There is a saying on the Internet that it is not easy to subdue Sun Wukong, and it has paid a heavy price.
In the seventh chapter of the original work, Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and killed the Lingxiao Treasure Hall with great momentum, and Wang Lingguan hurriedly led thirty-six thunder generals to rescue him. Wang Lingguan is the assistant of the Emperor Zhenwu, and his mana is strong, and the thirty-six Lei generals are all masters among the masters of the Heavenly Court Praetorian Guard, and the strength of the thirty-six people joining forces is not inferior to the 100,000 heavenly soldiers.
Sure enough, as soon as they made a move, they blocked Sun Wukong in the Tongming Hall outside the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and they couldn't move forward a single step.
However, because Sun Wukong had stolen five pots of nine turns of gold pills before, his attack power and endurance had reached an unprecedented peak state, and as the battle continued, the thunder generals gradually lost their physical strength, and Sun Wukong was still fighting like a rainbow, so the thunder generals were killed and retreated.
Seeing that Sun Wukong was about to enter the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, the Jade Emperor hurriedly sent someone to Lingshan to rescue Xuanru.
However, when he saw Sun Wukong, whose combat effectiveness was at its peak, he did not dare to make a move easily, but decided to outwit him.
He first kept inquiring about Sun Wukong's origin and background, asking him what he wanted to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, so as to divert Sun Wukong's attention and achieve the purpose of dissipating his spirit.
After gradually gaining the trust of Sun Wukong, and learned that Sun Wukong mastered the somersault cloud and wanted to usurp the throne of the Jade Emperor, he took the opportunity to propose a bet with Sun Wukong: "I will make a bet with you; if you have the ability, a somersault will hit my right palm, you will win, and you will not have to use the sword to fight hard, so please invite the Jade Emperor to live in the West and let you the Heavenly Palace; if you can't play the palm, you will also be a demon in the lower realm, and you will repair a few more tribulations, but you will quarrel." ”
Sun Wukong saw that Rulai's right palm was less than a foot in circumference, and readily agreed. But he never expected that he would somersault for 108,000 miles, but he didn't fly out of the palm of Rulai. What he didn't expect was that Rulai did not fulfill his promise to release him to the lower realm, but took the opportunity to flip his hand and crush him under the Five Elements Mountain, and sentenced him to five hundred years in prison.
Looking at Rulai's submission of Sun Wukong, it is indeed not as easy as imagined, otherwise he could have directly suppressed it, and there was no need to use the way of flickering, but what did Rulai pay a heavy price?
Some people believe that Rulai sacrificed his right hand in order to press Sun Wukong under the Five Elements Mountain, and the Five Elements Mountain that suppressed Sun Wukong was a change in his right hand.
However, if Rulai really sacrificed his right hand, he would inevitably be seriously injured after subduing Sun Wukong, and he would need to rush back to Lingshan immediately to heal his injuries. But this is not the case in the original book, not only did he not return to Lingshan immediately after subduing Sun Wukong, but also participated in the Antiy Conference held by the Jade Emperor to celebrate his achievements.
Speaking of which, everyone must be very curious, is it really a heavy price for Sun Wukong to suppress Sun Wukong? We can see the clues from what he said after he pressed Sun Wukong on the Five Elements Mountain.
In the seventh chapter of the original work, when he learned that Sun Wukong was pressed by Rulai at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, the Jade Emperor was overjoyed and decided to hold an antiy conference to celebrate his achievements, and sent Tianpeng and Tianyou, two true monarchs, to invite Rulai to the banquet.
After the two true monarchs saw Rulai, Rulai hurriedly said: "The old monk Chengda Tianzun announced that he came here, what is the magic power? Or is Tianzun and the gods Hongfu, dare to thank you?"
If you say that the surrender of Sun Wukong is not your own merit, but the blessing of the Jade Emperor and the gods, you really can't afford the Jade Emperor's banquet to celebrate your achievements, which is obviously a modest statement.
Therefore, the truth of the matter is that he did not pay any price for subduing Sun Wukong, so he would feel a little embarrassed in the face of the Jade Emperor's hospitality. What do you think?
