THE MONKEY KING (Entertainment, 11 articles)
|
STORY SO FAR: Jade Emperor, learning of Monkey's great mischief, sends Vaisravana, his best general, and thousand of soldiers to Earth, with orders to arrest Monkey. LED by Vaisravane, one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers arrived at the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits and surrounded Monkey's Cave of the Water Curtain. Ten thousand monkeys were fanned out in front of his palace under a red and gold flag upon which was written: MAGNIFICENT MONKEY KING, GREATEST OF ALL. Stone Monkey, having led the monkey clan through the waterfall to the Cave of The Water Curtain, becomes Magnificent Monkey King and ponders what to do next. Sitting on his jeweled throne, surrounded by his beloved monkeys, Monkey should have had the happiest day of his life. STORY SO FAR: When the Magician Lang fails to defeat Monkey, the Goddess Guan-yin flings down a magic vase which falls atop Monkey and traps him. A long path lined with rubies wound through and around the peach trees, leading to eight red pagodas carved with golden dragons. Monkey quickly realized that if he did not act quickly, the fairies were going to report his thefts of the peaches to the Jade Emperor.
