Emerald-Armed Mantis Yaoguai Chiefs
Description
Tang Monk often advocated for kindness, while Sun Wukong frequently punished evil.
At Kui-Mu Wolf’s place, upon hearing of the princess’s suffering and seeing her reluctance to leave due to her feelings and child, he had Bajie throw the two yaoguais from the sky, smashing them into two lumps of flesh.
At Old Yang’s house, after hearing about the misdeeds of the old couple’s unfilial son and seeing how they indulged him for the sake of incense offerings, even though Old Yang pleaded beforehand, he still went ahead and beheaded the son.
Sun Wukong’s nature was to show no mercy to villains and evildoers; he delighted in eradicating evils and yaoguais. The numerous blood debts on the journey to the West, though each had its reasons, were mostly attributed to the monkey.
People know of the other three pieces of armor, but they are unaware that the mantis was transformed from the Great Sage’s gauntlet. It seems that this gauntlet must have inherited the Great Sage’s ruthless methods, even in the way it played tricks on Zhu Bajie, it was no different.
Poetry
With ruby eyes and jade adorned,
It wields its blades, fierce and scorned.
If justice lags and fails to rise,
An iron fist none can despise.
