Recently, I re-examined "Journey to the West" and found that there are a lot of incomprehensible plots, or inconsistencies in the plot, or you can't understand them, in short, these are confusing to you. Today, let's take a look back at the mysteries that puzzle you!
1. Where is the white-clothed Wutian imprisoned?
As we all know, Moro Wutian not only shows the side of Moro, he also has the quality of kindness, we can call his kindness white-clothed Wutian. In "The Return of the Great Sage", the image of the white devil is very cute and funny. In episode 27 of the TV series, Wutian fights Sun Wukong in a one-on-one duel and imprisons him in a dark abyss surrounded by eight thousand weak waters. When Wutian was cultivating in the room, his white-clothed Wutian suddenly appeared and said to him: If it weren't for your kindness, how could I be here? I must show you who I am! Didn't you have imprisoned me in the abyss of darkness five hundred years ago?
However, in episode 29, Sun Wukong leads the saints to the Asura Realm in an attempt to rescue the gods of the Celestial Realm, but unfortunately gets trapped in the formation. At this time, the white-clothed Wutian reappeared, he claimed to be a kind person of Wutian, but was suppressed by the black lotus of the primordial god of Wutian.
Therefore, where is the white-clothed Wutian imprisoned by the lawless? How far are the boundaries between these two worlds? Could it be that the Abyss of Darkness and the Asura Realm are the same region? If so, then what secrets exist in this world? Or is the distance between the two locations very close? The Demon Suppressor has a magical and powerful power - the Demon Suppression Treasure can make people lose their soul and body. It doesn't seem feasible! Zhen Yuanzi once mentioned that the Heaven and Earth Treasure Treasure he possessed had the ability to observe every corner of the world, but there were only two places that he could not reach: one was the dark abyss located outside the Three Realms, and the other was the Great Snow Mountain Vulture Cave where the Buddha had cultivated to the golden body.
This means that the Abyss of Darkness is not located within the boundaries of the Three Realms and is quite far away from the Asura Realm, so this situation is indeed incomprehensible!
2. How could White Lotus, as an ordinary person, defeat that huge scorpion?
The White Lotus was brought back to Lingshan when the generals led by the black robe **Qiaojiazhuang. In order to find the spirit child as soon as possible, the giant scorpion pretended to take her as an apprentice, taught her martial arts and spells, and asked her to go down to earth to find the spirit child after completion.
However, in the final episode, White Lotus was ordered to attack Chonghua Palace and had a battle with her previous **, and surprisingly, she also emerged victorious. How is this possible? It's hard for me to comprehend!
First of all, it should be clear that the White Lotus is just an ordinary person, and the giant scorpion is a thousand-year-old demon, ranking second under the command of Wutian, and its identity and strength far exceed that of ordinary little demons. Looking at it again, if she can really press the giant scorpion to the point of being on an equal footing with her, wouldn't she be ridiculed as a "little fox"? Considering that the giant scorpion wanted to help White Lotus find the spirit child as soon as possible, she only had two or three years to teach her spells and martial arts.
She may only be able to learn two or three percent of her kung fu, but it's surprising that with just two or three percent of her kung fu, she can defeat a master whose comprehensive strength is ten times more than hers, isn't it very realistic? Besides, the giant scorpion was originally a mortal, and it was also a big monster. Not to mention, he was originally an ordinary person, but he fought against a great demon who had cultivated for thousands of years. This great demon had been guided by the Heavenless Buddha, how could he be defeated by an ordinary person so easily?
Surprisingly, Sun Wukong sent an army to attack the four gates and three palaces of the heavenly realm, and assigned the mortal White Lotus to attack one of them. And the two of them joined forces to attack another palace, which was really shocking. It's really not fair! Whether it is Biyou or Erlang God, their strength is enough to overwhelm the White Lotus. It's really puzzling why White Lotus would challenge alone, while two powerful opponents chose to cooperate!
But isn't it a secret? Although the black robe has great strength, under the command of Sun Wukong, it is difficult for him to resist a hundred moves. Erlang God's ability is not much different from Sun Wukong, and he can even defeat the black robe alone. And Bi You, with all the power of the ancient gods, easily suppressed the black robe. But what is surprising is that there are two powerful people here to attack one palace, while an ordinary person goes to attack the other. Ah, it's unbelievable. Isn't this a "conspiracy?" ”
3. Why is there no one in the heavenly realm who can resist?
The Heavenly Realm controlled by the Jade Emperor is located at the head of the Three Realms, and its strength is so powerful that even if it comes, it must be feared for three points. Sun Wukong once asked Rulai to come forward to make a decision because of the grievances of the Dragon King of Jinghe, but Rulai was reluctant to intervene in this matter for fear of offending the Jade Emperor. It is surprising that no one in such a powerful organization was able to resist when Wutian appeared. Although Wutian's strength is comparable to that of Rulai, in the heavenly realm, there are three Qings above the Jade Emperor, how can he not resist a Wutian? Who chose to surrender at this time? Is it just because this is the calamity of the Three Realms, which is beyond the scope of human ability, that we can only sit and wait for the calamity to end, and not resist just to save our fighting strength to the greatest extent?
Even though the main task of the Celestial Realm is to maintain order in the Three Realms, it is truly unbelievable that it was able to remain so calm and unfettered when the Three Realms were facing annihilation! If you want to completely solve this mystery, you must first start with the scriptures from the west. In the endless calamity, only Sun Wukong has the ability to resolve all the crises. All hope is pinned on the hands of Sun Wukong alone. If he fails to collect the sixteen relics, or if the heavenless traps him and guards him at all times, so that no one can help, then he only needs to wait for thirty-three years to pass, will he be able to dominate the cycle of the three realms again? From this point of view, the fate of the great sage is destined to be closely related to the study of scriptures in the west. Wave after wave, where will the future of the Three Realms go?
In this world, it is difficult to see how things are going, but it is really difficult to comprehend the direction of pinning your hopes on one person, and I choose to stand by and use my wisdom to interpret it. Or, if Sun Wukong suffers a failure, will Sanqing choose to go out and destroy Wutian? This is the relationship between "Tang Seng" and "Sand Seng" written in "Journey to the West". While this view is hard to prove, it's hard to believe that the Celestial Realm is doing nothing when disaster is about to strike!
Fourth, the ability of the eight precepts to fight against weak water.
Everyone knows that Bajie was the marshal of the canopy of the Heavenly Realm in his previous life, responsible for managing the 800,000 sailors of the Tianhe, and was a very famous figure. However, due to his illicit relationship with Chang'e, the Jade Emperor demoted him to the animal path and made him a pig. Affected by the memories of his previous life, he could no longer serve food for others, so he cultivated into a demon in the deep mountains. Later, Guanyin Bodhisattva enlightened him and protected the Tang monk who was about to go to the west to learn scriptures, and he began his path of cultivation.
However, in the work "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong is imprisoned in the Abyss of Darkness by Wutian, a place located outside the Three Realms, surrounded by eight thousand weak waters. Weak water is extremely toxic, whether you are a human or a god, as long as you get a drop, it will instantly turn into white bone fragments. Therefore, the danger here is something that all the gods and Buddhas dare not approach. Therefore, he could only spend his life here, until one day, he was able to come out of this world and return to the real world and become a mortal in the true sense of the word. However, only Zhu Bajie is an exception, he was once the marshal of the canopy!
According to Zhen Yuanzi's description, Bajie once led the Tianhe water army to rush to the weak water to participate in the battle, and he made a great contribution to the rescue of the Jade Emperor, so he was awarded the title of Marshal of Tiancang, and controlled the 800,000 water army of Tianhe. Therefore, among these three realms, if one person can successfully cross the weak water, then Zhu Bajie is undoubtedly one of them.
I want to emphasize that the former Marshal Tianfeng had lost his immortal body when the Jade Emperor regarded him as a pig's womb. And now Zhu Bajie, with his own persistence and hard work, successfully protected Tang Seng and enabled him to travel west. Now, his body has been transformed into a golden body by the Dharma, which is different from the original immortal body of the Heavenly Canopy Marshal of the Heavenly Realm. The weak water that he was able to cross in his previous life does not mean that he can successfully survive this life.
After all, his body had changed, moving from the heavenly realm to the Buddha realm. If all the gods and Buddhas can't flow weak water, then how can a pure altar messenger who has been crossed by the Buddha's golden body pass through it smoothly? Since this is the case, then this Tang Seng should have certain conditions to obtain the canopy immortal body. I find this a bit difficult to accept. After all, after a series of operations by Rulai, Zhu Bajie not only obtained the golden body, but also unexpectedly restored the canopy immortal body in his previous life, which was almost impossible. Therefore, this has also become an unsolved mystery in the show!
