Chapter 93: The Ginseng Fruit Controversy
Speaking of the spiritual root, several saints also know about it, but Hongjun Ancestor and Nuwa Niangniang are far away in Daluotian, and it is impossible to go to the lower realm for a spiritual root, not to mention that Pan Tao will lose the two of them once? Naturally, I don't care. But the Yuan Shi Tianzun of Kunlun Mountain cared very much, he pinched his fingers and counted, and said happily: "This spiritual root is rare for ten thousand years, and the beauty is probably not under the peach, if there is it, the eight disciples under the seat will soon be able to recover the body of the golden immortal!" Then he hurriedly summoned Yang Jian and Lei Zhenzi, and the two of them immediately went down the mountain to the west to find the spiritual root.
Over there, in the Bajing Palace, Duobao Dao people hurriedly came to report, saying that the peach blossoms in the peach orchard had somehow thanked most of them. Lao Tzu pinched his fingers and knew that although Bajing Palace is famous for refining the elixir, but the refining of the elixir takes time and effort, and it takes thousands of years to refine this gourd. Therefore, this spiritual root could not be handed over to others, so he immediately sent the Xuandu Archmage to find it immediately.
And on the western Sumeru Mountain, the golden lotus of the Bade Pool suddenly withered dozens of flowers, and then the sect leader pinched his fingers and sighed: "It seems that a new spiritual root was born, so the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was withdrawn, causing half of the golden lotus in the pool to be unable to bloom." The quasi-Daoist nodded and said, "This spiritual root is not far from this Sumeru Mountain, isn't it given to me by God to teach in the West?"
The four roads converged to the west from the four directions, and Yin Wugeng was the first to know the direction because of the unique magical powers of the purple bamboo immortal, and the place where the spiritual root was located was an immortal, called Wanshou Mountain. What does this mountain look like? The mountain is extremely steep, the general trend is grand, it is thousands of zhang high, and it is shrouded in clouds and mist, and it has a bit of the air of a fairy family.
"This is it!" said Zizhu Immortal standing on the head of the clouds, and everyone looked down, only to see that there was a colorful cloud on the mountainside, exuding bursts of strange fragrance. Yin Wugeng patted the lion's head, and the nine lions immediately descended from the clouds and fell into the clouds.
'Sure enough, it's a spiritual root!' Yin Wugeng fixed his eyes and saw a big tree in front of him, with a dense canopy, enough for several people to hold on to. The tree bore a lot of fruit, but the fruit looked like a child before the age of three dynasties, with all four limbs and salty features. If you look at it suddenly, you think it's a baby hanging on the tree!
Long Ji was startled when he saw it, and exclaimed, "This tree is ...... How can you marry a baby who is not yet three years old?"
Zi Yunxian looked up and said carefully, "Miss Longji, this is not a baby, but a ginseng fruit. I have heard that this ginseng fruit tree appeared once at the beginning of the world, but then the world experienced several catastrophes, and the fruit tree was unfortunately destroyed, which is a pity! ”
Yin Wugeng asked, "What's the point of this ginseng fruit?"
Ziyunxian replied: "I heard that this ginseng fruit blooms once every 3,000 years, bears fruit once every 3,000 years, and then matures after another 3,000 years, and it takes 10,000 years to eat." It was as if in ten thousand years, only thirty fruits were produced. If a man has a fate, and he gets the fruit and smells it, he will live three hundred and sixty years; Eat one, and you will live for 47,000 years. but the fruit is also staggering, and cannot be put away for a long time; If you put it for a long time, it will be stiff and you will not be able to eat. ”
"Wow! 47,000 years? Isn't it the same as the peach in Yaochi!" everyone was in an uproar when they heard this, and they looked at the fruit of the tree in a daze.
Zhen Yuanzi counted it and said, "There are thirty fruits, and it seems that no one has come here first." ”
Yin Wugeng said: "Since we are fated, why are we waiting? Zizhu Immortal, first beat five fruits for everyone to share, and feast on them." Wait for a few more to be sent to Brother Ma Sui and they will take them back. ”
Ziyunxian was about to pick it, when suddenly there was a shaking on the ground, and a mountain of earth suddenly rose and appeared in front of everyone, only to see a huge centipede burrowing out with its fangs open!
"Wow, what's the matter!" everyone was startled at the sight of such an ugly monster. This monster has a thousand legs, a thousand eyes, and a fierce spirit!
Zi Yunxian took two steps back and shouted, "Presumably, this spiritual root has a strange fragrance, so it attracted this ancient Jedi centipede! This guy is highly poisonous, be careful." ”
Long Ji pulled out the male and female swords, jumped on the back of the giant monster and cut the head, this monster is a 10,000-year-old spirit, the armor on the body is like steel, invulnerable, invulnerable, water and fire, three or five swords cut down and sparkled everywhere, no harm can be done. "What a monster!" Long Ji took advantage of the monster to jump into the air, raising his hand to sacrifice the golden Jiao scissors. This is one of the best magic weapons in the sect, but it is useless to encounter this spirit, only a piece of golden light is shot out, and it is bounced away.
"What? Jin Jiao scissors can't hurt it?" Long Ji was taken aback, and said that it was too late and that it was too fast, and the monster's hundred feet slashed at Long Ji's waist like a sickle, but fortunately, Long Ji was invulnerable in a purple silk fairy robe, and was rushed to the ground. Yin Wugeng stepped forward and held Long Ji with his palm, and said, "Be careful, let me deal with it." As he spoke, the Jedi centipede opened its terrifying mouthparts and rushed over, and Yin Wugeng only slapped it towards the sky, shaking the ten-zhang giant monster into the air.
"Out of the sheath!" I saw the fairy box on his back flicker, and the immortal sword turned into a golden light and flew out, and with a single 'click', the giant thing was broken in two. The scale armor that the golden Jiaojiao shears could not hurt was vulnerable in front of the ancient sword, and the Jedi centipede's bucket-thick body fell to the ground and twitched a few times, and then it didn't move. "Bluff!" Yin Wugeng picked up the Samadhi True Fire again and burned the monster to ashes.
After destroying the troll, Ziyunxian climbed the branch of the tree with a strong stride, and then picked a fruit, who knew that the fruit was slippery and fell to the ground and disappeared into the soil. "Huh?" Ziyunxian jumped down from the tree and looked for it but didn't find it, and suddenly slapped his head and said in annoyance: "How did I forget, this spirit fruit falls when it encounters gold, withers when it encounters wood, melts when it encounters water, burns when it encounters fire, and enters when it encounters soil." Immediately, Guan Yin Wugeng borrowed the golden whip, jumped up the tree, took out a yellow handkerchief from his arms, and used the golden whip to knock the fruit, and immediately fell on the handkerchief.
When he was young, Ziyunxian beat five fruits and gave them one to each person. Yin Wugeng took the fruit in his hand and sighed: "It is said that man is the spirit of all things, and even the fruit grows into a human appearance, which shows that what he said is true." Then he swallowed it. Over there, Long Ji, Zhen Yuanzi, Guiguzi, and Ziyunxian ate one by one, and they ate happily. So there were twenty-four of the thirty fruits left in the tree.
After eating the fairy fruit, everyone suddenly felt full, and they were refreshed, which was wonderful. Guiguzi looked around and said to Yin Wugeng: "Senior brother, this place is a barren mountain, if you just let the immortal tree here, one is disrespectful, and the other is not safe." This place is very far away from the East China Sea, it is better to set up a Taoist temple in this place to enclose the tree inside, and send one or two people to guard here, if others come, it is good to know that there is already a master here. ”
Yin Wugeng felt that what Guiguzi said was reasonable, and then said: "Yes, I think this supernatural thing is only afraid that someone in the fairy world already knows about it, and I am afraid that it will be found soon, since we have taken the lead, we don't have to give in." ”
The purple bamboo fairy immediately waved his hand, causing a bamboo forest to rise around him. Yin Wu Geng recited the mantra and summoned two Yellow Turban wrestlers from the ground, these Yellow Turban wrestlers are immortal officials in the fairy world, although the mana is not high, but the power is infinite, and it is not a problem to move mountains and trees. In a moment, a portal was formed, a courtyard was created, and an avenue led to the pass.
However, when everyone was busy, a gust of wind and thunder sounded overhead, and I saw a person flash in the clouds, and it was Lei Zhenzi who arrived first.
"Good guys, these sect interceptors are even faster than me?" Lei Zhenzi saw that the courtyard below was built, and knew that he had missed the opportunity, and with Yin Wugeng here, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to wait for Yang Jian to arrive. When he was young, three waves of people and horses came to the halfway point of this Wanshou Mountain almost at the same time.
Yin Wugeng glanced around, and there were the Xuandu Grand Master of the Eight Views Palace, Yang Jian and Lei Zhenzi of the Jade Void Palace, and Wei Hu and the Four King Kongs of Mount Meru, all of whom were staring at the ginseng fruit tree. They exchanged their heads and ears, as if they were discussing something.
Yin Wugeng thought: "I expected the people of the Sect to come back, but I didn't expect the Eight Views Palace and the Western Sect to also want a piece of the pie...... and then arched his hand towards everyone, and said loudly: "I didn't expect all of you to come to this barren mountain and remote land, presumably for this spirit tree, but I'm sorry, this tree is already my sect object!"
Lei Zhenzi snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, this tree is born to grow, why should you say that it is something that you intercept the teaching? If you call it a mouth, will it agree?" Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
Long Ji sneered at each other: "I won't agree to it, but will it agree if you call it?" This spirit tree was found by us first, and of course it should belong to us. ”
The Xuandu Grand Master said quietly: "It is true that this tree was found by Daoyou first, but the immortal tree spirit treasure has a share, and Daoyou insists that it is a thing that intercepts the teaching, which is unfair." ”
"What is fairness?" Long Ji smiled: "Those who see it have a share, and Daoyou means that everyone eats it one by one?"
Wei Hu held the demon pestle in his hand and said to Yin Wugeng and the others: "I came to see the spiritual root under the order of the sect master, this spirit tree was born in the west, and it is naturally owned by my Western sect." I advise you to leave as soon as possible, and there is no need to fight. The Four King Kongs wanted to say a few more words for Wei Hu's support, but as soon as they saw Yin Wugeng there, the four of them remembered that they had been taught a lesson by him three hundred years ago, and they suddenly didn't dare to say more.
Yin Wugeng saw that everyone clearly refused to give up, and said: "Daoist friends have their own words, and they can't talk about it for a while, and I, Yin Wugeng, don't want the three sects to hurt the harmony." But where there is no owner, whoever gets it first will naturally belong to him, this is the axiom of the world. If any Taoist friend has to deny it today, then please ask me about the sword in my hand. As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were shocked, and then they saw that Yin Wugeng was neither humble nor arrogant, his expression was calm, and Fang Cai's words were obviously not a joke.
Yang Jian and Lei Zhenzi glanced at each other, walked to the side and discussed: "Neither of you and I are his opponents, if you do it, it will definitely not be the best policy, and it will be up to the Western Sect to deal with it." ”
Over there, Wei Hu asked the opinions of the four King Kongs, and the four of them waved their hands one after another, and said in a low voice: "That Yin Wugeng is very powerful, isn't it boring to provoke him here? Wei Hu thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "If we leave like this, what will we do to go back to see the sect master?" The four of them thought it was okay and agreed.
"Yin Daoyou. Wei Hu arched his hand at Yin Wugeng and said: "Daoyou said clearly, I won't argue with you, and I will deal with you after the sect leader is revealed." Farewell!" he said, turning away. Leave the Four Great Vajra guarded.
Seeing this, Yang Jian said to Lei Zhenzi: "Senior brother, you come and go the fastest, you go back to Kunlun Mountain to see how the sect leader handles it." Lei Zhenzi immediately shook his wings and flew away.
Seeing that the Explanation Sect and the Western Sect had each gone to tell the sect leader, the Xuandu Archmage couldn't be the master anymore, so he had to return to the Bajing Palace to tell Lao Tzu.
Yin Wugeng glanced at the Four King Kongs and chuckled, "The four of you still refuse to leave?"
The four great King Kongs were embarrassed for a while, and they all arched their hands and said, "This ...... The sect leader has an order, how dare he disobey it? "Yes, please Brother Yin, don't embarrass me. ”
Yin Wugeng waved his hand and summoned four Yellow Turban wrestlers to each side to protect the ginseng fruit tree, ignoring the four of them, and only called Long Ji, Zizhu Immortal and Guigu Two Immortals to the side to discuss, "The Explanation Sect and the Western Sect, and the Eight Views Palace have all gone back to tell the sect master, if what I expected is right, in a while, the four major sect masters will come here, how will you and I deal with it?"
Guiguzi asked, "Will the four sect masters come in person because of this ginseng fruit tree?"
Yin Wugeng nodded, clasped his hands and said: "The twelve golden immortals under the Interpretation Throne have all become mortal bodies, and they urgently need spiritual objects to return to the immortal body. As for Lao Tzu of the Eight Views Palace, although he is not in a hurry to need this ginseng fruit, but if he has mastered this spiritual root, coupled with his own elixir, he can compete with the peach of the heavenly court, and he does not have to look at the face of the heavenly court from now on. I don't think he's going to sit idly by. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, because the Interception Sect really did not have the strength to compete with the other three sects at the moment, and no matter who came, it would be a big trouble.
"Senior Brother Yin......" Long Ji bit his lip and said slowly: "Why don't we let it go, while the four sect masters are not here, we will beat three more fruits for Lingxi and them to bring back, and let them fight for the rest." ”
"No, I can't. Yin Wugeng shook his head, "If we leave like this, I'm afraid that the sect will never be able to raise its head in the immortal world in the future." We didn't steal or rob, why did we leave? I, Yin Wugeng, will wait for the four major sect masters to arrive and see if these saints are all unreasonable. ”
Long Ji sighed lightly, "Senior Brother Yin, you should know best that the truth is always in the hands of those victors, and those saints will not really reason with you." ”
"I know. Yin Wugeng comforted Long Ji, but it was really not Yin Wugeng's style to retreat from the battle, so he could only gamble. "I can only gamble at the moment, I bet that these saints will not fight immediately for this spiritual root, even if they want to rob it, they must have a decent way to rob it. ”
As Yin Wugeng expected, about half a pillar of incense, the two saints of the Western Sect came first. I saw two great immortals coming barefoot, wearing pale yellow monk's robes, the person who received the Taoist was holding a string of prayer beads in his hand, a whisk in his right hand, and the Buddha light was three feet behind his head; As soon as the two arrived, the light shone halfway up the mountain, and the Buddha was angry.
A scramble is inevitable......
