Chapter 68: Anticlimactic
Since the separation of Beiju Luzhou and Bodhi Patriarch, the snow is clear and rushed to Wuzhuang Temple.
I didn't want to come here, but I saw Sanzang and Bajie being tied up and pushed out of the door.
Seeing this, Xue Tianqing couldn't bear it, so he immediately jumped off the cloud and dispersed everyone to save the two, and then he was ready to reason with Zhen Yuanzi.
Seeing that Xue Tianqing admitted his identity, Zhen Yuanzi forcibly suppressed his anger: "Sun Wukong, because those two ginseng fruits are something I gave to the heavenly court, so I don't care about you." But these two people stole the ginseng fruit, and I punished them slightly, why did you intervene? ”
Xue Tianqing was stunned when she heard this, and then turned her head and asked Bajie: "What do you mean, you stole the ginseng fruit of the human family?" ”
Seeing that Bajie bowed his head and was silent, Xue Tianqing smiled: "Although I don't know the reason, I can definitely have a misunderstanding." Please let Daxian take a break from the wrath of the thunder and bring these two people back to the village to ask for clarification, how about it? ”
Zhen Yuanzi said: "Zhu Wu can steal the ginseng fruit and I took it, what misunderstanding is there?" ”
Xue Tianqing smiled: "The ginseng fruit is not an ordinary thing, if the immortal chief lets go of the real thief because of anger, you will regret it." ”
Zhen Yuanzi pondered for a moment, and finally brought the three of them back to the living room.
As soon as he entered the door, Xue Tianqing grabbed Bajie's ear: "Say, what's going on?" ”
When Bajie finished talking again, Xue Tianqing frowned and looked at Zhen Yuanzi: "If one ginseng fruit has ten thousand years of cultivation, then what about refining seventeen ginseng fruits?" ”
Zhen Yuanzi was stunned: "What do you mean?" Do you know who stole the ginseng fruit? ”
Xue Tianqing rolled her eyes: "No matter who it is, it's not this nerd anyway." You haven't answered my words yet, what would happen if one person refined seventeen ginseng fruits? ”
"One ginseng fruit can be worth 10,000 years of cultivation, even if you want to refine, if you don't cultivate enough, refining too much will only explode and die."
"What if the person who stole the ginseng fruit doesn't want to refine it, but is going to let it cultivate into a human body?"
Zhen Yuanzi was shocked when he heard this: "What do you mean?" ”
"I didn't use two ginseng fruits, but one. Exactly the woman, and I don't know where the man is now. ”
Xue Tianqing's words reminded Zhen Yuanzi that when he cleaned up the Treasure Pavilion back then, Yaochi Lux only found the remains of one ginseng fruit, and the other one was not found.
I thought that Xue Tianqing had eaten it alive, but now it seems that there is another hidden secret.
Later, Xue Tianqing told Zhen Yuanzi that the other ginseng fruit was not only safe and sound, but also was beaten into the void with herself.
As for whether he got out of trouble later, or how he got out of it, I don't know.
Speaking of this, Xue Tianqing bared his teeth: "You said that there are no outsiders in the courtyard, only the breath of Bajie, so I wonder if there is any breath of ginseng fruit?" ”
Zhen Yuanzi suddenly realized: "Are you saying that after that ginseng fruit was baptized by the Heavenly Tribulation, it not only broke my ban, but also became a spirit?" ”
Xue Tianqing nodded: "Otherwise, how can you explain that there is only the breath of Bajie in the other courtyard?" You must know that this thing has entered the soil, and if you want to preserve it, you must prepare in advance. ”
Hearing this, Bajie also said: "Yes, the land has prepared many cloaks in advance, and when I shoot down one, he will cover one with a cloak." ”
Zhen Yuanzi muttered when he heard this: "No wonder, it turned out to be the ginseng fruit essence." ”
Then he got up and came to Xue Tianqing: "Do you know where he is?" ”
Xue Tianqing shook her head: "You think too highly of me, I don't know how he got out of trouble, and how do I know where he is?" But since the ginseng fruit is a thing of Wuzhuang Guan, can't you find him? ”
Seeing that Zhen Yuanzi was silent, Xue Tianqing continued: "As the ancestor of the earth immortals, there is no way for the immortal chief, so I can't do anything." In that case, how about opening the immortal long net and letting me wait for the west? ”
Zhen Yuanzi was stunned when he heard this, and only now did he realize that he didn't know why Xue Tianqing came.
Seeing Zhen Yuanzi asking, Xue Tianqing was even more surprised, didn't anyone know that he was Tang Sanzang's eldest apprentice?
Hearing that Xue Tianqing is Sanzang's eldest disciple, Zhen Yuanzi slapped the table: "Sun Wukong, you are bold!" ”
Xue Tianqing looked innocent: "I didn't expect you to know my identity either." But now you also know that the ginseng fruit was not stolen by us, and it is useless to keep us, so it is better to be a favor and let us go west. ”
Zhen Yuanzi snorted coldly: "Sun Wukong, this matter started because of Zhu Bajie, can you admit it?" ”
Seeing that Xue Tianqing blinked his eyes and didn't speak, Zhen Yuanzi continued: "If Zhu Bajie enters the other courtyard without Zhu Bajie, how can there be the loss of ginseng fruit. If you can recover the ginseng fruit, otherwise, your journey to the west will end here! ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Xue Tianqing to continue to speak, and left the hall with all the disciples with a flick of his sleeves.
Seeing everyone leaving, Bajie came to Xue Tianqing and said, "Senior brother, since there is no one to guard, why don't we also take the opportunity to escape." ”
Xue Tianqing raised her hand to the back of Bajie's head: "Go?" Where to go? Zhen Yuanzi is the ancestor of the earth immortals. Even if we hide in Lingshan, he can find the door. ”
"So what to do, where do we go to find ginseng fruit?"
Xue Tianqing pondered for a moment: "You rest with Master first, and I'll go out and see if I can find some traces." ”
Waiting for Bajie to accompany Sanzang to leave, Xue Tianqing jumped into the air, put his hand on the pergola and looked around, and finally landed his eyes on a willow tree not far north of Wuzhuang Temple.
There is nothing special about the willow tree, what is special is that the tree has a branch that has just been broken.
The next moment, Xue Tianqing had already appeared in front of the willow tree, holding the branch and looking carefully.
At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi's voice sounded from behind him: "What is this?" ”
Xue Tianqing said without looking back: "I don't know, but your apprentice shouldn't be bored to come here and break the willow branches." ”
Zhen Yuanzi pondered for a moment: "Ginseng is afraid of water and fire, if you really can't bring them back, then you will destroy it." ”
Xue Tianqing turned her head suddenly: "What the hell is a ginseng fruit?" ”
Zhen Yuanzi sighed softly, and finally only said "be careful" and floated away.
Just when Xue Tianqing looked at Zhen Yuanzi's back and was puzzled, the branches in his hands turned into stars and drifted north into a five-colored light.
Seeing this, Xue Tianqing did not hesitate, and followed with the clouds.
The five-colored light grew faster and faster, and finally almost turned into a sharp arrow and headed north, finally stopping in front of a bare mountain.
Looking at the grassless peaks, Xue Tianqing couldn't help but touch his chin: This is similar to Wuzhi Mountain.
When the first rays of sunlight shine on the earth, the five-colored light also dissipates into the invisible, and only the snow is clear in front of the mountain.
Thinking of Zhen Yuanzi's words when he was leaving, Xue Tianqing did not rush into the mountain, but opened his mind to search around.
Soon, he discovered that there was a cave not far from the top of the mountain, and although the whole mountain was extremely desolate, there was a lot of life overflowing from the cave.
Xue Tianqing closed his eyes for a moment, and then his figure appeared outside the cave in a flash.
"I know you're in there, come out."
As soon as the words fell, a voice came out of it: "Since you have followed Tang Sanzang, why do you still care about this idle matter." ”
Xue Tianqing smiled: "If you do this alone, I naturally don't care." But you shouldn't use the Eight Precepts, you should know that he is my junior brother. ”
Speaking of this, Xue Tianqing sighed: "Actually, I don't want to embarrass you, after all, I owe you a life, although I have to do it." But don't forget, the other party is the ancestor of the earth immortals, and I have no other way. ”
A moment later, a man in Tsing Yi appeared at the entrance of the cave: "Since they have left, they will never return to Wuzhuang Temple." ”
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face, Xue Tianqing smiled bitterly: "I really don't know how you got out of there." ”
The man said, "Actually, thanks to you. ”
Xue Tianqing was stunned when she heard this: "Me? I myself was dragged out of it by Master, and I don't believe that she even saved you at that time. ”
The man shook his head: "Of course not, it was the second time you opened it that I took the opportunity to leave." ”
Xue Tianqing nodded first, and then shook her head again: "I don't remember, but since I rescued you, can you give me a face and let me bring them back?" ”
The man shook his head, "If you can kill me, you can bring them back." ”
Xue Tianqing pondered for a moment: "What's your name?" ”
The man shook his head: "I am a grass and tree elf, without a father or mother, and without a name. ”
Xue Tianqing pondered for a moment: "You were born because of me, and you want to die because of me, then I will give you a name." ”
"No, if I die at your hand, you can engrave whatever you want me to do on the tombstone."
At this point, the man drew a wooden staff from the void: "But if you die under this staff, you will never know my name." ”
Xue Tianqing didn't say anything again, but held the golden hoop stick in his hand: "In that case, then come, you are for your kind, and I am also for my friend." ”
Just as the man was about to make a move, a scorching breath suddenly entered the noses of the two, and then a puff of smoke came out of the cave.
Xue Tianqing was shocked when she saw this: "How many enemies do you have?" ”
The man didn't bother to answer, turned and headed for the cave.
Although he reacted quickly, it was still not as fast as the snow was clear.
When you come to the depths of the cave, all you can see is the sky-high fire and the snowy figure.
The man gritted his teeth when he saw this, and then pounced on Xue Tianqing: "What did you do to them?" ”
Xue Tianqing stretched out his hand back without looking back, and slapped the man to the ground: "Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?" Isn't it clear to me? ”
Of course, the man knew that it was not Xue Tianqing's doing, but he could only vent his anger on the other party.
It's just that at this time, he doesn't talk about moves, so every time he gets close, he will be beaten back by Xue Tianqing.
Finally, after kicking the man out a few feet with another kick, Xue Tianqing said coldly: "If you dare to entangle, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless." ”
The man's voice was hoarse: "You know who did it, right?" ”
Xue Tianqing wanted to say that she didn't know, but in the end she nodded: "If you can't find the murderer, it's assumed that I did it." But if you do it with me now, it's like sending you to death, so it's better to find a place to cultivate well. ”
Waiting for the man to leave, Xue Tianqing looked at the fading fire and said softly: "This is a typical anticlimactic snake." ”
