Chapter 358 The operating space has become larger(1/2)
Journey to the West World, on the Jilei Mountain.
After Wukong came out of seclusion, he saw that Lao Niu was not there, so he simply entered the secret room again and ordered the little demon to notify him when Lao Niu came back.
After he entered the secret room, his mind moved, and his soul consciousness came to the hall connecting all walks of life.
Then I entered the study room, picked up Journey to the West and started reading it.
About two days later, he finally finished reading the thick Journey to the West.
In other words, this book is a heavenly book that records the secrets of heaven, and cannot be scanned with divine thoughts. If it is an ordinary book, he can record everything by just scanning it.
But now he can only read and memorize word by word.
After reading the whole article, putting aside all kinds of conspiracy theories, it is actually Lingshan Buddhism who uses the five masters and apprentices to gain reputation and seize luck and opportunities.
Wukong, who finally finished reading the book, had many more ideas about what to do next.
Especially, he had many opinions on the second disciple of Tathagata, Jin Chanzi, who should have become his master in the original track, and Zhu Gangli, Sha Wujing.
"The Golden Cicadazi, Tathagata said in person: 'You were my two disciples in the previous life, and they were called Golden Cicadazi. Because you did not listen to the Dharma and insulted me, you criticized your true spirit for being reincarnated in the East Land.' It is said that you are being arrogant to Buddhism. In fact, there may be an unknown reason..."
He thought of this because he thought of the Jin Chanzi being demoted and reincarnated. He was reincarnated nine times and died of misfortune. Finally, he was reincarnated as Tang Monk in the tenth world and successfully obtained the scriptures.
As for how he died the previous nine times, Wukong guessed that they should be the nine monks who were eaten by Sha Monk by the Liusha River.
That's what Sha Seng said after seeing Guanyin Bodhisattva
"Bodhisattva, I eat countless people here. I have always eaten by people who come to the sutras several times. The heads of people who eat are thrown away from the quicksand and sink to the bottom of the water. The goose feathers cannot float, but only the nine skeletons of those who seek the sutras float on the surface of the water and can no longer sink. I thought that foreign objects would wear the Soul in one place and use them to play in my spare time."
These alone cannot be sure that the nine monks who seek scriptures are the ninth reincarnation of Jin Chanzi.
However, based on the full text information about Jin Chanzi and Tang Seng, to infer the time of their appearance, the probability will greatly increase.
Let’s first take a look at the time when Jin Chanzi and Sha Seng were demoted.
Sha Seng said that he accidentally broke the glass cup at the Peach Banquet, so he was demoted to the world.
But he didn't know Sun Wukong, the Monkey King who made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace.
When Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace in the original track, he hit the outside of Lingxiao Palace.
Although this is a drama, it is a very lively and annual drama.
Even if Sha Seng, who was a general of roller shutters, did not take action at that time, he would not have known Sun Wukong.
Then there are only two possibilities: one is that he lies, and the other is that he was demoted from the realm before Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
Lies can be excused first, because there is no need to lie on such irrelevant things.
When Zhu Gangli met Wukong, he said, "You guy who is in trouble with the Heavenly Palace has caused us a lot, and he didn't pretend to be unfaithful."
In the original track, Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, after the Peach Banquet, so Sha Seng should have been demoted from the world at that Peach Banquet.
Therefore, the time when Sha Seng was demoted was actually more than five hundred years.
The time when Jin Chanzi was demoted can be roughly seen from a description on the road to the west.
When the master and disciple passed by Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi happened to be invited by Yuqing Primitive Heavenly Lord to go to the Shangqing Tianmilu Palace to preach.
When he went there, he brought forty-six disciples. The second disciple of Mingyue specifically explained to Qingfeng who was left behind, "I will soon have an old friend passing by, but don't neglect him. But you can beat me two ginseng fruits and eat them to show your old feelings."
When the disciple learned that the master’s old friend was a monk who went to the West to worship Buddha and seek sutras, he said, “Confucius said: The way is different, and we do not plan for each other. We are Taiyi Xuanmen, how can we know that monk very much!”
Zhen Yuanzi explained, "The monk was reincarnated by Jin Chanzi and the second disciple of the Western Holy Old Tathagata. Five hundred years ago, I met him at the "Orchid Club". He once passed on tea with his own hands, and the Buddha's son respected me, so this is for an old friend."
From this we can infer that Jin Chanzi had not been demoted to the earth at least 500 years ago.
In other words, Jin Chanzi was demoted for less than 500 years, many years later than Sha Seng.
Therefore, Sha Seng was demoted to the realm and became a monster who lurked in the Liusha River and ate the nine very special Buddhists who were very likely to be the nine reincarnations of Jin Chanzi.
When Goku thought of this, he had more questions in his mind.
The first thing is Sha Wujing, who was the rolling curtain general next to the Jade Emperor before he was demoted.
Look at his own introduction: I am the supreme person in the South Heaven Gate, and I am the best in front of Lingxiao Palace. I will be the first to protect the enemy and follow the court to come and go.
Although this is bragging, it also shows that it is definitely not just a simple person who lifts the door curtain, but a character similar to a bodyguard.
Those who can be guards around the emperor must be trusted and trusted.
And that's it, Sha Wujing was demoted to the realm because she accidentally broke the glass cup.
Wukong thought, "Is this deliberately arranged a confidant to enter the Journey to the West? No, if the Jade Emperor deliberately arranged Sha Wujing to go down the world and acted like this, why would he suffer the pain of flying swords piercing every seven days? Even if Sha Wujing is not a confidant of the Jade Emperor, but just an ordinary god general, who is guilty of breaking the glass cup, he will be punished with such severe punishment as flying swords piercing the chest more than a hundred times every seven days..."
After Sha Wujing was demoted from the realm, he suffered more than a hundred times of flying swords piercing his chest every seven days, and it continued until hundreds of years later, the Tang Monk came to Liusha River.
This kind of sin can almost be described as life is worse than death.
You must know that Zhu Gangli teased Chang'e while drunk, almost knocking down Tianguanque, and was just demoted to the world.
Therefore, Sha Wujing suffered a sin that was obviously much heavier than the sin he committed.
As the Jade Emperor's close guard, why did the Jade Emperor sentence him to such a heavy punishment?
Wukong thought, feeling that there were really twists and turns everywhere, but it also made him think of a possibility.
He laughed, "It's interesting, the rolling curtain general around the Jade Emperor has probably already secretly surrendered to Lingshan Buddhism. After being noticed by the Jade Emperor, he found an excuse to demote the lower realm and still couldn't relieve his hatred. He also had to suffer hundreds of years of flying sword piercing his chest..."
This is not his random guess, but a clue seen from all the signs.
This also shows that the Jade Emperor was very helpless about the plan of Journey to the West.
Even though he wanted to cut the betrayed general of the roller blind to pieces, because he was the candidate of the Journey to the West selected by Lingshan, he could only torture him every seven days without killing him.
The same situation is similar. Pig Gangli.
Calculate the time, Zhu Gangli should have conquered Sun Wukong at the Tathagata. In order to express his gratitude, the Jade Emperor summoned all the immortals and gods in the heavenly court to thank the Buddha.
On the way west of the original track, Wukong met Zhu Gangli in Gaolaozhuang.
The old pig said that Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and caused them a lot of harm.
This sounds like Wukong makes trouble in the Heavenly Palace and makes them feel embarrassed these generals. In fact, the old pig, who was Marshal Tianpeng at that time, did not appear at all.
So actually what he meant was that if there was no farce in the Heavenly Palace, he would not have ended up like this.
Speaking of the five-player group of Journey to the West, the one who is most reluctant to go to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures is probably the old pig.
Along the way, I either cheated on my clothes or thought about splitting my luggage and parting my bags at any time.
Marshal Tianpeng is one of the four saints of the North Pole, and is at the same level as the original Zhenwu Emperor.
When Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, the other two of the Four Saints of the North Pole were sent by the Jade Emperor to invite Tathagata.
When the two of them arrived at Lingshan, Tathagata wanted to say, "Why did the Jade Emperor bother the two saints?"
Therefore, the status of the Four Saints of the Arctic is not low.
As the old pig is doing well, Marshal Tianpeng, how could he be willing to suffer the pain of Journey to the West?
Besides, in the end, I had to seal a purifying altar messenger, which was almost the same as sending a beggar.
But who told him to let him go wrong at the Antian Conference?
What is the occasion of the Antian Conference? It was the highest moment of Tathagata's light. The immortals and gods, including the Three Pure Ones and Four Emperors, all came to thank the Buddha.
This is the time when you are drunk and teasing Chang'e, and even causing trouble, it almost shocked the sky. If you are not unlucky, who is unlucky?
It just so happened that Laojun and the Jade Emperor also needed to arrange people to join the Journey to the West, and Laozhu was also considered a member of Laojun's group.
It is natural to throw the chore of Journey to him by punishing him for making mistakes.
The plan for Journey to the West is the result of discussions between all parties.
Letting the Heavenly Court arrange a person to enter is also a sense of participation.
The Jade Emperor was always the nominal master of the Three Realms, and he still had to take care of him in terms of face.
However, after the plan of Journey to the West was completed, only the most loyal Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong became Buddhas.
The other three were a messenger of the altar, a golden arhat, and an eight-departed celestial dragon.
Although everyone has a Bodhisattva fruit position in the title, anyone can see that the Tathagata is not concerned about these three people at all.
After all, Tang Sanzang was the reincarnation of the second disciple of Tathagata, and the Buddha's position must have been settled from the beginning.
Sun Wukong's position in Buddhism has a lot to do with him on strike halfway and playing the trick of the real and fake Monkey King.
He distinguished his obsession and rebelliousness, jumped up and down the entire Three Realms, and even took the opportunity to beat Tang Seng.
Finally, he got to the Tathagata, and Tathagata promised himself, "You also sit on the lotus platform." Only then did he be satisfied. He beat the last rebelliousness and bloody nature to death with a stick. He was honest and happily protected Tang Monk to obtain the scriptures in the West.
This true and false Monkey King drama is not only showing his presence, but also showing loyalty.
Because before this, Lingshan Buddhism actually didn't trust him so much.
He was always born in the Three Star Cave of the Shake Moon in Lingtai Mountain and was not a confidant of the Buddhist sect in Lingshan.
Although the Bodhi ancestor in the Sanxing Cave has a connection with Lingshan Buddhism, the path he took is different from that of Buddhism.
As the saying goes, if the Tao is different and does not plan for each other, Tathagata will definitely prevent the Bodhi Patriarch from using Sun Wukong to cause trouble.
So Sun Wukong actually did not gain the full trust of Buddhism.
