Zhao Wenzhuo's version of Fahai caused a boom in a certain sound, and people were "carving insect skills, daring to make axes, Dawei Tianlong, Daluo spells, and Shizun Jizang." **.
This "Green Snake" released in 1993 was directed by Tsui Hark, although a long time has passed, "Fahai" is still popular on the Internet, which is inseparable from Zhao Wenzhuo's good looks and excellent play.
Some people praise Fahai as more powerful than Tang Seng, thinking that if it is replaced by Fahai, if you encounter a goblin, you don't need Sun Wukong to make a move, as long as you recite a spell, you can solve it, and the road to learning scriptures in the west will become easy and simple.
But is that really the case? The Western Heaven Sutra is initiated by Rulai, planned by Guanyin Bodhisattva, Tang Seng as the image spokesperson, and Sun Wukong and his apprentices to implement a "Buddhism Eastward Expansion" activity.
And Tang Seng is the second ** in Buddhism, and in the Tang Dynasty, he is the royal brother of Tang Taizong, and he is an extremely important link in learning scriptures from the West.
The importance of these two identities cannot be ignored, they are the second ** of Rulai, which ensures that Tang Seng has a firm belief in Buddhism, and there is no need to worry that he will give up in the process of learning scriptures.
At the same time, Buddhism will also go all out to assist Tang Seng to successfully obtain the scriptures. What is even more precious is that the status of Tang Taizong's royal brother, which proves that the Western Heaven Sutra has been officially recognized by the Tang Dynasty royal family.
After all, the propagation of Buddhism in Eastern Turkey first needs to be officially and legitimately recognized, not just the support of ordinary people.
After the terrifying experience of "underworld tourism", Tang Taizong deeply experienced the charm of Buddhism. In order to be able to continue his reign on the throne, he became a brother with Tang Seng and ordered Tang Seng to go to the West Heaven to retrieve the true scriptures.
Therefore, Tang Seng has become an important image spokesperson for the brand because of his noble status.
In contrast, although Fahai is also an eminent monk, in "The Legend of the White Snake", he obviously does not have the identity of Rulai's apprentice and the royal brother of the Tang Dynasty to show his importance.
In the movie "Green Snake", witnessing the scene of a pregnant woman giving birth actually triggered his inner demons, and even got entangled with the green snake. This shows that his Buddhahood is not unshaken.
In "The Legend of the White Snake", a monk not only does not practice well, but interferes in other people's marriages and shows compassion.
On the way to learn scriptures in the west, Tang Seng is a symbol of Buddhism, always above board, although in the face of the demon's **, he is timid but always maintains an innocent heart.
Even in the face of beauty, Tang Seng always adheres to the belief of learning scriptures.
Although it may be possible to subdue demons and eliminate the magic sea, it seems that it will take time to verify whether the gentle country can be conquered.
Another goal of Journey to the West is to use the immortality attribute of Tang Seng Meat, ** monster adventure, and then eliminate the demons of Xiniu Hezhou.
However, Fahai's flesh obviously can't attract youkai, and they don't make mistakes on their own initiative. If there is no clear reason, what right does the team have to exterminate them?
Why do people want Fahai to replace Tang Seng? Mainly because of his strong combat effectiveness. So, how much magic power does Fahai have? In the story of "The Legend of the White Snake", Fahai's main enemies are the Green Snake and the White Snake.
Although the Green Snake only has 500 years of cultivation, Fahai can still easily defeat it, but when facing the White Snake, he is a little powerless.
If it weren't for the suppression of the bowl and the Leifeng Pagoda, plus Bai Suzhen's violation of the Heavenly Strip (flooding the Jinshan Temple), Fahai might not have been able to defeat the White Snake.
During the Song Dynasty, the White Snake was regarded as a monster in the territory, and they belonged to the Southern Zhanbu Continent in the Journey to the West. However, after the sweep of the Zhenwu Emperor, there were very few powerful monsters on the Nanzhan Continent.
In the sixty-sixth chapter of Journey to the West, the patriarch describes the tranquility of Wudang Mountain and the tranquility of Taihe Palace, and also mentions the peaceful scenery of Haiyue and Qiankun Qingtai.
For a monster like the White Snake, it is obviously not valued by the True Martial Emperor, and it is even more insignificant compared to the monsters on the West Heaven Road.
Some monsters with a backstage can compete with Monkey King, such as the Black Bear Spirit, which is also the first opponent that Sun Wukong encounters when he comes out from the foot of the Five Elements Mountain.
The Samadhi Divine Wind of the Yellow Wind King is so powerful that even the green lion of Manjushri and the white elephant of Puxian are nowhere to be found; Zhenwu's turtle and snake group also lost their traces; Zilu's mule was blown by the wind and his clothes flew up, and Laojun's alchemy furnace was difficult to take care of; The birthday star's dragon beard fan was also put away; The queen mother's skirt and waist were blown off by the wind, and Nezha was unable to retrieve the sword in the box; The palm tower of the king of heaven is gone, and Luban's gold-headed drill is also hoisted; Both the Leiyin Baoque and the Zhaozhou Stone Bridge collapsed because of the wind.
The difficulties such as the samadhi true fire of the red child, the inverted horse poison of the scorpion spirit, and the golden light of the multi-eyed monster are in front of Fahai, although he has some force, but it is still a little impractical to sweep away the monsters on the West Heaven Road.
If Tang Seng is replaced by Fahai, the biggest advantage may be that he will not be confused by goblins, because Fahai has the ability to distinguish demons. However, if we do not go through these difficulties, how can we complete the eighty-one difficulties of learning from the scriptures?
On the way to learn scriptures in the west, the scripture learning team has a clear division of labor, Sun Wukong is responsible for subduing demons and eliminating demons, and Bajie and Sha Seng are in charge of luggage and horses. Sun Wukong's words also explain why Bajie and Sha Seng don't contribute much, because they have their own responsibilities.
If you add others, such as Fahai, then the work becomes more complicated and difficult.
In "Journey to the West", although Sun Wukong, Bajie and Sha Seng were former immortals, they were once man-eating monsters. Having a righteous monk Fahai meet them was obviously a test for him.
Although they were able to work together, the competition and contradictions between these immortals could not be avoided. Although Fahai is very powerful, in the face of an enemy like Sun Wukong, he can only rely on Guanyin's tightening spell to control.
February**Dynamic Incentive Program Even if Fahai becomes strong, he still needs to rely on Sun Wukong when he encounters strong opponents. If Fahai is replaced by Tang Seng, then the situation of learning scriptures will not change much.
