After counting them carefully under the fruit tree, I was so angry that my hair stood on end.
That damn bald thief actually picked off less than half of the ginseng fruits on the tree, missing twelve ginseng fruits!
"asshole!"
"Let's go and find Tang Monk for an explanation!"
Qingfeng and Mingyue were furious and rushed directly to the side hall.
Tang Sanzang had already sent the video to the alchemy master and got a storage ring filled with silver. He was just happy when Qingfeng and Mingyue came to his door. Without saying a word, they scolded him.
"Two fairy boys, why do you say this?"
Tang Sanzang looked puzzled.
"Why do you say that?"
Qingfeng snorted coldly and told the story of seeing the monkey coming out of the backyard and then the ginseng fruit being stolen.
Tang Sanzang looked hesitant when he heard this, and then said:
"Let the poor monk call them over, and we will know when we ask."
The three monkeys, who had been eavesdropping outside for a long time, hurriedly murmured for a while, then walked into the side hall with eyes and noses, and noses and hearts, with expressions of "bewilderment and ignorance" on their faces.
"Master, the meal is almost ready."
Zhu Bajie was pushed forward by Sun Wukong and said quickly.
"I'm not asking for food."
Tang Sanzang had just been scolded, and he felt a little unhappy. He said coldly: "He has a fruit that looks like a baby, called ginseng fruit. Which one of you stole it from him?"
"Well."
Zhu Bajie was stunned for a moment, then shrank his neck and laughed dryly, "I'm honest, I don't know, I didn't see it."
The monkey laughed after hearing this.
When Mingyue saw this, her willow eyebrows stood up and she pointed at Sun Wukong.
"That's him!"
"I saw him fly out of the backyard!"
Hearing this, the monkey said disdainfully: "What's your point? The sky is big and the earth is big. I can go wherever I want. Doesn't it mean that the sky in this backyard belongs to your family too, and I'm not allowed to fly from above?"
"You still dare to quibble?"
Qingfeng and Mingyue raised their eyebrows angrily after hearing this and opened their mouths to curse, but Tang Sanzang reached out to stop them.
He turned to look at Sun Wukong and said solemnly: "Wukong, monks don't tell lies, let alone eat food that is ignorant of their conscience. If you really want to steal from him, you can just apologize as a gift. Why bother to deny it like this?"
I saw Tang Sanzang say this.
The monkey also lost his temper.
He smiled and said, "Master, Bajie heard what they were talking about about ginseng fruit and wanted to try something new."
"My old grandson just went to the backyard to get some and ate them among them."
"How many shots?"
After hearing what the monkey said, Qingfeng almost laughed angrily.
She stretched out her hand, pointed at the monkey's face, and cursed: "You bald thief is so good at talking. You don't know how many fruits you picked from the tree, right? You actually have the nerve to say, 'I only picked a few.'"
?!"
The monkey curled his lips when he heard the sound, "I just picked two more by chance."
"I'll give it back to you."
As he took the fruit out of the storage ring, he regretted that he would have to prepare another gift when he went to Baihu Ridge.
Then, eight more ginseng berries appeared on the table.
Zhu Bajie: “???”
Tang Sanzang: "???"
Did this horse pick two more?
Qingfeng, Mingyue glanced at the table, and suddenly sneered, "You monk, you have reached this point, and you are still pretending to us. Let me tell you, there are twelve fruits missing in my garden."
"And now, counting the three you have eaten, and the eight on this table, there is still one missing!!"
"fart!"
When Sun Wukong heard this, he became angry and said, "My old grandson walks upright and stands upright. Except for what he ate, the rest is all here!"
"When did you hide another one?"
Qingfeng, Mingyue doesn't care about anything, she just scolds you when you open your mouth.
How can a monkey bear such injustice?
In a fit of anger, the soul left his body, flew to the backyard, summoned the golden cudgel, and directly overturned the fruit tree.
…
After Qingfeng and Mingyue had scolded them enough, they immediately put the ginseng fruits on the table into the storage ring, glared at a few people fiercely, and left. After being scolded for a long time, Tang Sanzang and his party breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.
"We are the ones who are at fault if we steal someone else's fruit."
"It's okay to be scolded a few times." Tang Sanzang glanced at Zhu Bajie and the others, his tone sounded like reproach but also comfort.
Zhu Bajie is very thick-skinned.
He smiled and scratched his face, "Master is right!"
"that is……"
As he said that, Zhu Bajie turned back to look at the monkey who was standing silently, with a pig's face filled with surprise, "How the eldest brother can withstand such a violent temper, it really makes me, old pig, surprised."
At this time, the monkey finally returned to his original spirit.
Hearing Zhu Bajie's words, he sneered, "Are you angry? I, Old Sun, have already said this!"
"What's the meaning?"
Tang Sanzang and others were immediately stunned.
The monkey jumped on the chair, turned around and laughed twice.
"My old grandson pushed down her tree!"
"What!?"
Zhu Bajie was immediately frightened.
The ginseng fruit tree is the spiritual root of heaven and earth, the treasure of Zhenyuan Immortal, but Bi Mawen actually destroyed it?
He immediately sighed worriedly: "Brother Monkey, you are in big trouble!"
Then he told Sun Wukong the pros and cons.
"Then Immortal Zhenyuan is really so powerful?" The monkey said doubtfully.
"Can I still lie to you?!"
Zhu Bajie was anxious and angry. He walked around the room a few times, then raised his head and looked at Tang Sanzang, "Master, let's run away before the two Taoist boys notice what happened!"
"No."
However, Tang Sanzang shook his head resolutely, "This is our fault in the first place, how can we sneak away again?"
"How can I have the dignity to go to the West to meet the Buddha in the future as a teacher?"
"I will stay here as a teacher."
"When Immortal Zhenyuan returns, I will apologize to him in person."
Zhu Bajie panicked, "Master, this ginseng fruit tree is the spiritual root of heaven and earth, a supreme treasure, we cannot afford to pay for it!"
Tang Sanzang hesitated and said, "Is one hundred thousand taels of silver enough?"
"silver?"
Zhu Bajie waved his hand and said, "Hey, let alone one hundred thousand taels of silver, even one hundred thousand taels of silver can't buy one of its leaves!"
Several people never even thought about where Tang Sanzang got the one hundred thousand taels of silver.
After Tang Sanzang heard this, he immediately hesitated.
"Master, please listen to Lao Zhu's advice."
Zhu Bajie continued: "It won't be too late for this matter to wait until Xitian comes back from the Buddhist scriptures. If the Immortal Zhenyuan is really trapped here and delays the Buddhist scriptures, your brother Tang Wang can't afford to wait."
Sha Wujing nodded silently.
When Li Shimin was mentioned, Tang Sanzang finally agreed.
The four masters and apprentices didn't even eat the cooked meals, so they quietly slipped out of Wuzhuang Temple and ran westward as fast as they could.
…
Qingfeng and Mingyue, who were extremely unhappy with Tang Sanzang's master and disciple, did not go to find the four of them until dark. It was not until nightfall that the two of them were about to go to the kitchen to cook, and they suddenly noticed something unusual.
"Why hasn't the food cooked by this monk been touched?"
Mingyue glanced at the whole pot of rice, then tested the temperature with her hands, and said in surprise: "It's cool and breathable!"
"Maybe it's because we were scolded."
"Depressed?" Qingfeng asked suspiciously.
"But even if you are depressed, you won't stop eating, right?" Mingyue looked weird after hearing this.
The breeze caressed my chin, and then I raised my eyes to look at the bright moon:
"Why don't you go and see what's going on?"
When the two of them arrived at the residence where Tang Sanzang and others rested, they looked at the empty guest rooms, and the shock on their faces became even more intense.
"No..."
"Did we scold these monks for breaking their guard? They actually left overnight?"
The breeze and the bright moon looked at each other, very confused.
"Hey, what is this?"
At this moment, Mingyue suddenly noticed a note on the table.
The two walked over, picked up the note, and unconsciously read the words on it, "In the summer of the 14th year of Zhenguan, a ginseng fruit tree in Wuzhuangguan was knocked down. After the scripture collection is completed, compensation will be paid, and Tang Sanzang will keep it."
Qingfeng:∑(дlll)!
Mingyue:∑(дlll)!
After a long while, a scream rang out, and the two finally came to their senses.
Then he threw the note away and went straight to the backyard.
As expected.
The ginseng fruit tree that used to have lush branches and leaves has now been uprooted and fell to the ground. There is not a single ginseng fruit on it.
Qingfeng Mingyue was so cold that he broke into a cold sweat and collapsed on the ground.
"It's over, it's over..."
"The ginseng fruit tree was really pushed down by that monk. How can we reply when Master comes back!"
Qingfeng's face was pale, and his voice was crying.
"Brother, don't panic!"
Mingyue gritted her teeth and said: "It has been dark for a while now, and those monks must not have gone far. Let's call the master and ask him to come back quickly and catch these evil-minded monks."
"Yes, yes!"
Qingfeng came to her senses at this time, wiped away her tears, and quickly took out her cell phone, "I'll call Master now!"
After a while, the call was connected.
"Hey, Master, something serious is going wrong!"
…
In the forest east of Wanshou Mountain.
A group of four monks with different appearances and a white horse were galloping along the forest path.
"Bajie, Sha Seng, hurry up and follow us!"
Tang Sanzang held the Vairocana hat in his left hand, grasped the nine-ring tin staff in his right hand, and tied the red cassock around his waist. He ran at the front, not forgetting to turn around and urge Zhu Bajie and Drifting Monk.
"Master, wait...you should wait for us!"
Zhu Bajie gasped, stretched out his hand and shouted.
It stands to reason that he and Sha Monk are gods after all. They can just cast some magic power and fly away effortlessly.
However, this Western Heaven search for scriptures does not allow them to use tricks.
You must move forward step by step.
Otherwise.
The monkey had already led Tang Sanzang somersaulting to the Great Leiyin Temple.
"Master, we have been running around all night."
"Why don't you stop and take a break?"
Sun Wukong approached Tang Sanzang and suggested aloud. He was not worried about Zhu Bajie and the others, but he was just afraid that Tang Sanzang would get into trouble, although the monk did not look tired at all.
Tang Sanzang glanced at the fish-belly-white sky and nodded, "Okay, let's get some food on the way."
After running all night, he was actually hungry.
What a pity that pot of white rice was yesterday.
Zhu Bajie sat down under the big tree, breathing heavily while taking two hot steamed cakes from Sun Wukong's hand.
These steamed cakes were all bought when passing through the human market town.
All stored in the monkey's storage ring.
Originally, when Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng were Marshal of the Canopy and General of the Shutter, they had better and larger storage magic weapons in their hands, but after being demoted to the mortal world, everything was confiscated except their natal weapons.
Monkeys are young and have little background.
The storage ring in my hand was a gift I got in Black Wind Mountain last time.
Precisely because it is a gift, the space is very small.
After putting the silver and a few important items, there is almost no space left, which can only be used to store hot food that is easy to spoil.
Fortunately, I can have hot meals when I'm on the road in the future.
Just like this steamed cake.
"Huh, after running all night, they probably won't be able to find us even if they try to find us." After eating the steamed cakes in a few mouthfuls, Zhu Bajie took a sip of water, caressed his belly comfortably, and said aloud.
The monkey watching on the tree looked down at Zhu Bajie and smiled.
"Really?"
"You are not that powerful Immortal Zhenyuan. If he is really that powerful, it shouldn't be troublesome to find us, right?"
"Maybe they are already on the way to catch us?"
Zhu Bajie was about to speak.
But a sudden roar came from the sky.
"Sun Wukong!"
The master and disciples were startled and quickly looked up, only to see a Taoist priest with a beautiful beard wearing apricot-yellow Taoist robes and holding a jade whisk standing on Nayunduan, scolding them coldly with an angry look on his face.
The monkey called out the golden cudgel, frowned and said warily: "Who are you, how dare you call me by my first name?"
"Hmm."
The Taoist priest sneered when he heard this.
"You knocked down my ginseng tree and asked me who I was?"
The person who came here was none other than Zhen Yuanzi.
Of course, Zhen Yuanzi knew that his own Taoist temple, Wuzhuang Temple, was part of the Buddhist plan to obtain Buddhist scriptures from the West.
However, due to the fate of heaven, he had no intention of interfering.
After all, Tang Monk is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, and he can be regarded as his old friend.
Helping him save a calamity was part of the friendship.
So Zhen Yuanzi just made a rough deduction and knew that the disaster that Tang Sanzang's masters and disciples suffered at Wuzhuang Temple was related to the ginseng fruit, so he put it behind him and stopped paying attention to anything.
After all, it was just a few ginseng fruits, and he didn't value them much.
At least compared to the friendship with Jin Chanzi, it was just a general one.
But he never expected that what would be robbed was not a few ginseng fruits, but his lifeblood, the ginseng fruit tree!!
"Bima Wen, you damn crow's mouth!"
"Whatever you're afraid of will happen!"
After hearing Zhen Yuanzi's words, the master and apprentice could not guess each other's identity. Zhu Bajie, with a pig face on his face, became even more panicked and anxious. He jumped up and ran in front of Tang Monk, and couldn't help complaining to the monkey.
"What are you afraid of? Whether he is that capable or not, he has to be tested by me, Old Sun, first!" the monkey said unconvinced.
After saying that, he raised his golden hoop and jumped towards Zhen Yuanzi.
"snort!"
Zhen Yuanzi's eyes flashed coldly, and he flicked his sleeves and robe.
"Collect it from me!"
It is Zhen Yuanzi's unique magical power that holds everything within his sleeves.
Feeling the terrifying power coming from Zhen Yuanzi's sleeves, the monkey's expression finally changed. Because when Zhen Yuanzi's sleeves illuminated it, all the magic power in his body froze and he could no longer function at all.
But by the time the monkey tried to escape, it was already too late.
Before he could turn around, the whole monkey was taken into his sleeve.
Zhen Yuanzi snorted, and immediately waved his sleeves, taking in Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng and Bai Longma who were running away in panic.
"Wukong! Bajie! Sha Seng!"
When Tang Sanzang saw this scene, he couldn't help shouting anxiously.
"Um?"
At this time, Zhen Yuanzi also noticed that Tang Sanzang had not been included in the Qiankun in his sleeve just now?
Zhen Yuanzi felt very strange and then looked at it intently.
"This...this is Tang Sanzang?!"
Thanks to [Hell Cat] and [Lao Mao Mao C] for the 1500 reward, thank you!!
