The role of the land lord in Journey to the West is basically a package to ask, when Sun Wukong encounters difficulties and wants to understand the details of this monster, he will call the land lord out, and once the details are known, this monster is basically going to lose, so why doesn't the monster kill the land lord?
Reason 1: You can't kill
The reason why you can't kill is actually very simple, we can take a look at it, when Sun Wukong summoned the land lord, he said such a sentence.
I want you to be a god here, and I know where he came from. What kind of goblin it is, honestly, no fight!See, the land lord is not an ordinary character. He is a god officially compiled by the heavenly court, such a god, you can bully him, maybe you can. Or that your backstage is relatively hard, and you beat him, it's not a big problem. But if you want to kill him, it's really a bit of a problem, and it's a big problem. After all, if you kill this land lord, it is impossible for the people of Heavenly Court not to take care of it. After all, the land lord is the god of the heavenly court, once the heavenly court sends other people over, then do you think it is useless for you to fight again? You don't think you're better than Monkey King, do you?
Even if you are better able to fight than the Monkey King, it is useless, because if you kill the land lord, it is equivalent to pulling the flag and rebelling, and if the heavenly court does not get you down, he will not be able to do it in the future.
Reason 2: There is no need to kill
Don't think that the land lord, as long as he sees the monster, he will go to subdue the demon and subdue the demon, for the land lord, his duty is not this. We can take a look at how the land lord reported to Monkey King in the difficulty of the spider spirit.
"That goblin won't live here for ten years. Since the inspection of the little god three years ago, he has seen that his true appearance is seven spider spirits. He spit out the silk cords, which are spider silk.See, the monsters have been coming to this place for ten years, and the land lord has never thought of subduing demons and subduing demons, because this is not someone else's job. He only needs to find out the origin of these monsters, and when he needs to use them, then he will report this information to the people who need to use them, which is equivalent to completing his own work. Subduing demons and subduing demons is something that other departments of Heavenly Court do.
So although the monster is said to be very bad, it is an immortal who does not take the initiative to provoke him, unless this monster has a problem with his brain, otherwise, he will not easily kill this immortal.
Reason 3: I can't beat it
Don't think that the land lords are very weak, some of the land lords are also very strong, and even I think that the heavenly court will send the land lords according to the strength of the monsters in these places. For example, here in the Flaming Mountain, this land is quite special.
The land yin soldiers stepped forward together, using nails and palladium, iron rods, and ping-pong pong, and smashed the front door of a Moyun Cave.See, this land lord is helping the scripture-learning team to fight the Bull Demon King, and he also brings his own Yin soldiers. Do you think this strength can be weak? The reason why many people think that he is weak after seeing the land lord. The main reason is that when they were fine, they were bullied by Monkey King. But if you think about it from another angle, being bullied by the Great Sage does not mean that it is weak, but in some other places, they don't need to take action.
On the whole, killing is more likely to cause accidents
So on the whole, for these monsters, it is the least cost-effective thing to kill the land lord. If you have the ability, you can accept these land lords as junior brothers, such as the red boy of the Flame Mountain, who treats these land lords and mountain gods as their slaves. If you don't have this kind of ability, to provoke the land lord, it is basically the old birthday star who hangs himself for a long time, and you may not have to wait for Sun Wukong to make a move, you are gone.
