In the Journey to the West, several bodhisattvas' mounts have been demons, blocking the way of the Tang Monk and his disciples on their way to the west, among them, Manjushri's mount, the green-haired lion, even went down to the world twice, once in the Wuji Kingdom posing as a king, and once in the Lion and Camel Kingdom, and the white elephant and the roc bird to worship, as a big brother, almost ate the Tang Monk. Here is a question, these two times down as a demon lion is the same one? How many lions does Manjushri keep?

Actually, from all the clues, Wuji Kingdom's green-haired lion spirit and the Lionel Kingdom's green lion are not the same. The evidence is as follows:

1, appearance is different

One eye like a glazed marigold, head like refining sand jar, body three volts of indigo, four paws of nine autumn frost, hitching two ears, a tail broom long

One chiseled teeth and serrated teeth, rounded head aspect, body roar like thunder, eyes like electricity, nose up to the sky, red eyebrow fluttering flames.

So to summarize, the lion of Wu Ji country and the lion of Lion's hump ridge is definitely not the same one!

2, mana, spells are different

The green-haired lion spirit of Wu Ji Kingdom has very low magical power and can only pass a few moves under Sun Wukong, even Piggy can take him down at any time.

And the Green Lion of the Lion's Hump, with his powerful magical power, was able to scare off 100,000 heavenly soldiers with a single bite. And he is also the eldest of the three brothers, his ability is absolutely great.

And the Green Lion Spirit of Wuji Kingdom is good at the art of change, turning into the king of Wuji Kingdom for so many years without being recognized, and after turning into the Tang Monk, even the fiery eyes of Sun Wukong could not see it.

And the Green Shizi of the Lion's Hump is good at the art of devouring, and when he opens his bloody mouth, he can swallow even 100,000 heavenly soldiers.

3, the purpose of the lower world is different

The book said, Manjushri was sent by Rudra to come to the degree of the king of Wu Ji to return to the west, the early realization of the golden body of Lohan. Unexpectedly, he was treated as a madman, tied up with a rope, and sent to the Royal Water River, where he was immersed for three days and three nights. He was saved by the Six Armors of the Golden Body, and was sent to Rulai.

Afterward, the Buddha made Manjushri's mount, the green-haired lion, go down to punish the king of Wuqi Kingdom, and pushed him into the well here, dipping him for three years to avenge Manjushri's hatred of the three days of flooding. In other words, the green-haired lion of Wu Ji was sent by the Buddha to punish the king of Wu Ji, and it was "justified".

And the lion of the Lion and Hunchback Kingdom, obviously, is his own escape, but also with the white elephant and the roc bird, the purpose is to eat the meat of the Longevity Monk, and in the end, steal the chicken failed to etch the rice, all of them were taken back.

4, good and evil different

Wuqi country of the green lion, down to pretend to be the king, not only did not make a mess, but also the Wuqi country of the governance of the well-organized, so that the original king are ashamed of a lot, can be said to be a good thing of the green lion.

And the lion of the Lion and Hunchback Kingdom, occupying the mountain as the king, for the wrongdoing, but also want to eat the meat of the Longevity Monk, his third brother, Roc Bird, the original Lion and Hunchback Kingdom of the subjects all ate, himself when the king, his own estimation can not get off the hook.

So how many lions did Manjushri keep? and how many lions did Manjushri keep?

It is said that Manjushri kept a pride of lions, and the chapter on the Yellow Wind Monster says that the Manjushri lions walked the pride. And from the point of view of the green lion being gelded, if there is only one lion, Manjushri did not have to geld it, suggesting that there are both male and female lions in his group, so he had to geld the male one to avoid the green lion going into heat.
