In "Journey to the West", there are many mysterious gods and immortals, such as Sun Wukong's mentor Bodhi Laozu, such as the Wuchao Zen master who favors the Eight Precepts of the Pig. However, there is only one mysterious mortal in the whole book, and this person is Yuan Shoucheng, who is a fortune teller in Chang'an City. In the ninth episode of the original work, it is described that he was born with "strange appearance and beautiful appearance", can know the before and after, and is good at breaking yin and yang.
The reason why Yuan Shoucheng is mysterious is that he disappeared after he became famous and there was no more news. Some people think that Yuan Shoucheng continued to walk in all directions, to tell fortunes, or to go into the mountains to continue practicing. In fact, this half-immortal did not have a good life after successfully eliminating the Jinghe Dragon Queen, and it was even likely that he had been punished by heaven.
We all know that the Dragon King of Jinghe made a bet with Yuan Shoucheng on the rainfall in Chang'an City. The reason why the Jinghe Dragon King was killed was because he wanted to win this gambling match, so he did not obey the Jade Emperor's heavenly will, postponed the rain time by an hour, and withheld the rainfall of three feet and eight points.
The Dragon King of Jinghe "disobeyed orders and disrespected", violated the Heavenly Rules, and was eventually beheaded by Wei Zheng, his crimes were beyond doubt, yuan Shoucheng did not have any problems at all? It was not an exaggeration for him to point out the location of the net to the fisherman, but it was not right to tell the Jade Emperor's heavenly will of rain a day in advance, which was called "leaking the heavenly machine".
Since ancient times, leaking the heavenly opportunity is also a felony, and Yuan Shoucheng is also clear about this, and his heart is clear. At that time, after the Dragon King of Jinghe changed the time and amount of rainfall, he rushed to smash Yuan Shoucheng's stall and wanted to throw him out of Chang'an City. Yuan Shoucheng looked at him and tossed, sneering, "I'm not afraid!" I'm not afraid! I have no capital offense, but I'm afraid you have a capital offense!" ”
From the sentence "I have no capital offense", it can be seen that Yuan Shoucheng believes that he is guilty, and this crime is "leaking the heavenly opportunity", but compared to the "disobedience and disobedience" of the Jinghe Dragon King, his crime is not the most heinous crime, and he should not be killed without forgiveness and decided. It's just that although the capital crime is not escaped from the crime of living, although Yuan Shoucheng has killed the Jinghe Dragon King, his life is certainly not good, although there is no detail in the "Journey to the West", but it can be imagined.
