Late at night, Zhen Yuan Daisen was cultivating in the main hall.
The door of the Fifth Manor creaked open, and the disciples walked in quietly and were about to walk to their residences.
"Stop." Great Immortal Zhenyuan opened his eyes and said, "What are you doing going out early and coming back late every day?"
The disciples were shocked.
"Master, please forgive us."
They hurriedly knelt in front of Zhen Yuan Daisen and said, "We went to Huaguo Mountain to play."
It was really not that they liked to play, but Huaguo Mountain was really too fun.
Zhen Yuan Daisen snorted coldly. "I've long guessed it."
He had long discovered that these disciples were fascinated by Huaguo Mountain.
They were all little immortals who had been living in the Fifth Manor to accompany him. They had never seen such a prosperous place like Huaguo Mountain, so it was normal for them to be fascinated.
Huaguo Mountain had delicious food, fun, and beautiful things to see, which could instantly arouse the appetite and eyes of these disciples.
"Play is play, but don't neglect your cultivation."
Zhen Yuan Daisen said.
Seeing that he was not angry, the disciples immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
"Master, no wonder you didn't want to leave Huaguo Mountain before. This place is really too fun."
A bold Daoist boy couldn't help but complain, "Why didn't you bring us here earlier?"
They regretted not coming to Huaguo Mountain earlier.
Zhen Yuan Daisen was furious. "You disciples go out to play every day and don't even know how to bring back some food for me. What right do you have to complain?"
The disciples immediately shrank their heads.
"Since you want to eat, Master, you can go out to eat."
"Go out?
Do you want me to go back on my word? "
Zhen Yuan Daisen was still angry. "I said that I would go into seclusion, so I will go into seclusion for a few years."
The disciples stopped talking and didn't dare to contradict him.
They obediently bought food for Zhen Yuan Daisen. Two days later, a disciple accidentally mentioned something.
"Master, Elder Golden Cicada of the temple has come out of seclusion."
"What!"
Zhen Yuan Daisen's expression changed slightly. He immediately picked up his horsetail whisk and walked out of the Daoist temple.
He hadn't paid attention to Mount Huaguo for some time, but the Golden Cicada had actually appeared.
"Where is Elder Golden Cicada now?"
Zhen Yuan Daisen asked casually.
The disciples hurriedly replied, "I think he went to listen to the Monkey King's sermon."
Zhen Yuan Daisen nodded and left on a cloud.
"Master has come out of seclusion."
The disciples were surprised. Didn't Master say that he was going into seclusion?
How could he come out of seclusion just like that?
Forget it.
"Now that Master is out of seclusion, can we continue to play in Mount Huaguo?"
"That's right."
"Let's go!"
They happily ran to the Six Blessings Island.
Zhen Yuan Daisen rode on the clouds. In less than two minutes, he saw the familiar dojo surrounded by a white dragon.
The White Dragon was surrounded by auspicious Qi. Its body was faintly discernible in the clouds, as if it was about to ascend to heaven at any moment.
"So she was listening to the sermon."
Zhen Yuan Daisen nodded to himself.
The Monkey King preached to Ao Luan. It was only a matter of time.
Zhen Yuan Daisen descended from the clouds and saw the Golden Cicada sitting next to the Monkey King. He seemed to be listening to the sermon as well.
However, the Monkey King was focused on his sermon and didn't seem to care about the Golden Cicada.
Zhen Yuan Daisen walked over and asked, "Elder, why did you come out of seclusion?"
"Amitabha."
The Golden Cicada pressed his palms together and said, "This Penniless Monk was meditating when a leaf suddenly flew into his eyelid. This Penniless Monk then realized that he was lost."
Zhen Yuan Daisen immediately smiled, "Was that leaf A Worthy Younger Brother's doing?"
"Of course."
The Golden Cicada nodded. It turned out that when the Monkey King was giving pointers to Ao Luan, he had also given pointers to the Golden Cicada.
"Then why did you go into seclusion for so many years?"
Zhen Yuan Daisen continued to ask, "Didn't you gain nothing?"
"That's not the case."
The Golden Cicada shook his head. He had already comprehended some principles, but he had thought too deeply into it. In the end, he was immersed in it and couldn't escape. Fortunately, the Monkey King woke him up.
"I have some comprehensions, but to achieve the Dao, I still need to observe for a period of time at Mount Huaguo."
The Golden Cicada said.
Zhen Yuan Daisen was unhappy but he didn't say anything. He sat down and listened to the Monkey King's sermon with the Golden Cicada.
Although the Monkey King was speaking to Ao Luan about the Dao, it was also enlightening for Zhen Yuan Daisen and the Golden Cicada. The two listened while cultivating. Unknowingly, a few days had passed.
One morning, the Monkey King suddenly stopped his sermon.
"Great Immortal, Elder, there are many matters to attend to at Mount Huaguo. I have to go back to deal with them."
He said, "Ao Luan is naturally intelligent. You two can teach her the rest of the principles."
Zhen Yuan Daisen and the Golden Cicada nodded. "Go."
The Monkey King then got up and flew away. Zhen Yuan Daisen took over from him and continued to teach Ao Luan about the Dao.
Although Ao Luan was unhappy, she still listened attentively.
Sun Wukong returned to the Water Curtain Cave and saw the four old monkeys with anxious expressions on their faces.
"Don't worry, let me handle it."
Without waiting for the old monkeys to say anything, the Monkey King took over the work that he had been doing for the past few days.
It was already evening when he finished his work. The Monkey King looked at the peak of the mountain. It was the Golden Cicada's turn to give his sermon.
The Monkey King thought for a moment and used the Earth Shrinking Technique. He appeared on the Six Blessings Island and found the Jade Faced Fox.
The Jade Faced Fox was chatting with Rakshasa's Daughter. When they saw him, they hurriedly bowed.
The Monkey King raised his hand to stop them. He asked the Jade Faced Fox, "How are the disciples of the Great Deity?"
"Just like what the Great Deity said."
The Jade Faced Fox replied.
The Monkey King asked her to call the disciples over.
The disciples came over. They were still indifferent to the Monkey King.
"I have a library that has just been built. I hope you can help me with the work."
The Monkey King said to them.
The disciples were obviously unwilling. "Why should we listen to you?"
"You didn't even give us a single coin when you were on the Flowerfruit Mountain."
The Monkey King gestured to the Jade Faced Fox. The Jade Faced Fox started to calculate the expenses of the disciples in front of him.
She came up with a shocking number.
The disciples felt a little guilty.
"I'll take care of you, but I won't allow you to be so wasteful."
The Monkey King continued, "Should I ask the Great Deity for this sum of money?"
The disciples instantly panicked. Their faces turned pale.
If Zhen Yuan Daisen knew that they owed so much money, he would definitely beat them up until they couldn't stand up.
"Are you willing to work in the library?"
The Monkey King asked again.
Although the disciples were unwilling, they still nodded in agreement. "We are willing."
The Monkey King couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Money was truly terrifying.
He then said to the jade-faced fox, "Write off all their past expenses."
The disciples were stunned. They didn't expect the Monkey King to write off their expenses.
With the carrot and stick, the disciples no longer had any other thoughts. They decided to work in peace.
Actually, they already knew that if they didn't find a job in the Flowerfruit Mountain, they wouldn't be able to continue playing here.
