There is a flower and fruit mountain in the Aolai Kingdom of Dongsheng Shenzhou. There is a huge stone on the mountain that absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, the aura of heaven and earth, and gives birth to a stone monkey. The stone monkey wins the support of all the monkeys with his courage and becomes the monkey king, calling himself the "Monkey King".
The Monkey King went out to seek immortality and practice Taoism. He was taught by Patriarch Bodhi in Sanxing Cave and learned the seventy-two transformations and somersault clouds. Got the name "Sun Wukong"
The Monkey King returned to his hometown, got the "Ruyi Golden Cudgel" in the Dragon Palace, and went to the underworld to cancel the death certificates of all the monkeys.
Dissatisfied with the title of "Bi Ma Wen" conferred by the Jade Emperor, he calls himself "Monkey King, the Monkey King"
The Monkey King made trouble in the Heavenly Palace and was suppressed by the Buddha on the Wuzhishan Mountain for five hundred years. Tang Monk passed by the Wuzhishan Mountain to obtain Buddhist scriptures and freed him.
From then on, the Monkey King started a long journey to the West to learn scriptures.
