Once upon a time , there was a little kingdom called Aolai in the East Ocean continent . There was a god stone on top of a mountain . Once , a monkey was hatched out of the stone , and surprisingly , he could walk and talk right away . Another day , the stone monkey found a waterfall while playing with other monkeys . They all agreed to bow to the monkey who dared to go into the waterfall unscathed . Immediately the stone monkey jumped in and found a cave there . So he became Monkey King .
Thereafter the monkeys played happily and leisurely in the mountains . But suddenly , the Monkey King wanted to study the art of immortality . So he crossed the oceans to seek for gods . One day , he asked a villager where the god was . The villager replied there was an old friendly god living in the mountains . ‘ Boom ’ the Monkey King somersaulted to a beautiful cave .
Strangely two Tao children were already waiting for him and they took him to see the master . The master gave him a new name called Sun Wukong . Time flied . After seven years , one day the master asked him what he would like to learn . Sun Wukong insisted on learning the art of immortality . The master seemed angry but still decided to grant him the wish .
Sun Wukong was so clever that he could grasp all the things the master taught him . But one day , he played a trick on his other disciples . The master was angry and he kicked Sun Wukong out at once .
Then Sun Wukong went back to his home . He stole the great golden cudgel from the Dragon Palace and crossed his name off the book of life and death . The Jade Emperor knew it , he made him as his horse keeper . Sun Wukong was happy to take the job . He rode the heaven horses every day
A month passed , when he knew the rank of horse keeper was so low , he was so angry that he decided to go back and claimed to be the King of Heaven . The Jade Emperor was so angry that he sent an army to seize Sun Wukong but failed . Without choice , the Jade Emperor ordered Erlang to subdue the monkey . Erlang was more powerful than Sun Wukong and he subdued him and sent him to Lord Laozi .
Lord Laozi was the high lord in Heaven . He put Sun Wukong into his furnace . But Sun Wukong was so cunning that he finally escaped from the furnace and re-launched the war against the Jade Emperor . So the Emperor asked Buddha for help . Buddha challenged Sun Wukong to jump out of his hand . Sun Wukong thought it was such an easy task . He made a mark on Buddha ’ s hand . But he couldn ’ t jump or even run away .
Finally , he was shackled under the mountain of five elements made by Buddha .
