Today, the small editor of China story network has prepared for you: the article about the Dragon King of the Jing River in Wei zhengmeng. Please come and have a look!
In the journey to the west, the Dragon King of Jinghe River was beheaded by Wei zhengmeng because of his fighting spirit and failed to rain according to the Jade Emperor’s will, which offended the heaven. Why does Tianting want a mortal to behead the Dragon King of Jinghe River? In fact, all of these are doomed.
Let’s first understand the general course of the incident. At that time, there was a fisherman who could drop a lot of fish every day. After hearing this, the Dragon King of Jinghe River was very unhappy. He thought that if he continued to fight like this, he would kill all the fish and shrimp in his River sooner or later. So he sent people to inquire about the news and learned that all these were instructed by a diviner.
The fortune teller would tell the fisherman every day that he would catch a lot of fish there today. The fisherman did what he said, and sure enough, he harvested a lot every day. In order to repay the fortune teller, he would send him a goldfish every day.
The Dragon King of Jinghe River found a fortune teller and asked him to calculate the rainfall of tomorrow. The fortune teller told about the rainfall of tomorrow. The Dragon King laughed to himself that he was responsible for the rainfall and did not know anything about it. A fortune teller unexpectedly knew about it, but unfortunately, he was right.
As soon as he got back, the Jade Emperor ordered him to rain in Chang’an City tomorrow. The time and count were exactly the same as the diviner said. In order to win the bet, the Dragon King of Jinghe changed the points and time without authorization.
In doing so, he committed a crime of heaven, and the heavenly court asked Wei Zheng to behead him. The Dragon King of Jinghe knew that he was doomed to death. He asked the diviner to save his life. The diviner showed him a way to ask Li Shimin, the king of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin agreed to save him. On the day when he killed the Dragon King, he deliberately asked Wei Zheng to play chess, which delayed his time. However, Wei Zheng pretended to be asleep while playing chess and killed the Dragon King in his dream.
After the death of the Dragon King, he blamed Li Shimin. He felt that it was because he didn’t take care of himself that he was in a strange place. He constantly harassed and threatened Li Shimin, which made Li Shimin upset and unable to recover from illness. He went to the underworld. Fortunately, Wei Zheng had a friendship with the judge, and asked the judge to ask the king of hell to release Li Shimin, which increased his Yang life for 20 years.
However, it’s not easy for the king of hell to return to the sun. Li Shimin killed many people when he was fighting the world. These people have been staying in the underworld and can’t return their souls. They have added a lot of trouble to Li Shimin’s return to the sun. The judge told Li Shimin that after he returned, he would hold a land and water meeting to save the souls.
After Li Shimin returned to Yangjian, he began to prepare for the meeting. To hold the transcendental meeting, we need eminent monks. After selection, Li Shimin chose Tang monk. At this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared. She told Li Shimin that the Buddhist scriptures of the Tang Dynasty were all Mahayana teachings, which were not enough to surpass the spirits of the dead. To reincarnate the wronged souls, the Mahayana three Zang Dharma scriptures were needed, and the Mahayana three Zang Dharma scriptures were only available in Lingshan, and then there was the matter of getting scriptures.
Seeing here, we understand that the previous stories are all for the Tang monk to get scriptures. Everything is set up. Every character and thing in the story are secretly operated by the Buddhist world for a purpose.
There is an important figure in the story, which is easy to be ignored by people. He is a fortune teller. Before the Jade Emperor gives an order, he can know the number and time of rain. When the dragon king asks him to settle accounts, he can also recognize at a glance that the person standing in front of him is the Dragon King of Jinghe River. It can be seen that he is an unusual person.
When the Dragon King knew that he was in danger, and asked him to show him a way to live, he asked the Dragon King to find Li Shimin. We know that the Dragon King was killed because he had committed the heavenly commandments. It was the heavenly court that killed him. Li Shimin and Wei Zheng were mortals and could not save him at all. The fortune teller asked him to find Li Shimin, not to save him, but to make the Dragon King hate Li Shimin.
Who is this fortune teller? The book says he is yuan Tiangang’s uncle. In the journey to the west, Yuan Tiangang served as the supervisor of the Qin Dynasty. It can be seen that his uncle is not a layman. Why did he go to the streets of Chang’an to do divination? And the reward is just a goldfish. It’s not hard to guess that all this was planned behind the scenes.
When Li Shimin was preparing to open the waterway meeting, Guanyin Bodhisattva personally appeared to enlighten him that he needed to go to Lingshan to seek the Mahayana Tripitaka Sutra in order to transcend the spirits of the dead. By this time, we understood that the Buddhist community planned this event precisely for the purpose of getting the Sutra.
