When interpreting Journey to the West, there has always been a debate, that is, 36 changes or 72 changes, which one is more powerful? Some people think that although the number of 36 changes is relatively small, it is a great supernatural power. The 72 changes that are more powerful than this number are much more powerful, because 72 changes are small skills. In fact, we can look at some details to see which of these two things is more powerful?
Detail 1: The gap in the ability to change
First of all, these two ** have one of their effects, that is, they can be turned into other things. So what are the differences when comparing things that change? We can see this from a conversation between Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong.
Bajie said: "Brother, you will change, but I will not." ”Therefore, if it is said that it is simply a change, then Zhu Bajie will lose quite badly. To put it simply, Sun Wukong can become whatever he wants, except for his monkey tail, there are no shortcomings in other things. This should be a matter of your own attributes, not a matter of changing spells.The walker said: "You also have thirty-six changes, how can not?" ”
Bajie said: "I will only change the mountain into a tree, the stone into a leprosy, the buffalo into a big fat man, if I become a little daughter, it will be a little difficult." ”
And Zhu Bajie is different, he can only get bigger, not smaller. Everyone should understand this situation, that is, I am at least a lot worse than the change Zhu Bajie.
Detail 2: The gap in the incidental functions
It doesn't matter if it's 36 or 72, it's a spell, and it comes with a lot of other magical powers. So, what does the supernatural power that comes with this Monkey King's 72 changes look like?
After I heard the sermon; There are seventy-two kinds of earthly changes; There is no shadow of the sun and the moon, and there is no obstacle to entering the golden stone; Water cannot be drowned, fire cannot be burned.Do you think such a thing is much more powerful than Zhu Bajie? At least Zhu Bajie is quite afraid of fire. And Sun Wukong is not afraid of fire, but only smoke. In the difficulty of the red child, Zhu Bajie was almost regarded as a roast pig. If Sun Wukong is not afraid of smoke because of his fiery eyes, it is estimated that this nephew is not Sun Wukong's opponent.
Detail 3: The gap between the status of the two sides
What is the best indication of strength? I think it should be the status of the two of them in the Heavenly Court. Then, everyone should understand the status of Sun Wukong.
Today, I declare you to be a 'Monkey King', and your official character is extremely good, but you must not act recklessly. The Monkey King Mansion has two divisions in the mansion: a quiet division and a tranquility division. There are immortal officials in the division, and they support them left and right.Although it doesn't matter what happens, at least he is a Zhengtian-level cadre. Because it has a Monkey King Mansion, it can open a mansion and set up a division. It is the treatment of a one-word king.
And Zhu Bajie is above the heavenly court, but he is just a commander of the Tianhe Water Army. To put it mildly, that is, a naval commander, compared to the Monkey King of the Zhengtian level, I think everyone should be able to feel the gap between the two. So, why is there such a gap? It is obviously because Zhu Bajie's strength is not as good as Sun Wukong, otherwise, Zhu Bajie would not have been beaten down by anyone if he made trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
On the whole, it is better for the monkey to be greedy at the beginning
So based on the above information, we can basically draw a conclusion, that is, Sun Wukong was not too greedy at the beginning, if it was us who ran to the Journey to the West, Bodhi Patriarch asked such a sentence. I'm sure people would say I want them all.
