禺(yu)(yu)狨,其實就是一種金絲猴(hou)(hou)。 禺(yu)(yu),母猴(hou)(hou)屬,頭似鬼(gui)。似獼猴(hou)(hou)而大,赤(chi)目長(chang)尾(wei),亦曰沐猴(hou)(hou)。——《說文》。有獸焉,其狀如(ru)禺(yu)(yu)而自耳。——《山(shan)海經》。郭璞注:“禺(yu)(yu)似獼猴(hou)(hou)而長(chang),赤(chi)目長(chang)尾(wei)。”狨:【集韻】獸名(ming)。禺(yu)(yu)屬。其毛柔長(chang)可(ke)藉(jie)。唐(tang)代陳藏(zang)器(qi)《本(ben)草拾(shi)遺》:“狨生山(shan)南山(shan)谷中,似猴(hou)(hou)而大,毛長(chang),黃赤(chi)色。”既然是禺(yu)(yu)屬,又叫禺(yu)(yu)狨,應該是金絲猴(hou)(hou)。
其余(yu)六人分別是:平天大圣牛魔(mo)王(wang)(wang),復海大圣蛟魔(mo)王(wang)(wang),混天大圣鵬魔(mo)王(wang)(wang),移山大圣獅駝(tuo)王(wang)(wang),通風大圣獼(mi)猴王(wang)(wang),齊天大圣美猴王(wang)(wang)。
禺狨王出自(zi)《西(xi)游(you)記》(明·吳承(cheng)恩)。乃七(qi)大圣(sheng)之(zhi)一:七(qi)大圣(sheng)中位列第六位,稱(cheng)驅神大圣(sheng)。
行者道(dao):“你是不(bu)知,我(wo)乃五(wu)百年前(qian)大(da)(da)鬧天(tian)宮的齊(qi)天(tian)大(da)(da)圣(sheng)(sheng)孫悟(wu)空是也。我(wo)當初(chu)未鬧天(tian)宮時(shi)(shi),遍游海角天(tian)涯,四大(da)(da)部洲,無方(fang)不(bu)到。那(nei)時(shi)(shi)節(jie),專慕豪杰,你令尊叫(jiao)做牛魔(mo)王(wang)(wang),稱(cheng)(cheng)為(wei)(wei)平天(tian)大(da)(da)圣(sheng)(sheng),與我(wo)老(lao)孫結為(wei)(wei)七弟(di)(di)兄(xiong),讓他做了(le)大(da)(da)哥;還有(you)個(ge)(ge)蛟魔(mo)王(wang)(wang),稱(cheng)(cheng)為(wei)(wei)覆海大(da)(da)圣(sheng)(sheng),做了(le)二哥;又有(you)個(ge)(ge)大(da)(da)鵬魔(mo)王(wang)(wang),稱(cheng)(cheng)為(wei)(wei)混(hun)天(tian)大(da)(da)圣(sheng)(sheng),做了(le)三哥;又有(you)個(ge)(ge)獅(shi)駝王(wang)(wang),稱(cheng)(cheng)為(wei)(wei)移山大(da)(da)圣(sheng)(sheng),做了(le)四哥;又有(you)個(ge)(ge)獼猴王(wang)(wang),稱(cheng)(cheng)為(wei)(wei)通風大(da)(da)圣(sheng)(sheng),做了(le)五(wu)哥;又有(you)個(ge)(ge)禺狨王(wang)(wang),稱(cheng)(cheng)為(wei)(wei)驅神大(da)(da)圣(sheng)(sheng),做了(le)六哥;惟有(you)老(lao)孫身小,稱(cheng)(cheng)為(wei)(wei)齊(qi)天(tian)大(da)(da)圣(sheng)(sheng),排行第(di)七。我(wo)老(lao)弟(di)(di)兄(xiong)們那(nei)時(shi)(shi)節(jie)耍子時(shi)(shi),還不(bu)曾生你哩!”
他放(fang)下心,日逐(zhu)(zhu)騰云(yun)駕(jia)霧,遨游四海,行(xing)樂千(qian)山。施武(wu)藝,遍訪英豪;弄神通,廣(guang)交賢友。此時(shi)又會了個七(qi)弟(di)兄,乃(nai)牛魔(mo)王、蛟魔(mo)王、鵬魔(mo)王、獅(shi)駝王、獼猴王、【犭禺】狨王,連自家美猴王七(qi)個。日逐(zhu)(zhu)講文論武(wu),走斝傳觴(shang),弦歌吹舞,朝去(qu)暮回(hui),無般兒不(bu)樂。把那個萬里(li)(li)之(zhi)遙,只當庭闈(wei)之(zhi)路,所謂點頭(tou)徑過三(san)千(qian)里(li)(li),扭腰八百有馀程。
一(yi)日,在(zai)本(ben)洞分付四健將安排筵宴,請六王赴飲(yin),殺牛宰(zai)馬,祭天(tian)享地,著(zhu)眾怪(guai)跳舞歡歌,俱(ju)吃得酩(ming)酊大(da)醉。送(song)六王出去,卻又賞(shang)勞大(da)小頭目,倚在(zai)鐵板(ban)橋邊松陰之(zhi)下(xia),霎時(shi)間(jian)睡著(zhu)。
