688 chapters, Sun Wukong was greatly startled.
In the previous chapter, the Classic of Documents said, Sun Wukong and the demon loved to argue about whose mind was broader.
The demon said: "Sun Wukong, the monkey head of Huaguo Shan, your mind should be the greatest among all people under heaven."
Sun Wukong said: "Why is that?"
The demon said: "Why even ask why? Because your Huaguo Shan faces the great sea, neighboring the sea."
Sun Wukong said: "You demon, you're talking nonsense again. Does constantly facing the sea and being its neighbor make one's mind broad? Those pirates, who are always out at sea, isn't their mind broader than anyone's?"
The demon said: "Monkey head, you're spouting nonsense again. If a pirate didn't have a mind as vast as the sea, how could they dare to roam the sea amidst wind and waves?"
Sun Wukong said: "Demon, isn't this just bandit logic?"
The demon said: "What is bandit logic?"
Sun Wokong said: "Bandit logic is using every possible means to find excuses for one's own bad deeds, imposing one's thoughts on others."
The demon said: "Monkey head, if I follow your reasoning, am I imposing my thoughts on you? Does that make me a bandit?"
Sun Wukong said: "You dominate the mountain as king, Laozi is number one under heaven, you rob others' possessions, bully men and dominate women, on the mountain you occupy you've done all kinds of evil, you also produce and sell counterfeit goods, pass off uninspected products as certified, cheat and harm people—you are a bandit, you're worse than a bandit. You will be cursed and condemned; you'll die by the gun, a bad death, and in your next life you'll have to carry the black pot."
The demon ghost said: "Monkey head, who are you talking about? Are you pointing at mulberry trees while cursing locust trees, pointing at mountains while selling stones?"
Sun Wukong said: "Sun Wukong walks upright and sits steady. Being upright in conduct and righteous in action, speaking without beating around the bush. To you demon, do I still need to point at mulberry trees while cursing locust trees, point at mountains while selling stones? What I mean is you demon monsters, the scum of humanity."
The demon said: "Monkey head, are you saying we are the scum of humanity? Are you looking down on us, cursing us demon monsters? It seems we two today, Africa must have a great battle."
Sun Wukong said: "I swear I cannot coexist with you. You captured my master and even prepared to steam and eat him. You can eat such a good person—isn't the hearts of you demons completely black?"
The demon said: "You monkey head, you've pushed the argument to this point. In today's world, how many people's hearts aren't black? Those who harm and dig out hearts to eat—could that really be us demons on the mountain? Have you never harmed anyone? Never trapped anyone? Never dug out and eaten someone's heart?"
Sun Wukong said: "Demon, today I ask you to speak more clearly—whose trap have I set? Whom have I harmed? Whose heart have I dug out and eaten?"
The demon said: "Are you really wanting me to say it out?"
Sun Wukong said: "Demon, just say it!"
The demon's words were what greatly startled Sun Wukong.
