Red Boy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Red Boy a character featured within the famous ancient chinese novel Journey to the West. Red Boy was also known as the Boy Sage King, and had been the son of the Bull Demon King, a former sworn brother of Sun Wukong. Through the orders of his father, Red Boy was told to be the protector of the Fiery Mountains due to his supreme abilities when it had came to fire after cultivating his powers for over 300 years. Through this, Red Boy had developed True Samadhi Fire. Here is the description that was given of Red Boy:
- A face as pale as if powdered,
- Lips as red as from lipstick.
- Hair in two tufts looking darker than indigo,
A clear−cut brow like a crescent moon.
- His kilt was embroidered with phoenix and dragon,
He looked like Nezha, but a little plumper.
- In his hands he wielded an awe−inspiring spear,
As he came out through the gates, protected by his aura.
- When he roared it echoed like thunder,
And the glare of his eyes flashed like lightning.
- If you would know this demon's true name,
He was the Red Boy of undying renown.
Sun Wukong would later continuously battle against Red Boy in hopes of returning his master, the Tang Priest, along with his two sworn brothers. Red Boy outmached Sun Wukong due to being able to control five carts that emmitted an absurd amount of fire that had the power to blouch out the heavens to the extent that Sun Wukon had to say a magic spell to create an orb of protection around his body. Sun Wukong later asks for the help of the Bodhisattva Guanyin. After a long event, Red Boy ended up being impaled by a very large amount of swords after Guanyin's throne had turned into blades. Red Boy was truly forced to become one with the True Faith after having a golden band put on his forehead; Thus Guanyin made him a servant within her area of cultivation.
