In the CCTV version of "Journey to the West" (sequel in 1998), the python that cultivated into a spirit in the Seven Absolute Mountains transformed into a beautiful woman, known as "Niangniang", with a conceited and sinister and cunning personality. Because the feminine qi in her body is too strong, she must suck the blood of a strong man and use the yang qi inside to balance her excessive yin qi, so as to maintain her life and beauty, so she must continuously absorb the blood of Zhuang Ding to maintain her life and the appearance of a young girl. In order to obtain human blood, she endangered Tuoluozhuang and once arrested many young and middle-aged men in the village (including Li Laohan's son Changsheng), causing the families of GyroZhuang to dare not go out at night.
Naturally, "Niangniang" was finally killed by Sun Wukong.
However, this plot belongs to the "re-creation" of the main creators of film and television dramas to some extent, and the description of this role in the original work is not so rich. However, whether it is film and television or the original work, the ending of the python essence is the same.
CCTV's "Journey to the West" (continued) appeared in the python essence stills
The sixty-seventh time in the Journey to the West, "Save the Camel Luo Zen Sex Stability and Get Rid of the Filthy Dao Heart Purity", when the Tang monks and his party came to the Rare Persimmon Camel Luo Zhuang, they first helped the people in the village except for the big python (python essence). The original text has these sentences:
The Eight Precepts then caught up with them and raised palladium to build them. The walker pierced the object through a large hole, and the drill general came out: "Nerd! He's dead and dead, so why are you building him? The Eight Precepts said, "Brother, don't you know that my old pig is good at killing snakes in his lifetime?" So he collected his weapon, grabbed his tail, and pulled it backwards.
As for Sun Wukong's lack of mercy for the "beautiful women" that goblins have become, this is almost his consistent style. Like the "three dozen white bone essences", like the apricot immortals encountered by Mu Xian'an, and the "Xiaomi" jade-faced fox of the Bull Demon King, these "scattered cultivation" without background, the master brothers are basically cutting grass and roots, eliminating evil!

For example, the apricot immortal, Sun Wukong let the eight precepts of the pig destroy the apricot immortal, bamboo immortal, pine tree essence, etc., even the Tang monk felt that this strange man and animal were harmless, so that Goku was merciful. The original text reads:
Sanzang pulled forward and said, "Gono, don't hurt him!" Although he became the climate, he did not hurt me, and I waited to find a way to go. The practitioner said, "Master does not pity him, I am afraid that in the future he will become a monster and harm people." ”
Why is Sun Wukong so "unsympathetic"?
I think there are two factors to this. First, Sun Wukong himself has done the "seduction" thing! He said it himself. See the section of the original "Journey to the West" twenty-seventh time "Corpse Demon Three Plays Tang Sanzang Holy Monk Hates the Monkey King":
Master, you know it there! When Lao Sun was a demon in the water curtain cave, if he wanted to eat human flesh, it was like this: either turning into gold and silver, or changing zhuangtai, or becoming intoxicated, or changing female color. If there is such an obsessive person who falls in love with me, I will charm him to the cave, and I will do whatever I want, or steam or boil it; if I can't eat it, I will dry it to prevent the sky from the sky! Master, if I am late, you will fall into his trap and be poisoned by him!
In terms of appearance alone, the white bone essence is not bad
Maybe Sun Wukong said this just to make Master believe that Bai BoneJing was a monster, and he may not have really done this. However, it can be seen that Sun Wukong is "clear" about these things. Because Sun Wukong knows these doorways, he will not be confused and interfered with by his judgment.
Second, Sun Wukong is highly intelligent and can see through the tricks of the monster. Some people may say that Sun Wukong is a "golden eye of fire" who can see through the monster at a glance. But this is only a film and television adaptation, in the original "Journey to the West" Sun Wukong's "fire eye golden eye" is an eye disease. Therefore, Sun Wukong really saw through the essence of the monster by not the golden eye of the fire eye but his "wise eye".
This is like the problem that we often say that the high people look at the mountains and look at the water, they "look at the mountains or the mountains, and look at the water or the water." But they have long seen the essence of things through the surface of things. What we ordinary people see is the beautiful and seductive appearance of the monster, and what Sun Wukong sees is the essence of the monster wearing a beautiful human skin to do evil.
It can be seen that Sun Wukong will not be confused by the appearance of the goblins, and in order to prevent these goblins from hurting people in the future, he naturally kills them with a stick!
