152 times, greed and hatred cause and effect, once interrupted the root of trouble

At dusk on the third day after Zhen Yuanzi led the crowd away, a group of people walked outside the valley. A lean old horse with a red date, a monk of about thirty years old sat on the iron saddle bridge, with upright facial features and a very peaceful expression. There was a disciple leading the horse in front of him, this man with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek was less than five feet tall, his eyes were shining and flickering, he wore a hat inlaid with gold flowers, and a red and yellow cotton cloth jacket, which he wore on him as if it had been stolen.

A fat-headed and big-eared man followed the horse, shouting as he walked: "Senior brother, how long will this road go? I don't even have a place to rest, I'm hungry!"

Finally, a young novice who carried the burden answered: "There is still a long way to go from this land to the Brahmanical kingdom." ”

The monk immediately said: "The road is not far and near, as long as you see the sincerity of your ambition and the place where you look back, it is the spiritual mountain." ”

The monkey head leading the horse in front said: "This way, the master will speak, every sentence is sharp, and he should not eat, there is a big manor in front, just go to spend the night, and tomorrow will be over the mountain." ”

The monk dismounted and walked, looked at the manor and said, "This is not an ordinary atmosphere, it is very inhabited. ”

The monkey head stretched out his neck and probed his brain to look at it a few times and said, "There is no trace of evil spirit, it should be a place for monks to live in seclusion." ”

"That's right, this place was built by the ancestor of the immortals, Zhen Yuanzi, naturally it is not an ordinary manor, where did the elders come from?" Someone in front of the manor answered, only to see that the gate had been opened, and out of a feather-clad boy and a little girl, it was the breeze and the bright moon.

The monk stepped forward and said: "I am Xuanzang, a monk of the Tang Dynasty, who traveled west to seek the Dharma and passed through Guibao Mountain, and saw the sun set in the west, can I spend the night?"

Qingfeng arched his hand: "You are Xuanzang? This manor is a place of fate, please come in." ”

Qingfeng Yingxuanzang and the others entered Wuguanzhuang, Mingyue pulled his sleeve behind him and asked in a low voice: "Brother Qingfeng, what is that thing leading the horse? Immortals are not like immortals, Bodhisattvas are not like Bodhisattvas?"

Qingfeng said quietly with a solemn face: "Don't talk nonsense, this person has the incorruptible body of King Kong and the immortal body of the Golden Immortal, his cultivation is quite good, and his origin is quite peculiar, even I can't see the clues." These four people are all good at cultivation, and the fat man is also the transformation of the Golden Immortal Wheel, but he is a little nondescript, and even the thin horse is also transformed by the divine dragon. ”

As he spoke, he walked through the second door to the main hall. I saw the words heaven and earth hanging on the central mountain screen, and a pair of gold bottles were placed on the carved lacquer table below. Xuanzang was a little puzzled, stopped to worship under the word heaven and earth, turned around and asked Qingfeng: "The master here is also a monk, why only worship the word heaven and earth?"

Qingfeng: "Then you have to ask Zhenyuan Daxian himself, he is known as the ancestor of the earth immortals, and he doesn't know who to respect, so he only serves heaven and earth." ”

Xuanzang's eldest apprentice, Heart Ape Wukong, said: "What a big breath." Isn't it possible to start with the beginning?"

Xuanzang reprimanded: "Fengtian and earth, which means that you have been living for a long time, you have to talk nonsense." ”

At this time, Mingyue poked her head out from behind Qingfeng and asked, "Xuanzang, what kind of law are you taking these people to ask for?"

Xuanzang replied with a smile: "Far away is like coming, and the near light is the law." ”

Heart Ape Wukong pointed to Qingfeng and Mingyue and asked, "Who are you two?"

Qingfeng: "My name is Qingfeng. She is Mingyue, a boy from the Yam Garden in Kunlun Wonderland, and she is entrusted by Zhenyuan Daxian to guard here. ”

Xuanzang saw that his master was not at home, so he didn't bother much. Asked the big apprentice Heart Ape Wukong to rest the horse, and the second apprentice Zhu Baliang untied the burden and took some rice grain to borrow the stove in the village to cook, and the husband Zhishu helped to light the fire. The three entourage disciples were all busy, and Xuanzang sat down in the hall to rest.

At this time, Qingfeng brought in another tray, and there were two fruits on the yellow silk, which were about seven inches long, with limbs and torsos like a child's human shape, Qingfeng handed the tray to the monk and said, "Master Xuanzang." The owner of this place, Zhenyuan Daxian, and you were old friends in your previous life, and I heard that you are going to pass by here, so I gave alms with two vegetarian fruits. Now that he is gone, I will deliver the message on my behalf. ”

Xuanzang looked at the fruit and was taken aback: "This thing is extraordinary, smell its breath, and sweep away the evil aura around the body, what is it?"

Qingfeng: "The elder has good eyesight, and this fruit is called Grass Returning Dan." The nature is cold to pure. No mortal can take it, not even if there is a wound in the body. It has the power of purifying the furnace, and the person who takes it is not stained by the poisonous obstacles of the five elements. And here the grass is not ordinary, between heaven and earth, the fairy spirit nourishes 10,800 years before it becomes, and the fruit appears in the human body, and the service has the wonder of transforming and prolonging life. He introduced the wonders of returning the herb and how to take it.

Xuanzang stood up and shook his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, and please convey your gratitude to the master here on my behalf, but the poor monks dare not take these treasures lightly." ...... It is not uncommon to give some water and rice, but the monks should not accept it. ”

No matter how Qingfeng persuaded him, Xuanzang just shook his head and excused himself, seeing that he was resolute, Qingfeng didn't persuade anymore, only sighed: "If you don't accept it, I can't force it, Zhenyuan Daxian will return soon, and he may chase you on the road, and then you can explain it to him, it's not that I didn't pass on the word to do things." ”

Qingfeng went out with the grass and Dan, and happened to meet Zhixu who had prepared a meal and brought it to Xuanzang, and when he saw Qingfeng going out, Zhixu stood sideways and was very polite. Qingfeng greeted and asked, "Who are you?"

Zhi Shu replied: "Buddhism is a novice." ”

Qingfeng came to the quiet room in the back hall, and saw Mingyue jumping around on the table, chair and bench very happily. There were no buildings in the field of smelling drunken yams, and Mingyue had never seen these objects before. After transplanting the spiritual root of heaven and earth to this place, the immortal immortal spirit that gathered shrouded the entire Wuguanzhuang inside and outside, and Mingyue was very novel to run around these days.

Qingfeng beckoned: "Mingyue, don't play, come and eat the grass and return the pill, after a while, the fruit will be stiff and have no medicinal properties." ”

Mingyue jumped off the table and asked curiously, "That monk didn't eat grass and returned the pill?"

Qingfeng: "Yes, he doesn't eat, and he doesn't want to be favored for no reason." ”

Mingyue held the grass and returned the pill, looked left and right, and asked: "Brother Qingfeng, you have guarded the spiritual root of heaven and earth for 1,800 years, just for the sake of three grass pills?"

Qingfeng smiled: "At first, I just borrowed the land to practice, and Zhen Yuanzi asked me to guard the spiritual root of heaven and earth until the grass returned to the pill to mature, so I asked for three more grass pills, and he asked me to be the medicine field boy of Wenzui Mountain." ...... Don't be busy talking, take the grass and return it quickly. ”

Speaking of which. What is the miraculous effect of the grass returning pill on the spiritual root of heaven and earth, which is said to help the immortals overcome the calamity?

It is the gathering of immortal qi between heaven and earth for 10,000 years, and it can greatly increase mana after taking it. Of course, this does not mean that the mana will increase greatly immediately after eating, but that in the next 10,000 years, as long as you sit and run the spiritual energy around your body, the mana will increase without hindrance, just like being in the fairy spirit cave.

It also has a name called the Human Fruit. It resembles a human body, and it has a miraculous effect after taking it. If the Buddha-figure Dharmakaya is destroyed, it may be due to heavenly punishment or other reasons, as long as the divine consciousness is not dispersed, the Dharmakaya can be recondensed, which is equivalent to having one more Dharmakaya who has truly crossed the Tribulation, and there is no need to reincarnate and recultivate.

Among the Nine Turns Purple Gold Pill that Mei Zhenyi wants to refine, there is a taste of grass returning to the pill, which refers to the ordinary grass returning the pill fruit, which matures every thirty years. It is not the human fruit of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth. This kind of human body fruit is even more precious than the Nine Turns Purple Gold Pill, and it is certainly not worth it to use it as a medicine for alchemy.

The way to take it is not simply to eat, but to melt it with pure dew, and it is like a raw jin under the tongue. Take it by the method of refining the form of jade liquid.

Mingyue and Qingfeng took one by one, and after taking it, Mingyue felt that her hands and feet were cold, and she needed to sit quietly for a few hours to dispense the medicinal power, her origin and cultivation were peculiar. The medicinal properties of the human body have a particularly strong effect on her. Qingfeng stayed by the side to protect the Dharma for her, and it was inevitable that there would be negligence, and something would happen during this period of time.

The heart ape Wukong has great powers, ears and eyes are psychic, and when Qingfeng and Xuanzang were talking in the hall, he let the horse come back and walked into the courtyard and heard it all. I heard that there were such treasures in the world, and it was hiding under the wall to scratch its ears and cheeks, and when it heard the master's insistence, it was so anxious that it wanted to turn its head. Qingfeng took the human fruit and left. and Mingyue took it one by one, and these heart apes Wukong knew about it, and his heart moved.

The Heaven and Earth Spirit Root Tree is thousands of feet tall, but it has been hidden by the spell, and it is invisible when standing outside the backyard. But the heart ape Wukong has his own supernatural powers, and the golden light in his eyes shines directly, and he shines straight towards the center of the gathering place of the immortal spirit of Wuguanzhuang, and the spiritual root of heaven and earth reveals his body. He disappeared and flipped into the backyard. Jump up the tree, find a fruit, reach out and pick it.

I didn't take it off this time. Heart Ape Wukong secretly said wonderfully, and cast a transfer supernatural power. Tear the fruit off. Unexpectedly, as soon as the fruit left the branch, it turned into a breeze and dispersed, returning to the fairy spirit between heaven and earth. Only then did he remember what Qingfeng had told Xuanzang about this fruit, his eyes blinked for a long time, he took out a golden hoop iron rod, shot down two fruits with the golden hoop on the stick, and jumped off the tree and slipped out of the backyard with his coat.

The heart ape Wukong came to the kitchen, Zhixu was not there, only Zhu Baliang was eating with a big bowl, he hurriedly took the bowl to find water to turn the grass and return the pill. Unexpectedly, Zhu Baliang came over and grabbed him by the placket of his lichen and said, "Senior brother, are you going to steal other people's fruits?" I also heard what the little boy said to the master, and I was about to discuss with you, but I saw you sneakily holding these two fruits into the door. ”

Heart Ape Wukong said: "Whisper, if you bump into it, you will share one." "The two of them also ate a human fruit in the kitchen.

Zhu Ba's face was fat and his mouth was big, and he didn't taste it after taking a bite, he only felt cold all over his body and numb hands and feet, and asked in surprise: "Senior brother, what is the taste of your ground fruit?" Why didn't I taste it, I just felt like drinking a bowl of ice plum soup on a hot day?"

Heart Ape Wukong sneered: "You idiot, you don't practice enough, you eat fast and the medicine is slow." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Qingfeng shouting and scolding in the courtyard: "What a bald thief, so bold and rude!"

It turned out that Mingyue was meditating and pranayama, and suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Brother Qingfeng, it's not good, that monkey head broke the magic circle in the backyard and slipped up the tree and stole three fruits." ”

Her earth five senses and the spiritual root of heaven and earth are one, and the heart ape Wukong should be able to sense it as soon as he moves his hand, but just now because he didn't notice it because of the transformation of the martial arts, he immediately opened his mouth after the divine consciousness recovered. Qingfeng got up and changed color and said, "You still need to adjust your spirit, don't move, I'll go to them to settle accounts." ”

Qingfeng came to the front yard, and immediately alarmed Xuanzang who was sitting in the living room, and he went out and asked, "Why did the fairy child speak ill of him?"

Qingfeng: "If you have evil deeds, you will naturally be judged badly!" I kindly give you two pieces of grass to return the pill, and you will just accept it, but I don't know how to restrain my disciples and do such a theft. ”

Xuanzang was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered Zhixuan to call the heart ape Wukong and Zhu Baliang, and asked them if they had stolen the grass in the village and returned the pill? Master doesn't eat, and we apprentices, we should make a good relationship to the end. Zhenyuan Daxian originally said that he would give two pieces, and my senior brother and I took two pieces, what do you have to scold?"

Qingfeng cross-examined: "Zhenyuan Daxian only asked me to give Xuanzang two pieces of grass to Xuanzang, but he didn't say that he would give it to others. You thieves and monks, do you come to the door to turn into fate or rob them? On this westward journey, you meet a well-wisher family to stay overnight. Is that what you do?"

Heart Ape Wukong said: "The owner of this village wants to give two grass pills, and we also took two grass pills, the cause and effect are clear and clear, you are a boy who watches the family word, what are you doing here?...... Oh, I see, my master doesn't eat it, and you eat those two pieces of grass yourself. When I turned around and asked about the master's house, I pushed it to my master's name. ...... You little thief who guards and steals the land, you can't plant it if you steal the fruit, so you are angry!"

This monkey's sharp teeth actually made a difference. Very aggressive. Qingfeng also moved the real fire, turned around and scolded Xuanzang: "The son does not teach, the father's fault, and he has a thief's preference to refer to people as thieves." Is this how you teach your disciples? I don't need to say much about whether I eat grass or not, what kind of heart do you have when you bring this sharp-mouthed miscellaneous thief monkey to the door?

Xuanzang had already understood what was going on, stepped forward to apologize repeatedly, and persuaded: "The poor monk didn't want to accept such a valuable thing from the master here, but my two apprentices ate it greedily, even if it was on the poor monk's land." The little fairy child can also explain to Zhenyuan Daxian. I behave misbehavingly and speak disrespectfully, I will punish myself, and I hereby make amends to the little fairy. ”

Qingfeng: "There is still some truth in what you said, but what the thief monkey stole was three grass pills, how can the extra one be counted? This is not my thing, I am entrusted with the responsibility of care, so I must be held accountable." ”

Zhu Baliang shouted: "It's obviously two, senior brother." Did you steal another one yourself?"

Wukong, the heart ape, shouted, "That fruit disappeared as soon as it was plucked! ”

Qingfeng turned around and scolded angrily: "If you take off three, it's three." Thief monkey, are you an uncivilized wild species that does not know how to count?"

Xuanzang hurriedly stopped: "Wukong." Hugh must say more...... Little fairychild, what do you want to do with it?"

Qingfeng: "I guarded this tree for 1,800 years to get three pieces of grass to return the pill, if it is up to me, I will punish the thief monkey for guarding the tree for 600 years." But I can't be the master, Zhenyuan Daxian has the final say, and I can't let you go until he comes back. ”

Zhu Baliang smiled: "Punish my senior brother for guarding the tree, is there still any land left for the fruit, don't you know what happened to the Pan Taoyuan in the fairy realm of the West Queen Mother back then, right?"

At this moment, there was an exclamation from the bright moon in the backyard, and Qingfeng's expression changed into a divine wind and left. Then the wind sounded in the valley, and the immortal spirit that shrouded the inside and outside of Wuguanzhuang actually dispersed with the wind. Xuanzang and the others were puzzled, only to see the heart ape Wukong shake his body and said, "Relieve your anger!"

Xuanzang stepped forward and grabbed him: "Wukong, what did you do just now?"

Wukong, the heart ape, bared his teeth: "That little boy has to be unforgiving, a thief monkey, I was angry and moved, so I used a doppelganger method, and my real body went to the backyard to knock down the tree! Give one more fruit, it is like asking for a life, what kind of immortal cultivation is it? It is better to help them cut off the root of this trouble, but it is also quiet." ”

Zhi Xu, who had not spoken all the time next to him, was bluffed: "Senior brother, why are you so nonsense?"

Wukong: "How do you know that I am Hu Lai? No matter how miraculous the grass is to return the pill, can I practice for others? How can I be truly liberated by sticking to a tree? If you don't give up a fruit, how can there be a cause? You still don't understand the subtlety. ”

"So, I still want to thank you?" a cold voice came, and I saw Qingfeng standing at the gate of the courtyard at some point, holding a two-foot-long golden hammer in his hand, which was his magic weapon, the golden hammer.

Heart Ape Wukong shrugged his shoulders and waved his hand, "You're welcome." ”

Qingfeng was abnormally not angry, but sneered: "You always think you are reasonable, but you can't pretend to be heavenly for others, do you really think that everything you do is right?...... Xuanzang, let me ask you, did you just say that the matter is on your land?" He bypassed the rest of the people and came straight to Xuanzang.

Xuanzang nodded wordlessly, and Wukong, the heart ape behind him, saw that Qingfeng's tone was not good, and his eyes were about to come over, but he suddenly fell to the ground with his head in his hands, and he kept moaning and rolling in pain. And Xuanzang's lips moved slightly, and he didn't know what incantation he was chanting.

Qingfeng ignored all this, and said in a deep voice: "Then the heaven and earth spirit root received a blow to the ground, and I will also hit you on the head." As he spoke, he had already swung a golden blow and shot down at Xuanzang's head!
