Is Liu Er's macaque the Monkey King?

In fact, the Monkey King got the scriptures, and Liu Er's macaque may not exist at all. Please listen to my explanation below (it is also added in the comments. Please give me a compliment if you think you are a good friend):

1. Bodhi asked the Monkey King why he came to the West for the second time. the Monkey King said, "There is no Liu Er here." This "there is no Liu Er here" means that there is no one else. The story about "Liu Er Macaque" in Journey to the West is also relevant here. Wu Cheng'en made a pun, suggesting that Liu Er's macaque was only the incarnation of the Monkey King.

2. As we all know, the golden hoop was originally a treasure left by Dayu when he was controlling water, so there should be only one. Where did Liu Er's macaque come from? Also, the Bodhisattva has only three laps. One is called a tight hoop, which was given to the Monkey King, and the other two were given to Black Bear Essence and Hong Haier. Where did Liu Er's macaque come from?

3. The most reasonable explanation is that Liu Er's macaque is only the incarnation of the Monkey King, and one of his monkey hairs has just become. At that time, the Monkey King had just been accused by Tang Priest. He was angry and wanted to leave the team. He also wounded the Tang Priest and robbed him of his luggage. In order to prove his absence, he made up a story about Liu Er's macaque and the true and false Monkey King, gave performances to the Tathagata and Tang Priest, and found a reason to go back to his hometown in Huaguoshan.

You may have to ask again, so why did the Tathagata catch a "Liu Er Macaque"? Because both Tathagata and Xia Zixian have actually discovered The Secret Behind, the "Liu Er Macaque". Fairy Xia Zi was afraid of the Monkey King and didn't want to offend him, so she pretended that she couldn't tell the difference. As for the Tathagata, I just want to give the Great Sage some face and give him a step. I didn't puncture this paper and didn't want to make the Great Sage unhappy. In addition, the Tathagata said, "If we wait for tools, we are unified." It also implies that the Monkey King and Liu Er are the same person. So he cooperated with the Monkey King and told a lie.

True and false monkey king stills

The Monkey King is indestructible, and the blast furnace can't burn, so he crossed out his name in the book of life and death. Let's rule out the hypothesis that the Monkey King is dead.

6. There is another detail that I don't know if you have found. When the Tathagata revealed the true identity of Liu Er's macaque, the monkey was taken aback and worried, and tried to escape, but was killed by the real the Monkey King. Isn't this a sign of guilt? If it's true the Monkey King, he won't be afraid. Anyway, it's a joke that Liu Er's macaque took the place of the Monkey King to study Buddhism.

7. Liu Er's name is also meaningful, and Liu Er means a third party. This third party exists in your heart and will jump out when your will is not firm. One explanation is that Liu Er is a restless "monkey" in Wukong's mind and a link in Wukong's multiple monkey pattern. Liu Er's macaque is the Monkey King's second heart, so it looks exactly like the Monkey King, but its heart is different. His heart is bad and vicious. He's going to knock down the Tang Priest with one punch, and he's going to fetch Buddhist scriptures on his back alone, and one person will take the credit. So, now we should know that only the fake the Monkey King, the Monkey King's second heart, died on the way to learn from the scriptures. Without second thoughts, the Monkey King naturally won't quarrel with Tang Priest again, and naturally he will be able to go to the Western Heaven smoothly, then get the true scriptures and finally get the positive results, so as to win the Buddha.

Detailed explanation can be found in the original Journey to the West or online. Of course, the title of The Journey to the West's 58th poem and the poems in it also contain the mystery set by Wu Cheng'en. I am Peng. We will break it down next time.
