Cheng Long has experienced many worlds, but has never dealt with Zhen Yuanzi face to face. However, the two little boys Qingfeng and Mingyue from Wuzhuang Temple can be recognized by anyone who has seen Journey to the West.
But the meeting and greeting tasks are usually done by Tang Seng.
So, he didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at Tang Seng.
Tang Sanzang smiled slightly, put his hands together and said to Qingfeng Mingyue, "My two immortals, we are passing through your temple. Can you give us some tea and food so that we can rest for a while?"
"Could the elder be the great Tang monk Xuanzang who went to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures?"
Qingfeng looked him up and down and asked proactively.
Don't think that the other party is weak just because they look like half-grown children.
Qingfeng Mingyue had been enlightened by Zhen Yuanzi long before the battle between demons and witches, and had served him for countless years. Although he had never blossomed the three flowers on his head due to his own aptitude, he had practiced for several kalpas, and his foundation in the Taiyi Realm was extremely solid. If he were released, he would surely be able to dominate a region.
In Wuzhuang Temple they are two boys. If they leave Wuzhuang Temple, they must be respectfully addressed as "Ancestor Qingfeng" and "Ancestor Mingyue"!
After all, both of them have reached the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation, which is much stronger than Bajie. I'm afraid Sha Seng and Xiao Bailong will be defeated in just a few moves.
Of course, Cheng Long is definitely not included here.
With his strength, no matter where he is, Qingfeng Mingyue has to respectfully call him the Great Sage, and he is as obedient as a child.
"It's the poor monk."
Tang Seng bowed with a very humble attitude.
Qingfeng Mingyue just looks like a child. In terms of temperament, even the most outstanding prince in the imperial family cannot catch up with him in flattery.
Tang Seng is not a man without vision, so how could he be so arrogant in front of the breeze and the bright moon?
"Since you are the elders and their group, please follow us."
With the instructions from the immortal Zhen Yuanzi before he left, Qingfeng and Mingyue confirmed the identities of the group of people and naturally opened the door to invite Cheng Long and others in.
Wuzhuang Temple may look inconspicuous from the outside, but this is just an appearance.
When the door is closed, no one can get in easily without permission, let alone the Golden Immortal, even the Bodhisattvas in the middle stage of Quasi-Saint such as Guanyin, Manjusri and Samantabhadra.
Wuzhuang Temple has a mountain protection formation with the Book of Earth as its core. Even if Zhen Yuanzi is not in the temple, basically no one can break it.
Of course, the main reason is that those who are capable don't dare to force their way in, for fear of accidentally destroying a certain vein of earth and being contaminated by a great cause and effect. Those whose cultivation is lower than Zhen Yuanzi's cannot break it.
This is not just a matter of a brilliant formation, but it has kidnapped the entire world of Journey to the West. Even a saint would have to think twice.
If Feng Mingyue didn't open the door, with the mountain protection formation in place, it would be impossible for Tang Seng and his companions to enter.
This is also true for Cheng Long.
After entering Wuzhuang Temple, Cheng Long did not release his spiritual sense to check for the existence of the ginseng fruit tree. A spiritual root of heaven and earth like this one could definitely not be easily pushed down by Wukong as shown in movies and TV dramas.
If nothing unexpected happens, the ginseng fruit tree pushed in the play is most likely a fake, otherwise it cannot be saved by a few drops of Guanyin's Three Lights Divine Water.
"Guests who have come from afar, please stay here tonight!"
Qingfeng Mingyue led Cheng Long and his party into a side hall, which had several rooms. The living room was very large, enough to accommodate several Buddha statues.
Tang Monk, who had not been able to calm down and recite scriptures for a long time, immediately put on his robes, took out the wooden fish, and began his daily routine, while Bajie and Sha Monk were packing their luggage in the house.
The White Dragon Horse continued its role-playing, staying obediently under the tree in front of the house.
"Mingyue, the master clearly knows that there is more than one guest, but he wants us to give two ginseng fruits to Elder Tang and none to others. Isn't he trying to cause a conflict between them?"
On the way to the backyard, Qingfeng couldn't help but complain.
It's obvious that Sun Wukong is a great man, much more worthy of being won over than Tang Monk, but their master doesn't give him ginseng fruit, so now they don't know how to deliver the ginseng fruit when they get it.
How could Tang Monk, a mortal being, enjoy two ginseng fruits at once? However, Sun Wukong, whose cultivation was unfathomable, could not get any.
Even he couldn't help but speak up for Sun Wukong!
"Why bother with all this? We'll just do whatever the master tells us to do! If Elder Tang doesn't dare to eat it later, we'll each have one."
Mingyue hasn't eaten ginseng fruit for a long time.
He and Qingfeng's aptitude is too poor, and their cultivation is stuck at the Taiyi realm and they have been unable to break through. No matter how much they eat, it will be a waste. The output of ginseng fruit is small, so Zhen Yuanzi needs to set aside a large portion as a favor and keep the rest for backup.
They were just boys, so naturally they had no right to enjoy any of the reserved ginseng fruits.
"That's true. I hope that monk is an honest monk!"
"Stop talking, I'm drooling."
Qingfeng and Mingyue took the golden hammers and walked non-stop towards the direction where the ginseng fruit was.
Hit the ginseng fruit.
In order to avoid causing embarrassment, the two of them found a time when Cheng Long was not around and brought the ginseng fruit to Tang Seng for him to enjoy.
The two thought they were doing it secretly, but they didn't know that even in this Taoist temple, Cheng Long did not let down his guard, so when they entered the side hall, Cheng Long sensed it clearly.
But Cheng Long didn't care about these. Although he had never dealt with Zhen Yuanzi, he had obtained ginseng fruit from the Jade Emperor and Nuwa, and had tasted the flavor of ginseng fruit early on.
And there’s more than one!
To be honest, the efficacy of ginseng fruit is much higher than that of the 9,000-year-old peaches. The juice is particularly sweet. Anyone who has eaten it will miss the taste of ginseng fruit.
As spiritual roots of heaven and earth, there is only one ginseng fruit, but the peach tree has differentiated into thousands of trees. Under such circumstances, although the peaches produced are extraordinary, they are far inferior to the ginseng fruits produced by the ginseng fruit tree.
"How come this is a child?"
When Tang Seng saw the two ginseng fruits on the tray, he was so scared that he broke out in a sweat. He just came to ask for a place to stay and some vegetarian food, so why did they bring two tiny children?
Are you going to make clay pot rice for him?
"Elder Tang, this fruit just looks like a child, but it's not a real child. You can eat it without worry!"
Although Qingfeng Mingyue was very envious of the ginseng fruit, she had to follow proper etiquette and had to wait for the Tang monk to refuse several times before she allowed him to take the fruit back and share it.
“Is this fruit?”
Tang Seng took a closer look and found that the "child" on the tray was indeed not crying or making a fuss, and was emitting a strange fragrance.
If a normal child was tied up, he would definitely cry endlessly, and he would not be that small. Even a baby who was only a few days old could not be only the size of a palm, unless he had been taken out of a woman's womb a long time ago.
"Elder, before the master left, he specifically told us to pick two fruits for you to taste. Please accept them!" Qingfeng persuaded again.
"No, no, I still can't accept it. Take it back quickly."
As soon as Tang Monk saw the lifelike ginseng fruits on the tray, he was frightened. Little did he know that if he ate one he could live for 47,000 years, and if he ate two he would become an immortal instantly.
Seeing that Tang Seng was afraid of the ginseng fruit, Qingfeng Mingyue was already very happy. After repeated persuasion, she took the ginseng fruit and left the room, muttering that Tang Seng was blind to treasures, while sharing the ginseng fruit. However, she didn't know that their every move was seen by Bajie. Zhu Bajie rolled his eyes and glanced at Sha Seng beside him, then came forward and muttered: "Sha Junior Brother, you said that these two boys gave the ginseng fruit to the master, and the master didn't eat it, but the ginseng fruit should be shared with us disciples, but they actually ate it secretly..."
"Brother, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush."
Sha Seng doesn't like to talk very much and just wants to do things quietly. He was chosen in the Heavenly Palace to become the Curtain-Pulling General beside the Jade Emperor because he doesn't talk much.
Bajie heard this and laughed, "When I was an official in heaven, I had the honor of hearing about the name of the ginseng fruit, but I didn't know what it tasted like! Now that I've seen it, I'm a little greedy. Why don't we go get a few and taste the fruit?"
"This……"
Sha Seng's eyes lit up. Before he was demoted to the mortal world, he had seen too many natural treasures, many of which he could only look at but not touch. Even the peaches he had eaten had only a few that were three thousand years old.
Ginseng fruit is such a precious thing that he cannot afford to pee at it.
Now that I have the chance to try it, it would be a pity to miss it.
After a little hesitation.
Sha Seng whispered, "Brother, we can't handle this alone. We need to ask Brother Sun to help us pick fruits together. Only then can we feel at ease."
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
"That's true. I'll go talk to Brother Sun. You follow them and steal everything they need."
Zhu Bajie rolled his eyes and felt that what Sha Seng said made a lot of sense. Five hundred years ago, Big Brother Sun was the Great Sage Equaling Heaven who was personally appointed by the Great Venerable Tianzun. Although he was soon demoted to a mountain god, that was all to pave the way for the Journey to the West.
Just like when he drank some wine at the Peach Festival to give himself the courage to talk to Chang'e, but was slandered for wanting to defile the fairy Chang'e, all for the current journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
This point is clear to everyone, including Bajie, Sha Seng and the White Dragon Horse.
However, Cheng Long did not have the habit of doing things secretly. When he learned of Bajie's purpose, he refused without thinking.
After the unwilling Bajie reunited with Sha Seng, he took the golden hammer stolen by Sha Seng, secretly found the ginseng fruit tree, and then sneaked into the yard where the ginseng fruit tree was planted.
“This fruit looks really tempting.”
A white cloud appeared under Bajie's feet, dragging him to a ginseng fruit. He raised his golden hammer and knocked it down.
Boom!
The ginseng fruit that fell to the ground drilled into the ground and disappeared without a trace.
This made Bajie and Sha Seng very angry.
The two of them shouted out the name of the land owner of Wuzhuang Temple without any explanation.
"You old landowner, you even dare to steal the fruits we picked. If I don't beat you into a pig's head today, I'm not Marshal Tianpeng." Zhu Bajie grabbed the collar of the little landowner angrily, muttering that he wanted to teach him a lesson.
"Marshal Tianpeng, it's unfair! How dare I steal the ginseng fruit you picked? This fruit will fall when it comes into contact with gold, wither when it comes into contact with wood, melt when it comes into contact with water, burn when it comes into contact with fire, and dissolve when it comes into contact with soil. You have to catch it with porcelain or with your hands to eat this fruit." The little land god explained repeatedly, fearing that he would be beaten on the head if he was slow.
"Is there still this?"
Zhu Bajie was a little skeptical.
"Marshal Tianpeng, I am just a small landowner, how dare I lie to you?"
"Brother, I think he is not lying. The ginseng fruit just disappeared strangely. I didn't sense any fluctuations in mana."
"Okay, let's just bypass him for now."
Bajie casually put the land on the ground, then rode the cloud up again, hitting the ginseng fruit with a golden hammer and catching it with his hand.
After taking the first one, I couldn’t wait to put it in my mouth and taste it.
He ate too fast and couldn't taste the first one, so he knocked another one into his mouth, and this time he finally tasted it.
But it is precisely because he has tasted the flavor that Zhu Bajie cannot stop.
So...
There were 27 fruits left on the tree, and Bajie ate one third of them. It was not until Sha Seng flew to stop him that he realized that he had been greedy and eaten too much.
"Brother, you are in big trouble now. It would be fine if you tried one ginseng fruit, but you actually ate twelve in one breath." Sha Seng was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. It had only been a short time, and the second brother had eaten as many as twelve ginseng fruits from the tree, but he didn't even taste any one!
"This, this, this..."
Just as Zhu Bajie was about to argue, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach.
Although ginseng fruit is delicious, one should not be too greedy and eat twelve of them in one breath. The abundant vitality contained in the ginseng fruit is simply not something a Taiyi Jinxian can bear.
"for you!"
He suddenly shoved the golden hammer into his throat, killing him, and then turned and left.
Just at this time, Qingfeng Mingyue, who realized that something was wrong, rushed here at the same time. Seeing Sha Seng hitting the fruit with a golden hammer, he was so angry that his hair turned green.
"You great monk, we were kind enough to open the door for you and provide you with a place to stay. It would be fine if you were not grateful, but you actually stole the ginseng fruit. I will not forgive you today..."
Qingfeng was so angry when he saw that at least 30% of the ginseng fruit was missing that he wanted to kill someone. He reached into the air with his right hand, took out his own life-saving magic weapon, the 'Qingfeng Sword' and stabbed Sha Seng in the chest.
Sha Seng, who was caught in the act, was already in the wrong. Facing the fierce sword, he stood there like a fool.
laugh!
The tip of the sword entered through the chest and exited through the back.
Qingfeng, not satisfied, pushed harder and pierced Sha Seng's chest with the Qingfeng sword, which immediately cut Sha Seng's right shoulder and brought out a lot of blood.
Just a meeting.
Monk Sha was beaten by Qingfeng and lost his ability to fight, with half of his body almost disabled.
"Brother, don't kill him yet!"
Seeing that half of Monk Sha's body was about to be chopped off by Qingfeng as soon as they met, Mingyue hurriedly spoke out to stop him. The master had made it very clear before leaving that he had an old relationship with the monk from the Tang Dynasty.
Even if something happens now, you can't kill anyone.
They could only control the person and wait for their master Zhen Yuanzi to come back before taking any action.
"Hmph, you're good to go!"
Qingfeng was not at all relieved, but Mingyue must have his reasons for stopping him. The two of them had lived together for several kalpas and had already developed enough tacit understanding.
"Senior brother, there are only 15 fruits left on the tree. This bastard actually ate thirteen ginseng fruits in one breath. I am so angry." Mingyue couldn't help shivering when she thought of the horrible scene when the master came back and found that half of the ginseng fruits on the tree were gone.
this is too scary!
Tang Seng and his companions must not be let go.
Otherwise they will be in trouble! (End of this chapter)
