The [Nine-headed Insect] in "Journey to the West" is based on the [Ghost Car] monster, which has nothing to do with the god [Nine Phoenix] in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". First of all, there are two versions of the "ghost car": "Yin Yun**":

Zhou Gong lived in the east, smelled this bird, ordered the court to shoot it, one of the blood, and there were still nine songs. "Ridge Table Record Difference": "Love into others, shimmering people's soul."

Or clouds: Nine songs have been used by dogs to bite one of them often dripping blood, and the house of blood drops is to blame. "I was shot off the head by [Ting's].

It was bitten down by a dog. The common denominator is that ten heads become nine heads, and then there is a section where blood drips from the severed head. The hydra is another name for the ghost car.

Hope it helps!

The nine-headed insect in "Journey to the West" is indeed relatively large, because it is inextricably linked with the primordial Tianzun, but if you want to say that even the Jade Emperor does not dare to provoke, I think it is an exaggeration. Although the Primordial Tianzun is indeed relatively powerful, of course, if you consider it from the perspective of the system, the Primordial Tianzun is also under the jurisdiction of the Jade Emperor.

The nine-headed insect did not kill, at most it was a crime of theft, or an accomplice, and the main culprit was the Old Dragon King of All Saints! Looking at the mount of the Bodhisattva, the stars of the heavenly court, and the boy of the gods on the way to the west, which one is not more guilty than the nine-headed insect? Haven't you gotten out of it all?

When Sun Wukong thinks of this, he will think of the tragic past, and think of the chic days with his eldest brother, the Bull Demon King, so it is not difficult to understand by letting go of the nine-headed worm.

It's just for the sake of the aquarium.

The monkey took the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Dragon Palace, and he was always reluctant to go, and it was actually understandable that he released water to the water tribe.

Furthermore, the relationship between the Water Tribes and the Celestial Realm has always been poor, and they are natural allies of the monkeys.

for the sin of this monster is not unto death.

It may be that the fate has been decided.

Because the nine-headed insect is the son-in-law of the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King of Bibotan, this Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King is not a real dragon king, but a dragon who has become a spirit and claims to be the king. Originally, they had nothing to do with Tang monks and apprentices, and they didn't think about risking anything to eat Tang monk meat, but this nine-headed insect stole the jewels on the pagoda of Jinguang Temple in the Sai Kingdom, that is, relics, and it happened that Tang monks and apprentices passed by here, so they were ready to take care of this matter.

With the exploration of the master and apprentice all the way, found the nine-headed worm, the nine-headed worm was not to be outdone, and fought with Sun Wukong for more than 30 rounds without winning or losing, and it happened that Erlang God and the Roaring Sky Dog happened to pass here, helped Sun Wukong, and jointly defeated the so-called Halloween Dragon King and the nine-headed worm in Bibotan, and the nine-headed worm was bitten off by the Roaring Sky Dog, and fled in embarrassment.

This nine-headed insect is not an ordinary species, it does not belong to any kind of common creature in the world, he is one of the rare five insects of the feather insect, and it is also a very spiritual creature, in this regard, it is somewhat similar to Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong will inevitably think of himself when he sees this nine-headed insect. Therefore, Sun Wukong may have a feeling of sympathy, and he did not kill them all. And after the nine-headed worm escaped, it hid and did not show up for a long time.

When Wutian appeared, he chose to help Wutian do things and killed Xiao Bailong's brother, but was later killed by Xiao Bailong, and the end was more tragic.

, the reason why Sun Wukong wants to let the hydra survive is because the escape route of the nine-headed insect shocked Sun Wukong.

The 63rd roundThe hydra is from the 63rd chapter of Journey to the West. Hold a crescent spatula in your hand. This is a nine-headed bird (feather insect), the son-in-law of the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King of Bibotan.

The prototype is the mythical and legendary nine-headed bloodworm (also known as the ghost car, Guhou bird). Because of the bloody rain to steal the Buddha treasure relics of the Sai Country, he clashed with the Monkey King brothers.

The nine-headed insect and Sun Wukong fought for 30 rounds without winning or losing, and later faced the joint efforts of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, he couldn't stand five or seven rounds, and he couldn't stop the front and back rounds, so he showed his true appearance, it was a nine-headed insect, and he captured Zhu Bajie, and his image was very evil, and he was afraid of killing people when he saw this figure.

After being broken by Erlang God's wings, and after being bitten off a head by the Heavenly Dog, he was able to survive because of Sun Wukong's intercession, and fled to Beihai without a trace. (Corresponding to the nine-headed bloodworm dripping blood dripping place was devoured by the tengu**.) ）
