Chapter 9: The Beginning of the Wise Monkey
Sun Wukong conquered the owner of the 72 cave, so he rang the gong and set up a variety of delicious foods in the water curtain cave. The cup was filled with coconut liquid and slurry, and a wedding banquet was held, which celebrated for several days.
The tiger, leopard, wolf, insects, and the demon kings of the seventy-two caves came to kowtow and worship with monsters all over the mountain, tribute to gold, silver, jewelry, weapons and armor. Every day, the water curtain caves were bustling, and it was very lively.
On this day, the Bull Demon King came to worship with a gift.
"King, we tied up some human flesh in Aolai Country to celebrate you!"
As soon as the demon king opened his mouth, Sun Wukong lost all his appetite.
He looked up and saw a group of little demons escorting dozens of blood-faced humans into the cave.
Sun Wukong waved his hand: "Let them go!"
"King." The Bull Demon King was a little surprised. He had never heard of letting humans go: "Do you don't like human flesh?"
"Stop talking nonsense, I'll just let it go."
Sun Wukong said coldly: "From now on, the monsters in Huaguo Mountain are not allowed to eat people, and I will find that one of them will be killed!"
The monsters were shocked.
However, the Monkey King had an order, and the 72 cave demon king dared not refuse to obey - the order prohibiting eating people was immediately passed on to the little demon.
The little demons were in an uproar, but Sun Wukong did not explain.
How should he explain? Should he spread future wisdom to them and tell them that all beings are equal?
This is impossible. The ancestor once said, "It is difficult, difficult, difficult! I don't meet the wonderful tips of the most powerful people, and I'm just talking and stuttering my tongue!"
The artistic conception here can also be used as future wisdom. The spread of ideas requires social foundation. Different times, and the monsters in Huaguoshan cannot understand the philosophy of later generations.
72 The master of the cave surrendered, and he took the little demons to dance swords and guns every day, practice martial arts, and show his strength in front of Sun Wukong.
After watching it for a few days, Sun Wukong was drowsy.
"Don't play any more." He stopped them: "It's useless."
He understood that no matter how many monsters there were, they were just ordinary soldiers, and they were not as good as true immortals, and they would probably be useless for him to make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace in the future.
The immortals in the Heavenly Palace have been practicing for many years, and there are so many people that it is impossible to win by relying on the number of people.
"You guys are not as good as me."
Sun Wukong said to the 72 Cave Lord that he could sweep away hundreds of thousands of small demons in Huaguo Mountain overnight. The so-called "many people" is powerful, and it does not exist in this world.
If you want to defeat Tathagata, you have to rely on his personal strength and cannot rely on others.
"You put away the sword and gun, and practice once a week is enough."
Sun Wukong said.
These monsters are his subordinates. He does not intend to let them fight against the Heavenly Palace, but they are more than enough for the mortal army, so there is no need to practice every day.
"But the king..."
The 72 Hole Master couldn't help asking: "If we don't practice martial arts, what should we do?"
The life of monsters is extremely boring. Apart from practicing martial arts and killing people and eating meat, they really don’t know what to do.
Sun Wukong shook his head: "I once heard that some of you demon kings often turn into human forms and go to Aolai Country. Why is that?"
"King, you don't know anything." The Sheep Demon King replied immediately: "Those humans are good at creating things and the markets are prosperous. We often have to get something that we don't have."
Sun Wukong glanced at him: "Are we worse than them?"
The Sheep Demon King shook his head quickly.
Sun Wukong then smiled: "Then why can't we create those things?"
The demon kings suddenly realized and vaguely understood what the king wanted to do.
"The king wants to make Huaguo Mountain the same as the world?"
"But lord, we know nothing about human skills."
The reactions of the demon kings were exactly the same as what Sun Wukong expected.
“This is simple.”
He replied: "We can get along with Na Aolai Country, find some talents in their place, invite them to teach technology and develop productivity."
"productive forces?"
72 The owner of the cave was full of confusion.
Although they don’t know what productivity is, they are a little surprised by Sun Wukong’s plan.
"King, if you want talents, just tie them up. Why do you need to be friendly with humans?"
"That's it!"
The demon kings felt that Sun Wukong took too much care of humans.
Sun Wukong shook his head, there was no need, he would not be a villain - Besides, kidnapping is no easier than letting humans send talents.
"I am a demon immortal, and I'm afraid they can't ask for it."
Sun Wukong said.
As long as you have a little sincerity, how could the king of Aolai reject his kindness? He might not necessarily send talents here with ecstatic pleasure.
72 The Hole Lord heard this and thought to himself.
"The king is wise!"
The Monkey King looked strange, but after all, unlike them, the reckless man, he had already planned and thoughtful.
So the demon kings returned to the cave and were ordered to select the smart little demon.
As soon as the demon king left, the stone lion placed in the Water Curtain Cave could not help it.
"Master, is this the big thing you said in Samsung Cave?"
The stone lion asked.
Sun Wukong smiled at it: "This is a small matter."
What he has to do is to change the world, but before doing big things, he must first experiment - this is the role played by Huaguoshan.
There is a saying in the Book of Heaven, "Material determines consciousness, and productivity determines production relations."
Sun Wukong has been thinking for twenty years and found that the root of all problems in this world is that his productivity is too low - there are obviously immortal arts and Taoisms, so why should it be used for fighting rather than increasing productivity?
He wanted to try it out to see what it could turn Huaguo Mountain into.
If the experiment on Huaguoshan can be successful, his work will be much simpler in the future.
The next day, Sun Wukong visited the king of Aolai Kingdom with five-colored auspicious clouds.
Seeing that the king was old and weak, he chanted a spell and blew some fairy energy to the king.
The king was a little afraid at first, but the fairy energy entered his body, and all the stubborn diseases disappeared, and he was full of energy, as if he was ten years younger.
The old king was ecstatic. After hearing what Sun Wukong wanted, he quickly agreed.
He immediately held a court meeting and announced his eternal friendship with Huaguoshan.
Sun Wukong also promised to control the monsters. As long as Aolai Country does not send troops to offend Huaguo Mountain, Huaguo Mountain will definitely not offend Aolai Country.
After making friendship, the country and the whole country were happy. The king selected outstanding talents from all walks of life and asked Sun Wukong to bring them back to Huaguo Mountain.
A year later, Sun Wukong sent the person back to Aolai Country.
Not only are these talents intact, many of them even get the Monkey King's fairy spirit, and they look a few years younger on the outside.
Since then, the people of Aolai have no doubts. Some wise hermits even took the initiative to go to Huaguo Mountain to teach their skills in order to give some rewards to the Monkey King.
