At that time, in the original work, the Monkey King was able to make a scene in the Dragon Palace, actually relying on the closed water method. That is to say, he has to do that kind of gesture-based water closing method, so it is particularly inconvenient for him to be in the water. He dared to go to the East China Sea, but he dared not go to any lake casually, because he was also afraid. Because he knew that under the East China Sea, the Dragon King was the largest in the East China Sea, and he knew his old neighbor very well, he dared to go to the East China Sea easily.
However, these land rivers, such as Tongtianhe, a monster that the Monkey King knows nothing about, have a good time, but it is hard to get away with it, because the water is not the Monkey King's home. Pig Bajie is different from Friar Sand. Before that, Zhu Bajie was a general with a canopy, and the water quality was excellent. Friar Sand also lived in Liusha River for many years. In terms of water quality, Pig Bajie and Friar Sand are much better than the Monkey King. Moreover, the Monkey King also gave Bajie and Friar Sand a chance to show off. After all, I can solve the monsters on land all the way to Buddhist scriptures. The monster in this water should not be a problem you can solve.
Therefore, the Monkey King's water quality is actually very poor, because if he wants to go into the water, he must rely on the water avoidance method, but the water avoidance method is very troublesome and there is no way to give full play to his skills. In case of danger, there is no way to get away with it. In terms of water, the Monkey King can't beat Pig Bajie, and Pig Bajie can't beat him, but he can still get away with it. Therefore, the Monkey King always lets Bajie go into the water first, either to spy on the enemy first, or to lure the monster up, and then the Monkey King will appease him.
