Chapter 27: The Secret of the Heavenly River (1)
Pushing the door into the temple, Sun Wukong immediately frowned, because here, he did feel the demonic energy, but the Buddha power in this temple actually exceeded the demonic energy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info This made Sun Wukong shake his previous judgment. If this is the real Leiyin Temple, then there should be no demonic energy here, and all of them are pure Buddhist righteousness. If this is a monster, then it should be all demonic here.
Monsters can change the appearance of Leiyin Temple, but they can't change the pure righteousness of Buddhism, because demons and Buddhas are inherently opposites. But in this temple, it turned out that Buddha power and demonic energy were mixed with each other. Sun Wukong has never seen this situation, but he has encountered a similar situation. That is the carp spirit that I encountered when I crossed the Tongtian River before.
The carp spirit of Tongtian River calls himself the king of inspiration, when Sun Wukong first saw this king of inspiration, it felt very similar to now, it was a feeling of demonic energy and fairy energy mixed with each other. Afterwards, Sun Wukong learned that the inspiration king was originally a big carp raised in the Guanyin Lotus Pond, and he floated his head every day to listen to the scriptures and cultivate the means. Holding a nine-petal red copper hammer, he ran to the Tongtian River as a demon and seized the old turtle's residence.
At that time, Sun Wukong knew that this kind of monster with fairy energy and demon energy, or Buddha power and demon energy mixed with each other, it is certain that they are all monsters that have changed into Buddha's pets or some kind of boy. Therefore, the breath in the body is not pure, and Sun Wukong also found that if there is more demon energy than immortal energy or Buddha power, then this monster is already a monster before the nether realm. For example, the green cow of Taishang Laojun, the one-horned man.
Before becoming the mount of Taishang Laojun, the unicorn had been cultivated into a demon, and this unicorn had been following Taishang Laojun for a long time, and legend has it that before Taishang Laojun became an immortal, when he was about eight or nine years old, he met the unicorn. It can be said that the one-horned man has followed Taishang Laojun since he was a child, until Taishang Laojun became a saint after attaining the way of heaven, so if it is said that the one-horned man dares to secretly run to the lower realm as a demon, this is nonsense at all.
If the immortal energy or Buddha power in a monster's body is more than the demonic energy, it means that this monster is not a demon before the nether realm. For example, the two boys of Taishang Laojun, the Golden Horn King and the Silver Horn King, they were originally the children of Taishang Laojun, but they were fairy children, and the immortal qi in their bodies could not be converted into demonic qi at all. After knowing this and feeling the power of the Buddha in this temple, Sun Wukong can be sure that the monsters here should come from the Western Buddhism, as for who it is, you have to take a look with your fiery eyes.
Speaking of this, there is one thing that has to be mentioned, that is, when I crossed the Tongtian River, what happened to me, what was it. Although this is a digression, it still needs to be said.
The king of Tongtian River's inspiration, pretending to be a god, will call for wind and rain, and ask the villagers to keep the wind and rain smooth at the cost of boys and girls. In August, a snowfall froze the Tongtian River, and the design took away Tang Seng, which was later collected by Guanyin Bodhisattva. This story is known to everyone.
But at this time, several doubts appeared. The carp essence eats boys and girls, the crime is extremely heinous, and it should be punished, and the Bodhisattva is not strict with the pet family, so that the carp essence can go down to confuse the world, it should be a dereliction of duty. However, when the Bodhisattva caught the carp essence, he did not put it to death, or even punished it, but simply put it in blue letters and went back.
You must know that Western Buddhism has always taken it as its own responsibility to eradicate demons and demons for all sentient beings, and for those monsters who eat people and kill people for the sake of disaster, it is simply overwhelming, not to mention encountering, as long as you hear that there are monsters for evil, you can't wait to rush over immediately, kill demons and then establish an upright image in the world, so as to facilitate the promotion of Buddhist teachings.
But this carp essence, the king of inspiration, came to Chenjiazhuang nine years ago, and in the past nine years, how many boys and girls have he eaten? Even if he eats a pair a year, there are enough eighteen people. Such a monster is already heinous. Of course, some people may say that this is actually quite fair, because the people of Chenjiazhuang contributed boys and girls in exchange for the king of inspiration to make them happy.
But in fact, this is not the case, the Tongtian River, where the King of Inspiration is located, is next to Chenjiazhuang, and Chenjiazhuang is close to Yuanhui County in Chechiguo. Nine years ago, the King of Inspiration came to Tongtianhe to pay for the rain for the people of Chenjiazhuang, but before that, Che Chi Guo originally had three protectors (Tiger Power/Deer Power/Yang Power) praying for rain.
These three protectors can summon the Dragon King of the Four Seas, you must know that there was a heavy rain in Chang'an back then, just the Jinghe Dragon King alone was enough, and the three Protector Mages could order the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas to arrive, not to mention the rain, a big flood is more than enough, so Chenjiazhuang does not need to add another inspiration king to pray for the people's rain, these are just an excuse for the inspiration king to eat boys and girls.
Then, it can be thought of as this, the fundamental purpose of the Nether Realm of the King of Inspiration is to eat children. Then, let's look at the second suspicion, in the team of the Water Mansion of the King of Inspiration, there is a mandarin woman. I heard her say that she used to be an errand boy in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, and she had seen Wukong playing tricks in the Dragon Palace.
That proves that she has lived for more than 500 years, which is really not easy for a low-status demon. Do you think, the sister of the Dragon King of the West Sea, the wife of the Dragon King of Jinghe, is more noble than Mandarin Po, right? Anyway, she is a nobleman among the monsters, and she has not lived for 500 years, but Mandarin Po has actually lived until now, and she has also jumped from Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, to the goldfish essence, which is simply unreasonable when you think about it.
It's like a person in a state-owned enterprise with a high salary doing easy work and enjoying a superior environment, but one day suddenly quit his job and went to a small company with only one boss and a few employees, the environment is not to mention, and he has to worry about being demonized. As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons, and a monster who has lived for at least five hundred years will definitely not say anything simple-minded foolish.
Besides, the Dragon King of the East China Sea is a dragon god with a compilation, and no matter how powerful the goldfish spirit is, it is also a goblin who can't see the light. The most strange thing is that when this mandarin woman didn't see Tang Seng, she already knew that Tang Seng was very eager to learn scriptures, and she also cleverly used this. With such magical powers, who can do it?
In addition, Chen Qing'er of Chenjiazhuang was also in his sixties, and he had never left Che Chi Kingdom, in that era of information blockage, he actually knew that the Eastern Tang Dynasty was 54,000 miles away from here, and he had never been to Datang, how could he know so clearly? It was impossible for a person to know something, but one day he knew, and the only possibility was that someone had told him, so who was this person? Who was most familiar with the road of learning scriptures from the West?
Also, Lao Yuan's water mansion was occupied by the King of Inspiration, and he and his children and grandchildren could only survive on the tidal flats. The snow falls in August on the Tongtian River, freezing several feet in a day and night, Tang Sanzang lost the heart of the river, Wukong, Bajie and Sha Seng fought against the King of Inspiration, these things Lao Yuan will not know.
If the turtle helps Goku defeat the Inspiration King, he will be able to retake the Water Mansion and reunite with the Water Tribe. Even if he is not good, he can provide some useful information, just like the god of the Black Water River, tell the background of the monster or something, but it doesn't, it stands by and watches, this behavior is very abnormal. Under normal circumstances, the old turtle would have wanted someone to get rid of the Inspiration King, and it should have taken the initiative to seek Goku's help and offer as much help as possible. Especially when Tang Sanzang and his party left Tongtian River, this old turtle made a wish to Tang Sanzang, asked Tang Sanzang to help him, and asked Rulai how long he had to live.
This matter is also a flawed thing, under normal circumstances, if this old turtle wants to know how long he has to live, the easiest way is for Sun Wukong to go directly to the underworld and look through the book of life and death. When there was a lot of trouble in the underworld, Sun Wukong forcibly sold the book of life and death, but in fact, he did not cancel all the books of life and death, Sun Wukong just destroyed the part to which the monkey clan belonged, so all the monkey clan were immortal.
Even if you can't read the book of life and death, it's okay to ask Hades directly, and there is no need to ask Rulai specifically. Besides, a little monster at the bottom of the Tongtian River can't even beat the carp spirit, and a little monster at the bottom of the bottom dares to let Tang Sanzang go to Rulai to ask for his birthday, which is simply a very crazy thing. However, the old turtle really did it.
And in the end, after Tang Sanzang and the others arrived in the West Heaven, they even forgot about it. If Tang Sanzang accidentally forgot it alone, it would be fine, but everyone had forgotten it, was this a coincidence? Monkey King remembered the things of five hundred years ago, would he forget the things of a few years?
When Tang Sanzang and the others returned, they passed by the Tongtian River again, and the old turtle remembered this and asked Tang Sanzang. Tang Sanzang didn't lie, saying that he had forgotten, and then this old turtle overturned Sun Wukong and others, causing everyone to fall into the water, and even the scriptures were overturned.
Not to mention that Tang Sanzang is his savior, let's just say that Sun Wukong is the Monkey King, and he is a little turtle spirit who dares to get angry with Sun Wukong? He also turned everyone into the water, don't forget that Sun Wukong and several people can fly, but at this time, no one flies, so they all fall into the water, why? Also, the old turtle turned Sun Wukong and the others into the water, and the scriptures were wet, according to Sun Wukong's character, even if he didn't kill this old turtle, he would have to beat him, right? The result? The old turtle walked away unharmed.
Why?
Why?
Because the mandarin woman and the old turtle are Guanyin at all. What Chen Qing Lao'er knew, and what Guanyin told him, was also told to him.
So Chen Qing Lao'er has already seen Guanyin, and there is evidence: in the forty-ninth chapter of "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong asked Guanyin to subdue the carp essence, and Guanyin Bodhisattva turned out:
Lazy and afraid of makeup, the face is more graceful. Scattered a nest of silk, never wore a tassel.
Do not hang a plain blue robe, close to the small jacket. Waist tied brocade skirt, bare feet.
Shawl embroidered belt no, fine arms and arms. Jade is holding a steel knife and is peeling the bamboo skin.
The practitioner hurriedly knelt down and said, "The disciple does not dare to urge, and please ask the Bodhisattva to dress and take the seat." The Bodhisattva said, "If you don't wear your clothes, you can go here." ”
Bajie and Sha Seng saw it and said: "Senior brother is anxious, I don't know how to shout and scream in the South China Sea, forcing an undressed Bodhisattva to come." ”
Later, he actually "untied a silk silk ribbon of the jacket and tied the basket" Even if he was in a hurry, this Bodhisattva had to put on clothes and go out, so he wore a close-fitting jacket, which was basically underwear, barefoot, bare shoulders and arms, it was too open in that era. I also put the silk silk of the jacket next, it was too cool.
The walker said: "Bodhisattva, since this is the case, and when we wait for a while, I will ask the believers of Chenjiazhuang to wait and see the golden face of the Bodhisattva." One is to leave grace, and the other is to talk about this strange thing, so as to teach mortals to make faith offerings. The Bodhisattva said, "Well, go and call for it." The eight precepts and the sand monk flew to the front of the village together and shouted: "Come and see the Living Guanyin Bodhisattva, come and see the Living Guanyin Bodhisattva." "All men and women, old and young, knelt down and bowed to the river, regardless of the muddy water. There are good painters in it, and the shadow god is passed down.
Everyone in Chenjiazhuang hurriedly bowed down, because they had never seen Guanyin Bodhisattva, but Chen Qing Lao'er was not among them, because Guanyin appeared, Chen Qing Lao'er naturally did not exist.
