Jin Chanzi and Red Boy who are Guanyin s apprentices

The red boy was accepted as an apprentice by Guanyin Master, the good wealth boy, the golden cicada or the golden cicada elder, is the name of Tang Sanzang's previous life, the golden cicada is the second apprentice of Sakyamuni, and it was written in the first chapter of Journey to the West.

According to Journey to the West, it should be the one called Red Child.

The red boy is Guanyin's apprentice, and the golden cicada is Rulai's apprentice.

In the autumn of 627 AD, the first year of Tang Zhenguan, 28-year-old Tang Xuanzang quietly left Chang'an and began his westward journey to India to get Buddhist scriptures. He personally wrote down the records and observations of this trip - "The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" - he passed through 110 countries, heard about 28 countries, and made a detailed record of Indian society and history, which has extremely high historical value and Buddhist theory and academic value. The book is highly valued in India, and 1,300 years after Xuanzang learned the scriptures, Indian archaeologists excavated the ruins of Nalanda Temple based on his records, and Indian historians reconstructed the history of India based on the book.

Wu Chengen of the Ming Dynasty compiled and fictionalized "Journey to the West" from the event of Tang Xuanzang's scriptures, and its historical value and Buddhist theoretical and academic value are far lower than that of "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" written by Xuanzang. Xuanzang is a well-known and fruitful Buddhist monk and scholar at home and abroad. But strangely, the book that has been valued and widely popular in China is "Journey to the West", not "The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty".

This shows that our nation admires fiction and does not worship real things. The time has come for this custom to change.

In the end, the Kinnara Bodhisattva became the Dark Buddha Wutian and was solved by Sun Wukong. Wutian, who had become the Dark Buddha, wanted to attack the first goal to kill all the people in Lingshan, so that he could rule the Three Realms. And at this time, Rulai is also suffering, and he really doesn't have time to educate Wutian personally.

So, this task fell on Sun Wukong.

The eldest apprentice of the Buddha should be Mahakasya, but after the adaptation of Journey to the West, people are more interested in Tang Sanzang, the reincarnation of the second apprentice Jin Chanzi, so the reputation of Jin Chanzi is even louder.

The golden cicada is cultivated by the ancient fierce beast six-winged golden cicada, and there is still a lot of anger in the body, so the Buddha asked the golden cicada to be reincarnated for ten lives to eliminate his anger.
