In fact, if we look closely at the original work, we can find that the battle between the Monkey King and Erlang God, whether it is fighting martial arts or fighting magic, is evenly matched.
In the original book, Erlang God and the Monkey King fought many times. They competed in front of Guo Huashan for the first time.
The original road: The true king and the Great Sage have fought more than 300 times, and I don't know whether to win or lose. ?
In the Journey to the West, the Monkey King's dozens of battles are described in detail. Among them, Erlang Shen and Niu Wangmo are the only ones who can play more than 300 rounds with the Monkey King. Other first-class Lich Kings, such as Qing Niu Jing and Huang Mei Guai, only played fifty or sixty rounds with the Monkey King. As for the lion demon in Lion Tuoling, the elephant demon, the mountain Hong Haier and the king of the golden horn and silver horn in Pingdingshan, they can only fight the Monkey King for twenty or thirty rounds at most, and they are defeated.
Erlang God and the Monkey King fought for 300 rounds. Is the original text clear? Don't know the outcome? , that is, both have spare capacity, it is difficult to tell the outcome.
Because the fighting capacity was not good, the two began to fight. The book describes in detail the magical powers of the Monkey King and Erlang God. In contrast, both have their own advantages and disadvantages.
First of all, Erlang God embraced the spirit, exerted the magical power of Dharma and Heaven, and turned it into a great god. The Monkey King will also shake his body and become like Erlang's body, with a general face. Under all kinds of golems, it is still difficult for the two to win or lose.
The Monkey King chose to leave because he saw the monkey in the cave being driven away by the Six Saints of Meishan. While fighting, the Great Sage suddenly saw the demon monkey in his camp in shock, fleeing in all directions and being in a state of confusion. He took the statue, took back his cane and left. ?
Jiro strode after him, and the Six Saints of Meishan also surrounded him. the Monkey King had to use the technique of variation and turned into a sparrow to escape. In the impression of many friends, Erlang God has a third eye. According to Dan Tianfang's ballad, Erlang God has seventy-three changes, one more than the Monkey King.
In fact, in the original Journey to the West, Erlang God didn't have a third eye at all, so naturally there would be no seventy-third change. In the original work, Erlang God can see through the changes in the Monkey King only because he is cautious and thoughtful.
In the original text, the Monkey King suddenly disappeared, and Erlang God asked doubtfully: Where have the brothers gone and disappeared? ?
Meishan Liusheng Road:? So it was surrounded and disappeared here. ? The original road: Erlang opened his eyes wide and saw the Great Sage become a sparrow, nailed to a tree. ?
If Erlang had a third eye, he wouldn't have to ask the Six Saints of Meishan. He could see that the Monkey King turned into a sparrow, or a sparrow suddenly appeared in a tree.
Moreover, it is also written in the original work that the Monkey King can also see through the changes of Erlang God.
At that time, the Monkey King was becoming a fish. Downstream, I suddenly saw a bird in front of me. Like an egret, with no tassel on the top, like an old stork, with no red legs, the Monkey King thought? I think Erlang God has changed. Wait for me. ?
Later, they changed it many times, and finally the Monkey King became a small temple with a flagpole on its tail. Erlang rushed to the edge of the cliff, but he didn't see the bird he was chasing. He saw a small temple. The original text says? Staring at the phoenix eye, I saw the flagpole standing behind me and smiled. This is a monkey. ?
Erlang God predicted that this temple was the change of the Monkey King, not because he had a third eye, nor because he could see through the change of the Monkey King, but because a flagpole was inserted at the back of the temple, so he inferred that this small temple belonged to the Monkey King.
There is a simple reason. There are generally no flagpoles in temples. Even if the flagpole is inserted in the barracks, it should be placed in front of the barracks.
Later, the Monkey King went to the pass and became Erlang God. In Erlang Shen's family, I did a lot of bullying, which greatly satisfied my vanity. When Erlang God arrived, the two sides fought again and returned to Huaguo Mountain.
Just when Erlang God and Monkey King were at loggerheads, Taishang Laojun made a sneak attack, knocked the Monkey King over with King Kong Zhuo, and the Six Saints of Meishan swarmed on him and captured the Monkey King alive.
Seeing this, I think everyone can understand that Jiro couldn't have taken the Monkey King without the help of the old man.
The reason is very simple. Whether fighting or fighting, the Monkey King never loses to Erlang God, and the Monkey King has magical powers far beyond Erlang God? That's the Monkey King's somersault cloud. As long as the Monkey King tried to escape, Erlang could not catch up.
In other words, fight or flight, between the Monkey King's ideas, the Monkey King is completely invincible.
Moreover, out of the chart, the Monkey King's physical fitness in the Journey to the West has never been tired. Even if he is seriously injured, he can be full of blood in a very short time. Erlang God and the Monkey King fight for a long time, and they will be defeated by Erlang God.
After all, the Monkey King is the protagonist of Journey to the West.
