Circus Monkey Lesser Yaoguais
Description
Years ago, after Mount Huaguo was destroyed, the 
Macaque Chief led his followers away, seeking a new place to practice. They trekked to Flaming Mountains, hoping to settle there. However, a plague soon broke out among the monkeys. The Macaque Chief ordered the sick monkeys to be thrown into a deep valley. This action instilled fear among the monkeys, causing them to abandon him and wander aimlessly.
They traveled along human cities, disguising themselves as monkey performers to earn a living. However, after each performance, the audience would disperse, leaving them with meager earnings and often hungry.
One day, a monkey had a sudden idea: why not use their performances to gather people and then rob them? So, they beat drums and gongs, performing energetically to attract a crowd. Once the spectators gathered, they killed them, stripped them of their clothes and valuables, and fled to the next city.
In this manner, they eventually reached the New West. Hearing that the Macaque Chief was also practicing there, they became monkey monks. Feeling guilty towards their kin, the Macaque Chief avoided them, which only fuelled their resentment. Knowing they were no match for the Macaque Chief, they took on the role of welcoming guests. By striking a gong, they could summon other patrolling guais. They waited every day for the chance to see the Macaque Chief, planning to summon the guais and give him a good beating when the time came!
Poetry
Through hoops they leap, and somersault,
With drums and tricks, their skills exalt.
The wicked stride with fearless ease,
While the kind are burdened, never at peace.
