Chapter 4 Fly into the sky
Sun Xiaokong with extraordinary talent and hard work to make rapid progress, at this time he has been able to fly to the half of Mount Tai's sky, he stayed in the middle of the sky, overlooking the entire Mount Tai mountain scenery, the whole Mount Tai is under his feet, he feels extremely proud. However, he still couldn't stay too far in the air, and he felt like he was going to fall down after a moment of pause in the air. The monkey looked at each other and said, "This is just the first stage of the second layer."
Sun Xiaokong continued to practice hard towards a higher level of exercises, after a while he was able to fly higher, now he was on the ground and was able to fly high, he looked down at the sky, the white clouds were already under his feet, and he was able to stay in the air for a longer time. The monkey couldn't stop nodding in praise.
After another period of training, Sun Xiaokong had clearly felt the changes in his body when he used the Soaring Technique, and now he was like a bird in the air, he could no longer feel his weight, he was able to fly freely in the sky as he wanted, and he no longer had to worry about the length of stay.
Once, Sun Xiaokong wanted to try how far he could fly, so he used all his strength to fly in the sky, he flew over Mount Tai, and then flew over the land beyond Mount Tai, and then flew forward, and then flew over a sea, he continued to fly forward, and found that there was still a sea in the sea except for some islands. He thought that this must have flown to the end of the sky, and at this time he also felt that his strength was exhausted, so he flew back. He told the monkey about the situation, and the monkey stroked his palm and said, "Son, you should have flown to the East China Sea and the South China Sea." It's a delight."
However, he couldn't continue to practice because there was no master to guide him. He relied on his own exploration and extraordinary comprehension ability to practice to this point, and without the guidance of a famous teacher, he felt that if he continued to practice, he might go astray. So Sun Xiaokong had no choice but to stop there. He can only fly now, but he can't control the clouds. At the high level of the art of soaring, flying and driving clouds are two completely different concepts. Flying requires physical strength, which limits the distance you can fly, because you feel that you have exhausted your strength and have to return, unlike driving clouds, which uses the buoyancy of clouds and does not need to use your physical strength, so you can fly as much as you want.
However, Sun Xiaokong already felt very satisfied, he learned to fly, and he felt that he was a small Monkey King. However, he didn't have a weapon, he thought that his grandfather Sun Wukong used a golden hoop stick, and he wanted to make a stick himself as a weapon. So he found the master who made the instrument to help him build an iron rod.
However, after being admonished by the monkey phase, Sun Xiaokong is also very clear about his shortcomings. Because he didn't have the guidance of a famous teacher, his fighting ability was not strong. If he plays against others, he may run faster and farther than others, but if they want to compete with him for skill and moves, he may be at a disadvantage.
On this day, Sun Xiaokong was practicing flying. High in the sky, he suddenly found that a group of people had broken into the Peach Blossom Cave. Xiaokong hurriedly put away the exercises and went to find the monkey to tell him about it. When he arrived in the cave, he found that several monkey captains had gathered in the hall, and it turned out that everyone knew about it, so Xiao Kong hurriedly went to see what was going on with everyone. I saw that the group of people who broke into the peach blossom cave were frantically picking peaches in the peach forest, and they looked around nervously while picking, as if they were afraid that someone would kick them out. The monkey captains were furious and hurriedly rushed up to drive them away. It turns out that this fairy fruit peach is a specialty of the peach blossom cave, although it is not as good as the fairy peach in the peach orchard in the sky, but this fairy fruit peach was planted by the great sage with the seeds of stealing the fairy peach. This peach can only ripen once in three years, the peach is big and sweet, although the effect can not be compared with the fairy peach, but this peach can also relieve heat and fever, invigorate blood and eliminate blood stasis, and eat it to prevent the occurrence of various diseases. Therefore, the fairy fruit peach has always been regarded as the treasure of the peach blossom cave, that is, even the monkey captains in the cave usually do not pick peaches easily, but let everyone taste the delicious food at every major festival. Sometimes, the cave will also give some peaches to those who go to the mountain to worship.
Because of its orderly management and strict discipline, Taohuadong has never committed any offence against the villagers under the mountain, so it has always maintained a harmonious relationship with the nearby villagers. The nearby villagers also respect the reputation of Peach Blossom Cave and have never violated it. But how could this be the case this time? The monkey captains were a little puzzled.
In order to find out the truth of the matter, the monkey invited a few villagers who were picking peaches into the cave, and finally understood the reason for the incident.
It turned out that during this period, the weather has been dry and rainless for a long time, and the crops in the geography are about to die of drought, so the farmers beat gongs and drums and begged for rain, and when the farmers begged for rain, the rain finally came, but this heavy rain was seven days and seven nights, so that the seedlings that were already dying were drowned, and the villagers had no harvest, so they had to beg everywhere. But this year, this situation is everywhere, and there is no way to get anything to eat, so in order to survive, everyone has to do whatever it takes, so today they stole to the Peach Blossom Cave.
The monkey asked, "What about the grain you stored in the past?" Didn't every household have some grain in good times?"
The farmers said, "In the past few years, where there is still grain in stock, everyone has eaten up everything they can eat, even the weeds in the fields and the bark on the trees, and in some places there have even been cases of cannibalism"
The monkey sighed, gave the men some food, and sent them down the mountain.
In fact, the monkey also knew about the disaster under the mountain before, but he didn't expect the situation to be so bad, but fortunately, this peach blossom cave is a feng shui treasure, so he didn't suffer from this difficulty. This peach blossom cave is like spring in all seasons, warm in winter and cool in summer, the climate is humid all year round, the grass and trees are lush in all seasons, the harvest is guaranteed by drought and flood, and the wind and rain are smooth. In addition, under the careful management of the monkey phase and a group of knowledgeable monkey leaders, it is an orderly and prosperous place, which is a paradise independent of the world.
However, after the monkey captains came down the mountain, the situation was actually more serious than that. After descending the mountain, the monkey leaders often found that a large number of hungry people were displaced on the road, and the people had no food and clothing, and even starved on the road, and the corpses were piled up. Even more serious is the plague in some places because many people who died are left unburied.
It turns out that it is not only the simple cause of drought and flood that causes all this; during this period, the climate has undergone serious changes, the climate is reversed, the celestial phenomena are unpredictable, the weather is sometimes bitterly cold, sometimes it is very hot, the seasons are indistinguishable, it is cloudy and sunny, sometimes there are stars in the daytime, the sun appears at night for no reason, snowflakes fall in the summer for no reason, and sometimes there is thunder in the winter. Under the influence of such extreme weather, it is inevitable that people will die worse than life.
After learning of this situation, everyone was extremely angry, and they accused God of dereliction of duty and reckless behavior, and hated Heaven for ignoring the warmth and coldness of the world, and the people did not care whether they lived or died. The monkey muttered to himself: "If there is a great sage, I am afraid that his old man will not care... ”
After a period of life in the Peach Blossom Cave, Sun Xiaokong has learned some about the world, and he has become a righteous, idealistic, and ambitious teenager under the guidance of the monkey and the monkey elders. The scene of the people suffering greatly stimulated him, and he was filled with righteous indignation, and he vowed to seek justice for the people.
One day, the monkey was about to put porridge and give alms to the people nearby, when Sun Xiaokong walked up, his face was grim, and his eyes burst with a resolute light. 孙小空 says:
"Father, I'm going to leave here and get justice for the people!"
The monkey was taken aback and said, "Son, where are you going?"
Xiaokong replied, "I'm going to Heavenly Court." ”
"What? you're going to Heavenly Court?" the monkey seemed to suspect that he had misheard.
"Yes, I will go to Heaven to seek justice for the people. ”
The monkey looked at the small space in front of him in a daze, and did not speak for a long time. After a while, he asked in an aggravated tone:
"Kid, are you telling the truth?
Sun Xiaokong nodded firmly.
The monkey knew that persuasion was useless, so he changed his mind and said: "In this way, child, going to heaven is not trivial, we are still ready to prepare, discuss a way, and see how to pass." ”
So Sun Xiaokong agreed.
But at dinner that day, Monkey Xiang drugged Xiaokong's food and locked Sun Xiaokong up.
After Sun Xiaokong woke up, he found himself in a solid small stone house, he pushed the door, the door was closed, and he couldn't open it. He looked at the window, which was a very small window, reinforced with iron pillars in the frame, and only some light could pass through from outside. He understood that he was locked up.
However, Sun Xiaokong did not give up, he secretly tried to escape.
Sun Xiaokong was locked up in the small stone house for two days and two nights, where he ate and slept well, did not struggle to resist, and was kind to the guards who delivered the food, and did not see any abnormal reaction.
However, on the third day, when the guards opened the door of the small stone house, they found that Sun Xiaokong was gone, and Sun Xiaokong left a letter on the stone bed in the house, in which he said that he had gone to heaven.
