South China Sea Myth

When the macaque heard this, he shook his head and said, "I am a disciple of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and I have been ordered to practice here. The female demon does not give up, and she uses both soft and hard: "I was destined to become a demon in my previous life; Because I have a fate with you, I propose to you today. If you don't marry me, then I'll have to die. In the future, I will be the wife of the demon, and I will give birth to the devil's son and grandson, and kill thousands of living beings, and then the snowfield will become the devil's world. So, please think twice, take into account the overall situation, and agree to my request. "

When the macaque heard this, he said to himself, "If I marry her, I will break my vows; If I am united to her, it will cause great sin. Thinking of this, the monkey followed along, and went to Putuo Mountain to find Guanyin Bodhisattva and ask him what to do. Guanyin thought for a moment and said, "This is the will of the heavens, and it is an auspicious omen. You can unite with her and reproduce humans in this snowy region, and you are doing great good. As an immortal, you should be brave in seeing good, and go and marry the witch quickly. "

After asking Guanyin Bodhisattva, the macaque and the witch became a partner. Later, the couple gave birth to six baby monkeys. These six monkeys have different temperaments and hobbies. The macaques, incarnated by the gods, sent these six little monkeys to the fruit grove and let them each find food for life. Three years later, the monkey father went to visit his children and found that they had given birth to 500. At this time, the forest will have less fruit and will soon run out. When the little monkeys saw the old monkey coming, they shouted, "What are we going to eat in the future!"

They all spread their hands, and their faces were very miserable. When the macaque saw this, he said to himself, "I have married according to the will of Avalokiteshvara and have given birth to so many offspring." Now that the children don't have anything to eat, what should I do? I'm going to report it to Guanyin. Thinking of this, he went to Putuo Mountain to ask the sage. The Bodhisattva said, "Don't worry, your descendants, I will be able to raise them, and you will do as I say." So, the macaque obeyed the order and took the seeds of the natural grains in the Sumeru Mountains. Scattered it on the earth, and the earth was covered with all kinds of grains without ploughing, and the monkeys slowly shortened their tails because of their abundance of food, and began to speak, and gradually became men.

This is the ancestor of the snowy region. The story of the macaque turning into a human has been widely spread among Tibetan people, recorded in ancient scriptures, and also moved to the murals of the Potala Palace and Luo Linka. The cave where the macaques lived, folklore has it that it is located on Kampot Hill near Zedang, and "Zedang" is also named because it is "a place where monkeys play".

The mythical fool said to Li Ping: "Do you know the legend of Huangshan's "Monkey Watching the Sea"? "

——In the original Taiping County, there is a beautiful village - Xianyuan Village. There is a family named Zhao Delong in the village who is a scholar. They had a daughter named Zhangzhu, who was smart and beautiful. In the Yellow Mountain, not far from Xianyuan Village, there is a cave, and there is a spirit monkey in the cave, which has been cultivated for 3,600 years and will change thirty-six times. The spirit monkey passed by Xianyuan Village, looked around, saw the handsome palm beads, and fell in love at first sight.

So, he changed into a white-faced scholar and claimed to be Sun Junwu, the son of Sun Guangwen, the owner of Huangshan Village, who came to Zhao's house in the evening, and asked to spend the night because it was late. The old couple of the Zhao family saw that he was handsome, richly dressed, and polite, so they happily left him to stay and set up a banquet. After drinking three glasses of wine, Sun Gongzi stated to the old couple his admiration for Zhangzhu, begged to be accepted as a son-in-law, and swore to serve the second elder for a long time. When the old couple heard these sweet words, their hearts were very happy. discussed with his daughter, and Zhangzhu was also very happy with his talented and beautiful grandson.

The spirit monkey returned to the cave, thinking about the palm beads, and hurriedly turned the big and small monkeys into people. A mighty team went to Xianyuan Zhao's house to greet his relatives. The palm beads were carried to the cave, and I saw that the furnishings were rich and the guests were full. After the banquet was dispersed late at night, Sun Gongzi was embraced into the cave room by the guests, and when he woke up, he was surprised to find that Sun Gongzi had grown a body of fluff. It turned out that Sun Gongzi was drunk and showed the original form of a monkey. Zhangzhu was very angry, and took the opportunity of the spirit monkey to get drunk and fall asleep, and fled outside, and went straight to his home. After the spirit monkey woke up, he knew that he had revealed his original form, and he was alarmed by the palm beads, so he drank and ordered the monkeys to go out of the cave to look for it, and chased them to the Furong Ridge at the foot of the mountain, and there was no shadow of the bride. Since the spirit monkey lost the palm bead, he thought about it, but there was no magic method to think about, so he had to climb the hanging rock behind the cave every day, sit on the stone, and look blankly at the village of Taiping County in the northeast direction. After a long time, it has become the stone scenery of Huangshan today.

Ah Bin and Ah Lang listened and said, "The amorous monkey has not received the love of hope." Li Ping said: "It seems that monkeys are quite amorous like humans." Doctor Myth said, "Yes, the female monkey is worried that the male monkey will see something different, and when she sees a beautifully dressed woman coming to the island, she will be jealous and must drive her away." The male monkey is worried about the female monkey's watery poplar flower, and when he finds the man staying in front of the female monkey, he is ready to attack, and the man will be scratched in the face if he is not careful. "

Li Daping found the person in charge of Monkey Island and inquired about the treasure knife and the treasure hoe, and said that the jackal spirit and the crow spirit were also looking for the treasure knife and the treasure hoe. The person in charge said: "There are several monkeys missing from Monkey Island, and I heard that there is a wolf that is very fierce, and after entering Monkey Island, he bites a monkey and escapes, and when we come out to intervene, the jackal is gone." As for the monkeys, they are also dead. Ah Lang judged: "It must be a bad thing done by the jackal, we must find the jackal spirit as soon as possible." "

Yang Yang asked: "Why did the monkey die, in my impression, didn't Sun Wukong cancel the book of life and death for the monkey at the Lord of Yama?" Dr. Myth said: "My impression, the stone monkey Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West" will never die, and Sun Wukong is not afraid of death. Through the vivid depiction of the novel, we see the image of the Monkey King immortal. In order to get a powerful weapon, Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea and directly snatched the Dinghai Divine Needle of the East China Sea. In order to give his monkeys a chance to live forever, Sun Wukong actually ran to the underworld in front of Lord Yama to make a fuss and tore up the book of life and death of Lord Yama. In order to buy Sun Wukong, the Jade Emperor made him an official in the heavenly court twice, but Sun Wukong felt that the official position was too low, and twice made trouble in the heavenly palace. "

Li Ping said: "I think that Sun Wukong can't die, in the end, the Dragon King, the Lord of Yama, and the Jade Emperor are helpless against Sun Wukong, because Sun Wukong can't die if he cuts off his head, he is not afraid of fire, and he can't fall down with thunder. "

Huang Mei said: "I think Sun Wukong will not die, because Sun Wukong is the embodiment of justice, so he will not die." Sun Wukong's master is Bodhi Ancestor, he has 72 changes and 72 lives, so he will not die. After 500 years, Guanyin Bodhisattva agreed to release Sun Wukong and asked him to protect Tang Seng to go to the west to learn scriptures. Sun Wukong is the mythical Monkey King, who lives with the sky and will never die. If you have to let Sun Wukong die, the world will fall, and Sun Wukong will die. "
