Jiang Sheng searched eastward along the journey to the west, and soon found traces of Monk Tang and his four masters and disciples in a mountain range.
Jiang Sheng raised his head and looked around, taking in all the scenes within a hundred miles in his eyes. When he saw the stone tablet with the words 'Longevity Mountain' engraved on it ten miles ahead, he couldn't help but thought to himself: "
It’s better to come early than to come by chance, it seems I’m really lucky.”
There is a Taoist temple on Wanshou Mountain called "Wuzhuang Temple", and the owner of this Wuzhuang Temple is Zhen Yuanzi, who has the title of "Ancestor of Earth Immortals".
The reason why Yuanzi of this town was awarded the title of 'Ancestor of Earth Immortals' must start with the teachings of Taoist Hongjun.
After Taoist ancestor Hongjun became a saint, he specially preached in the Zixiao Palace thirty-three days away. Many powerful creatures in the ancient world went there, including Sanqing, Twelve Ancestral Witches, Nuwa, Kunpeng, Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi.
These powerful creatures.
There are six futons at the front of the Zixiao Palace, each of which contains a beam of Hongmeng Purple Qi. If you occupy this seat, you will have the opportunity to be promoted to the status of a saint.
Since Sanqing is the incarnation of the Great God Pangu, he was accepted as a disciple by Patriarch Hongjun, and firmly occupies the first three seats. Taishang Laojun is the senior brother, Yuanshi Tianzun is the second senior brother, and Master Tongtian is the junior brother. And the rest.
The three seats were occupied by Kunpeng, Zhen Yuanzi and Ancestor Hongyun first.
But before Zhen Yuanzi and the others could get their butts warm, Jie Yin and Zhunti rushed to the Zixiao Palace. When they found that all six seats were occupied, they began to cry shamelessly.
She burst into tears and said that she was devoted to the Tao and did not want to miss the opportunity.
The good old Ancestor Hongyun was so sad when he saw Jie Yin and Zhunti crying. In addition, he didn't know that this seat would be related to his chance of becoming a saint in the future, so he gave up his seat to Zhunti.
After Zhunti occupied the seat, he joined forces with others to force Kunpeng to give up his seat, saying that he was a man with hair and horns and was not worthy of the seat. In the end, Kunpeng had no choice but to give up his seat.
Nuwa also came late, but Zhen Yuanzi saw that she was a woman, so he took the initiative to give up the seat to Nuwa.
In the end, Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Cult Master, Nuwa Empress, Jieyin Taoist and Zhunti Taoist, the six of them became the six disciples of Hongjun Ancestor. After absorbing the Hongmeng Purple Qi, the six of them were promoted to sainthood.
.
Because Zhen Yuanzi gave up his seat to Nuwa, Nuwa had the opportunity to become a saint. In order to thank Zhen Yuanzi for his kindness, she gave him the book of the earth and the ginseng fruit tree, making him a saint.
The ancestor of immortals.
Although Zhen Yuanzi was not able to become a saint, after all, he was a figure of the same era as Nuwa and the others, and now his cultivation has reached the level of a quasi-sage. Even the Tathagata Buddha must be courteous to him.
If the original plot develops, Sun Wukong will still push down the ginseng fruit tree in anger, and the four masters and disciples will be caught by Zhen Yuanzi. In the end, Guanyin Bodhisattva will save the ginseng fruit tree before the whole thing is over.
But if Jiang Sheng took advantage of Sun Wukong to steal the ginseng fruit and directly stole the entire ginseng fruit tree, Zhen Yuanzi might not let go of Tang Monk and his four masters and disciples so easily.
Zhen Yuanzi was so angry that even if he couldn't completely ruin his journey to the West, it would still be enough to give Tathagata Buddha and his companions a headache.
…
Normally Zhen Yuanzi would sit in Wuzhuang Temple. If Jiang Sheng wanted to steal the ginseng fruit tree under his nose, it would be unrealistic at all.
But maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe it was because Zhen Yuanzi deliberately cooperated with Buddhists and wanted to add another difficulty to Tang Monk and his disciples.
When Tang Monk and others rushed to Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi happened to take forty-six of his disciples to listen to the sermon of Yuanshi Tianzun in the Miluo Palace of Shangqing Heaven, leaving only the two youngest disciples to guard him.
Wuzhuang Temple.
Without Zhen Yuanzi, a quasi-sage, in charge, with Jiang Sheng's strength, it would be easy to sneak into Wuzhuang Temple and steal the ginseng fruit.
Jiang Sheng took advantage of the two Taoist boys Qingfeng and Mingyue to entertain Tang Monk and the others, and he secretly walked towards the ginseng orchard.
When Jiang Sheng rushed outside the ginseng orchard, a hint of amusement flashed through his eyes and said, "Zhen Yuanzi, you are really acting!"
You must know that this ginseng fruit tree can be said to be the lifeblood of Zhen Yuanzi, but in the original work, it was so easily overthrown by Sun Wukong. There was not even any defensive measures in the garden. Zhen Yuanzi must have been too careless!
But now, under Jiang Sheng's careful investigation, he discovered that the outside of the ginseng orchard was not completely defenseless, but that all the prohibitive barriers had been closed.
Under normal circumstances, if Zhen Yuanzi left Wuzhuang Temple, he would definitely impose restrictions on the outside of the ginseng orchard, but now he has turned off these restrictions, clearly deliberately allowing Sun Wukong to steal ginseng fruits.
opportunity.
In the original work, Zhen Yuanzi once said that Jin Chanzi is his old friend, which means that he is likely to have friendship with Western Buddhist people. In this case, it is normal for him to be willing to cooperate with Buddhist people in a play.
.
Jiang Sheng hesitated for a while, and was not in a hurry to steal the ginseng fruit tree now. Because if he stole the ginseng fruit tree now, it would be difficult to blame Sun Wukong and the others, so he had to wait until Sun Wukong took action first, and then he would
It's not too late to take action.
…
On the other side, Qingfeng and Mingyue followed Zhen Yuanzi's instructions when they left, and went to the ginseng orchard to knock down two ginseng fruits, and then brought them to Tang Monk for him to enjoy.
It's a pity that Tang Seng is just a mortal now. When he saw the ginseng fruit, he was just like a newborn baby. He dared not eat the ginseng fruit. In the end, Qingfeng Mingyue secretly enjoyed it one by one in order not to waste it.
But what Qingfeng and Mingyue didn't know was that their conversation with Tang Seng was overheard by Zhu Bajie.
Although Zhu Bajie looks unattractive, he was the Tianpeng Marshal of Heaven in his previous life. He had already heard of the name of ginseng fruit. Now that he heard that there was ginseng fruit in Wuzhuang Temple, he naturally couldn't help but want to try it.
In fact, with Zhu Bajie's knowledge, he naturally knew that Wuzhuang Temple was Zhen Yuanzi's dojo. He also understood how terrifying the strength of a quasi-sage like Zhen Yuanzi was?
But Zhu Bajie was not afraid that Zhen Yuanzi would be angry afterwards, because he knew that no matter how much trouble they caused while escorting Monk Tang to the West to obtain scriptures, Buddhist people would help them wipe their butts.
The reason why Zhu Bajie was demoted to the mortal world by the Jade Emperor was that he molested Chang'e while drunk, but in fact it was just a bitter trick played by the Jade Emperor on him!
