The Past and Present of Zhu Bajie and the Spider Spirits in "Black Myth: Wukong"!
Share
"Black Myth: Wukong" has won the love of people all over the world with its superb game production, unique combat mechanism, beautiful pictures and magnificent Chinese culture. As a Chinese, I am also very proud. At the same time, I also want to introduce more to people around the world about the cultural background behind "Black Myth: Wukong". And today what I introduce to you is the story of Zhu Bajie! That is, the plot of Chapter 4 in the game, the love and hatred between Zhu Bajie and the spider spirits!
In the TV drama version of "Journey to the West", the image Zhu Bajie gives us is cunning, lazy, gluttonous and slippery, and extremely lecherous! But in "Black Myth: Wukong", we see a different Zhu Bajie. At the end of Chapter 4, Zhu Bajie looks up to the sky and sighs. How much helplessness is in that sigh? There are tears in his eyes, but he dare not let the tears flow down. His wife and daughter are clearly behind him, but he dare not look back. Who can know that kind of pain?
Zi Zhu, the only spider spirit who survived on the current journey to fetch scriptures, has been guarding the Pansi Cave all the time, just waiting for Zhu Bajie to come back. Then why is Zi Zhu so infatuated with Zhu Bajie? Is it just because he spared her life back then? Or is it because of that night of romance?
The game tells us the answer! It turns out that it is because of Zi Zhu's previous life. Because her previous life was Chang'e!
"Chang'e". In the original work of "Journey to the West", it does not specifically refer to one person, but a position. The main responsibility is etiquette reception work in the Heavenly Court. All the female immortals in the Moon Palace can hold the position of Chang'e, so they can all be Chang'e! And the god who commands the Moon Palace is called Taiyin Xingjun, that is, the Moon God.
When Zhu Bajie was still Marshal Tianpeng, he especially admired Taiyin Xingjun. On one of his trips to the Moon Palace, he bumped into a maid. This maid was Zi Zhu's previous life. They fell in love at first sight. Zi Zhu told Zhu Bajie that she was "Chang'e". During a certain date, they accidentally discovered the private meeting between the Jade Emperor and the Moon God, and then hurriedly ran away!
Unfortunately, they saw something they shouldn't have seen. Running is useless. So the majestic Marshal Tianpeng was demoted to the mortal world and became a pig demon. And "Chang'e" was demoted to the mortal world and became the spider spirit Zi Zhu!
Under the arrangement of Guanyin, the pig demon became a member of the scripture-seeking team. On the way to Pansi Cave, several spider spirits captured Tang Seng to get married. In the end, they were all killed by Sun Wukong. Only Zi Zhu was let go by Zhu Bajie. He didn't know why he let her go. He just felt that she looked very familiar. He always felt as if he had known her before!
That night they had a romantic time. Although Zhu Bajie didn't recognize "Chang'e", Zi Zhu recognized Zhu Bajie at a glance. So she gave herself to him. From then on, there was only one Zi Zhu left in Pansi Cave. Many years later, she found that she was pregnant with his child. She decided to wait for him to come back here. During this period, she adopted several spider female demons and formed a new force.
I don't know how many years have passed. Although as a demon, her lifespan is longer than that of humans, she is already old. But she still hasn't waited for him. Until one day, a major event happened in the demon world. The once lawless Su Wukong died, and his body was transformed into six root instruments. One of them was in the hands of her senior brother, the Hundred-eyed Demon Lord. She went to ask for it from her senior brother, saying that she wanted to kill that heartless person! Because she knew that he would definitely come to find her!
Sure enough, one day, Zhu Bajie came with the so-called "destined person", saying that he was looking for Sun Wukong's root instrument. She tried her best to catch Zhu Bajie and wanted to fulfill her wish and get married to him. Unfortunately, at the critical moment, the "destined person" arrived and defeated Zi Zhu. She could only escape with her subordinates.
She saw her senior brother, the Hundred-eyed Demon Lord. She told the truth. With a magic weapon on her body, Zhu Bajie couldn't beat her at all. But she couldn't bear to do it, so she ended up in this situation. The Hundred-eyed Demon Lord took away her root instrument. Zi Zhu's days are numbered!
The destined person killed the Hundred-eyed Demon Lord and got the root instrument! At this time, Zi Zhu was already on the verge of death, lying in the grass and flowers. The sky was very blue, the grass was very green, and the flowers were also very beautiful. Unfortunately, her days were numbered! At the last moment of her life, she said to Zhu Bajie: "You are still the same as before!" Then she passed away. From then on, there is no Zi Zhu anymore!
And Zhu Bajie's beloved wife died, but he didn't dare to look back. He clearly knew that it was his own daughter but didn't dare to recognize her because he didn't dare!
What about big brother Sun Wukong? Born as a stone monkey with boundless magic power, the king of Huaguo Mountain, a blessed land. He once led the demon race to attack the heavenly army. What was his end? First, he was suppressed under the Five-Finger Mountain for five hundred years. After that, he followed the scripture-seeking team. After success, he originally wanted to retire, but the higher-ups were not at ease. In the end, he was killed! Look at another powerful demon, the Bull Demon King. How miserable is his end? So he didn't dare to recognize them. He is really afraid!
If you don't look back, you can't love you. If you look back, you will harm you. If it were you, what would you choose?
