Text/Walking with a snail
One
Recently, there is a question on the Internet that is particularly hot, some people asked, pig eight commandments were once the marshal of the canopy, the leader of the hegemonic side, there must be many acquaintances in the sky. Every time the team encounters difficulties, why does Sun Wukong always go to heaven to please?
In this regard, some people say that the eldest brother never speaks in the second brother, which is the rule of the jianghu. Sun Wukong is the master brother, and no matter how confused the Eight Precepts of the Pig are, it is impossible to rob the master brother's style.
Is this really the case? Of course not! On the way to the scriptures, the Eight Precepts of the Pig have robbed the monkeys of their credit more than once, and even provoked dissension many times, hoping to take the monkeys away from their own positions.
In the thin alley, Sun Wukong knocked down the python, and he took a few steps forward to build the snake's body into a thin mess, and repaid the merit in front of the Tang monk. Sun Wukong used sleepy worms to stun the Nanshan Leopard Essence, and it was he who rushed in to kill the monster and snatched the credit.
The four saints tried to meditate, and the monkey knew the truth but did not tell him, causing him to lose a big ugly, and the idiot had a grudge in his heart. Therefore, when he was three dozen white bone essences, he deliberately provoked the contradiction between Tang Monk and Sun Wukong, and finally took the monkey away and became a master brother himself.
The first job he took on after taking office was to catch the yellow-robed monster and save the Hundred Flowers. Unexpectedly, he angered the yellow-robed monster, turned the Tang monk into a tiger, and tied the sand monk to the back hole. The little white dragon turned into a palace maid to assassinate the monster, and was also injured in the thigh.
At this critical moment, the Eight Precepts could be like monkeys, inviting rescue soldiers to the Heavenly Court to satisfactorily solve this problem, and the position of his master brother would be stable. But he did not do this, preferring to risk being humiliated and going to Huaguo Mountain to invite monkeys.
Don't you think it's strange?
After Sun Wukong returned to the team, he still couldn't win the Yellow Robe Monster, so he repeated the trick, and went to the Heavenly Court to find out that he was the Kui Timber Wolf Netherworld, and asked the Jade Emperor to send twenty-seven stars to summon the Yellow Robe Monster back to the Heavenly Court.
These twenty-seven stars are much lower than the marshals of the canopy, and the eight precepts of the pig can shout at them. But why didn't the idiot directly go to heaven to rescue the soldiers like Sun Wukong?
Some people say that the eight precepts of the pig are acquaintances in heaven, and the human feelings have borrowed too much, it is really difficult to repay, and the pig has been bad and understands best. And Sun Wukong is an enemy in heaven and can play a rogue, so he has no scruples.
Some people say that the old pig is transparent, which is called the public affairs do not borrow private feelings, and the brothers' affairs spare no effort.
……
These are everyone's imaginations, in fact, it is not that the eight precepts of the pig do not want to go to heaven, but that he has lost one thing and cannot go to heaven!
Two
Let's first look at what are the necessary conditions for heaven.
First of all, it must be able to soar, otherwise the distance is so far, even if you bring dry food in the middle, you will be starved to death. This is no problem for Sun Wukong, no problem for the Eight Precepts of Pigs, and his Tengyun technology is not lagging behind the monkey at all.
The second condition is that there must be a pass!
The third time in the original work, Sun Wukong kicked the Di Mansion in the Dragon Palace, angered the Jade Emperor, and sent the Heavenly Soldier Heavenly General to him. But the ability is not good, and it is eaten one after another. There was no way, the Jade Emperor had to follow the advice of Taibai Venus and recruit Sun Wukong to become an official in heaven.
As the saying goes, if you can't win, you can join. And Sun Wukong won the fight and agreed to join. The reason for this is that he has never been to heaven, just like many of us have never been to the capital, and when we have the opportunity, we want to play it, and the right thing to do is travel.
The monkeys were reluctant to let Sun Wukong go, and the Monkey King said to them, I will explore the way first, and come back to take you to the group to play. Fly with the wings.
His douyun is equivalent to a sports car with a 4T displacement, a Tengyun of Taibai Venus that came to Huaguoshan to announce the order, and an official car with an displacement of 2.0, how can it catch up? Therefore, Sun Wukong rushed to the South Heavenly Gate early.
However, the Seven Heavenly Kings were preparing to make black acid for a sheep at the South Heavenly Gate, when they saw a wild monkey running up, they immediately took the security stick and scolded him to roll away.
Sun Wukong's lungs were all blown up, and he said that he would let me become an official in heaven, but he wouldn't even let me in the door. Labor is gone! Laborers want to return to the countryside to become the king of the mountains.
When he was preparing to return home, fortunately, the old lady Bai arrived and quickly explained to him:
"The king was furious. You have never been to this heaven, but you have no name, and the heavens do not know you, so how can he let you trespass? When you see Tianzun now, give xianlu, note the official name, and follow you in and out backwards, who will re-block it? ”
Originally, the conditions of heaven must be awarded the Heavenly Basket, that is, it must be written into the roster of cadres, and the cadre department will then notify the list to the four heavenly gates, and you can scan the code and enter freely.
Sure enough, after Sun Wukong became Bow Ma Wen, even if he made two big troubles in the Heavenly Palace and went down to the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Soldier Heavenly General did not stop him. (It seems that there are big loopholes in the management of the Heavenly Court.) ）
Also degraded, Sun Wukong is very different from the Eight Precepts of pigs. Sun Wukong was slapped down by Rulai, but his immortal basket was still there, and the official position of Qi Tian dasheng had not yet been waived. Therefore, he was free to enter the Heavenly Palace.
The Eight Precepts of the Pig were different, he was not only severely beaten with two thousand hammers and stripped of his official position, but also took away his identity card from his waist, threw it into the mortal world and did not even keep his flesh, becoming a monster with a pig's head.
It can be seen that even if the Eight Precepts of the Pig want to go to heaven, they do not have a pass to enter the South Heavenly Gate. This is also the reason why Sun Wukong promised to let the monkeys take them to the heavens to play a trick, until he went to the Western Heavens to become a fighting Buddha and did not achieve it - the pass is not easy to do!
Three
If it was just a pass, the Eight Precepts of the Pig interceded with the Seven Heavenly Kings in the name of the Scripture Project, or let Rulai Guanyin call the Jade Emperor and write a note, believing that it was still possible to enter the Heavenly Palace, but several other things were the key to preventing him from moving to heaven to save the soldiers.
The first obstacle is the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor had brought him down from the Heavenly Court in a punitive manner and stripped him of his official position. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the emperor did not pardon his crimes, the offending officials could not arbitrarily advocate returning to the capital, and if they returned, they would be killed. The Eight Precepts of the Pig did not dare to take this risk, and the pig's head could not be saved at that time.
The second obstacle is the former subordinates. Before, he was mighty in front of them, but now he was looking like a pig's head, what did the old subordinates think? What do former colleagues think? How to mix in the circle of friends in the Heavenly Garden in the future? I can't afford to lose face!
The third obstacle is Chang'e. Snail has analyzed it in previous articles, Chang'e is not the master of the Moon Palace, just a waiter, and has been with the Eight Precepts of the Pig for many years. But that night, he somehow shouted and called the pickets over, which directly led to his dismissal.
Is this a conspiracy? Is there anyone behind him who wants to him? In the past, he had to be groomed, but now he has become ugly, will he be made worse?
The fourth obstacle is whether he can still bring in the rescue troops. Even if the Jade Emperor didn't blame him, his canopy marshal had already been occupied by someone else. The immortals usually look at the sky, and they are very cattle. Now his identity is just a small migrant worker in the sutra team, and he still has a case background, which immortal is still willing to help him? Even if it was an old subordinate in the past, as long as the current canopy marshal did not nod, he did not dare to go to the netherworld privately.
Based on these several reasons, the Eight Precepts of the Pig certainly did not dare to go to heaven easily. But Sun Wukong is different, first, there is no concept of face, and the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Second, if you are disobedient, you will fight, even if it is the Jade Emperor, you dare to threaten to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace again if you do not cooperate.
Such a plague god, who dares to provoke?
It can be seen that the poor are afraid of the horizontal, the horizontal are afraid of the stunned, and the stunned are afraid of not dying. Man does not want faces, ghosts, no, gods and immortals are afraid. When encountering Sun Wukong, this scoundrel, all the cumbersome systems, regulations, and procedures are all hell, and the masters of the Heavenly Court only have the share of obedient cooperation, otherwise their butts will be broken.
After the success of the sutra, we can see that even if the Eight Precepts tried to restrain desires, even if he surrendered to the old system, even if he took on the burden of rough work throughout the whole process, in the end there was no official reinstatement, and only a temporary post was made an emissary of the altar. As soon as he protested, he was coldly reprimanded by Rulai's sentence "How is it not good".
On the other hand, Goku is not afraid of offending the leader, not afraid of others saying, and even at the risk of being chanted tightly, he will kill those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and eventually become a Buddha.
As one of Snail's best friends said, some people say that you are in the limelight, and some people who do not say that you are not capable of playing. Instead of being scolded for being wasted, it is better to throw away your arms and let go, at least the achievements are there, and you can also bargain when evaluating merit awards. Otherwise, you've been scolded for a year, and at the end of the year nothing has fallen.
