The Journey to the West, one of the four classical novels, tells the story of four Tang Sanzang, a master and a disciple, who, after eighty-one rare scriptures, subdue demons and arrive in the Western Heaven. Of the four apprentices, the Monkey King is the most capable. The Monkey King is also called? The Monkey King? Because he took a lot of elixirs, it seems that he really lives with heaven. In fact, what you don't know is that there are four kinds of pills recorded in Journey to the West, three of which are taken by the Monkey King, and only the fourth one is afraid. Let's see what they are.

The first kind: ginseng fruit

The growth of ginseng fruit is particularly difficult. According to the description, it takes three thousand years to blossom, three thousand years to bear fruit and three thousand years to mature. In other words, a ginseng fruit will grow for 9000 years and be picked gracefully. It is said that just a smell can prolong life. Several other disciples ate a lot of ginseng fruit when the Monkey King was in a riot. This is the third thing the Monkey King ate about being immortal.

The second kind: flat peach

The record of flat peaches in Journey to the West is as follows: flat peaches are divided into three classes, the small ones can become immortals after eating, the middle ones can live forever after eating, and the big ones can live with the sky after eating. This is a rare treasure, but in the chapter where The Journey to the West and the Monkey King dally with the Seven Fairies, he enjoys it. Because of this, most of the treasures were eaten, which led to the failure of the Flat Peach Festival and angered the Queen Mother.

The third type: then.

Back in the Monkey King, I once ate the elixir that should have been given to the Empress Dowager in the alchemy room of Taishang Laojun. Taishang Laojun has a good knowledge of alchemy and is a master in this field. He has some pills that can prolong life, and these pills are among the best.

The fourth kind: Tangseng meat.

There is a saying in the mouth of the The Journey to the West monster that eating the flesh of the Tang Priest of the Eastern Tang Dynasty can lead to immortality. Not to mention whether this statement is true or not, even if eating Tangseng meat can really make you live forever, the Monkey King flatly refused to try. That's his master. It is his mission to escort him all the way to the Western Heaven. However, this is not the case for monsters blocking the western road. After all, it is difficult for them to get soaring in the normal way. If they want to live forever, they must find another way to plan to eat Tang Seng meat.
