The nine headed insect is the son-in-law of the Dragon King of all saints and the husband of the princess of all saints in the journey to the West. It is also a monster who went to the enigma after being defeated in the book. He did not die and was not subdued because he was not the mount of an immortal in the sky, but in the end, no one knew where he went. The “species” of the nine headed insect is also quite strange in the book. I wonder what he cultivated into a spirit. Is it a nine headed insect?

In the journey to the west, the four masters and disciples came to the sacrificial country. The Buddhist relic of the Jinguang temple in the sacrificial country was originally on the pagoda in the temple. Therefore, the sacrificial country was regarded as the heavenly capital by the surrounding countries. Several countries pay tribute to the sacrificial country every year. However, one day, there was a bloody rain in the sacrificial country. Since then, the status of the sacrificial country has plummeted, and the pagoda containing Buddhist treasures no longer has the auspicious clouds and auspicious haze of the past. The sacrificial country has changed from “God selected” to “disaster”.

The root of all this lies in the fact that the Buddha treasure relic was stolen, and the person who stole the treasure was the nine headed worm, the son-in-law of the bibotan Wansheng Dragon King. In the TV version of the journey to the west, the emotional disputes among the princess of all saints, the nine headed insect and the white dragon horse are added. However, this is not true in the original work. It is a fictional plot in the TV play, but it may also affect the memory of many people for the original work of the journey to the West.

The nine headed insect stole the Buddha’s treasure relic, and the princess of all saints stole the nine leaf Ganoderma lucidum from the queen mother to warm up the Buddha’s treasure relic. In order to help the king of the sacrificial Kingdom solve this problem, the Tang Monk and his party found the nine headed insect to fight. However, to their surprise, the nine headed insect was not weak, and there was no victory or defeat in the 30 rounds of single fight with Sun Wukong. It can be seen that the nine headed insect is also a powerful role, After all, the mount that can hold the monkey king is usually the mount of an immortal in the sky, and ordinary monsters cannot carry it.

Later, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie joined hands to finally suppress the nine headed insects. After three or five rounds, they let him show his real body. It turned out that he had been nine headed insects. But readers do not know what kind of creature this nine headed insect is? The nine headed insect in the 86 version of journey to the west is a nine headed snake. Later, it was bitten off by the roaring dog of Erlang God, which was found by the monkey king, and then escaped. However, it never appeared again, and no one knows where he went.

However, it is obvious that the interpretation of this kind of nine headed snake is not accurate. It may also be because the conditions at that time were insufficient and it could only be made like this. As for what the nine headed insect was like, there were some descriptions in the original book. After these descriptions of appearance, he was said to be “arrogant and different from ordinary birds”, that is, he had extraordinary bearing and could not be compared with ordinary birds, and he was also compared with Dapeng and crane, These two kinds of insects are not as good as nine headed insects. It can be seen that the original definition of nine headed insects is a kind of bird.

If you look at other documents, you can find similar descriptions, such as Gu Huo bird, ghost car, nine headed Phoenix, etc. the image of the nine headed insect is derived from these myths and legends. From this, you can determine that the nine headed insect is not an insect, nor a snake, but a bird.
