Dongsheng Shenzhou Aolai has a Flower and Fruit Mountain, with a fairy stone standing at the top. It is blessed with the sun’s essence and the moon’s radiance, giving birth to a stone monkey. The stone monkey has extraordinary skills and exceptional bravery, and has been pushed to become the master of the Water Curtain Cave. Later, the Stone Monkey sought guidance from Bodhi Patriarch in Hezhou, West Niusi, and obtained the name Sun Wukong. He learned seventy-two transformations, one somersault cloud, and could travel 108000 miles. After returning, he called himself “Monkey King” and went to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea to borrow weapons. He obtained the Great Yu’s Sea God Needle and used the pseudonym “Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick”. It can be big or small, weighing 13500 pounds. Go to Yin Cao Di Fu again, and the name of the anti monkey genus will be erased from the book of life and death.
The Dragon King and the Ksitigarbha King went to the Heavenly Court to file a complaint, and the Jade Emperor wanted to send troops to capture them. Taibai Jinxing suggested summoning Sun Wukong to the Upper Realm and appointing him as the Bi Ma Wen, who would supervise the horses under the Imperial Horse. At first, the Monkey King did not know the size of his official position, but later he found out the truth and felt that he had wronged himself. Therefore, he attacked Tianmen and returned to Huaguo Mountain, calling himself the “Great Sage of Qi Tian”.
The Jade Emperor sent Li Tianwang to lead the heavenly army and generals to capture Sun Wukong. The Monkey King defeated the two generals, Tuota Tianwang and Nezha, in a row. Taibai Jinxing visited Huaguo Mountain for the second time and asked Sun Wukong to ascend to heaven as the Monkey King and manage the Peach Garden. Sun Wukong stole peaches, stirred up the Peach Banquet of the Queen Mother of the West, and stole the Golden Elixir of the Supreme Lord to escape from the Heavenly Palace. The Jade Emperor once again sent Li Tianwang to lead the heavenly soldiers to capture them, but the two sides were unable to compete. Guanyin Bodhisattva recommended Guan Jiangkou Erlang Zhenjun to assist in the battle.
Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen engaged in a gambling battle, with no clear winner. Tai Shang Lao Jun used a hidden weapon to hit Wukong, and Wukong was captured. The Jade Emperor used knives, axes, fire, and lightning to chop Wukong, but could not damage his hair. Taishang Laojun once again realized that the vacant alchemy furnace was being used for training. On July 49th, the furnace was opened, but Sun Wukong remained unharmed and made a large number of moves in the Heavenly Palace. The Jade Emperor invited the Buddha to suppress Sun Wukong at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain. When he was hungry, he gave him iron meatballs to eat, and when he was thirsty, he gave him melted copper juice to drink. After being enlightened by Guanyin Bodhisattva, he followed Tang Monk to the Western Heaven to seek the true scriptures.
