In ancient Eastern mythology, there is a story about the Monkey King, which reveals a profound truth. The story takes place after Sun Wukong's battle with a six-eared macaque, a duel that not only tests his strength, but also challenges his wisdom. In this battle, Sun Wukong finds himself unable to distinguish the real from the fake by conventional means. He decides to turn to Guanyin Bodhisattva, an immortal he has always considered his protector.
However, Guanyin's reaction was beyond Sun Wukong's expectations. She didn't use her perceptive eye, but tested it by chanting the Tightening Mantra. This confused Sun Wukong, because he knew that reciting the mantra could not really distinguish the true from the fake. Just when Sun Wukong was confused, Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly told him that he would go to heaven to distinguish the truth from the false.
Goku's doubts
In a contest with a six-eared macaque, Sun Wukong stands above the vast sea of clouds, and in front of him is an opponent who perfectly imitates him - the six-eared macaque. This duel is an unprecedented challenge for Sun Wukong, because no matter what moves he uses, the six-eared macaque can be accurately copied, and even his momentum and fighting style are perfectly imitated by the opponent.
Sun Wukong quickly changed his form, from a fierce tiger to an agile eagle and then to a giant dragon, but the six-eared macaque could follow closely every time, as if it were his shadow. The two crisscrossed the sky, sometimes turning into golden light, sometimes turning into thunder, and the mountains and rivers trembled.
In such an impasse, Sun Wukong realizes that strength alone cannot distinguish the true from the fake. He decided to turn to Guanyin Bodhisattva for help, believing in his heart that Guanyin's discerning eye could see everything and easily see through this puzzle. So, he turned into a golden light and went straight to the Nanhai Guanyin Nunnery.
Arriving at Guanyin Nunnery, Sun Wukong saw Guanyin Bodhisattva sitting quietly on the lotus throne with a peaceful expression. Sun Wukong knelt down in front of the Bodhisattva and pleaded: "Bodhisattva, this guy really looks like a disciple." Only from the water curtain cave to fight, the battle for a long time, regardless of victory or defeat, through the Bodhisattva's insight, and the disciples to recognize the truth and falsehood, distinguish the evil and the right. ”
Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Sun Wukong and slowly spoke: "Wukong, do you already have the answer in your heart?" Sun Wukong hesitated, but still replied: "Bodhisattva, the disciple really can't tell the difference." ”
Guanyin's response
Sun Wukong knelt in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva, his eyes revealing deep anxiety and anticipation. He came here in the hope that Guanyin Bodhisattva could use her perceptive eye to help him distinguish the truth from the six-eared macaque. However, things turned out in a way that he didn't expect.
Guanyin Bodhisattva sat on the lotus throne, her eyes calmly watching Sun Wukong. There was no ripple in her expression, like a pool of bottomless clear water, making it impossible to get a glimpse of her heart. Sun Wukong waited anxiously, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness.
However, Guanyin did not use her discerning eyes, but gently recited the mantra. Sun Wukong's forehead was immediately covered with beads of sweat, and he felt the golden hoop on his head tighten, and every tightening brought intense pain. He clutched his head in pain, unable to believe that this was Guanyin's response.
"Bodhisattva, can this mantra tell the truth from the fake?" asked Sun Wukong with difficulty as he endured the pain.
Guanyin Bodhisattva's voice was as calm as water: "Wukong, have you forgotten? In the heavenly court, all the gods will recognize you." ”
Sun Wukong's pain eased a little, he raised his head, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes: "Then ...... do you mean?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled slightly and said softly, "You can go to Heaven to find the answer yourself, Wukong." ”
When Sun Wukong heard this, although he was still a little confused, he knew that Guanyin Bodhisattva's words contained deep meanings. He didn't ask any more questions, just stood up silently and nodded his head in understanding. He turned into a golden light, soared into the sky, and flew towards the heavenly court. Although Sun Wukong's heart was full of doubts, he knew that he had to find the answer himself.
Expose the truth
Sun Wukong turned around and faced in the direction of Heavenly Court. He knew that if he wanted to find out the truth, he would have to go to Heaven in person. He turned into a golden light, soared into the sky, and flew towards the heavenly court.
After arriving in Heaven, Sun Wukong's arrival immediately caused a sensation. The immortals in the Heavenly Court were both surprised and wary of his arrival. They talked a lot, but no one dared to approach him easily.
Sun Wukong walked into the heavenly court, and his steps were firm. He went directly to the Jade Emperor's treasure hall. In front of the door of the treasure hall, he was stopped by two golden armor gods. They are all former enemies of Sun Wukong, and their eyes are full of vigilance.
The Jade Emperor walked out of the treasure hall and saw Sun Wukong with a complicated expression on his face. He asked, "Sun Wukong, what are you doing here?" Sun Wukong replied, "I came to distinguish a true and false question." ”
After hearing this, the Jade Emperor frowned. He knew that Sun Wukong was an unpredictable factor, but at the same time he was curious. Sun Wukong didn't say anything more, he turned to leave, he knew that the truth could only be found by himself.
Sun Wukong leaves Heaven and returns to the battlefield with the six-eared macaque. He knew that to solve this puzzle, he had to rely on his own strength.
Goku's enlightenment
Sun Wukong stood on the battlefield, facing the six-eared macaque, and a new understanding surged in his heart. He once thought that all the difficulties on the way to the scriptures were all tests arranged by Rulai, and that Guanyin Bodhisattva was an ally on his side. But now, everything is clear.
He recalled his conversations with Guanyin and what he had seen and heard in the heavenly court. He realized that the reason why Guanyin Bodhisattva did not use her discerning eye to distinguish between truth and falsehood was because she deliberately left this problem to the heavenly court, and she was also secretly promoting this trial. Such a discovery gave Sun Wukong a deeper understanding of the entire path of learning scriptures.
Sun Wukong faced the six-eared macaque, and the atmosphere between the two was extremely tense. Their eyes met each other, without flinching from each other. Sun Wukong raised the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick, and the six-eared macaque made the same action.
The battle broke out again, and the two engaged in a fierce exchange in the air. Their movements follow each other, and every attack is surprisingly consistent. The Monkey King uses a series of complex moves, which the six-eared macaque is able to imitate perfectly.
However, Sun Wukong's mentality has changed. Instead of seeking outside help, he decided to solve the problem with his own strength and wisdom. In this fight, he began to experiment with more unique and innovative moves, trying to find a flaw in the six-eared macaque.
The battle lasted for several hours, and the sky flashed with sparks of the two fighting. In this long duel, Sun Wukong gradually felt the difference between the six-eared macaque. He began to take advantage of these small differences, gradually gaining the upper hand.
In the end, in a fierce confrontation, Sun Wukong successfully hit the vital point of the six-eared macaque. The six-eared macaque swayed in the air, finally losing its balance and slowly falling.
Sun Wukong stood on the battlefield, gasping, observing the defeated six-eared macaque. He understands that this battle is not only a contest of strength, but also a test of wisdom and perseverance.
The six-eared macaque struggled on the ground, trying to get back to its feet. Sun Wukong walked towards him with a determined gaze. He said, "Six-eared macaque, no matter how superb your imitation is, you can't surpass your true self. ”
The six-eared macaque looked up at Sun Wukong and finally gave up resistance. He whispered, "Sun Wukong, you won." Sun Wukong nodded and replied: "This battle is not just a contest between you and me. ”
Sun Wukong turned and left, leaving the six-eared macaque lying alone on the ground.
Independent ante
Sun Wukong stood on the battlefield and looked at the six-eared macaque that fell to the ground, his eyes were firm. After experiencing a conversation with Guanyin Bodhisattva and a fierce battle with a six-eared macaque, he had a new understanding: Guanyin Bodhisattva was the mastermind of this scripture-learning disaster, and it was useless to ask her for help, which is why Guanyin could help him distinguish the real from the fake Monkey King but did not help.
Sun Wukong continued his journey along the mountain road. His steps were particularly solid on the rugged mountain trails. Along the way, he encounters all sorts of difficulties and monsters. But this time, instead of asking Guanyin for help, he relied on his wisdom and strength to solve these problems.
Whenever he encounters difficulties, Sun Wukong will stop and think deeply. He began to experiment with different methods, sometimes by stratagem, sometimes by direct force. Every challenge made him stronger and smarter.
In a confrontation with the mountain demon, Sun Wukong skillfully exploited the mountain demon's weakness and successfully subdued it. In another encounter, he engaged in a fierce battle with a group of youkai and, with his strength and intelligence, eventually emerged victorious.
Sun Wukong's reputation gradually spread among the monsters, and they all knew that this Monkey King who was havoc in the Heavenly Palace was no longer a walker who relied on the help of immortals. They began to be in awe of Sun Wukong and did not dare to come to provoke easily.
Along the way, Sun Wukong encountered various difficulties and challenges, but he faced them with a new attitude. He no longer seeks outside help, but relies on his own judgment and ability. Every challenge is exercising his will and ability.
After several days of traveling, Sun Wukong came to a steep mountain range. The trail was rough and the cliffs were steep, but he was not afraid in the slightest. He climbed step by step, overcoming one difficulty after another.
During a climb, Sun Wukong encountered a fierce mountain eagle. The mountain eagle flapped its wings and was about to attack, and Sun Wukong quickly pulled out the golden hoop stick and prepared to fight. In the fierce aerial confrontation, Sun Wukong showed amazing skills. He skillfully dodged the mountain eagle's attack and eventually succeeded in repelling it.
The Monkey King continues his journey, confident and determined at every step. He no longer sought the help of any gods, but relied on his own strength and wisdom.
