The hidden mysteries of "Journey to the West".
Introduction. "Journey to the West" seems to be a fantasy **, but the details contained in it are eye-opening. With the unremitting cracking of some enthusiastic netizens, everyone is becoming more and more curious about this **. So, what other details are hidden in this **?Today, let's talk about the three dozen white bone spirits in "Journey to the West", and the story behind why the white bone spirits are called Lady White Bones.
1. The hidden characters of Journey to the West.
For Tang Seng, many readers are most concerned about "immortal meat". Almost all of the monsters had the idea of tasting Tang Seng's meat, because this piece of meat was believed to make people immortal. However, the strange thing is that even the immortals of the Heavenly Court need immortal peaches to increase their lifespan. This news has never been spread before Tang Seng became a candidate for learning scriptures, and even Sun Wukong and other apprentices only learned this secret in the process of subduing demons.
So how did the news get out?This is where a hidden character is introduced, the White Bone Spirit. The white bone spirit is the first monster in "Journey to the West" to say that eating Tang monk's meat can lead to immortality, which injects a tense atmosphere into the whole story.
2. The secret of the White Bone Spirit.
The White Bone Spirit is portrayed in "Journey to the West" as one of the monsters with the lowest combat effectiveness, with almost no skills at it, and is only good at autopsy of changes and escapes**. This is obviously unreasonable among youkai, because if you want to survive in this world, you must have a certain combat ability. The performance of the White Bone Spirit has been cultivated for a long time, and there is a great possibility of conflict with other monsters, immortals, etc. However, she seemed powerless in battle, and was even inferior to the tiger spirit that Sun Wukong encountered in his early days.
So, why is the White Bone Spirit so special?We can start with the autopsy**. Autopsy** is a standard Taoist spell, the level is not low, but the spread is very low. The White Bone Spirit used autopsy** in the face of Sun Wukong and others and successfully escaped. This shows that autopsy** is a very advanced spell, and it can even blind the fiery Monkey King.
The special features of the White Bone Spirit are reflected in the important information she holds, her lack of combat ability, and her ability to escape from autopsy. This makes one wonder if she is "protected" in some way, and whether other monsters and gods dare not make a move on her.
3. The husband of the white bone spirit.
Although the Bone Spirit is called Lady Bones, her husband's identity is not revealed in the story. Through some clues, we can learn that the cave where the white bone spirit lives is called White Tiger Ridge, suggesting that there were once white tigers. According to the background of "Journey to the West", it is very likely that this white tiger is also a jing.
So why didn't the White Tiger Spirit appear?Here's a bold speculation: after defeating the White Bone Spirit, the master and apprentice found that the bones were engraved with four large characters, "Lady White Bone". This reminds us of the identity of the White Tiger Spirit, who may have been killed, while the White Bone Lady was reborn by someone's means. In this speculation, a figure related to the White Bone Lady emerges - the Yellow Robe Monster.
The predecessor of the yellow-robed monster was Kui Wood Wolf, who served in the Heavenly Court, and had a wide range of information channels. His deeds of turning Tang Seng into a tiger show that he is confident in battle. The Boyue Cave in Wanzi Mountain, where the Yellow Robe Monster lives, is not far from the White Tiger Ridge, which allows us to speculate that the Yellow Robe Monster may have killed the White Tiger Spirit and reborn the White Bone Lady with its bones.
Epilogue. Although there is no actual evidence that the White Bone Spirit is the lady of the Yellow Robe Monster, her identity is obviously not simple. Perhaps she is the embodiment of some god and holds important information. In "Journey to the West", the monsters that are inextricably linked to the heavenly court always attract everyone's attention. The identity of the White Bone Lady may not only be a "lady", but more likely to be the doppelganger or representative of a certain immortal.
