Hi everyone, I'm a bug world, follow me, and continue to update more reviews about literary stories!
Everyone knows Lu Zhishen's nickname, that is, Monk Hua. It's just that although Lu Zhishen is really a monk, in the eyes of the insect world, Lu Zhishen is not a serious monk.
Because as a monk, it is nothing more than eating fasting and reciting Buddha without killing, but no matter what point it is, Lu Zhishen can't do it.
I think that at the beginning, when Lu Zhishen was a monk in Wutai Mountain, he could still abide by the so-called rules and precepts at first, but after a long time, Lu Zhishen couldn't stand it, drinking wine and eating meat, once he was angry, except for Elder Zhizhen, Lu Zhishen dared to fight anyone. It is precisely because of this, precisely because Lu Zhishen is not a serious monk, that in the end, Wutai Mountain cannot accommodate him.
Since Lu Zhishen is not a serious monk, why did he choose to sit down when Lu Zhishen passed away in the end?
You must know that the so-called sitting is something that only real monks know, although Lu Zhishen used to be a monk, it can be said that he has never seen others sit down. Even, even the so-called meditation and chanting, Lu Zhishen didn't know.
In this case, where did Lu Zhishen know about sitting?
In fact, the answer was already given in the book, it turned out that long before Lu Zhishen finally sat down, or in other words, when Lu Zhishen attacked Tian Hu with Song Jiang, he had already seen another self!
In other words, when attacking Tian Hu, Lu Zhishen's performance was not outstanding at first, and even after meeting Qiong Ying, he fell into a well. And it was in this well that Lu Zhishen accidentally saw another self.
Here's what the book says:
Among them, the people are also busy there. When I saw the Sprinkle family, they just laughed. The Sprinkle family didn't ask him, just rushed in. Passing past the place where the people gathered, there was a quiet wilderness ahead, uninhabited. After a long time, I saw a hermitage. I heard the gurgling of the wooden fish in the hermitage. When the Sprinkle family walked in to see, a monk like the Sprinkle family sat cross-legged and chanted the scriptures.
In fact, when the insect world saw this description of Lu Zhishen, the first thing that came to mind was the story of Lu Zhishen who strayed into the Peach Blossom Spring. Because according to the situation described in the book, it is very similar to the story in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" that we are familiar with.
But this is not the key, the key is that in this peach blossom paradise that Lu Zhishen encountered, he met a person, that is, "a monk like the Sprinkle family".
How to understand this sentence?
Some people may say that Lu Zhishen did not meet himself, but just a fat monk.
However, there are several details in the book that can prove that what Lu Zhishen encountered was another self.
First of all, when Lu Zhishen just arrived at the Peach Blossom Paradise he encountered, all the people inside seemed to know Lu Zhishen and smiled at Lu Zhishen. This shows that what these people see is the fat monk in the Peach Blossom Garden, that is, another Lu Zhishen.
Secondly, although Lu Zhishen is rude, he has always been bold and careful, if he sees not a person who is exactly the same as himself, he will never say "a monk like the Sprinkle family", but directly say that it is a fat monk who sits cross-legged there and recites scriptures.
So, since Lu Zhishen saw another self, then from the other self, from the appearance of the fat monk sitting cross-legged and chanting, Lu Zhishen saw the appearance of the last sitting.
Because for Lu Zhishen, it is impossible to know what sitting is, just like he didn't understand what death was after hearing the tide letter. Moreover, others told Lu Zhishen that the so-called death is death, but they did not tell him that death is sitting. However, in the end, Lu Zhishen still chose to sit.
Especially the sentence "I know that I am me today", which shows that Lu Zhishen met another self at this time!
Do you think the worms are right, and if not, what do you think is the situation?
