In the whole Journey to the West, the most simple and innocent goblins are considered to be two small goblins in the lotus hole, one is called the fine ghost, and the other is called the smart insect. Today, the editor of China Story Network will give you a detailed introduction.
Fine ghosts and clever insects were ordered to take purple gold red gourd and white jade bottle to collect Monkey King after Monkey King was pressed down the mountain by King Silver Horn. As a result, the two demons not only failed to catch Monkey King, but also were cheated by him. But Silver Horn did not punish the subtle ghosts and clever insects, but let them go easily. Why did the Silver Horn not punish the two demons for their incompetence
1? Be ordered to capture Monkey King
Fine ghosts and clever insects come with babies, and there is a glow around them. When Sun Wukong saw it, he asked the mountain god and the land what they were? The two men answered that the demon’s treasure was shining, and they were afraid that the demon would come to catch the Great Sage. Sun Wukong learned from the mountain gods and the land that the demons like Taoist alchemists, so he dismissed them and turned them into Taoists to deal with the demons.
The subtle ghost and the clever worm stumbled over Sun Wukong, who was pretending to be a Taoist, when they came halfway. Sun Wukong then lied that he was an immortal of Penglai Mountain and wanted to make a good man immortal. The subtle ghost and the clever worm believed that they were true, so they hurriedly apologized and wanted to go with him to become immortals. The Monkey King asked them about their origins, and they answered, “From the Lotus Cave, I was ordered to catch Monkey King.”. The Monkey King said that he also hated the Monkey Sun and wanted to help them catch him. After listening, the two of them even said no, and the baby with them also said how to use it.
2? Baby cheated
The Monkey King asked the Fine Ghost and the Smart Worm to come and watch the Purple Golden Red Gourd and the Sheep Fat Jade Bottle. He was ready to take them away directly, but he was afraid of damaging his reputation, so he turned into a giant gourd, pretending to be a treasure, and presented it to them. The two men asked Monkey King what’s the use of such a big gourd, and Monkey King replied that it can hold heaven. They didn’t believe it. They said that if they could really hold the sky, they would exchange two treasures for a big gourd. The Monkey King promised, pretended to be a model and recited the incantation, ready to pretend to be heaven. When Tianting heard that, he sent Nezha to cover the sun, moon and stars, pretending to put the sky in a gourd, to help Monkey King deceive the two demons.
Seeing that it was too dark to see people around, the subtle ghost and clever worm asked Sun Wukong what was wrong. He replied that the sun, moon and stars in the sky had been put into the gourd, so it was dark. The two demons were afraid and asked Sun Wukong where he was? Sun Wukong said casually, “It’s right beside you two. I’ve already taken you two to the Bohai Sea. Don’t move around, or you’ll fall into the sea.”. The two demons were afraid, so they let Monkey King set the sky free. Sun Wukong then asked Nezha to stop covering the sun, moon and stars, and the surroundings suddenly became bright again.
3? Escape a disaster
Delicate ghost and clever insect happily handed the purple gold red gourd and the pure bottle of sheepskin jade to Monkey King and replaced it with a big gourd. Sun Wukong was worried about the two demons’ regret and wanted to write a contract as evidence. The two demon disliked the trouble and said no to it. When Monkey King refused to obey, the two demons quickly swore that if they repented, they would be plagued all the year round. Sun Wukong then left and went to heaven to thank him. Seeing that the Monkey King suddenly disappeared, the clever worm complained that the Monkey King was dishonest and did not take them to become immortals. The fine ghost said that we took advantage of it. The immortal must not be far away. Why don’t we take a big gourd and try it. Then the two demons found that they were cheated by Monkey King, and even the big gourd was taken away by Monkey King.
Fine ghosts and clever insects were so scared that they didn’t know how to go back to reply to King Silver Horn. They were afraid that they would die if they went back. The subtle ghost suggested to the clever insect, “The two kings are best for you at ordinary times. I blame you all. If you can live, it’s best. If you can’t, you’ll die.” The clever insect nodded and agreed, and decided to gamble once. Sun Wukong then turned into a fly and followed the two demons to the Lotus Cave. The two demons then reported to the King of Golden Horn and the King of Silver Horn that the treasure had been cheated. The golden horn and silver horn immediately guessed that the treasure was cheated by Monkey King, so they shouted at the two demons to leave.
4? Why does Silver Horn not punish fine ghosts and clever worms
The two demons were shocked and said: “What’s so good? What’s so good? At that time, the king gave us the treasure and taught him how to take it. Today, he has never taken it, and even the treasure has disappeared. How dare we answer? This meal was straight to death. How good! How good!” Fine ghost said: “Don’t go, go back. The two kings usually look at you very well, so I will push a word on you. If he is willing to make do, he will save his life; if he can’t say anything, he will be killed, and he is still here. Don’t lose both ends. Come on, go on.” Second, humanity: “Lucky, Lucky, I have never fought or scolded, but I will forgive. (Journey to the West, 34th chapter)
The old devil fought with the Great Sage for twenty rounds, and the result was even. He pointed at the tip of the sword and shouted, “Little monsters come together.” The more than three hundred spirits gathered together and surrounded the walkers. Great Sage, he is unafraid. He uses a stick to hit left and right, and cover up the front. The little demon had all the means. The more he fought, the more he got involved. He wrapped himself around his waist and pulled his legs. He didn’t want to step back. The Great Sage panics, even if he has an external body method… (Journey to the West, 35th turn)
Fine ghosts and clever insects lost purple gold red gourd and white jade bottle, but King Jinjiao and King Yinjiao did not punish them, mainly for the following reasons:
First of all, the Smart Bug is the confidant of the Silver Horn King and is trusted by him. Therefore, if he makes a mistake, the Silver Horn will also give him a lighter punishment. So when the clever ghost proposed to run, the subtle ghost proposed to put the blame on him and go back to have a try. As a result, the King of Silver Corner did not punish them, but just scolded them and asked them to leave.
Secondly, although Golden Horn and Silver Horn have poor attitudes towards mountain gods and land, they use them as slaves. But when the Silver Horn was captured by the Monkey King, the Golden Horn cried bitterly, and the demons also cried bitterly. It can be seen that the two demons were very friendly to their little demons. The golden horn summoned a group of demons to revenge. All the demons were excited. They rushed to attack Monkey King without fear of death, forcing him to use the external method. From the group of demons who vowed to besiege Monkey King, it was proved that the golden horn and silver horn had treated them well. So the subtle ghost just saw this and advised the clever insect not to run away.
In the end, Sun Wukong was so powerful and powerful that he was no match for gold horn and silver horn. Therefore, Gold and Silver Horn knew that Monkey King was not easy to deal with, and it was normal for the subtle ghost and clever worm to be cheated away by Monkey King. Therefore, Gold Horn and Silver Horn did not punish the two demons. They just said that they were rubbish, so they left.
