In fact, everyone also discovered that many wonderful things happened in the process of learning the scriptures, and many seemingly dangerous disasters were not so dangerous at all, because the demon kings of this difficulty were actually found by the Lingshan Mountain, or by the Buddhist sect using various relationships. If Sun Wukong didn't find this fact on the way to learn the scriptures, then after he became a Buddha, he must be even more impressed, because there are many demon kings, and he can see them in Lingshan, so who are these demon kings? I can only list some of this pot of porridge, and I hope you can add the rest in the comment area.
Learning from the team
In fact, many disasters are traceable, they are the Buddhist sect to use various relationships to find, such as the Tang monk team after the completion of the two difficulties not long after the completion of the collection, the four sages test Zen heart and the five Zhuang view, the former is very obvious and straightforward, is Guanyin Bodhisattva in collaboration with Li Shan old mother, Manjushri Puxian and others made. This Lishan old mother was invited down the mountain by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the two Bodhisattvas Manjushri and Puxian themselves are members of the Buddhist sect, so this difficulty is very obvious.
And Wuzhuang view of a difficult seems to happen occasionally, in fact, it is inevitable, do you still remember when Sun Wukong invited Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva's reaction? Here's what the Bodhisattva said:
Why didn't you come to see me sooner, but went to the island to look for it?
This complained that Sun Wukong didn't find the right person, and directly looked for her, and it was solved a long time ago. However, Sun Wukong still didn't believe it, because he asked the three immortals of Penglai and the emperor of Donghua, and they had no way to resurrect the ginseng fruit tree. Therefore, there were some doubts, and the Bodhisattva's words dispelled all his doubts:
Back then, Taishang Laojun once won a bet with me: he plucked my willow branches, put them in the alchemy furnace, burned them dry, and sent them back to me. I took it and put it in the bottle, and after a day and night, I got the green branches and green leaves, the same as the old.
How can people with the status of Bodhisattva and Lao Jun be bored to the point of betting? But if it is related to this difficulty, it is easy to explain. That is to see if the ginseng fruit tree can be resurrected after toppling it. I'm sure this gambling town Yuan Daxian must have also participated, otherwise how could he tolerate monkeys pushing trees? Maybe friends think that Zhenyuan Daxian is a more generous person, and since the Bodhisattva asks for his cooperation, then he will go all out. At first, I thought so, but then I found out a very strange thing that made me know the truth.
Zhenyuan Daxian
You can review the original work, Zhenyuan Daxian reacted to Sun Wukong for knocking down the ginseng fruit tree and smashing one of his oil pots, and the reaction was worlds apart. When Daxian heard that the monkey had knocked down the fruit tree, he also laughed and ridiculed Qingfeng Mingyue, which was very much the style of a generation of grandmasters, but when Sun Wukong broke a pot of oil, Daxian was furious. Who is more valuable between ginseng fruit trees and a pot of oil? You don't need to explain much, right? However, Daxian attaches much more importance to a pot of oil than ginseng fruit trees. What does this mean, it is obvious that he knows that the ginseng fruit tree is saved, and this oil pot is destroyed, how can he be embarrassed to claim compensation from the Bodhisattva? It can be seen that Zhenyuan Daxian participated in it from beginning to end, and he is probably the witness of Guanyin Bodhisattva's bet with Laojun.
The relationship between the length of the article, only analyzes these two difficulties, and the cats in the other catastrophes, welcome to leave a message in the comment area, I will not repeat it here. Therefore, many or most of these 81 difficulties are deliberately set up by the Buddhist school. Then there are many demon kings who themselves have a deep relationship with Buddhism. So what exactly are they?
Demon kings with Buddhist backgrounds Here let's list a few demon kings with Buddhist backgrounds, after Sun Wukong becomes a Buddha, there is a great chance of meeting them in Lingshan. Of course, there will always be limitations to a person's thinking, and it may be incomplete to list, welcome interested friends to complete it in the comment area, thank you in advance.
The Four Monkeys of the Mixed World, in fact, everyone found that there are no concepts, the concept of the Four Monkeys of the Mixed World, only two people in the Three Realms are clear, one is the divine beast under the throne of the earth, and the other is the Buddha. The others are all Buddhists, so they don't distinguish each other. This special group is only known to people from the Buddhist sect, so there is a high probability that they are the monsters of the Buddhist sect.
The Four Monkeys of the Mixed World
Observe their roles in the Journey to the West, the Akajiri horse monkey and the gibbon monkey are hidden in Huaguo Mountain, if it were not for them, I am afraid that Sun Wukong would still be a wild monkey, and he would not make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace at all, let alone learn from the West. Therefore, they are the catalyst for Sun Wukong to learn from the scriptures. And the six-eared macaque is one of the catastrophes at all. It can be seen that the four monkeys of the mixed world have long been under the command of Buddhism.
Mighty Bull Demon King, everyone found that since Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace and was suppressed in Huaguo Mountain, all his sworn brothers disappeared, but Lao Niu was still in Xiniu Hezhou, not only was not affected a little, but also expanded the territory. Especially when he deceived Sun Wukong into stealing the banana fan, he inadvertently said something like this:
His second apprentice pig essence, the third apprentice Shaliu essence, when I was a monster, I also met him, and changed into the appearance of pig essence, and deceived him. It is expected that the monkey is happy to be proud, and he will not be careful in detail.
This was a monster back then, which shows that he is no longer a monster, so he is not a monster, then he must be a god, and there are only two ways to make the demon king turn into a god, one is heaven, the other is the Buddhist sect, and according to the last time the bull demon king was captured, he shouted "I am willing to return to the Buddhist family", it can be seen that he has already taken refuge in Rulai.
Yellow Wind Monster
The Yellow Wind Monster itself is an enlightened rat spirit, and the climate he became in is actually influenced by Buddhism for a long time and eats other people's lamp oil. To put it simply, he is a goblin cultivated by the Buddhist sect. Therefore, he actually went down to earth with a mission, that is, to serve as one of the calamities. In order to start with insurance, Rulai also specially told Lingji Bodhisattva to track and monitor it. Therefore, this yellow wind monster is very likely to be seen by Sun Wukong in Lingshan in the future.
Other Buddhist goblins also include the goldfish essence, the golden retriever of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the green haired lion spirit of Manjushri Bodhisattva, the white elephant spirit of Puxian Bodhisattva, the golden winged eagle of the Dharma Protector Dapeng who came to seal the Buddha, the boy of Maitreya Buddha, the Huangmei King, and even the old turtle of the Tongtian River. Because he single-handedly created two calamities, he also contributed to the Buddhist sect.
After becoming a Buddha, Sun Wukong was canonized as a fighting Buddha, inevitably often come to Lingshan for meetings, or listen to the scriptures, in Lingshan will definitely meet a lot of acquaintances, Dapeng golden-winged eagle is bound to meet, because people are the protectors of the Buddhist school, the probability of encountering the green lion white elephant golden retriever is also very large, thinking that the Bodhisattva also often goes to Lingshan. There is a high probability that the Bull Demon King will be encountered, because the old cow has converted to Buddhism, and there is also a chance of goldfish essence, yellow wind monster, four monkeys in the mixed world, etc.
Are there any other Buddhist goblins? Everyone is welcome to discuss in the comment area. It's not easy to be original, I hope you will pay attention, thank you for your company, we will see you next time!
