Since its birth, Journey to the West has been deeply loved by all ages, especially the drama of the Heavenly Palace, which can be said to be loved by children and adults, but children are hilarious and adults are watching the doorway.
Sun Wukong was indeed very powerful in the early stages, but not everyone could beat him, among them, the Erlang god Yang Jian, in the competition with Sun Wukong, obviously won the victory and won over Sun Wukong.
The first time Sun Wukong was caught, he was planted here in the Erlang God, although with the help of the Taishang Laojun King Kong, it was only the icing on the cake, and the Erlang God had already suppressed Sun Wukong at that time.
Since the Erlang God is so powerful, including the later time when Sun Wukong took the scriptures, it was also very polite to see the Erlang God, and when he saw other gods, it was all light and ridiculous, which also showed from the side that the Erlang God was really based on strength, but Sun Wukong approved.
But it was such a Erlang God, but after Sun Wukong broke free of the Bagua Furnace of Taishang Laojun, he went to seek help from the Near and Far, and went to find the Buddha to help, why didn't he look for the Erlang God again?
In fact, this can be seen from the first time that the Erlang God was invited out of the mountain, watching the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals all defeated, at this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva recommended a person, he is the Erlang God.
He was the nephew of the Jade Emperor, how could he let Guanyin from a Buddhist sect elect him, and after promising Sun Wukong, those officials who had originally promised him were not rewarded with something very simple, why did this Jade Emperor treat the Erlang God like this?
Some people said that it was caused by erlang god's mother, who had privately gone down to the heavens, but after all, that matter had already passed, and as the ruler of the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor could not affect the safety of the Heavenly Court for the sake of his feelings.
The reason why the Erlang God is not used is because Erlangsheng also has a more familiar name, Foreign Relatives, Erlangsheng is above the officialdom of ancient China, which is a typical foreign relative force.
In all the dynasties and dynasties, there have been examples of foreign forces becoming bigger, and the emperor has never been the peasants who cultivate the land, but the brothers and foreign relatives, the princes are looking at the tiger, and the foreign relatives are waiting for the opportunity to move, and guarding against these forces is a compulsory course for the emperors of all generations.
The Jade Emperor knew very well in his heart that no matter how great erlang's divine ability was, he could not use it easily, otherwise his power would be greater and his wings would be hardened, but he would secretly threaten himself.
Therefore, at the beginning, the Erlang God was not used, and this Guanyin opened his mouth, so he was embarrassed to refuse, plus there was an emergency at that time, and the Heavenly Court really needed such a person who could fight.
But after the incident, the attitude of the Jade Emperor is very obvious, the promised rewards are not, give some things that are not in tune, this is not the Jade Emperor stingy, the official position is easy this kind of thing, you can only seal higher and higher, in the later stage, the more headaches for a person's reward, because what should be given has been given, and I don't know what to reward.
Especially a warrior like Erlang Shen, who has a lot of merit, will naturally have an arrogant heart, especially if he is still related to the emperor, this is a very dangerous foreign relative.
We see that after Rulai surrendered to Sun Wukong, the Heavenly Court specially held an Antian Assembly, at which the various gods and immortals held each side of Rulai, which showed that it was a great merit to accept Sun Wukong.
Sometimes, who to send to fight is not determined by strength at all, he depends on many factors and dimensions, especially the closer he is to the emperor, it looks like an infinite scenery, but at the same time, it will also become the object of the emperor's key defense.
