Although Qingfeng and Mingyue look like two Taoist boys.
In fact, both of them are over a thousand years old. Qingfeng is 1,320 years old this year, and Mingyue is slightly younger, only 1,200 years old.
Suddenly it sounds like the two of them are almost the same, but in fact, if they are placed in the mortal world... Qingfeng is one hundred and twenty years older than Mingyue. He is six or seven generations older than him. I'm afraid he will have to scream too much when he sees him. Only grandpa can do it.
How long does it take for a country's destiny to last?
But based on their thousand years of life, they are only the two youngest disciples in the Wuzhuang Temple, which shows how good this Zhenyuan Immortal is.
But when ordinary people see them like this, who would know that they have been practicing for thousands of years?
Furthermore, the saying goes that there is no sun and moon in practice. Although the two of them are older, they have been admitted to Wuzhuang Temple since they were young, and they have always looked like Taoist boys. Such unconventional practice means that their minds are actually far from being the same as their own. Age matches.
There is a saying in the spiritual world that appearance is the manifestation of mind.
Therefore, even the immortals who have practiced for thousands of years have different appearances, some have the appearance of children, and some have the appearance of old people.
This time Zhenyuan Immortal is traveling, only the two of them are left at home... Regardless of whether their Taoism can keep the family home, it is just that this is Zhenyuan Immortal's dojo. How many demons in the three realms dare to run wild?
Before Tang Seng and his disciples arrived, Mingyue waited for the master to lead the brothers to leave, and said to Mingyue: "What a coincidence, but today Yuanshi Tianzun sent a brief message asking the master to discuss Taoism..."
Qingfeng asked him with a smile: "Do you still remember that Master Guanyin came to visit Master last year?"
"I vaguely remember." Mingyue nodded secretly and said, "I remember that the master wanted to invite her to eat ginseng fruit that day... But she said that the ginseng fruit was not destined for her, so it would be better to wait for someone who is truly destined to come before inviting her..."
As she said that, Mingyue's eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean this Tang Monk is the destined person mentioned by Master Guanyin? No wonder, no wonder..."
"What's the wonder?" Qingfeng asked after seeing that Mingyue seemed to have gained something.
"No wonder Master is leaving today... Even if a great Buddhist Bodhisattva like Guanyin bends down to pay respects to Master, how can Tang Monk be regarded as the reincarnation of the Golden Chanzi and just a chance encounter at the Bon Bon Festival? Master, do you want to receive him yourself?" Mingyue looked like she had seen through everything, and said confidently: "Master said that he would give him two ginseng fruits to entertain him. It turned out that Master Guanyin kept his own and gave it to Tang Sanzang."
When Qingfeng saw Ming Yue and understood the true meaning, he also smiled and said: "This is exactly the reason. This is why Master gave him two of them for the sake of Lingshan Buddhism and Bodhisattva. At most, it is a good relationship... His master and disciple came to visit today. , let them have a fast meal for one night, and when they set off westward tomorrow, the master will also return. Although the two parties had no choice but to miss each other, he finally ate the ginseng fruit, and the master gave him the face of Lingshan. "
After the two of them said these words, they felt that Tang Sanzang was nothing more than that, a lucky man who had received the protection of the Lingshan Mountain and the Bodhisattva.
The two of them chatted in the inner room, intending to show off the master and apprentice, but the more they heard, the more something was wrong. When they hurried out, they realized that Tang Seng and apprentice had no intention of coming in, and were about to leave!
How is this possible?
Mainly because people made it clear that they didn't dare to trespass when there was no one at home...but it wasn't because they looked down on their Wuzhuang Temple.
But if this matter is really spread, wouldn't it mean that their Wuzhuang Temple does not know how to treat guests?
If the reputation of the master who was implicated had not been damaged, no matter how favored the two of them were, they would probably have to live in poverty.
The two hurriedly ran out, and Qingfeng called out, saying, "That master in front of you, is Master Tripitaka who went to the West to obtain scriptures?"
Um?
Everyone stopped when they heard a voice from behind, calling Master's name.
Fahai turned around and saw two fairy boys walking forward quickly. He followed their footsteps and looked around, saying to himself: They are indeed Taoist fairy boys. They have a refreshing spirit and are wearing Taoist uniforms. The mist, the feather sleeves fluttering in the wind, and the extraordinary splendor is definitely not ordinary.
"It's the poor monk. I dare to ask the two fairy boys why they stopped the poor monk, and how did they know the poor monk's name?"
"It was my master who gave the order. He said that a monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty would pass by today. He specially asked the two of us to stay at home to entertain him. We must not neglect him." Aren't we missing out? Master blames us, but we can't afford it."
Seeing that Tang Sanzang looked young and smart, the two of them actually restrained their contempt a little. However, due to their preconceptions, these words were more like excusing their own behavior.
"Master, please go into the temple and take a rest first."
Qingfeng and Mingyue led the five masters and disciples into the temple. Seeing that the master did not refuse, the four disciples followed suit and were happy to have a place to stay.
After entering the main gate, there is a second gate.
There is a couplet on the second door, which reads: "The Immortal's Mansion, the Taoist Mansion that lives as long as Heaven."
When the Great Sage saw the master and the two Taoist boys walking in front, he followed behind and said to the three junior disciples: "This master has such a loud tone. I don't know which true immortal he is... He was in the Heavenly Palace back then. I have never seen such a couplet on the door head of Taishang Laojun's Tushita Palace."
"Brother Monkey, don't worry about his couplets. Since he dares to hang them here, no one dares to come and pick them. That's his ability." Bajie pushed Brother Monkey forward: "Old pig, I'm hungry. Gu Gu Gu, let’s get down and make food first.”
Bajie heard clearly just now that this large Taoist temple only had these two children left at this moment. What kind of fast food could they make with these two people who don't eat the fireworks of the world?
Most likely it was him who cooked.
Several people followed him into the Taoist temple while talking.
Qingfeng and Mingyue invited the five masters and apprentices into the main hall. They saw the two characters "Heaven and Earth" decorated in five colors hung in the middle of the wall. There was a vermilion lacquered incense table with a pair of gold stove bottles on it. Convenient to make fragrance.
Since Fahai came forward to worship, he knew the origin of the Zhenyuan Immortal, so he would not be surprised why this place only enshrines the word "Heaven and Earth".
But the great sage was itching in his heart, thinking that the last person he saw who only offered "heaven and earth" was his mentor. Could it be that the conduct of the master here is comparable to his mentor?
Having reached this point in his mind, he said, "Xian Tong, since your master is a Taoist master, why don't you see him offering offerings to the Three Pure and Four Emperors, the gods of Luotian, and only offering incense to the two words of heaven and earth?"
Qingfeng and Mingyue saw that it was a monkey asking questions. They frowned at first, but they also wanted to show off the reputation of their masters, so they were not stingy. However, Mingyue asked first: "You... practitioner also knows Taoism. ?”
He originally wanted to call the Great Sage "Monkey", but it was obvious that he had a bad appearance, a sharp mouth and a mean look on his monkey cheeks. He also remembered that his master had specially ordered them not to flirt with Tang Seng's disciples, so he swallowed the word "Monkey" instead. Went back.
"My grandson is Sun Wukong, the Monkey King who caused great trouble in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago. He taught himself Taoist mystical skills." The great sage announced his family status.
Qingfeng didn't give any feedback after hearing this. Instead, Mingyue took another look at the Great Sage and said: "So...ahem, Sun Wukong is you. You dare to call yourself the Monkey King...even my master heard it. They all praise you for knowing how high the sky and the earth are."
The Great Sage's face darkened: "Is this called praising others?"
"Hehe." Mingyue said with a smile: "Who do you think my master is? Sanqing is my master's friend, Si Di is my master's old friend, Jiu Yao is my master's junior, and Yuan Chen is my master's guest. That's right. That's why they can't accept being worshiped by their masters. You said, with his status as an old man, he laughed and said that he was really a bold and reckless master who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth. Isn't it just a compliment? Are you fearless and brave?"
"Hiss" The Great Sage was a little unsure after hearing this child's words. Mainly because he knew Old Mother Lishan the previous time... He was also afraid that this place was really a powerful immortal.
The Great Sage took a peek at the Master and saw that the Master's expression remained unchanged and looked like he was in a leisurely manner. He immediately felt confident in his heart. As long as the Master did not panic, they, as disciples, would naturally be stable as well.
"May I ask Fairy Boy, where is your master?"
Now that he is here, if there is a chance, Fahai still wants to visit the Zhenyuan Immortal in person.
Mingyue replied: "My master, Zhen Yuanzi, was invited by Yuanshi Tianzun to go to Tianmiluo Palace in Shangqing to listen to the Hunyuan Tao Fruit."
"Amitabha." Fahai sighed softly when he heard the words: "I missed it so much and had no chance to see the grace of Zhenyuan Immortal."
"Master, do you know my master's name?" Qingfeng asked curiously.
"The same king as the world, the ancestor of the earthly immortals, the poor monk has admired his name for a long time."
The two fairy boys looked at each other. They obviously didn't expect this.
oops!
After listening to the Master's words, the Great Sage stepped forward and grabbed the Master's sleeve, complaining in a low voice: "Master, Master, since you know the details of this great immortal, why didn't you tell me, Old Sun, earlier? You almost made your disciple embarrassed in front of others."
Fahai held Wukong's hand and said with a smile: "That's right. I haven't been rough or irritable this time, nor have I had any conflicts of mind. I've made a lot of progress, which is a great comfort to my teacher."
Wukong:...
Fa Hai looked at the two fairy boys and said, "Since your master is not here, I won't be bothering you in the main hall for a long time. May I ask the two fairy boys if they have any room available for me and my disciples to stay for one night?"
"Yes, it has been prepared a long time ago." Qingfeng cupped his hand and said, "I was about to ask the mage to rest."
"Fairy boy, are there any taboos in this temple?" Wukong wanted to wander around the Taoist temple, so he had to ask in advance to avoid entering other people's forbidden areas by mistake and causing disputes.
"what do you want to do?"
"It's still early in the morning. We see many temples along the way, but few Taoist temples, so I want to visit a few."
Mingyue said: "Except for the backyard and Master's bedroom, there are no restrictions on the rest of the place. You can do whatever you want."
After the Great Sage got the permission, he went out of the palace gate and began to look at the Taoist temple carefully. Although it was very different from the layout of Sanxing Cave in Fangcun Mountain, there were some Taoist rhymes that made sense.
Bajie also came forward and asked: "The two fairy boys are polite."
Seeing Bajie's ugly appearance, the two of them had been avoiding him, but they didn't expect that Bajie was quite polite. After bowing his head, the two of them quickly returned the courtesy: "What's the matter with this elder?"
"I would like to ask where your kitchen is, and can you lend it to me to make some fast food?"
Mingyue gave some guidance and told Bajie the location of the kitchen.
"Thank you fairy boy. I wonder what the two fairy boys eat on a daily basis? The old pig also prepares a portion for you."
