Chapter 40: Treasures of Heaven and Earth—Ginseng Fruit
Seeing that Tang Sen just stared blankly but still refused to eat, Qingfeng thought he had misunderstood and quickly explained.
"Master, don't get me wrong, this is not a child under one month old, this is the unique treasure of our Wuzhuang Temple - ginseng fruit."
"This is the ginseng fruit. I have only heard of its name, but have never eaten it?" Sun Wukong came over curiously.
"Senior brother, you are ignorant. This ginseng fruit is also known as grass-returning elixir. It takes three thousand years to bloom, three thousand years to bear fruit, and another three thousand years to mature. However, it only bears dozens of fruits each time. It is extremely precious. I heard that it is the treasure of the Earthly Immortal.
It is a unique thing of the Great Immortal Zu Zhenyuan. I, the old pig, only had a chance to eat a fruit when I was in heaven, and the taste was, tsk tsk tsk." Zhu Bajie said proudly, after all, with his canopy marshal's
It was impossible for him to eat such a spiritual fruit due to his status, but that time, he went with his cheap master, Master Xuandu, the great disciple of the People's Sect, and he was lucky enough to get a fruit.
"The production of this fruit is rare. It is usually only enjoyed by figures such as the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, the Three Pure Ones and Six Imperial Kings, and the Tathagata Guanyin. Most people don't even think about it!"
"This elder is very knowledgeable. Every ten thousand years when the fruit matures, my master will give two to each of the six saints, two to each of the six imperial majesties, and two to Western Buddhism. In this way, there will be no left.
The fruit has been harvested, so no one has strayed outside. People in the world only know the name of my ginseng fruit, and very few have seen it, let alone eaten it, but this elder is not simple." Qingfeng was surprised when he heard that Zhu Bajie had eaten it.
He said, I didn’t expect that there was someone here who knew the stuff.
"Have you ever eaten it? Don't brag! I've only seen His Majesty the Jade Emperor eat it once, and other people can't eat it at all." Sha Wujing said sarcastically. In his previous life, he was the curtain beside the Jade Emperor.
The general, who is considered a close official of the Jade Emperor, has only seen the Jade Emperor eat ginseng fruit with great importance once. Others have never eaten it, not even the God of Thunder. Not to mention that this pig is Marshal Tianpeng, this thing
Marshal Tianpeng couldn't eat it either. This pig had eaten it, but he didn't believe it anyway.
Zhu Bajie curled his lips contemptuously, disdainful to argue.
Do I have to tell you that Lao Zhu is a disciple of the Human Cult? Haha.
Seeing how everyone was praising this ginseng fruit as the only one in the world, Sun Wukong didn't know it, but his face became a little uneasy.
"Is this Laoshizi ginseng fruit as valuable as the Queen Mother's flat peaches? I think back when I was an official in the Heavenly Court, I could eat the peaches from the flat peach garden as much as I wanted.
Just throw it away.
His tone seemed to be recalling the good old days."
"Hey, senior brother, don't be dissatisfied. This ordinary flat peach is completely incomparable to this ginseng fruit. The only thing that can barely compare is the precious real flat peach with purple veins and a core that is once ripe in nine thousand years.
, but it is far inferior." Zhu Bajie sighed.
"Although I don't agree with this pig, this sentence is correct." Sha Wujing rarely agreed with Bajie's words.
Sun Wukong:???
When you say this, I look like a bumpkin.
But he still couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked, after all, he really didn't know this.
"What is a real flat peach? Can this flat peach be real or fake?"
"Senior brother may be busy with official duties and never pay attention to these trivial details. I have been wearing it in the sky for a long time, so I will tell you about it."
Zhu Bajie smiled and spread information about the flat peach to Sun Wukong.
"This flat peach is one of the five spiritual roots of water that created the world. Now it is in the hands of the Queen Mother and planted in the flat peach garden in heaven. You all know this, but you don't know that this flat peach garden is also an inner garden.
and the outer garden.”
"The outer garden is the flat peach orchard that you manage in heaven, senior brother. It is bred from the sub-roots separated from the wood roots. However, the efficacy is much worse. It can only be said to be better than nothing. It is usually used by the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother to hold flat peach conferences.
To win over those loose immortals and low-level heavenly soldiers and generals."
"The fruit that ripens once every three thousand years and the fruit that ripens once every six thousand years are all fruits from the root, which are also the flat peaches we know."
"But, there are also the flat peaches that ripen once in nine thousand years. They are the real spiritual roots of heaven and earth. But they are usually covered by a large formation in the flat peach garden. It is said that only the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother can enter it.
, let alone eating, others can’t see it even if they see it.”
"This ginseng fruit is one of the five innate spiritual roots of wood. It is more energetic and the fruit produced is more effective."
Zhu Bajie chuckled and told the secret of heaven, but changed the subject.
"But, it's a pity, it's a pity..."
Zhu Bajie shook his head and kept sighing with regret.
"What's the pity? You idiot, tell me quickly." Sun Wukong asked impatiently.
Sha Wujing on the side also listened attentively. He had never heard of this news. He didn't know where he heard about this pig. However, as the Jade Emperor's personal guard, he knew that what the pig said was probably true. Then
His Majesty is not as simple as he appears. The power of an emperor is unfathomable.
Tang Sen was not busy eating the ginseng fruit for the time being, and stopped telling the story first. He didn't know these things at all, and it was impossible for him to know except for the senior internal personnel.
Qingfeng Mingyue also held her head with both hands and listened attentively. They rarely went out to Wuzhuang Temple, and it was rare to hear someone telling them stories.
"It's a pity that in order to separate part of the sub-roots, the peach spirit root damaged the vitality and luck. Now its efficacy is a little worse than that of ginseng fruit. Don't underestimate this. This is the difference between heaven and earth." Seeing everyone waiting for him.
, Zhu Bajie also continued to say that these were what he heard from his master, Master Xuandu, by chance, and he was unable to access this information at his level.
However, knowing means knowing that there is no difference between your master's and your own, and only you know these things. Now is the time to speak out and show off, and give these bumpkin's a lot of experience.
Zhu Bajie thought proudly.
Qingfeng Mingyue was stunned when they heard this. They knew that this ginseng fruit was precious, but they didn't expect it to be so precious. Only the top figures in the three realms could eat it. After all, every time the fruit ripened, Zhen Yuanzi had to share it with them. As time went by, there was no
I feel so precious.
Tang Sen also turned around and looked at the ginseng fruit on the plate, which was full of energy and lifelike. This ginseng fruit was so precious. The two people who came to entertain him this time, Zhen Yuanzi was very sincere.
Sun Wukong also came to his senses at this time. Although he did not expect that the ginseng fruit was so precious, he soon calmed down.
The left and right are just fruits. Could it be that they are just external things compared to my own ascetic practice?
Little Bailong looked at the ginseng fruit on the table with shining eyes.
This, even my father and uncles have never eaten ginseng fruit. If I can eat one, wouldn't it mean that I am successful? When I go back, let's see who dares to say that I am not up to date.
Sha Wujing didn't care much. He was a taciturn person. He didn't think that he would get a share of this precious spiritual fruit, so he never thought about it.
How many people in this world have turned against each other for a red fruit, ginseng and other precious medicines, and father and son have turned against each other with swords, let alone this ginseng fruit!
Sha Wujing completely believed that this ginseng fruit might be worth much more than his own life. If he took out this ginseng fruit and said that he would buy his own life, he might not be able to see the sun tomorrow.
How could I dare to hope for such a treasure?
"Master, look, you can't eat these two fruits by yourself. Why don't Old Zhu help you eat one? I remember the last time I ate this ginseng fruit, and now I have forgotten what it tasted like." Zhu Bajie said coyly.
He walked over with a stern face and reached out to pick up the ginseng fruit on the plate.
With a sound of "pop!", Tang Sen opened his extended hand.
"Two benefactors, this gift is too valuable and you will not be rewarded for your merits. How dare the poor monk accept it? I hope the benefactor will take it back." Tang Sen suppressed his inner desire and refused.
This is not a matter of face, this is a matter of principle.
The ginseng fruit was so precious, and Zhen Yuanzi bought two of it at once. Tang Sen didn't believe it when he said there was no conspiracy. Although he loved treasures, Tang Sen cherished his own life even more.
"Master, this...someone's kindness, this..." Zhu Bajie was extremely anxious beside him, and his tone was hesitant, as if he wanted to persuade Tang Sen to accept it.
Tang Sen gave him a stern look, and Zhu Bajie immediately shut up, not daring to say anything more.
"Here, the elders don't know. This fruit needs to be eaten as soon as possible. It is impossible to hang it back on the tree." Qingfeng looked at Tang Sen's firm refusal and said half-truthfully.
It is true that the ginseng fruit must be eaten as soon as possible after leaving the fruit tree, otherwise the aura in it will slowly be lost. Even if it is covered with a spiritual handkerchief, it can only slow down the loss slightly, but it is impossible to hang it back on the tree, which is false.
The ginseng fruit can be hung back on the tree.
But remembering the master's instructions before leaving, never to neglect this elder, Qingfeng could only tell a little white lie.
"This..." When Tang Sen heard this, he immediately hesitated. If he didn't eat it, it would be wasted. After all, he really wanted to taste this famous spiritual fruit in the world.
"Amitabha, that poor monk is ashamed of himself. Thank you, Immortal Zhenyuan, for your hospitality." Putting aside his worries, Tang Sen accepted and discussed the rest later. He didn't believe that Zhen Yuanzi would kill himself because of two fruits.
"Well, please be patient, elder, we are leaving." Qin Qin and Mingyue looked at each other, slowly exited the room, and closed the door.
As soon as Qingfeng Mingyue left, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Xiao Bailong immediately gathered around. They all looked at the ginseng fruit curiously, their eyes shining.
Only Sha Wujing remained motionless, sitting alone beside him with a concave expression.
"Spread out, spread out. Look at you, you have never seen the world. Aren't you just two fruits? As for that?" Tang Sen laughed and scolded the disciples who came around, his tone full of disdain.
When Sun Wukong looked at it, Zhu Bajie and Xiao Bailong both looked at him with disdain, and even Sha Wujing gave Tang Sen a faint look.
Do you think we didn’t see what you looked like just now? Don’t laugh at anyone.
That's probably what that look means, pretty much the same.
Tang Sen was a little embarrassed, but it didn't matter. He had enough shamelessness and then acted as if nothing had happened.
"Wu Jing, why are you standing there? Come here, don't stand there alone, it makes you look so different. I'm telling you, you don't fit in with others and you will easily suffer." Tang Sen said to him.
Zhusha Wujing said.
Sha Wujing looked here hesitantly, and finally moved slowly and walked over.
"Okay, two fruits, one for my teacher, and four of you brothers will share one. Do you have any objections?" Tang Sen took out the ginseng fruit distribution plan, and his tone slowly turned into a smile, but this smile was as sharp as a razor blade.
So sharp, just like asking Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing if they had any opinions in the morning.
Thinking of what happened in the morning, Zhu Bajie suddenly became excited and quickly replied with a smile.
"No objection, no objection. How can I, an old pig, have any objection? Master's hard work has paid off, so he deserves one."
The tone was extremely humble and flattering.
Opinion? Do I dare to have an opinion? Is it useful if I have an opinion? Are you kidding me? This is the same format every time.
Although he complained in his heart, Zhu Bajie was still very happy. After countless years, he could eat ginseng fruit again. Although it was only a quarter, other people could not even see such a rare treasure in the world, let alone eat it.
What else am I not satisfied with?
Naturally, Sun Wukong and Xiao Bailong had no objection.
