Chapter 16: The Monkey King, the Monkey King

But it was said that Mrs. Li was slightly cloudy and foggy, and after a short time, he came to the Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave, only to see him fall the clouds, separate the water curtain, and hear a lively scene inside.

The monkeys were preparing melons and fruits, congratulating the Monkey King, and when they saw Li Taiwei coming, they immediately came over to pull.

Li Taiwei followed the monkey to the front row, saw them in class, worshiped the monkey king, the beautiful monkey king is on the throne, the two positions on the left of the throne are sitting two gibbon monkeys, and on the right are sitting two red jiji monkeys, Li Taiwei also has a seat, next to the gibbon monkey.

Mrs. Li nodded slightly and sat down, and the Monkey King immediately got up and smiled at Mrs. Li:

"I said to give you a ride, you have to say no, look, you are too slow to come, we have been waiting for you for a long time, even a turtle can climb Huaguo Mountain!"

Mrs. Li bowed slightly and said, "I have injuries on my body, and I don't dare to hurry hard, so I came late and made the king wait for a long time." ”

The Monkey King jumped down from the throne and said to Li Taiwei:

"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, I heard what my monkeys said before, you saved them from fire and water twice, I thank you for my monkeys, we monkeys have kindness and revenge, what do you want, say it and listen, I am now powerful, I can't help you solve it." ”

Li Taiwei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's the right thing to do." ”

Mrs. Li thought of something and asked cautiously, "King, do you really not remember me?"

When the Monkey King heard this, he looked puzzled, thought about it carefully, and still didn't think of anything, when did he meet a dragon demon and forget him?

The Monkey King shook his head and asked, "Did we know each other?"

Li Taiwei knew that he didn't think about it, and yes, although it was a life-saving grace for himself, it was just a gesture for the Monkey King. So he said:

"Do you remember when you were born three hundred years ago, you came to the long crucian river to drink water, and put a golden carp that fell on the shore and was about to suffocate into the water?"

The Monkey King scratched his head and asked, "Is it the little carp that stumps you?"

Mrs. Li nodded vigorously and said, "Exactly, if the Monkey King hadn't saved me at that time, I wouldn't have survived until now!"

The Monkey King jumped up and patted Li Taiwei on the shoulder, and said:

"Little carp, it's okay, I haven't seen you for three hundred years, and you have become a dragon with the cultivation of heavenly immortals! Since you are so close to my Water Curtain Cave, are you interested in joining our Water Curtain Cave? I will make you the general of the Divine Dragon!"

Li Taiwei has long coveted the monkey wine in the Water Curtain Cave, and his Longmen Stream has nothing to do, although it is a little noisy here, but it is better than being a deserted cultivator. So he knelt down on one knee in front of the Monkey King of the Water Curtain Cave and shouted:

"Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave Shenlong General Li Taiwei see the Monkey King!"

Suddenly, the monkeys cheered, did the same, knelt on one knee, and shouted in unison to the Monkey King on the throne:

"See the Monkey King!"

The Monkey King scratched his ears and cheeks happily and shouted:

"Haha, come ajourn, children, let's get drunk tonight. ”

The monkeys cheered and enjoyed themselves, and the gibbon monkey said: "I don't know where the king learned such a method, and even the demon king of the mixed world is not an opponent. ”

The Monkey King said: "I took a bamboo raft, tied melons and fruits, said goodbye to you and others, drifted with the tide, drifted across the East Sea, and went ashore to Nanbu Island. ”

"I learned human language and portraits in Nanzhan Buzhou, wearing this clothes, wearing this shoes, swinging and swaying, and traveled for more than eight or nine years, looking for immortals and imitating the Tao, but there was no Tao. ”

"I crossed the sea of the Western Ocean again, arrived at the boundary of Xiniu Hezhou, visited for a long time, and finally let me meet an ancestor in a mountain, and passed on the true fruit of my longevity with the sky, the great method of immortality and immortality. ”

The monkeys congratulated and raised their glasses in celebration and said, "Congratulations to the king for acquiring good skills and learning the method of immortality." ”

Li Taiwei also raised his glass and congratulated: "I don't know what kind of spell the king practiced, because of the king, I got a law decision by chance, called the Heavenly Decision, and I am willing to share it with the king." ”

The Monkey King shook his head and said, "Until you get the Heaven Replenishment Decision, how many years did it take to cultivate to the fairyland like today?"

Mrs. Li raised her head and replied confidently: "It only took three hundred years." ”

The Monkey King laughed and said, "Do you know how many years I've spent cultivating until now?"

Mrs. Li shook her head slightly to indicate that she didn't know, and the Monkey King smiled:

"I said goodbye to the monkeys, left home to seek immortals for 20 years, 10 years on the road, and spent seven years under the ancestors, and the senior brothers to learn language and politeness, preaching scriptures, learning words and burning incense, in my spare time to sweep the floor and hoe the garden, raise flowers and trees, find firewood and light fire, carry water and pulp. In the end, it took three years to practice the Tao and acquire the current skills. ”

Li Taiwei and the monkeys were shocked, and said in a lost voice: "The king really only took three years to have such a cultivation now?"

The Monkey King smiled: "That's nature, can't I wait?"

Li Taiwei was already frightened, his heart was sour, he couldn't taste it for a long time, he had cultivated for three hundred years to reach the cultivation of heavenly immortals, and he was already complacent, the Monkey King only took three years to cultivate to the realm where he can't even see through it, where do you still need to be regarded as a treasure to make up for the heavens.

Mrs. Li took a sip of monkey wine to suppress her surprise and asked:

"The king is really a heavenly asset, I don't know which mountain the king is practicing, what kind of law he is cultivating, and which patriarch can teach the king such a talent that is not encountered in a thousand calamities. ”

The Monkey King waved his hand and said: "What I cultivate is a great product of the Heavenly Immortals, as for the rest, I really don't blame me for hiding and not fighting righteousness, it is really my master who said it to me, and I don't let outsiders know about it." ”

Although Mrs. Li was a little disappointed, she still knew that opportunities were hard to come by, so she said:

"The king doesn't need to mind, I think that those high-ranking people have their own tempers, and ordinary people can't see them!"

The Monkey King smiled again, "Little ones, I still have a happy event to tell you. ”

The monkeys asked, "What is the joy?"

The Monkey King said happily: "I'm glad that I finally have a surname." ”

The monkeys were happy to ask, "What is the king's surname?"

The Monkey King said: "My surname is Sun, and my legal name is Wukong." ”

When the monkeys heard this, they applauded and said, "The king is the old grandson, and we are all the second grandson, the third grandson, the younger grandson, the grandson of a family, the grandson of a country, and the grandson of a litter!" (1)

The monkeys had a happy event today, each happy, let go and drank, and staggered behind him, and none of them were standing. Li Taiwei was also dizzy and dizzy, her eyes were blurred, and she saw that there was no trace of the Monkey King Sun Wukong in the Water Curtain Cave, so she came to the stone cliff opposite the Water Curtain Cave again.

But I didn't want anyone to arrive first, as soon as the cold wind blew, Mrs. Li woke up a little bit, and saw that there were already two people on the top of the cliff, it was the Monkey King Sun Wukong and the purple-clothed girl Zixia.

Note (1): The dialogue of Sun Wukong's name refers to the second chapter of the original Journey to the West
