The candles in the hall flickered, the huge pillars were bathed in the firelight, and the dragon-shaped reliefs seemed to come to life.

The Taoist disciple who was prostrate on the ground leaned over and slowly raised his head, quietly staring at Zhen Yuanzi, who was sitting motionless.

After a long time, he asked softly, "Master, what should I do next?" I'm afraid that the demon monkey is going to be in trouble. Shouldn't we...... Should I ask Sanqing for help?"

Hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi slowly shook his head, stroked his long beard and said, "What's the use of asking Sanqing for help? As soon as we met, the teacher had already probed the strength of that monkey. Although the Heavenly Dao cultivation has been lost, compared to the time when he fought with his master in the underworld, I am afraid that his strength has increased unabated. Even if Sanqing comes, I'm afraid I can only be helpless. Besides, if they really want to make a move, they have already made a move, so why wait for my Wuzhuang Guan to ask for help?"

"So what should we do next?"

"Gather all the disciples. Holding his knees, Zhen Yuanzi slowly stood up against the wind outside the hall, his face indifferent.

......

In the room, there was a loud "bang", and the two door panels were kicked out directly and slammed into the opposite wall. For a while, the furniture in the house was damaged a lot.

The monkey quickly rushed into Xuanzang's room with a canopy and a little white dragon.

At this time, Xuanzang was sitting upright on the couch holding the scriptures in his hand and studying them carefully by candlelight. In the other hand, he still held the uneaten half of the ginseng fruit.

Seeing everyone rushing in, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

Before he could speak, the monkey had already slapped the ginseng fruit in Xuanzang's hand to the ground with an arrow step, grasped the vein of his left hand, and closed his eyes to investigate carefully. At the same time, Tianpeng also came to Xuanzang's side in an arrow step. He took the vein of his right hand.

The two of them dragged Xuanzang to death left and right.

At this moment, Xuanzang was completely stunned.

"Happen...... What's going on?"

"Spit out the ginseng fruit. ”

"Huh?"

"Spit out all the ginseng fruits!"

The monkey shouted violently, reached out and grabbed Xuanzang's collar.

On the side, Tianpeng hurriedly restrained him and said, "It's useless to spit it out." The ginseng fruit melts in the mouth, and the aura has already entered the body. Let's think of other solutions. ”

"Other solutions......" Turning his head, the monkey looked at the little white dragon behind him, and asked sharply, "How do you know that eating ginseng fruit requires spiritual power?"

Xiao Bailong was so frightened that he hurriedly shook his head and said, "This is, this is what I asked the third sister." ”

"Third sister?" The monkey's eyes slowly narrowed into a slit: "Xihai Ao Cunxin?"

Xiao Bailong nodded in panic and said, "In the past, my brother-in-law once asked for a ginseng fruit from Zhen Yuanzi for Sister Yang Chan. I also asked for the way to eat. The third sister once heard Sister Yang Chan talk about it...... I also felt a little uncomfortable just after eating, so I remembered to use the jade slip to ask the third sister. ”

The corner of the monkey's eyes twitched violently, and he gritted his teeth and spitted: "Damn, sure enough, Zhen Yuanzi did it on purpose! Just play stupid!"

As he spoke, he slammed his palm on the round table beside him.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the round table made of solid wood turned into sawdust and filled the entire room, frightening the little white dragon to retreat again and again, and even the black bear spirit who rushed over after hearing the news was stunned on the spot.

Xiao Bailong forced a smile and persuaded with some apprehension: "Great Sage, you don't have to be so angry, right...... It's not a big deal. It can be resolved with just a little movement. It's not really poisoned. ”

But after saying that, he found that the expressions of the monkey and the canopy were still very solemn.

As for Xuanzang, it is still unclear.

His eyes widened. The monkey said angrily: "This is even stricter than poisoning!"

......

At this time, sixty or seventy Taoists from Wuzhuang Temple had gathered in the main hall.

The two Taoists were working together to carry a bamboo basket through the process, distributing the small blue packages contained in the bamboo basket to the Taoists.

Those Taoists who got the package all looked dazed.

Zhen Yuanzi, who was standing on the main seat, stroked his long beard, sighed lightly and said, "The elixir magic weapon in this package, as well as the ginseng fruit, should be a gift for the teacher to give you." In the future. You have to practice hard to live up to your expectations as a teacher. ”

"What's going on?"

"I don't know. My brother just called me over. ”

"Master, is this going to drive us down the mountain?"

The Taoists looked at each other one by one, not knowing why.

Took a deep breath. Zhen Yuanzi continued: "That demon monkey will come to find the old man soon." In order to avoid harming the pond fish, the master ordered you to go down the mountain immediately, and no matter what happened to the Taoist temple, you were not allowed to come back. ”

As soon as these words came out, even the Taoist disciples who were no longer aware of it had already realized that a serious change had occurred.

The entire hall suddenly felt dead silent.

After a long time, a small voice like a mosquito in the crowd asked, "Master let us go, what about ...... What's going to happen to Wuzhuang Guan next?"

There was no answer.

The entire hall was so silent that only the sound of the whirring wind passing through the window was left.

The two Taoist disciples carrying the bamboo basket took out the package from the basket and handed it to the people on both sides, only to find that no one reached out to take it anymore.

All the Taoist disciples stared blankly at Zhen Yuanzi, who was standing on the main seat, with a stunned face.

After a long time, a disciple whispered: "How is this possible, the master is the ancestor of the earth immortals, even Sanqing has to give the master a few thin noodles, how is it possible...... Who can force the master to such a field?"

"It's the demon monkey today. ”

"Who is he?"

"King of Ten Thousand Demons Monkey King ......"

An atmosphere of extreme pessimism spread quickly.

Perhaps not everyone present had seen the earth-shattering battle more than 600 years ago, but they had all heard it more or less. What's more, they wouldn't think that Zhen Yuanzi, who had always been strict, would play such a strange joke with them.

Gradually, the disciples began to whisper.

"We're all gone, what will happen to the Taoist temple?"

"Perhaps, it will be burned, along with the ginseng fruit tree. ”

"How is this possible...... The ginseng fruit tree is a godsend. The demon monkey ......"

"He's got that kind of temperament. Back then, didn't he burn the Moon Tree in Heavenly Court and the thousands of palaces? Even the Golden Crow was killed by him once, what else could he not do?"

In the midst of the uproar. One of the Taoist disciples suddenly "pounced" and knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "One day is a teacher, and a father for life, and the disciple is willing to live and die with the Taoist temple!"

Before the words fell, the surrounding Taoists also dropped their packages one by one, knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly: "The disciple is willing to live and die with the Taoist temple!"

Only for a while. The Taoists in the hall all knelt together, crying and shouting one by one begging Zhen Yuanzi to let them stay.

"Hold on!"

With a shout, suddenly, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone looked at Zhen Yuanzi in a daze.

I saw him purse his lips. He said sharply at the top of his voice: "That demon monkey, it's not something you can deal with, even if you stay, it's just a matter of increasing casualties." ”

Pointing in the direction of the gate, Zhen Yuanzi roared: "Take the package, for the sake of the master's order, you will go down the mountain immediately! Get out of here! This is the master's order, and it cannot be violated! If a cultivator can't even think of such a simple truth." After all these years as a teacher, I have taught in vain! In the future, don't mention to others that I am a disciple of Wuzhuang Guan!"

Let's talk about it. Zhen Yuanzi flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

All the Taoists in the hall were stunned.

......

"Great Sage, it's really not a big deal. In the attic, the little white dragon said cautiously: "It's just that the meridians are disordered, and I just transferred it in less than a stick of incense." ”

Hear the words. The monkey snorted coldly and said, "You use the internal breath tune, what tune does he use?"

This question. Immediately the little white dragon was stunned.

The face of the canopy on the side became more and more ugly.

Xuanzang reached out and touched his chest, and said softly: "The poor monk feels that there is nothing wrong with it." ”

"It just hasn't happened yet. Just ate it, not so fast. Holding the golden hoop stick, the monkey stared at his round eyes and laughed slowly, and sighed leisurely: "This Zhen Yuanzi is deliberately set up. You have neither become a Buddha nor practiced Taoist exercises, so where does your inner breath come from? This is to force you to either let go of your obsession and become a Buddha on the ground. Either...... Abandon the Buddha and follow the way. ”

After silently perceiving himself, Xuanzang asked with some doubts: "Meridian disorder, if it is not treated, what will happen?"

Tianpeng on the side said softly: "First his limbs were cold, his speech stammered, then he was weak, and finally his whole body was paralyzed, his mouth could not speak, his eyes could not see, and his ears could not hear. It's like a dead man. ”

The consequences of this Yan zhòng were spoken, but Xuanzang only frowned, and after a long time, he asked softly: "Then, how long does the poor monk have left?"

"A year at most, three months at a minimum. If you cultivate, it's still too late. To pranayama, you don't need to be very profound. It's just that this westward journey can't continue. ”

"I think he's tired of life!" said the monkey, turning his head and leaving.

"Where are you going?" asked Tianpeng quickly.

Stopping at the door, the monkey turned back and said, "Where else can I go?" and get the perpetrator here, he must have a way to solve it." ”

"But, is he willing to solve it?" Looking at the monkey, Tianpeng said slowly: "Zhen Yuanzi is also a Taoist power, and it is impossible to do things without proportion. Since he just risked provoking you to do this, he either had something to do. Or, or they have already made up their minds to burn the jade. ”

The monkey snorted coldly, strode across the threshold, turned into a golden light and soared straight into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it fell to another place in the Wuzhuang Temple.

......

In the breeze, the giant tree that radiates a little light like a firefly slowly swayes its branches, and among the green leaves, a ginseng fruit is faintly visible.

Under the tree, Zhen Yuanzi stood quietly.

After a long time, he lowered his head slightly and sighed with a smile: "Coming?"

Behind him, the monkey pointed a golden rod at the back of his head and said sharply: "Give you two choices, either hand over the rescue solution, or, hand over your life and pick one!"

Turning around slowly, Zhen Yuanzi raised his head with his long beard and said, "The poor Dao also gives Master Xuanzang two choices, either to become a Buddha on the ground, or to abandon the Buddha and follow the Tao." (To be continued)
