The 5th monkey is a teammate of volunteers from. Around the world, we do not receive any outside funding. Please consider becoming a pay. Subscriber to keep the series. Thank you. Journey to the West, An audio drama series. Chapter 7, Part 2 Rule I then asked the venerable. Anunder and Ke$ha to accompany him after departing from Thunder.

Club Temple, they came straight. To the gate of the Hall of. Miraculous mist. Suddenly, they heard. Deafening shouts. From where the 30. 6th Thunder generals had the great sage surrounded Buddha, then delivered an order. Saying Tell the Thunder Generals to cease. Fighting and open up the. And tell the great sage. To come out.

Let me ask him what? Power. He possesses the generals, indeed. The great sage also withdrew his. Transformations and returned to his original. Form high on anger, he approached Buddha and shouted. From the top of his voice. What monk are you? How? Dare you stop? The battle to question me. Rulai chuckled.

I am the venerable Sakimuni. Of the Western realm of ultimate. Bliss no more, Amita. I have just learned of your. Boorish behaviours and. Repeated offences against the Heavenly Palace. I. Do wonder. Where did you grow up? When did you find the way? Why are you this violent and unruly? The great sage answered. I was born from.

Heaven and earth. But divinely inspired immortal in the mountain of. Flower and fruit. An ape. You could. Call old water. Cut and cave is my residence and property. I sought friends and teachers with great mysteries to unfold. Endless ways. For me to obtain eternal. Life boundless transformations now in my hold. The mortal.

World was a. Land too narrow, I made. Up my mind. That the jade heaven shall. Be home, Treasure Hall of. Miraculous mist is no place to reign forever. Human. Rulers for generations. Have now when to let go. The. Strongest shall be honored. This might turn for this alone. I will win as a hero, Buddha heard. His words.

And let out several scornful. Laughter saying you, brute, are merely. A monkey turned spirit. How dare. You have the audacity to claim the dragon seat. Of the High Ruler. The Jade Emperor he. Hasn't been in cultivation since a young. Age and survived 1700 and. Bit a gulp. Each. Gulp is an Aon of 1. In 600.

Make the calculation how many years. Did he go through before he could enjoy? The boundless and great. Way you are. Nothing but a. Beast who is learning to be human. For the first time, How? Dare you? Make such a post sinful. How very sinful. Such behaviour will. Shorten your life, Convert to faith as.

Soon as possible and no more while speaking. Otherwise, I fear. You will suffer. A brutal defeat and your life will end in an instant. How very? Pitiful of your original form. That would be. The great sage answered. It's true that he has experienced long years of suffering and cultivation, but that doesn't mean he gets to remain here for ever, as the saying goes.

Emperors are. Made by taking. Turns next year. The turn shall be mine. Just tell him to move out hand over the heavenly palace to me. And we'll call it a day if you won't. I'll keep on wreaking havoc and. This place will never again see a. Day of. Peace, Buddha said. Apart from immortality. And some transformations. What other powers do you?

Possess that you. Dare occupy the. Blessed land of the heavenly palace. Great, Sage answered. I've got lots of tricks. I have the 72 transformations and eternal life against. All odds. I. Possess the somersault. Cloud which can travel 108. 1000 Lee in one leap, Why don't? I deserve the heavily thrown Buddha said. I shall make a bet with you.

If you are capable enough to escape my right palm. With a single. You win, no more weapons will be welded and. No more bitter fights. I shall invite the Jade Emperor. To live in the West and hand you the heavenly palace if you cannot. Escape my palm. You shall return to the. World below as a. And argue a gun with me after you've been through more kelp. The great sage heard this.

And secretly chuckled. This ruler is very dumb. Elderson can travel. 108,000 Lee with a single somersault that palm of his is no bigger than one. Square shoe. How hard could it be to escape? He then hurriedly. If you say so, do your words. Count, Buddha answered. They count they. Do count. He then held out his right hand.

It was about the size of a Lotus leaf. The Gray sage withdrew the compliant. Rod heightened his spirits and jumped straight into the centre of Buddha's palm, he then said. I'm leaving. With a leap, a mist. Cloud and light. He was nowhere to be seen. With his wise. Eyes. Buddha watched. As the monkey. King whirled, unstoppably forward. Like a windmill.

As the great sage travelled, he suddenly came up to. 5 Fleshy red. Pillars surrounded by a puff. Of greenish gas. He muttered. This must be the end of the road. If I. Turn back from. Here with rule eye. As witness the palace. Of miraculous mist. Must be mine after a second thought. Though, he said.

Hold on. Let me leave some sort of mark so it's easier for me to. Make my case to rule I. And so. He pulled. Out a hair. Blew a breath of divine air onto it and said change. It turned into a mixed. Verb brush. Dipped with thick ink in huge characters. He wrote the. Following sentence on the center.

Pillar XI Tian Dasung. Das EO Heaven. Equaling great sage. Has. Made it here once he was done writing. He withdrew the hair then. With a total lack of respect, he left. A pole of monkey. At the foot of the 1st. Pillar turning back the Somersaw. Cloud, he went straight back. To where he. Left standing in.

Sigh Rue Lai's palm, he said. I have left. And now I have returned. Tell. The Jade Emperor to hand over the heavenly. Palace to me rule, I scolded, you hissing monkey. Spirit, be damped you. Have never actually left my palm, the great sage said. You have no. Idea I went. All the way to the end of the world, where I saw five. Fleshy red pillars surrounded by greenish gas. I have left a mark there.

Right, there you go. Check it with me together. Rule, I said. No need. Just lower your head. The great sage opened wide his. Fire eyes and golden pupils as he. Lowered his head and there it was, on Buddha's right middle. Finger was the sentence heaven? Equalling great sage. Has made it here under the thumb.

There was. Still the stink of monkey piss. The great sage was astonished. Muttering to himself. This can't be this. Can't be I. Wrote this sentence. Upon a heaven supporting pillar. How did it end? Up on his finger could. It be that he has some. Future predicting trick? I don't believe this, I. Don't believe it.

Let me go again. Splendid, great sage. As he hurriedly leapt. Up to get. Would have flipped his palm and pushed the Monkey King out of the western gate of. Heaven there. His. Five fingers transformed into a mountain chain of five. Peaks each. Representing Gold Wood, Water Fire. And Earth. Respectively this.

Mountain was named Wu Xinshan. The five. Faces Mountain, which gently pressed the wukong on the ground. The various Thunder gods, along with Ananda and Kashapp all folded their hands together to give praise, saying. How? Wonderful. How wonderful. Then an egg. Learned to be man, aimed to cultivate, and the true way came untouched by eternity.

It became Extreme evil. Now finally met a rightful end not knowing when. He could go free. Again, since rulay the. Buddha has subdued the wicked monkey.

He immediately. Called Ananda and Kashap. To return. To the Western realm of ultimate. Bliss with him just then. The Marshals Tian Peng or heavenly wreaths and Hyen Yo or heavenly blessings hurried. Outside the Treasure Hall of. Miraculous, mysters say. May rule. I hold his steps. His Majesty is about to arrive.

Buda heard this. And turned around to watch with reference soon. Glamorous carriages arrived. With spellbinding music and fragrance, the Jade Emperor came. All the way before. Buddha and thanked him saying. We are deeply indebted to. Your great. Powers for vanquishing this evil fiend may. Rule I stop by for one day and allow all the. Immortals to host.

A banquet to. Express their gratitude rule. I dare not refuse. So he folded his hands together in thanks, saying this soul. Monk was summoned here by Heaven's most. Honorable What power is there to speak of the result is due to? The blessings of Heaven's most honorable in all the. How dare I ask?

To be thanked the Jade Emperor, then. Released an edict, sending all the Gods of the Thunder sector to invite every. God there was to join the feast. And. Express their gratitude. To Buddha. They opened up all the grand. Chambers and Palaces and invited. Rulai to the seat of honor, as everyone was.

A feast of Heaven's finest. Delicacies was served. Afterwards, all the gods presented pals, treasures, roots. And flowers to. Buddha saying owing. To the boundless. Powers of rulai.
