hi, my blog readers. This time I will post about the stealth of an ancient Chinese story. His name is Bai Gu Jing or White Bone Demon. |
| Bai Gu Jing Demon |
Bai gu jing was a demon who desired to eat the flesh of Xuanzang. She
disguised herself as a village girl and offered him and his disciples
poisonous fruits. Due to her strong powers, no one could detect that she
was a demon except Sun Wukong. He hit her with his staff, seemingly
killing her. Sun Wukong tried to explain to everyone what she was but
they didn't believe him. Xuanzang believed she was an innocent and
buried her. Having survived the attack, she dug under ground to recover.
She returned a second time disguised as an elderly woman. She lies to
the group, causing them to believe that the village girl from earlier
was her daughter. Sun Wukong sees through her disguise once again and
kills her. The group is angered at Sun Wukong and continues to not
believe him. She returns a third time as an elderly man who lies about
having a daughter and wife. The group immediately felt guilty as they
believed they are the two women Sun Wukong had slain. She taunts Sun
Wukong into attacking her by using her powers, and only he could hear
her. Having a short-temper, he finally beats her with his staff and
kills the demon, revealing that she was just a skeleton spirit. Sun
Wukong shows this to Xuanzang, who initially believes him, but Zhu Bajie
convinces Xuanzang that Sun Wukong transformed the corpse into a
skeleton to evade the Band-tightening spell. Xuanzang is angry at Sun
Wukong at his reckless slaying and scolds him. He cuts his ties with Sun
Wukong and sends him away. Hurt by his master's words, Sun Wukong
leaves and returns to Water Curtain Cave. In his absence, Xuanzang gets
caught by another demon that Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing could not defeat,
and Zhu Bajie was forced to invite Sun Wukong back to save Xuanzang.
