Thirteenth time: Tang Priest and several followers rode westbound, and suddenly stumbled when passing through Shuangcha Ridge. The three of them even fell into the pit and were captured alive by tiger demon's men. The demon kings discussed how to eat, but because of Shan Jun's words, Tang Priest stayed and ate all the rest. The Tang Priest was startled. It was an old man who saved the Tang Priest. Later, Tang Priest learned that this man was a white Venus.
Tang Priest is on his way again. On the way, he met an Orion and killed the tiger who had always wanted to eat Tang Priest. The Tang Priest came to Orion's house and recited the scriptures for his dead father, which was thanked by everyone. When I reached the two boundary mountains, I suddenly heard shouts like thunder: "My master is here!" ?
The 14th time: The caller was the Monkey King. Wukong told the Tang Priest that he was the Great Sage of the Monkey who made trouble in the Heaven 500 years ago, but he was crushed here by the Buddha because he committed the crime of falling to the throne. Wukong begged Tang Priest to save him. After coming out, I worshipped Tang Priest as my teacher. On the way, I met a tiger. Wukong killed him and put it on.
In the evening, the master and apprentice came to a yard of this house to have a rest. Unexpectedly, he met a robber. After Wukong killed them with a stick, the Tang Priest was very angry and blamed Wukong. Wukong is reluctant to leave the Tang Priest. Guanyin put a spell on Tang Priest, and Wukong accepted the advice of the Dragon King and came back to protect Tang Priest. He cast a spell to show that he would never break his master's promise again.
Ideological content:
The "Heavenly Palace" in the novel reflects the people's resistance in China feudal society through fairy tales. Of course, fantasy novel's reflection of reality has its own characteristics, which is different from ordinary literary works that directly reflect real life.
The rebels in the "Tiangong" erected the banner of "the Monkey King" and put forward the slogan "The emperors take turns to do it and come to my house next year". One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers will flee, and the rule of the Heavenly Palace is so shaky that the Jade Emperor has to ask for help. These fictional and fantasy plots are all based on the peasant uprising and peasant war in reality.
If there were not too many large-scale peasant uprisings and peasant wars in history, the plot of "Make a scene in Heaven" could not be as bold as imagined, and the image of the Monkey King, a rebel, could not be so brilliant. "Making Heaven" ended in the Monkey King's failure, which was related to the author's influence on feudal orthodoxy to some extent.
At the same time, it must be pointed out that the Monkey King's subjugation at the foot of Wuxing Mountain and his subsequent conversion to Buddhism are also inevitable requirements for the development of the plot. Obviously, the Monkey King on Huaguoshan will never give up his life as a king for no reason to help Tang Priest learn from the West. Without this arrangement, he will not be able to transition to the following Buddhist story.
Moreover, the basic outline of The Journey to the West was formed long before Wu Cheng'en, so it is difficult for the author to make fundamental changes in this key place.
