Chapter 84: Grow a brain
Wukong is extremely ashamed. He is the Monkey King, but he is not too greedy.
Why is it that since those five hundred years ago, he either secretly ate elixirs or ate flat peaches? How could he be exposed to others?
Bajie, on the other hand, patted his belly and said, "If you eat it, you will eat it. So what if you recognize it? Can it still come out of my old pig's belly?"
"Disciples! Come out!" Li Fu shouted again.
This time, the three disciples, Wukong, Wuneng, and Wujing, emerged from their hiding places and walked to the front hall.
Bajie entered the palace first.
He said to Li Fu, "Master! The food is about to be cooked, why are you calling me in such a hurry?"
Li Fu said here, "In their Taoist temple, there is a ginseng fruit that looks like a living child. Can you eat it?"
Bajie clicked his lips, but he didn't say anything.
He, the Grand Marshal of the Canopy, has long understood the meaning of not taking the initiative, not speaking up, and being irresponsible.
When Qingfeng saw Bajie like this, he said angrily, "He was the one who was snickering just now! That's him!"
The traveler shouted at the side, "How come? You still won't let me laugh? My old grandson is born to love to laugh. Could it be that I have eaten some ginseng fruit since I was born?"
Li Fu said, "We are all monks now, and monks do not tell lies. Disciples, please do not lie."
"If you eat it, if you eat it there, the matter is done."
"You, me, and the owner of this place probably don't have the power to turn back time."
"If you eat it, eat it. Just admit your mistake and deal with it."
Sha Monk said on the other side, "Master! Don't say that! Don't say that!"
"I heard such words in the past, and it was just now that I was unlucky."
"If you don't admit it, you are not wrong."
"When you admit that all the faults are your fault."
"But don't believe that nothing will happen if you admit it."
Wukong met Li Fu's eyes.
When he saw his master's expression, he seemed to be hinting at something.
He suddenly felt something in his heart, "Could it be that this is also part of the ordeal?"
The traveler said, "Master! We have indeed eaten."
"However, every injustice has its own debtor. It was Bajie who was in the kitchen and heard what these two Taoist boys were eating ginseng fruit."
"Bajie makes me greedy after hearing this. I also want to try it."
"I beat three of them, and now I've eaten them, so what else can I do?"
Mingyue said, "You clearly hit us four times! But you only said three. Isn't the monk still a thief?"
Bajie said on the other side, "My Buddha is merciful! Brother, you took four, why did you take out three to share?"
"Did you sneak one in advance?"
As soon as this idiot yelled, the two boys over there became even more unreasonable and unforgiving.
The great sage was angry when he heard this.
Even if he is in heaven, no one dares to slander him in front of him.
Hericium's nature is to get angry easily.
He remembered the look in his master's eyes just now, one that encouraged him to cause trouble.
He simply gritted his steel teeth, eyes wide with fire, took out the golden hoop, and squeezed it again and again in his hand.
He shouted, "You two boys are so abominable!"
"I obviously ate the ginseng fruit given to my master first, but now I rake it up."
"If you don't secretly eat the ginseng fruit given to my master, how can Bajie be greedy? I can fight it!"
"You don't reflect on your own mistakes, but instead blame me and other masters and disciples!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
"If that's the case, then we won't eat any more!"
Wukong plucked out a vellus hair, blew a breath of fairy air, and said, "Change!"
He transformed into a fake monkey to listen to the scolding, while his real body went straight to the ginseng orchard.
He held the golden hoop and struck the tree.
He used his strength to move mountains again.
The ginseng fruit trees that had been growing between heaven and earth for countless years fell down one by one.
Leaves as big as bananas are scattered all over the ground.
The roots that are so luxuriant are also sprouting from the ground.
He also wanted to find the fruits on the tree, and he would not stop searching for them until he took them all away.
But when I looked at it, there was no fruit.
Only then did he remember that his sea-fixing needle was also a metal rod. When he knocked it on the ginseng fruit tree, the ginseng fruit fell into the ground when it hit the gold, and then they all fell into the soil and disappeared.
Wukong gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Okay! Okay! You don't have to eat it! You don't have to eat it!"
The two fairy boys, Qingfeng and Mingyue, were so scolded that their mouths went dry.
Qingfeng and Mingyue said, "Brother, this monk is so angry. I scolded them like scolding chickens. After scolding them for such a long time, there was still no sound. I think they may not have eaten secretly."
"Maybe the ginseng fruit trees are tall and dense with leaves, so we can't count them clearly."
"That fruit has hands and feet, and it might even run away on its own."
"I'd better stop scolding you and go check it out again."
Mingyue said, "Everyone is right."
The two of them turned around and returned to the ginseng orchard.
But I saw the ginseng fruit tree lying on the ground, its leaves fell all over the ground, and there was no fruit at all.
Qingfeng fell to the ground softly.
Mingyue also said incoherently, "This! This! This! The ginseng fruit tree has also grown legs. Do you want to move by yourself?"
Qingfeng Mingyue and Qingfeng Mingyue, at this moment, they only felt that they were missing four fruits before, and nothing mattered.
Now it really feels like that day has collapsed.
They are one of the disciples of Wuzhuang Temple.
Of course they know why Master can be called the ancestor of earthly immortals, and why he can enjoy the exclusive use of Wuzhuang Cave in this blessed land of Wanshou Mountain.
If nothing else, it’s all because of the ginseng fruit tree.
No matter the people in the sky or even the ghosts in the netherworld, they all have their own lifespan.
There are rare treasures in heaven and earth that can prolong life.
If the Jade Emperor has those three thousand peach trees, he can enjoy the heaven.
Although there is a ginseng fruit tree here in Wuzhuang Temple, which is equally magical, the yield is too small, so we can only have this blessed land.
Don’t look at how deserted this place is.
However, there are many immortals, Buddhas and gods in time, and compared with them, the cave heaven and blessed land are very rare.
If it were Wuzhuang Temple, this treasure of the temple would be gone.
Then...the consequences would be disastrous.
Qingfeng has many thoughts, and he is afraid that he will not be able to live a good life like this in the future.
Although the bright moon is small, it is clear and bright at this moment.
He said, "Brother, we don't want to panic and mess up our own position."
"Don't disturb those monks."
"In my opinion, the leader, the master, is just a mortal body with no supernatural powers."
"The second and third apprentices, at first glance, look like nothing but wine and rice bags. They don't have much ability."
"If this group of monks did this, it would be that guy with a rough face and a loud mouth."
"If a fight breaks out, you and I, brothers, may not be their match."
"How about we use our brains."
"Then we said that we had miscounted and wrongly blamed them."
