When the Tang Priest and his party passed by, Zhenyuanzi happened to be invited by Jade Qing Yuanshi Tianzun to talk about "Mixed Yuan Daoguo" at Tianmiluo Palace in Shangqing. When I went, I took forty-six disciples with me, and specifically told two disciples left behind, Qingfeng and Yue Ming, "I have an old friend who will pass by in a few days, so don't neglect him. You can beat two of my ginseng fruits and eat them with him to show your old feelings. "
The second disciple learned that Master's old friend was a monk who went to the Western Heaven to worship Buddha for Buddhist scriptures, and said, "Confucius said," Don't share the same sky, don't share the same sky. I'm waiting for Taiyi Xuanmen. How can I know that monk? Zhenyuanzi explained: "That monk is the reincarnation of Jin Chan, the second disciple of the Buddha in the West. Five hundred years ago, I met him in the' Lanpen Club'. He once handed tea in person, and the Buddha respected me, so he was an old friend. "
Stealing ginseng fruit, knocking down the fruit tree, not admitting mistakes or apologizing, the master and the apprentice quietly ran away; Being chased by Zhenyuan Daxian for questioning, he prevaricated with lies. Zhenyuan Daxian used tricks, even took people and horses to catch them, and specially arranged to give them fodder, trying to whip them in the name of "Tang Sanzang is too big to respect". And explained: "This monk is a monk, so he can't use a sword …".
When the Monkey King saw this, he took responsibility and asked for a replacement. Daxian smiled and said, "This Po Hou is fierce. This will hit him first. " After the fight, he wanted to hit the Tang Priest again, and the Monkey King begged to hit him. The Big Fairy smiled and said, "Although this Po Hou is treacherous and stubborn, he is somewhat filial. If you wait, hit him. "
That night, the Monkey King took the body double, the willow root, and made the party escape. The next morning, Daxian knew about it and praised it: "Monkey, what a good monkey king!" " He said, "You can leave, but how can you tie some willows here and pretend to be an impostor?" Then catch up with four people and a horse and take them back to the view.

Why can't Yuan Zhi in Wuzhuangguan Town become an immortal? Because Zhenyuanzi's behavior is incompatible with the pure inaction of Taoism and Taoism, he can't be a fairy.
Fairy is a fairy in the sky or a fairy with magical power in ancient myths and legends. However, there are several levels of immortals. On the 26th time, Fu Lushou was shocked to hear that the Monkey King had knocked down the ginseng fruit tree, and said, "You monkey, you don't understand people at all. That Zhenyuanzi is the ancestor of the immortal, and we are the ancestors of the immortal; Although you have fairies, you are still too ignorant. How can you get rid of him? " This sentence has two meanings. One is that Wukong is already a fairy, but his level is still very low, and he is a fairy scattered by Taiyi; Secondly, it is said that Zhen Yuanzi is the ancestor of the immortal, but he didn't get the name of the immortal.
The Monkey King returned from studying with Bodhi, who was still a fairy. Taibai Venus said that the Jade Emperor wanted to recruit him to heaven, but he agreed without saying anything. From then on, Wukong entered the immortal class and became famous. However, anyone who enters the fairy means that he is a formal staff member of heaven and enjoys all kinds of welfare benefits of heaven; However, this treatment is quite attractive, such as getting a share of flat peaches every year; It can also be exempted from strict jurisdiction; More importantly, the status is much higher.
In terms of seniority, Zhenyuanzi is quite old. He is not only a friend of Sanqing, but also an old friend of Sihuang. No one can stand his worship ceremony; In terms of strength, he can put the whole Buddhist scripture into his sleeve with one sleeve. Have such ability, say he is poor, and few great gods in the whole westward journey are better than this. But he can't be a fairy, which probably has a lot to do with his couplets at the gate of the armed customs.
Description in the original work: There is a pair of Spring Festival couplets on the second door: "The fairy house will never die, living with people in the same heaven." When Wukong saw this, he said with a smile, "This Taoist is bluffing. Five hundred years ago, when my grandson was in heaven, my old gentleman had never seen this on his head. " As is known to all, Lao Jun is the founder of Taoism and one of the Sanqing. Even he dare not talk big, Zhen Yuanzi, who has not yet become an immortal, is so bluffing.
In fact, it can be seen from this pair of couplets that Zhen Yuanzi is not a pure-hearted person. Knowing that Tang Priest was the Tathagata's second disciple, Zhenyuanzi boasted to his disciples that he had been handed tea by the golden cicada, and even called it "Buddha respects me", claiming that Tang Priest was his old friend, so he ordered Taoist children to entertain him and put down two ginseng fruits for Tang Priest to taste.
Obviously, Zhenyuanzi's behavior is incompatible with Taoism's emphasis on purity and inaction, so the jade emperor will not canonize an arrogant person as a fairy, even if his magical power is sky-high It is strange that he does not pay attention to the cultivation of character and mind. He thinks he can succeed by taking connections. Obviously, this is the most unreliable, so he can't be a fairy.
To sum up, although Zhen Yuanzi is very strong, he can't be a fairy.
Why didn't Yuan Zhi in Wuzhuangguan Town become a fairy? Because he is already the ancestor of the immortal, there is no need to fight for the immortal. Immortals are divided into heaven and earth, ghosts and gods. Regardless of rank, they are all equal. Even the Monkey King, who is helpless to the Hundred Heavenly Soldiers, is helpless to Zhen Yuanzi, which shows how strong his strength is. In fairy tales, Fuxi and Nu Wa are the ancestors of immortals, but their strength is not necessarily lower than that of Zhenyuanzi. They are both one of the Five Immortals. There is no need to compare them and divide them into different grades.
He is already the ancestor of the immortals, so there is no need to be immortals any more. Fairy and fairy are just different types and have no affiliation. Many people say that Zhen Yuanzi can't become an immortal because he is arrogant and sticks couplets at the door. Heaven doesn't like him and wants to please the western spiritual forces. Friar Sand has seen overseas immortals celebrate their birthdays with ginseng fruit, which means to curry favor with others. This is complete nonsense. Can't somebody else's immortal ancestors have a friend and express a little birthday wish? Attend a western banquet to please the west? It's just finding fault with eggs.
If Daxian really wants to curry favor with someone, he won't just worship heaven and earth at home. When Tang Sanzang asked the boy why he worshipped heaven and earth instead of Sanqing Four Emperors and Luo Tianzhu, the boy said, "Forgive the teacher for speaking frankly, these two words are above ceremony;" The ones below can't stand our fragrance. That's the master's flattered. "
Tang Sanzang asked again, "What is flattery?" The boy said, "Sanqing is a friend of the mentor, Sihuang is an old friend of the mentor, Jiuyao is a junior of the mentor, and Chen Yuan is a guest of the mentor." Since people only worship heaven and earth and are old friends with Sanqing and Four Emperors, it shows that people are equal in seniority, so what are they going to do?
Zhenyuanzi's strength is above Tathagata. Why is he just a fairy? There are three reasons for the skill level of Zhenyuan Daxian.
1, Zhenyuan Daxian, the ancestor of Xian Di.
Zhenyuan Daxian started from the land, and the land was his root. Without land, he will lose his foundation and become free. Therefore, the significance of land to Zhenyuan Daxian is beyond the understanding of immortals. Just as Poseidon is inseparable from the Aegean Sea, Anubis is inseparable from the desert, and Otto is inseparable from Northern Europe.
Therefore, Zhenyuan Daxian can only be a fairy, and the earth also needs a myth. The fairy group needs someone to be the master.
2. Immortals are human beings, and the kingdom of heaven is inevitable.
As we all know, Journey to the West is not so much the romance of God and Buddha. It is better to say that the world belongs to people, so it is normal for the kingdom of heaven to be vulgar. Compared with the real society, there are many people who are unworthy of virtue, shameless people, high-ranking people, vegetarians and harmful people everywhere.
However, it should be pointed out that this is also the normal state of human social life. Therefore, it is nothing if Zhenyuan Daxian, a highly skilled master, encounters injustice in the world of immortal Buddhism, where one is enlightened.
3, Zhenyuan Daxian, the leader of the celestial world
Since there are many gods and buddhas in the sky, it is just like human society. There is a problem that all social classes have a head of a rooster and a tail of a phoenix, and every class will have outstanding people. However, due to the restriction of social rules, carp crossing the dragon gate has become a legend. Fan Jinzhong became a joke.
Therefore, as a fairy, Zhenyuan Daxian is no exception. The rigid theocracy doomed the immortal status of Daxian. Unless there is a special chance, you can become the "upper class" of the celestial world. Therefore, there is a difference between the secular god and the ancestor of the immortal, let alone the Buddha.
How much is the strength of the four Taoist imperial envoys higher than that of Zhenyuanzi? There is no Zhen Yuanzi in Taoism. This man is a pure fiction of a novelist, and bears no resemblance to this man. The Four Emperors helped the Jade Emperor to rule the three realms and ten squares, while Zhen Yuanzi in the novel was just a fairy in charge. The emperors of the four empires all had perfect ruling institutions, and many times they didn't need to make their own moves. So in terms of strength, the four princes must be higher than Zhenyuanzi.
The Monkey King, Erlang Shen, Niu Wangmo, Liu Er Macaque, Jiuling Sheng Yuan, Zhenyuanzi, the ancestor of Zhenyuanzi, ranked first in strength.
Erlang God is the first beater in heaven. After listening to the announcement, he ranks second in Qitian Great Sage, and a disciple, Bodhi King, Bodhi King, Bodhi King, Bodhi King, Bodhi King, Bodhi King, Bodhi King, Bodhi King, Bodhi King, Bodhi King, Bodhi King, Bodhi King, ranked fourth and ninth in Lingyuan Sage, with strong strength and both wisdom and courage. They are powerful fiends in the west, and they are quite alone, and there are several reasons why the powerful Zhenyuanzi and the Monkey King sworn brothers are not in the same camp.
1, in order to revive his dead ginseng tree.
Zhenyuanzi proposed to become brothers with the Monkey King because the Monkey King destroyed Zhenyuanzi's ginseng tree. Zhenyuanzi attaches great importance to this tree, because it takes many years to bear ginseng fruit, which is enough to see the preciousness of this tree. Originally, according to the laws of nature, it is impossible to resurrect a dead ginseng tree. Zhenyuanzi's mood of reviving the tree is also particularly strong. He will only say the Monkey King's sworn words in anger. His original intention was that his tree could not be resurrected. He said become sworn brothers, in fact, is to * * * the Monkey King.
To Zhen Yuanzi's surprise, the Monkey King really revived the dead tree. Zhen Yuanzi didn't want to become sworn friends with the Monkey King, but he said the flowers himself. If his words don't count, it will have a bad influence on his reputation, so he can only fulfill his promise and become a heterosexual brother with the Monkey King.
Being friends with the Monkey King has many practical benefits.
The Monkey King belongs to Buddhism, and Zhenyuanzi belongs to Taoism. Although not in the same camp, everyone has their own resources, which can be used by the other side. The Monkey King, as a popular figure in Buddhism, has a lot of contacts in his hand, and the Monkey King itself has certain strength.
It is because of various considerations that the Monkey King and Zhen Yuanzi became brothers, which is good for both sides. Therefore, Zhen Yuanzi is willing to become brothers with the Monkey King, which is also helpful for Zhen Yuanzi's future development.
Maitreya Buddha or Zhenyuan Daxian, who is stronger, comes from Journey to the West. According to the analysis, Maitreya and Zhencheng are far from the same level, but it is hard to say that they have the ability to fight one-on-one. This is like saying who is stronger, the Jade Emperor or Erlang God? Strength is not only about individuals, but also about resources that can be mobilized! Moreover, Zhenyuanzi has at least one trick, "dry Kun in the sleeve", which Maitreya failed to do! But definitely above Guanyin, right? It is said that there are specialties in the art, bodhisattva can save ginseng fruit trees, and Zhenyuanzi can't save them after all.
Maitreya Buddha, the future Buddha, is revered. One child is enough for the Monkey King to drink a pot, so he dares to pretend to be the Tathagata. When the Monkey King found the Lord, he had to call out "Buddha" respectfully, and even dared not search for Excavate, Laojun and even the Jade Emperor. The ancestor Zhen Yuanzi was in opposition after all, and bet with the Monkey King that he would only let Sun become sworn brothers. Journey to the West (20 1) Daxian (4)
