Journey to the West: The Lord of the Three Realms has experienced 1750 times of destruction of heaven and earth, who is the Lord of the Underworld?
Text/Jiang Zi shushu
In the story of "Journey to the West", the Supreme Lord of the Three Realms is the Jade Emperor, whose full name is "The High Heavenly Saint Great Mercy, the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Emperor, the Great Heavenly Emperor, the High God of Xuan Qiong", who is the Lord of the Nine Heavens. So, why can people become the Jade Emperor? Rulai gave the answer!
When the Buddha heard this, he sneered, "Your boy is a monkey who has become a spirit, and he dares to deceive his heart and want to seize the throne of the Jade Emperor God?" He practiced since he was a child and endured 1,750 hardships. Every robbery shall be twelve thousand nine thousand six hundred years. How many years should he have to enjoy this Infinity Avenue?"
The official heard that if you let Sun Wukong count the age of the Jade Emperor, he counted it or not, we don't know, but what we know is that the catastrophe of the western journey to the world is one yuan, but the number of heavens and earth, and the "Creation will be Yuangong" at the beginning of the chapter, so the Jade Emperor is the creation and fate. So, what is the number of heavens and earth?
The number of heavens and earth is 129,600 years old for one dollar. Divide the one yuan into twelve branches, Naizi, Ugly, Yin, 卯, 辰, 巳, Noon, 未, 申, 酉, 戌, and 海之 twelve branches. Each will be eighteen hundred years old.
It turned out that the Jade Emperor was already 226.8 million years old. When Sun Wukong went down to the Heavenly Palace, he was only a few hundred years old, so it is no wonder that he was a man in his first life. Compared with the Jade Emperor, Sun Wukong's calamity was only five hundred years per disaster.
The ancestor said, "This is the extraordinary way: the creation of the heavens and the earth, the mystery of invading the sun and the moon; After Dancheng, the ghosts were intolerable. Although you are staying in Yan and longevity, after five hundred years, the thunderstorm from heaven will hit you, and you must see the clear heart and avoid it in advance. ”
Mencius: "By Yao Shun to Tang, more than five hundred years old; From Tang to King Wen, more than five hundred years old; As for Confucius, King Wen was more than five hundred years old. ”
It seems that Sun Wukong claimed to be a born saint, and what he said was true, because Yasheng Mencius said that there is a saint in the world for five hundred years, yao, shun, tang, Zhou Wenwang, and Confucius are all saints.
In the story of "Journey to the West", the co-lord of heaven and earth is the Jade Emperor, so who is the lord of the netherworld?
There are ten generations of Pluto Kings in the Western Journey World, and there are also Jizo King Bodhisattvas, and after Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the Underground Palace, the Nether Realm sought a complaint from the Jade Emperor, and Ge Xianweng Tianshi started it in this way.
Below, another Ge Xianweng Heavenly Master qi played: "Long live, there is the Emperor Qin Guang, the King of the Underworld Sect, who has entered the table of the Bodhisattva of the Underworld Sect' Lord Dizang. ”
It can be seen that in the Journey to the West world, the Yin division of the earth is called the nether realm, and the bodhisattva of the jizo king is the lord of this place.
The Taishang Laojun Says that the Heavenly Immortal Jade Lady Bixia Yuanjun Protects the World Hongji Miaojing mentions the Siege of the Giant Mountain (Daiyue Hell), the Root of Hell, the Hell of Fengdu, and the Hell of blood lake.
Many people say that the master of the Hell of The Capital is more powerful than the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo, and some people say that the Land of the Nine Shadows is under the eighteenth layer of Hell.
In fact, the eighteen layers of hell in the Western Journey World include the Hanging Rib Prison, the Ghost Prison, the Fire Pit Prison, the Fengdu Prison, the Tongue Pulling Prison, the Peeling Prison, the Grinding Prison, the Pill-Pounding Prison, the Car Crash Prison, the Cold Ice Prison, the Shelling Prison, the Sausage Hell, the Oil Pot Prison, the Dark Prison, and the Daoshan Prison.
In addition, Wei Zheng's eight worships were the judges of the capital, and the hell of the capital was also under the control of the Bodhisattva, the king of Dizang. Nine represents the largest number, and the nine ghosts are eighteen layers of hell.
The most interesting thing is that the Tang monk put on the golden robe, like a bodhisattva of the king of Jizo, and the Western Heavens took the sutra to survive death, just as the so-called:"Hell is not empty, vow not to become a Buddha", how to get empty? Nature is "Breaking the Stubborn Void and Having To Goku". The yin si said, but a thought, the number of heavens and earth, is only a thought. If you can jump out of samsara, you will not be born and will not perish.
