The Five Elements Mountain could not suppress Sun Wukong at all, but this was not the strength of Sun Wukong, enough to overthrow the entire Five Elements Mountain.
In fact, Sun Wukong's strength was definitely not enough to overthrow the entire Five Elements Mountain, and half of it was unlikely.
On the Pingding Mountain, the Silver HornEdged King, disguised as a Taoist priest, approached Sun Wukong, took the opportunity to recite a mantra, and moved the three mountains such as Emei, Sumire, and Taishan, and then crushed Sun Wukong to the point of seven tricks and could not move. If it were not for the help of the mountain god and the removal of the three mountains, he would probably have to "go to jail under the mountain."
The Five Elements Mountain is a group of mountains spanning the South Ganbu Continent and the West Niuhe Continent, and its majesty stretches for a long time on top of three big mountains, sun wukong can't even carry the three big mountains, how can it arch the entire Five Elements Mountain?
Some people must be very curious, if this is the case, why did Rulai put a six-character mantra sticker on the Five Elements Mountain, isn't this a superfluous move?
This is certainly not superfluous. Although Rulai could not arch the entire Five Elements Mountain, if he wanted to escape from under the Five Elements Mountain, there was no need to arch the entire Five Elements Mountain, he only needed to break through some of the rocks pressing on his body.
The purpose of the Six-Character Mantra Sticker is to make the entire Five Elements Mountain blend in, and the weight is concentrated on Sun Wukong, while making the mountain stone near Sun Wukong's body hard, so that he will not dig a hole around his body to escape.
After the six-character mantra was pasted on, Sun Wukong really couldn't move, and honestly "served his sentence" under the Five Elements Mountain.
Five hundred years later, Rulai launched the sutra-taking strategy, asked Guanyin Bodhisattva to form a sutra-taking team, and decided to appoint Sun Wukong as the chief bodyguard of the sutra-taking team, however, he did not personally release Sun Wukong.
The one who released Sun Wukong was Tang Monk, the leader of the Sutra Collection Team. His release of Sun Wukong is a difficult one.
He was just a mortal with a mortal flesh and no mana cultivation, so it was impossible to tear down the Five Elements Mountain and rescue Sun Wukong. He could only let Sun Wukong break out of the stone by taking off the six-character mantra sticker.
However, it is not easy to take off the six-word mantra sticker! The six-character mantra is posted on the "extreme peak" of the Five Elements Mountain, and the Five Elements Mountain is high and steep, not to mention that Tang Monk is a monk without the strength of a chicken, even if he is a mortal martial arts master, it is not easy to climb to the top of the mountain.
But Tang Monk is worthy of being a holy monk, and has a spirit of perseverance, so he risked his life in crushed bones, climbed vines and attached to Ge, and climbed to the top of the Five Elements Mountain with difficulty, took off the six-character mantra sticker, and rescued Sun Wukong.
Speaking of this, some people must be very curious, since Rulai has decided to appoint Sun Wukong as the chief bodyguard of the sutra collection team, why not personally take off the six-character mantra sticker, instead of letting Tang Monk risk going to the top of the mountain to pick it?
This also seemed to be risky for Rulai, just imagine, if Tang Monk stepped on the air when climbing the Five Elements Mountain, wouldn't his painstakingly planned strategy of learning the scriptures go bankrupt?
The main reason why Rulai let the Tang monks take the risk of picking up the six-character mantra sticker was as follows:
First, it tested the Tang monks' will to learn the scriptures.
If the Tang monks did not even have the courage and perseverance to climb to the top of the Five Elements Mountain, how could they overcome the arduous test of a long journey of 108,000 miles and a difficult journey of 9981? Therefore, if you come, you must let Tang Monk pick up the six-character mantra sticker and test how strong his will to take the scriptures really is.
Second, let the Tang monks give grace to Sun Wukong.
If Rulai personally took off the six-character mantra sticker, then Sun Wukong's benefactor is Rulai, and Sun Wukong is unlikely to take Rulai as a benefactor, because it is Rulai who presses him down the Five Elements Mountain. And Tang Monk and Sun Wukong have no revenge, if he risked his life to save Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong will definitely be grateful to him.
Only by allowing Tang Monk to be kind to Sun Wukong can we restrain Sun Wukong's unruly heart and let him escort Tang Monk to learn the scriptures with a dead heart.
Facts have proved that this trick is very clever, and on the way to take the scriptures, Sun Wukong was misunderstood by Tang Monk and went away many times, but when he thought of Tang Monk's life-saving grace, he couldn't bear it and returned to Tang Monk's side.
