"Journey to the West" is broad and profound, many details are worth recalling, from these details we can discover a lot of secrets of the journey to the west, such as this article discussed, why drinking the water of the daughter country will make people pregnant, in fact, there is cat grease in this water, let's analyze it below.
King of the daughter country
We know that under normal circumstances, women give birth to children, but in the journey to the west world, men can also conceive and give birth, the most obvious example is that Tang Monk and Pig Eight Precepts drank the water of the Meridian River in the daughter country, and then each gave birth to a new life in the belly, if there is no intervention, then The melon is ripe, and the Tang Monk and the Pig Eight Precepts become fathers. So why is it that the water of the Meridian River can make people pregnant, and even men are equally effective?
In fact, in the original work many times leaked, but everyone did not carefully observe, in order to facilitate everyone's understanding, a pot of porridge listed some of the original text, the original work in the first time once said such a sentence:
The weather falls, the earth's atmosphere rises; the heavens and the earth intersect, and the crowds are born.
That is to say, living objects are produced by the intersection of heaven and earth, in other words, a wonderful substance produced by heaven and earth gives birth to life, so what is this substance? In the 77th episode of the original book, there is a clear answer, and the book describes it like this:
Since that chaotic equinox, the heavens have opened to the Son, the earth has been cut off from the ugly, life has been born in Yin, the heavens and the earth have merged again, and all things have been born. All things have beasts and birds. The beasts are long for unicorns, and the birds are long for phoenixes. The phoenix had to be in harmony again, breeding peacocks and roc.
Phoenix
Yes, it is the qi that gives birth to life, and the examples in the book are phoenix peacocks and roc. This phoenix is the first one between heaven and earth, of course, there is no partner, she is a peacock and a roc born by relying on the qi of mating, in other words, as long as the qi of intercourse is obtained, both male and female males and females can give birth to living beings.
And the water of the Meridian River in the daughter country can not only make the woman pregnant, but even the man can give birth to the soul when he drinks it, so this water should be rich in the qi of intercourse, otherwise the daughter country would have been extinct long ago, and it would not be their turn to embarrass the Tang monk team on the way to learn the scriptures.

However, this intercourse is also flawed, that is, only women can be conceived, otherwise the daughter country will no longer exist, of course, this is just a guess of a pot of porridge, because the daughter country is a woman, women drink this water must give birth to baby girls, if it is a man to drink? The answer is unknown, interested friends can leave a message in the comment area to discuss this situation.
