In the Wuzhuang view, Zhen Yuanzi looked at the seventeen humanoid seeds on the table and stood for a long time.

Finally, he took a deep breath: "You just let him go?" ”

Xue Tianqing nodded: "I don't have a deep grudge against him, why do I have to take his life." ”

"And what are you going to do next?"

Xue Tianqing smiled: "I can't afford to pay for the ginseng fruit, if you think this is not enough, then you can do it yourself." It's a big deal that our master and apprentice will leave their lives here and go to the West Heaven in the next life. ”

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and said, "The fruit will grow again in a while, as long as it doesn't fall outside." ”

Hearing this, Xue Tianqing frowned.

He just wanted to ask, but he heard Zhen Yuanzi say: "Today is a good life to rest, and tomorrow the poor road will personally practice for you." ”

After speaking, he arched his hand towards Xue Tianqing and strode away.

At noon the next day, Zhen Yuanzi led his disciples to hold a banquet in the hall and personally entertained the Sanzang master and apprentice.

In addition to vegetarian rice, he also ordered someone to take down a ginseng vegetarian fruit and send it to the Sanzang master and apprentice to taste.

Seeing that the ginseng fruit on the plate was not much different from the one on TV, Xue Tianqing looked at Zhen Yuanzi suspiciously.

"This is the ginseng fruit, after the poor Dao removed the spiritual power that the holy monk could not withdraw, it became what it is today."

Speaking of this, Zhen Yuanzi looked slightly apologetic: "The ginseng fruit is ripe once every ten thousand years, and it only bears thirty pieces each time, plus the accident the day before yesterday, so the poor road can only give three of them, don't laugh at me for being stingy." ”

Then Zhen Yuanzi ordered Qingfeng to use a strange knife to cut the ginseng fruit into three parts and bring it to the master and apprentice.

Last night, Xue Tianqing had already told Sanzang and Bajie what were the benefits of eating ginseng fruit, so after seeing this thing today, Sanzang was not afraid, but a little excited.

Xue Tianqing was different, his eyes never left the knife in Qingfeng's hand, because this knife was actually made of plastic!

Seeing that Qingfeng was about to take the knife away, Xue Tianqing smiled: "Immortal Chief, what is this knife made of, why have I never seen it?" ”

Hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi said to Qingfeng: "Take a look at the fairy knife and the guests." ”

Waiting for Xue Tianqing to take the knife, Zhen Yuanzi said again: "The ginseng fruit melts when it encounters water, withers when it encounters wood, falls when it encounters gold, enters when it encounters soil, and burns when it encounters fire, so it is extremely troublesome to eat." Seven hundred years ago, a deceased person gave this thing to me, and Wuzhuang Guan had a fairy knife that could cut ginseng fruit. ”

Xue Tianqing turned the plastic knife over and over for a long time, and finally returned it to Qingfeng.

Zhen Yuanzi noticed the strangeness of Xue Tianqing: "Elder Sun knows this? ”

Xue Tianqing shook her head: "I've never seen it before, that's why I feel fresh." Forgive me Meng Lang, although the Immortal Chief calls it an immortal knife, I think it may not be as good as an ordinary weapon. ”

Zhen Yuanzi laughed when he heard this: "That's right, the so-called fairy knife is only for ginseng fruit." I also asked the deceased how to make this knife, but he said that it was a very ordinary thing. ”

"Immortal Chief, who is your deceased surname, and where are you now?"

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head: "I haven't seen him since I said goodbye seven hundred years ago, and I don't know where he went." ”

Xue Tianqing was disappointed when she heard this, but her face did not change at all.

Then, he raised a glass of vegetarian wine, tapped his lips, and thanked Zhen Yuanzi for his hospitality.

After the banquet, the Sanzang master and apprentice got up to say goodbye, and Zhen Yuanzi led the disciples to the foot of Wanshou Mountain.

It wasn't until he couldn't see Sanzang and the others that Zhen Yuanzi sighed and led his disciples back to the mountain.

At the same time, the snow on the way west is also looking back at Wanshou Mountain.

Seeing this, Sanzang asked, "Wukong, is there anything wrong with Wuzhuang Guan?" ”

Xue Tianqing shook her head and said, "I just think that this matter is not over, maybe Zhen Yuanzi knows it, but he refuses to speak easily." ”

Seeing Sanzang's brows furrowed, Xue Tianqing smiled again: "Zhen Yuanzi is the ancestor of the earth immortals, and even he can't solve it, what can you and I do." It's better to hurry as soon as possible than to add to your troubles. ”

Sanzang nodded yes, then opened his mind and urged his mount to go straight to Lingshan.

Xue Tianqing beckoned Bajie to follow quickly, and he drove the cloud head to lead the way in front of his head.

In the next month or so, the three of them wore stars and moons, day and night, and walked thousands of miles away.

On this day, when I was walking, I suddenly saw a big river blocking the road, and I don't know how many times I went up and down, and the opposite bank was far away in the sky.

Sanzang grabbed his mount and raised his eyes into the distance, and couldn't help but secretly admire: What a big river.

But I saw that the smoke and waves were vast, the vastness was boundless, the sound of the water was like thunder, and the waves crashed on the shore.

After watching for a long time, Sanzang asked, "Wukong, where is this?" ”

I didn't want to shout a few times and didn't get a response, and when I turned my head, I found that Xue Tianqing was looking at the stone monument by the river in a daze.

At this moment, Bajie also rushed up with his luggage: "Master, this river is so wide." ”

Xue Tianqing finally came back to her senses: "Master, it's not early today, so let's find a place to spend the night first." ”

Seeing Sanzang nodding, Xue Tianqing jumped into the air and saw a village more than ten miles away from the southeast.

So he fell from the clouds and told Bajie to take Sanzang to spend the night, and he came later.

After the two left, Xue Tianqing came to the stele again and looked at the handwriting on it in a daze: 800 quicksand realm, 3,000 weak water depth, goose feathers can't float, and the reed flowers sink at the bottom!

For a long time, Xue Tianqing involuntarily touched his chin: Why is the quicksand river here, the Wuzhuang view has passed, why did the quicksand river come?

The Roller Shutter General only returned to Heavenly Court not long ago, could it be that he has been relegated here for a few months?

Just when Xue Tianqing was puzzled, Bajie's voice came from afar: "Senior brother, go back to the donor's house to rest first, I'm afraid the quicksand river won't be able to cross for a while." ”

"How?"

"Let's go back to the donor's house."

The village that I saw just now was called Zuojiazhuang, and ninety percent of the residents in the village were surnamed Zuo.

Now Sanzang is staying at the owner's house, and it is said that this person is the first person to be kind and charitable within a radius of dozens of miles.

When Xue Tianqing arrived, the owner of the village was talking with Sanzang, and he was extremely fascinated by the anecdotes of the outside world.

The old and young of the Zuo family were preparing vegetarian food for the three of them, and after seeing Xue Tianqing and Bajie, they all greeted each other warmly.

Seeing Xue Tianqing enter the house, the owner of the village hurriedly got up and saluted, claiming to have seen the elders.

Xue Tianqing touched her hair, and then showed a hint of helplessness: Is she so like a monk?

When everyone sat down again, the owner of the left village still asked Sanzang to tell what he saw and heard along the road.

After hearing that the prosperity of Datang is difficult to describe in words, he even revealed a longing.

When I was young, my family came in to report that the meal was ready and invited the guests to take their seats.

The owner got up and said "please", and then accompanied the Sanzang master and apprentice to the restaurant.

Looking at the table full of dishes, not to mention Sanzang and Bajie, even Xue Tianqing couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Although the food was far more sumptuous than expected, the owner still apologized, saying that the preparation was too hasty and the hospitality was too casual.

The three of them all smiled bitterly when they heard this, if this is called casual, then how can it be considered official?

No wonder Bajie said that he was the most benevolent person, and this is not wrong at all.

Just now, the owner of the village has been chatting with Sanzang about the outside climate, and Xue Tianqing has no chance to ask about the quicksand river.

Now Sanzang and Bajie began to eat, and he said the doubts in his heart.

The owner sighed softly when he heard this, and then slowly explained the origin of the quicksand river.

According to the older generation, the original Liusha River was not only not as wide as it is now, but also rich in fish and shrimp.

At that time, the villagers had no one to farm, because as long as they drove a small boat and made a few nets, it was enough for the whole family to eat and drink for a few days.

Even in winter, when the ice on the river is chiseled, you can still eat and drink without worrying about going down the net.

But no one would have thought that one night, rolling thunder suddenly sounded in the direction of the quicksand river, followed by the earth shaking and the mountains shaking.

It's just that everyone is afraid of danger, so no one dares to venture out to find out.

It wasn't until the next day that everything was normal and someone went out to check, only to find that the quicksand river had become what it is today.

The quicksand river has changed dramatically, the people have suffered, and I don't know how many people have lost their lives overnight.

If Zuojiazhuang wasn't far enough away from the quicksand river, it would definitely be difficult to escape.

Just when everyone was rejoicing for their lives, they found that after the great change, there were not only no fish and shrimp in the quicksand river, but also nothing floated.

Whether it is a person or an object, as long as they enter it, they will all fall to the bottom of the water and disappear.

Seeing that it was no longer possible to feed from the river, everyone could only turn their attention to the surrounding farmland.

Fortunately, the land where Zuojiazhuang is located is fertile and the output is good, so after the initial difficulties, the people's lives are even better than they were at the beginning.

So I don't know when it began, a legend began to circulate in Zuojiazhuang: the reason why the quicksand river became like this is the will of the Buddha, in order to let the people be diligent in farming and live a better life.

Because of this, every household in the village began to worship the Buddha, and it has become a well-known village of benevolence.

It's just that after the great change of the quicksand river, crossing the river has become the biggest problem, except for the winter when the water surface freezes and you can come and go freely, you can only look at the water and sigh at other times.

After listening to the owner's story, Xue Tianqing frowned: "When did the quicksand river change?" ”

The owner of the village groaned for a while: "According to the time, it should be more than 700 years." ”

Xue Tianqing was stunned when he heard this: since going down the mountain, more than 700 years have appeared too often, what happened at that time?

Half an hour later, after everyone finished their fast, the owner ordered someone to remove the remnants of the table and accompany the three of them to continue chatting.

However, at this time, his attention shifted from Sanzang to Xue Tianqing.

Because from beginning to end, he never touched the dishes and chopsticks when he saw Xue Tianqing.

After hearing that the snow was sunny and did not eat the fireworks in the world, the owner of the village was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Elder Sun turned out to be an immortal!" ”

Xue Tianqing waved his hand and said: "The owner of the village is in love, and he just learned a few techniques from the masters outside the world, and he can't afford the word immortal." ”

A hint of disappointment flashed on the owner's face when he heard this, but then he returned to normal.

Although Xue Tianqing was suspicious when he saw this, the surface was still as usual.

After a while, the owner personally led the three of them to the guest room, and then turned to leave.

Looking at the back of the owner, Xue Tianqing said without looking back: "Bajie, guard the master well tonight, I'll go outside for a walk." ”
