In the section of resurrecting the ginseng fruit tree, Sun Wukong sought to go to the three immortals of Penglai Island. Wukong went up and messed up the chessboard, patted the birthday star's shoulder and called "brother": Brothers, my brother is in some trouble, please do me a little favor. The three immortals hurriedly stood up to greet Brother Monkey, calling him "Great Sage". It's messed up!
Wukong's cultivation is an immortal, and he is only over 1,200 years old, which is really nothing in the Journey to the West immortal system. Shouxing is known for his longevity, alias Longevity Immortal, which can be called a significant benchmark for immortal immortals in the fairy world. On the origin of immortals, qualifications and age, Sun Wukong is like a three-year-old child who has not dried up in front of the birthday star.
However, Wukong called Shou Xing his brother, and instead of being angry, Shou Xing happily accepted this title, and then offered to go to Wuzhuang Guan of Wanshou Mountain to intercede for Wukong, and asked Tang Seng not to recite the mantra and give Brother Monkey a few more days.
Wukong begged someone to do something, so trusted, he called the birthday star "brother", the birthday star was not angry but happy, and he wished he was close to Brother Monkey. The old birthday star is willing to be small and be Sun Wukong's "younger brother", it's so interesting!
Sect of Immortals: The birthday star has a transcendent status and identity in the fairy world, which is not comparable to ordinary immortals.
How big the cards of the immortals in the Journey to the West are, just look at the list of invitations to the Queen Mother's Peach Club. Those who can get together at this dinner are the real fairy world masters. It's no wonder that the Monkey King was annoyed and angry, making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, his strength was not good, and he was ignored by Hua.
The specific list given by the Seven Fairies includes: Five Elders of the Five Directions, Five Dou Xingjun, Upper, Middle and Lower Eight Cave Immortals, and Thirty-Three Heavenly Palaces and Great and Small Gods.
The Buddha of the West Heaven, the Bodhisattva, the Arhat, the Guanyin of the South Pole, the Holy Emperor of Chong'en in the East, the Immortal Weng of the Three Islands of the Ten Continents, the Xuanling of the North Pole, and the Yellow Horn of the Central Yellow Pole, this is the Five Elders of the Five Directions. - "Journey to the West"
Among them, the "Five Directions and Five Elders" refer to the immortals representing the five directions, the Western Heavenly Buddha Nyorai, the South China Sea Guanyin, the Eastern Immortals, the Arctic Xuanling and the Central Yellow Immortal. And the Oriental immortals, known as the "Oriental Chong'en Holy Emperor, Ten Continents and Three Islands Immortals", obviously include the three immortals of Penglai Island.
The five elders of the five parties are ranked in the first sequence, which shows the transcendent status of the five overlords. From the perspective of direction positioning, the birthday star has a similar identity to the Buddha of the West Heaven. The three islands of the ten continents marked by Penglai Island represent the entire Shanghai fairy mountain, and you say that the birthday star is not dragged!
Then you saw that at the Antiy Conference, in addition to the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor, the Barefoot Great Immortal and the birthday star were those who offered treasures to Rulai. There are enough portions to be worthy of serving this luxurious meal.
Therefore, the three immortals of Fu Lu Shou are also called "the sect of immortals". The so-called Sect of Immortals, as the name suggests, is the ancestor of the immortals. In addition to the immortals who opened the world, the top bosses like the Three Qing Dynasty and the Four Emperors are the birthday cows. Compare seniority, age, and seniority with the birthday star, are you sure you're not joking?
Ancestor of Earth Immortals: When you meet Zhen Yuanzi, the birthday star has to be half a head shorter.
There are people outside the people, and there are heavens outside the sky. The Immortal Sect is very windy, and when it meets the Ancestor of the Earth Immortals, it is not so beautiful.
The three stars saw the great immortal with the gift of the juniors, and then sat down. - "Journey to the West"
The three immortals of Fulu Shou are the "junior rites" to Zhen Yuanzi, the birthday star is the younger generation of Zhen Yuanzi, and the elder of the three immortals of Penglai. The birthday star is so long-lived, Zhen Yuanzi is actually older than the birthday star, a whole generation older. Why?
That town Yuanzi is the ancestor of the earth immortals, and we are the ancestors of the gods. - "Journey to the West"
Zhen Yuanzi is the ancestor of the earth immortals, and the birthday star is the ancestor of the immortals. The relationship between "ancestor" and "zong". Ancestor is the ancestral lineage, which comes from the source, and the ancestor is the branch, which is the tributary of the ancestral lineage. Zhen Yuanzi is a towering tree, and the three immortals of Fu Lu Shou are the branches and leaves of the tree.
The ancestor of the dignified immortals, why did he rush to call Sun Wukong a brother and sister, and marry Jin Lan?
Sun Wukong's master is the Bodhi Patriarch, and the Bodhi Patriarch's Xianshan Cave Mansion in addition to a couplet "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Leaning Moon Three-Star Cave", there is also a lintel called "Tianwai Immortal Sect".
The Immortal Sect is a "Sect", and the Outer Heaven Immortal Sect is also a "Sect", what's so strange? Can it be compared with the "ancestor" of the Earth Immortal Ancestor?
You'd be hasty when you think about it that way. Because the mythological worldview has a magical setting - innate saints. Da Luo Jin Xian has the possibility of advanced mixed Yuan Da Luo Jin Xian, becoming a Buddha and becoming a saint, but it can only be regarded as a "acquired saint"; there is a fixed existence in front, that is, a saint outside the Xuanhuang of the cultivation heaven and earth, therefore, with Pangu opening the world as the boundary, two standards are divided, and the previous one is called "innate saint".
The congenital saints in the Journey to the West are the three Qings, including Taishang Laojun and Yuan Shi Tianzun. Therefore, Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the earth immortals, also had to go to Miluo Palace to listen to Yuan Shi Tianzun talk about the mixed yuan dao fruit. Not to mention the Sect of Immortals, it is the ancestor of the Earth Immortals, and the Zhenyuan Immortal of the "ancestor" generation also has to be called the Yuan Shi Tianzun and a "Great Tianzun".
The Bodhi Patriarch is an existence comparable to the Three Qing Dao Ancestors, a proper innate saint. The "sect" of the Bodhi patriarch refers to the "sect of the saints", not the "sect" of the Da Luo Jin Immortal in the general sense. Of course, it is not comparable to Zhen Yuanzi's so-called ancestor of the earth immortals. The Sect of Immortals and the Ancestor of Earth Immortals correspond to the category of "Taiyi Golden Immortal".
Zhen Yuanzi and Wukong worship brothers, you can get closer to the Bodhi Patriarch, there are many benefits, why not?
Shanghai Sage: Sun Wukong is a sage of the Shanghai School and has a natural intimate relationship with the three immortals of Penglai.
The dojo of the three immortals of Fu Lu Shou is on Penglai Island, and Huaguo Mountain is known as "the ancestral vein of the ten continents, the dragon of the three islands." "What does it mean?
The ancestral vein of the immortal road of the "Ten Continents and Three Islands Immortals" on the list of the Queen Mother Pan Tao Club is on Huaguo Mountain. If Zhen Yuanzi can be the ancestor of the earth immortals, relying on the spiritual root of Xiniu Hezhou, the immortal Weng of the three islands of the ten continents relies on the "unshakable earth root" of Huaguo Mountain. ”
Looking back, the so-called "Sect of Immortals" of the birthday star, which "ancestors" of the immortals are?
There are no more than two ways to come from the immortal road, which come from two fairy mountains, namely Kunlun Mountain and Penglai Immortal Mountain. The benevolent are happy with the mountain, and the wise are happy with the water. Mountains and water represent these two wisdoms. Water is flexible, therefore, the three islands of Penglai Abbot Yingzhou, centered on Huaguo Mountain, represent the series of free and scattered immortals in the immortal system, referred to as "Shanghai School Immortals". So you see, the biggest hobby of the three immortals of Fu Lu Shou is to play chess, and they don't go to heaven to sit on duty.
Shouxing is the ancestor of the immortals, and the ancestral lineage of the Shanghai School can be traced back to Huaguo Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou. The Monkey King is the master of the Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave, from this point of view, what kind of relationship is Wukong and them?
Let's look at Sun Wukong's mentorship. What is the ultimate significance of the so-called "Extraterrestrial Immortal Sect" of Bodhi Patriarch?
The Sanqing represented by Taishang Laojun belongs to the congenital saints from the Kunlun lineage, while the Bodhi Patriarch represents the Shanghai school saints from the Xianshan Haige and the Penglai lineage. If Patriarch Bodhi is the leader of the Tongtian Sect among the gods, is it more appropriate and closer to the truth?
The four words "Outer Heaven Immortal Sect" have a huge amount of information. Patriarch Bodhi is a congenital saint of the Shanghai School, a boss of the immortals, and the authentic originator of the Scattered Immortals. If there is a father, there must be a son, and if there is a master like Bodhi Patriarch, there will naturally be a disciple like Sun Wukong.
In the end, Monkey King is a demon monkey, and he doesn't know the official rank, nor is he higher or lower than Yu Lu, but he only notes his name. When you see the three Qings, you call the word "old"; when you meet the four emperors, you say "Your Majesty". and the Nine Stars, the Five Directions, the Twenty-Eight Heavens, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Twelve Yuanchen, the Five Elders of the Five Directions, the Universal Stars, and the Gods of the River and Han Dynasties, all of them treat each other as brothers and call each other. - "Journey to the West"
From the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain to a generation of demon monkeys, and then to the Monkey King, Sun Wukong's nature is difficult to change, and he doesn't care about the name of the fairy world. Except for the Three Qing Dynasty and the Four Emperors, called Your Majesty, in fact, Brother Monkey really doesn't pay much attention to other people, and there are not so many secular rules and precepts, all of them are called "brothers".
The truth is up. Sun Wukong's temperament and style are actually tacit with the birthday star, and he is loved by scattered immortals like the birthday star. The heart yearns for it. What the body can't do, the depths of the soul can reach. On the other hand, Wukong calls the birthday star "elder brother", which is the consistent style of Brother Monkey, which does not have the distinction between the young and the old in the secular sense, and the meaning of seniority.
The immortals are at ease, the roots of the Shanghai school immortals are connected, they cherish each other, ridicule each other, and it is harmless.
