The two spiritual monkeys on Flower and Fruit Mountain were as close as brothers. One day, they met the dragon Ruyi with six ears and received a string of Buddhist prayer beads. The two men traveled a long distance in search of a way to protect the Flower and Fruit Mountain and finally reached the Pillar of Heaven. When they accidentally fell, they were saved by Long Ruyi. Long Ruyi mistook Hou Ji for six ears and fell in love with him. The jealous Liuer was lured by the snake demon and killed the old monkey, causing the brothers to fall out. In the chaotic battle, the snake demon sacrificed himself to save Liuer. The Heavenly Court punished Xiaolongnu for not abiding by the celestial rules and disrupting order, transforming her into a magic needle to stabilize the sea. Under the teachings of the Bodhisattva, Houji erased his memory and protected Tang Seng on his journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. When he was driven away by his master, his six ears took advantage of the situation to enter, thus triggering a distinction between truth and falsehood from the earth to the heavenly Palace.[Collapse]
