What is the origin of the Monkey King? Why are the "big brothers" in the three realms so good to him?

As the first of the four classical novels The Journey to the West, the aura of the protagonist will naturally not be born for no reason, so today we will discuss why no one in the three realms dares to kill the Monkey King.

As we all know, the Monkey King was born in a fairy stone on the top of Guo Hua. He was born in a special way, jumping out of the stone.

The birth of the Monkey King can also be said to have shocked the Three Realms. In the first time in the original work, it is described as follows: He learned to walk as soon as he was born, got up and worshipped everywhere, and with two golden lights in his eyes, he shot at Dou Fu, which shocked the noble and compassionate Jade Emperor and the mysterious god. Even the Jade Emperor, as the master of the Three Realms, noticed the birth of the Monkey King, which is enough to prove that the Monkey King was doomed to an extraordinary fate from birth.

At the same time, let's take a look at the immortal stone that gave birth to the Monkey King. It is said that this fairy stone is a stone in the Goddess of Mending Heaven. It has been raised on the top of Guo Hua Mountain for tens of thousands of years, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and gave birth to the Monkey King. It seems that this is a miracle of nature. But don't be fooled by this illusion, because it is the result of someone's deliberate action.

For the first time, the original work describes in detail the stone born in the Monkey King, roughly expressing that the size of this stone is just in contrast with the scale of Sunday and the twenty-four solar terms, just like deliberately showing that this stone is a natural product and a doomed result.

Meanwhile, let's see what is carved on this stone. It turned out to be nine orifices and eight holes, carved according to the image of Jiugong Bagua. Many strange images are reflected on a stone. As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon. So when all these coincidences converge on this stone, it is really deliberate.

The Monkey King's life experience, the person behind this is one of the old gentlemen in Sanqing. There are several reasons.

First, Jiugong Bagua Map corresponds to nine orifices and eight caves, which is a symbol of Taoism. In fact, the Eight Diagrams of Jiugong originated from the Book of Changes, although the Book of Changes was regarded as a standard by Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism in the history of China.

However, Taoism, as the earliest sect born and raised in China, has made the most contributions to the development and continuation of the Book of Changes. Therefore, this Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams is a symbol of Taoism. According to this logical reasoning, the person who created this immortal stone must be a Taoist middleman.

Second, the scene in water curtain cave proves once again that the people behind the scenes must be Taoist middleman. In the first time, the Monkey King entered water curtain cave through the waterfall water curtain. The original text is written like this: but see the moss piled green, the white clouds floating with jade, and the haze is shaken. Virtual window quiet room, sliding stool board flowers ... look at that one-pole, two-pole pruning bamboo, three and a half clubs. A few pine trees often bring rain, just like a family.

It can be seen from this scene that water curtain cave must have been inhabited before, and he just left, even after the Monkey King was born. Moreover, the setting environment of his life is very similar to the style of a Taoist. It is bold to speculate that a Taoist middleman planned a plan and created the Monkey King. In order to carry out the plan smoothly, he stayed in nearby water curtain cave to control the Monkey King's birth. In order not to expose his plans, he left Huaguoshan after the Monkey King was born.

Thirdly, in the setting of The Journey to the West, Nu Wa was transformed by the old man. There is evidence in the original work. In chapter 35 of the original work, Yin Jiao Wang said: The gourd in my hand came from my ancestors at the beginning of the world. In the name of being a son-in-law, he refined the immortal stone into a treasure to save the world.

In fact, Nu Wa was transformed by the old gentleman, and the fairy stone that gave birth to the Monkey King is the fairy stone used by the goddess to mend the sky. Doesn't this prove that Taishang Laojun is behind the creation of the Monkey King?

This conclusion is positive. Combined with the Monkey King's havoc in the Heavenly Palace in the later period, Taishang Laojun made the Monkey King eat Jiuzhuan elixir easily and escape from the gossip furnace, so he accidentally learned that King Kong was incorruptible and critical, which once again confirmed this conclusion.

This can also explain why the Tathagata Buddha did not choose to execute on the spot when he was ordered to suppress the Monkey King, but chose to use the Five Elements Mountain seal to keep the Monkey King alive. After all, the big backer behind it is the great old gentleman who is one of the Sanqing.

Since the Tathagata can know this, the jade emperor must also know it, that is to say, the supreme leaders of the two major religions who have the strength to kill the Monkey King will also know it, so it can be said that almost no one dares to kill the Monkey King in the whole three realms, because they are all afraid of being retaliated by the old gentleman. After all, Sanqing is at the top of the immortal system of Journey to the West, and its strength is self-evident, which is naturally very threatening.

The checks and balances of power, so why did the old man do this? Friends who are familiar with Journey to the West must know that although the Jade Emperor is the master of the Three Realms, Sanqing is actually the top figure of Taoism.

It can be seen from the whole journey to the West that the Jade Emperor actually supported Buddhism to learn from the West, but it was only early in the morning that the Jade Emperor had the intention of joining hands with Buddhism. For the sake of Taoist justice, but because of face, I can't do it myself, so I created an outsider like the Monkey King to achieve the purpose of balance.

However, the plan can't keep up with the change. Even though the old gentleman on Tai Shang struggled secretly for many times, the Monkey King was still in the hands of the Tathagata Buddha, and the Tathagata took the opportunity to earn the Monkey King's income, and made it clear that he was loyal to the Jade Emperor at the beginning of the An Tian meeting, which also completely shattered the plan of the old gentleman on Tai Shang.
