Sun Wukong never expected that the first time he asked for help, rulai let him eat the closed door soup.
There was an extremely difficult monster named Qingniu Jing, who not only had high mana, but also mastered the top magic weapon King Kong, which could set any weapon magic weapon in the Three Realms.
After Qingniu Jing captured Tang Monk, Sun Wukong came to call for battle, and the two sides fought a big battle.
On the fist and foot kung fu alone, Sun Wukong was a little difficult to deal with, and he did not expect that Qingniu Jing still "did not talk about martial arts", sacrificed King Kong, and took away his golden hoop stick. Sun Wukong lost the golden hoop stick, the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, naturally not the opponent of the Qingniu Essence, so he was defeated.
Sun Wukong then asked the Heavenly Court for help, and the Jade Emperor sent Li Jing, the Heavenly King of Tota, to lead the immortals to surrender the Qingniu Essence.
When Qingniu Jing saw this posture, he didn't think about it, so he repeated the technique, did not talk about martial virtue, and used King Kong to set the weapons and magic weapons of the immortals, and as a result, the immortals also returned home.
In desperation, Sun Wukong had to go to the Spirit Mountain and ask Rulai for help.
This is the first time since Sun Wukong took the scriptures to ask for help. Along the way, Sun Wukong did not encounter any trouble, but he would rather ask Guanyin for help than to ask For Help from Rulai, this time there was really nothing he could do.
Sun Wukong thought that Rulai would quickly help him subdue the Qingniu Essence, after all, the Qingniu Essence had captured the Tang monks, obstructed the great cause of taking the scriptures, and affected the interests of the Buddhist group.
But he did not expect that Rulai's attitude would be so "perfunctory".
At the beginning, Sun Wukong did not propose to let Rulai descend the demon, but only asked Rulai about the background of the Qingniu Essence, but he did not expect that Rulai would not even help with this help, and also explained in a dignified manner: "You monkey is a big mouth, if I tell you the background of the Qingniu Essence, you leak this matter out, then the monster will go to the Spirit Mountain, won't it leave me behind?" ”
As a result, it can be imagined that Rulai only sent the eighteen arhats to go through a formality, and did not shoot the demon, and finally Sun Wukong asked for help from Taishang Laojun before surrendering the Qingniu Essence.
So, why is Rulai reluctant to surrender the Qingniu Essence?
Some people believe that Qingniu Jing's mana is strong, and Rulai is not his opponent at all, so he is reluctant to shoot.
In fact, qingniu jing's mana was not as strong as people thought, and his hard strength was not as strong as Sun Wukong, but the king kong in his hand was powerful. However, the main function of King Kong is to set up weapons and magic weapons, and if you don't have to use weapon magic weapons at all, why be afraid of King Kong? Therefore, Rulai's strength is definitely above the Qingniu Essence.
Some people also believe that if Rulai did not surrender the Qingniu Essence, it was not that he could not fight, but that he was a rat trap.
Qingniu Jing is the mount of Daozu Taishang Laojun, as the saying goes, beating a dog depends on the owner, let alone the mount? The mount of taishang laojun can naturally only be surrendered by taishang laojun, and it is inconvenient to intervene.
However, the status of mounts in the Journey to the West World was very low, and the Nine Spirit Yuansheng, who had boundless mana, also had to let the lion slaves scold, such as the Buddha of the Hall of Fame, to clean up a mount that had made a big mistake, why offend the Taishang Laojun? What kind of person is Daozu, and how can his qi be so narrow?
The real reason why rulai did not surrender the Qingniu Essence could be seen from the words of Emperor Zhenwu.
Huang Meiwei that time, Sun Wukong asked the Zhenwu Emperor for help, and the Zhenwu Emperor said, "Now that the Great Saint of Mengmeng has descended, he has to do it; it is just that the upper realm has no will and does not dare to act arbitrarily." So he did not personally go out on the horse, but only sent a general to help Sun Wukong subdue the Yellow Brow Monster.
It turned out that the actions of the Great God in the Journey to the West were strictly supervised by the Heavenly Court, and even if the demons were exorcised, they could not act without the will of the Jade Emperor.
Although Rulai was the head of the Lingshan Group, he was also nominally a subordinate of the Jade Emperor, and qingniu Jing was a demon immortal of the Heavenly Garden Group, if there was no will of the Jade Emperor, how could he act without permission? At that time, the Jade Emperor did not order Rulai to surrender the demon, and of course it was inconvenient for Rulai to surrender the Qingniu Essence.
