In mythological stories, the mana of a deity is usually positively correlated with status, and the higher the status, the stronger the mana tends to be.
For example, rulai, as the head of the Lingshan Group, his mana is obviously the first in the Lingshan, and with one move, if he comes to the Divine Palm, he can crush the Qitian Great Saint Sun Wukong who is making a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace under the Five Elements Mountain, and he will not be free for five hundred years.
Some people must not think so, Guanyin Bodhisattva is just a bodhisattva, Lingshan Group ranks one hundred miles away, why is her strength in the forefront of Lingshan Group?
The reason is simple, the status of Guanyin Bodhisattva is also at the forefront of the Lingshan Group. Although she is only a bodhisattva and her nominal status is not high, her actual status is far above that of ordinary Buddhas.
First of all, she is known as the master of the seven Buddhas, even the seven Buddhas must respect the gods and she is a master, and other ordinary Buddhas, although they may not always take her as their superior, but at least they must give up three points.
Secondly, Guanyin Bodhisattva has great power, equivalent to the princes of the Lingshan Group. She owns the Putuoshan Group, a dojo independent of the Lingshan Group, and the Putuoshan Group is to the Lingshan Group, just as the Lingshan Group is to the Tianting Group, although nominally affiliated with the Lingshan Group, it is actually the Guanyin Bodhisattva who is in charge, and it is inconvenient to interfere easily.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and not all the gods in high positions have high mana, and the Heavenly Court Group has a big god, who is the best official, with heavy troops in his hands, but his mana is unremarkable.
This great god was Li Jing, the King of Tota. Li Jing was once appointed by the Jade Emperor as the Grand Marshal of the Demon Descending, and he commanded a number of marshals and generals, which can be described as the military commander of the Heavenly Court, however, his mana was not as good as many of the Generals of the Heavenly Court, and if it were not for the Linglong Pagoda in hand, I am afraid that even the intermediate generals of the Heavenly Court would not be able to defeat him.
Since the higher the status, the stronger the mana, and the Military Commander of the Heavenly Court should be one of the gods with the strongest mana in the Heavenly Court, why can Li Jing, who has mediocre mana, become the Military Commander of the Heavenly Court? We can see this from the mouse spirit's return and Li Jing's remarks to Taibai Venus.
Sun Wukong mistakenly thought that the mouse spirit was Li Jing's daughter, and went to heaven to sue Li Jing, and Li Jing was furious and said to Taibai Venus: "And Mo said that I am the Heavenly Patriarch, and I am appointed to the post of first beheading and then playing, that is, a small people in the netherworld, and I must not make false accusations." ”
It turned out that the reason why Li Jing was able to serve as the Grand Marshal of the Demon Descending Was because he was the Founder of the Heavenly Court.
What is the matter that Li Jing is the Founder of the Heavenly Court?
The story takes place during the fengshen period. At that time, although the Tianting Group had been established, it was like a new company, and the personnel of various departments were extremely scarce, so Yuan Shi Tianzun planned the great cause of sealing the gods, sent the robbers to the list of gods, and then let Jiang Ziya preside over the sealing of the gods and send talents to the Tianting Group.
Li Jing was not on the list of canonized gods, but he had achieved even greater success. After the end of the great cause of the gods, he returned to the hidden rivers and lakes, returned to the mountains to cultivate, and then became holy in the flesh and ascended to the heavens, while the Tianting Group still belonged to the development period at this time. During the development period, he defected to the Tianting Group and contributed to the growth of the Tianting Group, and naturally became a "founding hero".
However, "founding hero" is not equal to "yuanxun", the gold content of the yuanxun is higher, only the top founding hero can be counted as the yuanxun, why does Li Jing say that he is the founder of the heavenly court?
It turns out that Li Jing's background is not simple, he has taught Du Er Zhenren, and who is Du Er Zhenren? He was a high disciple of Taishang Laojun, that is, Li Jing was a disciple of Taishang Laojun.
Since Li Jing was the founding hero of the Tianting clique and a disciple of Taishang Laojun, it was not surprising that the Jade Emperor regarded him as a yuanxun and appointed him as the military commander of the Tianting.
