In the end, it was defeated by the joint efforts of the monkey, Bajie, Erlang God and the dog. The goods only escaped with injuries and were not killed on the spot!
So, what is the origin of nine head worm?
To sum up, nine head worm in The Journey to the West is a monster with nine heads, which was invented by the author according to the shape and legend of the bird with nine heads.
Although it looks ugly, it has infinite magic and super powers.
What is the specific performance?
For appearance:
The original novel wrote:
But he made a roll, jumped up in the air, and presented himself as nine head worm, whose image was very evil. Seeing this body, he was afraid of killing people?
The pig eight quit here? Read countless demons? Monks who have been spit by themselves, when they see him now, are all surprised and sigh:
Brother! I'm a human being myself, and I've never seen anything so evil! What kind of flesh and blood gave birth to this beast? ?
As for skills: Even a character like the Monkey King can't be subdued. Can't help but sigh:
This guy is as interested as you! I'm going back to the court, lest the king laugh at me?
Finally, after Erlang Shen and the Monkey King joined forces, nine head worm was bitten off by a growling dog. Rejection? Yes
Of course, he can finally? Slip away? , mainly because the Monkey King punches, cut him some slack, ok? Kill them all? .
It can be said that this is one of the few monsters in Journey to the West who survived the Monkey King.
After nine head worm's head was bitten off and fled to Beihai, someone asked, why did Bajie dare to chase, but Wukong chose to give up?
Reading Jun thinks this is mainly related to the following reasons.
0 1 Big Brother also has a short board, and the Monkey King is unfamiliar with water.
Say? No one is perfect, and gold is not enough? . Even the Great God here in the Monkey King has the ability of walking around and changing, but it also has its own shortcomings and weaknesses, such as not knowing water.
Such as Liushahe, when two people were playing with Friar Sand, who was not a brother at that time, the Monkey King said to Pig Bajie:
I'm not very familiar with the activities in the water. If you leave empty, you have to twist the tactic and read the water-avoiding spell before you can leave. Otherwise, I'll be a fish, shrimp, crab, turtle or something. Speaking of gambling, what's strange about you in the mountains and clouds?
In a word, as long as the Monkey King is with Pig Bajie, the Monkey King certainly doesn't understand water. He always lets Pig Bajie into the water to lure monsters ashore.
It is worth mentioning that talking about this matter is actually quite questionable.
Because at the beginning of the novel, before the Monkey King teamed up with Pig Bajie to learn from the scriptures, he went to the East China Sea many times to find the Dragon King and asked him for all kinds of weapons in order to get a weapon? Treasure? What phoenix wing purple and gold crown, lock golden armor, the most important golden hoop.
When he got the treasure and returned to Huaguoshan, he jumped out of the waves without being wet by the water.
Later, because he killed several robbers, the Tang Priest talked about it. He was angry and dissatisfied and went to the Dragon King in the East China Sea for tea.
In short, before meeting Bajie, the Monkey King's ability to enter the water can be said to come and go freely, unlike not knowing water at all.
Strangely, however, the Monkey King changed when Bajie was reorganized into the Buddhist scriptures team. From then on, whenever you meet a monster, you will not go into the water, but leave it to your brother.
Is this a bug in Mr Wu Cheng'en's writing? Doubt!
The Monkey King thinks nine head worm must be? More deaths and fewer births?
In many rounds of fighting between the two sides, nine head worm was wounded and fled. Pig Bajie tried to catch up and was stopped by the Monkey King. He did this not because he was afraid of going to Beihai, but because he thought that if the goods were bitten off, they would be run away and there was little chance of survival!
This explanation can be clearly found in the original text:
The monster fled in pain and went to the North Sea. Bajie will be here soon. Monkey stopped him. Don't drive him away. That's true. Don't chase the enemy? . He was bitten by a good dog. He must have died more and had fewer children.
You see, Mr Wu Cheng'en writes very clearly. After all, it's almost impossible for a person who hates evil like the Monkey King to let a monster like nine head worm run away from his nose. After all, this is not only beneath his dignity, but also without his sense of responsibility (determination and courage to slay demons)!
However, Jiro, the eldest brother next door, doesn't quite agree with this view of the Monkey King. He sighed:
Just leaving this alive will do harm to future generations. So far, nine head worm has shed blood. Is it a legacy?
At this point, many people tried again to understand this story:
Saying nine head worm this fellow is because of what? So far, there is still a drop of blood from nine head worm. Is it a relic? , and means not dead, so if we know not dead, why didn't the Monkey King go after nine head worm?
Therefore, there is a third explanation:
Nine head worm's strength is extraordinary.
Many people think that the Monkey King didn't dare to kill nine head worm because nine head worm fled to the North Sea, which is the land of great power.
The Monkey King, afraid of Zhenwu the Great.
In fact, however, the strength of Zhenwu Emperor is far lower than that of the Monkey King.
In addition, there is another common saying:
Nine head worm's extraordinary ability and the Monkey King's 30-round draw show that this demon has certain strength. With that, he showed his true colors and took Bajie away.
All this shows that this demon's ability is not so easy to deal with as an ordinary monster.
Moreover, the description of him in the original book is also unusual:
He was born? Hairiness and brocade? Longitudinal Dapeng has no strength; The sound of launching is far away and can be higher than that of a crane. Eyes shining with golden light, that kind of pride is different from any bird.
This shows that this product is not simple!
Write to the end:
Incidentally, some people think that nine head worm's strength is actually greatly overestimated.
Because nine head worm is one of the few monsters after the Monkey King disappeared, but not necessarily strong.
Why do you see it? Because of the last battle, nine head worm was easily bitten by the little dog before Brother Erlang actually fired a shot, which shows that his skill is still limited.
