Why is the centipede essence so secretive to the old mother of LiShan and the Bodhisattva of Vilambha? The people behind it can't afford it
Ordinary people lose a fight, or suffer a loss, and are not willing, they will call for relatives and friends to come to help. What about the goblin's circle of friends?
In the myth of Journey to the West, there are many such blood-spitting plots: the lion spirit fights with Sun Wukong, eats the defeat, and shouts the Nine Spirit Yuansheng to come to cheer...
The 7 spider spirits in the Pansi Ridge, facing Tang Xuanzang, a senior monk of the Tang Dynasty who took the initiative to send him to the door, thought that they could achieve immortality, so they wanted to poison Tang Monk and steam it and eat it!
As the protagonist of the Western Heaven Sutra Taking Project, Tang Monk was surrounded not only by close disciples such as Wukong, the Eight Precepts, and Sha Monk, but also by the Three Realms Immortals such as the Four-Value Gong Cao, the Five-Party Gurudwara, the Six Dings and Six-Jia, and the Eighteen Protectors of the Dharma Garan Bodhisattva, who took turns to protect them.
The immortal dream of the 7 spider spirits is definitely difficult to achieve! Just when the spider spirit wanted to attack Tang Monk, Sun Wukong and pig eight precepts arrived in time to beat the spider spirit to the ground and rescue the master!
When the spider spirits were bathing in the Maundy Spring, they were turned into birds by Sun Wukong and took away their clothes, and they were teased in the spring by the eight precepts of the pigs who rushed to the spring, taking advantage of it, plus joining hands to fight in the group, they did not have the upper hand, and they felt very angry in their hearts, so their master brother sent a signal for help.
In the original work of the four famous works "Journey to the West", we know that the master brothers of the spider elves are called "Hundred Eyes Demon King", also known as "multi-eyed monsters", and when we hear what happened to the little masters and sisters, we are also angry, but we are very sophisticated in handling contradictions.
The Hundred Eyes Demon King first comforted the little masters and sisters: The gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, don't be impatient for the time being, and wait for him to act according to the plan!
The Tang monks and disciples defeated the spider spirit and continued westward, coming to the Yellow Flower Temple and turning their fate to the Lord. Here, it is the territory of the Hundred Eyes Demon King.
Only to see that the Hundred Eyes Demon King was not in a hurry, as if nothing had happened, he warmly entertained the Tang monks and disciples, and also brought a cup of hot tea with red dates for everyone to drink together.
As everyone knows, in these cups, the Hundred Eyes Demon King had put in advance a potent poison that he had boiled with the dung of a hundred birds, which was enough to kill Tang Monk and his disciples!
The three Monks of Tang, the Eight Precepts, and the Sand Monk were defenseless, and when they were hungry and thirsty, they took up their tea cups and drank them with dates, and all of a sudden, the 3 people spat out white foam and their eyes were full of tears.
Sun Wukong kept a heart eye, and was good at careful observation, found that the color of the red dates in the teacup was black, it didn't feel right, and found the painful expressions of the master and the master, knowing that the cup was severely poisoned.
The conspiracy and poison scheme could not see the sun at the most, and when he saw that things were revealed, the Hundred Eyes Demon King turned from outsmarting to hard attacking. He untied the Daoist robe on his body, revealing a thousand eyes under the two flanks, bursting out a piercing golden light, and pricking Sun Wukong with a copper-headed iron arm into a pustule on his forehead, and the pain was unbearable.
The Hundred Eyes Demon King's golden light was very powerful, and Sun Dasheng suffered a great loss and had to flee. On the way, I saw the old mother of Li Shan, who had transformed into a widowed woman.
Li Shan's old mother appeared this time in order to save the lives of Tang monks and disciples, but she behaved very secretly when she was transforming Tang monks and disciples. Not only did she not want to reveal her status as a god, but she also did not want Sun Wukong to know who she was and what she had said!
The old mother of Li Shan guided the way, telling Sun Wukong that one thing and one thing, wanted to take down the Hundred Eyes Demon King, and among the Three Realms, there was only Vilampa Bodhisattva in the Thousand Flowers Cave of Ziyun Mountain.
After Li Shan's old mother finished speaking, she also specifically told Sun Wukong not to say that she pointed it out!
In the myth of Journey to the West, the original form of the Hundred Eyes Demon King is only a centipede spirit, but it makes one of the 12 old mothers who are very influential in the folk, the old mother of Lishan, have some scruples!
In addition, with the development of the plot of the journey to the west, it will also be found that not only the old mother of Lishan has unspeakable secrets, but even the Vilambhava Bodhisattva, who can easily subdue the centipede spirit, is also secretive, unwilling to come forward and be nosy.
"He wears a five-flowered brocade hat and a collared gold robe. Feet on the cloud tip crested shoes, waist tied with silk double tassels... The true fruit of emptiness and emptiness was realized, and it was refined into self-indulgence. It is the Buddha in the Cave of a Thousand Flowers, and the name of Vilam Bodhisattva is high. ”
In the 73rd chapter of the original "Journey to the West", "Because of the old hatred, the heart is destroyed by the devil", it is said that Vilampa Bodhisattva has been in his cave house, hidden for more than 300 years, and has never been far away.
When Sun Wukong saw Vilambo Bodhisattva, it showed that after the Hundred Eyes Demon King poisoned his master and disciple, Vilambo bodhisattva was very surprised: I am hiding here, no one knows, how do you know that I can subdue this monster, I am hiding here?
Sun Wukong laughed and called himself a ghost in the earth, and there was nothing he didn't know, which was a prevarication of the past; but Vilambhava bodhisattva still showed reluctance: or not. I should not have gone, but the Great Sage of Naimon came down, and the goodness of the Scriptures could not be extinguished, and I went with you!
See no! 300 years ago, after attending a Obon meeting, Vilambhava had taken refuge in the side, and after Sun Wukong came to the door, she was still reluctant to be nosy.
Why is it that the famous Old Mother Lishan and Vilambo Bodhisattva in the Three Realms, in the process of saving the Tang monks and disciples, are looking forward and backward, cautious, or not very willing?
This has to be found from the identity of the Hundred Eyes Demon King and the power behind it!
In the original journey to the west, the Tang monks and apprentices came to the Huanghua Temple for the first time and saw a towering pavilion surrounded by mountains and rivers and a majestic palace.
The author, Teacher Wu Cheng'en, once described the Huanghua Temple: "Double wild deer, forgetfully idling in the green shade; to the mountain birds, flying and singing mangrove branches." Straight as Liu Nguyen Tiantai Cave, no less than the Immortal Lang Yuan family. ”
"Straight as the rooftop cave, no less Than Lu Yuan's family." The "Tiantai" in this sentence refers to the Tiantai Mountain in Zhejiang, Liu Chen and Ruan Zhaoshan were lost while collecting medicine, encountered two fairies to stay, stayed for half a year, and the two returned home, and the descendants have passed 7 generations; the term "Langyuan" refers to the Langfeng Mountain at the peak of the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, which is the fairyland where the immortals live.
So, who is the master of such a fairy garden scenery Andhuanghua Temple? It's the centipede spirit!
Looking at the main hall inside the Yellow Flower Temple, who is worshipping? "Sanqing" icon!
From these details, we will know what Mother Lishan and Vilambhava are worried about. Only the spider essence and the centipede spirit did, one occupied the mud spring used by the seven immortals for bathing, the fairy goddess did not want to worry about it; the other had its own dojo, the Yellow Flower Temple, which showed that the centipede spirit was not simple.
The centipede spirit knew that tang monks and disciples of the Western Heavens were the most important thing in the Three Realms at present, but he still dared to continue to poison them, which showed that he was not afraid of tang monks and disciples, and he was not afraid of the forces behind tang monks.
Looking at the Three Realms, which big guy dares to be so "arrogant"? In the "Evolution of the Fengshen Gods", the 3 disciples of Hongjun Laozu were involved in the Great War of the Fengshen Gods, and the two sects led by the Yuan Shi Tianzun and the Tongtian Sect Lord had fought fiercely.
In the Ten Thousand Immortals Array, the Master of the Tongtian Sect once single-handedly dueled against the Four Saints of the East and the West, namely Yuan Shi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, Quasi-Ti Dao, and The Guide.
Observing the spells and deeds of the Centipede Spirit, he should be under the Biyou Gate of the Master of the Tongtian Sect, who was not his master, but also his master!
In the Network, there is a view that after the end of the canonization of the gods, the Master of the Tongtian Sect became the Lingbao Tianzun in the Three Qings.
It is not difficult to understand the cautious handling of Old Mother Lishan and Vilambhava Bodhisattva! A mere centipede spirit is not a problem, but the power behind him is really not good!
Unwinding is beneficial, but originality is not easy.
