This question seems nonsensical, but it actually has a deeper meaning, because the contrast between Sun Wukong and Bai Suzhen can actually be understood as a confrontation between Buddhism and Taoism.
Bai Suzhen was born in Qingcheng Mountain, Sichuan Province, is a white snake who has practiced for thousands of years, as a female ** under the seat of the old mother of Li Mountain, she has cultivated in Mount Emei, and her spells are strong.
Who is Li Shan's mother?
That is the myth and legend of the fairy, also known as the "Lishan old mother", Wudang Mountain Taoism called its Taoist name as Yuqing Holy Ancestor Zi Yuanjun, the legend of the old mother of Lishan across many eras, has extremely powerful mana, has a great influence in Chinese folk beliefs, many Taoist temples are enshrined in her holy icons.
If you haven't heard of the title of Li Shan's mother, then her brother Fuxi the Great and her mother Huaxu Niangniang have always heard of it.
Let's go a little more detailed, she is "Journey to the West" on the way of learning scriptures from Tang monks and apprentices, teaming up with Guanyin, Manjushri, and Fuxian to make a Mojiazhuang out, so that the three Bodhisattvas turned into three beautiful daughters Zhenzhen and ** pity, and Zhu Bajie was fascinated by Mao Bajie, and Elder Tang was teased with a red face.
In general, Bai Suzhen's "master" Li Shan's mother is a fairy with a very high status in the Taoist system, so Bai Suzhen is not an ordinary snake demon.
The earliest story of the formation of the White Lady recorded in writing is Feng Menglong's "Warning to the World", in this ** collection, Bai Suzhen is a snake demon who has practiced for thousands of years in Shaoxing during the Southern Song Dynasty, Xiaoqing is her maid, and the two met Xu Xuan (or Xu Xian), the king of the pharmacy in Hangzhou West Lake, and took shelter from the rain in the same boat, and fell in love at first sight. The white snake then had a desire to linger with the scholar, so he married him and became husband and wife.
However, in many subsequent film and television works and dramas, Bai Suzhen's mortal tribulations were adapted as being enlightened by the Bodhisattva, so the Taoist elements on Bai Suzhen's body were gradually diluted.
As for the mana of the White Lady, legend has it that she cultivated in Mount Emei, and her spells are strong. In the whole story, the one that best shows her mana is the Water Manjin Mountain.
In some ancient records with Bai Suzhen as the protagonist, the author often sets the power of the White Lady very high, and can even easily summon the Dragon King of the Four Seas for his own use.
So even if the White Lady has the magical power to control water independently, she was finally defeated by the golden bowl of Buddhism ** Fahai.
Speaking of returning to Sun Wukong's side, Sun Wukong's master Su Bodhi Patriarch is actually a character created in "Journey to the West", but his prototype is one of the top ten ** in Buddhism - Su Bodhi Venerable.
In Journey to the West, the words in "Man Ting Fang" taught by the patriarch to the woodcutter are "sit quietly and talk about the Yellow Garden", and the Yellow Court is a Taoist classic. When the patriarch lectured, "talk about the Tao for a while, talk about Zen for a while, and the three schools cooperate with the original", which shows that the patriarch is also the Buddha and the Tao, and has shown a trend of the same stream.
The immortals of the Three Realms, or to the Buddha, or to the Tao, or to the Buddha, the Tao to increase the value, Su Bodhi's great wisdom and knowledge is beyond the Buddha's way, and hidden outside the Buddha's way.
As we all know, Sun Wukong's seventy-two changes, somersault clouds, stealth techniques, and immobilization methods were all granted to it by Patriarch Subodhi, and this is only a drop in the bucket of the spells of the Patriarch.
Of course, this is also due to Sun Wukong's intelligent talent and extremely high understanding, so he can integrate and have the magical power to make trouble in the heavenly palace.
Needless to say, the place where Sun Wukong's mana is strong is needless to say, the White Lady needs to go to the Antarctic Immortal Weng to steal the fairy grass in order to save Xu Xian's life, Sun Wukong went directly to Taishang Laojun to ask for it, and the opening was a thousand pills.
The gods in the sky, the demon beasts in the ground, which one is not respectful to Sun Dasheng. Although it is a little unclear to eat Tang monk meat, every time I hear the name of Sun Wukong, those who know how to do it have already retreated.
So who has higher mana than Sun Wukong or the White Lady?
There is no doubt about this answer, of course it is the White Lady!(It's not).
Of course, it's Sun Dasheng, but I also think this question is unreasonable, because in my opinion, the two are not in the same mythological system at all.
The mythological system where Sun Wukong is located is even more "demonic", with gods, Buddhas and monsters all over the mountain, so it will appear that Sun Wukong is "mediocre", causing the audience to question its strength.
The White Lady can be regarded as living in the Southern Song Dynasty, where the fairy "public security" is relatively good, so her folk life is relatively smooth, and she rarely encounters demons who eat people and kill people, so it seems that her mana is strong.
If the two want to fight, for Sun Wukong, it is just another white-haired rat spirit.
