646 chapters, that monkey head really speaks…

Last time the Classic said that the two demons on Mount Pingdingshan asked Sun Wukong to introduce them to the scenic spots of Huaguo Shan, the most noteworthy being the Water Curtain Cave. Sun Wukong was extremely familiar with Huaguo Shan on the east coast of the East Victory Divine Continent.

Because Huaguo Shan is Sun Wukong's hometown.

Sun Wukong was born in Huaguo Shan and grew up there. He knew every plant and tree, every grain of sand and wood, every flower and fruit on Huaguo Shan like the back of his hand. Speaking of the Water Curtain Cave, that was where he played as a child. He was familiar with the stone pots, stone stoves, stone bowls, stone chopsticks, stone basins, stone beds, stone stools, and so on inside the cave, just as familiar as with his own limbs.

Readers know, Sun Wukong was originally a stone monkey born from a crack in the stone on Huaguo Shan. Otherwise, how could he withstand thunderbolts and blazing fire, blades and axes?

Sun Wukong said: "Demon, if you release my master and junior fellow disciple, I will take you on a sightseeing tour of Huaguo Shan; all scenic spot tickets will be on me, Old Sun. I will be your guide, taking you to see the Water Curtain Cave—I won't charge you a penny, providing food, lodging, and reimbursing round-trip travel expenses."

The second demon laughed: "Monkey head, stop teasing me. What's fun about the Water Curtain Cave? Isn't it just a cave entrance with water hanging?"

Sun Wukong said: "You demon, you don't know that water differs from water and caves differ from caves. There is dead water and living water; there are dark caves and bright caves. The cave of Huaguo Shan's Water Curtain Cave is the number one cave under heaven, and its water is the number one water under heaven."

The second demon laughed: "This monkey head really can boast! I've only heard of the number one spring under heaven, but I've never heard of a number one cave or number one water."

Sun Wukong laughed: "You're a demon because you only think of what benefits yourself all day; you never consider others' affairs. How many mountains and waters under heaven do you not know?"

The second demon also boasted: "Monkey head, don't look down on people from a crack in the door, thinking little of them. What mountain or water under heaven do I not know?"

Sun Wukong said: "I haven't yet seen that you have such ability! Then tell me, which mountains have you seen? What's on those mountains?"

The second demon said: "Monkey head, not only can your monkey mouth talk, your monkey mind works quickly too. You haven't even mentioned the merits of Huaguo Shan's Water Curtain Cave. Do you want me to speak of mountains and waters?"

Sun Wukong laughed: "That's also true. You demon, you're quite clever. All right, I'll first speak of the merits of Huaguo Shan's Water Curtain Cave. The Water Curtain Cave is really fun to play in. Inside: when the wind blows there's shelter; when it rains there's a good place to hide. Frost and snow pose no fear; thunder never startles. Mist and rosy clouds constantly shine; auspicious vapors continually perfume. Outside: pine and bamboo flourish year-round; exotic flowers bloom anew each day. Moss forms layered green screens; white clouds drift over jade cliffs. Mist and rosy clouds illuminate the empty windows; sea waves play music like strings. Cultivated bamboo stays green all seasons; prosperity brings fragrance month after month. This truly is Huaguo Shan's blessed land, the Water Curtain Cave a heavenly grotto……………………………….."

Before I left the mountain, I often led the little monkeys of Huaguo Shan to play in the Water Curtain Cave. There we gathered a hundred flowers in spring for food, sought sweet fruits in summer to stave off hunger, and stored harvests in autumn and winter to while away the years…………………………….

We brothers, sisters, elders, and youngsters of Huaguo Shan… had a wonderful time. All day we leapt through trees and climbed branches, searched for fruit, ran through sand pits, built pagodas, caught dragonflies, caught grasshoppers, pulled vines, wove straw hats, squeezed and pressed, played till we lost track of time in the mountains, years passing without notice……………………….

It's like your Mount Pingdingshan—aside from wild forests, old trees, and strange rocks, it's just your harmful demons and monsters. Whatever monster, as long as you hand over my master and junior fellow disciple, I'll take you on a tour of Huaguo Shan."

The second demon laughed: "You monkey head, with your pointed mouth and cheeks, when you speak you go on and on, and you're quite eloquent. You've talked half a day, going round and round—why not just talk about your Huaguo Shan?"

Sun Wukong also laughed: "Yeah, monster, who doesn't praise their hometown?"

The second demon laughed: "Monkey head, you can talk, but I'd rather listen…………………………………………………………. "
