Notes on Journey to the West (Chapter 52)

The 52nd time? Wukong is making a scene in Jinshan Cave? Tathagata means the protagonist.

Monkey came out of the cave, swinging around with a stolen wishful stick and showing off in front of the gods.

Li Tianwang asked, "How did you get back?"

Monkey said, "I went into the hole and saw our baby hanging on the wall, so I took the Ruyi stick back and beat it all the way."

The gods said, "Your child is back. What about ours? "

Brother Monkey said, "It's not difficult! With this stick, my old grandson can defeat the monster and return the treasure to you. "

Just then, I heard gongs and drums at the entrance of the mountain, and the shouts were loud. It turned out that Wang Tong came out with a group of little demons and shouted.

Monkey laughed when he saw it. "Okay, okay! You have a rest here and I'll hit him. " Then he swung his stick, came to the king and gave him a good beating.

King Tong pointed a gun at him and scolded, "You shameless thief, how could you steal my treasure in broad daylight!" "

"I go to you a reckless monster! Whoever steals other people's treasures eats sticks. " Said the monkey.

They didn't enter the dragon until the sun went down. Tong Wangdao: "Wukong, stop fighting. It's getting dark Let's sleep for one night and continue fighting tomorrow. "

Monkey scolded, "Don't talk nonsense! I played very well and couldn't sleep! I'll bet with you today. "

But Tong Wang ignored the monkey and watched Lengzi run back to the cave and shut the cave door.

The monkey had no choice but to come back with a stick. The gods came forward to congratulate and said, "You really can beat my Great Sage."

Brother Monkey smiled and said, "I'm flattered!"

Li Tianwang stepped forward and said, "It's not nonsense. You are a real man. Today, your's combat effectiveness is no less than that of 100,000 soldiers in that year. "

"Don't forget the past," Monkey said. "We should learn from the future. After such a fight with me, the monster must be exhausted. I'm exhausted. You stay here, and I'll sneak into the cave, try to get his circle back, and bring the monster back to you. "

Nezha said, "Great Sage, it's getting late today. Let's go back to rest and go tomorrow. "

Monkey laughed and said, "You don't know what to do? You can't steal in broad daylight, so you must do it in the dark. "

Huo Dexing said, "Third Prince, please stop. You can't steal like the Great Sage. Let's go while the monster is tired. "

Hearing this, Monkey nodded with a smile, put away his stick, turned into a cricket and went into the hole.

In the cave, monsters of all sizes are having dinner. They are all wolfing down their food. After a hearty meal, the king turned back to the back room and ordered, "Be smart, young children and people on duty. Then the Monkey King may become something to sneak in and steal treasures. "

The Monkey King followed him into the room, only to see several female monsters undressing them with their faces painted. The king and Bao Quan were put on his arm.

Tong Wang didn't take off his precious ring and got into bed.

The monkey turned into a flea, got into the king's bed and bit his arm hard. The king was in great pain and scolded, "I owe you a beating, but I didn't know how to shake the quilt when I made the bed." What bug bit me? " But I tightened my circle and went back to sleep. Monkey took another bite, and Wang Meng rolled over and shouted, "I'll go! It hurts! "

Monkey refused to take off his ring when he saw the monster. There was nothing he could do, so he jumped out of bed, turned back into a cricket and walked back to the door. Walking, I heard the dragon horse and the fire horse screaming at the back door. Monkey showed his true colors, went to the door, unlocked the door and opened it. It turns out that King Tong locked all the treasures he received in the back door. The monkey found more than 50 hairs collected in the treasure circle, and after blowing them in one breath, he became more than 50 little monkey brothers. Each of them took the treasures of the gods, rode a fire dragon and a fire horse, and all the way out of the hole, only heard the screams of scratching, and most of the little demons in the hole were burned to death.

Li Tianwang and others came to see the flames, only to see Brother Monkey running with his little monkeys and shouting, "Come and get the weapons, come and get the weapons."

Nezha and Huo Dexing readily agreed, and Monkey took off one of his hairs, and the gods took treasure in succession.

It is said that there are many flames in the golden cave, and the king has been busy putting out fires everywhere with his treasure circle. A few more demons, and there won't be a hundred left. When I looked at the back door, all my treasures were gone. When the king panicked, he hurried to the backyard to check, only to find that Xuanzang and his disciples were still there.

King Tong said bitterly, "It must be some unlucky little monster. It accidentally went off."

A confidant nearby said, "Your Majesty, this fire was not started in our own house. A thief must have come in and stolen the baby's fire. "

King Tong just woke up and said, "Yes! It must be that the Monkey King! Bite me with another bug. I tried to steal my treasure circle, but I got into trouble after I didn't steal it. Thief monkey, you don't know I have this baby. It's incompatible. If I catch you this time, I will cut you off to vent my anger. "

Nezha, with a weapon in his hand, felt that he could do it again. He said to Monkey, "Great Sage, it's already dawn. Let's use the spirit of that monster to hit him together. "

The Monkey King smiled and said, "You're right! Let's go and play together. "

The gods followed Monkey to the mouth of the cave. Monkey called, "Come out, monster, let me fight."

Inside, the king was so angry that his teeth itched, he came out of the hole with a steel gun and shouted, "Fuck you, blind monkey, how dare you underestimate me!" " "

Brother Monkey criticized, "You should know, monster. Stand up, stand firm, and listen to Grandpa Sun. " So I told my life story from beginning to end.

Tong Wang listened patiently and said, "Oh. Don't go, shoot me! "

Monkey's face was covered with black lines, and he wasted a long time. He swung a stick to hold the steel gun. The two of them came again, and the fairy also grabbed their guys to help. King Tong sneered at this, silently took out a small circle, threw it into the sky, and took away the treasure of the gods and the Monkey King's stick. Then smartly turn back to the cave and let the little monster close the door.

The faces of the two immortals were so ugly that Monkey couldn't help laughing. "Well, don't worry, everyone. It is said that winning or losing is a common occurrence in military strategists. It's just that this circle is so annoying. Don't worry, my grandson will check him again. "

Nezha puffed his mouth and said, "Didn't you look for the Jade Emperor to check heaven before? I didn't find it."

The Monkey King said, "I just remembered that Buddhism is boundless. I went to the Western Heaven to ask where the Tathagata demon came from and what the circle was. I will definitely catch that monster, give it back to you, and then take it out on you. "

God said, "Well, let's go."

Brother Monkey shouted "Go!" I turned a somersault and turned to Lingshan, only to see the magnificent scenery in the mountain, and I was fascinated. Suddenly I heard someone calling from behind: "the Monkey King, where are you from?"

I dared to turn around and saw that it was a monk. I quickly saluted and said, "I have something to see the Tathagata."

"You are so naughty," said the monk. Come and see the Tathagata, not just the temple. What are you looking at here? "

"This is my first visit," Monkey said. Just look around. "

"Come with me." Bhikuni said.

Monkey followed the monks to the foot of the gate of Leiyin Temple, and saw eight donkey kong standing on both sides of the steps.

"Wait a minute, Wukong," said the monk. I'll report the Tathagata. "

Monkey had to wait outside the door, and if the Tathagata sent a message, King Kong would let him in.

Monkey went to the main hall, bowed his head and prayed. The Tathagata asked, "Wukong, I heard from Guanyin that you converted to Buddhism to protect the Tang Priest, so why did you come here alone?" What can I do for you? "

Monkey nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, my disciples have been protecting my master from getting scriptures. When they came to the Golden Cave in Jinshan, they met a monster named Tong Wang. He had great magic and caught my master and my brothers in the cave. I had a fight with him, but I didn't expect him to have a circle of white dense iron bars. I went to the Jade Emperor to check his background, but I didn't find out. Later, the gods in the sky came down to help, and he also circled to collect weapons. We have no choice but to ask you about the origin of the monster, so that I can catch his relatives and friends and rescue my master. "

Upon hearing this, the Tathagata knew the origin of the monster at a glance and said, "Although I know what the monster is, I can tell you. If the monster knew that I told you, he would definitely come to me for something. I will give you some magic to help you catch the monster. "

Monkey asked, "What magic did you give me?"

Tathagata immediately ordered eighteen arhats to open the treasure house and took eighteen cinnabar.

"How to use this cinnabar?" Asked the monkey.

The Tathagata said, "I'll let the eighteen arhats go with you. When you get outside the cave, call the monster out and let Luohan be trapped with sand. If he can't escape, you can fight at will. "

Brother Monkey smiled and said, "OK, OK!" Thanking Tathagata, he said to Lohan, "Hurry up."

Lohan dared not delay, took the cinnabar and followed Monkey out of the door.

Brother Monkey counted and shouted, "What are you doing?"

"What's the matter with you?" Lohan asked.

"We agreed to 18, but why only 16?" Said the monkey.

Just then, two arhats came out of the room and said, "Wukong, don't show off in an ostentatious manner." We just listened to the Tathagata in the back. "

"Who knows what's going on?" Asked the monkey. If I hadn't yelled, I don't think you two would have come. "

The arhats laughed and the followers went.

In a short time, he arrived in Jin Ming, where King Li met the gods and told the arhats what had happened before.

Luohan said, "All right, go and call the monster out."

Monkey clenched his fist, and when he got to the mouth of the cave, he cursed, "Monster, come out and see Grandpa Sun."

Hearing this, Tong Wang was furious and said, "I wonder where this monkey has gone to ask for reinforcements. How dare he be so wild? " So I came out to drink: "You monkey is finished. If you know you can't beat him, you should stay away from him. Do you want to die? "

Brother Monkey smiled and said, "You are a monster who doesn't know good or bad. You can ask your grandpa not to come. Just apologize and send my master and brother out, and I will spare you. "

Tong Wangdao said, "I have washed those three monks for slaughter. You can go wherever you want. "

When Monkey heard that he was going to be slaughtered, the fire hit him and rushed over with his fist. Tong Wang swung his steel gun and stabbed it, while Monkey dodged left and right, leading Tong Wang away from the cave gate.

Seeing that it was far away, Monkey quickly called Arhat and Eighteen Arhats to work together, leaving Jin Sha Dan behind. I saw yellow sand rolling and falling all over the sky.

Tong Wang lost his eyes and looked down again. The sand had been buried to his knees. He jumped up in a hurry, jumping only to the first floor, but being trapped on the second floor. The genie was in a hurry, so he quickly took out the treasure ring, threw it up and shouted, "Look!" "Eighteen cinnabar is also quilted, and the yellow sand disappears without a trace.

Lohan looked at each other in the clouds, and Monkey asked, "Why don't you sprinkle sand?"

Luohan said, "I don't know where cinnabar is."

Monkey brother looked worried and said, "He meowed and the circle let him go again."

Just as everyone was grieving, the two arhats stood up and said, "Great Sage, we came out late because the Buddha told us that monsters have magical powers. If you lose the elixir, I will let you go to the palace to find the old gentleman, and this matter will be over. "

Hearing this, Monkey said, "The Tathagata should have told me! It also saves you from coming so far with me. "

King Li Tian said, "As the Tathagata has said, the Great Sage should go to the old gentleman as soon as possible."

Monkey did a somersault and went to the Southern Gate of Heaven, without going to the Lingxiao Hall or the Bullfighting Palace. He went straight to the door of the hateful Tiandou Palace 33 days ago and saw two fairies standing at the door. He went in without giving his name.

Two fairies grabbed Brother Monkey and said, "Who are you? Where are you going? "

The monkey said, "I'm the Monkey King, looking for old Li Man."

Fairchild said, "Why are you so rude? Wait here for a while and we'll go in and report. "

The monkey didn't buy it. After drinking Fairchild, he rushed in, just as the old gentleman came out and bumped into him.

Monkey clenched his fist and said, "Old man, I'm coming."

The old man smiled and said, "Monkey, what are you doing here?"

Monkey said, "I came here to learn from the scriptures, but I didn't come to ask you something."

"What do you want from me when something happens to you?" The old man said.

"Don't ask," Monkey said. "I'll go in and have a look."

"What do you want to see?" The old man asked.

Monkey ignored him, went in, strolled around for a while, and suddenly saw a fairy boy taking a nap by the cowshed, but Qingniu was not in the cowshed. Immediately shouted: "grandpa, the cow has escaped!" " The cow has escaped! "

The old gentleman was frightened and said, "When did this beast run away!" "

Just as he shouted, Fairchild, who was dozing off, rubbed his eyes and woke up. He quickly knelt down to the old man and said, "Grandpa, my apprentice is asleep. I wonder when that cow ran away. "

The old man scolded, "Why did you fall asleep?"

Fairy boy kowtowed and said, "I looked for the elixir in the prescription for a while, ate it, and then fell asleep."

The old man said, "Seven tempering pills were made before. I think I dropped one, and the boy ate it. One pill of that Dan medicine can sleep for seven days. That beast took the opportunity to go to the lower bound because you were asleep and no one was watching you. You woke up today, it is estimated that it will take seven days. " After that, check whether you have lost any treasures.

"Nothing valuable," Monkey said. "Just look at his circle. It's quite impressive."

The old gentleman saw all the treasures except the diamond cutter, and said, "This beast stole my diamond cutter."

Brother Monkey said, "So that's it! You hit me with that before! The monster is now in the lower world, and I don't know how many treasures have been put. "

The old man asked, "Where is the beast now?"

"In the golden hole of Jinshan. He arrested my master and robbed me of my golden cudgel. I asked the gods for help. He took away the treasures of the gods and the gold cinnabar of the eighteen arhats. What should you do about conniving at monsters, old man? " Said the monkey.

The old man said, "That diamond was cut when I passed through Hangu Pass. Whatever you are, you can collect it. Good thing he didn't steal my banana fan. If he stole it, no one can beat him. "

On hearing this, Monkey had an idea, and happily followed the old gentleman to Jin Ming, where he met the immortal and hit the arhat.

The old man said, "the Monkey King, you still have to draw him out. I'll take him."

Monkey came to the cave again and shouted, "You beast! Come out and die! "

King Tong thought that the monkey had called for reinforcements again and walked out of the cave with a gun in his hand.

When Monkey saw King Tong, he said, "You monster, you will die today! Don't run, eat my palm! " Then he jumped forward while the king was not careful, gave him a big mouth and ran back. ...

The king was furious and chased after him with a gun. Suddenly, he heard someone shouting on the mountain, "When will that cow not come home?"

Tong Wang looked up, and it turned out to be the old gentleman. He was startled and said, "This monkey is so amazing that even my master can invite him."

The old man read a spell and fanned a banana fan. The monster threw a treasure circle, but he caught it. The old man fanned the banana fan again, and the king suddenly felt weak and showed his true colors. It turned out to be a green cow. The old gentleman stepped forward, blew a fairy breath on the diamond cutter, strung the nose of the cow, took off the belt, tied it on the diamond cutter and held it in his hand. From then on, there was a ring with a cow nose. The old man bid farewell to the gods, stepped on the cow's back and returned to the pocket palace.

Monkeys and gods rushed into the cave, killed the little monsters in the cave, and took back their treasures one after another and parted ways.

Xuanzang was saved, thanked Monkey, packed his bags and went out of the cave. I was just about to find the main road to the west when I heard someone calling from the roadside, "Tang Sanzang, be a vegetarian before you go." Suddenly, Xuanzang got a fright.

Let's analyze the Monkey King's actions when dealing with Tong Wang.

First of all, during World War I, the Monkey King and Tong Wang praised each other. Tong Wang said that the Monkey King really had the ability to make trouble in heaven. Later, he admitted that he really came from heaven, so he said so. But why did the Monkey King exaggerate Wang's ability to steal Dan? There are many words that can be used to praise your opponent's skills, but they don't say that you can steal Dan. Moreover, the word stealing Dan is very directional and must be related to the old gentleman on the throne. So that is to say, when the Monkey King first met Tong Wang, he knew that he had something to do with the old man and that it was the old man's green cow, so he broke into the pocket palace and personally inspected the bullpen. Then, when Monkey was defeated by King Xi, why didn't he go to the old gentleman first, but to the Jade Emperor and the Tathagata? In fact, the reason is unexpectedly simple and will be revealed next time.

The great king of the gods lost his weapon and went home. Monkey couldn't help laughing, which was a mockery of the fact that the gods in the sky couldn't beat a cow, and also a relief to himself: I couldn't beat them, and neither could they.

Let's look at the behavior of the Tathagata. Knowing that Tong Wang is the mount of the old gentleman, I don't want to show it, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble. In fact, it is a different manifestation of Buddhism and Taoism. Later, I ordered the two arhats to defeat the dragon and tiger. If Monkey couldn't find the old gentleman on the throne, it was because I lost my treasure and had to come back, so I had to do it. Exposing the hypocrisy of the Buddha is also a stroke. )

Listen to the next decomposition.
