely happy. He leaped onto the white jade throne, raised his head and shouted, "My little ones, your king has a name. From now on, you can call me 'Spiritual and Beautiful Monkey King'!" "Spiritual and Beautiful Monkey King!"

"The Beautiful Monkey King!"

When the monkeys in the Water Curtain Cave saw the king happy, they also became happy.

The Monkey King jumped back to the stone table and personally poured Lu Jun a glass of fruit wine, saying with a smile, "Thank you for taking my name. Drink, drink."

"I'm sorry to come to your house. I don't have any gifts."

Lu Jun drank a few cups of the monkeys' wine, then slapped his right hand on his waist. Pieces of cut dragon meat from his treasure bag fell out and piled on the ground. "These pieces of meat are just a gift for visiting my family!"

"Brother, what kind of meat is this?"

The Monkey King sniffed and sneezed, saying, "Why do I smell the smell of the sea? Could it be the flesh of a large fish caught from the sea?"

The words have not yet fallen.

The Monkey King circled around Lu Jun again, peered at his waist, tugged at his belt, tugged at his shirt hem, and asked curiously, "Brother, what magic did you use to conjure up so many?"

"Mo Xun, you will know later." Lu Jun smiled, and used his magic power to grab the dragon meat. With a flash of sword light, the dragon meat was cut into small pieces in an instant.

Seeing this, the Monkey King shouted, "Little ones, bring us some bamboo sticks! We're grilling some fish today!"

The monkeys in the Water Curtain Cave cheered a few times, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and searched for the bamboo sticks they used every day from the belongings in the cave. If they couldn't find some, they would jump out of the Water Curtain Cave and go to the mountain to cut bamboo to make some.

Bamboo sticks were placed into the hole one by one.

Lu Jun used his magic power to skewer the dragon meat, then he formed a flame and set up a rack to roast it.

The flames created by magic power roasted the skewers of meat, and the spiritual energy was burned and dispersed, dispersing into every part of the skewers. The fragrant aroma of meat emanated, making the monkeys in the cave drool.

The Monkey King squatted aside, staring at the skewers and couldn't help swallowing.

Soon.

The meat skewers were grilled and distributed to the monkeys in the Water Curtain Cave. The monkeys didn't care that they were hot and couldn't wait to put the meat in their mouths, chewing it a few times and swallowing it into their stomachs.

"Brother, have a drink." The Monkey King poured Lu Jun another glass of fruit wine, clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

The man and the monkey drank wine and ate meat until the sun set. The monkeys were all drunk and sleepy, so they dispersed and went to rest.

After the monkeys have rested.

The Monkey King Lingming warmly invited him to stay, saying, "Brother, please stay in my cave today. I will take you to appreciate the beautiful scenery tomorrow. Is that okay?"

"Thank you, Monkey King, for your hospitality."

Lu Jun shook his head and declined the invitation of the Monkey King Lingming, saying, "But I have important matters to attend to and cannot stay."

The Monkey King just asked him to choose a name, but the Five Jiedis all intervened.

If I continue to stay, I don’t know what trouble will arise.

Anyway, the goal of becoming familiar with the Monkey King has been achieved, so there is no need to increase the risk to myself.

The Monkey King looked reluctant to leave. He rolled his eyes and said, "You chose a name for me, and I've enjoyed drinking and eating meat today. Why don't you feel any reluctance to leave? How about you finish your errand and come find me again?"

Lu Jun glanced at the sky without leaving a trace and said, "I'm afraid that if I come to look for you again, I won't be able to find you."

The Monkey King was anxious: "I will stay in this mountain, how can I not find it?"

Lu Jun shook his head and said nothing.

The Monkey King seemed to understand something, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Don't worry too much, brother. As long as you still remember me, even if we are at the ends of the earth, we will definitely be reunited one day!"
