Thrushmaru's parents died when he was young. He was adopted by the village chief and received ninja training in Ishu Shiyin Village.As a result of learning killing techniques at an early age, many children died during the practice.Those ninjas who survive, such as Thrushmaru, will gain physical fitness beyond ordinary people, and are known as the strongest ninja in Shiyin Village - Garan's Thrushmaru.
Thrush Maru once married the village chief's daughter and wanted to leave the village, but he was betrayed, arrested and sentenced to death during his last mission.However, Huameiwan, who seemed willing to die on the surface, unconsciously used his own power to protect himself when faced with executions such as beheading, burning, splitting cattle, and boiling in a cauldron, making the execution impossible..
The supervisor in charge of the execution, Yamada Asaemon Sakiri, was a royal sword tester from Edo.His family has been a beheading executioner for generations.Only Zuoqie saw through Thrushmaru's thoughts and believed that because he loved his wife so much, he could not truly die calmly.What Zuoqie is looking for is this kind of person with the will to survive and special skills.
Zuoqie showed the official acquittal issued by the shogunate and told Thrushmaru that as long as he signed this document, no one from the Fongfu Office or the Ninja Village could do anything to him again.The only condition is to find the elixir of immortality. If he can return successfully, he can be reunited with his wife.
The protagonist, Thrushmaru, was ordered to die for betraying his master.
But no matter whether he was struck with a knife or burned with fire, he could not be harmed at all, as if he had an indestructible body.
The plot here draws on the scene in Journey to the West where Sun Wukong was executed after causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace.
Animation《Havoc in Heaven》
If you observe carefully, you will find that there are many similarities between "Hell Music" and "Journey to the West".
For example, -Journey to the West- is to go to the Western Heaven to obtain Buddhist scriptures, while -Hell Joy- is to go to the Immortal Island to obtain the elixir of immortality.
Whether it is seeking scriptures or medicine, it is essentially to consolidate the position of the oppressors at the top and strengthen the control and exploitation of the civilians at the bottom.
Tang Monk went to the West to obtain scriptures, which was equivalent to obtaining an authoritative certificate issued by the Buddhist system.
When he returns to the Tang Dynasty after studying scriptures, he can use these authoritative scriptures to brainwash the civilians and make them more obedient to Buddhist culture.
As the leader and disseminator of the Buddhist system, he can naturally enjoy the people's worship and worship...
For Tang Seng, “Learning Scriptures” and “Pursuing All Living Beings” are just a cover. Using authoritative words to harvest and control enough heads is his real purpose.
The ruler in Hell Music pursues the elixir of life, ostensibly to prolong his own life, but actually to prolong the life of the ruling power he represents.
In other words, the so-called elixir of life is a metaphor.
It is a metaphor for the actual ruling class, which will do whatever it takes to oppress the people at the bottom for a longer period of time.
In addition, the rulers in Journey to the West have already achieved “immortality” because they are all gods.
Tathagata Buddha represents Buddhism; Jade Emperor represents Confucianism and Taoism.They are referred to as Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and they are the three most representative ruling forces in Chinese history.
And “Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism” were “deified”, and their “immortality” was not just “deification” and “immortality” in the literal sense.
Rather, they are able to travel through time and have indelible control and influence on the thinking of every generation of Chinese (including Japanese).
Just like it is already the 21st century, Buddhist culture and Confucian culture are still the two more mainstream cultures in East Asia. Maybe Taoist culture is somewhat declining now...
