Who is the most enterprising turtle in Journey to the West? In order to get an accurate answer, he twice transformed into a means of transportation for Tang monks and disciples. Many people think that the old shrew is interested in the ability of Rulai, but is this really the case?
What is the ability of Rulai?
As the leader of the Spirit Mountain, Rulai had a pair of eyes that saw through the first five hundred years and five hundred years later, and it was his divine power to predict the future that the old shrew saw.
Tang Monk and Lao Shrew first met in the Tongtian River, when the monster that was making waves in the Tongtian River was the goldfish spirit, and it was also the most favored pet under the Guanyin seat, but the goldfish spirit did not report to the leader at all times, it belonged to the "smuggling" monster, the employees had an accident, the first person to be held accountable was definitely his master, Guanyin broke his heart for this pet, and even the intimate clothes did not have time to change and hurried out.
The first thing the goldfish spirit did after coming to the mortal world was to find a place to live, but he did not want to rent a house, and with his own spells and high status, he did the business of forcibly occupying, and in the Tongtian River was a bunch of weak shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and an old turtle that had been cultivating for hundreds of years, where they were the opponents of the goldfish essence, so the old shrew lost the ownership of the house.
After Guanyin took the goldfish essence away, he also began to strengthen his own mind, if he was always cowardly, the small shrimp rice that he casually clicked on his head another day could be indulged, but he was also a little confused about the cultivation, because he suddenly found that he was doing ineffective work, and he worked hard enough but did not see half the results.
The appearance of Tang Monk's disciples was a glimmer of light for him, so when he saw Tang Monks and disciples hesitating on the shore as volunteers to drive them across the river, Tang Monk did not have enough funds to pay for the boat, and the old shrew was not difficult for them, only to say that he just wanted a message: he had been cultivating in the Tongtian River for thirteen hundred years, although he was light in life and could speak human language, it was always difficult to get rid of his original body shell, hoping that Tang Monk would ask Rulai after he arrived at Lingshan, when he would be able to break away from the body shell and then cultivate into a human body.
On the surface, there was nothing wrong with what the Old Shrew of Tongtong Tianhe said, but did he really just want to ask about Rulai?
The Buddhist family pays the most attention to the law of fate, and it is futile to do more things, which the old shrew should be very clear, but he is still bent on going his own way, why is this?
Because his purpose was not simple, the object he wanted to preach was not only Rulai, but also a relative of his in Lingshan.
This relative lives in the South China Sea.
When Sun Wukong went to the South China Sea to find Guanyin for help because of the red child, he encountered a turtle, and this turtle drove Guanyin's net bottle from the water, which is explained in his original work: The brave dragon Wang Xing was alive before he died, and he also carried the Buddha Monument after death. To know the name and surname of this object, stir up the wind and make evil turtles.
This sentence shows that this turtle in the South China Sea is brave and good at war, and has also been favored by the Dragon King, and the old turtle who once made waves still helps to drive the Buddha Monument after his death. It is very rare for the Turtle Clan to be able to do this step, no matter how this ancestor was before he was born, it would be very powerful to be appreciated by the people in the Spirit Mountain after death.
Now the turtle clan rivers are declining, so the old shrew also wants to tell Rulai that they turtle clan has worked hard and worked hard, and hopes that next time there will be good things to remember them, for Guanyin, the goldfish essence has made her owe something to the old shrew, and she will definitely take care of it in the future, and the old shrew has only added a heavy guarantee to Rulai's words.
