Seeing Hu Zhen who turned into a monkey, Liu Juan didn't know what to say for a moment.
However, when he read some stories about the real and fake Monkey King events, it was not the six-eared macaque that was killed, but the Monkey King Sun Wukong:
[Looking at the fifty-seventh chapter of "Journey to the West", it is said that the "six-eared macaque" turned into a replica of Sun Wukong, injured Tang Monk, and then fought with Sun Wukong... Needless to say, the strength of this fake Sun Wukong
, is the same as the real Sun Wukong. He fought against Sun Wukong and went to heaven and into the sea. In Tang Monk's place: reciting the tightening curse, both of them cried out in pain, so naturally it was impossible to tell which one was true or false; in the Heavenly Palace: dragging the tower and holding the demon mirror to look at it, it was also
I couldn't see it; I went to Guanyin again: Guanyin couldn't see it either; finally I went to Yama in the netherworld: after listening to it, he said: "I can see it, but I dare not say it."
In the end, Tathagata Buddha revealed his true body with six ears and covered it with a golden bowl, only to be beaten to death by Sun Wukong with a stick.
This is the whole story. It seems very simple and complete, but I found a huge foreshadowing.
Let’s first assume that the one who was killed is Wukong, and the one who is alive is the six-eared macaque. I am not talking nonsense, it makes sense. Here are some of my theories:
1. The six-eared macaque is exactly the same as Sun Wukong. No one can tell. Even if Tathagata deceives everyone and says that the six-eared macaque is the real Wukong, and this lie, only Tathagata knows the truth. The real Sun Wukong is just a mute eating coptis.
Second, the six-eared macaque is most likely a shill arranged by Tathagata. Everyone knows that Sun Wukong is a rebel, and Tathagata is the supreme ruler of the Western Heaven. Which ruler would allow a rebel to live in this world? In addition,
As we all know, Sun Wukong has always disrespected Tathagata. So Tathagata will try every means to eliminate Sun Wukong. Of course, he cannot kill Sun Wukong directly, so an identical Wukong appears and kills Sun Wukong invisibly. And there is evidence for this.
1: For example, in the underworld, after "True Ting" heard it, "True Ting" knew the truth and falsehood, but did not dare to say it. His idea was definitely not because he was afraid that the two Wukongs would cause trouble in the underworld, but because this six-eared macaque had a very powerful power.
Behind the scenes, that is Tathagata. Therefore, "Ting Ting" naturally does not dare to tell the truth.
2: Secondly, there is another reason that can prove that "Ting Listen" is not really afraid of the two monkeys causing trouble in the underworld. Everyone knows that there was a person with strong magic power present at the time. Of course, it was not Yama. Yama was compared with this person.
, there is a world of difference. This person is "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva". Who is "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva"? He is the first of the four major Bodhisattvas in Buddhism, as famous as Guanyin, Manjusri and Samantabhadra. It can be seen that this person is powerful. Since there is
With such a powerful Buddhist disciple here, is it possible that "True Ting" is still worried that these two monkeys will cause trouble in the underworld?
Third, everyone knows that Sun Wukong’s master is the “Bodhi Patriarch”. Who is the “Bodhi Patriarch”? There is a clue in the “Feng Shen Bang” that he is the disciple of “Hun Kun Patriarch”, and coincidentally, “Hun Kun Patriarch” has countless disciples.
And his two most proud disciples are Tathagata (also known as "Taoist Jie Yin") and Patriarch Bodhi (also known as "Taoist Zhunti")...
A bold idea. Since the two saints are brothers of the same school, and it was briefly mentioned in "The List of Gods", it is said that the second disciple Zundi Taoist (that is, the Bodhi Patriarch) did not know what happened between him and the Taoist Tathagata (Tathagata).
Something happened, but he disappeared mysteriously and was never seen again. This is a very strong clue, proving that there is a conflict between the two.
Then back to Sun Wukong, and Sun Wukong happens to be the disciple of Patriarch Bodhi. When Tathagata sees the disciple of his former enemy, who has earth-shaking abilities, how long will it take to get rid of him without trying to find any way?
Fourth, Journey to the West tells the story of Sun Wukong who acquired magical powers after learning a spell from Master Bodhi. But coincidentally, the six-eared macaque pretending to be Sun Wukong also had exactly the same spells as Sun Wukong, and even his appearance and voice were exactly the same? This
Is it a coincidence? Everyone knows that Sun Wukong has only learned 72 transformations and somersault clouds for several years. It is impossible for the six-eared macaque to be born with this skill without learning, right? There must be guidance from experts who come from the same school as Sun Wukong. Natural Bodhi
The Patriarch will not be included here, because since the old man has such a loving and righteous disciple like Sun Wukong, why should he still create a six-eared macaque to fight against Sun Wukong? Therefore, there is only one person who can teach the six-eared macaque to fight against Sun Wukong.
Man, that is Patriarch Bodhi’s fellow disciple, Tathagata.
Fifth, return to Chapter 58 of "Journey to the West". It is said that the two monkeys came here to fight with the Tathagata and asked the Tathagata to decide whether it was true or false... but the Tathagata said to the Buddhas: "I see that the false Wukong is a six-eared macaque.
.If this monkey stands alone, it can know things thousands of miles away. It can also be understood by ordinary people when they speak. Therefore, it is good at listening to sounds, can understand, know the front and back, and everything is clear. The six-eared macaque has the same image and the same sound as Zhen Wukong.
”.
After Tathagata said this, all the Buddhas knew that there was one among all living beings in the world named "Six-eared Macaque". However, readers of Journey to the West ignored a clue in Tathagata's words: What Tathagata said was:
, this monkey is different from Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong is a "Lingming Stone Monkey", which can change, know the time of the sky, know the location, and move the stars to change the fight. The six-eared macaque "knows the front and back, everything is clear". It's amazing, it actually knows the past.
and everything that happens in the future. This is a big flaw!!! Since the six-eared macaque knows that in the future he will be subdued by Tathagata and beaten to death by Sun Wukong with a stick, why does he still go to Tathagata with Sun Wukong to argue the truth?
Isn't that asking for trouble? So there is only one possibility. Tathagata had arranged things well, and with his explanation, all the Buddhas thought that the six-eared macaque was the "true Wukong", but the real Wukong was regarded as
The "six-eared macaque" was subdued by Tathagata and then beaten to death with a stick.
And when the "six-eared macaque" was beaten to death, Tathagata, who was always compassionate, did not mean to blame him at all. He just put his hands together and said: "Good, good!"... Everyone knows that with Tathagata's ability
, when "Sun Wukong" wants to kill the "six-eared macaque" with a stick, how easy it is for Tathagata to come to the rescue. It can be seen that Tathagata's original intention is to let him die. And the "six-eared macaque" is not that big at all.
His crime was that he had a big quarrel with Sun Wukong. Why did Tathagata, who had always been compassionate, let him die? Think back to the time when Sun Wukong caused trouble in the Dragon Palace, the underworld, and the heavenly palace, and Tathagata didn't let him die yet. How could "Six
Why must he die for such a small mistake as "Eared Macaque"? There must be a hidden secret here. So the hidden secret is that the person Tathagata really wanted to execute was Sun Wukong, but the one who was beaten to death with a stick happened to be the real Sun Wukong.
Sixth, everyone would think that Sun Wukong had already had his name deleted from the Book of Life and Death, and had eaten so many peaches and elixirs that he would have been immortal long ago and had an indestructible body. How could he be killed so easily?
Perhaps only Tathagata himself knows this. You can imagine that since Tathagata had the ability to suppress Sun Wukong at the Five Elements Mountain, although he could not kill Sun Wukong, he certainly had a way to make Sun Wukong disappear forever.
Seventh, we return to Sun Wukong’s master "Bodhi Patriarch". It is recorded in Journey to the West that after Sun Wukong caused a lot of trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he had to follow Monk Tang to learn Buddhist scriptures from the West. When he encountered difficulties, he went back to find his master "Bodhi Patriarch".
"At that time, "Bodhi Patriarch" had already disappeared. He only talked to Sun Wukong through the air without seeing him. Why is this? Presumably, after Sun Wukong used the skills taught by "Bodhi Patriarch" to cause trouble in the heaven, the Tathagata must have noticed it.
You will find that these seventy-two transformations and somersault cloud are exactly the same magic. As I said just now, Patriarch Bodhi and Tathagata had some conflicts, and later Patriarch Bodhi lived in seclusion. If Tathagata saw Sun Wukong's ability, he would definitely know this
The skill must have been acquired by Patriarch Bodhi, so he naturally wanted to pursue this long-lost enemy. Therefore, after Patriarch Bodhi learned that Sun Wukong was causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace, in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, he disappeared without a trace...
And then again, Patriarch Bodhi’s ability is no less than that of Tathagata. This can be seen from the eighth chapter of "Journey to the West"... There is a passage in which the Tathagata said: "I, who live in Hezhou, Xiniu, will neither be greedy nor kill, and nourish my energy.
"The latent spirit, although it is supremely true, everyone has a long life." Everyone noticed that the Tathagata said, "Xiniu Hezhou, although it is supremely true," this just shows that Bodhi can escape the eyes of Tathagata when he preaches in Xiniu Hezhou, and it shows that Bodhi is not
For example, on a business trip.
8. Have you noticed that before the real and fake Monkey King incident, Sun Wukong did not always listen to Tang Seng's words. Sometimes, he even had small conflicts, which caused Tang Seng to have to recite the tightening curse, a typical image of a rebel. But since
After the incident of the real and fake Monkey King, Sun Wukong protected Tang Monk from now on. From this incident, it can be seen that Sun Wukong can be two different people. It cannot be ruled out that Sun Wukong has been used by Tathagata to use the six-eared macaque to fight An Jing.
Jing, subdued without anyone knowing.]
Liu Juan thought that if Tathagata could play this trick, would the little devil also play this trick?
Kill yourself, let this Hu Zhen replace you, gain your own ability to travel through time and space, get the fruit of life or something else...
He still had a life-saving hair, and he could die once more, but this fake monkey would never let him live. Liu Juan knew that this time, the real crisis was coming.
