Wuzhuang Temple on Wanshou Mountain.
Zhen Yuanzi was lying on his side on the jade couch, with drunken eyes and hazy eyes, looking at the fiery red crystal gourd hanging on the wall, sadness shrouding his brows.
Since the death of his friend Ancestor Hongyun, Zhen Yuanzi has lost the direction of his spiritual practice. He claims to be the same as the world, and seeks to be free and at ease. But now that his old friend has been killed, he is unable to avenge him, which is so frustrating.
His Taoist heart was shaken. What was the point of practicing so hard?
This is a calamity of the mind. If Zhen Yuanzi cannot break through this confusion, his cultivation in this life will probably never improve again!
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."
Zhen Yuanzi was awakened by the chirping of birds. When he looked up, he saw a few magpies descending into the Taoist temple. The screams of the magpies were so beautiful that they even diluted the sadness in his heart.
He counted with his fingers and couldn't help but sit up in shock: "No wonder a magpie came to visit. It turned out to be an old friend from Zixiao Palace visiting."
Zhen Yuanzi quickly called the two attendant boys to him and said: "Qingfeng, Mingyue, there are distinguished guests coming to our door today. Go and get ginseng fruits quickly. Remember to get a few more ginseng fruits!"
The Qingfeng boy was always outspoken, so he couldn't help but ask: "Sir, who is this distinguished guest that wants to treat him with ginseng fruit?"
As his name suggests, Mingyue Tongzi is very calm. Seeing Qingfeng asking questions, he also looks at his master curiously. As a boy enlightened by his master, he naturally understands that this ginseng fruit is the most precious treasure in the temple. Unless the great power comes, he will never do it. Revealed easily.
I just don’t know who is coming today, so I asked my master to specifically tell me to shoot a few more. You must know that this ginseng fruit blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, matures after another three thousand years, and bears thirty fruits every ten thousand years. It is definitely There are countless treasures in the world.
"Don't ask too many questions first. Go and get the results quickly. I will go to greet the distinguished guests."
Zhen Yuanzi quickly got on his shoes, put on his purple gold crown, put on his crane cloak, carefully arranged his beautiful beard like a waterfall, and walked out to greet him.
Then he said: "Don't delay, otherwise I will take you for granted!"
But he said that Taoist Tongtian rode an ox all the way to the outside of Wanshou Mountain. He saw the mountain surrounded by spiritual light, and he knew at a glance that it was the residence of the powerful immortal family.
"The name of the owner of this mountain is Zhen Yuanzi. He was taught by the ancestor of Qiankun. The Qiankun in his sleeve is extremely exquisite. He is a powerful person of the same generation as my teacher. When we meet later, you need to treat each other with courtesy. Don't give up. It’s my teacher’s face.” Taoist Tongtian ordered.
"yes."
All the accompanying disciples immediately nodded in agreement.
Zhan Yu looked at the Wanshou Mountain in front of him, but he was thinking about the treasure ginseng fruit in Wuzhuang Temple. It was a rare treasure. According to rumors in later generations, its reputation was enough to rank with the flat peach as the highest in the world. How could he not be greedy for it? ?
The so-called Zhu Bajie eats ginseng fruit and has no idea what it tastes like.
This is not because he covets the power of ginseng fruit, but because Journey to the West in his previous life was so beautiful and the deliciousness of ginseng fruit left a deep impression on him in his childhood.
"Teacher, it is said that Zhen Yuanzi has a companion spiritual creature called a ginseng fruit tree, which has the most innate earth element spiritual root in the ancient world. I wonder if today's disciples can take advantage of the teacher's light to enjoy it?" Zhan Yuxiao asked.
Tongtian stroked his long beard and laughed loudly: "Well, you three-eyed toad, if you can't taste the wonders of ginseng fruit today, wouldn't it mean that the teacher is not showing enough face? Please relax, Taoist friend Zhen Yuanzi is not a stingy person." .”
As soon as Tongtian finished speaking, an eager voice came from Wanshou Mountain: "Fellow Taoist Shangqing, please be patient. We have already prepared the ginseng fruit. How can I let you lose face in front of my disciples?"
"Hahaha……"
Seeing his old friend walking backwards to greet each other, Taoist Tongtian laughed heartily. He quickly got off the Kui Niu and saluted from a distance: "Fellow Taoist Zhenyuan, we have been separated for many years. Are you okay?"
Taoist Tongtian's greeting instantly brought Zhen Yuanzi's mind back to the turbulent years when Taoists and demons were fighting each other, and old scenes returned to him.
At that time, the demon ancestor Luohu whipped the world, and Patriarch Hongjun, who had not yet achieved the position of Taoist ancestor, responded to his call. He also sat down with him to conquer the demons in the west, and joined forces with a group of like-minded people to break through the gap in Mount Xumi!
When all the thoughts came to an end, Zhen Yuanzi's spiritual thoughts returned to his eyes. He saw that his old friend was still in high spirits, but he was lonely. He couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said: "Pindao's current state makes my old friend laugh. .”
Taoist Tongtian sighed and couldn't help but comforted him: "If Taoist Fellow Hongyun is still here, he definitely doesn't want to see his lifelong best friend lose weight."
Thinking of the death of Hongyun, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but feel sad. He quickly suppressed the sadness and changed the subject: "These little friends are the disciples of Taoist Tongtian. As expected, they are all rare in the world. The talented man, Pindao, has ordered Qingfeng and Mingyue to pick the ginseng fruits. I think they are ready by now. The ginseng fruits are most delicious when they are first picked. Please hurry up and take a look inside!"
Zhan Yu followed Master Tongtian as he walked towards the Wuzhuang Temple. At this moment, he was greatly shocked. When he saw Zhen Yuanzi today, he realized that there was a person with true love and nature in this ancient world, and he couldn't help but respect him in his heart.
The path to immortality is elusive and full of disasters.
Who doesn’t want to have an old friend like Zhen Yuanzi to mourn him after he passes away?
The Shangqing lineage entered Wuzhuang Temple.
Taoist Tongtian and Zhen Yuanzi sat on the throne together, and disciples from Shangqing Palace also sat on both sides. Although Qingfeng and Mingyue looked cautious, they quickly served ginseng fruits to the distinguished guests.
Seeing that the two boys did nothing wrong, Zhen Yuanzi was very satisfied. A smile could not help but appear on his extremely handsome face. He picked up an exquisite fruit as clear as a baby and said: "The humble house is simple and simple. You can still taste this ginseng fruit, please give it a try."
The disciples Zhan Yu and Kong Xuan had already been seduced by the aroma of ginseng fruit. They wanted to swallow the fruit on the small square table next to them in one bite. However, if they acted rashly, they would definitely offend their teacher, so they could only look at Tongtian. , waiting for the teacher to speak.
The aroma of ginseng fruit was refreshing, and Taoist Tongtian couldn't help but feel greedy. When he saw all the disciples looking at him, they were obviously eager. He was also a straightforward person, and said directly: "Look at what I do as a teacher, this ginseng fruit can strengthen the foundation and cultivate the body." It’s an excellent thing, why don’t you thank you, Master Zhen Yuanzi?”
"Thank you, Uncle Zhen Yuanzi!"
Zhan Yu resisted the urge to swallow the ginseng fruit, held the spiritual fruit in his mouth and savored it, letting it turn into spiritual liquid and fall into his stomach.
As the medicinal power of the ginseng fruit spread throughout his body, he clearly felt a spiritual power washing back and forth in his body, washing away the essence and marrow.
Under this effect, both the qi, blood and soul are visibly more transparent to the naked eye, truly achieving a state of refreshing energy and clarity.
At this moment, he suddenly entered a state of harmony between body and Tao. The physical body turned into the universe, and the acupoints all over his body shone like stars, rhythmically absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
At this time, Zhan Yu had entered a state of enlightenment and had no idea that he had inadvertently revealed the Star God's body...
