Chapter 206 Waiting for Jingshan
During the reign of Chongzhen, there was a monkey fairy who called himself Jingshan. The soul rests on an old man in Hejian County, talking about poetry with people, judging good or bad luck, and talking tirelessly. If the melons and fruits are placed on the table, the monkey fairy will eat happily. The table is in a mess, but you can't see its true body.
At that time, Gao Niandong's grandfather was sick in bed. Some people said, "Waiting Mountain, a hundred-year-old god, must not be seen." So the Gao family sent a servant to invite the monkey fairy. The old man came very early and stayed in the house all day, but there was still no monkey fairy. His family burned incense and prayed. Suddenly, he heard a loud exclam from the roof: "What a good family." Everyone looked at each other in consters, and the voice sounded under the eaves of Orr. The old man got up to greet him and said, "The immortal is coming." The family followed the old man and rushed out. They heard the sound of bowing and hearing the news, but they never saw anyone.
The immortal came to the house and talked and laughed loudly. The Niandong brothers are still Xiucai. They just came back from the township test. Daxian said, "The second son's answer sheet is not bad, but the "Five Classics" are not very familiar, and they still need to work hard. The day of soaring is not far away." When the Niandong brothers asked about their father's illness, the immortal said, "Life and death are a major event. It's hard to explain the truth." The family knew that this was an ominous omen. After a few, Mr. Gao passed away.
In the past, there was a monkey playper who performed a monkey play in the village. The monkey broke the chain and fled into the deep mountains. Decades passed in a blink of an eye, and the people still saw it from time to time. Monkeys walk erraticly and hide when they see people. Later, he became bold and sneaked into the village to steal fruit cakes, which was difficult to detect. On this day, the monkey came to steal food again and was found by the villagers. He chased him all the way to the wilderness and killed him with random arrows.
The monkey did not know that he was dead, and his soul was floating. He was as light as a leaf. In an instant, he went to the old man in the river and said, "If you can support me, I will make you rich." I took a name for myself, Jingshan.

There is a monkey in Changsha with a gold chain around its neck. It once traveled to and from the home of a scholar and doctor. If you see it, there must be a festive event. Feed its fruit, and the monkey will not refuse. I don't know where it comes from and where it will go. An old man in his nineties said, "I saw this monkey when I was young. At that time, there was still a jade sign on the gold chain, and there was a Ming Dynasty vassal king on the sign." I think the monkey has become an immortal.
