The Monkey King: Chapter 521 : Ginseng fruit

   Being asked by Zhen Yuanzi, Xuanzang couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

  Others didn't take it seriously, they just took it as a polite remark, and what should be done, but Xuanzang knew the weight of this sentence.

  Tao and Buddha are two schools, although there is no direct conflict, but in the end they are different in teaching.

   The so-called Taos are different and do not conspire with each other.

If Xuanzang took the initiative to propose, it would be fine. This dignified longevity Daxian Zhen Yuanzi, one of the few great masters in Taoism, actually said that he was curious about the "Purdu" belonging to Buddhism, and asked Xuanzang to tell him a story. Saying such words, this really had to make Xuanzang puzzled.

  For a while, Xuanzang, who had always collapsed in front of Mount Tai without changing his face, was a little unsure.

   Of course, it wasn't just Xuanzang who was puzzled among the people present at this time. The monkey on the other side had already narrowed his eyes.

   Not long ago, didn’t Qingxin just tell Monkey that Taoism was also provoked by him? If it is said that the Three Pure Ones or Subhuti raised his hand to obstruct it, the monkeys really don't believe it. This is not their style. After thinking about it, among the great powers, only this stunned Qingzhen Yuanzi is likely to stand out.

   Could it be that the so-called provoked Taoism was referring to him?

  Thinking of this, the monkey's brows were slightly raised, and the gaze of Zhen Yuanzi became more and more meaningful.

   Seeing that Xuanzang was a little hesitant, Zhen Yuanzi then cupped his hands and said, "I also hope that Master Xuanzang will give me some advice."

   said, bowed and made a gesture of worship.

  Xuanzang was startled, so he had to step forward to help him, and said, "The Great Immortal Longevity has received a lot of gifts. Xuanzang can't bear this gift."

   "Then Master Xuanzang agreed?" Raising his head, Zhen Yuanzi looked at Xuanzang with a smile.

   "This..." Blinking blankly, Xuanzang looked at the monkey beside him, hesitated for a while, and then put his hands together. He said softly, "Xuanzang...just do your best."

   Hearing the words, Zhen Yuanzi slowly raised his body, stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "Pin Dao thanked Master Xuanzang first here."

   Xuanzang folded his hands together and replied, "Don't dare."

  's brows on the monkey's side have long since become eight characters.

   With this attitude, even if the monkey was killed, he did not believe that Zhen Yuanzi had no plans.

   At this moment, several Taoist disciples walked in slowly from outside the door carrying various dishes, and quickly filled a colorful table.

   One of the Taoist disciples walked slowly to Zhen Yuanzi's side and said, "Master. The vegetarian dishes are all ready."

   Zhen Motoko nodded. Then he said to Xuanzang: "This is the vegetarian dish that I specially prepared for you at Wuzhuangguan. Please take it slowly. The journey is exhausting, and the poor road will not disturb you to rest. After the afternoon, the poor road will send someone over. Pick up Master Xuanzang."

   Xuanzang folded his hands together, bowed and said, "I have a long life and a long life."

   "Poor Dao, farewell." After that, Zhen Yuanzi turned around and walked out. The group of Taoists also followed closely, leaving only one standing outside the door, ready to be dispatched.

   After Zhen Yuanzi left, everyone slowly gathered around the table of dishes.

The original simple vegetarian dishes have changed into countless patterns in the hands of the chefs of Wuzhuangguan. From a distance, there are birds, animals, flowers, green leaves, and various dishes, just like pieces of art. . It has even been difficult to discern its original material.

   Seeing these dishes, Xiao Bailong immediately burst into joy: "This is what people eat, yes, it's not worse than my West Sea Dragon Palace chef. However, we have to try the taste before we can make a final conclusion."

   After saying that, he picked up his chopsticks and stretched out to the dish.

   But before he touched the dish. Just listening to the "pop" sound, the hand has been slapped away by the monkey.

This shot, Xiao Bailong was taken aback for a moment, he quickly took the chopsticks in both hands and sent them to the monkey, and said with a smile: "Yes, the great sage should move the chopsticks first. Look at Ao Lie, it's been a long time since I ate good food. , even the greedy worms have been raised. Hey, confused, confused."

   said, and pretended to slap his mouth.

   reached out and took the chopsticks handed over by Xiao Bailong. The monkey glanced at him lightly and sighed, "So greedy, it's not wrong to be poisoned."

   "Toxic?"

   As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

   Xuanzang took a deep breath and said, "It shouldn't be, after all, he is the Great Immortal of Longevity."

"What do you know? Could it be good intentions for him to invite us here? Let's just say, just based on the festivals I had with him, under what circumstances would he treat us warmly? It's better to be careful." Said, the monkey kicked Stepping on the chair, he stretched out his chopsticks to flip through the dishes, and the spiritual power flowed into the dishes through his hands along the chopsticks.

   The monkey waved his hand and said, "I've confirmed that it's not poisonous, let's eat it."

   After saying that, he put the chopsticks on the table, turned around and walked out the door, leaving everyone looking at each other at a table of dishes.

   After a while, Xiao Bailong looked at the dish and smiled slowly, and said, "Master, isn't it too much? How could Daxian Longevity do such a ridiculous thing?"

   looked up, only to realize that not only did the other people not smile, but they all looked serious, so he quickly took away the smiles on their faces.

   After a long time, Tianpeng sighed lightly and said, "There's nothing wrong with being careful. Since it's confirmed that it's not poisonous, eat it."

   said, and sat on the chair first.

  …

   At this time, in another part of Wuzhuang Temple, a Taoist slowly walked into the hall with a plate that should have a red cloth.

   "Master, the ginseng fruit has been picked, there are five in total."

   Zhen Yuanzi, who was sitting cross-legged and eyes closed, slowly opened one eye.

   The Taoist immediately lifted a corner of the red cloth.

   Beneath the red cloth, the ginseng fruits in the shape of a baby were radiating a milky white shimmer.

   covered the red cloth again, and the Taoist asked softly, "Master, are you sending the ginseng fruit now?"

   Slowly closed his eyes, Zhen Yuanzi said in a low voice: "Let's put it aside for now, don't worry. We will make a decision after the teacher has discussed with the Master Xuanzang."

   "The disciple obeys."

  The Taoist bowed towards Zhen Yuanzi. Holding a plate with ginseng fruit in both hands, he slowly exited the hall.

  …

   At this time, the monkeys were searching around in Wuzhuang Temple.

   The huge Wuzhuang Temple is as large as a palace, but there are only sixty or seventy Taoists living in it. As for the defensive array. Although there are a lot of them, they are not activated, so that the monkeys are like no one.

   In this short time, Xuanzang and others hadn't even finished their meal, and the monkeys had already searched the entire Wuzhuang Temple, and even went under the ginseng fruit tree, however. Nothing unusual was found. The uninterested monkey had to turn back to the attic where he lived.

   in the blink of an eye. It was noon, and Zhen Yuanzi really sent someone.

   As soon as the disciple crossed the threshold, he saw the monkey's golden hoop stick in front of him.

   Crossed Erlang's legs, the monkey looked at the Taoist swayingly.

   Seeing this, the Taoist had to stop, and bowed to Xuanzang through the golden hoop, and then to the monkey. Said: "The master ordered the disciples to come and pick up Master Xuanzang to the main hall."

  Monkey raised his head and asked with a smile, "Can I go together?"

"Row."

   "What about the others?"

"also."

   turned his head, and the monkey waved to the other people and said, "In this case, let's go to the main hall together."

   "A few please." After saying that, the disciple turned sideways and made a "please" gesture.

   Everyone looked at each other, and one by one they got up and went with them.

   After a short while, under the guidance of the Taoist disciple, everyone came to the main hall.

   Seeing everyone, Zhen Yuanzi was still as polite as before, and immediately got up to greet him.

  The two sides greeted each other. After they were seated and served tea, Zhen Yuanzi said softly: "Pin Dao has always been puzzled about this 'Purdu', and I asked Master Xuanzang to clarify."

   "The Great Immortal Longevity, please speak." Xuanzang said immediately.

  Zhen Yuanzi cleared his throat and said: "The so-called Purdue Purdue, this 'Pu', is the meaning of the great unity of all beings. This 'du' is to reach the other shore. Is there any error or omission in the poor way?"

   "No errors or omissions."

   "Oh?" Hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi smiled faintly, stroked his long beard and said, "Since that's the case, then the poor Daoist has to ask curiously, where is the other side?"

Xuanzang raised his head slightly, pondered for a moment, and folded his hands together and replied respectfully: "The other side, the opposite side is the sea of ​​misery. Crossing means to help him escape from the sea of ​​misery. What the other side refers to is naturally the place of bliss. already."

  Zhen Yuanzi stroked his long beard with one hand, laughed hehe, and said, "Then can I ask Master Xuanzang to explain this 'Bliss' in detail to the poor Taoist?"

"The poor monk is showing his ugliness." Xuanzang bowed slightly, then paused for a while, as if to clarify his thoughts, and said, "This so-called place of bliss is not a real place, but a sudden realization of suffering in life, suffering in old age, Sickness, death, separation from love, suffering from hatred and hatred, suffering from not being able to seek, suffering from the five yin blazing, freeing from the eight sufferings…”

   The two of them chatted with each other, Zhen Yuanzi kept asking questions, and Xuanzang answered any questions he had. From time to time, Zhen Yuanzi would nod in agreement.

The monkey beside    was a little dazed when he saw it.

  What do you think, Zhen Yuanzi didn't mean to make things difficult, but rather an attitude of humbly asking for advice.

   What's the matter?

   Could it be that the great immortal Wanshou also plans to switch to martial arts?

  If this is true, then it is really a good thing. With such a powerful person who is famous in the Three Realms, the road to the west will surely be much smoother.

   After listening to this for a long time, the two of them talked about what Purdue was, and talked about how to preach Purdue, and preached various details of Purdue.

   In this part, Xuanzang admitted that he had not really had an epiphany, and that Zhen Yuanzi also expressed his understanding, and even made some small suggestions.

   That attitude was really kind.

   "Could it be that I am over-hearted, and use the heart of a villain to treat a gentleman's belly?" The monkey couldn't help but wonder.

   The more they talked, the more mysterious they became. Gradually, among the people present, only Xuanzang could understand.

   stretched, the monkey left behind the crowd, and slowly walked out of the hall with a golden hoop and looked up at the sky, with a blank expression on his face. But up to this point, he still used his spiritual sense to lock onto Xuanzang's location, and within a mile radius around him, nothing could escape his eyes and ears.

   However, Zhen Yuanzi's attitude remained the same, and he didn't mean to tear his face and do something.

   "Hey. It seems that I really think too much." Shaking his head helplessly, the monkey turned and returned to the hall.

  Zhen Yuanzi is a Daoist master in the end. Many dharmas, including Buddhist sects and sects, are actually the same. Xuanzang only had to say a word. Then Zhen Yuanzi could understand what Xuanzang was thinking, and then made inferences.

   After a short while, the discussion in the hall was nearing its end. Xuanzang had nothing to explain, so he had to bow his head in obeisance.

   That Zhen Yuanzi didn't do much to make things difficult, just laughed and raised his hand. The Taoist disciple who had been waiting on the side brought the plate covered with red cloth to Zhen Yuanzi.

"Pin Dao thanked Master Xuanzang for explaining it today. The way of Purdue really makes the Pin Dao feel relieved. If this way is proven, it will be a blessing for all beings." Reaching out the red cloth, Zhen Yuanzi chuckled lightly: "This is the ginseng fruit that I planted in my view. There are five in total, and I will give it to you. It is only a resource for Master Xuanzang to explain to the poor Taoist today, to express his feelings, and please Master Xuanzang not to refuse."

   Seeing the baby-shaped ginseng fruit exuding a soft glow, everyone present couldn't help but take a second glance.

  The three worlds all know that ginseng fruit is a life-extending treasure that is as famous as Tianting Panda. Those present, Tianpeng and Xiaobailong have even eaten Panda. Even at this time, there were still three peaches in the group's luggage. To them. Peach is nothing.

   But these two are equally famous for their effects, and this rarity is not equivalent.

  Although Pantao is planted in Jiuzhongtian, it takes a long time to mature, but there is an entire Pantao Garden with thousands of Panta trees. Really count down. In one day in the mortal world, several peaches ripen in the heaven. And this ginseng fruit tree is the only one in the sky and the earth, there is no semicolon, and the time it takes to mature is tens of thousands of years in the world. In addition, the preservation time of ginseng fruit after picking is extremely short, many people in the Three Realms have heard of its name, but very few have actually seen it, not to mention the chance to enjoy it.

   Among the people present, only Tianpeng had smelled it when he was a guard in the courtyard in the early years of Zhenyuanzi and offered ginseng fruit to the Jade Emperor. As for the ginseng fruit-flavored tea that Zhong Zhenyuanzi brought out during the private meeting between Tianpeng and Zhenyuanzi, that was nothing.

   Holding the plate, the Taoist walked slowly to Xuanzang, bowed his body, and said softly, "Master Xuanzang, please."

   Xuanzang looked at the ginseng fruit on the plate, hesitated for a while, and said, "If you don't have merit, you won't be rewarded. Xuanzang can't accept this gift."

"Let's take it." Zhen Yuanzi sighed lightly: "Pin Dao has already said it, so it should be the information for Master Xuanzang to explain to Pin Dao today. After this ginseng fruit is picked from the fruit tree, it can only be kept for one day. Since It has already been taken down, and I also ask Master Xuanzang not to refuse, and even ruin the heavenly things. The Tibetan scriptures are worth a thousand pieces. As long as Master Xuanzang understands the true meaning of the way of Purdue in the future, remember to go back to the Wuzhuang Temple and communicate with him. After the poor way, the poor way will be satisfied."

   Hearing the words, Xuanzang looked towards the monkey. After confirming that the monkey did not express his objection, he put his hands together and bowed, "In that case, Xuanzang will thank the Great Immortal Wanshou."

   At this time, it was night.

   took the ginseng fruit, said goodbye to Zhen Yuanzi, and everyone returned to their residence under the guidance of the Taoist disciples.

   As soon as he returned to his residence, the monkey checked the ginseng fruit he had just received, and after confirming that it was non-toxic, he sent it to everyone with confidence.

  The black bear spirit happily hid the ginseng fruit in his sleeve, smelled it from time to time, and said that he would leave it for another night and eat it tomorrow.

   Xiaobailong needless to say, took it and started to eat, chewing slowly, with a look of enjoyment.

  Tianpeng took the ginseng fruit and sat in the moonlight to examine it carefully, as if curious as to why the fruit took the shape of a baby.

The   monkey didn't take it at all, and placed it on the table together with Xuanzang's one. He walked out the door silently to take up the responsibility of the vigil.

Time passed so slowly, and in the middle of the night, the monkey sitting cross-legged on the roof looked down and saw the canopy holding ginseng fruit sitting in the yard, and couldn't help but say: "Don't look, I'll let you look again. It looks bad. Let’s eat it quickly. If you want to send it to Fairy Nishang tomorrow morning, I still have one, just take it.”

Tian Peng stroked the white jade-like fruit body and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Nishang already has pancakes, and it is meaningless to eat this ginseng fruit. If you just want to try it, wait until Tian Peng remembers the taste and see you later. It's the same if you change your face into two."

   "Hey, I thought you were trying to figure out how to give away ginseng fruit."

   "Since I have agreed to go west, I will not leave casually."

  Monkey sighed and said, "I still believe you on this point."

Just at this moment, Xiao Bailong pushed open the door and walked out from the inside, covering his stomach, muttering, "This Zhen Yuanzi really has bad intentions, just send ginseng fruit, and you have to yin us. One, it's true."

   After saying this, the monkey quickly stood up and shouted sharply, "What happened?"

Lifting his head, Xiao Bailong grinned at the monkey and said, "It's nothing, the great sage, don't be nervous. That guy Zhen Yuanzi, he didn't explain how to eat ginseng fruits when he gave them ginseng fruits. This thing is different from pan peach, when you eat it... Hehe, you must exercise your spiritual power when you eat, otherwise the meridians will be disturbed. But it’s okay, just adjust your breath yourself. I didn’t know it just now, so I just ate it, and now I have a seizure.”

   said, he laughed. The monkeys present, the canopy, were already pale.

  …

   At this time, a Taoist hurried into the candle-lit hall, knelt down in front of Zhen Yuanzi, and reported in a low voice: "Master, the disciple responsible for the dispatch of Master Xuanzang and his party has just reported for the third watch."

"Oh?" Zhen Yuanzi opened his eyes, smiled slowly, and sighed: "So, Xuanzang has already eaten the ginseng fruit? It's good to eat it, it's good to eat it. After so many years, this is still The first Buddhist disciple to eat ginseng fruit." (To be continued~^~)
