Thirty-three                                                             

In the 26th year of the Republic of China, there was a gangster in Baima Town, Neijiang, Sichuan. His surname was Zeng's name, Liuzi. He was over thirty years old. He had eagle nose, harrier eyes, sharp mouth and cheeks, and was fierce and ruthless. He relied on his brother-in-law as the head of the town's regiment defense team, gathered rogue gangsters, bullying and dominating the market, and doing all kinds of evil.

On the summer solstice, a monkey came from Nanyang, Henan. There are three strange people who play monkeys, one strange. There are an old monkey among the two monkeys, with no hair on their heads, which looks like a bald monk; there are two strange people, a small monkey among the two monkeys, with long tails and bald hairs, and standing like a flagpole; there are three strange people who play monkeys, which are bald, which are mute. Those who play monkeys must have a loud and bright sound and hold a tune before they can play them. How can mute play monkeys? What a strange thing! Everyone is interested and comes to see the wonder of mute play monkeys.

When the monkey plays, the old monkey appears, and the mute shouts "Yiyi...". The old monkey was stunned for a moment, and suddenly turned over several times. Then he jumped to the wooden box and took out a red cassock from the box. The mute "Yaya..." changed his shouting accent. The old monkey quickly put it on and followed the master's shouting. The old monkey sat cross-legged with his knees, folded his hands together, and made a sound of yelling, just like chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha's name. The audience immediately cheered.

The mute made another strange sound of "Ahhh...", and the little monkey appeared, holding a silver spear in his hand, dancing like flying. When the old monkey saw it, he took off his cassock, took out a steel whip from the box, and fought with the little monkey. After several rounds, the little monkey suddenly abandoned the gun and danced its long tail, like a divine whip, which quickly shook it up and down, left and right, approaching step by step. The old monkey was unable to resist, and was forced to escape from the mute, avoiding it, which caused the audience to laugh.

The mute cried out and shouted, and the two monkeys also made a squeak and followed the order and took the silver spear and steel whip back into the box. The little monkey held the basin, and the old monkey bowed and bowed, begging for rewards from the audience. The copper coins were thrown into the basin. After the little monkey collected the money, the mute was about to start the second round of performance. At this time, suddenly, a sudden shout from the crowd: "Where is the monster? How dare you make waves and make magic tricks confuse the crowd!" The audience heard it and ran away in horror, and the venue was empty in an instant. The person who came was the gangster Zeng Liuzi, who brought several thugs, and he turned the mute.

Ba and two monkeys surrounded him, Zeng Liuzi shouted, "Bold and mute! Do you know that you need to pay money and protection fees to come here to play monkeys. You dare to ignore the laws and regulations and do it without authorization." So he ordered his subordinates to confiscate the two monkeys. The thugs rushed into the field and snatched the two monkeys' chains into their hands. The monkeys struggled and screamed. The mutes hurriedly bowed and begged for mercy. However, Zeng Liuzi was indifferent and ordered the thugs to beat the mutes. The mutes were beaten, covered in bruises, and their heads were bleeding. Zeng Liuzi led the monkeys away.

That night, the mute sobbed and cried on the side of the Tao. When the people heard it, they did not dare to help him, for fear of offending Zeng Liuzi and asking for trouble. At midnight, an old man suddenly came. This old man was a magician. He knew that he was a man of his life. He was blushing and black bearded and wanted to fight injustice. He came from war in western Hubei and built a straw shed at the foot of Baita Mountain and lived on the foot of the village at the end of the street to make a living. His magic performance was eccentric and unchanging. He was praised by the audience and was also troubled by Zeng Liuzi. He hated Zeng Liuzi's evil deeds to the core. Because he was a showman, how could he not be pityed? The old man came to the mute and advised him, "Don't be sad, please pack your luggage and follow me." He then helped the mute up and went to the straw shed of Baita Mountain to heal his wounds.

Three days later, Zeng Liuzi was playing with two monkeys at home. Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, and a paper drifted into the yard and fell to Zeng Liuzi's feet. Zeng Liuzi picked it up and read it. He was shocked and read it. He saw the paper: I am the monkey ancestor. You dare to plunder my monkey grandson. I will punish him severely! The handwriting was sloppy, so he used hundreds of monkey hair to stick it out. Zeng Liuzi suddenly lost his color. Could it be that the monkey ancestor appeared? A evil slave came forward to comfort him and said, "I heard that the mute was a magician.

Rescue to Baita Mountain, this is the magic trick of those who make magic tricks. Do not be afraid of them." Zeng Liuzi heard this and was relieved, so he sent evil slaves to lead thugs to find the mute and magic tricks, and wanted to get rid of them. However, when he arrived at Baita Mountain, the house was empty and he was not known. Zeng Liuzi wanted to kill two monkeys, take their brains and eat them to nourish their bodies. Who knew that the next morning, the two monkeys disappeared and disappeared. Zeng Liuzi was shocked and panicked all day long.

Two years later, Zeng Liuzi saw that they were at peace and had already been at peace. One day in autumn, just as everyone had forgotten about this, the sound of monkey playing gongs sounded in the town, and the mute returned to Baima Town to play. Zeng Liuzi was furious when he heard this, so he led several of his subordinates to watch it. When he arrived at the scene, he saw that the onlookers were crowded with people and the water was blocked. He was a bald man in the field, which was a mute. He went forward to take a closer look and saw more than ten monkeys in the field, including long tails, short tails, bald heads and noses, and two monkeys who disappeared last time, were carrying flags, knives, and guns. There were a male monkey in the group, holding a golden cudgel, shaking like flying. The monkeys showed off their power, like a team of monkey soldiers.

Zeng Liuzi turned anger into joy when he saw it. If he caught the monkeys, knocked their brains and ate them, and put them on the monkey heads and feasted them, wouldn't it be nice? He had already forgotten the warnings of two years ago, so he ordered his subordinates to say, "This mute dared to violate the protection fee again, and confronted me, kill him, and captured the monkeys!" After he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud shout in the venue: "Who dares to do it?" Zeng Liuzi was furious, who swallowed the bear heart and leopard courage? He dared to stop him so boldly. When he found the man who stopped, he saw the monkey jumping out, holding a golden cudgel, standing in the field with a sharp voice.

He said, "I am the Great Saint of the Monkey King, Zeng Liuzi. You plundered my descendants two years ago, and now you are crazy again, don't leave! My grandson is coming to collect debts!" ​​Ah! The monkey said, Zeng Liuzi was shocked and looked no more. When he was frightened, he suddenly saw monkeys dancing guns and sticks on both sides of the monkey, shouting in unison: "Please go! I'm here to take revenge!" The monkeys shouted forward, and their weapons were jingling. Someone in the audience shouted, "The Great Saint of the Monkey King is revealed! Run away quickly!" Zeng Liuzi's soul was scattered, and no one dared to approach the former, and ran away with his head.

Zeng Liuzi turned around and ran away. The mute screamed strangely. The monkeys stepped forward and chased each other reluctantly. The monkeys jumped on Zeng Liuzi's shoulders. Zeng Liuzi fell to the ground. The monkeys claws pulled their hair hard. In the blink of an eye, Zeng Liuzi's hair was pulled out. They rolled and crawled, and fled with their heads in their arms! The men fled in all directions. Seeing it, the monkeys laughed and shouted, "This revenge has been avenged, and they are returning to Huaguo Mountain!" The monkeys returned to the field, carried the flag and carried the box, and returned quickly!

Zeng Liuzi returned home in a panic, and since then he suffered from phobia. He ran around like a wandering soul all day long. He ran to the Tuo River, fell into the river, and drowned. His subordinates scattered, and Baima was in peace. Someone in the town said: Two years ago, the mute was rescued by a magician. Later, the two fled to Mount Emei to live in seclusion, practiced monkeys hard, practiced martial arts, and finally revenge. However, the monkeys spoke people's words and called the Great Saint of the Eternal Heaven, for some reason.
