"Journey to the West" is one of the four famous works of ancient China, and in "Journey to the West" is of course known to everyone, the four protagonists plus a white dragon horse.
In "Journey to the West", we often hear such a sentence: "Eating the meat of Tang monks can lead to immortality." "As long as Tang Monks go to a place, there are always some demons who want to eat Tang Monk's meat in order to achieve immortality."
In "Journey to the West", it is not only Tang monk meat that can achieve immortality, but also many things. Such as: "ginseng fruit".
The ginseng fruit is said in the original text: "The name of the grass is also Dan, and the name of the ginseng fruit." Three thousand years a flower, three thousand years a fruit, three thousand years to ripe, short ten thousand years to eat. It is as if in ten thousand years only thirty fruits have been produced. The appearance of the fruit is similar to that of a child under the age of the Three Dynasties, with complete limbs and salty features. If a man has a chance, and smells the fruit, he will live three hundred and sixty years; Eat one and live forty-seven thousand years. "You can see the magic of it.
So why didn't those demons grab the ginseng fruit and grab the Tang monk? Let's take a look.
Ginseng fruit provenance
Ginseng fruit trees grow in the backyard of Wuzhuangguan in Wanshou Mountain, West Niuhezhou, which is the place of cultivation of Zhen Yuanzi.
Who is Zhen Motoko? Zhen Yuanzi is the ancestor of the Earth Immortals. The boy in the original text said: "Sanqing is a friend of the family teacher, the fourth emperor is 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." "It can be seen what kind of person Zhen Yuanzi is."
And those monsters who want to enter the Immortal House to grab ginseng fruits are undoubtedly hitting stones with pebbles. As for some capable youkai, they have long been absorbed by some powerful people, and even if they don't, they won't do such a thing that they are not sure of.
Tang monk meat
That Tang monk meat is different, this is a door-to-door deal, to the mouth of the meat, do not catch to eat said can not be said.
In "Journey to the West", no monster travels thousands of miles to catch Tang Monks and eat meat, right? It was only when the Tang monks came to their territory that these demons would take action.
Moreover, the four Tang monks had no background, and some of the demons were not afraid of Sun Monkey at all. So don't eat Tang monk meat to eat anything.
