Chapter 4: The Monkey King
In Huaguo Mountain, the struggle between monkeys and lions has never ended. To be exact, it is the struggle between the little monkey and the lion.
The stubborn lion was already stunned, and every once in a while, he broke into the territory of the monkey group and engaged in a lion monkey fight with the little monkey by name.
As a result, without exception, every time I was played by the little monkey, the bare area of my body grew little by little.
Even, the little monkey sometimes wonders how the lion will survive the winter in the future.
It's been a long time. The lion's spirit was visibly tired and weakened, and the little monkey was even more at ease.
The days of the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain slowly returned to calm.
Months passed in a hurry.
Huaguo Mountain ushered in an unusually rare torrential rainstorm.
One day and one night, endlessly.
In the wind and rain, on the top of a mountain.
The little monkey squatted motionless, like a stubborn rock, shielding itself from the wind and the rain, carefully protecting the grass in its arms.
"Monkey ......"
"Don't speak. As soon as Xiaocao spoke, he was interrupted by the little monkey: "Thousands of years? Or ten thousand years? Isn't it all like this? What is this wind and rain?"
"But you're a monkey now. Xiaocao said quietly: "It's not like a stone, you will get sick when you get wet in the rain and wind." ”
"I'm not leaving. The little monkey stubbornly said, "I can't watch you being broken by the wind." ”
"If it is broken, it will grow again, and if it withers, it will still be reborn in the next year, hasn't it always been like this?"
"No, it's different. The little monkey said, "I couldn't move before, I had no choice. But now I have the ability to choose not to hurt you again. ”
"I've made up my mind. The little monkey said heavily.
The rain and wind show no signs of stopping.
Thunder after thunder, tearing through the sky, endlessly.
"Little Monkey, Little Monkey ......"
In the rain, an old monkey staggered.
"Old monkey, why are you here?"
There is only one monkey in the group that has a name, and its name is "Wang".
"Little monkey, something has happened. The old monkey looked anxious: "There is a monkey who was hiding from the rain under the tree and was killed by the thunder!"
"Killed by thunder?" the little monkey stood on the ground: "Why don't you go to the cave to hide from the rain?"
The old monkey said helplessly: "How can there be so many caves?"
"Why not? The previous owner opened a cave in Huaguo Mountain, which could accommodate three or two hundred monkeys. Xiaocao interjected.
"Ah, the cave opened by the previous owner?" the little monkey was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiaocao suspiciously.
For the little monkey thunder, they must return here every night, accompanied by the unknown and talking grass, they sigh once they see it, and sigh incredible.
The grass in front of her was the only plant in Huaguo Mountain that could speak, although she didn't have a mouth.
......
It was the source of the mountain stream where they usually bathed.
Overhead is a waterfall and a flying spring, and the water at the foot of the mountain is connected to the sea.
Braving the pouring rain, the monkeys gathered on the hill opposite the waterfall.
Doubts, hopes, apprehensions......
Who knows if there really is a cave after the waterfall?
If not, if they don't, they will not be killed if they rush over? Even if they don't die, if they fall from such a high place, they will surely fall to their deaths.
"I'll try. ”
The Monkey King stepped forward.
The sound was not loud, but the monkeys immediately fell silent.
"I'm coming, king. ”
The little monkey stopped the monkey king, only he believed in Xiaocao unconditionally, without any hesitation, retreated, ran with all his strength, closed his eyes, and rushed into the waterfall spring a zhang away.
After the waterfall, there is no water and no waves.
The little monkey fixed his body, here is a huge cave, the cave seems to have been inhabited, inside the stone seat stone bed, stone pot stone stove, stone basin stone bowl.
In the middle of the entrance to the cave, there is a stone pillar.
There is a line of regular script on the pier:
Huaguo Mountain blessed land, water curtain cave cave.
There are green bamboo and plum orchids growing and embellishment, which is really a beautiful place.
The little monkey introduced the monkeys into the water curtain cave, grabbed the pots and bowls one by one, occupied the stove and fought for the bed, moved over, moved over, and was excited.
The Monkey King summoned the little monkey to him.
"Monkey, I have something to tell you. ”
"King, what's the matter?" the little monkey squatted in front of the monkey king.
"I will abdicate, and from today onwards, you will be our new king. The Monkey King was solemn and solemn.
"King, how can this be done?" the little monkey was startled.
"Why can't you do it?" the Monkey King's eyes glared: "You have saved my life, driven away the lion several times, and found a place for us to settle down, and everyone believes in you, you should not give up this throne." ”
The monkeys were also quiet.
The Monkey King stared at the little monkey as if admiring a magnificent work of art, and said with satisfaction: "You are dressed in gold and handsome, so you will be called the 'Monkey King' in the future." ”
"Monkey King!"
"Monkey King!"
"Monkey King!"
The voices of support have come and gone.
......
After the little monkey succeeded the monkey king, he often wandered under the big peach tree that was broken in two, and sighed.
There was one more thing that overwhelmed the little monkey.
There are often some female monkeys, both large and small, who stare at him with a strange watery look at him at the beginning, and rub into his arms when they catch the opportunity later.
The little monkey ran away every time.
Another month.
A big event happened in Huaguo Mountain, relative to the monkey group.
The old Monkey King is dead.
The internal injuries that did not recover for a long time, hit the heavy rain for three days and three nights, and the cold air entered the body, which was undoubtedly worse, and after persevering for a month, the old monkey king finally accepted death in peace.
Soon after, there was another big event, again relative to the monkey group.
The paranoid lion, who was bent on revenge and was constantly being played, never appeared in Huaguo Mountain again, and in the long-term struggle with the little monkey, he became thinner and thinner, and finally became skinny and was preyed upon by a tiger, and his bones were gone.
......
"I didn't think about killing it. The little monkey held his head.
"You didn't kill it. Xiaocao corrected.
"But it died because of me. The little monkey said in frustration.
"It's your enemy, and you're in a strange state right now. Xiaocao continued to correct.
"I don't know. The little monkey scratched his head irritably, and made a mess of the golden retriever: "I don't know why, but I never wanted to hurt any living being, whoever it was." ”
Xiaocao suddenly stopped talking.
The little monkey couldn't see her expression.
"Why don't you speak. The little monkey was the first to break the silence.
Xiaocao stood silently, falling into a distant memory: "I seem to have heard the same thing a long time ago. ”
"What kind of person is the former owner of Huaguo Mountain?" asked the little monkey.
"At that time, I was still in a mess, and I couldn't remember a lot of it. "Little grass road.
The little monkey and the little grass have their own agendas.
Gradually, there was silence.
I don't know how long it was, a quiet night.
Suddenly, there was a sound of grass like a dream.
"Monkey, I want to transform into a ...... too"
In the night when the moth was chirping, the little monkey suddenly raised its head.
Looking at the grass.
I said silently in my heart.
"I see. ”
......
A few days later.
Water Curtain Cave.
On the throne, the little monkey held his cheeks in a daze.
An old monkey asked, "King, why have you been sullen for a few days?"
The little monkey said, "Do you know how to transform into a shape?"
The old monkey was stunned for a moment and sighed: "You need to cultivate, and with mana, you can transform into a shape." ”
The monkey's eyes lit up: "How to cultivate?"
The old monkey said sadly: "Somehow, Huaguo Mountain has already broken off its cultivation?"
Monkey Daqi: "What should I do?"
The old monkey calmed down and said, "Go to the sea, find the ancient cave immortal mountain, and ask the immortal to ask." ”
"To the sea?"
The little monkey muttered.
