The immortals in the Journey to the West world are divided into categories and levels, for example, the immortal cultivators of the Three Realms are divided into heavenly immortals, immortals, earth immortals, human immortals, and ghost immortals, and their levels are different and their abilities are also different. Sun Wukong is a kind of heavenly immortals, the birthday star in the three stars is the genus of immortals, Zhen Yuanzi is the ancestor of the earth immortals, Wei Zheng is the representative of the human immortals, and the land of the mountain gods is the flow of ghosts and immortals. The above classifications are divided according to ranks, and there is another big classification of immortal cultivators in the Journey to the West World is Da Luo Immortal and Taiyi Immortal.
There are two main representatives of the Great Luo Immortal mentioned in the Journey to the West, one is Marshal Tianpeng and the other is the barefoot Great Immortal. Marshal Tianpeng is Zhu Bajie's previous life, Marshal Tianpeng was deprived of his official title in the heavenly court by the Jade Emperor because of his trouble, and he was demoted to the world. He accidentally threw himself into the wrong fetus, so he became a wild pig spirit. Marshal Tianpeng, the predecessor of Zhu Bajie, is not a demon clan, he is a serious human race immortal cultivator. At that time, he was enlightened by his teacher, changed his past mistakes, and devoted himself to cultivation, and finally achieved something. When Zhu Bajie recalled his experience in his previous life, he said: "Because I have cultivated into a Da Luo Immortal, I will raise an immortal guest for me." The marshal was crowned with a canopy, and he was given the nailing palladium as the royal festival. ”
The result of Zhu Bajie's practice in his previous life was to achieve Da Luo Xian, and after Fei ** Ting, he was reused by the Jade Emperor and became the Marshal of Tianpeng, and at the same time, the Jade Emperor also gave him the divine soldier nail rake built by Taishang Laojun as a weapon. After Sun Wukong settled the Seven Fairies in Pan Tao Garden, he planned to go to the Yaochi Pan Tao Club to have a look, but he first met the barefoot Daxian, and the barefoot Daxian described in the book is like this: "The god dances the rainbow and the Hanxiao, and the waist hangs the treasure record without life and death." Name: Barefoot Da Luo Xian, specially go to the Pan Tao Tianshou Festival. "It is important to mention here that the classification of barefoot immortals is Da Luo Xian.
Taiyi Immortal is another type of immortal in the Journey to the West, and the main representative mentioned is Sun Wukong. When Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, Mu Zha, under the seat of Guanyin, also participated in the siege of Sun Wukong, and when the two fought, the book said: "Although the stick is different from the stick and iron, the soldiers are different." One is Taiyi Sanxian Hu Dasheng, and the other is Guanyin's apprentice Zhengyuan Long. Both of them used sticks as weapons, but Muzha was ultimately defeated by Sun Wukong. When Sun Wukong is mentioned here, he is called Taiyi Sanxian, and the title Da Luo has not been used on Sun Wukong. The eldest prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea said to the cousin of Tang Seng who had caught Tang Seng in Heishui River
It turns out that you don't know! He also has a big apprentice, who is the great sage of Taiyi Golden Immortal Qitian above the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago, and now protects Tang Seng to worship Buddha in the west to seek scriptures. ”
The name of Sun Wukong here is Taiyi Golden Immortal, and there should be some differences between Golden Immortal and Scattered Immortal, but the big classification is still Taiyi Immortal. The Mandarin Po of Tongtian River said to the King of Inspiration: "When I was in the East Ocean Sea, I heard that the old Dragon King said that his reputation was that he was the Monkey King who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago, and now he has converted to Buddhism, and the monk of the Tang Dynasty went to the West to learn scriptures, and changed his name to be the Monkey King Walker. She also called Sun Wukong Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Journey to the West also mentions two characters related to Taiyi Immortals, who are the golden-nosed white-haired mouse spirit and the jade rabbit of Guanghan Palace. The golden-nosed white-haired rat spirit tied herself to a tree before pretending to be weak and deceived Tang Seng, and her mental activities at that time exposed her inner purpose: "That Tang Seng is a child cultivator, a little Yuan Yang has not been leaked, and he is trying to cooperate with him, becoming a Taiyi Golden Immortal, but I don't know that this monkey has broken through my law and rescued him." "The purpose of the golden-nosed white-haired rat spirit is to double cultivate with Tang Seng, and use Tang Seng's Yuanyang to help him achieve Taiyi Golden Immortal. At this time, she is not a Taiyi Golden Immortal, if the goal is achieved, she can become a Taiyi Golden Immortal like Sun Wukong.
The Jade Rabbit Spirit is from the Guanghan Palace, and in addition to taking revenge on Chang'e's hatred, she also has her own other plans. She knew that Tang Seng was here this year, this month, and today, pretending to be rich in the country, and set up a colorful building, wanting to recruit Tang Seng as a son-in-law, adopt Yuanyang True Qi, and achieve Taiyi Shangxian. Jade Rabbit wants to become Taiyi Shangxian, what is the big difference between Taiyi Shangxian and Taiyi Golden Immortal is not mentioned in the book, but they all belong to the big classification of Taiyi Immortal. The Jade Rabbit Essence and the Golden-nosed White-haired Mouse Essence both have to use the method of double cultivation to achieve advancement, and both of them are still demon clans, and Sun Wukong is also a demon clan, so Taiyi Immortal is likely to be related to the demon clan. And Zhu Bajie's previous life, Da Luo Xian, was cultivated by the human race, and it is not clear whether the barefoot Da Luo Immortal is a human race or a demon race.
In folklore, Da Luo Immortal was cultivated by the human race, and Taiyi Immortal was cultivated by the demon race, which is basically consistent from the perspective of Da Luo Immortal and Taiyi Immortal in Journey to the West. The three demon clans of Sun Wukong, the golden-nosed white-haired mouse spirit and the jade rabbit spirit are all known as Taiyi immortals; Zhu Bajie was a personal race in his previous life, and he was called Da Luo Xian; The barefoot Great Immortal is also very likely to be a human race, so the Great Luo Immortal of the Journey to the West World should also be cultivated by the human race. The demon clan's Taiyi Immortal cultivation path may be more, and dual cultivation is also an important way, and Da Luo Immortal may have more restrictions.
