Chapter 22: The Demon Monkey Gets into Trouble

This "Monkey King" is a demon monkey in the end, after having this well-known name, he doesn't care about what official rank and quality he is, and he doesn't care about what he is, anyway, he has nothing to do during the day, he is very leisurely, he can go around to play, and there are some immortals in him, so he forgot all about the official title or something.

In this Monkey King Mansion, there are two divisions, "Quiet" and "Tranquility". It is also ridiculous to say that if a monkey is quiet and calm, doesn't that mean that the dog should not eat feces and the wolf should not eat meat? The Monkey King, under the support of the two immortals in the morning and evening, only knows three meals a day, sleeps at night, has nothing to do, and is free; today he travels eastward, tomorrow he wanders west, the clouds go to the clouds, and his whereabouts are uncertain; in his spare time, he will meet friends and visit the palace and make friends. To put it bluntly, it is to wander around in the heavens and the earth, in the north and south, whether others want to go up to say hello and call others brothers.

On this day, as soon as the Jade Emperor went to the early court, Xu Jingyang Zhenren flashed out of the class, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to play." The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "Quasi-play." ”

Xu Jingyang responded: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, now there is that Monkey King, who has nothing to do and makes friends with all the stars in the sky, no matter how high or low. The ministers are afraid that he will have trouble in the future, so if they take care of one thing with him, they will avoid other troubles. The other immortals on the side also hurriedly shouted yes, very consistently.

When the Jade Emperor heard this, he saw the disgusted expression of the immortals, and he also seemed to feel that this monkey was too noisy in normal times, and he must be allowed to be quiet, otherwise this heavenly court will become a monkey mountain. Subsequently, the Jade Emperor asked a dry immortal and said, "Then what errand do you think is appropriate for Sun Wukong to arrange?"

When the gods and immortals heard this, they were all stunned, but they didn't expect that there was any errand suitable for this monkey. At this time, Li Jing, the king of Tota, said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that a military position can be arranged for that Monkey King, and let him lead the troops to fight......"

Before the words of Li Jing, the Heavenly King of Tota, fell, he was vetoed by Wude Xingjun. Wu De Xingjun said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this Monkey King is difficult to change by nature, and he is naturally stubborn, if he leads his troops to fight, he will definitely not know what kind of chaos will happen." Let's arrange an easier job for him. Why don't you arrange an errand for him to take care of the bookwork?"

When Wenqu Xingjun heard this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. Copywriting is the most annoying, and if you don't have enough patience and concentration, this thing is extremely annoying. If the Monkey King is allowed to take care of this matter, he is afraid that something like destroying the book of life and death will happen again. Otherwise, let him be an errand that doesn't need to use his brain, force, or hands. The minister is willing to recommend him to be in charge of the armory. ”

When Ou Zhizi heard this, the jade gui in his hand immediately fell to the ground, ran out and said, "Your Majesty, this must not be ......"

"Enough!" The Jade Emperor felt irritated when he saw the immortals like this, and he also understood how unpopular that monkey was. Then he asked: "If you don't have any opinions, then this matter will be discussed another day." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has a proposal. Marshal Tianpeng on the side said suddenly.

"Quasi-play. ”

"Your Majesty, I propose that the monkey guard the peach orchard. ”

When the immortals heard this, their faces changed suddenly, and they all thought: "Isn't Marshal Tianpeng deliberately embarrassing that dead monkey?"

The Jade Emperor asked, "Aiqing, what do you mean by this?"

Marshal Tianpeng replied, "Back to Your Majesty." Those of us who cultivate are supposed to go to the seven emotions, remove the six desires, see the nature clearly, and seek the great way. If that Sun Monkey can't even manage a Pan Taoyuan, then what kind of cultivator is it, it is better to drive him out of the heavenly court as soon as possible. When the Jade Emperor and the immortals heard this, there seemed to be something wrong, but it seemed to be the same reason, and they all nodded and acquiesced.

Immediately, the Jade Emperor immediately announced that the Monkey King came to the main hall. When the monkey king heard this, he immediately rejoiced, scratched the back of his hand, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, what is the reward for the old grandson?"

When the Jade Emperor and the gods and immortals heard this unknown name, their hearts were angry, and they almost didn't beat this dead monkey to death.

The Jade Emperor took a deep breath and said lightly: "I see that you are idle, and I have an errand with you. You have the right to take care of the peach orchard, and you will care about it sooner or later. ”

When the Monkey King heard that he had another errand, he frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, is this a big job?"

The Jade Emperor said, "This position is specially for you. The peach orchard is extremely important, if there is no letter from the queen mother, no one is allowed to enter the garden to pick peaches. ”

When the Monkey King heard this, he scratched the back of his hand, stepped forward and asked, "No one is allowed without a handbook?"

The Jade Emperor said with great certainty: "No one is allowed!"

When the Monkey King heard this, he was very happy, happy and grateful, sang upwards, and swaggered out of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.

When the Monkey King returned to the Monkey King's Mansion, he was so happy that he couldn't sit still, and then immediately ran to the Pan Tao Garden to investigate.

When he arrived at the gate of the garden, a piece of land stopped him in the peach orchard and asked, "Where is the great sage?"

The monkey king took out the token, patted the shoulder of the land and said, "I am the Jade Emperor, I am in charge of the Pan Tao Garden, and I will investigate it today." ”

The land looked at the token and thought, "Call a monkey to guard the peach orchard?" But this was just thinking about it, so he hurriedly saluted and called the group of hoes, water transporters, cultivators, and cleaners to come to the Great Sage and kowtow and lead him in.

Before the Monkey King entered the peach orchard, he smelled an intoxicating peach fragrance. After entering the peach orchard, I saw that:

Scorching, scorching, one by one. The trees are full of flowers, and the fruits are pressed on the branches. The fruit presses the branches and hangs brocades, and the flowers are clustered on the trees. The scenery is truly breathtaking. It can be seen that this monkey is itching in his heart, but after all, he is a new official, and his responsibilities are in his body, and he must not make mistakes. But it would be nice if these peach trees were planted on a mountain.

Everyone stood in the garden, looking at the peach trees that were arranged in an orderly manner and countless in the garden, the height and distance were different, giving people an extremely strong visual impact; and the enchanting peach blossoms flying in the wind danced gently in the wind, and gently fell on everyone's body, making people's hearts stir, as if returning to the mother's arms; the first-ripening peaches, pink and gorgeous, making people salivate; unripe peaches, green skin and thin skin, making people full of anticipation. In this garden, several pavilions and pavilions are faintly visible......

When the Monkey King watched and played for a long time, he asked the land, "How many trees are there?"

The land replied, "There are three thousand six hundred: one thousand two hundred in the front, with small flowers and fruits, and one ripe in three thousand years; in the middle, one thousand and two hundred in the middle, with sweet flowers, and one in six thousand years; and one thousand two hundred in the back, with purple cores, and one ripe in nine thousand years." After saying this, the land was afraid that this monkey would not know the height of the sky, so he ate all the peaches, and hurriedly added: "Those that are ripe once in three thousand years, people can become immortals and attain the Tao after eating, and their bodies are light; those that are ripe in six thousand years, people can rise and rise in the sun and live forever after eating them; and those that are ripe in nine thousand years, people can live with heaven and earth, and the sun and moon can live with the sun and the moon when they eat it." ”

When the Monkey King heard this, he was amazed again and again, and hurriedly asked: "Then if people eat it, won't they be able to become immortals without cultivating? Eat a few of these peaches, wouldn't we be able to live forever without cultivating and live with heaven and earth?"

The question stunned the land, and he found that the dead monkey could not understand how important the peaches really were, but asked a question that he could not answer.

The Monkey King saw that the land was standing there stunned, and before he could reply to his words, he asked again.

The land shook his head and said, "This ...... Little God didn't know, Little God had never tasted these peaches. ”

The Monkey King asked again, "Has anyone tasted it?"

The land said: "Back to the Great Sage, only the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, and all the Great Immortals have the opportunity to taste the peaches here." ”

When the Monkey King heard this, he thought to himself: "Then I have to find a chance to ask them, if I can really eat a few peaches and live forever with heaven and earth, then I will still cultivate a fart ......."

Then Monkey King was very happy to find out the number of various peach trees, and then looked at the pavilions and pavilions everywhere before returning home.

Since then, the Monkey King has been playing once every three or five days, and he doesn't make friends, he doesn't swim, and he runs to the peach orchard when he has nothing to do.

One day, Monkey King saw the old branches, most of the peaches were ripe, and he wanted to eat something new. However, the land of this garden, the wrestlers and the immortals of Qi Tianfu followed inconveniently. Suddenly, he made a plan and said: "You wait and go out to serve, let me rest on this pavilion for a while." Although the immortals were puzzled, they usually didn't see the monkey's idea of beating these peaches, so they looked at each other a few times and retreated.

When the monkey saw that everyone had retreated, he immediately threw away his official hat, took off his official uniform, climbed the big tree, picked the ripe peaches, picked many of them, and used them freely on the branches. After eating a big meal, he burped a long hearty time, and then jumped down from the tree, dressed in a hairpin, and called for everyone to return to the house together. After that, the monkey went to the peach orchard every now and then to try to steal the peaches and enjoy them as much as he could.

One day, the queen mother set up a banquet, opened the treasure pavilion, and did the "peach event" in the Yao Pond, that is, the red-clothed fairy, the plain-clothed fairy, the green-clothed fairy, the soap-clothed fairy, the purple-clothed fairy, the yellow-clothed fairy, and the green-clothed fairy, each top flower basket, went to the peach orchard to pick peaches and build a meeting. The seven-clothed fairy went to the head of the garden gate, and saw the land of Pan Taoyuan, the wrestlers and the two immortals of Qi Tianfu, all guarding the door there.

When the fairy approached, she took out the message of the Queen Mother and said, "We will follow the decree of the Queen Mother to bring peaches to the banquet here." The land hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Xian'e, live." This year is not as old as in previous years, the Jade Emperor is here to supervise the Monkey King, and he must report to the Great Sage that he knows before he dares to open the park. The fairy asked, "May I ask where the Great Sage is?" The land scratched his head and said, "The Great Sage is in the garden, and because he is sleepy, he is sleeping on the pavilion." The fairy said, "In that case, it is not to be delayed when the grandfather of the land is bothered to find him." "After the land entered the garden and went around, I didn't see the Monkey King, so I could only come out and inform the seven fairies.

The fairy said: "This peach victory will not be delayed. Can Grandpa Land go in with us, and if I see the Great Sage, I will bother Grandpa Land to explain it for me?"

The land thought about it, although he was afraid that the Monkey King would blame him, but the matter of the Queen Mother could not be delayed, he thought about it, and still agreed to the proposal of the seven fairies. Then he and the seven fairies went into the peach orchard. Everyone looked for the flower pavilion again, but they didn't see the Monkey King, only the clothes were in the pavilion, and they didn't know where the monkey went. Everyone searched around several times, but they still didn't find it.

It turned out that this Monkey King played for a while, ate a few peaches, turned into a two-inch-long individual, and fell asleep under the thick leaves of the big treetops.

The seven-clothed fairy said: "I came by order, but I can't find the great sage, how dare I go back?"

A kind-hearted immortal official next to him said, "Since Xian'e has come by order, there is no need to hesitate. I'm used to wandering around the Great Sage, and I think I'm going out of the park to meet friends. Wait and go pick peaches, and we'll answer for you. ”

The fairy did as she was told, and went into the woods to pick peaches. First they picked two baskets on the front tree, and then three baskets on the middle tree, and when they went to the back tree, they saw that the flowers and fruits on the tree were sparse, and there were only a few hairs and green skins. It turned out that the cooked ones were eaten by the Monkey King.

The seven fairies looked east and west, and saw a half-red and half-white peach on the south branch. The woman in green ripped off the branch with her hand, and the woman in red picked it, but she looked at the branch and put it away. It turned out that the great sage had changed, and was sleeping in this branch, and was awakened by him. The sleepy-eyed Great Sage appeared as he was, and a golden hoop stick came out of his ear, under a pretense, the thickness of the bowl, and said aggressively: "You are that monster, dare to boldly steal my peaches!" The seven fairies knelt down together and said, "The Great Sage is angry." We are not monsters, but the seven-clothed fairy sent by the queen mother, picking peaches, opening the treasure pavilion, and doing the 'peach victory meeting'. In the meantime, I saw the gods of the land of the garden, and I didn't see the great sage. I am afraid that the queen mother's decree will be late, so I can't wait for the great sage, so I will pick peaches here first, hoping to forgive my sins. ”

When the great sage heard this, he didn't know what the peach victory would be, but it was done by the queen mother, and it was estimated that the scene was not small. He immediately replied with disgust and asked, "Xian'e, please get up." The Queen Mother opened a banquet, who was she invited?"

The fairy said: "The Shanghui has its own old rules. The ones invited are the Three Qings, the Four Emperors, the Five Elders of the Five Directions, the Five Colored Emperors, the Eight Immortals, and the Nine Yao...... and the gods of all palaces and halls, all went to the Pan Tao Jiahui. ”

The Great Sage scratched the back of his hand and asked with a smile, "Can you invite me?"

The seven fairies were stunned when asked, you look at me, I look at you, and one of them said in a slur manner: "It seems that I have never heard it." ”

The Great Sage grinned a few times and asked, "I am the Monkey King, so why not invite my grandson to be a honored seat?"

The seven fairies said: "This is the rule of the meeting, and I don't know how to do it today." ”

The Great Sage said: "This is also true, no wonder you wait. You stand up, wait for Lao Sun to inquire about the news first, and see if you can ask Lao Sun to invite him. ”

The great sage, twisting the trick, reciting a spell, said to the fairies: "Stop, stop, stop!" This turned out to be a fixation method, and the seven-clothed fairies were all standing under the peach tree with white eyes. The great sage jumped out of the park and went to the Yaochi Road. When he was walking, he saw the barefoot immortal in front of him going to the banquet in the clouds.

The barefoot immortal bumped into the great sage, the great sage bowed his head and made a plan to make a real immortal, he wanted to go to the meeting secretly, but asked: "Where is the old way?"

Daxian smiled: "The Queen Mother saw the trick and went to the Pan Tao Jiahui." ”

The Great Sage said: "It's just right, Lao Dao, you don't know that the Jade Emperor today is suffering from my old grandson's somersault and cloud disease, and the old grandson is invited to rank first, first to His Royal Highness Tongming, and then to the banquet." ”

Daxian is a righteous man, so he takes his words as the truth. He said to himself: "I have been performing in Yaochi all the year round to thank you, how can I go to the Tongming Hall to perform first, and then go to Yaochi to attend the meeting?"

Seeing that the barefoot immortal believed it, the Great Sage grinned and laughed secretly. Then he drove the clouds, recited a spell, and changed his body, and changed into a barefoot immortal, and went to Yaochi. After a short time, until the treasure pavilion, hold down the cloud head, move gently, and walk inside. I saw there:

Qiong incense is swirling, Rui haze is colorful, Yaotai is paved with colored knots, and the treasure pavilion is scattered. The phoenix is ethereal, and the shadow of the golden flower and jade calyx rises and falls. There are nine phoenixes and nine phoenixes on the top of the wall, and eight treasures of purple nidun. Five-colored gold table, thousand flowers and jasper pots. On the table are dragon liver and phoenix marrow, bear paw and scarlet lips. The delicacies are as beautiful as a variety of flavors, and the exotic fruit delicacies are new in color.

It was neatly paved, but no other gods had arrived. I turned my head and saw that under the corridor on the right wall, there were several immortal officials who made wine, wrestlers who were bad, Taoists who led a few people who carried water, and children who burned the fire, where they washed the urn and brushed the urn, which had caused jade liquid elixir and fragrant mash wine.

When the great sage saw this, he couldn't stop salivating, and he was about to eat, but those people were here. So he made a miracle power, plucked off a few hairs, threw them in his mouth and chewed them, sprayed them out, and recited a mantra called "Change!", that is, he turned into a few sleepy insects and ran on everyone's faces. Behold the men, with their hands bowed and their heads bowed, their eyebrows closed, and their eyes closed, and they all went to sleep after they had lost their deacons.

But the great sage took some delicacies and delicacies, walked into the corridor, put the jar next to the urn, let go of the amount, and drank bitterly. After eating hooks for a long time, I got drunk. He said to himself: "It's not good! It's not good! After a while, the guests invited will come, but they don't blame me? How can I hold it for a while? Why don't I go back to the house and sleep early." ”

Good Great Sage: Swaying, relying on wine, bumping into feelings, and making the road worse for a while; When I saw it, I suddenly woke up and said: "Tushi Palace is above the thirty-three days, and it is the place where the old king who hates the heavens and the heavens, how can I be wrong here?—— I have always wanted to look at this old man, but I have never come, and now I take advantage of this remnant to look at him." That is, the whole clothes crashed in, and there was no Laojun there, and there was no trace of him. It turned out that the old gentleman was preaching on the three-story pavilion Zhuling Dantai, and all the fairy children, fairy generals, fairy officials, and fairy officials all stood left and right to listen to the lecture.

This great sage went to the inside of the Dan room, and he did not meet it, but he saw that next to the Dan stove, there was a fire in the furnace. There are five gourds placed on the left and right of the furnace, and the gourds are all refined gold pills. The great sage said: "This thing is the treasure of the immortal family, the old grandson since the Tao, see through the same reason inside and outside, but also want some gold pills into it, unexpectedly to the home flawless; And he poured out all the gourds, and ate them all, as if they were fried beans.

After a while, Danman woke up from his wine, and then he thought to himself: "It's not good! It's not good! This disaster is bigger than the sky, and if the Jade Emperor is alarmed, his life will not survive." Let's go, let's go, let's go, don't go to the lower realm for the king!" He hurriedly ran out of the Tushi Palace, did not follow the old road, and escaped from the West Heavenly Gate with a stealth method. That is, according to the cloud head, back to the Huaguo Mountain boundary.

But seeing that the flag was shining and the halberd was glorious, it turned out to be the four strong generals and the seventy-two cave demon kings, where they practiced martial arts. The Great Sage shouted, "Little ones, I'll come!" The monsters threw away their weapons, knelt down and said, "The Great Sage is so relieved! Leave me and wait for a long time, don't come to care for each other!" The Great Sage said: "It's not long! The four athletes will clean up and prostrate after the bow. Ju Dao: "The Great Sage has been in the sky for a hundred and ten years, what kind of position has he really received?" The Great Sage smiled: "I like this Jade Emperor to fall in love, and the fruit is sealed as the 'Monkey King', and a Monkey King Mansion is set up, and there are two divisions of quiet and tranquil gods, and the department is set up with immortal guards." Seeing that I was fine, I took care of the peach orchard. Recently, because the Queen Mother set up the 'Peach Conference', she didn't invite me, but I didn't wait for him to invite, so I went to Yaochi first, and I stole his immortal products and immortal wine. walked out of Yaochi, staggered into Laojun's palace by mistake, and stole his five gourd gold pills to eat. But I was afraid that the Jade Emperor would see the crime, so he walked out of the gate of heaven. ”

The monsters were overjoyed. That is, arrange the wine and fruit to catch the wind, pour a stone bowl full of coconut wine, and the great sage took a sip, that is, he grinned and said: "It's not delicious! It's not delicious!" Bang and Ba Erjun said: "The great sage is in the heavenly palace, and he has eaten immortal wine and immortal food, but the coconut wine is not very delicious." As the saying goes: 'Beauty is not beautiful, the water in the countryside.' The Great Sage said: "You are 'kiss or not, hometown people.'" 'When I was being used in the Yao Chi this morning, I saw many jars and jars under the corridor, all of which were the jade elixir. None of you have tasted it. When I come back by stealing a few more bottles from him, you will each drink half a cup, and each of you will live forever. The monkeys rejoiced. The great sage went out of the cave door, turned a somersault, made a stealth method, and went to the peach meeting. When I entered the Yaochi Palace, I saw those who made wine, dished the dregs, carried water, and burned the fire, and they were still snoring and did not wake up. He took two of the big ones from the left and right flanks, and carried two of them in both hands, that is, he turned the cloud head back, and the congregation monkeys were in the cave, so they made a "fairy wine party", and drank a few cups each, and they were happy.
