In the last issue of the review, Bugs Tianxia told everyone that in the novel "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong was named by the Jade Emperor as Bow Ma Wen, and the official position of Bow Ma Wen may not be a minor official's business. In this issue, Bugs came down to talk to you about the story of the novel "Journey to the West".
Although Bow Ma Wen is not a petty official, in Sun Wukong's view, after arriving in the Heavenly Court, he only raised horses for the gods and immortals in the sky, which was too much to look down on Sun Wukong. Therefore, Sun Wukong left the Heavenly Court in anger, and Sun Wukong's departure also left an excuse for the Jade Emperor to fight Sun Wukong.
Thus, the first battle between Sun Wukong and the Heavenly Court began.
On the side of the Heavenly Court, Li Jing, the King of Tota, was sent to lead troops to fight, and in addition to Li Jing, the King of Tota, the Jade Emperor also sent Nezha and others to accompany him in battle. On Sun Wukong's side, in addition to Sun Wukong himself, that is, those obedient demon kings. From the perspective of strength, Sun Wukong and Li Jing, the King of Tota, are not a grade at all.
However, judging from the storyline of the novel, the first battle between Li Jing and Sun Wukong ended in failure, and the second battle also ended in failure. So, if King Tota has the Linglong Pagoda, why would he lose to Sun Wukong?
The reason why Li Jing is called the King of Tota is because Li Jing has a Linglong Pagoda in his hand. Li Jing's Linglong Pagoda is extremely powerful, whether in the novel "Fengshen Yanyi" or in the novel "Journey to the West", this Linglong Pagoda is the magic weapon that Li Jing is famous for.
From this point of view, Li Jing alone can defeat Sun Wukong!
The reason is very simple, Li Jing's Linglong Pagoda can subdue Sun Wukong. As long as he fights with Sun Wukong, Li Jing uses the Linglong Pagoda, let alone a Sun Wukong, even if it is a thousand or ten thousand Sun Wukong, it will be taken away by the Linglong Pagoda.
However, Li Jing did not do so.
From the beginning of the war with Sun Wukong, to the twice because of the defeat to ask the Jade Emperor for help, Li Jing watched his men, even his two sons Nezha, Muzha and Sun Wukong fight, but never used the Linglong Pagoda in his hand.
So, Li Jing alone can defeat Sun Wukong, why does he still fail? There are perhaps three reasons for this!
First, Li Jing did not want to use the Linglong Pagoda.
In the final analysis, Li Jing is the Heavenly Tota Heavenly King, and he can also be regarded as a red man in front of the Jade Emperor. Judging from the fact that every time the Heavenly Court sent troops to battle, it was all led by Li Jing, and Li Jing was also equivalent to the Terracotta Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Court, and his status was extremely high!
On the other hand, Sun Wukong, no matter how powerful Sun Wukong was, was an unknown person at that time. If Li Jing uses the Linglong Pagoda to capture Sun Wukong, he will invisibly not only lower his own identity, but also raise Sun Wukong's identity. This was a bit too much for Li Jing, so Li Jing didn't want to use the Linglong Pagoda.
Second, Li Jing did not dare to use the Linglong Pagoda.
Although Li Jing owned the Linglong Pagoda and was also the Grand Marshal of the Terracotta Army of the Heavenly Court, Li Jing could see from the attitude of the Jade Emperor that even the Jade Emperor did not know the origin of Sun Wukong, so Li Jing did not dare to use the Linglong Pagoda to capture Sun Wukong!
In addition, from the perspective that Li Jing alone can defeat Sun Wukong, the power of the Linglong Pagoda is very powerful, at this time, Sun Wukong has not yet cultivated into an immortal body, once the Linglong Pagoda is used, it is likely that Sun Wukong will be buried in the Linglong Pagoda. Once such a situation is formed, in case someone blames Li Jing, Li Jing cannot afford to suffer.
The answer to this can be found in Li Jing's attitude. In this regard, in the fourth time in the book, "Official FengBi Ma Xin He Foot Famous Notes Qi Providence Is Not Peaceful", it is written like this:
The crown prince said, "He erected a banner outside the cave door with the words 'Qi Tian Dasheng' written on it, and boasted in person that the Jade Emperor would make him a Qi Tian DaSheng and everything would rest; if it was not this number, he would definitely be marked with the Lingxiao Treasure Hall!" The Heavenly King said, "Since this is the case, don't hold on to him, but go to the upper realm, echo this statement, and send more heavenly soldiers to surround and capture this house, it is not too late." ”
From the above description, we can see that Li Jing did not dare to make a real enemy of Sun Wukong without understanding the origin of Sun Wukong.
Therefore, Li Jing did not dare to use the Linglong Pagoda.
Third, Li Jing could not use the Linglong Pagoda.
As the Grand Marshal of the Terracotta Army, one of Li Jing's duties was to obey the will of the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor only asked Li Jing to lead troops to capture Sun Wukong, but did not let Li Jing kill Sun Wukong. In other words, the Jade Emperor wants Sun Wukong to be alive, not Sun Wukong to be killed.
Li Jing, who had been in the Heavenly Court for many years, naturally understood the meaning of the Jade Emperor, otherwise the Jade Emperor would not have agreed to Taibai Venus to recruit Sun Wukong. Therefore, Li Jing was willing to risk the end of failure, and he could not easily use the Linglong Pagoda.
Judging from the later storyline, Li Jing was right to choose not to use the Linglong Pagoda.
Although Li Jing did not use the Linglong Pagoda, Sun Wukong was eventually caught by the Heavenly Court, but in the process, why did Sun Wukong believe in Taibai Venus so much? We'll talk about this in the next issue!
