Chapter 43 Chapter Thirteen Inspiration King and Sai Taisui——Two Family Members of Avalokitesvara

In the whole book, there are very few family members or mounts of immortals who become demons one after another. The Taishang Laojun is an exception. He lent the golden and silver horned king to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and got the green bull down; Manjusri Bodhisattva is even more Shameless, he moved a castrated lion around and turned it into a monster twice; but for Guanyin Bodhisattva, they were all pediatrics, because Guanyin Bodhisattva made the two most shameless monsters! These two monsters are the King of Inspiration and Sai Taisui. Among these two monsters, if one has to choose the most shameless monster, then the author firmly believes that the King of Inspiration is the most shameless monster in the whole book. His What is shameless is that he cannibalizes people, and only eats boys and girls, and let people send out their own children for him to enjoy, and build an ancestral hall for him, and make a golden body for him.

This king of inspiration is nothing more than a goldfish, and no one cares about what he does. To be precise, no one dares to care. Could it be that in a world ruled by gods, can a monster let someone build a shrine for him at will and be enshrined by others?Could it be that a monster can control the wind, rain, frost and snow of a place at will? Of course not, these things are things that gods as the ruling class cannot tolerate. If monsters do this, why do we need us gods? I also don't believe that the people in Chenjiazhuang didn't pray to heaven, and I don't believe that the gods of the day and night, the gods of the night, and the four meritorious officials didn't know about it, and the Jade Emperor didn't know about it.

Therefore, the reason why the king of inspiration can exist is entirely because of the connivance of the heavens, so that he has been able to get away with it. Why is the king of inspiration able to get away with it to Monkey King and Tongtianhe? The reason is simple, the owner of this goldfish is the famous Guanyin Bodhisattva. It is ironic that the most worshiped god in the world is Guanyin Bodhisattva. It can be said that Guanyin Bodhisattva was an expert on infertility in ancient times, but her goldfish only eat virgin boys and girls. Ziguanyin. Is this goldfish always asking his master to treat infertility in order to take revenge on human beings?

The reason is unknown, but the author still can't understand why a goldfish likes to eat virgin boys and girls so much. After much deliberation, the author can only say that this is Wu Chengen's great irony. A Bodhisattva who is merciful and merciful, who specially sends tools for infertile patients in the world to carry on their families, but in the lotus pond there is a goldfish that makes waves and eats virgins. How can a bodhisattva who can't even manage his own pool bring compassion to the world? It's still the same sentence as I said, chaos starts from the top. If Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and immortals such as Guanyin Bodhisattva can restrain themselves, then there will be more than half fewer monsters on the way to learn the scriptures.

Moreover, these monsters are the monsters that bring the greatest obstacles to the journey of learning scriptures. These Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Immortals are all rulers. Confucianism says that if the family is not well-organized, how can the world be pacified? Therefore, in Wu Chengen's eyes and in his book, it is a top-down unequal world, and the best way to control chaos is not to let others eliminate the chaos, but to let the rulers fundamentally control the chaos.Therefore, the ending of the goldfish essence must be Guanyin himself to subdue it. Chaos starts from above, and chaos is governed from above!Wu Chengen is very idealistic.

The author has something else to say about the King of Inspiration. The King of Inspiration is just a goldfish in the pond of Guanyin Bodhisattva. He only eats boys and girls, and he is known as the king. This can explain a problem very well. An insignificant stuff in the family of a big man is an expert who cannot be provoked by ordinary people. As the saying goes, the prime minister's housekeeper is the top seven An official, who is in a high position and cannot manage his family, is a flaw to himself and a disaster to the world.To borrow a classic line, with great power comes great responsibility.Instead of getting up in the morning without eating or putting on makeup, you Guanyin Bodhisattva sits in the Chaoyin Cave and weaves flower baskets to show your determination to catch demons and subdue demons. You might as well manage your family members, even a goldfish.

After conquering the King of Inspiration, another familiar image appeared in Tongtian River, that is Lao Yuan, that is, the old Wang Bajing who finally wetted the scriptures retrieved by Tang Seng.Lao Yuan's experience is very similar to that of the Heishui River God. Lao Yuan also knows the origin of King Inspiration and the method to get rid of King Inspiration, but he still waits until Monkey King arrives before he can return home. Why?If you don't understand, you can go back and read the chapter on Heishuihe God, I believe you will understand. Speaking of Laoyuan, I have to say another thing, why the scriptures have flaws.As we all know, after Tang Seng took back the scriptures, he dropped the scriptures into the water when he passed the Tongtian River. After he took them out and put them on the stone to dry, one piece stuck to the stone and could not be removed, so the scriptures were incomplete. up.

Is there any meaning for Wu Chengen to do such a thing?The author believes that Wu Cheng'en is trying to tell us a truth, to be entrusted by others, to be loyal to others, otherwise you will have regrets in your life. The scriptures retrieved by Tang Seng fell into the river because Tang Seng forgot what Lao Yuan entrusted to him. Lao Yuan asked Tang Seng to ask Tathagata Buddha when he would be able to cultivate human form when he arrived in the West Paradise. Tang Seng agreed at that time. , When he arrived in Xitian, he forgot. When Lao Yuan got angry, he threw Tang Monk and his scriptures into the river, and the scriptures eventually became incomplete.

A small omission can often cause lifelong regrets. Finally, let me talk about an interesting topic. Tang Seng was caught in the water more than once along the way. Why didn't he drown?He's just a mortal, he doesn't know how to avoid water; he doesn't have gills, so he can't breathe in water, so why doesn't he die?The answer is simple, because there are gods such as four-valued meritorious service and five-fang Jiedi secretly protecting it. As for Sai Taisui, the author originally didn't want to write about this monster because he is too wretched, but I still wrote it because he is really wretched and has characteristics.

Sai Taisui is said to be Comrade Avalokitesvara’s mount, but Avalokitesvara himself said it. No one has ever seen Avalokitesvara ride him. Maybe he is a pet of Avalokitesvara. Avalokitesvara wanted to show that he is still useful. Said he was a mount. But this Sai Tai Sui is really useless at all, but he has undoubtedly inherited a characteristic of Comrade Guanyin, that is, he likes to show off and likes to meddle in other people's business. When Sun Wukong was about to kill Sai Taisui, Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared. Guanyin Bodhisattva said that the reason why Sai Taisui became a demon in the lower realm was because he listened to the conversations of several Bodhisattvas and felt that the king was hateful, so he decided to become a demon in the lower realm. The king came to relieve the disaster.

This is purely an excuse, the real reason behind Sai Tai Sui's lower bound is lust! Why do you say that?The reason is as follows. Let’s not talk about how absurd it is for Sai Taisui to break up other people’s husbands and wives to eliminate disasters, nor how shameless it is for you, Sai Taisui, to force the queen to be the wife of the village, or how cruel it is for Sai Taisui to threaten King Zhuzi to eat the people all over the country, But just say that Sai Taisui asked the king every five months for two maids, we can see a lot of problems. In the original book, King Zhuzi complained to Sun Wukong like this—he (Sai ​​Taisui) took pictures of the Golden Holy Palace on the May Day of the previous year, and when he came to October, he wanted to take two palace maids, which meant that he would serve the empress. .In March of the old year, I came to ask for two more maids; in July, I went to two more; in February this year, I went to two more; I don't know when they will come again. " Why do you need two maids every five months?It is definitely not going back to be a mother, nor will it be raised as a daughter. The answer can only be put on the bed and used for sleeping at night. Why use Gong'e, because the queen has thorns on her body, you can't touch it, you can only look at it, and you can't stop looking, so you have to use Gong'e to extinguish the fire. pervert! Although Manjushri brought the lion down to occupy the king's wife and children, the lion was eunuched anyway. Although people don't know whether Manjushri castrated it himself, at least it shows that Manjushri still has a sense of responsibility, but Guanyin Bodhisattva It's too shameless, if there is no queen's thorn, it is entirely possible for Sai Taisui to ruin others. Sai Taisui is not only lascivious, but also very unskillful and spineless. He captured the queen for three years, but he can only look at it, not touch it. , but even so, Sai Taisui was still respectful and respectful to the queen, and would never abandon him. Perhaps, Sai Taisui firmly believed that after a long time, the queen's thorns would automatically fall off. Let’s talk about Sai Taisui’s stupidity, Sun Wukong changed into a fake bell, deceived the real bell, and set up Sai Taisui’s words, telling Sai Taisui which one is male and the other is female, and Sai Taisui believed it. There are a few words to comment on Sai Taisui, which is very interesting-"The demon king is honest", so honest, so honest that Sun Wukong claimed to be Sai Taisui's grandfather, and Sai Taisui asked the empress of the Holy Palace if there was a surname "wai" among the family names . Sun Wukong went to invite the battle, and the little demon went to report, the demon said: "Stop opening the door, you go and ask him where he came from, and who is his last name, come and report back." Who is the doorman?" The traveler said: "I am the grandfather invited by Zhu Ziguo to take the empress of the Holy Palace back to the country!" This was Sun Wukong's curse, but after the little demon returned, the demon king actually asked the empress: "But Is there someone whose surname is foreign?" The empress said: "I am in the palace, I only know how to assist the king inside, teach the concubines sooner or later, there is no limit to foreign affairs, how can I remember the name and surname!" The demon king said: "This person is called grandpa, I think There are hundreds of surnames, and there is no one with a different surname. The lady is intelligent and noble, and she lives in the palace, so she must read a lot of books. Remember that book has this surname?" The lady said: "There are only a thousand characters I received Fu's training outside the sentence, so that must be it." The demon king said happily: "It must be! It must be!" The demon king is stupid, but the empress is also cute. I want to ask, are you two talking about cross talk? Sai Taisui is a family member of Avalokitesvara, so he can be regarded as half a monk, but he is so lustful and stupid, which shows the character and level of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. In the end, what I want to say is that it’s okay for those maids to be ruined by Sai Taisui. If it wasn’t for the real Zhang Ziyang who went to the Buddhist meeting and saw Sai Taisui robbing the empress on the way, he felt that the empress was pitiful, so he gave her a gift. A hedgehog dress, that lady has been ruined by Sai Taisui many times. If this kind of thing really happens, will Guanyin Bodhisattva be held legally responsible?How to take legal responsibility?And what about those maids who died in vain? Since Guanyin Bodhisattva was able to arrive when Sun Wukong was about to kill Sai Taisui, he should know what Sai Taisui did. Why don't you restrain yourself, Guanyin Bodhisattva? Sun Wukong might have wanted to beat the goblin to death with a stick, but with the arrival of Guanyin Bodhisattva, of course everything would be over.
