Chapter 470: Chapter 426 Bodhi Ancestor Meets His Eldest Disciple Again

The Buddha who suddenly appeared was young, handsome, and exhibited a strong presence of Buddhahood.

Just by looking at this young Buddha, faces of Xuanzang and his companions all showed a trace of astonishment,

because none of them had sensed the slightest trace of this young Buddha’s presence before.

In other words, the Buddha had appeared before the group of four without a sound.

Clearly, the strength of this young Buddha was likely not to be trifled with.

Xuanzang and the others couldn’t help but look at the Buddha before them with some concern, not knowing what the other party intended to do.

However, it was Sun Wukong who looked at the young Buddha before him with a complex expression. Although the Buddha had lost his hair, shaved his head, and changed his Daoist robe for Buddhist garb, Sun Wukong still found him very familiar.

Back then, in the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave on Mount Fangcun.

This person was the Daoist boy, Qing Feng, following Patriarch Bodhi.

His elder disciple had once told him that Patriarch Bodhi was also one of those who had plotted against him.

Though he had never seen it before, now that he truly saw it, he was still somewhat surprised.

Perhaps Patriarch Bodhi had indeed intentionally waited for him back then, allowing him to go and learn from him.

Even sending him to deliver something to Buddhism was all part of their scheme.

Now that he saw this person again, Sun Wukong naturally harbored various indescribable emotions in his heart.

"So, it’s Elder Brother Qing Feng, long time no see!"

Now, Sun Wukong had gone through many things and his emotions fluctuated only momentarily; he quickly adjusted his mood and smiled at the young Buddha before him.

Upon hearing Sun Wukong’s greeting, Qing Feng felt a hint of amazement in his heart.

This monkey had changed quite a bit in disposition, not as impolite as he had been in the past. However, considering the monkey had now attained Buddhahood,

these little curiosities were but minor details for Qing Feng.

"Wukong, the Ancestral Master has sent me to invite you for a meeting!"

Qing Feng said with a smile to Sun Wukong.

Next, this monkey should be ecstatic, considering how deeply the Ancestral Master had favored him in the past.

Qing Feng thought to himself, as back then this monkey had refused to leave the mountain no matter what, and now he would finally meet the Ancestral Master, he ought to be emotionally excited.

Meanwhile, Qing Feng also looked forward to Sun Wukong’s reaction.

Unfortunately, to his confusion, Sun Wukong’s face did not show much fluctuation.

"Patriarch Bodhi?"

Sun Wukong asked with a playful tone, and then a sneer of mockery appeared on his lips as he spoke oddly, "Indeed, the Ancestral Master should see me!"

"Master, please wait here for a moment, I’ll go and meet with Patriarch Bodhi and come right back!"

Sun Wukong turned and spoke respectfully to Xuanzang, then approached Qing Feng.

To the side, Qing Feng, astonished to see the monkey so emotionally stable without a ripple, was momentarily stupefied.

Until Sun Wukong calmly said, "Elder Brother Qing Feng, let’s go!"

Only then did Qing Feng snap back to reality and lead Sun Wukong toward the rear hall of Mount Meru in a daze.

This isn’t right, why is this monkey so calm?

"Wukong, we have been following your experiences over these years!"

En route, Qing Feng tried to find some topics to chat with Sun Wukong about.

But Sun Wukong seemed very calm and showed little interest in Qing Feng’s topics, mostly just offering simple responses.

Afterward, Qing Feng no longer sought to entertain himself, and both fell into silence as they proceeded to the rear hall of Mount Meru.

Arriving before a Buddha Palace, Qing Feng halted his steps.

"Wukong, go inside, the Ancestral Master is waiting for you there!"

Sun Wukong nodded calmly and walked indifferently into the Buddha Palace.

Inside the Buddha Palace, other than more than a dozen huge pillars that could be embraced by several people, there was only a straw mat.

And on the straw mat, someone was sitting.

On the mat was Patriarch Bodhi, with whom Sun Wukong was extremely familiar.

"You macaque, you’ve finally arrived!"

Patriarch Bodhi opened his eyes, looked at Sun Wukong before him, and spoke in a gentle tone.

Just like back then.

Hearing Patriarch Bodhi’s words, Sun Wukong’s eyes momentarily flashed with memories of the teachings he had received from Subhuti Ancestral Master in the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave, and his eyes inexplicably grew somewhat misty.

"Ancestral Master!"

Sun Wukong knelt down at once and spoke respectfully to Patriarch Bodhi.

Patriarch Bodhi looked at the kneeling Sun Wukong and slowly nodded, then softly said to someone to the side, "Fellow Daoist, please come out!"

Then, beside Subhuti, a figure slowly walked out, his face identical to Subhuti’s.

However, on his head were layers of Buddhist knots, somewhat similar to Tathagata’s.

"Wukong, let me introduce you, this is Saint Zhunti, one of the founders of Buddhism! "

"As for your teacher, I’m merely a corporeal manifestation, a Good Corpse of Saint Zhunti. Back then, taking you as a disciple was also arranged by Saint Zhunti, who sent me to transform and save you!"

Patriarch Bodhi introduced with a smile to Sun Wukong, while Saint Zhunti looked at Sun Wukong with a benign and amiable countenance.

Beneath the straw mat, Sun Wukong glanced at Zhunti Daoist, whose face and kind smile were just like Subhuti Ancestral Master’s, yet Sun Wukong couldn’t muster the same reverential feelings for him as he had for Patriarch Bodhi.

"Ancestral Master, I’m already aware!"

At that moment, Sun Wukong lifted his head and spoke to Patriarch Bodhi with a calm expression.

Patriarch Bodhi’s face showed a flicker of astonishment, while Saint Zhunti looked on as if he had long expected this.
