When Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, the saying that the heavenly court released water was actually based on Sun Wukong's performance on the way to learn scriptures in the west.
When making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, Sun Wukong can be said to be majestic, and those heavenly soldiers and generals in the heavenly court are like ants in front of him.
And those famous gods are also vulnerable in the face of Sun Wukong, such as:
The giant spirit god was broken by Sun Wukong's stick; Jiuyao Xingjun fought against Sun Wukong with nine enemies, and as a result, all nine of them fled with all their strength; Li Jingjia and Nezha, the four heavenly kings and the heavenly kings of Gatota, besieged Sun Wukong, and as a result, they were all defeated and retreated.
In addition, Taishang Laojun, who claimed to have made up for the sky in the name of Nuwa, was so frightened by Sun Wukong that he fell on his heels;
In general, none of the immortals in the heavenly court could subdue Sun Wukong in the end, and in the end they could only go to Lingshan to seek the help of the Buddha.
If you look at Sun Wukong, who followed Tang Seng to the west to learn scriptures, it is naturally not a problem to fight some little monsters, such as: white bone spirit, python essence and so on.
But when encountering those monsters in the Heavenly Court camp, Sun Wukong was very difficult, such as:
encountered the yellow-robed monster changed by the Kui Wood Wolf, and Sun Wukong fought against it for fifty or sixty rounds without winning or losing;
encountered Taishang Laojun's two fire-burning Dao boys, that is, the Golden Horn King and the Silver Horn King, Sun Wukong used a trick to defeat them;
encountered Taishang Laojun's mount Qingniu Jing, Sun Wukong was directly helpless, and he couldn't beat it at all;
encountered the nine lions on Taiyi's mount to save the suffering Tianzun, and Sun Wukong was chased and beaten by him;
Look, Kui Wood Wolf is one of the twenty-eight nights of the heavenly court, he can fight with Sun Wukong for fifty or sixty rounds with the strength of one person, when Sun Wukong made trouble in the heavenly palace, the twenty-eight nights also participated in the siege, but they were helpless against Sun Wukong.
Also, Taishang Laojun's two fire-burning Dao boys can make Sun Wukong anxious, do you think, will Taishang Laojun be afraid of Sun Wukong?
Besides, even Taishang Laojun's mount can defeat Sun Wukong, you dare to say that Taishang Laojun, as its master, can't beat Sun Wukong.
The Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng, incarnated by nine lions, can chase and fight Sun Wukong, and its master Taiyi saves the suffering Tianzun, who should have the strength of Sun Wukong in seconds.
From these, it can be concluded that Heavenly Court can defeat Sun Wukong's immortal gods, which can be said to be a big handful, and it is based on these that it will give people the saying that when Sun Wukong makes trouble in the Heavenly Palace, Heavenly Court collectively releases water.
So the question is, when Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, was the Heavenly Court really releasing water collectively?
In this regard, some people said that it was not that the heavenly court was releasing water at that time, but that Sun Wukong was pressed by the Buddha at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years, and his strength was greatly reduced, so this situation occurred.
Regarding the statement that Sun Wukong's strength has been greatly reduced, Tang Gu thinks it is not reliable.
The reason why I say this is because Sun Wukong is one of the candidates recognized by the Buddha to learn the scriptures, in a sense, when he surrendered to Sun Wukong, the Buddha already regarded him as his own, so he was only imprisoned, not killed.
Do you think that for a person of his own, and he will be entrusted with important tasks in the future, will the Buddha be stupid enough to abolish his Taoism and reduce the strength of Lingshan?
Therefore, the statement that Sun Wukong's strength has been greatly reduced is not valid.
So, was it really that Heavenly Court was releasing water at that time?
Tang Gu believes that this is not the case, but the fact is the opposite, but Sun Wukong later fished in troubled waters.
You think, when Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he was earning a future for himself, in this case, he would definitely have how much ability he had to fight against the various immortals and gods of the Heavenly Court, so the Heavenly Court would have no power to fight back.
Later, Sun Wukong is tantamount to doing things for Lingshan, and doing things for others only needs to go through the motions, there is no need to work hard, so the performance will be much worse than before.
This is like the difference between personal entrepreneurship and working in a unit, personal entrepreneurship is all about working hard for yourself, so you will naturally go all out.
And working in the unit is to work for the boss, no matter how hard you work, the benefits are much lower than the boss, so there is no need to work hard, fishing in troubled waters is the creed of the worker.
Therefore, when Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, the statement that the heavenly court released water was not valid at all, but it was just an illusion that Sun Wukong was no longer desperate and compared before and after.
