Six Paths Cultivation Chat Group

In the minds of many people, Tang Seng has always been a modest gentleman, who treats his disciples with sincerity, and even knows the cold and the hot, and knows the heart and lungs. He has a resolute spirit that never bows to monsters and ghosts when dealing with the journey of learning scriptures.

However, Qin Shushu, who knew something about history, knew that the actual situation was not the case.

Like a tiger skin skirt...

In the original "Journey to the West", Tang Seng is a person who is obsessed with crying and crying.

Many people's thoughts about Tang Seng's love for his apprentices mostly come from the Tang Seng Yueye in the TV series who sews the tiger skin skirt for Monkey King.

In fact, this is just the beautification of the original work by the TV series for the sake of art. There is a clear description in the No.14 chapter of the original work, "The Heart Ape Returns to the Six Thieves Without a Trace".

Sun Wukong's tiger skin skirt was killed by Sun Wukong himself, then skinned the tiger himself, and he personally sewed it with needles and threads from old man Chen's family. All these processes were done by himself and had nothing to do with Tang Seng.

The only thing that has something to do with Tang Seng is a straight gown that Tang Seng gave to Monkey King. This straight gown was worn by Sun Wukong himself when Tang Seng took a bath, purely for the convenience of mending the tiger skin skirt.

Tang Seng gave Sun Wukong the straight gown he had already worn, which was considered a meeting gift for Monkey King.

This is what the original story about the straight skirt Tang Seng said.

"Apprentice, you don't think it's old, you can wear that straight gown."

Wukong sang a promise.

"Chengci! Chengci!"

So Tang Seng gave Sun Wukong a tiger skin skirt?
Completely non-existent!

Since Tang Seng didn't do this, he did it himself. When Monkey King is happy, he can teach himself a little magic. Wouldn't it be nice?

Thinking of this in his heart, Qin Shushu couldn't help being happy, and nodded to Orion at the same time.

"Okay! If that's the case, then please don't bother me! I don't have any valuables on me, why don't I give you this tiger, but I have to leave a piece of the tiger skin, I need to sew some clothes .”

Orion couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this!
This tiger weighed nearly a thousand catties, and it was no easy task for him to subdue it.

Now that he has been punched by an eminent monk to bleed from the seven holes, he sees that he has a lot of breath and less breath, and his life is not long. Now it is completely equivalent to picking up a ready-made, how can this not make him overjoyed?

"Eminent monk... this fierce tiger is quite valuable, and it makes me a little uneasy to be rewarded for nothing."

Qin Shushu said casually.

"If you feel uneasy, you might as well give me some money, it's convenient for me to spend on the way."

"Forehead……"

Orion always felt that the eminent monk in front of him was a bit strange, but he felt that accepting such a heavy gift for no reason seemed a bit insincere, so he nodded immediately.

"That's what it should be. After someone drags the tiger home, he will take some money and give it to the master!"

In fact, Qin Shushu didn't have much desire to possess money.

Soul wear it!
After all, you can’t bring back the money you spent here, just enough for the road, it’s better than holding a purple gold bowl along the way, right?
Facts have proved that as a hunter, the family is indeed quite rich.

After Orion put 13 taels of silver into Qin Shushu's hand, he smiled with shame on his face.

"The government offered a reward of 50 gold for this colorful tiger, and no one has been able to kill it. I found his trace today, but I didn't expect the master's power to subdue him. Master, I only have this money here. If you think the money is not enough , wait until tomorrow to go to the government to exchange..."

Qin Shushu waved his hand, but he didn't take this matter to heart.

After receiving more than a dozen taels of silver in his hand, he threw it into the purple gold bowl with one hand.

"The 50 gold is for you to receive the reward yourself, and help me cut off a piece of tiger skin, and a thicker big needle."

Orion soon satisfied him according to what Qin Shushu said.

When Qin Shushu picked up the needle and thread and made gestures for a long time, he discovered a very serious problem.

He doesn't know how to work as a female worker!

Yaoshou!
How many people still know how to do needlework now?
All clothes and socks are bought brand new. Even if Qin Shushu's background is not good, he just grew up wearing second-hand clothes, so he doesn't need to mend the clothes himself!

Although I have seen people sewing clothes in the orphanage, but the real practice and seeing are completely different concepts.

While he was sweating profusely, Orion brought a bowl of plain noodles to the table.

"Master, people in the mountains don't have anything good to entertain you. Would you like some plain noodles?"

Qin Shushu stretched his head to look at a bowl of plain noodles.

In addition to the noodles, there are wild vegetables in the plain noodles, which look green and very refreshing.

But for him, it was a bit unappetizing.

Because after the battle with the colorful tiger, he now feels that his physical strength is very exhausted, and he urgently wants to replenish some energy-rich substances, such as that kind of chewy meat.

Ah!
He hasn't eaten tiger meat yet!

As a protected animal on the earth and an endangered species, it is not so easy to eat a bite of tiger meat.

Now there is a great opportunity in front of you. Although Tang Seng swallowed it himself, the taste and touch are really all tasted by him!

"Benefactor, the tiger that the poor monk just killed has a lot of meat, why don't you cut some of it?"

Orion was immediately stunned.

He had felt that there was something wrong with this monk before, and he hadn't figured it out yet, but now he suddenly understood!
Don't they all say that the monks are compassionate?
Why is this monk so violent?

He beat the tiger to death with a Zen stick, and now he wants to eat the tiger's meat, just like a wine and meat monk!

At this time, Tang Seng, who was sharing his vision with Qin Shushu, quit!

"How can you make such an excessive request! Amitabha! Such a poor monk will fall into the endless hell!"

Qin Shushu rolled his eyes directly.

"Look, that set of hypocrisy is coming again! This fierce tiger has eaten so many creatures to grow into this appearance. It is dead now, and it will turn into carrion and melt into the soil in a short time. The so-called Wasting food is the biggest original sin, and eating him can be considered a contribution to this world. It can alleviate a lot of his sins, which is a good thing, do you understand?"

Tang Seng was dumbfounded.

It turns out that the truth can be said in this way, his inner demon is really flexible!

This turning around, the heart demon not only helped him break the ring of killing, but also helped him break the ring of meat, so is he going to break the ring of sex next?

Huh...why do I have some expectations at this time?
Regardless of Tang Seng's objection, Qin Shushu ate the tiger's meat all over the place.

The taste is a bit sour, but the taste is not bad. It's really good to try something new.

After thinking about the other treasures on the tiger, Qin Shushu didn't try them after all.

Tang Seng himself has not been broken into a boy's body, Yuanyang's ambition is very strong, if he eats those nourishing things again, he may really make a mistake.

In fact, he doesn't mind making some mistakes with Tang Seng's identity, but he has to think about the consequences after all.

For example, one day Tang Seng will go to the West to finish. After becoming a Buddha in the future, he will think about himself every day. I'm afraid it's not good?
That is a very dangerous thing!
It's justifiable to break things like drinking and killing, but if you bring your own son to learn scriptures, it's a bit too much, isn't it?

This is really about to go to the Western Paradise to meet the Tathagata Buddha. Will the scriptures be given or not?
After Qin Shushu had a good meal, he returned the tiger skin and needle and thread to Orion, saying a little embarrassedly.

"Wonder if you could do some needlework and make it into a tiger skin skirt for me?"

"no problem!"

Orion took a look at Qin Shushu, and then began to sew the tiger skin with needles and threads. Qin Shushu was bored and chatted with Orion with his legs crossed.

"Do you know where the nearby Marble Mountain is?"

"The villain has heard that there is a place called Wuzhi Mountain. Walk along this road and you will be able to see it after walking for more than 20 miles."

There is also a reason why Wuxing Mountain is called Wuzhi Mountain.

Qin Shushu can be said to have a clear understanding of the origin of the Five Elements Mountain.

The great sage jumped up and down in the Buddha's palm, and was about to jump out again. The Buddha flipped his palm and pushed the monkey king out of the West Heaven Gate, turning his five fingers into five linked mountains of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. , calling the name "Five Elements Mountain", and gently pressing him down.

The great sage was pressured to be dissatisfied and ready to move, which disturbed the ground, and the rocks rolled down, often hurting pedestrians who went into the mountain to collect firewood.

I saw a patrol spirit officer come to report.

"The Great Sage stuck out his head."

Buddha Road.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Only one post was drawn from the sleeve, with six gold characters on it: Well, Nei, Ba, Mi, and Coax.Pass it to Ananda and ask to stick it on the top of the mountain.

The venerable immediately took the post, took out the Tianmen, went to the top of the Five Elements Mountain, and stuck it tightly on a square stone.

That mountain is rooted and jointed, and you can use the breath to climb out with your hands, shake and shake.

Ananda reported,
"The post has been posted."

Tathagata resigned from the gods of the Jade Emperor and went out of the gate of heaven with the two venerables. Then, with a compassionate heart, he recited mantras and summoned a land god from the Five Elements Mountain.
Together with the five parties to Jiedi, he lives in this mountain prison.

But when he is hungry, eat iron balls with him.

When thirsty, drink with his molten copper.

When his calamity is full, someone will save him.

Why can't all kinds of artifacts in heaven, even Taishang Laojun's gossip furnace, be able to defeat Monkey King, but Tathagata Buddha subdued Monkey King with his small five fingers?

It turns out that the Buddha turned his five fingers into the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the five elements are the basic elements that constitute everything.

Tathagata used the five elements endowed with symbolic meaning and the six-character mantra covering the boundless Dharma to subdue Sun Wukong.

In front of the Five Elements and Buddhism, Sun Wukong is simply an ignorant person. He will not understand the connotation of the Five Elements and the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint, let alone understand that he himself is also composed of the Five Elements, coupled with the magic power of Buddhism. Can escape himself?

However, although the Five Elements Mountain restricted Sun Wukong's freedom, it gave him a second life, especially laying a solid foundation for him to practice and become a Buddha later.

After knowing the location of the Five Elements Mountain, Qin Shushu looked at the sky and knew that it was impossible to reach there today.

In addition, at night, there are many ferocious beasts in the jungle, and human eyesight is definitely not as good as that of wild beasts. Even though the combat power has skyrocketed, it is still full of danger.

After making up his mind, Qin Shushu decided to start again tomorrow morning.

In the early morning of the next day, after Qin Shushu had some food, Orion handed the tiger skin skirt to Qin Shushu.

"Put this leather skirt away, but I don't know if it's the same size as yours?"

Qin Shushu was taken aback for a moment, then slapped his head.

Hi!
Why did he just think about bringing Sun Wukong a meeting gift, but he forgot that Sun Wukong's waistline must be different from his.

I'm afraid it's not suitable to hold this tiger skin skirt by myself, right?

Forget it.

As the saying goes, etiquette is less important than people's meaning, and goose feathers are sent thousands of miles away.

As his master, if you give him another gift, what is there to be dissatisfied with?

After bidding farewell to Orion, Qin Shushu rode a white horse and set off, heading towards Wuzhi Mountain along the road pointed by Orion.

Five Fingers Mountain.

The place where Sun Wukong was forced to practice meditation under the Five Elements Mountain.

The cave is narrow and only accommodates one person.

Over time, with the erosion of wind and rain, life and death, there are no weeds and vines around the entrance of the cave, but covered by the six-character mantra, the traces of the roots and seams of the mountain can still be discerned.

More than 500 years ago, Sun Wukong was guarded by Shariputra, the second largest disciple of the Tathagata Buddha, and the most intelligent Shariputra here. The most famous "Infinite Life Sutra" and "Amitabha Sutra" of the Pure Land School of Buddhism are the main ones. By reciting the Buddha's name, practicing Zen and meditating, cultivating the tranquility of the mind, and breaking the reincarnation of the world, one gradually breaks away from the worldly thoughts and walks towards the realm of Buddhism.

500 years of penance and 500 years of concentration have left a valuable wealth for future generations.

500 years later, Sun Wukong was enlightened by the Bodhisattva and protected Tang Monk all the way to the west to learn scriptures, and finally became a Buddha, which is inseparable from his hard practice.

It can be said that the Bitter Zen Cave in Wuxing Mountain gave Sun Wukong a second life.

When Qin Shushu came to the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, he saw an urchin throwing an apple towards a small hole at the foot of the mountain.

"Haha, is the fruit I gave you delicious today?"

There was no response from the small hole, until after the urchin walked away, a furry head poked out, opened his mouth and swallowed the whole apple, chewed it and swallowed it.

This scene happened to be witnessed by Qin Shushu who was riding a white horse.

"Come on! Is this Monkey King?"

Although Qin Shushu was prepared in his heart, when he saw the actual image of Monkey King, he still took a deep breath.

Ugly!

Using these four words to describe the image of Monkey King he saw could not be more appropriate.

The image of Sun Wukong has seven highs and eight lows, a solitary face, two yellow eyes, one kowtow on the forehead, and fangs protruding outwards, just like a crab, with the meat on the inside and the bones on the outside!
A consumptive ghost with a kidnapper face, chin and gills, thunderous mouth, and red eyes!

Solitary crutches refer specifically to the ankle bone of a person. Imagine a face that looks like an ankle bone. How weird and ugly that would be!
And it has a sharp mouth, just like Lei Gong's mouth, the monk with a sharp mouth and Lei Gong's face that is often said in TV dramas. You can imagine how scary the overall match is.

After seeing this scene, Qin Shushu suddenly didn't want to save him.

It's too scary, isn't it!
With his image standing beside me, I feel like being eaten by it at any time, and if I let him out, something might happen to me!

Qin Shushu, who is proficient in history, naturally also understands Sun Wukong's brutal character.

For example, when Monkey King was beating the Bone Demon three times, he once had a dialogue.

"Master, how do you know it! When Lao Sun was a monster in the Water Curtain Cave, if he wanted to eat human flesh, he would be like this. He could change into gold or silver, or become a villa, or become intoxicated, or become a woman. There are those who are infatuated." , fall in love with me, I will fall in love with him in the cave, do whatever I like, steam or boil it for my own benefit.”

"If you can't eat it, you have to dry it in the sun to protect against the cloudy sky! Master, if I come late, you will fall into his trap and be murdered by him!"

From these words, it can be easily analyzed.

Sun Wukong is a cannibal!
And I'm used to thinking it's no big deal!
After beating the Bone Demon three times, Monkey King was driven back to Huaguo Mountain.

At that time, an old monkey told Sun Wukong that hunters often go up the mountain to hunt and catch monkeys.

Sun Wukong was already full of anger and had no place to vent it, so he was so angry that he used a little supernatural powers to slaughter more than a thousand Orion men and horses.

Killing is not counted, after the massacre, Monkey King applauded and laughed.

"Good fortune! Good fortune! Ever since I surrendered to the Tang monk and became a monk, he always advised me that doing good for a thousand days is not enough. Doing evil for one day will make more than enough evil. It's true!"

"I followed him and killed a few goblins, and he blamed me for the murder. I came home today, but ended up with so many hunters."

It is hearty and vivid, and it can be seen from the description here that Sun Wukong's nature is very cruel.

If in the process of subduing Monkey King, if something goes wrong, and Monkey King eats it every minute, then it would be a dead ass!
and so.

Qin Shushu, who originally planned to learn some exercises from Monkey King, couldn't help beating his heart on horseback.

Going back through dreaming is nothing more than the length of time for cultivation, so there is no danger at all!

If this monstrous monkey is released, even if there is such a one-ten-thousandth accident, he will die without a place to bury him, that would be too tragic!

Tang Seng can reincarnate repeatedly, but what about himself?
At this point in time, I haven't been born yet, and even the judge's life and death book doesn't have my name on it, and I don't know how to sentence him when I'm in the underworld, and I'm afraid it will cause even bigger disasters.

Qin Shushu pondered over the pros and cons on horseback, weighing the risk factor, as it was a matter of his life, so he naturally had to be extra careful.

From his observation just now, Sun Wukong didn't seem to have any dislike for that child, and he looked like a monkey in a zoo when he was eating fruit.

After being suppressed by the Five Elements Mountain for so long, is the resentment in his heart getting heavier or weaker?

It is estimated that it is getting heavier and heavier!

Otherwise, why would Avalokitesvara give him a golden hoop?

Yup!

How could I forget this one! ?

Whether you can develop friendship with Monkey King depends on this!
