Where is the West Sea of the Dragon King in Journey to the West?

Bosten Lake was called "West Sea" in ancient times and "Fish Sea" in Tang Dynasty. It was named Bosten Lake in the middle of Qing Dynasty. Bohu county, located in the southeast of Yanqi Basin, is the largest inland freshwater lake in China. The Uighur language means "oasis", which is called Bagrash Lake and is the largest inland freshwater lake in China.

The following is the legend of the West Sea Dragon King and its West Sea. If you are not interested, you can ignore it!

Legend of the West Sea Dragon King More than 1,300 years ago, there was a beautiful sea at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, commonly known as the West Sea, called Bosten Lake.

The west coast is a vast grassland where herders of all ethnic groups thrive. With their hard-working hands, they make herds of cattle and sheep, flowers bloom and people live a carefree life.

One year, there was a sudden drought, paraquat died, cattle and sheep died, and people could only look at the endless West Sea and sigh.

After the news of the grassland drought reached heaven, the Jade Emperor immediately assigned the Green Salon to the West Sea to fight the drought.

After being ordered, Green Salon led his family to the West Sea for nine days, and was called the West Sea Dragon King from then on. After the Green Salon inspected the drought, he immediately wrote to the Jade Emperor and asked for water distribution. At that time, the whole world suffered from a severe drought, and other rivers and seas could not be rescued. The Jade Emperor can only order the West Sea Dragon King to solve it on the spot.

The Dragon King of the West Sea swallowed two-thirds of the water in the West Sea in one gulp, then flew into the sky and spilled the water on the grassland. Regardless of the safety of the Dragon Palace, the Green Salon absorbed rainwater and saved the original Senecio scandens. However, the West Sea has since become a small lake, which is now Bosten Lake.

The grassland was saved. In order to commemorate the achievements of the West Sea Dragon King, the herdsmen built a temple on the Tongtian River estuary island and made a full-length portrait of the West Sea Dragon King. Although the temple is far away from the residential area, the herdsmen still burn incense to thank the Dragon King Cheng En.

Xihailonghou is a very virtuous and beautiful woman. She wholeheartedly assisted the West Sea Dragon King and was deeply respected by herders. But because of overwork, she still has no children for a hundred years. So the Dragon King often loses his temper with her. The Dragon Queen recalled her love with her husband in the past, and witnessed that the Dragon King was indifferent to herself now, and she did not feel sad, and shed tears.

One day, the Dragon King of the West Sea was depressed about having no children and daughters in the Longting. Suddenly, a young woman came to the sea patrol hag. Said she was spying in the Dragon Palace and was arrested and sent to the Dragon King for treatment.

When the Dragon King saw this beautiful woman, he was frightened out of his wits and longed for his son. He immediately drank the hag and ordered Cai Bulong Palace to take this woman as his concubine.

When the Dragon Queen heard that the Dragon King was concubinage, she went to visit the main hall. I didn't know that as soon as the Queen Dragon arrived at the main hall, he saw the musty smell and fog in the hall, and a crystal palace with sunshine was full of evil spirits. She went into the palace and studied the woman carefully, only to find that all the evil spirits in the temple had scattered from her.

In order to ensure the safety of the Dragon King, the Dragon Queen sang to the Dragon King with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, you and I have been together so far, and you have been so kind to me that I will never forget it even when I am in the grave. I'm also glad that you like to bring a new concubine today. Just choosing the right couple is no joke. I hope that your majesty will ask the origin of the new woman before marrying. "

At this time, the West Sea Dragon King has been fascinated by that woman, and he won't listen to a word from the Queen. The temptress already knew what she was doing, so she said to the Dragon King with a pretence, "Your Majesty, since the Queen of Dragons won't allow me, I will leave by myself." When the Dragon King saw that his concubine was leaving, he took his anger out on the Queen Dragon. He immediately slapped the dragon case, ordered the dragon queen to be driven out of the hall, and announced that the dragon queen would never return to the Dragon Palace.

When Cui Yun, the maid, saw that the Dragon King was trying to drive him away, she quickly knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, the Dragon King and your husband and wife have worked hard for you in Ganxin for many years. Never abandon the old for the new and lose your confidant. " At this time, the witch couldn't help it, so she added fuel to the fire and said, "Your Majesty, it seems to me that the Queen Mother Dragon has ulterior motives and wants you to cut off your descendants. If you don't drive her out of the Dragon Palace, you will be in trouble in the future. " Hearing this, the Dragon King repeatedly said yes, and then ordered the left and right sides to beat Choe Yun out of the Dragon Palace with disorderly sticks.

The other witch was none other than the Millennium snake spirit of Kaidu River. It turned out that Kaibu River and the West Sea dominated and harmed the herdsmen. Later, when she heard that the Jade Emperor sent Green Salon to the West Sea to be king, she quickly fled to Kaidu River. She has always held a grudge against the West Sea Dragon King. She wanted revenge, but she was powerless to resist. Later, when he learned that the Dragon King longed for his son, he turned himself into a peerless beauty and sneaked into the Dragon Palace to seduce the Dragon King. I didn't expect the Dragon King to be really fooled.

The enchantress was favored by the Dragon King and became more and more unscrupulous. She secretly ordered the transfer of the capital; Snakes, big and small, went to Bosten Lake to eat and kill the Dragon Palace guards. Ever since the dragon king took the snake demon as his concubine, he has been pestered by the demon girl all day, and he has no intention to ask about the state affairs and care about the people's feelings, resulting in the drought of a thousand miles, paraquat withering, land division, livestock death, herdsmen leaving their homes and complaining.

After the Dragon Queen and Cui Yun were driven out of the Dragon Palace, they lived on bark and grass roots all the way. They were in great pain when they saw the tragic situation of bones everywhere and people living in poverty. On this day, the hot sun hung high and steaming. After the dragon was old and weak, he couldn't walk any further, so he had to rest with Cui Yun on the side of the road.

When Sangala, a young herder, came back from digging wild vegetables, he saw an old woman and a weak woman lying on the side of the road. He suddenly felt pity and said, "Grandma, why are you here in such a hot summer?" Come home with me and have some cold water. Dragon and Cui Yun saw that Sangala was sincere and readily agreed.

The Dragon Queen and Cui Yun stayed in Sangala's house for a few days, and then left. Sangala said with tears, "Grandma, I lost my parents when I was a child, and I have no relatives around me. If your old man can understand my pity, please accept me as your son and I will certainly honor you. " When the Dragon Queen saw that Sangala was sincere, she agreed. Since then, Sangala has been as close to dragons as her mother, and has always been better than Cui Yun. The three of them lived alone and struggled.

Because of the depression of the dragon queen, she fell ill soon. Before he died, he called Sangala to his side and said, "Son, I was originally the Dragon King of the West Sea, but the Dragon King was fascinated by the witch and drove me and my maid Cui Yun out of the Dragon Palace, making this fertile grassland desolate for thousands of miles. I am old and sick now. I only hope that you can form a friendship with Cui Yun for a hundred years, drive away evil spirits at sea, benefit the people and let me die without regret. "

Hearing this, Sangala immediately said that he would avenge his mother and revitalize the grassland. The dragon queen was very happy and said, "You are an ordinary child. Since you have the determination to avenge and revitalize the grassland, mom, I will give you two treasures. As long as you hold these two treasures, you can deal with the dragon and the witch girl with Cui Yun. " Speaking of which, after the Dragon Queen asked Sangala and Cui Yun to bow down to heaven and earth together, she took off the golden hairpin on her head and blew it. Jin Chai turned into a sparkling Longquan sword. Then she spat out a pearl from her mouth and said to Sangala, "Son, I have cultivated this pearl for thousands of years. With it, you can avoid fire and water and be full of energy. Be sure to put it in your mouth when you go to sea, and never throw it away. " After that, the dragon queen closed her eyes and died.

Sangala and Cui Yun are deeply saddened. In order to avenge my mother as soon as possible, I had to bury the dragon queen on the west coast with grief.

After burying the dragon, the husband and wife avoided the sea and went to the Dragon Palace. I saw soldiers training with crabs, snakes, monsters and turtles. Sangala waved Longquan sword, and Cui Yun raised the red tassel gun and fought. Where the sword flashes, the crab head falls to the ground; When the silver spear was stabbed, the shrimp soldier died. Time is running out,

Outside the Dragon Palace, corpses were everywhere, and blood waves were rolling.

At this time, some survivors reported the old dragon snake demon. Hearing this, they were not surprised.

Hurriedly took up arms and went out to fight. Choe yun saw that the snake demon was jealous and stabbed him with his gun. When Sangala saw the dragon, his anger rose from his heart and he stabbed the dragon's heart with his sword. For a moment, only dark clouds covered the sun, evil waves soared, the Dragon Palace shook, and the earth shook. The snake demon tried to kill Cui Yun with his martial arts. Choe Yun, not to be outdone, had a new hatred and an old hatred in his heart. With one shot and one stab, he only killed the snake demon and quickly fled to the peacock estuary.

Cui Yun chased after him and killed him at the mouth of Peacock River. He split the snake demon in two with his sword. This Millennium snake essence turned over several times, and evil blood gushed and died.

After Sangala joined the Green Salon, the two sides were evenly matched, regardless of the outcome. Because Sangala's mouth contains the orb given by the dragon queen, the more he kills, the braver he is. He danced the dragon sword like a wheel, and the dragon went out to sea, which made the dragon dazzled and his ears numb. The dragon couldn't stand it and wanted to lean forward and escape. Sangala shouted, "Where are you going to escape from your body?" ! Who knows, this roar does not matter, but the orb in his mouth spit it out, and Sangala suddenly lost his strength. When the dragon saw this, he turned and came to Sangala. Sangala thought of his dead mother, hungry herders, barren grasslands ... trying to hold his body steady and aim at the sword on the reverse faucet. I saw the dragon shake a few times, foaming at the mouth, hunched over in pain, and died with a loud cry.

Sangala lost his orb and vomited blood to the ground due to overexertion.

Cui Yun killed the snake demon, but he didn't see Sangala. She hurried back to the Dragon Palace and saw her husband lying on the ground. She quickly stepped forward to help him. Who knows that Sangala is dead as a dragon. Cui Yun was heartbroken and shouted, "Sangala is waiting for me." He drew his sword and cut himself.

Since then, the body arched by the dragon has become a mountain in the middle of the lake, and the foam he spit out has become a salt pond on the edge of Bosten Lake.

The bodies of Sangala and Cui Yun turned into a pair of white swans. The pair of white swans hover over Bosten Lake every day, always thinking of their beautiful hometown and hardworking and brave people.
