On the top of Huaguo Mountain, a five-colored stone is exuding dazzling light, only to see that this stone is three zhang six feet five inches high, according to three hundred and sixty-five degrees of Zhou Tian; there is a wide circle of two zhang and four feet, according to the political calendar 24 qi; there is another ninety-nine spirit gathering array around, which provides it with a steady stream of heaven and earth aura.

When you look closely, this five-colored stone is not the one left by Bi Fang and Qingji when they were refining stones to make up the sky, and later this stone was discovered by Wu Zhiqi by chance. Wu Zhiqi sensed it and learned that there was actually a Lingming stone monkey inside, so he laid down the Ninety-Nine Gathering Spirit Array and preached for it for nearly a hundred years.

The five-color stone is innocently displayed every day, the sun is fine and the moon is blooming, and there is a steady supply of aura, but at this time it is the time to be born. On this day, the five-colored stone suddenly burst and produced a stone egg, which was as big as a round ball, and grew when it saw the wind, turning into a stone monkey. The facial features are complete, and the limbs are complete. So he learned to crawl and walk, and worshiped the Quartet. Eyes and two golden rays of light, shooting at the Doufu.

At the time of the birth of the stone monkey, countless powers in heaven and earth were sensitive, and even Qing Ji, who was far away in the spiritual realm, quietly opened his eyes, and said lightly: "This monkey is conceived by the five-color stone, and it comes out of the same origin as the poor Dao, so it should be the son of the poor Dao" After saying that, he bowed deeply in the direction of Wuji Palace, and said respectfully: "This son will ask the teacher!"

In Wude Xingjun's mansion, Wu Zhiqi was feasting and drinking with his brothers, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahaha...... , but my brother was born!" Everyone was puzzled when they heard this, and hurriedly asked, and Wu Zhiqi explained the cause and effect of the incident.

Huang Tianhua was also overjoyed when he heard this: "In this way, this son should be a teacher and a parent, but he is not the little junior brother I am waiting for!" After that, he wanted to go to Huaguo Mountain to see the stone monkey.

Seeing this, everyone responded, and they all wanted to go to Huaguo Mountain to have a look, but at this time, they heard a voice sound in everyone's hearts, "Lingming Stone Monkey has another important responsibility." But it's not time to recognize each other!"

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "We will obey the order!" The person who spoke was the same Patriarch Subodhi who had finished his trip and returned to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the birth of the monkey also alarmed the six saints of the Three Realms.

In the Wa Palace, Nuwa Niangniang was meditating, and suddenly her heart moved. After a silent calculation in his heart, he smiled bitterly and said: "One wrong step, one wrong step!"

In the Yuyu Tianbi Palace of the Shangqing Realm, the Tongtian Sect Master frowned, then stretched out, and said to the Qingniu under the seat: "Niu'er! Go to the Nether Realm! The Earth Immortal Realm has an opportunity for you, whether you can grasp it or not depends on your creation!"

In the Qingwei Tianmiluo Palace in the Yuqing Realm, Yuan Shi Tianzun, who was preaching to several disciples, suddenly stopped. Then he dismissed everyone and got up and headed for the Eight Views Palace.

In the Taiqing Realm Great Red Sky Eight Scenery Palace, Taishang Laojun sighed lightly, "Buddhism should be prosperous!"

In the Western Elysium, the Buddha and the Mother of the Buddha were sitting opposite each other, and suddenly Amitabha Buddha frowned slightly, woke up from his meditation, looked at the Quasi-Ti Taoist and said slowly: "Senior brother." What do you think about this?"

Hearing this, the mother of the Buddha hurriedly said: "My Buddha will be prosperous because of this." ”

The Buddha sighed when he heard the words and said: "The foolish brother naturally knows about this matter, and I am afraid that I am only afraid that Buddhism will flourish and decline!"

Hearing this, the Buddha Mother pondered for a moment. Then he spoke: "Senior brother, I'm worried that my Buddhism has followed in the footsteps of the sect. ”

Hearing this, the Buddha nodded slightly and said: "Buddhism is booming, it has already caused the dissatisfaction of the three Qings, if it prospers, I am afraid that the catastrophe is just around the corner." ”

Hearing this, the Mother of the Buddha shook her head slightly and said, "Senior brother is too worried! Although the sect is known as the dynasty of ten thousand immortals, it only does not cultivate morality, and this is the end of the sect being destroyed." My Buddha is a universal sentient being. Persuade people to be kind, and have immeasurable merits to protect each other. How can calamity befall you?"

When the Buddha heard this, he had to say, "Since the junior brother has already made a plan, the junior brother will decide this matter!"

Zhun Ti nodded slightly when he heard this, turned around and left Elysium, and came to the Great Red Sky Eight Scenery Palace. went to see Taishang Laojun, but saw Taishang Laojun and Yuan Shi Tianzun waiting for him early.

Seeing this, the mother of the Buddha gave a salute to the two, and then sat on the futon on the side, and said straight to the point: "The cause and effect of Taoist friends turning Hu into Buddha needs to be repaid!"

Hearing this, Taishang Laojun said lightly: "I don't know how your friend is going to end it!"

Zhun Ti put his hands together and said: "I am compassionate in Buddhism, and I am willing to pass down the scriptures and redeem all beings in Dongsheng Shenzhou." ”

Hearing this, Taishang Laojun continued to ask, "I don't know how many scriptures you are going to pass down?"

Zhun Ti said lightly: "I heard that Daoyou passed down the three thousand mantras of the Tao Te Ching in Hangu Pass, and my Buddhism will pass down three thousand volumes!"

Yuan Shi Tianzun was furious when he heard this: "Don't you realize that there are too many Taoist friends?"

Hearing this, the Mother of the Buddha said with a smile and said, "I don't know how many volumes Tianzun thinks my Buddha should be handed down?"

Yuan Shi Tianzun thought for a moment when he heard this: "Nine is the extreme, at most nine hundred and eighty-one volumes can be handed down!"

Hearing this, the Zhun Ti Buddha Mother nodded slightly and said, "Just according to what Tianzun said!"

Yuan Shi Tianzun was greatly surprised when he heard this, and he didn't know why Zhun Ti was so good at talking today, isn't it stupid! At this time, he saw Taishang Laojun say lightly, "I don't know how many volumes of Dafa have been handed down in Buddhism?"

The corners of the Buddha's mouth turned slightly upturned when she heard this, and she looked at Yuan Shi Tianzun and said, "No more, no less, exactly eighty-one volumes!"

Yuan Shi Tianzun was furious when he heard this: "The bald donkey dares to play poor roads!"

Hearing this, the Mother of the Buddha laughed and said, "Could it be that even his face has thickened when he fell from the holy throne, and Tianzun has to regret it?"

Yuan Shi Tianzun's face was flushed when he heard this, but he saw Taishang Laojun shaking his head and said: "The scriptures should not be passed on lightly! Buddhism needs to send the reincarnation of the Buddha, and walk all the way to Lingshan with a mortal body to obtain the true scriptures,!"

Hearing this, the Buddha Mother said lightly: "Yes!"

Hearing this, Lao Tzu continued: "It's hard to change it!"

Zhun Ti nodded again in agreement, and then added: "Those who are above the realm of Daomen Daluo should not be difficult to learn from the scriptures. ”

Hearing this, Lao Jun also nodded in agreement, and then instructed the Xuandu Grand Master: "Send off." With that, he closed his eyes and said no more.

Looking at the back of Zhun Ti leaving, Yuan Shi Tianzun couldn't help but snort coldly: "Hmph! It's hard to change a scripture! I want to get good! I want to see how you, a Buddha with no power to restrain a chicken, got to the West Heaven!"

In Elysium, Zhun Ti laughed and said, "There are also big and small calamities! If the poor road says that there is difficulty, then there is difficulty! Not to mention that the monks have been through ups and downs all the way, how can there not be a few followers!"

......

With Subodhi's command. All the disciples of the Spirit Sect did not dare to go to Huaguo Mountain to visit the Lingming Stone Monkey, but they called this little stone monkey really lived a carefree life.

Although the disciples could not go to Huaguo Mountain to recognize each other, Wu Zhiqi secretly instructed the second marshal of Ma Liu and the second general of Bangba, who were left behind, to protect the Lingming Stone Monkey while hiding their strength, and lead them to the path of cultivation as soon as possible.

After a few years like this, the Lingming Stone Monkey successfully found the Water Curtain Cave under the reminder of the four monkeys, and brought all the monkeys to the Water Curtain Cave. Since then, he has been the king of Huaguo Mountain, calling himself the "Monkey King", and all the birds of prey and fierce beasts are under the jurisdiction of the Monkey King.

More than ten years later, the monkey king was feasting in the cave, but saw an old monkey suddenly fall to the ground, the Monkey King was greatly surprised when he saw this, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with this old monkey?"

The little monkeys cried and cried: "The old monkey is dead!"

When the Monkey King heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What is old death!"

Ba Tian, one of the four monkeys left by Wu Zhiqi, rolled his eyes when he heard this, and hurriedly explained: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the lives of our living beings, and we have been waiting since birth. His name is displayed in the life and death book of Lord Yama, and the life and death book indicates the number of lives we are waiting for, and as soon as the number of lives arrives, there will be ghosts who come to get people, and this old monkey thinks that the number of lives has arrived!"

The Monkey King was silent for a long time when he heard this, and said sadly: "Could it be that I will go with the old monkey one day, and I will no longer be happy today!"

When Ba Tian heard this, he hurriedly hit the railroad while it was hot: "The king doesn't know! There are third-class people in this world who are immortal and do not fall under the jurisdiction of the king of Hades!"

When the Monkey King heard this, he hurriedly said, "Do you know which third-class people it is?"

Hearing this, Ba Tian hurriedly said: "It is the Buddha, the immortal and the sacred. These three are free from reincarnation and are immortal. Live with the heavens, the earth, the mountains and rivers. ”

The Monkey King scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know where these three live?"

Hearing this, Ba Tian hurriedly said: "These three are only in the famous mountains and ancient temples, and in the ancient cave immortal mansion. ”

The Monkey King was full of joy when he heard this: "I will go down the mountain tomorrow to seek immortals and visit the Tao, and I must learn a method of immortality to avoid the difficulties of Yan Jun." ”

When Ba Tian heard this, he immediately ordered the monkeys to go down and arrange a banquet to see off the Monkey King.

After a few moments, the banquet was arranged. I saw that the stone case was full of some rare and exotic fruits, among which there were many acquired spiritual fruits such as Poria cocos, yellow essence, Zhu Guo, fire dates, etc., and there was an altar of monkey wine that was continuously moved to the stone case. The group of monkeys respects the Monkey King and sits down. Each of them lined up on the lower side of the shoulder, and one by one took turns to come forward to toast and drink for a day.

The next day, the Monkey King got up early, ordered the monkeys to pack up some fruits and put them on the bamboo raft, and then took a bamboo pole as a penny, and then said goodbye to the monkeys to board the raft alone, fluttering and drifting towards the sea, all the way to the boundary of the South Ganbu Continent by taking advantage of the wind.

The Monkey King has been in the southern part of the continent to string big cities, travel to small counties, and do not feel that it has been more than eight or nine years, but unfortunately has not encountered the fairy fate, but almost died in the mouth of the tiger and leopard, and met the villains several times, and was almost caught to boil soup and stew. Fortunately, Tai Sui ordered his subordinates to protect him all the way, and he survived.

On this day, the Monkey King suddenly traveled to the West Sea, and thought to himself, "There are no immortals and Buddhas here, and the immortals must be overseas!"

When the Monkey King visited Xiniu Hezhou for a long time, he suddenly saw a beautiful mountain, and couldn't help but climb to the top of the mountain to watch, but at this time he heard a person in the mountain singing: "Watching the chess is rotten, the wood is chopped, and the valley mouth of the cloud side is Xu Xing." Selling salaries and drinking, laughing wildly and cultivating himself. The path is high in autumn, and the pine roots of the moon pillow are bright in the sky. Recognize the old forest, climb the cliff and cross the ridge, and break the withered vine with an axe. Harvest into a load, in the song market, easy rice three liters. There is no competition, and the price is mediocre. will not be cunning, no honor and disgrace, and will prolong life calmly. Everywhere they meet, they are not immortals, they are Taoists, and they sit quietly and talk about "Yellow Court". ”

When the Monkey King heard this, he said with joy: "The gods are hiding here!"

The woodcutter was cutting wood, but he saw a huge monkey head suddenly poking out in front of him, and then he saw a five-foot-tall monkey coming out of the bushes, wearing a Confucian shirt, stepping on a pair of cloth shoes, and wearing a red flower on his head, and said to himself comically: "Old fairy!

The woodcutter was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly said: "The king said that he was laughing! Old man, I don't have enough food and clothing, how dare I be the word 'immortal'?"

When the Monkey King heard this, he pestered: "Since you are not an immortal, how can you sing the song of the immortals!

When the woodcutter heard this, he laughed and said, "I am not a fairy, but I am a neighbor of a fairy!" After that, he pointed to the monkey king and said: "This mountain is called Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, there is a three-star cave in the mountain, and there is a god in the cave, known as the ancestor of Su Bodhi." If you want to find immortals, follow that small road and go south for seven or eight miles, which is his home. ”

The Monkey King was overjoyed when he heard this, and after thanking the woodcutter, he couldn't wait to run towards the direction of the three-star cave of the slanting moon. After the monkey king left, he saw that the woodcutter had changed into a golden-armored man with a halberd in his hand, and sighed in his mouth: "Finally, this monkey has been sent to Fangcun Mountain, and the hard work of more than ten years is really enough for our brothers!"
