Chapter 10 The third chapter learns from the biggest black-box operation of the team

After the plan to learn Buddhist scriptures from the Western Paradise is determined, the arrangement of people who learn Buddhist scriptures is put on the agenda. Who should be sent to learn Buddhist scriptures?The giants finally finalized the personnel after an intensive black-box operation. In the entire scripture learning team, the scripture learner and the great apprentice are the most important candidates. Buddhism and Taoism must each determine one, so as to be fair. Since it is to learn scriptures, the leader must be a Buddhist figure. The Tathagata Buddha immediately recommended his second disciple, Jin Chanzi.

Why choose Jin Chanzi instead of others?The author's analysis is as follows. From the above explanation, we can imagine the importance of the task of learning scriptures, and after learning the scriptures, the benefits of the learners are huge, and they can directly become a Buddha. Will feel bad. Guanyin Bodhisattva can certainly do it, but Guanyin runs errands all day, which is indispensable, and she is also the image spokesperson of Buddhism, and she is also a beautiful lesbian. It is unjustifiable to go to reincarnation, and her image as a Bodhisattva is deeply ingrained in the public mind , how to award rewards at that time?

Of course, Ananda Kasyapa can do it, but the character of the two people is not good (the last time they asked for bribes from the Tang monk who is also a senior brother, it can be seen), it is difficult to convince the public when they are sent out, and it is impossible to be conferred as a Buddha in the end. So Tathagata chose his beloved apprentice-Jin Chanzi after much deliberation. In addition to the reasons mentioned above, there are two other reasons why Jin Chanzi was selected: First of all, Buddhism has complete binding force on him, and he himself can withstand all kinds of temptations, so that he will not give up halfway;

Secondly, he is very timid and afraid of getting into trouble. When he was reincarnated as Tang Seng, on the way to learn Buddhist scriptures, basically whenever he heard that there were goblins coming out, no matter whether there were goblins in fact, he would tremble from the inside out, and then fell off his horse. Come down, cry as soon as you are caught, such a timid person is definitely the least outrageous thing to do, and it is easy to control. So Jin Chanzi was lucky to be appointed by default. Tathagata pressed Sun Wukong under the Five Elements Mountain, and after exchanging opinions with Laojun at the heavenly court celebration banquet, he immediately returned to Lingshan, demoted the golden cicada to the mortal world, and practiced for ten generations. The merits and virtues are complete and the fruit is achieved.

In the last chapter, Tathagata said: "Holy monk, you were my second disciple in the previous life, named Jin Chanzi. Because you didn't listen to the Dharma and despised my great teaching, you demoted your true spirit and reincarnated in the Eastern Land. Today, I am happy to take refuge, uphold my blessings, and take advantage of my teachings to take away the scriptures. You have achieved great results, and you have been promoted to a great position. You are the Buddha of Zhantan Merit. This is completely naked insider trading. The crime of "contemptuous of Buddhism" can be big or small, and it can even be regarded as unfounded. Therefore, it is extremely operable, but from this crime, we can see a trace of black box operation The clues come.Moreover, since Jin Chanzi is the second disciple of Tathagata, how could he belittle Buddhism?If you despise the Buddhadharma, how can Tathagata let him go to learn scriptures?Moreover, even if one despises the Dharma, one should not be reduced to an ordinary person who suffers from samsara for ten lifetimes.

In contrast, Sun Wukong did not suffer from reincarnation when he committed a heinous crime; Zhu Bajie molested Chang'e, violated the rules of heaven, and was demoted to the mortal world without losing his mana.Jin Chanzi is completely trivial. In this regard, everyone is well aware that Jin Chanzi is just going to the grassroots for gilding. As for the selection of apprentices, the chief apprentice, as the core figure, is the focus of debate. In the end, the Taishang Laojun recommended Sun Wukong. Why does Taishang Laojun recommend Monkey King?This is the author's guess, or maybe it was recommended by the Tathagata. Anyway, it can't be recommended by the Jade Emperor. Sun Wukong almost kicked him out. He must hate Sun Wukong so much, how can he recommend it?

As for the Tathagata, you have already determined who will learn from the scriptures, and you want to choose another one? Therefore, taking into account the balance of Buddhism and Taoism, Sun Wukong should be determined by the Taishang Laojun. There are four reasons why Sun Wukong was chosen: First, since you Taishang Laojun, Tathagata and Tianting have all decided to be lenient and not kill Monkey King, then you have to keep doing the show, but it’s not a problem to always suppress Monkey King, and you have to release it sooner or later. If he has to be released, he must be made obedient and obey the rule.Therefore, let him participate in the study of scriptures in the Western Paradise, slowly wear down his will to resist, and finally achieve complete subjugation.

Second, Sun Wukong is highly skilled and has been "the most famous monster in the world" throughout the ages. Looking around the world, no monster is the opponent of Monkey King. Choosing him is almost the best candidate to complete the great cause of learning from the scriptures. Third, Sun Wukong’s influence as a model must be maintained, so that those monsters who want to rebel in the world can see how the Monkey King was subdued back then, and how he changed his mind and started a new life. Fourth, what sequence team does Sun Wukong belong to?There are two titles in the book, one is Taiyi Sanxian and the other is Yaoxian.In any case, Sun Wukong's essence is a fairy, and if he is a fairy, he is a Taoist, and he is a person from my Laojun's side, and Sun Wukong himself can realize this.And after Sun Wukong overthrew the ginseng fruit tree, he went to Xiandao to seek prescriptions. Shou Xing once said such a sentence: "I heard that the great sage abandoned the Tao and followed the interpretation, and saved his life to protect Tang Monk from the west to learn from the scriptures..." The four characters "abandon the Tao and follow the interpretation" It can be seen that Sun Wukong was indeed a Taoist before. Since his roots are in Taoism, even if he converts to Buddhism, judging from Sun Wukong's moral nature, he will never forget his roots. Therefore, Taishang Laojun regards Sun Wukong as a Taoist.

In addition to these, I am afraid that the Taishang Laojun still has other ideas. When Sun Wukong made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, he Taishang Laojun kept pouring water on Sun Wukong. He rescued the lute bone from being locked, and gave him a pair of piercing eyes, and even made Sun Wukong's muscles and bones together with the elixir and pan peach in his body. It can be said that the Taishang Laojun has the grace of rebuilding Sun Wukong. It is impossible for Sun Wukong not to know about Taishang Laojun’s mercy and great kindness. In addition, Sun Wukong was overwhelmed by Tathagata under the Five Elements Mountain. friends?One day, Sun Wukong will become a Buddha, and that can be regarded as a pawn placed by my Taishang Laojun in Tathagata.

The more Taishang Laojun thought about it, the more comfortable he became, and the reasons were high-sounding, so he strongly recommended Sun Wukong as the disciple of the Buddhist scriptures. So Sun Wukong was appointed by default. Perhaps considering that the Jade Emperor is the nominal boss of the Three Realms, Laojun and Tathagata feel that it is not appropriate for the sutra learning team to let themselves be finalized, not to mention asking the Jade Emperor to help when encountering some troubles during the sutra learning process, so the most important Now that the candidates for learning Buddhist scriptures have been determined, let the Jade Emperor nominate the remaining candidates for hard work and footwork.

When the Jade Emperor heard that the Tathagata had made a big plan to learn scriptures for the sake of saving sentient beings, he must have agreed and respected him deeply. He was overjoyed when he heard that he was asked to choose a few candidates for the scripture learning team! Afterwards, it also proved that the Jade Emperor was very active in learning scriptures, and he gave the green light all the way! Now that he has nominated candidates, and these people will be named Zhengguo afterwards, the Jade Emperor must think about it carefully, and must find some confidantes. So Marshal Tianpeng, General Rolling Curtain and Third Prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea were selected. For the three of them, we will analyze them one by one. First, we will talk about Zhu Bajie, who was once the commander of the Hundred Thousand Tianhe Navy Marshal Tianpeng. Marshal Tianpeng used to have 100,000 Tianhe sailors in his hands, and he can be regarded as the naval commander of the Heavenly Court. The faction is not weaker than Li Jing, the commander of the army. Not weaker than Li Jing.Just imagine, such a big-brother-level commander, drinking alcohol for no reason, molesting Chang'e, is inexplicable, and the Jade Emperor demoted him as soon as he said he would, and even wanted to kill him. Could it be that the Jade Emperor didn't feel bad at all?Does he hate the canopy so much? Marshal Tianpeng was demoted because he molested Chang'e after drinking. A marshal-level figure molested a female civil servant of an art troupe. Although the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Taibai Jinxing, begged for mercy, he still wanted to take down the Heavenly Court in the end, and had to be reincarnated and suffer the pain of reincarnation. This is too exaggerated. Let's make a small comparison. Kui Mulang, one of the twenty-eight mansions, and a maid of the Queen Mother have an affair, which also violates the rules of heaven, and their influence is extremely bad. They both have an affair. It is estimated that all of them have been done, but what about the punishment? ?The cheating maid was not satisfied with cheating in the heaven, and went down to Baoxiang Kingdom to be a princess of Baihuashu, but Kui Mulang was not punished in the heaven, and became a demon in the lower realm, captured Baihuashu, and did ten things. Three years of husband and wife, gave birth to two little shemale, happy like flowers.After the Dongchuang incident, Kui Mulang was beaten to heaven by Sun Wukong, and the Jade Emperor found out the truth. Kui Mulang was only punished by the Jade Emperor to burn the Taishang Laojun for a few days. Marshal Canopy is much stronger than a star, right?You can beat me with two thousand hammers, but you still punish me to be a pig?It's too unfair that a maid goes down to earth to be the princess of a country, but Marshal Canopy is a boar! Abnormal things are demons, there must be articles in this. The article is that Marshal Tianpeng was appointed by the Jade Emperor as a member of the Buddhist scriptures, so he pretended to be drunk and molested Chang'e, and then the Jade Emperor pretended to kill him, and then Taibai Jinxing pleaded for him according to the pre-written script, and then the canopy The marshal went to lurk in the underground world smoothly. The reason why Zhu Bajie was chosen as the apprentice of the Buddhist scriptures is basically clear. It is a pity that the tragedy is that Marshal Tianpeng was tampered with when he was reincarnated and turned into a pig demon. This was something Marshal Tianpeng hadn't thought of beforehand, what a disaster! The author believes that the most likely person to do this is his competitor, Li Jing, the army commander. Maybe Li Jing is jealous of Marshal Canopy being selected, or Li Jing doesn't want Marshal Canopy to return to heaven, and then he can palm land, sea and air Three armies.So Li Jing bribed the greedy ten-generation Hades, and turned Marshal Tianpeng into an old pig in one fell swoop. Of course, this is all guesswork, just for fun, let’s continue with the serious stuff. Zhu Bajie was the most unsteady member on the way to learn the scriptures. It is estimated that the reason is because he did not expect to be disfigured by lurking, so he has always had lumps in his heart. Zhu Bajie is always against Sun Wukong, the reason is very simple, Sun Wukong belongs to the faction of Laojun, and Zhu Bajie belongs to the faction of Jade Emperor, so Zhu Bajie always wants Tang Seng to curse Sun Wukong to death. There is a reason for saying this, but what is the basis? The author deciphers all the questions raised by Marshal Canopy one by one. First of all, the appearance of Zhu Bajie is very inexplicable, Guanyin is walking, Zhu Bajie suddenly jumped out to eat Guanyin, and fought with Hui An for more than ten rounds, and finally pretended not to know Guanyin. Don't even know Guanyin Bodhisattva?Therefore, there is only one reason - acting. Second, when Zhu Bajie fell into the grass and turned into a bandit, the Zen master Wuchao he met was so powerful that he was simply admired by the mountains. He offered to accept Zhu Bajie as a disciple, but Zhu Bajie refused.Later, he followed Tang Seng to learn scriptures and became the disciple of Tathagata.We know that Zhu Bajie's will to learn Buddhist scriptures is very unstable, lazy and lustful, while Zen Master Wuchao's mana is almost the same as Tathagata, and as a disciple of Zen Master Wuchao, he can guard Miss Gao's family without running away (Zen Master Wuchao) He is very conniving with Zhu Bajie, otherwise he would not have waited for Monkey King to deal with him), but Zhu Bajie gave up and ran all the way to Lingshan instead.This shows that Zhu Bajie is definitely not voluntary, but has a heavy responsibility, and this heavy responsibility is the death order issued by the Jade Emperor. Third, Zhu Bajie is timid and fearful, which is obvious to all.But when he was conferred the title of Bodhisattva by the Tathagata after he finished learning the scriptures, he dared to talk back and be dissatisfied, saying why both the monkey and the old monk became Buddhas, and my old pig became a Bodhisattva?How embarrassing are Guanyin and the others in this sentence.This shows that Zhu Bajie is not afraid of the Tathagata. As a disciple of the Tathagata, he is not afraid of the Tathagata. Isn't this a problem?The answer is that Zhu Bajie is not your Tathagata man, but the Jade Emperor's spy. As for Monk Sha, he joined Zhu Bajie for basically the same reason. Drifting Monk used to be a curtain-rolling general in the sky in his previous life, and he rolled up a curtain to be named a general. This curtain is definitely not the curtain on the main hall, but the curtain in the inner room of the Jade Emperor. What does this mean? This shows that Drifting used to be the commander of the Jade Emperor's guard company, the Jade Emperor's confidant general, and a figure who could get close to the core center of power. Not to mention why a general who was entrusted with the confidant of the Jade Emperor was so stupid that he could accidentally smash the glass cup, nor how a general who rolled the curtain would touch the glass cup that was out of reach, let alone the glass cup in the Heavenly Palace. Why is the glazed cup so easily broken? Of course, I don’t want to talk about why the general nostalgia, as a god, didn’t use his magic power to pick it up one second before the glazed cup fell to the ground. Let’s just talk about what he suffered after breaking the glazed cup. How unreasonable the punishment is. In all fairness, what is it to smash a glazed cup by mistake?fault?malfeasance?Even if this is the case, at worst, you can demote him from his official position. You actually wanted to take him to the execution ground and behead him for public display. Fortunately, the Barefoot Immortal came out to intercede, so he was saved from death, and he was demoted to the mortal world as a demon. Once, he used a flying sword to pierce someone's chest and flanks more than a hundred times.Heavy punishment for misdemeanors is unreasonable, there must be tricks in it! Moreover, Drifting's experience of being persuaded by Guanyin Bodhisattva to join the scripture learning team is exactly the same as that of Zhu Bajie. Chapter 8——The Bodhisattva looked right at it. There was a splashing noise in the river, and a monster jumped out of the water. It was very ugly... The monster held a treasure stick in its hand and went ashore to catch the Bodhisattva, but was caught. Hui An blocked it with an iron rod, and shouted, "Stop going!" The monster came to meet him with a treasured staff.The two were by the Quicksand River. This vicious killing was truly astonishing! Monk Sha took the initiative to go ashore, not to mention, but also went to catch the Bodhisattva? If the rolling shutter general doesn't know the famous Tianting Changguanyin Bodhisattva, then the popularity of Guanyin is too low.What's more, as the commander of the Jade Emperor's guard company and the No. 1 bodyguard, General Rolling Screen should have more opportunities to meet Guanyin, so it's impossible not to know him. Why did he catch Guanyin?For food, why not pick up the man (Hui An) to eat, but to catch the woman to eat?Strange too. There is another point that is more worthy of scrutiny-the monster heard the words, said repeatedly, took away the treasure stick, let the wooden fork grab it, saw Guanyin bowing down with his head, and said: "Bodhisattva, forgive me, wait for me to tell you!" .I'm not a demon, I'm the rolling shutter general of His Highness Lingxiao's attendant Luanyu. Just because I accidentally broke the glass cup at the Peach Blossom Festival, the Jade Emperor beat me eight hundred times and demoted me to the lower world. I became like this. He taught me once every seven days that he pierced my chest with a flying sword for more than a hundred times, so I was so distressed. I had no choice but to suffer from hunger and cold. In three or two days, I went out of the waves to find a passerby to eat. Unexpectedly, today I was ignorant and collided. Great Merciful Bodhisattva." A person who is guilty should be specially guarded, just like Sun Wukong, who was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain and could not move, and there were special gods watching; Drifting stayed in the Liusha River unrestrained, and was punished every seven days. run?The Jade Emperor is not afraid of him running away? Some people may ask, how do you know that no one is watching him? If someone is really watching him, will he be allowed to eat people, and also allow him to eat Guanyin? So, it was another well-rehearsed play. Judging from Drifting’s experience of joining the Buddhist scriptures team, this guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp. At the beginning, Drifting was almost inhumane. He stood by and looked at Zhu Bajie’s open and secret struggle with Monkey King (details later) ); and later, he was touched by Monkey King's sincerity, and slowly changed.This is different from the Drifting Monk in the TV series. The last one, although it is said that the Dragon King does not have much power as the Minister of Water Resources, but Xiao Bailong is the third prince of the Deputy Minister Xihai Dragon King. Sun Wukong entered the Dragon Palace to snatch the Dinghaishenzhen with open fire, and entered the underworld to destroy the life and death book. It can be described as a heinous crime, but he was recruited and rewarded. The eighth chapter writes like this—Na Longdao: "I am the son of Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea. Because I set fire to the jewel in the temple, my father played the heavenly court and sued me for disobedience. The Jade Emperor hung me in the air and beat me three times. One hundred, I will be punished soon. I hope the Bodhisattva will rescue me." How can I sue my son to the heaven and also sue him for death? And look at the saying in the following text-the Bodhisattva came forward and said: "The poor monk led the Buddha's decree to go to the east to find scriptures. He will do footwork with the Buddhist scriptures." Hearing this, the Jade Emperor sent a decree to forgive him, sent the general to be liberated, and sent it to the Bodhisattva, who thanked him and came out.The little dragon kowtowed to thank him for his life, and obeyed the orders of the Bodhisattva. The Jade Emperor didn't ask any questions, and directly released a death row prisoner. Since you are so tolerant, why did you sentence him to death? All signs proved that it was clearly rehearsed in advance. Moreover, judging from Xiaobailong's performance on the road of learning scriptures, Xiaobailong worked hard and remained unknown. He devoted himself to the end before Zhu Bajie and Drifting Monk, and his credit was better than Zhu Bajie and Drifting Monk. He has done great work to prevent the disintegration of the scripture learning team, but his position is not as good as Zhu Bajie and Drifting. The drifting horse looking at the luggage is still low.But Xiao Bailong never complained, neither did he complain on the way to learn scriptures, nor did he complain when awarding rewards. This is hard to compare with his previous rebellious act of setting fire to the Ye Mingzhu. Also, on the final journey to learn the scriptures, the Dragon King of the Four Seas helped the team a lot, almost responding to every request. Although the Dragon King of the Four Seas and Monkey King have a good personal relationship, they don’t have to be so diligent, right?This must have something to do with Xiaobailong being in the scripture learning team. It can even be said that Xiao Bailong, the second generation official, was pushed up by the Dragon King of the Four Seas to a certain extent. Why was Xiaobailong chosen?First of all, although my uncle, uncle, and daddy are not very capable, but they are fat and short, the Minister of Water Resources!Who doesn't miss the baby in the Crystal Palace?The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas are generous, and they may have given gifts to the Jade Emperor and the people around the Jade Emperor. In addition, Xiao Bailong is handsome and has outstanding martial arts. It's not surprising that everyone thinks about it. That's why we saw such a strange scene. Guanyin Bodhisattva only encountered three monsters, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk, and Xiaobailong, on the way to find the Buddhist scriptures. Of course there is also Sun Wukong), and what is even more strange is that when Guanyin meets them, he promises to free them from their sins and make them achieve good results. Four were major criminals of the imperial court, two were exiled, one was beheaded, and the other was sentenced to life imprisonment. Even if you have a big face of Guanyin Bodhisattva, you can't play like this, right?You say let it go? But Sister Guanyin dared to let it go! Abnormal things are demons, which only shows that the three of them have been pre-determined. This is the benefit of the system. Two are subordinates who get along well with the leader, and one is the second generation of officials who can be officials. In the end, I deeply regret the issue of Xiao Bailong's reward. The status of the Dragon King is not comparable to that of the Canopy Marshal who is in charge of the 100,000 Tianhe sailors, nor can he be compared to the Jade Emperor's guards, the commander of the company, and the general of the Dragon King of the West Sea. What about the third prince, so I can only wrong him. Zhu Bajie can also express dissatisfaction with the Tathagata's reward, and Xiao Bailong can only accept it obediently. Although Drifting is the Jade Emperor's confidant, it is reasonable to say that he is not much worse than Zhu Bajie, but Zhu Bajie is for the task of his superiors. Even the appearance was destroyed, so Drifting Monk's reward was below Zhu Bajie's. This is also a rule within the system. Although it is unfair to say that the black box operation is unfair, we will inevitably encounter it in the process of entering society.Therefore, what we have to do is not only criticize and resist, but also try to make ourselves a person who has been manipulated into good things in the dark. How can I be selected? The experience of Tang Seng and Monkey King tells us that either you have a close relationship with the leader, or you have common interests with the leader, or you are super capable, and even if you are not good, you are also very obedient. Of course, the most important premise is that you have to catch up with a good subject, otherwise, where will you be manipulated in secret? The author comprehensively reads the experience of various novels about gods and demons, and can conclude a rule. After being demoted to the mortal world, those gods, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas are usually reborn as mortals, and most of them are mortals who were reborn into wealthy families, or even mortals. Reincarnated as famous figures in history, for example, Yue Fei is said to be reincarnated by Dapeng, Bao Zheng was reincarnated by Wenqu Xingjun, Di Qing was reincarnated by Wuqu Xingjun, Song Renzong was reincarnated by a barefoot immortal, and so on. Degraded to the mortal world as a monster. Marshal Tianpeng, General Rolling Screen, and the Third Prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea were all reprimanded or executed for trivial matters, which is not surprising. Still the same sentence, abnormal things are demons, and there must be tricks in them. It's the same in real life. Once a famous person is in trouble, he will be in trouble for a lifetime. Maybe there is something hidden in it, or when he will make a comeback, and maybe he is a political conspiracy.Such as Sima Yi, such as Zeng Guofan, such as Yuan Shikai. Maybe some readers are getting impatient, why do you always conspire as a book writer, can you be a little more sunny?Well, let the author be more sunny. From another point of view, even if there is nothing tricky in it, if he is really demoted, then Marshal Canopy, General Roller, and the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea will suffer first, and then they will be demoted. Tang Seng obtained Feng Zhengguo after learning the scriptures, which is also a blessing in disguise.
