In the novel "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong's life experience is quite legendary. He was born from the fairy stone since the founding of the world; he was later worshiped as the "Monkey King" by the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain, and became a After hundreds of years as the Monkey King, she finally got bored. In order to find a way to live forever, she went to Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai, Hezhou, Xiniu, where she worshiped Patriarch Bodhi in Xianyue Sanxing Cave as her teacher, and learned the way of immortality, the transformation of earth evil spirits, and somersault clouds, etc. Later, he was expelled from the disciples by Patriarch Bodhi for showing off his skills.
After Sun Wukong learned martial arts on his own and returned to the mountains, he defeated the Demon King and got a big sword. He also came to the country from Ao and used his magic power to obtain a large number of weapons and distributed them to the monkeys, but none of the weapons were easy to use. In order to find a suitable weapon, he made a fuss in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, and finally found the Ruyi Golden Cudgel. The other Dragon Kings of the Three Seas presented him with a purple gold crown with phoenix wings, a chain of gold armor, and lotus silk walking cloud shoes as a robe. He also became brothers with different surnames such as the Bull Demon King, the Dragon Demon King, and the Peng Demon King, which are the so-called "Seven Saints".
When Sun Wukong was 342 years old, Sun Wukong was drinking with six other sworn brothers. While he was drinking, the seducer from the underworld appeared. He took a There was a written document with the three characters "Sun Wukong" on it, so he couldn't tell the difference at close range, so he put a rope on it and took away Sun Wukong's soul. And it's also strange. Although Sun Wukong at this time is not as powerful as when he was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he is still very strong.
Then why was Sun Wukong taken away by the mediocre Soul Seducer without any resistance? In fact, this is mainly related to the treasure of the underworld - the book of life and death; this book of life and death, also known as the "book of life and death", is one of the three great books of heaven, earth and man (namely, "Book of Heaven and Gods", "Book of Mountains and Seas", "Book of Life and Death" "Book"), it is said that the Three Books of Heaven, Earth and Man were transformed from the three-petal lotus of the Creation Green Lotus. It has great effects and is no less effective than other top magic weapons.
The first thing that appeared was the Heavenly Book of Gods, which was owned by Yuanshi Tianzun; the second thing that appeared was the Earthly Book of Mountains and Seas, but it was acquired by Zhen Yuanzi at some unknown time; and the last one was the Human Book of Life and Death, which The Book of Life and Death appeared during the Lich War; because the souls of the dead had nowhere to return and had to wander in the world, Empress Houtu, one of the twelve ancestral witches, made a great wish to reincarnate, and the Book of Life and Death also landed at this time. All owned by Tu Niangniang.
But Empress Houtu has already reincarnated, so this book of life and death can only be handed over to others for use. Then Tu Niangniang chose the judge. Although this is just a small book of life and death, it can find out everyone's merits and past history, and can go back to 99 lives; and the book of life and death also directly controls people's life and death. Even the Daluo Jinxian cannot escape when his death date is set. Its functions are so powerful that even the most powerful magic weapons and magic spells in the sky and on earth cannot escape it.
Furthermore, the scope and distance of the book of life and death are infinite. There is no need to meet. As long as there is a name and birth date, it can kill someone. And from the surface, the cause of death of the deceased can be any kind of situation. There will be no suspicion on the owner of the Book of Life and Death. Of course, this does not mean that it is absolutely impossible to escape from the book of life and death. As long as you kill the three corpses and escape from reincarnation, it is enough. But how many powerful people in the world can do it? Even the Jade Emperor couldn't do it. He experienced more than 120,000 catastrophes, and every time he experienced a catastrophe, he was reincarnated.
Only the seven Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals, including Yuanshi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, and Tongtian Cult Leader, can truly reach the immortal level. Sun Wukong has obviously not reached such a point, even if he is named After defeating the Buddha in a battle, one does not actually escape from the control of the book of life and death. The so-called immortality is only within a calamity; it is just that after reincarnation, there is a great chance to awaken the memory, and this is The rules of heaven.
