(Ask for Votes)
Returning to the Imperial Horse Prison, he felt that he and Shishi had a long way to go to leave the heavenly court, and even Bi'er, a shrewd fox demon, had no choice, and he was even more at a loss, thinking that although he had barely survived the difficulties in the near future, they were all expedient measures, and he didn't know how many dangers were waiting for him in the future.
Annoyed for a while, he walked to the water grass river to relax, and unconsciously he took out the box of monkey hair of Sun Wukong, and said to himself with monkey hair: "Monkey King, if I have the ability like you, I will also turn against his mother in this heavenly palace!"
He was inspired by it, and he didn't want to summon Sun Wukong when the situation was unclear, and he didn't want the three words of the Monkey King to blurt out, but the monkey hair actually brightened, and he suddenly woke up, not good, these three words are the spell of summoning, and the monkey hair is activated.
Before he could regret it, he only heard a swish in the sky, and a translucent human figure appeared and reached the top of his head at a very fast speed, and the monkey hair in his hand was taken into his body with a shake, and he let out a hearty laugh, "Finally." ”
The translucent shape slowly turned into a solid one, and a monkey in a tigerskin waist skirt jumped in front of him, his eyes shining. He was completely stunned, "Sun ...... Realize...... Empty?"
The monkey smiled: "I recognize the wrong person, I am a six-eared monkey." ”
He sat on the ground in shock, "Six-eared monkey......?" You weren't beaten ...... by Sun Wukong"
The most famous story of "Journey to the West" "The True and False Monkey King" tells that the six-eared monkey pretended to be Sun Wukong, and no one in the sky and on the ground could distinguish the real from the fake.
The six-eared monkey laughed, "I hung up in the Great Leiyin Temple, is that what people told you?"
For a while, Chen Siwei had thousands of questions in his mind, could it be that this monkey hair was a six-eared monkey? But this is impossible, before Sun Wukong was Bi Ma Wen was learning scriptures from the West, the six ears did not appear at that time, not to mention that he was already dead, how did he summon Sun Wukong to summon him?
Liu'er smiled, jumped to the big stone opposite him and sat down, crossed Erlang's legs and asked, "What's your name?"
"Under ...... Bi Ma Wen Chen Siwei. ”
"Where did you get your monkey fur?"
"It is said that Sun Wukong left it to Tianma back then, and I want to summon Sun Wukong...... No, it's just an unintentional statement, but it summons you......" He stammered for a long time and couldn't say a word.
"Needless to say. Liu'er jumped in front of him and put his hair hand on the top of his head, and said with a smile: "I see." ”
He was surprised: "You know what I'm thinking when you touch my head?"
"You have almost no mana, why is it difficult to know what you think? Fortunately, your heart is on my brother's side, otherwise you can only be beaten to death with a stick. ”
"Dude...... What do you mean......"
"Monkey King. Actually, it's not my brother, I'm his distraction, and it should be my master, but it's too awkward to call the master, so let's call it my brother. Hey, thanks to the monkey hair, otherwise I really don't know what year and month it will be distracted. ”
The more he listened, the more confused he became, "Aren't you Sun Wukong's opponent?
"It's a long story, but for the sake of you and the other heavenly officials, I can tell you. In fact, the fake monkey king of that year was conjured by Sun Wukong himself. ”
"Why?"
"It's not because of the golden cicada. Liu'er showed a look of resentment, "This shameless villain is simply the most shameless existence in heaven and earth, cowardly as a mouse, without responsibility, ungrateful, and not as good as pigs and dogs." There is no Monkey King on the West Heaven Road, and it is difficult for him to drink saliva, but what has he done?"
Chen Siwei is also a person who has read the entire "Journey to the West", listening to Liu'er say this, his mind cleared up, in fact, he felt that there were many doubts in the chapter of "True and False Monkey King", but if Liu'er is the distraction conjured by Sun Wukong, then all the doubts can be explained.
Doubt 1: According to the original book of "Journey to the West", the six-eared monkey is also from Huaguo Mountain, but in "Journey to the West", you can see that the monsters have a strong sense of territory, everyone abides by the morality of the rivers and lakes, and each lives in their own territory. So the six-eared monkey is a cross-border crime.
Suspicion 2: He obviously got a team of people to impersonate Tang Seng and others, but he didn't kill Tang Seng, he just beat him up, since he decided to impersonate, wouldn't it be better to kill the impersonation object?
Doubt 3: The six-eared monkey occupies Huaguo Mountain as the king when Sun Wukong is not there, and the other monkeys can't tell the difference, which shows that he knows Sun Wukong's past very well, so he should know more about the power of the Buddha, so why did he dare to confront Sun Wukong in front of the Buddha and give his life?
Later, when Tang Seng learned the scriptures, because Sun Wukong killed the robbers and protected him, he wanted to recite his mantra, which was more than an inch deep in his mind, and it hurt Sun Wukong to die and live, and he wanted to drive him away, Sun Wukong said at the time: "This monk has lost my heart." "When Sun Wukong beat Tang Seng - at this time he already knew that this was a six-eared monkey, but if it was a fake - confirmed that he pretended to be a sand monk from behind to talk to Sun Wukong about this Sun Wukong can be heard - why did he say such a sentence: 'You ruthless bald, very cheap me!' It has always been Sun Wukong who has been despised by Tang Seng, is it necessary for the impostor to say such a thing?
There are actually many similar doubts, such as the "Listening Beast" of the underworld, which can tell who the real Monkey King is, but it doesn't dare to say. Sun Wukong looked for Rulai to identify, but not to ask Rulai to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but to 'divide good and evil', the connotation of this is that I did what I did right? The meaning of this is obvious, it means that Sun Wukong has already given birth to two hearts, and he has beaten the master, and you are still in the dark. But I don't dare to say it.
When Chen Siwei was thinking, Liu'er saw that his eyes were rolling quickly, and he put his hand on the top of his head and touched it, and said approvingly: "You are still smart enough to think of so much." ”
Chen Siwei said: "But the details are still waiting for Sun ...... Six-eared adults told him. ”
Liu'er didn't hide it, and told the truth as it was, Chen Siwei was embarrassed to hear it, and he couldn't imagine that there was so much inside information in the chapter of the real and false Monkey King.
If you come to let people come to the west to learn the scriptures, saying that it is 'the blessing of the great mountains and the good celebration of the deep sea', it is a promise to give benefits to the people who take the scriptures, and this benefit is, to put it bluntly, an indicator of Buddhahood. Tang Seng came to learn the scriptures, he naturally got this indicator, but in fact, the person who really contributed the most to learning the scriptures was Sun Wukong, along the way Tang Seng made a lot of difficulties for Sun Wukong, several times and three times to drive him away, and even used the things he did right to abuse Sun Wukong with a tight spell, and by the third time, the road to the west was almost over, and when it was time to produce results, Tang Seng had to drive him away. Sun Wukong finally understood that it was unreliable to rely on Tang Seng, the master, to ask for credit in front of him in front of the Buddha, if he didn't want to find a way, he was afraid that he would work hard in vain, and he would suffer Tang Seng's grievances and abuse, so the play of the real and false Monkey King began to be staged.
This was not planned by Sun Wukong from the beginning, but staged step by step. Beat Tang Seng, it was not the six-eared monkey who said'Very cheap me', he was Sun Wukong, at that time Tang Seng belittled him and annoyed him, when Sha Seng came to question him, he flatly denied it, since he denied it, he had to find a reason, so he made up the excuse that someone was pretending to be him.
The play was staged at this time, since it was made up, it had to be made up to the end, and Sun Wukong also figured it out, not letting Tang Seng and the Buddha know their importance, and in the end they couldn't get anything, so he used the doppelganger technique to conjure up a fake monkey king, that is, the six-eared monkey.
So no one can tell the truth from the false, because both are true. There are only two people who can, one is to listen to the truth beast, the other is like the Buddha, he doesn't dare to say that it is very easy to understand, he is afraid of annoying Sun Wukong, it is just a small divine beast, if the truth is broken, it is possible for Sun Wukong to tear down the palace of Hades, he can't afford to provoke it, so he simply doesn't say it. If the Buddha didn't dare to say it, because if the truth or falsehood was broken, no one would be able to protect Tang Seng from the scriptures, and his plan to pass on the scriptures would be completely aborted, so not only did he not say it, but he helped Sun Wukong to lie.
"Journey to the West" wrote: If you are about to break through, you suddenly see ...... , Rulai smiled: I see the fake Wukong as a six-eared macaque. This passage shows that if the opportunity turns quickly, this truth cannot be said, and the great cause of learning from the scriptures is really over, and it will be changed immediately. And Sun Wukong's performance at that time was shocked, he was shocked that he just wanted to come to ask for an explanation, but he didn't expect that Rulai would actually talk nonsense and make up a six-eared monkey. Rulai didn't distinguish between the true and the fake, but directly scared the monkey: "Wukong is resting, wait for me to catch him with you." "Wukong was afraid of being caught, so he turned into a bee and fled. The public didn't know and thought it was gone. Rulai Xiaoyun: "You have to wait for Hugh to say again, the goblin has not left, under my bowl." "When he lifted the bowl, he saw a six-eared macaque.
Sun Dasheng couldn't help it and beat him to death. The word "can't help it" is used well, Wukong's psychological quality is not as good as that of the Buddha. The boundless Buddhism finally helped the powerful Wukong to reunite this big lie, and everyone was happy. The Great Sage kowtowed and thanked: "Tell me that if the master doesn't want me, but don't spend some time thinking in vain! Rulai said: "You don't think about it, don't let it go, I will teach Guanyin to send you, I'm not afraid that he won't accept it." Good life protects him, and then the success will return to bliss, and you will also sit on the lotus platform. The meaning of the phrase "sitting on the lotus platform" is to personally promise Sun Wukong an indicator of Buddhahood. Sun Wukong was designated as a member of Buddhism, and Tang Seng was a sour and incompetent bald leader who suffered a dumb loss and was beaten in vain. This kind of person owes a beating, and if he beats him, he will naturally be honest. ”
Since then, everything has become beneficial to Sun Wukong, because Sun Wukong's identity is different, Tang Seng does not dare to make things difficult for him anymore, Zhu Bajie is also called sweet by brother, and it is foreseeable that Sun Wukong's preparatory identity will surpass Guanyin Bodhisattva, because he never looked for Guanyin when he was killed later, and even chased and killed the Bodhisattva's mount once, he also began to speak disrespectfully: Let me beat him with twenty sticks, you can take it back. He hadn't said this to other immortals before, why did he dare to say it now, because now that his identity is at a high level, the Bodhisattva is nothing in front of him. At the same time, it can also be seen that the Buddha really looks down on this monkey, Sun Wukong's work attitude is unparalleled, capable, especially in the true and false Monkey King and shows wisdom, the Buddha has the heart to pull him to his side, no longer follow Guanyin. ”
Therefore, the main reason for the farce of the true and false Monkey King is Tang Seng, Tang Seng only has the conditions to do evil to a person, and this person is also the person who saved his life N times, he only has a magic weapon of the mantra, and he can only be violent to one person, he has repeatedly exceeded the limit on this person, which is really too addictive. So please imagine, once Tang Seng has greater mana, has the conditions to do evil, and uses a kind face as a cover, then there should be good and vicious? Sun Wukong is just a master who likes to fight violence with violence - Lao Tzu is the one who beats you, see how you are! This is exactly what Rulai appreciates, of course, Rulai not only appreciates violence, Rulai appreciates wisdom more, Sun Wukong beats Tang Seng is a change of law, using wisdom, so it is not difficult to understand the blue eyes of Rulai.
This is the only time in Sun Wukong's career that he has played tricks, and it may sound detrimental to Sun Wukong's bright and upright character, but this time he got the most benefits, showing that Sun Wukong not only has mana, but also wisdom, which makes people see the other side of Sun Wukong.
