There were also the Tiger, Deer, and Goat Immortals of Che Chi Kingdom. They were the tiger spirit, deer spirit, and goat spirit respectively.

You might want to ask about the plot of the country of women in the 1986 version of Journey to the West. In this version of the story, Tang Sanzang and his disciples came to the Kingdom of Women. The king of the Kingdom of Women fell in love with Tang Sanzang at first sight in the main hall, but Tang Sanzang was shy and afraid. His face was red, he did not dare to raise his head, and he could not stand steadily. The king of the Kingdom of Women could not sleep at night after returning to the palace. He drew the appearance of Tang Sanzang under the lamp and secretly made up his mind to give the Kingdom of Women to Tang Sanzang to keep him. The next time they met was in the imperial garden. The king tried his best to bring mandarin ducks to express his feelings, but Tang Sanzang did not appreciate it. The king then bluntly asked why a single man and a single woman could not be in pairs, and Tang Sanzang bluntly said that he was on a mission to learn from the West. Later, in order to get the customs clearance document, Tang Sanzang and his disciples discussed countermeasures. Sun Wukong came up with a plan to escape by pretending to be close. When the Imperial Advisor returned from proposing marriage to Sanzang, he said that Tang Yudi had agreed to the marriage but was somewhat unwilling. The Queen thought that he was just shy. The Queen pretended to invite Tang Sanzang to admire the national treasure, but in fact, she wanted to let the rice be cooked. In short, this plot brought out a unique human touch to the country of women, allowing Tang Sanzang to show the emotional fluctuations of a living man. Compared with other disasters of demons and ghosts, this difficulty reflected more of the conflict between human nature and Buddha's heart. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
