Bole was a minister of Qin in the Spring and Autumn Period named Sun Yang. He was the most authoritative horse racing expert at that time, and horse racing was to choose a swift horse. He selected countless swift horses for Qin Mugong's army, and all the horses he selected were excellent. He also personally selected a swift horse for Qin Mugong. Riding a swift horse, he captured twelve countries and dominated Xirong, laying a solid foundation for Qin to unify the world in the future. In China, the story about Bole Xiangma is well known to women and children, so I won't repeat it here.
How did Bole die? According to historical records, in 39 years, namely 62 1 year BC, he died of natural causes and was buried in Yong, 177 people were martyred. "Qin Zhiliang courtiers, in three people, called' Yang,, (Cheng Xian) Hu', among which Qin people mourned it and wrote the poem" Yellow Bird ". It turned out that Bole was among the martyrs, and he was locked in a big cell with all the servants who accompanied him to death, waiting to be buried alive the next day. But that night, the swift horse in the palace suddenly had an induction, knowing that the benefactor would be buried alive and die, so regardless of the strict guards in the palace, he rushed into the prison, knocked down the prison door, rushed out of the tight encirclement and rescued Bole. When other death row inmates saw the prison door open, they rushed out for their lives, but they couldn't escape because they were unarmed and didn't have Hummer to help them. In the end, they were all captured by jailers, guards and ouchi experts.
It turns out that Qin Mugong was martyred with 178, because the number 178 was auspicious (in fact, the ancients were very sensitive and attached great importance to this auspicious number). Later, because Bole ran away, only 177 people were left. So someone suggested to the priest in the palace to arrest another person to make up the number, and the priest refused. The reasons are as follows: First, the people who were buried with him were all carefully selected, and the date of birth was different from that of Mu Gong. It is difficult to find a suitable person for the time being; Second, at that time, the cruel practice of being buried with the dead has aroused great public anger. If we go around to choose people buried with the dead, it will inevitably cause great panic and confusion, which is not conducive to the stability of the country; Third, on the night of the incident, the diviners (or wizards) and priests in Qin Gong thought that something was fishy, because it must be providence for a horse to save a person regardless of life and death, so they thought that the number of people buried with Qin Mugong was also providence, and it was not appropriate to forcibly change this number.
The fortune teller and the priest didn't know that Bole's birthday was over. 177 people who were buried with him went to the hell. Yan personally checked the life and death book and found that one was missing, so he flew into a rage and immediately sent two heady kids to catch Bole and Maxima. However, because Maxima ran too fast, when the two heady ghosts caught Bole and Maxima in the hell, it was ten days overtime, that is, Bole lived for ten days, which seriously violated the laws of the hell. Stoning is to turn people or animals into static stones, which can't move. Yan Hong still said angrily: I thought you were running fast, didn't you? Now I suppose you won't run away? But after a while, a judge in hell whispered to the prince, "This swift horse is not dead yet. If he is to be punished, he will not die justly, but would rather suffer the crime of living. " .
The prince was still angry, but he didn't listen at all. He waved and said, what are you afraid of? I'll take care of something, so don't worry about it. However, it was not long before the Jade Emperor of Heaven knew about it and sent an investigation team to investigate it. Yan was delirious at that time, but the witness was conclusive and hard to deny. Finally, Yan was severely punished by the Jade Emperor with a salary deduction of one year and a bonus deduction of three years. The treatment of Bole and Maxima is as follows: Bole broke the laws of hell, but because of his unparalleled horse hunting ability, Bole must be free after 1000 years, and he must not go to the prison of hell again. As for Maxima, although she also violated the law of hell, she can be said to be the principal offender, but her kindness and spirit deeply touched Guanyin Bodhisattva, so she decided to turn it into a white dragon and let it live in the West Sea, becoming the third prince of Aorun, the dragon king of the West Sea. Later, because the three princes of the Dragon King set fire to the pearls given by the Jade Emperor in the temple, they violated the dogma and committed a capital crime. Fortunately, the merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South China Sea once again stepped forward to rescue her, only to survive, and banished her to Yingbei Creek in Shepan Mountain, waiting for the Tang Priest to learn Buddhist scriptures from the West.
The poem says: Heaven and man have gone by auspicious neon, and there are hard stones here. Guanyin is gone forever, and Baiyun will never fly without him.
In the long years of 1000, Bole lay quietly on the grass at the foot of Huaguoshan, watching Huaguoshan and monkeys jumping freely on Huaguoshan every day. They climbed to the tall branches to pick delicious fruits, and then jumped down to play with each other. Bole envies the life of monkeys and can't wait to become a monkey and join them. But it's all so far away. Now he can't move a little, so he has to imagine himself as a monkey. He's been thinking about it for a thousand years. When he was finally free, when he finally jumped out of the stone, he really became a monkey. To this end, he not only does not regret it, but also is very happy. As soon as he was liberated, he jumped into the group of monkeys. After that, everyone knew that he became the Monkey King. By this time, who knew he was Bole a thousand years ago?
There are five points to support the view that Bole is the Great Sage of the Monkey: First, Bole is destined to have an indissoluble bond with horses, so when the Great Sage of the Monkey (Bole) made a scene in heaven and was named the Great Sage of the Monkey, the Standing Committee of heaven finally decided to make him "Bi Marvin" after discussion. There are so many officials in the sky, such as Bo, Bo, Bo Zhu Wen, Bo Ji Wen, Bo Ya Wen, Bo Hu Wen and Bo Shi Wen.
Second, Bole was originally named Sun Yang, and the Monkey King was named Sun. Is this a coincidence? I don't think so!
3. As early as Qin Mugong's time, people called Bole the Star Immortal who specially managed Tianma, because Bole was different from ordinary people. It turns out that the name Bole is already the name of a fairy who manages horses in the sky. So I wonder if Wu Cheng'en was inspired by Bole Sun Yang when he created the character the Monkey King.
Fourthly, after the Monkey King followed the Tang Priest to learn Buddhist scriptures from the West, the first thing he appeased was Prince Yulong, followed by Pig Bajie and Friar Sand. After the third prince was turned white by Guanyin, he controlled the Tang Priest to learn from the West. As mentioned above, it is actually a white horse. This shows the deep affection between the Monkey King and Ma.
5. When the Monkey King was protecting the Buddhist scriptures of Tang Priest in the Western Heaven, he could tell whether all the characters were real characters or real monsters with his critical eyes, which was similar to Xiangma's skill. In fact, it has expanded and enhanced the technical function of Xiangma or exaggerated it.
6. In fact, the Monkey King has been demonstrating his Bole skills while accompanying Tang Priest to learn Buddhist scriptures. Because the journey to learn from the scriptures is difficult, there are always eighty-one difficulties, and most of them need help. If the Monkey King doesn't know people, he is not Bole, so how can he know clearly what can help him to successfully exorcise demons?
