My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 737: Erased Memories

This monkey is really smart.

Li Changshou could not help but laugh.

He had not even joined the sect, but he had already called him Master. Moreover, he had a feeling that... he had been called Master in his previous life.

Calm and dignified.

He was just a mere Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal, who had come to acknowledge him as his master. He was about to wreak havoc, so it was a good opportunity to teach him.

Li Changshou sat still. The disciples in charge of patrolling the Daoist temple walked forward.

The disciples were also lively. Two men and two women flew straight to the door of the Daoist temple. The male disciples were dressed in proper Daoist robes, and the female disciples were dressed in light white immortal dresses. They stood on the eaves.

The monkey had been in the mortal world for many years but he had never seen such a spectacle before.

Especially when he saw the casual attitude of the four immortals when they appeared, Monkey’s Dao heart was even more excited. He repeatedly bowed to the four disciples.

It was the etiquette of a scholar learned from mortals.

A female disciple beside him smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, you’re quite polite. However, for some reason, you called me Master. You even said that you came to become my disciple. Could it be that you had an agreement with my master previously?”

The stone monkey hurriedly said, “I’ve never seen it before. This is the first time I’ve found a treasure land. I want to become a disciple and ask for an immortal technique.”

Another male disciple smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, you can be considered to be fated with my master to be able to come here. You don’t know that in the past few decades, many immortal experts have come to visit but they could not come to this sect. Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. We will go and report. If Teacher wants to take you in as a disciple, he will naturally let you enter this sect.”

The stone monkey was overjoyed when it saw that. It understood the meaning of those words.

He had become a fated spirit!

The four disciples were not rude. They treated him politely the entire time and did not tease the stone monkey’s appearance.

After all, different races had different aesthetic standards. The stone monkey did not think that the two fairies looked ugly.

A male disciple entered the Daoist temple and rushed to Li Changshou to report. He said that a living being of the Monkey Clan with the face of the Thunder God had arrived outside the Daoist temple. He said that he had come to be Li Changshou’s disciple.

“Disciple?”

Li Changshou deliberately picked up the rack and sat cross-legged on the soft couch. He said slowly, “If he can reach the sect, he must be an extraordinary object. I’ll ask him three times to see if he’s sincere.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The disciple said firmly and turned around to rush back to the Daoist temple.

The disciples in the temple ran over to take a look. They stood on the wall from left to right. There were humans and demons mixed together. They were all dressed in exquisite Daoist robes and surrounded by a breath of air.

When the stone monkey saw that, it was overjoyed.

How could he not know that there were demons and ghosts in this world? He should be a demon. There were many immortals with Dharma powers who would shout to kill demons.

When they saw that place, so many disciples of the demon race were overjoyed.

Many disciples were amused by him. They whispered and asked where the monkey came from.

Creak...

The door opened halfway. The male disciple walked out and bowed to the stone monkey.

The stone monkey hurriedly asked, “Master, have you accepted me? Have you accepted me?”

“Fellow Daoist, Teacher said that since you have arrived here and have the intention to become a disciple, I will ask you three questions to see if you are sincere.”

The male disciple said warmly, “Think carefully. If you have any doubts, you can consider it carefully before saying anything. However, if you spout nonsense, Teacher will definitely punish you for being disrespectful.”

“Sure, sure!”

“Firstly, where did you come from? Where is your home? How are your parents?”

The stone monkey bowed with both hands and quickly answered, “I came from the East Continent. It’s called the Ao Lai Nation. There are no families around. I don’t have parents. I jumped out of a rock. The entire mountain is filled with my foster parents, relatives, and brothers.”

“Nonsense!”

The male disciple frowned and said, “Can living beings jump out of rocks? Could it be that you are a Connate mighty figure and a spiritual embryo of the world?”

At that moment, a voice transmission entered the male disciple’s ears. It was his master, Patriarch Bodhi, who reminded him.

“Next.”

The male disciple was smart and immediately understood something. His attitude towards Monkey became gentler.

“You’ve asked this question. You have no intention of being dishonest. Listen to the second question. Why did you become my disciple? Have you heard of my teacher before?”

The monkey smiled and said, “The purpose of becoming a disciple is to become an immortal and live a carefree life! Previously, hehehe, I have never heard of Master’s name. I only came here by accident when I was searching for an immortal.”

“Yes?”

The male disciple smiled and said, “There’s a third and most important question. If you encounter a bottleneck in your cultivation and have no hope of breaking through in this life, will you choose to sit in the mountains and continue cultivating or choose to go to the mortal world to do some good deeds?”

That question stumped Monkey.

He scratched his head and looked up at the plaque, sensing the Ethereal Dao runes.

Monkey smiled and said, “I will definitely live forever.”

“I’m asking you what you should choose if you can’t cultivate immortality.”

“Good deeds and evil deeds are not my business. If I do good, others might think that I’m evil. I might as well go back and live happily.”

“Your answer...”

The male disciple frowned and pondered for a while. Indeed, a second voice transmission came.

“Let him in and change his clothes. He will be taking in disciples in the Hall of Noon.”

“You’ve passed these three questions.” The male disciple turned around and made an inviting gesture. “Enter the sect. Teacher has agreed to take you in as a disciple. Follow me to bathe and change my clothes.”

Monkey knelt down and kowtowed to the courtyard. “Thank you, Master! I thank you, Master!”

He was smart.

The door of the Daoist temple opened. The disciples jumped down from the left and right walls and lined up in two rows in the courtyard. They temporarily stopped talking and released their auras.

Monkey jumped into the door and did not mind the ceremony. He kept bowing to the two places and jumped around in the courtyard, causing a few female disciples to cover their mouths and laugh.

The entire Daoist temple became lively.

In the backyard, Li Changshou sat quietly and pondered.

At that moment, the Heavenly Dao was watching him. He could no longer divert his attention to romance. He could only focus on plotting against the Heavenly Dao.

How should I add some variables to the monkey that has been locked by fate under the eyes of the Heavenly Dao?

This operation is indeed difficult.

Four hours later.

Bang, bang, bang...

The sound of the wooden fish entered his ears and the chanting of sutras disturbed his mind.

In the main hall of the Daoist temple that was embedded in the mountain wall, the disciples sat upright and recited the sutras.

Li Changshou sat in front of the word ‘Heaven and Earth’. He held a horsetail whisk in his left hand and a string of prayer beads in his right. His hair accessories were made of a crane-haired Dao Headband, but he was dressed in a Daoist robe.

He cultivated both Dao and Buddhism.

At the door of the hall, a furry palm grabbed the door frame, followed by a furry head.

At that moment, the stone monkey did not seem nervous. Instead, he was playful. He sized up Patriarch Bodhi at the door, as if he wanted to test if he was an immortal.

Li Changshou remained silent. The stone monkey was pushed by someone. It immediately jumped into the hall and bowed to Li Changshou.

“Greetings, Master. Greetings, Master!”

Only then did Li Changshou open his eyes. There was no joy or anger on his face. He said slowly, “You want to acknowledge me as your master?”

“Yes, yes. I want to be your disciple!”

Li Changshou asked, “Do you have a name?”

The stone monkey hurriedly said, “I have no name. Teacher, please give me your name.”

Li Changshou nodded and said, “You have the face of the Thunder God and a natural Dao Body. There is no negative karma around you, and you have clear breath in your mouth. Although you are a monkey, you have already been enlightened and are a disciple. In that case, I’ll give you the surname Sun.”

“Hao Sun, Hao Sun!”

The monkey head kept shouting, “Master, please give me another name!”

Li Changshou chuckled in his heart.

I hope that you will not regret your Great Dao and look down on yourself.

Li Changshou could not say that. He only said, “I cultivate the Dao of Space Dispelling and comprehend the principles of space. I’ll call you Wukong. How about that?”

The stone monkey carefully pondered. “Wukong, Wukong... Wukong! Do I have a name too?”

Li Changshou nodded with a smile and flicked his horsetail whisk. A male disciple at the side reminded the stone monkey to take a seat in the corner. That would be considered the apprenticeship ceremony.

However, Monkey knew the rules. He knelt and kowtowed.

Li Changshou did not feel much. After all, the Daoist temple and the disciples there were all environments that were created for the growth of monkeys. He was only responsible for giving monkeys abilities.

Let the Heavenly Dao worry about the rest.

When Sun Wukong sat down, Li Changshou gestured for the disciples to stop chanting and began to explain the sutras.

How could Sun Wukong calm down?

Although he understood the words that came out of his master’s mouth, he felt dizzy when he put them together. They were even harder to understand than the old gentlemen’s sutras that were written in dialect.

However, Sun Wukong knew the rules and did not dare to say anything to disturb his fellow disciples’ cultivation. He only widened his eyes and looked left and right. Not long after, he fell asleep again. He was nodding like a chick pecking at rice, and his body was like a reed rod in the reed pond.

Soon, the sound of snoring could be heard.

Wukong had ruined the atmosphere of the classroom with his own strength.

Li Changshou almost burst into laughter in his heart. However, he looked serious and continued to explain the sutras.

The disciples were also quite happy, but they had to keep a straight face and feel a little uncomfortable.

When the sun set, Li Changshou’s figure dissipated with the wind. The disciples heaved a sigh of relief and surrounded the sleeping monkey.

“Junior Brother Wukong? Junior Brother Wukong?”

The male disciples looked at each other and smiled evilly. They pointed at Monkey and made him sleep deeper.

Half a day later...

“Yes?”

Monkey opened his eyes in a daze and realized that he was hanging on a tree. There were still some Dharma powers left in the rope that he was tied to.

He recalled the situation in his previous lesson and could not help but feel awkward. He turned around and saw that he was in the backyard of the Daoist temple. He heaved a sigh of relief.

Why did I fall asleep?

Why did I fall asleep?

It was very normal for him to not be able to keep up with the lessons during his first cultivation of Dao techniques. Why did he...

Buzz ~ Buzz ~

Monkey subconsciously trembled and looked up slightly. He could not help but swallow his saliva.

The rope that tied him to the tree trunk was less than three inches away from the rope. It was a beehive.

Why is Master’s punishment the same as me teasing the little monkey?

Sun Wukong looked left and right. When he saw that there was no one around, his body swayed like a fish. He slipped out of the ropes and disappeared.

That’s it?

Sun Wukong shrugged and touched the residence that he had previously recognized. However, he was secretly vexed about how he could follow the progress of his teacher’s lecture.

...

“Ah, it’s too boring to be a Marshal.”

Heavenly Courts, by the Heavenly River.

A newly promoted Water Marshal of the Heavenly River was dressed in light golden armor. He lay on the river bank of the Heavenly River, which was covered in green grass. He was holding a withered grass in his mouth and pretended to complain smugly.

Ao Yi, who was playing with the jade token in his hand, could not help but say, “It’s quite boring.”

Bian Zhuang squirmed over. “What’s wrong? Brother, what did you get promoted to?”

“The overall commander of the Heavenly Soldiers of the trichiliocosm.” Ao Yi shook his head slowly. “He’s not a high-ranking official. He wants me to take over Brother Golden Roc.”

“Golden Roc...”

Bian Zhuang muttered and came to a realization. “So that’s what happened.”

“Why?” Ao Yi frowned and asked.

“A few days ago, the Golden Roc got drunk and said something that he shouldn’t have said in front of everyone.” Bian Zhuang sighed and said, “This general has powerful abilities and remarkable abilities. He is definitely one of the top ten experts among the generals of the Heavenly Courts. However, he’s a little too arrogant.”

Ao Yi said, “General Golden Roc is not arrogant. He’s just a little indignant.”

Bian Zhuang said, “Why can’t I calm down? Isn’t the Heavenly Courts good enough for him?”

Ao Yi wanted to say something but hesitated. He looked thoughtful and shook his head in uncertainty.

Bian Zhuang asked again, “It’s strange. You are from the dragon race, and he is from the phoenix race. Dragons and phoenixes are arch-enemies. You still address him as elder brother and younger brother.”

“I feel that General Golden Roc is quite close to me,” Ao Yi said slowly. “The Great Tribulation of the Dragon and Phoenix is already an old matter. It’s been so long, and there’s no hatred that can’t be appeased. I’ve asked Father previously... Forget it.”

Ao Yi sighed softly and closed his eyes. However, he recalled the scene of him kneeling in front of his father a few days ago.

“Father, I feel that my Dao heart is missing something. I feel that the Heavenly Courts are very awkward now.”

“Father, did something happen previously...”

“Shut up and retreat.”

It was the same result again.

Ao Yi looked at the jade token in his palm and could not help but be in a daze.

Bian Zhuang chuckled and lay there with his arms on his back. He felt indescribably comfortable. He muttered, “How good would it be if I can see Fairy Heng’e again?”

Ao Yi smiled but did not say anything.

At the same time...

At the residence of Perfect Sovereign Erlang, Yang Jian, on E’mei Mountain.

Nezha, who had already cultivated to the appearance of a young man, peeled an orange and looked at the copper mirror in front of him with interest.

In the copper mirror, there were a few fairies dancing. This was a dance for the celebration. They could use it to dance.

If he were to dance for the Jade Emperor or the immortal peaches, he naturally could not rehearse in front of everyone.

Yang Jian sighed and carefully wiped the three pointed, double-edged spear.

Nezha suddenly said, “Senior Brother, my baneful aura might be acting up recently.”

Yang Jian’s hand trembled. The three pointed, double-edged spear almost made his Eight-Nine Arcane Body bleed.

“What symptoms? That’s not a small matter.”

“This...” Nezha was a little uncertain. He looked away from the copper mirror and looked at the roof. “A faint figure will always appear in my heart. From time to time, a few words will ring in my ears. It feels like the Fiend Ancestor is summoning.”

Yang Jian looked like he was facing a formidable enemy and said seriously, “Lie down properly. I’ll use my Heavenly Eye to take a look.”

“Don’t look around.” Nezha was a little embarrassed. “I’m not a brat anymore.”

Yang Jian chuckled and took out a scroll from his sleeve and placed it beside him.

He was engaged to a certain princess of the Dragon Palace. The princess had just broken out of her shell two years ago and was sent to the Jade Pool to be educated. She would get married a hundred years later.

The engagement was given by the Jade Emperor. He wanted Yang Jian to represent the dragon race and restrain the dragon race.

Yang Jian thought about it carefully and did not reject it. It was time for him to form a family. The other party only needed to be virtuous. He would not look down on them just because he was a human and the other party was a dragon.

At that moment, Yang Jian activated his Heavenly Eye and aimed it at Nezha’s forehead to see Nezha’s spiritual platform.

In an instant.

Yang Jian was first stunned before his face turned pale. His breathing quickened.

Nezha was puzzled. “Why...”

Yang Jian was quick-witted. He suddenly pressed Nezha’s mouth and immediately said, “Don’t speak. This murderous aura has already formed. Let’s go and find Master and Uncle-Master.”

Nezha did not understand, but Yang Jian looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He raised his spear and summoned the silly Howling Celestial Dog. Together with Nezha, they escaped towards the Qianyuan Mountain.

He saw the shadow floating in Nezha’s heart and suddenly recalled something his master had told him.

The taboo of the Heavenly Dao.

Anti-Heavens.

The forbidden living beings who had once pulled up the entire Heavenly Courts but were expelled by the Dao Ancestor were truly Taibai Jinxing.

Uncle Chang’an!
