Chapter 24: Ginseng Fruit
In the forest, a ring of water bubbles surrounds the clearing.
Sun Wukong stretched out his hand and patted it on the blister, splashing a drizzle-like wave.
He was silent for a long time: "We did it for a day, just to change the appearance?"
"Appearance matters. ”
Zhenyuan Daxian said: "Otherwise, how can mortals know the greatness of the spirit net?"
Sun Wukong was speechless.
Zhenyuan Daxian looked at the blister with satisfaction: "Beautiful, stable, and safe enough, if the two of us want to complete the spirit net, it is impossible without a few years of hard work." ”
Sun Wukong nodded: "It can be completed in ten years, which is already a great luck." ”
"Ao Luan. ”
Sun Wukong turned around and instructed Ao Luan: "Set up a banquet in the Water Curtain Cave, I want to entertain the great immortals." ”
"Yes. ”
Ao Luan immediately went down.
"Virtuous brother!"
Zhenyuan Daxian and Sun Wukong checked the blisters, and then walked towards the Water Curtain Cave: "I talked to you for two days, and I found that you have unique ideas, I have some Taoist problems, I don't know if I can ask you to give some advice." ”
"Of course. ”
Sun Wukong nodded.
He is happy to communicate with Zhenyuan Daxian, and only with communication can there be progress.
Returning to the water curtain cave, Sun Wukong pointed out the location of the cave entrance to Zhenyuan Daxian.
Zhenyuan Daxian looked up, but saw a kite flying above the waterfall that was rushing down.
"Brother Xian. ”
Zhenyuan Daxian was full of surprise: "You monster in Huaguo Mountain is really different from the outside world, courtship and write love poems, and use kites to send them!"
Sun Wukong looked at the kite, and it really wrote a messy love poem on it.
His brows furrowed, the object of the love poem was the fox, I don't know which demon king was so creative that he actually used a kite to confess.
It's a pity that the kite flew in the wrong place.
"Go. ”
Sun Wukong stretched out his hand, and the kite in the sky was suddenly swept by the wind and flew to the sea.
Sun Wukong didn't pay attention to the fool who was hanging under the kite and swept away together, and invited Zhenyuan Daxian into the Water Curtain Cave.
Ao Luan had already prepared a feast in the Water Curtain Cave.
After the two took their seats, the demon kings came to toast one after another.
They learned the identity of Zhenyuan Daxian from Ao Luan, so they naturally didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhenyuan Daxian began to ask Sun Wukong for Taoism.
"I see, and this method ......"
Under the gaze of the demon kings, Zhenyuan Daxian kept nodding his head, showing a sincere desire for advice in front of Sun Wukong.
This surprised the demon kings again.
Of course, Zhenyuan Daxian's Dao attainments will not lose to Sun Wukong.
However, no matter how deep the Taoism is, it can't compare to Sun Wukong's ideas, Sun Wukong casually said that it is the inspiration he got from the book of heaven, which can often make Zhenyuan Daxian's eyes shine.
Zhenyuan Great Immortal was full of thoughts, and regretted that he did not make friends with Sun Wukong earlier.
This monkey's way of thinking is cautious and rigorous, and it is fundamentally different from ordinary people!
"The words of the virtuous brother are comparable to my hundred years of understanding. ”
Zhenyuan Daxian couldn't help but sigh, he got up and pulled Sun Wukong: "Let's go, Brother Xian will go back with me tonight, and we will talk by candle." ”
Sun Wukong was stunned: "You can stay in the Water Curtain Cave for a night." ”
"Your water curtain cave is good at everything, but it is a stone table and a stone bed, which is not as good as my Wuzhuang Temple!"
Zhenyuan Daxian couldn't help but say, and left with Sun Wukong.
Ao Luan looked at their backs and puffed out his mouth angrily.
"Then why is the Great Immortal so excessive!"
The demon kings knew her mind and didn't dare to say much.
And Zhenyuan Daxian pulled Sun Wukong back to Wuzhuang Temple, and immediately let the fairy children serve tea.
"Shangxian, please use tea. ”
The fairy children reluctantly handed the tea to Sun Wukong.
The youngest fairy child in Wuzhuang Guan is also hundreds of years old, and Sun Wukong is on an equal footing with Zhenyuan Daxian at a young age, and those fairy children are of course not convinced.
Sun Wukong knew their thoughts, but he didn't take them to heart.
Taoism has never been based on age.
Sun Wukong and Zhenyuan Daxian talked about the scriptures and pointed out to each other, both of them were great immortals, but they didn't sleep all night.
The two chatted happily, and before they knew it, the light outside covered the candlelight in the room.
"It's dawn. ”
Zhenyuan Daxian came back to his senses and sighed in his heart.
As long as he can have a confidant in life, he is satisfied, and since Hongmeng opened the world, he has never seen such a smart and like-minded brother.
Zhenyuan Daxian called Xiantong and gave an order, Xiantong went out and went in again, and changed a new cup of tea for Sun Wukong.
"Brother Xian, after drinking this tea, let's go to Huaguo Mountain again. ”
Zhenyuan Daxian said.
Sun Wukong nodded, picked up the teacup and drank it, but his face was surprised.
"It's ......"
He looked down at the teacup, and the remaining half of the cup seemed to be shining.
"It's soaked in ginseng fruit. ”
Zhenyuan Daxian said: "Your words have inspired me a lot, and I asked someone to pick a ginseng fruit to entertain you." ”
Sun Wukong was shocked in his heart, the ginseng fruit - Zhenyuan Daxian actually soaked the ginseng fruit in water for him to drink!
It is also said that ginseng fruit falls when it encounters gold, withers when it encounters wood, melts when it encounters water, burns when encounters fire, and enters when encountering soil. According to the record of "Journey to the West", the dissolution of water is the correct way to eat ginseng fruit.
"Brother Xian, what are you doing in a daze, drink it quickly. ”
Zhenyuan Daxian stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "The ginseng fruit can't be left for a long time, and it's best to drink it before dawn." ”
Sun Wukong frowned slightly, the ginseng fruit blooms once in three thousand years, bears fruit once in three thousand years, and will mature in another three thousand years, and it is said that you can live for 47,000 years if you eat one.
He originally had the art of immortality, and forty thousand years was not a problem for him.
It's just that the underworld doesn't know that he has the art of immortality, and will send black and white impermanence to arrest him in the future - this ginseng fruit is eaten, but I don't know if the underworld knows it.
In case the prefecture knows that black and white impermanence will not dare to come, won't there be no chance to tick the book of life and death in the future?
Sun Wukong's mind was in a hurry, and he quickly picked up the teacup and poured it into his mouth.
I'll plan for the future - if you don't eat something good, he's not a fool!
After eating the ginseng fruit, Sun Wukong's eyes flashed, and he felt that the root of his body was becoming more and more stable.
"Great goodness. ”
Zhenyuan Daxian was delighted.
It is normal for people to treat each other politely, and as a reward for recovering himself, Zhenyuan Daxian gave Sun Wukong a ginseng fruit, and was not afraid of being caught by others in his braids.
