Chapter 364: A Ginseng Fruit for a Relic
Tang Sanzang and his entourage walked for several months, and along the way, they slept in the open air, and suddenly saw a high mountain blocking the road in front of them.
From afar, I saw that the mountain radiated spiritual light, and the emerald green trees were unusually tall, as if they had come to a huge world, and the chirping of animals and the sound of streams and waterfalls could be heard clearly from afar.
"What an earthly fairyland, disciples, do you know where this place is?"
Tang Sanzang, who was riding on the white dragon horse, looked at the immortal mountain in the distance and couldn't help but show a trace of envy, he would become a Buddha and an ancestor in the future, and he should make this place to enjoy.
Sun Wukong's fiery eyes flashed with golden light, he saw the rich aura, and couldn't help but be surprised and blurted out: "Master, this immortal mountain is even better than Lao Sun's Huaguo Mountain." ”
Sha Wujing also looked into the distance curiously, only Zhu Bajie looked sullen, but he looked at Sun Wukong with disdain, and secretly scolded in his heart, stinky monkey, what can you know.
"We have all experienced the poor mountains and bad waters along the way, but the first time we encountered this fairyland, there must be immortals living here."
Tang Sanzang also pretended not to understand and looked into the distance and said with a sigh, and Zhu Bajie even pretended to be a clear lake, patted his belly and said with a smile: "Master, it doesn't matter what he is, don't we know in the past, if there are really immortals living there, we don't have to sleep in the wild, and we can eat a hot and good meal." ”
"You idiot, just thinking about eating, it's hard to think about your four big fat boys."
Sun Wu said angrily, which suddenly made Zhu Bajie's face change, and hurriedly flicked his wide sleeves and said again and again: "Go, you plagued monkey, what nonsense, you said that it has nothing to do with the old pig, it is their own belly that wants the old pig to take over." ”
"Go, don't mention this matter again in the future, if the Bodhisattva hears it, I can't please the old pig, the tight hoop on your head, hum."
Zhu Bajie also glared at the monkey threateningly, and seemed to say that you got the imperial wine again, and I can't run away from you when you are clean? It's good that you and I don't talk about it, and if you're unlucky, no one should think about it.
"You idiot."
Sun Wukong is not stupid, and he didn't mention it after muttering a sentence with a smile, after all, he was also worried that the Bodhisattva would wear small shoes for them in the future, but after so long, it should be fine.
But it is said that this mountain is called Wanshou Mountain, and there is a view in the mountain, called Wuzhuang View.
Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice walked all the way towards the immortal mountain, and when they passed through many strange and tall plants and trees along the way, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they saw that under the immortal aura in the distance, there was a huge Taoist temple that appeared in this immortal mountain.
The white clouds and smoke were like clouds, the cranes were singing, countless strange beasts were chirping, and more importantly, none of them were afraid of the living, but they all looked at the new creatures curiously.
The palace is extremely high, and the towers are ethereal. There is a huge stone tablet on the left side of the mountain gate, there are ten big characters on the tablet, it is 'the blessed land of Wanshou Mountain, Wuzhuang Guandongtian'.
After Tang Sanzang and his entourage came here, they all exclaimed, just the scene outside Sun Wukong stared at him, this place is several times better than his Huaguo Mountain, and as a well-informed Zhu Bajie, he was even more shocked.
Although he had known where this place was for a long time, after seeing it with his own eyes, Zhu Bajie couldn't help but be shocked in his heart at this time, what a longevity mountain, the dojo of Zhenyuan Daxian is far more outrageous than the legend.
Zhu Bajie is not such an uninformed monkey, Sha Wujing also hears more and sees less, he can be regarded as well-informed, but today is indeed shocking to him.
"Okay, good fairy mountain, apprentices should be careful and polite."
Tang Sanzang personally dismounted and walked towards the Taoist temple with his apprentices, and there was a pair of Spring Festival couplets on the two gates: the immortal immortal mansion, and the heaven and longevity Taoist family.
After Sun Wukong saw this couplet, he immediately showed a playful smile on his face, and quipped: "This Taoist priest is also bluffing." When my grandson made trouble in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago, he never saw such words in the Tushi Palace of the Taishang Laojun. ”
Although Sha Wujing didn't have much knowledge, he had heard a lot, and at this time he knew in his heart where this place was, but he was still silent, completely like an honest man.
But Zhu Bajie shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother Monkey, what are you doing here, let's go in." ”
Tang Sanzang looked at his three apprentices, who seemed to have a good face now, but in fact, they still had their own careful thoughts in their hearts, otherwise how could they not remind the monkey.
I saw Tang Sanzang showing a look of sudden enlightenment, "I remembered it as a teacher, I once heard the name of the ancestor of this immortal town Yuanzi Daxian when I was in Jinshan Temple"
When he said this, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but look at Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, and said with a smile: "Bajie, Wujing, you two are both officials in the Heavenly Court, I don't know how many years, haven't you heard of it?" ”
At this moment, Bajie suddenly laughed brightly, he never thought that his master had actually heard about the ancestor of the earth immortals, and Sha Wujing nodded honestly and said: "Master, Wujing heard it when he was in the heavenly court, but he didn't see it with his own eyes. ”
"Hehe, my old pig is training the navy in Tianhe every day, and I don't know much about this."
Zhu Bajie's answer was a little chilly, and how smart Sun Wukong was, it was just that his knowledge limited his vision, at this time a golden light flashed in his eyes, and when he looked at his two junior brothers, he no longer had the contempt of the past, but had a solemnity.
The four masters and apprentices are all actors in the acting department, and I saw Sun Wukong directly showing a smiling face, and quipped: "Master, your old man should talk to the apprentice about the ancestor of the earth immortals, so that the apprentice can have a long insight, so as not to be laughed at in the future." ”
When Sun Wukong said this, he glanced at Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing meaningfully, Bajie looked like he didn't see it, and Sha Wujing smiled like an honest person: "If you want to hear it, if you want to hear it, if you are bored on the road in the future, my brother will tell you about some rumors in the heavenly realm." ”
"Hehe, okay, it's better to be Senior Brother Sha."
Looking at the three apprentices who were fighting, Tang Sanzang shook his head with a smile, and looked at Wuzhuang Guan and walked up step by step.
At this time, the gate of Wuzhuang Temple slowly opened, and the two Taoist children who walked out looked at the visitor with a smile at this time: "The holy monk is unwelcome." ”
These two delicate Taoist children were Qingfeng and Mingyue, and at this time, greeted with a smile on their faces, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but smile and said: "Two fairy children, the poor monk is polite." ”
"Hehe, the holy monk is polite, the family teacher has already calculated that the holy monk is coming today, so he specially ordered me to wait here."
Qingfeng Mingyue and the two people greeted Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice with a smile on their faces politely, and after inviting them into the main hall, they saw that there were two big characters of "heaven and earth" hanging in the middle, and a vermilion withered lacquered eucalyptus, a pair of gold furnace bottles on the eucalyptus, and green smoke around the fireside.
After seeing this scene, Sun Wukong suddenly looked left and right curiously, and asked with a smile: "Two fairy children, is this Wuzhuang Temple really the Western Immortal World?" Why not offer to the three Qings, the four emperors, and the Luo Tian Zhuzai, and only serve the word 'heaven and earth' to incense? ”
When the two Taoist children heard this, they immediately looked at each other and smiled, "It's not that my teacher doesn't confess, it's that they can't stand our incense." ”
Good guy, after hearing this, Sun Wukong didn't believe it, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and snickered: "Is Xiantong's tone a little big." ”
I saw Qingfeng smile proudly and arched his hand at Jiutianyi: "Sanqing is a friend of the family teacher, the fourth emperor is the old man of the family teacher, Jiuyao is the younger generation of the family teacher, and Yuanchen is the guest of the family teacher." ”
And Mingyue also nodded with a smile, and said with a look of pride on her face: "The Buddha of Mahayana Buddhism in Nanzhan Buzhou, the Mother of the Buddha, the Peacock and the King of the Ming Dynasty are all the younger generations of the family teacher, and the ancient Buddha of the lamp and the Buddha Emperor Rulai are only the same generation as the family teacher. ”
"The Buddha of the Western Heaven is also the younger generation of the family teacher, you say, they can afford the incense of our Wuzhuang Temple?"
Qingfeng Mingyue and the two Taoist children sang and harmonized, and suddenly Sun Wukong's eyes widened, his brain was buzzing at this time, and then he shook his head again and again, he really didn't believe that they could meet such a person.
However, at this time, Tang Sanzang nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, the great name of Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the earth immortals, has also heard of it, and it is a great power that has been friends with the same generation as the sage, and even the Buddha of the Western Heaven is also a junior, which cannot be faked." ”
Seeing that even his mortal master knew this, Sun Wukong suddenly showed surprise on his face, jumped up to his master curiously, and asked curiously: "Master, what kind of person is this Earth Immortal Ancestor?" ”
It's no wonder that Sun Wukong doesn't know, it's that he has too little knowledge, but Tang Sanzang nodded with a smile and said: "This ancestor of the earth immortals, Zhen Yuanzi Daxian, is the power of heaven and earth, and the saints of the Sanqing Heavens, this god and Buddha in the sky really no one dares to accept the Wuzhuang view of incense." ”
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 ancestor of this earth immortal, as well as the appearance of Bajie and Senior Brother Sha, at this moment it seemed that he had become the most short-sighted existence, which made him feel a little embarrassed for a while.
"Dare to ask where Zhenyuan Daxian is?" At this time, Tang Sanzang also saw the embarrassment of this monkey, and couldn't help but smile and divert the topic from the two fairy children's questions.
After hearing this, Qingfeng Mingyue suddenly showed a proud look and nodded: "The family teacher has been invited, and he has gone to the chaos to listen to the sage's explanation of the 'Mixed Yuan Dao Fruit', and he is not at home. ”
"However, before leaving, the family teacher counted the visit of the holy monk today, so he specially ordered me to wait for a good student to entertain the holy monk."
After hearing this, Tang Sanzang smiled, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, thank you so much to the two fairy children." ”
The second child went down politely with a smile on his face, and when he returned to the room, one picked up the golden hammer, the other held the Dan plate, and put the silk handkerchief on the bottom of the plate, and went directly to the ginseng garden behind the Taoist temple.
The auspicious clouds rose under the feet of the breeze and slowly drifted on the tall ginseng fruit tree, and the golden hit in the palm of the hand was lightly knocked, and suddenly the ginseng fruit fell, and the bright moon below was full of joy and waited for the Danpan with both hands under the tree.
In a moment, a ginseng fruit came down and was placed on the plate, and the two looked at each other and laughed towards the front hall, and at this time Tang Sanzang was also drinking tea and visiting the five villages.
"Master Tang, there are no mortal things in my Wuzhuang Temple, so I am a mortal food offering, a piece of Tuyi Vegetarian Fruit, and the right is to quench your thirst."
I saw Qingfeng Mingyue and the two respectfully holding the Dan plate, only to see a child on the plate who was exuding spiritual light, and it was even more terrifying to look at the past, but Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing stared at each other, and exclaimed in their hearts, this is a treasure they have only heard of.
And Sun Wukong's fiery eyes flickered, although he didn't know what kind of fruit this was, but the aura of the sky was richer than the peach he had eaten in the peach orchard, and it was even more than the golden pill aura in the Doushi Palace.
And Tang Sanzang immediately showed a happy smile when he saw this spirit fruit, and his big mouth was even more grinning to his ears, and he clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you two fairy children." ”
I saw Tang Sanzang slowly lifting this spiritual fruit with both hands, although he couldn't see anything bad, but he nodded with a smile on his red face and said: "I have long heard that there are four continents in the world, but the Wuzhuang Temple of Xiniu Hezhou has this spiritual fruit, and it is not inferior to the peach in the heavenly court." ”
"It is rumored that this ginseng fruit tree blooms once every 3,000 years, bears fruit once every 3,000 years, and matures after another 3,000 years, and can only be eaten after 10,000 years. It was as if in ten thousand years, only thirty fruits were produced. The appearance of the fruit is similar to that of a child who is not yet full of three dynasties, with all four limbs and salty facial features. If a man is destined to get the fruit and smell it, he will live three hundred and sixty years, and if he eats one, he will live forty-seven thousand years. ”
Well, under Tang Sanzang's explanation, Sun Wukong's eyes widened suddenly, and Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing looked at their master in shock, such secrets never thought that their cheap master would still know.
Tang Sanzang, who was carefully looking at the ginseng fruit, nodded with satisfaction, "Presumably this fruit is the ginseng fruit?" ”
At this time, Tang Sanzang's eyes looked at the two boys of Qingfeng and Mingyue, and the two boys nodded proudly when they saw this, "Yes, it is the ginseng fruit." ”
After hearing this, Tang San hid under Zhu Bajie's greedy gaze, he looked at the fruit in his hand with great intensity, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it deeply, and suddenly a fragrance penetrated into his heart, and an aura began to fill his body, and then opened his mouth in Zhu Bajie's straight eyes, and a light sip was crisp.
Kacha, the juice splashed in his mouth, and suddenly Tang Sanzang squinted his eyes and chewed the aftertaste, it was really fragrant, and then he didn't seem to see Zhu Bajie's eyes, and even raised it with one hand to cover his face with a robe, and instantly Kacha Kacha.
After a few bites, a ginseng fruit went down, and in the eyes of no one to see, Tang Sanzang licked all the remaining juice in his palm.
At this moment, the people in Wuzhuang Guan had not noticed it, but at this time, in a dojo in the chaos, at this time, Tang Sanzang was reluctant to let go of a little juice, but it clearly fell into the eyes of the three people.
It was the town Yuanzi and the three of Zhun Ti and the lead, at this time the guide lowered his head a little embarrassed, this scripture taker seemed to be a little embarrassed, but Zhun Ti nodded with satisfaction, this is right, good things can't be wasted.
But the corners of Zhen Yuanzi's eyes twitched, good guy, this food is exactly the same as Hongyun's guy, it's really not a waste at all.
After seeing Tang Sanzang finish eating the fruit, Zhen Yuanzi sighed lightly and turned his head, and at this time, he looked at Zhun Ti and said with a smile: "Zhun Ti Sage, this scripture taker has eaten a ginseng fruit." ”
Looking at Zhen Yuanzi's expression, Zhun Ti nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, Zhen Yuanzi, a fruit and a relic." ”
Today's Zhen Yuanzi is not something that the two of them can handle at will, so this ginseng fruit is not eaten for nothing, let Zhen Yuanzi make up for this difficulty, it is also because of the long distance, Tang Sanzang is mortal with the naked eye, and birth, old age, sickness and death are unavoidable, after all, the four continents under the current are much larger than in the original book.
To put it bluntly, the ginseng fruit is the benefit given by the West to Tang Sanzang, but Zhen Yuanzi will not give it in vain, a relic for a ginseng fruit.
