Chapter 49 Chapter 19 Ever-changing——Why the monsters don't show their original shape

During the entire process of learning the scriptures, the team of learning the scriptures encountered hundreds of monsters of all kinds. Excluding some little monsters playing soy sauce, there are nearly a hundred of them who are kings of mountains. Except that the boa constrictor spirit never appeared in human form from the beginning to the end, the rest of the monsters have all cultivated into human form and appeared in human form, and most of the monsters have always been in human form during battle, and only after they died did they show their original form, or Said that the owner of the house has come, and shouted: "Kamma, don't hurry up and show the original shape!" They will show the original shape.

This is a normal state, but not all monsters are like this. Some monsters will show their original shape during the battle. What is interesting is that the author found that those monsters who dared to show their original shape to fight Monkey King, when fighting Monkey King in human form It can't take advantage of it, or it's very passive, but once it transforms into its original form, it's very powerful. The most typical examples are Nine-Headed Insect, Golden Winged Roc and Spider Spirit. The Nine-Headed Insect first fought with Monkey King in human form. In the early days, they were able to fight regardless of the outcome. When Zhu Bajie gave him an assist, the Nine-Headed Insect was no longer able to do so.In the original book——(nine-headed worm) is also resistant to fighting five or seven times, unable to block the front and rear rounds, but he rolls, jumps into the air, and reveals his true identity. It is a nine-headed worm, and its image is very evil. Seeing this figure is afraid of killing people!He was born with fluff and feathers, and his body was full of flocks.The square has a size of two feet, and the length is similar to that of a turtle.The two toes are as sharp as hooks, and the nine heads are ringed together.Spreading its wings, it is extremely good at flying, and the vertical roc has no other strength; when it raises its voice, it vibrates far and wide, and it can scream higher than a crane.The eyes are full of golden light, and the arrogance is different from ordinary birds.When Zhu Bajie saw it, he was startled and said: "Brother! I am a human being, and I have never seen such an evil thing! What kind of blood gave birth to this beast?" The traveler said: "It's really rare, it's really rare, wait for me to catch up and beat it ! " Great sage, he leaped into the sky and hit the head with the iron rod.The monster showed its body, spread its wings and flew obliquely, swished a turn, and flew to the front of the mountain. Another head protruded from half its waist, and opened its mouth like a blood basin. , Catch it in the water of Bibotan and go away.

After showing their original shape, Monkey King and Zhu Bajie both gasped and shouted: "I have never seen such a vicious monster!" This not only frightened Zhu Bajie and Monkey King in terms of momentum, but also calmly avoided Monkey King's attack, Capture Zhu Bajie, which is obviously much more powerful than fighting in human form. But the golden-winged roc was not very powerful when fighting Monkey King in human form. Even when the green lion and white elephant helped to besiege Monkey King, Monkey King was able to block their three weapons and escape with a somersault.But after Dapeng showed his original form, he did something else--Xingzhe saw two brothers captured, and he couldn't support himself alone.With a cry, he separated the stick from the weapons of the three monsters, and walked away in a somersault.When the three monsters saw the walker doing somersaults, they shook their bodies, revealed their true colors, spread their wings, and caught up with the great sage.This goblin is ninety thousand miles away with one wing, and it can overtake it with two wings, so he grabbed it and held it in his hand, struggling left and right.

After showing its original form, it can not only catch up with Monkey King's somersault cloud speed, but also restrain Monkey King's changes, making Monkey King "unable to struggle left and right". Spider spirits are a group of goblins with low mana. When they are in human form, they may only rely on their beauty. Others such as martial arts and strength are not very powerful, but when they fight in their original form, they can scare away Monkey King—(Monkey King and centipede fine) two scolded and fought, alarmed the female monster there.Seven of them rushed out and shouted: "Brother, don't bother, wait for the little girl to catch him." Seeing this, the traveler became more and more angry.I saw the seven with their arms open, their snow-white bellies shoved, and they made a move through the navel hole: the bones were all protruding with silk ropes, and a canopy was set up to cover the traveler under it.Seeing that things were not harmonious, the traveler turned over and chanted a mantra, made a somersault, and rushed away through the canopy; holding back his temper, he stood in the air sluggishly, and saw the strange silk rope shining brightly, passing through the road. But it is the shuttle's latitude and longitude, instantly covering all the towers and halls of Huanghuaguan without a trace.The traveler said: "It's bad, it's bad! It's been a long time since he's done it. It's strange how much Zhu Bajie has fallen! How can it be good like this?

The seven not very powerful spider spirits, after revealing their true form, can actually make Sun Dasheng, who has the power to reach the heavens and the earth, helpless. Even some gods like to show their original shape when fighting.For example, when the star official Angri got rid of the scorpion spirit, he showed his true colors to fight - after the monster (scorpion spirit) drove past the stone screen, the traveler called, "Where is the Pleiades?" and saw the star official standing on the hillside It turned out to be a big double-crested rooster, with its head held up, about six or seven feet high, and it yelled at the goblin, and the monster immediately revealed its true shape, it was a scorpion the size of a lute .The star official yelled again, and the monster was limp all over, and died in front of the slope.There is a poem as proof, and the poem says: the embroidered neck of the corolla is like a tassel, the claws are hard and the distance is long, and the eyes are angry.Enthusiastically majestic and full of five virtues, majestic and majestic, envious of three sounds.Is it like every bird crowing in a hut, which is the name of the stars.Poisonous scorpions cultivate humanity in vain, and restore the original to see the true form.

It is beyond the author's expectation that the truth has such power.But the author immediately had a question, since they are so powerful after showing their true colors, then why do the monsters have to practice hard in order to cultivate human form?And why don't most monsters use their original form to fight? This is really a difficult problem to solve if you don't study it carefully.But, fortunately, the author has always been good at investigating the source and finding the answers to all the questions from the details.The author believes that there are several reasons why youkai do not often fight in their true form.

First of all, monsters who have been cultivated to become fine have vanity, which is the same as human beings. No one wants others to know their ugly face before adult form. Monsters have the courage to show their true colors.For example, monsters such as mouse spirits, scorpion spirits, centipede spirits, and spider spirits, they are already somewhat inferior to their origins as lowly creatures, and you still let them show their true colors. How can this be done? Moreover, animals in the Three Realms belong to the category of low-level creatures. After finally cultivating to become refined, they can become a higher-level human form. Who would want to show their true colors to others?

Therefore, when people from bad backgrounds achieve their careers, they like to cover up all kinds of embarrassing things in the past, and make up for their mistakes. This is not surprising at all. Second, after transforming into a human form, it is more conducive to dealing with the world, whether it is communication, fighting or confusing opponents.As the saying goes, there are human languages, and animals have animal languages. The "languages" used for communication between different species must be different. If they all get along with each other in the real way, how inconvenient is communication?Therefore, there is a unified standard in the demon world. All monsters who have reached a certain level of ability must cultivate human form and communicate with the common language—human language.This is like the current English. If anyone can't speak a few words, he will appear to be inferior.

Furthermore, when fighting in human form, it is also under the same fighting rules, with two arms and two legs, which is more comparable. If you fight in the original form, you are a mouse, I am a scorpion, and he is a bear. ,how to spell? Besides, after transforming into a human form, it is easier to confuse opponents with a weak posture. In the world of gods, monsters and ghosts, I am afraid that only humans are the most vulnerable group in the three realms, and of course they are also the largest group, so It has become the unanimous choice of monsters to transform into adults to confuse opponents and hide themselves.

Therefore, those who are good at disguising themselves, those who are good at disguising themselves, are often the big winners who are good at dealing with others. Third, it is easier to protect yourself by not presenting yourself as you are.Concealment is an instinct, or nature, of all living things, and of course it is the same for humans.The main purpose of concealing oneself is not to deceive others, but to protect oneself. Why do you say that?Because the more clearly your details are known, the more clearly your weaknesses and shortcomings will be exposed to others, and the more dangerous you will be.Therefore, being good at disguising yourself and being good at disguising yourself is actually a measure to protect yourself. You will not let others know that you are not as strong, glamorous, and outstanding as you appear to be.Therefore, it takes courage to show the original shape, and there is danger in showing the original shape, and this danger can even be fatal.

On the other hand, a person who knows the details of his competitors and the true nature of his competitors will also produce miraculous effects. Knowing yourself, knowing your enemy, and winning every battle is an eternal maxim!Therefore, when Sun Wukong was frustrated by monsters, he would always find out the land or mountain gods, ask about the origins of those monsters, and then formulate further battle plans.Sun Wukong is undoubtedly shrewd and wise, and those monsters who have cultivated into spirits certainly know this, and if they are not very sure, they will definitely not take the initiative to show their original shape. Of course there are yokai who have achieved miraculous effects by showing their original form, and there are also yokai who have encountered fatal dangers because of their original form.The first time the Nine-Headed Insect showed its original form, it frightened Sun Wukong and took Zhu Bajie away. But when he showed his original form for the second time, he was in bad luck. One of his heads was bitten off by the Roaring Dog in an instant. Since then, his life and death are unknown.As for the spider spirits, the ending was even worse than that of the nine-headed worm. They also frightened Monkey King when they first showed their true colors. "That goblin has lived here for less than ten years. The little god found out that she is actually seven spider spirits after checking three years ago. Those silk ropes she spit out are spider silk." Sun Wukong was very happy when he heard that Said: "According to you, it is Xiao Ke. Since you go back and wait for me to subdue her." Sun Wukong went outside the Huanghua Temple, plucked seventy tail hairs, and turned into seventy little Monkey Kings. The golden cudgel was turned into seventy two-pronged forked sticks, and one was distributed to each little Wukong.He himself made a fork stand outside and stirred the silk rope with all his strength, breaking the silk rope, and dragged out seven spiders with bodies as big as bats, each of them clung to their hands and feet and screamed. : "Forgive me! Forgive me!" The original bluffing spider spirit was captured alive after he showed his true colors, and was later "beaten to death" by Monkey King and became "seven sacks of flesh". , "drenched with pus and blood". But in today's world, politicians liars, shopping malls liars, and emotional liars come and go, and all living beings are fooled by them, losing power, money, feelings, even happiness, and losing their lives.The cheater hides the truth too well, but the deceived reveals his truth too much.
