Master Bodhi didn’t let Sun Wukong mention his name. Was it because he was afraid of the greatest god in heaven?

Everyone who has read Journey to the West knows that Sun Wukong’s first master was Patriarch Bodhi. After the talented Sun Wukong learned the skills from Patriarch Bodhi, out of his monkey nature and the desire to show off, he With his eyes above his head, he didn't pay attention to anyone. He once performed seventy-two transformations in front of everyone and transformed into a pine tree.

All this was seen by Patriarch Bodhi. Patriarch Bodhi was knowledgeable and powerful. He had long known that Sun Wukong would be unable to control himself and cause trouble, so in order to prevent him from harming himself, he took this opportunity to order him to drop out of school. , and when trying to persuade him to retreat, he said something extremely threatening to Sun Wukong. This is how it is described in the original work: If you go here, you will definitely have a bad life. No matter how much you cause trouble and commit crimes, you are not allowed to say that you are my disciple. If you say even half a word, I will know it. I will peel off the skin and file the bones of you, a hozen, and banish your soul to a secluded place. I will teach you that you will never be able to stand up again!

The reason why Patriarch Bodhi is so afraid of his name being mentioned is to avoid a great god in heaven, that is, Yuanshi Tianzun, the former overlord of heaven. Although on the surface, the master of these three realms is Today's Jade Emperor, but in fact, the Sanqing Dynasty headed by Yuanshi Tianzun also has considerable say.

If our senior brother came to heaven to kill everyone in the name of Patriarch Bodhi, then our Yuanshi Tianzun would definitely not let go, and the person who would come forward would not be Taishang Laojun. A small role! Therefore, if Wukong uses the name of his master to come to Heaven to cause trouble, the nature will completely change. A small fight will escalate into a factional dispute between Sanxing Cave and Heaven, with disastrous consequences. Therefore, Bodhi did not mention it to Wukong. own name.
