Is there a Tiger Brother in the Monkey King?

In the second year of Tang Priest's Buddhist scriptures, that is, in the 14th year of Zhenguan, they arrived in Huang Fengling and met the first decent monster, namely King Huang Feng.

This is the second time that Tang Priest was captured by General Yin near Liangjieshan. The only difference is that Tang Priest is surrounded by two well-connected disciples, one is the Monkey King and the other is Zhu Bajie.

The monster who caught the Tang Priest was not King Huang Feng, but one of his vanguard officers, called Tiger Pioneer!

Yang Tan Journey to the West No.292: Journey to the West: Pig Bajie raked the first undead, betrayed by his eldest brother, and helped count the money!

One,

The Tang Priest and his disciples went all the way west. About 30 miles from Huang Fengling, they once met a family, and they also spent the night there.

Since the Tang Priest accepted these two well-connected disciples, he proudly introduced himself. The poor monk came to the Tang Dynasty in the east and was ordered to learn from the West. He passed by here, hoping to spend the night here.

But when the old man heard the origin of Tang Priest, he shook his head at him and said:

"Can't go, difficult to learn in the west. To learn from the scriptures, go east. "

When Tang Priest heard this sentence, he was still puzzled. Guanyin Bodhisattva clearly told me to go to the Western Heaven for Buddhist scriptures. Are there really scriptures in the eastern sky?

Just when Tang Priest remembered, the Monkey King mumbled that he was the Monkey King, the Monkey King who made a scene in the sky 500 years ago. He is very powerful, even if there are more monsters in the west, I am not afraid.

At that time, the old man laughed at the Monkey King, saying that he boasted and was not afraid to flash his tongue. If he really has such a great skill, he will not be unable to go to the West.

Later, under the repeated questioning of Tang Priest, the old man told the truth. It turns out that there is a mountain called Huang Fengling 30 miles west of his home. In Huang Fengling, there are many monsters, so it is difficult to learn from them when going west, but it is much easier to go east.

Because of the old man's words, the Tang Priest on the road the next day was also afraid and suspicious, and even a gust of wind blew on the mountain. He thought it was a demon wind:

"This wind is very bad, different from that day."

Even under the Monkey King's questioning, Tang Priest wrote a poem to describe this strange wind, which scared Pig away.

Second,

So is this gust a demon wind?

It's true, it's also the wind made by a tiger spirit. Pig eight quit to see the tiger essence in action, is a rake. The monster escaped this rake and was annoyed, so he stood and identified himself to Tang Priest:

"He is a pioneer on the way forward under the command of King Huang Feng. He was ordered by the king to patrol the mountains and bring some ordinary people to make wine. "

Not to be outdone, Pig Bajie also showed himself to the monster. If you hurt my master, you will never be spared!

In addition, Zhu Bajie has just joined the Buddhist scriptures team and is eager to show himself. Hit the monster when he saw him messing up, and he was anxious. While blocking the Monkey King, don't let him in front, while holding a rake and rushed up.

But this tiger pioneer is really fierce. He played dozens of rounds with Pig Bajie, and there was no winner. But with the Monkey King's character, Pig Bajie can't be a striker and look after his luggage at the back.

So, in a short time, he left the Tang Priest and went after Pig Bajie and Tiger Pioneer, so that he would surely win the monster and not let the second brother take the credit alone.

However, under the joint attack of the Monkey King and Pig Bajie, the tiger pioneer took off his tiger skin and turned it into a gust of wind. Kidnapped the Tang Priest, who was shivering on the roadside. He had just learned the Heart Sutra from Zen Master Wu Chao.

Wait until the tiger pioneer with a knife in his waist holds the Tang priest in his hand and gives it to the cave owner. When the cave owner heard that the fat monk turned out to be the Tang Priest, his face immediately changed:

"He has a disciple named Sun Walker, who is well-connected and clever. How can you catch him? "

Third,

So who is the owner of this cave?

Huang Fengwang, also known as Huang Fengguai, was originally a little mouse on Lingshan Mountain. Because he stole the clear oil from the glass lamp, the room became dark. Four donkey kong tried to catch him and scared him to escape here. Later, Bodhisattva Ji Ling got the Buddha's decree to surrender the rat essence and serve his sentence here:

"I received an imperial edict from the Tathagata and brought Huang Fengguai to this town. Tathagata gave me a Ding Fengdan and a flying dragon staff. "

However, it is incredible that Bodhisattva Ji Ling lives more than 2,000 miles away from Huang Fengling. This distance is almost the distance from Beijing to Shanghai, which is completely equivalent to stocking.

Huang Fengguai never thought that after he made a mistake, he was sentenced, but he didn't think that as long as he didn't leave Huang Fengling, he could accept his younger brother, eat meat, drink and be handsome.

In this case, Huang Fengguai's men slowly gathered some monsters, among which a tiger essence, the aforementioned tiger pioneer, was the most appreciated by him.

Under normal circumstances, those who can be pioneers are brave people who are not afraid of death!

When marching in the war, the vanguard troops walked ahead to open the way and constantly passed the information they found to the troops behind. And this tiger pioneer is equivalent to the pioneer general of the vanguard, appointed by the pre-war guard.

Although it sounds tall, this posture is also quite dangerous. If you are not careful, you will die on the battlefield. Moreover, the main members of this vanguard are often children from poor families. If they want to achieve a class leap, they can't afford to learn the imperial examination. Then we can only rush forward with this spirit of not afraid of death. As long as you don't die, you will fight a battle, and that is meritorious service.

Fourth,

And this tiger pioneer is a child of a poor family!

When we were studying, we all learned a classical Chinese book, Ma Shuo, written by Han Yu, a writer in the Tang Dynasty. It begins with the following sentence:

"With Bole, there is a swift horse. There are often swift horses, but Bole is not often. "

Some people say that gold will shine sooner or later, which is true, but the effect of luminescence in ten years is completely different from that in a billion years or even in an infinite future.

If we are familiar with history, we will also find that all the "swift horses" in history have good things together. Like Liu Bang's poor buddies in Pei County, Zhu Yuanzhang's children in Fengyang, and even the generals in Hongan, Hubei after the founding of the People's Republic of China. ...

This just shows that we have never lacked talents, and a county's talent reserve is enough to govern a country.

This rule also applies to the Monkey King, who gave the monkey a good life and was born in the land of Feng Shui in Huaguoshan. Moreover, the Monkey King later studied Buddhism in Xie Yue's Samsung Cave, not that he was a disciple of Bodhi, but that he was a disciple of the Monkey King. Don't reverse this order. If people don't want to accept him as an apprentice, it's useless for the Monkey King to kneel and die at the mouth of the cave. If Bodhi's father is unwilling to teach the Monkey King real talents and practical knowledge, it will be useless for the Monkey King to work as a handyman all his life.

In addition, he later gilded the sky, wore a halo under the grass roots, accompanied Tang Yan on a business trip to Lingshan, and stood in the light.

And the tiger pioneer, even if the throat roar, also want to sing "lone brave" loudly:

"I love you walking alone in the dark alley, I love the way you don't kneel, I love you to face despair ..."

Five,

Who says heroes stand in the light?

However, if you don't stand in the light, others will never take you seriously. When you chase the light, the bumps along the way will even kill you!

Tiger Pioneer is a light chaser!

He is brave and resourceful. In the face of the Monkey King and Zhu Bajie who reported to this newspaper, he did not flinch. He dares to lift two broadswords to cut. Indeed, in the eyes of some bosses in mixed society, his pioneer, with two copper knives in his hand, chopped down all the way with sparks and lightning, and would be cut into gangsters sooner or later.

After all, our ancestors taught us:

"Since ancient times, I have been afraid of being knocked out and I am afraid that I will not die!"

Moreover, Tiger Pioneer is not an idiot. He can also play tricks, use his brain and use his power. He can fool the Monkey King and Pig Bajie and kidnap Tang Priest under their noses, which is strong evidence:

"This is called golden cicada. He will be here, but he left. Let's go back and see Master, and don't be killed. "

As far as skills are concerned, tiger pioneers can make wind. Although it makes the wind smell fishy, Tang Priest can be captured. More importantly, the tiger pioneer is different from other monsters on the way to learn from the scriptures. He will change, which is his advantage.

Then I thought of the snake essence near Xiaoleiyin Temple, which once smashed the monk into a rotten watermelon. It is very powerful, but it can't cultivate into human form and can't even speak.

But the tiger pioneer turned into a human form and fought with the Monkey King and Pig Bajie, which also required a prerequisite:

"The tiger stood upright, its left front paw turned over, grabbed its chest, grabbed it, slammed it, skinned it and stood by the road."

Six,

This prerequisite is that he must peel off his tiger skin in order to exert more superb magic or power.

Of course, the Monkey King is not perfect, and his seventy-two changes can't change his red ass and red tail. Theoretically, as long as you learn the art of change, you can completely avoid the first natural disaster 500 years later, that is, the lightning disaster. No matter which monster, as long as it can survive 500 years, it is not far from becoming a big demon or even a fairy.

It's just that this change of Tiger Pioneer is too painful, and it needs to be torn open first and then peeled off to change:

"The monster saw that he came so close, but he scratched his chest, skinned it, covered it on the Crouching Tiger Stone, took off his real body, turned into a gust of wind and went straight back to the intersection."

One of the top ten tortures in Qing Dynasty is called peeling, which really hurts.

In fact, tiger pioneers can learn better change skills, rather than such street vendor skills. It's just a journey to the west in such a big world, but there is no place for him to learn from his master. He will live all his life, and it's estimated that he won't be able to find a Bodhi ancestor to learn top-level spells.

Of course, he is not as lucky as the black bear essence. There lived a man near Kannonji, with a big demon around him, and he was finally taken in by Guanyin Bodhisattva. Even he is not as happy as General Yin near Liangjieshan. Although he has no skill, he is a general after all. There is no need to charge ahead, and he has a narrow escape.

Even after the accident, he became the scapegoat of King Huang Feng:

"When I teach you to patrol the mountain, you only bring some mountain cows, pheasants, fat deer and lake sheep. Why did you bring the Tang Priest here, but let his disciples come here to make trouble? How did you get into trouble? "

Seven,

In fact, the tiger pioneer who will observe the expression of King Huang Feng will not mistakenly think that the Monkey King is easy to surrender:

"The king rest assured, don't worry. The youngster is incompetent, and he is willing to lead fifty little devils out of the school gate and take the monkey to eat with him. "

That is to say, at this time, King Huang Feng has not found the Tiger Pioneer. This walker is the Monkey King who made a scene in heaven 500 years ago!

So clear, let the pioneer officer die!

"As long as we hold the monkey, we can eat a piece of meat from the monk, and we are willing to be brothers with you. But I'm afraid I can't take him away, and I will hurt you. Then don't blame me. "

Tiger Pioneer, I have five or six hundred soldiers here. You can choose the death squad. If you can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, I am willing to become sworn brothers with you. If you can't break the enemy, don't blame me for being rude!

It is conceivable that the Tiger Pioneer beat the Monkey King. Isn't that throwing eggs at stones?

No wonder Wu Cheng'en wrote poems satirizing this tiger essence:

"That monster is a real goose egg, and Wukong is a stone. The Monkey King with a bronze tool rest is as muddy as an egg and a stone. "

It turned out that after the tiger was defeated, he still had a chance to escape back to the cave and hug Huang Fengguai's thigh to avenge him. But because the eldest brother spoke in advance, Tiger Pioneer dared not go back because of the hole, so he had to run away. As a result, Pig Ba Jie raked him to death.

In sharp contrast, at the beginning, Tiger Pioneer ordered fifty small demon death squads, but those fifty small demons returned to the cave unscathed and reported to King Huang Feng.

Eight,

When King Huang Feng heard the news of the death of Tiger Pioneer, he was uncharacteristically afraid that the Monkey King was too scared just now, but now he is healthy and wants to avenge Tiger Pioneer. Why?

Everyone watches TV. Why did Pang Tong, Liu Bei's most important counselor, die in the late New Three Kingdoms?

One of the reasons is to give Liu Bei a surprise victory. After all, his military adviser has done it, which is completely worth sending troops, and he no longer cares about morality and immorality.

In other words, for King Huang Feng, Tiger Pioneer must die!

On the one hand, it is the reason I mentioned earlier (Yang) that a heavyweight monster can't die, and the king who is still serving his sentence risks going to the Monkey King, lacking some moral support.

Second, Tiger Pioneer knows too many secrets of Huang Fengguai, even though he became an actor at the request of Bodhisattva Ji Ling, to prevent him from studying scriptures. But in this process, stealing chickens and dogs, killing people and stealing goods are bound to be done, otherwise Tiger Pioneer will not catch the monk and feed him. These things are against the regulations.

Third, do you remember the old man we mentioned at the beginning? Why did he suggest that the East can also learn from the scriptures?

Indeed, Tang Priest comes from the East. There is a Baota shan in the east and a Zen master Wu Chao on the mountain. Wu Chao Zen Master taught Tang Priest a book called "The Heart Sutra". It can be said responsibly that the scriptures that Tang Priest later got from Tathagata in Lingshan are all waste paper, which can't be compared with the Multi-Heart Sutra at all.

Of course, we have talked about this before, and we will talk about it in detail later.

Besides Zen master Wu Chao, who else is in the East?

Yes, that's a Buddha from the East. The Buddhism that Tang Priest learned in Datang is called Hinayana Buddhism, which is actually a Buddha handed down from the East, that is, Maitreya Buddha.

Of course, because of the space, why Maitreya and Bodhisattva Ji Ling sent King Huang Feng to block the Buddhist scriptures, and why they deliberately revealed their information to help King Huang Feng surrender. Let's tell the secret here next time!

As for Tiger Pioneer, I can only sigh. A person has worked hard enough for fame and fortune, hard enough, and hard enough on himself. It's a pity that he followed the wrong boss, which is a pity.
