Now there are many and many interpretations of the Story of the Monkey, from different cultures to different feature films. I'm going to explain in my own words and memories of the origins of the Monkey King. In which I've heard since I was a child 😏 This is just to prove how much I know on this characters personality I'm taking on. I doubt anyone can read this, it's not a full detailed story, more of me explaining it to someone who wants to know 😏👍🏻👍🏿 [spoiler]During the...... Song dynasty era where everybody floats and Buddha and stuff The earth moved!!! Lightning has smashed into... a statue Not just any statue A statue shaped, as a monkey It had come to life as part of the mystical era of where babies really come from The monkey woke up and ran across the island Running around, jumping around like a monkey. Anyways, he met up with the other stone monkeys They saw a treasure in the waterfall, and whoever could get the treasure would be named King. So, he volunteered because he was the bravest Got treasure and became King Think of it for them as Cavemen who could talk Then strangers entered the island and stuff, some bandits, they fought and stuff and they made up and got drunk One ape suddenly died The monkey was angry to why he and his friends aren't immortal The bandits told them a way to become immortal So..... the monkey and his followers made this hilarious leaf clothing! Built a raft to search for someone who can make him immortal ! For days!! He journeyed through the seas(edited) When he reached land There were people, kinda like the village era People started screaming and running away when they saw him, thinking he was a demon. He wore a dress, he found Walked into the village People screaming and also curious Anyways, it was hilarious Then he met a stranger who wasn't afraid of him, and ask a place he can learn to be immortal The stranger advised him to go to a monestary where a Master can teach him to be immmortal When he arrived, he knocked on the giant door. Not once Not twice But 13 times!! Cause he was impatient Already made a bad first impression Someone finally opened the doors And let the monkey in Orders of the master of course The Monkey walked through the halls and up the steps past the Master's students(edited) Arrogantly, demanded that the master teach him The students were shocked The master refused So, The monkey tried to attack the master out of anger The master used his force powers and pushed him down the steps Magically a caged appeared The monkey was upset and begged for the master to teach him The master gave pity to the ignorant monkey and accepted him as a student But before he can accept him as a student He needed a name Sun Wukong The master gave the monkey a name So, on initiation day.. He pissed off the master for being.. a monkey The master left and went back to his quarters to rest Sun, came to his quarters at night and begged, refused to move until the master forgave him The master, once again pitied the monkey. Asked him what he really wanted to learn. He asked to be immortal, the master said "You must be born immortal" However, he could teach him the 72 technique thing... I forgot what it's called It's where he could disguised himself Create illusions Fly into the air So for... 7-15 years Sun was taught the technique, making trouble and learning Until one day, he showed it off to the other students in which the master didn't want him to show off because he felt that the monkey was speacial So he exiled from being his student And told him to "never make anymore Trouble" Sun was upset, left and flew back home Got more drunk. Now here's what made him famous. So he was strong now and a King However, wasn't immortal And realised he can fly now So he flew up into the heaven Looking for the gods He reached the heavens border patrol, was greeted as a hostile however proclaimed he was a King! So he went to heaven, met with the gods and asked to become a god The god guy in charge, humoured him Gave him a job, so he can be a god UP in the heavens As The stable boy Sun, didn't exactly know his job So he went there, proclaimed he was the god of the stables Only to realise, HES A STABLE BOY He was upset, snuck into the heavens garden Cause he was hungry. The gods were preparing a feast He ate it Put some in a sack for his kin Then noticed, when he was lurking around a speacial fruit He wanted to know where it came from He went to the secret Secret Secret gardens Talked to the keeper of the secret secret secret garden Where he told Sun, these fruit have been watered and planted for over 1000 years If he ate one, he would live longer Sun, decided to "inspect" claiming he was on speacial duty He emptied the bag where he stole the gods feast Collected the speacial fruit Ate a bunch of them One bite, threw it away Go another one One bite Threw it away The keeper came back to check up on him And realised the fruits have been eaten and he disappeared The gods were furious Found him and banished him from heaven!!! The Monkey was upset, he wanted to be a god however was rejected Gave his kin the fruits to make them immortal And proclaimed he was!! The Great Sage Greater than Heaven!! Literally a title he made up... However needed a weapon He dived into the ocean, met the sea king there Wanting a weapon and armour The Sea King wanted to get rid of him So, tricked into a weapon so powerful.... The monkey wanted to see this powerful weapon!!! The sea king showed him the giant stick, and said that if he could carry it he could have it. Sun, jumped on the opportunity for a great weapon It was soooo big, he wished it was smaller. The giant stick... got smaller And smaller And smaller And smaller And what it's known today, as the monkey stick... longer than your typical bo staff The sea King pleaded him not to take the weapon!!! Sun, ignored and left Got his kin together and started a war on heaven!!! Heaven answered and went down to face the Monkey King!! Sun, made a diversion and sneak up to heaven while there was a war happening on earth To face the gods!!! He was outnumbered!! So He ran away Into the black smiths room He hid in a furnace They found him and tried to burn him He was immortal and could not be burned Tipped over the furnace And somewhere on earth, created a desert He laughed and ran off The gods could not stop him this time So, Some god guy who looks like Buddha arrived To talk to Sun Something about a deal that if he could reach the end all five pillars of heaven he would make him a god Anyways.... When Sun turned around, Buddha shrank him Sun thought he flew over to the ends of heaven When actually it was The Buddhas hand So, he assumed he was at the five pillars of heaven He took a piss on one of the pillars Also wrote his name to prove he was there on one of the pillars Sun came back, and the Buddha was laughing And told him he was tricked And that he did not reach the end of heaven The monkey tried to attack the buddhas great big ears Buddha immediately grabbed him Threw him down to earth Put a mountain over him And a speacial seal so that he can't escaped He was sentenced to a sort of prison Trapped under a mountain for messing with heaven For 50 years That's the end Of that chapter Who actually read this 😏 [/spoiler]
