Kisah dan tradisi
Siluman Kalajengking adalah antagonis dalam novel klasik Journey to the West. Wujud asli tokoh ini adalah kalajengking raksasa sebesar pipa. Sengatan ekornya mampu melukai Buddha dan Sun Wukong dalam cerita. Ia menghuni Pipa Cave di Venom Mountain, dekat Women's Kingdom. Ia menculik Tang Sanzang dan berusaha membujuknya menikah. Maori Xingguan menundukkannya dengan berubah menjadi ayam jantan raksasa berjengger dua. Teks novel sendiri menjelaskan wujudnya melalui ucapan sang Bodhisattva: garpu bermata tiga milik siluman itu adalah sepasang capit, dan tusukan yang menyakitkan datang dari kait ekor bernama daoma du. Di novel itu juga diceritakan bahwa ia pernah menusuk ibu jari Rulai di Kuil 雷音寺. Sun Wukong menyebut tempat gurunya tertawan di Gua 琵琶洞. Dalam episode yang sama, sang penguasa bintang tampil sebagai ayam jantan berjengger ganda; kokokannya membuat siluman itu menampakkan wujud kalajengking sebesar pipa dan akhirnya mati.
The Scorpion Demoness is an antagonist in the classic novel Journey to the West. The character's true form is a giant scorpion the size of a pipa. Her tail sting can injure both the Buddha and Sun Wukong in the story. She lives in Pipa Cave on Venom Mountain near the Women's Kingdom. She abducts Tang Sanzang and tries to persuade him to marry her. Maori Xingguan defeats her by becoming a giant rooster with two combs. The novel itself explains her form through the Bodhisattva's words: the demoness's three-pronged fork is a pair of pincers, and the painful sting comes from a tail hook called daoma du. It also tells that she once stung Rulai's thumb at the Temple 雷音寺. Sun Wukong names the cave 琵琶洞 as where his master is held. In the same episode the star official appears as a double-crested rooster whose crowing makes the demoness show her true form as a pipa-sized scorpion and finally die.
