Let's take a look at a scene in "Journey to the West" first, which takes place after Sun Wukong came out of the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun.
When he opened his eyes and saw the light, he couldn't help it, jumped out of the Dan furnace, and with a sudden sound, he knocked down the Bagua furnace and walked out. panicked about the fire, watched the stove, and Ding Jia and his group came to fight, and he was put down one by one, like a white-fronted tiger with epilepsy and a unicorn dragon with a madness. Lao Jun caught up and grabbed a handful, was slammed by him, pinched an upside-down green onion, and got out and left.That's right, the dignified ancestor Taishang Laojun was thrown by Sun Wukong "upside down", that is, on his head and feet.
Many readers see this and are completely unacceptable.
After all, at other times in the book, Taishang Laojun is not "a holy blacksmith who creates divine weapons" (Laojun has built a golden hoop stick, a nine-toothed nail rake, and a bell with a golden retriever); It is "a fairy boss who integrates all kinds of magical magic weapons" (Lao Jun has banana fans, bundled fairy ropes, purple gold red gourds, seven-star swords, King Kong Zhuo, etc.).
In addition, Taishang Laojun is simply an anti-heaven existence in the book, not only turning Hu into a Buddha, but also "the ancestor of opening the heavens and the earth" (the eighty-sixth chapter of Journey to the West, Wukong said). His mana is also profound, Sun Wukong put the Golden Horn King and the Silver Horn King into the gourd, and they all turned into anger, and Lao Jun could be resurrected by stretching out his hand.
Moreover, Taishang Laojun's status is also very high, although he is not as good as the Jade Emperor, but at least his seniority is higher than that of the Jade Emperor. When Lao Jun went to see the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother also had to come out to greet him (four more Great Heavenly Masters came to play: "The Taishang Dao Ancestor is here. The Jade Emperor went out to greet the Queen Mother. )。
Such a big guy, how could he be thrown upside down by Sun Wukong? It's a shame too!
So, many readers came out and said that Taishang Laojun deliberately released water, deliberately let Wukong fall, and let Wukong go. Trying to use this reason to explain such a "strange" phenomenon.
Actually, it's not surprising at all.
You must know that the immortals in the heavenly court are not both civil and military. Many immortals have low skills and can't even fight. Because the author doesn't know what the gods are like, the heavenly court is just a reflection of the human court, and the gods are also divided into civil and military.
That's right, immortals also have civil officials and military attachés, and not all immortals can fight.
For example, when Wukong first went to heaven to be an official, the Jade Emperor asked Wenxuan to choose immortals to see if he lacked official positions.
The Jade Emperor Xuanwen selected the martial arts to select Xianqing, and saw that there were few official positions, and Sun Wukong removed the award. Turning to Wuqu Xingjun next to him, he said: "There are many officials in all palaces and halls in the Heavenly Palace, but there is a lack of a main hall manager in the Imperial Horse Supervisor. The Jade Emperor said: "Just get rid of him and be a 'Bi Ma Wen'." ”The "literary selection" and "military selection" here are the immortals who are responsible for selecting civil officials and military generals. It can also be explained that in the sky, there are penny immortals and martial gods.
Like Li Jing, the Heavenly King of Tota, Nezha, the Giant Spirit God, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the Nine Yao Star Officials, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Twelve Yuanchen, and even the Wuyue Emperor, etc., all belong to military attachés, so when the Jade Emperor sent people to conquer Huaguo Mountain, he asked Li Jing to command these people.
And Taishang Laojun, Tai Bai Xing and others all belong to civil officials. It is even said that the three Qing and four royals, Fu Lu Shou and the three immortals are also civil officials. And in the Western Heavens, many Bodhisattvas and Buddhas are also civil officials.
Let's give you a few examples.
Manjushri is a civil official, and he knows nothing but change. When he went to ignite the king of the Wuji Kingdom, he became an ordinary monk, but he was tied up by the king of the Wuji Kingdom and thrown into the Yucheng River for three days.
The Bodhisattva said, "You don't know; At the beginning, this black chicken king, a good monk, the Buddha sent me to send him back to the west, and he was a golden-bodied Arhat. Because he could not see each other in his own body, he became a kind of ordinary monk and asked him to make some fasting offerings. I was embarrassed by my words, but he didn't know that I was a good man, so he tied me up with a rope and sent me to the river of Yushui, and soaked me for three days and three nights. Thanks to the Rokko Golden Body for saving me back to the West, I played with Rulai. If you come and push him down the well here, and back him for three years, I will avenge my hatred of the three-day flood. A drink and a peck, it is not predetermined. Now you have come here, and it has become a merit. ”If it weren't for the Liujia Golden Body that saved Manjushri, Manjushri would probably still be soaking in the river.
Manjushri is one of the four great bodhisattvas of Buddhism, and Guanyin Bodhisattva, Fuxian Bodhisattva, and Jizo King Bodhisattva are equally famous, and the mount is a lion (there should be two). His mount, the Lion Spirit, is not as good as Goku, but it is not bad.
Who can believe that a bodhisattva riding a lion will almost be drowned by a mortal (in fact, after soaking in the river for three days and three nights, he should really be dead, but his body is not broken)?
But in Journey to the West, this is the truth. How to explain it? It can only be said that the immortals in the Journey to the West do exist between civil officials and military officials.
Of course, unlike our civil officials in the world, immortal civil officials can have magic power and magic weapons. With these mana, or magic weapons, it is enough for them to defend themselves every day.
For example, Taishang Laojun, his vajra is actually a magic weapon for self-defense. When Lao Jun and Bodhisattva watched Wukong fight Erlang God, they said that Vajra Zhuo is a magic weapon for self-defense.
(Lao Jun) rolled up his sleeves, took off a circle on his left arm, and said: "This weapon is made of Kun steel, and I will return it to the Dan to make it, and cultivate a body of aura, which can change, water and fire do not invade, and can set all things; A 'golden steel cutter', also known as 'golden steel set'. When he passed the letter and turned Hu into a Buddha, he was very much indebted. Morning and evening are the best way to defend yourself. Wait for me to drop it and hit him. ”Of course, if conditions permit, these gods can also bring a ** to protect themselves.
The so-called ** is a melee master. Because these immortals are civil officials, they may have magic weapons and mana, but their combat power in hand-to-hand combat is zero. Therefore, in order to avoid accidents, they will find a melee master** to protect themselves.
Guanyin Bodhisattva has **, which is Li Jing's second son Mucha (Muzha).
Mu Zha's iron rod, ** shows magical powers; Monster slaying scepter and trying to succeed heroes. Two silver pythons danced by the river, and a pair of gods rushed on the shore. That one Weizhen quicksand Shi has the ability, and this one strives to ensure that Guanyin has made great contributions.After Dapeng was ambushed by Rulai, he also did **.
The fairy wheel claws sneered at him, and the Buddha pointed his hand up, and the demon wings were squeezed. Can't fly, only on the top of the Buddha, can't escape far, showing his true appearance, is a Dapeng golden-winged eagle ......The Buddha didn't dare to let go of Dapeng, and only taught him to be a ** on the light flame, leading the crowd back to the clouds, and returning to the treasure temple.When it comes to fighting (hand-to-hand combat), Taishang Laojun, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Rulai Buddha and others are not Wukong's opponents; But when it comes to magic weapons and mana, Wukong may not be their opponent.
After Wukong came out of the alchemy furnace, why was Lao Jun thrown upside down? Just because Lao Jun's melee ability is not good, he is a civil official, he can put magic weapons, but he can't fight.
