Chapter 364 Exchange a ginseng fruit for a relic
Tang Sanzang and his party walked for several months, slept in the wind and in the open, and suddenly saw a mountain blocking the road ahead.
From a distance, I saw the mountain emitting aura. The green trees were extremely tall, and it seemed to have arrived in a huge world. The chirping of the animals and the sound of the streams and waterfalls could be heard clearly from afar.
"What a fairyland outside the world, disciples, do you know where this place is?"
Tang Sanzang, who was riding on the white dragon horse, looked at the fairy mountain in the distance and couldn't help but reveal a hint of envy. He would like to become a Buddha and a ancestor in the future. He would like to enjoy this territory.
Sun Wukong's pair of fire eyes flashed with golden light. When he saw the rich spiritual energy, he couldn't help but blurted out: "Master, this fairy mountain is even better than Lao Sun's Flower and Fruit Mountain."
Sha Wujing also looked at the distance curiously. Only Zhu Bajie seemed depressed, but he looked at Sun Wukong with disdain, cursing in his heart that he could have any insights.
"We have experienced all the poor mountains and bad waters along the way, but the first time we encountered this fairyland, I believe there must be immortals living here."
Tang Sanzang also looked into the distance with no idea and sighed, while Zhu Bajie pretended to be confused, patted his belly and said with a smile: "Master, no matter what he is, don't we know when we go there? If there are really immortals living in it, we don't have to sleep in the wild and have a hot meal."
"You idiot, just thinking about eating, can you not miss your four fat guys?"
Sun Wukong said teasingly, and Zhu Bajie's face changed. He hurriedly swung his wide sleeves and said repeatedly: "Go, you, the monkey who is suffering from plague, said it has nothing to do with the old pig, they are because they are big and want the old pig to take over."
"Go away, don't mention this matter again in the future. Otherwise, if the Bodhisattva hears it, I can't ask for it. The tight hug on your head, hum."
Zhu Bajie also stared at the monkey threateningly, as if you said that you had done the imperial wine. If I can't escape, you think you are clean. Just keep silent and don't talk about it. If you are unlucky, no one can think of it.
"You stupid guy."
Sun Wukong was not stupid either. He muttered with a smile and scolding and did not mention this matter. After all, he was worried that the Bodhisattva would wear small shoes for them in the future, but it would be fine after so long.
But this mountain calls Wanshou Mountain, and there is a view in the mountain called Wuzhuang Temple.
The four masters and disciples of Tang Sanzang headed towards the Immortal Mountain. As they passed through countless strange and tall plants along the way, their eyes suddenly lit up. They saw a huge Taoist temple appearing in the immortal mountain under the distant fairy aura.
The white clouds and smoke were lingering, the cranes were singing high, and countless strange beasts were singing. More importantly, nothing was afraid of the stranger, but they all looked at the new creatures curiously.
The palace is extremely purple and purple, and the tower is misty and the danxia falls. There is a huge stone tablet on the left side of the mountain gate, with ten big characters on it, which is "The Blessed Land of Wanshou Mountain, Wuzhuang Guan Cave Heaven".
After Tang Sanzang and his group came here, they suddenly exclaimed in surprise. Just the scene outside, Sun Wukong stared at it. This place was several times better than his Huaguo Mountain. As the knowledgeable Zhu Bajie was even more shocked.
Although I had known where this place was, after seeing it with my own eyes, Zhu Bajie couldn't help but be shocked and said, "What a Wanshou Mountain, the temple of Zhenyuan Daxian is far more outrageous than the legendary one."
Zhu Bajie is not a monkey who is unaware of it. Sha Wujing has heard more and less. He is well-informed, but today it really shocked him.
"Okay, good fairy mountain, the disciples are all careful and polite."
Tang Sanzang even dismounted himself and took his disciples toward the Taoist temple. There was a pair of Spring Festival couplets on the two gates: The Immortal Palace of Immortality, and the Taoist family with Tianshou.
After seeing this couplet, Sun Wukong immediately showed a smile on his face and joked: "This Taoist priest is so terrifying. When I was making a big fuss about the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago, I never saw such words in the Tushita Palace of the Supreme Lord."
Although Sha Wujing didn't have much knowledge, he had heard a lot. At this time, he knew where this place was, but he was still silent and looked like an honest person.
But Zhu Bajie smiled and shook his head and said, "Brother Monkey, why do you care about this? Let's go in."
Tang Sanzang looked at his three apprentices and seemed to be very proud of his face now, but in fact, they still had their own little thoughts in their hearts, otherwise how could he not remind the monkey?
I saw Tang Sanzang showing a sudden enlightenment, "I remembered it, when I was in Jinshan Temple, I heard the name of Zhenyuanzi, the ancestor of the earth immortal."
When he said this, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but look at Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, and laughed and said, "Bajie, Wujing, have you both been officials in the Heavenly Court for countless years have you not heard of it?"
At this moment, Bajie suddenly laughed brilliantly. He never thought that his master had heard about the ancestor of the Earth Immortals. Sha Wujing nodded honestly and said, "Master, Wujing had heard of it when he was in the Heavenly Court, but he had never seen it with his own eyes."
"Haha, I, the old pig, trained the navy in Tianhe every day, and I don't know much about this."
Zhu Bajie's answer was a little vague, and Sun Wukong was so smart that his knowledge limited his vision. At this time, a golden light flashed in his eyes. When he looked at his two junior brothers, he had no past contempt, but instead felt a sense of solemnity.
The four masters and apprentices were all actors in the performance department. Sun Wukong smiled and joked: "Master, you are the one who tells you the matter of the ancestor of the Earth Immortals, so that the disciple can gain a better understanding, so as not to be laughed at in the future."
When he said this, Sun Wukong looked at Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing with deep meaning. Bajie looked like he didn't see it, while Sha Wujing laughed like an honest man: "If you want to hear it, if you are idle on the road in the future, I will tell you some rumors in the heaven."
"Hehe, okay, it's better for Junior Brother Sha."
Looking at the three apprentices playing, Tang Sanzang smiled and shook his head, looking at Wuzhuangguan and walked up step by step.
At this time, the gate of Wuzhuang Temple slowly opened and two Taoist boys walked out and smiled at the person coming and said, "The holy monk has lost his greeting."
These two beautiful Taoist boys were Qingfeng and Mingyue. At this time, they greeted each other with a smile on their faces. Tang Sanzang couldn't help but smile and said, "Two fairy boys, I am polite."
"Hehe, the Holy Monk is polite. My master has long been here to come today, so I'm especially waiting for me."
Qingfeng Mingyue and his two men politely greeted Tang Sanzang and his disciples with smiles on their faces. After they were invited to enter the main hall, they saw the two characters "Heaven and Earth" decorated with colorful words hung in the middle, with a vermilion-shaped incense table with a golden furnace bottle on the table, and the green smoke lingered by the fire.
After seeing this scene, Sun Wukong suddenly looked left and right with curiosity, and even asked with a laugh: "Two fairy children, these Wuzhuang Temples are really the Western fairy world? Why not offer to the Three Pure Land, the Four Emperors, and the Luotian priests, and only serve the incense of the word "Heaven and Earth"?"
After hearing this, the two Taoist boys looked at each other and smiled, "It's not that my teacher doesn't offer it, but they can't stand our incense."
Good guy, after hearing this, Sun Wukong was a hundred people disbelief, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile: "Is the fairy boy a little bit loud?"
Qingfeng smiled proudly and bowed to Jiutianyi and said, "Sanqing is a friend of the family master, the four emperors are old friends of the family master, Jiu Yao is a junior of the family master, and Yuanchen is the guest of the family master."
Mingyue nodded with a smile, and said with a look of pride on her face: "The Buddha of the Mahayana Buddhism in the Nanzhanbu Continent, the Buddha's mother, the Peacock King, are all juniors of the family masters, and the ancient Buddha of Lanlan and the Buddha-headed Emperor Tathagata are just fellowships with the family masters."
"The Buddha of Duobao Tathagata in the West is also a junior of the family master. Do you think they can bear the incense of our Wuzhuang Temple?"
Qingfeng and Mingyue sang together, and Sun Wukong suddenly opened his eyes widened. At this moment, his mind was buzzing, and then he shook his head repeatedly. He really didn't believe they could meet such a person.
However, at this time, Tang Sanzang smiled and nodded, "Yes, I have heard of the great name of Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the earth immortals. He is a powerful person who is in the same generation as the saints. Even the Buddha of the Western Heaven Tathagata is a junior, so this cannot be false."
Seeing that even his mortal master knew this, Sun Wukong suddenly looked surprised and jumped to his master curiously, and asked curiously: "Master, what kind of person is this ancestor of the earth immortal?"
It’s not that Sun Wukong didn’t know it, but because he had too little knowledge, Tang Sanzang smiled and nodded, “This great immortal Zhenyuanzi, the ancestor of the earth immortal, is a powerful man in the world, and is the same as the saints of the Three Pure Heavens. No one in the sky dares to receive the incense of Wuzhuang Temple.”
At this moment, Sun Wukong was stunned. Looking at the smile on his master's face, it was obvious that he knew the existence of the Earth Immortal Ancestor, as well as the appearance of Bajie and Junior Brother Sha. At this moment, he seemed to have become the short-sighted existence, which made him feel a little embarrassed for a moment.
"I dare to ask where the Great Immortal Zhenyuan is?" At this time, Tang Sanzang also saw the monkey's embarrassment and couldn't help but smile and asked the two fairy children and changed the topic.
After hearing this, Qingfeng Mingyue suddenly showed a proud look and nodded: "The master of the family has been invited to the Chaos and listened to the saint explaining the 'Huanyuan Dao Fruit' and is not at home."
"But before leaving, the master of the family decided that the Holy Monk would visit today, so he specially asked us to entertain the Holy Monk with good life."
After hearing this, Tang Sanzang smiled and clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, thank you so much for the two fairy boys."
Ertong went down politely with a smile on his face. When he returned to the room, one picked up the gold slap, the other held a elixir plate, and then placed the silk slap on the bottom of the plate, and went straight toward the ginseng garden behind the Taoist temple.
Auspicious clouds rose under Qingfeng's feet and slowly floated on the tall ginseng fruit tree. The golden hit in his palm gently knocked it, and the ginseng fruit fell. The bright moon below was full of joy and held the elixir plate under the tree with both hands waiting for it.
In a moment, a ginseng fruit came down and was taken into the plate. The two looked at each other and laughed towards the front hall. At this time, Tang Sanzang was also tasting tea to visit the Wuzhuang Temple.
"Master Tang, there are no mortal things in my Wuzhuang Temple, so I offer food to the mortal world, and a piece of earthly ritual fruit to quench my thirst."
Qingfeng and Mingyue respectfully held the elixir plate, and saw a child who was not yet full of inspiration on the plate. It was even more terrifying to look at the past. Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing stared at each other and exclaimed in their hearts, saying, "This is a treasure they have only heard of."
Sun Wukong's pair of fiery eyes and golden eyes flashed even more. Although he didn't understand what kind of fruit this was, the spiritual energy soared into the sky was even richer than the peaches he had eaten in the Peach Garden, and even more so than the golden elixir in the Tushita Palace.
When Tang Sanzang saw this spiritual fruit, he immediately smiled happily, and his big mouth made him smile to the ears. He clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, two fairy boys."
Tang Sanzang gently raised the spirit fruit with his hands. Although he couldn't see anything, he nodded with a red face with a smile and said, "I have heard that the four continents in the world are only the Wuzhuang Temple in Xiniu Hezhou, which is even more inferior to the peaches in the heavenly court."
"It is rumored that this ginseng fruit tree blooms every three thousand years and bears every three thousand years. It only takes three thousand years to ripen for ten thousand years. It can only be eaten for ten thousand years. It looks like a child who has not yet completed three dynasties. It looks like a child who has not yet completed three dynasties, with all limbs and five senses. If a person is destined to have the fruit, he will live 360 years old. If he eats one, he will live forty years.
After Tang Sanzang explained this, Sun Wukong suddenly widened his eyes. Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing looked at their master in shock. He never thought that their cheap master would know this secret.
Tang Sanzang, who looked at the ginseng fruit carefully, nodded with satisfaction, "I guess this fruit is that ginseng fruit?"
At this time, Tang Sanzang's eyes looked at the two boys Qingfeng Mingyue. After seeing this, the two boys showed a proud look and nodded, "Yes, it's ginseng fruit."
After hearing this, Tang San hid under Zhu Bajie's envious gaze. He looked at the fruit in his hand with a bright look. He put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it deeply. Suddenly, a fragrance penetrated into his heart, and a stream of spiritual energy began to fill his body. Then he opened his mouth and heard a crisp sound in Zhu Bajie's staring eyes.
Crack, juice splashed in his mouth, and Tang Sanzang squinted his eyes and chewed it back to his taste. It was really fragrant with his lips and teeth. Then he didn't seem to see Zhu Bajie's eyes, and even raised his hand to cover his face with a cassock, and instantly cracked.
After a few mouthfuls, a ginseng fruit was eaten. In the eyes of no one, Tang Sanzang even licked the juice remaining in his palm.
At this moment, people in Wuzhuang Temple did not notice it, but at this moment, in a temple in chaos, Tang Sanzang swallowed a little juice and couldn't bear to let go, but clearly fell into the eyes of the three of them.
It was Zhen Yuanzi, Zhunti and Jie Yin. Jie Yin lowered his head awkwardly at this time. The person who went to the scriptures seemed a little embarrassed, but Zhunti nodded with satisfaction. Is this right? Good things cannot be wasted.
However, Zhen Yuanzi's eyes twitched. What a guy, this food look exactly like Hongyun, and it was really not a waste.
After seeing Tang Sanzang finish eating the fruit, Zhen Yuanzi sighed and turned his head. At this time, he looked at Zhunti and laughed: "Sage Zhunti, this person who obtained the scriptures ate a ginseng fruit."
Looking at Zhen Yuanzi's expression, Junti nodded with a smile and said, "Do not worry, fellow Zhen Yuanzi, one fruit and one relic."
Nowadays, Zhen Yuanzi is not something they can control at will, so this ginseng fruit is not for nothing. It is also because the journey is long, and Tang Sanzang's naked eyes are unavoidable for birth, old age, sickness and death. After all, the four continents are much larger than in the original work.
To put it bluntly, ginseng fruit is the benefit the West has given Tang Sanzang, but Zhen Yuanzi will not give it in vain, and exchange it for a relic with another ginseng fruit.
