Chapter 37 Chapter 7 The Three Demons of Che Chi Kingdom—Strong Abilities, Strong Backing, Die Miserably

The author has always thought that Wu Chengen's writing about Che Chi's Three Demons was to a large extent intended to imply a social phenomenon, that is-chaos starts from the top. Chaos starts from the top, social chaos, national instability, and people's contradictions all come from the corruption and reaction of the upper ruling class. Why did Che Chiguo's three monsters gain power? The reason why Che Chiguo's three monsters gained power can be attributed to the connivance of gods. If you want the wind to make the wind, and the rain to make the rain, without the cooperation of the gods, how can the demeanor of the three monsters of Che Chi Kingdom be so good?

It is written in the book that the three demons of Chechi Kingdom enshrine Sanqing, so the Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Daojun enjoy the tribute of the three demons. They are short-handed and soft-hearted, so they have to indulge the three demons Yes, and it is precisely because the three demons of Che Chiguo practiced the five thunders rectification method, and the backer behind them is the famous Sanqing, so the Jade Emperor gave them so much face. Look at how luxurious the three monsters are begging for rain. The rain, thunder, and lightning four-way gods are not so complete. Just the rain, and the Dragon King of the Four Seas came. What a big scene!

Sanqing and the Jade Emperor indulged, the gods gave face, the king on the ground was confused, and the corruption above directly led to the rampant evil below. Isn't there a saying that when a country is about to perish, there must be evil?This is chaos from the top. We can see the shadow of the corruption of heaven in the little earth god. In the original book - so panicked that the Great Immortal Luli saw (Sun Wukong) had such a trick, he immediately chanted a mantra and taught the god of the land in the workshop: "Hold the head, and when I win the monk, play the king, I will build a small ancestral hall with you." In the big temple, the clay statues were turned into golden bodies." It turned out that the gods of the land obeyed his orders because of his five thunder methods, and secretly pressed the head of the traveler.

This land god couldn't bear the temptation of a little bit of sugar-coated bullets, and even offended the famous Monkey King and committed crimes against the wind. He was really corrupt to the bone. Sun Wukong should really give him a good meal. There is also a very interesting description in the book. When Sun Wukong asked Deng Tianjun to thunder, he asked, kill me a few people who usually do evil, so as to warn the world. Deng Tianjun complied, and killed a large number of them. The author asked, why was it not like this before, and had to wait for Monkey King to explain?Did you Tianjun only know about thunder before? (Author's note: Deng Tianjun may say this in his heart, although those bad guys are not good, but they usually worship me a lot, I am embarrassed to do it.)

In fact, although the three monsters of Che Chiguo flattered Sanqing and the Jade Emperor, they were different from other monsters in that they were a group of monsters with independent characteristics. Although they are monsters, they did not engage in murder and arson, but managed Chechi Kingdom smoothly; although they were monsters, they were favored by the king and helped by gods; The people fight against each other, but it is not for Tang monk meat or cassock or weapons, but for revenge, to avenge Monkey King's murder, prisoner and teasing; these three monsters did not do any evil, but they died in a terrible way... These are theirs. uniqueness.

Rather than saying that the appearance of the Three Demons was a disaster for Che Chiguo, it is better to say that their appearance was a revolution for Che Chiguo. First of all, they let the monarchs and people of Che Chi Kingdom find new beliefs and spiritual sustenance from top to bottom.They are called national teachers by the king, and great immortals by their subjects. Some people say that people with faith are the happiest people. If this sentence is correct, then the king and people of Che Chi Kingdom at this time must be a group of people living in a happy life. people in. Second, the three monsters of Che Chi Kingdom drove away the group of monks in the country who were eating vegetarian meals. They let the people of Che Chi Kingdom see what strength is and what it means to be a powerful person.

Thirdly, the three demons of Chechi Kingdom have made the dreams of the people of Chechi Kingdom a reality, and the people of Chechi Kingdom live happily in a world of great harmony with good weather. Fourth, the three demons of Chechi Kingdom have completely subverted the tradition of evil spirits and crooked ways. What they enshrine are Sanqing, and they practice the righteous method of five thunders. They are dignified and polite. change. Fifth, the three monsters of the Chechi Kingdom respected the king and treated each other with the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers. They neither used any evil methods to confuse the king, nor did they drive away the confused king and replace him. My own salary can be said to be a gentleman who loves money and gets it in a proper way.

Sixth, the three monsters of Chechi Kingdom are very humane, not only brotherly, but also caring for the apprentices. After learning that two apprentices were beaten to death by Monkey King, the three demons are determined to take revenge and never die. Seventh, the three monsters of Chechi Kingdom defend their dignity and respect their fellows, which can be said to have made outstanding contributions to the development of Taoism in Chechi Kingdom. Judging from the above, the three monsters of Chechi Kingdom are completely gentlemen in the way of demons. They did not occupy mountains as kings or fall into grass as bandits like other monsters, and they did not rob houses and disregard human lives. , praying for the people, they have real talents and practical learning, high abilities, can move the Jade Emperor at the top, drive the land at the bottom, they are proficient in all kinds of wonderful methods in the world, they should not die in the hands of Monkey King, let alone die They were subjected to extremely cruel methods of beheading, heart-gouging, and oil cooking.

In the section where Huli Daxian and Sun Wukong compete for rain, Sun Wukong is full of doubts. This guy is just a monster. Why do so many gods help? He wants wind and thunder?Sun Wukong asked Deng Tianjun, "How did you come to Zhicheng! What is the decree?" Tianjun said: "The Taoist Five Thunder Law is true. He issued a document, burned the document, alarmed the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor threw it down. According to the decree, we will go to the mansion of Tianzun with the sound of thunder in Jiutian Yingyuan. I will come here according to the decree to help the thunder and lightning make it rain." The tiger power immortal can actually alarm the Jade Emperor to make a decree for Tianjun and other gods to help the thunder and lightning make rain It can be said to be extremely strong.In the beheading section between Huli Daxian and Monkey King, although Huli Daxian is not as good as Sun Wukong, he is also a real talent. If it is not for Sun Wukong's secret tricks, Huli Daxian will not die so uselessly.At least Immortal Huli is far more powerful than Cong Zhu Bajie and Drifting Monk. It can be seen from the conversation between these two guys that they don't have that kind of ability.

Great Immortal Luli and Monkey King had no fear at all when they cut their stomachs and cut their hearts out, but unfortunately there is one thing, these three monsters are too persistent. They should be able to feel the powerful strength of Monkey King during the few games of begging for rain and guessing riddles. , and it can be said to be overwhelming strength, but these three monsters retreated without knowing the difficulty, and fought to the end, so that after Huli Daxian was killed, Luli Daxian still didn't know how to learn a lesson, he was not cautious, and did not let Yangli Daxian Standing on the sidelines to guard against Monkey King's mischief, the contestants who should have been tied were easily killed by Monkey King.

It is even more pity for Immortal Yangli, this brother practiced Taoism in Zhongnan Mountain, and he spent a lot of effort to become a cold dragon. Not only was Sun Wukong asked the Dragon King to arrest him, but he was also cooked to death. As the saying goes, you can still live if you do evil by the sky, but you can't live when you do evil by yourself. The death of the three demons is largely due to themselves.Strong skills, strong backing, but a miserable death!Their death is precisely because of their strong ability and strong backing. As the saying goes, you can still live if you do evil by the sky, but you can't live when you do evil by yourself. The death of the three demons is largely due to themselves.Strong skills, strong backing, but a miserable death!Their death is precisely because of their strong ability and strong backing. Because of their strong ability and strong backing, they are ignorant of current affairs, let alone the law of the jungle.What King Che Chiguo said is obvious-the strong are more powerful.Be smart, retreat in the face of difficulties, and save your life is the most important thing. For monsters like Monkey King, let alone monsters, gods will have a headache when they see it. , who will die if you don't die?This is an era where the weak preyed on the strong. The Jade Emperor gave you face, but also Monkey King. The gods of wind, rain, thunder and lightning are afraid of you, and even more afraid of Monkey King. Because of their strong skills and strong backing, they were not sure about their position, or they didn't find their position at all.The era of the Three Demons is an era that pays attention to their background, what kind of background, what kind of life they live, don't cross the border, don't leapfrog, and don't take it for granted that the forces you curry favor with are your own forces.As grassroots monsters, Che Chiguo's three monsters must know how to survive. Even if you have already courted Sanqing and the Jade Emperor, but cursing is just cursing, you are still not at the level of Sanqing. They are not people at the level of the Jade Emperor. When they are happy, they will treat you like a rook in chess and go forward indomitably. Most of the time, they are more willing to do things like abandoning the rook to protect the handsome.If you want to survive in a world with chaotic rules, you must pay attention to strategy. It is precisely because of their strong skills and strong backing that they don't even have the political sensitivity that ordinary people should have.As soon as the sutra pilgrimage team appeared in the rivers and lakes, gods and bodhisattvas escorted them all the way. Harmony between Buddhism and Taoism has become the main theme of the era, but the three demons of Che Chi Kingdom did not know it. , imprisoning monks, enslaving monks, and relentlessly obstructing the plan of learning Buddhist scriptures, isn't this purely courting death?No matter how much you flatter Sanqing and Jade Emperor, Sanqing and Jade Emperor will not give excuses for the immortals and Buddhas of Buddhism and Taoism to destroy harmony just because of you three little monsters.If you come out to hang out, especially with politicians, if you don’t have a little bit of political awareness, you will die miserably, because every big political movement must have a leader, and there must be a stepping stone. Even if it is difficult for you to rise, you must ensure that Don't be trampled on.But the Three Demons are not even qualified to be stepping stones, they are at best political victims abandoned by San Qing. In addition to the above reasons, the personality flaws of the Three Demons are also a major cause of their tragic end. Their character flaw is stubbornness. After all, compared with other monsters, the three monsters of Che Chiguo do not have any major evil deeds, and there seems to be no minor evil deeds (the monks are beaten because the monks themselves are not up to date, and they can’t even ask for rain, who is to blame), Monkey King He also didn't intend to get rid of the three demons, otherwise, with Monkey King's ability, the Sanqing Temple would be enough to wipe out the three demons, so why use urine to moles them.If the Three Demons didn't gamble with Monkey King on their skills, maybe Monkey King just took the customs certificate and left without even a chance to kill them, and even if Monkey King wanted to kill them, they would still have a chance to escape.After Sun Wukong and others left, Che Chiguo still ruled them all over the world, and with their abilities, wherever they went, they would be popular and drink spicy food, but the three demons wanted to fight against Monkey King and the others, and ate it once. You can't let go of the dark loss. If you lose one game, you will compete again, and if you lose one game, you will compete again. Why bother?Why insist on competing with Monkey King? From this point of view, the Three Demons have personality defects, stubborn, stubborn, inflexible, and too angry. As the saying goes, let go, be at ease, the three monsters are so stubborn, so free and easy. Taking a step back, the sea and the sky are bright, and the urine has been drunk, what is more unbearable than this?
