When it comes to Lion Camel Ridge in "Journey to the West", the first impression is terrifying, as for how terrifying it is, the original description of Journey to the West is:
The skeletons are like mountains, and the bones are like forests. Human hair is turned into felt, and human skin and flesh are rotten into mud. The human tendons were wrapped around the trees, and the stems were scorched and shiny like silver. It's really a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and it really smells bad.
To put it simply, there are scattered human tissues everywhere in Lion Camel Ridge, and what caused such a terrifying scene is that in addition to the 48,000 demons on Lion Camel Ridge, there are also the three major demon kings who occupy this mountain, namely: green lion, white elephant, and Dapeng eagle.
As for how powerful these three demon kings are?
From the Lion Camel Ridge patrol mountain drill tuyere, we can know:
The eldest green lion spirit once swallowed 100,000 heavenly soldiers in one bite; the second white elephant spirit is not only infinitely powerful, but also has the ability to destroy copper skin and iron bones; in addition to high IQ and fast speed, the old three peng eagles also have a magic weapon in their hands that can turn people into blood and water, Yin and Yang two gas cylinders;
It can be seen that the three demon kings are all powerful, plus the 800 miles of Lion Camel Ridge they occupy plus Lion Camel City, which is the largest monster territory in the Journey to the West, and the number of demons is also the largest among the monster forces, so some people think that Lion Camel Ridge is the most difficult level on the way to learn scriptures.
So the question is, is the most difficult level on the road to learn the scriptures?
Let's take a look at why Lion Camel Ridge is the most difficult level;
In this regard, Tang Gu summarized the following six points:
First, when the scripture-learning team had not yet set foot on the Lion Camel Ridge territory, Tai Bai Xing came to persuade them to retreat, so that Tai Bai Xing could make a special trip, which showed that the three demon kings in this level were indeed powerful.
Second, there is basically only one boss in other levels, such as: the red boy of Drill Mountain, the green cow spirit of Jindou Mountain, the Huangmei King of Xiaoleiyin Temple, the Jiuling Yuansheng of Zhujie Mountain, and so on.
However, the boss of Lion Camel Ridge appears in the form of the three demon kings guarding together, which is one of the reasons why this level makes people feel powerful;
Third, in the competition between the two sides, although the green lion spirit and the white elephant spirit were restrained by Sun Wukong, Dapeng Eagle restrained Sun Wukong with an absolute advantage in terms of speed;
Fourth, the magic weapon Yin and Yang two cylinders in the hands of Dapeng Eagle can turn people into pus and blood, and for this treasure, Sun Wukong has no way at all, if it weren't for Guanyin who gave him three life-saving hairs before, Sun Wukong would have died in the bottle without an accident;
Fifth, there was Tai Bai Xing who came to persuade him to retreat, which was actually to report to the scripture-learning team and let them be prepared, and then there was a small drill wind to reveal to Sun Wukong the old bottom of Lion Camel Ridge, that is, what magic powers and magic weapons the three demon kings have.
However, in the case of knowing the roots, the scripture learning team is still a mess, and this can also show that the three demons of Shicamel Ridge are very strong;
Sixth, in order to subdue the three demons, the Buddha also dispatched all the gods and Buddhas of Lingshan, including the past Buddha, the future Buddha, and Manjushri Bodhisattva and Puxian Bodhisattva, to the Lion Camel Ridge.
And such a strong lineup has never appeared at all when subduing other youkai;
Let's take a look at any more difficult levels than Lion Camel Ridge?
In this regard, Tang Gu believes that there are at least two checkpoints on the way to learn the scriptures that are more difficult than Lion Camel Ridge:
First, the green cow essence of Jindou Mountain;
The green bull spirit was originally the mount of the Taishang Laojun, according to what the Taishang Laojun said, the green cow spirit belonged to the demon who went down to the earth privately, but the discerning person knew at a glance that he was instructed by the Taishang Laojun to go to Jindou Mountain as a demon, and its purpose was to prevent the scripture learning team from going to the west to learn the scriptures.
As for the power of this level, it lies in the magic weapon diamond bracelet in the hands of the green cow spirit, which can be collected correctly whether it is a weapon or a magic weapon.
Therefore, for the green cow essence, whether it is Sun Wukong or the gods and Buddhas of the sky, they can't help him, and even say that even the Buddha has nothing to do with him, and in the end he can only use a similar bribery method to use eighteen golden dansha (eighteen gold mountains) in exchange for this pass;
Second, the Yellow Eyebrow King of Xiaoleiyin Temple;
King Huangmei was originally the chime boy next to Maitreya Buddha, and when Maitreya Buddha went out, he secretly went down to Xiaoleiyin Temple to pretend to be Buddha.
For the King of Yellow Eyebrows, his strength is the two magic weapons he stole from Maitreya Buddha, that is, the golden cymbal and the acquired seed bag.
For these two magic weapons, not only Sun Wukong was helpless, but even the masters of the three-way immortal realm he invited were all defeated by the Yellow Eyebrow King.
In the end, it was Maitreya Buddha who personally subdued the Yellow Eyebrow King;
In addition to these two levels, Red Boy's Drill Bit Mountain, Jiuling Yuansheng's Zhujie Mountain, the difficulty of their levels can also compete with Lion Camel Ridge in Tang Gu's opinion, and what do you think about this?
