Brief introduction of The Journey to the West author Wu Cheng'en

In fact, there are many monsters that the Monkey King can't beat, but these monsters the Monkey King can't fight at all, because these monsters have strong backgrounds, such as Hong Haier, who finally became a boy next to Guanyin Bodhisattva. I believe that I don't need to say that everyone knows that the South China Sea Guanyin Bodhisattva is powerful. If the Monkey King casually beats Hong Haier, it is equivalent to not giving face to Guanyin Bodhisattva. Moreover, the mount under the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva was once a demon, so this the Monkey King can't be beaten. There are many similar situations, so the monsters in Journey to the West can't be beaten by fighting. Of course, in addition to this main reason, there may be the following reasons:

1. the Monkey King really can't beat

Although the Monkey King is well-connected, some monsters the Monkey King can't really beat, especially those with some special abilities. For example, the Red Haier mentioned above is of this type, and Hong Haier's three flavors of true fire can be said to be quite powerful, which is beyond the Monkey King's ability to compete. When encountering this type of monster, the Monkey King can only ask for reinforcements, such as Guanyin Bodhisattva, which can easily drop Hong Haier.

2. The monster's magic weapon is too powerful

Sometimes the monster itself can't beat the Monkey King, but some magic weapons held by the monster are too powerful. These magic weapons have been tempered for thousands of years when some immortals are guarding them. After being secretly taken out by these monsters, the Monkey King actually has no choice. For example, when fighting King Jinjiao and King Yinjiao, the gourd in their hands is beyond the Monkey King's control.

3. the Monkey King deliberately

There are also some monsters that the Monkey King deliberately didn't kill, because in the original Journey to the West, there were many times when the Monkey King disagreed with Tang Priest. the Monkey King also wanted to take this opportunity to beat Tang Priest or Pig Bajie, which means to tell them, "I am responsible for killing monsters, but in the end, Master is ungrateful. You must know this in your heart, otherwise I will quit."
