On the ancient road to learn scriptures in the west, a mysterious figure named Wuchao Zen Master once said that Sun Wukong knew the way to learn scriptures. What the hell is going on?
Starting from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, all the way west, to the distant kingdom of Tianzhu, this is an unprecedented magnificent journey. The four Tang monks and apprentices we are familiar with, plus a white horse, a team of five people, embarked on this legendary journey. But in this story, there is a character that cannot be ignored - Wuchao Zen Master.
Speaking of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, although he once came to Lingshan in the clouds and fog, it was all a hurried experience, and he was actually not familiar with the real walking route. Wuchao Zen Master's words made people have to re-examine the past of this monkey king.
Zen Master Wuchao, a mysterious master, his appearance is always a little legendary. In the Wusi Tibetan realm near Gao Laozhuang, when the Tang monks and apprentices were frightened and didn't know what the road ahead was, the Zen master suddenly mentioned that Wukong knew the way to learn the scriptures. This sentence, which seems groundless on the surface, is actually meaningful.
After hearing this, Sun Wukong only replied lightly: "Don't pay attention to him, just ask me." This sentence is not only a sign of respect for the Zen master, but also implies his exact knowledge of the path of learning the scriptures. This can't help but make people think, what kind of unspoken mystery is there between Wuchao Zen Master and Sun Wukong?
Here, we might as well dig deeper into the past of Monkey King. In "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong was pressed by the Buddha for 500 years under the Five Elements Mountain, which was a reshaping and refining of his soul. And before he was suppressed, his identity was the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain, a fearless hero who swept through Liuhe. In the depths of his memory, he knows the route between heaven and earth well.
And Wuchao Zen Master, this master who knows the heavens and has insight, his words are not untargeted. He pointed out that Wukong knew the way to learn the scriptures, which was actually reminding Tang monks and apprentices that although the road ahead was long, with Wukong here, everything was possible. This hint and trust is an affirmation of Sun Wukong's past experience and an incentive for his future journey.
Let's take a look at the story of the Bull Demon King and Zhu Bajie. The Bull Demon King, once one of the Seven Sages of Huaguo Mountain, was the same brother as Sun Wukong. And Zhu Bajie, the honest and foody Marshal Tianpeng, was reincarnated as a mortal and traveled west with Tang Seng. In this journey, each character has their own mission and destiny, and their stories are intertwined to form a colorful historical picture.
The mysterious identity of Zen Master Wuchao and the special connection that may exist between him and the Monkey King add a bit of mystery to this journey. His appearance is not accidental, but has far-reaching significance. In his words, there is a recognition of Goku's ability and the expectation and trust of the entire scripture learning team.
Not only Sun Wukong, but every partner who goes to the West to learn scriptures has their own past and secrets. For example, Sha Seng, who was once a monster of the quicksand river, turned into the Dharma Protector King Kong because of Tang Seng's holy decree, and his loyalty and persistence are also an indispensable part of this journey.
This study of scriptures in the west is not only a geographical trip, but also a spiritual cultivation and transformation. It tests everyone's will, wisdom and faith. And the words of Zen Master Wuchao may be the best interpretation of this belief.
Sun Wukong's reaction is also quite meaningful. His phrase "ignore him, just ask me" not only shows his confidence in his own ability, but also shows that he is willing to take on the responsibility of the safe journey of master and apprentice to the west. This self-confidence and sense of responsibility are indispensable qualities for him as a captain.
And the whole story, starting from Tang Seng's holy decree to the final successful scripture, every step is full of twists and turns and tests. Every addition of characters, every transition of difficulties, is part of this great journey. And the role of Zen Master Wuchao is like that touch of mystery, which makes the whole story more rich and three-dimensional.
On the way to learn the scriptures, every footprint is a test of faith, and every challenge is a baptism of the soul. The words of Zen Master Wuchao are not only an affirmation of Sun Wukong, but also an encouragement and reminder to the entire scripture-learning team. On this road, no matter how many difficulties and challenges we encounter, as long as we have faith, wisdom and courage, there is no hurdle that we cannot overcome.
By delving into the mysterious remarks of Zen Master Wuchao, we not only have a better understanding of the multi-layered nature of the role of Monkey King, but also have a new understanding of the entire journey of Journey to the West. This ancient journey is not only a physical challenge, but also a baptism of the soul. The words of Zen Master Wuchao may seem simple, but the meaning behind it is far-reaching, which is worthy of each of us to think about and understand. On the road ahead, let us continue to move forward with this wisdom and courage.
