  • At last! The saga continues, as our troupe of compadres grows from three to five and the story can REALLY get started!
    In case you were wondering, this ISN'T the only origin of the five-man-band archetype, although it certainly accounts for a lot of the associated tropes. The Mahabharata is another classic example, with the five Pandava brothers filling out the classic roles very well.

    For those who don't know: 猪八戒/猪悟能 (Pigsy) wasn't exiled from heaven because he hit on just any woman. He had the balls to hit on 嫦娥 (Chang'e), the moon goddess herself! If you understand Chinese mythology, you'd know that Chang'e is _off limits_ to anyone because her heart is forever with her mortal husband 后羿 (Hou Yi).

      Sun Wukong: Isn't that 9-toothed rake of yours just a garden tool!
      Zhu Bajie/Wuneng: You made a grave mistake! This rake is divine icy steel refined. Polished so neatly it glows & shines. Laozi wielded the hammer & tong. Mars added charcoal piece by piece. 5 Kings of 5 Quarters added their plans. 12 Shen of Time expended all their skills. 9 prongs made like dandling teeth of jade. Brass rings were cast with dropping leaves. Mixed with 5 stars & 6 brightness-es. It's frame conformed to 8 spans & 4 climes. Its whole length matches the cosmic plan. Accorded with yin & yang, with the sun & moon: 6-Diagram Shen etched as Heaven/Tian ruled; 18-Trigram Stars stood in ranks & files. They named this the High Treasure Golden Rake. A gift for Jade Emperor/Yu Huang/Yu Di to guard his court. Since I learned to be a immortal. Becoming someone with longevity. I became Marshal of the Heavenly Reeds. Given this rake. A sign of royal grace. When it’s held high, there’ll be bright flames & light. When it’s brought low, strong wind blows down white snow. The warriors of Heaven/Tian all fear it. The 10 Kings of Hell all shrink from it. Are there such weapons among humans? In this world there’s no such fine steel. It changes it's form by my own wish, rising & falling after my command. This rake can destroy sea dragons’ & turtles’ lairs. Rake up mountain dens of tigers and wolves. All other weapons there’s no need to name. Only my rake is of most fitting fame. To win in battle? Why, it’s no hard thing! Making merit? It need not be said! You may have a bronze head, an iron brain, & a full steel frame. I’ll rake till your soul melts & your spirit leaks!”
      Sun Wukong: HA! Bragging Much, Idiot? If true, then I will let you strike at Old Sun's Head.
      Zhu Bajie/Wuneng: Foolish Monkey!!!
      (9-toothed Rake directly hits Wukong's Bald Head - No Effect)
      Giant Yaoguai/Boar Dumbass: (Gulp! & Sweats Intensely) What A Head!
      On a edit side-note, this moment is even funnier if you know the sizes & height of the characters. Wukong is said to be less than 4-ft tall, with Wujing being 12-ft. While Bajie/Wuneng's height is never said, given his long snout alone is said to be 3-ft long, he's likely at least around 10-ft or more.

      ​@@entity107 Here's my favorite moment of Ch 32, early in the Yinjiao/Ginkaku (Silver Horn) & Jinjiao/Kinkaku (Golden Horn) arc.
      Idiot had no choice but to scamper up and leave on the main road. Look at
      him! As he walked along this time, he was haunted by suspicion, supposing with
      every step of the way that the transformed Pilgrim was following him. As soon
      as he came upon an object or thing, he would immediately suspect that it was
      Pilgrim. After he had gone for about seven or eight miles, he saw a tiger running
      across the slope. Undaunted, he lifted up his muckrake and said, “Elder Brother,
      did you come again to listen to my fibs? I told you I wouldn’t do that anymore.”
      As he walked further, a violent mountain gust toppled a dead tree, which rolled
      up to him. Pounding his chest and stamping his feet, he cried, “Elder Brother!
      Why did you do this? I told you I would not try to deceive you anymore. Why
      did you have to change into a tree to strike at me?” He proceeded still further
      and saw in the air a white-necked old crow, which squawked several times
      overhead. He said again, “Elder Brother, aren’t you ashamed of yourself? I told
      you I wouldn’t lie anymore. Why did you still change into an old crow? Are you
      trying to eavesdrop on me again?” But this time Pilgrim, you see, did not follow
      him; he was simply ridden with suspicion and surmise, and we shall speak no
      more of him for the moment.
      By the way, Idiot = Bajie/Wuneng & Pilgrim/Elder Brother = Wukong, if you didn't know or couldn't tell

      for what it's worth, I once tried to write a chapter where Neh-za (prince nata) actually explains why that is. It's a matter if, 'as you grow strong, so do others'. In the 500 years wu-kong was sealed, Gods and the demons they fight trained to reach his strength.

    I feel like a decent explanation for the near-constant divine intervention is that the Jade emperor set up a rule that his court can’t intervene, but he can’t enforce it, as a good chunk of the court agreed that Tripitaka and his group Desperately need help. So members of the court are sneaking out to intervene during when they can. The Emperor is not omnipotent, which is shown by how he only finds out about Sun Wukong’s shenanigans through the reports sent in by others and what he himself witnesses. As he stays in the palace attending to his government duties, only certain people will be in his presence at a given time, depending on how his schedule works. If a specific person is missing, the other court members most likely have some alibi or excuse ready, with help from G.S Venus.

    It's really fun to remember that this entire series was an overdramatic telling of an actual historical event. Xuanzang was a real monk who studied in Chengdu, travelled to India, and years later returned to Chang'an, modern day Xi'an, with tons of valuable Buddhist relics and texts.

      It makes perfect sense!
      Trippitaka’s the player who keeps canceling each session, meaning that he has to get kidnapped to preserve the story (properly speaking, the Heart Sutra should be super helpful, but his player’s never there to use it)
      Sandsy was originally introduced as a way to teach the players not to be murder hobos, before another player asked to be brought in and the DM was like “Shit, uh, play this guy.”
      And all the help from heaven is because of an overly protective DM who feels bad about letting his players fail.... though it’s not necessarily his fault. I mean, all the encounters are balanced for 3 characters, but Trippitaka keeps canceling!

There's so many variations on immortality in this novel that I can't really tell what the difference is. Though it seems to me like eating some fruit is a way easier method than undergoing countless years of Taoist training.
