Chapter 14 Stealing Ginseng Fruit
The master and apprentice walked through the mountains and stayed overnight along the way, so there is no need to elaborate. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info just a few days after the Bodhisattva left, Tang Seng was diligent in his hurry, and after a long time, he would inevitably have another attack of laziness. Walk on the road for one day, rest for three days, take one step, rest ten steps, until walking for about half a year, the scripture learning team came to a fairy mountain, called Wanshou Mountain.
At this time, at the end of summer, the weather is pleasant, it is the season of abundant grains, and the flowers and fruits are ripe.
"Apprentices, for the teacher, is there a family in front of you?" Tang Seng rode on the horse, panting vigorously. Wukong jumped on the big tree, looked at it with his hand on the pergola, and said, "Master, there is a big pavilion in front, I don't know if it's a temple or a Taoist temple!" Bajie heard it and said happily: "That's great, let's go and rest." ”
Sha Seng patted Bajie's stomach: "By the way, let's have another meal." He laughed when he said it. Wukong jumped down from the tree and scolded Bajie: "You idiot, you didn't become an adult son-in-law, just eat and rest." If you delay like this, when will you be able to reach the western sky!"
"Wukong, Hugh has to blame your junior brother. Tang Seng immediately stopped him, and then ordered: "Speed up the trip and go to that Zen temple to have a look." ”
The group quickened their pace, walked to the afternoon, and finally came to a Taoist temple on the side of the mountain. Gao Lan raised his eyes and looked at it, and made sure that this was really the legendary Wuzhuang Temple! The Taoist temple was tall and simple, surrounded by fairy clouds, and the cloud ladders connected to the ground, and it was endless, and it really seemed to be a fairy cave. The masters and apprentices walked to the door of the Taoist temple and saw a couplet hanging on the door.
"Lady, what do you see written on this?" Because this couplet was written by the Great Seal, Bajie wanted to take the test for Gao Lan. Gao Lan smiled: "Don't you know how to read? It reads: the same world, the same dream." Sha Seng hurriedly corrected: "Senior sister said something wrong. What it says is: Immortal Immortal Mansion, the same longevity Taoist family as the sky. ”
"Hmph, what a big breath!" Sun Wukong saw it with a look of contempt. Tang Seng got off the horse and said, "Don't talk nonsense and collide with others." Wujing, you go and call the door. Sha Seng took the order, stepped forward and knocked on the door, only to see two fairy children greet him and ask, "Who is coming?"
Tang Seng once again said the old saying: "The poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the eastern soil, and at the behest of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he went to the Great Leiyin Temple in the West Heaven to worship the Buddha and seek the true scriptures. Passing by Baoguan, I want to spend a night, and where it is inconvenient, I hope that Xiantong Haihan ......" Daotong listened, and hurriedly interrupted him: "I can't remember these many words." ”
Tang Seng looked helpless: "I am Tang Seng." ”
Dao Tong smiled: "It turned out to be Elder Tang. The family teacher told me to wait, and Mr. Tang Chang came to ask for a grand hospitality. Please!" Tang Seng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and walked into Wuzhuang Temple with his apprentices. In the view, Tang Seng and his entourage, Qingfeng and Mingyue, the two Taoist boys, saw the salute and first went to the main hall to pay respects.
Tang Seng saw that there was no Taoist ancestor in the meditation room, only the word "heaven and earth", and couldn't help asking: "Even if it is Taiyi Xuanmen, how can you not worship the three Qings and the four emperors?"
Qingfeng listened, and said complacently: "It's not a secret, Sanqing is a friend of the family teacher, Siyu is the old man of the family teacher, Jiuyao is the younger generation of the family teacher, and Yuanchen is the guest of the family teacher." Even the worship of heaven and earth is made up of nonsense by the family teacher. This heavenly character deserves to be enshrined, is it earth...... I can't afford to be a teacher. ”
"Hmph, you two cheeky boys, the cowhide is so big that you are not ashamed. When Sun Wukong heard this, he was immediately very unhappy. Tang Seng stopped: "You monkey head, don't mess around." Qingfeng Mingyue also glared at Sun Wukong, turned back to Tang Seng and said, "Master, please go to the back meditation hall to rest." ”
Although Tang monks and apprentices were in a commotion, Gao Lan still sincerely bowed to the tablets of heaven and earth. The head of Wuzhuang Guan is Zhenyuan Daxian, and he is indeed a figure at the level of Dao Ancestor, and Gao Lan has long admired it in his heart.
When the master and apprentice arrived at the meditation room, Tang Seng immediately began to assign tasks: "Wukong, you go to the backyard to release the horse." Bajie, you go and borrow their kitchen to cook a fasting meal. Wujing, you wash the clothes you have changed and sew up the damage in case you need it urgently on the road. Cuilan, you take some lining money, go out to buy some firewood, rice and oil, and pack up. ”
Gao Lan was speechless for a while: Why am I even assigned to work?" "Master, what are you doing old man?"
"I was in a hurry to be a teacher for a long time, and the scriptures I had memorized as a child were already a little rusty. I'm going to meditate and chant here, and I'm going to review my homework. After Tang Seng finished speaking, he found the table and sat down, spread out the scriptures, knocked the fish with one hand, struck the bell with the other, and recited the scriptures with a humming voice. Gao Lan spread her hands and walked out of the meditation room with everyone.
However, it is not hard work to procure some bits and pieces. Gao Lan took the opportunity to take a walk outside, enjoying the scenery of Wuzhuang Temple by the way, and it was not until evening that he returned to the lower part with a few bags of things. Before she entered the door, she saw Sun Wukong suddenly flash out and pull her in, and then quickly closed the door.
"What's wrong?" Gao Lan asked puzzled, putting down a few bags of purchased things. Sun Wukong glanced at her, and suddenly showed a slightly ashamed look: "Brother and sister, I'm really sorry, my old grandson forgot about you in a hurry." As he spoke, Bajie had already come over and said, "Brother Monkey, have you got it?"
Gao Lan's heart jumped suddenly, and she saw Sun Wukong open his tiger skin skirt and three small babies in his arms.
"Ginseng fruit!" Gao Lan couldn't help but burst out.
Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were both taken aback, "How did you get such a treasure?" Gao Lan knew that he had said something, so he had to smile and said: "When I was shopping outside, I heard the Taoist priest of Wuzhuang Temple talk about it, saying that there are ginseng immortal fruits in this view, which are like babies. This thing that Brother Monkey took out must be it......"
"It's a pity that Lao Sun was in a hurry and forgot about you. "Sun Wukong is still very principled, but Gao Lan and Bailongma are a little estranged after all, so it makes sense that he didn't write it down for a while, and Gao Lan didn't mind. "It's okay, I'll call Senior Brother Sha back immediately, I won't talk nonsense. ”
Soon, the sand monk also returned to the meditation room. Then Gao Lan sat far away and no longer bothered their senior brothers.
Sha Wujing was also taken aback when he saw the ginseng fruit: "Ginseng fruit, senior brother, where did this come from?" Bajie listened, puffed his stomach and said: "Okay, wow, it turns out that you also recognize it! Then you must have eaten it, so you don't have your share, keep one and eat it with my lady." ”
When Sha Seng heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, don't hide it from the two elder brothers. When the younger brother was a general of the rolling shutter in the upper realm, he saw the immortals in the lower realm using this object to celebrate the birthday of the queen mother, so he recognized it. But...... But the younger brother never ate it. ”
Wukong listened and said, "In that case, each of the three of us brothers has one each." This ginseng fruit, also known as grass and pill, can live for 36,000 years with a sniff of the nose, and 47,000 years if it is immortal. Bajie, your lady is not listed in the immortal class yet, why don't you smell her first, and how about adding a few years of longevity?"
"Okay!" Bajie listened, and hurriedly pushed Wukong to Gao Lan's side.
Gao Lan was immediately moved, and listened to Sun Wukong say: "The land in the garden has also said that smelling fruit is like eating gas, but a fruit can only make people smell one bite." Brother and sister, if you smell each of these three fruits, it is also a great immortal fate. Gao Lan nodded and said, "Thank you Brother Monkey, then you're welcome!"
After finishing speaking, Gao Lan no longer hesitated, picked up a fresh fruit, and put it next to his mouth and nose. This ginseng fruit is not so much a fruit, but a small baby, and it will move gently when it is held in its hand, and it will be pinched tightly, and its little face will frown slightly. It's no wonder that Tang Seng didn't dare to eat it, it was no different from a real person.
Gao Lan lifted the fruit and inhaled it gently, and immediately felt that his mouth and tongue were full of relish, the fragrance was fragrant, his abdomen was warm, his body was comfortable, and the 48,000 pores of his body were immediately unblocked;
"What a baby, I feel as if my body has been washed, it's so clear and transparent!"
Although the immortal qi was not digested, Gao Lan did not hesitate and absorbed the immortal qi of the other two ginseng fruits one after another. However, although the immortal qi swallowed after that was also quite moisturizing, it no longer had the same tonic meaning as the first bite. Gao Lan also understood that such a nourishment as swallowing ginseng fruit qi could only be used once.
Otherwise, as long as you sit under the ginseng fruit tree and smell it every day, you will be immortal.
Feeling that the immortal qi had entered his body, Gao Lan sat on the side and crossed his knees and began to refine this immortal qi. It has been more than ten months since Gao Lan stepped into the Divine Power Realm, and along the way, his cultivation has not stopped, and now he is already familiar with visualizing the six realms.
When Gao Lan was meditating, Sun Wukong and the others also divided the ginseng fruit, and each of them took one and ate it.
Bajie ate the most urgently, and swallowed it in one bite. Then he saw Wukong and Sha Seng sitting on the side and enjoying themselves, and couldn't help but come over again. "Brother Monkey, what are you eating?" Sun Wu blanked his eyes: "Ginseng fruit?"
"What does it smell like?"
"You idiot, who made you eat so quickly?" Sun Wukong turned around and ignored him. Bajie couldn't help but turn to Sha Seng again: "Senior Brother Sha, is this ginseng fruit delicious?"
The sand monk did not bird him.
Bajie was so anxious that he said to Sun Wukong: "Good monkey brother, please go get two more?" This time I must be like you, chew slowly, and taste the taste...... Wukong listened, and scolded: "You idiot, this ginseng fruit only bears so thirty in 10,000 years, and my brothers and sisters have not been divided, and one of us is already a great immortal." Do you still want to be full?"
After finishing speaking, Sun Wukong threw back the golden sword and ignored him.
At this time, Gao Lan finally finished eating the immortal qi, and couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart, feeling like he had just stepped into the realm of supernatural powers. "This is the fairy energy, the beauty of devouring the fairy qi? I can't believe it, I really feel that my body is light and healthy, and I have increased my yang longevity for more than 300 years! Moreover, my supernatural power has also increased by more than 300 catties, which is almost worth a year of penance. ”
Originally, those who entered the realm of supernatural powers began to break away from the mortal womb of the physical body, but the increase of supernatural powers required years of cultivation. With such a diligent cultivation as Gao Lan, the increase in supernatural power in a year is only three hundred and sixty catties. And today's devouring immortal qi is worth a year of penance, which makes her ecstatic.
And no matter how much the supernatural power progresses, it is impossible to increase people's longevity, which is the most priceless treasure in the world.
