Although Bajie has made progress.
But now it seems that it is still limited.
He had been anxious and troubled all night yesterday, and he still kept thinking about it when he was walking in the morning, so he was teased by his senior brother.
Now that I see the ginseng fruit in front of me, I have already become greedy. When I hear the order, I just treat it as an offensive war drum, open my mouth and put the ginseng fruit into my mouth——
Gudu!
When he swallowed it, he suddenly realized that... he had not even tasted the taste of the fruit.
At this moment, people in the audience were laughing at him, but he didn't care about being shy. When he saw the ginseng fruit in the hands of the great sage before he could eat it, he leaned towards it and asked coquettishly: "Brother Monkey——"
The Great Sage knows Bajie's nature best. Seeing his appearance, it is not difficult to guess that he is thinking about the ginseng fruit in his hand. However, he ignored this idiot and only turned his body to face Bajie.
Bajie refused to give up and called out again: "Elder brother——"
"Kacha."
The great sage took a bite, and the flesh crisped in his mouth.
Bajie was anxious. Seeing that his senior brother was tightly guarded and there was no way to break through... he naturally changed his target quickly and went to look for his junior brother Sha.
Seeing that Junior Brother Sha couldn't move his mouth and only held the ginseng fruit in his hands, he leaned on it and pointed at the fruit in his hand before saying, "Junior Brother Sha, what is this?"
Sha Monk held up the ginseng fruit with his hands, brought it to the second senior brother, and said honestly: "Ginseng fruit."
When Bajie saw the ginseng fruit getting closer to him, he immediately bit it——
Hey young!
Unexpectedly, eight obsessive spirits floated out of the Buddhist beads around Junior Brother Sha's neck, immediately binding him tightly.
Wukong also pinched his ears, laughing and scolding: "You idiot, you ate it all yourself in a hurry, who are you going to ask?"
Bajie groaned, and when he was about to argue a few words, he suddenly felt his master's gaze. His heart suddenly trembled, and he immediately sat upright, not daring to move.
"You scoundrel." Fa Hai said, "Remember this lesson. If you commit gluttony again in the future, you might as well think about what happened today..."
Seeing the master speaking, Bajie didn't dare to say anything. When he saw everyone savoring the ginseng fruit in front of them, he felt so regretful!
Bajie looked around and felt strange in his heart. Junior Brother Sha couldn't eat the fruit because it was his own problem. Little Bailong didn't eat the fruit because he couldn't swallow it. Why did the master just hold the fruit on his chest? Refining with mana?
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly felt a warm current rippling in his belly. Before he could react, the warm current spread to all the veins in his body, and then penetrated directly to the heavenly spirit.
Bajie glanced hastily and found that except for the Immortal Zhenyuan who was sitting in the main seat, everyone, including the master, and the two immortal boys Qingfeng and Mingyue, had already entered a state of cultivation.
He also hurriedly sat down, assuming a posture with five hearts pointing toward the sky, keeping his mind and nature, and operating the Tiangang Dharma.
It was already past noon when everyone had finished absorbing and refining the essence of the ginseng fruit.
Many of the disciples of Wuzhuang Guanmen have dispersed. Their forty-six disciples only got two portions in total to eat. In addition, the fruit was cut, and a lot of its effectiveness was lost. Therefore, they ended their practice early, leaving only The next few of them who ate the whole fruit have been cultivating until now.
"Amitabha." Fahai recited the Buddha's name and made a Buddhist salute to the great Immortal Zhenyuan who had never left him: "I never thought that in addition to increasing lifespan, this ginseng fruit also has the effect of enhancing magical power and cultivation..."
"It is indeed a spiritual root that can be named after the flat peach." The Great Sage also said: "To be honest, at first I was still confused. The flat peach that ripens once every nine thousand years in the Queen Mother's peach garden is said to be eaten by one. They have the same longevity as the heaven and the earth, and the sun and the moon have the same age. There are still 1,200 peach trees like this... But the ginseng fruit in Daxian Wuzhuang Temple also ripens once every nine thousand years, and it only bears thirty fruits every nine thousand years. , eating one will add 47,000 years of life...how can it be compared with that flat peach?"
"Hahaha." Immortal Zhenyuan heard the words and said with a smile: "Since you secretly ate flat peaches in the Tiangong before, and now you have eaten my ginseng fruit... but you have already compared the merits?"
The Great Sage smiled and said, "Hasn't the Great Immortal ever eaten that flat peach?"
"Hahahaha." Zhen Yuanzi said with a smile: "I am also a frequent visitor to the Peach Festival. Although I am not as full as your great sage, I have eaten a lot."
After listening to Zhen Yuanzi's words, the Great Sage smiled again and said, "The Great Immortal is deliberately trying to test my knowledge."
Zhen Yuanzi nodded in agreement: "I was just about to hear what the great sage has to say."
"Then Old Sun is showing off his embarrassment." The Great Sage thought for a while and then said: "There are 3,600 flat peach trees in the flat peach orchard, divided into three grades. The 1,200 in front, The flowers are microscopic and the fruit is small, and they ripen once every three thousand years. If a person eats them, he will become an immortal, and his body will be light and healthy. In the middle, there are 1,200 flowers, with sweet and fruity flowers, and they will ripen once every six thousand years. If a person eats them, he will ascend to heaven and become immortal. At the back, Twelve hundred plants, with purple veins and cores, ripen once in nine thousand years. If a person eats it, he will live as long as heaven and earth, and the sun and moon will have the same age... My old grandson didn't know this at first, but he got it from the land of the Peach Garden. Know."
Immortal Zhenyuan nodded and said: "The land did not trick you, the flat peach does have such effect."
Bajie nodded: "It does sound more powerful than ginseng fruit... Brother Monkey, you promised us to..."
Seeing that the second senior brother was quick to talk, Xiao Bailong took a step and pushed the second senior brother aside. Bajie paused for a moment, and then swallowed the rest of his words. Xiao Bailong took the opportunity to ask: "Senior Brother, could it be that one of them Are there any secrets that I don’t know about?”
"Hehe~" the great sage said with a smile: "If you have never eaten that flat peach, of course you don't know...the increase in longevity of the flat peach itself is actually very small."
"What do you mean by this?" Xiao Bailong asked curiously: "Even those three-thousand-year-old flat peaches, if you eat them, you can become an immortal; six-thousand-year-old flat peaches can make you fly like clouds and live forever... Ah! It turns out! That’s right!”
Seeing that Xiao Bailong noticed the key, the Great Sage stopped talking and said: "The reason they gained immortality by eating flat peaches was not because the flat peaches themselves increased their longevity; it was because they became immortals after eating flat peaches... Only after becoming an immortal can you obtain the fruit of immortality."
"Brother Monkey, why do you want to become an immortal first and then live forever... I'm almost going to be a pig all over the lake." Bajie scratched his head and said, "According to what you said, could you become an immortal after eating a flat peach?" , are they all fake immortals?"
"Of course it's not fake." The Great Sage shook his head and said: "But what if they one day get rid of the immortal status and are no longer gods? Could it be that they can be like me, even if they don't enter the immortal status, they can also Can you avoid those three disasters by relying on your own cultivation?"
"Then again, my old grandson is young, and I only know one person who has eaten flat peaches, but I have never seen him... Therefore, what I said just now is just a bold guess, and I don't know how much of it is true. ." The Great Sage raised his hands to the Great Immortal Zhenyuan above and said: "The Great Immortal has extraordinary cultivation and is a true Taoist master... Have you ever seen what the mortal who ate the flat peach looks like?"
"The person you are talking about is Dongfang Shuo?"
"It's him," the Great Sage nodded repeatedly, "He is a little peach thief, and he stole it three times in a row, but he was a little timid, and he always stole three thousand years old peaches... When he stole the peaches, I Old Sun was still living happily in Qitian Mansion. Later, the story of him stealing peaches came to the ears of the Jade Emperor. It happened that I, Old Sun, had no serious job in the Tiangong... Therefore, I was appointed by the Jade Emperor to take charge of the Peach Garden."
"Hahahaha." Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "I don't think the Jade Emperor had expected that he asked an old thief to catch the little thief... but the little thief didn't catch it, and instead the old thief took him to his house. Evacuate..."
Bajie burst out laughing after hearing this. He used to laugh at himself, but now he can listen to Brother Monkey's embarrassing stories. It's really refreshing!
"Go, go, ke~" The Great Sage bared his teeth at Bajie, then looked at the Immortal Zhenyuan and asked, "Does the Immortal know other characters?"
"I know two people who have eaten flat peaches." Zhen Yuanzi sighed softly and added, "But they have been dead for a long time."
"Oh?" Even Fahai looked a little more serious now and couldn't help asking: "Why is this? And who is it?"
Zhen Yuanzi said: "Because there is an unwritten rule in the three realms, mortal emperors cannot become immortals."
"Hiss—which two emperors are they?" the Great Sage asked.
"One is King Mu of Zhou Dynasty, Ji Man, and the other is Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Liu Che." After finishing speaking, Zhen Yuanzi said to the Great Sage: "These two people ate flat peaches but failed to become immortals, so they could not live forever. It is the same. What you just said is consistent with what you said."
"Is that true?" The Great Sage couldn't help but ask again.
Zhen Yuanzi’s tone was affirmative: “It’s true!”
"Is it true that only these three mortals have eaten this flat peach since it came into the world?" Sha Monk rarely spoke.
"Perhaps there are others who have eaten it, but I have never heard of it... But flat peaches have always been eaten by immortals, and even immortals are not qualified to enjoy them... How about your senior brother? Although he is here He ate his fill alone in the peach garden, but his name was not on the invitation."
"Great Immortal, my old grandson was young and frivolous back then, so there is no need to keep talking about this matter." The Great Sage was still a little embarrassed.
"Senior Brother... So what's different about this ginseng fruit?" Bajie was still thinking about the ginseng fruit.
"The ginseng fruit is just the opposite. Although it also has the effect of increasing cultivation power, it is slightly inferior to the flat peach. The longevity it adds is real." The Great Sage looked at Zhen Yuanzi and asked: "Dare I ask? Great Immortal, if you eat the ginseng fruit of the Great Immortal and gain immortality, will you be able to avoid the three disasters directly?"
"Yes." Zhen Yuanzi nodded and admitted, and then said: "As long as he does not suffer any misfortune, even if he does not know how to practice, he should be a mortal and live for 47,000 years."
Bajie asked curiously: "How many mortals have eaten the ginseng fruit of Daxian?"
"Mortals who have eaten this ginseng fruit have already become the disciples of Wuzhuang Guanmen... They will gain immortality first and then realize the immortal fruit."
