Journey to the West Folk Sayings 37 An Unquenchable Fire

Sun Wukong and the Untamable Fires of Red Boy This text recounts a failed attempt by Sun Wukong to rescue his master from the formidable Red Boy. After a physical stalemate, the Monkey King is forced to retreat when his opponent unleashes the Samadhi True Fire, a supernatural flame he cannot defeat alone. On the advice of his companions, he enlists the Four Dragon Kings to conjure a massive rainstorm to extinguish the blaze. However, the plan fails because the celestial water is only effective against mundane fire and cannot quench magical flames. Ultimately, the heroes are forced to flee, proving that divine intervention from the dragons is insufficient against the Red Boy'sunique power. Based on the text provided, the story focuses on a specific conflict between Sun Wukong (The Monkey King) and Red Boy (Hong Hai'er) at the Fire Cloud Cave. Here is the core situation described in the sources: • The Conflict: Red Boy has captured Wukong's master. When Wukong challenges him, Red Boy uses a powerful magical attack called "Three-flavored True Fire" (Samadhi Fire). • The Failed Solution: At Zhu Bajie's suggestion, Wukong recruits the Four Sea Dragon Kings to rain down on the fire. • The Outcome: Ordinary rain cannot extinguish the magical True Fire, and Wukong is forced to retreat. Why did the Dragon Kings' rain fail against Red Boy's fire? How does Sun Wukong's battle strategy change during the encounter? What are the unique properties of the Three Flavors True Fire?
