Chapter 9: The Beginning of the Virtuous Monkey
Sun Wukong subdued the owner of the 72nd cave, so he sounded the gong, set up a delicacies in the water curtain cave, poured the cup full of coconut liquid and grape pulp, and celebrated for several days.
Those tigers, leopards, wolves, and insects, the demon king of the seventy-two caves, came to kowtow with a group of monsters all over the mountain, paying tribute to gold, silver, jewelry, weapons and armor.
On this day, the Bull Demon King came to pay homage with a congratulatory gift.
"King, we have tied up some human flesh in the country of Aolai to celebrate for you!"
As soon as the demon king spoke, Sun Wukong lost his appetite.
He raised his eyes and saw a group of demons escorting dozens of bloodless humans into the cave.
Sun Wukong waved his hand: "Let them go!"
"The King. The Bull Demon King was a little surprised, he had never heard of releasing humans: "You don't like human flesh?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I just let it go. ”
Sun Wukong said coldly: "From now on, the monsters in Huaguo Mountain are not allowed to eat people, and I found that they were slaughtered one by one!"
The youkai were taken aback.
However, the Monkey King had an order, and the Demon King of Cave 72 did not dare to disobey - the order to prohibit cannibalism was immediately passed on to the little demon.
The little demons were in an uproar, but Sun Wukong didn't explain.
How is he going to explain it? Is it necessary to spread the wisdom of the future to them, to tell them that all beings are equal?
This can't be done, the patriarch once said, "It's difficult, it's difficult, it's difficult!"
The artistic conception here can also be used as future wisdom, and the spread of ideas requires a social foundation, and the times are different, and it is impossible for the monsters of Huaguoshan to understand the philosophy of later generations.
Soon after the 72 cave master returned to obedience, he took the little demons to dance knives and guns every day, practice martial arts, and show strength in front of Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong watched it for a few days, and he was drowsy.
"Stop playing tricks, all of you. He stopped them: "In vain." ”
He can see that no matter how many monsters there are, they are just mortal soldiers, and they are not defeated by true immortals, and it will probably be useless for him to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace in the future.
Those immortals in the Heavenly Palace have been cultivating for an unknown number of years, and there are so many of them that it is impossible to win by numbers.
"You are not as good as me combined. ”
Sun Wukong said to the 72 cave master that he could sweep away hundreds of thousands of demons in Huaguo Mountain overnight.
If you want to defeat Rulai, you have to rely on his personal strength, and you can't rely on others.
"You put away your knives and guns and practice once a week. ”
Sun Wukong said.
These monsters are all his subordinates, and he doesn't plan to let them fight against the Heavenly Palace, but it is more than enough for the mortal army, and there is no need to cultivate every day.
"But the king ......"
The 72 Cave Master couldn't help but ask, "If we don't practice martial arts, what are we going to do?"
The life of the monsters is extremely boring, and they really don't know what to do except for practicing martial arts, killing people and eating meat.
Sun Wukong shook his head: "I have heard that some of you demon kings often turn into human forms and enter and leave the country of Aolai, why is this?"
"You don't know, my lord. The Demon King immediately replied, "Those human beings are good at making things, and the market is prosperous, and we often have to go and get things that we don't have." ”
Sun Wukong glanced at him: "Are we worse than them?"
The Sheep Demon King hurriedly shook his head.
Sun Wukong immediately smiled: "Then why can't we create those things?"
The demon kings suddenly realized that they vaguely understood what the king wanted to do.
"The king wants to make Huaguo Mountain the same as the world?"
"But the King, we don't know anything about human art. ”
The reaction of the demon kings was exactly the same as Sun Wukong's expectation.
"It's simple. ”
He replied: "We can make friends with the country of Naaolai, go to them and find some talents, and invite them to come and teach technology and develop productive forces." ”
"Productivity?"
The 72 cave master was full of doubts.
Although they don't understand what productivity is, they are a little surprised by Sun Wukong's plan.
"King, if you want talents, just tie them up, why do you need to make friends with humans?"
"That's it!"
The demon kings felt that Sun Wukong took too much care of humans.
Sun Wukong shook his head, there is no need, he does not be a villain - besides, kidnapping is not as simple as letting humans send talents.
"I'm a demon fairy, and I'm good friends with that proud country, I'm afraid they can't ask for it. ”
Sun Wukong said.
As long as there is a little sincerity, how can the king of the Aolai Kingdom refuse his kindness, and it is not necessary to send the talent over with ecstaty.
When the 72 cave master heard him hear this, he thought to himself that he was right.
"The king is wise!"
The Monkey King looks strange, but after all, unlike their group of reckless men, he has a plan in his heart and thinks very thoughtfully.
So the demon kings each returned to the cave and were ordered to pick up the clever little demons.
As soon as the demon king left, the stone lion placed in the water curtain cave couldn't help it.
"King, is this the big thing you said in Sanxingdong?"
Shi Shi asked.
Sun Wukong smiled at it: "This is a trivial matter. ”
What he wants to do is to change the world, but before he can do big things, he must first experiment - Huaguoshan plays this role.
There is a saying in the Book of Heaven, which is called "Matter determines consciousness, and productive forces determine production relations." ”
Sun Wukong thought about it for 20 years and found that the root of all the problems in this world is that productivity is too low - there is obviously an immortal magic method, why should it be used in fighting, not to increase productivity.
He wanted to try it and see what he could do with Huaguoshan.
If Huaguoshan's experiment can be successful, then his job will be much simpler in the future.
The following day, Sun Wukong stepped on the five-colored auspicious clouds and visited the king of Aolai Kingdom.
When he saw that the king was old and frail, he recited a spell and blew some fairy breath on the king.
The king was still a little afraid, but the immortal qi entered his body, and all the stubborn diseases in his body disappeared, and he was full of energy, as if he was ten years younger.
The old king was overjoyed, and after listening to Sun Wukong's intention, he hurriedly agreed.
He immediately convened a court meeting and announced the conclusion of eternal friendship with Huaguoshan.
Sun Wukong also promised to control the demons, as long as Aolai Country does not send troops to offend Huaguo Mountain, Huaguo Mountain will definitely not offend Aolai Country.
After the friendship was concluded, the whole country rejoiced, and the king selected outstanding talents from all walks of life and asked Sun Wukong to bring them back to Huaguo Mountain.
And a year later, Sun Wukong sent people back to Aolai Kingdom.
Not only are these talents intact, but many of them even get the Monkey King Immortal Qi and look a few years younger on the outside.
Since then, the people of Aolai have no doubts, and some sage hermits even took the initiative to go to Huaguo Mountain to teach their skills, hoping that the monkey king could give some rewards.
Since then, Sun Wukong has been given the title of 'Virtuous Monkey' in Aolai Kingdom.
