Chapter One：Black Cloud，Red Fire， Detailed plot explanation

[Starsky]

This article aims to help people understand the plot of the first chapter of the cartoon, because this cartoon is very difficult to understand for those who have not watched Journey to the West.

I will explain what the plot is about by combining the 16th century Chinese classic Journey to the West and the 1986 TV series Journey to the West

My English is average, so please forgive me if there is anything wrong with my writing. Thank you.

This may be a story about a man and his playmate.

There was a wild black bear in the forest. One day, he met a little monk in the mountain. The black bear was kind-hearted because he used gold and silver as a gift when he first met the little monk, which showed that he didn't care about money at all.

Then he accompanied the little monk as he grew up. He looked at everything in his life and found that everyone had a beautiful cassock, but the little monk didn't. Therefore, he took the initiative to become the little monk's cassock, gorgeous and safe, and kept guarding silently.

Many years later, the little monk grew up and became the abbot of the temple, named "Elder Jinchi". Perhaps because he lacked the obsession of wearing a cassock in his childhood, he particularly liked it. Therefore, he stole and collected a lot of other people's cassocks. Note that some of the cassocks may have come from immoral sources, but he still wore the cassock of the black bear spirit, because he never forgot how his first cassock came from. He may not be a good monk morally, but he never forgot the relationship and experience with the black bear spirit.

Until later, a monk named Tang Seng came and showed him his cassock. Tang Seng's cassock was too gorgeous. It was the most precious Buddhist treasure in Journey to the West. This treasure was too precious, beautiful and noble. The abbot's heart was confused in an instant, and the idea of ​​greed sprouted from the bottom of his heart at this moment.

The greedy thoughts became stronger and stronger, making the host restless. He wanted to set fire to Tang Monk, but Black Bear found out. Black Bear wanted to save the host and stole the cassock to stop him from thinking about it. The fire burned everything and Black Bear left.

Later, Sun Wukong went to heaven and found Guanyin Bodhisattva to ask for the cassock back. Black Bear was subdued by Guanyin and became her subordinate.

Then there was the conversation in the cartoon. The grizzly bear talked with Guanyin in the bamboo forest. Black Bear said: I don’t understand why the monk "Jin Chi" is obsessed with material things (referring to the cassock and other treasures). I never care about these (from the first time they met when they were children, Black Bear gave the little monk treasures to know that he didn’t care about money at all).

Then there was the words of Guanyin, "If he doesn’t wear the cassock, how can the world know that he is a "high monk"?"

The original story was actually meant to criticize people for being hypocritical and inconsistent in their words and deeds for the sake of money.

Just like our current life, rich people will buy some luxury goods to decorate themselves and show their uniqueness. In fact, it may be inferiority complex or inner emptiness.


End.

In fact, it is very difficult to translate and interpret different cultures 100% correctly. There may be some personal opinions, but each of my selected content is to try to combine the original work with the TV series version and the game content. You know, they are not completely consistent. . There are some difficulties in this. . 😊😊
