Zhang Kui patent

Yang Jian, like the Monkey King, will change 72 times. Journey to the West told the Monkey King for the second time that he was willing to "learn from the changes of a detective", so "knowing everything means knowing everything". At that time, he learned the formula, practiced it himself, refined it himself, and learned all the seventy-two changes. " When Yang Jian was introduced in the Fortieth Romance of the Gods, he said that he "practiced nine turns of Gong Xuan, seventy-two changes, and infinite wonderful way", and poking fun at Zhang Kui (the eighty-sixth time) was the best interpretation of his "infinite wonderful way". The novel also specifically mentions that he has become a fox and a mink (Chapter 40), a stone (Chapter 54), a five-colored cock and a centipede (Chapter 9 1. How much has Yang Jian changed? In fact, there is no clear definition of a number in various legends of Erlang God. Generally speaking, he only said that he was miraculous and had fought with cattle. Inferring, The Romance of the Gods is confident that Yang Jian will "change seventy-two", probably because there are hints from stories such as "Erlang God locked the Great Sage on a monkey" and "Little Sage and Great Sage came to the world", and it is believed that since Erlang God can subdue the Monkey King, at least his variable index cannot be less than the Monkey King's. The battle between Wukong and Erlang God (2) is related to the above details. Yang Jian can often get into his opponent's stomach and force him to submit, which is strikingly consistent with the Monkey King's "somersault and vertical dragonfly" in the monster's stomach. At this point, the Monkey King has at least made Black Bear Essence, Princess Iron Fan, King Huangmei and Green Lion Essence suffer (see 17, 59, 66 and 75 respectively). There are three paragraphs in the Romance of the Gods: For the first time, Yang Jian got into the belly of the fox mink as soon as he appeared. "When you pinch the fox mink's heart, it will fall down with a loud cry, and Yang Jian will appear and hold the fox mink for two periods", which greatly frustrated the enemy's spirit (40th time); The second time, after being eaten by Ma Yuan, "Yang Jian used 89 yuan's works, and the change was wonderful. He took a grain of Khitan, which made Ma Yuan diarrhea for three days and Ma Yuan diarrhea for half "(60th time); The last time, Yang Jian "put his hand on his heart" in Zhu Zizhen's abdomen, forcing Zhu Zizhen to show his true colors and kneel in Zhou Ying (92nd time). It is not the Monkey King's patent skill to defeat the enemy by making trouble in his stomach (Hua Guang in The Journey to the West also has this skill), but many Erlang gods do not have this skill except Yang Jian. Therefore, it makes sense to think that Yang Jian's specialty comes from the Monkey King. Erlang Shen (III) In Journey to the West, when the Monkey King lost to the monster, he always tried his best to find out the details of the monster and then moved reinforcements, which is almost a narrative routine of Journey to the West. Similarly, Yang Jian in The Romance of Gods once played such a role. When encountering an extremely difficult enemy, Yang Jian is responsible for finding out the identity of the enemy, and then defeating the enemy by asking the immortal or borrowing treasure. For example, Yang Jian went to Jialongshan to inquire about the origin of Tu and the whereabouts of the bound fairy rope, and asked Tu's master to stay at the foot of the mountain (back to 55); Borrow a demon mirror to show that the prototype of Mashan is a small lamp holder, and then move the lamp to appease it (back to 63-64); I learned the solution to the poison of blood knife from the real jade tripod, and then easily killed Yu Hua (back to 75); I also learned the details of Gao Ming and Gao Jue from Yu Ding, so that I could destroy his lair and get rid of his witchcraft (the ninetieth time). 58, 8 1 year, Emperor Wen of Sui asked Fuxi and Shennong for herbs that could cure plagues and pox, which can also be classified into this category. (4) Yang Jian changed her face several times. For example, after Yang Jian killed the magic fox mink, he became a fox mink who wanted to steal Four Treasures of the Study, the fourth general of the Magic Family, because he only stole one piece because he disturbed the other party (40th time). Another example is that Yang Jian made a change in Penglai Mountain to cheat a fairy's elixir (the 75th time) in order to break the blood knife. This is easily reminiscent of the famous plots of the Monkey King's "Tengna Deceiving Baby" and "Two-tone Banana Fan" (episodes 34 and 60). (5) the Monkey King made flat peach, royal wine and elixir into a piece with Samadhi fire, and became the body of King Kong. "Knife cuts axe, spear cuts sword, don't hurt your body" (the seventh time), which the Monkey King himself is quite proud of. It clearly describes the plot of the head of the Monkey King, and six thieves "spin guns and dance swords" according to the head of the Monkey King. I didn't know Yang Jian had such magical powers. In Chapter 42 of the Romance of the Gods, Wen Zhong defeated Jiang Ziya, Nezha, Han Dulong with Yin and Bian in the First West Shu War, but when Yang Jian went to war, Wen Zhong "sacrificed and fought against Yang Jian, only Mars, regardless, as usual". (6) The Romance of the Gods tells that Tu sneaked into the assassination and saw a concubine sleeping on the bed. He unconsciously moved his desire, but took off his clothes and went to bed. I didn't expect this concubine to be changed by Yang Jian, so Yang Jian "put his hands around Tu" and "Tu is naked and can't show off" (back to 54). The plot of Yang Jian's clever capture and slaughter of Sun Hang is somewhat similar to the plot of Gao Guzhuang's the Monkey King teasing Zhu Bajie. These are the similarities between Yang Jian and the Monkey King. Because it is still controversial whether The Journey to the West and The Romance of the Gods came into being first, I don't want to simply assume that the image of Yang Jian has taken over the image of the Monkey King, although this situation is more likely than its opposite. However, it should be emphasized that these similarities between the two sides are not reflected in Erlang God except Yang Jian, which at least shows that Yang Jian's image is not only from Erlang God, but also has some connection with the Monkey King. Of course, the Monkey King is one of the origins of Yang Jian's image, and most of it lies in Yang Jian's identity as Erlang God, because the evolutionary history of Erlang God and the Monkey King's respective images has always been overlapping and intertwined.
