The Seventy-Two Transformations are vast, and they are not what people think, but they are just a simple art of change.
We know that The Bodhi Ancestor only taught Sun Wukong the three major skills, in addition to the seventy-two changes, the other two are the Great Pin Heavenly Immortal Decision and the Rib Douyun, which is well known to everyone, is a powerful flying skill, a tendon dou 18,000 miles; the Great Pin Heavenly Immortal Decision may not know much, it is the secret of immortality.
However, as you know, Sun Wukong revealed far more than three abilities, such as using the Technique of Heaven and Earth when fighting the Erlang God. The so-called Fa Tianxiangdi, in layman's terms, is the art of becoming bigger, making the body as tall as Mount Tai to enhance its own combat effectiveness.
Although Sun Wukong is not good at water warfare, he has mastered the art of avoiding water, so he can freely enter and exit the Dragon Palace. This skill was not taught by bodhicitta masters either.
So, The Bodhi Ancestor obviously only taught Sun Wukong three skills, why can Sun Wukong still master many high-level spells?
It is precisely because he learned the seventy-two changes. Seventy-two changes may be a bit like the Nine Yang Divine Gong in martial arts novels, after practicing this skill, the comprehension and learning ability are greatly improved, and any spell can be learned as soon as you practice. Sun Wukong may have just practiced the secret of a few high-level spells after practicing seventy-two changes, and then with a little practice, he achieved great success.
With such a miraculous seventy-two changes, naturally everyone wants to learn, but what is strange is that none of Sun Wukong's brothers and masters have studied.
The third time in the original work, the brothers learned that Sun Wukong learned seventy-two changes, and they all hoped that he would show his skills, so Sun Wukong changed into a pine tree. The book reads, "Goku twists the trick, recites the incantation, transforms into a pine tree... Ling Yun went straight up to Xiu Zhenzi, there was no bit of a demon monkey statue", the public saw it, clapped and laughed, and said: "Good monkey! Good monkey! ”
The masters and brothers were as surprised and excited as the first time they saw the incredible magic show, which showed that they did not know the art of change, and naturally did not learn the seventy-two changes.
So, why didn't Sun Wukong's brothers learn the Seventy-Two Changes?
Some people believe that the more advanced the spell, the more difficult it is to learn, and Sun Wukong's brothers and masters are mediocre in talent, and they will not learn seventy-two changes, and naturally they will not learn.
But the seventy-two changes are so miraculous, take it from it, get it, learn not all, learn a move and a half style, and the average person can definitely learn one move and a half style, learn not to descend the dragon eighteen palms, is not even the first palm of the dragon regret can not learn?
The reason why Sun Wukong's brothers did not learn the Seventy-Two Changes is actually very simple, we only need to understand what we must do to practice this exercise, and we can see at a glance.
In the second time of the original work, before the Bodhi Ancestor taught Sun Wukong the skill, he said a magic secret, three of which were: "All come to the spirit of the spirit, and firmly hide the leakage." Hugh leaked, the body was hidden, and Ru was taught by me to spread the word from Chang. How beneficial it is to memorize the recipe, and to cool off evil desires. ”
Originally, the advanced skills taught by Bodhi Grandmaster were all orthodox Taoist spells, and to cultivate such spells, we must first maintain a pure and undesirable mentality, which is a fresh and pure aura in the body. Because of this, Sun Wukong maintains the habit of eating vegetarian food all year round, even when he is a monster.
Can Sun Wukong's brothers and sisters do this? After Sun Wukong learned to fight clouds, what did the brothers say? If you know this method, you will be a pawnbroker with others, send documents, hand over newspapers, and find food no matter where you are!
They are all ordinary people who aspire to ordinary people, and worship bodhi masters as teachers, not necessarily to pursue the path, but to learn a skill, so that they can go down the mountain to make a living in the future. Since to study the Seventy-Two Changes, one must first maintain a pure mind and a lackluster mentality, contrary to their ideals full of worldly desires, they will certainly not learn.
