The Monkey King in "Journey to the West", the smart and naughty Monkey King who can turn the clouds and rain. The reason why Wukong would rather be recited by his master than kill the white bone spirit.
In the vast sea of stories of "Journey to the West", the image of Monkey King is undoubtedly the most unique and distinct. Not only is he strong in martial arts, but he also has a pair of fiery eyes that can see through all disguises. It was these eyes that allowed him to see through the true face of the monster and protect his master Tang Seng on the road to learn scriptures in the west.
Speaking of which, we have to mention the white bone spirit that made Sun Wukong shoot three times. In this story, the white bone spirit constantly changes her identity, from a beautiful woman to an old woman, and then to an old man, and every change she makes is closely aimed at the weakness of people's hearts - greed, hatred, and stupidity. This is not only a test of Tang Seng's team again and again, but also reflects the weaknesses in human nature that are most easily exploited.
The white bone spirit, who transformed into a beauty for the first time, took advantage of Zhu Bajie's greed for beauty, and almost made Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng forget the master's warning, which directly threatened Tang Seng's safety. If Sun Wukong hadn't come back in time and see through her true face, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Here we can see how easily greed can lead to loss of mind and danger.
Immediately afterwards, the second transformation of the White Bone Spirit is a sad old woman, her tears and wails are ostensibly a longing for her relatives, but in fact a test of Sun Wukong's judgment. Although Zhu Bajie knew the lesson of the previous time, in the face of this emotional offensive, he still had resentment in his heart, feeling that Sun Wukong was too cold-blooded. This scene profoundly reveals that when anger takes control of the mind, people tend to make wrong judgments.
For the last time, the White Bone Spirit turned into an old man who asked Tang Seng, and this time her purpose was to use people's compassion and respect for the elderly to achieve her evil ends. Sun Wukong once again saw through her trick and solved the problem directly. From this series of changes, we can see that behind every disguise carefully planned by the White Bone Spirit is the deep excavation and exploitation of human weaknesses. Every time she appears, it is not only a test for the masters and apprentices, but also a test for each of us in the face of temptation and deception.
Here, Sun Wukong's fiery eyes are particularly important. Every time, it is precisely because of his sharp eyes that he can see through the true face of the white bone spirit in time and protect the master and his companions from harm. And for us ordinary people, this sharp eye may be a kind of alertness and discernment. In life, we often encounter all kinds of "white bone spirits", they may be beautifully packaged misinformation, or they may be wolves in sheep's clothing. Learning to see through these disguises is a skill that each of us needs to master.
Although Sun Wukong has a fiery eye, his behavior occasionally causes controversy. For example, every time he discovers the true nature of the White Bone Spirit, he always chooses to directly use violence to solve the problem. Although this practice was effective, it also brought confusion and misunderstanding to Tang Seng. Tang Seng repeatedly blamed Sun Wukong for seeing him kill "innocent" people "for no reason", and the misunderstandings and conflicts in this highlighted the collision between different values.
This may be the charm of "Journey to the West" as a great work. It is not just a simple mythological novel, but through these vivid stories, it deeply reflects the complexity of human nature and the multi-dimensional nature of morality. Behind every seemingly simple fight, there is a deeper truth waiting for us to excavate.
Speaking of this, we can't help but wonder, is Sun Wukong's direct and simple way of solving problems always correct? In real life, should we also have more patience and wisdom to deal with complex interpersonal relationships and moral conflicts? The answers to these questions may be different for everyone, but the important thing is that we need to keep learning and thinking in order to find our own answers in the complex and ever-changing world.
The story of Sun Wukong and the White Bone Spirit sees the wit and bravery of a hero, and also sees a platform for profound moral discussion. This story reminds us that we need to exercise our judgment and decision-making skills in the face of temptation and deception. It also reminds us that it takes more wisdom and patience to solve problems than simple confrontations of force.
