- While our Monkey King was fighting his way out of the city, he was suddenly caught in a clump of grass and stumbled. Waking up with a start,
- he realized that it was all a dream. As he was stretching himself, he heard
- the four mighty commanders and the various monkeys crying with a loud
- voice, "Great King! How much wine did you imbibe? You've slept all night
- long. Aren't you awake yet?" "Sleeping is nothing to get excited about," said
- Wukong, "but I dreamed that two men came to arrest me, and I didn't perceive their intention until they brought me to the outskirts of the Region of Darkness. Showing my power, I protested right up to the Palace of Darkness and argued with the Ten Kings. I went through our ledger of births and
- deaths and crossed out all our names. Those fellows have no hold over us
- now:' The various monkeys all kowtowed to express their gratitude.
- From that time onward there were many mountain monkeys who did not grow
- old, for their names were not registered in the Underworld. When the
- Handsome Monkey King finished his account of what had happened, the
- four mighty commanders reported the story to the demon kings of various caves, who all came to tender their congratulations. Only a few days
- had passed when the six sworn brothers also came to congratulate him, all
- of them delighted about the cancellation of the names.
