Chapter 396 Six-eared Macaque

The Tolong tribe has already agreed to help contact the Monkey King Sun Wukong in heaven.

The job is done.

Xiao Chen originally planned to return to Kanyuan Mountain immediately, but unexpectedly Wuzhiqi was so kind that he couldn’t refuse and repeatedly asked him to stay and insisted on treating him to a banquet.

Seeing Wuzhiqi was so enthusiastic, Xiao Chen had no choice but to agree.

……

A side hall in the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.

The lights are bright and the place is magnificent, and every detail reveals the luxury of the dragon clan.

The table was already filled with delicious delicacies, the variety was dazzling and dazzling.

Among the three realms, when it comes to seafood, the seafood in the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea is naturally the best in the world and there is no one better.

The crab is covered with crab roe, the color is golden and attractive, and the freshness of the sea crab is beyond words.

The conch stew is amber in color, clear yet warm. Just take a sip and the delicious flavor will instantly bloom on your tongue.

The abalone slices are as thin as cicada wings, fresh and tender, and paired with the special sauce, it is even more delicious and unforgettable.

There were also plates of kelp on the table, which were as green as jade and had a smooth texture. They were both refreshing and appetizing, adding a touch of freshness to the feast and perfectly balancing the richness of other dishes.

As for the drinks, they are unique and ingenious.

The “seaweed sake” extracted from thousand-year-old seaweed is clear and transparent, with a fresh taste and a unique flavor.

I have to say that Wuzhiqi is a pretty good “son-in-law of the Dragon Clan” and he knows how to enjoy his life.

“Brother Jinjiao, please…”

Wuzhiqi picked up the wine glass and gestured to Xiao Chen with a smile on his face.

“Brother Wuzhiqi, please…”

Xiao Chen was also not polite. He raised his wine glass and clinked it with his, then drank it all in one gulp with great heroism.

The three demons clinked cups and drank heartily.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the atmosphere became more and more lively.

The three demons, the Water Ape King, the Monkey King and the Golden Horned King, were chatting and laughing, sharing each other’s experiences in cultivation and adventures.

“The Battle of Zhuolu…”

“When Dayu controlled the floods…”

“Back then, Baxia carried the stele…”

The Great Water Ape Sage Wuzhiqi was knowledgeable and talkative, telling many things about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors era and ancient times.

Xiao Chen sat aside and listened to Wuzhiqi’s story.

He looked at the Monkey King and the Water Ape King in front of him, and the images of the Stone Monkey Sun Wukong and the Long-armed Ape Yuan Hong emerged in his mind.

Among the four mischievous monkeys, he had seen the Stone Monkey and the Long-armed Ape Monkey.

The only things he hadn’t seen were the red-butted horse monkey and the six-eared macaque.

There are two monkeys in Huaguo Mountain who call themselves “Red-butt Horse Monkeys”.

But after observation, Xiao Chen found that their blood was too thin and almost no different from that of ordinary monkeys. They could not be compared with the legendary red-buttocked horse monkeys at all.

Too bad.

The demon race, like the human race, has a good ancestor and has a higher status.

Those with distinguished ancestors often enjoy higher status and respect.

Just like when Liu Bei started his business, he always said to everyone:

“I am the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing of Han, and the uncle of the Emperor of Han…”

With such a status, others will look up to Liu Bei.

The same is true for the demon race.

The two “red-butt monkeys” in Huaguo Mountain are most likely trying to steal the tiger’s skin.

They may really have some distant blood relationship with the legendary “red-buttocked horse monkey”.

But it is hard to say how close the blood relationship is and how many generations are between them.

Of course, maybe not, they just have some physical features of red-butted macaques.

In short, it is difficult to trace and difficult to confirm.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen’s gaze involuntarily fell on the Water Ape Great Sage Wuzhiqi.

Wuzhiqi was born in the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. He is knowledgeable and can almost be said to be a living history book. He knows all the secrets of the ancient times.

So, Xiao Chen had an idea and decided to ask Wuzhiqi for information about the red-butted horse monkey and the six-eared macaque.

While pouring the wine, Xiao Chen asked tentatively:

“Brother Wuzhiqi, have you ever heard of the red-butted horse monkey and the six-eared macaque?”

“Red-butt monkey…”

“Six-eared macaque…”

Upon hearing this, Wuzhiqi paused for a moment, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he was a little surprised that Xiao Chen suddenly mentioned these two names.

Wuzhiqi turned around and looked at the Monkey King, and both demons showed a meaningful smile in their eyes.

This smile seems to hide some secret, making people want to find out.

Wuzhiqi chuckled and said slowly:

“Brother Jinjiao, you actually know about the Red-butted Horse Monkey and the Six-eared Macaque?”

“These two names are not known to just anyone.”

“It seems that you, little brother Jinjiao, know quite a lot about the Four Monkeys.”

Xiao Chen chuckled and shook his head, then began to “explain”:

“In fact, I also learned about the Red-butted Horse Monkey and the Six-eared Macaque by chance.”

“My wife is fortunate enough to be a disciple of Demon Master Kunpeng.”

“In the books of the Demon Master Palace in Northern Juluzhou, I once heard about the four monkeys who caused chaos in the world.”

“I see……”

Wuzhiqi suddenly understood what was going on and said with a smile:

“Monster Master Kunpeng is the master of all monsters. His profound knowledge is rare in the world.”

“The books in the Demon Master Palace contain countless mysteries of the world, and are what all the demons yearn for.”

Wuzhiqi took a sip of the wine and continued:

“It’s not surprising that there are records of the Spiritual Stone Monkey, the Tongbi Ape Monkey, the Red-butted Horse Monkey, and the Six-eared Macaque in the Demon Master’s Palace.”

After saying that, Wuzhiqi turned and looked at Xiao Chen, his eyes full of gratitude.

Wuzhiqi smiled and said:
“Little brother Jinjiao, you once saved me from the clutches of the Heavenly Court and took on such a life-threatening situation.”

“We have experienced life and death together, so we can be considered friends for life and death.”

“Besides, you and my brother the Monkey King are sworn brothers, so you are definitely not an outsider.”

“I don’t have to hide these things from you.”

At this point, Wuzhiqi’s expression suddenly became serious. He put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at Xiao Chen with deep eyes, and said slowly:

“In fact, I am the red-butted horse monkey among the four monkeys who caused chaos in the world.”

In the side hall of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.

The atmosphere became extremely tense because of Wuzhiqi’s words, as if even the air had frozen.

When these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Xiao Chen looked at Wuzhiqi in disbelief.

He never expected that the Water Ape Sage in front of him was actually the “Red-butt Horse Monkey”, one of the Four Mischievous Monkeys!
but.

Xiao Chen thought about it carefully. Although this matter was unexpected, it was also reasonable.

The ability of the red-butted horse monkey is to “know yin and yang, understand human affairs, and be good at coming and going”, so as to avoid death and prolong life.

Understand “Yin and Yang”. Yin and Yang refer to men and women. It means to have insight into the affairs of men and women and to harmonize Yin and Yang.

Knowing “human affairs” means understanding the ways of the world and being well-informed about the world.

Of course, it may also include the deeper meaning of “knowing human affairs”, that is, knowing the love affairs between men and women and being able to make many little dolls.

Wuzhiqi married and had many sons, and his family was harmonious and full of descendants…

Isn’t this the embodiment of “understanding yin and yang and understanding human affairs”?
As for being “good at entering and exiting”, Wuzhiqi is good at water escape and can go anywhere there is water without any hindrance.

This coincides with the red-butted horse monkey’s magical power of being “good at going in and out”.

Wuzhiqi saw Xiao Chen’s reaction of surprise and curiosity, and chuckled, as if he had anticipated Xiao Chen’s reaction.

Wuzhiqi took a sip of wine and continued:
“As for the six-eared macaque…”

Having said this, he deliberately prolonged his voice, causing Xiao Chen and the Monkey King to hold their breath.

The Monkey King’s expression instantly turned serious when he heard this. He waved his hand and set up several soundproof barriers, obviously worried that such a secret would be eavesdropped by the outside world. Seeing this, Wuzhiqi waved his hand and smiled:
“It doesn’t matter. This side hall is where the Dragon Clan’s secret room is located.”

“Jun’er has already shielded this place with the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, so the outside world cannot spy on it.”

The Monkey King still looked serious. Although Wuzhiqi had said that this place was safe, he still confirmed the soundproof barrier he had set up again to ensure that it was foolproof.

The Monkey King laughed and said:
“Brother, you’d better be cautious. After all, this matter is of great importance and cannot be overlooked.”

Wuzhiqi nodded, expressing his appreciation for the Monkey King’s caution, and then slowly said:

“The story of the six-eared macaque is a long one…”

“In fact, we, the Four Monkeys – the Spiritual Stone Monkey, the Red-butted Horse Monkey, the Long-armed Ape Monkey and the Six-eared Macaque – did not appear out of thin air.”

“Instead, it has existed since the creation of the world.”

“The four monkeys of chaos are all inextricably linked to the Chaos Demon God.”

“To some extent, our existence is a continuation of the Chaos Demon God in the primitive world, or a differentiation of their power.”

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said in surprise:
“Brother Wuzhiqi, are these four monkeys related to the Chaos Demon God?”

In fact, he had not expected that these four seemingly independent monkeys would actually be related to the ancient Chaos Demon.

Wuzhiqi smiled and nodded, with a mysterious tone in his voice:
“Yes, this matter is extremely secretive and few people know about it.”

“If Jun’er hadn’t found some clues in Zulong’s memory and combined them with my own characteristics to make inferences, I wouldn’t have known the secret.”

“The origin of this is truly amazing…”

Having said this, Wuzhiqi’s eyes became deep, as if he was lost in distant memories.

Xiao Chen listened attentively, his curiosity growing stronger, and he whispered:
“Appreciate further details.”

Wuzhiqi spoke slowly, his voice was low and distant, as if he had traveled through time and space and brought back to the ancient times when the universe was still undeveloped:
“That’s it…”

“In the time before the beginning of the universe, there were three thousand Chaos Demon Gods bred in the chaos. They each mastered a law of the great way and were extremely powerful, beyond imagination.”

“Among them, there is a Chaos Demon God named ‘Chaos Demon Ape’, also known as the Fighting Demon God, the War Demon God, who controls the great way of ‘war’.”

“This Chaos Demon Ape has a violent and warlike personality, an unparalleled physical strength, and an astonishing fighting power.”

“The Chaos Demon Ape seems to be born to fight until death!”

“In terms of combat power alone, the Chaos Demon Ape is also among the top among the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods.”

“It can even compete with the great god Pangu.”

When Wuzhiqi said this, there was a hint of inexplicable meaning in his tone, which contained both regret for the powerful strength of the Chaos Ape and gratitude for the final victory of the great god Pangu.

“In the chaos, the warlike Chaos Demon Ape is unwilling to be lonely.”

“He longed for a fight and a challenge, so he took the initiative to challenge the great god Pangu!”

“The Chaos Demon Ape is eager to defeat Pangu and become the strongest in the chaos!”

Wuzhiqi’s tone was full of description of the Chaos Demon Ape’s endless fighting spirit.

However, Wuzhiqi’s tone suddenly changed, revealing a hint of tragedy:
“However, the outcome of the battle was not what Chaos Ape wanted.”

“The Chaos Demon Ape was eventually killed by the Great God Pangu. His Chaos Demon God form was shattered by the Axe of Creation, and he fell from the sky.”

“The Chaos Demon Ape disappeared into the chaos.”

Having said that, Wuzhiqi couldn’t help but sigh, as if he was feeling sorry for the death of the Chaos Demon Ape.

Wuzhiqi continued:
“But the Chaos Ape is too strong.”

“Even though the great god Pangu personally shattered his true form of god and devil, the origin of the Chaos Demon Ape still exists in him, stubbornly surviving in the world.”

“The Chaos Demon Ape is a powerful being at the level of creating and destroying the world.”

“His fall does not mean that his power disappears.”

This was the first time Xiao Chen heard about the “Chaos Demon Ape” and he was somewhat shocked.

He knew very well that what he was hearing at this moment was an ancient secret that far exceeded the common sense of the world of Journey to the West.

After all, the original version of Journey to the West only records the events after “Pangu created the world, the Three Sovereigns ruled the world, and the Five Emperors established the laws.”

The story of Journey to the West also takes place in the era after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Journey to the West actually has no record of what happened before Pangu created the world and when chaos was still in existence.

“Little brother Jinjiao, do you know the origins of the four symbols of this primitive world? Earth, fire, wind, and water.”

Wuzhiqi asked with a smile, his eyes revealing a hint of testing, as if he wanted to see how deep Xiao Chen’s understanding of the prehistoric world was.

“Earth, fire, wind, water…”

Xiao Chen nodded and said:

“I have heard that this earth, fire, wind and water…”

Xiao Chen briefly shared his views.

At the time of creation, from chaos to order, the four elements of earth, fire, wind and water were needed as the cornerstones.

The earth is solid, carrying all things, and is a tangible and material thing; water is liquid, nourishing all living things, and is a tangible and intangible thing.

Fire is energy that illuminates the darkness and is a tangible but intangible thing; wind is a gas that blows across the earth and is an invisible and intangible thing.

These four categories include all things in the world.

This world is based on “fire” as the energy center, driving the growth of all things; “earth” is the land, providing habitat for living things; “water” is the ocean, nurturing life; plus the ubiquitous air “wind”, together they make up this complex world.

There is no contradiction between the four symbols of earth, fire, wind and water and the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

The five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are the laws that maintain the operation of all things and the circulation of energy.

Earth fire is used to refine weapons, and feng shui is used to determine the meridians.

The four elements of earth, fire, wind and water are the foundation and spatial order of the world.

The four symbols of earth, fire, wind and water represent the origin of creation and are the original force before the birth of all things.

The five elements are the natural operating laws that emerged after the development of all things.

If you want to create a new world, you must “re-establish earth, fire, wind and water” to lay the foundation and order of the new world.

“Master Tongtian…”

When Xiao Chen talked about this, he couldn’t help but think of Tongtian, the Master in the Battle of the Gods.

The Patriarch Tongtian suffered a huge blow in the Battle of Conferred Gods. The disciples of Jiejiao suffered heavy casualties, and he himself was besieged by the Four Saints and was defeated miserably by Zhuxian Formation and Wanxian Formation.

In extreme anger, Tongtian Jiaozhu came up with the idea of ​​”re-establishing earth, water, fire and wind, and changing the world.”

At this time.

Wuzhiqi continued to narrate the secrets of the ancient times. His voice seemed to travel through time and space, bringing Xiao Chen into the primitive world when chaos had just begun and heaven and earth had not yet been separated:

“At that time, the great god Pangu killed three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, created the world with his supreme divine power, established the four elements of earth, fire, wind and water in the ancient world, and laid the foundation for heaven and earth.”

“As the Chaos Demon God of War before the Creation of the World, the Chaos Demon Ape is too powerful.”

“So strong that even though his true form was shattered by the great god Pangu, his essence still exists in the world and has never completely disappeared.”

“That fighting spirit and indomitable spirit has always been there.”

“Finally, the Chaos Demon Ape’s essence split into four parts, each of which contained astonishing power and the Chaos Demon Ape’s fighting spirit and indomitable spirit.”

“They merged into the four origins of the creation of the world, ‘Earth, Fire, Wind and Water’, and merged with the four symbols, transforming into four monkeys, becoming creatures in the primitive world.”

“The Earth Demon Ape was conceived and born from the ‘Earth Demon’ of the Primordial World. Its body is made of stone, but it has developed intelligence, and is the spiritual ‘Stone Monkey’.”

“The Fire Elephant Demon Ape was born from the Fire Elephant of the Primordial World. It has infinite strength, is good at fighting with its arms wide open, and is the Tongbi Ape.”

“The Wind Demon Ape was bred by the wind in the prehistoric world. It has sharp ears and eyes, and is good at observing the heaven and earth. It is the Six-eared Macaque.”

“The Water Demon Ape was bred by the water in the prehistoric world. It knows yin and yang, controls all water, and is good at going in and out. It is the Red Buttocks Horse Monkey.”

“The four elephants of the ancient world, the four monkeys who caused chaos in the world…”

Xiao Chen was quite shocked when he heard this, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it all seemed reasonable.

Xiao Chen took the “Earth-Elephant Demon Ape – Lingming Stone Monkey” as an example and pondered in his heart.

The stone that gave birth to Sun Wukong had indeed already existed when Pangu created the world, which coincides with the period of the “Chaos Demon Ape”.

Moreover, Huaguo Mountain is “the ancestor of the ten continents and the origin of the three islands.” It was established when the clear and the turbid were separated and was formed after the separation of the universe.

Huaguo Mountain is the ancestral vein.

The geomagnetic veins of Huaguo Mountain can be regarded as the “best geomagnetic phenomenon” in the ancient world.

Metal ores are buried in the land and are wrapped by the land.

Gold comes from the earth, this is the law of the ancient world.

The clever stone monkey Sun Wukong is nicknamed “Golden Lord, Golden Monkey, Golden Ape”. Doesn’t the “gold” in the five elements correspond to “gold is produced in the earth”?
This is exactly:
The ancient “earth image” gave birth to “Golden Lord”.

Furthermore, Sun Wukong’s fighting style and his bellicosity are exactly the same as those of the Chaos Ape.

Chaos Ape, as the “Chaos Demon of War”, has a violent and warlike personality and astonishing combat power.

The clever stone monkey Sun Wukong also possesses an indomitable will to fight and dares to challenge all powerful enemies. This is a reflection of the character of the Chaos Demon Ape that he inherited.

From this point of view, the Spiritual Stone Monkey, one of the Four Monkeys that caused chaos in the world, is just the final result of the four symbols of the ancient world.

Rather than origin.
