Chapter 21: "Monkey King"

Just when Feng Zhipeng set off to return to the magic capital, in the interval when Pastor Liu reported to Shakru once a week, he also said to him: "Boss, don't come to the magic capital in the near future, there is a new infectious disease called SARS in China, which spreads very quickly, and it is said that many people have died in GD." ”

"Is everyone okay then?" asked Shakru with concern.

Pastor Liu hurriedly replied: "Boss, don't worry, it's nothing, but the customers from other places have been greatly affected, after all, because of infectious diseases, so everyone doesn't dare to go out!"

"It doesn't matter, the most important thing during this time is to take care of your health and not get sick, as for the business, as long as you can maintain normal business, you don't need to expand your business, wait until the epidemic situation stabilizes, by the way, pastor, you are old and weak, why don't you come to India for a while, after all, it is safer here!" Shakru kindly suggested.

Pastor Liu waved his hand and said, "I don't need to, I'm still in good health, and if I leave, who will be responsible for sending emails to Dr. Neville at that time!"

But speaking of this, Pastor Liu suddenly paused, turned his head sideways and didn't know who to say, and after about two minutes, he turned around and said to Shakru again: "Boss, Yanan wants her child to go to your place to avoid it, you also know that the child is already young, and he is still sick, this physique is too weak, you see ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Shakru agreed: "No problem, just let Yanan come with me, otherwise I can't take care of this child as a big man!"

Hearing that Sha Kelu agreed, Li Yanan leaned over and said gratefully: "Boss, thank you so much, I've caused you trouble again!"

Shakru replied disappreciatively: "Oh, it's not a big deal, okay, you guys hurry up and buy a ticket, and then come here!"

Two days later, Sha Kelu picked up Li Yanan and her daughter Xuanxuan at the airport, and as soon as they met, Sha Kelu patted Xuanxuan's little head and welcomed: "Xiao Xuanxuan, welcome to India!"

Because when she was in the magic capital before, Xuanxuan had seen Shaklu, so she didn't see anything outside, but stared at him with cute big eyes and asked, "Uncle Shaklu, is this really the place where Tang Seng learned scriptures back then?"

Sha Kelu was stunned when he heard this, then nodded and replied: "No, this is the West Heaven where Tang Seng went through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties and walked 108,000 miles, will Uncle Sha Lu take you to see Sun Wukong in a while?"

"Okay, okay, I like Monkey King the most!" Xiao Xuanxuan clapped her hands and said happily.

On the way, Li Yanan secretly asked Shaklu: "Boss, is there really a Monkey King in India?" I remember that although India is the birthplace of Buddhism, there are not many people who believe in Buddhism. ”

Shakru nodded and replied: "That's right, it's good that Buddhists in India can account for one percent of the population, and the vast majority of people believe in Hinduism, but the Monkey King I am talking about does exist, but it is the Indian version of the Monkey King, or the prototype that Mr. Wu Chengen referred to when he wrote Journey to the West was him!"

"Oh, in this case, it won't be very far, and if you deliberately take a detour, you won't need to. Li Yanan said with some worry.

Shakru waved his hand and replied: "No need to make a special detour, we will see it when we get to the viaduct later, this statue is super big, even the viaduct is only up to his waist!"

Sure enough, after a while, Shakru pointed to a huge statue in the distance and said to Xuanxuan: "Xuanxuan, look, that is our Indian Monkey King!"

Xuan Xuan followed his finger and looked over, and suddenly exclaimed, "There really is a big monkey, and it is also holding a golden hoop stick!" But then she frowned again and asked, "But Uncle Shakru, why doesn't this monkey look like Sun Wukong at all?"

"This is our Indian Monkey King, naturally different from what you see on TV!" Shakru patiently explained.

"Oh, then what's his name? Is he also called Monkey King?" asked Xuanxuan curiously.

Shakru shook his head and replied, "He is not called Sun Wukong, he is called Hanuman, the monkey god Hanuman!"

Hearing this name, Li Yanan suddenly realized: "Ah! I remembered the boss, the name of the Indian restaurant I bought you food from was Hanuman!

"Yes, the name of that restaurant must have been named after him, and in our India, the monkey god is also a very respected god by everyone. The reason why I say that the prototype of Sun Wukong may be him is because he has many similarities with Sun Wukong, such as the ability to soar through the clouds, such as the art of change, such as the weapons used are also very similar, Sun Wukong is holding a Ruyi golden hoop stick, and Hanuman is holding a tiger head Ruyi stick!" Shakru patiently explained.

"Uncle Shaklu, since there is a Monkey King in India, is there also a Buddha?" asked Xiao Xuanxuan interjecting on the side.

"This one does, but his appearance is not the same as the big-eared Buddha you see on TV, I'll take you to Sarnath and Bodh Gaya when I have time!" Shakru casually agreed.

"So, is there a big thunder sound temple there?" Xiao Xuanxuan asked.

"Well, the original site of the Great Lei Yin Temple, the Naroda Temple, is now completely abandoned into ruins, and the Great Lei Yin Temple you see on TV was actually filmed in the Grand Palace of Thailand!"

"Boss, you know so much!" Li Yanan praised.

"Because I also like to watch this "Journey to the West"!" Shakru replied with some embarrassment, because he was a Hindu after all......

When he arrived at Shaklu's house, looking at the beautiful three-story villa in front of him and the row of seven or eight servants, Li Yanan couldn't help but exclaim: "Boss, although I knew that you were a nobleman in India, I really didn't expect you to be so rich, even so many servants!"

"There is no way to do this servant, because our caste system is too strict, the division of labor is clear, the cook is not responsible for serving the food, the one who serves the food does not bother to clean the yard, and the one who sweeps the yard cannot clean the toilet, in short, it is clear that one person's work is not divided into several people to do, so there will be a lot of servants, but fortunately, everyone's salary is not high. Shakru explained helplessly.

Originally, Sha Kelu arranged Li Yanan's mother and daughter in his villa, and he really didn't have any other thoughts, but he simply felt that this could save a lot of hotel money, and he lived alone in the villa, and it was quite boring at night, and it was always a good thing for multiple people to chat with him.

But after a few days he regretted it, because the altar honey came!
