"This is indeed a big gossip. How interesting.”
"Even Dao Ancestors have illegitimate children. The Heavenly Court sent assassination missions. Buddhism eats people and slanders Taoism. There's nothing good about this Journey to the West!”
"I'm really laughing. Journey to the West is really amazing. Everyone has good and evil sides. This is true human nature!”
Many people sighed and marveled at the author's strength.
"Right, speaking of this, I have to mention the definition of immortals and demons because I saw that people on the Internet and private chat with me have been asking about this.
Immortals were cultivated by humans. As long as they were immortals, they could not live forever. How could they die?
And monsters were animals or all kinds of things that had become spirits. Basically, these were the two views.”
Qin Yu paused and continued,"I can only say that this point of view is simply too narrow. It may also be misguided by the film and television series. I'll explain it to you thoroughly here."
First, what was the difference between immortals and demons? Could it be that those who cultivated were really demons?
First of all, the original text clearly stated that immortals and demons only lacked a formal establishment!
Let's take Sun Wukong as an example. After Sun Wukong learned the martial arts, he became very powerful. He stole the Dragon King's Ocean-Pacifying Needle and beat the King of Hell. When these two people reported to the Jade Emperor, let's see what the Jade Emperor said.
The third time, the Jade Emperor asked,"How many years did this demon monkey grow up? What generation did it come from? How can it be so righteous?"”
It could be seen that the Jade Emperor was referring to the demon monkey.
At this time, Sun Wukong could not get a formal establishment. Without the recognition of the Heavenly Court, he was a monster!
In the fourth chapter, Sun Wukong despised the small official position of the horse and refused to accept the leadership of the higher-ups.
When he was an official, he was an immortal. But now, he became a demon and was surrounded by the Jade Emperor's heavenly troops.
Later on, Sun Wukong received the recognition of the Heavenly Court and agreed to be the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal. This was the official establishment and he directly became an immortal!
Sun Wukong repeatedly had a few conflicts with the Heavenly Court. From immortal to demon, from demon to immortal, it kept changing. It all depended on the meaning of the Heavenly Court's leaders. If you go to the lower realm, you are a demon.
Therefore, this had nothing to do with the strength of one's magic power or whether one had cultivated it. The strength of one's magic power only showed how capable one was. It had nothing to do with whether one was divine or not.
One more thing, did becoming an immortal really mean immortality?
This was something that was misled by the TV series.
If one wanted to live forever, they had to eat immortal food, such as immortal peaches, ginseng fruits, and other rare fruits.
These were all clearly stated in the original text. Of course, eating these things did not mean that one could not live forever. There was a limit to how many years one could live after eating these things. After that, one would still die!
For example, Sun Wukong was still dead after cultivating and was lured into the underworld. He only lived for more than 300 years. As for the other immortals, they were no exception.
So, there's no need to argue about this. Everyone, don't privately chat with me anymore. I'll give a unified answer here.”
After saying that, Qin Yu drank all the water in the teacup.
Then, he looked at the original work and said,"I just mentioned Red Boy, which can be considered a Daoist secret. Next, I'll talk about Buddhism.
Everyone still remembers that in Journey to the West, there was a very special demon. This demon was the yellow-browed ancestor.”
"I remember, I remember. He has two good treasures. One is the human heaven and earth bag, and the other is the golden cymbal.”
After Qin Yu finished speaking, someone immediately responded.
Everyone had memorized the plot in Journey to the West, but they did not know the details and reasons.
Qin Yu nodded and said,""That's right. Do you still remember why he came to make things difficult for Tang Sanzang and the others?”
"I remember that it was because Patriarch Yellow-Browed was not convinced by Sun Wukong and the others, so he wanted to compete with Sun Wukong. He wanted to go to the Western Heaven to obtain the scriptures himself!”
"Yes, that's the plot. I remember it too.”
"This yellow-browed forefather seems to be a subordinate of Maitreya Buddha.”
Many people in the classroom answered Qin Yu.
Qin Yu smiled and said,""Patriarch Yellow-Browed was originally a subordinate of Maitreya Buddha. Maitreya Buddha is also known as the Buddha of the East or the Buddha of the Future. He basically took over Rulai's position and can be called the Deputy Buddha.
Why did he still want to go and obtain scriptures from the eldest disciple of the Buddha?”
After hearing Qin Yu's question, everyone was speechless. It seemed to be true!
"So, this is what I want to say. The so-called dissatisfaction with Sun Wukong, wanting to compete, wanting to learn from him, these are all excuses.
In reality, Patriarch Yellow-Browed's crisis was an internal conflict within the Buddhist Sect. It was a conflict between the forces of Buddha Tathagata and Buddha of the East!”
