The terrifying truth in Journey to the West: Tang Monk was eaten by his mother, Sha Wujing's identity is shocking!

Although it is a film associated with the childhood of many generations, there are many details in "Journey to the West" that not everyone knows. Because they are not reflected in the film or television version.

Tang Monk was "eaten" by his biological mother, at 18 he went down the mountain to take revenge

One of the most surprising facts for the public is that Tang Monk was "eaten" by his own mother. Although the film was loved from the moment it aired, it cannot be denied that "Journey to the West" is not really harmonious and full of love as what people often see on TV. The truth behind it has many scary things that many people do not know.

But for those who understand and have read the original, they will know that demons and ghosts are not really scary, but the scariest thing is the human heart with hidden plots under the mask of kindness and benevolence. In the movie and TV version of "Journey to the West", there are many demons who want to eat Tang Monk but in the end, no one can do it. The only person who has ever bitten Tang Monk's flesh and has never been announced in the movie is his mother.
According to the original, Tang Monk's father was named Quang Nhuy, who passed the imperial examination and married On Kieu - the daughter of the prime minister. On the way to take up his post as the District Governor of Giang Chau, Quang Nhuy and his wife crossed the Hong Giang River by ferry. The ferryman Liu Hong saw that On Kieu was beautiful, so he and his accomplice Li Biao beat Quang Nhuy to death, threw her body into the river, and forced On Kieu to be his wife. At that time, On Kieu was pregnant, so she endured the humiliation and became Liu Hong's wife.

To ensure her son's life, Wen Qiao let him drift down the river. Before letting him go, she bit off half of Tang Seng's left little toe to mark his identity later, and wrote a letter in blood telling the whole story along with his parents' token, then let him go down the river. 18 years later, Tang Seng learned his identity and went down the mountain to avenge his parents.

Poor little Tang Monk was only 3 days old when his mother bit off half of his left little toe, leaving him with only an incomplete foot. On his way to the west of the capital, countless monsters wanted to eat him, but unexpectedly the only person who tasted Tang Monk's flesh was his biological mother.

The most powerful and fearsome monster

The place where the most ferocious and powerful monsters in "Journey to the West" gather is Shi Tuo Country. In the 74th chapter of the tribulations in Shi Tuo Country, Tai Bai Jin Xing transformed into an old man to warn Tang Sanzang and his disciples: "That monster sent a letter to Ling Shan Mountain, and five hundred Arhats had to welcome it. Sending an invitation to the Heavenly Palace, the Twenty-Eight Constellations would also respect it. The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas are their friends. The Eight Immortals must also invite them to eat and drink. The Ten Kings of the Underworld treat them as brothers. The Earth God and the City God all respect them."

The original story explains the power of the demons very clearly. When Sun Wukong transformed into Tong Quan Phong to spy on the little demons, Tieu Tuan Phong talked about the three great kings in the cave, Thanh Su Vuong, Bach Tuong Vuong and Kim Si Dieu, as follows: "Because the Great King has great supernatural powers, he can transform into a great height that reaches the sky. If he wants to shrink his body to the size of a mustard seed, he can do it.

Last year, the Queen Mother hosted a Ban Dao banquet, inviting all the immortals to attend, but did not invite the Great King. The Great King was angry and threatened to send troops to destroy the Ban Dao banquet, taking the opportunity to rebel against the Heavenly Palace. Unexpectedly, the Jade Emperor heard the news and sent one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers to attack the Great King. The Great King transformed into a large form, opened his mouth, and wanted to swallow all the heavenly soldiers. The heavenly soldiers were terrified and ran back to close the Heavenly Gate. That is why I said that.

As for the Second Great King, he was three feet tall, had phoenix eyes and silkworm eyebrows, was as beautiful as a good woman, and had silver fangs and a dragon's nose. If he fought with anyone, he would butt them with just one nose, and with an iron body and bronze back, he would die. The Great King and the Second Great King were both in the Suda Cave, while the Third Great King went to the Suda Country, just to the west, about four hundred miles away.

The Three Great Kings ate all the people of that country, conquered the citadel, and brought many subordinates with them. Now the Three Great Kings heard that the King of the Great Tang sent Tang Monk to retrieve the sutras. That person had cultivated for ten lifetimes in his previous life. If he ate meat, he would live forever and not die. However, he was afraid that a disciple named Sun Wukong, who was very talented and magical, would be unable to resist him alone. So he went to the Shida Cave and made friends with the two Great Kings. I, the Great King, am determined to capture Tang Monk and eat him."

If you pay attention to the detail where Tieu Toan Phong said that all the people in that country (meaning the people in Su Da Country) were eaten clean by the monster, you can imagine how terrifying it was.

The true appearance of the three disciples Tang Monk accepted

Many people think that Zhu Bajie's pig head is that of a domestic pig, but in fact, in the original work, it resembles the head of a wild boar. It was not until he went on a pilgrimage that Zhu Bajie's image improved a bit, but he still looked very ferocious. Although he was not tall, his body was very large.

Regarding the appearance of Sun Wukong, it is not at all as easy to approach as in the movie. Because in reality, in the original work, Sun Wukong is described as having a sharp mouth and fangs like an ape. That is why he always makes people terrified on the road.

Sha Wujing does not look like a monk but a cannibalistic demon, about 4 meters tall. Sha Wujing's necklace is made of human skulls, all of which were victims of his own flesh-eating, the detail of wearing this necklace shows that he is very large.

Revealing the shocking secret that not everyone knows about Sun Wukong's past life Phượng Vũ21:03:34 12/12/2024Anyone who has seen Journey to the West knows that Sun Wukong is one of the most legendary characters in the work. But not many people know that he was once a powerful god.
