Chapter 41: The Great Sage Destroys the Three Evils and the Eight Precepts to Clear the Pollution
After saying that, Tang Seng left the fake Leiyin Temple and continued on the road. After walking for a month, I saw several gardens that were green and dark, and it was dusk after a storm.
It was getting dark, and the master was worried that there was nowhere to stay, so the monkey pretended to say that he would just build a hut here. Bajie said very inexplicable words at this time, "Brother, this place, how can it be a residence! There are many tigers, leopards, wolves and insects all over the mountain, and there are ghosts and ghosts everywhere." It's still difficult to walk in the daytime, how dare you sleep in the night?"
Judging from the book, this place is still thirty miles away from the Seven Peerless Mountains, and there are mountain villages nearby, and this noble place, the terrain is clear, and many families live, not to mention the remote place. Where did the tigers, leopards, wolves, insects, and ghosts come from now? It seems that Lao Wu is foreshadowing again.
Of course, Wukong is not afraid of any little monsters, and later several people came to a mountain villa and went to spend the night. Tang Seng knocked on the door and told the elder that it was difficult to walk in front of this place, and there was a seven-peer mountain and a persimmon alley. Because this mountain is 800 miles, the mountain is full of persimmon trees with fruits. The ancient cloud persimmon tree has seven uniques, one longevity, two more yin, three no bird's nest, four no insects, five frost leaves can be played, six Jiashi, seven branches and leaves are hypertrophied, so it is called seven unique mountains.
There must be something strange about this Seven Peerless Mountain, according to Lao Wu's set, maybe what miles are being arranged.
The old man went on to explain why it was difficult to walk, and the road was filled with rotten persimmons, and the mold turned into a foul smell. Sanzang was bored and silent, and the walker couldn't help it, shouting Old man, who are you scaring about?
When the old man saw that he looked ugly, he stiffened his courage, snorted, and said with a quinoa cane, "You guy, you have a bony face, a kowtow forehead, a collapsed nose, a sunken cheek, hairy eyes, a tuberculosis ghost, I don't know how high or low, you have a pointed mouth, you dare to come and bump into my old man!"
Hey, this old man is guts, I guess this is also a hidden character, and the official will not be small.
The walker laughed and said, don't judge people by their appearance, I'm amazing. The ancestral home is Dongsheng Dashenzhou, and he has been cultivating since he was a child in front of Huaguo Mountain. Worship the ancestor of the Lingtai Fangcun, and learn martial arts for a full week. It can also stir up the sea and descend the dragon mother, and the good will take the mountain to catch the sun. Binding monsters and catching demons is called the first, and moving stars for fighting ghosts and gods is worried. Stealing the world and becoming famous, I am a beautiful stone monkey with infinite changes!
At first glance, there is nothing strange about this poem, it is just some of the experiences of monkeys. However, worshipping Fang Cunzu on the Lingtai platform, this sentence is problematic. More than 500 years ago, Patriarch Subodhi did not allow Wukong to mention it, so why did the monkey say it in front of the old man now? This actually tells us that Wukong has already separated from Patriarch Subodhi, but he can't break up.
When the old man heard that the monkey might be really capable, he was happy, and let Tang Seng have a full meal. Bajie pulled the back of the walker, "Senior brother, this old man refused to stay overnight at the beginning, and now he is back to set up this shengzhai, why not?" The walker said, "How much can this be worth! Tomorrow, he will send us ten fruits and ten vegetables!" Bajie still doesn't believe it, but the monkey already has his own idea, and there will be a request for help under the courtesy.
After eating, the walker bowed down and asked, "Father-in-law's surname?" the old man said, "The surname is Li, this place is called Huoluozhuang, and there are more than 500 families living in total." There are many other surnames, but my surname is Li. ”
Hmm, it turns out that this implied Ming Dynasty official is likely to be surnamed Li.
Sure enough, the old man Li wanted the monkey to catch the monster, so the walker sang upwards, "Take care of it!" Bajie pouted, the monkey was going to show off. Tang Seng also has an opinion, why doesn't anyone take care of his master? Sha Seng thought to himself, Brother Monkey, you can do whatever you want, get used to it.
The old man said that three years ago, a monster ate the cattle and horses grazing, the pigs and sheep, saw the chickens and geese swallowing, and the men and women swallowed alive. Later, I became addicted to eating and became a regular customer.
The walker said, "This is hard to take." ”
Bajie said, "It's really hard to take, it's hard to take! We are foot monks, spend the night, walk tomorrow, and take what goblins!" Don't look at the old pig now as blaming the monkey, but he has already regarded Wukong as his own relative, so he speaks very casually.
The old man thought that it was a monk who cheated on food! Well, it seems that there are really a lot of monks who cheat on food.
What Wukong said below is a bit mysterious. The walker said, "Old man, the goblin is easy to take." It's just that your side is not aligned, so it's hard to take. ”
Old man Li hurriedly explained, and it was quite concerted, every household paid money, and the year before last he invited a monk from Shannan to take the demon, and the result was - that Sangha, wearing a collared robe. Let's talk about "Peacock" first, and then read "Lotus Flower". In the incense burner, hold the bell in your hand. Just thinking about it, alarming the demons. The wind rises and goes to the dealer. The monk and the monster fight, in fact, can be boasted, one hand and one punch, one hand and one grasp. The monk also correspondingly, correspondingly without hair. The monster wins, and goes straight back to the smoke, and it turns out that the scar is dry. I waited to look closer, and the bald head looked like a rotten watermelon!
This is not over, the monk is dead or we are at a loss. and he bought him a coffin for burial, and gave him some money with his apprentices. That apprentice's heart is still not resting, and he still has to sue to this day, and he can't be clean!
This large section of the description undoubtedly reveals Lao Wu's attitude towards Buddhism, can it be said that Old Man Wu worships Buddhism? !
The walker said, "Who have you asked to take him?" the old man said, and invited another Taoist priest in the old year. The Taoist priest wore a golden crown and a dharma robe. The token rings, and the water is applied. Exorcise the gods and detain the demons. The wind is blowing, and the black fog is foggy. That is, with the Taoist priest, the two hold each other. Fight until the end of the night, and the monster will return to the clouds. The sky is clear and clear, and we are waiting for everyone. He came out to seek the priest, and his hand died in the mountain stream. It can be caught for everyone to see, but it is like a chicken in soup!
Although we also suffered losses, the old way only gave up one life, and we made us bored to count money and food.
When I read this paragraph again, I understood more clearly that Lao Wu didn't believe it. Moreover, the opinion on Buddhism is greater than that of Taoism, which leaves a little face for Taoism.
The monkey volunteered to catch the demon, but because the old man had learned from the past, he saw that Wukong was also a monk, so he had an extra heart and had to write a document. If you win, give thanks as much money as you want, and if you have a loss, do not let us go, but let each one obey the destiny of heaven.
Wukong didn't care, which shows that the monkey is not interested in Buddhism at all, and he wants to be a big hermit in Buddhism.
Old man Li invited the neighbors and said that the demon was in good spirits and in bad spirits. It seems that this monster also reflects a fairly powerful eunuch in the Ming Dynasty.
The walker said, "Why do you want to say what you want to thank! As the saying goes, gold is a disguise, silver is stupid, and copper coins are fishy! We are monks who accumulate virtue, and we never want money." ”
Although Lao Wu is dissatisfied with Buddhism, he still respects the monks who really accumulate virtue, but the monks who do not love money are only a few after all.
These old men are determined to get rid of demons, and since they don't want money, I'll give you land to build temples. Wukong also smiled and refused, I am a monk, but it is just a tea and a meal, and I am grateful.
At this time, I could only hear the whirring wind, and the old man panicked, and said tremblingly, "This monk is salty!
It seems that the powerful official eunuch of the Ming Dynasty is not small, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are afraid. It must be related to the three factories and one bathroom, the three factories are the east factory, the west factory, and the inner factory, and the first bathroom is the Jinyi Guard.
The eight precepts will also go in, and the sand monk will also go in. But the monkey stopped it, let's go see what monsters.
Wukong ignored Bajie's laziness and Sha Seng's timidity, so he slipped out of the two of them.
When the limelight passed, he saw two faint lamps in the air, and he bowed his head and shouted, "Brothers, the wind has passed, get up and look!" The idiot pulled out his mouth, shook the dust, looked up at the sky, and saw that there were two lights, and suddenly laughed and said, "Good trick, good trick! It turned out to be a goblin with good deeds! You should be friends with him!" Sha Seng said, "In such a dark night, and you have never met face to face, how can you know what is good or bad?" Bajie Dao, "The ancients said, the night walk is candles, and there are no candles. You see him playing a pair of lanterns to lead the way, it must be a good one. Sha Seng said, "You are mistaken, it is not a pair of lanterns, it is the two eyes of the goblin." The idiot bluffed three inches shorter, and said, "Grandpa! The eyes are so big, I don't know how many miles there are in the mouth!"
To be honest, let's look at Lao Wu's description, it's called expressive. This Journey to the West is written, and from this point of view, other books are too far behind. Lao Wu was greatly influenced by the great poet Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty.
Goku jumps into the air and asks where the yokai came from. I don't want that monster to not speak, it's just that the old god is dancing a spear. Youkai is also quite powerful, although it is not an opponent of monkeys, but it has lasted quite a long time. As soon as Bajie saw it, he became energetic, and said with a smile, "Sha Seng, you are here to support, let the old pig go to help fight and fight, Mo teaches the monkey to do this work alone, and lead the wine for a minute." ”
The old pig joins the warband, and the monster holds another gun against it. Bajie praised, "This goblin is good at marksmanship, not a spear behind the mountain, but a silk gun, and it is not a Majia gun, but it is called a soft-handled gun!" The walker said, "Idiot don't talk nonsense! What kind of soft-handled gun is there!" Bajie said, "You see that he used the tip of the gun to support us, but he didn't see the handle of the gun, and he didn't know where to collect it." "Walker said," or a soft-handled gun. But this monster can't speak yet, thinking that he has not yet returned to humanity, and the yin qi is still heavy, but he is afraid that the yang qi will prevail when the morning dawns, and he must go. But when you go, you must catch up, and don't let him go. ”
The soft-handled gun has not yet returned to humanity, and the yin is heavy. Poof, hey, hey. Oh, I see, this implied character is a eunuch.
It was almost dawn, and the monster didn't dare to fight, so he turned around and left. The walker and Bajie rushed together, and suddenly smelled the filthy breath of the Xuren, which was the same as the Seven Peerless Mountains, and the smell was terrible! The monster went over the mountain, and the original image appeared, which was a red-scaled python. Look at him - his eyes are shooting at Hyosung, his nose is spraying mist. Dense teeth row steel swords, bent claws and bent gold hooks. Wearing a horn of flesh on his head, it looks like a thousand pieces of agate, and his body is covered with red scales, but it is like thousands of pieces of rouge. The land is only suspected to be a brocade quilt, and the flying sky is mistaken for Hauni. There is a fishy smell in the resting place, and there is a red cloud cover when moving. It is not big, people on both sides do not see the east and west, it is not long, and a mountain spans the north and south.
I'm puzzled, how did this guy become a military attache again, but he's also a big villain, not a good thing. Lao Wu tossed people and fainted again, who are they?
The walker said, "The soft-handled spear is two letters. We'll drive him off and get out from behind!" the monster went headlong into the cave, and left its tail seven or eight feet long. Bajie put down the palladium, held it, and tried his best to pull it out, not wanting to pull it at all. The walker didn't let the old pig pull the snake, "This guy has a wolf chopping body, the cave is narrow, and he can't turn around categorically, he must be a straight one, and there must be a back door." You go and stop outside the back door, and wait for me to fight outside the front door. ”
I think I've seen this scene somewhere, but it's a little weird. Isn't this the story of the imperial family wanting to cut off Jiang Bin after the death of Ming Wuzong? When Ming Wuzong was in power, although he slaughtered Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao favored the eunuch Qian Ning, because he was able to come up with all kinds of tricks for his own amusement after Liu Jin. Zhu Houzhao also has a favorite minister named Jiang Bin, who started by suppressing the peasant uprising, and once led the army to meet the Mongol soldiers in the north, and the battle was still okay.
The idiot was really a smoke, ran over the mountain, and sure enough, there was a hole. However, the monkey smacked the stick inside the front door, and the monster protected the pain and pushed it out of the back door. Bajie was unprepared, and was hit by his tail, and he couldn't afford to be frustrated, so he slept underground and endured the pain.
When the Bajie heard that Wukong was coming, he was shy, endured the pain and got up, making the palladium flutter. The walker smiled when he saw it, "The monster is gone, what are you still doing?" Bajie said, "The old pig is here to scare the snake!"
The two of them chased after them, and when they saw that the strange plate was in a mess, they raised their heads, opened their huge mouths, and swallowed the monkey. Wukong tossed in the belly of the goblin, and for a while he built a bridge, but no one dared to go, and for a while he turned into a boat, but without a mast canopy, it was not good for the wind, and finally the monkey tried his best to pull the iron rod out of his back, about five or seven zhang long, like a mast. The guy endured the pain and struggled for his life, pushed forward, faster than the wind, returned to the old road, and went down the mountain for more than 20 miles, but only fell into the dust, turbulent, and mournful.
Bajie then caught up and raised palladium again. The old pig killed the snake all his life and dragged the monster back to Huoluozhuang. All the men and women of the village came to kneel down and bow, "Grandpa! It is this goblin who hurts people here! Fortunately, the old man casts a spell to kill the monster and eliminate the evil, and my generation has a peaceful life!" The master and apprentice were detained for five or seven days, and they were reluctant to let them go. And when the families saw that he did not want money or goods, they all made some dry food and fruits, rode mules and horses, and spent red and colored flags, and came to eat and drink. There are 500 people here, and there are 7 or 800 people to send them off.
Sure enough, this is how to capture Jiang Bin at that time, this kid did too many bad things, and he was later executed, and the ministers were relieved of their hatred. Now it is clear that this monster turned out to be a combination of three people, the python body is Jiang Bin, and the two believers are Qian Ning and Zhang Rui.
Jiang Bin is the most favored of the more than 100 righteous sons recognized by Ming Wuzong, and he is given the surname Zhu. He was born as a military general, and later became the commander of the four towns of Xuanfu, Datong, Liaodong, and Yansui.
Jiang Bin was only a petty officer at first, and when he suppressed the uprisings of Liu Liu and Liu Qi, he was still a Datong guerrilla, and it is said that when he passed Jizhou, he killed more than 20 people from an ordinary family as rebels, so as to take the risk. Later, he made a contribution to the suppression of the peasant army and hooked up with Qian Ning, so that he could meet Ming Wuzong face-to-face.
Because he once shot an arrow in the face in the battle to suppress the peasants, but he still fights, which can be regarded as heroic. Zhu Houzhao looked at the scar on his face, asked what happened, and was overjoyed, so he left Jiang Bin.
Once, Ming Wuzong fought with a tiger in the leopard room. Well, it's true, and there has been more than one fight. Then it must have been castrated by the tiger, cut off its claws, or pulled out its teeth. But who knew that this gelding tiger suddenly had convulsions and was very powerful, so Zhu Houzhao was gradually forced into a corner. The situation is also very dangerous, at this time, Qian Ning was so frightened that he trembled on the side, Jiang Bin was not afraid of this, so he rushed up to relieve the siege and held the tiger. Ming Wuzong was frightened, his mouth was still hard, I'm fine, why did you come up and do this more. But since then, he has been extremely trusting of Jiang Bin, this Jiang Bin is not a good thing, but he wants to be martial, and he has a big vat of bad water. There are more and more outrageous ideas for Ming Wuzong to have fun, and he was pampered by Zhu Houzhao and went to bed, and the two of them slept together and returned that or something, because of this Ming Wuzong, he also loves men.
Jiang Bin not only commanded the military horses of the four towns, but also the commander of the East Factory and the Jinyi Guard, and his power was monstrous, and his edge overshadowed Qian Ning and Zhang Rui. That guy is just tossing around, cleaning up the ministers casually, he is even more ruthless than Liu Jin, and there must be hundreds of ministers who have been persecuted.
In March of the sixteenth year of Zhengde, Ming Wuzong was seriously ill, and Jiang Bin and his henchmen Shen Zhou and Li Cong had a premonition that it was not good. Shen Zhou and Li Cong persuaded Jiang Bin to simply launch a rebellion and set up a monarch to ascend the throne, so as to continue to control his current position. But Jiang Bin didn't agree inexplicably, and he didn't know what he was afraid of.
But at this time, the Empress Dowager Zhang and the first assistant of the cabinet, Yang Ting, and they were already ready to clean up Jiang Bin and his gang, because the power of these guys is too great, either you die or I live.
I don't want the emperor to die in a few days, so the queen mother will send an order to Jiang Bin to mourn. Jiang Bin was suspicious, but he still went to the palace. Jiang Bin later felt bad and wanted to leave quickly, but the eunuch Zhang Yong said let's have a meal together. dragged Jiang Bin, and soon the guards came to arrest Jiang Bin. Jiang Bin is a military general, seeing that the situation is not good, he ran away. But finally on March 18, Bei'anmen was arrested, and the house was raided, and the family had countless gold and silver.
In June of this year, Jiang Bin, Shen Zhou, and Li Cong were all beheaded and abandoned the city.
In Journey to the West, the tongue of this python should be Qian Ning and Zhang Rui. Qian Ning was the former highest official of Jinyiwei, but he died later than Jiang Bin, he was suspected of colluding with King Ning when he rebelled, and was dismissed by Ming Wuzong, and then remembered after being succeeded by Emperor Jiajing of Ming Shizong, so he was charged with rebellion. The eunuch Zhang Rui is the head of the East Factory, and he is also quite powerful, but he is inferior to Jiang Bin and Qian Ning.
Qian Ning also used to be Zhu Houzhao's righteous son, this kid used to slap the horse Liu Jin, and he was also a military general, and he was very good at horseback archery. He also gave Ming Wuzong a lot of fun ideas, and even recommended many monks from the Western Regions and a monastery in Henan to the emperor to introduce how to play and whatever.
Because Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao had no son for a long time, Qian Ning hooked up with Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, because he wanted King Ning to inherit the throne. But King Ning later rebelled and failed Qian Ning's thoughts. This Qian Ning was unlucky on this because the team rode the wall, but he himself should have no intention of rebelling.
Qian Ning also persecuted many ministers, and offended many people. He himself is also a corrupt official, and when he raided his house, he was also full of gold and silver, and he was very happy when he died.
As for Zhang Rui, he has done a lot of bad things, but he is a eunuch and usually stays by the emperor's side, so the matter of Qian Ning and Jiang Bin did not directly affect him. On the contrary, when Jiang Bin escaped and was wanted, Zhang Rui also supported Jiang Bin out of the lesson of cold lips and teeth. But let Yang Tinghe, the first assistant at that time, give righteousness and strict words, and reprimanded him, Zhang Ruicai did not succeed, and Jiang Bin was executed.
Later, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne, and Yang Tinghe suggested that Zhang Rui and Zhang Yong should also be slaughtered in order to maintain the country's law, and it was mentioned in the recital that the three halls had already condemned them to death. But there were many ministers who pleaded for mercy, Jiajing didn't look at the fact that he was only fifteen or sixteen years old at the time, and he had a lot of eyes, so he didn't fully agree to Yang Tinghe, but just dismissed Zhang Rui and Zhang Yong, and at most they confiscated their homes.
Zhang Yong's fate is okay, because of Yang Yiqing's intercession and protection, he later became an official and died in office. After all, Zhang Yong is the biggest contributor to getting rid of Liu Jin, and he has merit.
Regarding Zhang Rui, he should have been turned into a concubine, and in the end I don't know how.
Lao Wu hates these guys very much except for Zhang Yong, but it is estimated that they are also mixed with personal feelings. Old Man Wu's teacher, Wang Fengling, was very dissatisfied with Zhang Rui, and once said to the emperor that Zhang Rui deserved to die for his crimes, but he was just sent to a distant place and paid some ransom, which was a bit light. "The thieves who will be punished in this generation are also, if they are not minions and rebels, they will be winged Qian Ning, and if they are not traffic Chenhao, they will marry Jiang Bin. Today, he uses bribes to divert holy concerns, and the ministers are afraid of treachery and provocation, saying that personal relations can be punished, and chaotic politics can not be killed. What does the law and discipline mean?" But the emperor did not agree to him, and later Wang Fengling participated in another guy named Chen Xun. However, because Chen Xun was a "loyal minister", the emperor demoted Wang Fengling.
The old man surnamed Li in the book Journey to the West clearly reflects Li Dongyang, the first assistant of the Ming Wuzong period. This is a very old character, the beginning of the career was not smooth, basically slowly boiled up, it is said to be approachable, make friends.
Li Dongyang is tolerant, so he basically has no enemies, but he is also ridiculed by the world as his "prime minister". When Liu Jin was powerful, he deliberately avoided it, which was in stark contrast to Old Man Wu's teacher, but he couldn't complain too much about Li Dongyang. After all, several ministers later planned to admonish Liu Jin and rectify it, but Li Dongyang also participated. Later, after Liu Jin cried at Ming Wuzong, he softened the emperor's heart, and on the contrary, he smashed these ministers. However, because Li Dongyang was sleek, he was not implicated, and even because there was no one, he was promoted to the first assistant. Until Li Dongyang passed away, he didn't make any achievements, and there were no major mistakes.
So Lao Wu said in the book that Li Dongyang and their hearts were not aligned, so they couldn't fix the monsters. Then the villagers of this camel village are actually ministers who have suffered from Liu Jin, Jiang Bin, Qian Ning and Zhang Rui.
However, Lao Wu was also quite damaged, and obviously treated Jiang Bin, Qian Ning and Zhang Rui as eunuchs. Seven uniques, if you take a closer look, you will understand, isn't this just a eunuch. However, among these three, only Zhang Rui is the real eunuch, and the other two are actually military generals. This also reflects that Old Man Wu is jealous and hateful, although it is a little too much. Next, what the foul-smelling persimmon alley reflects, it is self-evident.
Along the way, I like to rejoice, and from time to time I go to the Seven Peerless Mountains and persimmons. The monkey let the old pig come, old man Li, you go and make two stones of rice dry rice, and then make some steamed cakes and steamed buns, and when my long-mouthed monk is full, he will become a big pig, arch the old road, and the situation will pass.
Bajie heard the words and said, "Brother, you all want to be clean, how can you teach the old pig to stink alone?" Sanzang said, "Wu Neng, you really have the ability to arch the alley, lead me over the mountain, and note your first work." ”
When Bajie heard this, he smiled and agreed. But it must be that everyone agrees to let him eat enough before he can do anything. Bajie was full of joy, took off his soap, lost his nine-toothed palladium, and said to the crowd, "Don't joke, watch the old pig do this stinky work." "The good nerd really became a big pig, what a real one is - the mouth is long and the hair is short and half fat, and he has eaten medicine seedlings in the mountains since he was a child. The black face is like the sun and the moon, and the round head and big ears are like plantains. Cultivating strong bones is the same as longevity, and refining coarse skin is stronger than iron. Nasal croaking, chirping and snorting. The four white hooves are thousands of feet high, and the sword is long and long. From seeing the fat pigs in the world, I haven't seen today's old pigs. Tang Seng and others praised it, envying the high mana of the beautiful canopy.
We see that Bajie was so afraid of python spirits before, but now he has been damaged by Lao Wu. It shows that Lao Wu gave Lao Pig a temporary cameo appearance as a minister, and also made Wukong a hero of eliminating evil. Who exactly is mapped has nothing to do with the overall situation, so it will not be discussed.
The eight precepts opened the way, and Sanzang, the walkers, and the sand monks thanked everyone and parted ways. It is - the guest of Huoluo Zhuang went home, and Bajie opened the mountain to pass the pain. Sanzang is sincere and powerful, and Wukong Law shows the decline of monsters and demons. The thousand-year-old persimmon is now clean, and the seven unique alleys are open today. The six desires and dust are all cut off, and the lotus platform is safe and unhindered.
So what this poem is talking about, everyone will understand, and it will be useless to say more, and it will only add to the picture.
In this book, Zhu Bajie is obviously an indispensable figure, so it shows that Emperor Zhu Houxie of Ming Wuzong is somewhat involved with Lao Zhu. Thinking about it carefully, Emperor Wuzong's father is Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youji, oh, this understands, I see. Wood makes a fire, no wonder.
I don't know how much distance there is to go this way, and what monsters I will encounter, please listen to the nonsense next time.
