A summary of the original contents of the lion camel bell in Journey to the West. It's not just darkness.

Speaking of the story about the lion camel bell in Journey to the West, we have told it many times. Everyone knows that it is really horrible, but I have always seen it horrible, but where is it really horrible? In fact, the real horror lies in the original. Nowadays, TV plays are castrated, so most people have only heard of them. So recently, someone asked, I want to see the original content of Journey to the West and see where the horror lies. I collected it for you below. Let's analyze it together!

Recently, I heard a friend talk about the original Journey to the West, only to find myself cheated by TV series for so many years. In one episode, four apprentices passed through the lion camel ridge. In the original book, it was a terrible place, and even Taibai Venus advised them to make a detour and not to step into this magical area. Occupied by three demon kings, namely the green lion, the white elephant and the Dapeng.

The lion camel bell is the monster force with the most data in the whole journey to the west, and its territory is also the highest level. It was in charge of the green lion and white elephant, and later Dapeng became the common property of the three demons.

The main building of Lion Camel Ridge is Lion Camel Cave, and the building structure is:

Skeletons are like mountains, and bones are like forests. Human hair is smashed into felt and human skin is rotten into mud and dust. People's tendons are wrapped around trees, and they are as yellow as silver. A sea of blood, it really stinks. The small demon in the east cuts the flesh with the living; Splash demons in the west and cook fresh human flesh. If the Monkey King had not been so brave, the second ordinary man would not have entered his door.

——

After a while, when I walked into the gate on the second floor, ah! This place is different from the outside: elegant, beautiful and broad; There are Yao grass and fairy flowers around, and bamboo before and after. After seven or eight miles, I arrived at the door of the third floor. There are three old demons sitting on the place where they peek. It's ugly.

——

The entrance of the cave is divided into three layers.

First floor: human flesh processing factory

Second floor: Garden, seven or eight miles long.

The third floor: the base camp, where 30,000 old demons and 30,000 little demons live.

There are more than ten thousand goblins guarding the gate.

——

Social form:

Below those two, there are hundreds of leaders, all well-dressed, neatly arranged, majestic and high-spirited.

——

Five thousand goblins in Nanling, five thousand in Beiling, ten thousand in Dongkou and ten thousand in Xikou. Four or five thousand patrolmen and ten thousand doormen. There are countless people burning fire and chopping wood: 47,800 people in all. These are all named and branded, and they only eat people here.

——

Each lion camel bell has an ID card, with hundreds of leaders, a total of 47,800 goblins, and a clear division of labor.

"I can't turn around," said the monkey area. "This mountain road is more than 800 miles, and I don't know how many miles around it. How should I turn around? "

Lion Tuoling is 800 miles in a straight line. I don't know how many roads there are around, so I don't know how far it is.

The Monkey King's critical eyes can see thousands of miles away:

I have a keen eye. I often see thousands of miles away during the day, and I know it's unlucky. You can still see three or five hundred miles at night.

But I can't see the edge, so the lion camel ridge goes straight for more than 800 miles and crosses more than 1,000 miles, covering an area of at least 800,000 square miles.

Lion camel country:

Lion camel country is a direct unit of Dapeng, a city called the country;

1. Small drill air duct: "My eldest brother and my second son have lived in the lion camel cave in lion camel ridge for a long time. The three kings don't live here. His former residence is 400 miles west of here. There is a city in that carriage, called Lion Camel Country. Five hundred years ago, he ate the king and civil and military bureaucrats of this city, and all the men and women in the city were eaten by him, so he took his country away from the world. There are monsters everywhere now.

2. The third monster said, "Eight people carry it and eight people drink it. My brother is with me. Give him a ride. This is my city, more than 400 miles to the west. I have my own team to meet. If I go to the edge of the city, I can't take care of my master and apprentice from beginning to end.

The cunning rabbit opens the door to buy and sell, and the wild boar bears the burden for a living. It used to be the kingdom of China the year before last, but now it has become the city of tigers and wolves.

The Great Sage raised an iron bar, only a mile away from the sedan chair. When he saw the city, he was startled.

I fell and couldn't afford to lose. You said he was just so bold. How can you think this is a bluff? I see many evil souls in that city. ................................................................................................................................................

Love, please ask the Buddha to come with you, and I will see this city soon. Monkey said, "Tathagata, it is the lion camel country that emits black gas."

How big can an ideal city be? Compare the cities with the biggest background in that era:

Chang 'an City in Tang Dynasty was 35.56 kilometers long, with an area of about 87.27 square kilometers, which was 9.7 times that of Xi 'an City Wall today, 2.4 times that of Chang 'an City in Western Han Dynasty, 1.7 times that of Beijing in Ming and Qing Dynasties, 7 times that of Constantinople in 447 AD, and 6.2 times that of Baghdad and ancient Rome in 800 AD. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Chang 'an was the largest and most prosperous international city at that time.

How many monsters are there in the lion camel country?

Small drill air duct: "My king and my second king have lived in the lion camel cave in Lion Camel Ridge for a long time. The three kings don't live here. His original residence is 400 miles west of here. There is a city in that carriage, called Lion Camel Country.

————

Those demons are all of one mind, surrounded by guards, and they are attentive in the morning and evening. Fasting for 30 miles, fasting for 50 miles, please take a rest as soon as possible, and the roads are clean and tidy. Three meals a day, satisfied; A good night's rest is good for you. More than 400 miles to the west, suddenly I saw that the city was very close.

————

This place is ambiguous, that is, it can be understood as "Lion Camel Country is 400 miles behind Lion Camel Ridge", it can also be understood as "Lion Camel Country is 400 miles away from Xiaozuifeng/Lion Camel Cave", and "400 miles away" can also be understood as "it is still 400 miles away from Lion Camel Ridge".

It's easy to understand mistakes without looking carefully, so which one is correct?

——

Three demons and three monks, one enemy and one enemy, fought hard on that hill. But the sixteen little devils did as they were told, each with its own function: they robbed the white horse's luggage, carried Sanzang, and sedan chair went to the edge of the city.

——

From here, the Tang Priest can't be too far away from the lion camel country. As can be seen from the front, the non-stop night is only 120 Li. When escorting the Tang Priest over the mountain, it is "Please take a rest before it is too late" and "Good night, good shelter". Walking 400 miles in four days is just right, which is obviously more reasonable.

Then come to a conclusion:

Lion camel ridge includes lion camel country.

After reading such a horrible original, can you still look directly at Journey to the West?
