There are three monsters in Lion Tuoling. Why can a green lion be a big brother?

In all kinds of myths and legends in ancient China, the ranking of characters' strength has always been something that readers are happy to discuss. In the story, the author will rank the characters clearly according to factors such as strength, power and seniority. Some rankings can be recognized by readers, but some readers don't pay the bill, because in their view, some characters are obviously more powerful!

So is The Journey to the West. Although the ranking of Tang Priest's mentoring depends on the order of persuasion, the Monkey King will still be the master elder brother, and Pig Bajie and Friar Sand will still be the second and third brothers. I believe readers will think so, too.

However, there is such a small detail in The Journey to the West, which happened in the story of the lion camel bell. That's the ranking of the three monsters. The three monsters in The Lion Camel Bell are the green lion essence, the six-toothed white elephant and the golden-winged Dapeng carving. It is clearly stated in the original work that the king is the green lion essence, the second king is the six-toothed white elephant, and these three kings are the golden-winged Dapeng carving.

Some readers think that among the three, it is obvious that the golden-winged Dapeng carving is the strongest. What does this green lion have to do to become the big brother of the golden-winged Dapeng Diaolong? In fact, there is no problem in the ranking of the lion camel bell three demons. It is obvious that the author made such a ranking after careful consideration. As for why, please listen to my detailed analysis.

The golden-winged Dapeng carving is indeed the most outstanding. This golden-winged Dapeng carving is relatively strong in the setting of Journey to the West, and the Monkey King is no match for the golden-winged Dapeng carving.

In the story of the lion camel bell, according to the usual practice, the Tang Priest was taken away and the Monkey King and others tried to rescue him, so the conflict with the three demons of the lion camel bell was inevitable. The green lion went into battle first, thinking that he had the upper hand, and swallowed the Monkey King in one gulp. Who wants the Monkey King to make love in the belly of the green lion essence, making the green lion essence miserable?

Chapter 76 of the original text reads as follows: Sun hesitated for a while in the old demon's stomach, and the demon fell into the dust, silent and lifeless. If he didn't say anything, he thought he was dead, but he let go. It can be seen that this green lion essence is no match for the Monkey King. Then the six-toothed white elephant heard that the eldest brother was bullied and was very dissatisfied, so he led an army to crusade, and the result was still defeated in Maicheng.

In fact, after the two monsters of the lion camel bell were defeated, they wanted to give up the idea of eating Tang priest's meat. As a result, under the persistent insistence of the third elder brother's golden-winged Dapeng carving, the three demons attacked again, this time caught off guard by the Monkey King and others, and the Tang Priest and his party were captured one after another.

When the Dapeng Carving with Golden Wings confronted the Monkey King, the original seventy-seventh time wrote: This demon had nine Wan Li when it fanned one wing, but it was overtaken by two fans, so it must be grasped in the hand. If you want to go, you can't escape. If the Monkey King's strength is taken as the criterion, the strength of the Golden Winged Dapeng Carving is obviously the highest among the three demons.

On the other hand, in "the Monkey King", when the Buddha came to the world and the lion camel bell possessed three demons, the green lion and the white elephant showed their true colors directly when they saw such a large front. Only the golden-winged Dapeng carving will never make a difference. From here, we can also indirectly see that the golden wing Dapeng carving is fierce, otherwise they would have surrendered with his cunning character! So look at the strength, the green lion essence can't be Dapeng's big brother!

The life background of Dapeng Carving with Golden Wings is also the most prominent. In addition to strength, the identity background of the Golden Winged Dapeng Carving is also very tough! In the story of Journey to the West, it seems that there is no powerful backer who can be a demon, and so can the lion camel bell three demons. This green lion essence and six-toothed white elephant are the mounts of Manjusri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva respectively.

In episode 77, the Tathagata ordered his men to call Manjushri and Samantabhadra, saying, "You two ride horses separately and go to Wutai Mountain, Emei Mountain to announce Manjushri and Pu Xian." . This is the master of the old demon and the second demon.

I thought these two monsters were tough enough, but I didn't expect this golden-winged Dapeng carving to be more tough, but it was the uncle of the Tathagata! In Chapter 77, the Monkey King said, Tathagata, if you compare yourself to this, you are still the nephew of the demon.

Not only is there a gap in strength, but the background of this life is far from it. No wonder readers think that this green lion is not worthy to be Dapeng's big brother!

But in my opinion, this is not the case, because in the lion camel bell, strength and background are not the fundamental basis for the ranking of the three demons!

When the Monkey King questioned Xiao Zuifeng, an outsider, Xiao Zuifeng once said that the Green Lion Essence and the Six-Toothed White Elephant had already occupied the Lion Camel Ridge, and the Golden Winged Dapeng sculpture came from a distant lion camel country and belonged to an outsider, which indirectly indicated that the monster empire in Lion Camel Ridge was founded by the Green Lion Essence and the Six-Toothed White Elephant, and the Golden Winged Dapeng sculpture was airborne and had a bad natural reputation.

As a demon country with strict management and perfect system, the lion camel bell already has the basic operation structure of a country, so it is natural to follow the principle of "winning the hearts of the people and winning the world"!

At the same time, this golden-winged Dapeng carved this Lion Camel Ridge not to grab territory, but because he cared about the Tang Priest's meat, but he was afraid that he was not strong enough. This led to an alliance with the green lion and the white elephant. After all, he wants something from others, and naturally he is willing to come second!

The strength of Green Lion Essence is more recognized in Lion Tuoling. In addition, when Xiao introduced the skills of the three monsters to the Monkey King, he mentioned that the green lion essence had fought against hundreds of mountain soldiers alone and swallowed it in one gulp, which shows that the strength of the green lion essence may not be weak, but it was just used by the Monkey King!

In addition, this green lion spirit is not the first time to be a demon. He was ordered by the Tathagata to come down to earth to avenge Manjusri Bodhisattva and push King Wuji into a deep well.

This kind of strength and experience made his little demons admire. On the other hand, when Xiao Zuifeng introduced the Golden-winged Dapeng carving, he only said that Dapeng was very fast, but didn't say much about its strength, so it also shows that this kind of green lion essence is recognized as the first strength in the lion camel bell, and naturally there will be such a ranking!

After all, this lion camel ridge is not a simple organization. It has a small demon army of 47,800 people, completely above a small country. As the top leader, the essence of the Green Lion can be managed in an orderly way, which also shows his ability. On the other hand, with the arrest of Dapeng, the lion camel country, once occupied by the golden wing Dapeng carving, the domestic small demons have also dispersed, which indirectly shows that Dapeng does not have the potential to be a leader.

So in the final analysis, the three goblins in Lion Camel Ridge are just like the leaders in a unit, and they have their own duties and strong backgrounds, so they may not be qualified for the position of top leader. Although soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers, everyone's growth needs precipitation. Don't be hasty, focus on the present, and one day they will make a difference!
