"Journey to the West" is broad and profound, many details in it are worth recalling, for a long time did not write inventory articles, here we come to talk about the ghost king mentioned in "Journey to the West", according to the original mention of three types of ghost kings, they are very powerful, one to the heavenly court as a messenger, one in huaguo mountain as an undercover, the other more powerful, even Rulai does not dare to provoke, he is the creditor of Rulai, let's talk about it specifically.
One-horned ghost king
Unicorn Ghost King, this unicorn ghost king was specifically mentioned in the previous article, in order to avoid new users being blinded, here is a brief chat. They appeared very suddenly, when Sun Wukong resigned from Bow Ma Wen and returned to Huaguo Mountain, the monkey had planned to concentrate on cultivation, but unexpectedly the two one-horned ghost kings took the initiative to come to the door.
They were not fuel-saving lamps, they did two things, one was to bring Sun Wukong an ochre yellow robe, this robe was a pot of porridge specially checked, that is, the robe worn by Tianzi. Because the color is ochre yellow, it is called ochre yellow robe. It is generally used to refer to the Son of Heaven. In fact, everyone should understand that this is to encourage Sun Wukong to call himself emperor, and the emperor of the human world, monkeys are not rare at all, so their intention is to let monkeys replace the Jade Emperor. The second thing is to confirm this idea, that is, to encourage Sun Wukong to call himself "Qi Tian Dasheng", which is to show that he wants to compete with the Jade Emperor.
So let's think deeper, why did these two ghost kings of unknown origin instigate Sun Wukong to do such a thing? The reason is actually very simple, that is, to instigate Sun Wukong to make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, and then promote the development of the storyline, lead to the Buddha of Rulai when it is irreconcilable, surrender Sun Wukong, and then escort the Tang monk Xi tian to learn the scriptures, yes, they do all this to learn the scriptures.
And their ending also proves this, when the soldiers and heavenly generals fought against Huaguoshan, they were caught in the first wave to the heavenly court, and then there was no news, which showed that their mission had been completed and they returned to the heavenly court. Some friends may wonder if they will be executed by the Heavenly Court. In fact, no, because the Heavenly Court has a custom of using the Ghost King, such as the one introduced below, which is the staff of the Heavenly Garden.
Hercules Ghost King
The Great Ghost King, should be the same as the One-Horned Ghost King, they are the messengers of the Heavenly Court, the work content is to report the war situation, convey the will and other errands, here are two small examples, are the original content, everyone will know at a glance.
Li Tianwang was shocked to see this, and immediately ordered to write a table for help, so he sent the Powerful Ghost King and the Wooden Fork Prince to the Heavenly Revelation.
Seeing that, the Task of the Hercules Ghost King was to play the content of the battle situation to the Heavenly Court. Here's another example:
When the Jade Emperor heard that the will to transfer troops was passed on, he sent the Powerful Ghost King to adjust.
Of course, he has other jobs, such as escorting criminals and other chores. The next Ghost King is more special, it can be said that it is much more powerful than the above.
Poison Fire Ghost King
The Poisonous Fire Ghost King, the Ghost King, is more mysterious, and there is only one sentence mentioned in the original book, which is like this:
Hua guang bodhisattva is a disciple of the Flame Five Light Buddha. Because of the elimination of the Poisonous Fire Ghost King, he was demoted and transformed into a five-apparition official. There will be temple blessings here.
Turning over the original work, Huaguang Bodhisattva, Flame Five Light Buddha and this poisonous fire ghost king only appeared once, it is very difficult to find the poisonous fire ghost king in the original work, so it is really not easy to say that he is clear, so a pot of porridge refers to some information, the origin of this ghost king and its results to say, for this ghost king in the "Journey to the South" introduced more clearly, let's first take a look at what it is said inside. The original text will not be repeated, directly on the dry goods.
It is said that the Poison Fire Ghost King is the actual owner of the Spirit Mountain, and rulai wants to find a place to develop the Buddhist cause after becoming a Buddha, after his careful investigation, he found that the lingshan place is full of aura and convenient transportation, so he consulted with the poison fire ghost king, set a one-year lease contract, the lease period is approaching, if you are more reluctant to be here, so you did a fraud, changed a word to a cross, and after the day, the poison fire ghost king found Rulai, and as a result, I rented for ten years, although the poison fire ghost king was very angry, but still gave up the appeal, As a result, ten years later, the Poison Fire Ghost King came again, such as saying that the lease was a thousand years, and the Poison Fire Ghost King's heart was blown up, but he felt that Rulai was stronger than himself, so he did not dare to really follow Rulai, but this breath could not be swallowed, he wanted to be lingshan listening to the scriptures, if rulai was generous, it was no harm to give the lingshan to him, and as a result, he clashed with Huaguang Bodhisattva inside, and as a result, he was burned to death.
Some friends may question that this poisonous fire ghost king should have studied fire, why is he still burned to death? This is because this Huaguang Bodhisattva is more cattle, people are originally the wick in front of the Buddha's temple into essence, can the fire of the Poisonous Fire Demon King be able to fight the wick again 6? So his ending was more tragic.
