Chapter 46 Chapter 16 Rhinoceros Essence - Aspects of All Beings in the Three Realms

The author mentioned the rhinoceros in the previous chapters. The author evaluates the three of them as the monsters with the strongest taste. Others either love Tang Seng’s cassock, or love Tang Seng’s meat, and there are people who love Tang Seng. Of course, There are also monks who like Monkey King, Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha's weapons, but I have never heard of someone who deceives the people by turning into a Buddha every year in order to eat sesame oil. By the way, are you three mice or rhinos? But the author is very strange, why does the rhinoceros like to steal sesame oil?There is a very funny saying in the book. Gongcao told Sun Wukong: "The name of this mountain is Qinglong Mountain, and the cave inside is named Xuanying Cave. There are three goblins in the cave: the big one is named Pihan King, and the second one is named Pishu King. The third one is called Bichen Dawang. This goblin has been here for thousands of years. He has loved crispy sesame oil since he was a child. When he became a genius, he came here to pretend to be a Buddha statue, coaxed the officials of Jinping Mansion, and set up golden lamps. Sesame oil. Every year until the first half of the first month, he transforms into a Buddha statue to collect oil. When he saw your master this year, he recognized him as a holy monk. Even your master was trapped in the cave. Fry it and eat it. Hurry up and save yourself.”

Liberty like crispy sesame oil?It is hard for the author to imagine how these three rhinoceros essences could eat crispy sesame oil before they became essences.But one thing is for sure, these three rhinoceros essences have not forgotten their roots. They loved to eat crispy sesame oil when they were young, but they still only love crispy sesame oil after they become essences.Unlike some people nowadays, who loved to eat food at home when they were young, but after becoming an official, they fell in love with the country's money. In the story of fighting against the rhinoceros, Wu Chengen actually designed many interesting plots, revealing the appearance of all living beings in the three realms. Below, the author analyzes them one by one and shares them with you.

The first one is the bridge where the meritorious Caos report to Monkey King.Sun Wukong was on the cliff, looking for his own path, when he saw four people, driving three sheep, descending from the west slope, shouting "Kaitai" in unison.The great sage's eyes were shining, and he looked carefully, and recognized that it was the year, month, day, and hour, the four-valued meritorious envoy, who came from a hidden image.The great sage immediately pulled out the iron rod, swiped it, the bowl was as thick as ten feet long, jumped off the cliff, and shouted: "You hide your head and shrink your neck and go there!" In a panic, he drank the three goats and found his true colors. He stepped down from the side of the road and saluted: "Great Sage, forgive me! Forgive me!" The traveler said: "I have never used you all this time. When you see the old grandson being lenient, you are all the same. I've been slacking off, and I won't come to see you! What do you say! You are not protecting my master in secret, where are you going?" Gongcao said: "Your master's lenient Zen nature lies in the greed of Ciyun Temple in Jinping Mansion. Huan, so whether Taiji was born or not, happiness turned into sorrow, and now he is captured by evil spirits. He has Dharma protectors guarding him. We know that the great sage is looking for it all night, and we are afraid that the great sage will not know the mountains and forests, so we are here to report." The traveler said: "Since you are delivering the report, why do you hide your name and drive the three sheep, shouting and shouting?" Gongcao said: "Set up these three sheep, in response to the words of Kaitai, call them Sanyang Kaitai, and crack your master's theory." It's not blocked." The traveler wanted to hit him bitterly, but when he saw this intention, he avoided it, put away the stick, and said angrily, "Is this mountain a place of goblins?"

This paragraph is really funny, the allusion of the relationship "Sanyang Kaitai" comes from here.In other words, why did the heroes do such a thing?To entertain the audience?Of course not, the meritorious officers can come up with this is enough to show that these small civil servants are really full-fledged sycophants!In fact, Tang Seng deserved to be captured by a monster. Sun Wukong said that it was not a Buddha but a monster. Tang Seng was still very stupid and naive to kneel down and worshiped. It's embarrassing to talk about him at such an advanced age.Tang Seng didn't listen to Sun Wukong's words, so that he was captured by monsters. This is the direct reason, but the deeper reason is what the meritorious officers said. Tang Seng was greedy for fun at Ciyun Temple in Jinping Prefecture and forgot to learn scriptures, so Taiji was born. .

Why do you guys say that?The author guessed that what they said was nothing more than to let Sun Wukong understand that learning the scriptures is the most important thing right now. Once the learning of the scriptures is delayed, there will be endless troubles.But it's hard to say this kind of thing on weekdays, and it will be more convincing when the retribution really comes. But you must remember one thing, how can the identities of heroes and Monkey King be compared?One side is a small civil servant, and the other is the Monkey King. Even when Guanyin Bodhisattva and Tathagata Buddha talk about Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong will complain to his face and scold his mother behind his back. It was stretched out immediately, not to mention that at this time, Tang Seng had just been arrested, and Sun Wukong was just at a time when he had nowhere to vent his anger, who would dare to provoke him?

Therefore, at this time, whether it is educating Monkey King or reporting letters, the heroes at this time need to have superb speaking skills.In this regard, the preparations of the Gong Caos are really very clever. First of all, the Gong Caos did not appear directly, but changed a few mortals, so that there was a buffer time, so that Sun Wukong would not attack them as soon as he saw them; secondly, The meritorious officers chased away the three sheep, and made an allusion about the three sheep leading to prosperity. They euphemistically stated the reason why the Tang monk was captured. Note that the meritorious officers only said that the Tang monk was greedy for pleasure, and did not mention Monkey King. You know, Monkey King has always been with Tang Seng, Tang Seng is greedy for pleasure, how can Monkey King work hard?However, don't expose people's faults in person, and don't hit people in the face. The meritorious officers said this, taking care of Monkey King's face, and Monkey King is a smart man, he can see through it, and he won't be ignorant of the meaning; He clearly explained the basic information of the monsters and pointed out the direction for Monkey King. Of course, Monkey King turned his anger into joy. Who wouldn't like a younger brother who talks and does things like this?This is really all out of practice. For example, the four-value meritorious officers are on duty every day, reporting to the Jade Emperor and all the gods.It can be seen that even if it is an errand job, there must be a mouth to run the train.

In the second section, the three rhinoceros fought against Monkey King and King Sijuxing.This battle, from Monkey King asking for help from the sky, to the Dragon King of the West Sea ordering troops to catch monsters, is very interesting.First of all, Monkey King met Taibai Jinxing in the sky. Taibai Jinxing took too much care of Monkey King. Not only did he explain the details of the monster well, but he also directly explained to Monkey King the gods who can subdue monsters, which saved Monkey King. But what is interesting is that Taibai Jin Xing didn't speak clearly, he said it was Simu Qinxing, but he didn't say which four.This is the art of speaking. If you don’t want to explain it clearly, the person involved will find it by himself, so that neither party will offend.Why didn't Taibai Jinxing tell the truth? It's because it sounds like it's going to subjugate demons. In fact, it's a matter of finding someone to work hard. Who knows if Simu Qinxing is willing or not. If you directly say who is Simu Qinxing, Sun Wukong must have gone to look for it, but is Simu Qinxing willing?Should people go or not?So, so far, even if Sun Wukong finds the right master, it is not what I said, so it can be seen that Taibai Jinxing is very slippery.

After talking about Taibaijinxing, let’s talk about Simu Qinxing. This "Simu Qinxing" is also very interesting. "Simu" and "star" are understandable, but what about "bird"? "Beast"?Think about it for yourself, anyway, there is a Kuimu wolf in it, everyone knows the performance of Kui Mulang, and when the demons are eliminated in the lower realm, the performance of the other three Xingjun is not bad at all. Especially that Jing Muyan, the degree of blood still reminds the author of what Kui Mulang did in the palace of Baoxiang Kingdom back then - I saw Jing Muyan reappeared in his original body, holding Pi Han'er down, and gnawing on it Mile.Mo Ang shouted: "Jing Su! Jing Su! Don't bite him to death, Sun Dasheng wants to live, not die." After shouting several times, his neck was already bitten off.Look at this ruthless one, when Sun Wukong saw one had a severed head and fell to the ground dripping with blood, and the other was dragged by Jing Muyan's ears, pushing him to kneel on the ground, he looked carefully at it and said: "This head was not wounded by a weapon. Ah." Mo Ang said with a smile: "It's not that I shouted so hard that even my body was eaten by Jing Xingguan."

The bloody gnawing was exactly the same as that of Kui Mulang back then. Sun Wukong was probably still very surprised that this Jing Muyan and the rhinoceros had the hatred of killing their father and taking their wife, so they had to talk about it. The performance of the Dragon King of the West Sea is also very interesting. From the text, we can easily see that the Dragon King of the West Sea has friendship with the three rhinoceros.When the three rhinoceros took refuge in the Dragon Palace of the West Sea, there was a Yaksha exploring the sea in the West Sea. "Your Majesty! There are three rhinos, they were driven here by the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and the two stars!" The old dragon king Ao Shun called the prince Mo Ang immediately after hearing the words: "Hurry up sailors, I think the rhinos are able to ward off cold, heat, and dust." The three sons offended Sun Xingzhe. Now that we have reached the sea, quickly draw your sword and help."

The three rhinos were chased by Monkey King, and they didn't run anywhere else, but only ran to the Dragon King of the West Sea. Although there is a geographical reason, they wouldn't dare if it wasn't for old acquaintances, and the Dragon King of the West Sea didn't even look at the three There are only three rhinoceros, namely Pi Han, Pi Shu and Pi Chen'er. How can they be so sure if they are not old acquaintances?This is the naked collusion between government officials and the underworld. It's a pity that the three bull spirits don't understand the principle of "the wall is overthrown and everyone pushes", and they offended the famous old grandson. The heavenly court issued an A-level arrest warrant, and the four famous arresters were also dispatched. At this point, you still expect to be scheming Can the cunning, treacherous, and shameless Dragon King of the West Sea protect you?How silly and naive!

The performance of the Dragon King of the West Sea can be described as decisive, wise and powerful. Under the urgent situation, without hesitation, he could see at a glance that the three rhinoceros had offended Monkey King, and he ordered the immediate arrest without hesitation. I still don't understand why the old dragon who often drinks flowers and wine together on weekdays suddenly turned his face today.They don't know, but Prince Mo Ang, who has been involved in the world with his old father, knows it. When he listened to my father's order, he didn't even ask, and immediately sent troops to suppress the thieves. The cooperation between the father and son was a tacit understanding!In this way, at the critical moment, the Dragon King of the West Sea not only put aside his relationship with the rhinoceros spirit, but also made a great contribution to exterminating demons and learning scriptures. The last part of the plot is about Monkey King's distribution of the loot, send the Jade Emperor, send the Tathagata, send the common people, no one will be left behind, everyone is happy, clever!
