Taishang Laojun is a congenital saint, why is he helpless against Sun Wukong?

Looking at Journey to the West, we can find a very interesting question, that is, in Journey to the West, why is it that our sage is too good to be Laojun, and even Sun Wukong can't beat it?

And let's see, at that time, Nuwa and the two Taoists disappeared directly, and there was no trace at all, Sanqing was also a retreat, and so many saints were left with Taishang Laojun who was still active. And let's look at the story, Taishang Laojun doesn't seem to have any decent combat effectiveness, and it seems that even Sun Wukong can't beat him, what is the reason for this?

Let's take a look at the process of these two of them fighting, the first time he did it was when Sun Wukong appeared, and then he made a big fuss in heaven, he and Yang Jian were concentrating and in full swing, but I didn't expect the old man to appear at this time, and he attacked Brother Monkey without saying a word, King Kong threw it on his head, and Sun Wukong fell in response.

The second time was that Sun Wukong was practiced by Lao Jun, the Monkey King was sharp-eyed, and jumped out of the gossip furnace directly, at this time Brother Monkey must be angry, Lao Jun stretched out his hand to block him, but he was thrown into an upside-down green onion by Sun Wukong, we can see that the first time was a sneak attack, or a sneak attack with more and less, and the second time the two met, it was a head-to-head confrontation, and Lao Jun didn't do it at all.

But Taishang Laojun is a saint, this dignified saint, I don't know how much time he has been cultivating, and he can't beat a wild monkey who has just come out of the stone for less than twenty years? What's going on? Then there are only two possibilities, one is that Taishang Laojun was injured before or lived for a long time, and his ability became more and more declining.

However, this situation is basically impossible, because the longer the immortals practice, the greater their ability, and naturally this situation will not occur. And the second is that the six saints found that there was no possibility of advancing between heaven and earth, so they simply wandered too empty, seeking a path of progress, looking for opportunities to become stronger in the long starry sky.

Therefore, the Taishang Laojun here is at best an incarnation of the previous Laojun, as for the strength of the previous points, I believe everyone knows it in their hearts.

Taishang Laojun's main role is alchemy and preaching, so his main magic weapon is the alchemy furnace, his alchemy furnace can refine all the items in the world, but it does not refine Sun Wukong, but helps him practice his fiery eyes, so he is helpless.

Because Sun Wukong does not belong to either immortals or mortals. Like this kind of alternative, Taishang Laojun has never seen it, and the spells mastered by Taishang Laojun can't control Sun Wukong.

Because Sun Wukong's cultivation is not low, Sun Wukong is also famous in the original book, he is a congenital saint, born sexless, coupled with the spells that Sun Wukong learned from Bodhi Ancestor, it is more than enough to deal with Taishang Laojun, and he slammed Taishang Laojun upside down with a slap.

Taishang Laojun's eight pins were refined by the reed hexagram furnace.

When Sun Wukong was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he fought with the two gods, and Taishang Laojun beat him down in a circle, beating him to a stumble, so he was caught by the two gods. But thunder and slashing can't hurt him, so Lao Jun suggested that he take it back and burn it in the gossip furnace.

Lao Jun's gossip furnace is very powerful, but he just left a Xun palace position, and Sun Wukong hid in it. Xun is also windy, there is no fire if there is wind, but the wind stirs up the smoke, and the eyes are red, making an old loss with a diseased eye, which is the origin of "fiery eyes".
