readx; Not to mention, after going through this hardship, the master and apprentice have gained a lot. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Jin Dan has become a golden pill in his body, and he has seen his true face, so he has to go back to see Li Shimin. It's hard to laugh and cry, but this number of difficulties has become the introduction to the road of achievement.

After the Tang monks got out, they rose with the Dharma Protector Vajra. But it was said that there were many people in the Chenjiazhuang Lifesaving Temple, and when the sky dawned, Tang Seng was gone. This one also came to ask, that one also came to find, all panicked, at a loss, and cried bitterly, "Qingqing put a living Buddha away!" In the future, there will be four major sacrifices and twenty-four small sacrifices every year. There are also those who are sick, security guards, begging relatives and making wishes, asking for wealth and children, all the time and day do not come to burn incense and sacrifice competitions, it is really a golden furnace that has been burning for thousands of years, and the jade lamp is always bright.

This is obvious, many people in Chenjiazhuang are still very utilitarian, and the main purpose of their belief in Buddhism is for various interests, but why not try to bless the fortune, no, the money obtained from human trafficking in the past is enough. Now that he has long been rich, he is not afraid of goblins coming to eat his children, so he can only ask the Buddha to bless him.

The author of Journey to the West is also merciful to the villagers here, with some praise and some depreciation. The author can't bear it, after all, there are many villagers, and there are many innocent people, so Wu Chengen and Li Chunfang both gave the people of Chenjiazhuang a chance to change.

Let's go back and analyze the white turtle in the Tongtian River, what does it imply, why does it want to know what it has become into a human form? Why did the author arrange such an ordinary seemingly ordinary underage monster to say something that is not painful at such a juncture?

It has been living for 1,300 years, and if you slowly cultivate, you can speak human language, so why is this urgent? It shows that the author has other intentions, which is to reflect a certain Ming Dynasty figure in the last place, and the official will definitely not be small. It is very likely that he was a cabinet assistant minister during the Longqing period.

In the forty-ninth chapter of Journey to the West, the goldfish spirit occupied the cave of this old turtle. Bai Yuan once said, "Great Sage, you don't know that the water turtle at the bottom is my dwelling, and my ancestors have left it to me since the ages. Because I realized the roots and cultivated the aura, I practiced here, and I turned over the ancestral house and set up a water turtle. The evil spirit was swept by the tsunami nine years ago, and he came here at the head of the tide, and fought with me with his ferocity, and he wounded many of my children and took away many of my families. I fought him, but he took the nest in vain. Today, the great sage came to rescue Master Tang, asked Guanyin Bodhisattva to sweep away the demonic atmosphere, collect the monsters, and return the first house to me. Now I am old and young, and I no longer have to suffer from the mud, but I have to live in the old house. This grace is as heavy as a hill and as deep as the sea. Therefore, he planned to send Tang monks and apprentices across the river.

But the monkey did not appreciate this seemingly kind white turtle very much, and began to say, "If I take you evil beast and go to the side, I will kill you with this stick!"

Later, Wukong knew that this monster was also well-intentioned, but he was still very protective of it, and even a little bullying. The walker stood in front of the horse, and fearing that the turtle would be rude, untied the tiger tendon and put it in the old turtle's nose, and pulled it up like a rein, but he put one foot on the cover, one foot on his head, one hand holding the iron rod, and the other hand pulling the reins, and shouted, "Old turtle, walk slowly, crooked, and take your head!"

Now, Tang Seng did not ask the Buddha by the way, and the holy monk cannot be blamed for this. Not to mention when an old Wang Ba turned over and became a man, he was reluctant to even give his own dinner guy to the Buddhist family.

The monkey also forgot some things, such as the rhinoceros horn obtained in Qingniu Mountain, saying that everyone shared it, and also prepared a gift for the Buddha as a greeting gift. But when I went to the West Heaven to ask for scriptures twice, I didn't take it out at all. Sure Wukong won't throw it halfway, so it can only mean that when he was in Jinping Mansion, he gave this treasure to the local people through Bajie.

Why don't the monkeys make offerings to Rulai, is it because the Buddhists don't pay attention to kindness and righteousness? No, the great sage is the beautiful monkey king with affection and righteousness, and the people are greater than the sky, and nature is much more important than the Buddha. Hehe, this Monkey King was Wukong first, and then he was empty, and he had no choice but to be a person in a robe.

He also said that the big white turtle, this old guy was very smart, and when he felt it, he came up viciously and put the master and apprentice into the water, without the meaning of gratitude back then. It shows that the reason why he was willing to send Tang Seng across the river at that time was actually to ask about his own achievements.

Tang Seng forgot to ask, but it also shows that the master and apprentice know that this old turtle is not a good stubble.

The author's attitude is also obvious, this old turtle should not be able to get out of his shell for the rest of his life, and he can't get a human body.

Judging from the foregoing, this white turtle is a reflection of Xu Jie, at least for now. Perhaps, when Mr. Wu first wrote Journey to the West, it was very likely that he did not write Xu Jie, but near the end of the book, how could Li Chunfang miss this character? When Xu Jie died, it was in 1583, a year after the death of Old Wu, and Old Man Wu was embarrassed to write about people who were still alive. Therefore, it is estimated that Lao Wu did not write Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng into it, but Li Chunfang made up for this shortcoming.

Then the book Journey to the West, everyone should be able to feel it. It was basically completed by Wu Chengen in 1582 (or before), and was finally revised and finalized by Li Chunfang in 1583-1585.

Xu Jie, hehe, his personality is really similar to this white turtle. Forbearance is extraordinary, and it is ruthless at a critical time, and it is good not to bite Tang Seng a few.

The history of the Ming Dynasty said, "Xu Jieli Dynasty has a degree of phase, and protects the good class." The politics of Jia and Long have been rescued by many people. There are occasional snakes, and there are no big festivals. To be diligent and diligent, the instrument is deep. Although the wisdom is counted, it must not lose its integrity. ”

But Lao Wu's attitude towards him, from the description in the book, can be seen that this person is not "not losing his integrity", but a real villain. However, Li Chunfang estimated that he revised some content to give face to Boss Xu Jie, and did not let the monkey be beaten to death with a stick.

If you want to say that Xu Jie has done any good things, it can be regarded as something. When he was young, he rehabilitated the people, destroyed the obscene shrine, created a township social study, and captured the Jiangyang thieves; eradicated Yan Song's father and son, rehabilitated the great etiquette, and dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Taoist Buddha. However, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty and later, many auxiliary ministers were engaged in various infighting, perfunctory emperors, and plundering of people's wealth, but Xu Jie started and set an example. Xu Jie always cared about himself, and there were no people in his heart, not even an emperor. According to the records of the wild history, this old guy retired and went home to invite people to dinner, and even the utensils for eating and drinking were gold, and as a result, he put it in his pocket. Xu Jie saw it, and he didn't say anything, and gave it to others generously. This story explains too much, Xu Jie and Li Linfu, the "famous minister" of the Tang Dynasty, are equal.

returned to the book, but said that the Eight King Kongs made the second burst of incense, sent him to the east in a day, and gradually saw Chang'an.

King Kong stopped in the air and shouted, "Holy monk, this is Chang'an City." It's not good for us to go down, there are people here, and I'm afraid of leaking my statue. The three Sun Dasheng will not disappear, and you will go and pass on the scriptures to your lord, even if you come back. I am waiting for you in the sky, and I will pay the decree with you. ”

Well, this, it seems that the gods of the Buddhist family can't appear in front of mortals, not only can they not go, but it's best not to go to the monkey Bajie Sha Seng quasi-Buddha immortals. Only the holy monk has no choice, he has to hand over the decree.

The Great Sage said, "Although His Holiness's words are appropriate, how can my master pick up the burden, how can he lead this horse, and I must send it away." I'm sorry to wait for you in the air, forgive me for not making a mistake. "King Kong Dao," the day before yesterday, Guanyin Bodhisattva enlightened as if it came, and the exchange was only on the eighth day, and the number of Tibetan was completed. It's been more than four days now, and I'm afraid that Bajie is greedy for wealth and will miss the deadline. Bajie said with a smile, "Master becomes a Buddha, and I also hope to become a Buddha, how can there be any reason to be greedy! The idiot carried the burden, the sand monk led the horse, and the walker led the holy monk, all pressed the cloud head and landed on the side of the prayer tower.

King Kong's attitude towards the Bajie sand monk is obviously disdainful. It can be deliberately seen from this, including Rulai, that the Buddhists have such a similar view of both of them.

Li Shimin happened to be there, so he briefly asked Tang Seng about some things, and then everyone returned to the Chang'an Palace.

However, it was said that the monks of Hongfu Temple, where the Tang monks of Chang'an used to live, saw a few pine trees with their heads facing east, and said in surprise, "Strange, strange! There has been no wind tonight, why have the heads of these trees turned around?" 'My master said the words of the Buddha, so I know it. ”

This content is Lao Wu's continuation of the writing style of his predecessors, and there is no special significance.

Tang Seng told the scriptures again, but he also told the difficulties of the Buddhist family when he arrived at Lingshan and asked for money. In the end, the customs clearance document was taken up, and Li Shimin read it.

Taizong said with a smile, "I have been working hard for a long time, and now I have been in Zhenguan for twenty-seven years. "There are the seals of Baoxiang State, Wuji Country, Chechi Country, Xiliang Women, Saisai Country, Zhuzi Country, Lion Camel Country, Bhikshu Country, and Extinction France Seal;

Some doubts arise here, that is, how can there be a lion camel seal? Why is it not the Qinfa seal? And there is also a lack of the Tongtaifu seal and the Tianzhu seal.

Wu Chengen should not make this mistake, and can only guess that many contents in Journey to the West have been deleted and changed by Li Chunfang, but they have not been corrected here.

Regarding the Lion Camel Country, it shows that Lao Wu and Li Chunfang have different views on Yan Song, perhaps Lao Wu did not write Yan Song as seriously, that is, it did not reach the point of harming the country; and Li Chunfang thought that Yan Song was indeed a traitor to the country, so he exaggerated his contents, leaving many mistakes. There are many contradictions in the description of the Lion Camel Ridge and many places in the country (including Lao Wu's feelings later), one is that Tang Seng's Guan Wen has the big seal of the Lion Camel Country, and the other is that the lion was a eunuch when he was in the Wuji Country, and he didn't look like a eunuch at all here. There is also the fact that it and Tang Seng and his apprentices should know each other, but they are all like the first time they met, forming an inexplicable mystery.

It is understandable that the king at that time had no time to change the seal, but he also suspected that Li Chunfang had made some changes.

In the last Tongtai Mansion, it is almost certain that the content of those two books was greatly revised by Lao Li and almost completely rewritten.

This seal of the Tianzhu Kingdom is also difficult to explain, and the seal of the king is clearly mentioned in the book. After pondering again and again, there was only one speculation. Lao Wu did not arrange for King Tianzhu to use the seal, but Li Chunfang thought that Wu Chengen had made a clerical error, so he added it, but in the end, he forgot to add it. Or Li Chunfang is also in it, making a lot of changes.

Why do we say that, because we know that Tianzhu actually refers to India in general. In 639-653 A.D., India was divided by many large and small countries, and it was impossible to have the universal seal of Tianzhu State.

There are also suspected traces of deletion and alteration in Journey to the West (Tang King Li Shimin went to the underworld and held a water and land conference), and the forty-fourth to forty-sixth chapters (Che Chi Guo, Tang monks and apprentices and three great immortals fighting methods). Maybe there's something else, but it's hard to see.

After the Tang monk and apprentice ate, they returned to Hongfu Temple, at this time Bajie did not shout tea and rice, nor did he make noise, and the walkers and sand monks were all steady. Only because the Tao is completed, it is naturally quiet. I slept that night.

The next day, Li Shimin wrote a poem and made a summary. Tang Seng also looked at it and asked Li Shimin to name it. Tang Taizong said that it was called "Holy Order", and said, "I am ashamed of my words." As for the internal canon, it is especially unheard of. The mouth occupies the narrative, and the honesty is clumsy. Filthy Han ink in the gold Jane, the standard rubble in the pearl forest. Be thoughtful and shy. It is not enough to say, thank you for your hard work. ”

The real master Xuanzang in history, in 628 A.D., that is, the second year of Zhenguan, traveled west to learn scriptures, and after returning in 645 A.D., Li Shimin asked him to translate Sanskrit scriptures in Chang'an Hongfu Temple. This holy order was in 648 A.D., that is, in July and August of the 22nd year of Zhenguan, a Buddhist scripture "The Treatise on the Land of Yogis" was translated and given to Li Shimin and Li Zhi. After Li Shimin read it, he quickly replied, and later this content was used as the "Tang Sanzang Holy Order".

Roughly translated, the yin and yang of heaven and earth change, stupid people have their own understanding, and smart people also have their own doubts. Buddhism reveres emptiness and advocates immortality, so many people flock to it. Buddhism and Taoism are vast and profound, but no one can touch the edge, nor do they know its roots. The world is changing, and when we study Buddhist scriptures, we will inevitably misunderstand and not be able to distinguish between good and evil. Buddhism also gave rise to sects in Middle-earth, especially the different understandings of the doctrines of Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism. Master Xuanzang understands the "three emptiness" and "four forbearance", and even reaches the realm of transcending the "six emptiness". He spent 17 years traveling to many Buddha places in the Western Regions, such as "Shuanglin", "Bashui", "Deer Garden", and "Eagle Peak". The master studied a lot of Buddhist teachings and collected 657 scriptures of the Three Tibets. So that the incomplete Buddha teachings are now comprehensive and have long-term significance. Even flowers and trees can be good, not to mention people, they have to work for the welfare of society. I hope that the master's Buddhist scriptures will be as long as the sun and the moon.

Of course, Li Shimin was also modest, saying that he was only a shallow learner, and he had not yet understood the content of your Buddhist scriptures. But since the master is full of fists, I will make do with it.

Li Shimin's literary style is very high, and his understanding of Buddhist scriptures and some Buddhist scriptures is not low. But there is also a problem, that is, Li Shimin does not know what the Buddhists think about "Huimu", so in his article, he actually said that "although the flowers and trees have no feelings, they can all be good." It is impossible for Buddhists to agree with this grass, wood, stone or something, and it is impossible for them to "become good and good".

Lao Wu made some slight changes to Li Shimin's article, such as writing 17 years to 14 years, and the number of Buddhist scriptures changed from 657 to 35 and 5,048 volumes.

Also, Tang Taizong planned to let Tang Seng preach the scriptures, but the monk said that he needed to find a Buddha land. So Xiao Yu jumped out again, "There is a wild goose pagoda temple in the city that is clean. Taizong also ordered the construction of a temple, in the east of the city, called the Yellow Temple, dedicated to copying scriptures.

Originally, Tang Seng was going to take the stage to chant the scriptures, but the Buddhas felt that time was running out, so they paused. "Whoever recites the scriptures, put down the scrolls and go back to the west with me. This master and apprentice even rose from the ground on a white horse, and Tang Seng couldn't care about chattering, so he hurried to the sky.

I really admire Lao Wu, it's really timely, and you have to damage the Buddhist family a few times when and where.

Besides, the Eight King Kongs took Tang Seng and others back to Lingshan, and they had to make up the auspicious number of 5048 days.

Tang Seng met Rulai, and the Buddha began to seal the official. Rulai said, "Holy monk, in your previous life, you were originally my second disciple, and your name was Jin Cicada. Because you don't hear the Dharma, you despise my great teachings, so you degrade your true spirit and are reborn in the eastern land. Today, I am happy to take refuge, hold on to my Jia, and take my teachings, take the true scriptures, and have great merits, and increase the positive results of the great position, and you are the Buddha of Zhantan merit. Sun Wukong, you are in the heavenly palace because of the trouble, I use very deep mana, pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, fortunately the natural disaster is satisfied, returned to the Buddha, and like you to hide the evil and promote the good, on the way to refine the demon and subdue the monster meritorious, the whole end is the beginning, the promotion of the great job is the right result, you are fighting to defeat the Buddha. Pig Wu Neng, Ru Ben Tianhe Water God, Marshal Tianpeng, for Ru Pan Tao will be drunk and played Xian'e, degraded your lower realm reincarnation, like an animal, fortunately Ru Ji lover body, in Fuling Mountain Yunzhan Cave to create evil, happy to return to the Great Sect, into my Shamen, protect the holy monk on the road, but there is stubbornness, pornography is not lost, because you have the merit of shouldering, you are promoted to the right fruit, do the messenger of the altar. ”

Bajie shouted, "They have all become Buddhas, how can they make me a messenger of the Pure Altar?" Covering the four continents of the world, there are many people who worship our religion, all the Buddhist things, teaching Ru Jing Altar, is a useful grade, how is it not good! Sha Wujing, you are a rolling shutter general, first because the peach will break the glass cup, degrade your lower realm, you fall in the quicksand river, hurt the life and eat man-made evil, fortunately converted to my religion, sincerely respect the Jiazhi, protect the holy monks, climb the mountain and lead the horse, and promote the great job is the right fruit, for the golden body Arhat. "Also called the white horse," you were originally the son of the dragon king of the Western Sea Guangjin, because you disobeyed your father's orders, committed the crime of unfilial piety, fortunately converted to the Dharma, converted to my Shamen, every day the family owes you to carry the holy monk to the west, and you carry the Bible to the east, and also has meritorious, plus the promotion of your position is the right fruit, for the eight heavenly dragon horses. ”

If you come, you will make a summary of Tang Seng's life experience and business, and seal the Buddha seats.

The jade dragon arrived at the Lingshan back cliff into the dragon pool, that is, the fur was withdrawn, the head horns were changed, the golden scales grew on the body, the silver beard was born under the cheeks, a body of rui, four claws and auspicious clouds, flew out of the dragon pool, coiled in the mountain gate on the optimus pillar, the Buddhas praised the **.

Well, this, in fact, the real Huabiao pillar should be placed near the emperor's palace. For example, Beijing **, or the Ming Ming Tombs. Huabiao pillars are generally dedicated to China and are totem worship.

During the Ming Dynasty, it was called Optimus Prime. History, **, Ming Ming Tombs each have four white marble tables, by the Sumeru pillar base, the pillar body and the bearing dew plate composition, cloud stone pillar, coiled a Chinese dragon, the top of the horizontal wings are flower-shaped, and then above is a round dew plate, there is a squatting beast on the plate, the name "Wangtian". In the Qing Dynasty, it was changed, no need to "look at the sky", but carved a lotus vase or something.

Huabiao originated in the Yaoshun period, which was to erect a wooden sign on the road for people to write advice on it. It was first called "slander wood", which was used as a guidepost to comment on current affairs and was civilian.

In the Han Dynasty, it was renamed "Huabiaomu", which is basically a road sign.

Later, it was gradually used on solemn occasions, especially for emperors.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was generally carved on the "looking at the sky" beasts. Most of them are similar to the appearance of golden retrievers, with the head of the beast facing north, which means "looking at the king", which is to let the emperor come out to eliminate disasters for the people;

In the Ming Dynasty, not only the Huabiao wooden tablet has "looking at the sky", but even the eaves on the palace are also placed a lot, and the meaning is almost the same. The Ming Dynasty attached great importance to this "heaven-looking" beast, hoping that the emperor could take it as a warning. Let the emperor often look up and remind himself to put the people first and be pro-government and govern the country. Of course, many emperors of the Ming Dynasty later forgot Zhu Yuanzhang's hard work.

Old Man Wu arranged the jade dragon in Lingshan, or in the image of the authentic Chinese little white dragon, and it was also coiled on the Huabiao, which is a great irony for the Buddhists!

At the same time, Lao Wu was also reminding Emperor Wanli to be vigilant! However, Emperor Wanli didn't care about this at all, perhaps, he had never watched "Journey to the West".

Wukong said to Tang Seng again, at this time I have become a Buddha, like you, take advantage of the morning to recite a loose hoop mantra, take it off, and smash it, don't let that Bodhisattva play tricks on others again.

Through the mouth of the monkey, the persuasion of Buddhism to take refuge was vividly exposed.

Tang Seng said, "At that time, it was only difficult for you to manage, so this method was used to make it." Now that you have become a Buddha, you will naturally go to it, how can there be any reason that is still on your head! The walker raised his hand to touch it, and sure enough, there was nothing.

Wukong became a Buddha, and naturally the hoops disappeared. But Tang Seng's words are mysterious. Although the holy monk has made great progress along the way, he has never been so much like an enlightened monk, why?

At this time, the Zhantan Buddha, the Fighting Buddha, the Pure Altar Messenger, and the Golden Arhat all have the right position, and the Tianlong Horse has also returned to its true nature. There is a poem as evidence, "One body is really like turning into dust, and the harmony of the four phases is restored." The five elements are empty and lonely, and there is always no need to talk about a hundred strange and false names. Zhengguo Zhan Tan took refuge in the great awakening, and completed the quality and sank down. It is rumored that the world is blessed and broad, and the five saints are the only one. ”

At this time, the Five Holy Fruits, many Buddhist figures gathered together and came to join in the fun.

The public took refuge in the palm of their hands, and the ancient Buddha was not lit in the south...... (plus Tang monk Wukong, a total of 36 Buddhas, such as the third place), Nan no Guanyin Bodhisattva. There is no great trend to the Bodhisattva in the south. Nam no Manjushri. There is no Bodhisattva in the south. There are no pure sea bodhisattvas in the south. Nan no lotus pond sea will be Buddha and Bodhisattva. There are no bodhisattvas in the south and the west heavens and bliss. There are no three thousand great bodhisattvas in the south. There are no five hundred Aro Bodhisattvas in the south. Nan Bu Mo Qiu Yi Seni Bodhisattva. There is no boundless and immeasurable Dharma Bodhisattva in the south. Nam no Vajra Master Holy Bodhisattva. Nan no Pure Altar Messenger Bodhisattva. Nan Wu Eight Treasures Golden Body Arhat Bodhisattva. Nan no Eight Heavenly Dragons Guangli Bodhisattva.

And so on all the Buddhas of the world. May with this merit be solemnized in the Pure Land of the Buddha. Report the fourfold grace, and the three hardships of the next aid. If there is a person who has seen or heard, he has developed bodhichitta. Born in the Elysium together, repay this body. All the Buddhas of the Ten Directions, all the Bodhisattvas Mahasattva, Mahaprajnaparamita.

Finally, there is a rehearsal of the order of the Buddhas, and at the end it is said that only if you have bodhichitta can you reach the land of bliss. Moreover, all the Buddhas of the Ten Directions and the Third World have great wisdom and merit (supreme enlightenment).

Then this last statement is obviously born out of the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra. Then this multi-heart sutra, we also mentioned earlier.

Here is also a small novel method, that is, this Heart Sutra is actually a short and concise Buddhist scripture translated by the real Master Xuanzang in history after returning to China after completing his studies. It is also a Buddhist scripture that has a great influence on the spread of Buddhism in China, and its original intention is to solve the suffering and hardship faced by people.

This is the end of "Journey to the West".

The feeling of abrupt stop couldn't help but come out. What kind of ending is this Lao Wu, many of them are still inexplicable, how can it be over. Why didn't Tang Seng Wukong and others make some inaugural speeches or something, hehe, a joke. However, it does make people feel that this ending is a bit sloppy, and it is a bit "unfinished".

"Returning to the Eastern Soil" is naturally true, and the Five Saints have become true, but what is this truth?

So Wu Chengen's version of the Journey to the West, let's finish talking about its main contents. But then, we have to continue to analyze some of the secrets in the book, so please listen to the nonsense next time.
