Sun Wukong and the Erlang God's skills are very similar, and it is easy to suspect that they were taught by a master.
Sun Wukong will change seventy-two, and the Erlang God will also change seventy-two.
Yes, the Erlang God in the original Journey to the West mastered the seventy-two changes, not the seventy-three changes, and the seventy-two changes were the setting of the "Agarwood Treasure Scroll".
In the fifty-second time of the original work, Sun Wukong introduced himself to Qingniu Jing, mentioning that when the Jade Emperor adjusted the Erlang God to suppress him, the book clearly wrote, "Threaten the Jade Emperor to pass on his will, and irrigate the river Xiaosheng to raise soldiers." Holding each other seventy singles and two changes, each with a strong spirit."
Erlang Shen will fa tianxiang earth, and Sun Wukong will also fa tianxiang earth.
The so-called Fa Tianxiangdi, popularly speaking, is the art of change, which transforms the body into a tall mountain like Mount Tai to enhance combat effectiveness.
Erlang God and Sun Wukong took the lead in using the Fa Heaven and Earth, "becoming tall, with two hands, holding up three-pointed and two-bladed divine blades, just like the peak on the top of Hua Mountain", Sun Wukong did not want to show weakness, and also hurriedly used the Fa Tianxiang Earth, becoming the same size as the Erlang God.
Sun Wukong will fight clouds, although the original work did not explicitly mention, Erlang God will also fight clouds, but when Sun Wukong retreated, Erlang God could catch up step by step, not thrown away by Sun Wukong, it can be seen that his ability to soar clouds and drive the fog is not inferior to Sun Wukong.
Because the Erlang God and Sun Wukong have similar skills, the two sides are equal and difficult to distinguish.
When the two were inseparable, Taishang Laojun took the opportunity to sacrifice King Kong and smashed it directly on Sun Wukong's head. Sun Wukong was caught off guard and fell by King Kong, and the Heavenly Dog immediately pounced on him and bit him hard. Sun Wukong was so painful that he couldn't get up for a while, and Erlang Shen hurriedly led the six meishan brothers to rush up, which captured Sun Wukong alive.
Looking at the whole process of Erlang Shensheng capturing Sun Wukong, if Sun Wukong had not been hit by King Kong, it would be difficult for Erlang Shen to capture him, at least by his own strength, it would be almost impossible to do so.
Taishang Laojun's sacrifice of Vajrayogini itself is enough to explain the problem. If the Erlang God could capture Sun Wukong alone, why did Taishang Laojun have to do more? After all, sneaking up on Sun Wukong is not very glorious.
Speaking of this, there is a question that everyone must be curious about, Sun Wukong's housekeeping skills are seventy-two changes, if he does not have seventy-two changes, can the Erlang God catch him alone?
Some people believe that although the seventy-two changes are Sun Wukong's housekeeping skills, even if he does not have the seventy-two changes, it will not have much impact on the combat effectiveness, because the seventy-two changes are the art of change, and there is no powerful attack power. Therefore, even if Sun Wukong did not change seventy-two, the Erlang God still could not catch him alone.
Seventy-two changes are indeed only the art of change, and Sun Wukong's seventy-two changes are obviously not as good as the Erlang God, it seems that this skill is dispensable, not even as good as the seventy-two changes, saving the test of the art of change being suppressed by the Erlang God, however, if Sun Wukong does not have the seventy-two changes, I am afraid that after a few moves, he will be captured by the Erlang God.
The Seventy-Two Transformations were taught to Sun Wukong by bodhi masters, and although they did not have powerful attack power, in addition to the changes themselves, they could also enhance the practitioner's reflexes, physical agility, and learning and comprehension.
Grandmaster Bodhi obviously only taught Sun Wukong the Seventy-Two Transformations and The Douyun, so why did Sun Wukong still master advanced spells such as the Fa TianxiangDi? It is precisely thanks to the strong learning and comprehension achieved after the seventy-two changes of cultivation. From this point of view, the Seventy-Two Transformations are a bit like the Nine Yang Divine Skills.
If Sun Wukong did not have seventy-two changes, not to mention that he could not learn many high-level spells without a teacher, and only did not have the two points of superhuman reflexes and agility, it would be enough to determine that he was far from the opponent of the Erlang God, and once he fought, he would be captured.
