There is also a widely circulated story about the legend of Laozi riding a green cow, that is, Laozi riding a green cow went through customs and disappeared, which is still a mystery. After the Han Dynasty, because Laozi was revered as the ancestor of Taoism, his status soared, and his mount naturally ascended to heaven and became a god beast.
Some people say that the mount leader is the Monkey King's sworn brother Niu, but this is just groundless speculation. Tian Tong is an original figure in The Romance of Gods, and has nothing to do with The Journey to the West. According to Shan Hai Jing, a real cow is a monster, in charge of lightning. When a real cow appears, it will be accompanied by wind and rain. Light is like the sun and the moon, and sound is like thunder. The real cow in Shan Hai Jing has only one foot and lives in the deep sea. Appears every three thousand years. Later, the Yellow Emperor got a real bull, made a war drum from its skin and a drumstick from its bones. Drums can be heard 500 miles away. The Yellow Emperor shocked the world by making drums out of real cows.
Master Tian Tong was originally one of the makers of the list of gods. Many people know that his disciples are famous on the list of gods (that is, people who are dying). However, because his disciples were tempted by Shen, a traitor who explained the teachings, to confront Jiang Ziya, they were constantly killed. In addition, Xianxian and Yuanshi Tianzun slandered and laughed at the interception of teaching, and the leader Tian Tong finally couldn't bear it, and took part in the struggle to help his disciples vent their anger. The "Fairy Array" in jiepai will confront the original Buddha and the old gentleman, but it is defeated by the joint attack of the four major religious leaders. Later, the leader of Tian Tong led his disciples to set up a "Wanxian Array" to fight again. Unfortunately, Ding Guangxian, the long-eared defector, finally stole the magic weapon, which led to a great defeat.
