100 words of feelings about Chapter 9 of Journey to the West

Chapter 9 of "Journey to the West": How did the old Dragon King die?

The ninth chapter talks about Yuan Shoucheng repeatedly giving instructions to fishermen on fishing matters in the Jinghe River, which led to the arrest of a large number of the Jinghe Dragon King's water tribe, which angered the Jinghe Dragon King, so the Jinghe Dragon King came to trouble Yuan Shoucheng. Unexpectedly, Lao Yuan had already prepared to make the old Dragon King fall into his trap and make a bet with him, but it happened that the old Dragon King had a brain disorder and violated the rules of heaven, and his life was not saved. At this time, Yuan Shoucheng set a trap for him and asked him to seek help from the Tang Dynasty King. This was obviously a bad idea. How could a mortal interfere with the affairs of gods? Isn't this a clear plan to punish him to death (this kind of thing should be done) Look for Taibai Venus). At this time, if the old Dragon King calmed down and thought about the causes and consequences of this matter, and then asked a great immortal to help and plead for mercy, and then asked the Jade Emperor to explain clearly what happened and admit his mistake, I think his ending might be better.

When it rained, the Jinghe Dragon King was sentenced to death for just changing the time and amount of rain privately. The sentence was too harsh. In comparison, Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng, and Sun Wukong committed enough crimes to die several times. It seems that there must be a deeper reason behind this matter.

Regardless of the reasons, let’s look at the results first. As a result, the death of the Dragon King caused Tang Wang Li Shimin's journey to hell, which led to the convening of the Water and Land Conference and ultimately led to the incident of seeking scriptures from the West. If we turn to the eighth chapter of the book again, you will understand: It turns out that Buddha wanted to pass on sutras to the Eastern Tang Dynasty. Everything is clear. In the Tang Dynasty, which does not believe in Buddhism, the Tang Dynasty is the best breakthrough point. Facts have proved that Guanyin's plan is very successful. This time you know who Yuan Shoucheng, Wei Zheng, and Judge Cui are, and this time you know how the Dragon King of Jinghe died.
