Chapter 62: Returning the Root Jade Liquid

As soon as he heard that there was still a chance to rescue her, Tang Sanzang immediately raised his head and said with tears in his eyes: "Erlang Zhenjun, is there really a way to save her, but her root system has been broken, even if she is replanted in the soil, I am afraid that she will not be able to live, right?"

Erlang Zhenjun smiled slightly when he heard this, took out a short round-mouthed vial from his arms, and handed it to Sanzang confidently: "It's okay, it's just because Xingxian has a weak body, and the red mist on this eight-hundred-mile thorn ridge has covered the mountain people in the forest for two hundred years. The compassionate and compassionate Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva of the South China Sea, the Bodhisattva calculated that your Sanzang Legion should arrive at the Thorn Ridge today, and there may be obstacles in the road, so seven of my brothers came to help you, and also brought the rooting jade liquid she collected from the three islands of the ten continents in the early years with the True Monarch, and used this jade liquid to make her regenerate the root system, which is more than enough. ”

"It's just that as she just said, because she has been emitting mist to rescue the mountain people in the forest for the past two hundred years, she has exhausted the true yuan, causing her body to be extremely weak, even if she recovers her root system and can absorb the aura in the soil, she is just an ordinary apricot tree that is half-immortal, and she will never have a chance to cultivate into a human form again. ”

Seeing Erlang Zhenjun's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Tang Sanzang was very annoyed in his heart, and urged urgently: "Alas, when is this, does Zhenjun need the poor monk to do anything, just say it's okay, don't have too many scruples." ”

Erlang Zhenjun's face was full of admiration when he heard this, and he said with his head bowed: "The holy monk is really bright, and it can be penetrated at one point, if you want Xingxian to recover her vitality, you have to have the blood in the holy monk's body." ”

As soon as the words came out, Sun Wukong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and glare, and stepped forward a few steps to stop in front of Sanzang, a pair of monkey eyes looked at Erlang Zhenjun tightly and said: "Erlang God, if it weren't for the fact that you and other brothers have the grace to solve problems in our Sanzang Army today, as far as your idea of beating the blood in my master's body at this moment, my old grandson would have every reason to suspect which side of you are a monster illusion, harboring evil intentions, and wanting to do wrong." We have so many brothers in the Sanzang Legion, how can we want the blood in my master's body, this is too much to ask, right?"

Seeing that the monkey's tone was aggressive and full of blame, Erlang Zhenjun stretched out his hand, stopped the six brothers who wanted to step forward to theorize, and shrugged his shoulders slightly: " Monkey, you are really wronged by the true monarch, firstly, the apricot fairy has the grace to solve the problem in the holy monk, even if the holy monk gave up the blood in his body to save her, but it is understandable; second, the holy monk is a man of destiny, and the flesh and blood of the body really have its wonders, not to mention that he swallowed the nine-turn golden pill along the way, and ate the ginseng fruit, could it be to supplement the nutrition of the weak Xingxian, or to save a dying person?"

Hearing his words, Sha Wujing waved his hand, and said with righteousness: "Erlang Zhenjun, you don't want to be alarmist there, and make money to deceive my master, he is already frail, and it has been hard work all the way, if he does bloodletting again, I am afraid that he will save Xingxian, but he will put himself in, which is very inappropriate." If you want to say that you are sneering nine turns of gold pills and eating ginseng fruits, I am not the only master in my Sanzang army, and even my Lao Sha and Ao Bai are like this. ”

Erlang Zhenjun shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said calmly: "Although this is the case, but the holy monk originally had a wonderful point, but he did not wait, he is the reincarnation of the second disciple of the Buddha, Elder Jin Chan, a good person who has cultivated in the tenth life, and the essence and blood of the body are true and pure. ”

Wu Jing opened his mouth when he heard this, and before he could say anything, Tang Sanzang waved his hand and stopped: "Okay, as long as you can save Xingxian's life, even if you give up my life, then what's the matter, but I don't know how much blood Zhenjun needs me to give up?"

Erlang Zhenjun pouted when he heard this, frowned, and said: "That has to be seen after Xingxian takes root, according to the actual needs, but judging from the experience of the past days, it always has to be three or four bowls." ”

As soon as the words came out, all the disciples gasped unconsciously, and said in unison: "No, no, this is the blood on the human body, and it is not water, it takes as many as three or four bowls, the master is already weak, and this time it is not indirectly asking for his life, no, this matter is not negotiable, even if the master agrees, our brothers will resolutely not allow it." ”

This is nerve-wracking, Tang Sanzang insisted on stepping forward with blood, but the senior brothers insisted on blocking it, and they couldn't discuss it, even Erlang Zhenjun couldn't help but make trouble, and looked at each other with a few brothers, unable to think of a way to deal with it.

At this time, Wen Tianshu slowly stepped forward with the help of Yashi, and said with a smile: "Senior brothers, Erlang Zhenjun, the little girl thought of a compromise solution, but I don't know if it is feasible?"

Seeing that Tianshu actually opened his mouth to point, Wukong's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he admitted: "Tianshu, you don't have to sell Guanzi, if you have any ideas, just say it, let's discuss it to see if it's feasible." ”

Tianshu nodded, took a deep breath and said: "I think so, because the third senior brother and Ao Bai have both taken the Nine Turns Golden Pill and eaten the ginseng fruit, although it may not be the pure yang body of the tenth life, the effect is much worse, but after all, their blood also has the effect of saving the dead, not to mention that the third senior brother is an immortal who has practiced for many years, and Ao Bai is a dragon blood, which is precious." I thought it would be better for them to join in, and each of them would donate a bowl of blood to share some of it for the master, which would greatly reduce the risk of his injury. ”

Hearing her give such a suggestion, Erlang Zhenjun couldn't help but scratch his head, and said embarrassedly: "Well, I really haven't encountered this idea, Ben Zhenjun just followed the decree of Guanyin Bodhisattva and passed the word on his behalf, but since it is just to provide nutrition for Xingxian to donate blood, it is understandable to use their blood, let's give it a try and see how it works." As he spoke, Taiwei Kang and Taiwei Li came forward to report that they had planted a rootless apricot tree by Chen Xuanzang's grave with a shovel.

Erlang Zhenjun listened to the slight jaw, led everyone to hurry to the apricot tree, took out a jade long-mouthed small teacup from his arms, and carefully poured the jade liquid in the small bottle into the small teacup.

Erlang Zhenjun was very cautious when pouring this jade liquid, not letting half a drop of jade liquid spill out, only pouring the weight of this half of a small tea cup, and it took half an hour to see that Gui Tongzi was very disdainful, and rolled his eyes and whispered to Mei Tongzi: " Hey, I think this Erlang Zhenjun is really good at pretending, obviously the jade liquid is in a small bottle, and it can be poured directly into the soil to save the apricot fairy Niangniang to take root, but it is to be poured in the jade tea cup, and it is poured so carefully, even a drop is reluctant to spill, and it takes a lot of time to go, and I can see that my eyes hurt, and I am extremely impatient. ”

Although the two of them said quietly, General Zhijian, who was guarding them beside them, had a pair of attractive ears, and such small words also entered his ears, so hateful that he gritted his silver teeth and shouted: "Shut up, how can the two ignorant little girls know the reason for this? My eldest brother has always been upright and open-minded, how can he be the one who pretends to be a mysterious?"

"It's just that if you want to heal the flowers and trees that have broken off their roots and died, you have to match them with the nectar in the net bottle of Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South China Sea, which is extremely precious. And this nectar is contained in the Guanyin Bodhisattva jade bottle, it is very much, just because this apricot fairy has broken the root system two hundred years ago, the age is too long, it seems that it is difficult to cure with nectar alone, the Bodhisattva in line with the principle of saving people and saving thoroughly, personally went to the residence of Penglai Mishima Fu Lu Shou Sanxing to get the elixir, the three old children are not only highly respected, but also very stingy, especially with the people in the Buddhism do not get along, let the Bodhisattva spend all his lips and tongue, move it with affection and reason, toss for several months, just shake his head, refuse to take the pill lightly. ”

The Bodhisattva had no choice but to tell the story of Xingxian with the three stars and the plate, and finally aroused the compassion of the three elders, and made an exception to reward her with a pill of returning the root, so that she could turn into the net bottle of nectar, and freeze it with a thousand years of cold ice for 100 days, and then use the pure samadhi true fire to exercise 7749 days of stirring and fusion, and it took a lot of work to fuse a bottle full of pure bottle of nectar water with the grain of the root returning pill, to remove its impurities, only this half of the jade liquid is obtained, which can be described as precious. That's why my eldest brother is so cautious, refusing to spill a drop easily, always thinking that he wants to use all this lot of jade liquid to save Xingxian, and he doesn't want to be despised like this by Zhier and other juniors. The two boys suddenly realized, lowered their heads, and were silent.

At this time, Erlang Zhenjun had already leaned down and saw the pit that the two Tai Lieutenants had dug in advance at the root of the apricot tree at the four directions of the south, east, and northwest at an angle of 45 degrees. Erlang Zhenjun held the tea cup, waved his fingers from east to north in turn to absorb the jade liquid in the cup, bit by drop a reincarnation, carefully sprinkled in the pit, said that this jade liquid is really magical, once it fell to the ground, it was not absorbed by the soil, but along the inclined slide all the way into the bottom of the pit, used to nourish the branches of the apricot tree. Although there was only half a teacup of jade liquid, Erlang Zhenjun sowed it bit by bit, and it took half an hour to sprinkle all the jade liquid in half a teacup into the four pits.

However, the bare branches still did not look like they were about to take root under the nourishment of the jade liquid. provoked Sun Wukong to be extremely impatient, gritted his teeth and asked: "Erlang Zhenjun, are you fooling my old grandson, it's been so long, why doesn't this apricot tree have the slightest intention of taking root?"
