Lego Monkie King Set Easter Egg

Lego Monkie Kid fans, the Dragon of the East Palace Lego set includes a subtle detail from chapter 14 of Journey to the West. It's a painting of Zhang Liang repeatedly retrieving and placing a shoe on the immortal Huang Shigong's foot. The Dragon King uses this tale to instill perseverance in Monkey.

My thanks to Irwen Wong of the Journey to the West Library blog for pointing out the painting on the Lego set.

Huang Shigong also appears in a Southeast Asian religious trinity associated with Sun Wukong.
