Chapter 42: Zhu Bajie's "Mission"

If you want to talk about this Journey to the West, there are so many top bosses.

In addition to the six Heavenly Dao Saints and the Hongjun Dao Ancestor of the United Dao, the first echelon is Haotian God, Rulai Buddha, and Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the Earth Immortals.

This kind of character, it is usually impossible to meet, and now he is traveling to the west, spending the night in other people's Taoist temples, and also receiving the hospitality of Zhen Yuanzi, if he really does not say goodbye, it is indeed too rude.

So Tang Sen stayed for the time being, wanting to thank Zhen Yuanzi in person after he came back, and then say goodbye.

Moreover, Tang Sen does admire Zhen Yuanzi very much, the ancestor of the earth immortals, what is the earth immortals?

This is not the current cultivation realm, but in ancient times, the thirty-three heavens were found above the mountain of Tianzhu Buzhou, and the demon clan established the demon court, which was later called the heavenly court. And the desolate land below is the earth immortal realm relative to the heavenly court, one heaven and one earth, just the name of the spatial direction.

Immortals are enshrined in the heavenly court, called heavenly immortals, and practice in the blessed land of the earth, caves, mountains, rivers, and rivers, and are called earth immortals.

Later, the war of the gods, the sage of the sect of Shangqing Tongtian set up the sword array of the immortals, with a battle of the four saints, the desolate land was broken into pieces of different sizes, and then the sage was integrated, divided into the four continents that are now known, namely: Dongsheng Shenzhou, South Ganbu Continent, North Julu Continent, West Niuhe Continent.

The land in the ancestor of the earth immortals is the land under the feet in front of you.

The ancestor of the earth immortals, this name is not small.

That is, Zhen Yuanzi can withstand such a great name, as far as Tang Sen knows, Zhen Yuanzi has a treasure in his hand, known as the earth fetal membrane of the book, and the book of heaven and the book of life and death are called "three books", which evolved from the laws of the desolate world, and the three talents of heaven, earth and man are juxtaposed, and three give birth to all things.

However, it is not as famous as the Book of Heaven and the Book of Life and Death, which is the foundation of the current Heavenly Court and is controlled by Haotian God. The Book of Life and Death is in charge of the life, death, blessing and misfortune of all living beings, and is in charge of the Netherworld. The book from the ground is not famous, few people know this treasure, the book from the ground can assist in combing the leylines, coordinating feng shui to store qi, gathering qi, etc.

Moreover, the Book of the Ground has unparalleled defensive power, and it is claimed to stand on the earth without defeat, which shows its great might.

Tang Sen guessed that the Book of Heaven and the Book of Gods created a heavenly court, and the Book of Life and Death created an underworld, and the Book of the Earth should also have a similar function, sealing the land of the mountain god, the god of the sea and so on. However, Zhen Yuanzi had no intention of forming a force, which led to the fact that the land of the mountain gods in the lower realm was all controlled by the Heavenly Court, but the Heavenly Court only had the right to use it at best.

All of the above is a blind guess by Townsen, and he has no evidence.

Just as Tang Sen's thoughts flew out of the sky, the four apprentices all quietly left and went to another room.

"Bajie, why did you quietly call us to this house?" Sun Wukong shook off the sleeves that were forcibly pulled by Zhu Bajie and said impatiently.

The pig, as he spoke, called a few people to this room, saying that it was a good thing to tell them something.

Everyone was also amazed at what a good thing it was, so they followed half-pushing.

"Yes, Second Senior Brother, tell me what a good thing it is." Xiao Bailong asked excitedly, I ate ginseng fruit today, and my cultivation skyrocketed, if there was another good thing, it would be great!

"Senior brother, there is indeed something, brother, I can't do it with low skills, and you have to be the Monkey King!" Zhu Bajie said shyly, and slapped Sun Wukong's ass by the way.

"Yo, the sun is coming out of the west today, and there is something you can't do as Marshal Tianpeng? Let's talk about it, my grandson is really curious. Sun Wukong asked with interest, this nerd, usually his eyes are above the top, except for the master, no one is convinced, and today he even said good things about himself, now I am really curious about what he said.

"That's it, that's it, my old pig didn't taste the little bit of ginseng fruit just now, so I'm bothering my brother to go and beat a few more fruits, and our brothers will eat them separately." Zhu Bajie said embarrassedly.

"Master, I'm sorry, my old pig can't help himself, don't blame me." At the same time, Zhu Bajie secretly apologized in his heart.

There is no way, this is the task assigned to him by the Taishang Patriarch, asking him to provoke the relationship between Zhen Yuanzi and Buddhism a little when he passes through these five village views, and it is best for the two parties to completely break up.

After all, Zhen Yuanzi usually belongs to a neutral faction, Taoism, Buddhism, and the two are not touched, which is quite a bit of a self-reliance.

This time, if you can take the opportunity of Journey to the West to do something to anger Zhen Yuanzi as a person who learns scriptures from Zhubajie Buddhism, then the human sect will come forward to mediate, and if the two parties have a quarrel, it is completely possible to pull Zhen Yuanzi into the camp of Taoism.

What kind of character is Zhen Yuanzi? The ancestor of the earth immortals, the guest of Zixiao Palace, the supreme power of the same generation as the Sanqing, the quasi-saint of the three corpses, is only one step away from the Tao, but this step is like a moat.

However, there are only six figures like saints in heaven and earth, and if they can win the top power like Zhen Yuanzi, then in the confrontation between Buddhism and Taoism, the Buddha will no longer have an advantage at all.

Zhu Bajie knew that for this Buddhism and Taoism Daxing, the big man of the Daomen was very unhappy in his heart, because of the general trend of the Heavenly Dao, although he agreed on the surface, but secretly he didn't know how many small movements, if he suppressed it, it was naturally a fake action, if it was not suppressed, then the fake action could become a real action, and the momentum of Buddhism would be completely cut off.

And Zhen Yuanzi is the biggest chess piece in the overall situation of Journey to the West, the biggest chess piece in the Buddhist and Taoist game field, variables, both sides want to fight for it, and they both want to use this chess piece to strengthen themselves or hit each other.

The master has made a move, and the move is bloodless, but it is full of murderous intent.

And the way to anger Zhen Yuanzi is to make a fuss about his treasure tree.

Who in the Three Realms doesn't know that Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the earth immortals, cherishes his ginseng fruit tree, if there is an accident in this tree, or there are a few fewer fruits, then Zhen Yuanzi will definitely be angry with his group, and then hate Buddhism, then his goal will be achieved.

As for the safety of several of his own people, Zhu Bajie got the promise of the ancestor to keep them safe.

"You idiot, this kind of spiritual fruit, it is a great blessing for ordinary people to smell and see it, you have tasted it and are still not satisfied, you are really insatiable." Sun Wukong scolded with a smile.

"But, senior brother, the four of us, this old Taoist just gave us a fruit, it doesn't matter if he looks down on us, but he looks down on you Monkey King! Four people share a fruit, the dignified Monkey King, he can't even eat a whole fruit, and he makes others laugh when he says it. I don't know and think we can't afford to eat it, my opinion is that my senior brother will get him a few more fruits, and we will each have one, wouldn't it be very face-saving! Zhu Bajie said with a disdainful tone, and he was stirring up trouble both inside and outside the words.

"Second senior brother, this is not good, others invited us to eat fruit, and we even went to steal fruit to eat after we finished eating, this... This ......" The little white dragon hesitated for a long time and couldn't speak, although he was still young, he always felt that it was wrong to do so.

"It's not good, it's not good, it's just a few fruits left and right, the owner of this house is stingy, and, what is stealing? How can the things of my Buddha be called stealing? That's called karma. It is a matter of immeasurable merit. Zhu Bajie immediately retorted, bullying Xiao Bailong was young and ignorant.

"I also think it's not good, it's really shameful to take it without telling it." Sha Wujing also said hesitantly.

"What is despised, here are the four of us brothers, if you don't say it, I won't say who can know, the master is an upright, idealistic, ambitious and faithful person, I didn't let him know. Also, have you forgotten how much we improved just now? This is just a bite to eat, if one person eats a whole ginseng fruit, or even several ginseng fruits, then how much we will improve, it is unimaginable. ”

"If you really don't want to go in your heart, just let us borrow it, and then find a few fruits and give it back to him."

As soon as these words came out, Sha Wujing and Xiao Bailong immediately stopped talking, and they also missed the feeling of rapid improvement in cultivation.

As for the owner of this Taoist temple, they haven't heard of it, it is estimated that it is just a small immortal, and it is enough to compensate for something afterwards, such treasures are left and not used, it is really a tyrannical thing.

Xiao Bailong grew up in the West Sea Dragon Palace since he was a child, and he didn't have much knowledge at all, and he hadn't even been out of the Dragon Palace a few times, so naturally he had never heard of an ancient immortal like Zhen Yuanzi.

And although Sha Wujing is the general of the rolling shutter in front of the Jade Emperor, it is also a good thing to say, the rolling shutter is just a servant who rolls up the curtain, and his level will definitely not be able to contact characters such as Zhen Yuanzi, plus Zhen Yuanzi is known as the ancestor of the earth immortals, almost never goes to heaven, and his friends are also the top characters of Sanqing, etc., and it is indeed normal for ordinary people not to hear of it.

As for Sun Wukong, although he is a heaven and earth spirit monkey, he has only been born for a few hundred years, and it is less than a thousand years. Since birth, I have basically been under the control of Buddhism, so how can I have the opportunity to understand the true face of this world? Born, to go to the sea to find immortals, to apprentice to Su Bodhi, that Su Bodhi only teaches magic skills but never teaches all things in the world and the way of being a person, to the later drama of the Heavenly Palace, and then it is pressed for 500 years, and now it is traveling west to learn scriptures.

The first half of his life was a life designed by others, and it wasn't until he met Tang Sen that he had any hope of breaking the game, but this couldn't make up for his lack of knowledge, and he didn't know a character who couldn't be messed with in this world.

Seeing that Sun Wukong was still hesitating, Zhu Bajie decided to add another fire.

"Alas, I didn't expect that the dignified Monkey King is just a timid monkey, that's it, that's it, it's okay, eating a fruit and taking care of this and that, it's just a shame, this fruit, don't eat it!" Zhu Bajie sighed, but his tone was full of shame for Sun Wukong.

"Enough is enough!!" Sun Wukong's eyes were red, he was angry, and he shouted loudly.

Zhu Bajie's words seemed to poke at his sore spot, the country is easy to change, and his nature is difficult to change, and he is arrogant in his bones, and he is not afraid of the Monkey King.

Since being pressed under the mountain by Rulai for five hundred years, it still hasn't been able to erase his wildness, but now he can hide it more, but when the emotions accumulate.

Finally, now I was ignited by Zhu Bajie's words.

I think that at the beginning, the old grandson of the Pan Taoyuan in the heavenly court also ate and took at will, and the Jade Emperor couldn't move my old grandson, a few fruits in this unknown Taoist temple, I am still afraid of the tail, is this still the Monkey King who dared to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace at that time?

The more Sun Wukong thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

"You just wait here, don't move around, my grandson will go and bring you some fruits."

As soon as he gave the order, Sun Wukong disappeared and went straight to the back garden.
