There is a major feature in "Journey to the West", which I believe many people know without guessing, that is, Tang Seng's meat; It is said that after eating Tang monk meat, you can live forever, and no matter how bad it is, you can prolong your life, which has almost become an iron law.
However, although Tang Seng was arrested many times on the way to learn the scriptures, none of the monsters had successfully eaten Tang Seng's meat; In the end, Tang Seng went to the West Heaven to obtain the true scriptures and achieved positive results, and no one knew whether eating Tang Seng meat had the effect of immortality.
Some conspiracy theories believe that eating Tang monk's meat to live forever is actually the biggest scam of "Journey to the West", it is a disguise, a disguise deliberately thrown out by Guanyin Bodhisattva, so as to attract the monsters on the way to learn the scriptures to embarrass Tang Seng.
And before Tang Seng met the white bone spirit, although he was also saddened by the monsters, no one ever mentioned that he wanted to eat Tang Seng's meat, so some people thought that it was because the people in the West felt that Tang Seng's journey to learn the scriptures was too smooth, so they deliberately threw out the news of eating Tang Seng's meat.
Is that really the case? Why did no one know to eat Tang monk meat before the white bone spirit? Let's see what the white bone spirit says.
After eating Tang monk meat, can you really live forever?
For this question, the author set it this way when he wrote "Journey to the West", which should be true. And the author also told readers in the original book why eating Tang monk meat can lead to immortality.
In the twenty-seventh chapter of "Journey to the West", the white bone spirit said: "Creation! Good luck! For several years, the family has said that the Tang monk of Dongtu took the Mahayana, and he was originally the incarnation of the golden cicada, the original body of the tenth generation's practice. Someone eats a piece of his meat and lives a long life. It's really a day. ”
The Golden Horn King of the thirty-second chapter also said, "You don't know. When I came out of the heavenly realm, I heard the words of people: Tang Seng is the golden cicada elder Linfan, a good person who practiced in the tenth generation, a little Yuanyang has not leaked, and some people eat his flesh to prolong his life. ”
Judging from the words of the White Bone Spirit and the Golden Horn King, Tang Seng is a good person who has practiced in the tenth generation, and he has been an old virgin for ten lifetimes, and he has never had sex with a woman, so eating his meat has the effect of immortality.
In daily life, before and after marriage, there seems to be no change in men on the surface.
However, the ancients believed that the man who retains the body of a child contains unimaginable energy; Especially like the golden cicada, who retains the body of a boy in the tenth generation, what kind of huge energy does it contain in the body?
Therefore, those monsters encountered on the way to learn the scriptures always put Tang Seng "Cultivating for ten lifetimes, or an old virgin for ten lifetimes" and other words on their lips, which is the worship of the ancients for the body of the child.
The words spoken by the Golden Horn King also revealed an important message, that is, eating Tang monk meat can lead to immortality, which seems to have been passed down from the upper realm; In other words, it is true that eating Tang monk's meat can lead to immortality, but it is indeed the news thrown down by the heavenly realm, just to create some trouble for the four people who learned the scriptures.
And before the white bone spirit, Tang Seng also encountered a lot of monsters. It's just that no one has ever said that eating Tang monk meat can lead to immortality; No one particularly wants to eat Tang Seng meat, and even thinks that eating Tang Seng is the same as eating an ordinary person.
Why did no one mention eating Tang Seng's meat before Tang Seng met the white bone spirit?
The answer is actually quite simple.
As the white bone spirit said, Tang Seng is the reincarnation of the golden cicada and a good person who practiced in the tenth generation, so eating his meat can lead to immortality.
In the original work, Jin Chanzi is the apprentice of the Buddha; The news that Tang Seng is the reincarnation of the golden cicada should be a secret, why can a little goblin like the white bone spirit know?
In this way, it is not difficult to guess that the news that Tang Seng is the reincarnation of the golden cicada must have been deliberately revealed by an insider. So was it revealed by the West Heaven, or by the Heavenly Court?
Both are possible!
If it was revealed by the West Heaven, the purpose might be to increase the difficulty for the four Tang monks to learn the scriptures; But if it is deliberately revealed by Heavenly Court, it may be very article.
All in all, ordinary monsters are short-sighted, and it is difficult to tell at a glance that Tang Seng is the reincarnation of the golden cicada; Therefore, the reason why no one knew the secret of Tang Seng's meat before Bai Gujing was because no one had leaked Tang Seng's secret yet.
And when it came to the White Bone Spirit, in the West Heaven, or Heavenly Court, someone deliberately leaked Tang Seng's secret, so that all the monsters on the way to learn the scriptures knew that eating Tang Seng's meat could lead to immortality!
