Five hundred years, before you know it, it seems to be a little different, but where is the difference?
In Chang'an, the monk Xuanzang came out and went to the west on the orders of the emperor to seek the true scriptures in order to seek long-term peace and stability for the Turks. The difference is that Monk Xuanzang no longer has the name of Tang Seng, he is no longer Tang Sanzang but Chen Sanzang.
It's just that apart from this difference, the others don't seem to be any different, he still rescued Sun Monkey at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain and became a master and apprentice; he still disagrees with Sun Monkey's concept and makes a big noise; he is still under the protection of Sun Monkey, shuttling between the mountains and forests of Xiniu Hezhou; Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng are still his disciples; and there is still a little white dragon under the seat......
Isn't this kind of qiē not the same as that Journey to the West?
Heaven and earth, it seems that everything has calmed down, whether it is the rebellion of the human race on the land of the Central Plains, or the competition between the immortals and gods, it seems that there is no overnight, and all the eyes of everyone are on the Monkey King master and apprentice, watching them shuttle through the West Niu He Continent.
The spread of Buddhism to the east is the end of luck, and the sage has set nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, so whether it is pushing or blocking, it will be blessed. Of course, if there are more people who take good fortune, they will also scatter their luck, so some stragglers were killed by monkeys, but more were taken away by their masters, looking at them with amusement.
Finally, Sun Monkey fell out with Sanzang again and left the South China Sea in a rage. Bai Xiaosheng knew that this was the real and fake Monkey King. I just don't know. Without the six-eared macaque, how will this real or fake Monkey King play?
to Buddhism. Bai Xiaosheng is naturally repulsive, and it can even be said that it is too late to hide. That is, he can't hide. However, he wouldn't send his disciples to him for nothing. In the original book, Liu'er was killed by Sun Monkey. Now it's different, with him behind his back, he believes that he can save the six ears, but why should I go to fulfill your Buddhism?
Looking at the real and fake Monkey King, the six ears look very bullish from beginning to end, but it is actually a shameful thing. In this way, Bai Xiaosheng would not let his disciples mix.
Still, the difficulty happened. The difference is not as earth-shattering as in Journey to the West, but a little monster turned into Sun Wukong, deceived Xingli, kidnapped Sanzang, and made Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng think that Sun Wukong did it, and they just beat themselves. To put it bluntly, this true and false Monkey King has become a battle between their brothers and sisters.
In the end, Yiqiē figured it out, and the little demon was also beaten to death by Sun Monkey with a stick. Sanzang reunited with him and hit the road again.
It's a simple one, and it's not interesting. There is nothing in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Bai Xiaosheng. But I think it's a lot worse, that little demon's cultivation is too bad, but your Buddhism is ruthless enough. In order to create a catastrophe, even the art of change has been spread.
The whole journey to the west. It's only been 14 years. It doesn't seem short, but it's not eye-catching at all. Fourteen years. It's really a blink of an eye, just like Bai Xiaosheng let Liu'er retreat, he didn't know that Sun Monkey came out, otherwise he would definitely make trouble.
In the eyes of our modern people, what we watch is Journey to the West, which is the battle between the gods and the goblins. But in Bai Xiaosheng's eyes, Journey to the West is just a side dish, and what he sees is the spread of Buddhism to the east, which is the purpose.
Fourteen years later, the three monks who became Buddhas and their ancestors, Sun Monkey and others returned to Chang'an in the clouds, and the Turkic emperor personally greeted them, thinking that they were favored. In the city of Chang'an, Sanzang preached the Mahayana Buddhism of Buddhism, and the sound of the Buddha was widely spread, and there were countless people who believed in Buddhism for a while. It's just that Bai Xiaosheng is not very interested in these, which is inevitable. He was interested in Sun Monkey.
Sun Monkey's cultivation has always been a mystery, you see how much he has at stake, but in fact, his cultivation is not enough at all, he just responds to the situation and has a prestige, and he is not enough to see the real combat power. It's just that after this time, Sun Wukong achieved the position of Buddha, and he is also a famous figure in heaven and earth. But his cultivation is only Taiyi Golden Immortal.
A Taiyi Golden Immortal has become a Buddha, even if Sun Monkey's combat power far exceeds that of cultivation, it has surprised many people. But if you think about his identity, you won't be surprised, after all, a master and a virgin are not simple characters.
These are not the main ones, the main thing is that the current fight to defeat the Buddha is different from the fight to defeat the Buddha after the journey to the west.
Once, Bai Xiaosheng said to the monkey, "This is your calamity, and it is also your luck." Whether you can see through it or not is up to you. I hope you can see through it. If you see through it, you are a variable. Sun Monkey remembered this sentence and took a step forward. In the Da Lei Yin Temple, if the Buddha came here, Sun Monkey said: "I am not a Buddha, I still go back to Huaguo Mountain." I haven't seen my monkeys and monkeys all these years, and the old grandchildren miss them. ”
It's a very simple sentence, but it's really a step back. It can be said that if Sun Monkey's idea is achieved, then he is no longer a Buddha, but a demon, and a big demon that cannot be underestimated.
This point was obviously unexpected, and other Buddhist figures did not expect Sun Monkey to say this. Naturally, they could not agree to this.
If you still give the Buddha position, the difference is that this Buddha position is like Yang Erlang's divine position, similar to a nominal storage zài. In the original book, if you don't say so, Sun Monkey did it, but the name is not right. Now, if you say it, the title remains the same, but you have a name, and you will be able to act smoothly in the future.
This is a small difference, but it greatly reduces the constraints of Sun Wukong. And through guò all of them, Bai Xiaosheng can be regarded as understanding.
Sun Monkey's journey to the west is nothing more than a kind of cause and effect, he himself doesn't know, but others know it, because he learned from himself, and he owes Buddhist cause and effect, so he naturally has to pay it back. But after the completion of the journey to the west, he is equivalent to returning the cause and effect, and he can completely restore his free body. This is also the meaning of Bai Xiaosheng's words. Sun Wukong should have seen a little, but he didn't really see it, so he took a small step, but he never completely retreated, and was still stumped by Buddhism.
Tie Sun Monkey to the chariot of Buddhism, the reason, Bai Xiaosheng is not easy to speculate, but one thing he understands is that Sun Wukong's achievements are definitely not low, as long as there are no accidents, he can become a quasi-saint, and his potential is higher than most people in Buddhism. It's the same as Shouyin. In the Quanzhen Sect, there is only one person who really believes in it.
From this point of view alone, Buddhism does not let go lightly. As for the rest, Bai Xiaosheng was not too sure.
On the land of the Central Plains, Buddhism has been completely spread, people no longer resist, and many people even believe in Buddhism, become monks, and enter Buddhism.
For a time, Buddhism's luck increased greatly, completely overpowering Taoism.
Bai Xiaosheng silently calculated, knowing that there were more than 200 years in the heyday of Buddhism's luck, that is, the prosperity of the Turkic Dynasty, and although it will not decline after that, it is no longer the situation where Buddhism is weak today. Those saints don't fight back, and that's not because of it. Many people understand this, and Buddhism itself should understand it.
How will they respond?
Buddhism's fortune today is no worse than that of the past. If Buddhism is destroyed, will Buddhism not be afraid of following in its footsteps? To tell the truth, Buddhism is really not afraid because it has two saints.
The interception of the sect was destroyed, to put it bluntly, its own strength was not enough, if there were two saints in the interception of the sect, the outcome would be different. This is also the reason why Buddhism will not perish, and it is the confidence of many Buddhist disciples.
It's just that the prosperity and decline are the general trend of the Heavenly Dao, and no one can reverse it. But there is a lot to say about how it has declined and where it has declined.
Bai Xiaosheng carefully studied the layout of Buddhism and found that although they spread Buddhism widely, the real masters did not go out of the western soil, that is, the corridor passage in northwest China, and it was not guarded by masters, but some so-called King Kong and Arhats. Such people, if Bai Xiaosheng wants to do it, he can definitely get rid of them overnight.
Not to mention the Central Plains, countless Buddhist temples have been erected, but most of the people in charge of things inside are ordinary people, and those who have cultivation are not in charge at all, but seek wise disciples and teach carefully.
This doesn't seem to be like the meaning of fixing the root at all, but it is a bit of a scene of accepting disciples.
This is pulling people! Absolutely pulling people! Pulling people from the East to make up for the shortcomings of the West! Filling in the decline with prosperity and making full preparations for the future! Buddhist people are so calculating!
East to West, the West is barren, the East is smart, and the luck is far beyond that of the West, otherwise with the luck of the unification of the West, why do we need to spread the Dharma to the East? To put it bluntly, it is still a difference in luck.
Because of the protagonist of heaven and earth, the difference between the east and the west, the difference between the two is very great. You see that people teach and expound religions, and there were still interceptions in those days, and the luck of the three religions is greater than that of Buddhism, but the three religions are based in the East.
This alone can make a huge difference between things. Therefore, the prosperity of Buddhism lies not in the West, but in the spread of Buddhism to the East. But in reality, the foundation of Buddhism is in the West. With the prosperity of the East, make up for the shortcomings of the West. In this way, Buddhism declined, lost the whole East, and strengthened the West in disguise.
To put it bluntly, their decline is relatively prosperous, and if you follow the overall plan, the West has developed instead. This is really a good calculation and a good plan!
Bai Xiaosheng sighed, and was impressed by the lead, Zhun Ti and others.
