Boom! Boom! Boom! …
While several people were talking, a knock on the door sounded from outside.
When I opened the door, I found that Qingfeng Mingyue, who had gone to the kitchen to prepare a vegetarian meal, had returned, carrying several baskets of freshly steamed buns and rice porridge, as well as several plates of fresh vegetarian dishes.
"Elder, the food you asked for has been delivered. Remember to eat slowly. If you burst to death, don't blame me for not warning you!"
Qingfeng Mingyue put all the food on the table, said this angrily, and then prepared to turn around and leave.
Regarding this, Wukong showed no trace of consternation on his face, but because of his identity as a guest, he couldn't get too angry for the moment.
"Two fairy boys, please wait!"
Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Tang Sanzang quickly stopped them.
"Is there anything else, Elder Tang? Could it be that you think the vegetarian meal we prepared is not good enough?"
"Fairy boy has misunderstood. How can there be any objection to a guest doing as he pleases? I just have a small question, and I would like to ask you two for advice."
Tang Sanzang asked with a kind face, "When I was having a chat with your master just now, I accidentally heard him mention that there is a treasure in Guiguan called the ginseng fruit tree. I wonder what its origin is?"
"The elder seems to have no knowledge at first glance!"
Qingfeng said with a proud look on his face, "This ginseng fruit tree, also called Cao Huan Dan, is one of the ten innate spiritual roots that were generated when the world first opened. It is the top immortal tree in the three realms!"
"The ginseng fruit tree we visited blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and takes only three thousand years to ripen. It has only produced about thirty ginseng trees in the past ten thousand years. It is extremely precious!"
"Furthermore, this ginseng fruit contains infinite blessings. Even if a mortal smells it, he can live to be 360 years old. If he takes a bite, he can live to be 47,000 years old!"
"Although it is slightly inferior to the flat peach tree at the Queen Mother's house, it is worthy of being the second immortal tree in the world!"
Ginseng fruit! ?
Sun Wukong, who had long been tired of eating flat peaches, immediately cast a curious look.
Zhu Bajie, who was still reluctant to part with the table full of steamed buns, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Ginseng fruit?"
Sha Wujing, who had always had little interest in worldly things, also became more energetic, "When I was serving as the Curtain General in Heaven, I accompanied the Jade Emperor to the peach banquet, and I saw the immortals from overseas bringing this fruit to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. It's a pity. I just took a look at it, but I never had the chance to taste it.”
"According to the fairy boy, the ginseng fruit used to honor the Queen Mother was picked from the fairy tree in Zigui Temple?"
"There is only one ginseng fruit tree in the Three Realms. Apart from our Wuzhuang Temple, there is no one else!"
Ming Yue on the side also said quite showily, looking at everyone as if looking at a bunch of bumpkins who have never seen the world.
"Then little benefactor Mingyue, please tell me, what are the specialties and skills of this ginseng fruit?"
Then, Tang Sanzang asked tentatively again.
"Hehe, our ginseng fruit is extremely valuable!"
Mingyue said with a smile, "If you want to eat this fruit, you must use a special golden hammer to pick it, and then put it on the alchemy plate. And you must not touch the earth when picking, otherwise once it touches the soil, it will burrow underground on its own. If you touch a wooden vessel, it will immediately wither away!"
"And you must eat it early, otherwise the pulp will become woody and stiff over time, making it no longer edible!"
After hearing this, Tang Sanzang nodded slightly.
It seems that the knowledge in this ginseng fruit does not have much origin from what I know.
"Then can you tell me, where are the golden hammers used to pick fruits and the pill trays used to hold fruits?"
"Needless to say, of course it will be placed in the room of our senior brothers..."
"Elder Tang, why do you ask this?"
After saying this, Mingyue realized that something was wrong, and then asked Tang Sanzang warily.
"Nothing, nothing, I'm just curious about Guiguan's fairy fruit!"
"Tang Sanzang, don't blame us for not reminding you. These ginseng fruits are the lifeblood of our master. If you dare to take advantage of them, even if you are his close friend, the master will still fall out!"
Finally, Mingyue warned Tang Sanzang again.
Although the fairy tales were arrogant and rude, Tang Sanzang naturally would not care about them because of his own status.
But Tang Sanzang didn't care about it, which doesn't mean that other disciples didn't care about it.
"Yellow-mouthed kid, Grandpa Sun, I've been putting up with you for a long time!"
Sun Wukong stood up with anger in his eyes, "Before, you were just pointing fingers at our brothers and sisters, but my master just asked a few questions out of curiosity. You are actually judging the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart. It is really unreasonable!" "
"That's right, just a few broken fruits, let's see how you two show off!"
Zhu Bajie was stunned for a while, and then started making noises along with Sun Wukong.
"Who are you talking about, a kid with a yellow mouth? Who are you talking about!"
"Ming Yue and I have both lived for more than a thousand years, so we're not much younger than you, right?"
Qingfeng, who had been dissatisfied for a long time, immediately responded, "And don't forget, this is Wuzhuang Temple, and it is my territory! No matter you are a Bodhisattva or a Demon King, you all must be honest to me, otherwise I will be doomed." I won’t be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor!”
"You're right, we have the final say on our territory. Since you are guests, you should act like guests. Don't mess around here! Otherwise, if we piss you off, we will kick you out!"
Immediately afterwards, Mingyue was not to be outdone and attacked.
"Little fairy boy, if you have the ability, you can say it again!"
"What did I say? How dare you fight me here?"
"Believe it or not, I'm going to beat you to death with a stick right now?"
"Then you should give it a try. If you don't dare, you are not a human...not a monkey!"
"..."
For a moment, the room was filled with curses and tense voices.
Sun Wukong broke several plates, Qingfeng threw a stool, Zhu Bajie smashed a few steamed buns, and Mingyue poured a bucket of rice porridge.
This group of disciples, whose average age was no less than two thousand years old, fought hand to hand, but no one really dared to take action.
"Okay, okay, we are all decent people who have achieved enlightenment. Why should we get into such a fuss over this little verbal conflict? It's really an insult to politeness!"
Seeing this scene, Tang Sanzang lost no time in acting as peacemaker and pulled Wukong Bajie aside.
Although Qingfeng Mingyue was furious, due to Zhen Yuanzi's previous warning, he did not continue to dominate others.
After some sporadic quarrels, the two of them tossed their sleeves and robes and left the guest room angrily.
"Hmph, this Immortal Zhenyuan must have done it on purpose, right? He actually left these two scoundrels who don't know the world to entertain us?"
"If it weren't for the fact that this is someone else's territory, I, Old Sun, would have sent them to see the King of Hell!"
Sun Wukong said angrily, he was one of the seven demon kings in the world, how had he ever been so squeezed?
"Master, those two boys are bullying us like this, how can you just tolerate it?"
Zhu Bajie wiped the rice porridge that was splashed all over his body and said aggrievedly.
"Do you think my teacher is the kind of person who can swallow this breath?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost brewing, Tang Sanzang immediately turned cold and said this meaningfully.
"Then what are you going to do, master? Let me, Old Sun, punish them, or simply tear down their Taoist temple?"
Sun Wukong's face was filled with joy and he was immediately eager to try.
"No, no, no, we are guests after all, how can we hurt people and destroy the house at will?"
Tang Sanzang shook his head, "Isn't the reason why you were quarreling just now because these two fairy boys framed us as teachers and wanted to take advantage of the ginseng fruit?"
"In that case, we might as well settle this matter!"
After hearing this, Wukong, Bajie, and Wujing had a look of astonishment on their faces.
According to Master, are you planning to lead the disciples to steal ginseng fruits?
