"Excellency Ape?"
At the mention of the god he believed in, Mbaku's eyes instantly became pious.
Although he didn't know why Eric Kermango asked this, Mbaku still replied with a hint of piety.
"Excellency Ape's name is Hanuman!"
After Mbaku finished speaking, Eric Kermango gently nodded and raised the high-tech communication bracelet on his wrist, Kimo Yuzhu, to project a document in front of Mbaku.
"I think you should take a look at this."
Mbaku looked at the holographic projection screen in front of him doubtfully and read the information displayed on it.
But as he continued to read, Mbaku's face gradually began to change.
The screen projected by Eric Kermango in front of Mbaku showed a brief introduction and comparison of the Indian epic Ramayana and the Chinese classic mythological biography Journey to the West.
The protagonists in the two books were both divine monkeys, Hanuman, the monkey god of India, and Sun Wukong, the divine monkey of China. The descriptions of the two monkeys in the two books had many similarities, and there seemed to be inextricably linked between the two.
First of all, the two divine monkeys had an indissoluble fate with the wind.
Hanuman was the son of the wind god, and he was extremely strong. With a leap, he could fly into the vast sky, ride the clouds, and gallop along with the turbulent waves like the wind.
Sun Wukong was a fairy stone that absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, and then a stone egg was produced. When it was exposed to the wind, it turned into a stone monkey with infinite strength. Sun Wukong, who had learned magic, could also ride the clouds and ride the mist, and could travel thousands of miles with a somersault.
Second, Hanuman was tall and could change his height and appearance at will, and Sun Wukong's 72 Transformations also had the same effect.
Third, Hanuman's weapon, the Tiger Head Golden Staff, was also very similar to Sun Wukong's weapon, the Ruyi Jingu Bang, which could not be just a coincidence.
In addition, the plots of the two books also had many similarities.
There was a paragraph in the epic Ramayana that Hanuman stole and ate the sweet fruit in the Carefree Tree Garden and was discovered by the female Rakshasa. As a result, Hanuman destroyed the garden and killed the guard.
This plot was very similar to Sun Wukong stealing the peach of immortality, stealing the elixir, and causing havoc in heaven.
In addition, parts of the Journey to the West were very similar to the overall plot of the Ramayana.
Chapter 69 of the Journey to the West, "Tang Sanzang of the State of Zhuziguo discussed the past life, Traveling Monk Sun performed three folds of his arm". It was written about how Tang Sanzang and his disciples passed by the State of Zhuziguo on their way to the Western Paradise in search of Buddhist scriptures. They saw that the King of Zhuziguo had posted a yellow notice to recruit all the virtuous people in the world to treat his illness.
Wukong uncovered the Yellow Notice and diagnosed the King's illness. He said that the King had "Two Birds Out of Flock Disease", which was commonly known as lovesickness.
It turned out that a few years ago, the king and Goddess Jin Sheng were playing in the imperial garden during the Duan Yang Festival. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and Goddess Jin Sheng was taken away by the demon Sai Taisui from the Qilin Mountain.
From then on, the King of Zhuzi fell ill as he missed Goddess Jin Sheng day and night.
After Sun Wukong understood the situation, he first wrote a prescription for the King and then went to the Qilin Mountain. Through fighting with the demon, he defeated Sai Taisui and rescued Goddess Jin Sheng. As a result, the King's illness was cured.
The main chapter of the Ramayana described how Prince Rama of the Ayuda Kingdom was forced to be exiled to the forest due to palace strife. His beloved wife Siduo was captured by the demon King Rabona of Lanjia City. Hanuman was brave and astute. He set fire to the Lanjia Palace, stole the immortal grass, killed the demon King Rabona and rescued Siduo.
The plot of the two books was exactly the same.
What shocked Mbaku was that not only was the name of the Indian Monkey God Hanuman exactly the same as their Ape God, even the plot described in the two books had many similarities with the myths and legends circulating in their tribe.
Their Ape God Hanuman was also born in the wind and used a long stick as a weapon. Mbaku himself did not believe that all this was a coincidence.
That was to say, their Ape God Hanuman, the Indian Monkey God Hanuman, and China's Monkey God Sun Wukong were very likely to be the same powerful existence, but the legends left behind in different countries were different. However, his birth, appearance, strength, weapons, and many other aspects maintained considerable consistency.
And according to the time of the three legends, the last place where Hanuman appeared was in China.
Thinking of this, Mbaku could not help but look up at Chen Mo. Didn't he come from China?
At the same time, Sun Wukong's indestructible body, which was described in the Journey to the West, was unscathed by swords, axes, lightning, and fire. This reminded Mbaku of Chen Mo's strong defense, which seemed to be invulnerable to swords and spears.
There was also Chen Mo's powerful strength, which seemed to contain the power of mountains and could not be shaken by his full strength.
Thinking of this, Mbaku could not help but have a shocking guess in his heart.
"This …?"
Mbaku took a deep look at Chen Mo with a dignified expression, then looked at Eric Kermango again.
"Is what's written on it true?"
Although he believed that his king would not lie to him, the significance behind this matter was too great, so he had to be cautious.
Eric Kermango took out a string of kimo beads from his body and handed it to Mbaku.
"The Indian epic" Ramayana "and the China mythological biography" Journey to the West "are well-known historical masterpieces in both countries. You can search for them on the Internet. What I showed you is just a simple comparison of the plots. You can search for it yourself or simply find a few people from their countries to verify it yourself."
Slowly nodding his head, Mbaku did not refuse to use high-tech things as before. When it came to the identity of God, those things were not important.
Glancing at Chen Mo with a complicated expression, Mbaku took the kimo beads from Eric Kermango and turned to leave the meeting hall.
This was a matter of great importance. He must conduct a thorough investigation and verification.
…
The next day, Mbaku came to the meeting hall of the palace again. Today, only Eric Kermango and Chen Mo were here. They sat side by side on the chairs and seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.
Mbaku, who walked in, looked at Chen Mo with a very complicated gaze. There was both excitement, reverence, and doubt and anxiety.
He spent a day looking up the legends of the monkey god Hanuman and the divine monkey Sun Wukong in the two countries and personally compared the similarities between the two and the monkey god Hanuman he believed in. The more in-depth the research, the more certain Mbaku was that the three were the same existence!
Not only that, after confirming the connection of the three, Mbaku also specially checked all the information about Chen Mo through the intelligence organization "War Dog" in Wakanda.
