Why did the king of the Journey to the West eat his heart and kill the French king and the monk, and why did the immortal Buddha prolong his life and bless him?

There are evil spirits, evil spirits, evil spirits and, of course, wicked people in Journey to the West. In Wu Cheng'en's works, two people committed heinous crimes and never killed anyone. However, they were not punished by God, but blessed by the immortal Buddha.

Didn't you say that evil is rewarded with evil and good with good? Are the Three Immortals and Three Buddhas also bullying the good and fearing the evil? What the hell is going on?

On the way to learn the scriptures, there was a country that kept many children in cages. Tang Priest and his disciples were very surprised when they saw it. Only after asking did I know that it was the king who loved beauty and sang every night, so that he was weak and dying. The abbot presented the fairy prescription, saying that taking11childlike innocence as a lesson, we can refine the medicine to prolong life.

This is absurd and cruel. However, what is the reaction of the monk king? When the king heard the news, he immediately ordered all the children in the city to be locked up, and only when the weather was fine would his heart be cut open.

This shows that this king is not only dissolute and heartless, but also cruel and heartless. Not only is he not worthy to be king, but he is not even qualified to be a man.

However, it is such a bad king recognized by all. What is the final result?

After the Tang priest and his disciples surrendered to the king, the king invited Tang priest and his disciples to have dinner with the birthday boy.

During the dinner, none of these immortals, including the Monkey King, criticized the king. I just wrote that Pig Bajie ate all kinds of delicious food in the world, regardless of good or bad.

At the end of the banquet, the king asked the birthday boy to give him a way to prolong his life. The birthday boy gave the king three dates.

The original road: The king swallowed it and gradually felt sick and retired. All the immortals were born here in the future. ?

It turned out that the bad king ate three fire dates, but he lived for hundreds of thousands of years.

Why is the king so cruel and confused? Why does the birthday boy give a date?

It is precisely because the king is cruel to the people that he has always respected Taoist immortals. It used to be a sacrifice to the monarch, and then it was necessary to sacrifice to the birthday girl. The birthday girl can use this king to get countless incense, which is naturally good for the king.

Even the Monkey King didn't dare to kill the king. On the way to learn the scriptures, Tang Priest and his disciples can only kill demons, not people, and they can't ignore the king's laws. So, when he left, the Monkey King just told the king that if he did more good deeds, he would be blessed for a long time.

On the way to learn from the scriptures, there was a country called extermination law. The king of that country specializes in killing monks. The king didn't just talk about it verbally, he had made a splash of killing evil.

Guanyin Bodhisattva turned into an old mother to remind Tang Priest and his disciples. She said: In the past two years, 9,996 unknown monks have been killed one after another. It's not complete until the four famous monks have collected enough 10 thousand.

As the largest immortal Buddha in Xiniuhe Prefecture, why did he condone the French king to kill monks for two years? As the commander-in-chief of Buddhist scriptures, why didn't Guanyin Bodhisattva arrange immortals to intimidate, subdue and destroy the French king in advance? At least, give the monks a dream and tell them not to destroy France.

Guanyin Bodhisattva gave a reason: the king held a grudge in his last life and committed crimes for no reason in this life.

Guanyin Bodhisattva said implicitly. Later, the king explained: I am willing to kill monks all the year round. I was once slandered by a monk. I wish to kill 10 thousand monks to be complete.

In other words, monks are also at fault, and the king killed monks for a reason. Therefore, even Tathagata and Guanyin cannot interfere forcibly.

Another important reason is that the king of France is a good king.

After Guanyin left, the Monkey King jumped into the air to see French cities. The original text says:

Standing in the clouds, looking down, I saw the joy and auspicious light in the city. Monkey said, Good place to go. Why did you break the law? ?

Although the French king killed the monk, he was good to others and thousands of people in other countries. It is precisely because of the happiness of the people that the auspicious light ripples over the city.

In other words, the king did more than he did. So the Monkey King didn't kill the king directly, but used his magic power to shave off all French officials, big and small. When the French king saw it, he was frightened and surrendered immediately.
