Text: Bai Yuji (author's original authorization)
The domestic animation film "Three Dozen White Bone Essences", the author was in the 1970s when I was in junior high school to see the open-air movie, but also the first contact with the "Journey to the West"; the second climax of the "Journey to the West" fanatical pursuit came from the 86 version of the TV series "Journey to the West" hit; in 2012 began to read the original "Journey to the West" for the first time, since then gradually found that the film and television version of "Journey to the West" is like a delicious meal on a table again and again, the color and fragrance are good, and even seems to be the general feeling of beauty holding a spoon directly into the mouth. It can even be swallowed without chewing. Wonderful experience, great treat! As for how addictive until obsessive? Everyone has their own personal feelings!
In recent years, holding the original "Journey to the West", the narrative in the book contains overlapping ideas such as yin and yang and five elements, and cruel and bloody historical information, which completely subverts his previous childish "three views". The process of revealing the prototype of the story of "Journey to the West" has also aroused strong dissatisfaction from family members and friends around them, who will resent the people who are waking up the spring dream. Sleeping soundly in a dream is very intoxicating, but the conditions that can be exchanged for sweet dreams can only be struggling from the hardships of reality.
The main reason why "Journey to the West" became popular is the original work of the Ming Dynasty's hundred-time version of "Journey to the West", rather than today's film and television version of "Journey to the West", so it is very helpless, and the author has to take you to see the accumulated white bones of hundreds of years ago——
But he said that the three Tibetan masters and apprentices, the next day dawn, packed up and advanced. The town's yuanzi and the walker became brothers, and the two were in love, never to let go, and arranged to be in charge, and lived for five or six days in a row. The elder took the grass and dan (mutton) by himself, and it was really like being reborn and healthy. He took the scriptures with a heavy heart, and there was a willingness to drown, helpless, and went along.
Zhen Yuanzi and Sun Wukong are brothers, and the two are in love? The literary character name , " Zhen Yuanzi " , means the first Zhenshan protector deity in a certain region. In the author's personal cognitive system, Sun Wukong and Zhen Yuanzi, the social archetypes of these two literary characters, are the same person, Tuguhun (this is elaborated in his book "Tracing the Origins of the Turks and < Journey to the West> Examination"). Because nearly two thousand years ago, the first protector of the plateau was the tuguhun.
So, who does the character "Lady of the White Bones" set by the author of "Journey to the West" represent? Who engraved the four characters of "Lady of the White Bones" on the backbone of the White Bone Essence?
According to the common sense of today's people, even if the white bones are piled up into a mountain, it is impossible to see the words "Lady of the White Bones" on the spine of a corpse. When Sun Wukong said the words "Lady of the White Bone" engraved on the backbone of the White Bone Essence, he was broken on the spot by the Eight Precepts of the Pig - the eight precepts next to the eight precepts instigated his mouth: "Master, his hands are heavy and fierce, beating people to death, only afraid that you will read that, deliberately change this appearance, and cover your eyes!" ”
Everyone who is a reader will think that the girl tang monk met with his father and mother are all goblins transformed by white bone spirits! If he is a goblin, he must use his fire-eyed golden eyes to identify him, and then resolutely and completely kill him, leaving no misfortune! Sun Wukong also operates according to the wishes of readers, is there a problem with this idea? Is there something wrong with Son Goku's behavior?
If this kind of thing happens in our lives, which "goblin" wants to "eat people"? Of course, we must resolutely annihilate it! But how to deal with the literary goblins in "Journey to the West", the author has to say: Wait a minute! Let's first hear what Son Goku said to Sanzang, "He's a goblin and he's here to lie to you." Sanzang said, "You monkey head, you also had some eyesight at that time, how to mess around today!" This female bodhisattva has such a kind heart, she will fast this meal to me and so on, how can you say that he is a goblin? The walker laughed and said, "Master, you recognize it there!" When Lao Sun was a demon in the water curtain cave, if he wanted to eat human flesh, it was like this: either turning into gold and silver, or changing zhuangtai, or becoming intoxicated, or changing female color. If there is such an obsessive person who falls in love with me, I will charm him to the cave, and I will do whatever I want, or steam or boil it; if I can't eat it, I will dry it to prevent the sky from the sky! Master, if I am late, you will fall into his trap and be poisoned by him! "The Tang monk believed it there, but said it was a good man. The practitioner said, "Master, I know you, and when you see his countenance, you must have moved his heart." If you have this intention, tell the eight precepts to cut down a few trees, the sand monk to find some grass, I am a carpenter, just build a nest here, you and his round house to become a thing, we all scattered, but it is not a cause? Why trek again, take even more sutras! "The elder was a soft and kind man, and he ate his words there, and his bald head was so ashamed that his ears were completely red. Sanzang was ashamed of this, and the walker initiated sex again, pulling the iron rod and hoping that the goblin would split his face. The monster had some means to make a method of disarming the corpse, and when he saw the walker's stick coming, he shook his spirits, walked in advance, and beat a fake corpse to death in the ground.
It turns out that Sun Wukong is also from a goblin! Tang Monk's previous life died on the way to learn the scriptures, and it is absolutely impossible to rule out that it may be Sun Wukong who eats him! That is to say, if the "goblin" is given a way to live, the goblin also has the possibility of becoming a Buddha, is this not the compassion of Buddhism, is it the promise of "putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the ground"? Unfortunately, in this chapter, Sun Wukong did not give the "White Bone Essence" a chance to become a Buddha.
Tang Monk was humiliated by Sun Wukong, only to see that he had a bald head and was completely red, and from the opposite side, perhaps Sun Wukong's joke words just touched the most fragile and sensitive delusional nerve in Tang Monk's heart! In the text of "Journey to the West", there have been many narrations, saying that Tang Monks are "mortal with naked eyes", and how many monks with mortal eyes in life meet beautiful women who bring food and do not move their hearts?
Sun Wukong also had his own considerations before he set out to kill the goblins--the walker pulled out his stick and thought to himself, "If you don't hit him, it seems that he will make a wind; if you want to hit him, you are afraid that the master will recite the mantra." He pondered again, "If you don't kill him, he snatched the master away for a while, but didn't he bother to save him?" Also play is! Just beat him with a stick, and master recited the mantra, as the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat. With my clever words, my mouth is sharp, and I coax him to coax him, and the good way is enough. "From Sun Wukong's inner monologue" "If you don't beat him, it seems that he is playing a wind" It can be seen that the white bone essence and the monkey king of that year are all the way to the goods, and at this moment, Goku is indeed not giving the white bone essence the opportunity to become a Buddha. In the face of the choice between the goblin to fight or not to fight, the "tight hoop curse" and the jealousy of the white bone spirit actually became a weight to weigh their own behavior, and the great cause of learning the scriptures completely became the grand ambition of Tang Monk alone.
In the face of the temptation of food and beauty, the sand monk who does not say a word and looks at it coldly, what kind of thought does he play at this time belong to? Maybe he is the master of the Dragon Field Enlightenment, maybe he is just a brave man who does not understand; doubtful or he is just the embodiment of the hypothetical reader of the author of "Journey to the West", let him personally experience the scene, let him and the majority of readers comment on this Sun Wukong "three dozen white bone essence" incident, if you encounter this matter again, in the face of the temptation of food and beauty, give you a "crying and mourning stick", do you fight or not? Before making a decision, let's disclose the heart of the character Tang Monk -
When Sanzang saw this, he quickly jumped up, clapped his hands together and said, "Female Bodhisattva, where do you live in your house?" Who is it? What is the wish to come here to fast the monks? "It was clear that he was a goblin, and the elder didn't recognize him." When the goblin saw Tang Monk ask him where he came from, he immediately made a humble gesture and used clever words to coax him: "Master, this mountain is called the White Tiger Ridge where the snakes return to the beasts, and directly to the west is my home." My parents were in the church, reading the scriptures and being kind, and the monks near and far in the Guangzhai Fang, only because they had no children, asked for blessings and blessings, gave birth to slaves, wanted to pull the door, and married others, and were afraid of being old and had no dependence, so they had to recruit a son-in-law and send them to the end of their lives. Sanzang heard this and said, "Female Bodhisattva, your language is poor. Bible Cloud: Parents are here, not far away, travel must be good. You have parents in the church, and you have recruited a son-in-law, and you have the will to teach you men to return, so why do you walk in the mountains at home? And there was no attendant. This is disobedience. ”
The woman laughed and groaned, and said in a playful voice, "Master, my husband is in the northern depression of the mountain, and he has brought a few guests to hoe the field." It was a lunch cooked by the slaves and given to the men. Only for May and June, no one called, and my parents were old, so I personally came to send them. Suddenly, he met three people who came from afar, but thought that his parents were kind, so he would like to sacrifice the monks who would like to pay tribute if they did not abandon their suspicions. "Sanzang Dao:
"Good riddance! Good riddance! I had an apprentice who went to pick the fruit, and he came, but I did not dare to eat it. If my monk eats your meal, your husband knows and scolds you, but he does not sin for sitting on the poor monk? The woman saw that the Tang monk refused to eat, but she said with a full face: "Master, my parents are still monks, or Xiao Ke; my husband is even more of a good person, and the best thing in his life is to repair bridges and roads, love the old and pity the poor." But when I heard that this meal was delivered to Master, his relationship with me was even more different than usual. Sanzang just didn't eat, but he was annoyed with the Eight Precepts next to him. The idiot kept his mouth shut and complained, "There are countless monks in the world, and they have never been as soft as an old monk like me!" I don't eat three points of ready-made rice, only wait for the monkey to come and make four points before eating! "He does not allow for a word, and when he arches a jar in his mouth, he will move his mouth.
The Tang monk was a full-fledged Buddha, and he wanted to test the details of the goblins, and he used the Confucian Bible. Through dialogue, it was found that the psychological dynamics shown by the character Tang Monk were no longer the problem of wanting to eat or not, but the problem of daring to eat or not. Of course, the choice before the reader is whether to eat or not to eat. The Eight Precepts of the Pig were about to move, and Sun Wukong rushed to answer our question, this meal can not be eaten! Goblins fight or not? To fight! Killed? Or slowly! Let's see again, what does the character Tang Monk think in his heart? Is it really "compassion" that he recites the "mantra of tightness"?
Tang Monk wanted to drive Sun Wukong away, and the practitioner said, "Master, I will just go back, but I have not repaid your kindness." Tang Monk said, "What kindness do I have with you?" Hearing this, the great sage quickly knelt down and prostrated his head: "Old Sun was injured because of the great disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, and was crushed by my Buddha on the Two Realms Mountain, fortunately Guanyin Bodhisattva and I were ordained, fortunately Master saved my body, if I do not go to the Western Heavens with you, it seems that I know that I am not a gentleman, and I have been cursed for eternity." It turned out that this Tang monk was a compassionate holy monk, and when he saw the mourners mourning, he also changed his mind and said, "Even so, spare you this time."
In the face of Sun Wukong's bitter lament, the character Tang Monk's compassion attack spared the walker. But notice that this time the compassion was born under the mourning of Sun Wukong.
After Sun Wukong killed the goblin for the second time, Goku said, "He's a goblin." Tang Monk said, "This monkey is talking nonsense!" There are so many monsters! You are a person who has no intention of doing good, and you are a person who intends to do evil, so you go! The practitioner said, "Master taught me to go back again, and when I go back, I will go back, but it is not corresponding." Tang Monk said, "What's wrong with you?" The Eight Precepts said, "Master, he wants to share the baggage with you." Have you been a monk for a few years, and will you not go back empty-handed? You put the old shirt in that bag, the torn hat, and divided it into two pieces with him. Hearing this, the walker jumped angrily, "I'll take you this sharp-mouthed rammer!" Lao Sun has always been teaching Shamen, not to mention the slightest jealousy, greed, how to share what luggage? Tang Monk said, "Since you are not jealous and greedy, why don't you go?" The walker said, "I really don't hide from Master that five hundred years ago, when Lao Sun was displaying heroes in the JuhuaguoShan Water Curtain Cave, he collected and surrendered the seventy-two cave demons, and there were forty-seven thousand monsters under his hands, wearing purple and gold crowns, wearing ochre yellow robes, wearing blue field belts around his waist, stepping on the clouds, and holding the Ruyi golden hoop stick. Since Nirvana sinful, cut your hair and made an apprentice with you, and put this golden hoop on my head, if I go back, it will be difficult to see the people of my hometown. If Master doesn't want me, recites the "Pine Hoop Mantra", withdraws this hoop, delivers it to you, and puts it on someone else's head, I will be happy and corresponding, and I will also play with you. Could it be that these people don't have any intentions? Tang Monk exclaimed, "Goku, I was just a bodhisattva secretly receiving a volume of the Tight Hoop Mantra, but there was no Loose Hoop Mantra." The walker said, "If there is no Pine Hoop Curse, you will still take me for a walk." The elder was helpless and said, "Rise up, and I will spare you this time, but I will not commit any more murder." ”
Note that this time I spared Goku because Tang Monk did not have a "loose hoop spell", see the third time: when Sun Wukong killed the monster for the third time, the Tang Monk was on the horse, and he was trembling and trembling, and his mouth could not speak. The Eight Precepts laughed at the side and said, "Good walker! The wind is blowing! It was only half a day's walk, and three people were killed! Tang Monk said, "Monkey head! And even talk! Monks do good, like the grass of the spring garden, and do not see its growth, but increase with each passing day; those who do evil, like the stone of a whetstone, do not see their damage, but lose it every day. You killed three people in a row in this desolate wilderness, or no one reported them, and there was no counterpart; if you go to the city, where the crowds gather, you take the weeping stick, and for a moment you don't know what to do, beat people up randomly, knock out a catastrophe, and teach me how to get out? You go back! ”
Tang Monk forgave Goku twice before, as if he had given Goku the opportunity to change, this time insisting on driving Goku away, the most important reason was still afraid of being implicated! The character Tang Monk is still quite selfish, and this selfishness is also a big taboo of the Buddhist family!
As the walker parted, he sighed, "Master blamed me for being wrong. This guy is clearly a demon, and he really has the heart to harm you. I beat him to death, and I did you no harm, but you didn't recognize it, and you believed the stupid man's rumors and cold words, and repeatedly chased me away. As the saying goes, it's not three. If I don't go, I'm a vulgar and shameless person. I go I go! Go and go, but you have no one under you. Tang Monk said angrily, "This monkey is getting more and more rude!" It seems that as long as you are a human being, then enlightenment and enlightenment are not human beings? The Great Sage smelled that the two of them were human beings, and could not stop the sadness, and said to Tang Monk, "Suffering! At that time, when you were out of Chang'an, Liu Boqin sent you on your way; to the Two Realms Mountain, rescued me, and worshiped you as a teacher, I once walked through ancient caves, went into the deep forest, caught demons and monsters, collected the eight precepts, got sand monks, and ate all kinds of hardships. Today, I was confused and only taught me to go back: this is the bird's bow hiding, the rabbit's dead dog cooking! Stop it! But it's just more of that "Tight Curse". When Tang Monk saw his words, he became more and more annoyed, rolled his saddle and got off the horse, asked Sha Monk to take out a pen and paper in his bag, and wrote a derogatory letter: "Monkey head! Stick to this, don't want you to be an apprentice anymore! If I see you again, I will fall into hell!" ”
The sand monk who didn't say a word would be thinking at this moment, "Brother Master! Master and disciple know that you are bold and loyal for the good of Master, but if you beat the monsters to death, who will Master tell after he retrieves the True Scriptures? After the monsters are killed, who will come to the monks? Man's greed is the demon, and retrieving the True Scriptures can make the demon turn back into a human being. ”
Yeah, what is a leprechaun? What is God? Where is the devil? Where is God again? The Confucian Bible has clouds: "The way of heaven is reason, reason is the heart, and cultivation is the cultivation of the heart; human desire is also the heart, the heart ape is not received is the devil, and the yima bule is the demon." ”
As a member of the mortals, the author's previous understanding of "yokai" also thought that yokai were born with some kind of organism; or some kind of mysterious body that was transformed by the corpse of a young adult who died abnormally by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon; why did he have such an understanding? That's what the elders think. The cognition of "fox spirit transformation into beauty" is known from "Journey to the West" and "List of Fengshen Gods". Isn't this kind of thinking the inheritance of the demon culture? But I am determined not to pass it on from now on....
In "Journey to the West", there is a mirror that says, where is this mirror? It's in everyone's heart! When you face the character "White Bone Spirit" in "Journey to the West", if you are filled with righteous indignation and have the idea of killing it and then quickly, the "mirror of the demon" will also illuminate your rather cute and angry appearance. Heavenly reason and human desire, one is God, the other is a demon, they are all in everyone's heart, every practice of people, is the inner God and demon in the game.
The author of "Journey to the West" firmly grasped the psychology of the readers at the beginning, let you fall into his elaborate trap, use the narration to guide the "White Lady" to be a monster, and then use the reader's worship of Sun Wukong to let Sun Wukong personally say that the "White Lady" is a monster, and use his own experience as a monster to strengthen the illusion of the monster, when the Eight Precepts of the Pig and the Tang Monk prove their "innocence" again, it will be even more obvious how stupid the Tang Monk is.
In this world, there may be only two people who can avenge the "Lady of the White Bones", one is the author himself, and the other is his confidant, the author. Don't get me wrong, it is not that the author and "White Bone Spirit" are the same surname and complain about her, the truth is: "Lady White Bone" is just a fictional literary character image, reflected in reality, she may really be a beautiful and kind young woman, saying that she is a "monster", but also just some extra intentions in her heart, such as through the monk can achieve some of her wishes and so on. In the eyes of philosophers and thinkers, these beautiful women are not in their jobs, nor in the dojos to help the poor, but in the temples, and their inner thoughts of wanting to receive extra Buddha's favor are the idea of youkai. Anyone whose undivisioned thoughts in their hearts are "human desires," and using this "human desire" as a force to do unkind and unrighteous things, this person is now a monster; on the way to doing unkind and unrighteous things, he can still become a saint. If sin is caused, after a judicial trial, if one can sincerely reform oneself, one can still transform from a monster to a mortal, and if one can continue to do good, if one can make meritorious deeds, virtues, and words, one can still be a saint.
Therefore, Sun Wukong's killing of the "White Bone Essence" is only a fictitious scene set by the author of "Journey to the West". The "tight hoop spell" on his head is also a fictitious prop.
The story of "three dozen white bone essences" is just to give you a game of endgame in the game of high people. It can also be said that the author is testing the effectiveness of the research results of ming dynasty thinkers on the "Hundred Thoughts of the Sons".
If we restore the scene of "three dozen white bone essences" to some deserted primeval forest, for example, we find a monk as a companion, three or five people walk near a family in the forest, make a coincidence and meet a young woman who brings food to her husband, pretending to be hungry and hungry. Note: No one reminded this young woman that she was a monster, and if this young woman saw that there was a monk, she would definitely take out a meal to fast the monk, and in the face of her "kindness", would you not eat it? If you suspect that her food is poisonous, even if it is really poisonous, you will find out! You can choose not to eat, but you have no right and no reason to kill her! Unless you are Cao Cao, you are not allowed to bear you, and you would rather kill by mistake than pose the slightest threat to you. Instead, Sun Wukong complained: "The bird hides with its bow, and the rabbit dies and the dog cooks!" ", the hidden excessive desire of people, really practiced the fable of the bird hiding the bow, the rabbit dead dog cooking.
Perhaps, this is the subtext of "Journey to the West".
