Chapter 44 Chapter Fourteen: The Three Demons of Shituoling——We Are Just "Playing"

The Three Demons of Shituoling are the powerful enemies of Sun Wukong in his life, how strong are they?So strong that Sun Wukong ran to the Lingshan Mountain and cried loudly, and so strong that Tathagata came out of the mountain together with Manjushri and Samantabhadra to eliminate demons.And the three monsters of Shituoling are also the most unpredictable monsters for the author. When I think of them, I can think of countless questions. First, why is Taibai Jinxing come to report?Second, why did Dapeng go down to the realm for hundreds of years without any gods and bodhisattvas taking care of him?Third, is Qingshijing the eunuch lion?Fourth, Monkey King had the upper hand at the beginning, why did he lose again and again in the end?Fifth, do the Three Demons of Shituoling really want to eat Tang Seng?

Putting forward these five questions, the author will analyze them one by one. First of all, why Taibaijinxing came to report?Before the scripture-learning team marched into Shituoling, Taibai Jinxing turned into an old man to report to the lower world, scaring Zhu Bajie out of his shit, and giving Monkey King psychological preparation and a preliminary plan to subdue the demon.However, the problem is that among the three monsters, one is the mount of Manjusri Bodhisattva, the other is the mount of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and the other is the uncle of Tathagata Buddha. The answer is very simple, because it is the Buddhists who do evil, so the Buddhists indulge and don't care. The fairy world has endured it for a long time. After finally waiting for Monkey King to come, can you still hold back?Taibai Jinxing, a top-notch diplomat, must of course not let the underground world tip off the news.Taibai Jinxing explained the basic information of the three monsters in Shituoling in detail, which made Monkey King fully prepared, and also aroused Monkey King's competitive heart, just to make efforts to eliminate the three monsters in one fell swoop.

After solving this problem, the answer to the second question is easy to say. Why did the roc go down to the realm for so long, and no one cares about the subjects of the lion and camel country?The reason is simpler, because Dapeng is Tathagata's uncle, and Tathagata Buddha doesn't care, who dares to care?Which Immortal Bodhisattva Arhat is free, so he ran to sue Tathagata for his uncle? So why did Buddha Tathagata ignore it?The Tathagata Buddha has always been very lenient to his subordinates. It can be seen that a person as frustrated as Ananda Kasyapa can be favored in front of the Tathagata Buddha, not to mention his uncle Dapeng, who does evil in the lower realms. Just pretend not to know for now.This is the fact that after being a leader for a long time, the edges and corners of integrity and selflessness have been rounded, and the corruption of not being strict with self-discipline and muddling along has naturally appeared in the strict heart.

The third question, the author once said in the previous article that there is no evidence that Manjushri has two identical lions, so the author guesses that this lion is the eunuch lion, so he has the experience of being killed by Monkey King. It's especially easy to admit cowardice, trembling at every turn, without any demeanor of being a big brother. Then another question arose from this, why did he descend to the bounds again?In other words, this lion is not descending to the lower realms again, but has been acting as a demon in the lower realms. It is only a part-time job to pretend to be the king of the Wuji Kingdom. How long has it been since you went down the mountain?" Manjusri said: "Seven days." Tathagata said: "Seven days in the middle of the mountain, thousands of years in the world), the king of the Wuji Kingdom must be a part-time job for the lion to satisfy Manjusri's vengeance. After being fucked by Monkey King once, he returned to Shituoling and continued to be a monster.

The fourth question, why did Sun Wukong gain the upper hand at the beginning, but then failed again and again?The reason is also very simple. Sun Wukong first obtained enough information from Taibai Jinxing, and then made a correct initial plan to subdue the demon. He pretended to be the chief driller, obtained more sufficient information from the little demon, and then used his own strengths , drilled through the two cylinders of yin and yang, ran into the belly of the green lion spirit, and made the three demons flustered.If I were Monkey King, I would take advantage of this moment to immediately kill the green lion spirit and the white elephant spirit. What morality do I have with the goblins?Can monsters be trusted?

It's a pity that after Sun Wukong won the initial victory, he developed a feeling of pride and complacency. He listened to the lies of the monsters. In order to protect his reputation and morality, he threw away the fruits of victory that he had already obtained, and gave the three demons of Shituoling a chance to make a comeback. When Monkey King fought with the three old monsters and tens of thousands of little monsters, Monkey King lost all his strengths and exposed his weaknesses.First of all, Sun Wukong can't win alone, and the three demons have tens of thousands of little demons; second, Sun Wukong has two teammates who are like pigs, and the strength of the three demons is not impressive. Three-on-three, Sun Wukong wins, Zhu Bajie and Sand Monk are bound to lose, and the overall situation changes again. It became a three-on-one; third, fighting in other people's lairs, and being occupied by them, how can they win?

The fifth question, do the Three Demons really want to eat Tang Monk's meat?The author thinks the answer is no, because the three demons are fully capable and have time to eat Tang Seng, but the three demons did not do this, but locked Tang Seng in the cabinet.So why don't the Three Demons eat Tang Monk meat?Because I'm not interested.Why are you not interested?Because the three monsters are all immortal, as the mounts of the two great Bodhisattvas and the uncle of the Tathagata Buddha, even if the three monsters are not immortal, the author does not believe that the king of Hades has the courage to arrest them and send them to reincarnation.

Since the Three Demons are not interested in Tang Seng, why did they arrest Tang Seng?The author guesses that he just wants to have a fight with Monkey King for fun.There are several arguments to support the author's reasoning.First of all, Sun Wukong made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago and defeated 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, while Qingshijing publicized that he could swallow 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals in one bite. Isn’t this kind of pure nonsense just to despise Monkey King ?Second, the time when Dapeng was a monster was very similar to the time when Monkey King was a monster. The human country has much less performance and reputation than Sun Wukong, so they must be dissatisfied, so when they heard that Sun Wukong was coming, they had the idea of ​​a competition.Third, when Sun Wukong gathered in Huaguo Mountain, he had sworn brothers with seven brothers. The three demons of Shituoling basically imitated Sun Wukong and sworn brothers. Thousands, as many monkeys and grandchildren as Monkey King.Fourth, Dapeng's ability is basically to restrain Monkey King. It can be said that he has put in a lot of effort to use his wings against a somersault cloud and his claws against Monkey King's transformation technique.Fifth, Qing Shi Jing was defeated in the Wuji Kingdom, and he must take revenge. At this time, there are many people and strength, so when not to take revenge.Sixth, the three demons are all Buddhists, so they naturally know the origin and usefulness of Tang Seng, and also know the importance of learning scriptures, so they dare not and cannot eat Tang Seng.

Therefore, the author speculates that the Three Demons are just trying to compete with Monkey King, and have no intention of eating Tang Seng. Among the three demons, Dapeng is the most playful one. This Dapeng is very similar to the second generation of officials. Although he is the uncle of Buddha Tathagata, his aura is entirely due to the halo of Buddha Tathagata. That is to say , he is not an entrepreneur, but a beneficiary, so it is not wrong to say that he is the second generation of officials. Dapeng’s behavior is also similar to that of the second generation of officials. I came out to be like a grassroots monster. I have to eat Tang Seng and become immortal. I am immortal. I came out to prove to you that I can do it!

But the problem is, you can prove that you can do it, but you can't use other people's pain to prove that you can do it. The author speculates that what Dapeng did in the lower realms may have also been blamed by some righteous gods, but Dapeng choked people back when he said "my nephew is the Tathagata", this sentence is really too cruel , It's like saying "My nephew is Obama", try it yourself. Based on what Dapeng has done, we can see that Dapeng is still a little clever, and almost all the plans against the enemy are written by him.Moreover, Dapeng himself did not become the boss, but let a eunuch lion whose identity and ability are far lower than his own be the boss, so that when he was arrested and convicted, someone would stand up to him.

Perhaps it was because Dapeng had some cleverness that led to his self-righteousness, which made him feel pain and disapproval of his identity.In his opinion, he is super strong, smart and capable, but all of this did not bring him the respect he deserved, but he was respected because he was the uncle of the Buddha. He decided to make a career and let everyone know himself again. Since Dapeng wants to make a career on his own, he must prove that he is better than Lai Buddha, because Tathagata Buddha is the one who gives him a halo, just like Wu Yanzu in "New Police Story", his father is from Hong Kong The senior inspector himself is against the police. If he defeats the police, he defeats his father. It proves that he is better than his father and that he is not a useless second-generation official. So how does Dapeng prove that he is strong like Lai Lai?First of all, don't you Tathagata rule over the three thousand Buddhas in Lingshan?Okay, if your management ability is strong, then I will prove that my management ability is better than yours. I will destroy a kingdom of lions and camels, and establish a kingdom of monsters with tens of thousands of monsters. I will be the boss. You will rule three thousand, and I will rule four. Wan, and it's done in an orderly and methodical way, I'm better than you. Second, didn't you ask Tang Seng to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures?Didn't you let Monkey King, Zhu Bajie and Drifting be Tang Seng's apprentices?Okay, I, Dapeng, will prove to you that the person you chose is wrong. You have no knowledge of people. My ability is stronger than Monkey King. I will arrest Tang Seng and show you, and I will show you that Monkey King has nothing to do. Third, isn't the Lingshan run by your Tathagata Buddha known as the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss?Is Xiniu Hezhou not your world?I chose to build the biggest and cruelest monster base on the land of Hezhou, Xiniu, to destroy your Greater West Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. From these aspects, Dapeng is somewhat similar to Sun Wukong. He is very competitive, self-respecting, rebellious, capable, and commanding. But there is only one thing, he is different from Sun Wukong. For the grassroots class, what Sun Wukong wants to smash is the entire unreasonable notification pattern, but what Dapeng wants to smash is just the halo of the second generation of officials hanging over his head.
