Chapter 11 Chapter 4: The dark side of the learning team

When watching TV series, the episode "Three Attacks on the Bones" has always been an episode I don't want to watch.The TV shows are very sensational, Monkey King is too pitiful, Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie are too hateful, Drifting Monk is too indifferent. The White Bone Demon is the first monster Tang Seng encountered after accepting Drifting Monk as his apprentice, that is, the first test that Tang Seng experienced after the official formation of the Sutra learning team. , The smug learning team fell apart, and the top player in the team, Sun Wukong, was forced to leave. It seems that Tang Seng misunderstood Sun Wukong, but in fact, there are many inside stories. The leader and his subordinates are at odds, and the employees are also at odds. , Disciples are not like apprentices, brothers are not like brothers.

After Tang Seng took Drifting Monk in, the scripture learning team was ready, and Tang Seng thought that he needed horses to have horses, and apprentices to have apprentices. Zhu Bajie and Drifting Monk were both good at it, so Monkey King was not that important.Why does Tang Seng look down on Sun Wukong, because in Tang Seng's eyes, Sun Wukong is not as obedient as Zhu Bajie and Drifting, he often talks back, refuses to obey discipline, and his skills are too high.Therefore, Tang Seng began to feel jealous and disgusted with Sun Wukong, and wanted to deliberately make things difficult and cross rivers and bridges.

The twenty-seventh chapter——Sun Dasheng gave alms, brandished the iron rod, and roared, scaring the wolf, the worm, and the tiger and leopard to flee.The master and disciples entered the mountain and were walking to the steep place. Sanzang said, "Wukong, I'm hungry today. Where can you go for some fasting?" In the middle of the mountain, there is Buba Village in the front, no shops in the back, and no place to buy it if you have money, where can I go to find food?" Sanzang was unhappy, and cursed: "You monkey! I think you are in Liangjie Mountain, and you were killed by the Tathagata. Pressed in the stone box, you can speak with your mouth, but you can't do it with your feet. Thanks to me for saving your life, you received the precepts and became my apprentice. Why don't you work hard and always feel lazy!" The traveler said: "The disciple also How can you be lazy?" Sanzang said, "Since you are diligent, why don't you let me eat? How can I be hungry? What's more, this place is full of miasma in the mountains, how can I get Lei Yin?" The traveler said: "Don't blame me, master, don't talk. I know that you are arrogant and arrogant, and I have disobeyed you very much, so I want to recite the mantra. Get off your horse and sit still, and I will find someone there to go to the house."

This passage expresses Tang Seng's meanness and narrow-mindedness vividly, and Sun Wukong's helplessness and caution are very moving.The article clearly states that in the poor mountains and bad waters, when wolves were infested, "I was walking to the steep place", but Tang Seng asked Sun Wukong to find a vegetarian meal. Sun Wukong made a little excuse, and Tang Seng yelled and even exposed his faults. The traveler picked a few peaches from the top of the South Mountain, held a bowl, and made a somersault before returning.Opening his golden eyes to watch, he recognized the woman as a goblin, put down the bowl, turned on the iron rod, and hit her right at the head.An elder was so bluffed that he grabbed his hand and said, "Wukong! Who are you going to fight when you go?" The traveler said, "Master, this woman in front of you must not be a good person. She is a goblin, and he is here to deceive you." Sanzang said, "" You monkey head, you had some good eyesight at the time, how can you behave in such a way today!" Tang Seng didn't believe it, he just said he was a good person.

Tang Seng's "Where is he willing to believe" to Monkey King hurts Monkey King's heart, and Monkey King never lied, why doesn't Tang Seng believe it?And there is a very interesting sentence in it, "You monkey head, you had some eyesight at the time, how can you behave in disorder today", this sentence shows that Monkey King has become annoying in Tang Seng's eyes, Tang Seng's distrust of Monkey King That is just the beginning. Combining the above two paragraphs, the reason why Tang Seng is suddenly dissatisfied with Sun Wukong and does not trust Sun Wukong is very simple. It seems that the addition of Zhu Bajie and Drifting Monk can be equal to Monkey King, so Tang Seng thinks that Monkey King has become a dispensable character.And Zhu Bajie is very sweet talker, Drifting seems to be honest and obedient, Sun Wukong is too strong in personal ability, he can do everything well, he is excellent in both civil and military affairs, he is not lecherous, not greedy for money, he has almost no weaknesses, he is simply perfect, and As a perfect man, he didn't seem to take his weak and incompetent self seriously, so Tang Seng felt jealous towards Sun Wukong in his heart.

As evidenced by Tang Seng’s words, when Monkey King killed the Bone Demon for the third time, Tang Seng wanted to drive Sun Wukong away—the traveler said: “Master wrongly blamed me. This fellow is clearly a demon. He really intends to harm you. I will beat him to death. Eliminate harm for you, but you don't recognize it, and believe the idiot's slander, and chase me repeatedly. As the saying goes, there are only three things. If I don't go, I'm really a dirty and shameless person. I will go and I will go! Go and go It’s just that you have no one under your command.” Tang Seng said angrily: “This monkey is even more rude! It seems that you are only a human being, so Wu Neng and Wu Jing are not human?”

"This monkey is getting more and more rude! It seems that only you are a human being, but Wu Neng and Wu Jing are not human beings." Tang Seng's original intention was fulfilled in one sentence. , just teach me to go back, this is the way to hide the bow and hide the bow, and cook the rabbit to death! Go, go, go!" The author believes that Tang Seng, as the leader of a team, should have the temperament and measure to convince his subordinates, instead of resorting to some kind of hostage means, threatening me to curse you to death at every turn, or driving people back to their hometown.When a leader makes people afraid to do something, the crisis of the team comes.What is even more frightening is that the quality that a leader should have is how to control the strong, rather than being jealous of the capable; the most frightening thing is that a leader should have a far-sighted vision and a vision of knowing and trusting people. Slandering, obviously, Tang Seng, who has just formed a sutra learning team, has no measure, no ability to control people, and no good vision.

In fact, there are actually two reasons why Sun Wukong did not go to Huazhai. One is bright and the other is dark. The bright one is that it is not easy to go to Huazhai, and the dark one is because the mountain peaks are dangerous, and there must be monsters.But Tang Seng decided that Sun Wukong was lazy and had bad intentions, and under consideration of a dark heart, it was all the shortcomings of others. dark side The dark side of Zhu Bajie is his dissatisfaction with Monkey King. Sun Wukong is very capable, has a firm will to learn scriptures, and has a strong heart. He can't understand Zhu Bajie's various behaviors. Zhu Bajie was embarrassed by Monkey King in Gao Laozhuang, and he was often insulted by Monkey King on the road. Hate, the third is to get rid of it quickly.

Therefore, at the beginning, Zhu Bajie was full of hostility towards Sun Wukong and hated him deeply. He often thought in his heart that after removing Sun Wukong, not only would he be able to get rid of the person who restrained him the most from the scripture learning team, but he would also be able to become the number one leader under Tang Seng. .Without Monkey King, it means that he has gained unlimited freedom. Tang Seng can't control himself, Drifting Monk can't beat him, Bailongma is just a foot, and no one in the Buddhist scriptures team can do anything to him. In the original book - (Zhu Bajie) and Sanzang said: "Master! Auspicious people have their own rewards! Master is hungry, and brother teacher went to Huazhai, but the monkey went to pick peaches and play tricks. He ate too many peaches, and he was a bit noisy , and a little falling." (some words omitted in the middle) Sanzang just didn't eat, but Bajie was annoyed by the side.The idiot pursed his mouth and complained: "there are countless monks in the world, and I have never been like an old monk like me. Give up! I don't eat three servings of ready-made rice. I only eat four servings when the monkey comes!" It can't be said that if you overturn a jar with one mouth, you will have to open your mouth... The elders only believed it three-thirds (believing that the bone spirit is a monster), so how could Zhu Bajie not be angry, and said: "Master , Speaking of this woman, he is a peasant woman here, because she sent food to the fields, and met me on the way, but why did she call him a monster? My brother's stick is heavy, so I tried to beat him in the future, and I killed him unexpectedly! I'm afraid you read What kind of magic spell, you deliberately use a trick to cover your eyes, turn it into something like this, play tricks on your eyes, so that you don't recite the spell."

In this paragraph, we can see two points. First, Zhu Bajie is not afraid of Tang Seng at all. Tang Seng refuses to eat, but Zhu Bajie dares to scold and grab food; secondly, Zhu Bajie is very dissatisfied with Monkey King, and Monkey King picks it Tao Zi, Zhu Bajie slandered Monkey King for his single diet, which made his stomach upset and his stomach slumped; after beating Monkey King, Zhu Bajie started to slander Monkey King again, and Tang Seng cursed Monkey King to death and vowed not to stop.And Tang Seng just listened to slander, regardless of good or bad, "Sure enough, he believed the idiot's instigation, twisted formulas in his hands, and chanted mantras in his mouth."

Sun Wukong immediately suffered a tragedy. It was the first time that Tang Seng wanted to expel Sun Wukong, and what Sun Wukong said as much as he could, he first realized it with reason, "If you don't want me to be your apprentice, I'm afraid you won't be able to go to the west", but Tang Seng felt powerful at this time and thought " My fate is up to the heavens, the goblin should steam it and eat it, even if it is boiled, it will not count. In the end, you can save my life?" Still want to drive away Monkey King.Monkey King was moved again and said, "Master, it's fine if I go back, but I haven't repaid your kindness... If I don't go to the west with you, it seems that I am not a gentleman if I know how to repay my kindness, and I will be infamous forever." The begging Tang Seng finally changed his mind. The first time Zhu Bajie used Tang Seng's hand to drive Sun Wukong away, it ended in failure. When Sun Wukong beat the Bone Demon for the second time, Zhu Bajie took advantage of Tang Seng's weakness of timidity and distrust of Sun Wukong, and publicly provoked him—Tang Seng said: "This monkey is talking nonsense! There are so many monsters! You are a person who has no intention of doing good, but a person who intends to do evil. , you go!" The traveler said: "Master taught me to go again, and I went back when I went back, but there was one thing that didn't respond." Tang Seng said: "What's wrong with you?" Bajie said: "Master, he wants to be with you. Share your luggage. I have been a monk with you for several years, so you can’t go back empty-handed? You can give him the old shirt and the worn-out hat in two pieces.” Hearing this, the walker jumped angrily and said: "I'll take you sharp-mouthed bastard! Old Sun has always been teaching Samana, and he doesn't have the slightest jealousy or greed. Why do you want to divide your luggage?" After reading this paragraph, the author is really gnashing his teeth at Zhu Bajie, you pig head is nothing but wretched, and you still make others say it is so unbearable.Relying on the protection and favor of a leader, maliciously slandering a competitor at will is not uncommon in real life. This is the tragedy of Mu Xiuyu Lin. When Sun Wukong beat the Bone Demon for the third time, Zhu Bajie’s instigation escalated even more, almost throughout—Bajie said: “Master, don’t praise it, that is the root of the disaster.” Tang Seng said: “How is it the root of the disaster?” Bajie said: "Xingzhe killed his daughter and his mother-in-law. This is exactly what his old man is looking for. If we bump into his arms, master, you will pay for your life, and you should be sentenced to death; Take the old pig as his follower and ask him to exile the army; Drifting orders and ask him to set up his position; the traveler escaped with an escape method, but he didn’t hurt the three of us?" (some words omitted in the middle) The great sage raised his stick At the place, defeating the demon cut off the aura.The Tang monk was on the horse, and he was so scared that he couldn't speak.Bajie laughed again and said, "Good traveler! The wind is blowing! We only walked for half a day, and three people were killed!" Tang Seng was about to recite the mantra, when the traveler rushed to the horse and shouted: "Master, don't read, Mo Nian! Let's take a look at his appearance." But there were a bunch of pink skeletons there.Tang Seng was shocked and said: "Wukong, this talent is dead, why did he turn into a pile of skeletons?" The traveler said: "He is a zombie with hidden spirits, and he is charming here. If he is killed by me, he will appear in his original form." There is a line of characters on his spine, called Mrs. Bone." Tang Seng heard it and believed it.How could Bajie be next to him and said: "Master, his hands are heavy with a stick, and he beats people to death. I'm afraid that when you read that, you deliberately change your appearance to cover your eyes!" Tang Seng was really soft-hearted. Believe him again, and start thinking again. This time, Zhu Bajie's goal was finally achieved, and Tang Seng fulfilled his wish and expelled Monkey King. In a team, brothers and sisters don't live in harmony like brothers, but squeeze out and frame them everywhere. This is the incompetence of the leader and a disaster for the entire team. After talking about Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie, it is time to talk about our good old Monk Sha, so the third question is the indifference of Drifting Monk. The Drifting Monk in the original book is very different from the Drifting Monk in the TV series, which made the author who watched the TV series first and then read the novel feel very disappointed and dissatisfied with Drifting Monk when he read the original work. However, thinking about the problem in another way, Drifting Monk, Zhu Bajie and Monkey King represent the interests of different rulers, and Drifting Monk's indifference and indifference are also reasonable to a certain extent. Why does the author say Drifting is indifferent?In the episode Three Fighting the Bone Demon, from the beginning to the end, the author has carefully read it countless times, but I have never found a single word of Drifting Monk, and Drifting Monk only appeared three times. The first time - the goblin stepped forward to take him, but saw that the elder's left and right subordinates were protected by two generals, and they did not dare to approach him.He said who are the two generals?Said it was Bajie and Drifting Monk.Although Bajie and Drifting have no great skills, Bajie is the marshal of the canopy and Drifting is the general of the curtain, his aura has not been vented yet, so he dare not approach him. In this appearance, Mr. Wu seems to praise Zhu Bajie and Drifting, but actually satirizes, "Although he has no great ability...the majesty has not been vented." The second appearance - Xingzhe said: "Master, don't blame me, let's take a look at what is in this jar." Drifting helped the elder, and looked closer. This time it's just another display, the author deliberately mentions it because he is afraid that people will forget that there is Drifting Monk. The third time - the great sage jumped up, shook his body, tucked his fur back, and then told Monk Drifting: "My dear brother, you are a good person, but you only need to be careful about the words of the eight precepts, and be more careful on the way. If you suddenly If a goblin captures Master, you can say that Lao Sun is his great apprentice. Western hairy monsters, after hearing my tricks, dare not hurt my master." A total of three appearances, it is true that misfortune comes from the mouth, silence is Jin's famous saying, he didn't say a word, not even an expression. Tang Seng doesn't trust Sun Wukong, and Zhu Bajie makes trouble. At this time, if Drifting can say a word or two for Sun Wukong, Tang Seng may not drive Sun Wukong away.But the reality is that Tang Seng drove Sun Wukong several times, chanted a spell and almost cursed Sun Wukong to death, Sand Monk didn't say a word, and when Monkey King was about to leave, he taught Sand Monk, but Sand Monk was noncommittal, let alone the slightest way to persuade him to stay. meaning.The author was heartbroken, so I had to use one sentence to evaluate the Drifting Monk—inhumane, ruthless to the end. Why doesn't Drifting help Monkey King?The author believes that there are roughly the following reasons. First, the two come from different backgrounds and do not belong to the same camp. Second, they have no common interests other than learning scriptures. Third, Sun Wukong’s ability is indeed too strong. I have no room for development; the fourth is that Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie are unhappy, and I can benefit from it; the last is that he is unwilling to offend Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie. Tang Seng's intolerance, Zhu Bajie's jealous frame, Drifting's indifference and ruthlessness all drive away the hard-working and super-capable Monkey King. The arrival of disasters on the road to learn scriptures. The disaster of the scripture learning team was fully revealed when they met the yellow-robed monster incarnated by Kui Mulang, which corresponded to what Sun Wukong said to Tang Seng-without my grandson, you can't reach the West Paradise. And Tang Seng was even framed by the yellow-robed monster as a tiger spirit, and he thoroughly experienced the feeling of being wronged.
