Monkey King, Monkey King, was born as a stone monkey. He was born from the essence of heaven and earth, so naturally he has no relatives. But although Lao Sun is a natural-born brother, he doesn't have the usual problems of being withdrawn and autistic as an only child. Instead, he loves to join in the fun and has very strong communication skills. As soon as he was born, he traveled across the ocean alone to the Xianyue Sanxing Cave in Fangcun Mountain, Lingtai. With a few words, Patriarch Bodhi accepted him as his beloved disciple, gave him a name, and taught him all kinds of magic. After his debut, he became the king of Huaguo Mountain, visited heroes and made many wise friends. I met seven brothers, including the Bull Demon King, the Jiao Demon King, the Peng Demon King, the Lion and Camel King, the Macaque King, the Tamarin King, and even his own Monkey King. Later, he felt that there was no future as a robber, so he developed upwards and passed through Using various methods of beating and intimidation, the Jade Emperor was forced to appoint him as the supreme official of the Monkey King, the Monkey King. During the free time of the Heavenly Palace, he would visit friends in the palace and make friends. When meeting the Three Pure Ones, he is called "Lao"; when meeting the Four Emperors, he is called "Your Majesty". With the nine obsidian stars, the five generals, the twenty-eight constellations, the four heavenly kings, the twelve Yuan Chens, the five elders of the five directions, the universal stars, and the gods of rivers and lakes, they all treat each other as brothers and call each other. It can be said that there is no one in the world who doesn’t know Sun. Later, he traveled over mountains and rivers to protect Tang Monk on his way to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and to slay monsters and eliminate monsters. These friends were indispensable for his help. It is really easier to travel when you have more friends.
Sun Wukong has a lot of friends, and he has acquaintances all over the world of arsenic and demons, but acquaintances are not necessarily friends, and friends may not be true friends. As for his best and most reliable friends, I think they are very It is none other than the Dragon King of the Four Seas. Why is it the Dragon King and not someone else? Let me explain.
Let’s first talk about the seven sworn brothers in Huaguoshan in the early years. These seven brothers were sworn to Jinlan, lived and died together, led the demon world, and shocked the heavens. What a glorious scene they were back then. But adversity has always meant a man's heart. Later, Sun Wukong angered the Jade Emperor and sent the four heavenly kings to cooperate with King Li and Prince Nezha. They led a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals to surround and suppress Huaguo Mountain with Erlang God. Several of Lao Sun's sworn brothers There was no trace of Sun Wukong until he was trapped under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years. He was hungry for iron pills and drank copper juice all day long. His brothers did not even give him a meal. They all live their own comfortable lives. The eldest brother, the Bull Demon King, set an example. He first went to Cuiyun Mountain to marry Princess Iron Fan and gave birth to a child, Red Boy, to inherit the demon industry. After a few days, he felt that the flowers at home did not have the fragrance of wild flowers, so he fell in love with a girl three thousand miles away. The jade-faced vixen from Moyun Cave in Jilei Mountain is fortunate that the Bull Demon King is also very capable. His ability to soar into the clouds and ride on the mist is not inferior to that of the seventh Sun Wukong. Otherwise, he would have to travel six thousand miles back and forth and have to deal with two wives who are like gods. No matter how advanced he is, It’s too much to bear. As for his brother Sun Wukong, he has long forgotten it. After Lao Sun converted to Buddhism and saved Tang Monk, the Bull Demon King even looked down on his former ascetic brother. He was so hot that he couldn't even borrow a fan to fan himself. He even used knives and guns without any regard for the sworn brotherhood.
After Sun Wukong followed Tang Seng, the four closest to him on weekdays were of course the master and his apprentice. But Tang Seng is a master, not a friend. Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng are junior brothers. Of course, fellow juniors can become friends. However, Sun Wukong and these two people have different personalities. He mostly teases Zhu Bajie. Of course, Zhu Bajie will also try to put on his brother's shoes when the opportunity arises. Sha Monk has a good temperament, but he is cautious in his words and deeds. His temper is very different from that of Lao Sun, and it is impossible for him to become a confidant. friend.
On the contrary, it is the Dragon King of the Four Seas. Although his age, status, and family wealth are very different from Sun Wukong, he always acts as a friend when he needs help. In Journey to the West, it is written that when Sun Wukong started his career, not only was he a handy weapon, the Golden Cudgel, but also the robes he wore were given by the Dragon King of the Four Seas. Although it was given by Sun Qiang at his request, they were all new acquaintances, and the Dragon King was so generous with his actions. The sword was indispensable as a gift to a strong man. Moreover, when Sun Wukong was captured later, the Dragon King took advantage of the situation and took the opportunity to retrieve the golden hoop and other things, leaving a good impression on Sun Wukong - the Dragon King is a good friend! Later, on the way to seek scriptures, Sun Wukong encountered a big disaster or a minor trouble. The first thing he thought of was the Dragon King. He would rather go to the Dragon Palace to have a cup of tea than go back to his hometown of Huaguoshan, even though his water quality was not very good.
In Chapter 14 of Journey to the West, the first trouble Sun Wukong encountered when he escaped from the Five Elements Mountain was solved by the Dragon King. It turns out that Sun Wukong first followed Tang Monk and killed a few thieves. Tang Monk nagged him endlessly, so he ran away in anger, but did not return to Huaguo Mountain. He somersaulted to the East Sea.
Holding the cloud head, he separated the water channel and went to the Crystal Palace to find Ao Guang. In Ao Guang's palace, he saw the painting "Entering the Bridge on the Bridge". Ao Guang took the opportunity to tell him the story of Zhang Liang's three steps on the bridge during the Han Dynasty. Advising him not to be at ease and to miss his future, the Dragon King is indeed a good teacher and friend. He used ancient metaphors to describe the present, and his words made Sun Wukong change his mind, and the effect was ten times better than that of Tang Monk.
Later, the battle against Red Boy in Huoyun Cave in Dry Pine Stream in Guohao Mountain, the battle between dragons in Heishui River, the bet between Che Chiguo and Huli Daxian, the masters and apprentices of Shituocheng were captured, and Zhu Ziguo was The king diagnoses diseases, Fengxian County prays for rain for the people, and Jinping Prefecture watches lanterns on the first night, all the Dragon King brothers help. The Dragon King of the Four Seas has a low status among the gods in Journey to the West, and his magic power is not strong, but he is an outsider on the way to learn the scriptures. But he is the one who helps the most. For Sun Wukong, he gives money when he is rich, gives out forcefully, responds to requests without asking for anything in return, and is as proud as Sun Wukong. Even if he doesn't say it, he must think that the Dragon King is his reliable friend.
