The famous Monkey King, this monkey can not only change seventy-two times, but also eat a lot of good things in the sky. Do you know how he survived after 500 years under the Five Elements Mountain?
It is said that the Queen Mother of Yaochi in the Heavenly Palace planted 3,600 peach trees, and the number of peaches on each tree is not only amazing, but also variety. And our Monkey King, as the Monkey King of the Heavenly Palace, once had the honor of guarding the Pan Tao Garden for six months. Do you think, a monkey who loves peaches, can he not be moved in front of so many delicious peaches?
At that time, the situation was like this, when Brother Monkey was guarding the garden, he could steal a meal in about three or two days, and it was boldly estimated that in six months, he would eat at least 180 peaches on the trees. These peaches are not only delicious, but also rich in fairy energy, which is enough for Sun Wukong to eat and drink during the mountain press.
Don't think that's the end of it, the Taishang Laojun of Heavenly Court is also a master of making pills. In his Bagua Furnace, countless Nine-Turn Golden Pills were refined, and each of these Golden Pills was priceless. And Sun Wukong, this clever ghost, when he was in Heaven, took the opportunity to steal the Nine Turns Golden Pill of the entire five gourds. According to the number of pills made by Lao Jun, these golden pills are definitely an astronomical amount.
Therefore, when Sun Wukong was pressed by the Buddha at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, he was not actually tortured. On the contrary, he had enough Pan Tao and Nine Turns Golden Pill as rations, which would not only keep him healthy, but also allow his cultivation to continue to grow in constant oppression and tempering.
You may ask, with so many peaches and golden pills, how did Brother Monkey hide? This is going to talk about a magical treasure, that is, the wishful Buddha treasure given to him by the Bodhi Patriarch. This treasure can not only hold countless peaches and golden pills, but also ensure the freshness and medicinal effect of these things. In this way, Sun Wukong's days under the Five Elements Mountain are not comparable to ordinary monkeys.
Let's talk about the other immortals in the heavenly court, such as the general of the curtain and the marshal of Tianpeng, although they also eat a lot, they are all mortal foods, such as human flesh and the like, which are far less advanced and nourishing than Sun Wukong's peach and golden pill. Therefore, although these two also have a lot of legendary stories, they always seem to be a little powerless, which is in stark contrast to Sun Wukong's performance.
Now, let's go back to the story of Monkey King. When he came out of the Five Elements Mountain, he was greeted not only by the demons and monsters along the way, but also by his growing supernatural powers. These are the effects of peach and golden pill. And all this is because he has a forward-looking reserve of these precious treasures.
As for how he kept using these treasures during the five hundred years he was pressed, the details in the middle are even more mysterious. However, what is certain is that Sun Wukong's wisdom and wit allow him to use the resources in his hands to maintain his survival and cultivation in an extreme environment.
Here, we can't help but admire Sun Wukong's foresight and extraordinary courage. Not only is he resourceful in the Heavenly Court, but he can even turn a crisis into an opportunity even in the suffering situation of being pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, this calmness and wisdom are really amazing.
In general, Sun Wukong was able to survive under the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years, not only by relying on copper juice and iron pills, but thanks to his rich "private dishes" - Pan Tao and Jiuzhuan Jindan. These delicacies in the immortal realm not only kept him alive, but also allowed his mana to increase greatly. The story of Monkey King once again tells us that no matter what kind of predicament we face, as long as we have enough wisdom and preparation, we can always find a way to break through.
