A group of monsters in The Journey to the West heard that eating the Tang priest's meat can make them live forever, so they tried their best to catch the Tang priest, but the result was the same. Even if they caught it, they still couldn't eat it. In the end, none of the monsters in The Journey to the West ate the Tang monk's meat, even the Tathagata Buddha's close uncle, Dapeng with golden wings, failed to succeed. In the original text, Golden Winged Dapeng didn't say that he had eaten Tangseng meat, but thought that Wu Xianyun was the teacher who had eaten Tangseng meat.
Mr. Wu Xianyun mainly studies classical literature, and has studied The Journey to the West, The Water Margin, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and other works. The reason why he thinks that Dapeng with Golden Wings has eaten Tangseng meat is that Dapeng with Golden Wings knows how to eat Tangseng meat. No matter what the Tathagata Buddha does, he can be ranked as a friend or an old friend of Zhenyuanzi. If the Tathagata Buddha had two disciples long ago, he could not have known it until 511 years ago.
And this time is exactly one hundred years after the Monkey King was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain. Don't listen to the Monkey King's saying that he was crushed for 511 years, but in fact he was crushed for 631 years. Because, according to Liu Boqin, an Orion in the two boundary mountains, it was when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty that the monkey was a god, and it happened to be six hundred and thirty years in the thirteenth year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty! At this point in time, it is right to exercise into human form with golden cicada and be accepted as a second disciple by Buddha.
The head of the Tathagata is in a hurry. Although his own King Kong is indestructible, what can he do with the four great bodhisattvas, the Eight donkey kong, the Five Hundred Arhats, the Three Thousand Jiedi, the monks, the Youpo and other people who are yelling at him? So the Tathagata thought of an incredible way to let his second apprentice, Jin Chanzi, sacrifice his life for righteousness, steam his body and give it to the big guys to help the organization survive the disaster and the crisis.
In The Journey to the West, there is such a monster who has made some extremely specific research on the eating method of Tang monk's meat, namely, the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge, the king of Lion Camel Kingdom-Dapeng Golden Wing Carving. He is the only foodie in the book who describes the method of eating Tangseng meat as "steaming alive, cloudy day, when eating, you need to feel comfortable and drink alcohol".
Of course, we can't conclude that Dapeng ate the Tang Priest's past life by virtue of this, but in the Westward Journey world, not only Tang Priest's meat was eaten, but also the method of eating children's hearts was put forward by the White Deer Prince in the kingdom of Bhikkhu. The principle of this kind of "food supplement" is the same. Dapeng has a high probability of eating children in this way, and the effect is not bad.
Tell me another thing that may be beside the point. In the Yuan Zaju Journey to the West, Friar Sand really ate the first nine lives of Tang Priest, and the nine skeletons hanging around his neck were really the heads of Tang Priest's previous lives. In the Journey to the West, the setting of the nine-skull necklace was preserved, but the owner's identity of the skull was blurred, and it was indeed the golden cicada of the first nine generations. So, I don't know about others. General Juan Lian, who has been expelled from the immortal family, actually lived more than 511 years by eating a few Buddhist scriptures.
