In the novel "Journey to the West", there are many arrogant and rampant, but most of them are monsters, generally speaking, the immortals are still relatively humble; the reason why it is not all in general is because there are exceptions, such as the one to be said here, he is called "the ancestor of the earth immortals", although I don't know whether it is self-proclaimed or true, but those who can be called "ancestors" are often very remarkable, such as the Buddha of the Western Heavens Blissful World.
Yes, here is the controversial Zhen Yuanzi Daxian in the whole book, the cave house of the Zhenyuanzi Daxian is in the Wuzhuang Temple of Wanshou Mountain, there is a magical immortal fruit in these five Zhuang temples, called ginseng fruit, this ginseng fruit is not easy to grow, but the effect is extremely strong, it is said that "if a person has the opportunity to smell that fruit, he will live three hundred and sixty years; eat one, he will live for forty-seven thousand years", although the effect is not as good as the peach of the Queen Mother's mother, but it is also a very rare immortal fruit between heaven and earth.
This town Yuanzi is known as the "Ancestor of the Earth Immortals", and he has such a magical immortal fruit, naturally he is crazy, how crazy is he? According to his boy, "Sanqing is a friend of the family teacher, the four emperors are the deceased of the family teacher, Jiu Yao is the younger generation of the family teacher, and Yuan Chen is the next guest of the family teacher"; what level is Sanqing? Sanqing is the grandfather of Taoism, and his status is still above the Jade Emperor; the Four Emperors should be the Four Emperors, second only to the Jade Emperor in power, three are the brothers of the Jade Emperor, and one is the son of the Jade Emperor.
The status of Jiu Yao and Yuan Chen in the Heavenly Court is also not inferior, they are really real power factions; among them, the status of the Buddha should be similar to that of the Four Emperors, but it is also a little different, it is estimated that it is the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Korea. Do you think Zhen Yuanzi's madness is limited to this? Far more than that, at that time, not only mortals had to offer incense, but also gods and immortals; the cultivators offered Sanqing, the Buddha, the Emperor, and the Jade Emperor, while ordinary people offered sacrifices according to their own needs.
At that time, the gods and immortals also needed to be enshrined, and this zhenyuanzi was a cultivator at first glance, but did not offer offerings to Sanqing, but to "heaven and earth", and his boy also said, "These two words, the upper ceremony is still dang; the lower one still can't stand our incense." It was the family teacher who came out. This is really crazy, and judging from his boyish tone, this is definitely not made up by the boy himself, but what Zhen Yuanzi usually said to his disciples.
This town Yuanzi is so crazy, then does he really have such strength? I have to say that Zhen Yuanzi's personal resources and his own strength are indeed OK. When the Tang monks and his party came, he happened to be invited by Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun to go to the Shangqing Tianmiluo Palace to listen to the "Mixed Yuan Dao Fruit", although he did not know whether it was true or not, but the "Mixed Yuan Dao Fruit" was the supreme realm of cultivation; if it was true, it could be seen that Zhen Yuanzi's strength and status could be seen, but it could not be confirmed.
In addition, after learning that Sun Wukong smashed his precious ginseng fruit tree, he easily captured Tang Monk and his party with one move, but that was all; in fact, Sun Wukong was not afraid of this town Yuanzi at all, if he had not learned to be obedient, it is estimated that he would have beaten away a long time ago, but Zhen Yuanzi had no way to face Sun Wukong's repeated mischief; later, Sun Wukong went to find help in order to save his master, and as a result, he invited Guanyin Bodhisattva who allowed him to "call Tian Tian Ying and call the Earth Spirit".
As a result, when Zhen Yuanzi saw Guanyin Bodhisattva personally coming, he was so shocked that he hurried out to greet him, and was respectful and courteous: "Xiao Ke's deeds, how dare you labor bodhisattva to descend?" "The speed of this punch in the face should not be too fast, although Guanyin Bodhisattva is indeed well-known, and the cultivation is extremely high, but in the end it is much lower than the Three Qing, the Four Emperors and the Buddha of Rulai, etc., while Zhen Yuanzi is so attitudeistic, and he also calls himself "Xiao Ke", which shows how zhen Yuanzi's true status in the Immortal Realm really is, and there may not be a few real gods to take care of him in ordinary days.
In addition, Sun Wukong had already seen through the reality of Zhen Yuanzi, and when Qingfeng and Mingyue introduced Zhen Yuanzi, Sun Wukong laughed and his stomach hurt, and said, "You shy boy, you are tricking ghosts in front of that, what hollow shelf!" Who is the Taiyi Heavenly Immortal in the Miluo Palace? Please what do you bull hooves say! "What do you mean?" The lowest level that can go to the Miluo Palace to listen to the lecture is also the Great Luo Golden Immortal Level, and this town Yuanzi is only taiyi Tianxian cultivation, and there are two major levels of Taiyi Golden Immortal and Great Luo Tianxian in the middle!
To tell the truth, if it were not for the completion of the task of learning the scriptures, the Eight Precepts of the Pig and the Sha Monk would suppress him at any time, because the Eight Precepts of the Pig and the Sha Monk were at least already Taiyi Golden Immortal level cultivators; and Sun Wukong, who had been rumored on the Internet to be the Great Luo Golden Immortal Cultivator, was actually unknown, but he could later be named "Fighting to Defeat the Buddha", and there might really be a Great Luo Golden Immortal level cultivator; and before the Tang monk was reincarnated, there should also be a Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation, which is why Zhen Yuanzi would be flattered after receiving the Golden Cicada Tea in his early years.
