Wang Mang was ecstatic. He had succeeded!
He immediately kowtowed respectfully and said excitedly, “Thank you, Master!”
This was Wang Mang’s first time acknowledging a master, and he had gotten a great one!
Not only would he be able to learn skills, but he finally had a backer, which was imperative to survive in this world. Now that he had become Patriarch Subhuti’s disciple, he had someone to rely on.
He snapped back to his senses when he heard Patriarch Subhuti say, “Find a seat in the first row and sit down.”
BoxNovel.com“There are no rules in my sect, but you must remember not to deceive your master, or bring shame to our ancestors!”
“Disciple will remember this.”
Wang Mang nodded respectfully. However, he also immediately realized that something was wrong!
At this moment, the room was completely silent. He quietly glanced around and noticed that many of his fellow disciples were looking at him with envy.
What the f*ck? What was going on? What was there to be jealous about?
However, he still quietly took his seat in front of Patriarch Subhuti.
After Wang Mang sat down, Patriarch Subhuti continued his lecture, “The Dao of the Five Elements is divided into complementary Daos, such as water and fire, and Yin and Yang…”
Damn…
Wang Mang had to admit that he did not understand what was being taught. After all, he had not learned any traditional Daoist techniques.
Basically, all of his divine powers had been forcefully fed into his mind by the system. Thus, all of this was completely foreign to him.
Of course, more importantly, this Dao of the Five Elements was not particularly attractive to Wang Mang. Still, he did his best to appear attentive, though he did not take much in.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
During this past half a month, Patriarch Subhuti had never stopped teaching, and Wang Mang had listened listlessly.
Honestly, Patriarch Subhuti had already noticed how absent-minded Wang Mang was. He could tell that Wang Mang was simply pretending to understand and had not really comprehended anything.
It seemed that this fellow was not interested in the basics, and would not truly start paying attention to his words until he started teaching the disciples a powerful technique.
However, this was not the time for that yet. He still had to teach this fellow a good lesson!
“Wu Tian, were you listening to what 1 said?”
Wu Tian was the Daoist name given to Wang Mang by Patriarch Subhuti. The meaning behind it was in hopes that Wang Mang would be enlightened and revere heaven and earth!
Of course, the reverence for heaven and earth here referred to Dao, which was the Heavenly Dao!
To be honest, the Daoist name Patriarch Subhuti had given him had given Wang Mang a fright.
Wu Tian?
This was too similar to Wutian, who was the antagonist in the second part of Journey to the West!
Realizing that he had been called upon, Wang Mang snapped back to his senses, and then nodded respectfully. “Master, your disciple was listening.”
“Hmm?” Patriarch Subhuti asked out of nowhere, “Very well. A question then. If the Dao is natural, what is the meaning behind it?”
Wang Mang was stumped, and so embarrassed that he could not say anything. He had not listened to anything in the first place.
In the past, his master would not ask questions, so this sudden question had indeed caught him off guard.
How would he know the meaning behind the natural Dao?
There were several levels involved here, and each level involved different insights. Thus, how could Wang Mang know the true answer?
“This… Master, the natural Dao is… is…”
Wang Mang muttered for a long time, but still could not give an answer, which made the other disciples laugh.
They were obviously aware that Wang Mang had been daydreaming the entire time and not listening to the lecture.
Honestly, this made these fellow disciples even more jealous. This fellow was not even paying attention to the lecture, so what right did he have to become a personal disciple?
After all, Patriarch Subhuti’s question naturally meant that Patriarch Subhuti valued him greatly.
This was also what they were extremely unwilling to accept, and even jealous of.
“You’re innately stubborn and are unwilling to learn these basic and foundational Daos.”
“Whether or not you come to listen to this old Daoist’s sermon in the future is up to you. Sit down!”
With that said, Patriarch Subhuti continued his lecture.
As for Wang Mang, he sat down awkwardly.
Right at this moment, Patriarch Subhuti suddenly said to someone beside him,
“Go and bring the monkey outside the door to see me.”
Wang Mang was shocked.
F*ck! No way!
Could it be that Brother Monkey was already here?
He had only been here for half a month!
While Wang Mang was muttering to himself, he saw the person return with a golden-haired monkey.
This monkey stood upright like a human and wore a jade robe. Its eyes were filled with intelligence as it looked around curiously.
Patriarch Subhuti suddenly asked, “What are you doing here?”
What the f*ck? Was this the same script as a TV series?
Sun Wukong nervously looked at Patriarch Subhuti and said nervously, “I’m here to learn from Master.”
Hearing this, Patriarch Subhuti fell silent.
Seeing this, Brother Monkey immediately became anxious and hurriedly said, “Master, please accept me as your disciple.”
He knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. His head made loud sounds.
Unfortunately, no matter how much Brother Monkey kowtowed, Patriarch Subhuti narrowed his eyes and acted as if he did not see anything.
While kowtowing, Brother Monkey pleaded in a low voice, “Master, 1 beg you.
Please accept me as a disciple!”
After a long while, Patriarch Subhuti slowly nodded.
“Fine! You were born from a stone, nameless and without a surname. From now on, your Daoist name will be Sun Wukong!”
Hearing this, Sun Wukong was overjoyed and laughed out loud.
“Ahaha! Master accepted me! 1 have a name! From now on, 1 will be called Sun Wukong!”
