Super Prestige System

Chapter 353 The Sutra Learning Team Got Rich?
If the Tathagata treats Tang Seng with such a vicious attitude, the people below will naturally not take Tang Seng's teacher and apprentice seriously. Anuo and Jiaye, who were ordered to take Tang Seng to learn scriptures, even blatantly asked Tang Seng for "personnel".

The "personnel" mentioned by the two people is the legendary benefit fee, or it is called: hard work fee.It can also be called: errand money, tea money.

Anuo and Jiaye are also Buddhist venerables at any rate. When the venerable opened his mouth, he must not ask for a small amount of money. Since he opened the mouth in person, the amount he wanted must not be small.

Here comes the question, does the Journey to the West team have money?

As we all know, Tang Seng has only three valuable things: cassock, Zen staff, and purple gold bowl.

The cassock and Zen staff were randomly refined by Zhou Ding. They may be good things in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of Buddhist sages, they must be regarded as rubbish, right?

In addition to the cassock and Zen staff, Tang Seng also has a purple gold bowl, but the purple gold bowl is cast by ordinary people. Although the material is good, it should not be able to enter the eyes of His Holiness, right?
What exactly do the two Venerables want?

The answer is only two words: captured!

Everyone knows that the Journey to the West team has wiped out a lot of monsters along the way. How could it be possible that they didn't capture anything?
Wukong and the others are not fools, and Bajie is a well-known money fanatic. Since he is not a fool, if he kills the monster, he must search for the loot in the monster's house, right? ,
Here comes the question. Journey to the West has never mentioned the matter of seizure. Did Wukong and others really capture it?

The answer is very positive: yes!

However, not every monster's spoils can be captured.

First of all, monsters with backgrounds and backgrounds cannot be captured. If their things are captured, they will still have to be spit out.

For example: golden horn and silver horn.

Wukong wanted to get the magic weapon of golden horn and silver horn, but was finally taken back by Taishang Laojun.

If Wukong dares not to give it: Hehe...

Secondly, the mounts of the Niubi characters, or the monsters subdued by the Niubi characters, will not be seized.

For example: the first monster Wukong encountered on the westward journey: Black Bear Spirit!
The black bear spirit was subdued by Guanyin, so Wukong didn't dare to seize the things in the black bear spirit's house.

Not only did he dare not confiscate the things in the house of the black bear spirit, but Wukong also did not dare to confiscate the things in the house of the carp spirit in Guanyin's house, and Guanyin's mount Golden Retriever Roar.

Enjoying the same treatment as Avalokitesvara, Puxian Bodhisattva and Manjusri Bodhisattva, the green-faced lion-headed fairy appeared twice, but Wukong was not captured, and the Lingya fairy appeared once, but Wukong was not captured either.

Does Wukong treat Buddhists in a special way?

Not also!

As mentioned earlier, Buddhism is also divided into sects. The only people who can make Wukong give special treatment are those of the Tathagata sect. If it is another sect, let alone a Bodhisattva, even a Buddha, Wukong will not give face.

Which Bodhisattva, which Buddha?
Let's put this question aside for the time being, and talk about it later, let's talk about other monsters that cannot be captured.

Again, if other gods are invited to subdue the monsters, Wukong will also not be able to capture the spoils of these monsters.

The other gods helped to subdue the monster, and the spoils of the monster should belong to other gods. At least, Wukong couldn't eat alone, and had to share it with other gods.

For example: the All Saint Dragon King and the Nine-Headed Insect in the Bibo Pond of Troubled Times Mountain in the original work.

Wukong in the original book, because of eating iron pills and copper water for 500 years, his strength has been greatly reduced.

After killing the monsters, what did Wukong do?
{I saw him go ashore with two boxes in his hands, and said to Erlang Shen: "I feel the power of my brother, I got the treasure, and wiped out the demons and thieves."}
What does that mean?

What Wukong means is: Thanks to you, the monsters are wiped out. Here are two treasures. Let's see how we divide them?
Erlang God is to explain and teach three generations of direct disciples, and he is also the nephew of the Jade Emperor, so he is not a shallow-sighted person.He knew: Although these two things are good, they are hot to touch. The Ganoderma lucidum belongs to the Queen Mother, and the Buddhist relics belong to the Buddhist sect.

Therefore, Erlang God declined Wukong's kindness, and pretended to be generous: "One is that the king is so blessed, and the other is that Xian Kunyu has infinite supernatural powers. What merits do I have!"

In the original book, God Erlang didn't take it, and Wukong didn't dare to let go of the two treasures that had seen the light. Therefore, he raised the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass and the Buddhist treasure relics on the pagoda of Jinguang Temple.

In this life, without the help of Erlang God, the Nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass did not see the light, so Wukong and Zhou Ding were taken advantage of.

In addition, there are three rhino spirits from Jinping Mansion.

In the original book, Wukong also couldn’t beat these three rhinos, so he had to ask Heavenly Court for help, and all the star officials in Heaven will come to help eliminate the rhinoceros. Therefore, the most precious spoils, six rhino horns, were taken away by the Jade Emperor four.

Maybe some friends asked: If you can’t take this, you can’t take that either. How can Wukong capture the spoils of those monsters?

Let's put it this way, since Wukong joined the Westward Journey team, all the caves burned by Wukong along the way were captured by Wukong as trophies.

The first cave where the loot is obtained is the second monster with no background that Wukong encountered after embarking on the Westward Journey: the scorpion spirit in the Pipa Cave of Poison Enemy Mountain.

It was explained in the original book: After the death of the scorpion spirit, Wukong dismissed the servants in the Pipa Cave, and then set fire to the Pipa Cave.

If it is not to cover up the traces of seizure, why set fire to the hole?

Some friends may have asked: "How come the second monster with no background loots the loot, what about the first monster with no background?"

After Wukong set foot on the Journey to the West, the first monster he encountered without a background cannot be called a "one", but a "group".This group of monsters with no background is exactly Che Chiguo's tiger power, deer power, and sheep power.

There is a reason Wukong didn't burn down their mansion:
For one thing, after the defeat of the three of Huli, King Chechi would definitely search their Imperial Teacher's Mansion, and it would not be Wukong's turn to seize the loot.

Secondly, the Sanyao family lives in Chechi City, and there are many servants at home. Wukong cannot set fire without any scruples.

Three times, the home of the Three Demons is a Taoist temple, in which the saints of the Sanqing are enshrined.

The most important thing is: the cultivation level of these three monsters is not high, and they don't have any good things at home. It is not worth Wukong's trouble for them.

The second monster that Wukong captured was the Yellow-browed King of Xiaoleiyin Temple.

The Yellow-browed King is the boy of Maitreya Buddha, and it stands to reason that Wukong should give face.

However, Maitreya Buddha's status in Buddhism is very embarrassing. Although he is a Buddha, he is a Buddha who has been ignored by the Tathagata.

As mentioned above, Maitreya Buddha has the heart to compete for the position of Buddha. Therefore, he and Buddha Tathagata are not only not in the same faction, but also have a hostile relationship.

The matter of learning the scriptures is arranged by the Tathagata alone, and Wukong and others are also regarded as Tathagata's men, so Wukong does not need to give Maitreya face, and even Wukong feels that there may be unexpected benefits if he does not give Maitreya face.

Therefore, after Maitreya Buddha took Huang Mei away, Wukong and others not only seized Huang Mei's property, but also set fire to Huang Mei's cave.
