Chapter 26 Chapter Two: The Unexplainable Pain of Infatuation——The Country of Daughters

I have always liked the king of the Daughter Kingdom in Liuxiaolingtong’s version. In the TV series, the king begged Tang Seng to stay and marry him. Tang Seng couldn’t help it, and even said such a sentence: "If there is an afterlife, I..." The king interrupted him and said: "I don't want the next life, I only want this life." This dialogue became a classic that many TVs imitated later. However, in the original book, the image of the king of the Daughter Country is not as full as in the TV series, and his pursuit of love is not as urgent as in the TV series, and Tang Seng didn't say love words like in the TV series.

In the fifty-fourth chapter, the king of Xiliang female country heard that the postman came to report that Tang Seng and others were passing by. The king said that he would marry Tang Seng almost without thinking about it. The reason was simple. The postman said Tang Seng was a handsome guy.In the original book - the queen said: "Your lord, how did you look like Yudi? How did his apprentice look ugly?" Yicheng said: "Yudi is handsome and handsome. He is a man of the upper kingdom and a person who supports China in the south. Then The three apprentices describe it as ferocious, and their appearance is fine." The queen said: "In that case, why not take his apprentice with him, switch Guan Wen, and send him to the west, leaving only Yudi behind?"

The Queen's last sentence "Leave only Yudi" is very interesting, which made the author guess that the Queen's original intention was to keep all four of them. Once Yi Cheng said that the three apprentices were ugly, he specially left one Tang Seng. When Yi Cheng went to ask Tang Seng for marriage, Tang Seng's behavior was actually very ambiguous—the grand master bowed and said: "It's fortunate that my younger brother, grandpa, is here today. I have come here to ask for marriage according to my king's order." Sanzang said: " Good! Good! I, a poor monk, came to your land alone, without any children to accompany me. There are only three stubborn people. I don’t know what kind of marriage my lord is asking for?” Yicheng said: “I know that Yudi is a man from the upper kingdom of China. The king is willing to use the wealth of a country to recruit the grandpa of the younger brother of the imperial family as his husband, and sit in the south and call him an orphan, and my king is willing to be the empress." Hearing this, Sanzang bowed his head and remained silent.The grand master said: "You should not miss it when you meet a man. There are things like this in the world, but it is rare in the world to rely on the wealth of the country." Stop if you can stop, don't be a matchmaker." Sanzang said: "Wukong, it's up to you!" The traveler said: "According to the old sun, it's good for you to be here. Since ancient times, marriages of thousands of miles are like threads. Well, where is there such a corresponding relationship?" Sanzang said: "Apprentice, we are greedy for wealth and honor here, but who wants to go to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures? Doesn't it mean that I will destroy the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?" Then Sun Wukong told the female grand master After agreeing to the marriage, Tang Seng did not object. When the grand master left, Tang Seng grabbed Monkey King and scolded: "You monkey head, you will kill me! How can you say such a thing, teach me to marry here, you Xitian Worship Buddha, even if I die, I dare not do this.”

During the whole courting process, Tang Seng only said four sentences. The first sentence was: "I didn't bring my son, but I have three apprentices. Which one do you like?" The second sentence was: "Wukong, what do you say?" It's up to you." The third sentence is: "We are here to enjoy the blessings, who is going to learn from the scriptures, isn't the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty going to wait in a hurry?" The fourth sentence is: "You dead monkey, how can you arrange it like this? ? You go to learn scriptures, I am married here, and I dare not kill me!"

Except for these four sentences, Tang Seng was deaf and dumb throughout the whole process. These four sentences explain many problems. First of all, Tang Seng is willing to marry his apprentice here, that is, he did not strongly oppose or even cater to the queen's request. These four sentences explain many problems. First of all, Tang Seng is willing to marry his apprentice here, that is, he did not strongly oppose or even cater to the queen's request. Secondly, Tang Seng said that he did not dare not to learn from the scriptures, not because he did not want to learn from the scriptures. The fact that he did not dare not to learn from the scriptures was due to objective reasons, and his reluctance to not to go was a subjective attitude. The task was given by Li Shimin, and even more so by the Tathagata. He dared not disobey the emperor's order, nor did he dare to disobey the Buddha's order.

Third, it is all up to Sun Wukong's arrangement, that is, he gave up his leadership in this matter. There are three possibilities for why he gave up: one is that he is excited and doesn't know what to do; the other is that he has limited ability to deal with people and really doesn't know what to do The third is that I am willing, but I am not willing to say it from my own mouth.The author insidiously speculated that Tang Seng was willing deep down in his heart, so when Monkey King said it, he didn't say a word. When only the four masters and apprentices were left, Tang Seng scolded Monkey King, saying that he didn't dare.In this case, the Grand Master and Yicheng will definitely report the queen's own attitude, and he will have an explanation in front of the apprentices.

In fact, as a monk, Tang Seng insisted that he should not break the precept against adultery under such circumstances, but he had already lied and deceived the king of his daughter country. Let's look at the following - the queen called out: "My younger brother of the Tang Dynasty, why don't you come to occupy the phoenix and ride the phoenix?" Sanzang heard the words, his ears were red and his face was red, and he dared not raise his head in embarrassment. Buddhist disciples pay attention to all four things are empty, and the physical body is nothing more than a stinky skin in their eyes. However, as a holy monk and an eminent monk, Tang Seng was "red in the face, shy and dare not raise his head", which shows that Tang Seng's concentration and Dharma cultivation are far from reaching In the realm of a holy monk and an eminent monk, he has not completely got rid of the temptation of female sex, otherwise, his heart is clear, how dare he not meet the queen, how dare he not answer.

Therefore, many people say that Tang Seng is the most steadfast learner among the four monks, but I often think that the most steadfast learner is Sun Wukong.Tang Seng thought about giving up learning scriptures many times when he encountered difficulties, and Monkey King was often the one who comforted Tang Seng. This is not the author's nonsense, there are examples to prove it. Chapter Thirty-Second——The master and apprentices were walking in the appreciative room, when they saw a mountain blocking the way.Tang Seng said: "Apprentices, be careful. If you encounter a high mountain, you may be blocked by tigers and wolves." The traveler said: "Master, monks should not speak at home. You remember that the monk Wuchao said that there is no hindrance, no hindrance, no fear, stay away The words of reversing the dream? But it is only to sweep away the dirt on the heart and clean the dust around the ears. It is difficult to be a master without suffering. You don’t have to worry about it, but if you have an old grandson, even if the sky falls, you can be safe. I’m afraid What tigers and wolves!" The elder reined in his horse and said, "When I left Chang'an by decree, I only recalled the face of the Buddha when I came to the west. The golden elephant color in the relic country, and the jade spot in the pagoda of the stupa. Searching for the nameless water in the world, I have traveled all over the world without finding a mountain. Chasing smoke and waves, when will I be able to be idle?" Hearing this, the traveler laughed and said, "Master, what is so difficult if you want to be idle? After the success, all predestined relationships will be gone, and all dharmas will be empty. At that time, It's natural, but it's not because the body is idle?" Hearing this, the elder could only enjoy himself and forget his worries.

Here is a passage, firstly, it shows that Tang Seng’s heart is not stable; secondly, it shows that Tang Seng’s Zen mind is not enough; thirdly, Tang Seng has begun to be irritable after he has not been able to walk to Lingshan for a long time. This is a utilitarian mentality that is neither calm nor calm.On the contrary, Sun Wukong remembered what Zen Master Wuchao said, and realized the truth, and in turn taught and comforted Tang Seng. Chapter 36 - Sanzang immediately shouted: "Apprentice, look at the precipitous mountains there, you must be careful, lest there will be demonic obstacles invading you." The traveler said: "Master, stop thinking wildly, as long as you There is nothing wrong with the fixed nature and spirit." Sanzang said: "My apprentice, why is it so difficult to travel in the Western Paradise? I remember leaving Chang'an City. On the road, spring ends and summer comes, autumn ends and winter solstice, four or five years, why can't I go?" Get it?" Pilgrim heard this, he laughed and said: "It's early, it's early, I haven't left the gate yet!" Bajie said: "Brother, don't lie. Is there such a gate in the world?" Pedestrian said: "Brother, we are still here Walk around in the main room!" Drifting said with a smile: "Brother, don't scare me with big words. There is such a big room over there, but there is nowhere to buy such a big bridge." The traveler said: "Brother, if you are old When Sun looked at it, he regarded the blue sky as roof tiles, the sun and the moon as window lattices; the four mountains and five peaks as beams and pillars, and the heaven and earth are like an open hall!" Bajie listened and said, "That's all, that's all, we just have to go back for a while!" The traveler said: "Don't talk nonsense, just follow the old grandson."

This passage is still the same. The determination of Tang Seng's four people is higher than others, and Sun Wukong is optimistic and positive, which can be said to be the support of the will of the entire scripture learning team.If Sun Wukong's will collapses, it can be said that the entire team of Buddhist scriptures will be disbanded. Zhu Bajie said that this conclusion is well explained-Bajie said: "Your son is talking nonsense! Don't you see that Sun Xingzhe is crying for the future? He is a hero who is not afraid of diving into the sky, chopping with an axe, burning with an axe, or getting into a frying pan. Now he is wearing a sad hat, crying with tears in his eyes. It must be that mountain is steep and the monster is fierce. How can weak people like us go?"

It's still the thirty-sixth chapter - the master went tremblingly into this deep mountain, feeling miserable in his heart. He put his horse in his arms and called out, "Oh Wukong! I, since the Yizhi Mountaineering League, was sent out of the city by Wang Buliuxing. I met Sanlengzi on the road, On the way, he urged Aristolochia. Seeking slopes and turning streams to seek Nepeta, climbing mountains to worship Poria cocos, defending yourself like bamboo, when will fennel worship the court?" Hearing this, Sun Dasheng sneered: "Master, don't worry about it, don't be anxious .And move forward with confidence, and give you back the 'success will come naturally'." Sun Wukong's sneer is because Sun Wukong has seen through that Tang Seng is really a pussy from the inside out, and the reason why he went to learn the scriptures is because he has the king's order and the Dharma purpose of Guanyin. Chapter 81 - The elder said with tears: "I wrote: the ministers and monks bowed their heads three times, and the Long Live Mountain called to worship the sage; , hoping to see the World Honored One at Lingshan Mountain. Unexpectedly, there will be disasters on the way, and there will be disasters on the way. The monk is seriously ill and difficult to progress, and the Buddhism is far-reaching to reach the gate of heaven. There are scriptures but no destiny and nothing to work. Don’t send people now when they are rehearsed." Hearing this, the traveler said, He couldn't help laughing and said: "Master, you are so weak. You are a little sick, so you just thought about it. If you are seriously ill and dying, just ask me. My old grandson has a skill of his own, asking 'that The King of Hades dares to get angry? The judge dares to issue a ticket? The ghost envoy to hook up?' If I am annoyed, I will show my temperament of making troubles in the heavenly palace, and go all the way into the nether world, and catch ten generations of Hades, one by one. If his tendons are cramped, don't let him go!" Tang Seng was devastated after catching a cold. He wanted to give up his great cause of learning Buddhist scriptures, and even wrote a suicide note. Chapter 85 - At the place of joy, suddenly a high mountain blocked the road. Tang Seng reined in his horse and said, "Apprentices, look at the majestic mountains in front of you. You must be careful!" The traveler laughed and said, "Don't worry! Don't worry! I'll protect you It's all right!" Sanzang said, "Stop talking about nothing. I saw that mountain peak standing upright, with a fierce look in the distance, and stormy clouds flying out, and I gradually felt startled, numb all over, and restless." The traveler said with a smile: "You put Zen Master Wuchao's "Multi-Heart Sutra" has long been forgotten?" Sanzang said, "I remember." The traveler said, "Although you remember, there are still four verses, but you have forgotten them." Sanzang said: "Those four verses The traveler said: "Buddhas are not far away from the Lingshan Mountain. The Lingshan Mountain is only in your heart. Everyone has a Lingshan Pagoda so that they can practice under the Lingshan Pagoda." Sanzang said: "Disciple, don't I know? If you follow these four sentences, thousands of Sutras are all about cultivating the mind." The traveler said: "Needless to say, the heart is pure and solitary, and all situations in the heart are clear. If you make mistakes, you will become lazy, and you will not succeed for thousands of years. But you must be sincere. , Lei Yin is only in front of me. Like you are so frightened and panicked, and your mind is restless, the road is far away, and Lei Yin is also far away. Don't be suspicious, follow me." The elder felt refreshed when he heard the words, and all worries were relieved . Wukong's Buddhist heart and Buddha-nature are judged by Tang Seng's superiority and inferiority, so I don't need to say much.In the author's humble opinion, Tang Seng is a man who is eager for quick success and quick profit, and actively pursues success in his career. His heart is not in studying Buddhist scriptures, but in going to the west to learn from them and succeed.He is different from Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong doesn't care much about the result of learning the scriptures, because in Sun Wukong's view, it is a matter of time to get the scriptures. He became more and more mature, and his words became more and more rich in Buddhist principles. Later, he had already begun to persuade Tang Seng.For Tang Seng, the process of learning the scriptures is not important, no matter how you walk, as long as you can reach the Lingshan Mountain, it is not important to get the right way during the walking process, the most important thing is to learn the scriptures and achieve positive results. Therefore, Tang Seng is a person who is burdened with leadership tasks but does not have a very strong Buddha heart. He will be afraid, he will be angry, he will complain, he will curse, he will lie, and he will be negative. The characteristics that eminent monks should show.Therefore, when he faced the queen, no one knew what he was really thinking, but what we can be sure of is that the reason why he wanted to get away was because of the double pressure of Emperor Tang and Lingshan, and he didn't dare to stay. . It's not that he didn't want to, but that the Buddha didn't dare to fall in love with a beautiful woman. Within the rules of the game of the Lingshan forces, how could things that ignore the rules of the game be allowed to happen? Therefore, the doomed ending of the king of the Daughter Kingdom has been passionate and vacant since ancient times. When the pilgrimage team left the country of daughters, Tang Seng slowed down from the dragon carriage, and said to the queen, "Please go back, Your Majesty, and let the poor monk go to learn the scriptures." The queen was shocked when she heard this, and grabbed Tang Seng and said, "Brother Yu, I would like to use the wealth of a country to recruit you as my husband. Tomorrow I will ascend to the throne and be called the king. After I become the king, I would like to eat all the wedding feasts, but why do you change your mind?" Mouth writhing, ears shaking, rushed to the front of the car, and shouted: "Our monk family and you are a couple! Let my master go!" The queen was so frightened when she saw him making a fool of herself, she fell into a coma. Get into the chariot. In any case, this plan was determined by Monkey King, and the author has always been worried about it. The old Sun was famous for his life, but he deceived a woman who had never been in love. Finally, it concludes with the lyrics of the two songs in the TV series, when the king of the daughter country and Tang Seng met and when they parted - "Daughter's Love": Mandarin ducks and butterflies fly together / Spring in the garden is intoxicating / Quietly ask the monk / Daughter Is she beautiful/Is my daughter beautiful/What do you say about kingship and wealth/What are the rules and regulations I am afraid of/I only hope that the sky will last forever/Be close to the person I love/Love love Iraq/Love love Iraq/May this life always be with you/May this life always be with you/Always go hand in hand. "Meeting is Difficult and Farewell is Difficult": Meeting is Difficult/Farewell Is Difficult/How can I tell my heart that there are so many words/I have so much tenderness/He will be more determined when he goes away/I only complain that this life has no fate/The way is endless and the voice is cherished/Silent Blessings for peace / Things in the world are often difficult to fulfill people's wishes / Let's see how many times the bright moon will be round again / Gone far away / Gone far away / From now on, my soul will haunt my dreams / I will go away / I will go far away / From now on, my soul will haunt my dreams. There is nothing wrong with the king of the Daughter Kingdom being obsessed with love, but her tragedy is that she is too obsessed and falls in love with someone she shouldn't love.What she loves is a passerby, a passerby who does not belong to her circle of life, a passerby whose career is more important than love. Aside from Tang Seng's passing status, she is a queen, Tang Seng is a Buddha, and the love of the wrong family is doomed to be empty. The misfit here does not mean that the wealth and status of the two people are different, but that the values ​​and worldviews of the two are very different. How can people who do not have a common language come together just by carnal desires?
