Erlang God is different from the Monkey King. Why are Meishan brothers called the Monkey King's second brother?

Nine head worm was unlucky to meet Erlang God. Not in the TV series, Jiro's god shot an arrow on nine head worm's head. In fact, Jiro's pet, Tian Gou, went up and bit the head of Hydra to pieces, and nine head worm flew to Beihai.

Erlang God and the Monkey King should be enemies. Why did the Monkey King take the initiative to ask Erlang God, who came back from hunting, to help subdue the demon? Has he forgotten the old grievances about the big trouble in heaven?

This book describes it like this:

While they were discussing, they suddenly heard the wind rolling and the fog was gloomy, and they suddenly walked south from the eastern path. Monkey watched carefully, and it turned out that Jiro appeared as a sage, leading six Meishan brothers, with eagles and dogs, foxes and rabbits, and roe deer, each with a bow at his waist and a sharp knife in his hand, and coming enthusiastically in the wind and fog. Monkey said, "Pig, that's my seven holy brothers. I'd better ask them to stay and help me. If successful, this will be a great opportunity. " Pig said, "Since we are brothers, we should stay." "But there is a holy brother," Monkey said. I was subdued by him, so I couldn't see him. Go and stop Yuntou and shout,' King Zhen, don't move. The Monkey King is here to worship. "If he hears it's me, he will die. When he settled down, I was very happy. " ? Six brothers, Kang, Zhang, Yao, Li, Guo and Zhi, came out and called, "Monkey, please." Monkey saluted and followed him up the hill. Grandpa Jiro greeted him hand in hand and said, "Great Sage, congratulations on getting rid of the great disaster, being ordained as a Shaman, and getting on the Lotus Tower after a busy day's work! Congratulations! " "I dare not," Monkey said. . "I am very grateful that you didn't show my gratitude. Although it is difficult to leave the west, I don't know what to do. Today, Lu Yu sacrificed to Saiguo, saved the monk from fire and water, and captured the demon Suobao here. Occasionally, I dare to ask for help when I see my brother driving. I haven't judged where my brother is from, and I would like to see love. " Jiro said with a smile, "My brothers and I came back from hunting because we had nothing to do. Fortunately, the Great Sage didn't abandon the meeting, and I feel old feelings again. If you force the demon to fall, it's worse than life! But I don't know what strange thief this place is? " ? Jiro said, "There are clouds in the army. Don't wait for the sign, why are you afraid of the night! " "Don't be busy, big brother," Kang said bluntly. "That fellow home here, nowhere to go. Brother Sun is also a distinguished guest, and the pig has returned to its rightful place. In our camp, we have wine and vegetables to teach children to light a fire, so we will put it out: one congratulates these two people and the other tells the story. Let's have fun tonight. Why wait until dawn? " Jiro was overjoyed and said, "You are right." But he ordered the primary school to make arrangements. "That's very kind of you," Monkey said. . "I dare not give up. But since I am a monk, I fast, and I am afraid that it is inconvenient to be a vegetarian. " Jiro said, "There are vegetarian fruits and wine." Brothers in front of the starlight and moonlight, curtain tower, raise a glass to catch up.

First of all, the Monkey King told Zhu Bajie that Erlang God and Meishan were his seven holy brothers. Even more amazing, the six Meishan brothers called the Monkey King Sun's second brother. I feel that Erlang Shen, the Monkey King and Meishan are eight sworn brothers. And there are deep feelings.

For the first time, he was recommended by Guanyin and invited by the Jade Emperor to surrender the Monkey King in "the Monkey King's Heavenly Palace". It was also the first meeting between the Monkey King and Erlang God. The Monkey King shouted, "Who are you to dare to challenge here?" Zhenjun shouted, "You are as blind as a bat, you don't recognize me! I am the nephew of the Jade Emperor, and my name is Wang Erlang and Zhao. Today, I was ordered to arrest you, a tame monkey who rebelled against the Heavenly Palace. You don't know whether you are alive or dead! " Obviously, two people have never met. Erlang God also mentioned the title of the Jade Emperor's nephew and wanted to show off in front of the Monkey King.

The Monkey King didn't buy it, saying, "I remember that the jade emperor's sister wanted to go to the lower world, cooperated with Yang Jun and gave birth to a man. Did you split Taoshan with an axe? I want to scold you a few times, but I have no grievance. I want to hit you, but your life is gone. You little husband, hurry back and call out your four heavenly kings. " Hearing this, Zhenjun was furious and said, "Po Hou! Don't be rude Eat me a knife! "

The Monkey King's words are like a knife hitting Erlang God's heart, thus exposing Erlang God's shortcomings to the generals of the mountain soldiers, which can be said to be merciless.

The Monkey King's words have two meanings, but these two meanings make Erlang God feel extremely embarrassed everywhere. On the one hand, ancient women were not recognized by their parents, and falling in love in private was a sign of not keeping chastity. According to modern people, this woman is quite lewd and cheap. The Monkey King said that Erlang God's mother wanted to go down, precisely because she was immoral and corrupt. Second, the Monkey King said that Erlang God is a young man in Lang Jun, and he is not worthy to be compared with him, so he should be compared with four heavenly kings. It can be seen that the Monkey King despised Erlang God's fighting ability.

From the conversation, we found that the Monkey King and Erlang God didn't know each other at this time, and they started to expose their shortcomings and criticize their mother, saying nothing.

Then, the Monkey King was captured by heaven and calcined in the old man's gossip furnace for 7749 days. Later, I broke through the gossip furnace and made a scene in Lingxiao Hall, where I was fascinated by the Buddha's spell. Five hundred years later, the Monkey King joined the Buddhist scriptures team with the rescue of Guanyin and Tang Priest. Even before coming to Saisai, the two had never met. How could they be brothers with Erlang God and Meishan Six Brothers? According to the Monkey King's temper, how can he mainly to one of his opponents? What's more, after the Monkey King was arrested, Erlang Shen and Meishan six brothers caught monkeys in Huaguoshan, and most of them died, which was a great harm to the Monkey King. After Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon, the first time I was recovered from Huaguoshan was to see the scene as evidence:

The Monkey King pressed down the clouds and opened his eyes to see that there were no flowers and plants on the mountain, and the haze was gone; The rocks on the top of the mountain collapsed and the forest trees were burnt. Why are you waiting? Just because he disturbed the Heavenly Palace and brought it to the boundary, the mountain was set on fire by the seven Meishan brothers headed by the sage Jiro. This Great Sage is even worse, as evidenced by the ancient view of a broken mountain.

Looking back at fairy mountain, I shed tears and felt even more sad for fairy mountain.

At that time, only the mountain was intact, but today I know there is a loss.

I hate Jiro for killing me, but I am angry with the little sage for bullying others.

Dig the graves of your ancestors, but don't destroy the graves of Zu Er.

The sky is full of haze and fog, and clouds are scattered everywhere.

Dongling doesn't smell tigers, and Xishan sees white apes?

There is no trace of foxes and rabbits in Beixi, and there is no trace in Nangu? Without a trace.

Bluestone burned into thousands of pieces of soil, and blue sand turned into a pile of mud.

Outside the cave, Qiao Song leaned forward, and before the cliff, cypress trees were scarce.

Chinese fir, Chinese fir, cypress, chestnut, sandalwood, peach, apricot, plum, pear and jujube.

How to raise silkworms without mulberries? Wicker and fine bamboo are not so difficult to live in.

The peak turned to dust, and the bottom of the stream was covered with grass.

There is no gardenia in front of the cliff, and the roadside is covered with mud red vines.

Where did all the birds fly in the past? At that time, animals went to rivers and mountains?

The leopard suspects that the python is evil and collapses, and the crane avoids the snake and returns to the ruin.

I think it's the evil thoughts of the other day that make me miserable now.

The above poem is enough to show that the Monkey King hated Erlang God at that time and wanted to dig his ancestral grave. He really gnashed his teeth and was furious!

The monkeys said, "Since Grandpa left, this mountain was set on fire by Erlang Bodhisattva, and most of it was burned. We crouched in the well, drilled in the stream, hid under the iron bridge, and got a life back. When the fire goes out and the smoke is gone, it is difficult to survive without the support of flowers and fruits, and it will be halfway there. Half of us live in the mountains. In the past two years, half of us have been robbed by some hunters. "

The Monkey King, a sentient and righteous the Monkey King, will never forget the mortal enemy, and it is even more impossible to become the "second brother Sun" with Erlang Shen and Meishan six brothers.

In the previous chapter "The Death of the Monkey King", I have discussed the Monkey King's characterization. When the real the Monkey King came out, the real the Monkey King was already dead. The Tathagata didn't send the Monkey King, but 62 macaques.

So the answer is obvious. The Monkey King Jiro met in Shishan was none other than Liu Er's macaque. Liu Er's macaque is also the brother of the Six Monsters of Meishan, namely, the white ape in the Romance of Gods and the Lotus Lantern. His name is Justin in the Romance of Gods. This demon first appeared in Shan Hai Jing.

Some people will say that Justin is actually an armless ape, not a monkey named Liu Er. Then let's analyze the so-called four monkeys of the Tathagata:

The first one is Ling Ming boulder, who knows the changes, weather, location and stars. The second is the red horse monkey, who knows yin and yang, knows people, is good at going in and out, and avoids death and prolongs life. The third is the armless ape, taking the sun and the moon, shrinking the mountain of money, distinguishing the blame, and being silent. The fourth is Liu Er's macaque, who is good at listening and understanding.

The so-called ability of Liu Er's macaque is nothing more than pure wisdom and understanding of the past and future. Arm ape has the ability to change and reverse Gankun. According to the skill, Liu Er's macaque counts words, and the tongarm ape counts martial arts. Through the analysis, we can see that the four monkeys theory mentioned by Tathagata is a hidden mystery. The monkey king was replaced by an armless ape, because Liu Er's monkey skills were not enough to exorcise demons. Tathagata insisted that it was Liu Er Macaque, and it was for the Monkey King. Let the Monkey King know that this Liu Er Macaque, who knows the future, has come, and he must know that it will be fine today. So even the stone monkey, which is going extinct today, the Monkey King accepted the reason and had to escape. Unfortunately, he was covered by the Tathagata's golden alms bowl and killed by the fake Wukong. Arm-in-arm ape replaced the Monkey King and assisted Tang Priest to make a positive result. And Liu Er's macaque is just a Tathagata's story about killing monkeys!

Looking up the ancient myths and legends of China, we can't find any trace of Liu Er's macaque. But from the myth, we found the clue of brachiopod apes. Arm-in-arm apes are intelligent, learning from the western Maitreya Buddha, and they have great magical powers. He can also be merciful, bless all living beings to be safe and auspicious, and enjoy the incense of all people. People respectfully call him "General Monkey", building temples and temples, with infinite scenery and benefiting one side. The weapon in his hand is also a stick named "Optimus Prime".

Obviously, the brachiopod ape is the eldest of the seven eccentrics in Meishan, the sworn brother of Erlang God, and the so-called "Sun Brothers" of the six brothers in Meishan are also the substitutes for the Monkey King's death in the Journey to the West, and also the Indian monkey Hamanu mentioned in my last chapter! Liu Er Macaque is just a virtual title created by Tathagata to divert attention.

The Journey to the West Zhong Erlang is the nephew of the Jade Emperor and the son of Yang Jun .. Besides the legend of "cutting down the mountain to save the mother", there is another clue to pursue, that is, Erlang Baojuan and Erlang Baojuan written in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. "Jiro Bao Juan" is divided into two volumes. At the end of each volume, it says: "Daming Jiajing was honored in Ren Xu on September 34." In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, namely 1555, the earliest publishing time in The Journey to the West was 20 years earlier than this (ad 1592). If, as The Journey to the West usually said, Wu Cheng'en was at home in his later years (after he left Changxing in A.D. 1568), Jiro Bao Juan was written before The Journey to the West became a book. Even according to Wu Cheng'en's statement that he "wrote a journey to the west or finished the first draft" in his youth (in the 21st year of Jiajing, AD 1542), it is unlikely that the author of Erlang Baojuan will see The Journey to the West's first draft and rewrite it into Erlang Baojuan. Therefore, it is very likely that Erlang Baojuan or the folklore of Erlang God based on it had an influence on the depiction of Erlang God Wu Cheng'en in The Journey to the West.

There are different opinions about the figure of Erlang God. However, according to the dialogue between the Monkey King and Erlang God, I think Wu Cheng'en wrote it earlier than Journey to the West according to the account of Erlang God's scroll. "Jiro Bao Juan" mainly describes the birth history of Jiro Zhenjun: Yang Tianyou, the father of Jiro God, is a "golden boy" in heaven and a scholar in Quezhou City. Mother Yun Huaxian fell in love with her old love, married Yang Tianyou privately, and gave birth to Jiro Zhenjun. Because she violated the dogma, she was trapped in Guo Hua by Monkey and was crushed under Mount Tai. Later, Erlang God was instructed by the Queen Mother of the West to "go up the mountain to catch the sun", split the mountain to save his mother Yun Huaxian, and turned to Mount Tai to crush Sun Walker.

Having said that, it is necessary for me to sort out the story of "Romance of Gods" and let everyone know the true connotation of "List of Gods".

In the early days of chaos, three senior immortals, namely, Yuanshi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun and Master Tian Tong, began to enlighten the world and some animals (mainly Master Tian Tong accepted many animals as apprentices) to become immortals. With the increase of the number of immortals, the quality of immortals is mixed. Some immortals began to violate their religion and do some bad things.

In order to manage these immortals, the three great gods decided to set up a heaven headed by the Jade Emperor to manage these immortals. However, in view of the free and easy nature of immortals, they are easy to get used to it, and no fairy will be willing to take up the post of heaven and be manipulated and bound by others. So the three leaders * * * created a list of gods, and Jiang Ziya, the youngest disciple of the original Buddha, carried out their plan. Jiang Ziya was chosen to carry out the plan because he was the least qualified disciple of the second generation, so that he could only enjoy happiness on earth in the future, while other immortals had already surpassed the three realms and had to become immortals.

The list of gods is an opportunity for the disciples below the second generation of both sides to participate in the fighting between the two sides through the attack of King Wu, and all the dead will get the altar waiting for the title. Why do you have to die? This is because once the immortal dies, his soul will be out of body experience. Without great magic to collect his soul, it will disappear sooner or later. These dead souls can only be sealed by the gods in order to survive. In the end, they will be given a place in heaven, and no one will object.

In the list of gods, the leader only let his second-generation disciples participate in the struggle between the two sides. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Twelve Jinxian, a Buddhist, killed three generations of disciples at most.

Although the rules were broken, the list of gods finally realized the creation of China.

I think Yang Jian and Nezha, three generations of disciples, were the first to have their names on the list of gods. It's just that the second-generation disciples who violated the rules didn't listen to the instructions of the leader of Tian Tong and made trouble down the mountain, which eventually led to the unfortunate death of a large number of second-generation disciples! In this way, they replaced the explanations of Erlang God and Li Jing and became 365 gods of justice. Jiro's body was finally sanctified, and he was named Hui Ling, the prince of Zhao, the sage of Jiro, and the true king.

There are many works about Erlang God in the past dynasties, including zaju works: Erlang God drunk and locked the magic mirror in the Yuan Dynasty, Erlang cut Jiao Jian in the Ming Dynasty, Jitian Erlang God locked the Great Sage, and Erlang took the first look at the mouth.
