Where did the Monkey King come from?
Stone monkeys walk and jump in the mountains, feed on vegetation, drink mountain spring water, pick mountain flowers, find trees and fruits, keep company with wolves and insects, tigers and leopards, roe deer as friends, and macaques and apes as relatives; Sleep under a cliff at night and wander in caves in the mountains in the morning. Life in the mountains has no concept of time. The slight cold and severe cold in the 24 solar terms have passed, and I don't know that the Spring Festival is coming soon.
On a hot day, a group of monkeys and I went to take a bath in the stream. Look at that fast-flowing water. It's inexhaustible. All the monkeys said, "I don't know where this water comes from." We have nothing to do with leisure today. Let's go to the ravine to find the source! " With a loud cry, all the monkeys came running together and climbed up the hill along the stream until the source was a waterfall and a flying spring.
The monkey clapped his hands and said, "Good water! Good water! Whoever has the ability to go in and find a source to come out, without hurting our health, we will worship him as king. " Taking three breaths, I suddenly saw a stone monkey jump out of the crowd and shouted, "I'll go in!" " I'm going in! "
I saw him squat down slowly with his eyes closed, jump straight into the waterfall spring, suddenly open his eyes and look up. There was no water wave, but it was an iron slab bridge.
The water under the bridge ran between the caves and flooded the bridge door from top to bottom. Look at the bridge again, but it seems to be a place where someone has lived. What a good welfare! The stone monkey looked at it for a long time, jumped from the middle of the bridge, looked around and saw a stone tablet inside.
The tablet reads "Huaguoshan is a blessed land, and water curtain cave is a land of enlightenment". The stone monkey was very happy, so he closed his eyes and squatted down, jumped out of the water and said, "Good luck! What luck! " The monkey came around and asked, "What's it like inside? How deep is the water? "
The stone monkey said, "No water, no water! This is an iron bridge. On the other side of the bridge is the property that fell from the sky. " The monkeys asked, "How can it be family property?"
The stone monkey said with a smile, "This water rushed out of the cave under the bridge and hung upside down to cover the portal. There are flowers and trees by the bridge, which is a stone house. There are stone pots, stoves, bowls and benches in the room. On a stone tablet in the middle, the words' Huaguoshan is a blessed land, and water curtain cave is a land of enlightenment' are engraved. The whole place is where we live. We all go in and live without being angry with God. "
All the monkeys are very happy to hear this. Du Dao said, "You go first and take us in." The stone monkey crouched down with his eyes closed and jumped in.
Then all the monkeys jumped in. Jump off the bridge, grab pots and pans, grab pots and pans to change beds, move over, move over, monkeys are stubborn by nature and can't rest for a moment, only to be exhausted.
As you all said just now, whoever has the ability to go in and out without harming his health will worship him as king. Now I've come in and out and found this cave, so you can sleep in peace. Why not worship me as king? "After hearing this, all the monkeys immediately worshipped the stone monkey, and they all called it" Chitose King ". Since then, the stone monkey has ascended the throne and is called the "Monkey King".
