readx; Let's go the last time in the article, first explain the mystery of the weapons of Wukong, Bajie, and Sha Monk. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Monk Sha's weapon, "The scepter turned out to be famous, and it was originally the Solo faction of the moon." Wu Gang cut down a branch, and Lu Ban made a cover. There is a golden heart inside, and there are thousands of beads outside. Name: The scepter is good at subduing demons, and Yongzhen Lingxiao can subdue monsters. Just because the official worships the general, the Jade Emperor gave me to take it with me. Whether long or short, let my heart be fine, but also coarse, according to the attitude". "From the shadowless place of the Moon Palace, Thoreau Xianmu pondered. The outside is embedded with Baoxia and shining, and the inside is drilled with gold and rui gas condensation. The day before, he also accompanied the imperial banquet, and now he is upright and protects Tang monks. There is no knowledge on the road to the west, and there are great names in the Upper Realm Palace. Call it to be the true scepter of demon slaying and discipline the shattered heavenly spirit!"

In the forty-ninth chapter of Journey to the West, the sand monk and the goldfish spirit fought, and the monster said that the sand monk was like a mill doctor. Sha Seng said, "How do you recognize me like a Dr. Mo?" Demon said, "You are not Dr. Mo, how can you make a noodle pin?"

Combined, the weapon is a wooden stick, much like a rolling pin, and the total weight is five thousand and forty-eight pounds. The main material is Solo Xianmu (produced in the Moon Palace), which was cut down by Wu Gang, processed and made by Lu Ban, added gold to the heart, and decorated a lot of jade gui on the outside, and it also changes at will.

As mentioned earlier, Sha Seng and the Moon Palace are somewhat involved, Taiyin Xingjun is the Jade Emperor's old lover, and the weapon is actually provided to Heaven by the Moon Palace. Monk Sha became the imperial guard, and this demon scepter was used by him.

In fact, you can understand at a glance, this is the court staff used by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to beat people's buttocks. There is a metal core added to it, and when you shoot people, you have to look at the means. Different ways and methods of exerting force can produce various effects. Within ten rods, it can not only beat a person to death, but also only a flesh wound, or the appearance is unhindered but the internal injury is serious, depending on the mood and desire of the executioner or the attitude of the emperor.

It seems that Zhu Zhanji, the Ming filial piety sect in history, also drove a few expeditions, and the results were okay, but he mainly liked infighting and quelled his uncle Zhu Gaoxu's "rebellion". likes to beat the minister's ass even more, which also shows that he is an emperor who is kind on the outside and ruthless on the inside.

The sand monk was demoted, but he took a blade to the lower realm, and the people with a heart (the barefoot immortal may have some connections) did not confiscate the scepter.

Zhu Bajie's weapon is on the Baoqin gold palladium (commonly known as the nine-tooth nail rake), "This is to exercise the god of iron, grinding into a bright and clean work." Lao Jun used the hammer himself, and Yingfu personally added charcoal shavings. The five emperors of the five parties are scheming, and the six dings and six jiajia are troublesome. Cause the nine-toothed jade to hang the teeth, and cast the double-ring gold pendant leaf. The body makeup is six and five stars, and the body is according to eight sections at four o'clock. The short length is determined by the top and bottom, and the left and right yin and yang are divided into the sun and the moon. The six gods will be according to the heavenly rules, and the gossip stars will be listed according to the bucket. It is called Shangbaoqin gold palladium, and enters the Jade Emperor Town Danque. Because I have cultivated into a Great Luo Immortal, I will raise an immortal guest for me. The marshal was named canopy, and he was given palladium as the royal festival. Raise the flames and light, and rain down the fierce wind and snow. The gods of Tiancao will be shocked, and the hellish Yama is timid. There are such soldiers in the world, and there is no such iron in the world. You can change with your heart, and you can toss and turn according to the formula. We have been together for several years, and we have not been separated for several years. Three meals per day are not lost, and there is no overnight sleep. I also wore it to Pan Tao, and I also took him to the emperor."

It is quite big, and it can be changed at will, and the weight is also five thousand and forty-eight pounds, which is a bit similar to the rake of the croppers, so the monkeys, sand monks and many monsters laugh at Bajie for being a farmer.

The core reflection of the old pig is Zhu Di, who has been attacking more than once he was young, fighting with the Northern Desert for half his life, making trouble with Emperor Jianwen for three years, and finally dying on the way back to the Northern Expedition to Mongolia. Zhu Di is cruel, and his weapons are naturally ruthless enough.

The monkey's Ruyi golden hoop stick, also called Lingyang stick, or Dinghai Shenzhen, "The rod is a nine-turn iron smelting, and Lao Jun personally calcined it in the furnace." King Yu asked for the number of gods, and the four seas and eight rivers were certain. The stars in the middle are secretly laid out, and the two ends are wrapped in gold sheets. The pattern is densely covered with ghosts and gods, and the dragon pattern and phoenix seal are made. The name of the Lingyang stick is a stick, which is hidden deep in the sea and is difficult for Tibetans to see. The forming changes should soar, and the five-colored glow will appear. Lao Sun has the Tao to return to the mountain, infinite changes and more experience. The time should be large and thick, or small and slight as iron wire. Thick as Nanyue and as thin as a needle, the length changes with my mind. Gently move the colorful clouds, bright and soaring like lightning. The air conditioning is cold, and the fog appears in the air. Descend the dragon and subdue the tiger with you, and swim all over the ends of the earth. Once this stick was in the heavenly palace, and the majesty scattered the peach banquet. The king of heaven never won the gamble, and Nezha fought against the enemy. The gods did not hide, and the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers fled. The thunder generals will protect the spirit and fly up to the Tongming Palace. The palms of the angels were all shocked, and the escort immortals were all disturbed. Raise a stick to overturn the Beidou Palace, and look back at the opening of the Antarctic Academy. Emperor Jinque saw the murderer, so please come and see me. Everywhere the goblins die, and there is no plan for thousands of them. The upper part of the bullfighting palace was damaged, and the lower part was crushed to damage the Senluo Palace. The heavenly general once chased Jiuyao, and the underworld was injured and sentenced. Throwing down the mountains and rivers in mid-air, it is better than the Tai Sui Xinhua sword. It's all about protecting Tang Seng with this stick, and all the demons in the world are beaten!"

When Sun Wukong first saw him in the East China Sea, it was an iron pillar, about as thick as a bucket and more than two zhang long. It turns out that the two ends are two golden hoops, and the middle is a piece of black iron, and there is a line of engraved words next to the hoop, which is called "Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick 13,500 catties".

At first, this golden hoop rod was about 70 centimeters in diameter, more than 6 meters long, and weighed 13,500 kilograms. When Tao Zhongwen retired in 1557, he returned the reward of Jiajing for more than 20 years, that is, 13,500 catties, which was weighed by the officials at the time, and in the fifty-sixth chapter of Journey to the West, when Wukong teased a few thieves, he described, "This stick is originally a Ruyi golden hoop stick, weighed by Libra, and weighs 13,500 catties, how do the thieves know?" At this time, it is very clear that Lao Wu is using Tao Zhongwen's reward as a metaphor for part of the golden hoop stick, which is a money stick or a mourning stick (the joking name of the old pig). Also in the third chapter of Journey to the West, the old dragon king of the East China Sea said, "Don't say take it! That piece of iron, if you hold some of it, you will die, and if you knock it some, you will die, and you will be broken by the skin, and you will be injured by rubbing your tendons!"

Knowing that Wukong mainly alludes to Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you understand the main meaning of the golden hoop stick.

Zhu Yuanzhang fought for half of his life, pacified the kings in Jiangnan, overthrew the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, and made many northern expeditions to Mongolia after the founding of the country. Feeling the suffering of the people, angry at the officials' pursuit of profits, and enacting a lot of torture, it can be said that tens of thousands of people died under the "golden hoop stick", and countless people were beaten.

The "Golden Hoop Stick" is Zhu Yuanzhang's lifelong weapon, but from the time of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, almost half of it was completely lost, and the remaining half also deteriorated by 50%.

The Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick has a profound meaning, it is the three-edged sword of "money", it is the Optimus Prime, which supported the pillar of the Ming Dynasty in 276 years, it is the nightmare of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the separatist forces, and it is the wishful treasure that many people love and hate.

Yulong has no weapons, because his core mapping is Zhu Jianji and Zhu Jianshen, and he has nothing to do, and he can't talk about means.

The same is true for Tang Seng, although Zhu Houxian has also fought in the south and in the north, but he is far inferior to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and Zhu Zhanji. What's more, Zhu Yunwen is the core figure of the mapping, so when he talks about fighting, he is simply a show of talent and a sword, isn't bullshit. Oh, it's really a show of talent to use swords, in 1385, Qi Tai was admitted to the Jinshi, and in 1395 he was promoted to the left squire of the military department because he did not make a mistake. Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang once asked the minister, who knows the name and resume of the important commander of the border pass or something, only Qi Tai said it very completely, and other mountains and rivers also carried notes with him. So Lao Zhu is a good person, a talent. Three years later, Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne and crowned him as the secretary of the Ministry of War.

To be honest, it is unreasonable for Qi Tai, a literati, to become a military leader after only 13 years of training as an official, Zhu Yuanzhang is blind.

But we can't deny that Qi Tai is a Confucian, a good man, and his views are not wrong, but in terms of commanding military operations, the means are really too poor.

Lao Wu was still fair and objective to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and when he returned to Yuhuazhou in the eighty-eighth year of Journey to the West, he arranged for Wukong Bajie Sha Seng to teach the little prince martial arts, and the weapons of the three people were also created into simple replicas. For what, I hope that Emperor Wanli can take over the inheritance of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and Zhu Zhanji, absorb the essence to remove its dross, and continue to support and strengthen the Ming Dynasty.

However, Lao Wu and Li Chunfang didn't see that after they passed away one after another, something amazing happened. Wu Chengen died in 1582, when Wanli began to govern himself, and Li Chunfang left in 1585, and Wanli reached the most glorious moment of his life. At this time, Lao Wu and Lao Li said goodbye with infinite expectations and longing with a smile, but Wanli began to slack off.

The various demons and monsters in Journey to the West gradually began to be staged again, and they became more and more intense. Most of the things that worried the two old men have reappeared, and even the demons have come from behind, and they have all cultivated into immortals and Buddhas, and their abilities are amazing, and the means are monstrous, and in just sixty years, the Ming Dynasty has been drowned in the torrent of history.

Let's talk a little bit about a few but key characters in Journey to the West, one of which is the Ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp. In the fifth book, Sun Wukong ate and drank secretly in Yaochi, and dimly came to Laojun of Tushi Tiantaishang and continued to steal Jindan. It is necessary to pay attention to why no one looks at the official, "It turns out that the old gentleman and the ancient Buddha of the lamp are preaching on the three-story pavilion Zhuling Dantai, and all the fairy children, fairy generals, fairy officials, and fairy officials are standing left and right to listen to the lecture."

In the ninety-eighth chapter of Journey to the West, Tang monks and apprentices took the wordless scriptures, but they didn't notice it, but "they said that there was an ancient Buddha with a burning lamp on the treasure pavilion, and he was on the pavilion, secretly listening to the scriptures, and his heart was very clear", and he also sent Venerable Baixiong to remind the great sage to know.

Venerable Baixiong doesn't care, then there is obviously a problem with the Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha (36 Buddhas are ranked first), that is, he has played a major role in the layout of the entire Western Heaven to learn scriptures.

After careful analysis, you can judge that there is a lot of fun between the two of them. Randen first came forward in person, and reached some kind of agreement with Taishang Laojun in private, and pulled Sun Wukong (because the ancient Buddha and Laojun have magic power, as soon as the monkey comes, he must have felt something, but it did not stop the great sage from stealing the golden pill, and it was of great help to him to finally become a fighting Buddha);

The burning of the ancient Buddha is the biggest mystery that is difficult to verify.

The monk of Qian'an, the most mysterious character in the book, only appeared suddenly in the poems of Tang Seng's life experience.

There are also two important figures, that is, the Taoist Tai Bai Xing and the barefoot Daxian, who eat inside and outside and collude with typical representatives of Buddhism. The two have contributed a lot, which is reflected in the book several times.

As for the Jade Emperor, he arranged for the Golden Peak Immortal to be at the foot of Lingshan, and his intention is self-evident. It can be seen from this that Lao Wu also pointed out very casually but to the point in the book that in the Ming Dynasty, the entanglement of the Taoist and Buddhist families and the imperial power were mixed together, which was extremely complicated.

Tang Seng's ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties are actually a record of 81 historical events in the Ming Dynasty.

By the way, the Sihari Kingdom mentioned in the fifty-ninth chapter of Journey to the West is also reflected in the history of the Ming Dynasty. "Sunset country, Yongle comes to pay tribute. In the first year of Hongzhi, its king Yisi Handaer Lumi Tiliya returned to tribute. The envoys played silk, summer cloth, and magnets, and the edict was given."

Then this country of Sihari is also the country of sunset, which should be somewhere in the Arabian Peninsula or Egypt in Africa, not far from the country of Lu Mi (Ming history records, "Lu Mi, go to China is not far away. In the third year of Jiajing, he sent envoys to pay tribute to lions and western cattle". Since there are lions and western cattle in Lu Mi country, it must be Africa, and there are also western cattle and rhinoceros, and there were actually quite a lot of them on the Asian continent before, but they were almost extinct in the northern region later).

The Ming Dynasty's "Atlas of Foreign Lands" also recorded that the sunset country, "no one arrived before and after, but in ancient times, there was a saint Gini who had arrived, and then set up a text." It is recorded that the country is the land where the sun is not in the west, and the sun enters in the evening, and the sound is like thunder, and the king gathers thousands of people in the city every time to blow the trumpet, blow the gongs and beat the drums, mixed with the sound of the sun, otherwise the child is frightened to death. ”

Judging from the above, especially with the specific time description of the "three years of Jiajing", then the Sunset Kingdom and the Lumi Kingdom should be some small countries that were divided and semi-divided before the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire.

To understand Journey to the West, you must read the history and the actual records. Although the impartiality is questionable, there are many useful contents.

The history of the Ming Dynasty also recorded the old man Li Shizhen and his "Compendium of Materia Medica", saying that he spent 30 years, read more than 800 books, and made a book with three drafts, called "Compendium of Materia Medica". There were 374 kinds of medicines, which were divided into 16 parts, and 52 volumes were synthesized. The first mark is named the outline, and the rest is explained for the purpose, and the second is to explain its production and color, and the second is to smell and treat the prescription. The book is completed, and the dynasty will be on the top, and the time will be rare. Before long, Shenzong edicted to repair the history of the country and buy books from all over the world. His son Jianyuan to his father's testament and is the book to dedicate, the son of heaven Jiazhi, ordered to publish the world, since the scholar family has his book (perhaps the book once had an official version, but the circulation range is very narrow, the circulation is very small).

Emperor Wanli actually did a lot of good things in the early and middle stages of his pro-government. We can't shoot it to death with a stick, we have to look at it objectively. However, no one is perfect, and Zhu Lingjun in his later years really made it difficult for Lao Wu to rest in peace.

The whole book is finally coming to an end, but to be honest, there are still at least one-third of the places about the Huayang Cave Heavenly Master's version of the Journey to the West, and there are ambiguities and ambiguities, and the real reason has not been resolved. Limited to the level, the words of one family, or there are many fallacies, please understand.

The biography of Journey to the West is large-scale and widely cited, and it is all used by the author for mirror reading (but it is definitely not plagiarism).

Journey to the West is not a novel of gods and demons, nor is it a work that promotes Confucianism, nor is it a work of preaching and promoting Buddhism. It is a small encyclopedia of the Tang and Ming dynasties, creating a unique alternative historical stream that cannot simply be called a historical work. However, it also has its limitations, because its fundamental purpose is to advise the imperial rulers.

As mentioned earlier, it is a "plan", and it is also a "bureau", in which the emperor, ministers, Taoism and Buddhism are fully displayed.

Journey to the West is still a time-traveling novel, and it is the rebirth of many emperors, crossing back and forth between Tang and Ming. With a simile of Tang and exhortation to the emperor, the author's heart is hidden in the depths of the sea of books.

Despite this, I personally think that its achievements are still higher than "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin" (all of which are works of pity for Zhang Shicheng and have extraordinary writing) and "Golden Bottle" (a reluctance to exaggerate the reflection of Yan Song's father and son). However, these three books had a great influence on Lao Wu and contributed to the completion of the Journey to the West.

This is the end of Journey to the West (first draft), ladies and gentlemen, thank you for reading, goodbye.
