It's two o'clock in the morning, and there is still an hour before going back.

They sat in the living room and chatted, chewing milk candy while drinking the instant coffee that Chen Chu made for the two of them.

"Chen Chu, I have a few questions to ask you."

“What’s the problem?”

"Is there really no god in your world?"

"No." Chen Chu said confidently, "There is only science in this world. Science can replace some productivity. If there is something that cannot be replaced, it means that science is not developed enough, but sooner or later this writing will be replaced."

"The power of technology is really great." Hao couldn't help but sigh, "Everyone here has a long life. People run around every day not for survival but for better life. Even without religion, they can find their own beliefs, with their country, their families, and themselves..."

"Yes, this is a great world, how about it? Will you stay as an ordinary person if you have the chance? If you stay, you will definitely become a superior person soon."

This is true. It would be a pity to do scientific research based on Hao's IQ.

"Can you go back?"

"Can't go back."

"Hahaha!" Hao laughed twice: "I don't, I'm doing it well in the Jade Emperor in Heaven. Why do you come here to find a grievance?"

"Where is the Bodhi Patriarch?" Chen Chu looked at Bodhi again.

"I won't stay either." Bodhi Patriarch shook his head: "Although this place is good, it's just new to me. And there is another disadvantage in this world, that is, it's too noisy."

Seeing the two of them say this, Chen Chu had nothing to say. To be honest, if Chen Chu could live forever in the mythical world, he probably wouldn't have stayed here. Although life has become much more convenient, many things can be replaced by magic, and these convenient technologies will be like this after getting used to it.

Otherwise, why do many people now envy pastoral life?

After all, I am just lazy. If you can use spells to achieve it, who will go to work to earn electricity bills, money to buy houses, and money to make money to give money to you?

"Everyone pursues a different life." Chen Chu said.

Suddenly, Master Bodhi asked a question hesitated before: "Do you say that the world we live in is really just a story compiled by a man?"

This made him very concerned.

He has been practicing Taoism for a long time. Although he has read the story and painting books in the bookstore, he knows some things in his heart, but he is not very comfortable in his heart.

Chen Chu figured this out as early as when she was in the copy of Mulan: "You must have read those books. They have written very clearly about your life trajectory, but I don't think we need to care about this. This is the environment we live in. There was a thought in science that all worlds are layered and layered here. Your story is flat here. But who can tell that the world we are in is not a word book in another world? An ordinary author who is just a little handsome wrote a story about us, and then countless readers were laughing and scolding at this book. Perhaps our current conversation is also part of the content, and the people we know are the characters of a book friend?"

"And when they see this, they may also vote for recommendations or monthly tickets that they are about to get moldy when they are left to encourage the authors?"

"By the way, there is another point." Chen Chu suddenly thought of a more convincing point: "You are all immortals with great cultivation, and I am just a mortal who has mastered some simple techniques, but I can bring you here. This may be the ability given to me by an ordinary author who is just a little handsome."

This statement is very philosophical. If you have to summarize it, Chen Chu thinks that using Russian dolls may be more appropriate.

There is never an end.

"It's like two opposite mirrors. None of us knows which layer of the mirror we belong to."

The two nodded thoughtfully as they heard this: "Then why are you asking for a master Bodhi Patriarch?"

“Because I want to change.”

"Change?"

"Change Goku?"

"That's right, actually the same is true for bringing you here this time. He is the protagonist in a book called Journey to the West. It's so difficult to change the protagonist's story. In the original story, he was not a strong man in the end, and I don't think we will overcome those 'enemy's in hundreds of years, so it would be great with your help."

"How come you are sure we will help you?"

"After all, this has no substantial benefits for us, and perhaps there are disadvantages."

Chen Chu scratched his head: "The advantage cannot be said to be none. It can only be said that this is a double-edged sword. Everyone is curious about the unknown. Perhaps these unknowns will cause very bold variables. Such a future will eventually become healthy. Speaking of which, it may be a little disrespectful to you immortals and gods, but I think everyone's beliefs should be free to choose without having clothes and food. People are hungry everywhere on earth. They choose to believe in immortals and gods, but immortals and gods cannot bring them food and cotton coats. They just harvest faith and strengthen themselves. When they give alms occasionally, people will be grateful, but are they really happy?

If you have to say good things, it is the benefit to the creatures represented, passively accepted and selected.

Actually, this is very selfish, but I am a human being and I will definitely stand on the standpoint of human beings and myself.”

Hao nodded and said he could understand: "In fact, it doesn't count. There are still differences between these two worlds. We have the six realms of reincarnation, and the reincarnation body will be judged based on the merits and sins of the previous life."

"So your world may be more reasonable after it changes."

While talking, the time had come. When the clock in the living room jumped to 3:11:027 in the morning, Chen Chu's figure sitting on the sofa suddenly leaned backwards as if he had been medicine, while Hao and Bodhi disappeared.

......

When they returned to the Bodhi Patriarch's Zen Room again.

Everything around them has not changed, and the two of them also felt that their bodies were filled with abundant magic power again, and their control of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and the familiar sense of power returned to their bodies.

Hao and Bodhi began to work hard to deduce Chen Chu's world at the first time, but unfortunately they got nothing. It seems that they are really the same as the book theory mentioned before.

"Chen Chu, I'll ask you, are you really willing to join me?"

Bodhi Patriarch opened his mouth and said in a desperate situation.

Chen Chu nodded: "Take it seriously." Then he kowtowed three times with the ceremony of apprenticeship: "Master is here, please accept a prayer from my disciple!"

"Okay, okay." Bodhi Patriarch touched his beard: "But there is one thing I have to explain to you. You can learn anything you want to learn from me, but after you become a master, we have nothing to do anymore. What you want to do is related to, and I will not be more involved in cause and effect."

"Abide by the teacher's order!" Chen Chu kowtowed again.

Until now, Chen Chu has been worshipped by Bodhi.

Hao didn't say much after he came back. Obviously, this short journey brought him a great impact.

And what Chen Chu said.

Is it for the prosperity of the mortal world or the status of immortals and gods?

Hao doesn't know how to make a decision now.

In the end, he didn't say much, just said something and left.

Chen Chu knew that such things were too urgent, so it was a small matter to ask Hao for help. Hao was curious about him, and the things he asked for were not big things.

But this time it is very likely to shake the foundation of the Heavenly Court.

Not only the Heavenly Court, but also the three realms may be turbulent. The status of the Ghost Palace in the Immortal Realm has suffered a severe blow, and the Buddhist believers have been greatly reduced. The power of incense and vows may be cut off in half.

Let the other party go back and think about it again. Even if everyone can’t stand on the same side in the future, Chen Chu will understand.

Chen Chu came out of Bodhi's Zen Room, and Sun Wukong had been waiting outside for a long time.

I just saw a big man entering, and my senior brothers all said it was the Jade Emperor, but Sun Wukong didn't care about these things. He only cared about whether Chen Chu could be taken to the disciple.

"How is it?" Sun Wukong came over and asked.

"Why should I call you senior brother now? Or junior brother?" Chen Chu replied.

The good news made Sun Wukong happily scratch his ears and cheeks, jumping up and down, and flipping several times. This was also a rare time when Sun Wukong showed his original posture in Fangcunshan for so long.

After a while, Sun Wukong calmed down, put a hairy hand on Chen Chu's shoulder, and said seriously: "This is a matter of seniority, so logically you should call me a senior brother."

Chen Chu slapped her hair and opened her hair hand: "Can that be calculated like this? It should be calculated based on which of us stepped into this cave first. It was my left foot that stepped in first."

"Hey, you can't say that." Sun Wukong smiled and said, "You are not at a disadvantage. We will discuss our own opinions from now on. I will call you brother from now on, and you call me senior brother."

"..." Chen Chu.

"It's time for dinner, I'll go to have a meal. I won't talk nonsense with you." After that, Chen Chu walked outside.

At this time, Sun Wukong chased outside and shouted, "Brother, how much do you eat, senior brother, help you serve!"

Then, one person and one monkey disappeared into the yard.

Only Master Bodhi looked out the window, not knowing whether it was good or bad to accept these two disciples.

.....

Another year has passed, and Chen Chu tells stories to his senior brothers every day as usual, and Chen Chu's identity has been recognized by everyone. This junior brother is good-looking, has a gentle temper, can tell stories, and speaks nicely. It's not too much to give some spiritual pills to the other party every day, right?

Isn’t it a natural thing to take care of the junior brother?

One day, Master Bodhi came out to check, and then found that everyone was listening to Chen Chu telling stories, so he walked out with a stern face.

"You don't practice well, and listen to some irrelevant stories of strange ambitions here all day long. It's really good to do it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, many senior brothers immediately looked shaking!

Oops!

Master is angry!

It's been seven or eight years, why did you say it at this time?

However, after all, the master is a master. He was caught on the spot and listened to it, just like a child playing games and being caught on the spot by his parents.

It wasn't that I didn't say it before, I was just too lazy to say it.

Everyone stood in a row and waited for the Bodhi Patriarch's advice.

"I accepted you two as my disciples, and I didn't ask you to tell stories. I didn't know how to cultivate myself and cultivate my character, which really disappointed me!"

Sun Wukong was a little confused, but Chen Chu knew that the other party was acting.

As expected, after a long period of admonition, Master Bodhi knocked Chen Chu and Sun Wukong three times each as punishment, and then turned around and left with a stern face.

Afterwards, the senior brothers said that it was not that they would not come out to resist the burden, but that the master did not like to hear the boundaries. If they had the chance in the future, they would say good things to these two junior brothers.
To be continued...
