Let's take a look at Tang Priest. Tang Priest's previous life was Jin Chan, the second disciple of Tathagata. Moreover, Jin Chan is not only highly accomplished in Buddhism, but also highly valued by the Tathagata Buddha, higher than the famous Guanyin Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. Then why did the golden cicada come to earth to suffer?
This should also start from a Buddhist lecture conference; One day, the Tathagata sat high on the lotus platform, preaching Buddhism and telling the truth that heaven is auspicious. When all Buddhists were fascinated, cicadas dozed off. In fact, it was not the golden cicada who deliberately dozed off. It's that Jin Chan has a strong understanding of Buddhism, and he has already realized all the avenues he talked about.
Although the Tathagata Buddha knew that the second disciple was extremely clever, he couldn't stand it, so he sent Jin Chan down to earth to suffer some worldly sufferings. The key is that the golden cicada has never achieved the Buddha position, so I want to take this opportunity to give birth to the golden cicada. Sure enough, after the job was done, Tang Priest was named the Buddha of Merit.
The Monkey King, born of immortal stone since the beginning of time, was named Monkey King after being worshipped by Qian Shan Wanshui Sect, and learned superb spells such as seventy-two changes in ghost count, somersault and immortality. The Monkey King, whose magical powers are just emerging, first made a scene in the Dragon Palace to get the golden hoop, and then made a scene in the underworld to check the life and death books. Later, he was favored by heaven and was named Bi Marvin.
After learning of his low status, he angrily returned to Huaguoshan, defeated the crusade of King Tota and the three princes, and forced the Jade Emperor to make him the Great Sage of Qitian, and built the Great Sage of Qitian in heaven to manage the Flat Peach Garden. Because of drunkenness, I disturbed the flat peach banquet of the queen mother, stole the elixir of the old gentleman, and became an indestructible body. By mistake, she was turned into an alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun.
Later, it caused chaos in the heavenly palace. Hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers, heavenly generals, four heavenly kings and twenty-eight stars can't beat them. Later, I lost a bet with the Tathagata, and I was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain where the Tathagata gave up for more than 500 years. After the touch of Guanyin, the protection of Tang Priest completed the great cause of learning from the West. It can be said that if the Monkey King's background was not too strong, he would have died many times and dared to make a scene. It was later named Doufo.
Let's take a look at Pig Bajie. Pig Bajie was Marshal Tian Peng in charge of the 80,000 Water Army in Tianhe in his last life. He knows the changes of 36 kinds of maximum days. His weapon was built by the old gentleman on the throne and given by the Jade Emperor. I've always admired the beautiful dress fairy. Later, he flirted with the fairy in the clothes, provoked the spiritual officer to picket, knocked down the bullfighting palace, ate ganoderma lucidum and fairy grass, and was sent to the world.
Marshal Tian Peng molested the fairy, but he knocked down the bullfighting palace and stole Ganoderma lucidum, which is a heinous crime. Later, when he was reborn, he threw a pig fetus by mistake. But he was enlightened by Guanyin and became a disciple of Tang Priest. Together with the Monkey King, he protected Tang Priest from going to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures, and was finally appointed as an altar messenger.
Friar Sand, the general of the Jade Emperor's shutter in the Heavenly Palace, was expelled from heaven because he accidentally broke the glass lamp and violated the dogma. What is the shutter general? In fact, it is responsible for lifting the curtain for the jade emperor when he travels; Many people will think that Friar Sand was sentenced to such a heavy sentence for breaking a glass lamp. Can the things used by emperors and queens in ancient palaces be simple?
But the worst part is white. Bai, who was originally the third prince of the West Sea Dragon King, was sued by the West Sea Dragon King for disobedience for setting fire to the pearls on the temple. The jade emperor hung him in the air and beat him three hundred times, and punished him in a few days. Later, due to the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea, she was exempted from the death penalty and exiled to the sad stream of Shepan Mountain Shadow, waiting for the Tang Priest to learn the scriptures.
The three princes of the West Sea Dragon King are really the most tragic characters in the book. The fiancee of the third prince of the West Sea Dragon King is the daughter of the Wansheng Dragon King of Bibotan. But somehow, Wansheng Princess was having an affair with nine head worm. The result was discovered by the three princes of the West Sea Dragon King. The three princes were so angry that they set fire to the pearls on the temple and were found guilty. A man, such a tragedy.
Another key point is that the father of the third prince of the West Sea Dragon King, the West Sea Dragon King, not only failed to find a place for his son, but also sued his son to heaven. Who is the most tragic role, if not the betrayal of his fiancee and the cruelty of being a father? But later the Monkey King and Pig Bajie avenged their younger brother Bai and killed all the dragon sons and grandchildren below the Dragon King. Wansheng Princess was killed by Pig Bajie with a nine-toothed rake.
