The two descendants of the Phoenix clan, the Dapeng Golden-winged Bird and the Golden-winged Roc, appear in the "Journey to the West" at the same time, because their names are very similar, and they are both Roc Birds, so that many people mistakenly believe that the two are the same person, but the two are not the same person, and the gap is still very large, it is two completely different factions.
First of all, the golden-winged roc bird, this person is more familiar to everyone, he is the uncle of the Buddha of Rulai, once in the lion camel ridge as a demon, the mana is strong, the five hundred arhats of the Western Heavens are not his opponents, on the strength of the golden-winged roc bird is no less than Sun Wukong, and later he was accepted by the Buddha, did the Buddhist golden body protector, and cultivated the right results.
Speaking of the Dapeng Golden-winged Bird, the Dapeng Golden-winged Bird is the Peng Demon King, who is Sun Wukong's eldest brother, the third of the Seven Great Saints, known as the Great Sage of The Mixed Heavens.
The "Journey to the West" does not record the origin of the Roc Golden-winged Bird, but it only says that he also has a heavenly ability, and his strength should not be weaker than Sun Wukong, otherwise with Sun Wukong's arrogant temper, how can he be willing to be his little brother?
"Journey to the West" does not describe him much, since Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, except for the Bull Demon King, the other five great saints have never appeared on the scene, including this Peng Devil King. But this does not prevent us from examining him, which is based on another mythological novel, "The Evolution of the Gods".
There is a record of Kong Xuan's great battle with the winged immortals in the "Fengshen Yanyi", the feathered immortals here are the Dapeng Golden-winged Birds, and in the "Fengshen Yanyi", the Dapeng Golden-winged Birds and Kong Xuan (Peacock) are born of an ancestor, and the relationship is very good, and they jointly serve the Yin Shang Dynasty.
At the instigation of Shen Gongbao, the golden-winged Dapeng Bird wanted to fan the waters of the four seas to flood Xiqi, and Jiang Ziya invited the Burning Lantern Daoist to subdue the Golden-winged Dapeng Bird, and from then on the Golden-winged Dapeng Bird became the second disciple of the Burning Lantern Daoist, and the eldest disciple was Li Jing, that is to say, the Golden-winged Dapeng Bird was Li Jing's disciple, and both of them were the brothers of the Erlang god Yang Jian.
He was the chief disciple of Yuan Shi Tianzun and the deputy head of the Illumination Sect, and in Taoism, the status of the Burning Lantern Daoist was second only to that of Yuan Shi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun, and above the Twelve Golden Immortals.
After the Great War of the Gods, Li Jing served in the Heavenly Court and was the Grand Marshal of the Three Realms Demon Voldemort. Although Yang Jian was also nominally subordinate to the Heavenly Court, he was a prince who was independent of the Heavenly Court, and even so, Yang Jian was still a Taoist sect.
From the incomparable status of the master of the Dapeng Golden-winged Bird and the final destination of his two brothers, it is not difficult for us to deduce that Sun Wukong became a Western Heavenly Scripture Collector after making a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, and the Heavenly Court finally recognized the title of "Mixed Heaven Great Sage" under the pressure of the extremely high reputation of the Burning Lantern Daoist, as well as the protection of Li Jing and Yang Jian.
Since then, the Dapeng golden-winged bird has become a god, commanding thousands of grass-headed gods in HuaguoShan, and becoming a prince under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, serving together with his brother Li Jing and his brother Yang Jian under the Taoist disciples.
Through the above analysis, we conclude that the golden-winged roc is the protector of Buddhism, and the roc golden-winged bird is the Taoist mixed heaven and great sage, and the two are not a sect, and the difference is very large.
