After observing for a long time, the stone monkey lightly jumped over the center of the bridge, looked around, and found a stone tablet in the center.
The stone tablet is engraved with a neat line of calligraphy, which says "Huaguo Mountain Blessed Land, Water Curtain Cave Cave Heaven."
The stone monkey was full of joy and couldn''t wait to turn around and walk out.
Then he closed his eyes again, squatted down, jumped out of the water, yawned twice and smiled, "What a good luck! Good luck!"
Other monkeys quickly surrounded him and asked, "How''s the situation inside?" “How deep is the water?"
The stone monkey replied, "There is no water! No water! NaInside is actually a strong iron-plate bridge, and the other end of the bridge is an excellent place created by nature.
The monkeys asked, "Why is it a good place to settle down?"
The stone monkey replied with a smile, "The water flows through the stone bridge from under the bridge, and then hangs upside down to cover the hole like a curtain. There are flowers and trees next to the bridge, surrounded by a stone house. There are stone nests, stone stoves, stone bowls, stone basins, stone beds and stone benches in the stone house. There is also a stone tablet in the middle, which is engraved with ''Flower Fruit Mountain Blessed Land, Water Curtain Cave Cave Heaven''. This is really a place where we can settle down. And it is very spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of monkeys, and both young and old can live there. Let''s all move in, so that we don''t have to be disturbed by the outside world. Inside is really: there is a shelter from the wind to settle down and a shelter from the rain to live.The frost, snow and cold are fearless, and the sound of thunder has never been heard. The haze often shines, and the auspiciousness is often smoked. The pine and bamboo are green every year, and the strange flowers are new every day.”
Hearing this, the monkeys were all happy and said one after another, "You go first, take us in together!"
The stone monkey closed his eyes, squatted down, jumped vertically, jumped into the cave, and shouted, "Come with me!"
The bold monkeys immediately followed, while the timid ones hesitated, stretched out their heads, scratched their ears and cheeks, and shouted loudly.
After some entanglement, they finally plucked up the courage to go in.
Once crossing the bridge, the monkeys began to compete for basins, occupy stove beds, move around, show their naughty nature, and did not stop until they were exhausted.
The stone monkey sat at a high place and said, "Everyone, the ancients said, ''People can''t stand without faith''. You said before that whoever can come in, go out, and be unharmed, worship him as king.Now I can both come in and out, and I have found this blessed place, so that you can sleep at ease and enjoy the warmth of home. Why don''t you worship me as the king?"
After hearing this, the monkeys immediately obeyed respectfully and had no objection.
They bowed to the stone monkey in order of age and respectfully called him "Chitose King".
Since then, the stone monkey has ascended the throne and hidden the word "stone", calling itself the Monkey King.
This matter is also evidenced by poetry, which says: Sanyang Jiaotai produces groups, and the immortal stone cell contains the essence of the sun and the moon.
Borrow the egg to turn the monkey into the road, and pretend that his name and surname match Dancheng.
The internal view does not know the cause of the phase, and the external understanding is tangible.
Everyone in all generations belongs to this, and the king is called the saint.
The Beautiful Monkey King led a group of monkeys including apes, macaques, horse monkeys, etc., and arranged their respective official duties and responsibilities.
During the day, they played on Huaguo Mountain and rested peacefully in the Water Curtain Cave at night.
They are like-minded and are neither confused with flying birds nor running beasts, but stand on their own and enjoy incomparable happiness.
They collect hundreds of flowers for food in spring and all kinds of fruits in summer to make a living.
In autumn, taro and chestnuts are harvested to prolong the enjoyment of the season, and in winter, yellow essence is found to get through the harsh days.
The Monkey King is enjoying his innocent life to the fullest.
Three or five hundred years have passed unconsciously.
One day, when it was celebrating with the monkeys, it suddenly felt worried and tears slipped.
Seeing this, the monkeys quickly gathered around and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, what are you worried about?"
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
The Monkey King replied, "Although I am in joy now, I have a trace of long-term worry in my heart, so I feel annoyed.”
After hearing this, the monkeys laughed again: "The king is really unsatisfied! IWe can gather here every day.
In this fairy mountain blessed land, ancient cave and divine land, it is neither under the jurisdiction of Kirin nor bound by the phoenix, let alone bound by the throne of the world.
What a boundless blessing.
What a boundless blessing.
Why do you have to worry about the long-term? The Monkey King explained, "Although we are not under the legal jurisdiction of the King of People now, and we are not afraid of the threat of any beasts, in the future, we will be old and weak, and our blood will decline, and the King of Hell will be in charge of our life and death. Once you die, don''t you live in this world for nothing and can''t stay between heaven and man forever?"
Hearing this, the monkeys covered their faces and cried one by one, and they were all worried about the impermanence of life.
Among the monkeys, a back-backed ape suddenly jumped out.
It shouted loudly and sternly, "If the king can have such far-reaching considerations, it will be really enlightened!Among all the living beings in the world, only three are not under the jurisdiction of the King of Hell.”
The Monkey King asked curiously, "Do you know which three kinds?" The ape replied, "That''s Buddha, immortal and sacred. They have transcended the reincarnation of life and death. They will neither be born nor disappear. Their life expectancy is as long as the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth.”
The Monkey King then asked, "Where do these three people live?"
The ape said, "They live in the world of Yanfuti, hiding in ancient caves and sacred mountains and forests.”
After hearing this, the Monkey King was full of joy and said, "I will leave you tomorrow, go down the mountain, and travel to the ends of the earth. I must find these three people, learn the art of immortality, and avoid the jurisdiction of the King of Hell forever.”
After hearing this, the monkeys applauded and praised one after another, saying, "Great! Great! Let''s go over the mountains tomorrow, find more fruits, and hold a grand banquet to see off the king!"
The next day, all the monkeys really went to pick beautiful fairy peaches, picked strange fruits, dug up yam and yellow essence, and also collected fragrant orchids, fragrant orchids, precious Yao grass and strange flowers.
They sorted out these items one by one, and then placed them neatly on stone benches and stone tables, and also listed fairy wine and fairy snacks.
Only seen: the golden cherry is as round as a pearl, red to drip, and yellow to be full and seductive.
The cherries in the twelfth lunar month are bright in color, sweet and delicious; the ripe plums are red and yellow, moderately sweet and sour, and full of fruity fragrance.
The tender longan is sweet and easy to peel; the fiery red lychee has a small red core, which is delicious.
The green lings are full of fruits, offering branches and leaves; the golden loquat is wrapped in pale yellow buds and stands tall.
Rabbit-shaped pears and chicken heart-shaped dates can not only quench thirst and annoyance, but also relieve alcohol and wake up.
The sweet peaches and ripe apricots are as delicious as jade jelly; the crispy plums and bayberry are as sour as cheese made with fatty acid.
The red pulp and black-seeded watermelon is ripe, and the four-leaf yellow-skinned persimmon is huge and attractive.
The pomegranate is cracked, revealing the seeds like fiery red crystal beads; the taro and chestnuts are cut open, and there is a hard golden flesh inside, like golden agate.
Walnuts and ginkgo can be used to make tea, and coconuts and grapes can be used to make wine.
The plate is full of hazelnuts, pine nuts, cypress and cypress, and the desk table is full of oranges, sugar cane, tangerines and oranges.
The yam was carefully stewed until it was soft and glutinous, and the yellow essence was also cooked until it was cooked.
There were also crushed porias and barley, which were slowly stewed in a stone pot over low heat.
Although there are countless delicacies in the world, how can it compare with the free and peaceful life of monkeys on the mountain?The monkeys surrounded the beautiful monkey king and sat in a high position.
The rest of the monkeys were arranged below in order of age.
They took turns to come forward one by one, offering fine wine, flowers and fresh fruits.
Everyone drank together all day.
Early the next morning, the Monkey King woke up early and said, "Kids, go and break some dead pine branches, braid them into rafts, find a bamboo pole as a peny, and prepare some fruits and other food.
I''m leaving.”
Then, the Monkey King got on the raft alone and rowed with all his strength.
The raft floated on the water and sailed straight to the depths of the sea.
With the help of the wind, he went to the boundary of Nanlibuzhou.
Fortunately, since he got on the raft, strong southeast winds have been blowing him smoothly to the northwest bank, which is the territory of Nanli Buzhou.
He picked up a penny to test the depth of the water and accidentally found a shallow water area, so he abandoned the raft and jumped ashore.
As soon as he got to the shore, he saw people fishing, hunting geese, digging clams and drying salt by the sea.
He approached these people, made grimaces and played tricks, scaring those people to drop baskets and nets and run away.
He caught a slow runner, stripped off his clothes, put it on like a human being, and then swayed through the state to learn people''s etiquette and language in the market.
Eating during the day and staying overnight at night, he is determined to explore the sacred way of Buddha and immortality and find the secret recipe for immortality.
However, he found that the world is full of fame and profit, and no one lives to pursue the meaning of life itself.
The Monkey King sought the immortal way but failed to meet as he wished.
Eighty-nine years have passed since it traveled in Nanyanbuzhou, shuttled inside and outside the Great Wall, and visited various small cities.
Unknowingly, eighty-nine years have passed.
One day, it suddenly came to the sea of the West, thinking that there must be immortals living overseas.
Therefore, it made a raft alone again, crossed the West Sea, and drifted all the way to the boundary of Xiniu Hezhou.
After going ashore, he visited for a long time and suddenly saw a beautiful mountain with deep forests.
The Monkey King was fearless.
He was neither afraid of wolves nor tigers and leopards.
He climbed to the top of the mountain to watch in one breath.
This is indeed a good mountain: the peaks stand tall like swords, and the ridges spread out like screens.
The sun shines on the fog in the mountains, showing a faint emerald green, and the mountains after the rain are more cold and green.
The dead vines are wrapped around the old trees, and the ancient ferry marks a long journey.
There are exotic flowers and plants growing in the mountains, as well as slender bamboos and tall pine trees.
These bamboos and pine trees are still evergreen after ten thousand years, which is more beautiful than the blessed land; the strange flowers and plants are always blooming in all seasons, which is more charming than the Penglai Wonderland.
Quiet birds are chirping nearby, and the clear spring water is jingling.
The valleys and ravines are surrounded by orchids, and the steep cliffs are covered with moss.
