Every time I see some short videos or Journey to the West articles, especially short videos or articles about the strength of Zhu Bajie, I can always see comments like this:
In the Yunzhan Cave of Fuling Mountain, Zhu Bajie can draw with Sun Wukong, hehe.
It's not that Zhu Bajie can't beat monsters, he's just lazy, doesn't want to work, can't work, and hides his strength.
Zhu Bajie's nine-tooth nail rake, but Taishang Laojun built it, specifically to deal with god generals, which shows how high Zhu Bajie's strength is.
Tiangang's thirty-six changes are high-level transformation techniques, which are stronger than the seventy-two changes of the earth, and Zhu Bajie's transformation techniques are much more powerful than Wukong's. I don't believe you look at the spider spirit that time, Zhu Bajie became a catfish essence, and he was very flexible and clever.
Sun Wukong fought the Bull Demon King, and he fought hundreds of rounds and was a draw; As soon as Zhu Bajie went up, the Bull Demon King was defeated and retreated, this is his real strength.
There are many similar comments, which can be summed up in one sentence: Zhu Bajie's strength is very strong, so strong that he is not weaker than Sun Wukong, but he is usually lazy or only joins the scripture-learning team to eliminate crimes, he just doesn't work hard, so he doesn't give full play to his strength.
However, looking at the original book and all of Zhu Bajie's achievements, you can find that the so-called "Zhu Bajie's strength is as strong as Wukong" is completely untenable. In the original book, many achievements and the author's narration can be seen.
Next, let's start from the original book to find out all the achievements of Zhu Bajie, as well as the author's narration and the setting in the book that can prove the strength of Bajie, and then take a look at Zhu Bajie's real strength.
In addition to the battle record, there are also Zhu Bajie's weapons and change techniques, let's also make a comprehensive and objective analysis, and finally comprehensively evaluate Zhu Bajie's strength.
Judging from the performance of Zhu Bajie's strength
Zhu Bajie has many achievements, and these records can be roughly divided into two types, one is that Zhu Bajie single-handedly fights the enemy, and the other is that Zhu Bajie and others join forces to deal with the enemy.
Let's take a look at Zhu Bajie's single challenge performance.
First, Zhu Bajie to Sun Wukong.
When Sun Wukong received Zhu Bajie, Zhu Bajie inadvertently revealed twice that when he was Marshal Tianpeng, he had an intersection with Sun Wukong, strictly speaking, "I have suffered losses" and "I can't get it".
The walker said: "He said that he asked a Monkey King surnamed Sun who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago to come and get you." When the strange man heard this name, he was terrified and said, "Since this is the case, I will go, and the two of them will not be able to do it." The walker said, "Why are you going?" The strange said: "You don't know, Bi Ma Wen who makes trouble in the Heavenly Palace has some skills, but I'm afraid that I can't get him, and he has a low name, and he doesn't look like it." ”
The strange voice: "Wow! You Bi Ma Wen, when you hit that disaster, I don't know how much I was tired, and today you are here to deceive people! Don't be rude, eat me a palladium! ”
From these two paragraphs, it can be known that when Sun Wukong was in the Heavenly Palace, Zhu Bajie fought with him, and the result was "tired". In other words, Zhu Bajie lost and was affected.
Judging from the book, it may be that Zhu Bajie also accompanied King Li Tianwang to conquer Huaguo Mountain, but was defeated; Or Wukong fought from the Tushi Palace to the outside of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and fought all the way to "no god to stop", among these immortals was Marshal Tianpeng.
All in all: When Zhu Bajie was Marshal Tianpeng, he was defeated by Sun Wukong. Even if he didn't fight directly, Zhu Bajie knew Wukong's strength, otherwise he wouldn't have said, "I'm afraid I'll just mess with him."
Second, Zhu Bajie pickets the spirit officials and the gods.
In addition, when Zhu Bajie was drunk and flirting with Chang'e, he was discovered by the picket spirit officer. Soon, the picket spirit officer took the gods again and caught Zhu Bajie.
Picket the Lingguan to play the Jade Emperor, that day I should be a clumsy fate. The siege of Guanghan is not ventilated, and it is difficult to escape without a way to advance or retreat. but the gods took hold of me.
This "picket spirit officer" is actually Wang Lingguan, because Wang Lingguan is also known as the "Dutian picket spirit officer". Obviously, Zhu Bajie's strength is inferior to Wang Lingguan's gods. Compared with Sun Wukong's single-handedly battle against the thirty-six generals of Wang Lingguan Jialei's department, and he can also "show off his might", he knows the strength of Zhu Bajie.
Third, Zhu Bajie made a messenger to Hui'an.
Guanyin Bodhisattva took the Hui'an messenger (that is, the wooden fork) to visit the scripture learner and met Zhu Bajie. Zhu Bajie fought dozens of rounds with Hui'an's envoy, and the result was evenly matched.
was blocked by the wooden fork walker, and shouted: "That monster, Hugh is rude!" Look at the stick! The demon said: "This monk doesn't know whether to live or die!" Look at palladium! "The two are at the bottom of the mountain, rushing and colliding, betting to win and lose. …… The two of them were killing to the advantage, and Guanyin was in mid-air, throwing down the lotus flower and separating the palladium staff.
It can be seen that Zhu Bajie is at most a draw with the Hui'an envoy. And the Hui'an envoy also singled out Sun Wukong, but in only fifty or sixty rounds, Hui'an was defeated.
This great sage and Hui'an fought for fifty or sixty times, Hui'an's arms were sore, and he couldn't meet the enemy.
It can also be seen from here that the strength gap between Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong.
Fourth, Zhu Bajie vs. Wukong.
In this battle, Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong fought from the second watch to dawn, which also made many readers mistakenly think that Zhu Bajie was very strong. Although, Zhu Bajie is the defeated side.
The two of them fought until the east turned white from the second watch. The monster could not meet the enemy, and fled in defeat, but still turned into a violent wind, and went back to the cave, closed the door, and never came out again.
However, Sun Wukong actually said afterwards that he was just "trying to play a trick on him." ”
The walker said: "I just tried his tricks, and I will definitely show it to you here, and don't worry." ”
Therefore, on the surface, Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong fought for several hours and tied, but in fact, Sun Wukong was playing him, and even so, Zhu Bajie was defeated.
Fifth, Zhu Bajie to the sand monk.
When he ambushed Monk Sha, Zhu Bajie fought with Monk Sha three times, all of which were draws.
The two of them came and went, and after twenty rounds of fighting, they didn't know whether they won or lost.
The two fought for two hours, regardless of victory or defeat. This is the copper basin meets the iron broom, and the jade chime meets the golden bell.
This one, coming and going, after thirty rounds of fighting, there is no strength or weakness. Bajie made another feint and dragged the palladium away. Then the monster came again, caught the waves, and hurried to the edge of the cliff.
However, when he was on land, Zhu Bajie once said that after three or five combinations, he would be able to capture Monk Sha alive.
Angry, he jumped and said, "Brother! Who's here with you! That monster gradually slowed down, it was difficult to beat my palladium, and if I didn't go to three or five together, I would catch him! When he saw that you were in danger, he fled in defeat, how can he live! ”
At first glance, Zhu Bajie seems to be more powerful than Monk Sha on land. However, Sun Wukong's words punctured Zhu Bajie's lie about boasting about himself.
The walker smiled and said: "Brother, I won't tell you the truth, since the Yellow Wind Monster descended and came down the mountain, this month has never played with a stick, I saw the sweetness of your battle with him, I couldn't help but itch my feet, so I jumped into the future to play." - I didn't know how to play it, so I left. ”
From the words "the sweetness of battle", it can be found that Zhu Bajie is actually still a draw with Monk Sha, and Monk Sha is not slow.
And when he was underwater, Zhu Bajie also said that he tried his best and could only tie.
Bajie said: "Difficult! Difficult! Difficult! Unable to defeat him, he exhausted his strength to feed, and only stretched his hands. ”
Looking at it this way, whether it is underwater or on land, Zhu Bajie's strength is about the same as that of Sha Seng.
Sixth, Zhu Bajie added a little demon to the silver horn king.
In this battle, Zhu Bajie and the Silver Horn King fought for twenty rounds, and the Silver Horn King was still a little scared, which can be said to be the highlight moment of Zhu Bajie.
The strange rumor said that there was willing to let go, make the seven-star sword, throw away the solution, and the eight rings one by one, gambling in the mountains, there are twenty rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. Bajie launched a ruthless attack and gave up his life to welcome him. The strange man who saw him snorting his ears, spraying salivation, dancing with palladium, and shouting and drinking in his mouth was also a little frightened, that is, he turned back to beckon the little monster and started together. If one hits the other, it's actually fine. When he saw those little demons coming together, he panicked, couldn't cover it, lost the battle, and ran away.
However, it can be seen from this passage that the Silver Horn King should have been frightened by Zhu Bajie's appearance, and misunderstood that Zhu Bajie was shouting for help, so he immediately beckoned the little demon to besiege him.
Seventh, Zhu Bajie is the king of inspiration.
This time, Zhu Bajie won by sneak attack, and the King of Inspiration was unprepared, so he was defeated. Strictly speaking, this is not a valid record.
The nerd jumped down, showed his true appearance, nailed palladium, and built a split, and the monster shrank his hand and walked forward, only to hear a sound properly. Bajie said: "The armor has been broken!" ”
Afterwards, Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha joined forces, but they only drew with the King of Inspiration, and Zhu Bajie also "couldn't win him", which shows that Zhu Bajie can't beat the King of Inspiration alone.
Eighth, Zhu Bajie to the spider spirit.
Zhu Bajie turned into a catfish at the beginning, teasing the spider spirit and taking advantage. However, when he was recognized and wanted to kill the spider spirit, he was quickly caught.
Ninth, Zhu Bajie to the green lion and the white elephant.
Zhu Bajie once singled out the green lion, but as soon as the green lion showed his true appearance, Zhu Bajie was so frightened that he drilled into the grass, and he didn't even have the courage to fight, which was really embarrassing. Zhu Bajie later went head-to-head with the white elephant and was still caught.
The two of them put their hands on each other in front of the hillside, and they couldn't fight for seven or eight rounds, the nerd was soft, and he couldn't stand the demons, so he hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Senior brother, it's not good!" Pull the lifeline, pull the lifeline! ”…… was caught up by the goblin, opened his nose, just like a dragon, rolled Bajie's nose, and returned to the cave in victory.
In this battle, Sun Wukong secretly helped Bajie in the back, but even so, Zhu Bajie was so frightened that he knelt down, and in a panic, he tripped and was caught.
Its tenth, Zhu Bajie against the king of Nanshan and the little demon.
This battle can also be said to be the highlight moment of Zhu Bajie, after all, he can still win against big monsters and small monsters alone.
But seeing that the nerd was surrounded by monsters, the nail palladium was chaotic, and he gradually became difficult to defeat. The walker couldn't help it, pressed the falling cloud head, and shouted loudly: "Don't be busy with Bajie, Lao Sun is here!" The nerd heard the voice of the walker, relying on the momentum, the longer the majesty, a meal of palladium, building forward, the goblin could not resist the enemy, and said: "This monk was not good before, how can this son start to be ruthless again." Bajie said: "My son, don't bully me!" My family is here too! "As soon as I moved forward, I had no head and no face. The goblin couldn't resist it, and led the group of demons to defeat.
But it can also be seen from this passage that Zhu Bajie is relying on the majesty of Sun Wukong. Rao is like this, Bajie is also tired of "sticky salivation, foaming at the mouth". If there was no Monkey King, he wouldn't even be able to beat the King of Nanshan.
In fact, there are still some records that are not listed, otherwise Zhu Bajie's record is even more ugly.
For example, Bajie went to Huaguo Mountain to invite Sun Wukong, but Wukong refused to go down the mountain, so he scolded a few words, and the little monkey caught him. You know, these little monkeys can't even be beaten by hunters!
For example, Zhu Bajie went to the bottomless pit and met two little banshees who were drawing water, but because Bajie had no weapons, he couldn't beat the two little banshees.
In the Red Boy Huoyun Cave, Zhu Bajie couldn't beat the little demons, and was captured alive by a group of little demons. Zhu Bajie couldn't even beat mortals, and in Chechi Country, Zhu Bajie was even caught by several captains and almost sent to the oil pot.
Let's look at Zhu Bajie's record of joining forces with others.
There are many such records, and when it falls on Zhu Bajie, there are losses and wins, and there is no need to analyze if you lose, mainly depending on Ying's several records.
For example, Zhu Bajie and Wukong teamed up to defeat the Tiger Vanguard; Zhu Bajie, Sun Wukong and Sha Seng joined forces and lost to Zhenyuan Daxian; Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng joined forces to draw the King of Inspiration; Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong teamed up and lost to the scorpion essence; Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng joined forces to defeat the Golden Horn King; Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng worked together, but they couldn't defeat the Yellow Robe Monster (in this battle, the author's narration said that twenty Zhu Bajie couldn't beat the Yellow Robe Monster); Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong joined forces to defeat the Bull Demon King and others.
Specifically, let's analyze Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie teamed up to defeat the Bull Demon King. Because of this record, it has become a point for many readers to boast that "Zhu Bajie is better than Sun Wukong".
Bajie was furious when he heard this, and raised his nail palladium to scold in front of him: "I have plagued your bloody skin!" How dare you change into the appearance of your ancestors, deceive my senior brother, and make my brother discordant! "You see that he has no head and no face to build nails and palladium, and the bull king has been fighting with the walker for a day, and he is tired and tired; The second is to see that Bajie's nail palladium is fierce, and he can't cover it, so he will leave if he loses.
It can be seen from this passage that the reason why Zhu Bajie lost was because he was already exhausted and mentally exhausted after fighting with Sun Wukong for a day, which is the main premise.
The second time, Zhu Bajie also relied on Sun Wukong's supernatural powers to defeat the Bull Demon King.
The three of them forgot to die, and they fought more than 100 times. Bajie initiated stupidity, relying on the supernatural powers of the practitioners, lifting palladium to build randomly. The bull king couldn't hold it, and when he turned around in defeat, he ran to the cave door
If Zhu Bajie dealt with the Bull Demon King alone, the Bull Demon King would not even give a disdain, he was also a heart ape, and his ability was the same as Sun Wukong, he couldn't look down on Zhu Bajie at all, he could only look down on Sun Wukong.
Bajie approached and scolded indiscriminately: "Splash the old and peel the skin!" What kind of person you are, dare to measure that size! Don't go! Look at palladium! The Ox King shouted: "You rammer of bad food, don't see anything! Call the monkey up! ”
The Bull Demon King took a sword in his hand, and Zhu Bajie had to take a few steps back.
The old cow didn't even speak, and cut his face with a sword. Bajie raised his palladium to meet him, took a few steps back, and when he went out, he already had a great holy wheel rod at the head.
Therefore, if you talk about fighting alone, the Bull Demon King hangs Zhu Bajie.
Judging from the weapon, Zhu Bajie's strength
Many people boast that Zhu Bajie has a powerful nine-tooth nail rake, and Zhu Bajie himself said, "Why are you afraid that you have a copper head and an iron brain, and you will be so angry that your soul will be exhausted!" But in fact, Sun Wukong stood still and let Zhu Bajie fight, and Zhu Bajie couldn't hurt Wukong by half a point.
When the walker heard this, he took the iron rod and said, "Don't talk about idiots!" Lao Sun sticks this head out there, you build it, and see if you may lose your soul? "That monster really lifted the palladium, built the future with all his strength, pounced, drilled the fire and flames of the palladium, and never moved some scalps. bluffed his hands and feet, and said, "Good head!" Good head! ”
It can be seen that the nine-tooth nail rake can't hurt Sun Wukong. Blowing a nine-toothed nail rake is powerful, but it is just a realization and boasting of Zhu Bajie, but this is not in line with the original work.
Judging from the changes, Zhu Bajie's strength
There are also some readers who always like to boast that "Zhu Bajie has 36 changes in Tiangang", "Tiangang change is an advanced change technique", "Tiangang change is a great magic power, and the earth evil change is just a small spell" and so on.
However, the original work clearly states that it is "the change of the number of Tiangang" and "the change of the number of earth evils", the number of Tiangang is thirty-six, and the number of earth evils is seventy-two.
When Sun Wukong learned that there are two kinds of change techniques, he also clearly said "I wish to touch it for many miles", obviously to learn a large number of change techniques, that is, the change of the number of earth evils.
As for some people who say that "the thirty-six changes include mediation and creation, and the reversal of yin and yang", this is from another book, called "The Legend of the Three Suiping Demons" or "The Legend of the Immortals of the Past Dynasties", which is different from the setting of Journey to the West and cannot be applied.
Zhu Bajie himself said that his transformation technique can only become big stupid elephants, stones, etc., and cannot become small things. When he changed a scale of gold, he had to rely on Sun Wukong's help.
Of course, some people will say that Zhu Bajie has changed into a catfish, which is a small thing. Don't forget, Zhu Bajie is Marshal Tianpeng, in charge of the Tianhe Water Army, and he will change into something in the water, which is normal.
To sum up: Whether it is weapons, transformation techniques or pure martial arts, Zhu Bajie is very weak, so weak that he is the same as Sha Seng, and his strength is not as good as the Yellow Robe Monster, and the Yellow Robe Monster is a god general who was scared by Sun Wukong. Obviously, Zhu Bajie is far weaker than Sun Wukong, and he is indeed just the strength of "farting to add wind".
If you really don't understand, or are misled by other people's articles and videos, you think that Zhu Bajie is very strong, then you can take a closer look at the original book and analyze it. "What you get on paper is shallow, and you never know that you have to do it", you must read the book and think by yourself.
Of course, if you deliberately reverse black and white just to attract traffic, attract attention, negotiate traffic, and attract attention, saying that Zhu Bajie's strength is as strong as Wukong, then I didn't say it.
