来源:www.3w8i.com 2024-07-27

One day, the Jade1 Emperor invited Monkey Sun, the GRE at Sage2 Equalling Heaven, to Heaven, and asked him to administer the Peach Orchard3. The Great Sage was overjoyed because anyone who ate the ripened4 peaches became eternal, living as long as Heaven and Earth. Everyday he picked the best peaches to enjoy, and after he had his fill, he shrunk himself to only two inches long and slept on the branch of a tree.

One day the Queen Mother arranged a banquet(宴会,盛宴) of peaches by the Jade Pool. When the fairies sent by her were picking peaches in the Peach Orchard, the Great Sage awoke and was annoyed to discover he was not invited to the feast. He spoke5 a magic spell which immobilized(使固定) fairies, then he went straight to the Jade Pool where he saw rare fruits and fine delicacies6 and smelt7 the fragrance8(香味,芬芳) of jade liquor. He performed a spell by bulling several hairs from his body and chewing them up, the hairs turned into sleep-inducing insects which then bit all the busy serants, causing them to fall asleep. Then the Great Sage ate rare delicacies and drank precious wines until he was completely full. He put the leftovers9(遗留,剩余物) in a big bag for the small monkeys on the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit.

After this, he went to the place where Lord Lao Zi kept the elixir10(不老长寿药) . The Great Sage ate up all the golden pills of elixir in the precious gourd11, then he rushed out of the Gate of Heaven and went straight down to the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit.
