This Zhen Yuanzi is nicknamed "Yu Tian Tong Shou" because he has an ancient divine object that can make people immortal, the ginseng fruit tree. The gods in heaven are not immortal either, and when the calamity is approaching, they also need to find ways to prolong their lives. This is also the important reason why immortals always have immortal elixirs that can make people immortal.
Zhen Yuanzi has the innate spiritual treasure ginseng fruit, so he can live as long as the heaven and earth, so he got this well-deserved name. Although Sun Wukong has become a Taiyi Sanxian, after all, the title of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven is self-proclaimed. He can't really be compared with Zhen Yuan Daxian.
When Sun Wukong followed Jin Chanzi to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, he passed by Wanshou Mountain and fought with Zhen Yuan Daxian. Although Sun Wukong and Zhen Yuan Daxian were not much different in terms of cultivation, there was still a huge difference. After all, Zhen Yuanzi was a friend of the Three Pure Ones, and his position was much higher than that of the Jade Emperor. But considering that Sun Wukong was a loyal and kind person who wanted to save his master Tang Monk, Zhen Yuanzi became brothers with Sun Wukong.
After Sun Wukong became the Taiyi Immortal, he also experienced many tribulations. This made Sun Wukong feel unwilling. After all, most gods are outside the Three Realms and are not in the Five Elements. But Sun Wukong had to go through 81 tribulations and finally be named Buddha. Sun Wukong also had some opinions in his heart. Although the more reputation and status, the better, but in Sun Wukong's view, this was also the conspiracy of the gods.
Since Wuyazi and Jiuli Zhenren left Huaguo Mountain, Sun Wukong seemed to be a little relieved. After all, Wuyazi and Jiuli Zhenren were also rare people with good foundations that Sun Wukong had seen. Such a good disciple is rare. However, in the eyes of Douzhan Shengfo, the disciple's future is full of dangerous obstacles, and in the eyes of this Buddha, he is also a little reluctant. After all, Sun Wukong is a chivalrous god with feelings in his heart.
In the temple, Sun Wukong faced the immortal Zhenyuan, who had five long beards and a Taoist look. He put his hands together and asked, "Brother, you seem to be living a peaceful life in this quiet place!"
The Zhenyuan Immortal straightened his eyes slightly, with a amiable look on his face. He said to Wukong in front of him: "Brother, you are so free. It seems that the position of the Buddha is also enviable!" After that, he stroked his long beard with his hands, looking serene and at ease.
Seeing this, Sun Wukong was also unrestrained and sat on the precious chair beside him. He sighed and said, "Alas! Since becoming a Buddha, I have been bound by the etiquette and I feel a little uncomfortable."
Zhen Yuanzi smiled but did not answer, looking like an elder. After all, this Monkey King was a smart and clever creature, and monkeys were playful and active by nature.
Sun Wukong continued, "I think you seem quite honest. Your old friend, Laojun Yuanshi of the Three Pure Ones, is a very high-ranking person. Although you have the title of supreme, you are not really a supreme person. You are just enjoying a leisurely life in this world."
"What do you mean, Great Sage?" Zhen Yuanzi was a little puzzled and looked at the clever monkey with a serious expression.
Sun Wukong said: "Those who have achieved success in Taoism are admired by the world. But you, the ancestor of earthly immortals, are neglected in the human world. You have a great reputation, but it is difficult to have real power. The Taishang Laojun sits alone in the realm of the Three Pure Ones, controls the List of Gods in his hands, and connects people's hearts with the mysterious secret, and regards it as the way of heaven, and manipulates the world, which seems a bit vulgar. As a result, the people in this world are greedy, angry, stupid and arrogant, and now they have become even greedier, making people's hearts no longer ancient, and the world is in chaos. Even the gods are scheming against each other, and it has become difficult to maintain justice!"
When the Great Immortal Zhenyuan heard what Wukong said, he said, "You naughty monkey, although you have become a Buddha, it is still difficult to change your playful nature." Wukong laughed non-stop when he heard this.
Zhen Yuanzi said: "This is not the way of heaven. But after all, it is neither too much nor too little. The principle of the yin and yang of heaven and earth is that things will turn to the opposite when they reach their extremes. This is a mystery that is difficult to change at this time. However, the gods cannot maintain peace for a long time, which is also the weakness of heaven. However, it is difficult for me, a cultivator, to get involved. After all, the way of heaven has already been established. If I get involved, it will also bring about a lot of disasters.
You are here now only for the sake of your new disciple. God's will cannot be changed, and it is beyond our power to change!"
Although Zhen Yuanzi has the ability to reach the sky, he also evaded the question. This was not intentional on Zhen Yuanzi's part. It was just that the highly respected Zhen Yuanzi was also a Taoist master. This Taoist school emphasizes purity and freedom. Although Zhen Yuanzi was not highly valued by the heavens, he was still a rare Taoist master.
This immortal also saw through the heaven, although he had a lot of opinions in his heart. But he couldn't make a scene in the heaven like Sun Wukong did. Even though the monkey uprooted the ginseng fruit tree. In order to punish the monkey, he was also asked to search the holy land of the three realms to find the cure for the tree. However, that was also to let the world and the heaven know that the position of the earthly immortal was not to be cheated.
Now that this monkey has come to my door, I may really need to spend some time talking to him. Otherwise, I don't know what this monkey will do and what kind of earth-shattering incident he will cause. However, this is also what I want to say. I will just wait and see what he says.
Sun Wukong laughed non-stop and said to Zhenyuan Daxian: "You are pedantic, but you are also loyal to Taoism. The Dragon King of the East China Sea has been my neighbor for many years. The Tenth Prince Tiantai is also the god of justice. The old Dragon King was afraid of the turbidity of the way of heaven, so he locked up the prince.
But the heavens knew about it, and they didn't expect that the prince would break out of the cage and become an immortal in the world. Now he is fighting against heaven and earth to seek justice and fairness. Now he is soaring into the sky, how can I, the Fighting Buddha, not be excited. Moreover, my apprentice is also involved. It seems that I, Old Sun, can't change the will of the Fighting Buddha. "
After Sun Wukong finished speaking, he laughed and danced. Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi didn't know what kind of shock Sun Wukong had received. He seemed a little confused. After all, the matter of heaven's will and justice has now been messed up by the mystery of human hearts. Justice is no longer easy to find.
The old Dragon King was originally the embodiment of justice, but now he was harassed by the filth and even imprisoned his own son at home. It seems that the way of heaven also needs to go through a struggle, otherwise it will be difficult to return to peace. (To be continued)
