This chapter has nothing to do with the story, but only tells the old story of Journey to the West.

Speaking of the cause, it is just that in the great war that swept the Three Realms, the two sages of Xuanmen owed the cause and effect to the West, and the way of heaven was destined for a great prosperity of Buddhism.

Speaking of Journey to the West, the five-person group can be described as extraordinary!

Let's talk about Tang Seng first, the law name Xuanzang, the common family name Chen, the nickname Jiangliu, was originally a golden cicada on the Bodhi tree, that Sakyamuni preached the Dharma under the Bodhi tree for 81 days, and the golden cicada also listened to it for 81 days, so he attained the Tao and was accepted as a disciple by Sakyamuni. One day, if you come to talk about Buddhism with Da Lei Yin Temple, you are drunk listening, but the golden cicada is sleepy, so you neglect Buddhism and are punished for reincarnation!

Sun Wukong, speaking of his name, is known in the Three Realms. There are five immortals in Zhou Tian, who are gods, men and ghosts in heaven and earth, and there are five insects, which are scales and feathers. Its true appearance is neither heaven nor earth, neither god, nor human, nor ghost, nor is it a beetle, nor a scale, nor a hair, nor a feather, nor a kun. There are also four monkeys in the mixed world, and they are not included in the ten categories. The first is the Lingming stone monkey, through change, knowing the sky, knowing the location, moving the stars and changing the bucket. The second is the Akajiri horse monkey, Xiao Yin and Yang, knows personnel, is good at entering and exiting, and avoids death and prolongs life. The third is the gibbon monkey, taking the sun and the moon, shrinking thousands of mountains, distinguishing the blame, and playing with the world. The fourth is a six-eared macaque, good at listening to sounds, able to perceive, know before and after, and everything is clear. These four monkeys do not belong to the ten categories, and they do not reach the name of two. This Monkey King is the No. 1 Lingming Stone Monkey, who is the incarnation of heaven and earth, a natural spiritual saint, and studied under the Bodhi Ancestor, learned the Great Dao Jindan Immortal Immortal Method, has seventy-two changes, somersault cloud protection, and his heels are deeper than Tang Seng!

Zhu Bajie, Marshal of Heavenly Court Tianpeng, in charge of 100,000 Tianhe sailors, is a first-class immortal official, a prince with real power!

Sha Wujing, the curtain general of the Heavenly Court Lingxiao Palace, this curtain general is not of high official quality, but he is the guard of the Emperor of Heaven, just because he broke the queen mother's glass cup at the peach banquet, he was punished for the quicksand river, and was pierced by eight hundred flying swords every day.

White Dragon Horse, the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea, Ben and the daughter of the old dragon king of Bibotan Wansheng Princess Wansheng must have a marriage, on the wedding night found that the princess of Wansheng had an affair with the nine-headed worm, overturned the fire candle and burned the new house, but burned a pearl given by the Jade Emperor in the room, this was beheaded, was rescued by Guanyin, and ordered him to ask Tang Seng to go west.

This is a well-known thing in the Three Realms, but it is not necessarily true!

Journey to the West, which is related to the great prosperity of Buddhism, how could these errant immortals be selected to complete it like this?

If you want to travel to the west, there must be a host and a master walker, the host is Guanyin, who cultivates as a Daluo Jin Xian, with great mana, and everything along the way is its host, and as the main practitioner, not to mention the vast mana, loyalty to Buddhism is also the first priority. The golden cicada is the Buddha's personal inheritance, the Dharma is exquisite, and the cultivation is a golden immortal, not to mention the loyalty to Buddhism.

Sun Wukong, his teacher Bodhi ancestor is one of the two saints of Buddhism, the incarnation of the Zhun Ti patriarch, specially designed to teach Sun Wukong, the seventy-two changes, but the eight or nine Xuangong of Buddhism's protector Shengong, otherwise how to be so similar to Erlang God's nine Xuangong!

Zhu Bajie, originally a mortal, was accepted as a registered disciple by the first disciple of the Taishang Xuandu Grand Master, and passed down the method, otherwise how could he do such a powerful high-ranking official as Marshal Tianpeng?

Sha Wujing, the Jade Emperor's guard, is a confidant, if you break a glass cup and hit a few hammers, why be punished like this, every day by the flying sword piercing the heart, even the gods are uncomfortable!

The white dragon horse burned the pearl given by the Jade Emperor, although it was a big mistake, with the face of the Dragon King of the West Sea, he prayed to the Jade Emperor, but it was just a small punishment, and the Dragon King of the West Sea still had to sue his son, how could there be parents who did not love their children!

The depth of the water in the west is unprecedented in the Three Realms!

This journey to the west is not just one or two people going west at will, just seeking the true scriptures. Travelers to the west are related to the great prosperity of Buddhism, and they are accumulating vast merits for Buddhism, and the main walkers need to be reincarnated in ten lifetimes, and each life is a good person with immeasurable merits, and every life, they have to go to the west to seek the true scriptures, and die halfway! The nine heads on the neck of the sand monk can carry the Tang monk through the quicksand river where "the goose feathers cannot float, and the reed flowers sink at the bottom"? That is, the nine bodies before the Tang monk were all eaten by the sand monk on the way to learn the scriptures, and these nine heads have the merits of the Tang monk in the previous life, so that he can cross the river.

Sun Wukong was suppressed by the Buddha under the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years, grinding away the anger in his heart and surrendering his heart, otherwise how could a big devil obediently listen to a monk who was mortal with the naked eye? Speaking of Sun Wukong, it is also the most heart-wrenching, he was originally an immortal fetus conceived by heaven and earth, an elf of free mountains and rivers, if he worshipped a master who had not calculated him, he would not be a free immortal, or he would be in the immortal class, how could he have been driven back to Huaguo Mountain, and he was in the company of a group of demons every day, and he made a big mistake! In particular, how tragic it is to suppress a joyful monkey under the mountain for 500 years, imprison his body, and then plant a golden hoop to imprison his heart after he gets out of trouble! A Monkey King who dares to compare with the sky is born into a good dog, and he is extremely sad and indignant!

How could Zhu Bajie be greedy for a cup of wine and get drunk and flirt with Chang'e? It's just that the two sages of the West took advantage of Lao Jun back then, and he just sent his disciples and grandsons to mix with him, so Bajie became the messenger of the Pure Altar, and it was also the Buddha who slapped Lao Jun in the face.

Sha Seng, such a major event of Journey to the West, how could the Jade Emperor, as the Lord of the Three Realms, not get involved, so he sent the general of the curtain to the mortal world, and his crescent shovel was also refined by Lao Jun, if it wasn't for the Jade Emperor to come forward, where would Lao Jun care.

The West Sea and the Lingshan are close to each other, and the Dragon King of the West Sea naturally wants to pat the Buddha's ass and make his life a little better, otherwise he will not let his son be a mount for the Buddha's apprentices!

This Journey to the West, it sounds like Buddhism is spreading to the east, but in fact, it is just a battle between Buddhism and Taoism, a game of chess played by the great powers of the heavens, and the final winners are those gods and Buddhas, and those who pay the price are those wild demons from all walks of life.

Hey! What a Buddha is compassionate! What a god tomorrow!
