Some netizens called the one-armed monkey "Xingxing" "the most spiritual monkey on the whole network", but when he first met the air carrier, its state was completely different from now, and even some "people should not approach". What happened to the "stars" in the past?How did it meet Shitai and how did they get along?
Encounter: An uninvited guest at an ancient temple in the mountains.
The Yanghu Temple in Daliang Mountain, Ninghai County, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province is an ancient temple in the deep mountains, where the master of Zaikong practiced. Mrs. Shi has been a nun since the death of her husband at the age of 46. Before 2008, she was in the Yanghu Hall every day, not to stir up dust, not to ask about the world. But in 2008, Shi Taigujing's life was broken by an uninvited guest, and it was "Star".
Xingxing is a Tibetan chief monkey, a macaque endemic to China, inhabiting the Yunnan-Guizhou region and the northwest region, Ninghai is not a habitat for monkeys, and monkeys have never appeared. In 2008, the "star" suddenly appeared here, apparently alone. And when Shitai first saw it, it only had one hand left.
Master Zaita: "Because it only has one hand, when the flies bother it, it tilts its head, and it looks very troubled." With one hand, you can't walk well. ”
Lonely one-armed "star".
No one knows where the Star came from, but the Sky Carrier guesses from the strangulation marks on its neck and the loss of its arm that it may have had a hard time. Shitai was compassionate and took out her own food to feed the "stars".
Zaikong Shitai: "Put a banana on the ground, and then call it to eat, and it will leave after eating, and it will not stay here." I came again the next day, got the food and hid back in the back mountain, and came back to me after eating. If there is a stranger, it does not come. ”
A "star" who keeps a distance from the air carrier
Xingxing" Although he ate Shitai's food, his eyes were still cold. Not only will it not be touched by Shitai, but it will also attack anyone who comes close to it.
Get along: Treat it like a child.
Despite the wild and untamable nature of the Star, the aircrew still insisted on feeding. Gradually, "Xingxing" relaxed his guard against Shitai. It learns to eat what is in Shitai's hands, and it also accepts Shitai's touch. In this way, the "star" settled down here with Shitai.
Xingxing" loves yogurt.
In the ancient temples deep in the mountains, feeding, combing, and massaging. A person and a monkey get closer and closer in the daily bits and pieces, and gradually become relatives who cling to each other.
The air-carrying master treats the "stars" too much, as if they were their own children. She would sometimes call the "star" a "baby", rub its head, and stick it to its face. The Star became docile and well-behaved, and stopped attacking strangers who approached it.
Of course, when "Xingxing" is too naughty, Mrs. Shi will also admonish it.
Master Zaikong: "When you don't behave, you will take it to the Buddha Hall, knock on the table and say see if you dare in the future." Close the door of the Buddha hall tightly, knock on the ground with a cane, and see if you dare in the future. ”
A "star" that is reflecting after making a mistake
Xingxing: "Every day with Mrs. Shi is happy. At the foot of the mountain is the fireworks of the world in a hurry, and the days on the mountain are peaceful and long.

So, she recited the scriptures every day and asked Yanghu Gong for help, asking Yanghu Gong to bless the "star" to be safe and sound outside and go home as soon as possible.
Master Zaikong: "'Star', you come out!."I just sat and cried and cried. 'Star' gone?I searched all over the back mountain, and I climbed to the mountain to look for it. What the hell is it hiding in?I didn't bother to eat for days. ”

If you can't wait for Shitai on the sink, the "star" will go down to the parking lot under the Yanghu Palace, where she will wait for Shitai to come back. Because it knew that Mrs. Shi had left by car from here.
