Chapter 5 The Four Sages Test the Meditation Heart

There are a total of ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties on the way to learn the scriptures, but in fact, there are not many real monsters that Sun Wukong has encountered along the way. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although both Buddhism and Heavenly Court hope to kill Tang Sanzang with the hands of the demon clan, but because of Sun Wukong's prestige among the demon clan, except for a very few monsters who participated in the eighty-one tribulations, more monsters or those famous demons all maintain a wait-and-see attitude.

As a result, the monsters encountered along the way are definitely not enough to make up eighty-one, and naturally it is not enough to make ninety-nine eighty-one difficult, so what should I do? As a result, the result of the discussion with the Jade Emperor is: Let's both send some of our own people to become monsters, right? In this way, if you can really kill Tang Sanzang or Sun Wukong, you can also blame the demon clan. So, on the West Heaven Road, the monsters encountered were either the mounts of this Bodhisattva or the pets of this immortal.

In addition to these, Rulai feels that it is necessary to knock or remind Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong when necessary, so that they know that although you seem to be free now, in fact, everything is under our control. The best example of this is the Four Sacred Tests of Meditation.

The old mother of Lishan, Guanyin, plus Manjushri and Puxian Bodhisattva, these four saints turned into three beauties and an old woman, testing the sincerity of Tang Sanzang and his party to go west. It's a good thing to say, it's a test of the Zen mind of four people. But in fact, at the beginning, Sun Wukong saw the true appearance of these four saints with his fiery eyes.

And Tang Sanzang doesn't have any nostalgia for women at all, as for Sha Wujing, he is an honest person. So who is the main test in this test? Is it Zhu Bajie? No. Because Zhu Bajie had just left home at that time, he didn't really go to the west to learn scriptures.

If Zhu Bajie was allowed to choose by himself, he would rather be a demon in Fuling Mountain than go to the West Heaven to take what scriptures and become a Buddha. So for Zhu Bajie, you don't need to try it at all, you can see it just by looking at it. Zhu Bajie learned scriptures, and he was completely forced by Guanyin and the Jade Emperor. And Zhu Bajie's performance is indeed not firm.

Let's not talk about whether Zhu Bajie has seen the true bodies of these four people, anyway, Zhu Bajie's performance is that I don't want to learn from the experience at all, I prefer to marry a daughter-in-law and have children. However, for Zhu Bajie who has no intention of learning the scriptures at all, how did these four holy tests be done? Just hung Zhu Bajie on a tree all night. For Zhu Bajie, there is no difference between hanging all night and sleeping in bed all night. So this kind of punishment is useless for the eight pigs.

Therefore, the most fundamental purpose of the Four Sages this time is to tell Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang that we know all your whereabouts, and you have to be careful, anyone you meet in the future may be us, so it is best to go west honestly to learn the scriptures.

In this way, if we think differently, what if Zhu Bajie also saw the true body of the four saints at that time? Or if Sun Wukong told Zhu Bajie the true body of the four saints? Assuming that Zhu Bajie still pretended not to know the truth when he knew the truth, and took advantage of Guanyin and Li Shan's mother, then Zhu Bajie's behavior is worth pondering.

And according to the characters of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, such a thing is very likely to happen. Sun Wukong seems to be more willing to watch Zhu Bajie pretend to be confused and tease the four saints than the four saints teasing Zhu Bajie. You must know that there are not many opportunities for Guanyin to serve tea and pour water, and then whisper softly, coquettishly, and flattering eyes. And there are definitely not many opportunities to openly tease Guanyin and Lishan's mother.

So, maybe that's the real state of the Four Sages trying to meditate the mind.

If you let the four saints warn Tang Sanzang and his party in this way, you are controlled by us, but Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie will do what they want, and Zhu Bajie is even openly molesting sages like Guanyin and Lishan's mother. So intentionally or unintentionally, I told Rulai, even if we are controlled by you, but we are not easy to mess with, don't you see that I even dare to tease Guanyin? But as for whether Guanyin and Lishan's mother know the real situation, it seems that they don't know, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as hanging the pig for a night.

People in the world say that Zhu Bajie is lazy and greedy for money, but who knows, this is just what Zhu Bajie wants others to see. Only the strength shown by Sun Wukong can make Rulai and the Jade Emperor relax their vigilance. Because Sun Wukong is such a person, once Sun Wukong becomes weak, they will definitely feel that there must be deceit in it. And Zhu Bajie's weakness and incompetence can make Rulai and the Jade Emperor mistakenly think that everything is under control, and only then can Sun Wukong buy more time.

In addition, Tang Sanzang must ensure and show his determination to go west to learn from the scriptures, so that the Jade Emperor and Rulai can believe that their plans have been carried out perfectly.

Hunters and prey, at some point, are actually calculating each other. As for who becomes the food on whose plate in the end, it depends on whose knife is sharper in his hand and whose teeth in his mouth are tougher.
