Chapter 48 Chapter 18 Strong Gathered—Who is the most invincible in "Journey to the West"

I believe that many readers have had such an interest in ranking all the characters in the book according to their mana, and then get a candidate for the number one in the world, so Patriarch Subhuti, Tathagata Buddha, Taishang Laojun, Zhenyuan Daxian, Zen Master Wuchao, etc. will often become the top candidates. There are also many readers who want to make a big ranking of all the monsters that appear on the road to learn scriptures, and then find out the most powerful monsters, and many people want to compare those powerful monsters with Monkey King, so there are many sayings that Monkey King The ranking among the monsters is actually not in the top ten, and in the entire powerhouse, it is even less in the top fifty.There was even a dispute over who is the most powerful monster in the movie. Some people insisted that the nine-headed lion was the most powerful, some people supported the golden-winged roc, some strongly pushed the nine-headed worm, some said it was the yellow wind monster, and some said it was the monster. Bull Demon King, some people say that he is actually a scorpion spirit. Of course, there are also centipede spirits, red boys, and black bear spirits. The yellow-browed old monster and the one-horned king are also popular candidates. This is really a matter of opinion. , the wise sees the wisdom, so who is the most powerful monster?

In the author's opinion, this kind of ranking is actually meaningless, because there are no rules for ranking, and Wu Chengen's Journey to the West is not number one. This is not an excuse, but the Journey to the West described by Wu Chengen is really a complex and changeable world, a world with chaotic rules. Every strong man has his own strong capital, but they are all different. Who is the most powerful? Strong, it is impossible to draw a conclusion that is correct and can convince the public. Moreover, Wu Chengen created many strong men, not to show who is stronger and who is the strongest, but to express a simple truth that there is no permanent strength or weakness in the world.

Maybe you don't understand, don't worry, the author will analyze it slowly. For example, the scorpion essence is very powerful, and Sun Wukong, who can sting, has nothing to do. It is even worse for Guanyin Bodhisattva to admit that it is not as good as the West Heaven Buddha. That is to say, the scorpion essence is stronger than the Tathagata Buddha.But the scorpion spirit couldn't beat the Pleiades star officer, and the Pleiades star officer showed his original shape. He only needed to call twice, and the scorpion spirit died suddenly.So we came to a conclusion that the Pleiades star official is stronger than the scorpion spirit and the Tathagata Buddha.Then can we say that the Pleiades Star Official is more powerful than the Buddha?

The Pleiades star official is as powerful as the Buddha, which is an absurd conclusion no matter how you look at it.Don't say that the Pleiades star official is as powerful as the Buddha, he is far behind Sun Wukong. After all, when Sun Wukong made troubles in the Tiangong, Mantian Xingxiu, as a warrior among the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, participated in the battle. The Pleiades Star Official is really stronger than Monkey King, and there will be no Tathagata Buddha participating in the battle when there is a disturbance in the Heavenly Palace. This is just one example. Another example is the Yellow Wind Monster. Sun Wukong can hardly resist the sand of the Yellow Wind Monster. Is Monkey King great?The author thinks not.

According to the honorary title Sun Wukong received after completing his study of Buddhist scriptures—Dou Sheng Buddha, it can be seen that he is ranked above the Twelve Bodhisattvas in Lingshan. How can the three characters "Sheng" and "Sheng" deserve a title of "Buddha"?Some people may say that Tang Seng also became a Buddha?Doesn't Tang Seng have no mana?Note that Tang Seng has shed the mortal womb and returned to the golden body after taking the scriptures and completing the eighty-one difficulties. He was originally the second eldest disciple of the Tathagata, Jin Chanzi, and the Great Immortal Zhenyuan respected him three points back then. , after recovering Jin Chanzi's identity, why is his mana not strong?Some people may say again that Monkey King is not as powerful as Avalokitesvara, otherwise why is he so afraid of Avalokitesvara?The author believes that Guanyin Bodhisattva is not more powerful than Monkey King, and there is no affirmation or similar words in the book.Avalokitesvara is really more powerful than Monkey King. How could she stand by and watch when Monkey King made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace?Why would she recommend Erlang Shen to play?How could she propose to attack Monkey King with the jade bottle?Moreover, in the previous process of subduing monsters on the road to learn scriptures, Guanyin's performance was not remarkable. For example, to subdue the black bear spirit and red boy, Guanyin relied on deceit and the forbidden and golden hoop curses given to her by Tathagata , Even to subdue the carp essence that ran out of his own pond, he had to get up early in the morning to weave flower baskets and make utensils. He couldn't tell the difference between the real and the fake Monkey King. Where could he be better than Monkey King?Sun Wukong is afraid of Guanyin Bodhisattva, not because he is afraid of the magic power of Guanyin, but because he is afraid of the magic spell mastered by Guanyin.If Guanyin Bodhisattva is not as good as Sun Wukong, then Lingji Bodhisattva is even worse. As for Manjusri Bodhisattva, who can be caught by the Imperial Forest Army and soaked in the Yushui River for three days, there is no need to say anything about mana.

Lingji Bodhisattva is not as good as Sun Wukong, but he can subdue the yellow wind monster who defeated Sun Wukong. It seems to be a very illogical thing, but in fact there is no other, because he has the dragon stick and the wind-fixing pill that are specially used to restrain the yellow wind monster.If there is no Flying Dragon Stick and Fengding Pill, let alone Lingji Bodhisattva, I am afraid that the Tathagata will not be able to end.In the book, there is an exaggeration of the strength and harm of the yellow wind of the yellow wind monster-the world is cold and the sky is changing, and the yellow sand is swirling without a shadow or form.Pass through the forest and fold the ridge to pour the pine and plum, sow the soil and raise the dust to collapse the ridge.The waves of the Yellow River are completely muddy, and the waters of the Xiangjiang River are surging.Bitian vibrates the bullfighting palace, trying to blow down the Senluo Palace.The five hundred arhats were making noise, and the eight great king vajras were making noise.Manjusri left the green-haired lion, and the white elephant of Samantabhadra was hard to find.Zhenwu tortoises and snakes lost their flock, and Zi's mules were gone.The merchant shouted to the sky, and Shaogong made all kinds of wishes.Yanbo's life flows in the waves, fame and wealth and the rest of his life follow the water.The fairy mountain cave is dark, and the island of Penglai is dark.Laojun couldn't take care of the alchemy furnace, and the birthday star took the dragon beard fan.The Queen Mother was going to go to the flat peaches, and the wind blew off her skirt and waist.Erlang lost his way in Guanzhou City, and Nezha couldn't get the sword in the box.The king of heaven did not see the palm tower, and Luban hung the golden head drill.Leiyin's treasure tower fell down three floors, and Zhaozhou's stone bridge collapsed in two.A round of red sun is dim, and the sky is full of stars.Birds from the Nanshan Mountains fly to the North Mountains, and the water from the East Lake flows to the West Lake.The male and female are separated and do not call each other, and it is difficult to call when the mother and child are separated.The Dragon King looked for Yasha all over the sea, and Lei Gong looked for lightning everywhere.The ten kings of Hades searched for judges, and the bull's head of the underworld chased after the horse's face.This wind blows down Putuo Mountain and rolls up a volume of Guanyin Sutra.The white lotus unloaded the sea and flew, blowing down the twelve courtyards of Bodhisattvas.Pangu has seen the wind so far, but it doesn't seem that the wind is not good.Hulala, the universe will never explode and collapse, and the mountains and rivers will tremble!This kind of severe yellow wind is probably only comparable to the sandstorm in Beijing. Can the Tathagata Buddha take care of it?The author even wonders how the Yellow Wind Monster escaped from the eyes of the powerful Tathagata Buddha back then. Perhaps the reason is very simple. After the special magic weapon Feilong Zhang and Dingfeng Pill were produced, a Lingji Bodhisattva was sent to test it.If the flying dragon stick is in the hands of Lingji Bodhisattva, the Yellow Wind Monster can't beat Lingji Bodhisattva; if the Flying Dragon Stick is in the hands of Sun Wukong, the Yellow Wind Monster can't beat Sun Wukong either.

Red Boy is very similar to Yellow Wind Monster, they both have a unique ability, but apart from fire, their own abilities are very limited, as long as his fire is extinguished, it will be easy to subdue him. In the same way, Monkey King is afraid of the golden light of the centipede spirit, but Pilan Bodhisattva is not. Pilan Bodhisattva is an old hen spirit, so is he more powerful than Monkey King?not necessarily! As for saying that the Golden Winged Roc is stronger than Monkey King, there is no strong evidence to support it. The Green Lion, White Elephant, and Golden Winged Roc besieged Monkey King, and Sun Wukong could calmly fight off the weapons of the three bosses To escape, the three of them fought alone, and none of them was Monkey King's opponent.This is like Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fighting Lu Bu, no one is Lu Bu's opponent.If it is better than Monkey King, then the author can only say that Dapeng may be better than Monkey King in terms of speed.

As for the one-horned king and the yellow-browed old monster, they are both monsters who rely on magic weapons to win, so it is not enough to comment. The black bear spirit is slightly inferior to Sun Wukong, and there is a conclusion in the book; the bull devil's ability is the same as that of Sun Wukong, but his body is hammered, which is also a conclusion in the book, and the verdict cannot be overturned. If it is really capable, maybe the nine-headed worm and the nine-headed lion are okay. One scares Monkey King, and the other swallows Monkey King without causing Monkey King to attack in his stomach. These two are strong monsters.But after careful analysis, Nine-Headed Insect is even afraid of Erlang God's Roaring Dog, so how strong can it be?Sun Wukong was swallowed by nine lions, more like it was done deliberately.

Speaking of this, some readers may call the author a monkey idiot, deliberately beautifying Monkey King in every possible way.In fact, the author's intention is not here. Most of the previous analysis is joking. What the author really wants to explain is that the Journey to the West described by Wu Chengen is not a simple one-on-one world. The strong are in front of everyone. The strong and the weak are weak in front of everyone.Journey to the West is actually a world that pays attention to one thing and one thing, and has specialization in art. The scorpion can't beat a rooster, but it can sting the Tathagata Buddha; the Tang monk has no power to restrain the rooster, but he can restrain the Monkey King, which is to illustrate this truth.

Therefore, there is no eternal strong or unchanging weak in the world, only the truly wise.Who is the real wise man?The real wise men are those who know how to use the power of others to deal with their own enemies. They use their wisdom instead of their strength, and use their strength to fight their strength. This is a wise man. In other words, a wise man is someone with a wide network of connections. Sun Wukong's strength does not lie in his ability to change seventy-two times, his sharp eyes, his ability to somersault, let alone his golden cudgel, but his endless connections. This is his true strength!It is also the reason why he is strong.

In the world of Journey to the West, there may be such an unwritten law that without connections, it is difficult to make any progress on the westward journey. This is probably the case in the real world today. There is no constant strength or weakness in the world, only constant wisdom, and the wise are only good at borrowing external forces.This is just a truth that the author realized from it, and what happened to Monkey King gave the author another inspiration. Sun Wukong has sharp eyes, but the wind of the yellow wind monster and the fire of the red boy can restrain the golden eyes of Sun Wukong; It can turn somersault clouds, and the golden-winged roc's wings and the nine-headed lion's big mouth can restrain Monkey King's somersault clouds. This may explain another truth, people often fall on the ability that they are most proud of. Isn't there a saying that goes like this, good swimmers drown, good riders fall.As the saying goes, those who drown are those who know how to water. How did Bai Yutang, who was proficient in hidden weapon tricks, die in the end?Didn't he just die in a hidden weapon trap? Immortals sometimes miss, so even if you are doing what you are best at, please take it easy.
