"Laojun's release of the Great Saint is the cause; during the rebellion stirred by the Great Saint, the severing of the connection between Taiqing and Laojun is the effect."
"With the passage of time, reversing effect and cause, and under the inversion of cause and effect, it is precisely because the connection between Laojun and Taiqing was severed."
"Laojun is no longer constrained by Taiqing; as a result, he acted on his own and quietly released the playful monkey—hence, all that ensued!"
Zhang Fusheng clapped his hands and laughed. This is the effect preceding the cause, the effect gives birth to the cause, the cause sustains the effect!
Then the question arises.
Why did Tai Shang Laojun release the playful monkey?
Zhang Fusheng squinted his eyes.
"All my current speculation is based on the premise that Taiqing is unaware of Laojun's actions."
