Chapter 4625

Chu Yun smiled faintly. "In that case, let your master explain the distinctions between the Four Great Spirit Monkeys to you." "The first is the Lingming Stone Monkey. He understands the transformations of heaven, recognizes the seasons, knows the advantages of the terrain, and can move stars and shift constellations. The second is the Six-Eared Macaque, who excels at listening to sounds, discerning principles, understanding the past and future, and seeing through all things. The third is the Arm-Gibbon, who can grasp the sun and moon, shrink mountains, distinguish between good and bad omens, and manipulate the cosmos. The fourth is the Red-Buttocked Horse Monkey, who understands yin and yang, knows human affairs, is adept at coming and going, and can avoid death to prolong life. These four monkeys do not fall into the ten categories, nor do they fall under the names of the two realms." "The ten categories refer to Heaven, Earth, Gods, Men, Ghosts, the shelled, the scaled, the hairy, the feathered, and the insects. The two realms refer to the Underworld and the mortal world."
