Bamboo, Bamboo, I Have Insights Again!

One night, at the third watch.

Six Ears furtively opened his eyes beneath Green Bamboo. Turning sideways, he tilted his ears toward the west, his little face scrunched into a ball as he carefully eavesdropped on something.

"There are no Six Ears here?"

"Heh heh."

"Foolish Stone Monkey, how did you know that I, Six Ears, am formidable?!"

Six Ears seemed to hear something amusing. Baring his teeth, he muttered with both anger and laughter.

No more words.

He continued listening.

In an instant, he was utterly enthralled.

Only after a long while did he finally come back to himself, still wanting more.

With a guilty conscience, he glanced toward the west, then secretly looked at Green Bamboo beside him. Seeing that no one had noticed him, the monkey sighed in relief, chuckled, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

The next morning.

Lu Qingfeng was still cultivating when he heard the monkey shouting, "Bamboo, Bamboo, I had another insight in my cultivation yesterday. I'll tell you all about it!"

Six Ears was clever.

He had always been able to draw inferences from one example and was close to the Dao.

For these thirteen years.

Although Lu Qingfeng had taught Six Ears cultivation, Six Ears often gained insights of his own while cultivating the great methods and told Lu Qingfeng about them, allowing Lu Qingfeng to gain much as well.

His cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

Hearing Six Ears shouting now, Lu Qingfeng immediately shook his branches and said crisply, "I'm listening. Go ahead."

"Hmph!"

Six Ears put on airs. After clearing his throat, he clasped his hands behind his back and pointed at Green Bamboo. "You are fated today, and I am pleased to speak. Since you know how formidable I, Six Ears, am, come closer and listen carefully.
