The monsters in Journey to the West are basically for the purpose of eating Tang monk meat, this kind of monsters are basically full of evil, but there are also very kind monsters, today we are going to talk about the kindest monster in Journey to the West, the yellow lion spirit.
The Yellow Lion Spirit appeared in the eighty-ninth chapter of Journey to the West, that is, the time when Yuhua Kingdom appeared, and he was the grandson of the Nine Spirits Yuansheng we mentioned in the previous article, and his greatest achievement was to steal the weapons of the three Monkey King brothers and hold a nail rake banquet.
When the yellow lion spirit was going to hold a nail rake banquet, he sent two little monsters, tricky and weird, to go down the mountain to buy pigs and sheep, yes, yes, the demon king on the dignified mountain, to hold a banquet, need pigs and sheep, and also need to go down the mountain to buy, the original two little monsters who went down the mountain said:
We also had some luck and used the twenty taels of silver to buy pigs and sheep. Now that it's time to get to the Qianfang set, let's eat a few pots of wine first. Isn't it good to open a flower tent with things, drop two or three taels of silver, and buy a cotton coat to survive the cold?The monsters under the other demon kings are thinking about how to eat Tang monk meat, but the little demon under the yellow lion spirit actually wants to eat some kickbacks from the purchase fee in order to buy a few cotton clothes for the winter, when it comes to being able to drink wine and buy cotton clothes, the two little demons are talking and laughing, so unhappy, the monsters under them are like this, how can the yellow lion spirit be a bad monster?
At the same time, another detail from Journey to the West also shows the temperament of the yellow lion spirit.
When the three brothers of Sun Wukong turned into two little demons, a guest selling pigs and sheep, drove eight pigs and seven sheep to Hukou Cave, and told Huang Shijing - these livestock cost twenty-five taels of silver, and we still need five taels of silver! The yellow lion's reaction was: Little ones, take five taels of silver and send him away. If this is another youkai, how can it still leave the trafficker alive? Leave it directly to add a dish to the banquet.
When the Yellow Lion Spirit went out to move the rescuers, the three Monkey King brothers directly killed all the little monsters in the Yellow Lion Spirit Cave Mansion, after the Yellow Lion Spirit came back, when he saw that all his subordinates were killed, his first reaction was to be grief-stricken, and he was about to commit suicide by hitting the cliff, but was stopped by the other grandsons of the Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng.
But such a good monster, the ending is miserable, when the yellow lion spirit went to Yuhua Kingdom to ask for an explanation, he was killed by Sun Wukong and cut it into pieces for everyone to eat.
