The stone monkey ran through the forest and jumped in the mountain stream. It was very happy. As he was walking, he suddenly saw a pool in front of him. The waves were as flat as a mirror, and the water was so clear that he could see the bottom. The stone monkey came to the side of the pool and used the pool as a mirror to look at his own reflection in the water. He muttered to himself,"Who am I? What is my name?"
He stayed by the pool for a while. Through the surface of the water, he saw countless colorful pebbles at the bottom of the pool. He felt that it was fun, so he jumped into the water, bent down, and reached out to touch them. He took out the pebbles from the water one by one and looked at them carefully. Some of the pebbles were green, some were bright red, and some were bright red. Some of them were as white as snow…and they were very beautiful. The stone monkey couldn't bear to part with it, so it took turns to pinch the pebbles under its armpits, wanting to grab a few more to bring to the shore to play. After repeating this process for an hour, the stone monkey still had two pebbles under its armpits. When the stone monkey once again picked up a sparkling and translucent green crystal from the water, it was startled. It seemed familiar, so it raised it up and shone it against the sun. However, just as he raised his hand, the two pebbles under his armpit fell into the water again. Looking at the splashing water in the pool, the Stone Monkey held the green crystal in his hand. It seemed to have understood something. He hurriedly walked to the side of the pool and placed the green crystal on a flat stone platform beside the pool. After a while, a pile of colorful pebbles of various shapes and sizes was piled up on the stone platform.
The stone monkeys were in high spirits and were not tired of it. Just as they were working hard, they suddenly heard a "whoosh" and dozens of macaques came out of the forest. These macaques quickly surrounded the pool and bared their fangs and brandished their claws at the stone monkey, shouting with ill intentions. One of the monkeys, who was obviously tall and strong, stood by the stone platform and bent down to grab a pebble. He shouted at the stone monkey,"Where did this wild monkey come from? How dare you come to our territory to cause trouble!”
The stone monkey suddenly saw so many animals that looked so similar to him. He immediately surrounded the pool and cried out at him. Not only was he not afraid, but he was also a little happy to see his own kind. As the saying goes,"People speak, and beasts speak." He looked around at the monkeys and looked at the monkey king who was holding a pebble and showing off to him."I was transformed from that strange rock by the seaside at the foot of the mountain. I have no parents. When I walked here just now, I saw the colorful pebbles at the bottom of the pool and thought it was fun, so I played here.”
As soon as the stone monkey finished speaking, the surrounding monkeys immediately began to shout loudly. The one holding the pebble was the monkey king of this group of monkeys. Just now, he was afraid that the stone monkey was taller than him and did not dare to take the risk to attack the stone monkey first."This monkey might be a lone stray monkey from the outside. From his words, it seems to be a lone fool with some mental problems. Only a fool can grow into such a tall figure. As the monkey king, if I don't attack this lone monkey that has invaded my territory, how will I be able to show my might in front of the monkeys in the future?”Thinking of this, the monkey king no longer hesitated. He decisively threw the pebble in his hand at the stone monkey standing in the water and shouted,"Wild monkeys without parents, get out of Flowerfruit Mountain!”
The stone monkey had encountered so many of its own kind as soon as it was born. It originally wanted to show its goodwill to the monkeys, hoping to become one of them. However, it did not expect that the entire group of monkeys would scream and provoke it. Just as it was puzzled, the leader of the monkeys had already thrown a red pebble at it. The stone monkey was unhurried. It only waited until the pebble reached its chest and was about to touch the fur on its body before turning slightly to the side, allowing the pebble to brush past the fur on its chest and fall into the water from under its armpit. Because the monkey king had used too much strength, the pebble actually stirred up a three-foot-high splash in the water. The surrounding monkeys thought that the pebble thrown by the monkey king would hit the stone monkey accurately, but unexpectedly, when the pebble was about to hit the stone monkey, the stone monkey turned its body slightly and calmly avoided the pebble. The group of monkeys were stunned when they saw this. They all secretly applauded the Stone Monkey's agility. They all stopped crying at the same time and looked curiously and quietly at the Stone Monkey in the water.
The Monkey King usually stood under the tree. Even if it was a small date on the treetop, he could easily knock it down with a stone. However, when he saw that the pebbles he had thrown with all his strength had already hit the silly monkey's chest, he could not help but feel embarrassed and angry. He bent down and threw the pebbles that the silly monkey had placed on the stone platform at the stone monkey one by one. The hatching stones shot out like cannonballs at the stone monkey standing in the water. The stone monkey dodged while shouting at the monkey king,"I just want to be friends with you. Why are you treating me like this?
The Monkey King saw that the pebbles he threw with all his strength had already hit the Stone Monkey's chest, but he had actually dodged them with ease. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed and angry. He bent down and threw the pebbles that the Stone Monkey had placed on the stone platform at the Stone Monkey one after another. The hatching stones shot out like cannonballs at the stone monkey standing in the water. The stone monkey dodged while shouting at the monkey king,"I just want to be friends with you. Why are you treating me like this?”
When the monkey king saw that none of the pebbles he threw had touched the stone monkey, he could not help but feel a little frightened. However, the attack had already begun, and he could not stop until the victor was determined. He didn't think too much about it and replied,"You foreign thieving monkey, how dare you trespass into our territory!”As he spoke, his body had already leaped into the air. His hands formed a pincer shape in the air and clamped down on the stone monkey's neck in the water.
When the stone monkey met its own kind, it was overjoyed. It had originally wanted to become friends with the monkey group, but it had endured it again and again, and had actually attracted the monkey king's attacks. Seeing the Monkey King pouncing on him like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, with the intention of killing him, the Stone Monkey could not help but feel angry. Therefore, he did not dodge anymore. He gently raised his right arm to block the Monkey King's hands that were aimed at his neck. At the same time, his left hand quickly stretched forward and grabbed the Monkey King's neck that was flying towards him. With a sudden force, there was a crisp "crack" sound. The Monkey King's throat had been snapped. The stone monkey did not stop. Its left hand, which had already slid down, took the opportunity to support the monkey king's abdomen. At the same time, it exerted strength with both arms and shouted loudly. It threw the monkey king's body toward the group of monkeys watching by the pool.
Normally, the Monkey King could do a beautiful flip in the air and then land steadily. But now that its throat was broken and nine of its ten souls had been lost, it could only wait for death. Seeing the Monkey King's body flying over, the group of monkeys hurriedly dodged to the side and escaped. They heard a " crack " sound. The Monkey King's head did not tilt, but it happened to hit a protruding mountain rock. Immediately, its brain burst out, and the remaining soul disappeared without a trace.
Seeing that the monkey king was dead, the stone monkey immediately called out to the panicked monkeys,"Who else is not convinced and dares to come up and compete with me! Competition?" With that, he looked around at the monkeys by the pond.
The stone monkey had thought that since he had killed the monkey king, the group of monkeys would definitely take revenge for the monkey king and attack him together. Thus, he had raised his vigilance and was ready to fight at any time. Unexpectedly, after the monkeys panicked for a while, they surrounded the pool and knelt down to the stone monkey, shouting together,"Great King! Your Majesty!"
Every monkey group had a rule-only the strongest and bravest could be the monkey king. Only such a monkey king could rule the monkey group. Every time a new and old monkey king was replaced, it would be a battle of life and death. Whoever defeated the old monkey king would be the new monkey king. Now that the Stone Monkey had killed the old Monkey King effortlessly, it proved that the Stone Monkey was much stronger than the old Monkey King. According to the rules, the Stone Clan should be the new Monkey King. Without waiting for the stone monkey to agree, the monkeys jumped into the pond and surrounded the stone monkey. They threw it high into the air, and the sound of "king" could be heard. What was extremely out of place with this lively scene was: The corpse of the former monkey king lay quietly by the pool, and no monkeys bothered to look at it. It really fulfilled the old saying," The winner is king, and the loser is a bandit."
As for the stone monkey, ever since he became the new king of this group of macaques, he had subdued all the monkey clans from thirty-six different tribes on the Flowerfruit Mountain in just three months. He became the first monkey king in the history of the Flowerfruit Mountain to unify all the monkey clans, and was affectionately addressed by his subordinates as the " Monkey King."
From then on, the new monkey king would play with the other monkeys in the forest every day. When he was hungry, he would eat mountain fruits, and when he was thirsty, he would drink mountain springs. He was quite carefree. One day, it was noon in the hot summer. The weather was hot and stuffy. The monkeys stopped fooling around and hid under the trees to rest. Suddenly, thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, and a strong wind blew. It was as if someone had suddenly torn a big hole in the gray sky. The heavy rain arrived in an instant. The monkeys could not dodge in time, and they were all drenched.
The rain came and went quickly. After an hour, the clouds dispersed and the wind stopped. Although the sun was high up in the sky, the temperature was much cooler because of the wind. It was not as stifling as before the rain. The monkeys 'giggles sounded in the forest again. However, King Monkey Shi was sitting alone on a tree branch, looking at the monkeys playing thoughtfully, and seemed a little worried. There were a few tribe leaders who had been taken in by King Monkey Shi. Seeing King Monkey Shi frowning, they hurriedly jumped over to ask what was going on. " The storm just now drenched our entire group of monkeys," King Monkey Shi said." More than a thousand monkeys have nowhere to hide. As the saying goes,'Only by living in peace and contentment can one live in peace and contentment.”I was just thinking about where I could find a place for us monkeys to live so that the wind, snow, rain, wolves, tigers, and leopards could not harm us.”
When these leaders heard this, they said in panic,"Your Majesty, this is our fault. We didn't do our duty and muddled along. In the end, we made Your Majesty worry and think for us. Please give us some time, we can find a few more caves on the mountain and separate the monkeys.”The leaders suggested to King Monkey Shi.
"You're not in your position, so what's your crime?”King Monkey Shi shook his head." In the past, your tribe was small and you were used to resting on trees. You can't compare to the big family of more than a thousand tribes now. Your Majesty, I…want to find a big cave that can accommodate all of our tribes. That way, we can hide in the cave and rest at night. As long as the cave door is closed, you don't have to worry about the attacks of poisonous snakes and beasts. You don't have to live separately, and you can take care of each other. It's also convenient for me to manage you.”After saying that, he jumped down from the tree branch and stood on a protruding rock. He said to the leaders who jumped down after him,"The few of you, pass on my orders. Inform the tribe members to immediately search for the large cave on the mountain like I said. Whoever finds such a cave first, regardless of gender, age, I will immediately make him the second king of our Flowerfruit Mountain Monkey Clan.”
A tribe leader thought for a moment and said,""Your Majesty, there are seventy-two relatively large caves on this mountain. However, they have all been occupied by other cave dwellers, and they are not as big as Your Majesty said. The remaining small caves could only accommodate at most 10 to 20 smaller monkeys.”The leader of another tribe said,""Your Majesty, why don't…we choose a few neighboring caves from the seventy-two larger caves and drive away the foreign tribes living inside.”
"No, no! First impressions?" King Monkey Shi waved his hand." Since it's already occupied by other races, it's their home. We have to think of another way." Besides, I want to find a cave that can accommodate all of us, so how can it be completed?”
Another tribe leader looked troubled and said to King Monkey Shi,""Your Majesty, we've lived on this mountain since we were young. Our experiences tell us that there's no cave as big as the one you're hoping for. We might as well snatch a few neighboring caves from the seventy-two caves to live in. Although we live separately, it's still relatively close to each other, and it'll be convenient for the king to manage it.”
