Chapter 14 Stealing Ginseng Fruit

The master and disciple walked across the mountains and stayed overnight and walked all the way, without any further explanation. However, when the Bodhisattva and the others left, Tang Monk was diligent in his journey, and after a long time, he could not help but have a lazy disease recurred. He walked on the road for one day, three days off, one step, and ten steps. It took him about half a year before the journey was completed, and the team to obtain scriptures came to a fairy mountain called Wanshou Mountain.

At this time, at the end of summer, the weather is pleasant, and it is the season when the grains are abundant and the flowers and fruits are ripe.

"Advisors, I'm walking in my stomach for the master. Is there anyone in front of me?" Tang Seng rode on the horse and kept panting. Wukong jumped onto a big tree, put his hand on the awning, and said, "Master, there's a big pavilion in front of me. I don't know if it's a temple or a Taoist temple!" Bajie said happily after hearing this, "That's great, let's go and rest quickly."

Sha Seng patted Bajie's stomach: "By the way, let's have another vegetarian meal." Bajie laughed loudly. Wukong jumped off the tree and scolded Bajie: "You fool, you haven't become a son-in-law, just eat and rest. Just like you delayed like this, when will you reach the West?"

"Wukong, don't blame your junior brother." Tang Seng immediately stopped him, and then ordered: "Speed ​​up the itinerary and go to that Zen temple to take a look."

The group speeded up and walked until the afternoon, and finally arrived at a Taoist temple by the side of the mountain. Gao Lan looked up and confirmed that this was indeed the legendary Wuzhuang Temple! The Taoist temple was tall and simple, surrounded by immortal clouds, and was connected by clouds, boundless and endless, and it really seemed like a god's cave. The masters and disciples walked to the door of the Taoist temple and saw a couplet hanging on it.

"Madam, what do you think is written on it?" Because the couplet is written in large seal script, Bajie wanted to take the test of Gao Lan. Gao Lan smiled and said, "Do you think I don't know the word? It says: the same world, the same dream." Sha Seng quickly corrected: "The junior sister said it wrong. It says: The immortal palace of immortality, the same life as Tian Shou Taoist family."

"Hmph, what a big tone!" When Sun Wukong saw it, he looked contempt. Tang Monk got off the horse and said, "Don't talk nonsense and bump into others. Wujing, go and call the door." Sha Monk took the order and stepped forward to knock on the door of the observation. He saw two fairy boys greeted him and asked, "Who is the visitor?"

Tang Monk once again spoke the old saying: "I came from the Tang Dynasty in the East and followed the order of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to go to the Great Leiyin Temple in the West to worship Buddha and seek the true scriptures. I passed by Baoguan and wanted to stay overnight. If there was any inconvenience, I hope the fairy boy would let him go..." After hearing this, the Taoist boy quickly interrupted him and said, "I can't remember these many words."

Tang Monk looked helpless: "I am Tang Monk."

The Taoist boy smiled and said, "It turned out to be Elder Tang. The master told us to wait. Teacher Chang's disciples came to come and have a treat. Please!" After hearing this, Tang Monk was so happy that he took his disciples to the Wuzhuang Temple together. After entering the temple, Tang Monk and his party, Qingfeng and Mingyue, the two Taoist boys, saw the ceremony, went to the main hall to pay their respects.

When Tang Monk saw that there was no Taoist ancestor in the Zen room, and only offered the word "heaven and earth", he couldn't help asking: "That is Taiyi Xuanmen, how can he not worship the Three Pure Ones?"

After hearing this, Qingfeng said with satisfaction: "It's true that the Sanqing is a friend of the family teacher, the Siyu is an old friend of the family teacher, the Jiuyao is a junior of the family teacher, and Yuanchen is a guest of the family teacher. Even the worship of heaven and earth is made by the family teacher. This word "tian" should be worshipped, but earth... can't you still be a worshiper of the family teacher."

"Hmph, you two shameless Taoist boys, and you are so shameless that you are so shameless." Sun Wukong was very upset when he heard this. Tang Monk stopped him and said, "You monkey head, don't let go of your tricks." Qingfeng Mingyue also glared at Sun Wukong, turned around and said to Tang Monk, "Master, please rest in the Zen Hall behind."

Although Tang Monk and his disciples were noisy, Gao Lan still sincerely bowed to the Heaven and Earth tablets. The head of Wuzhuang Temple is Zhenyuan Daxian, and he is indeed a figure at the level of Taoist Ancestor. Gao Lan had long admired him.

When the master and his disciple arrived at the Zen room, Tang Monk immediately began to assign tasks: "Wukong, go to the backyard to release horses. Bajie, go to borrow their kitchen to make vegetarian meals. Wujing, you clean the clothes you changed and make up for damage in case of urgent need on the road. Cuilan, you take some money for lining, go out to buy some money for food, rice, oil, and pack some luggage."

Gao Lan was speechless: Why did I even get assigned to work? "Master, then what are you doing?"

"I have been rushing for a while, and the scriptures I have memorized in my childhood are already a little unfamiliar. I want to meditate here and recite scriptures and review my homework." After Tang Seng finished speaking, he found the table to sit down, spread out the scriptures, and beat fish with one hand and ring bell with the other, and recited the scriptures in a buzzing voice. Gao Lan spread his hands and walked out of the meditation room with everyone.

However, it is not hard to buy some pieces of things. Gao Lan took the opportunity to take a walk outside and enjoyed the scenery of Wuzhuang Temple. It was not until the evening that he returned to the lower place with a few bags of things. Before he entered the door, he saw Sun Wukong suddenly flashing out and pulling her in, and then quickly closed the door.

"What's wrong?" Gao Lan put down a few bags of purchased items and asked in confusion. Sun Wukong looked at her and immediately showed a look of shame: "My brother and sister, I'm really sorry. My old Sun was anxious for a moment and forgot you." As he said, Bajie had come over and said, "Brother Monkey, have you got it?"

Gao Lan's heart suddenly jumped, and saw Sun Wukong opening his tiger-skin skirt, with three small babies wrapped in his arms.

"Ginseng Fruit!" Gao Lan couldn't help but rush out.

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were both surprised, "How do you get such a treasure?" Gao Lan knew that he had left, so he could only smile: "When I was purchasing things outside, I heard the Taoist priests from Wuzhuang Temple talk about it, saying that someone in this temple ginseng immortal fruit looks like a baby. This thing that Brother Monkey must have been taken out..."

"It's a pity that Old Sun was in a hurry and forgot you." Sun Wukong is still very principled, but Gao Lan and Bai Longma are a little alienated after all, so it's reasonable that he didn't remember it for a while, so Gao Lan didn't mind. "It's okay, I'll call Brother Sha back immediately, I won't talk."

Soon, Sha Seng also returned to the meditation room. Then Gao Lan sat aside from afar and stopped disturbing their brothers.

Sha Wujing was also shocked when she saw the ginseng fruit: "Ginseng fruit? Brother, where did you come from?" Bajie heard this and said with his stomach straightened, "Okay, so you recognize it too! Then you must have eaten it, so you will not have your share. Leave one for my wife to eat."

When Sha Seng heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, I won't hide it from the two brothers. When I was a roller blind general in the upper realm, I saw the immortals in the lower realm paying this thing to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother, so I recognized it. However... I have never eaten it."

After hearing this, Wukong said, "Since that's the case, each of us is three brothers. This ginseng fruit is also called Cao Huan Dan. It can live 360000 times with a sniff from the nose; one can live 47,000 years with a single immortal. Bajie, your wife has not been listed in the immortal class yet, so why not smell it for her first, which can increase her life for several years?"

"Okay!" After hearing this, Bajie quickly pushed Wukong to Gao Lan's side.

Gao Lan was immediately moved and heard Sun Wukong say, "The land in the garden has also said that smelling fruit is like eating qi, but only a fruit can only be smelled. Brother and sister, every time you smell these three fruits, it is also a great fate to be immortal." Gao Lan nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Monkey, then I'm welcome!"

After saying that, Gao Lan stopped hesitating, picked up a fresh fruit and put it next to his mouth and nose. This ginseng fruit is not so much a fruit, but it is really a small baby. He will move gently when he holds it in his hand, pinch it tightly, and his face will frown slightly. No wonder Tang Seng dares not eat it, it is no different from a real person.

Gao Lan raised the fruit and sucked it gently, and suddenly felt the saliva of the mouth and tongue, the strange fragrance was swelling, the belly was warm, the whole body was comfortable, and the 48,000 pores in the whole body were immediately loose; swallowing this breath, the Dantian area suddenly became hot, and the qi and blood in the whole body suddenly became strong. Even though Gao Lan could not have eaten ginseng before, the tonic of black chicken was not as good as this breath of fairy energy.

"What a baby, I feel like my body has been washed, it's so clear and transparent!"

Although the fairy energy was not digested, Gao Lan did not hesitate and absorbed the fairy energy of the other two ginseng fruits one after another. However, although the fairy energy he swallowed afterwards was quite moist, it no longer had the great tonic meaning of the first taste. Gao Lan also understood that the nourishing energy of the ginseng fruit can only be used once.

Otherwise, just sit under the ginseng fruit tree and smell it every day, and you will be immortal.

Feeling that the fairy energy entered his body, Gao Lan sat on the side and practiced cross-legged and began to refine this fairy energy. Gao Lan has been entering the realm of magical power for more than ten months, and his practice has never stopped along the way. Now, visualizing the six realms of merit is already familiar with it.

While Gao Lan was meditating, Sun Wukong and others also ate the ginseng fruit each and took one and started eating it.

Bajie was the most anxious to eat, and swallowed it in one bite. Then he saw Wukong and Sha Seng sitting aside and enjoying it, and couldn't help but come over again. "Brother Monkey, what are you eating?" Sun Wukong gave him a blank look: "Ginseng Fruit?"

"What does it taste like?"

"You idiot, who made you eat so urgently?" Sun Wukong turned around and ignored him. Bajie couldn't help but turn to Sha Seng again: "Junior Brother Sha, is this ginseng fruit delicious?"

Sha Monk didn't even miss him.

Bajie was so anxious that he said to Sun Wukong: "Good Monkey Brother, please get two more? This time I will definitely chew slowly like you, and taste the taste well..." Wukong heard it and cursed: "You idiot, this ginseng fruit has only been born in 10,000 years, and the younger brothers and sisters have not been given. Each of us is already a great immortal. Do you still want to eat enough?"

After saying that, Sun Wukong threw Jin Ji back and ignored him.

At this time, Gao Lan finally finished eating the fairy energy, and couldn't help but feel ecstatic. He felt like he had just entered the realm of magical powers. "This is the magical energy, the beauty of swallowing the fairy energy? It's hard to believe that I really felt that my body was light and healthy, which increased my life for more than three hundred years! Moreover, my magical powers also increased by more than three hundred kilograms, which was almost as good as a year of hard practice."

People who had entered the realm of supernatural powers began to escape from the physical body, but the increase in supernatural powers required years of cultivation. With hard work like Gao Lan, the increase in supernatural powers in a year was only 360 kilograms. Today, devouring the fairy energy was enough to last for a year of hard practice, which made her feel ecstatic.
