Chinese culture has been up and down for 5,000 years, and it can be said that there have been many excellent cultures and works in it, such as "Journey to the West", which has been put on TV and movie screens many times, is one of them, and the most classic in the mainland is the 86 version of Journey to the West.
Especially the four masters and apprentices who are the protagonists, if you have to choose one of them with the strongest will to learn from the scriptures, it must be Tang Seng, but in fact, Tang Seng has already broken the vows in the daughter country.
So, why didn't Tang Seng, who had already broken the vow, stay, and how did he break the vow?

"Journey to the West", a name that we are familiar with, must be familiar to everyone, although few people may read the original work, but everyone must have seen all kinds of TV series or movies that have been remade.
For example, the most classic 86 version of "Journey to the West" not only brings us a vivid Monkey King character, but also the four masters and apprentices have their own characteristics, each with different personality characteristics.
Monkey King, our own superhero who belongs to our Chinese, Zhu Bajie, who is happy with Brother Monkey, Sha Monk who is honest, and Tang Xuanzang, who is bent on seeking Buddha and not afraid of hardships.
It can be said that everyone in this scripture-learning team composed of four people is not simple, Monkey King, Marshal Tianpeng and General Rolling Blinds, each name is well-known, even Tang Seng is a very powerful existence.
Tang Seng was originally the reincarnation of the golden cicada, and there may be many people who think that the so-called golden cicada is actually known, but in fact, it is not.
In the main reference material of "Journey to the West", "Journey to the West Miscellaneous Drama", Tang Seng's previous life was "Venerable Viluga of the Western Heavens", which means the sun, so the translated meaning is the Buddha who illuminates the world like the sun.
And this golden cicada is not a known cicada, it is likely to mean a tiger, in "Zuo Chuan", "Chu people are tigers for the tiger", and in Qu Yuan's "Tianwen", there is also a ghost-eating tiger on the moon.
But after a long time, it became the original Yu Yu and became a rabbit and a toad, so the golden cicada should actually be a golden toad, that is, a golden tiger, including the only time that Tang Seng was turned into an animal in the whole book by the Kui wood wolf, and it is also the image of a tiger.
Therefore, the golden cicada should actually be a Buddha who illuminates all things like the sun, and it is also a tiger prototype and a tiger that has a deep fate with the Buddha.
[▶> Hero Sad Beauty Pass <◀]
As the saying goes, "heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass", although everyone has a love for beauty, but there are indeed not a few heroes in the world who are folded in the hands of beauties.
When Director Yang Jie led the crew to shoot Journey to the West, all the female characters in it were all beauties, but Brother Monkey was even more attractive, and he patronized the monkey when he watched the TV series when he was a child.
Later, when I grew up and watched it again, I realized Director Yang Jie's good intentions, and indeed the female characters in it are all beautiful women, and even the elderly ladies are also very temperamental actors.
When I watched "Journey to the West" at that time, I felt that the catastrophe in my daughter's country was the simplest, but now I look back and find that this is the saddest catastrophe.
In fact, in the end, Tang Seng was able to pass this hurdle, completely relying on his own determination to seek Buddha, because there are no monsters in the daughter country, there are people here, and the queen who left him is just a mortal who is emotional to him.
Therefore, Sun Wukong, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, can not help much in the face of such a situation, and can only rely on Tang Seng's own will to overcome it.
The king of the daughter country is actually a very qualified monarch, she is not only the original book that made Tang Seng "tremble and tremble", but also looked at Her Majesty the Queen and "seemed to be intoxicated" beauty, and she knew how to be sophisticated when writing customs clearance documents.
The previous four masters and apprentices passed by many places, and many people were afraid of the appearance of the three apprentices around Tang Seng, even if they finally knew that these three people were not bad people, the names of these three people would not be written on the customs clearance documents.
Only the king of the daughter country not only stamped the customs clearance documents, but also wrote the names of the three apprentices, which directly raised the status of the three people in one fell swoop.
[▶> broke the three precepts in a row<◀]
In fact, Tang Seng was very fortunate to be able to walk out of his daughter's country in the end, because compared to those external threats, only inner vacillation and instability are the biggest variables.
Especially for Tang Seng with a special identity, he is not only a monk from the Tang Dynasty, but also the reincarnation of the golden cicada who was enlightened by the Bodhisattva to go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, which can be said to be an existence that everyone has given high hopes.
At that time, when they arrived in Xiliang's daughter country, because they were thirsty, all of the four masters and apprentices drank water, except for Sun Wukong, but they didn't expect that the water of this Zimu River could make people pregnant directly.
So Sun Wukong immediately went to get the spring water of the fetal spring, although Sun Wukong went immediately, but before leaving, he touched Tang Seng's belly, which was like a moving piece of meat, plus drinking this water, he could give birth to a child in three days.
Therefore, the child in Tang Seng's belly has already been formed, but he drank it directly after getting the water handed over by Sun Wukong, which can be said to have violated the killing precept in the Buddhist precepts and directly strangled a new life.
After the master and apprentice entered the daughter country, the king moved the idea of marrying Tang Seng, and finally became a relative, and it was inevitable to drink a glass of wine when they became married.
In the book, Wu Chengen wrote "Three hidden, but also a jade cup, and the queen settled", so Tang Seng also drank wine, which is undoubtedly a broken vow.
Although the last precept is the foundation for Tang Seng to escape, it is actually a precept that Tang Seng has broken more than once, that is, "monks do not lie".
At that time, in order to get out, Tang Seng and Sun Wukong deceived the king of the daughter country together, and did not regret it until the customs clearance document was covered, and finally left the daughter country in every possible way.
But in fact, at the beginning, he lied in order to let the monkey wear a golden hoop, saying that if he wore this hat, he could recite the scriptures without learning, and he would bow without learning, but it turned out to be a prison that Sun Wukong could not take off until after the Western Heavens.
In fact, no matter what kind of difficulties, what comes from the outside is secondary, and the most difficult thing to overcome is not the so-called "beauty pass", but a person's own inner pass.
In fact, no matter whether Tang Seng has broken the vows or not, everyone has their own ideas in their hearts, and there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand readers, and it is precisely different opinions that can constitute a collision of different ideas.
