It happened so quickly that at the moment when the gods were looking out the door, a monkey with golden hair all over his body and a thunder god's mouth jumped in. Who else could it be but Sun Wukong?
As soon as Yu Wuwei saw Monkey Brother, his eyes widened and he could hardly control the heat in his heart.
Wow! Monkey King! My childhood idol! I really want you to sign this, don't you?
Yu Wuwei suppressed his inner excitement and did not rush up to express his admiration. Fortunately, he still remembered that this was his restaurant, and in their eyes, he was just a prehistoric giant with boundless magical powers.
Who was he? How could he show his admiration for a monkey? Wouldn't it be a crime to expose him if he did that?
After the monkey entered the room, he squeezed into the middle of a group of gods as if no one was around. He grabbed a skewer and started chewing it. His eyes suddenly lit up. It was so delicious!
"Good for you guys, you have such a delicious place but you don't even know how to share it! If I hadn't come to the Heavenly Palace to make fun of you today and found out about this place, you would never invite me over in your lifetime, right?"
How could the gods dare to offend this evil spirit? This was the one who had caused such a disturbance in the Heavenly Palace that he almost broke into the Sky Palace. Just a few days ago, he had confronted the Queen Mother at the Peach Banquet, almost embarrassing the Master of Yaochi.
The gods apologized and asked the Great Sage where he came from and how he could find himself here when he had time to come to Heaven.
The monkey did not avoid them. After all, these gods had helped him a lot on his journey to the West, and they had a very good relationship with him.
It turned out that the monkey had also had some free time since the separation between immortals and mortals.
The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Buddhism all focus on cause and effect and on saving all sentient beings. However, immortals and mortals are separated, and sentient beings cannot see them. So what is the point of saving all sentient beings?
It would be fine if he were like other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. After all, Buddhist practice focuses on concentration. When the Sandalwood Merit Buddha was reincarnated as a mortal, he could sit in meditation for three years. What about the Buddhas of Mount Lingshan today?
Therefore, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are generally not afraid of idleness. For them, sitting in meditation is a form of practice, and it is not uncommon for them to sit for tens of thousands of years.
However, this monkey is different. He jumps up and down even when he is tied to a pillar. It is too difficult for him to sit idle and do nothing.
So the monkey wanders around here and there all day long, just to find something interesting to do and have fun.
What's more, this thing flew very fast and disappeared in one somersault.
Just now, I heard that a few days ago, a group of naughty kids got into a fight and finally alarmed the Jade Emperor. This top official in Heaven was so angry that he ordered the kids' parents to take them back for re-education.
The monkey flew away to who knows where before returning home. When he heard the news, he became excited and his restless temper immediately came to the fore.
After coming up, I heard that a group of naughty kids had a fight yesterday and caused serious damage to several places, which made the Jade Emperor so angry that he slammed the table.
The monkey was even more delighted when he heard this. After asking around, he learned that the kids had started fighting because they had watched a cartoon in a restaurant.
A restaurant? What restaurant? When did restaurants start opening in Heaven?
Cartoons? What the hell are cartoons? How could they actually cause a bunch of kids to fight? How come I, Old Sun, have never heard of such a powerful thing?
What? The food in that restaurant is so delicious? Even the hot pot at the Peach Banquet came from that restaurant?
After hearing so much explosive news, how could this curious monkey restrain himself? He asked for directions and flew over.
As soon as he reached the door, he smelled a strong aroma that aroused the monkey's appetite. Seeing that a group of gods were eating happily, how could he resist? He shouted angrily and rushed in.
The monkey briefly explained the purpose of his visit, and the gods introduced the restaurant to him.
Only then did the monkey notice the restaurant owner sitting behind the counter.
The monkey turned around and took a closer look. It was a young man. How old was he? He couldn't tell! What level was he? He couldn't tell! How strong was he? He couldn't tell!
The monkey is confused now. Look at my flaming eyes!
However, it was of no use. Even if he used his Fiery Eyes to the fullest, he still could not see anything!
The monkey was a little confused this time. What was going on?
His pair of blazing eyes searched the whole world, and there were really not many people who could hide from it. The immortal in front of him was actually one of them!
It was awkward, but the monkey also knew that he had met a capable person.
Ever since the monkey was suppressed by Tathagata once, he knew that there is always someone stronger than you. Although he is still a bit wild, he is not ignorant of the current situation. Especially after becoming a Buddha, he has become more tactful.
He immediately jumped out, clasped his hands together and bowed to Yu Wuwei: "Amitabha! I am honored to meet you!"
Yu Wuwei felt a little awkward, so he shook his head and said, "No need to be so polite. Since you're here, you're a guest. Here's the menu for whatever you want to eat, but no more than three items."
Yu Wuwei handed the menu to Monkey, then pointed to the upright freezer. "There are also barbecue skewers over there. You can pick whatever you want, but no more than forty skewers. Hot pot is also available, but it's limited!"
The monkey had already heard about this from a group of fellow immortals, and seeing that Yu Wuwei didn't care about empty formalities, he was too lazy to go through all this tedious etiquette.
The monkey is not like other gods. Even though the immortal said that he should just treat him as the owner of a restaurant, he is still very respectful every time he comes.
The monkey was a unique and lawless person who was very friendly with everyone. Since the shopkeeper didn't allow him to be polite, he wouldn't be polite.
Even when he bowed just now, it was because his master told him to be polite when meeting strangers! Now he feels more relaxed and at ease.
Yu Wuwei also felt that this kind of monkey was more pleasing to the eye, and this was the image of Monkey King in his mind.
Monkey had never seen or eaten the dishes on the menu before, so he randomly picked three and then went to choose some barbecue skewers. As for the hot pot, of course he just ordered as much as he could.
What surprised Yu Wuwei was that the skewers picked by the monkey were all meat, without any vegetarian food.
"Speaking of which, don't you Buddhists have precepts to abstain from the five pungent foods and three disgusting foods? Is it really okay for you to eat meat like this?" Yu Wuwei asked subconsciously.
The monkey said nonchalantly, "Discipline? What are those? It recognizes me, Sun Wukong, but I don't recognize it! As the saying goes, meat and wine pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart. That old man Jianglong can eat more meat than me, but isn't he still an Arhat?"
After the monkey finished choosing, he returned to the group of gods, holding a skewer of one in his left hand and a bite of another dish in his right hand. He did not consider himself an outsider at all and enjoyed eating and chatting happily.
These gods didn't dare to say anything more. The master who had caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace was just so special.
Even a god like Zhang Guolao who was very protective of his food did not dare to refute. If it were any other god, no matter how high his rank was, he would definitely protect his food to the end, but he did not dare to do so when facing the monkey.
