In the ancient book "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong is undoubtedly a character that people love and hate. Especially in that scene, the grievances between the seven fairies turning into spider spirits and Sun Wukong are still talked about by countless book fans. Do you know what kind of deep hatred is hidden behind this battle between the fairy world and the monsters?
It is said that in the heavenly palace, a grand peach festival will be held every thousand years, and the peach can increase life and prolong life after eating, and it is naturally a delicacy coveted by the gods. And the one in charge of Pan Taoyuan is our Monkey King Sun Wukong. However, this monkey brother has always been a naughty troublemaker, and although he is in the fairy world, he is also an out-and-out troublemaker.
At that year's peach festival, the Queen Mother specially assigned the seven fairies to pick peaches. Who knows, before these seven fairies had time to display their picking skills, they were given a fixation method by Sun Wukong and remained motionless. You think, this is a disgrace in front of the gods. The Seven Fairies were embarrassed and indignant, and the hatred in their hearts was like a fire that had been blocked in their stomachs, and they couldn't suppress it.
Afterwards, although the Queen Mother did not pursue the matter too much, the hatred in the hearts of the seven fairies was accumulating day by day. They couldn't bear the humiliation, so they decided to give the monkey a little color in private. So, they turned into spider spirits and infiltrated the world, looking for an opportunity to take revenge on Sun Wukong.
The story shifts to the Yellow Flower Temple, which was originally the territory of the centipede spirit. The four Tang monks and apprentices came here unintentionally, originally thinking that they could spend the night in peace, but who knew that they had stepped into another conspiracy. The centipede essence was originally suspicious and wanted to eat Tang Seng in order to live forever, but the appearance of the seven spider essences made things even more complicated.
The goal of the Seven Spider Spirits is directly aimed at Sun Wukong, they sow discord and let the centipede spirit poison Tang Seng, but the real purpose is to take the opportunity to get rid of Sun Wukong. It is conceivable that behind this, the Seven Fairies' hatred for Sun Wukong has reached a certain extent.
Sun Wukong is naturally not an idle person, he has already noticed all this. In the battle, he wittily recognized the true body of the Seven Spider Spirits, and after a fierce battle, the Seven Spider Spirits were finally defeated by Sun Wukong one by one because they were invincible. This battle is not only a contest of strength, but also a duel of wisdom and strategy. Sun Wukong's victory seems to have once again proved his heroic nature, but the sadness and helplessness behind this can only be felt by himself.
The root of this grievance can be traced back to the exciting history of Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace. On a whim, Brother Monkey not only made a big fuss about the peach event, but also swept all the way through the fairy world, causing the gods to complain. At that time, he was so arrogant and domineering, as if the entire Heavenly Palace had been turned upside down by him. This series of behaviors undoubtedly established a strong hostility for him in the fairy world, and the hatred of the seven fairies was only the tip of the iceberg.
Sun Wukong is not without emotion. In his opinion, his actions may have been too reckless, but he never wanted to really hurt these fairies. Every time he looked back, he felt a trace of bitterness and helplessness. It's not that he doesn't know how to be considerate and forgiving, but at that time, for the sake of his freedom and faith, he had to choose that way to fight.
This complex emotional interweaving makes this grievance between Sun Wukong and the Seven Fairies seem particularly tortuous and painful. The conflict between them is not just a personal grudge, but more like a tragedy arranged by fate, in which everyone plays a predestined role.
In it, we see the transformation of Monkey King from a pure troublemaker to a thoughtful hero. Each challenge has made him more mature and more aware of how to find his place in this complex world. And the Seven Fairies, although their behavior is understandable, it also makes people feel a little sad. Because, in their pursuit of justice, they have also lost their original tranquility and beauty.
This grudge that has been entangled for hundreds of years, does it seem that it also makes people feel a little melancholy? The wheel of history has long been run over, should those grievances and grievances also go with the wind and let everything start again? This is a question that everyone who has read "Journey to the West" will think about.
Looking back, this grievance between Sun Wukong and the Seven Fairies is not just a simple story. It reflects the complexity of human nature and the impermanence of the world. The story of Sun Wukong is not only his adventure, but also a mirror, reflecting the inner contradictions and struggles of each of us.
