The old man rode a green cow and drove a colorful cloud back to the palace far away from hatred.
The Tang Priest was saved, and rode westward on Bai with his disciples to the city outside his daughter's country.
There is a small river here, which looks good in water quality and crystal clear. Under the leadership of the old woman who was ferrying the ferry, the Tang Priest was thirsty. Seeing that the river was clear, he asked Bajie to scoop a ladle.
Tang Priest drank half, and Pig took over and drank half.
It was not until their stomachache that Tang Priest and Bajie realized that they could get pregnant directly after drinking the river water from their mother and son.
In order to relieve fetal gas, we should take the spring water from the hole in Yangshan.
Tang Priest and Bajie each have a mission to learn from the scriptures. Of course, they can't leave their descendants because of the situation.
With the efforts of the Monkey King and Friar Sand, the war was really immortal, and the problem of "pregnancy" between Tang Priest and Bajie was solved.
What is more interesting in Zimu River is that only people over the age of 20, regardless of sex, need to drink the water from the river, and they will have a baby with abdominal pain in a quarter of an hour, and they can have a baby in three days.
Similarly, in Shan Hai Jing, there is also a magical spring-Huangchi. A woman can get pregnant and have children as long as she bathes in a spring pool once.
Different from the myth of Westward Journey, Zimu River is located in the daughter country; Huangchi is located in the northern part of Wuxian in the western classics overseas.
The difference between Tang Priest and Mother River is that Tang Priest and his disciples can only give birth to a female child after drinking the Mother River.
This spring, located in the north of Wuxian County, can give birth to a male fetus or a female fetus after a woman takes a bath.
It's just that if a woman gives birth to a boy after taking a bath in Huangchi, she will die at the age of three. Only girls can grow up.
In the Journey to the West, this country of girls is called "the country of girls" because there are only women and no men in this country.
The name of Huangchi Spring Country mentioned in Shan Hai Jing is Daughter Country, which is 24,000 miles away from Jiuyi Mountain.
One is called "the country of girls" and the other is called "the country of women". One is that you can get pregnant by drinking river water, and the other is just bathing in spring water. ...
Although the two magical "waters" in myths and legends are different, Yiyuan Origin holds that Shan Hai Jing is an important ancient book in the pre-Qin period of China, and it is also the oldest wonderful book full of myths and legends.
Teacher Wu Cheng'en should refer to Shan Hai Jing when compiling The Journey to the West.
