Chapter 2
Sun Wukong stayed at Patriarch Bodhi's place for seven years.
Every day, he listened to lessons with everyone, learned to write characters, and did tasks.
One day, Patriarch Bodhi asked Wukong what he wanted to learn.
Wukong said, he only wanted to learn the magic of immortality.
Patriarch Bodhi heard this and became very angry, hit Wukong's head three times with a ruler, and then left through the back door.
Everyone blamed Wukong.
But Wukong understood the master's meaning.
In the middle of the night, he quietly got up and entered the master's room through the back door.
He knelt in front of the bed.
Patriarch Bodhi sat up and asked him why he came.
Wukong said: "Master hit me three times, and went out the back door, meaning for me to come from the back door at midnight."
Patriarch Bodhi was very happy, so he taught the method of immortality to Wukong.
Later, Patriarch Bodhi taught Wukong the Seventy-Two Transformations and the Somersault Cloud.
The Somersault Cloud is a type of cloud that flies very fast, one somersault can fly very far.
Wukong learned it, and was very happy in his heart.
One day, he and everyone were playing outside the cave.
He transformed into a pine tree to show everyone.
Everyone saw it and cheered.
Patriarch Bodhi happened to pass by, saw Wukong showing off like this, and was unhappy in his heart.
Wukong immediately admitted his mistake.
But Patriarch Bodhi said: the fate between us as master and disciple has ended today.
Go back to the Flower and Fruit Mountain.
Wukong was very surprised, knelt down and begged to stay.
Patriarch Bodhi's attitude was very firm, insisting that he must leave.
He also said: you will definitely cause trouble in the future.
From now on, you cannot tell anyone that I am your master.
Wukong had no choice, so he bid farewell with tears.
Wukong rode his somersault cloud and quickly returned to the Flower and Fruit Mountain.
The monkeys saw him return and all gathered around to cry.
They told Wukong a piece of bad news.
Recently, a demon called the Chaos Demon King took over the Water Curtain Cave and captured many little monkeys.
Upon hearing this, Wukong became very angry.
He immediately went to the front of the Chaos Demon King's cave and shouted insults loudly.
The little demon guarding the gate was terrified and ran inside to report.
The demon king rushed out with a big knife and started fighting with Wukong.
Wukong saw that his martial arts were ordinary.
He then plucked a handful of fine hairs from his body and chewed them up in his mouth.
Then, he spat out the chewed hairs and shouted "transform".
Those hairs immediately transformed into two to three hundred little monkeys.
Each little monkey held a weapon and tightly surrounded the demon king.
The demon king was flustered and could not block the attacks.
Wukong took the opportunity to snatch his big sword and cut him in half with one slash.
Wukong rushed into the cave, drove away the remaining little monsters, and rescued the captured monkeys.
Everyone was very happy and returned together to Flower-Fruit Mountain.
The monkeys prepared a lavish feast to celebrate.
During the meal, Sun Wukong was very happy and performed several magical tricks for everyone to see.
The monkeys watched, all clapped and cheered, thinking he was very impressive.
