Black Myth Wukong” in the hidden BOSS four blasphemy Dragon King, their identity is actually a great deal, and the “Journey to the West” of the West to fetch the scriptures has a close connection, and even said that the West to fetch the scriptures project can start, but also related to their family. Here I combine the game Shadow God map and the original Journey to the West, 86 version of the TV series, for you to explain the plot background of the four blasphemy Dragon King and the tragic fate.

In many interpretations of the original Journey to the West, the project of fetching scriptures from the Western Paradise is considered to be a key project that Spirit Mountain has been planning for a long time. There are even claims that it was for this project that the Golden Cicada was relegated to the mortal world, that the Monkey King was created, and that he was taught the spells that lead to heaven.
When the Sun Wukong in the five rows of mountains under the pressure of five hundred years, the Golden Cicada Zi also reincarnated into a good person of the Tang Monk of the ten worlds of cultivation, the heavenly court side also recognized the project of the West to get the scriptures, the next thing that is left in the South Alimony of the Great Tang Emperor Li Shimin. How to let him know the benefits of Mahayana Buddhism, sincere respect for Buddha, and full support for the Tang Monk to take scriptures in the West, and then back to the Great Tang spread Buddhism to universalize all sentient beings? No matter, he has no demand, we can help him to create demand.
This story also begins with Yuan Shoucheng and the Dragon King of Jinghe.
Yuan Shoucheng was, in the original story, the uncle of Yuan Tiangang, Mr. Taizheng of the imperial Qin Tian Supervisor. Yuan Tiangang (袁天綱) was a real historical figure during the Sui and Tang dynasties, and was famous in various later legends.
The King of the Jinghe Dragon is the Dragon King of the Jinghe River outside Chang’an City.
The Jing River is the first major tributary of the Wei River, a tributary of the Yellow River. The ancients believed that the Jing water was clear and the Wei water was turbid. When the Jing River flows into the Wei River, the clear water does not mix with the turbid water; the clear water is clear from itself and the turbid water is turbid from itself. This is the origin of the Chinese idiom “泾渭分明”.
Because Yuan Shoucheng was able to accurately calculate the location of the Jing River’s water tribe, fishermen in the vicinity often approached him to tell their fortunes, and then went to catch large quantities of fish and shrimp at regular intervals. The King of the Jing River Dragon was so angry and fearful of this that he disguised himself as a whiterobed scholar and went to the city of Chang’an to find trouble with Yuan Shoucheng, asking him to calculate the number of points in time for tomorrow’s rainfall and threatening to drive him out of the city if he made a mistake.
As a result, the Heavenly Court suddenly sends down an imperial decree, requiring the Dragon King of Jinghe to make the exact same number of points of the hour of rain tomorrow as Yuan Shoucheng’s projection. The Dragon King of the Jinghe River was unwilling to give in and changed the number of hours of rain, violating the rules of heaven, and was later known by the Heavenly Court, which wanted to arrest him and execute him at the Dragon Cutting Platform. (The Dragon Cutting Platform is a special execution ground for dragons, and the name Dragon Cutting Platform comes from the process of removing dragon scales from dragons. The scales of the Flying Dragon obtained in the game are the scales of the King of the Jinghe Dragon.)
Since the supervisor of the beheading was Wei Zheng, a heavenly official of the human realm, who was the prime minister of the dynasty, Yuan Shoucheng asked the King of the Jing River Dragon to seek help from the Tang Emperor Li Shimin. Li Shimin promised the King of Jinghe Dragon and designed to stall Wei Zheng, but he did not expect that in the end the King of Jinghe Dragon was beheaded by Wei Zheng in his dream.
The most reasonable explanation is that, in fact, the Spirit Mountain and the Heavenly Court have long been in collusion, specifically arranged for Yuan Shoucheng to pit this King of the Jinghe Dragon, they know very well the King of the Jinghe Dragon’s temperament and character, and know that he will certainly take the bait. Even though Yuan Shoucheng had the ability to reach the heavens, how could he calculate the Jade Emperor’s holy decree, but it was because the holy decree had been prepared a long time ago, and then informed Yuan Shoucheng of the content in advance.
Yuan Shoucheng not only knows the content of the imperial decree, but also knows that the King of the Jinghe Dragon has violated the rules of heaven to be executed, and also knows that the supervisor of the decapitation is Wei Zheng, not because he can count, but because he and the mastermind behind the scene are basically the same gang. Yuan Shoucheng told the Jinghe Dragon King to seek help from Li Shimin, not because he was sincere in helping the King, but because he wanted the King to hate Li Shimin after his death. From the very beginning, when the King was chosen as a sacrifice, the King was doomed to certain death.
The mastermind behind the scene arranged Yuan Shoucheng to lure the King of the River Jing to take the bait, then chose to let Wei Zheng supervise the beheading, then tricked the King of the River Jing to go to Li Shimin to seek help, and pulled Li Shimin into the game step by step by means of a chain trick, and the ultimate goal of all these plots was Li Shimin.
After the death of the King of the Jing River Dragon, his spirit has been haunting Li Shimin in his nightly dreams, making it impossible for him to sleep peacefully. So Li Shimin let Yuchigong, Qin Shubao two generals stand guard, in order to drive away the ghosts and evil demons. (These are the two door gods that we folk put on the door)
Although the dream was free of ghosts and demons to harass him, Li Shimin was already so sick with fear that he was eventually dragged to the netherworld.
Li Shimin in the hell experienced countless scares (even met brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji pulling beatings to claim their lives), and promised a variety of benefits, the hell only let Li Shimin return to the sun.
Li Shimin traveled to hell to return to the sun, selected the Tang Monk to preside over the land and water assembly, overcoming the ghosts of the netherworld. Guanyin came out again and said, “The Mahayana Dharma of our Buddha Rulai is capable of resolving the knots of hundreds of grievances and eliminating undeserved calamities”. At this time, Li Shimin has been like a scared bird, had to believe.
Thus, the key project of fetching scriptures from the Western Paradise, after a long period of careful planning, finally officially opened ……
The four masters and disciples met Alligator, the youngest son of the King of the Jinghe Dragon, when they came to the Blackwater River to fetch scriptures in the West, and then learned about the King of the Jinghe Dragon’s family from the King of the Dragon in the West Sea.
The King of the Jinghe Dragon married the sister of the King of the West Sea Dragon and had nine sons.
As the saying goes, “The nine sons of the dragon are different from each other”: the first little yellow dragon lived in Huai Dushi; the second little black dragon lived in Ji Dushi; the third greenbacked dragon occupied Jiang Dushi; the fourth redbearded dragon guarded the River Dushi; the fifth futile dragon was with the Buddha; the sixth stable beast dragon was with the magistrate to suppress the ridge; the seventh Jingzhong dragon was with the Jade Emperor to guard the Heavenly Table of Wah; The eighth dragon, the Mirage Dragon, guards the Taiyue Mountains at the place of the big brothers.
The youngest son (the ninth son), Alligator sinensis, was a young boy, and after his father, the King of Dragons of the Jinghe River, was beheaded for violating the laws of heaven, he and his mother came to live with his uncle, the King of Dragons of the West China Sea, and were brought up by his uncle. Alligator sinensis is the only one who does not have a job. His uncle, the Dragon King of the West Sea, tells him to go to the Blackwater River to cultivate his nature and practice, expecting him to build up his merit so that he can get a deacon.
But Alligator used force to defeat the god of the Black Water River and took over the god’s water residence (the Dragon King of the Western Sea probably harbored him, or even arranged it that way on purpose). After that, Alligator was so powerful that he captured the Longevity Monk and planned to use his flesh to celebrate the birthday of the Dragon King of the Western Sea. After Sun Wukong found out about Alligator’s origin, he got Alligator’s invitation and went to ask the Dragon King of the West Sea about it. The Dragon King of the West Sea then sent Prince Mo’ang to capture Alligator at the Black Water River with his sailors and brought him back to the West Sea.
It’s uncertain whether the eight sons of the King of the Jing River Dragon got their positions before or after his death, but judging by the fact that his first four sons are in charge of the important Four Dirties, they can be much more important than their old man’s Jing River.
So some of the original interpretation that the Jinghe Dragon King, no matter how to say is very wrong, and look at the results also really for the scripture project “merit”, the court of heaven may be in order to compassionate, only to give his sons to arrange these positions. It can be said that the future of his sons is the old man’s life in exchange.
The four blasphemies is the ancient name of China for the four great rivers that flow alone into the sea, namely: Jiang, He, Huai, Ji (Yangtze River, Yellow River, Huai River, Ji Water). Among them, Huaihe and Jishui had also flowed into the sea alone in ancient times, so they got to be listed alongside the river. As the Yellow River has been diverted many times in history, the Huaihe River and Jishui were successively taken by the Yellow River diversion (Song Dynasty and Qing Dynasty), and the lower reaches of the Huaihe River were silted and injected into the Yangtze River instead, and the former course of the Jishui River is the lower reaches of the Yellow River nowadays.
The four muckraking dragon kings in the game are the first four sons of the Jinghe Dragon King:
The Redbearded Dragon hiding in the Black Wind Mountain is the fourth son of the King of the Jinghe Dragon, the Dragon King of the Yellow River.
The young Liyu Dragon hiding in Huangfeng Ridge is the second son of the King of the Jing River Dragon, the King of the Jishui Dragon.
The Greenbacked Dragon hiding in the Little Western Heaven is the third son of the King of the Jinghe Dragon, the Dragon King of the Yangtze River.
The little yellow dragon hiding in Yuan Shoucheng’s body is the eldest son of the Dragon King of the Jing River, the Dragon King of the Huai River.
The sons of the King of the Jing River Dragon King also make an appearance in the TV series, see if you can recognize the Four Dragons of Dishonor
From the description of the Dragon King of the Western Sea in the original story, the Four Desecration Dragon King still stayed quite peacefully at his job when he was fetching scriptures in the Western Heaven, and what happened after that is not known.
The game, on the other hand, renews their fates in order to turn them into hidden bosses that train you:
After the beheading of the King of the Jinghe Dragon, the dragons’ sons were deeply uncertain about their future. After the end of the scripturetaking project in the West, many of the gods and demons involved were rewarded for their achievements, except for the Dragon Sons, whose rewards and punishments were undecided, which made them even more terrified. They went to Yuan Shoucheng and asked him to tell their fortune again. (Being victimized so badly, they don’t hate Yuan Shoucheng, but actually believe in his fortunetelling.)
This hexagram is a submerged dragon not to use the image, but also become their heart thorn. Among them, especially the four blasphemy dragon king is the most worried, afraid that he was also arrested to cut the dragon platform. They supervise the four blasphemies, know the upper world’s harsh style, take the initiative to resign, want to retreat to protect their lives. Unexpectedly, into the heavenly court of the form were rejected.
After the death of the Monkey King, Yuan Shoucheng went to the Dragon King of the Four Destinies and told them that the updated trigrams showed that the dragon was in the abyss and that there was an opportunity to move: “As long as we can find a hidden place to hide, and kill every little monkey looking for the root of the Great Sage, then we will be able to make up for our sins.”
After hearing this, the four blasphemous dragon kings left the Water Mansion and went off to plan individually. The Red Bearded Dragon, the Little Li Dragon, and the Green Backed Dragon hid in the Black Bear Spirit, the Yellow Wind Monster, and the Yellow Eyebrows respectively, while the Little Yellow Dragon was transformed into a tattoo and hid in Yuan Shoucheng.
But this AWOL, not afraid of the Heavenly Court blame? It feels like they were completely crippled by Yuan Shoucheng! Or it can also be interpreted this way, Yuan Shoucheng may be the embodiment of some big brother in the sky, the four blasphemous Dragon King understand that this is actually the meaning of the Heavenly Court, even if you do not want to go to have to go ah.
The four blasphemous dragon kings are also miserable enough, they probably know that Yuan Shoucheng cannot be trusted, but they can only be at the mercy of Heaven and Yuan Shoucheng. “Sacrificing one’s life to become benevolent is the destiny of my clan for generations”, and in the end, they all became practice objects on the way to Sun Wukong’s resurrection.
“There is no cause, why is the head hanging over the city cao? Without cause, what is the reason for the four malfunctions being out of control? There is no reason why the colors are perplexed? There is no reason why compassion should be perverted.” Yuan Shoucheng was afraid that you would not be able to find them, and when he arrived at the hiding place of the Dragon King of the Four Destinies, he read it out, and by the way, he also told how to beat the Dragon King of the Four Destinies. I don’t know if the Four Dirt DragonKing has the feeling of being sold.
“Those three brothers of yours have all been put to death. If you don’t go to meet them, when will you wait?” Yuan Shoucheng’s last words to Little Yellow Dragon were really ruthless. Who was the one who fooled them that they could redeem their sins in the first place?
Also, in one of the early trailers, where you take the flying dragon scales, the little yellow dragon is drawing the Monkey King back when he was begging to learn from Master Bodhi, but in the actual game there’s only the drawing here and not the little yellow dragon.
The person who painted this picture, I think it’s probably Yuan Shoucheng, because it’s Yuan Shoucheng who told you at Yellow Wind Ridge that you can get the Flying Dragon Scale here, so both the Flying Dragon Scale and this painting should have been prepared in advance by Yuan Shoucheng for you. The four practice BOSS Yuan Shoucheng have prepared for you, here is the equivalent of the pass to you.
As for this secret past between Master Bodhi and the Monkey King, which many immortals don’t know about, how Yuan Shoucheng can know about it, and why he purposely drew it here for you to see, this mystery will have to be explained by future DLC or sequels.
The trailer, as well as when you take the Flying Dragon Scales, has Yuan Shoucheng reciting a poem, from the first verse of the Song of Well Done from Dream of the Red Chamber:
“The world knows that the immortals are good, but they can’t forget their merits! Where are the ancient and modern generals? A pile of grass in a barren mound is gone.”
The second paragraph from the back goes quite well with Elder Jinchi here it is posted as well:
“The world knows that the gods are good, but only gold and silver can’t be forgotten! In the end, I only hate that there is not much time to gather, and when there is much time, my eyes are closed.”
The poem in Yuan Shoucheng’s Picture of the Shadow God, “Half a life wasted, half a life busy, laughing at the sky is absurd,” probably has a similar meaning.
