The big demon Sun Wukong

Chapter 860 Journey to the West: The Prey and the Hunter

There are a total of ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties on the way to learn the scriptures, but in fact, there are not many real monsters that Monkey King encountered along the way.Although both Buddhism and Heaven 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 participated in the 81 disasters, more monsters or those who The famous big monsters all maintain a wait-and-see attitude.

This leads to the fact that the monsters encountered along the way are definitely not enough to make up 81, and naturally it is not enough to make up ninety-nine 81, so what should I do?As a result, the Tathagata discussed with the Jade Emperor and the result was: both of us send some of our own people to become monsters, right?In this way, if Tang Sanzang or Monkey King can really be killed, they can also blame the Yaozu.Therefore, on the West Heaven Road, the monsters encountered are either the mounts of this Bodhisattva, or the pets of this fairy.

In addition to these, Tathagata felt that when necessary, he had to beat or remind Tang Sanzang and Monkey King to let them know that although you seem to be free now, in fact everything is under our control.The best example is that of the Four Sages who tried their Zen mind.

The old mother of Lishan, Avalokitesvara, together with Manjusri and Puxian Bodhisattva, these four sages turned into three beauties and an old woman, to test the sincerity of Tang Sanzang and his party going west.It sounds nice to try the Zen mind of the four people.But actually?From the very beginning, Monkey King saw the true appearance of the four saints with his piercing eyes.

But Tang Sanzang has no attachment to female sex at all. As for Sha Wujing, he is an honest and responsible person.So this test, who is the main test?Is it Zhu Bajie?Nor is it.Because Zhu Bajie had just left home at that time, he didn't really want to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures.

If Zhu Bajie chooses for himself, he would rather be a demon in Fuling Mountain than go to the west to learn some scriptures and become a Buddha.So for Zhu Bajie, there is no need to try it at all, it can be seen just by looking at it.Zhu Bajie was forced to study scriptures by Avalokitesvara and the Jade Emperor.And Zhu Bajie's performance is indeed not firm.

Let's not talk about whether Zhu Bajie has seen the real bodies of these four people. Anyway, Zhu Bajie's performance is that I don't want to learn from the scriptures at all, and I prefer to marry a wife and have children.But for Zhu Bajie who has no heart to learn from the scriptures, how did he do the four holy tests?Just hang Zhu Bajie from a tree overnight.For Zhu Bajie, there is no difference between hanging overnight and sleeping in bed overnight.So this kind of punishment is useless to Zhu Bajia.

If someone like Zhu Bajie who doesn't have the slightest Zen mind is punished like this, what is the use of trying Zen mind this time?Therefore, the most fundamental purpose of the Four Sages this time is to tell Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang that we know everything about your whereabouts, and you have to be careful. Anyone you meet in the future may be changed by us, so it is best to be old. Go to the west to learn from the scriptures honestly.

In this way, if we change our thinking again, what if Zhu Bajie also saw the real body of the four sages at that time?Or maybe Sun Wukong told Zhu Bajie about the real body of the Four Sages?If Zhu Bajie knew the truth, but still pretended not to know, taking advantage of Avalokitesvara and Li Shan's old mother, then Zhu Bajie's behavior is worth pondering.

And according to the characters of Monkey King and Zhu Bajie, such a thing is very likely to happen.Compared with the Four Sages teasing Zhu Bajie, Sun Wukong seems to be more willing to watch Zhu Bajie pretend to understand and tease the Four Sages.You must know that there are not many opportunities for Avalokitesvara to serve tea and pour water, then speak softly and coquettishly.Moreover, there are definitely not many opportunities to openly tease Guan Yin and Li Shan's old mother.

Therefore, perhaps this is the real situation of the Four Sages trying Zen mind.

The Tathagata asked the Four Sages to warn Tang Sanzang and his party in this way, you are under our control, but Monkey King and Zhu Bajie are scheming, and Zhu Bajie even blatantly molested saints like Avalokitesvara and Old Mother of Lishan.So intentionally or unintentionally, I told Tathagata that even if we are controlled by you, we are not easy to mess with. Didn't you see that I even dare to molested Guanyin?But as for whether Guanyin and Lishan's old mother knew the real situation, it seemed that they didn't know, otherwise it would not be as simple as hanging pigs for one night.

Everyone in the world says that Zhu Bajie is delicious, lazy, greedy for money and lustful, but who knows, this is just what Zhu Bajie wants others to see.Only the strength shown by Monkey King can make Tathagata and 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.Zhu Bajie's weakness and incompetence can make Tathagata and Jade Emperor mistakenly think that everything is under control, and can buy more time for Monkey King.

In addition, Tang Sanzang must guarantee and demonstrate his determination to go west to learn Buddhist scriptures, so that the Jade Emperor and Tathagata can believe that their plan has always been carried out perfectly.

Hunter and prey, at some point, are actually calculating each other.As for who will become whose dish in the end, it depends on whose knife is sharper and whose teeth are tougher.
