The husband and wife of Niu Tie have been practicing for thousands of years, and they are no different from other yokai and have no behavior out of line; they are even more benevolent and kind than other yokai: cannibalism is not as cruel and bloody as that of the lion and camel country; and they put out fires and rain for the people around the Flame Mountain to ensure the harvest of crops. It can be said that it is a god in the hearts of the people in that area. ----------------------------------------------------------
It is easy to understand that the Tang monks and disciples passed through the Flame Mountain, failed to borrow a fan, and then the two sides turned their faces and fought hard. Why did the Heavenly Court attach great importance to this and send the Heavenly Soldier Heavenly General to kill Niu Tie and his wife?
Read "Journey to the West" carefully, and slowly discover the reason for it:
The rainfall in the Three Realms has always been decided by the Jade Emperor! —— The matter of Fengxian County and the Dragon King of Jinghe is strong evidence.
Whether the Jade Emperor wants to rain on a place or not, and how much rain he wants, is up to himself, which is the power of the Three Realms and the reason for being enshrined by people with incense. However, what Princess Tiefan did (extinguishing the fire, raining) obviously robbed the Jade Emperor of his job, and the flame mountain area broke away from the Jade Emperor's control and became a country within a country: as long as the people wanted to plant crops and send offerings to the Luocha women. This seriously harmed the authority and tangible interests of the Jade Emperor.
As the Lord of the Three Realms, how could the Jade Emperor be subjected to this nest of qi? Therefore, borrowing the contradiction between the team and the Bull Demon King couple, I want to get rid of it quickly!
It can be said that Niu Tie and his wife have not been wronged at all.
