Guanyin Bodhisattva's mount, the Golden Retriever, chose the Badger Cave? Who is his original form?

After 14 years of westward travel, the Tang monks and apprentices came to Yuhuazhou in tianzhu kingdom, and had an unexpected harvest, and Wukong, the eight precepts and the sand monk, who had always been an apprentice, were also upgraded to become masters.

In the myth of Journey to the West, the only apprentices of the 3 people xi tianlu were the 3 little princes of Yuhuazhou. Among them, Sun Wukong ranked the eldest, and the one who received the big prince was the one who accepted it, and the weapon was used with an ordinary Qi Mei stick; the second elder of the eight precepts was accepted by the second prince, and the weapon was used by the ordinary nine-tooth palladium; the sand monk was ranked third, and the weapon received was the third prince, and the weapon used was an ordinary black stick of black oil.

So-called: the water rises and the firewood is high. Since Goku, the Eight Precepts, and the Sand Monk had accepted the 3 little princes as apprentices, they had to teach martial arts, pass on karma to solve puzzles, and not waste a master-apprentice relationship.

Before the transmission of the art, Goku, the Eight Precepts and the Sand Monk took out their own innate artifacts to create a decent weapon for each of their disciples, but they caused a "storm".

The golden hoop sticks, nine-toothed nail palladium and demon-descending scepters from the team were placed in the blacksmith shop, but because they bloomed at night, they attracted the attention of the yellow lion spirit in the Tiger Mouth Cave of Leopard Head Mountain.

Coveting these magic weapons, the Yellow Lion Spirit used a gust of yin wind to steal weapons such as golden hoop sticks into the cave, and also invited Zu Weng Nine Spirit Yuansheng to hold a "palladium banquet" in the name of it.

Before the "palladium banquet" organized by the Yellow Lion Spirit began, Sun Wukong flattened the cave house, and the whole family was burned to death.

In order to avenge the Yellow Lion Essence, the Nine Spirits Yuansheng ordered various lion essences such as the Snow Lion, Bai Ze, and the Elephant To surround the Yuhua Continent, and the Nine Spirits Yuansheng's team camp had strong mana, and finally opened its mouth nine mouths, and captured the Tang monks, the Eight Precepts and the Sand Monk, the King's father and son, and others to the Ten Thousand Souls Bamboo Festival Mountain, the Nine-Curved Panhuan Cave.

Qitian Great Sage Sun Wukong had extraordinary skills, and after escaping from the lion mouth of the Nine Spirits Yuansheng, he came to the Heavenly Garden Miaoyan Palace and found the master of the Nine Spirits Yuansheng, Tai Yi, to save the Suffering Heavenly Zun, surrendered him, and brought him back to the palace.

The Nine Spirits Yuansheng was taiyi's mount to save the suffering Heavenly Dignity, and he shouted that he could go up to the Three Saints and go down to the Nine Springs, and he was a true spirit who had cultivated the Tao for a long time, and he was very honorable.

In the whole myth of Journey to the West, in addition to the Nine Spirits of the Lion Spirit, there is another lion who is very powerful, that is, the Golden Retriever, known as "Sai Tai Nian".

The 68th time in the original work of the four famous works "Journey to the West", "Zhu Ziguo Tang Monk on the Past Life, Sun Xingshi For Three Folds" chapter said that Sun Wukong pointedly pointed out the cause of King Zhu Zi's acacia disease, because he broke up with the Golden Palace Lady, and the lovesickness became a disease!

What can lead to the separation of the king of a country from his mother-in-law is the mount of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Golden Retriever.

"Tai Nian" was originally the master of one year old, divided according to the 60 jia zi of the TianganDi Branch, a total of 60 tai nian gods. He is the highest god in folk culture who is in charge of good fortune and misfortune in the world.

Ancient texts record: "He who is too old is the lord of one year (the son of heaven in the middle of the year), the leader of the gods, so he shall not commit a crime, but he who commits a crime shall be fierce."

In the Journey to the West, the Golden Retriever, nicknamed Sai Tai, looks even more fierce. When the author, Teacher Wu Cheng'en, described his appearance, he wrote: "The mask of XiaGuangsheng is on top, and the mighty and murderous qi bursts out." The fangs outside the mouth are sharply bladed, and the sideburns are scorched and emit red smoke. The whiskers on the mouth are like arrows, and the hair all over the body is like a felt. The brass bell of the eye is too old, holding an iron pestle like a sky. ”

The reason why the Golden Retriever broke up King Zhu Zi and the Lady of the Golden Sacred Palace and wanted to win people's love was because he had received the will of the Buddha Mother Peacock Daming King.

It turned out that when King Zhu Zi was still a prince, during a hunt, he shot two children born to the peacock Daming King Bodhisattva before falling on the fengpo. The Mother Buddha asked the Golden Retriever to "tear down the phoenix for three years and be infected with lovesickness" as a punishment.

In the Network, some careful readers have noticed that the cave house behind the Nether Boundary of the Golden Retriever is located in the Qilin Mountain Badger Cave.

We know that the "Qilin" is one of the six great beasts of the ancient world, and it is also one of the five spirits that represent the five directions of heaven and earth, the center of the town, the five elements belong to the earth, and its virtue is the lord of faith.

Badger, is also a kind of righteous god beast in ancient China, the large body is like an ox, the small one is like a sheep, similar to a unicorn, the eyes are bright and light, there is a horn on the forehead, can distinguish between good and evil, implying the justice of the law.

So, why would the Golden Retriever choose a dojo that is so elegant and auspicious?

In the 70th chapter of the original "Journey to the West", "Demon Treasure Puts Smoke and Sand Fire, Wukong Counts the Purple Golden Bell", it is written that the Qilin Mountain soars into the sky, the cliffs and stones phosphorus, the mountain birds swallow, and the mountain beasts roar and whirr... Although it is impossible to rely on the danger, it is a secluded place for the demon immortals.

Look at the description of the badger cave again: in the red flames of the sky, there is a vicious smoke that is more poisonous than fire: the fire bursts into a golden lamp, the flame flies a thousand red rainbows, and the smoke has blue, red, white, black and yellow. Smoke the pillar outside the South Heavenly Gate, and burn the upper beam of the Lingxiao Hall. Burned the nest of animals and rotted, and the birds in the forest were feathered. But look at this smoke so evil, how to enter the deep mountains to ambush the monster king!

From the description of Teacher Wu Cheng'en, although the Qilin Mountain and the Badger Cave are strange and dangerous, the name is good, but they are like the Monster Fairy Cave!

According to legend, the one who can cultivate into a golden retriever is a zombie that is incorruptible after death, and it takes 1500 years of cultivation to become a lion. When cultivating to a thousand years, you must go through a heavenly thunderstorm, leaving a very small number of them behind in order to become golden retrievers.

In the original work of the literary work "Fengshen Yanyi", the three great masters of the 12 Shang immortals of the Illumination Ofunjushri Guangfa Tianzun, Puxian Zhenren and Ci Hangdaoren received the disciples Qiu Shouxian (Green Hair lion), Lingya Immortal (White Elephant), and Golden Light Immortal (Golden Haired Lion) respectively.

"The four elephants meet the golden haired calves, and listen to the scriptures in the Chaoyin Cave." That is to say, in the myth of journey to the west, the prototype of this golden haired mount of Guanyin Bodhisattva is the golden light immortal of the Interception Immortal.

If it weren't for the Three Realms that opened the list of gods, Jin Guangxian was expounding the struggle between the two religions, and encountering the "Four Saints of the East and West" such as Yuan Shi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, Receiving Daoists and Quasi-Ti Dao people in the Ten Thousand Immortals Array, the "Four Saints of the East and West" Mixed Yuan Luo Golden Immortal, The cultivation of Jin Guangxian should be higher and bigger.

Under the creation of the fate of the Fengshen God, Under the arrangement of Taishang Laojun and the Antarctic Immortal, Jin Guangxian became the mount of guanyin bodhisattva among the four great bodhisattvas, and it was not easy to have a chance to have a nether free chance in the journey to the west project, how could he not choose a decent and connotative cave house!

Unwinding is beneficial, but originality is not easy.
