In the middle of the Ming Dynasty in 1522, Wu Chengen created the pinnacle of gods and demons "Journey to the West". In "Journey to the West", the gods have different strengths. If it is ranked according to the overall strength, Yuan Shi Tianzun is undoubtedly in the first place. However, if measured by magic skills, Bodhi Ancestor is the most remarkable.
Wukong, whose identity background is quite legendary. After jumping out of the stone, he became the Monkey King, and even made trouble in the heavenly palace and broke into the ground in one fell swoop. After 500 years of being pressed by the Buddha at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, Wukong finally achieved the right result and ascended to the Buddha's throne.
Since the launch of the Journey to the West TV series version in 1986, this ** has been warmly welcomed by the audience. In the plot of Goku's Invasion of the Underworld, he is ranked 1350th in the Book of Life and Death. Although this data may seem incredible, it is actually related to the conditions of the ranking of the Book of Life and Death.
Four masters and apprentices. In fact, the ranking is based on the life and death information of the demons. Because Wukong knew this rule, he easily found the name of himself and the monkey monkey grandchildren. So, who is the first place to be sacred? It is speculated that the great god who can be ranked first must have the power to reach the heavens. Among the many demons, there is a monster we are familiar with that actually has the ability to rank first.
This monster is closely related to a story told by Nyorai when Goku asked the Buddha for help. It turned out that when Pangu opened the world, there was a Dapeng bird born. This bird is extremely powerful and can control the power of heaven and earth. Rulai had a fierce battle with Dapeng Bird, and finally made it **. It can be seen that the strength of the Dapeng Bird is far above Wukong, and it is naturally enough to rank first in the book of life and death. In the Three Realms, there is a mighty Great Devil, and that is the Qilin. It was followed by the Phoenix.
Phoenix. We know from Lord Yama's book of life and death that Kirin is at the top of this list, and Goku's ranking is slightly inferior in comparison. However, most of the demons that preceded Goku were those that had existed since the Pangu period. With this in mind, Wukong's ability to achieve such a result, coupled with the majestic momentum he displayed when he made havoc in the Heavenly Palace, is actually quite good.
When we read this classic masterpiece "Journey to the West" with a relaxed mind, we might as well go back to 1918, when Nan Huaijin, who was born in China, already discovered that the work actually blended the traditional Chinese concept of "the unity of heaven and man" with the religious concepts of India and other places. Every character and plot in the book contains profound philosophies.
Today, many netizens have also discovered many novel insights when revisiting this classic. Only those who read it with a true heart will appreciate the charm of this work that has touched people's hearts for thousands of years, and not just as a piece of literature for entertainment.
