If we were to count the foodies in the classic "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong should be one of them.

I think back then, Sun Wukong had a big peach party, "I took some delicacies and delicacies, walked into the corridor, put a vat, next to an urn, drank as much as I could," which shows the Monkey King's foodie mentality.

of proliferation.

After the peach party, he seemed to start to let himself go completely. He ran to Laojun's private club, Tusita Palace, and saw no one inside. "Beside the Dan stove, there was a fire in the stove. There were five gourds placed on the left and right of the stove.

It was full of refined golden elixirs. He poured out all the gourd and ate it, just like eating fried beans." When Laojun learned about this later, he was so distressed that he almost suffered from angina.

Perhaps because his appearance was too ugly, Sun Wukong was finally punished by the Jade Emperor. Hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers joined Erlang God and the Buddha of the West in a series of rounds of battles to encircle and kill him.

The ending waiting for him is to be trapped under the Five Elements Mountain.

2. Compared with Sun Wukong, the second junior brother Zhu Bajie should have a bigger reputation as a foodie.

His fat head and big ears seem to satisfy all people's exaggerated imaginations about foodies.

Bajie's father-in-law, Gao Laoyuanwai, was the first to jump out and complain, "He has a very large intestine. He has to eat three to five buckets of rice in one meal. For breakfast, he has to eat hundreds of sesame seed pancakes. I am so happy that I still eat vegetarian food. If I eat it again,

Eating meat and wine means that Lao Zhuo and his family property and land will be eaten up in less than half a year."

The Gao family, who had a large family and a great business, almost went into poverty.

After converting to Buddhism, Zhu Bajie's love for food has not diminished at all.

Whenever there is a large-scale vegetarian monk activity along the way, he will eat and drink from the sea.

For example, in chapter ninety-three of the original work, a Buddhist scripture-seeking group stayed at Bujin Temple. “The temple heard that Buddhist monks from the Tang Dynasty had arrived in the East. All the temples, big and small, were here, regardless of whether they were permanent residents, hanging couches, elders, or traveling children.

See. After tea, the abbot was still busy reciting verses, and the steamed buns, vegetarian food, and noodle soup were all being poured.

, all those who like to play are watching Bajie eating. "Look, everyone has fun watching Bajie eating.

Just imagine if this guy were alive today, he would definitely be able to make a live show called "Big Eater" that would become very popular.

It is precisely because of the hard-to-change foodie nature that Zhu Bajie also caused some troubles.

For example, when the Buddhist scripture collection group passed through Wuzhuang Temple, it was because Zhu Bajie was greedy for ginseng fruit and encouraged his senior brother to become a gentleman in Liang Shang. This caused many troubles and the Buddhist scripture collection mission was almost forcibly stopped by the Immortal Zhenyuan.

Thirdly, I am afraid that Wukong or Bajie, the foodie king in the myth of Journey to the West, are not qualified enough.

At this time, the Dapeng spirit will make its debut.

Dapengjing's pursuit of delicious food seems to be innate, and she especially likes to eat people.

When describing the origin of the Lion and Camel Kingdom, the original book stated, "Five hundred years ago, it devoured the king and civil and military officials of this city, as well as all the men and women in the city."

It can be seen that it is a big demon who eats people without blinking an eye.

It is worth mentioning that the Peacock King, the sister of the same mother, is not inferior to it in cannibalism. "When he was born, he was the most vicious. He could eat people and suck them up in one bite for forty-five miles." He even lived in the snow-capped mountains at that time.

The practicing Tathagata Buddha almost became a meal on the plate.

The Dapeng spirit not only eats people, but also eats them tastefully and plays tricks.

Especially when it comes to the disposal of Tang Monk's meat. The two fairies, the green lion and the white elephant, were eager to eat him alive. The Dapeng Fairy quickly stopped him with a smile, "Don't scare Tang Monk. Tang Monk is not allowed to threaten. If you scare him, your meat will be sour."

, and listed a relatively detailed list of food: "It must be waited for when Tianyin is free", "To eat Tang Monk, you must steam the whole living person", "(After steaming) take it out, prepare it neatly, blow and beat it carefully

"You can only eat it if you want." This should be its conclusion based on its many years of experience in eating people.

If Sun Wukong hadn't been so quick to come to his senses and asked the Dragon King of the North Sea to help him, Tang Seng could have been protected by the air-conditioning.

This fat and white monk from the Tang Dynasty may have really become steamed rice noodles and meat.

What the four great roc spirits are best at is not cannibalism.

"The Chang Agama Sutra" records, "The dragons suffer three kinds of suffering: first, the body is burned by the hot wind and hot sand; second, the treasures and ornaments are lost due to evil storms; third, they are swallowed by the golden-winged bird."

The golden-winged bird in the scriptures is the nickname of the Dapeng spirit, which shows that it likes to eat dragons the most.

"Zengyi Agama Sutra" also records that Garuda can be roughly divided into four types: oviparous, viviparous, wet-born, and metamorphic. Dragons can also be divided into four types: oviparous, viviparous, wet-born, and metamorphic.

Garuda eats dragons in the sea, and there are actually some special rules. That is, oviparous birds can only eat egg-laying dragons, viviparous birds can only eat egg-laying and viviparous dragons, wet-born birds can only eat oviparous, viviparous and wet-born dragons, and metamorphic birds are the highest level.

, all dragons can take it all.

The Dapeng spirit in "Journey to the West" is undoubtedly the best among the transformed birds, and was transformed from the ancient Phoenix King.

The method of catching dragons is also introduced in the scriptures, "Go up to the Iron-Cha tree and throw yourself into the sea. All the dragons can catch it. Before the sea water closes, go back to the Iron-Cha tree."

As for how to eat it, it is also very particular. "When you want to eat a dragon, swallow it from the tail first." It can be seen that in the mythical world, the Dapeng spirit can be said to be the natural enemy of the dragon family.

In "Journey to the West", the Tathagata took great pains to accept the Dapeng spirit as his protector. I am afraid that he also considered it to check and balance the dragon clan.
