Six-Eared Macaque: A Side Story

"Picking up where we left off, the Stone Monkey and Six-Eared Macaque were locked in a fierce battle. Their two Ruyi Jingu Bangs shook the Four Seas into chaos, while Tang Sanzang could do nothing but watch. One monkey said, 'If you've got the guts, go find Guanyin and prove that you're the fake!' The other refused to back down: 'Fine by me! Then we'll see your true form exposed!' In an instant, they leaped through the clouds and fought all the way to the South Sea... The Tathagata tossed his golden bowl into the air, and it landed squarely on the Six-Eared Macaque. Sun Wukong took a closer look and saw a monkey with six ears, very much like himself. 'It has not cultivated successfully. I hope you can spare its life,' the Tathagata had barely finished speaking when the Stone Monkey swung his staff. The Six-Eared Macaque turned into a lump of mush. And that is the story of the real and fake Monkey King."
