However, there was something very strange. When this lion spirit heard that Sun Wukong had come, she was so scared that she wanted them to drive the master and disciple over directly. She was afraid before the battle. Then, she couldn't beat Sun Wukong in a fight. After the fight, she was almost killed. In the end, she admitted defeat!
This was very strange. He, the winner of the Uproar in Heaven, was actually afraid of a loser. This could only mean that his victory was fake, and Sun Wukong's defeat was not real. We'll analyze this later when we have time. If we continue talking about the Lion Camel Kingdom, it might subvert your understanding.
This lion demon had planned to let go of Tang Sanzang and the others from the beginning, but in the end, he wanted to eat them. After many rounds of mental struggle, it was his third brother, Dapeng, who finally made the decision to eat Tang Sanzang.
This was very strange. This lion was Manjushri's mount. Of course, it was definitely not the one from Wuji. He was also a Buddhist. Dapeng was related to Tathagata. They were both high-level members of Buddhism. In the end, they wanted to eat Tang Sanzang's meat.
Let's see how terrifying this roc is. Its sphere of influence is definitely the strongest demon in the entire Journey to the West.
First, from the west to the east, they had to walk through the 800-mile Lion Camel Ridge, and then another 400 miles. It was the capital city of the Kitchen Knife Lion Camel Kingdom, Lion Camel City. They didn't know how wide it was from north to south, but this area was already very terrifying.
When Tang Sanzang went to the West to obtain scriptures, he could directly pass through the prefectures and counties on the way. However, if he reached the capital of a country, he would need to exchange customs documents. When he reached the Kingdom of Lion Camel, it was no exception. He had to go forward to pay a visit to the king and exchange official documents!
How terrifying was this country? Let's take a look at the original description: When Sun Wukong came here, he saw that there was a lot of evil energy in the city. He was shocked and could not get up.”
Qin Yu paused for a moment and continued,""Everyone, pay attention. This is the first time Sun Wukong has been so scared since he was born, whether it was when he caused a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace, when he faced Tathagata, or when he defeated demons and devils. He was so scared that he fell to the ground and couldn't even stand up!”
Everyone gasped when they heard this. This was something that had never been shown in Journey to the West. Everyone had always thought that Sun Wukong was fearless, but now it seemed that they were wrong.
"Inside Lion Camel City, people come and go in clusters. There's not a single living person to be seen.
The demons guarding the door were all wild wolves, the important ones in the palace were all colorful tigers, the important soldiers in the throne room were all white-faced bears, and the demon civil officials who delivered letters were all foxes…
This was a real country. From the king to the small merchants, everyone was a demon. This was a paradise for demons. Even after the end of Journey to the West, the Lion Camel Kingdom was not destroyed!
This was because this demon country was legal. The king on the ground was called Tian Zi. As an agent of the Heavenly Court, he came down to govern the country, so he was recognized by the Heavenly Court.
Five hundred years ago, for some unknown reason, the roc spirit came and ate the king and the civil and military officials of this city. All the men and women in the city were eaten clean, and he seized the country and became the king himself.
Everyone, take note that after this incident, the Jade Emperor, the Lord Laojun, and the Buddha had no objections. Everyone tacitly agreed, which was equivalent to recognition. They knew that after Tang Sanzang and the others left, this country would still exist!
Then what was the identity of this roc? First of all, he was definitely not an immortal. Because he was not organized, he gathered many unorganized demons together to form a demon king.
Therefore, from a certain perspective, the ruler of the immortals was the Jade Emperor, the ruler of Buddhism was the Tathagata, and the ruler of the demons was the Great Peng. He was on the same level as the Jade Emperor and the Tathagata Buddha, and could be called the Demon King!
The Roc Spirit wrote a letter to the Spirit Mountain, and five hundred Aros came to welcome it. One of them went up to the Heavenly Palace, and the eleven great Yao came to welcome it!
When Sun Wukong arrived at the Southern Heavenly Gate, he still had to be polite and carry out a routine announcement. When he arrived at the Spirited Mountain, the Four Great Vajras still had to scold him for being a monkey. From this, one could see how terrifying the status of the Great Roc was!
Therefore, this roc was the most qualified to eat Tang Sanzang.
It seemed that he and Tathagata were demons and Buddhas, but he was still Tathagata's uncle. If he ate Tang Sanzang, at most, he would send another person to learn the scriptures, or at worst, he would be subdued and become the " Dapeng Buddha."
This was not without basis. The powerful demons along the way would not be punished. Instead, they would be directly organized by the demons and become the right fruit. On the contrary, it was Tang Sanzang and his disciples who had worked hard but could not get any good results.
Reality was cruel. Take Red Boy for example.
Red Boy was stronger than Sun Wukong. He treated the mountain gods and earth as his slaves. He ate human flesh and drank human blood. He could be said to have committed many evils, but what was his ending?
Making Red Boy a Good Fortune Boy was not a demotion, but a promotion. He had directly turned from a demon into an organized immortal, following beside Bodhisattva.
There were also many demons like Red Boy. They did all sorts of evil, but in the end, they all ended up with the fruits of their labor. Don't you think it's ridiculous?
The powerful demons could be directly supported and become the fruits of their labor. The weak could only wait for death. This was the way Bodhisattva did things. He was not being kind at all. He was expanding his own power and the strength of his subordinates!
(Yes, tickets!)
