Readers who have read "Journey to the West" know that when Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, Taishang Laojun was helpless against Sun Wukong, and as soon as the Buddha made a move, he defeated Sun Wukong, and even sealed Sun Wukong under the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years. In this way, many readers think that Taishang Laojun's strength can't beat the Buddha.
In the gods and goddesses in mythological books, they have a hierarchy, and this rank is distinguished by the level of strength. Judging from the content of the book, it is called one ancestor, two saints, three Qings, four emperors and five elders, and the Jade Emperor is more special, his status is between the three Qings and the four emperors, and he is an immortal who is in charge of all things in heaven and earth.
We all know the Monkey King who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he jumped out of a fairy stone, and later worshiped Bodhi Patriarch as a teacher and cultivated to become a Taiyi Golden Immortal. However, at this time, Sun Wukong learned somersault clouds and seventy-two changes, and even had the legendary innate treasure, that is, the Dinghai God Needle.
At this time, Sun Wukong, although the realm is Taiyi Golden Immortal, but because Sun Wukong learned spells and the magic weapon he has, he can make him fight beyond the level, and even fight against the Mixed Yuan Daluo Golden Immortal. On top of the Queen Mother's peach meeting, Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and also stole the Queen Mother's peach, and even ate the elixir of Taishang Laojun. At this time, Sun Wukong's realm rose one level and became a mixed yuan Daluo Jin Immortal.
Later, after Tai Bai Xing's suggestion, he gave Sun Wukong a false name, called Monkey King, which is the same name as the Jade Emperor. Although he is the Monkey King, Sun Wukong's cultivation will not be the same as that of the Jade Emperor, and the current Sun Wukong, the Jade Emperor only needs one finger to make Sun Wukong fall instantly.
After a period of time, Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and even wanted to replace the Jade Emperor and become the new master of the Three Realms. Later, the Jade Emperor sent 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to Huaguo Mountain to arrest Sun Wukong, but he still couldn't beat him. Later, the Jade Emperor sent Jiuyao and Ten Capitals, but he still couldn't defeat Sun Wukong.
The first time he couldn't beat Sun Wukong, the Jade Emperor called Qiyuan Baji, and continued to lead 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to capture Sun Wukong, but he still couldn't beat Sun Wukong. Later, Sun Wukong directly hit the heavenly court, and the Jade Emperor called the Buddha to defeat Sun Wukong, and finally sealed Sun Wukong under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years.
From this point of view, we can know that the Buddha is a subordinate of the Jade Emperor, because the immortals sent by the Jade Emperor to arrest Sun Wukong are all from low to high status, so we can know that the status of the Jade Emperor in the book is above the Buddha. Sun Wukong is in the book, he is just a king of ten thousand demons, and he has learned a little cultivation, if the Jade Emperor directly sends the three clear and four emperors to arrest Sun Wukong, this will be a bit of a fuss, and it will make people feel that there is no material to be made in heaven.
Therefore, the Jade Emperor sent out to capture the immortals of Sun Wukong, and their status was from low to high. I remember that in the book, when Sun Wukong hit the thirty-three layers of heaven, the Jade Emperor said, "Go and call the Buddha and let him catch the demon monkey." As soon as he finished speaking, the Buddha appeared, stretched out a huge golden palm, and grabbed Sun Wukong at once.
And the Jade Emperor saw Taishang Laojun, which is such an act. I remember that in the book, Taishang Laojun came to the Yunxiao Treasure Palace, and the Jade Emperor hurriedly got up from his seat and bowed to Taishang Laojun. From this point of view, we can know that the status of Taishang Laojun is above the Jade Emperor.
Taishang Laojun is one of the three Qings in the book, and as mentioned earlier, the status of the Jade Emperor is between the three Qings and the four emperors. The well-known Buddha is one of the five elders of the five directions in the book, and his status is even lower than that of the four emperors. Therefore, the Buddha is a subordinate of the Jade Emperor in the book.
In the seventh chapter, it was mentioned in the book that Taishang Laojun had an innate treasure, born before Chaos, and his name was Vajra Bracelet. I remember that in the book, it was said that Taishang Laojun refined this magic weapon when he turned Hu into a Buddha. From this point of view, the master of the Buddha may have been enlightened by Taishang Laojun, and the master of the Buddha is the Buddha who burns the lamp in the book.
Therefore, the ranking in mythological books is not arbitrarily arranged, and the rankings of the three Qings, the four emperors and the five elders, and even the Sanqing are not randomly arranged. Sanqing is the collective name of the three immortals, they are Yuan Shi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun and Taishang Laojun, and the most powerful immortal in Sanqing is the Yuan Shi Tianzun, the head of Sanqing. **10,000 Fans Incentive Plan
