Chapter 114: Taiyi and Da Luo
Taiyi and Da Luo in the Journey to the West are two branches of the same cultivators, and those who have cultivated orthodox Taoism such as the Three Qing and Four Emperors, the Twelve Golden Immortals, or Zhu Bajie can be called the Da Luo Jin Xian, in other words, the Da Luo Jin Immortal is the name of the people in the system, and the immortals who practice the orthodox art of the 36 Tiangang in the heavenly court can be included in the Da Luo; and the Taiyi series is not included in the Taoist orthodoxy, so it is often called the scattered immortals, free from the system.
So this is why Sun Wukong heard that Zhen Yuanzi went to Yuan Shi Tianzun to listen to the mixed Yuan Dao fruit, and couldn't help but sneer at who was Taiyi Tianxian in Namira Palace, which is also understandable, this is like a group of people in the system holding an internal meeting, and a top rich man has to join in the fun, which is not reasonable at all.
Although it seems that the two avenues of Da Luo and Taiyi have no impact on strength, for example, Sun Wukong is Taiyi Golden Immortal, which is much more powerful than Zhu Bajie, who claims to be a Da Luo Jin Immortal, and Daxian Zhen Yuanzi is the top of Taiyi, and his strength is much stronger than that of the Twelve Golden Immortals.
But even so, in general, the avenues are the same, but in the end, it was found that all those who have attained the position of saints in the Three Realms are Daluo series, so Daluo will be called the Great Dao, and Taiyi is only a side door after all, and is called a scattered immortal or an earth immortal by the world.
Moreover, although Zhen Yuanzi is known as the ancestor of the earth immortals, his power is small and pitiful, and even the Taoist temple can only be set under the influence of Buddhism, so it also indirectly affects his status in the Three Realms. As a fellowship with the saints, the power of chaos at the beginning of the opening, seeing Guanyin Bodhisattva is extremely respectful, even if there is a great revival of Buddhism, but it is inevitable that it will fall into the ranks.
But fortunately, there are ginseng fruit trees beside him, so he is also polite in the Three Realms, after all, you can live for 47,000 years by eating one, which is a treasure for life.
But don't underestimate the importance of the top innate spiritual root, the ultimate meaning of immortals is immortality, and there are only two means to live forever.
The first is to cultivate, to cultivate to the realm of immortal and immortal saints, even the immeasurable calamity can't do anything to you; the second is to sit in a row and divide the fruits, and when the time limit is approaching, eat a ginseng fruit or a peach to continue your life, and then continue to cultivate or wait for the next peach feast, day after day, year after year, this is why the heavenly court will gather a large number of immortals to serve it, in addition to the constraints of the god list, it also needs to rely on the 3,600 peach fruit trees in Yaochi, big sticks and sweet dates, the eternal truth.
Just as Fu Lu Shou Sanxing once said, if they want to live forever, they still need to cultivate essence, practice qi, save spirits, reconcile dragons and tigers, and catch and fill in the obstacles.
Tang Song took a deep breath, no matter what, this trip also has to get a ginseng fruit to taste, this is one of the few benefits on the way to learn the scriptures, and it must not be missed.
"Wukong, Bajie, Wujing, when you arrive at the Wuzhuang Temple for a while, don't open your mouth indiscriminately, and the province will annoy the master in the view. Tang Song couldn't help but explain.
"Wuzhuang Guan, what kind of place is that?" Zhu Bajie couldn't help but ask curiously.
Tang Song hurriedly said: "That is the cultivation dojo of a big man. β
"Big man?" Sun Wukong sneered, "How do you, a mortal monk in the flesh, know any big man? I'm afraid it's not a Bodhisattva Arhat hiding in the mountains!"
Tang Song sneered, "This person Zhen Yuanzi, known as the ancestor of the earth immortals, even Guanyin Rulai has to respect him for three points, what do you say?"
Sun Wukong scratched his head, nodded and said: "That's a bit of ability, but Lao Sun doesn't ask for people and things this time, why bother with him? Aren't you afraid that that person will also worry about your flesh and skin?"
Tang Song was speechless, what does it mean to be worried about his flesh and skin, what is it to say so disgustingly, I don't know and think that there is some ulterior transaction in it!
"That great immortal has lived for hundreds of millions of years, how can he care about the poor monk's Taoism?" Tang Song said.
"The elder is talking nonsense again, what kind of ability does that Dao person have to live for hundreds of millions of years? I'm afraid that the Jade Emperor will not live as long as him!" Zhu Bajie couldn't help but sneer.
"You don't know, that Zhenyuan Great Immortal is a great power that existed at the beginning of Chaos, and there is an innate spiritual root associated with it, called the Ginseng Fruit Treeββ"
"Ginseng fruit trees?" exclaimed the three of them in unison.
Sun Wukong blinked, "But that grass is still dan, I heard that it can prolong life and become an immortal, even Lao Sun has only heard its voice, but has never really seen it." β
Zhu Bajie also swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "I heard that this grass is an innate spirit fruit with the same name as the peach, but it is a great treasure, even the old pig was not able to taste it when he was the marshal of Tianpeng!"
"Forty-seven thousand years old. Although Sha Wujing's face was expressionless, there was also a light in his eyes.
"Yes, it's that ginseng fruit, and I'm passing through here this time, so I might want to ask for a few to try. Tang Song was ashamed to speak, as if the ginseng fruit was like a glass ball in his eyes, and he could bounce it down if he said it.
Zhu Bajie snorted lightly, and said with a look of disbelief: "The elder actually deceived us with such bluffing words, that ginseng fruit is an innate spirit fruit, and it is rumored that only those thirty will be produced in 10,000 years, I am afraid that only the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother Sanqing and the like can taste it, what ability do we have to ask him?"
As he spoke, he rolled his eyes, looked at Sun Wukong and said flatteringly: "Brother Monkey is very strong and has great skills, it is better to take this opportunity to let Brother Monkey go in and touch a few out, so that we can satisfy our hunger." β
"That's a way to do it. Sun Wukong's eyelids blinked, and he seemed to be quite moved, back then in the heavenly court, he dared to steal food, and how could he put it in his eyes.
"Don't!" Tang Song hurriedly spoke out to stop it, in the original work, he could steal the ginseng fruit, and even knock down the ginseng fruit tree, it was Zhen Yuanzi's intention to let it go, otherwise even a hundred monkeys would never be able to touch the slightest shadow of the ginseng fruit, I didn't see that Zhen Yuanzi saw the toppled ginseng fruit tree in the original book and was not in a hurry from beginning to end, obviously he had a fixed mind in his heart.
Presumably, Zhen Yuanzi saw the rise of Buddhism and wanted to get a piece of the pie, so he joined forces with the Bodhisattva and others to set up a game, the purpose is probably just to make friends with Buddhism, and sell a small face.
Paying more than a dozen ginseng fruits, in exchange for the friendship of Buddhism, how suitable is this deal, as for the ginseng fruit tree being pushed down by monkeys in the process, Zhen Yuanzi probably didn't care at all, as an innate spiritual root born in the early opening of chaos, it is not much better than the top magic weapon, how can it be so easy to destroy, Tang and Song are very suspicious that there is no Guanyin's jade dew, and the ginseng fruit tree is also a.
Tang Song coughed lightly and said, "You don't know, the poor monk and that Zhenyuan Daxian also have some friendship, and I think I can get a few this time." β
Zhen Yuanzi has a relationship with Jin Cicada, and Jin Cicada is equal to a poor monk, so Zhen Yuanzi also has a relationship with a poor monk, no problem!
As for the reincarnation of the first life, it shouldn't matter much! Well, it should be......
