In the hazy state, Xuanzang felt vaguely that someone was shaking him. He opened his eyes slightly and felt a sense of dizziness coming, and everything in front of him seemed to be shaking.

"Master, Master Xuanzang!" Just when Xuanzang had not figured out where he was, a gentle voice from a woman beside him rang, and at the same time, a feeling of being shaken on his shoulders came from.

As his consciousness gradually recovered, Xuanzang tried hard to control his body and sat up from the 'couch', looking at him and turning his head to look behind him.

However, when he saw Xuanzang, he was stunned. He saw that there was indeed a woman behind him, with beautiful eyes, willow eyebrows, pink cheeks, small cherry mouths, a circle of garlands on her head, a light pink gauze, and a smooth skin could be seen under her.

Xuanzang was indeed worthy of the name of a monk. But at the beginning, a stunning flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to his previous quietness. He shouted the Buddha's name and asked: "Is the girl a woman from the He family? Why did she appear in my monk's room?"

However, what puzzled Xuanzang was that the woman frowned slightly after hearing his words, and asked in confusion: "What is the master talking about? What room is in?"

What? Xuanzang was stunned for a moment. He clearly remembered that he had a drink with Yu Zhining and Li Muyun last night, but he fell back to the room to rest because of insufficient alcohol tolerance. Why is this woman...

No, no, this is not right! Before Xuanzang could figure out what happened last night, he had already seen the surrounding environment clearly.

The back house of the county government is clearly in the wilderness, and he didn't sleep on any bed. Whether it was the feel of his hands or the scenery he saw in his eyes, it can be proved that under him was only a stone slab, a large stone slab.

And things are not just that simple, because the cold air coming from around shows that today's season should be spring or autumn, and it is not the dog days I remember.

What's wrong? Did you sleep until the end of your life? Or are you dreaming now? No, no, this shouldn't be a dream! But if everything in front of you is not a dream, then...will everything that happened yesterday in your memory be a dream?

"What are the master thinking?" Just when Xuanzang was puzzled, the woman saw that he was silent, and continued to ask.

"Where is this place? Why is I a monk here?" Xuanzang asked back without answering.

Seeing Xuanzang's expression a little nervous, the woman could not help but cover her mouth and smiled softly, and then said, "There are no names in the wilderness here. If the master must know, he can call this Guxiang Garden."

"Ancient Fragrance Garden?" Xuanzang searched in his memory, but he could not find any memory no matter what.

"The master came here yesterday. Maybe because he was tired of walking, he slept on this stone slab." The woman continued to answer his questions for Xuanzang, but seemed to have not noticed his abnormality.

Seeing that the woman was speaking seriously, Xuanzang couldn't help but become more confused about what she remembered. He hesitated and asked tentatively: "Who is that girl? Why is she here?"

"Me? I'm not..." The woman suddenly stopped halfway through her words, and then thought for a while before saying, "It's better not to know my identity as a mage."

"Why is this?" Xuanzang was anxious to untie the mystery in his heart. Seeing that the woman didn't say anything, he asked anxiously.

"I am afraid of the mage!" the woman said.

"Afraid of me? Why are you afraid of me?" Xuanzang asked in confusion.

"Master, can you believe there are monsters in this world?" the woman asked suddenly.

"This..." Xuanzang frowned.

To be honest, Xuanzang still believed in the monster. After all, he had believed in the Buddha for more than 20 years, and there were many monsters he knew.

But what really puzzled him was why the woman said so. Could it be that this woman... Thinking of this, Xuanzang couldn't help but shudder.

In the wilderness, a lonely woman, the cold air around her, all of this shows a fact.

"You, you are..."

"Yes, I am an apricot tree here. After thousands of years of practice, I can only turn into a human form today. I don't want to become a master just now. This is the greatest blessing in my life." Seeing that Xuanzang seemed to have guessed his identity, the woman no longer concealed it and directly told her identity.

Now, Xuanzang was really not calm. He jumped off the stone slab and hid far away in two steps. He looked at the woman with deep fear and kept muttering something.

After all, knowing that monsters and seeing monsters are completely different. It's like everyone knows that they will die, but they will immediately collapse when they know that they will die tomorrow.

So when Xuanzang knew that the woman was an apricot tree demon, he immediately recited the Diamond Sutra and planned to drive it away.

"Master, don't be nervous. I don't mean to harm the mage. It's just that the little fairy turned into a human form and met the mage by chance. It was an opportunity, so she appeared and met the mage at first sight." But the woman regarded the Diamond Sutra as if nothing had happened, without saying any reaction, and even had the intention to comfort Xuanzang.

This time, Xuanzang was shocked again and unknowingly took several steps back. This retreat made him realize that apricot blossoms were already blooming around him at some point.

Monster, it seems that he has really encountered a monster, otherwise how could such a strange scene have occurred? Xuanzang looked at everything around him and was almost stunned.

And at this moment, the woman seemed to have moved again.

I saw her lightly wave her bare hands on the stone slab where Xuanzang was just lying on it, and a cup of fragrant tea appeared on the stone slab. A fragrance came with the wind, and it made people feel refreshed when they smelled it.

"Master, Xiaoxian showed up without any malice. He just felt that he had a fate with the mage, so he specially gave a cup of tea and offered a song and dance to the mage." The fragrant tea on the stone slab was gently picked up by the woman. As the lotus steps moved, the woman had already arrived in front of Xuanzang.

Drink or not? Will it make this monster angry if you don’t drink it? Will it be poisonous if you drink it?

Various thoughts flashed through Xuanzang's mind, but he soon realized that if this woman wanted to kill him, she would not have to spend so much effort. After all, she was a monster who was not even afraid of the Diamond Sutra.

Thinking of this, Xuanzang slowly stretched out his hand and carefully took the cup of hot tea from the woman's hand. Regardless of where the tea came from, he thanked her and put it to his mouth and took a sip.

The tea without any added onion, ginger and garlic is fragrant in the mouth. Although it is a little bitter, it has a long aftertaste, unlike the tea soup in the Tang Dynasty that was full of all kinds of ups and downs in life.

Good tea, really good tea. Such tea should be considered fairy tea, right? But I don’t know if I will have a chance to drink it in the future!
