Chapter 9: Who is the Woodcutter?
"The woodcutter's insights on the cultivation of the Huang Ting scripture, the woodcutter?" Sun Wukong scratched his face, deep in thought.
At that time, when he first arrived at Magic Square Mountain, it was the woodcutter who had shown him the way, only then did he find the Three Star Cave.
Later, when he was cleaning and fetching water at Magic Square Mountain, he often went to the back mountain to chop wood. Over those seven years, he had seen the woodcutter many times, yet had not realized that he was a cultivator.
"This fellow is not straightforward." Sun Wukong had never thought deeply about it before, but now, upon careful consideration, he realized this person was no ordinary man.
Magic Square Mountain, the Three Star Cave on the slanting moon, this place was truly a celestial dwelling.
If the woodcutter was merely a mortal, how could he chop wood anywhere on the back mountain as if entering an uninhabited territory, and also understand so much about the situation of the Three Star Cave?
"I must probe into this whenever I get the chance." Sun Wukong thought, and another idea struck him, "Hmm, I wonder if the friends on Zhihu know about the woodcutter?"
With this thought, he immediately opened the Persuasion System and posted a new question on Zhihu.
"I am Sun Wukong, may I ask if seniors here know about the woodcutter from Magic Square Mountain?"
Without waiting long, there was a response from a netizen.
BroadSword606: "Magic Square Mountain is the base of Patriarch Bodhi, the woodcutter, if human, had no chance to freely chop wood on the mountain, so there's only one possibility—he must be a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi."
