When he mentioned the god he believed in, M'Baku's eyes instantly became pious.
Although he didn't know why Eric Killmonger asked this, M'Baku still answered with a hint of piety.
"The name of the ape god is Hanuman!"
After M'Baku finished speaking, Eric Killmonger nodded slightly, raised the high-tech communication bracelet on his wrist, and Kimo Yuzhu projected a document in front of M'Baku.
"I think you should see this."
M'Baku looked at the holographic projection screen in front of him in confusion and read the information displayed on it.
But as he continued to look, M'Baku's expression gradually began to change.
What Eric Killmonger projected on the screen in front of M'Baku was actually a brief introduction and comparison between the Indian epic "Ramayana" and the Chinese classical mythology biography "Journey to the West".
The protagonists in both books are both monkey gods, the Indian monkey god Hanuman and the Chinese monkey god Sun Wukong. The descriptions of the two monkeys in the two books have many similarities. There seem to be thousands of similarities between the two.
Inextricably linked.
First of all, both monkeys have an indissoluble bond with the wind.
Hanuman is the son of the wind god. He is so powerful that with a single leap he can fly into the vast sky, soar into the clouds and ride on the mist, and rush along with the turbulent waves like the wind.
The Sun Wukong absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon from a fairy stone, burst out a stone egg, and turned into a stone monkey when it saw the wind. He had infinite power. The Sun Wukong who learned the magic can also fly through the clouds and mist, and he can travel thousands of miles in one go.
Secondly, Hanuman is tall and can change his height and image at will, and Sun Wukong's seventy-two transformations are also similar.
Third, Hanuman's weapon, the Tiger-headed Golden Cudgel, and Sun Wukong's weapon, the Ruyi-like Golden Cudgel, are also very similar. This cannot be just a coincidence.
In addition, the plots of the two books also have many similarities.
There is a passage in the epic "Ramayana" that says that Hanuman stole the sweet fruits from the Ashoka Grove and was discovered by a female Rakshasa. As a result, Hanuman destroyed the sweet fruits and killed the guard.
This plot is very similar to Sun Wukong eating peaches, stealing elixirs, and causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace.
In addition, some chapters of Journey to the West are also very similar to the overall storyline of Ramayana.
Chapter 69 of Journey to the West, "Tang Monk from the Zhuzi Kingdom discussed the past life, and Sun Xingzhe gave him a three-folded arm." It is written that the Tang Monk and his disciples passed by the Zhuzi Kingdom on their way to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and saw its king posting a yellow list to recruit wise men from all over the world.
It cures diseases.
Wukong exposed the yellow list and diagnosed the king's illness, saying that the king suffered from "two birds missing the flock", which is commonly known as lovesickness.
It turned out that a few years ago, the king and the Golden Saint Empress were playing in the Imperial Garden during the Dragon Boat Festival. Suddenly a strong wind blew, and the Golden Saint Empress was taken away by the demon Sai Taisui of Qilin Mountain.
From then on, King Zhuzi missed the Golden Saint Empress day and night and fell ill.
After Sun Wukong understood the situation, he first prescribed a medicine for the king, and then went to Qilin Mountain. Through fighting with the demons, he defeated Sai Taisui and rescued the Golden Saint Empress, and the king was cured of his illness.
The main chapter of "Ramayana" describes Rama, the prince of Ayodha King, who was forced to exile in the forest due to palace struggles. His beloved wife Sita was captured by the demon King Ravana of Surangla. Hanuman was brave and astute.
Burning the Lankavatara palace, stealing the fairy grass, killing the demon king Ravana, and rescuing Sita.
The storylines of the two are exactly the same.
What shocked M'Baku was that not only the name of the Indian monkey god Hanuman was exactly the same as their ape god, but even the plots described in the two books had many similarities with the myths and legends circulated in their tribe.
.
Their ape god Hanuman was also born in the wind, and the weapon he used was also a long stick. To say that all this was a coincidence, M'Baku himself did not believe it.
That is to say, their ape god Hanuman, the Indian monkey god Hanuman, and the Chinese monkey god Sun Wukong are very likely to be the same powerful existence, but the legends left in different countries are different.
, but many aspects such as his birth, appearance, strength and weapons have remained fairly consistent.
According to the time when the three people were spread, Hanuman last appeared in China.
Thinking of this, M'Baku couldn't help but look up at Chen Mo. Isn't he from China?
At the same time, Monkey King's indestructible body described in Journey to the West was unscathed by swords, axes, thunder and fire. M'Baku couldn't help but think of Chen Mo's powerful defense that seemed invulnerable when the two fought before.
And Chen Mo seems to have the power of a mountain, a powerful force that he can't shake even with all his strength.
Thinking of this, M'Baku couldn't help but have a surprising guess in his mind.
"this……?"
M'Baku took a deep look at Chen Mo with a solemn expression, and then looked at Eric Killmonger again.
"Is everything written on this true?"
Although he believed that his king would not lie to him, the meaning behind this matter was so great that he had no choice but to be cautious.
Eric Killmonger took out a string of kimo beads from his body and handed them to M'Baku.
"The Indian epic "Ramayana" and the Chinese mythological biography "Journey to the West" are well-known historical masterpieces in both countries. They can be searched on the Internet. What I show you is just a simple plot comparison. You can search for it yourself or
Just find a few people from their country to verify it yourself."
Nodding slowly, M'Baku did not refuse to use high-tech things as before. When it comes to issues related to the identity of God, those things are not important anymore.
After giving Chen Mo a complicated look, M'Baku took the Kimo beads handed by Eric Killmonger, turned and left the meeting hall.
The matter was so important that he had to conduct a thorough investigation and verification.
…
The next day, M'Baku came to the palace meeting hall again. Today there were still only Eric Killmonger and Chen Mo. They sat side by side on chairs and seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.
M'Baku walked in and looked at Chen Mo with extremely complicated eyes, including excitement, admiration, suspicion and anxiety.
He spent a day looking up the legends about the monkey god Hanuman and the monkey god Sun Wukong from both countries, and personally compared the similarities between the two and the monkey god Hanuman he believed in. The more in-depth he studied,
M'Baku is even more certain that these three are the same existence!
Not only that, after confirming the connection between the three, M'Baku also specifically checked all of Chen Mo's information through Wakanda's intelligence organization "War Dogs".
From this information, M'Baku discovered something even more amazing!
