The king led a group of monkeys, macaques, horse monkeys, etc., and assigned the monarch, minister, assistant envoy to visit Huaguo Mountain in the morning and stay in Shuilian Cave in the evening. They agreed to sympathize with each other, did not enter the flock of birds, did not follow animals and the like, and became the king alone. They were very happy. Therefore-
In spring, they gather hundreds of flowers for food, and in summer, they look for fruits for life. Autumn harvest taros and chestnuts delay the festival, winter to find yellow precision year-old flowers. The Monkey King was so naive and enjoyed himself. How could he expect to live for three to five hundred years?
One day, during a wedding banquet with a group of monkeys, suddenly sad and angry, tears fell down. The monkeys hurriedly bowed and said,"Why is Your Majesty troubled?"”"Although I am happy," said the Monkey King,"I have some long-term considerations, which is why I am troubled.”The monkeys laughed again,"Your Majesty is so unsatisfied!" We have fun every day. In the immortal mountains, blessed lands, ancient caves and immortal continents, we are not under the jurisdiction of the unicorn, not under the control of the phoenix, nor under the restraint of the king. We are free and unfettered. This is an infinite blessing. Why worry about it from afar?”The Monkey King said," Although I don't obey the laws of the Human King today and I don't fear the might of beasts, I will be under the control of the King of Hell in the future when I grow old and my blood weakens. Once I die, I won't live in vain in this world. I won't be able to stay in the Celestial Realm for a long time."”
When the monkeys heard this, they covered their faces and wailed, worried about impermanence. A Long Back Ape jumped out from the squad and shouted,""If Your Majesty is so far-sighted, then your Dao heart is truly developed! Today, among the five insects, there are only three kinds of names and colors, which are not under the control of King Yama Lao Tzu.”"Do you know who the three people are?" the Monkey King asked.”The monkey said," They are the Buddha, the Immortal, and the Divine. They have escaped the cycle of reincarnation and are immortal. They live as long as the mountains and rivers."”"Where do these three reside?" asked the Monkey King.”"He's only in the Yanfu World, within the Ancient Cave Celestial Mountain."”When the Monkey King heard this, his heart was filled with joy." Tomorrow, I will bid you farewell and go down the mountain. I will travel to the ends of the world and visit these three places. I will learn how to live forever and never grow old, so that I can often escape the difficulties of the King of Hell."”Eh! With this sentence, the Dun Sect jumped out of the net of reincarnation and became the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.
The monkeys applauded and said,"Good, good!" Tomorrow we will cross the mountains and climb the mountains, look for some fruits, and hold a banquet to send Your Majesty.”
The next day, the monkeys went to pick immortal peaches, exotic fruits, Chinese yams, sealwort, fragrant orchids, and rare flowers. They were arranged neatly on stone benches and tables, with immortal wine and immortal dishes. But seeing that--
Golden balls and pearls, red and yellow. Gold ball pearl play wax cherry, color really sweet; Red bloomed yellow fat ripe plum, taste fruit sour. Fresh longan, sweet meat, thin skin; Fire lychee, red stone capsule. Ringfruit green fruit even branches presented, loquat yellow bud with leaves held. Rabbit head pear chicken heart jujube, can cure thirst, relieve vexation, and relieve fatigue. Fragrant peach rotten apricot, sweet like jade nectar; Crisp plum and waxberry, sour shade like fat crisp cream cheese. Red bag, black spots, ripe watermelon, yellow skin, big persimmon. The pomegranate cracked, and the cinnabar grains turned into fire crystal beads. Cut open the taro chestnut, the hard meat is golden agate. Walnuts and gingko could be used to make tea, and coconut grapes could be used to make wine. Hazelnut, pine, torreya, etc. were all over the plate, and oranges, sugar cane, and orange were all over the table. Simmer the yam and boil the sealwort. Mashed tuckahoe and coix seed, stone pot slightly fire spread soup. Even if there are delicacies in the world, how can it be more peaceful than the joy of mountain monkeys?
The group of monkeys respected the Monkey King and sat on the throne, each of them lined up with their teeth and shoulders. One by one, they took turns to serve wine, flowers, and fruits, drinking to their hearts 'content for the entire day.
The next day, the Monkey King woke up early and shouted,""Lads, help me fold some withered pine trees and weave them into a raft. Take a bamboo pole as a pole and pack some fruits.”As expected, he boarded the raft alone and tried his best to open it. He floated straight into the sea and took advantage of the wind to cross the boundary of Nanshanbu Continent. This time, it was that-
Heaven gave birth to the immortal monkey, the road is long, leaving the mountain to ride a raft to ride the wind. He crossed the sea to search for the path of immortality and was determined to devote himself to building great achievements. If there is a destiny, I will stop the secular wish, and I will meet the dragon without worry. It is expected that he will meet a confidant who can explain the origin of all laws.
Perhaps the Heavenly Dao was also unfair. It was always more difficult for foreign things to attain the Dao than for humans. Even if they wanted to pursue the Dao, they had to experience more hardships. Although the monkey was born intelligent, he was still ignorant of things. He did not know the changes of the Heavenly Dao, nor did he understand the heavenly secrets. He was in a daze. He drifted on the vast sea with the heart of seeking immortality and Dao. Although he had the heart of Dao, it was inevitable that there would be disasters. Mortals had three disasters and nine tribulations, not to mention that he was born intelligent. It was even more so for people with destiny. The monkey had been on the sea for less than a month when he encountered a hurricane and huge waves. The sky was filled with dark clouds. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. Huge waves surged. How could a spirit like the monkey, who had not obtained any supernatural powers, compare to such a sky? Seeing the unfathomable heavenly might, he was terrified and fainted. He did not know what to do. The monkey was destined for this tribulation. With the help of the immortals and buddhas, two rays of light flew over from the 33 heavens, one red and one gold. The red light calmed the huge waves on the sea and dispersed the lightning and thunder. The golden light pushed the raft and floated steadily in one direction. This was the first time that the monkey had seen such a powerful force, so it had fainted from fear. Therefore, the monkey did not see any of this.
Originally, three rays of light flew down from the 33 Skies. They were green, gold, and red. The jade light was stopped by a sudden red light when it flew out of the 33 Skies. Therefore, only the golden and red light fell into the Earth Immortal Realm.
Thirty-three days away, in the Jade Pure Realm. The Origin looked at the bamboo raft floating northwest expressionlessly and snorted coldly. He then looked out of the Jade Pure Hall and sighed. Then he closed his eyes and went into a trance.
Taichi Heaven, Eight Visions Palace. The Grand Supreme Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue suddenly opened his eyes and looked outside the palace. He sighed and said,"Junior apprentice-brother, now is not the time to make a move. Don't lose your plan.”After saying that, he closed his eyes and went into a trance.
After a few days, Monkey had gained some knowledge. He held the pole to test the water. When he encountered shallow water, he abandoned the raft and jumped ashore. There were people fishing, hunting geese, giving birth to clams, and washing salt by the sea. When he approached, he did a trick and disguised himself as a tiger, scaring those people into throwing away their baskets and nets and running away. He took one of the ones who couldn't run away, stripped him of his clothes, and put it on like someone else. He swayed, passed through the state, passed through the government, and walked in the streets, learning etiquette and language. Eat in the morning and sleep at night, wholeheartedly visit the sacred way of Buddhas and immortals, and find a way to live forever. The monkey king visited the immortal path, but he had no chance to meet him. He stayed in Nanzhan Prefecture, crossed the Great Wall and traveled to small counties for more than ten years. Suddenly, he went to the Western Sea. He thought that there must be immortals overseas. He made a raft alone and sailed across the Western Sea until he reached the boundary of West Niuhezhou. After going ashore for a long time, he suddenly saw a beautiful mountain with deep forest foothills. He was not afraid of wolves, insects, tigers, or leopards. He climbed to the top of the mountain to take a look. It was indeed a good mountain.
Just as he was watching, he suddenly heard someone talking in the depths of the forest. He hurried into the forest and listened carefully. It turned out to be the sound of singing.
Watching the chess pieces rotten, cutting wood Ding Ding, cloud edge valley mouth slowly walk. Selling firewood, selling wine, laughing wildly to please the mood. The path is dark and the autumn is high. Facing the moon, I sleep on the pine roots and wake up at dawn. He recognized the old forest, climbed the cliff and crossed the ridge, and cut off the withered vines with an axe. He collected them into a load, sang in the market, and exchanged them for three liters of rice. There are no more competitors, and the current price is flat. He did not know how to plan, did not know honor or disgrace, and lived a quiet life. When they met, they were either immortals or Taoists. They sat quietly and talked about "Huang Ting."
When the Monkey King heard this, he said happily,""So the immortals are hiding here!" He quickly jumped in and looked carefully. It was a woodcutter who was chopping wood with an axe. He was dressed very well.
He wore a bamboo hat on his head, which was the sheath of a new bamboo shoot. She was wearing cotton clothes made of cotton. Around his waist was a sash, which was the silk spat out by the old silkworm. The grass under your feet is the refreshing feeling of withered sand. He held a green steel axe in his hand and pulled a fire rope on his shoulder. Pulling pine trees and chopping dead trees, competing to be like this woodcutter!
The monkey paid his respects to the woodcutter, but the woodcutter denied that he was an immortal. After some inquiries, the monkey found out that this mountain was called the Mountain of Spiritual Platform and Heart. There was a cave with three stars and a slanted moon in it. There was an immortal in that cave, and he was called Patriarch Subhuti. The song that the woodcutter was singing was passed down by Patriarch Subhuti. After the monkey king heard this, he left the deep forest and found a path. However, the woodcutter didn't seem like an ordinary person. After he left, he disappeared.
After crossing a hill, about seven or eight miles away, Monkey saw a cave abode. The entrance of the cave was tightly shut, and it was quiet and uninhabited. He suddenly turned his head and saw a stone tablet at the top of the cliff. It was about thirty feet tall and eight feet wide. On it were ten large words,"Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave". The Monkey King was very happy." The people here are really simple and honest. They really have this mountain and this cave."”
The incarnation of Zhunti's Good Separation, Subhuti, saw the arrival of the stone monkey. After testing his heart of Dao, he took him in and named the stone monkey Sun Wukong. From then on, Sun Wukong learned the art of immortality, the art of riding clouds and fog, the Eight Nine Mysteries, etc. in the Seven Stars Cave. Subhuti casually found an excuse to send him back to the Flower and Fruit Mountain. Looking at the direction Sun Wukong left, Subhuti smiled and returned to the west. After waiting for a long time, the tribulation of the Journey to the West was finally about to begin.
