Summary:
It is said that the four masters and disciples of Tang Monk came to Wuzhuang Temple in Wanshou Mountain. At that time, Zhen Yuanzi, the master of the temple, went to Yuanshi Tianzun to listen to the sermon and listen to the Dharma. He had already asked his disciples Qingfeng and Mingyue to entertain the eminent monks from the East with ginseng fruits. This ginseng fruit is a rare delicacy in the world. One bite can prolong your life and make you immortal. However, Tang Monk saw that the ginseng fruit was in the shape of a baby and refused to eat it, which made Qingfeng Mingyue laugh. Zhu Bajie coveted the delicious taste of ginseng fruit, so he encouraged his senior brother Sun Wukong to enter the garden and steal it. This move caused a dispute between Qingfeng, Mingyue, and the Tang Monk's apprentices. Sun Wukong became so angry that he even broke the ginseng fruit tree, which caused a series of disasters.
This film is adapted from a story in Journey to the West, one of the four classic Chinese classics, and won the Special Award at the Second Manila International Film Festival in the Philippines in 1983.

Zhenyuanzi has extraordinary strength and holds ginseng fruit. Why can he only be an earthly immortal?
Zhenyuanzi has extraordinary strength and holds ginseng fruit. Why can he only be an earthly immortal?
Zhenyuanzi is a rare free man in the Journey to the West. He holds ginseng fruit in his hand. He doesn’t need to work for the Queen Mother of the West. The only drawback is that he is always an earthly immortal and can’t go further.
Some people say that Zhenyuanzi only knows to live by ginseng fruit. He is an embroidered pillow and has no ability.
If so, Zhenyuanzi is really wronged, because…

Can you tell me who are the sworn brothers of Erlang and Sun Wukong? Maybe Nezha too and Bull Demon King please 🤔
I’m not sure if Nezha has sworn brother honestly… he just has real brothers. At least that I know of.
Jinzha 金吒
Muzha 木吒
Wukong does have a LOT, pilgrims not included even if those are his junior brothers in Buddhism.
Bull Demon King 牛魔王
Peng Demon King 鵬魔王
Dragon Flood Demon King 蛟魔王
Snub Nose Monkey Demon King 禺狨王
Spiritual Macaque Demon King 獼猴王
Lion Demon King 獅駝王
Immortal Zhenyuanzi (became sworn in the journey) 鎮元大仙
Erlang has his 6 plum brothers!! (and Wukong)
Kang Anyu 康安裕
Zhang Boshi 张伯时
Li Huanzhang 李焕章
Yao Gonglin 姚公麟
Guo Shen 郭申
Naoken 直健
Sun Wukong (became sworn in their fight) 孙悟空
Bull Demon King is similar to Wukong's list just without Immortal Zhenyanzi. And actually he has a REAL brother that is Immortal Ruyi 如意真仙 who guards the abortion water.

Zhenyuanzi is not afraid of Tathagata. Why is he respectful to Guanyin?
Zhenyuanzi is not afraid of Tathagata. Why is he respectful to Guanyin?
Zhenyuanzi should be a relatively free immortal in the three realms. His base camp is Wuzhuang Guan. He guards a ginseng fruit tree. The gods respect him. The monsters are afraid of him. Even Guanyin has to weigh his identity. However, Zhenyuanzi is not afraid of Tathagata, but he is respectful to Guanyin.
Before Tang Monk and disciples arrived at Wuzhuang Guan, Zhenyuanzi had already taken the…
