There is an interesting phenomenon during the pilgrimage. Every time when encountering difficulties, Sun Wukong always goes to heaven to send reinforcements, but Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng almost never move reinforcements.
It’s not difficult to understand why Zhu Bajie doesn’t go to heaven to move reinforcements. He has always liked to cheat and play tricks. Naturally, he doesn’t want to do something like moving reinforcements, which consumes connections and is laborious.
In fact, let alone moving thousands of miles to rescue soldiers, even if he is just asked to explore the way, sometimes he will be full of complaints.
In the original Pingding Mountain, when Sun Wukong asked Zhu Bajie to patrol the mountain and explore the way, he was reluctant. In the end, it was Tang Monk who persuaded him in person before he agreed glumly.
didn't go very far. He started to get angry again and cursed. Even Tang Monk didn't spare him, "Weak old monk, he's a naughty Bi Ma Wen ." Sha Monk didn't offend him, but he also scolded him, "Weak-looking Sha Monk , you are all at ease here, teasing me, an old pig, to stagger you."
Sha Seng is completely different from Zhu Bajie. During the journey of learning, he has always been diligent and hardworking, so why does he never go to heaven to bring in reinforcements?
Some people think that Sha Monk's popularity in heaven was too poor and he could not find helpers, so he did not send reinforcements.
Is Sha Seng really unpopular? In fact, he may be more popular than Sun Wukong.
Sha Monk once served as the general of the Heavenly Curtain? What is the position of the general who rolls the curtain?
Some people think that although the general of the rolling curtain has a great name, he is actually just a servant of the rolling curtain next to the Jade Emperor. He is only named the number one general because he serves the ninety-five nobles of the three realms.
This statement is of course not in line with the original work. According to Sha Seng's self-report -
"I am the first to escort him when he comes and go, and I follow him when he comes in and out", which shows that he is responsible for protecting the safety of the Jade Emperor.
"I am honored in the Nantian Gate, and I am honored in front of the Lingxiao Palace." This shows that Sha Monk has a high status and is a senior general in the heaven.
Who are the senior generals who protect the Jade Emperor? Isn't he the commander-in-chief of the Heavenly Guards? In this case, as a high-ranking and famous person next to the Jade Emperor, how could Sha Seng be so unpopular? People who befriend him can line up from Lingxiao Palace to Nantianmen.
Some people will probably say that Sha Monk may have had a wide network of contacts when he was the general of the Shroud Roller, but now that he has been demoted to the mortal world, he may have been gone long ago.
The demotion of Sha Monk will indeed be affected by his connections, but I am afraid that it does not conform to the original work. You must know that when Sha Monk was punished by the Jade Emperor, he had been dismissed from all positions and was sentenced to death by the Jade Emperor, but he still Barefoot Immortal interceded for him, so he was given a lighter sentence and exiled to Liusha River.
From this point of view, Sha Monk's connections are obviously stronger than that of Sun Wukong. When Sun Wukong was convicted, no one among the immortals in heaven interceded for him.
The real reason why Sha Monk never went to heaven to bring in reinforcements may be related to the fact that he offended a certain great god in heaven.
In the original story of Che Chi Kingdom, Sha Monk, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie broke into Sanqing Hall, pretending to be Sanqing, and teased Che Chi Kingdom's three demons. Sha Monk pretended to be Lingbao Tianzun. Sha Monk not only pretended to be Lingbao Tianzun, but also peed and gave it as holy water to the three demons of Chechi Kingdom. Just pretending to be Lingbao Tianzun, but still being so rude, is this disrespectful to Lingbao Tianzun?
Sha Monk was probably worried that he would be held accountable by Lingbao Tianzun for being disrespectful if he went to heaven to bring reinforcements, so he never went to heaven to bring reinforcements. What do you think?
