After the monkey was crushed by the Five Elements Mountain, what small conspiracies did the two sides of Buddhism and Dao engage?

author:Prehistoric humans who are not annoying

After the Antian Conference, Rulai was very happy, and returned to Lingshan to tell his subordinates with great interest about the recovery of the demon monkey, and later said that the Jade Emperor invited him to sit as the chief at the banquet.

After the monkey was crushed by the Five Elements Mountain, what small conspiracies did the two sides of Buddhism and Dao engage?

As a big man in the West, he will definitely not be complacent for submitting to a little monster who is much lower than his generation.

He was happy for another reason.

What do immortals need most? It's longevity. Immortals all have a long lifespan, but not all of them are immortal.

Immortals have many levels, and the vast majority of immortals have three calamities and five tribulations, and they need a longer lifespan to cultivate the Tribulation and transition to more advanced immortals. The higher the level of the immortal, the longer the lifespan. Only the immortals at the top of the true pyramid can live the same life as heaven and earth.

So what can extend the life of the immortals? Peach, elixir, ginseng fruit. Therefore, these three things are very important to the vast majority of immortals, and can be said to be the foundation of the rule of the Heavenly Court.

After the monkey was crushed by the Five Elements Mountain, what small conspiracies did the two sides of Buddhism and Dao engage?

The result of this monkey's disturbance of the Heavenly Palace was that the peach and elixir of the Heavenly Court lost a lot, resulting in the foundation of the Heavenly Court being severely damaged.

At this time, Rulai's heart was actually brewing a bigger plan------ a plan to learn from the scriptures. That is to directly spread Buddhism in the base area of Taoism, brazenly robbing believers and users, which is equivalent to drawing salaries from the bottom of Taoism.

It is recorded in the Journey to the West: "Since the good ape, after An Tian, I don't know the year, and I expect that there will be half a thousand years in the mortal world..."

When the meeting was held inside Lingshan, it said:

"I, the one who is not greedy or killing, nourishes the spirit of the spirit, although it is supremely true, everyone has a solid life; But those who are greedy and happy, kill and fight, the so-called verbal murder field, is not the sea of evil. I have three canons, which can persuade people to be good. ”

For example, it was only after more than five hundred years of the Antian Assembly that the plan to find the sutra taker was made public, and this time the task of the sutra taker fell to his second disciple, Jin Chanzi.

Such a high-profile announcement with such fanfare is like a mission that cannot fail. We also saw later that in the process of obtaining sutras, the Tang monks received various escorts provided by the two major groups of Buddhism and Taoism.

In fact, all this was the result of a cruel game between Lingshan and the Heavenly Court.

In the more than five hundred years that Sun Wukong was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, Rulai had already started the plan to obtain scriptures, but the previous plans were very low-key, and every time they were obstructed by the Heavenly Court, they suffered a tragic failure.

Everyone should remember the nine skeletons that the sand monk hung around his neck when he was a demon in the Quicksand River.

After the monkey was crushed by the Five Elements Mountain, what small conspiracies did the two sides of Buddhism and Dao engage?

The sand monk said, "Whoever eats his head, throws down quicksand, sinks to the bottom of the water." This water, goose feathers can not float. Only the skeletons of the nine scripture takers floated on the surface of the water and could no longer sink. I thought it was a foreign object, so I wore the rope in one place and played with it in my spare time. ”

The sand monk made it clear that these nine skeletons were nine sutra takers, and the Tang monk happened to be a good person in the tenth life, then these nine skeletons may be the previous life of the Tang monk.

The sand monk is the general of the curtain and the personal guard of the Jade Emperor.

In Journey to the West, he has his own words to blow himself.

"Three thousand meritorious worship to the heavens, and the ambition is towards the direction of Minghua. The Jade Emperor was promoted and personally crowned as a curtain general. In the South Heavenly Gate, I am honored, and I am called in front of the Lingxiao Hall. ”

Although there is an element of bragging, at least the people around the Jade Emperor are also well-informed people. After all, he had participated in the peach meeting and had seen ginseng fruit. (Sun Wukong didn't know ginseng fruit at the beginning)

Let's not mention whether the combat power is high or not, at least the people around the Jade Emperor are trustworthy people.

But such a person, because he broke a glass cup at the Peach Meeting, was demoted to the lower realm, and was tortured, this reason is a little unreasonable. Let's look at what he did later, eating nine scripture takers. I prefer to believe that his disparagement was just a rhetoric for the real purpose of performing some important mission of confidentiality.

Only trusted people are entrusted with important, confidential tasks.

At that time, there was something more important to the Jade Emperor than robbing and killing the scripture collectors. So for an inexplicable reason, let the Jade Emperor's personal bodyguard go to the Liusha River squatting point, because this is the only way to the Western Heaven, and the people who take the scriptures are mortals, even if they are high-ranking monks, they are also mortals, and the roller shutter will solve this matter is not a big problem.

This plan of the Jade Emperor was very successful, sniping Rulai nine times.

The Jade Emperor was actually a person with a very deep Dao. As mentioned in previous articles, he had long seen that Sun Wukong was a disciple trained by the Buddhist side, a pawn released by his opponent to harass him, but he did not pick things up, but let Rulai submit the monkey himself.

Now he is aggressively trying to carry out a plan to obtain scriptures, so that the Jade Emperor cannot bear it. If you secretly and quietly engage in it, don't think that I don't know, I don't tear my face with you, I will engage in sneaky assassination, at least in the past, the roller shutter general is no longer a person from the Heavenly Court, he is just a monster now, and what he does has nothing to do with the Heavenly Court.

So what was the reaction from the Spirit Mountain side?

Yes, after all, the strength of Lingshan's side is like the sky, and it is very confident. The means taken do not need to be so skillful, find a less clever excuse, and just go hard.

Who did they send?

The answer is the Lion Spirit.

After the monkey was crushed by the Five Elements Mountain, what small conspiracies did the two sides of Buddhism and Dao engage?

That's right, it's the lion spirit from Lion Moose Ridge.

He did a very uncreative thing, that is, under the pretext of the queen mother and mother to set up a peach conference, invite the immortals, but did not invite him. He speared and wanted to fight with heaven. Saying that the Jade Emperor sent 100,000 heavenly soldiers to capture him, he made a change, opened his blood basin and mouth, like a city gate, to swallow 100,000 heavenly soldiers. The frightened Heavenly Soldiers did not dare to fight and closed the South Heavenly Gate.

Swallowed 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers in one mouthful, it was blown out by himself, in fact, the Jade Emperor was helpless, and the Heavenly Soldier Heavenly General closed the South Heavenly Gate and did not want to fight with him.

If you think about it, the Lion Spirit is the driver of Manjushri. The West Queen Mother Peach Festival, invited by people with heads and faces, Manjushri may still be eligible to participate, and the Lion Spirit A monster from Lion Moose Ridge asked to participate in the Peach Festival, this reason is too funny.

Coupled with the last peach meeting, the monkey stole a lot of peaches, resulting in a limited number of peaches this time, and it is even less likely to invite unrelated people.

Then he ran to the South Heavenly Gate with a monster near the Spirit Mountain to spread the wilderness and scare off 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers. The Jade Emperor knew that this was Lingshan's warning to him to rob and kill the sutra collectors, but no matter how Buddhism was in the sky, it was not good to have a frontal conflict with him. After all, the lion spirit, like the roller shutter general, is also a demon who escapes the nether realm, at least on the surface, Buddhism can throw off the pot.

The Jade Emperor had no choice but to let the flying sword go through the chest of the sand monk every seven days for more than a hundred times, which was regarded as an explanation to Lingshan. The sand monk is a sensible subordinate, and even so, he still sticks to the Quicksand River. Later, it was Guanyin who told the flying sword not to wear him, noting that Guanyin was a Buddhist person.

Rulai knew that without the consent of the Jade Emperor, it would be impossible for the person who took the scriptures as a mortal to step out of his sphere of influence. It seems that it is not feasible to secretly implement the scripture acquisition plan, it is better to get it to the table to negotiate the conditions, and strive to negotiate a win-win situation, so that both of them are beneficial, so that the Heavenly Court will not obstruct the scripture acquisition plan in every possible way.

Judging from the final result, the two sides must have reached an agreement and jointly supported the plan to learn the scriptures, so that Rulai announced this decision in a high-profile manner at the Lingshan Conference. In the end, with the help of the Buddhist and Dao families, the Tang monks overcame many difficulties, reached Lingshan and obtained the true sutra.
