Chapter 179 Is the Gossip Reliable?

"How many reinforcements came before and after the Yellow Eyebrows of Xiaoxitian? Even within such a powerful group like the Twenty-Eight Mansions, there were Bodhisattva disciples and the True Martial Turtle and Snake Generals. They were all captured."

"Huang Mei can be said to be powerful because of Maitreya's magic weapon. I guess it was a fair victory for him against the centipede monster, the final boss of this PV level. He would lose after fifty rounds of martial arts, and he may not be as good as Huang Mei, but he has defeated the Great Sage with his magical powers, which are very powerful."

"It can only be said that one thing can overcome another, and the plot requires it or the monkey is not in good shape."

"It's impressive that the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord won once with his magical powers, but to put it bluntly, the monkey just fell headfirst and became dizzy after entering the golden light array. In other novels, if someone entered the array without understanding the situation, they would basically die."

"Intelligence is very important, killing on first sight is normal."

"Monkey Brother encountered too many situations along the way, and they were all unfamiliar methods. It's normal to overturn without paying attention. In fact, the real life-threatening situation is the carelessness of smoke causing eye disease in the Bagua Furnace and refining powerful magic tools such as the Yin Yang Two Qi Bottle."

"The Golden Light Divine Power isn't particularly dangerous, and even the Horse-Falling Poison is only extremely painful. The Scorpion Demon's martial arts skills are exceptional, but it's still far from being able to kill Monkey King. If you were to translate it into other historical novels, this kind of power, which can only injure people, would actually be similar in effectiveness to Zhang Qing's Last Feather Arrows and his powerful stones."

Zhang Qing's record is also outrageous. He defeated fifteen Liangshan generals, including the Golden Spear Master Xu Ning, the Golden-Haired Tiger Yan Shun, the Hundred-Victory General Han Tao, the Heavenly Eye General Peng Qi, the Ugly County Horse Xuan Zan, the Double Whip Hu Yanzhuo, the Red-Haired Ghost Liu Tang, the Green-Faced Beast Yang Zhi, the Bearded Man Zhu Tong, the Winged Tiger Lei Heng, the Broadsword Guan Sheng, the Double-Spear General Dong Ping, and the Swift Vanguard Suo Chao. Later, when the Liangshan side knew he could throw stones, he still injured Lu Zhishen. However, the actual ranking is definitely not calculated in this way.

"To be honest, when Monkey King was trapped in the Centipede Monster's Thousand-Eyed Golden Light Formation, if he had used his great Heavenly and Earthly Powers first, I don't think even the powerful monsters' magical powers would have been able to defeat him. Everyone has powerful moves, but on his journey to the West, Monkey King didn't use these hidden magical moves, only his basic skills."

"Sparrow food, the monkey's seventy-two transformations, the pangolin, avoided the calamity of the hundred eyes and escaped the golden light after drilling out twenty miles. However, his power of heaven and earth is ten thousand feet high, standing tall and upright, so his body is more than twenty miles long. Open up first, the golden light cannot cover him."

"I think so too. It's like everyone has been in a group fight. On the way to the west, Kuimu Wolf transformed into a yellow-robed monster, which was a disaster, but it was quite unremarkable. I felt like the monkey was just playing around and not taking the fight seriously. The centipede monster was also just playing around."

"I poisoned his tea to see what tricks he'd use, then waited and waited until he used his ultimate Golden Light, only to be defeated. I feel like if Monkey King knew his trump card and didn't ask the Bodhisattva for help, he'd really come back and use his ultimate hard anal attack, and the Centipede Monster would probably win."

In fact, Huang Mei and other monsters on the journey to the West were very powerful, but Monkey King’s record was even more powerful.

The original novel of the Great Heavenly Venerable is very impressive, unlike the TV series where he crawls under the table and says "Quickly call in the Buddha" - Gu Meng did not say that the TV series is bad, it is just artistic expression - but it does not mean that Havoc in Heaven is purely an act.

Interpretations are all personal understandings. There is no need to think that the Monkey King is very weak and too weak just because you thought he was very powerful when you were young.

Especially in modern times, Monkey King's status has been constantly rising, and finally he was completely integrated into the mythological system of the Chinese nation and became everyone's hero.

Gu Meng has always felt that Journey to the West may be slightly inferior to Dream of the Red Chamber in terms of literary value and writing techniques, but its status is higher. It is the highest achievement that a novel can achieve, and it has influenced the nation's memory and culture, just like Homer's epic.

The Lord of the Rings also has similar achievements, such as replacing various images such as dragons and elves in previous legends, and completing the feat of using novels to transform a system culture. This kind of thing is too powerful for literary works. If popular novels can achieve this, how much higher can the achievements be?
However, although the original work has a high status, it does not mean that it cannot be adapted.

It's quite normal. In the animation Havoc in Heaven, Monkey King really overturned the Heaven and it ended with him laughing. That is to say, the animated version of Monkey King was successful. There was no Tathagata at all, let alone the Journey to the West afterwards. The animation did it first.

No one thinks that the adaptation of Havoc in Heaven is bad.

Moreover, at that time, New China was using Wukong to express the revolutionary spirit of resistance. That's how animation should be shot, killing the Heavenly Palace that represented the oppressors.

And not counting the ultimate enhanced adaptation like "Havoc in Heaven" where Monkey King can directly overthrow the Heavenly Palace after coming out of the furnace, just looking at the Monkey King's record in the original novel is also outrageous.

The battles between Huaguo Mountain and Havoc in Heaven seemed to be a record, no wonder the Jade Emperor dared to take turns to sit on the throne.

For example, Kuimu Lang had fought in the Second Battle of Huaguo Mountain, but at that time he was only considered an insignificant leader among the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals.
"The Jade Emperor was furious. He immediately sent the Four Heavenly Kings, along with Li Tianwang and Prince Nezha, to summon the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the Nine Stars, the Twelve Yuanchen, the Five Directions Jie Di, the Four Guardians, the Eastern and Western Stars, the Northern and Southern Gods, the Five Mountains and Four Rivers, and the Constellations of the Universe. A total of one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers were deployed, and eighteen nets were deployed to descend to the Flower-Fruit Mountain to surround it and capture the man and punish him."

This gang is absolutely perfect for catching monsters. Even the Bull Demon King doesn't get this kind of treatment.

As we will see later in the text, even 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals together were no match for Sun Wukong.

Li Tianwang said, "Yesterday, we set up camp here and sent the Nine Stars to challenge him, but he displayed his magical powers and they were all defeated and fled. Later, we personally led our troops, and he also deployed his troops... but he used the clone technique to retreat. When we withdrew our troops and investigated, we only captured wolves, insects, tigers, leopards, and the like, but we didn't catch even a single demon monkey."

The battle ended in a pure one-on-one duel, and the monkeys and their descendants were basically of no use. He fought alone with the 100,000 heavenly soldiers using the clone technique, and he didn't even use the great supernatural power of the law of heaven and earth to deal with it.

Moreover, the ranking of the nine stars in front is actually not low. If they are taken alone, they are definitely much higher than the twenty-eight constellations. The sun and the moon are just one of the nine stars. They may not be as high as the emperor, but they can be regarded as half-step gods.

Judging from the fact that Kuimulang, a relatively strong one among the Twenty-Eight Mansions, could fight Monkey King for fifty rounds on his journey to the West, it is estimated that any of the half-step gods like Jiuyao could fight with Wukong for a hundred rounds on the journey to the West, or could not be defeated no matter how hard they fought.

As a result, when the monkey was really forced into a desperate situation, he was so shameless. There was no difference between fighting together and fighting alone. For the monkey, there was no difference between fighting in a group and fighting alone, but he still couldn't win. Didn't he care about his face at all?

Kuimulang is very powerful. He is not as good as the best but better than the worst. In the original text, Bajie, Sha Seng fought with the monster for thirty rounds, but there was no winner.

In fact, there was a guardian deity who secretly provided buffs to help Bajie and Sha Seng. As a result, Tang Seng was captured and Kui Mulang still had the upper hand.

After Wukong was invited back by Bajie, Kui Mulang fought with Sun Wukong for fifty or sixty rounds without a clear winner, but then Sun Wukong took advantage of his weakness and beat Kui Mulang with a stick, and the wolf disappeared without a trace.

The original text also states that Kui Mulang was the general that Sun Wukong frightened when he caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace:
The twenty-seven constellations, receiving the order, emerged from the Heavenly Gate, each chanting an incantation that alarmed Kui Star. ... Where do you think he was hiding? He turned out to be a divine general who had been frightened by Sun Wukong's rampage in the Heavenly Palace... Only after hearing the incantations of his own constellation did he dare to emerge and join the others in the Ascension to the Lower Realm.

The Great Sage stopped him at the Heavenly Gate and was about to fight him, but fortunately the stars persuaded him and he was taken to see the Jade Emperor.

A simpler interpretation is that he is in the middle of the god realm, with a solid foundation but not strong enough, and he is afraid of being beaten to death by the monkey.

This is consistent with the scene in Chapter 6 where Sun Wukong alone defeated 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals. This shows that Kui Mulang's strength was indeed far inferior to Sun Wukong's, causing him to have a strong psychological shadow.

I feel that the fifty rounds between him and Wukong at the beginning of his journey to the West seemed exaggerated. Maybe Monkey King was judging whether the opponent was familiar by his moves.

Conspiracy theory aside, perhaps Monkey King is truly afraid of hitting the wrong person and getting into trouble. Except when he's completely driven crazy, he'll trade blows with anyone and help boost their status. Otherwise, if you don't give him face, Kui Mulang is pretty strong among the Journey to the West monsters. He can defeat Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha together, and even better, he can fight Sun Wukong, who doesn't use any magical powers, for fifty rounds without Sun Wukong taking it seriously.

But once Sun Wukong gets serious, he can easily defeat Kui Mulang even with martial arts alone.

However, if they were facing Sun Wukong who had unleashed his magical powers, even one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, including the twenty-eight constellations, would be easily defeated by his clone technique.

Moreover, if Wukong eats enough golden elixirs, his mana bar will probably be infinite.

Even when it was obvious that Monkey King was letting the game go, he was still the MVP.

Even in this situation where he was slacking off, except for the foreign aid, 80% of the kills on the road were his, and he had no choice but to die in battle.

It’s not true that the rest of the Westbound Group won without any effort, right?

"If it were a real fight to the death, I'm sure Monkey Brother's record would be really impressive, but he's not like that. He has so many monsters to fight, he won't miss out on all of them at once."

"I'm still not serious. That's right. After all, this is a test from Tang Sanzang. It's not easy for a god to come together to face this challenge. I need to work hard. Normally, it's not easy for him to pass it quickly."

"Actually, it was the same with Bull Demon King. His main body was less than a thousand feet tall, but Monkey King's first reaction was to call Nezha forward."

"Brother Niu and Brother Monkey do have some friendship, they can't be considered just drinking buddies."

"Why would Heaven do it itself if it could? Monkey King also made it up."

"If Heaven doesn't take action, they might even blame Monkey King for making them feel invisible and have no role to play."

Everyone in the live broadcast room started discussing various combat theories and their derivatives, starting with the uncle who was probably the centipede monster, so much so that no one mentioned the spider monster anymore.

—In front of you is Mother's orchid room. Here are a few words of advice for you. Mother is usually kind, except when she eats, she likes to be alone. Don't bother her. Also, don't look too closely at her face, especially her eyes.

——Sister, we can’t delay any longer.

——You must remember my words carefully.

——Hurry up! Don’t miss the time.

—Brother...you've made me wait so long. Life in heaven is truly not a place for human beings. I'm glad you can come back. Girls, prepare the feast!
……

"It turns out she's really an old lady."

'She's dressed a bit scary, to be honest.'

"Not being able to look my mother in the eye, and eating... it's a bit scary."

"The groom here is definitely Bajie, right? Don't tell me it's some Monkey King-transformed Bajie getting married. If this old lady is the heroine, she's crazy. She could rival the original Starry Sky Special Attack."

"Not really, not really. We don't know anything yet, but I believe the Dragon King will definitely not offend players. You can check his record: 130 wins and 0 losses. He has never offended players in the past three years. His character is guaranteed."

"Indeed, I was stressed out. By the way, is anyone playing Star Attack?"

"It's going to be released tomorrow. Someone tried it out at the Edamame exhibition today. It's just okay."

The host was also a little curious: "How do you say it?"

Although he also took over Guangzi from Xingming Special Attack, he has not played it yet.

"It's a bit hard to put into words. I'm in Donghua City. I just waited in line for a long time and finally got a spot. I ended up playing the prologue for half an hour, and all I can say is, it's tasteless and a pity to throw it away. It's a bit tasteless."

"I think it would be easier to get started if you haven't played Captain China before, and if you particularly like this game. Although there are many guns, I feel that the feel is a bit average, just not good enough, and it feels weird. Then when I feel something is wrong, the realism drops."

"Boss, it's mainly about the girls. What does the poster girl say?"

"It's okay. I feel like she doesn't have many scenes in the prologue, and she hasn't been officially revealed yet. The time is up, so I guess I have to wait until tomorrow. Judging from her appearance alone, she's okay. Although her realism isn't as high as You Xuan's, she's sexy enough."

"That's good, that's good. I want to try it."

"I advise everyone to calm down and wait and see what the subsequent chapters say. Although Rennie is unlikely to cheat in the prologue, it is possible that the technical strength of the subsequent chapters will decline. I have a rumor that the actual performance of Rennie's first-generation helmet is less than half of the original version of Youxuan's first generation. Game optimization is also a big problem."

"Is the rumor reliable? It's been a few years, and isn't it said that the performance of these devices will at least double every three years at the same price? The Renni generation is so much more expensive than the Youxuan generation."

"Everyone above said it was just gossip, don't believe it. I'll buy it first. The sooner you buy, the sooner you can enjoy it."
