In "Journey to the West", it is a long way to learn scriptures from the West, and as soon as he leaves the realm of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Seng seems to be traveling in the world of demons. **There are a large number of impressive monsters depicted in it, including many demons who go through the motions and run tricks, they are indispensable when the big monsters do evil**, and they are the fuel to promote the development of the storyline. Although there are a large number of various demons in "Journey to the West" and their appearance is strange, only a small number of them have their own character names, and most of them are uniformly classified as "little ones", scattered in different chapters of the ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulty. But we will find that even the "tool man" demon has its own personality and ideas, some of them are elegant, some are ugly, some are beautiful, some are shrewd and some are clumsy, and the image is very vivid.
If the little monsters in the Journey to the West world are allowed to gather together to stage a "witty monster workplace life", what kind of interesting scenes full of joy, anger and sorrow will these supporting characters with unique personalities show in the "Demon Career"?

Among the monsters in Journey to the West, the one that impresses readers the most is those stupid and silly little demons, who are obviously performing simple tasks assigned by their superiors in a serious manner, but they are played by the witty Monkey King. Their goal is to become the stepping stone on the way for the big monster to eat Tang monk's meat, but the final outcome is often a stumbling block for leading the big demon. If Monk Sha's most common line in "Journey to the West" is "Senior brother, ** was captured by monsters", then the nameless and nameless mountain demons most often say must be: "King, Sun Wukong has come in". That's right, most of the little monsters have little combat power, and basically act as an intelligence agent for uploading and disseminating, an atmosphere group for shouting and cheering, and a small role for paddling and fishing.

In the seventy-first episode, the monster Sai Tai Sui forcibly married the queen of the Golden Sacred Palace of Zhu Ziguo, Sun Wukong went to his cave to knock on the door of the dignitary, and Sai Tai Sui, as the leader, arranged work for the subordinates: "And Hugh open the door, you go and ask him if he is **, who is his surname, come and report back." The little demon hurriedly went out and asked through the door, "Who is the one who knocked on the door?" The walker said: "I am my grandfather invited by Zhu Ziguo, and I came to take the Holy Palace Niangniang back to China!" "Seeing this, how should the little demon reply to the leader? a.Zhu Ziguo came to ** bGrandfather CThe obtuse angle "grandfather" is obviously Sun Wukong's scolding method in order to take advantage of the monster, but this rumor demon actually conveyed it to Sai Tai Sui as it is. Just as Sai Tai Sui was entangled in whether there was the surname "outside" in the hundred family names, the little demon was still urging on the side: "Grandpa has broken the door!" Sai Taisui didn't have time to think about it, and rushed out with a Xuanhua axe in his hand and shouted: "Which is Zhu Ziguo's grandfather?" ”

Sai Taisui's subordinates are really "brainless", and the right-hand men of the Golden Horn King and the Silver Horn King, the fine ghosts and clever insects, are typical representatives of "a little IQ but not much". The work skills of these two little demons are reflected in their names, perhaps because they are usually agile and flexible, and they are articulate, so they will be assigned the task of "please baby" by the leader at the important juncture of dealing with Sun Wukong.
The King of the Golden Horn and the King of the Silver Horn. ** Screenshot of the TV series "Journey to the West" Sun Wukong heard from the land lord that the Golden Horn King and the Silver Horn King liked alchemy and burning medicine, so he turned into an old Taoist priest, claiming to be from Penglai Mountain, and stopped two little demons holding purple gold red gourds and mutton fat jade net bottles. As soon as the fine ghosts and clever insects who had never been out of Pingdingshan heard about Penglai Mountain, the fairy island, they were immediately frightened, and apologized to Sun Wukong again and again, quite respectful, and even wanted to follow Sun Wukong to Penglai to cultivate immortals. Sun Wukong played another trick because of the situation, and took out the "gourd containing the sky" to exchange the gourd and the net bottle in the hands of the two little demons. The delicate ghosts and clever insects who got a handful of monkey hair thought that they had taken a great advantage and were tired of it, and said with a smile: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Such a good baby, if you don't change it, Cheng is not the son of the breadwinner! ”
Sun Wukong turned into a Taoist priest to coax the two little demons. ** Screenshot of the TV series "Journey to the West" The fine ghost and the clever worm stabbed such a big Lou Zi on the way to delivery, did they abscond in fear of crime or admit their mistakes and beg for mercy? The two little demons hesitated and chose the latter, they did not slip away, but returned to the cave to tell the truth, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, although the King of the Golden Horn and the King of the Silver Horn were angry at the stupidity of their men, but they did not punish them excessively. The second demon also rejoiced: "Creation! Good luck! He was not beaten, nor was he scolded, but he was spared. It can be seen that fine ghosts and clever insects are still valued and cherished by the leaders. Little Diamond Wind, the "patrol manager" of Lion Camel Ridge, is also a little demon who has been given important work by his boss. He carried a "Ling" flag, hung a bell around his waist, knocked on a bell in his hand, and patrolled the mountains all the way to leave the sound of jingling bells, peeling off and peeling the bells, and playing and singing the background ** when he went to work. A little vigilant but not high", facing the Monkey King who claims to be a colleague, Xiao Zuanfeng, who is very familiar with the situation in the cave, was very skeptical at first, how can there be such a colleague with sharp beaks and monkey gills in the cave? He hurriedly cleared up the relationship and said, "Face Sheng, I can't recognize it!" Unrecognizable! Sun Wukong said that he was burning the fire in the cave, and Xiao Zhuanfeng immediately seized the loophole in his words: "My great king's family law is very strict, the one who burns the fire only cares about the fire, and the one who patrols the mountains only cares about the mountains, or he will teach you to burn the fire and teach you to patrol the mountains?" The clever Monkey King immediately made up nonsense: "When the king saw that I burned well, he promoted me to patrol the mountain." The little drill wind will be suspicious, so he wants to check Sun Wukong's "work card", who knows that Sun Wukong imitated his work card to concoct a "total drill wind" token.

"Sum" must be higher than the "small" position, and Xiao Zhuanfeng, who understands the world very well, immediately nodded and sang: "Sir, sir, the new point is really face-to-face, and the words collide, no wonder!" Subsequently, Xiao Zhuanfeng told all the entrepreneurial history and housekeeping skills of his own leaders, the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge. "If it is for the sake of freedom, work can also be thrown away".
In fact, in "Journey to the West", most of the nameless demons are ignored by readers. They are attached to monsters and monsters, have no independent story line, and cannot think and act independently, as if they are non-player characters (NPCs) in a single-player game, a rabble gathered together for the sake of vivid stories. In the seventy-fourth episode, Wu Chengen wrote a scene where a little demon was dismissed by Sun Wukong to tell the truth: the walker said: "Rank, the Tang monk's meat is not a few catties more, and it can't be divided into my place, how can we top this tank for him!" Let's go our separate ways. All the demons said, "That's right, let's go with our own lives." "It turns out that this generation is all wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, beasts and birds, and they all went away with a whin. There are also little demons who are very aware of their job responsibilities, and the catfish monster Ben Bo Erba and the black fish spirit Ba Bo Ben under the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King were caught by Sun Wukong when they were inspecting work, and they immediately disarmed and surrendered, saying that it was the daughter and horse of the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King who stole the pagoda relics and the queen mother's nine-leaf lingzhi grass, and also cooperated with the four masters and apprentices to go to the king to identify their own king, and took their responsibilities away: "The two of me are not thieves, but pawns sent by the Dragon King." He was captured tonight, and what he gave was true. ”
The Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King let the catfish monster run around and get rid of the Tang monk and apprentice. ** There are still some little demons in the screenshot of the TV series "Journey to the West", ostensibly performing the tasks arranged by the big monsters, but secretly complaining about the boss's actions. **There are all kinds of monsters in the world, and there are also kind demons, who are in stark contrast to most of the monster pawns who help the abuse, fox and fake tiger. In the seventieth episode, Sun Wukong went to Sai Tai Sui's demon cave to rescue Queen Zhu Ziguo, and met Sai Tai Sui's messenger demon on the way. There are people who come and go carrying the yellow flag, carrying documents, knocking on the gong, and walking in a hurry like flying, Sun Wukong turned into a flying mosquito and lay on the little demon's schoolbag, only to hear the gong coming and going, and chattering to himself: "My king, I am also poisonous!" "It turned out that he went to give Sai Tai Sui a war letter on behalf of his own king. The war between humans and demons, the result can be imagined, this battle is undoubtedly beneficial for those who come and go, and after the victory, the monsters occupy the city of Zhu Ziguo, and he "also has a big and small official". But he also felt guilty for this, because if Sai Tai Sui used magic weapons, it would definitely cause war all over the world, and the king, kings, ministers, and people would not want to live, and the consequences would be very tragic, so he finally sighed that the king's move was "intolerable!" A muttering made a little monster with a sense of justice leap onto the page. There are self-talks that come and go in the wilderness, but they are the expression of their true inner thoughts, and the kindness of their hearts is undisguised here. But the demon is in the workplace, and he can't help himself, so he has to give this war book. After Sun Wukong heard this, he was secretly happy and felt a little surprised: "Goblins also have good intentions." Sun Wukong incarnated as a Taoist boy and went to set up words that came and went, not only was he unguarded, but he also explained all the details of his work to Sun Wukong with a smile. is so wary of strangers, although he is kind and incompetent, he was killed by Sun Wukong with a stick, and became cannon fodder with "no return". "We hired me".
There are also some demons in "Journey to the West" who are extremely loyal and diligent to the leader, but have a bad stomach. They always uphold the work tenet of "we hire me". Although they don't have much status in the monster workplace, they are extremely serious about the work plan of letting their king eat Tang monk meat, as if they can make eight sets of plans overnight.

The Tiger Pioneer, the general under the command of the Yellow Wind King Sable Monster, is a monster staff member who reverses the progress of the leadership work. The Tiger Pioneer first used the Tiger Departure Scheme to capture Tang Seng to invite merit in front of the King of the Yellow Wind, and the King of the Yellow Wind was taken aback when he saw that his subordinates had sent such a big "achievement": "I heard a legend before and after, Master Sanzang is a monk who was ordered by the Tang Dynasty to learn scriptures, and he has an apprentice under him, named Sun Xingzhi, with vast magical powers and strong intelligence. How can you catch him? It can be seen that King Huangfeng was afraid of Sun Wukong's reputation at the beginning, and he didn't have the courage to intercept Tang Seng. And the Tiger Pioneer relayed his perfect golden cicada shelling and hunting experience to the King of the Yellow Wind, and offered Tang Seng to the King a full meal to show his loyalty, the King of the Yellow Wind was still worried that Sun Wukong would come to the door later, and did not dare to eat Tang Seng immediately, the Tiger Pioneer questioned: "The King, if you don't eat when you see it, you will be inferior!" (King, you are so stubborn if you have food in front of you but don't enjoy it!) Sure enough, soon after Sun Wukong came to the door, the Yellow Wind King was frightened and panicked, but the Tiger Pioneer confidently stepped forward and said: "The king can rest assured and steady, don't worry." The young general is not talented, and he is willing to lead fifty little demon schools out and take those Sun Xing people to eat. Tiger Pioneer said wildly, he was able to fight against Sun Wukong, and even wanted to eat monkey meat, but in the end, of course, he caused himself to be killed.

Madara Yi's strategy was successful, and she also became the sworn sister of the king of inspiration, and was "promoted" to become the "think tank" of Tongtianhe. When Sun Wukong came to the door, Madara carefully analyzed the fighting strength of the two sides, and persuaded the King of Inspiration not to go out to fight, but only to stay in the cave with the door closed. Forced to helpless, Sun Wukong could only go to Guanyin Bodhisattva to discuss the law, and under the subdued by Guanyin, the water monster fish essence in a hole was also dead. When it comes to being a little demon who is a big demon military division, the iron-backed blue wolf definitely has a wealth of work experience. The iron-backed blue wolf once served for the three kings of the Lion Camel Ridge, and after the lion camel cave was cleared, the iron-backed blue wolf jumped ship and took refuge in the Nanshan King of the Hidden Fog Mountain Serial Cave as a military advisor. This little demon relied on the fact that he had fought with the scripture learners, and came up with a "split plum blossom plan" for the king of Nanshan, so as to earn the name of a "front pioneer". The so-called "split plum blossom plan" is to let the three little demons turn into the appearance of the king of Nanshan and transfer the three apprentices away, and the king of Nanshan will catch Tang Seng as easily as exploring the bag and taking things.
The Tiebei blue wolf offered advice to the king of Nanshan. ** Screenshot of the 86th version of the TV series "Journey to the West" In order to eat comfortably, the iron-backed blue wolf offered a plan to use a dummy head to fool the three apprentices, telling them that Tang Seng had become a delicacy on a plate, making them leave in despair. As a result, this plan was seen through by Sun Wukong, and the king of Nanshan rolled the wind and fog and fled back, but the iron-backed wolf was defeated by Sun Xingzhi with a stick because he could not change. These little demons who make plans and even die have their own greed and ambitions, they are so reckless and ruthless, and they are willing to stand guard for the demon leader, report the military situation, and wave the flag and shout.
