What was Bai's past life like? What happened to her?

Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon is a very famous bridge in The Journey to the West, but Bai Gujing is an incompetent demon. She also has a mysterious origin. She is not a beast or a fairy, but a bone. So what was she before she died?

Bai, also known as "corpse demon" and "Mrs. Bones". This is a female corpse turned into a white bone on Baihuling. Adopt the aura of heaven and earth, from the essence of the sun and the moon to human form. The role in China's classical mythological novel The Journey to the West.

Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon is a well-known story for women and children in China. In The Journey to the West, Tang Priest met one of many beautiful fairies on his way to the Western Heaven. "White" first appeared in the classic The Journey to the West. He is a devil who has been tempered for many years. He is good at change, cunning and familiar with human weaknesses.

The image of an ever-changing woman with fine features is a very famous monster, which can be called a household name in China and even other Asian countries. In TV and movies, Bai mostly appears as a white skeleton.

What is the origin of white?

The prototype of Bai is just a pile of bones, but there is nothing special about it. Generally speaking, human bones can't have such high mana. Of course, Bai is a very weak monster. So what is the origin of white? In fact, it is also worth discussing.

In the Journey to the West, we can find that compared with other monsters, they all have their own abode of fairies and other small demons. It seems that Bai really has no money at all. Of all the pages, only Bai himself became a human figure, and Bai just struggled alone. [Page]

If the Tang Priest is just a demon with low mana, how does Bai know the whereabouts of Tang Priest? In The Journey to the West, when describing Bai, it was written that Bai told his past life after seeing Tang Priest again, knowing that he would come here, and even knowing that he could live forever after eating a piece.

So how did Bai know? She said that her family told her, so we can see that Bai actually has a family. So who is Bai's family?

The white mountain is called Baigu Ling, and she also has the title of Mrs. Baigu, so whose wife is she? Could it be another monster's wife? This is unknown, but the origin of white should not be so simple.

The 27th time in The Journey to the West, Bai was alarmed by a gust of wind brought by the Monkey King and found the Tang Priest. He was pleasantly surprised to say that his nature had arrived. "In recent years, my family told me that the monk from East China had repaired Mahayana. He is the embodiment of the golden cicada, the original body of the tenth practice. Someone eats a piece of his meat and lives long. "

It can be seen that Bai has a family, and the name of "Mrs. Bones" was revealed only after Bai was beaten with three sticks, which also shows that even if his parents are unknown, he still has a husband-ancient men were named after "Mrs."

Let's see where Mrs. Bones' home is. After becoming a monk girl, Mrs. Cooper introduced herself and said, "This mountain is called Baihuling. It is afraid of snakes and wild animals. To the west of it is my home. " Only part of the falsehood is true enough to make people believe. If this sentence is true, we can roughly infer the identity of Mrs. Bone. [Page]

Twenty-eighth sermon, after the Tang Priest drove the Monkey King away, a group of people "took their luggage to the west. After crossing Baihuling, I suddenly saw a forest mountain. " To Huang Paoguai's territory, the Black Pine Forest.

First, the skeleton lady is the skeleton left by Zhenyuanzi's wife when she soared to the fairy. According to the description of Zhenyuanzi's appearance in the original work, he should reach the realm of immortality after middle age. In ancient times, men had to get married before middle age, so Zhenyuanzi had a wife before becoming an immortal.

So the story becomes that Zhen Yuanzi and his wife practice Taoism together, but Zhen Yuanzi is used to it and only wants to be a fairy; His wife took the place of this bone, rose to immortality and left him.

Later, this bone became Bai Gujing with a halo. He often visited Zhenyuanzi and learned from him that Tang Priest was the reincarnation of Golden Cicada. This story is similar to the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon's spirit, and it is also consistent with the bridge of "The Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty turned into a bone" in the mother god.

The second possibility: Mrs. White Bone is the white bone of the maid in Xiangtang. After the lower bound, Kuimu Wolf found this pile of bones, carved the word Mrs. Bone on its back and buried it. The evidence mainly lies in the fact that Shao Fu, the incarnation of Bai, once said, "Master, this mountain is called Baihuling. Snakes are afraid of beasts, and my home is in the west." To the west of Baihuling is Boyue Cave where Huang Paoguai lives.

White is the most pitiful monster.

Bai started from a pile of bones, and his family was really poor and his foundation was weak. At this point, he can't compare with Hong Haier. His parents are evil spirits, and his walking skills were brought out from the womb. [Page]

At the same time, there is no special opportunity and preferential treatment when practicing. Unlike the goldfish essence in Tongtian River, it was enlightened by the aura of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the rabbit playing tricks on medicine was originally the god in Guanghan Palace.

Perhaps because of congenital deficiency, Bai's magic power is very general. She can only clumsily turn into an old man and an old lady to cheat Tang Priest, Pig Bajie and Friar Sand. As soon as she met the Monkey King's critical eye, she immediately betrayed her, turned and ran, and didn't dare to parry.

To make matters worse, Bai is not only weak, but also has no magic weapon. He basically goes into battle with his bare hands. Think about it, if you give her a diamond cut and a dry bag, can the Monkey King easily kill her with a stick?

Bai's three appearances were timid and hurried by, and he didn't touch the edge of Tang Priest when he died. This fate is undoubtedly the most tragic among the monsters in The Journey to the West. Even the three beastmasters, Huli, Luli and Li Yang, were not all cut and cooked by Ye in Chechi country for many years?

One reason is that there is no background. The goldfish essence of Tongtianhe is Guanyin's pet, and the virgin will not get hurt if she eats it. The green ox spirit in Jindou Cave is the mount of Laojun, and it is useless to fight the heavenly soldiers and generals.
