Overview of the story of the daughter country in Journey to the West

On their way westward, Tang Seng and Bajie drank water from the Zimu River by mistake and developed fetal gas in their bellies. Wukong took the water from the birth spring and cured his master and junior brother's strange ailments. The daughter of the Western Liang Dynasty, the king, admired Tang Seng's talents and was willing to trust his country to marry his younger brother.

The daughter of the king was tender and sent her greetings repeatedly. Although Tang Monk was a holy monk, he was not a man of wood and stone, so his heart was unavoidably a little turbulent. However, in order to learn from the great cause, he resolutely cut off the hidden love and declined the kindness of his daughter, the king.

The Pipa Demon Girl who was hiding in the palace of her daughter, the King, had been paying attention to Tang Seng, and took the opportunity to kidnap him into the Pipa Cave in Poison Mountain, forcing him to become husband and wife with her, but Tang Seng refused.

Wukong and Bajie look for a master and fight fiercely with the demon girl, but are stabbed by her secretly poisonous needle. Later, with the help of Lord Pleiades, the scorpion spirit who transformed into a witch was subdued.

Extended information:

As for the Dongnu Kingdom, the history book "Old Tang Book" Volume 197 "Biography of the Southern Barbarians and Southwest Barbarians" indeed records: "Dongnu Kingdom, The nickname of Xiqiang comes from the fact that there is a female country in the west sea, so it is called Dongnvyan, and the female is the king.

It is connected to Maozhou and Dangxiang in the east, Yazhou in the southeast, and is separated from Luonumanji. Bailangyi. It takes nine days to travel from east to west, and it takes twenty-two days to travel from north to south. It has more than eighty cities, large and small." This means that the journey from north to south of Dongnu Country is long.

It takes nine days to travel from east to west. This is a method of planning distances in ancient times, just like how long a certain place is by car today. According to calculations from this description in the "Old Book of Tang", the distance between the north and south of Dongnu Kingdom should be 400 to 800 kilometers.

The east-west distance should be 180 kilometers to 360 kilometers. This record is roughly the same as the record in "The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty". It can be seen that there was indeed a Dongnu Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty.

He became a monk and grew up in a temple since childhood, became a monk at Jinshan Temple, and finally moved to a famous temple in the capital to settle down and practice. Tang Monk was diligent, studious and highly savvy, and stood out among the monks in the temple. Finally, he was selected by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and he made a sworn vow to him and went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures.

On the way to obtain scriptures, Tang Seng successively accepted three apprentices: Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng, and named them: Wukong (taken by the Bodhi Patriarch, Tang Seng gave him the nickname Xingzhe), Wuneng, and Wukong. Jing, with the help of three apprentices and Bai Longma, went through many hardships.

Tang Seng is compassionate and dedicated to Buddha. He is honest and kind, but he also has a timid side.

2. Sun Wukong

Sun Wukong, also known as Sun Walker and Wukong, is revered as the Monkey King by the monsters in Huaguo Mountain, and the Jade Emperor named him the "Monkey King". There is a fairy stone on the top of the Huaguo Mountain. It has absorbed the essence of the innocent earth, the sun and the moon for a long time, and one day a stone monkey jumped out of it.

He was accepted as a disciple by Patriarch Bodhi, acquired high-strength skills, and even broke into the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea and snatched the "Ruyi Golden Cudgel" as his weapon.

Afterwards, he held a golden cudgel and proclaimed himself the "Monkey King", causing havoc in the heavenly palace and beating hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals to pieces. The Jade Emperor invited Tathagata Buddha from the West to rescue him, and Tathagata cast a spell to suppress Wukong under the Five Elements Mountain.

Five hundred years later, Guanyin Bodhisattva saved Wukong and saved people in Buddhism, and asked Tang Sanzang, a eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty who went to the Tathagata in the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, to rescue him. From then on, Wukong became Tang Seng's great disciple. Along the way, he and his junior brothers Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha protected the master as they traveled through mountains and rivers.

He subdued all kinds of demons and monsters such as the White Bone Demon, the Spider Demon, and the Bull Demon King, and overcame ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, and finally succeeded in obtaining the true scripture and attained the true enlightenment. He himself was named the "Fighting and Victorious Buddha" by the Tathagata.
