Chapter 434 [Skipable] A brief discussion of the Golden-winged Dapeng and the Peng Demon King

[No inspiration, two chapters too much, sorry! 】

The story is easy to understand, fantasy and humorous, and suitable for all ages, so it has naturally become a family book suitable for all ages, and "Journey to the West" shows this work of art more vividly to the public's vision.

However, some people are curious as to why the two brothers Sun Wukong and Dapeng turned against each other and why they did not remember their former sworn friends. In fact, this Dapeng is not the other Dapeng.

1. Sun Wukong fights against Shituoling. I believe that "Journey to the West", one of the four most popular classics, is a must-read for almost everyone. There are very few people who have not read this classic. Even if you have not read the original text, you must have read it.

Several episodes of the TV series. Many teenagers today also grew up under the influence of Journey to the West.

Compared with several other famous works, it does not have the endless love between children and daughters in "A Dream of Red Mansions", nor the magnificent war scenes and scheming among various factions in "Water Margin" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

I believe that everyone will be deeply impressed by the battle between Tang Sanzang’s master and his disciples at Shituoling. The plot has ups and downs, which also makes it the most difficult part of the journey to learn the scriptures. Among them, Dapeng, the youngest of the three demons, is even more important.

Relying on his relationship with Tathagata Buddha, he can cover the sky with one hand and become an insurmountable obstacle for Sun Wukong to rescue his master.

Although it is not mentioned in the TV series, in Wu Chengen's original work, it is clearly written that this Dapeng demon was once a sworn brother to Sun Wukong five hundred years ago, and they often drank and had fun with him in Huaguo Mountain.

But in this part of Shituoling, when Sun Wukong and Dapeng met, there was no cliché at all, but a direct fight. Just because the Golden-winged Dapeng robbed Tang Sanzang, the Golden-winged Dapeng was an enemy in the eyes of the monkeys.

existence. Therefore, when they met, they vowed to fight to the death. There was no leisure and elegance in becoming sworn brothers to "reminisce about old friendships".

As an old brother of Sun Wukong, five hundred years later, why did Dapeng frequently set up obstacles in the way of the four masters and disciples to learn the scriptures? Has both of them lost their memory? Where has the brotherhood gone?

2. Memories: Five hundred years ago, Dapeng and Sun Wukong became sworn sworn friends. The fourth chapter of the original text has already described this episode in detail: Sun Wukong returned from studying martial arts with his master.

Huaguoshan proclaimed himself the Monkey King of Heaven, seized the treasure of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, and was summoned by Heaven to be named Bima Wen.

However, he was repeatedly ostracized and displeased and made trouble in the Heavenly Palace. None of the gods and immortals were his match. They were helpless against this monkey with great magical powers. Even the Jade Emperor, who was in charge of the three realms, was somewhat afraid of him.

But just because Sun Wukong performed this unscrupulous feat in the heaven, he soon won a huge reputation in the mortal world. As his reputation skyrocketed, many monsters from the mortal world came to visit. In the case of the Bull Demon King,

The six demon kings, including the Dragon Demon King and the Dapeng Demon King, had heard about the great sage Qitian for a long time, so they came to the Water Curtain Cave one after another and became brothers with different surnames from Sun Wukong.

It was at this time that the legendary Demon King Dapeng met Sun Wukong. In the original work, he called himself the Great Sage Huntian. According to the description in the original work, together with Sun Wukong, these seven sworn monsters passed through the Water Curtain Cave together.

It was a very beautiful day.

During that time, they spent their free time drinking, chatting, competing in martial arts, eating, drinking and having fun. The brothers talked, laughed, and teased each other, and their relationship grew day by day. This period was considered the happiest and most leisurely time for Sun Wukong before he was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain.

.

Looking back five hundred years later, the Demon King Dapeng is determined to eat his sworn brother master, and seems to not recognize Sun Wukong, a brother with a different surname at all. Don’t you remember the time when we drank and had fun together?

3. Answer: Time has passed, and it turns out that this Dapeng is not that Dapeng. The reason why the Dapeng in Shituoling does not recognize Sun Wukong is because behind this relationship, there is an oolong that has been misinterpreted by the audience and readers. Wu Chengen in the original work

The description of the Dapeng monster in Shituoling emphasizes that it is a golden-winged Dapong with great magical powers, which is not the same Dapeng bird that Sun Wukong worshiped.

Because they are both Dapeng, many readers and viewers confuse the Peng Demon King who was previously sworn to the monkey with the golden-winged Dapoc from Shituoling. Although these two people are from the same clan, they are not the same one.

In the original work, Taibai Jinxing also revealed the identity of the Golden-winged Dapeng to Sun Wukong. It was said that the phoenix gave birth to a peacock and a Dapeng. The peacock accidentally swallowed the Tathagata Buddha, and was later named the Buddha Mother by the Tathagata Buddha and the Peacock Daming King.

Buddha.

Judging from this relationship, the Golden-winged Dapeng can be regarded as the uncle of Tathagata Buddha. This is also a close connection between the Golden-winged Dapeng and the Tathagata Buddha in the West. By relying on this relationship with the Tathagata Buddha, he can act unscrupulously in the human world. That's why

It is said that the Golden-winged Dapeng is different from ordinary monsters and is a monster with an identity.

So how high is the status of this golden-winged roc that only has an identity? The author Wu Chengen once described his status in detail, saying that as long as the golden-winged roc flies to Lingshan, five hundred Arhats in the Western Heaven will go out to greet him.

Before the tributes are delivered to Tathagata Buddha, they must first pass through the mouth of the golden-winged roc. This shows how strong his background is.

It can be seen from this that the golden-winged roc on Shituoling Ridge has a very high status, even the gods are a little afraid of it. The previous demon roc in Huaguo Mountain was just a little nameless demon, with neither

There is no identity or background. That’s why it is said that these two Dapeng are not the same thing at all. The similarity is that they are both Dapeng demons.

Some people have also analyzed that of the two Dapeng, one is the person who worshiped Sun Wukong back then. The other is called the Dapeng Eagle, which is the one who claims to be the king of Shituoling. As we all know, the Dapeng and the bird are both different in size and strength.

They are all very different. The demon cultivated by the eagle is much stronger than the demon cultivated by the bird. That's why Sun Wukong fought hard with the Dapeng eagle, and finally turned to Tathagata Buddha for help.

The above analysis of Dapeng can exactly explain why Sun Wukong went to war without even greeting Dapeng after meeting with Dapeng in Shituoling. When Sun Wukong and his brother Niu Demon King met again, they formed an obvious relationship between "eldest brother" and "virtuous brother".

Comparison. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that this golden-winged roc and Sun Wukong cannot fight together. They do not know each other.

Fourth, extended thoughts: It’s confusing, this Wukong is not the other Wukong? There is another theory that is even more brain-burning, that is, since the emergence of the six-eared macaque, the "conspiracy theory" extended in the "True and False Monkey King" section,

This is also the reason why the audience has been divided over this part over the years. Both parties have their own opinions and have reasonable arguments.

Because some readers and viewers said after reading Journey to the West that after the six-eared macaque pretended to be Sun Wukong, even though the six-eared macaque was surrendered by Buddha and destroyed by Sun Wukong, the Sun Wukong who returned to Tang Sanzang was obviously weakened

, his fighting skills are 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 personality.

If you look at the subsequent stories with this perspective, you will feel that Sun Wukong has become more mellow in the various hardships he encountered after returning from the "True and False Monkey King" story. Unlike before, he was single-minded.

Compared with the stubborn monkey who never looked back, he now encounters some monsters that are more difficult to deal with and no longer solves problems by himself.

Instead, he will directly somersault to the heaven to seek help directly, or directly come to the Tathagata Buddha in the Western Heaven or the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea to seek help. Knowing that in difficulties and dangers, you must not only rely on yourself, but also rely on the strength of others.
