In the TV series "Journey to the West" that we watched when we were children, Taishang Laojun is an old man with a nest, in fact, in the original work, Taishang Laojun is a master in the Three Realms, and it can be seen from his title: Taishang, that is, supreme, old, old; jun, the king is the king or the sage is the king.
1. Profound qualifications
Don't look at Sun Wukong's arrogance when he makes a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, but if you really want to meet Taishang Laojun, you still have a lot of respect, and look:
Li Laojun was the ancestor of the founding of the heavens and the earth, and still sat on the right side of the Taiqing; the Buddha Rulai was the honor of ruling the world and also sat under the Dapeng; and the sage Kong was the honor of Confucianism, and he was only called the Master. ——" The Eighty-sixth Time, Mu Mu Helps Threaten the Monster, Jin Gong Casts a Spell to Destroy Demons and Evil Spirits
In the story of journey to the west, Taishang Laojun was born from the heavens and the earth, and he pioneered the world, and founded a group of cultivators based on cultivation, so he was also called Daozu. And Lao Jun himself said (to Guanyin Bodhisattva):
"When I passed the Letter Pass and turned Hu into a Buddha, it was even thanks to him (Vajrapani), and sooner or later I could best defend myself." Wait for me to drop it and hit him. ——"The Sixth Time Guanyin Went to the Meeting to Ask the Reason, Little Saint Shi Wei Descended to the Great Sage"
After hundreds of millions of years of pioneering the world, Taishang Laojun transformed Hu into a Buddha and founded the Buddhist sect, which is also the ancestor of the Buddhist sect.
But looking at the seniority of Taishang Laojun, we know how strong he is.
2. There are many magic weapons
To say who has the most magic weapons in "Journey to the West", Taishang Laojun must be the first, and these magic weapons have caused the four masters and apprentices to suffer a lot. For example:
Vajrapani, known as the first treasure of Journey to the West, has collected all the magic weapons in the world, and if the Buddha has no choice but to avoid its sharp edge.
Basho fans, the iron fan princess got two, one to extinguish the fire, one to raise the fire, each can blow the heavenly gods and Buddhas out of the eighty-four thousand miles.
Others such as the red gourd, the jade purification bottle, the bundle of immortal ropes, and the purple golden bell (made by Taishang Laojun) are also very powerful magic weapons.
The most famous is the nine-tooth nail rake, known as the first divine soldier in the heavenly court!
3. Strong strength
Related to Taishang Laojun, like his boy (the King of the Golden and Silver Horns), he almost crushed Sun Wukong to death with a trick to move mountains and seas. His Qingniu, physical fighting and Sun Wukong are not indistinguishable, if it is not Lao Jun's hand, no one can take down qingniu.
Taishang Laojun had never fought head-on with people, but judging from these magic weapons and their related people alone, it showed its strength. In addition, in the speculation of Sun Wukong's teacher Bodhi Ancestor, Taishang Laojun is also one of them, although the original book does not indicate it, but it makes people reverie.
So, don't be deceived by the TV series, that is the companionship of our childhood, but it is too different from the original. The Jade Emperor in the TV series also drilled the table, he is the supreme leader, rulai is his subordinate. Taishang Laojun's strength is absolutely top-notch!
