Chapter 43: This Peach Is Not Ripe Enough......
"So, this horse...... Do you still have to ride the poor monk? ”
Tang Sanzang's unintentional words made Ao Yu subconsciously lower his head, but the neck and ears that were as white as jade were slightly reddened.
Suddenly, Tang Sanzang also reacted and pronounced the Buddha's name in a row.
"Amitabha, good, good, poor monk...... That's not what the poor monk meant...... Don't get me wrong, Princess Aoyu. ”
"Okay, okay......"
The anxious monkey can't stand the grinding of this person coming and going, especially Tang Sanzang, who behaves slowly and leisurely on weekdays, but can also be regarded as a vigorous and resolute Tang Sanzang.
"Master is so good to ride this little white dragon, why do you shirk it again and again?"
"Noise! What do you know about stone monkeys? ”
Suddenly, he was angrily reprimanded by Tang Sanzang, and the monkey scratched the back of his head and quieted down.
However, Tang Sanzang also understood what the monkey said, for Ao Yu, instead of returning to the West Sea, it was better to follow him to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, which could be regarded as a meritorious creation.
"Alas...... ......In the end, Tang Sanzang let out a long sigh, but he reluctantly accepted this fact.
"So, the holy monk brother agreed?" When Ao Yu heard this, he asked with some joy.
Facing Ao Yu's inquiry, Tang Sanzang was deeply embarrassed and ashamed, and was unwilling to answer positively, but turned to the monkey and asked. "Wukong, where's the teacher's fast?"
"Here...... Here...... "The monkey hurriedly presented the purple gold bowl in his hand.
As Tang Sanzang took over the purple gold bowl, he felt inexplicably a kind of spiritual shock, and the whole body felt comfortable, only to feel that the seemingly ordinary meal in the purple gold bowl had an indescribable fragrance.
"It's okay, you have a heart." Tang Sanzang nodded slightly, but he was also quite satisfied.
Immediately, Tang Sanzang beckoned the monkey to bring over the white horse and luggage tied to the remote corner, while he sat down cross-legged and enjoyed the meal that the monkey had taken from nowhere.
And Princess Aoyu, who was standing on the side, sniffed the rich aura exuded from the meal, instinctively swallowed her saliva, and said secretly in her heart.
"It is worthy of the holy monk's elder brother, the rare spiritual objects contained in this casual meal are difficult for even the treasure vault of the West Sea Dragon Palace to afford."
Then, a chewing sound sounded, but Tang Sanzang couldn't help frowning slightly.
"This fast...... The taste is a little lighter, and it lacks so much meaning......"
However, Tang Sanzang was not a picky person, even if the fasting meal was not appetizing, he still did not waste the monkey's hard work, and swept away the small fasting meal in the purple gold bowl.
When the monkey brought all the white horses and luggage over in less than a moment, Tang Sanzang even washed the purple gold bowl with his own hands.
"Master, how is this fast?" The monkey glanced at the empty purple gold bowl and asked out loud.
"It's okay, but after all, it saves some materials and lacks so much taste." Tang Sanzang replied casually.
"Tsk...... The old dragon king, he is really stingy as always......" In this regard, the monkey couldn't help but complain loudly.
And Princess Aoyu, who was listening silently, blinked her eyes, and a trace of doubt flashed, but she had an expression of wanting to say something.
"By the way, my grandson almost forgot ......" Then the monkey spread his palm flat, blew it in one breath, and made a Sumeru mustard seed.
Suddenly, a huge peach appeared in the palm of the monkey's hand, exuding a burst of attractive fragrance, and even faintly the flowers and trees of the entire Shepan Mountain became a lot greener.
"This peach was also given by the old dragon king, so the master will take it as a 'meal consequence', taste it...... Taste it......" The monkey handed the peach in his hand, which was full of rich fragrance and natural nature, towards Tang Sanzang, and said urgingly.
It's just that Tang Sanzang, who has always cherished his disciples, hesitated, but refused. "Wukong, your favorite fruit is peaches, you can taste it, you can be a teacher at will."
"Huh......" It's a pity, but the monkey didn't give Tang Sanzang a chance to refuse, and directly stuffed the peach in his hand into Tang Sanzang's hands, and said indifferently.
"This thing, my grandson ate it until he vomited, Master taste it and see how it tastes."
"This ...... That's fine. ”
After all, it was also the apprentice's intention, and Tang Sanzang didn't mean to shirk it again, so he tasted it in a small bite.
Chew......
"It's okay, it's sweet and sour, it shouldn't be fully ripe yet...... Tang Sanzang took another bite of the peach with the big head of an adult.
"Master is really as wise as a torch, the quality of this peach is indeed not the best, but it can be regarded as the old dragon king's heart, Master will try it, and another day my grandson will go to Heaven to take such a basket, and let Master serve as a meal." The monkey smiled and said approvingly.
Princess Ao Yu on the side couldn't help but widen her eyes, swallowed her saliva again, and looked at the peach in Tang Sanzang's hand with a cute and cute face full of longing.
This thing...... If Princess Ao Yu is not mistaken, it should be the legendary peach!
Back then, the Dragon King of the West Sea was given by the Heavenly Court, and got a three-thousand-year-old peach that could become an immortal and was light in fitness, which could be said to be regarded as a treasure, and in the end, the Dragon King of the West Sea picked a good day and an auspicious day, which was eaten together with many brothers and sisters of Ao Yu.
And now the one in the hands of the holy monk's brother, whether it is aura or appearance, is better than the three-thousand-year-old peach that Ao Yu has ever seen, I am afraid that it is at least the kind of six-thousand-year-old peach that mortals can eat enough to soar and live forever.
Suddenly, Tang Sanzang inadvertently noticed Ao Yu's eyes staring directly at the peach in his hand.
Suddenly, Tang Sanzang felt a burst of heartache and guilt inexplicably......
Look at this child is so hungry, obviously as a princess of the dragon clan, but she is trapped in this snake mountain full of contempt, and even so hungry that she shows a longing expression for a peach.
"Princess Aoyu......" Immediately, Tang Sanzang hesitated, glanced at the peach in his hand that was only half left, and asked with some shame.
"The poor monk forgot to ask you if you had eaten, if not, the half of the peach in the poor monk's hand ......"
Suddenly, the flattered Ao Yu waved his hand again and again and stammered. "This ...... It's too precious, Ao Yu...... Can't afford ......"
Tang Sanzang gently took Ao Yu's little hand, handed the half of the peach to Ao Yu's hand, and said softly. "It's just a peach, how can it be compared to Princess Aoyu? Why can't you afford it? ”
Suddenly, Ao Yu's eyes were red, and there were faint tears overflowing, but he was already too moved to help himself, and muttered. "Holy Monk Brother ......"
