When Sun Wukong was three hundred and forty-two years old, one day, a feast was held at Huaguoshan Mountain, and on a whim, he drank a few more drinks, drank dizzy, unconsciously fell asleep, and had a strange dream.
In the dream, there were two people, black and white, pulling him, and the beautiful monkey king of the flower and fruit mountain, and the arrogant man, actually followed the steps of the two inexplicably, until he came to a majestic and gloomy city.
Sun Wukong looked up and was shocked to find that there was an iron plate hanging on the city, on which were written three big characters- The Nether Realm.
Upon seeing these three words, Sun Wukong suddenly woke up and asked the two people who pulled him: "The Nether Realm is the place where King Yan lives, why did you bring me here?" ”
The two said, "Your Yang life is over, and the two of you have been sent from above to seduce you." ”
Sun Wukong was furious: "Aren't you guys here!" Lao Sun has already practiced the art of immortality, beyond the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements, why do you hook my soul? ”
Unexpectedly, those two people only performed their official duties and did not listen to Sun Wukong's explanation at all. In a fit of rage, Sun Wukong took out a golden hoop stick, beat the two into meat sauce, and then killed them into the Yan Luo Temple, tampered with the Book of Life and Death, and prepared to kill them outside the city.
In the course of the fierce fight, suddenly, Sun Wukong felt top-heavy and fell forward violently, originally stumbling on a grass knot and falling.
This fall made Sun Wukong scream and wake up suddenly.
It turned out that everything was a dream, and Sun Wukong told the monkeys and monkeys at that time.
But in fact, Sun Wukong later learned that this was not a dream. He was indeed ghosted by the ghost, and all this happened, but it was all done by the soul, so he mistakenly thought it was a dream.
This also means that Sun Wukong actually died once, but he made a big fuss in the Yan Luo Temple and tampered with the book of life and death, so he was able to rise from the dead and come back to life.
Therefore, some readers are curious, as Sun Wukong said, he has already practiced the art of immortality, why did Yan Wangye still send ghosts to seduce his soul?
Some people believe that Sun Wukong did learn the art of immortality, but did not practice this technique, because he had not yet completed his studies, and was driven down the Lingtai Fangzhi Mountain by the Bodhi Ancestors. Since he has not yet practiced the art of immortality, of course, he cannot be immortal, so he will be ghosted by ghosts.
In fact, according to the original setting, Sun Wukong should have practiced the art of immortality. If he hadn't practiced it, when Grandmaster Bodhi drove him down the mountain, he would have mentioned this, after all, he had only one purpose in learning the art of learning from his master, that is, to learn the art of immortality. But he didn't say a word at the time.
In fact, there is a dialogue in the original work, which is enough to show that Sun Wukong has refined the art of immortality.
In the second time of the original work, Bodhi Grandmaster taught Sun Wukong the art of immortality, and three years later, he asked Sun Wukong, "How have you been practicing in the past few years?" ”
Sun Wukong replied, "Disciples have recently gained a lot of understanding of the Dharma, and their roots have gradually become stronger. ”
Grandmaster Bodhi said, "Since you have mastered the Dharma, you will attain the root cause, and you have already focused on the divine body, but you are only guarding against the 'three plagues and harms.'" ”
The so-called three plagues refer to the three kinds of heavenly calamities descended from the heavenly test of the immortals. Since Sun Wukong only needed to guard against the three plagues, he had naturally practiced the art of immortality.
The reason why Sun Wukong has already practiced the Art of Immortality, but he will still be seduced by ghosts, is actually very simple, which can be seen from the tricks of the ImmortalIty Technique.
According to the second time in the original work, the second three or four sentences of the Elixir technique are: All come to the spirit of the spirit, and carefully hide the leakage. Hugh leaked, the body was hidden, and Ru was taught by me to spread the word from Chang. How beneficial it is to memorize the recipe, and to cool off evil desires.
To cultivate the art of immortality, it is necessary to maintain a fresh and pure spirit and abandon all evil desires, did Sun Wukong do this?
When he was practicing under the Bodhi Patriarch, he practiced quietly and meditated every day, and obviously he had already done it, so he could practice the art of growth.
However, after descending the mountain, he had already thrown Qing Xiu out of the cloud of nine clouds, eating and drinking every day, indulging in indulgence, how could he still maintain an immortal physique? So it will be ghosted by ghosts. What do you think?
