Chapter 64: Eating ginseng fruit secretly(1/3)

 "Ginseng fruit——"

Even though Li Zhi guessed what Tang Monk was holding as soon as he came in, he still couldn't hide his excitement when he saw it with his own eyes.

"Kiuro, do you know this fruit?"

Tang Monk said with a smile, gently placed the tray on the table, and helped Li Zhi light the candle.

"Hey, I once heard someone mention it. My nephew has never seen it, let alone eaten it."

When he first entered Long Live Mountain, Li Zhi reminded Tang Seng that things happened "as scheduled", and of course he couldn't deny it.

However, what Li Zhi said was not a lie. He had indeed only heard about such "ginseng fruit" and had never seen it in person.

"Fortunately, Jiulang informed the poor monk in advance, otherwise he would have really missed the fairy treasure."

Thinking back to the time when the two Taoist boys Qingfeng and Mingyue put the two "ginseng fruits" in front of him just now, Tang Monk was indeed frightened.

No matter how you look at the fruit mentioned by the two Taoist boys, it looks like a three-year-old baby, with all four limbs and five senses.

"The poor monk had the courage to ask a few more questions, and then he found out that the thing was called 'Ginseng Fruit', also known as 'Cao Huan Dan'."

"It takes three thousand years to bloom, and it takes another three thousand years to bear fruit. It takes another three thousand years to ripen, and only ten thousand years before it can be eaten. It seems that in these ten thousand years, it only bears thirty fruits."

"I heard from the two Taoist boys that if you take a sniff, you can live for three hundred and sixty years; if you eat one fresh food, you can live forty-seven thousand years."

Tang Seng was very excited when he said it. He even went up and smelled it like a child. The fragrance was overflowing, and it was impossible to pretend that he was intoxicated.

"In this case, why didn't the uncle eat it while it was fresh? I heard that once this thing comes down from the tree, it cannot be left for a long time. If it is left for a long time, it will become rotten and will not be eaten."

Li Zhi held back the saliva in his throat and did not dare to show it too obviously.

"The poor monk asked the two Taoist boys. According to what they said, the temple master here had a relationship with me in my previous life, so he asked the disciples to bring out this treasure to entertain me."

"However, this is a rare treasure in the world. How can a poor monk have Jiulang all to himself? I want you to call Wukong, Bajie, Wujing, and Xiao Bailong over."

"If you divide these two fruits into six parts, the effect will probably be a little worse, but the poor monk feels more at ease eating them, and he can also take this opportunity to give some help to his disciples."

Li Zhi was stunned. He didn't expect Tang Seng to have such a plan.

But if you think about it carefully, today's Tang Seng has undergone great changes in terms of personality, vision, and even cultivation. It's not surprising that he thinks this way.

However, Li Zhi couldn't do it. If he did, wouldn't the disaster of "Wuzhuang Temple" pass safely?

Li Zhi was naturally aware of the entire "Journey to the West", but he did not intend to eliminate all disasters for Tang Seng and his disciples.

You must know that Buddhism emphasizes "nine-nine returns to true nature". If he really removes one difficulty, Guanyin Bodhisattva and his gang will definitely add another difficulty.

In this way, he no longer has "foresight", so how can he make decisions before taking action

Moreover, Li Zhi vaguely felt that although the disaster of "Wuzhuang Temple" seemed simple, there might be some ulterior secret hidden behind it.

How could someone as powerful as Immortal Zhenyuan not know that Sun Wukong ate peaches and stole golden elixirs in the past?

I had a treasure like "ginseng fruit" at home, but I didn't hide it carefully. Instead, I asked two Taoist boys to give two to Monk Tang to eat

It is said that five hundred years ago, they met at the Lantern Festival. Tang Seng’s predecessor, Jin Chanzi, personally passed tea to him, so he was called "old friend".

Is this an "old friend" who needs to spend two "ginseng fruits" in return for just a cup of tea?

The ginseng fruit tree is said to have a close relationship with Zhen Yuanzi. Some people even say that the ginseng fruit tree is the true body of Zhen Yuanzi.

If this is the case, Li Zhi has even more reason to suspect that the "Wuzhuang Temple" disaster was completely a show directed by Zhen Yuanzi.

With the help of Sun Wukong, the "Ginseng Fruit" tree was pushed.

This is "using gold to overcome wood".

In this way, he could openly and honestly detain Tang Monk and force Sun Wukong to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to take action.

I am afraid that the "Three Light Divine Water" in Guanyin Bodhisattva's pure bottle is the ultimate goal of Zhen Yuanzi's drama.

An ancient great power like him who came from the prehistoric times has stayed in the realm of "quasi-sage" for hundreds of millions of years. Maybe there is something wrong with his cultivation

If you don’t destroy, you won’t establish. If you destroy, you will establish. With the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West, Zhen Yuanzi will also complete his own true liberation

Backed by the huge amount of information from later generations, Li Zhi felt that his analysis, although not entirely accurate, was not far off.

Otherwise, when Guanyin Bodhisattva saved the "ginseng fruit" tree, Zhen Yuanzi generously took out ten "ginseng fruit" in one breath and held a "ginseng fruit" conference.

I have already achieved liberation, and those extremely precious "ginseng fruits" have become insignificant external things.

Although these are just Li Zhi's unilateral guesses, they are also the result of his careful consideration.

In this case, Li Zhi certainly would not sabotage Zhen Yuanzi's plan, not to mention that after the whole incident, they did not lose anything, but gained "ginseng fruit" for nothing.

Li Zhiyun used the "Broken Golden Eyes" to penetrate the layers of courtyard walls and look into the courtyard next door. Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha all lived there, and there was a white dragon horse tied in the courtyard.

There is also a light in the room, and Zhu Bajie is begging Sun Wukong for something.

But Sun Wukong dodged left and right, as if refusing, as if hesitating, but also as if he was eager to try

It seems that everything is going according to someone’s plan!

"Uncle, in my nephew's opinion, it's best not to make this matter public."

"Qingfeng, you two fairies of Mingyue, you can obviously bring out this "ginseng fruit" at the dinner party, but why do you have to wait until you return to the cross-yard to bring it over?"

"As far as my nephew knows, the temple owner here is called "Zhen Yuanzi", and he is the ancestor of the earth immortals. He is of the same generation as the Sanqing saints of the Taoist sect, and the Tathagata Buddha of the Buddhist sect is considered a junior in front of him."

"Since it was given by the old man himself, there must be a deep meaning in it. If the clan uncle rashly summoned all the senior brothers, he would have made a mistake if he had an errand and would have let down the good intentions of Immortal Zhenyuan. What do you think?"
p>

In order to convince Tang Seng, Li Zhi did not hesitate to "leak" the secret again, revealing Zhen Yuanzi's name and even his heels to Tang Seng.

Don't mention it, Tang Seng just followed this trick, "respecting teachers and respecting Taoism". What is engraved in the bones cannot be changed so easily.

What's more, according to Li Zhi's opinion, the status of this town's Yuanzi is ridiculously high. Seniors have orders, so they should abide by them.

"Forget it, among the six people traveling to the west, you and I are the weakest. Let's just eat one by one. Whether we will live forever is another matter. I hope we can make a breakthrough in our cultivation."

Well, Tang Sanzang, who had no desires or pursuits, has now become a cultivator.

"That's fine, I'll go and inform the two Taoist boys that the clan uncle will stay in seclusion in this courtyard for one day and leave early the next morning."

Li Zhi thought about it and decided that it would be better to "cleanse" Tang Monk, so as to gain time to refine the "ginseng fruit" and at the same time prevent the two sides from colluding.

After all, what Li Zhi had just said to Tang Seng was that Tang Seng’s original intention was to give away the "ginseng fruit", but his disciples went to steal it instead.

As for the safety of the two Taoist boys, Li Zhi had already said hello to Sun Wukong from the beginning, and he also knew that there was a powerful man living here. No matter how mischievous he was, he would not be too harsh.

Tang Monk naturally didn't know the depth of Li Zhi's thoughts, so Li Zhi went to inform the two Taoist boys and personally sealed the gate of the courtyard where they lived.

"Brothers, my uncle from the same clan will be in seclusion here for two nights and one day. He will leave early the next morning. What should you do?"

Finally, Li Zhi added fuel to the fire without leaving any trace.

When Li Zhi's voice rang in Sun Wukong's small courtyard, he did not hide it, but said it openly and openly, even the distant breeze and the bright moon could hear it.

"Senior brother, good senior brother, did you hear that the master and the junior brother are in seclusion, which means that they have eaten one by one. The master and the junior brother are really, even if they have good things, they don't even think about us..."

Sun Wukong naturally heard what Li Zhi said, and even heard the implication, "What should you do?"

Hehe, I, Old Sun, understand——

"Bajie, please stay here for a moment. I, my grandson, will come as soon as I go——"

After Sun Wukong finished speaking, a transformation technique disappeared.

"Uncle Clan, most of your previous practice came from three Buddhist scriptures, whether it was the "Multiple Heart Sutra", the "Eight Great Bodhisattva Sutras" and the "Void Treasure Bodhisattva Sutra", all of which focused on the tempering of the state of mind or cultivation.



"But the "Five Animals Show" focuses on the cultivation of the body and muscles. Uncle Clan has always disliked the "cruelty" of those moves, so it has been very slow to progress."

"I still have the six-character motto of Buddhism here. Coupled with the energy brought by "Ginseng Fruit", I think you can at least break through to the "Nascent Soul" stage, which can be regarded as a certain degree of self-preservation."
p>

Li Zhi "ate" a "ginseng fruit" himself first, but he didn't really eat it, but went into the sea of ​​consciousness and let Mo Wen and Chun Wu take it separately.

The energy contained in a "ginseng fruit" is not as high as the drop of candle dragon essence and blood on Li Zhi's body. As for the life span of tens of thousands of years, it is the least important thing to him.

Now that he is only in the late stage of "Transcending the Tribulation", he already has a lifespan of thousands of years. In the future, if he continues to practice and advance, he will naturally ask for immortality.

On the contrary, the two clones of Mo Wen and Chun Wu are still relatively weak in cultivation, and Li Zhi has been reluctant to let them out. The resources needed for cultivation can only be "deducted" from him.

After settling Mo Wen and Chun Wu, Li Zhi began to supervise Tang Seng.

The futon was placed, and Tang Monk sat cross-legged. First, he wrote down the teachings of the "Six-Character Proverb" one by one.

Li Zhi had to sigh again, Tang Seng was born to be a monk!

It took him half an hour to memorize such a difficult-to-pronounce "six-character maxim", which was much faster than practicing "Five Animals".

"Uncle, you first eat the "ginseng fruit" slowly, and then follow the method contained in the "Six-Character Proverb" to mobilize the true energy in the body and condense it in the "dantian"."

"As the amount of true energy increases, the true energy will gradually liquefy, and then continue to repeat this process. The "dantian" will form an elixir, officially entering the "elixir formation" stage..."

Tang Monk is familiar with Buddhist scriptures and has always understood all the magical powers or methods related to Buddhism, but he knows nothing about the various realms, characteristics and precautions of cultivation.

Fortunately, Li Zhi has just walked through it in the past few years, and now he can speak out from his own experience.
