Chapter 347 I Didn’t See You Go Back to Your Old Business
Looking at the three words “Wuzhuang Temple” on the Taoist temple, I thought about what I had just said.

Zhu Bajie was trembling inwardly.

He didn’t expect that this was actually the dojo of the great ancient power, the ancestor of earthly immortals – Zhenyuan Daxian.

Zhu Bajie had basically heard of all the powerful people in the ancient times.

Even some of them have been seen.

He was also present at the last Peach Festival. Although he was in the back, he still met many powerful people.

The Immortal Zhenyuan originally sat in the front row.

But Zhu Bajie had heard that this person already possessed the strength to rival a saint.

In addition to the Seven Saints of the Great Desolation, no, the Eight Saints, there is also a Saint Equal to Heaven who has the same title as his current cheap senior brother.

Apart from these eight saints, Zhen Yuanzi is undoubtedly the most powerful one.

Because of what he just said, the other party might be angry and want to kill him.

Not to mention the Jade Emperor, even the face of his master, Taishang Laojun, might not be of much use.

After all, he is just Taiqing’s clone, and Zhen Yuanzi is not alone. He and Saint Hongyun are close brothers.

Thinking of this,
Zhu Bajie quickly bowed and apologized:
“Great Immortal, please forgive me. I just said it unintentionally. I hope you can forgive me and don’t bother with a fool like me!”

“Squeak~”

at this time,

The gate of Wuzhuang Temple suddenly opened and two Taoist children walked out.

“Who is making noise here?”

It is the gentle breeze and the bright moon.

Of course Qi Tian recognized these two little guys. When he first arrived at Wuzhuang Temple, he discussed Taoism with Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun, and these two little guys also benefited from it and broke through to the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

but,

After so many years, the two have made great progress in their cultivation and are now in the early stage of Daluo Jinxian.

in fact,

As Zhen Yuanzi’s Taoist disciple, his progress in cultivation is very slow.

But this is not because they are lazy and don’t work hard, but because the two Taoist children are not as good as Qi Tian’s disciples.

If it weren’t for the ginseng fruit and Zhen Yuanzi’s teachings, Taiyi Jinxian would have been his limit.

but,

Although the Daluo Jinxian is very low for Qi Tian, ​​it is very high for Zhu Bajie. He can’t see through the other party’s cultivation level at all.

But his aura feels no weaker than Sha Seng.

“Wow, even the Taoist boy is a Daluo Jinxian!”

Zhu Bajie immediately shrank his neck, quietly retreated behind Tang Seng, and poked him with his hand:

“Master, someone is asking you a question!”

“Huh? Oh~”

Tang Seng seemed to have just come to his senses. Seeing the two Taoist boys looking at him, he suppressed his thoughts and stepped forward and said:

“My two little donors, I am a monk who came from the Tang Dynasty in the East and went to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. Today I passed by Baofang and wanted to beg for alms and rest for a night. I wonder if you can help me?”

“Little benefactor?”

Qingfeng looked Tang Seng up and down with a strange look in his eyes.

He and Mingyue look young, but in terms of age, Tang Seng’s ancestors are not older than them.

but,

He was too lazy to care about it. Before his master Zhen Yuanzi left with many disciples, he specifically told them that a group of monks from the East would come to their house recently and asked them to give them a good reception.

He also ordered two ginseng fruits to be made and given to the leading mortal monk to eat.

For this,

Qingfeng was puzzled and thought it was a waste, but since his master had given the order, he did not dare to neglect it.

“Come in, but you can only rest in the front yard, not the back yard!”

“Thank you donor!”

Tang Seng thanked him and followed him into the Wuzhuang Temple.

As soon as I entered the hospital, a rich fragrance immediately penetrated my nostrils, refreshing my heart and soul, and at the same time I felt a lot more energetic.

Tang Seng couldn’t help but sigh:
“It is indeed a blessed place for the immortals. It is truly extraordinary!”

Hearing this,

Qingfeng Mingyue suddenly felt a sense of pride.

My impression of this monk has also changed a lot.

After settling everyone down, Qingfeng Mingyue said goodbye and left.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng were feeding the horses and cooking.

no way,
There are only two Taoist boys in the Wuzhuang Temple now, and there is no intention to prepare vegetarian meals for them, so they have to do it themselves.

As for Qi Tian,

Then he followed the breeze and the moon to the backyard.

After Qingfeng Mingyue picked two ginseng fruits and left, Qi Tian jumped directly onto the tree.

“I’ve already eaten the ginseng fruit that Zhen Yuanzi gave me. I’ll have some more to satisfy my craving!”

Muttered something,
Qi Tian returned to his old job and picked all the remaining 28 ripe fruits in one go.

but,

Just as he was about to leave, he thought about it and decided to leave a mark on the ginseng fruit tree.

Taking something without permission is stealing.

Just saying hello is a courtesy, so as to avoid Zhen Yuanzi becoming suspicious.

“Shu~”

Not long after Qi Tian left, a short figure suddenly emerged from the ground next to the ginseng fruit tree.

It is the land that guards this place.

Looking at the ginseng fruit tree with only leaves but no fruits, the earth’s face turned pale instantly.

“It’s over!”

The land god was almost scared to tears, because while he was taking a nap, all the ginseng fruits were stolen.
It’s over now.

The Great Immortal Zhenyuan treasured the ginseng fruit tree very much, and specially selected this skillful and ingenious land guard from among countless lands.

Now, I was lazy and took a nap, and ended up destroying all the fruits.

How can I explain this?

Tell the master that this is the first time I’ve been lazy?
Or should I take off my head and ask for forgiveness?
“Why am I always the one who gets hurt?”

It was like the cuckoo’s weeping cry, which was suppressed in the heart of the land.

Then he dived into the ground, took out his cane, and smashed it hard on his head.

“I was dizzy and didn’t see anything.”

Wuzhuang Temple, front yard.

Qingfeng and Mingyue walked into Tang Seng’s room carrying a cloth-covered food tray.

He said to Tang Monk who was meditating and chanting:

“Master, my Wuzhuang Monastery is in a remote mountainous area, and there is no good food. I can only offer you two pieces of traditional vegetarian fruits. Please enjoy them slowly, Master!”

Saying,

He opened the cloth and handed it over.

“Ah~”

Tang Seng was startled at once, looking at the ginseng fruit on the plate that looked like a baby, and said in a lost voice:
“What a sin! What a sin! This year the weather is good and the crops are plentiful. Why are you still eating people in your temple?”

“eat human?”

Qingfeng Mingyue was stunned when he heard this.

The next moment he burst into laughter:

“Haha, Master, you misunderstood. This is not a person, but a fruit from a tree. It’s called the ginseng fruit. It’s our treasure. Eating it can prolong one’s life!”

however,
Tang Seng, however, firmly refused to believe it:

“Nonsense, how can a person grow on a tree? This is clearly a baby that is less than three days old, how can it be a fruit? Little donor, eating people is the work of demons. I advise you not to do evil again, otherwise, you will be punished by God.”

As soon as this word comes out,
Qingfeng Mingyue laughed even louder and explained again:

“Master, we are immortals with a true spirit. How could we possibly eat humans? This is really a fruit. If you don’t believe me, try it!”

Saying,

He handed the ginseng fruit to Tang Seng again.

Tang Seng stepped back in horror: “Take it away, take it away, Amitabha!”

After saying this, he turned around and began to recite the sutra for salvation.

Seeing that Tang Seng was so stubborn, Qingfeng Mingyue had no choice but to retreat.

Go back to the room,

The two men laughed at Tang Seng for not being able to tell the truth from the false with their mortal eyes, then looked at each other, smiled in tacit understanding, and each picked up a fruit and started eating.

Although they had eaten it many times and the ginseng fruit had no effect on them anymore, they could not resist its mouth-watering sweetness.

Anyway, the fruits have been picked.

If I don’t eat it and my master comes back and takes the fruit away, I will regret it.

Qingfeng and Mingyue were so focused on eating that they didn’t notice that everything they said was heard by Zhu Bajie who was cooking next door.

Zhu Bajie was so greedy that he almost drooled.

Ginseng fruit!

Zhu Bajie has heard that it is one of the ten innate spiritual roots in the ancient times. It can help break through the bottleneck of cultivation and purify magic power. It is also a holy fruit for healing wounds and can increase lifespan.

It is the treasure that all immortals dream of.

unfortunately,

This fruit is too precious, and most people are not lucky enough to enjoy it.

right now,

How could Zhu Bajie not be envious and jealous when he saw the two Taoist children eating secretly?
Especially since he is now stuck at the bottleneck of the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal. If he can eat a ginseng fruit, he can definitely break through the realm immediately and reach the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal.

When,

In the three realms of the ancient world, he is considered a top figure.

Moreover, he can also look for Monkey King and Sha Seng. Uh… Forget about Monkey King, it seems that he even beat up the peak Daluo Golden Immortal when he caused a big fuss in the Lingxiao Palace. It’s better to look for Sha Seng to avenge the previous beating.

Thinking of this,
Zhu Bajie suddenly couldn’t sit still anymore.

But he also knew his own limitations and was not stupid enough to snatch the ginseng fruit from the Taoist boy’s mouth.

As for stealing
No, that won’t work. That thing belongs to the ancestor of earthly immortals, the Great Immortal Zhenyuan. If he is found to be the mastermind, he will probably be skinned and boiled in a pot.

With a turn of his eyes, Zhu Bajie immediately paid attention.

Without even cooking, he walked out of the kitchen and found Qi Tian sleeping comfortably on the roof.

but,

Zhu Bajie was about to speak when he suddenly sniffed vigorously:
“Why does it smell so good here? This smells good.”

“Looks familiar, right?”

Qi Tian had already noticed Zhu Bajie’s arrival and knew what he was here for.

The scene of Zhu Bajie peeping at the two Taoist boys eating ginseng fruit just now could not be hidden from his soul.

“Correct!”

Zhu Bajie scratched his head, looking puzzled: “It’s very familiar, I seem to have smelled it somewhere before, but I just can’t remember where it is!”

Qi Tian raised his lips slightly and reminded:

“Does it taste similar to ginseng fruit?”

“Yes, it’s the ginseng fruit!”

Zhu Bajie’s eyes lit up, and he immediately reacted. He looked at Qi Tian in doubt and said:
“Brother Monkey, do you know the ginseng fruit?”

“Of course I know. Not only do I know, I’ve even eaten it!”

“Have you eaten yet?”

Zhu Bajie glared:
“Brother Monkey, when did you eat it? Is it good? What does it taste like? Fragrant or sweet?”

Qi Tian smiled teasingly:
“What I just ate was sweet and delicious, leaving a lingering fragrance on my lips and teeth!”

“Ah, just now?”

Zhu Bajie was stunned for a moment, and even scratched his ears, as if he suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Seeing Zhu Bajie’s confused face, Qi Tian couldn’t help but laugh.

He took out a ginseng fruit and threw it over:

“For you!”

Zhu Bajie took it subconsciously: “Give it to me? What is it?”

“Ginseng fruit!”

“what?”

Zhu Bajie’s voice suddenly rose, and when he saw that what was in his hand was really a ginseng fruit, he immediately looked around like a thief.

When he found that no one had noticed, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then excitedly said to Qi Tian:
“Brother Monkey, you are so kind. You didn’t forget your junior brother even when you stole the fruit. From now on, if you need me to do anything, just tell me. As long as it doesn’t mean I will die or go through fire and water, I will never refuse.”

Qi Tian rolled his eyes, not wanting to bother with this idiot who was talking nonsense, and jumped off the roof.

He found Sha Seng who was feeding the horse and took out two ginseng fruits and threw them to him:

“You and Xiaobailong each take one!”

Sha Seng stared at the magical fruit in his hand for a moment, then he recognized it as a ginseng fruit.

He had seen the Jade Emperor eat it before, so he immediately bowed to Qi Tian:

“Thank you, senior brother!”

“Thank you, senior brother!”

The other voice belonged to the white dragon horse Ao Lie, because Sha Seng told him what it was.

Ao Lie was both excited and grateful.

Because of the suppression of the dragon clan’s karma, he has been at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal for a very long time.

This time, he agreed to be a mount to send Tang Seng to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. In addition to the transaction between the Dragon Clan and Buddhism, he also wanted to use the merits he would gain in the end to see if he could break through to the Daluo Jinxian.

I didn’t think so,
Before he even saw any of his merits, the eldest senior brother whom he had always been afraid of actually gave him a ginseng fruit that could help people break through bottlenecks.

How could he not be grateful?

Qi Tian didn’t think much of Sha Seng and the White Dragon Horse’s thanks.

He now eats this ginseng fruit as a snack.

Even if his Sun Wukong clone ate one, it would only allow him to reach the initial peak of the Daluo Jinxian, and would not break through to the middle stage.

Although ginseng fruit is very effective, it is mainly aimed at people below the level of Daluo Jinxian.

It is not of much assistance to the Golden Immortal who is beginning to comprehend the laws. At most, it can be used to refine and purify the magic power and to heal injuries.

As for why it was given to Zhu Bajie and the others?

“What kind of ginseng fruit is there in this temple? Which one of you stole it and ate it?”

“I, Old Sun, ate it, and Old Pig and Old Sha ate it too!”

Faced with Tang Seng’s questioning, Qi Tian directly admitted it.

but,

This admittedly made Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng a little confused.

Why are you still holding them?

but,

One should be grateful for what one has received, and be merciful when receiving something from someone, especially when it comes to a congenital spiritual fruit like the ginseng fruit.

Regardless of whether it was because they wanted to drag them to take the blame together, they couldn’t get angry.

Moreover, they are happy to take the blame since the law does not hold everyone responsible and it is not just them who stole the blame.

Therefore,
Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng also admitted it generously.

just,

What Qingfeng and Mingyue said next completely confused them both.

Because it was not three ginseng fruits that were lost, but twenty-eight. Now there is no ginseng fruit left on the tree.

Hearing this,
Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng gasped and looked shocked.

They didn’t expect that their senior brother was so cruel and stole everything.

This is a ginseng fruit, and it belongs to the ancestor of earthly immortals – the Immortal Zhenyuan.

It’s OK to steal two or three to eat, but they stole all of them.
The two of them immediately looked at Qi Tian.

Qi Tian blinked at the two of them, then took action and knocked Qingfeng Mingyue unconscious.

This scene stunned the two of them, as well as Tang Seng.

“You, me, this.”

Zhu Bahuan looked at the unconscious Qingfeng Mingyue and didn’t know what to say.

He stole someone’s things, and when he was caught, he knocked the owner unconscious. He is worthy of being the thief who once stole peaches and elixirs. His method is very skillful.

At this time, Tang Seng finally came to his senses. His face turned red with anger. He opened his mouth to scold, but Qi Tian did not give him a chance. He turned around and walked quickly outside the Wuzhuang Temple:
“Stop talking about you and me, this and that. If you don’t run now, you won’t be able to leave!”
