Chapter 478: Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi
“Bajie is so courageous, he actually ate 12 fruits in one breath...” Cheng Long, who had been paying attention to Bajie and Sha Seng’s movements throughout the whole process, was very worried about Bajie. I have a deeper understanding of my character of failing to succeed but failing.
Based on his background as a human sect, he didn’t take the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi seriously, and he was just rushing to death to offend him. Even if he hadn’t eaten too much, Bajie himself wouldn’t have been able to withstand the majestic power contained in the ginseng fruit. Yuan Qi, he estimated that he would eat every ginseng fruit on the tree.
Sha Monk didn’t taste any of them, but he was caught in the act, which was really unlucky.
But the beating was not unfair at all.
Sha Monk just didn't eat the ginseng fruit, it didn't mean he didn't have the idea of eating the ginseng fruit secretly.
So, Cheng Long did not intervene and just sat back and watched the development of the matter.
It wasn't until Qingfeng Mingyue captured Sha Seng and Bajie who was hiding in a corner to refine ginseng fruit, and brought them to Tang Seng to ask for an explanation, that they showed up.
"Two fairy boys, who are you?"
Tang Seng, who was staying in the side hall, chanting sutras and chanting Buddha, was confused when he saw Bajie and Sha Seng being escorted back by Qingfeng Mingyue. He stood up with doubts in his eyes.
"Hmph~~ We were kind enough to entertain you, including fast food and ginseng fruit, but it turned out to be a good thing. We kindly entertained two big thieves!" Qingfeng asked angrily: "Elder Tang, your two good disciples just ate it secretly. He gave us 13 ginseng fruits and our master The ginseng fruit tree was ruined beyond recognition. How are you going to settle this debt? "
"Bajie, is this happening?"
Hearing this, Tang Monk looked over and wailed, holding his stomach. Zhu Bajie, the eldest disciple, had a look of shame and annoyance on his face.
This idiot is not only lustful and greedy, but also sneaky. He is nothing but a puddle of mud. If Bajie was not the disciple designated by the Bodhisattva, he would have expelled him from his school.
“Master, Master, I was just curious about the taste of ginseng fruit and wanted to try one. Unexpectedly, I couldn’t stop eating it and my stomach was full of food.”
Bajie was so depressed that he ate 12 ginseng fruits in one go. Before he could refine the powerful medicinal power in his body, he was caught and beaten by Qingfeng Mingyue.
Now not only my stomach feels uncomfortable, but my whole body begins to feel uncomfortable.
"Taking it without asking is a thief! Bajie, why don't you understand such a simple truth?" Tang Seng hated the iron and said angrily: "You are like this, how can you continue to be a teacher in the future? Be with you? "
"Ah...Master, you don't want to expel me from the master, do you?" Bajie suddenly panicked.
Similarly panicked were the Sha Monks. They traveled to the West, but were knocked down hundreds of years in advance. One was mistakenly reborn as a pig, and the other endured the pain of being pierced by thousands of arrows all day long.
If you were kicked out of the school for stealing ginseng fruit, wouldn't that be a big injustice?
So, he began to argue with reason.
"Master, we really didn't mean to steal the ginseng fruit. We are really angry! The two fairy boys just gave you the ginseng fruit. If you don't want it, then you should give it to me and senior brother to try, but they divided it. Just eat, isn’t this looking down on others?”
“What’s wrong with looking down on you?”
Tang Seng hasn’t spoken yet, and his anger has not subsided. When Qingfeng saw that his subordinates were defeated and put the blame on themselves, he immediately lost his temper and said angrily: "Ginseng fruit is one of the few spiritual roots in the world. The fruit it produces can make a mortal live 360 years after smelling it. If you eat one, you can live for 47,000 years, and if you eat two, you can become an immortal instantly. How can such a huge opportunity be obtained by thieves like you?"
"I'm not a thief, I'm Marshal Tianpeng."
Bajie retorted subconsciously.
"Humph~~What can Marshal Tianpeng do? Hasn't he turned into a pig now?"
With Mingyue's words, Zhu Bajie, who insisted on fighting, became depressed.
Yes, he was prominent and noble in his previous life, but now he is just a successful pig demon.
This is an indisputable fact.
"Two fairy boys, poor monk and disciple, their greedy talk has caused great disaster. I wonder what you are going to do with them?" Tang Seng didn't know how to solve this matter for a while, so he could only take one step at a time. .
I don’t know when Cheng Long came to the main hall of the side hall, folded his arms and leaned against the stone pillar quietly, letting the breeze and the bright moon question Monk Tang.
You must admit your mistakes and stand upright when you are beaten.
Tang Sanzang did this very well and did not quibble or deny the facts.
"Of course, we will put you in jail until the master comes back. We are just informing you and this elder that before our master comes back, you can only move around in the front yard and are not allowed to leave without authorization. Violators will bear the consequences."
"Mingyue, let's go."
Qingfeng left these words, then called Mingyue to escort Bajie and Sha Seng, and turned around and left angrily.
Tang Monk looked at the backs of several people walking away, anxious. He subconsciously looked at Cheng Long and asked: "Brother Sun, Bajie and Sha Monk were caught stealing spiritual fruits. What's going on? Okay?”
"Ginseng fruit is a rare treasure that can make people live longer and even ascend during the day. It takes ten thousand years to produce only thirty fruits. Bajie and Sha Seng secretly ate thirteen of them. When Zhen Yuanzi comes back, they will definitely be furious. .”
At this point, Cheng Long changed the topic and whispered: "Why don't we leave secretly at night to avoid being implicated? After all, traveling to the west is the business. Bajie and Sha Seng were arranged by the Bodhisattva to ward off disasters for you, but now... you I have also seen that they have no ability to help you prevent disasters, but instead cause a lot of troubles. . ”
“Isn’t this good?”
Tang Seng did not expect Brother Sun to give such an answer. At first glance, it seemed a little cold and heartless, but in fact, the Bodhisattva arranged it. So many people followed him to the West to seek scriptures, and he really wanted these people to help ward off disasters.
If Bajie and Sha Seng are capable, that's all. If they are really not capable, they can help lead the horses and carry luggage.
But if he causes trouble like this and may even harm his apprentice, there is really no need to go to all the trouble to rescue him. Leaving secretly may be the best option.
But he is a monk!
The disciple made a mistake and became the master and left overnight. From now on, when he arrives at the Great Thunder Sound Temple, how can he have the dignity to meet me, Buddha Tathagata?
"Sanzang, Dang Duan is constantly being disturbed. You must make a choice now, otherwise once the Immortal Zhen Yuanzi comes back, even I won't be able to protect you."
Cheng Long is indeed There was no guarantee that Tang Sanzang could be taken away safely without exposing his true cultivation level.
The Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi could trap him to death just by knowing everything in his sleeve.
"No, no, I am a monk. How can I do something treacherous?"
"Sanzang, this is not treachery, this is the destruction of relatives for justice."
What Cheng Long said is right, Tang Monk is now Giving up on Bajie and Monk Sha can be described as a clear distinction between love and hate. It is not considered a breach of trust, but at most it is a bit unresponsible.
"..."
Tang Seng twitched the corner of his mouth, once again feeling embarrassed and annoyed by the behavior of Bajie and Sha Seng. These two bastards were either eating or sleeping. Now he is still sneaking around and causing big trouble.
Taking it with me makes me feel a little shameless.
Ever since!
Wait until the night is quiet.
Tang Monk, who couldn't sleep, secretly came to Cheng Long's room and said in a lowered voice: "Brother Sun, I have thought clearly. Pursuing Buddhist scriptures is a major matter. I cannot neglect the important task of studying scriptures for the sake of two sneaky disciples. , let’s go.”
“Okay.”
Cheng Long smiled.
Tang Seng’s changes were something he loved to see and hear.
Tang Sanzang, who was not pedantic and knew how to weigh the pros and cons, was his favorite Tang Sanzang.
After a while, the two packed their luggage and secretly left Wuzhuang Temple with the white dragon horse.
Maybe it was because Bajie and Monk Sha were imprisoned. They never thought that Sun Wukong and Tang Monk would leave, so they walked very smoothly. The mountain guarding formation did not stop them at all. .
Overnight, at Tang Seng's urging, Cheng Long took him running for hundreds of miles, and did not stop until he was far away from Wuzhuang Temple. ......
Western Heaven, Daleiyin Temple.
When the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats looked at the scene in the void, their expressions became playful. Tathagata Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help but twitch their lips.
The person they chose to learn the scriptures actually escaped from Wuzhuang Temple overnight because he was afraid of Zhen Yuanzi, and even ignored his apprentice.
Isn’t this another slap in the face to such timid Buddhist practitioners?
"World Honored One, we can't blame Sanzang and Wukong for this. It's really Bajie and Sha Seng who are so unreliable. Even if they secretly ate ginseng fruits, Bajie, that idiot, actually ate a dozen of them in one go. , let alone Qingfengming Even if it’s a month, I would also be very angry.”
Although Guanyin also looks down on Zhu Bajie, except for Tang Monk and Sun Wukong who are the destiny’s Buddhist scripture collectors, she chose the other three. of.
Although there are some transactions and inside stories involved, in any case, if Bajie and Sha Seng can become Buddhist monks, they are her first picks.
Now that Bajie and Sha Seng have made mistakes, she can only shamelessly make amends.
Bajie and Sha Seng can be ignored, but Tang Seng and Wukong must not be looked down upon.
"It is right for Sanzang to leave. After all, things have priorities. They cannot stay in Wuzhuangguan and wait for Zhen Yuanzi to come back for the sake of Bajie and Monk Sha."
Tathagata Buddha finished speaking, Looking around, the Bodhisattvas and Arhats below all praise and agree with me.
It can be seen that Tathagata Buddha has done perfect obedience training over the years. As long as he sets the tone for anything, no one in the main hall dares to speak against it.
Meanwhile...
Heavenly Court, inside the Lingxiao Palace.
Taibai Jinxing looked at the picture transmitted by the Haotian Mirror and chuckled: "Your Majesty, it seems that the Buddhist scripture collectors are not selfless people!"
"How can there be? What kind of selflessness is there as long as you are a human being? Greedy, angry and foolish, Tang Monk thought that his whole life was to seek the Buddha's scriptures, and he could give up anyone for this purpose. Little did he know that the moment he escaped from Wuzhuang Temple, he was poisoned by anger. "The Jade Emperor hit the nail on the head. , directly pointed out Tang Seng's current state.
"No one is perfect. Tang Seng had to escape from Wuzhuangguan due to the actions of Bajie and Sha Seng. It is understandable that he gave up on them." The Queen Mother gave a very pertinent comment.
“Let’s not talk about Tang Monk for now.”
The Jade Emperor smiled and changed the conversation: "Do you think Wukong is strange? He seems to have a calmness about controlling the overall situation and doesn't care about anything?"
"Wukong is now at a certain distance. Holy, it’s just a finishing touch, so it’s not surprising that she has no interest in other things. "The Queen Mother has actually been paying attention to Sun Wukong, secretly following him dozens of times, and every time she sees Sun Wukong, she feels a sense of closeness to him for no reason.
Fortunately, this feeling is not very strong, otherwise she would suspect that she is in love with someone else.
……
Wuzhuang Temple.
Seeing that one-third of the ginseng fruit was missing, a cold look flashed in Zhen Yuanzi's eyes. With a wave of his long sleeves, he saw Qingfeng Mingyue and the two boys flying backwards and falling heavily to the ground, vomiting blood.
"You two losers, you can't even bear the ginseng fruit, what use do you have?"
"Master, children are incompetent, please punish them."
Qingfengmingyueliang The people were lying on the ground, showing an attitude of letting the master beat and scold them, but they were secretly relieved. Since the master didn't kill them directly in that moment, it means that the master would not kill them. .
This level has been temporarily avoided.
After all, in his rage, he just made them vomit some blood and didn't even hurt their vital parts. This shows that the master still loves them.
After spending countless years together, even the most ruthless and indifferent people will develop feelings for each other, not to mention that the master is very kind to them.
Zhen Yuanzi also knew in his heart that Tang Monk and his group secretly ate ginseng fruits, which was a certain number. Only Zhu Bajie secretly ate 12 ginseng fruits, which was actually pretty good.
If Sun Wukong also participates, maybe the ginseng and fruit trees will be overthrown!
At that time, even if he killed Qingfeng Mingyue, it would be of no avail.
Of course, the ginseng fruit in front of you is not real. The real ginseng fruit was hidden by Zhen Yuanzi. The current one is just a twig.
However, the ginseng fruits on the tree are all real ginseng fruits, which Zhen Yuanzi transplanted with great effort.
It doesn’t matter even if the ginseng fruit is pushed.
What really distressed him was that one-third of the fruit was missing, which was almost twice as much as the four or five planned.
“Watch Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha carefully, don’t let them run away again!”
With a thought from Zhen Yuanzi, an auspicious cloud rose under his feet, dragging him up into the sky. Almost instantly, he found Cheng Long and Tang Seng. Tang Seng, who had been running away all night, was resting under a tree to regain his energy. .
One step forward.
Zhen Yuanzi, who was in the sky above Wuzhuang Temple, suddenly disappeared without a trace.
When he appeared again, he was already in the sky above the jungle where Cheng Long and Tang Seng were. The free and elegant fairy atmosphere made people marvel at it.
Cheng Long has never met Zhen Yuanzi, but he can tell the person's identity from his dress and demeanor.
"Is this the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi?"
Cheng Long raised his hand to Zhen Yuanzi above the jungle.
“Yes, it’s this great immortal.”
Zhen Yuanzi took a step forward. He was soaring above the jungle and instantly came to Cheng Long and Tang Seng. .
No condescension, no condescension.
It feels very easy-going.
“Meet the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi!”
Tang Monk bowed respectfully.
"The Great Immortal is here for Bajie and Sha Seng?"
It is a blessing, not a curse, but it is a curse that cannot be avoided.
Now that Zhen Yuanzi has come to the door, there is no need to pretend to be confused.
"Exactly."
Zhen Yuanzi was holding a fly whisk in one hand and carrying his back in the other. He originally wanted to scold Cheng Long and Tang Seng, but when he thought that they were not the ones who stole the ginseng fruit, he couldn't He temporarily changed his words back.
"The pig demon and the river demon are yours after all. I have to ask your opinion."
"Great Immortal, do you mean we can talk about it?"
Tang Seng's face was overjoyed, his two disciples were saved.
