White Bone Demon, "Journey to the West" in the Tang Monk in the West on the way to fetch the scriptures to meet one of the many beautiful demon, she as a kind of demon is "corpse demon", the original Sun Wukong reveals her true nature is a zombie.

The "White Bone Demon" first appeared in the classical masterpiece "Journey to the West," and is a demon who has become a spirit for many years, specializing in change, cunning and understanding of human weaknesses. The changed woman's image is vivid and charming, and is a very famous demon, which can be called a household name in China and even other Asian countries.

The White Bone Demon appeared in the 27th episode of the series, "The Corpse Demon and the Sacred Monk Chase the Monkey King". The four members of the Tang Monk's teacher and disciples went to the White Tiger Mountain, the Tang Monk was tired and dismounted from his horse to take a rest. Because there are no people around, the Monkey King only found a very far place to pick peaches.

The White Bone Monk found the Tang Monk and wanted to eat his flesh to live forever. So she turned into a young woman who went to deliver food to her husband and came to the Tang Monk, trying to trick him. At this time by the Monkey King came back to see, he used his fiery eyes to see that this is the white bone spirit change, so a stick to death. But the White Bone Spirit used the method of disembowelment to leave a corpse and ran away.

The Tang monk blamed Sun Wukong for killing the man, and neither he nor Pigsy believed he had killed the demon. So the Tang Monk recited the Tightrope Incantation and the Monkey King had to beg for mercy.

After the four of them went on the road again, the White Bone Demon turned into an old woman, claiming that they killed her daughter, but was again recognized by the Monkey King and killed by a stick, the White Bone Demon left a fake body and ran away, but the Tang Monk didn't believe that it was a demon, so he recited the incantation of tightening the bands again, and the Sun Wukong rolled on the ground in pain, and only after the Piggy's eight preludes and the monk's begging did they spare the Sun Wukong.

But the white bone spirit is still not willing to change into an old man, claiming that they killed his partner and daughter, and was recognized by the Monkey King, a stick to death and now the original form of the white bone skeleton, engraved with the four words of the white bone lady.

While the Tang Monk believed in Sun Wukong's explanation, he was deceived by Piggy's claim that Sun Wukong intentionally changed the people he killed into white bones in order to stop the Tang Monk from reciting the tight-banded incantation.

The Tang Monk was determined not to believe that Sun Wukong killed a demon, and decided to let Sun Wukong leave. The Monkey King has no choice but to reluctantly leave to go back to Mount Huaguo, and instructs Piggy and Sha Monk to take care of the Tang Monk.

After the Wukong left, in the 30th episode, the yellow-robed monster turned the Tang Monk into a tiger, and later the Wukong returned and saved the Tang Monk.

"Poor" White Bone Demon:

The Three Strikes of the White Bone Demon is probably one of the best passages in Journey to the West, and it has always been criticized over and over again by people over the centuries. Many voices are criticizing the Tang Monk for his old age and mediocrity, and many more are calling for the Monkey King. But think carefully, the seemingly horrible, as a typical public display of the white bone spirit is actually quite "poor".

One of the reasons for the "pity" is that it is hard to practice. The white bone spirit started just a bunch of white bones, can be described as low birth, the bottom of the thin, in this point than the red child, people's parents themselves is a very deep Taoist devils, the clouds of kung fu is brought from the womb.

At the same time, there is no special opportunity and preferential treatment when practicing, unlike the goldfish spirit in the Tongtian River, which was dipped in the aura of the Goddess of Mercy, and the rabbit pounding medicine, which was originally a deity in the Guanghan Palace. Some people say that this guy is not also absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, sun and moon?

But you open the "Journey to the West" to see, this fine that monster which did not absorb the essence of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, he is like as long as people live need to drink and eat, is the most basic conditions.

The second reason for the "poor" is that the power is not good. May be congenital insufficiency of the reason, the white bone spirit of the magic power is very general, she can only clumsily change an old man, old lady to cheat the Tang Monk, Piggy Bank, Sha Monk, a few of them, a meet the Monkey King's fiery eyes immediately exposed, and exposed to the head after the run, a little bit of not dare to fight.

Unlike other monsters, no matter how to resist for a while, especially the Bull Demon King, not only and Sun Monkey a fight is hundreds of rounds, and become a piggyback can escape the eyes of the fire, hard to banana fan cheat back.

Worse yet, the White Bone Monkey not only has poor strength of his own, but also doesn't have a single magic weapon, basically going into battle with his bare hands. Imagine, if the diamond facet, Qiankun bag or something to give her use, then the Monkey King can still easily kill her with a stick?

"Poor" reason three, the end of the tragic. Bone spirit's three appearances are in a hurry to shrink the head, and finally even the Tang Monk's edge did not touch the life of the dead, this end in the Journey to the West in the demon is undoubtedly the most tragic, even if it is the tiger force deer force goat force the three beasts of the masters, in the cut was gouged out by the cooking is not in the Chechi country as a master for many years before it?

The reason for this, one is no background, Tongtian River's goldfish spirit is Guanyin's pet, ate the boy and girl will not be how the Golden Doodle Cave's green cow spirit is the mount of the Supreme Lord, hit the heavenly soldiers and generals for nothing, black-faced roc sculpture root is harder, on the basis of seniority, such as the Buddha tube he called uncle, and who can take how he is.

The most opportunistic is the bottomless pit of the rat, private tablet to his godfather and godbrother Li Jing and Nezha burned a few low-quality incense, actually also get their shelter and escape a death. In contrast, where did the White Bone Demon get these conditions? The other is that she is not a natural favorite, see the other people's watery red child and simple black bear monster, can not be a demon for people to manage money and protect the yard.

The white bone spirit is so eerie that no one will take care of it, even if it is the Goddess of Mercy, will not be able to extend the hand of mercy. Combining the above two points, the white bone spirit was killed sharply and as a typical public display, obviously is destiny.

Listing so many reasons, do you think I am really pitying the white bone spirit? Of course not. The White Bone Demon walks the path of evil and deserves to be killed. However, according to this standard and principle, the Goldfish Spirit, the Green Ox Spirit and the Old Monster with Yellow Eyebrows should also be killed one by one, but for various reasons, they all escaped. This point, really worth our deep thought.
