Tuxingsun

Overview

土行孙是《封神演义》中的异术人物，身材矮小，却掌握极为特殊的地行之术。他师从夹龙山飞云洞惧留孙，能够借土遁在地下高速行动，因此在战场上拥有普通武将难以防备的能力。 土行孙最初私自下山，并带走师父的捆仙绳，后来进入商军阵营。他凭借地行术和捆仙绳接连给西岐造成麻烦，能够突然从地下出现，又能以法宝擒拿对手，使姜子牙一方一度难以应付。 在惧留孙出面之后，土行孙最终归顺西岐，并与邓婵玉结为夫妻。此后他加入伐纣阵营，继续利用地行术执行突袭、潜行和破阵等任务，成为周军中能力极为特殊的一员。 土行孙的形象并不依靠高大神威，而在于一种近乎无法以常规方式防守的奇异能力。地行术、捆仙绳以及他与邓婵玉的关系，共同构成了这个人物最鲜明的故事特征。

Tuxingsun is a specialist in supernatural earth-traveling arts in Investiture of the Gods. Small in stature but extraordinarily difficult to contain, he studies under Jùliúsūn of Feiyun Cave on Mount Jialong and possesses the ability to move rapidly beneath the ground. He initially leaves his master without permission and takes the Immortal-Binding Rope with him. Entering the Shang camp, Tuxingsun uses his underground movement and magical rope to cause serious trouble for the forces of Xiqi. He can disappear beneath the battlefield, emerge unexpectedly, and capture opponents before conventional defenses can respond. After Jùliúsūn intervenes, Tuxingsun eventually changes sides and joins Xiqi. He marries Deng Chanyu and thereafter participates in the campaign against Shang, using his unusual abilities for infiltration, surprise attacks, and other missions suited to his earth-traveling art. Tuxingsun’s power does not depend on imposing appearance or overwhelming physical strength. His identity is defined instead by an ability that bypasses ordinary battlefield defenses. His earth-traveling technique, the Immortal-Binding Rope, and his marriage to Deng Chanyu together form the central elements of his story.
