Description

A short video recorded Alvaro Cerezo when Hồ Văn Lang took a plane for the first time with much bewilderment. Every time he looked down through the window plane window, there is a transition scene in the "lower world" with something a bit like a person jumping like a monkey moving over a natural terrain. This is actually the view from heaven of two gods called Thien Ly Nhan (eyes see through ten thousand miles) and Thuan Phong Nhi (ears hearing ten thousand miles) in the movie Journey to the West. When the Jade Emperor saw a great earthquake, he sent these two gods to go see what was happening in the lower world. They said that a stone monkey was just born from a broken sacred stone.
