After some twists and turns, Monkey was captured alive and sentenced to death by the Jade Emperor. Everything has a cause and effect, so a riot came. But why didn't the Queen Mother invite the Monkey King? Why did the Jade Emperor have a whim to send Monkey Brother to guard the "Flat Peach Garden"?
Speaking of "Flat Peach Festival", it is actually the annual birthday of the Queen Mother of the West, which falls on the third day of March every year. On this day, the Queen Mother of the West held a grand banquet, with flat peaches as the staple food, and immortals from all walks of life came to celebrate her birthday, so it was called "Flat Peach Festival". First of all, it is stated that the Queen Mother of the West and the Jade Emperor have the same status in the Three Realms. They are not husband and wife, and the Queen Mother of the West is the most respected in the Heavenly Palace.
In fact, in the ancient myths and legends of China, the Queen Mother of the West was just a fairy leader in the Western Regions. Didn't the ancient emperors and alchemists always think about immortality? So it is widely rumored that there is an elixir of life in Yaochi Temple, the Queen Mother of the West, but this elixir has become a flat peach in Yaochi. The so-called Yaochi is the Tianchi Lake in the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions. There are several Tianchi in China, and the Yaochi of the Queen Mother of the West should refer to the Tianchi in the Western Regions.
In the Journey to the West, the status of the Empress Dowager can be equal to that of the Jade Emperor. The immortals invited for her birthday also take "Yaochi Peach" as their staple food. Scholars personally think that people below the pick of the golden fairy are not eligible to participate, and all sacrifices are like the barefoot fairy. You know, this "Yaochi Zhi Tao" is not free. You must get a gift for this. Look at our monkey brother who just went to heaven and was fooled into one. " Is it higher to keep "Flat Peach Garden" than to keep "Bi"?
Of course, this is the official position theory. If you really don't talk about strength, the Monkey King and the Monkey King are not hollow names. His body is sanctified, especially by a demon race. This strength is equivalent to picking Jin Xian. It's not that he hasn't heard of the Monkey King's fame, but the Monkey King is only a newcomer and has no real power. This position is really a little low in Tiangong. Well, if you don't invite him, the Monkey King probably won't want to go, but it just happened. Monkeys were sent by the Jade Emperor to guard the Flat Peach Garden. When he entered the garden, he just wanted to pick a peach to quench his thirst. He also ran out of a piece of land to be a tour guide. He said: Small peach trees have been cooked for 3,000 years, and it is light for people to exercise after eating them, which is the way to become immortal; Ordinary peach trees are only cooked once in 6000 years. When people eat them, they soar in the daytime and live forever. The best food is cooked in 9000. People eat it with heaven and earth, with the sun and the moon. Monkey scratched his heart and wanted to try something fresh. He was not allowed to eat after a severe warning. After the seven fairies came to pick the flat peaches, they got the news that the Queen Mother of the West would not attend the flat peach festival. The seven fairies laughed, but Monkey was not angry. Although Brother Monkey didn't know much about the world, after this incident, Brother Monkey didn't immediately understand that these guys were watching monkey shows in heaven.
As a result, this "Flat Peach Festival" was not turned upside down by the Monkey King. Even if it was delicious, at least they ate small flat peaches. It seems that there is no difference between cloud nine and the world. The Monkey King therefore has no real power, and his status is still low, so he is looked down upon by the Queen Mother of the West. Therefore, he was not invited to attend the Flat Peach Festival. But think about it carefully, if the Monkey King hadn't guarded the Flat Peach Garden, there wouldn't have been so much. The flat peaches in the flat peach garden are the most horrible. Think about the division of power between the jade emperor and the heavenly mother in the three realms, and add an old gentleman. Who will benefit the most in the end?
In the original Journey to the West, this time it is called "The Great Sage of Peach Blossoms steals Dan, and fights against the Heaven to catch monsters". Finally, Monkey Brother Dan woke up after drinking and thought, "No, no! This disaster is bigger than the sky. If you disturb the Jade Emperor, your life will be in jeopardy. Go, go, go. It is better to go to the lower world to be king! " You are a demon monkey, so you have to drink the jade emperor's foot washing water. Alas, the Monkey King, the Monkey King, unconsciously became the pawn of the Jade Emperor. There is a two-part allegorical saying: the Monkey King went to the Flat Peach Club-he broke in by himself, and the Jade Emperor is the helm of the Three Realms!
