It is true that the real and fake Monkey King look exactly the same, but Guanyin can't recognize the real or fake, the Jade Emperor can't recognize the real or fake, and even King Li's demon-detecting mirror can't detect the real or fake, so why is it that the mount of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth's Tibetans can hear the real or fake? Why does the mount of the King of Tibet hear what is true and what is false, and why does it make a show of not saying anything even when it does?
Some people say that the false Monkey King was a trustee of Rulai to replace the disobedient Monkey King, and in the end, the real Monkey King died under the golden bowl, and it was the six-eared macaque who got the real scriptures.
Is this really true?
One
Let's take a look at what Shimeji was really capable of, and why he was better at recognizing fakes than the Goddess of Mercy, the Jade Emperor, the King of Heaven Li, and even its master, the Bodhisattvas of Earth.
The 58th chapter of the original book has an explanation--
The original Shimeji is the name of a beast that ambles under the scriptures of the Earth Store Bodhisattva. If he ambushed in the ground, in a flash, the four continents, mountains and rivers, between the heavenly paradise, wasp bugs, Lin bugs, caterpillars, feather bugs, insects, heavenly fairies, earthly fairies, gods, human fairies, ghosts can be illuminated to identify the good and evil, listen to the wise and the foolish.
That is to say, as long as it to the ground a volt, can immediately receive and query all the living beings of the three worlds of all the information, comparable to today's big data analysis, is the immortal world of the Internet search, is the three worlds of the most awesome "inquisitor".
Whether it's Guanyin, Jade Emperor or King Li's Demon Mirror, it can only scan and recognize QR codes, and once both are labeled with the same QR code, there's no way for them to distinguish the real from the fake.
So why didn't Shimei dare to tell the truth when she heard it? There is an explanation in the book -
The Shimeji said, "If I tell it to your face, I am afraid that the evil hair of the demon spirits will tickle the precious temple, causing the netherworld to be disturbed." Also asked: "Why can not help capture?" Shimei said: "demonic spirit magical powers, and Sun Da Sheng no two. The gods of the underworld, how much mana, so can not capture." Jizang said: "like this how to get rid of?" Shimei said, "The Buddha's law is boundless."
Hearing this, Earth Store Bodhisattva understands, Shimei is telling him to turn the conflict over to Comrade Rulai for disposal. Whether to fight or kill was none of Laozi's business!
So Earth Store said to the two goods, "You two are as one in description, and there is no difference in your aptitude; if you want to discern, you must go to Shakyamuni Rudra at the Thunder Sound Temple before you can understand."
So, on the Shimeji not to say the reason, some people think that the false Sun Wukong is too powerful, said out for fear of beating his ass, the whole hell will be upset, broken office furniture, and can not be reimbursed at public expense.
In fact, this is only half right.
Two
To answer this question, you first have to start with who the fake Monkey King really is.
Some people say, "Isn't it very clear in the original? Rulai told the crowd that the False Monkey King was the Six-Eared Macaque.
Snail thinks, this can only mean that you were lied to by Rulai, in fact, there is no such thing as a six-eared macaque in the world! Don't believe me? Then there are a few questions you to explain --
1, RuLai said it "if you stand a place, can know a thousand miles away from the matter, the mortal speak, can also know, so good at listening to the sound, can check the rationale, know before and after, all things are clear," since it can know a thousand miles away from the matter, can be understood! Since you can know a thousand miles, can know before and after five hundred years, and also know how to read minds, then you must know that you have to get a stick at Rudra, so why do you still dare to challenge Rudra in a rampant manner?
2, the six ears so awesome, what he did not good, why do you want to hit the Tang Monk rob luggage to get the scriptures? If he did go, would K?itigarbha give him the scriptures? He's not that stupid, is he? Usually demons either eat the flesh of the Tang Monk to seek longevity, or capture the Tang Monk for mating, he doesn't want anything, but he wants to fetch a broken scripture, which is completely inconsistent with the status of a demon spirit!
3, before the gods have never heard of this category, and after that the world no longer have him and so on, how can he suddenly appear? Even if he is a hidden demon, then he always has a cave, why not rob the luggage back to their own homes, do not look for their own mother, but run to the Monkey King Huaguo Mountain, not looking for death?
4, even if he is very powerful, but he can only be a tie with the Monkey King. Shimei even if he breaks him, the Sun Wukong plus some of the experts in the hell, can take him down, even if he can't, it's not so bad that it will bring down the hell ah!
......
In short, there are a lot of unreasonable places. So, this Six-Eared Macaque just doesn't exist from beginning to end, and he's actually a doppelganger of the Monkey King!
Three
So why did Rulai play this out and make up a six-eared macaque to fool everyone? Why did the Monkey King have to make up another doppelganger to show his temper at K???a?
There are actually multiple grass and gray dark lines in the original.
Before the fake Monkey King appeared, the original book devoted a chapter to a story about the Monkey King beating robbers with a stick. Such a story has appeared many times in the original, and each time, the Monkey King softens and says nice things, and things go away.
But this time is different!
After the Monkey King killed the robber, the baby Tang Monk was so angry that he gave the robber to read the "Inverted Head Scripture" went so far as to say, "You go to the temple of the Senluo under the Xing word, inverted tree to find the root, his last name is Sun, my last name is Chen, each living in a different family name. Injustice has a head, the debt has a master, do not sue me for taking the sutra monks."
Means you go to hell to sue that Sun monkey, but do not say I. Not only do not have the master's bearing, but also instigate the villain to sue his own disciple, this is how much it means?
So the eight rings laughed next to him, "Master pushed clean, but when he hit but there are no two of us." Sanzang real and handful of earth prayer: "good man sued, only sue the walker, also not dry eight ring, sand monk thing."
Sun Wukong heard, heart angry: "Master, your old man is not sentimental. For you to get the scriptures, I have spent how much hard work, now killed these two thieves, you teach him to sue the old Sun. Although I hit, but only for you. You do not go to the West to get the scriptures, I do not do with you as a disciple, how will come here, will fight and kill!"
So, he looked at the iron bar on the grave pounded three times, said: "the plague of robbers, you listen, as much as you go there to sue, I am not afraid of the old Sun: the Jade Emperor recognizes me, the King of Heaven with me; twenty-eight stars afraid of me, nine obsidian star officials afraid of me; the county of the City God kneeling me, Dongyue Tianqi horror of me; ten generations of Yama had been with me as a servant, the five rampant gods have been with me as a descendant; regardless of the three worlds The five divisions of the three realms and the ten rulers of the ten directions are all familiar with me, so go ahead and sue me there!"
After a while, the Tang Monk was very uncomfortable to get back on his horse. Sun Da Sheng heart also stalked a stone, the eight ring, sand monk also have jealousy, master and disciple are face is back, the team produced a serious crisis of confidence.
At night, they stayed at an old man's house, the old man's son is one of the robbers. The old man's son is one of the robbers. When he came home, he saw that the Tang monks were living in the house, and actually wanted to sharpen their knives to rob the house. The old man could not bear it, and quietly opened the courtyard gate to let them go.
The robbers chased up, the Monkey King a few stick to kill a few, a knife cut off the old man's son head, rushed up and thrown in front of the Tang Monk's horse, but also said with a straight face: "Master, this is the old man's rebellious son of Yang, by the old Sun to take the head will come also."
To be honest, the Monkey King this time to do a little too much, throw the head is purely provocative: you do not let me do, the old son to do! What are you going to do about it?
The Tang Monk was so angry that he began to recite a spell, and after that, he drove the Monkey King away.
This is the second time the Monkey King has been whisked back to the countryside. The three beat the white bone spirit that time, just started to get the scripture project, chucked on the chuck, the Monkey King is still think through, not here to stay master, there is a place to stay, so he went back to the flowers and fruits mountain to get away with it.
But this time is different ah, the road are halfway, see the success of the scriptures in front of us, but the Tang monk said ousted on the ousting, the Monkey King certainly not willing.
So the Monkey King apologized to the Tang Monk. But the Tang Monk did not say anything, and recited the tight band incantation more than 20 times, enough to strangle into his head more than an inch deep.
The Monkey King hated: "I have a place to live, I'm only afraid that you can't go to the West without me." Sanzang said, "Whether I can go or not is none of your business, get out of here, or I'll strangle your brains out.
The Monkey King came to the conclusion that the monk had lost my heart! So he went to the Goddess of Mercy to complain.
Four
From this experience, we can see that the Monkey King has actually developed a second heart, he thinks that the Tang Monk is an incompetent leader, and does not care about feelings, in vain, he has spent so much effort, a sentence of "you get out of here" to erase all of his merits.
The Monkey King's ability to split up is a well-known fact. On the surface, the Monkey King did not dare to do things against Buddhism, but in the heart, the wild heart of the king of the demons and was inspired, I used to be afraid of the sky and the earth, how dashing, but now you have to suffer from your pusillanimity! So involuntarily and uncontrollably, another split came out.
It's as if we are in the unit, to the leader are respectful, but back home, the bag thrown, began to scold: stupid, ball skills have no, but also dare to fix the old man!
The Monkey King's doppelg?nger came to the path of the scriptures, first of all, again apologized to the Tang Monk, end of a magnetic cup of water to give him a drink, the Tang Monk said thirsty I do not drink your water! The doppelganger said the same thing again, "You can't go to the West without me!" The Tang Monk still answered him, "It's none of your business whether you can go or not!
So the Monkey King's doppelganger completely exploded, beat the Tang Monk, snatched his luggage, and returned to the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits.
It is because both Monkey King are real that there are a few oddities that the gods can't see and the demon-shining mirrors can't see.
But there were three people who knew about the Monkey King's tricks.
The first was Guanyin. When the Monkey King first went to the South Seas, she counted on her fingers and knew what was going on. But why didn't she reveal it to her face? There are two reasons, one is that she also thought the Tang Monk had gone a bit too far and needed to teach him a lesson. The second is that the doppelganger actually hit the Tang Monk with a stick, which is a crime of treason. If it was revealed to his face, the Monkey King would certainly not be able to stay on the scripture-taking team, and the scripture-taking project would certainly not be completed.
The second is Shimei. It also heard the original reason, the same reason, even Guanyin dare not say, it is even more can not say, said not only is the Monkey King to clean up it, and Guanyin and Rulai will clean up it, so simply let the King of the Earth to hand over the contradiction to the Rulai.
The third person who knows the truth is Rulai. Before the real and fake Sun Wukong arrived, he told the crowd, "You are all of one mind, and look at the two minds actually fight and come." Proof that he had it in his heart.
But, he also can not say broken, said broken is equal to declare the Monkey King out of the game, the scripture project will produce a serious crisis, and even affect his prestige, so that the court of heaven and subordinates to see the joke. Therefore, he made up a six-eared macaque story out.
But in order to appease Sun Wukong, he also specifically promised: "At that time, the success of the return to the ultimate happiness, you also sit on the lotus platform." Meaning that if you are good and obedient, you are guaranteed to become a Buddha too.
The Monkey King agreed. The Tang Monk, after this lesson, also understood what Rulai had in mind and also agreed.
Six
What does this story tell us?
Some things the leader is not confused and does not know the truth, he just does not say. There are some things we all know the truth, but can not be put on the table, once said, things can not be remedied. You don't think that leaders always use "some people" instead of hypocrisy when criticizing people, in fact, this is to give others room for error.
It's hard to be confused, but it's also a smart way to lead. This is also the reason why cynics and young people can't be leaders. Don't think that telling the truth about anything is an advantage!
From another point of view, it also shows that the child who will cry has milk to eat. When you meet a leader who is acting strange, sometimes you have to play with your temper to let him know that you are not a good bully. Otherwise, he will think you are a soft persimmon can be casually pinched, the credit should give you did not give you, a sentence of sorry on the past.
But we can't make too much of it, the leadership gives steps, hurry down, really want to tear the face, we all look bad.
Sometimes, the art of getting along with the upper and lower levels is the art of compromise.
