Many people believe that although Rulai is a Buddha who is high above, his mana will not be much stronger than Sun Wukong, because he has personally admitted that he took a lot of effort to suppress Sun Wukong under the Five Elements Mountain.
If you come to surrender Sun Wukong, did it really take a lot of effort?
Readers who hold this view are probably based on the hundredth time in the original book, such as a passage from which Sun Wukong was sealed.
At that time, the sutra collection team arrived at Lingshan, and after rulai sealed the Tang monk as the Buddha of The Tang Dynasty, they prepared to seal Sun Wukong as the Fighting Buddha, saying: "Sun Wukong, Ru is making a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, I pressed under the Five Elements Mountain with very deep mana, fortunately the natural disaster is satisfied, and it is attributed to the Interpretation. ”
Rulai did not explicitly state that it took a lot of effort to surrender sun wukong, but only mentioned that "I have very deep mana", and some people think that the unspoken meaning of this sentence is that it took a lot of effort.
What does very deep mana mean? Deep mana, powerful mana, Rulai's original intention, only emphasized his own profound mana, and by no means showed how difficult it was to surrender Sun Wukong.
Logically, it is impossible to say such a thing. The sutra team went on a pilgrimage to Lingshan Mountain, and as the Buddha, Rulai did not preach the Boundless Dharma, but as soon as he saw Sun Wukong, he sighed: "Oh, in order to defeat you, I spent a lot of effort!" "Is this possible?
In fact, Rulai's strength is definitely far above Sun Wukong.
If Rulai did not have an absolute advantage, when he turned over and pressed Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong could completely push his palm away, or drive Douyun away. It is precisely because rulai's mana is far above Sun Wukong that it can be done: the power of turning hands is overwhelming, the speed of turning hands is as fast as lightning, and Sun Wukong has no resistance.
The encounter of the six-eared macaque is also enough to prove that Rulai's strength is far above Sun Wukong.
The six-eared macaque not only looks the same as Sun Wukong, but also has the same skills as Sun Wukong, but when he and Sun Wukong kill to the Spirit Mountain to distinguish between true and false, if they come to sacrifice a golden bowl, they let him appear in his original form, and for a while his mana was exhausted, so he was killed by Sun Wukong.
However, since Rulai's mana is far above Sun Wukong, some readers are curious, when he surrendered to Sun Wukong, why did he specifically ask about Sun Wukong's origin? What exactly was he worried about?
In the seventh time of the original work, the Jade Emperor Xuanru came to suppress Sun Wukong, and after Rulai saw Sun Wukong, the first sentence was to ask him: "Now I heard that you are rampant in the village and the wilderness, and you have repeatedly rebelled against the Heavenly Palace, I don't know where you grew up, what year did you get the Tao, why such a tyranny?" ”
Some people believe that if you ask about the origin of Sun Wukong, you are worried that Sun Wukong has a backstage. After Sun Wukong finished answering, such as determining that he did not have a backstage, he decided to shoot.
This statement certainly does not correspond to the original book. If it is announced by the Jade Emperor to suppress Sun Wukong, whether Sun Wukong has a backstage or not, he must take action, after all, the emperor's order cannot be violated.
Moreover, if you want to find out whether Sun Wukong has a backstage, you can't ask at all, because he has the wisdom of the eye. Using the wise eye, he can know the things of Zhou Tian, and when he first debunked the six-eared macaque, he relied on the wise eye. Therefore, the origin of Sun Wukong, he should have known it in his chest a long time ago.
But this seems even more strange, since Rulai already knew the origin of Sun Wukong, why did he ask it knowingly?
I have to say that Rulai's means are too clever! He asks about Sun Wukong's origins, and chats with Sun Wukong next, all in order to weaken Sun Wukong's combat effectiveness.
Can chatting weaken Monkey King's combat effectiveness?
Absolutely. At that time, Sun Wukong was in the peak state of fighting spirit, but as the saying goes, one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, such as through chatting, diverting Sun Wukong's attention, you can slowly consume Sun Wukong's fighting spirit and sharpness. Fighting spirit and sharpness have dropped sharply, and Sun Wukong's combat effectiveness has naturally been greatly reduced.
At the same time, chatting can also gain the favor and trust of Sun Wukong, which is conducive to the implementation of the betting plan. Sun Wukong was also calculated by this plan and was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain.
Some people must say that if the mana is far stronger than Sun Wukong, is it necessary to use the plan?
Of course, it is necessary to solve problems with wisdom, so why use brute force? Moreover, if the Buddha fights with a monkey, it is really undignified.
