Unexpectedly, more than a year has passed before I knew it.

Zhou Xuan was also quite emotional, time passed too fast.

"As a teacher, you have gained some Taoist skills, which is satisfactory to me, but -"

Hearing Zhou Xuan's tone, he paused.

The monkey was nervous. He was worried that he was not doing well enough and would make his master angry.

Although he studied very hard, working day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, the prestige of his master in his heart could be described as extraordinary.

Even a cough, a sigh, or an inadvertent movement will make the monkey pay attention.

So when the subject changed, the monkey became frightened and a little panicked.

Sensing the monkey's nervousness, Zhou Xuan smiled: "Don't be alarmed. It's not that I'm dissatisfied with you, it's just that when you come to this Queen of Taixu, you eat three meals a day, fruits from the trees, and water in the water."

It’s just a bit of a pity that it’s a swimming fish.”

"ah?"

The monkey was stunned.

He didn't expect that the master would sigh for food, which surprised him.

After all, in his mind, the master is a god who sits on a high cloud platform and teaches nature. For such a god, the monkey should think that he doesn't care too much about food.

However, the master and the great god in his fantasy were different.

Knowing what the monkey was thinking, Zhou Xuan said happily: "Food is the most important thing for people, and it is human nature to satisfy their appetites. Even gods and saints will covet spiritual roots, fine wines, and delicacies from mountains and seas. Could it be that I am a teacher who covets oral food?"

Are you disappointed?"

Zhou Xuan said half-jokingly.

But in fact, he knows that generally speaking, if a teacher is too arrogant, it will easily give people fear and timidity.

Appropriately revealing some of your own shortcomings can effectively shorten the distance between you and your disciples and give people a sense of closeness.

Recently, he felt more and more that the monkey feared him so much that he became humble in front of him.

This is actually not a good thing.

A true master and disciple must maintain a certain sense of distance, but not too far away.

So Zhou Xuan did not hide this point, but said it directly.

The monkey nodded and soon became convinced.

The master was a deity in the sky before and ate dragon liver, phoenix marrow, nectar and jade liquid. However, in order to preach to him, he endured a year of pureed rice with dusty vegetables in the Taixu Heaven. He was really moved.

And the hardships he endured through his efforts were nothing compared to the fatigue his master suffered.

Suddenly, the monkey realized that the Master was not only ten thousand feet tall, but also illuminated by the stars, the sun and the moon, making him look even more sacred.

"Master!"

"Disciple, I am ashamed!"

The monkey was so moved that the tip of his nose became sore and he bowed directly to Zhou Xuanna.

Zhou Xuan, on the other hand, is calm and gentle. He knows very well about things like sensationalism. It is important not to overdo it, otherwise it will be embarrassing.

After all, he had experienced excessive sensationalism in his previous life.

I often recall that in junior high school, the school would invite an eloquent social figure to give a speech in front of the whole school, telling the students how difficult it is for teachers and how difficult it is for their parents, and let the students in the audience thank their teachers and their parents.

Every time, the underage students burst into tears and burst into tears of gratitude. Some even knelt down in front of their parents and cried, vowing to study hard and honor their ancestors.

But in fact, after this kind of speech, students should skip classes and surf the Internet, and there will be no changes at all.

On the contrary, that social figure who was very eloquent sold a lot of books.

Therefore, you can sensationalize, but don’t overdraw the effectiveness of sensationalism, lest it become a three-minute hit.

Just let the monkey remember it.

The more they feel incompetent, the more guilty the students will feel, and the more motivated they will be to repay the teacher's kindness.

If you want someone to work hard, you don't have to use a whip to drive them away, but you need to give the other person the drive from within.

It's so sensational that it won't offend people.

He waved his hand and said relaxedly: "It doesn't matter, it's just a year. Don't feel bad, little grandson, lest it affect your Taoist heart."

Having said that, Zhou Xuan found that he had not given his apprentice a good name, and it was not easy to pronounce.

I chose the name "Xiao Sun" a year ago purely for convenience and without thinking too much. The principle is actually similar to naming your own cat or dog.

But now that I'm familiar with it, it feels inappropriate to call it that.

"Um……"

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Xuandao said: "You have been here with me for a year, and you have neither a Taoist title nor a name. Let me give you a new name for my master!"

"Please also ask Master to give me a name!"

Monkey's eyes suddenly lit up. He actually had nothing to complain about the previous name. He just felt that the master's name was too casual and he never thought that the master would mention it again.

Since the master has said that it should be renamed, he is naturally happy to see it happen.

It's just that the monkey is suspicious of this.

Although the master's magical powers are unparalleled and his teachings are famous throughout the world, he may not be able to have a famous name.

Therefore, he felt a little uneasy, fearing that his master would give him another name like "Da Hu" or "Ah Hou".

Zhou Xuan only thought for a moment before giving the answer.

"I have three names here, you can choose one yourself."

Um?

Three names?

The monkey's jaw dropped.

Master probably didn't think about it carefully at all.

Licking his lips, the monkey was frightened because he felt that the master's naming skills were really not very good.

But fortunately, there are three options. No matter what, at least there are choices, and it is impossible for all three names to be so bad.

Thinking like this, the monkey said with a grimace: "Master, what are the three names?"

He only hoped that these three names were not random thoughts when the master was in a daze.

Zhou Xuan was indeed confident and said slowly: "These three names all have great origins, please listen carefully!

The first name is Kakarot!"

"ah?"

The monkey tilted his head, and there would be countless things to say for a while. This name... the style of the painting feels a little wrong?

"Master, what does this name mean?"

"No," Zhou Xuan admitted truthfully, "Kakarot is a spiritual monkey in ancient times, existing in the two-dimensional spiritual world... I see you don't like it very much, and besides, this name doesn't suit you very well.

, make a backup first.”

The monkey was just breathing a sigh of relief when he heard Zhou Xuan's voice again, "The second name is called Six Little Soul Boys!"

"Well……"

The monkey pursed his lips, somewhat speechless.

Soul boy?

This sounds similar to the boy under the cactus.

There's no real sense of style.

"Master, could this name also be that of a certain innate monkey from ancient times, one of my seniors?"

"Almost." Zhou Xuan nodded slightly.

However, this name is not suitable for this hericium. After all, when mentioning this name, it is easy to think of the grandfather, and the old man traveled through time and became his apprentice. No matter how you think about it, it feels very inconsistent.

Inappropriate, still inappropriate.

After thinking about it, Zhou Xuan had no choice but to name the last one.

"Since you don't like the first two, then you can call me Wukong. I called you Xiao Sun before, and Sun is your last name. Your full name is Sun Wukong."

"Wukong...Sun Wukong."

Suddenly, the name flashed like a thunderbolt, hitting the monkey's heart accurately and shocking him.

For some reason, the three words "Sun Wukong" seemed to have a magic power that made him remember them endlessly after hearing them. Like Huang Zhong Dalu, they kept echoing in his mind.

It seems that from the moment he was born, he was Sun Wukong!

Sun Wukong is the name that will accompany him throughout his life!
