The teenager in "The Bright Moon in the Breeze" is older than the Monkey King, but why can't he become an immortal?

Because the breeze and the bright moon have no ability to become immortals, they just live a little longer, relying on ginseng fruit for so long. Longevity depends on ability and external opportunities. They have nothing.

First, old boys has a clear breeze and bright moon

Is there a clear record in The Journey to the West? Qingfeng 1320 years old, Mingyue 1200 years old? , the two men's age is definitely bigger than the Monkey King, according to the age the Monkey King call them big ye too much.

So why did the breeze and bright moon live so long? Because the two of them are guarding a ginseng fruit tree that makes people live longer. Even if you don't eat ginseng fruit, it will last 360 years when you smell it. When the fruit is ripe, it's good to smell the cool breeze and bright moon under the tree. Living for 3000 years or 5000 years is not a problem. What's more, the two of them ate ginseng fruit that Tang Priest didn't eat, and their age increased by 47 thousand years.

Second, being immortal must have the ability and opportunity.

The Monkey King, from birth to study, and then to become a great sage in the sky, has already gone through hardships and has the qualification to become an immortal. Later, the Monkey King ate the big flat peach of the Queen Mother, so that he could live with heaven and earth and become a real immortal.

So what has the breeze and bright moon experienced? Are they on the road to eternal life? Qingfeng Yueming was Zhenyuanzi's boy from a very young age, and they were still Zhenyuanzi's boys after 1000 years. They have never changed and have been enjoying a comfortable and happy life.

The breeze and the bright moon have no ability to become immortals, plus they are already teenagers of Zhenyuan childe. They are like frogs at the bottom of a well, only seeing the sky above the yard. They don't know how big the outside world is, and they can't adapt to it.

When Tang Priest and his disciples visited their home, they looked down on Jin Chan, the Monkey King, Marshal of Heaven, General Confinement, Little White Dragon and so on. They don't know. They even talk crazy. How can such a person become an immortal? I don't think this will happen in the celestial world.
