"Baolian Lantern" is also known as "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother", and its core plot revolves around the male protagonist Agarwood, who returns to the Split Mountain to rescue his mother who is trapped at the foot of Huashan Mountain in order to rescue his mother.
The work has been adapted into several film and television projects in recent years and continues to be warmly received by audiences.
However, to Goku's fans, this batch of film and television works does not seem to be so friendly.
In this drama, Sun Wukong, a strong man known as "fighting to defeat Buddha", has suffered a serious weakening.
Today, let's do a ranking of the top 10 players in "The Lotus Lantern" and "The Prequel of the Lotus Lantern" to see if they live up to your expectations.
10. The role of Monkey King.
In the work "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong is almost an invincible character, he dares to confront Rulai, and his attitude towards the Jade Emperor is completely disrespectful.
However, in the work "Baolian Lantern", Sun Wukong's performance seems to be a little inferior, although his combat ability is quite good, he is no longer regarded as a "top master."
The core reason why Sun Wukong can make such a change is still determined by his identity.
In the work "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong has not yet been given an official identity, but when he came to the place of Baolian Lantern, he was already honored as "fighting to defeat the Buddha." ”
At this moment, his behavior is no longer so urgent, he seems more mature and steady, and combined with the official identity of "fighting to defeat the Buddha", Sun Wukong's behavior has become more restrained.
Despite this, Sun Wukong's combat ability has still been greatly weakened. With the cooperation of Erlang God and Baolian Lantern, he can be easily defeated, which is why Sun Wukong can only be ranked tenth.
Nine, the existence of Erlang God.
Erlang God's combat strength is undoubted, and in the work "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong's appearance time far exceeds that of Erlang God.
However, in the work "Baolian Lantern", Yang Jian's appearances significantly exceeded that of Sun Wukong.
The relationship between the two characters in the play is tense and often clash, but judging from their records, Erlang God clearly has the advantage.
Wiped out the brothers of the Nine Golden Crows, the Three Heads of Jiaojiao and Meishan, and swept away the Wuji God of War and 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers.
Sun Wukong did not guard the door because he spoke, and his short words angered Yang Jian. Yang Jian took decisive action to suppress Sun Wukong, and Erlang God's sudden combat ability shocked Sun Wukong.
From this point of view, Yang Jian's combat strength in "Baolian Lantern" obviously surpassed Sun Wukong.
8. A creature called the golden cicada.
The golden cicada is actually Tang Seng's previous identity, and it is also the second ** of Rulai.
In the story of Journey to the West, Tang Seng always seems weak, but in the world of Baolian Lantern, Jin Chanzi is undoubtedly the most courageous character.
He has excellent combat strength, which is comparable to Yang Jian's combat strength.
Eventually, the sudden appearance of the Monkey King interrupted the dispute between the two.
However, Jin Chanzi made it clear after the incident: "In Buddhism, sentient beings should not kill, and it does not matter whether you win or lose." ”
With this in mind, the Golden Cicada's abilities may surpass that of Jiro God. If there is really a battle of life and death, the final result may be that the golden cicada will be harmed, and Erlang God will also lose his life.
7. Agarwood.
As the protagonist of the work "Baolian Lantern", Liu Agarwood's strength is beyond doubt.
At the beginning, he was indeed a novice, and even if he cooperated with Xiaoyu and others, he would not be able to defeat the roaring dog of the Erlang God.
After becoming the ** of Wukong Bajie, Liu Agarwood's strength has gradually been steadily improved. Thanks to Erlang God and Taishang Laojun and others paving the way for him in the shadows, a new chapter in his life began.
When the story progresses to the middle and late stages, Liu Agarwood's combat ability is already comparable to that of Sun Wukong, Erlang God and others, he has twice challenged the Thirty-Three Heavens, but later chooses to give up mana and start cultivating again.
After the test of the three trials of Kunlun Mountain, and with the blessing of all beings, he obtained the supreme mana. Coupled with the blessing of the Open Heaven Divine Axe and the Baolian Lamp, the combat power of Agarwood has far surpassed Yang Jian's level.
Sixth, a real person named Taiyi.
Taiyi Zhenren is a character in many myths**, he is Nezha's mentor, and he is one of the twelve immortals of Kunlun Yuxu.
In the performance of Baolian Lantern, Taiyi Zhenren's appearances are relatively small, and it can be said that he is a "supporting role", but it must be admitted that Taiyi Zhenren's ability is also quite outstanding.
In the play, he not only helped Yang Jian, the Three Virgins and other characters many times, but in addition to his strong strength, he also has a very high level of wisdom.
Nezha actually killed his ten fathers, and the Baolian lantern would not have been born" "Justice should not be neglected because of personal misfortunes", it can be seen from this that Taiyi Zhenren has a deep insight into things, and he is an extremely wise immortal.
Fifth, the real people of Yuding.
In the work "Baolian Lantern", Yuding Zhenren is described as the mentor of Yang Jian and Sun Wukong.
In daily life, Yang Jian always behaved casually and did not care too much, but his teachings were indispensable to Yang Jian.
Yuding Zhenren taught the skills of opening the eyes of the sky, soaring clouds and mist, and seventy-two changes to Erlang God.
When Sun Wukong fought with Erlang God, Yuding Zhenren's expression also revealed some unknown secrets.
Yuding Zhenren was obviously worried about Wukong's safety, but he didn't care about Yang Jian, which showed that he had already sensed that Yang Jian's strength surpassed Wukong's.
Moreover, they were able to find out about this matter effortlessly, which was enough to prove that the strength of Yuding Zhenren even surpassed the two of them.
Fourth, the Bodhisattva of Guanyin.
In the work "Journey to the West", Guanyin Bodhisattva may not have strong fighting ability, but in the performance of the Baolian lantern, she is indeed an awe-inspiring master.
In terms of combat effectiveness, Sun Wukong is slightly deficient compared to Erlang God, but Jin Chanzi has the ability to fight with Erlang God to a draw.
Let's take a look at the situation of Guanyin Bodhisattva?When faced with a golden cicada with the same strength as Yang Jian, she was able to capture it effortlessly, which was quite obvious from the extent of her easy shot.
Compared with Yang Jian, Wukong and others, Guanyin Bodhisattva's actual combat ability is more powerful.
3. Description of Taishang Laojun.
The reason why Taishang Laojun was arranged in such a position has its specific reasons behind it.
"The Lotus Lantern" feels like a work full of humorous elements, and it has successfully portrayed various masters into "funny characters", but that doesn't mean that their fighting prowess is not particularly good.
As mentioned above, Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren and others.
Taishang Laojun in the Baolian lantern seems to be an old man who is only good at alchemy and has a great sense of humor, which is probably because of some humorous and witty elements incorporated into film and television works.
After all, Taishang Laojun started his cultivation journey at the beginning of the creation of the world, and with such a long cultivation cycle, no matter how low Taishang Laojun's talent was, his internal strength could not be compared to Wukong and the others.
If calculated according to this standard, Taishang Laojun's position in the Baolian lamp should be at least in the top three.
Second, the existence called Nyolai.
In the work "Baolian Lantern", Rulai's combat strength is not clearly described, but there are many similarities with "Journey to the West". In the prequel part of the Lotus Lantern, Rulai tried to suppress Goku, but Goku had no ability to resist at all.
From this point of view, Rulai's ability has reached a fairly high level.
Before Goku officially gained his status, his strength had reached its peak, and Rulai had the ability to suppress him easily, so his strength was unquestionable.
Not to mention that after Wukong "turned positive", his strength was greatly reduced, and compared with Rulai, the gap was as high as 108,000 miles.
In many mainstream myths**, Rulai has always been regarded as the "ceiling" of combat power. Although Taishang Laojun's strength is not inferior, his strength may be slightly insufficient compared to Rulai.
1. The god of power.
In "Journey to the West", the Jade Emperor was so frightened by Sun Wukong that he hid under the table, and the Jade Emperor in the Baolian lamp was pointed at by Erlang God with a three-pointed and two-edged knife, and he didn't dare to speak.
When Agarwood was challenged in Kunlun Mountain, the god of power said something shocking: "As long as you sit on this chair, you can become the Jade Emperor." ”
Although this sentence was somewhat tested, judging from the shocked faces of the Jade Emperor and the others, it seemed that the god of power really had this ability.
Summary section. The above list is the ranking of the top ten masters of Baolian lantern.
