Chapter 118 A Different Princess Heroine
-Princess Iron Fan could have returned to the divine world and heaven at the same time as her "memory awakened".
But at that time she discovered another very difficult problem.
That is the Samadhi True Fire on the Flaming Mountain, which cannot be completely eliminated.
Wildfires cannot burn it all; it will grow again with the spring breeze. This is a poem that describes the vitality of wild grass.
But in the Flaming Mountain where Princess Iron Fan was, no matter how she waved her palm-leaf fan, she would stir up strong winds and rain clouds.
They can only suppress it temporarily.
The "sparks" that will remain no matter what will eventually grow in the corners, and when the time is right, they will once again turn the entire Flaming Mountain into a sea of fire under high temperature.
Princess Iron Fan simply couldn't ignore this situation.
She survived the catastrophe with the help of the faith and incense of the villagers of "Flame Mountain".
This made it completely impossible for her to return to heaven alone while such a hidden danger still existed.
So she chose to stay, and looked forward to the day when she had practiced the banana fan to a certain level, and then she would use it to completely eradicate the Samadhi True Fire on the Flame Mountain.
Then it was during this process that she met the Bull Demon King.
At that time, the Bull Demon King did not know that she was a goddess. He simply thought that Princess Iron Fan was a kind-hearted monster.
Princess Iron Fan originally didn't want to get too close to such a buffalo spirit.
But as a goddess, even though she has gone through disasters and reincarnated as a banana tree demon, her lifespan is still beyond the reach of ordinary humans.
She watched with her own eyes the familiar villagers around her pass away one after another.
This destined separation of life and death caused her to gradually stop talking to humans, which also made the demon Bull Demon King the only person Princess Iron Fan could confide in for thousands of years.
Later, over time, they gradually developed feelings for each other and even gave birth to their own children.
At that time, Princess Iron Fan thought that since this was the case, she might as well stay in the human world and accumulate merit.
In this way, when she dies in the human world and returns to the divine world in heaven, she will be able to gain more merits at one time.
However, who would have thought that she had been expending her magical powers to control the fire in the Flaming Mountain for thousands of years.
In the process of waving the palm-leaf fan again and again, she actually absorbed a lot of the Samadhi True Fire's heat into her body.
Although these trace amounts of anger were not noticeable, they changed Princess Iron Fan's physique little by little over hundreds and thousands of years.
So much so that when Red Boy came into being, he almost possessed the top combat power representing the Samadhi True Fire from birth.
The Samadhi True Fire appeared on the body of a monster. If it were any other day, it would definitely be a joyful ceremony, but for the Bull Demon King, at this moment he only felt that there was a large green grassland on his head.
How can a child born from a plant of the wind element and a buffalo be of the fire attribute?
Although the Bull Demon King did not speak in front of the child at that time, he had indeed begun to plant the seeds of doubt.
The Bull Demon King suspected that Red Boy was the result of Princess Iron Fan's affair with other monsters.
He even suspected at one point that the reason Princess Iron Fan came to the Flaming Mountain to put out the fire every few years was because she hoped her lover could practice successfully.
This can be said to be a very ridiculous mistake. Princess Iron Fan explained it, but the stubborn Bull Demon King didn't listen to it at all.
In the process, he even hooked up with the Jade-faced Fox who had opened a stronghold on another hill.
Princess Iron Fan originally wanted to confront him for this, but later she began to realize that there was no need for her to explain at all.
You have not made any mistakes, so if the other party has any twisted ideas, you don't need to explain them at all.
What's more, she didn't want to spend all her energy on a scumbag.
So she blasted the Bull Demon King out of the Flaming Mountain and chose to live with her child alone.
It is true that the conflict between her and Bull Demon King was a misunderstanding.
But she, who has always had a clear conscience, no longer has the heart to explain to a cheating and unfaithful man.
But who would have thought that it was during this period that she and her son stayed indoors for a long time.
The villagers of Huoyan Mountain, who have been reincarnated for several generations, can no longer recognize the goddess who used to come and perform surgery on them every few years.
Her powerful strength has become a deadly threat in the eyes of ordinary people.
People even gave her a nickname called "Rakshasa Woman".
The former gods were misunderstood as monsters.
Princess Iron Fan was very puzzled, but at this moment she no longer cared about these things.
She put all her attention and focus on her son.
She thought that Red Boy's ability to master the Samadhi Fire must be a blessing from God.
She thought that as long as Red Boy could practice well, he would one day be able to completely absorb the Samadhi Fire on the Flaming Mountain.
Then she can ascend back to the divine realm with her son after accumulating enough merit.
The story up to this point can be said to be a story about a very strong female protagonist who understands responsibility and self-love.
But she still missed some things.
For example, when she chose to go through the tribulations, what she experienced was actually not just the tribulation of love.
But it was during this step-by-step preparation process that her son suddenly started to go crazy.
The reason is that he practiced the "evil magic" prepared by his father. The young Red Boy went astray because of his desire for power.
Wind and Wood, facing Red Boy with the Samadhi True Fire, Princess Iron Fan, who has always only known how to awaken life through the breeze, is completely unable to continue correcting the path of cultivation she has prepared for her son.
Red Boy became a demon because of the difficulty in controlling the Samadhi Fire. She was eager to find an opportunity to make up for her mistakes, but this also caused a demon in her heart.
At that moment, she suddenly realized that the flames of the Flaming Mountain were indeed a disaster that she had encountered, but that was only the beginning of this disaster.
In this way, this mother and son, who were originally looking forward to ascending to heaven together after completing their merits, accidentally fell into an impasse that was difficult to resolve.
A fallen demon cannot complete the tribulation, and Princess Iron Fan no longer appeared in public from then on.
She used her last bit of strength to seal the evil nature of Red Boy and sent him away from the Flame Mountain, while she herself stayed in the Flame Mountain for a long time with the evil spirit in her body.
It was not until later, when Tang Sanzang went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, that the hostility between them was gradually resolved after he asked Guanyin to take in Red Boy and during his trip to the Flaming Mountain.
The princess has the core of a heroine, and she also knows how to fulfill her responsibilities.
This can be said to be Jia Wenyan’s favorite script setting so far.
Not only did they explain all the designs in the script, but they also perfectly gave the original work new life through this secondary creation without affecting the logic.
They have given new life to Princess Iron Fan, a character whose story had contradictions due to the lack of setting.
Although the subsequent ending is limited by the original work, it is not possible to give everyone an ending where the protagonist solves the problem himself as most viewers expect.
But this is inevitable in the adaptation of the original novel. At least before "Journey to the West" broadcasts the Flaming Mountain unit plot, they must not create any logical conflicts with the existing story.
Because in the story of Journey to the West, the part where Tang Monk and his disciples pass through the Flaming Mountain cannot be changed in any way.
If Princess Iron Fan wants to completely solve the Samadhi Fire of Flame Mountain, she will need a longer time to practice and improve.
Jia Wenyan thinks this is a very good story, and most importantly, it breaks the public's limitations of traditional "princess" stories.
She is a princess and a mother. She sticks to her duties and knows how to admit her mistakes.
The character of Princess Iron Fan in this story is far more complete than that of princesses in traditional fairy tales.
Princess Iron Fan in this story chapter is definitely qualified to be a member of the Yong'an princess group.
She could even imagine that they would use the image of Princess Iron Fan to promote traditional clothing culture on the Internet.
From the goddess in heaven at the beginning, to the mountain god in the Flaming Mountain, and even the demon who fell into the evil path later.
There is so much room for development of these three characters.
But at the same time, if this story is to be adapted into a film or TV series, several issues must be addressed in advance.
for example……
"The question of the ending of the movie."
The storyline prepared by the bidding company is very complete, but the question is if they use this story as the opening of the Princess Yongan series, will it appear a bit top-heavy.
A goddess who is capable and understands responsibility in the early stages of the story, but in the end needs to rely on the help of others to make up for her mistakes.
It’s not that strong people can’t accept help from others, but for a movie, such a setting makes it impossible to feel the growth of the heroine.
What is the difference between this and the princess movies in Jia Wenyan's eyes, where the princess is portrayed very well in the early stages but must need a prince to save her in the end.
She doesn't think about it now, so she has to wait for the whole network to say something.
The person riding a white horse may not necessarily be a prince, could it also be Tang Monk?
"What do you think about us compressing the timeline of the plot?"
"As for the story itself, we definitely need Tang Seng and his disciples to solve the problem of Princess Iron Fan's fall from grace, but we absolutely cannot hastily end it with the plot of her recovering and putting out the fire with a few fans."
Zhen Shuwang: "I see. I understand what you mean. Even if Princess Iron Fan wakes up with the help of Tang Monk and his disciples, she can only temporarily put out the fire, allowing Tang Monk and his disciples to continue passing."
"But at the end of the story, Princess Iron Fan must have woken up and continued her journey of practicing hard to extinguish the Samadhi True Fire, right?"
Jia Wenyan: "Yes, the story can end with an open ending where she continues to work hard, or it can end with her fulfilling her mission and reuniting with her son many years later."
"In short, we must avoid the character's image being top-heavy. She can accept help from others, but in the end, when it comes to achieving her goal, it must be based on her own efforts."
