First of all, it is widely circulated among the people that the Monkey King was demonized by a fairy stone, and this fairy stone is the one at the foot of Guo Huashan, guarded by Bodhi Bodhi. When he really became a demon monkey, Bodhi went on to teach the demon monkey various spells. But how did this stone come from?
Speculation about the Monkey King's predecessor can be roughly divided into the following categories. The first one is that Pangu's axe was changed. At that time, after Pangu fell, his axe was immortalized into a stone, and over time, this stone gradually became a demon stone. Most netizens disapprove of this conjecture. After all, in Journey to the West, the Tathagata once said that there are four slackers like the Monkey King in these three realms. What I want to say is that the Monkey King's predecessor was changed by four monkeys in the mixed era, and a true and false chapter of the Monkey King suddenly appeared in Journey to the West. The Tathagata once said that there are three realms and four monkeys, because of the demon nature, and even the horrible life and death book is not recorded. Moreover, considering the previous life of the Monkey King, it is very likely that the Monkey King was also changed by the four monkeys in the mixed world, and Guanyin hid all this for her Buddhist scriptures.
There is also a saying that the Monkey King is the real body of the gods after the death of Hong Jun's bodhi old zu, that is, the relic he left evolved. After the creation of heaven and earth, there is no hierarchical differentiation among the ten thousand buddhas, and the bodhi old zu in Hong Jun has been fighting all the immortals in the underworld alone. At that time, he was on the verge of extinction, but the last breath saved the relic. After it fell to the world, it was protected in a stone, which led to the later the Monkey King.
The immortal Yuan God, the ancestor of Hong Jun, became a boneless relic under the Buddha. In the post-Journey to the West, the Monkey King finally defeated Wu Tian and became the real ancestor of ten thousand buddhas. And this kind of cultivation, in fact, is not what others can do. Even the Tathagata and the Jade Emperor at that time were in awe of three points. In fact, behind this is the bodhi old zu of Yuan God Hong Jun holding the Monkey King.
