Everyone knows that when Zhu Bajie was in Heavenly Court, he was Marshal Tianpeng. So what kind of rank is such a marshal? Is it a level of watching the gate, or is it a high-level of the heavenly court? We can take a look at some of the details in the book.
Take a look at what the Eight Precepts do
First of all, let's take a look at Zhu Bajie, what does he do in Heaven? This is actually very simple, we all know that Zhu Bajie is the head of the Tianhe Water Army.
Lao Zhu was the governor of Tianhe and was in charge of 80,000 sailors.And this Tianhe Navy is not an empty shelf, but has 80,000 sailors. From such a description, we can infer that the marshal of Tianpeng of Zhu Bajie is not a level of gatekeepers. Because no one who watches the gate can manage 80,000 sailors. This level can be said to be quite good.
In any era, if you can command a class, then such a position will not be too bad, even if the number of this class is not particularly large.
Determine the level
From the number of his subordinates, we can basically infer that Zhu Bajie is at least a middle level of Heavenly Court, if we think a little more, it is very likely that there is only one naval army above Heavenly Court, then Zhu Bajie is equivalent to the marshal of the naval army. This is even more important to raise his level.
If you have read the original work, you should know very well that Zhu Bajie's Tianhe Water Army is at the time of the reward. The Jade Emperor called all the immortals over, so such a level is theoretically even higher, and it can be said that it can definitely be regarded as a high-level of a heavenly court. Although it is said that there is no need for a water army to encircle and suppress other monsters in the Heavenly Court, it is at least a nominal high-level.
The Arctic canopy is not a pig
Someone said, what you said is not right, this Tianpeng Marshal of Zhu Bajie is obviously one of the Four Saints of the North Pole, and this status is not much worse than that of the Jade Emperor. We can take a look at the Arctic canopy, one of the four saints of the North Pole, in fact, it is not introduced in Journey to the West, but we can see from other books that some of his brief introductions. Let's take a look at the full name of this Arctic Tianpeng first.
The patriarch Jiutian Shang's father is in charge of the five directions, the general of the North Pole, the generalissimo of the left wall, the generalissimo Tianpeng Zhenjun, surnamed Bian Mingzhuang.And we can see that this Tianpeng Zhenjun has a name, which is obviously different from Zhu Bajie's name. So such a detail can also be inferred that Zhu Bajie is actually not the Arctic Canopy at all, but that his Marshal Tianpeng is the same as the Tianpeng Zhenjun, one of the Four Saints of the Arctic. The same name, but it deserves to be completely different from the name.
How many levels are missing
So, how much worse is Zhu Bajie than this canopy? Here, we can see what this Arctic canopy is for?
Led 360,000 divine soldiers, the upper auxiliary Jade Emperor, the division of the Fanjing realm, the lower Quanyuan, the whole team of Yuan Huang.From such a passage, we can see that Tianpeng Zhenjun, one of the Four Saints of the North Pole, is an assistant to the Jade Emperor, and has his own commanding forces. To put it simply, it's a super boss. You can understand it as being under one person and above ten thousand. The level higher than Zhu Bajie is a bit terrifying, because there are at least three Qing, four royals, five parties and five elders on Zhu Bajie, and even the level of 28 Xingjun is higher than Zhu Bajie, so this gap may be beyond the imagination of many readers. For example, Zhu Bajie may not be qualified to visit the Arctic canopy.
