The ginseng fruit he grows ripens once in 9,000 years, and if he smells the miraculous ginseng fruit, he can live for 360 years, and if he eats one, he can live for 47,000 years. Zhenyuan Daxian has three locks of beautiful hair, looks like a child, has no weapons in his hands, and only has a jade dust deer. In the fight with Sun Wukong, a jade deer can withstand the power of a thousand golden hoop sticks, only two or three rounds, he cast a spell in his sleeve, and put Tang Seng and his apprentices into his sleeves, and his skills are really powerful. But the great immortal is open-minded, extraordinary bearing, when Sun Wukong invited the Bodhisattva to save the ginseng fruit tree, he did not remember the past suspicions, and Sun Wukong worshiped as a brother, and generously held a ginseng fruit meeting, with precious ginseng fruit banquet immortals and Tang monks and apprentices, quite a great immortal bearing.

Zhen Yuanzi, mixed name and Tiantongjun, the dojo is located in the West Niu Hezhou Wanshou Mountain Wuzhuang Temple. Among the many immortals in "Journey to the West", Zhen Yuanzi should be the most personable one.

Tang monks and apprentices passed by Wuzhuang Temple, and saw "a cluster of pine fences, several floors of pavilions", and even Sun Wukong couldn't see whether it was a temple or a temple for a while. When he got closer, he "couldn't see the majestic moral wind, and he really indifferent to the house of the gods". Although Sun Wukong once made the Monkey King, he didn't know anything about Zhenyuan Daxian. Zhen Yuanzi's Wuzhuang Temple, there is a heavenly spiritual root ginseng fruit tree, a harvest in 10,000 years, only 30 fruits. The fruit "lives three hundred and sixty years when you smell it, and forty-seven thousand years if you eat one." Daxian had a prominent status, and his disciple explained: "Sanqing is a friend of the family teacher, the fourth emperor is the old man of the family teacher, Jiuyao is the younger generation of the family teacher, and Yuan Chen is the guest of the family teacher." Zhen Yuanzi only served the words "heaven and earth" to incense, for which his disciples also said: "These two words are still worthy of the ceremony at the top, and the incense at the bottom can't stand our incense."

It was made by the teacher. "Zhen Yuanzi is the ancestor of the earth immortals, so the worship of heaven and earth is "deserved", and the respect for "heaven and earth" may be harmonious. His position in Taoism is on a par with Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiqing, or at the level of "Sanqing Alternate". There are countless scattered immortals who have gone out from under his door, and there are still forty-eight apprentices around him, all of whom are enlightened Quanzhen. There are gardens and vegetable gardens in his view, and when Sun Wukong steals ginseng fruits and sees the vegetable garden, he sneers and says: "He is also a Taoist priest who grows and eats himself."

Character Story:

When Tang Seng and his entourage passed by, Zhen Yuanzi happened to be invited by Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun to go to Shangqing Tianmiluo Palace to talk about "Mixed Yuan Dao Fruit". When he went, he brought forty-six disciples with him, and specially explained to the two disciples of Qingfeng and Mingyue who stayed behind: "There is an old man who has passed by since then, but don't neglect him." You can beat two of my ginseng fruits and eat them with him, and you can express the feelings of the old days." The second disciple learned that the master's deceased was a monk who went to the west to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures, and said: "Confucius said: "The Tao is different, and they don't conspire with each other." "We are Taiyi Xuanmen, how can we get acquainted with that monk!" Zhen Yuanzi explained: "That monk is the reincarnation of the golden cicada, the second apprentice of the Western saint Elder Rulai. Five hundred years ago, I met him at the Orchid Bon Festival. He once passed tea with his own hands, and the Buddha respected me, so it was for the deceased." also confessed: "You need to guard against his subordinates."

Sun Wukong, who thought he was well-informed, went to Wuzhuang Temple, and after listening to Qingfeng and Mingyue's introduction to Zhenyuan Daxian, he "laughed and fell", and couldn't help but shout: "You Dao Tong, you are making trouble in front of that, what kind of hollow shelf! Who is Taiyi Tianxian in Miluo Palace? What are you going to talk about, this bull's hoove!" Zhenyuan Daxian used means, even people took horses to catch them, and specially arranged forage with horses, in the name of "Tang Sanzang is a big disrespect", and wanted to whip it with a leather whip. And explained: "This monk is a monk, and he cannot ...... with a knife or gun." Seeing this, Sun Wukong was anxious to take responsibility and asked to be beaten, Daxian smiled: "This monkey is very strong." Then they will strike him first." After the fight, he wanted to beat Tang Seng again, Sun Wukong begged to fight again, and Daxian smiled: "This monkey, although it is cunning and stubborn, has some filial piety." Even if you wait like this, beat him. That night, Sun Wukong used the root of the willow tree as a substitute to make the group escape. The next morning, Daxian learned and praised: "Sun Xingzhi, what a good monkey king!" and said, "It's okay if you leave, but how can you tie some willow trees here and impostor?"

caught Tang Seng and his party for the second time, Zhenyuan Daxian ordered people to set up an oil pot to fry Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong cast a spell and smashed the stove. Daxian started the pot again and wanted to fry Tang Seng, Sun Wukong quickly stood up: "I'm going to get off the oil pot." Zhen Yuanzi accepted it when he saw it, hugged Sun Wukong, praised and praised him, and said to Sun Wukong that as long as he lived the tree doctor, he would be friends with Sun Wukong and become brothers. Sun Wukong also saw the methods of Zhenyuan Daxian, and did not dare to act wildly, so he hurried to Mishima to seek a prescription for the medical tree.

Sun Wukong visited Mishima to seek a prescription for the doctor's tree, and heard the high praise of Zhen Yuanzi from all walks of life, and when he arrived at Guanyin, he was scolded again, and learned that Zhen Yuanzi was an extraordinary immortal. Guanyin followed Sun Wukong to Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi was respectful and polite: "Xiao Ke's deeds, how dare you work Bodhisattva to descend?" Guanyin also showed the style of a gentleman: "Tang Seng is my disciple, Sun Wukong collided with Mr., and he should compensate Baoshu."

After the ginseng fruit tree was healed, Zhenyuan Daxian urgently ordered to knock down ten ginseng fruits, and asked the Bodhisattva, Tang monks, masters and apprentices to do a "ginseng fruit meeting". Sending Guanyin away, Daxian arranged vegetable wine and became brothers with Sun Wukong. When they were separated, the two were reluctant to give up, and they hated each other.
