Chapter 722: Small Talk

From this person's personal experience to the creation of the entire "Journey to the West", there is a strong Buddhist atmosphere at all times, but while praising Buddhist thoughts, the author himself still has a certain awe of local Taoism in terms of plot arrangement.

For example, the question of Taishang Laojun. Is Lao Jun subservient to the Jade Emperor? A lot of understanding is, but, in fact, this is not the case, in the Taoist system, the Jade Emperor is the greatest divine power, however, his level is not the highest, the Jade Emperor itself is compared with the Sanqing Dao Ancestor, there is still a difference of 108,000 miles, to say that the Jade Emperor is the emperor of the sky, then the Sanqing is the saint of the sky, the relationship is very complicated, it is not clear, in the most vivid and simple words, the Sanqing Dao Ancestor, is the manifestation of the Pangu God, is the creator of the world, and the Jade Emperor, is the maintenance of the established order, He is a manager, or rather, he is exercising divine power as the agent of the Sanqing Dao Ancestor, whether Wu Chengen understands this truth or not, we don't know, but at least we have to understand.

But even if he doesn't understand, in the novel of "Journey to the West", Taoists still have a few awesome people who have to be mentioned, first of all, Lao Tzu, who has appeared more times and is the most controversial, that is, Taishang Laojun, some people say that he is not strong, but, I think, this person is also the top character in the world of Journey to the West, for many reasons.

First of all, Wukong made a big fuss in the heavenly palace, tossed to death and lived, his own ability is great, this is one of them, his master is awesome, secretly protect him, this is the second, when the sky is dark, the sun and the moon are dark, three people have subdued him, first of all, the first time he was arrested, many people put their merits on Erlang God, and some people said that Yang Jian's ability is greater than Wukong, if you want me to say, this is completely nonsense, Erlang God's ability, and Wukong is between the two, how did Wukong let people catch him? Obviously, Taishang Laojun was in a hurry, and he took the diamond bracelet to help Erlang God. If this is not awesome, you can see some clues about the green cow that appeared later, that old cow, that is what Lao Tzu rode when he went out of the customs, there is a way and mana, and the circle in his hand is even more incomprehensible. I remember, Wukong didn't have a call to invite Rulai, Rulai calculated, sent an Arhat to go with Wukong, and the Arhat said: "If you come to pay me two, the demon is powerful, if you lose the golden dansha, you will teach Sun Wukong to go to the palace to find his traces, and you can catch him with a drum." The result? Eighteen golden dansha was thrown down, and was immediately taken away by the old cow, at this time, Shangli hated the sky to find the Taishang Laojun, and the old man went there and took the cow away with a smile.

At this time, there is a question, if you can pinch it will be considered such a great ability, knowing that your eighteen golden dansha can't subdue the old cow, why do you still spend so much effort to meat buns and beat dogs? The reason is very simple, this, one is the Buddha, the other is the Taoist, the ability and influence of the two are between the two of them, Wukong is a member of the Buddhist family, let Wukong stare at the devil, why don't people care about you? So the Buddha with supreme wisdom took out eighteen golden dansha as a meeting gift and deliberately gave it to the green cow, which means to sue sรน Laojun, big brother, you can almost get the money to do things, and I am not easy, this is an obvious thing, if you don't believe it, you can turn the book yourself.

In addition to Lao Jun, there are two awesome people in Taoism, one is the Bodhi Patriarch, not to mention this person, recognized as a top master, according to legend, is one of the five most awesome heavenly saints in the "Fengshen" system, the second leader of the Western Sect, and the Western quasi-Taoist people. In the book "Journey to the West", his identity can explain many doubts, among them, the biggest doubt is the problem of Wukong's name, you know, the word Wukong, it is clearly the name of the Buddha, in the case of not being squeezed by the door, no Taoist priest will give such a name to the apprentice, but Bodhi Patriarch is such a powerful person, he gave Wukong such a name, why? Because the Bodhi Patriarch himself is a double master of two schools, you can see his name, "Bodhi".

What is "Bodhi"? "Bodhi" is not a common word in Chinese, it is a transliteration, it is an exclusive noun of Buddhism, when "wisdom" and "enlightenment" are spoken, which Taoist priest named himself like this? In that plane, there are people who can do this kind of thing alone, and some people feel that the face of the quasi-Taoist is not high enough, so they say, Bodhi Patriarch is not a quasi-Taoist person, but a person from the same plane as Hongjun Ancestor, maybe it is Hongjun Ancestor's brother or something, for this kind of person, I just want to say, go to your third uncle and grandfather's bar, how far can you die, give me how far I die.

Let's talk about the third Taoist, this person, is Zhen Yuanzi, is the one who planted the ginseng fruit, the predecessor of the Sanzang Master, the golden cicada has a friendship with him, when Sanzang came, he knew that it was an old friend who came, so he asked the apprentice to pick the ginseng fruit to entertain, at this time, there is a detail, many people know that he has something to go, what to do but few people pay attention, according to the book, he, is to listen to the class, who to listen to? Yuan Shi Tianzun.

Zhen Yuanzi's ability is very big, in the whole book, there are very few people who can fight with Wukong and not fall behind, he is one of them, from this point of view, Yuan Shi Tianzun's ability must be thought of high, not to mention that it is not necessarily not necessarily, in the Taoist system, the cultivation of the realm is very important, and you can't do Da Luo Jin Xian in the awesome earth immortal, that's the truth. Some people will say, don't talk about it, Zhen Yuanzi is very powerful, but it's not as good as Guanyin, why? The first reason is that Wukong is afraid of Guanyin and is not afraid of him. The second reason is that the ginseng fruit tree died, and he couldn't save it, but Guanyin could.

Actually, it's not a problem, the first question, Guanyin is very awesome, but, where does it say that Guanyin can subdue Wukong? What can subdue Wukong is the Tightening Mantra, so how did the golden hoop be worn? It was put on by tricking Wukong, not forcefully put it on, so the reason may not be valid.

Reason two, this is simpler, Zhen Yuanzi is angry and wants to beat Wukong, at this time he must be exaggerating the severity of the problem, for example, a child crashes your computer, you want to beat him, will you restart it and embarrass him in front of everyone? It's the same, and those who don't lack eyes won't.
