Golden cicada reincarnation fortune telling

The reason why the first nine generations of golden cicadas were planted in Liushahe was because the first nine generations were eaten by Friar Sand. To put it bluntly, it was the Jade Emperor who deliberately prevented Jin Chan from learning the scriptures. After all, if the plan to learn from the scriptures is successful, the territory of Buddhism will expand, which is not a good thing for Taoism.

The reason why the Tathagata Buddha plans to learn from the scriptures is actually to expand his Buddhist territory and influence. In the original work, the so-called "eighty-one difficulty" actually began to be calculated from the first time the golden cicada hatched. For Tathagata, it is safest to let his two disciples go to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures, because the magic of the golden cicada is particularly high. If any monsters dare to embarrass them along the way, they can easily solve them, which is actually cheating. But at this time, in order to expand his Buddhist territory, the Tathagata simply could not control cheating.

As the Lord of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor could naturally see that something was fishy, so he sent a general in confinement to supervise them. In the original book, the general in confinement was demoted to the lower bound because he broke a cup, which is actually a bit ridiculous. It's just a glass lamp. There is no need to demote an open general to the mortal world, so the only explanation is that the demotion to the mortal world is false and the probation team is real.

Therefore, when Jin Chan came to Liusha River before IX, he didn't dare to show his magical power at all, otherwise the Jade Emperor would know their cheating plan and had to be swallowed up by the general in confinement. Therefore, at this time, the Tathagata Buddha saw that the situation was wrong, so he could only let Guanyin Bodhisattva make a detailed plan to learn from the scriptures and complete it step by step. In order to make all parties feel more at ease, Guanyin Bodhisattva also incorporated the confined general into the Buddhist scriptures team, and actually accepted the supervision of heaven in disguise, so that the Buddhist scriptures plan could be carried out smoothly.
