Chapter 434 [Skipable] Talking about the Golden Winged Roc and the Roc Demon King

[No inspiration, over two chapters, forgive me! 】

The story is easy to understand, fantasy and humorous, suitable for all ages, so it naturally becomes a family book suitable for all ages, and "Journey to the West" presents this artwork in the public's field of vision more vividly.

However, some people are very curious, why the two brothers Sun Wukong and Dapeng turned against each other, why don't they remember the friendship they used to sworn?In fact, this roc is not that roc.

[-]. Monkey King fights against Lion Camel Ridge.I believe that "Journey to the West", one of the four popular masterpieces, is a must-read for almost everyone, and few people have not read this classic masterpiece.Even if you haven't read the original text, you must have watched a few episodes of the TV series.Nowadays, many teenagers also grew up under the influence of Journey to the West.

Compared with several other famous novels, it does not have the love between children and children in "Dream of Red Mansions", and it does not have the magnificent war scenes and the scheming between various factions in "Water Margin" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

I believe everyone will be deeply impressed by the part of Tang Sanzang's master-disciple battle against Lion Camel Ridge. The plot is ups and downs, which also makes it the saddest hurdle in the journey of learning the scriptures.Among them, Dapeng, the youngest among the three demons, relied on his relationship with the Tathagata Buddha to overshadow the sky with one hand, and became an insurmountable obstacle for Monkey King to rescue his master.

Although it is not mentioned in the TV series, in Wu Chengen's original work, it is clearly written that Dapeng Huayao once sworn brothers with Monkey King 500 years ago, and often drank and had fun with him in Huaguo Mountain.

But in the part of Shituoling, when Monkey King and Dapeng met, there was no cliché at all, but a direct fight.Just because the golden-winged roc robbed Tang Sanzang, the golden-winged roc was like an enemy in the eyes of the monkey.Therefore, when they met, they vowed to fight to the death, and there was no leisure and elegance of sworn brothers to "reminisce about old love".

As an old brother who was acquainted with Sun Wukong eight times, 500 years later, why did Dapeng frequently set up obstacles in the way of the four masters and apprentices to learn from the scriptures?Did both of them lose their memory?Where did the brotherhood go?
500. Reminiscence: [-] years ago, Dapeng and Sun Wukong became sworn brothers.As for the episode of this friendship, the fourth chapter in the original text already has a detailed description of this episode: Sun Wukong returned from his master's apprenticeship, proclaimed himself the Monkey King in Huaguo Mountain, and seized the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea. Bao, who was recruited by the heavenly court to be named Bi Mawen.

However, he was repeatedly excluded and displeased and made troubles in the Heavenly Palace.Immortals from all walks of life are no match for him, and they are helpless against this magical monkey. Even the Jade Emperor, who is in charge of the Three Realms, is afraid of him.

But it was because Monkey King performed this unscrupulous feat in the heavens that he soon won a great reputation in the mortal world.As his fame soared, many monsters from the mortal world came to visit him.The six demon kings headed by the Bull Demon King, the Jiao Demon King, the Dapeng Demon King and other six demon kings have long heard the prestige of the Monkey King, and they come to Shuilian Cave admiringly, and become brothers with different surnames with Monkey King.

The legendary Dapeng Demon King met Monkey King at this time.In the original book, he calls himself the Great Sage of Hunting Sky.According to the description in the original book, together with Monkey King, these seven monsters who became brothers lived a very happy life together in Shuilian Cave.

During that time, they chatted and drank together in their spare time, learned martial arts, ate, drank and had fun.The brothers talked and laughed, teased each other, and their feelings grew day by day.This period of time can be regarded as the happiest and leisurely time for Monkey King before he was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain.

Looking back 500 years later, the Dapeng Demon King is determined to eat his brother's master, who seems to have no recognition of Monkey King, a brother with a different surname.Don't you remember the time when we drank and had fun together?
[-]. Answer: Time has passed and circumstances have changed. It turns out that this roc is not that roc.The reason why Dapeng in Shituoling does not recognize Monkey King is because behind this relationship, there is an oolong that is misunderstood by the audience and readers.Wu Cheng'en's description of the roc monster in Shituoling in the original work emphasizes that this is a golden-winged roc with great powers, and it is not the same roc bird that Sun Wukong worshiped.

Because they are all rocs, many readers and viewers confuse the roc king who swore to the monkey before with the golden-winged roc from lion camel ling. Although they are from the same clan, they are not the same one.

In the original book, Taibai Jinxing also revealed the identity of the golden-winged roc to Monkey King.It is said that the Phoenix gave birth to Peacock and Dapeng.The peacock swallowed the Tathagata Buddha by mistake, and was later named the Buddha Mother Peacock Daming King Bodhisattva by the Tathagata Buddha.

Judging from this relationship, the golden-winged roc can be regarded as the uncle of the Tathagata Buddha.This is also a close connection between the golden-winged roc and the Tathagata Buddha of the Western Paradise. With this relationship with the Tathagata Buddha, it is unscrupulous in the world.That's why it is said that the golden-winged roc is different from ordinary monsters, and belongs to a monster with an identity.

Then how high is the status of the golden-winged roc who only has status?The author Wu Cheng'en also described his status in detail, saying that as long as the golden-winged roc flies to Lingshan, all five hundred arhats in the Western Heaven will go out to meet him.The tribute must pass through the mouth of the golden-winged roc before it is sent to the Tathagata Buddha.This shows how strong his background is.

It can be seen from this that the status of the golden-winged roc on Shituo Ridge is very lofty, and even the gods are afraid of it.The Dapeng Demon King who was in Huaguo Mountain before was just a little monster with no identity or background.That's why it is said that these two rocs are not the same thing at all.The similarity lies in that they are all Dapeng transformed into demons.

It was also analyzed that one of the two rocs was a sworn sworn person with Monkey King back then.The other one is named Dapeng Eagle, which is the one that claims to be the king of Shituoling.As we all know, eagles and birds are very different in size and strength, and the demons cultivated by eagles are much stronger than those cultivated by birds.That's why Sun Wukong fought with Dapeng Eagle, and finally turned to Tathagata Buddha for help.

The above analysis of Dapeng can just explain why Sun Wukong and Dapeng from Shituoling met and went to war without even exchanging greetings. contrast.So this golden-winged roc and Monkey King can't fight together, and it should be that the two don't know each other.

[-]. Extended thinking: complicated and confusing, this Wukong is not that Wukong?There is another argument that is even more brain-burning, that is, since the appearance of the six-eared macaque, the "conspiracy theory" has been extended in the part of "True and False Monkey King". Disagreement, the two sides insist on their own views, and both have reasonable rhetoric.

Because some readers and viewers said after watching Journey to the West that after the six-eared macaque pretended to be Monkey King, even though the six-eared macaque was subdued by Buddha and destroyed by Monkey King, the Monkey King who returned to Tang Sanzang was obviously weakened , the battle is not as sharp as before.And he has become more mature and thoughtful than before, which is very different from the previous Great Sage's character.

If you look at the follow-up stories with this kind of perspective, you will feel that after the return of the "True and False Monkey King" story, Monkey King has become more tactful in the various hardships he encountered later.Compared with the previous stubborn monkey who was single-minded and never looked back, now he encounters some monsters that are more difficult to entangle, and no longer relies on his own strength to solve the problem.

Instead, they will go straight to the Heavenly Court in a somersault to ask for help, or they will go directly to the Tathagata Buddha in the West Heaven or the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in the South China Sea for help.Knowing that difficulties and obstacles not only depend on oneself, but also rely on the strength of others.
