Text: Chuan'er from the Water Town

When Sun Wukong went to steal the ginseng fruit, because he didn't know the principle of the ginseng fruit, he The first one fell into the soil, thinking that it was taken away by the soil, so he took the soil out of the soil. The soil told the traveler the principle of fearing the five elements of ginseng fruit, and Sun Wukong successfully knocked down three of them.

But Sun Wukong has a saying that the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Sun Wukong said that if the tree grows here, the birds flying in the sky may come to share one of the fruits. How dare you come to steal the fruit from this land.

This sentence may not sound strange on the surface, but it’s scary when you think about it carefully.

We might as well ask two questions: 1. There are so many animals in Wanshou Mountain, why don’t the birds come to eat ginseng fruits?

2. As the lowest-level immortal in the world of Journey to the West, Tu Tu can’t be promoted for a long time. If he can’t eat flat peaches and golden elixirs, he can’t survive the catastrophe. Does Tu Tu not want to steal personal ginseng fruits?

Let’s answer the first question first, why don’t birds eat ginseng fruits?

Let’s take a look at what’s east of Wuzhuang Temple? It's the Liusha River. Birds from the east basically stop eating after flying over the Liusha River and cannot fly over. They can only eat fruits at the place where the Four Saints test their Zen hearts.

To the west is Baihu Ridge, which is feared by birds and beasts. It can be said to be full of evil spirits. Birds flying over are either eaten or go to the south to eat peaches. In addition, the ginseng fruit has the effect of allowing passing birds to cultivate immortality. Zhen Yuanzi must have thought of a preventive method, so there is no problem that the ginseng fruit will be eaten by passing birds.

We know that Zhen Yuanzi is nicknamed the Ancestor of the Earth Immortals. Now it seems that he has no establishment. No, in fact, Zhen Yuanzi does have an establishment.

First of all, Zhen Yuanzi can participate in the peach party and exchange ginseng fruits for flat peaches, but who are the people participating in the peach party? Five Elders from Five Directions, Five Dou Xingjun, Sanqing, Four Emperors, Taiyi Celestial Immortals in the upper eight caves, Jade Emperor, Jiulei, Haiyue Immortals in the middle eight caves, Nether Cult leader and Earth Immortal of Zhushi in the lower eight caves. Every palace and hall has its own gods.

What is written on the stone tablet in front of Wuzhuang Temple? Wanshou Mountain is a blessed land, with Wuzhuang overlooking the cave sky. And what is written in the Water Curtain Cave in Huaguo Mountain? The blessed land of Huaguo Mountain, the water curtain cave and the heaven.

Let’s look at the location of Shuiliandong. After getting off the Shiban Bridge, you can go to the East China Sea, one of the obvious lower eight holes.

It turns out that although Zhen Yuanzi was enshrined in Longevity Mountain, he was still one of the immortals under the Netherworld Cult Lord, alongside the Three Immortals of Fortune, Luxury and Longevity.

So when Sun Wukong looked for a way to save the ginseng fruit tree, he found the Three Immortals of Fortune, Luxury and Shou, Emperor Donghua and his apprentice Dongfang Shuo, and the Nine Elders of Yingzhou. Just like Tathagata, nominally from the Buddhist sect, the organization is still the Five Directions and Five Elders of Taoism.

To go a long way, as we said before, although the effect of ginseng fruit is not as good as that of flat peach, it can still survive the catastrophe, so why doesn’t the land eat it secretly?

There is only one possibility. The land here is relatively good, and he has peaches to eat.

Because Zhen Yuanzi has ginseng fruit that can extend life, cultivate immortality and control immortals, and has high magical power, he will undoubtedly be considered a potential threat by the Jade Emperor, so they sent a mountain god to watch over Zhen Yuanzi. See if ginseng fruit will be mass-produced and how many disciples Zhen Yuanzi has. If there is any abnormality, report it immediately and eliminate it immediately.

So Zhen Yuanzi was also afraid. He only had 30 apprentices and only one ginseng fruit tree.
