Unify all heavens

It is said that after the Golden-winged Dapeng left with the Ancient Buddha of Burning Deng, he asked for some magic weapons to protect himself from the Tathagata Buddha of the West, and went to the chaotic place outside the sky.

Since then, it has not appeared once again in the past three to five hundred years.

After Li Qing let go of the Golden-winged Dapeng, he drove the Bull Demon King, the Peng Demon King, the Dragon Demon King, and the Black Bear Demon out of the Corpse Mountain Ghost Ridge, and studied magical powers alone in the cave.

Sometimes he goes out to visit the demon kings in the four major provinces, and sometimes he secretly goes to heaven to chat with the gods and demons who belong to the Shenjie sect.

Three hundred years ago, the three demon kings Hu Li, Yang Li, and Lu Li expired and bid farewell to Li Qing.

After the three of them left, Li Qing let go of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord who had been soaking in the wine bottle for three hundred years.

Even if this Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord is highly cultivated, he is still drunk and confused after drinking for three hundred years.

When Li Qing saw him off, he saw the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord climbing unsteadily on the clouds and flying straight towards the Nantian Gate.

Let’s not mention for the moment the drunken drunkenness of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord and his collision with the Nantian Gate. Let’s talk about the situation on the Dongsheng Divine Continent tens of thousands of miles away from here, on the Huaguo Mountain known as the Three Islands of Dragons. The Monkey King led a group of Apes, macaques, horse monkeys, etc., assigned monarchs, ministers and envoys, visited the Flower and Fruit Mountain in the morning and stayed in the Water Curtain Cave in the evening. They sympathized with each other and did not enter the bush of birds or follow the beasts. They were kings alone and were very happy.

There is poetry to prove it:

In the spring, you pick flowers for your food, and in the summer, you look for fruits for your livelihood.

Harvesting taro and chestnuts in autumn delays the harvest season, while hunting for yellow flowers in winter ensures their bloom.

As the saying goes, "There is no armor in the mountains, and there is no sun or moon in the cave." Four hundred years passed in an instant amidst the laughter of the Monkey King.

On this day, in the Water Curtain Cave, during the wedding banquet between the Monkey King and the monkeys, a low sobbing sound was suddenly heard from one of the monkeys.

He jumped down from the throne, jumped a few times, then used his arms to push away the monkeys, and arrived at the place where the sound came from.

At this moment, I saw a little monkey squatting in front of an old ape with white hair, wiping tears with its furry palms.

The Monkey King's expression changed slightly when he saw this, knowing that the old ape had reached the end of his life and had been seduced by the King of Hell.

Looking at the motionless old ape, he suddenly became worried, and tears fell in the blink of an eye.

The monkeys who were laughing and playing around saw the Monkey King's eyes wet with tears, and they all knelt down in panic. An older ape asked at this moment: "Why is the king crying?"

The Monkey King immediately sighed: "As I watched this ape pass away, I suddenly became a little worried!"

The old ape scratched his head and smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are so dissatisfied! We are waiting for you every day, living in the blessed land of the fairy mountain, stepping on the ancient caves of China, not governed by unicorns, not ruled by phoenixes, and not bound by the throne of the human world. Being free and at ease is an immeasurable blessing, so why worry about the future?"

When the Monkey King heard this, his face became even more worried, and he sighed: "Although today I am not subject to the laws of the human king, I am not afraid of the majesty of the beasts. In the future, when I am old and my blood is weak, I will secretly take care of it. Once I die, I will not live in this world in vain." Can't he stay in the heavens for a long time? His body is like this old ape, stiff and cold, and turned into a pile of white bones!"

After hearing what he said, the monkeys laughing and playing around them all fell silent.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a monkey sobbed softly.

When the cry came from elsewhere, the monkeys all covered their faces and began to cry in sorrow.

Seeing this, the Monkey King sighed even louder, not knowing how to avoid having his soul seduced by the King of Hell.

At this moment, one of the monkeys in the group suddenly had a smile in his eyes.

Then I saw him jumping out from the monkey group and shouting loudly: "If your Majesty is so far-sighted, what is the so-called development of the Tao mind! Now among the five insects, there are only three levels of name and form, and they are not under the control of Yama."

The Monkey King immediately turned around and asked with a look of surprise on his face: "Do you know which third class of people they are?"

When he finished speaking, the ape laughed loudly and said: "They are the Buddha, the Immortal and the Holy Three. These three can escape reincarnation, are immortal, live as long as the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, and have the same age as the sun, moon and stars." !”

If Li Qing were here, he would find that the ape had died long ago, and the person occupying his body was Jialan, the protector of the Western Paradise Holy Land.

But at the moment, he is still cultivating his magical powers in the cave in the Ghost Ridge of Corpse Mountain, and the Monkey King, who has never left Huaguo Mountain since his birth, although he has books in his belly, is ignorant of human affairs, does not understand danger, and cannot distinguish between loyalty and treachery. .

Therefore, after hearing that there were three people who could escape the suffering of reincarnation, his face was covered with joy and he said anxiously: "Do you know where these three people live?"

The thong-armed ape immediately laughed and said: "His third level is only in the world of Jambu, in the ancient cave and the fairy mountain."

After hearing this, the Monkey King's heart was filled with joy and he laughed and said: "In that case, I will bid farewell to you tomorrow and go down the mountain. From then on, I will travel to the corners of the world and to the ends of the earth. I will definitely visit these three people and learn a method of immortality." , so as to avoid the trouble of Lord Yan.

All the monkeys clapped and praised, and the monkey led the way and said: "How good! How good! Tomorrow we will cross the mountains and climb mountains, search for some fruits and mountain treasures, and hold a big banquet for the king."

After saying this, the happy Monkey King continued to play with the monkeys.

That night, everyone stayed up and played around.

Early the next morning, before the sun shone on the earth, the monkeys went to pick fairy peaches, pluck exotic fruits, and dig out yam polygonatum. But all I saw were orchids, fragrant flowers, yaicaos and exotic flowers, all neatly arranged, stone stools and tables were set out, and fairy wine and delicacies were arranged.

Then a group of monkeys sat on top of the Monkey King, arranged below each other, and one by one they took turns to come forward, offer wine, flowers, and fruits, and drank with the Monkey King for another day and night.

Early the next morning, the Monkey King woke up the monkeys and said, "Young men, fold some dead pine trees for me to make a raft, take a bamboo pole to make a pole, and pack some fruits and the like. I will go there soon."

When the monkeys heard this, they became confused.

It didn't take long before the raft was compiled and thrown into the vast sea.

The Monkey King stood on the cliff facing the mountain wind and said goodbye to the monkeys who were bidding him farewell: "Young boys, I'm leaving now. You must guard the fairy mansion and don't teach the wild monsters of the mountain spirit." They took it away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped down the cliff and landed on the raft. After raising his arms and saying goodbye to the monkeys on the cliff, he drifted towards the waves of the sea, taking advantage of the wind to sail towards an unknown place.

Another poem says:

The natural monkey has a prosperous way, and he leaves the mountain and rides a raft to take advantage of the wind.

Traveling across the ocean in search of the path to immortality, I am determined to devote myself to making great achievements.

If you have the destiny to break away from the secular world, you will meet Yuanlong without any worries.

It is expected that you will meet a confidant who will tell you that everything can be done through the source.

As soon as he left, the thong-armed ape on the cliff suddenly fell backwards. By the time the monkeys were panicked, his soul had already escaped to the Western Paradise.

At the same time, all the saints lying high in the nine heavens also began to focus on the Monkey King on the vast ocean.
