It may be hard for you to believe that the reason why Zhen Ting does not expose which monkey is real and which monkey is fake is simply fear.
In other words, the interests of the prefectural government are considered, and I care which one of you is true and which one is false, as long as the interests of the prefectural government are not damaged.
Then the key to the problem comes: just identify which Sun Wukong is real and which Sun Wukong is fake, how can the interests of the prefectural government be damaged?
Don't rush and listen to me slowly.
Point 1: Who is the Listener, and where is He divine?
We are always saying that we know what it is in order to know why it is so, so let's first see who it is.
In the Journey to the West, there is such a character, with a peculiar appearance, it is not ugly to say ugly, and it is definitely not beautiful to say that it is beautiful. He is the mount of the Bodhisattva of the Jizo King, the famous Ting.
Then some people said, how did he come up with such a strange name, could it be that he has some miraculous ability?
Indeed, there really is.
Listening has a very terrible ability, and that is to distinguish between true and false.
It is precisely because of this ability that the Monkey King is willing to come to the mansion and let the truth listen to judge who is true and who is false.
After all, the poor and the poor fell to the Yellow Spring, up to the nine days, down to the Nine Shadows, he could listen to all things on the ground.
What this sentence means does not need me to say more, in short, the things under the sky have never been incomprehensible to him.
The true and false Monkey King also decided to let the truth listen to it because he knew that he had such a ability to listen.
Aren't you saying you can understand everything? So good, you come to listen to see who is the real monkey and who is the fake monkey, and it's not over to separate them.
Do you know what he said when he heard and distinguished the true and false monkeys?
This sentence is almost the most critical point, but also many people misinterpret the most important sentence in the Journey to the West, if you ignore this sentence, then the original Journey to the West book tastes different.
This sentence is: Demon Spirit Tong, indistinguishable from Sun Dasheng, how much mana can the God of the Underworld have? Therefore, it cannot be captured.
What does this sentence mean?
In fact, what he meant was that the mana of the real and false Sun Wukong was almost the same, and they also had ruyi golden hoop sticks, and they couldn't tell the difference between victory and defeat after fighting for such a long time.
Even if I really give the true and false, then what then, then what to do? Don't break up my mansion when the time comes.
Point 2: The Truth has heard the most crucial sentence
Some people are easy to associate, what do you associate?
Why don't you dare to say it?
Naturally, there is only one possibility, that is, behind the real and false monkeys.
Rulai is ready to replace the real monkey with a fake monkey and achieve the final victory fruit, so that he can directly get rid of Sun Wukong and the forces behind him.
For some loyal fans of Journey to the West, this has almost become a thing to talk about.
But the crux of the matter is that we cannot draw this conclusion from hearing it, and the answer given in point 1 is not at all the same as we imagine.
The meaning of listening is that the true and false two monkeys have been fighting for such a long time, they can't tell the difference between victory and defeat, and since they can't tell the difference between victory and defeat, is it meaningful to distinguish between true and false?
I said you this monkey is real, the other monkey believes it? I said this one is true for monkeys, so does the other monkey approve?
So no matter what kind of result I say, neither of you will approve of it, and the heavens and the earth have made you turn over and over again, and now they are running to my mansion again.
Although I am not the master of this mansion, but I am also here in front of the errands, if I can distinguish it, the next must be a random beating, beating up and beating, what if I break this mansion?
We may wish to think from the perspective of listening, is this the truth?
Of course, this is the truth, no matter what the truth hears, no matter who the truth points out and who is false, the final result is only one, that is, the real monkey and the false monkey have to fight again.
Moreover, if there is a fight between them, it doesn't matter where you are here, it is very likely to turn the difu upside down, and even cause the difu to suffer huge casualties.
Whether it is a fake monkey retaliation or a real monkey who wants to fight, it is only himself who suffers a loss in the end.
Point 3: Listen to the good ideas that come up with them
At this time, there are two things that need to be done to listen:
The first point is to distinguish between real and fake monkeys.
The second point is for a man who can pick up fake monkeys to officially appear.
Do you still have to think?
Surely they didn't even have to think about it, they directly led the evil water to the east and let them find the Buddha. Anyway, in the early years, the Buddha directly pressed Sun Wukong on the Five Finger Mountain through one palm.
Sun Wukong can definitely appear in front of the Buddha of Rulai, and as for the fake monkey, he can also be subdued by the Buddha of Rulai.
And it turned out that it was indeed like this, when the real fake monkey hit the Buddha of Rulai, the Buddha of Rulai just took out a small magic weapon and easily subdued the fake monkey.
Of course, I used a little exaggerated technique, this magic weapon is not simple, and it is estimated that you can completely suppress two Sun Wukong just by relying on this one magic weapon.
Point 4: Why would a fake monkey dare to go to the Buddha's side?
In fact, this is the most confusing point in the whole play.
Why does the fake monkey dare to go to the Buddha's side, and if he doesn't go to the Buddha's side, he can't go to the Buddha's side?
The reason why the fake monkey dared to go to the Buddha's side was because the fake monkey thought that there would be no big problem if he went to the Buddha's side, not only would there be no big problem, but the real monkey would die.
Including when I watched Journey to the West before and told others about the true and false Monkey King, I felt that Sun Wukong had actually eliminated his own demons.
Many people say that it is not like this, the monkey is no longer the original monkey, because after the true and false Monkey King, Sun Wukong rarely calls the Eight Precepts of the Pig a nerd.
The Eight Precepts of the Pig also have a lot of respect for Sun Wukong, and the reason for this change is that we can only say that Sun Wukong is mature.
As for why fake monkeys dare to go to the Buddha's side, I will tell you a story.
When everyone was in elementary school, there must be cases where they could not finish their homework, and the teacher said that they did not finish their homework by raising their hands, and then asked the students who raised their hands to go outside to punish and copy.
There must be some friends sitting there, even if the teacher comes up to him and asks if you have written your homework, the student also says that I have finished writing.
When the teacher asks him to take it out and look at it, the student will panic, why?
Because the teacher has made it clear to check the homework.
In the same way, the same is true of fake monkeys, doesn't it mean that the Buddha's side can distinguish between real and fake monkeys?
Well, we went to the Buddha's side, and at first we were hard-mouthed, thinking that even if we found out that I was a fake monkey, it would not bring any punishment results.
It is true that the Buddha did not punish him, but Sun Wukong directly hit it with a stick, so that the six-eared macaque completely disappeared.
Of course, this is only a speculation, and for now, this speculation is more acceptable than the replacement of real monkeys by fake monkeys.
The reason is very simple, do not look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, if the Buddha's ability is great, in the original Journey to the West is only a person liked by the Jade Emperor.
In the setting of the original Journey to the West, if the Buddha and the Jade Emperor really fought, they would definitely not be able to beat the Jade Emperor.
At the same time, Sun Wukong also has a lineage, although the relationship between Sun Wukong and Tang Monk is somewhat complicated, but he is a teacher for life as a father.
If he really had any idea on Sun Wukong, it was estimated that Tang Monk would not agree to it at the first time.
Although Tang Monk asked Sun Wukong not to speak of his name to the outside world, he did not let Sun Wukong say it here, just for fear that Sun Wukong would cause trouble and ruin his reputation in the future, not to say that he did not recognize Sun Wukong as an apprentice.
