译 character breakdown

old variant of 降[jiang4]

= + : Mnemonic symbol: 金星, the old fellow who descended twice from heaven to coax Sun Wukong to follow him to the heavenly court.

Some time ago Joan of Arc set up an antenna on top of the anglepod, but one day Jin Xing descended down from heaven to loudly complain about it. As he was walking in his high heels through the heavenly mists, he stumbled over the antenna and broke one of his high heels. He finds Joan of Arc in the anglepods bathroom, complains about the antenna and throws his broken high heel to her feet, before he finally ascends to the heavens again. Joan of Arc completely misunderstands the event and thinks that god sent her a messenger, assigning her her secret mission.
