Black Myth: Wukong: The Most Comprehensive Explanation of the Golden Cudgel's Moves

Changing size and length: The Ruyi Jingu Bang can change in the wind, changing the size and length of the stick at any time and place. It can also change by voice control. When reduced, it can become as small as an embroidery needle and be inserted into the ear for idleness. When in use, it can be directly taken out from the ear. When shaken in the wind, it can become a large iron rod as thick as a bowl and two zhang long. And it is as heavy as Mount Tai and cannot be shaken by ordinary people when standing on the ground. When Sun Wukong uses the divine power of "imitating the heaven and earth", the Golden Cudgel will also become extremely huge, reaching up to the Thirty-Three Heavens and down to the Eighteen Levels of Hell. Other immortals can also change the size and quantity of their weapons. Although the size change and variable skills of the Golden Cudgel are not rare, they do not need mana to drive but are controlled as one wishes.

Weapon Rain: A spell ability to increase the quantity of weapons and conduct throwing attacks. It is the same move that appears when fighting against Prince Nezha. During the battle of mana between the two sides, when Sun Wukong saw Nezha turn his weapons into a huge number of tens of thousands and attack, Sun Wukong also continuously turned a single Golden Cudgel into tens of thousands in scale to counterattack. A large number of Golden Cudgels and Nezha's large group of densely packed demon-subduing weapons fought each other crazily. Countless weapon replicas collided madly in the air like raindrops and meteors, automatically bombarding back and forth. When fighting against the Green Bull Demon and the Jade Rabbit Demoness, this move was also used. It is suitable for group damage.

  Drawing a Circle on the Ground: A method for finding safety. Sun Wukong points the Golden Cudgel at the ground and draws a circle, forming an invisible surrounding barrier. As long as one is within the range of this safety circle, one can block the attacks of all monsters and wild beasts. No dangerous external objects can approach. However, this circle drawn on the ground cannot block the wind or resist the cold. It can only defend against living enemies. And if the people inside take the initiative to walk out of this circle, they will lose their protective power.

  Unlocking Technique: A spell for unlocking without a key. In order to escape from the Wuzhuang Temple, Sun Wukong holds the Golden Cudgel in his hand and uses an "unlocking method". Pointing at the door, there is only a sudden sound. The double bolts of several doors all fall off, and the door panels open with a whoosh. [109] Later, in order to steal the weapons of the gods that were taken away by the Green Bull Demon with the diamond bracelet, Sun Wukong uses an invisibility spell and goes straight to the door. Seeing that the door is tightly locked, he takes out the Golden Cudgel, points at the door, and uses the unlocking method. The door opens gently.

  Morphing: The Golden Cudgel can be transformed into other forms of objects: "Taking out the stick smoothly, blowing a breath of immortal qi and shouting: 'Change!' It immediately changes into a pure steel file. Bending over the ring around the neck, with three or five files, it files it into two sections." Later, it has also changed into other items. For example, it has changed into a "drill with three pointed tips" to drill holes in cabinets. It has also changed into a "razor" and shaved the king of the The Kingdom of Annihilating All Monks into a bald head and also shaved the Taoist boy of the Tiger-Power Immortal into a monk. It has also changed into a "Buddhist precept knife" and cut off the ear of a black fish demon and the lower lip of a catfish spirit. When Sun Wukong was trapped by the golden cymbal of the Yellow-Browed King, he once changed the Golden Cudgel into a steel drill and drilled a hole in the tip of the horn of the Jiao-Kun-Long. When dealing with the seven spider spirits, he changed the Golden Cudgel into seventy-one forked sticks with double horns for stirring silk.

  Stealing Peaches from Under the Leaves Posture: A special stick technique move when fighting against Kui Mu Lang - "Lifting the stick with both hands and making a 'high probing horse' posture. The monster didn't recognize it as a trick. Seeing an opening, he brandished his precious sword and rushed directly to cut at the lower three ways. Sun Wukong quickly turned into a 'great middle and flat' move, parried his sword, and then used a 'stealing peaches from under the leaves posture' and struck at the monster's head with a stick. The monster disappeared without a trace. Quickly retracting the stick and looking, the monster was gone."

  Performing Stick Techniques: Sun Wukong shows off the Golden Cudgel and demonstrates stick techniques to his disciples - "Throwing away the Golden Cudgel and making a'magnificent cover from above' and a 'yellow dragon turning around' move. Up and down, turning left and right. At first, the person and the stick were like adding flowers to brocade. Later, the person disappeared and only a sky full of sticks was rolling... The three brothers showed their extraordinary powers and were all in mid-air, showing off their might together. This is truly: The true Zen scene is extraordinary and different. The source of the great way fills the vast space. Metal and wood display their might and fill the Dharma realm. The elixir turns and combines perfectly. Divine weapons are sharp and appear at any time. Elixir items are produced everywhere and are highly respected. Although Tianzhu is high, one should still be on guard against one's nature. The prince of Yuhua will eventually return to the center."

  Pure Yang Stick Technique: The Golden Cudgel itself is an object of pure yang. It can exert pure yang qi. Coupled with the help of Tang Monk's true Dharma body, it can drive away the yin demons that attempt to seize the scriptures: "Wukong, however, held up the iron rod with both hands and guarded on both sides. It turns out that the wind, fog, thunder, and lightning are all signs made by yin demons who want to seize the scriptures that have been taken... 'First, the scriptures are soaked by water. Second, your (Tang Monk) true Dharma body is suppressing them. Thunder cannot strike, lightning cannot shine, and fog cannot confuse. And I, Sun Wukong, am holding the iron rod and using the nature of pure yang to guard. Until dawn, the yang qi is strong again. So they cannot be taken away.'... The pure yang body likes to face the sun. The yin demons dare not act arrogantly."
