Apricot of the Great Desolation

Chapter 292

Sun Wukong's mind instantly became peaceful. He walked down quietly and stood obediently in front of the girl.

If a familiar creature saw it, he would definitely be shocked.

Sun Wukong was originally a lawless, ferocious and violent creature, but for some reason, after seeing this girl, he had no thoughts at all.

The girl stroked the monkey's golden hair, with a peaceful smile on her face, and said, "Poor little monkey!"

There was a hint of regret in the tone!

Sun Wukong was horrified. He knew something was wrong with him, but his body was not under his control at all.

The woman in front of him was terrifying, even more terrifying than those three eyes, and even stronger than Lei Zhenzi.

Among all the creatures that Monkey has seen, apart from his master Bodhi Patriarch, only the Ran Deng Buddha who suppressed him 500 years ago can be compared to him. In some ways, this woman is even more powerful than Ran Deng. fear.

This woman has an aura of kindness, kindness and peace. This aura makes the monkey feel very kind, as if she has returned to the time when she was absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon on the top of the Flower and Fruit Mountain.

The woman stretched out her hand, and three fruits flew out from the depths of the orchard, one shaped like a peach, one shaped like a plum, and one shaped like a sweet fruit.

She placed the fruit in the monkey's plush hands and said, "We are destined to meet each other, so I will give you this fruit!"

The monkey stared straight at the three fruits in front of him. The source of life told him that these three fruits were of great benefit to him.

But he didn't know what the woman in front of him was doing, and he was extremely resistant in his heart, but his body was completely out of control, even the Dao in his body was jumping for joy.

The woman seemed to see the resistance in the monkey's heart, she chuckled and said:

"Little monkey, practice hard and you will know everything in the future!"

He left a word and then disappeared, along with the orchard.

Sun Wukong felt like a dream, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion, but looking at the three fruits in his hand, he knew that all of this was real.

The three fruits in front of him had a fatal attraction to him, which came from the origin of life.

In other words, this fruit can evolve the body of life. You must know that the true meaning of practice is to evolve the body of life and increase wisdom.
Sun Wukong hesitated, but his body's desire still made him swallow three fruits.

In an instant, the extremely strong life source burst out from his body, and the vast essence overflowed.

As the source of life increased, his heels and feet also strengthened, and wave after wave of Taoist rhymes came to his mind, pushing the monkey's cultivation forward.

Sun Wukong was a little surprised. He was not an ignorant monkey. He had also eaten the flat peaches in heaven back then, but they were far inferior to the fruits in front of him.

After eating three fruits, he only felt that his life source was much stronger, his energy, energy and spirit increased at the same time, and his innate gods, demons and feet were also strengthened a little.

You must know that there are not many spiritual objects in the ancient world that can improve the feet of the innate demon, and most of them are targeted.

For example, fusang can only enhance the origin of yang attributes of innate gods and demons, and laurel can only enhance the origin of yin attributes of innate gods and demons.

And this spiritual fruit can enhance the innate origin of any living being. Although the enhancement is not much, it is more popular among the audience. For the big forces in the ancient world, this acquired spiritual root is more important than the innate spiritual root.

Sun Wukong didn't know that this fruit was specially bred by Emperor Shennong and Zhen Yuanzi for the girl. Although it was an acquired spiritual fruit, its efficacy was no worse than that of the ten innate spiritual roots.

The woman gave him such a precious spiritual fruit without any care. Sun Wukong couldn't understand why?
He had never seen that woman before, so why did he feel so intimate with her?

Why did such a terrifying existence not leave its name in the ancient world?
All of this made Sun Wukong puzzled. For a moment, he only felt that he was facing more fog.

While Sun Wukong was thinking about the origin of the girl, Zhu Bajie caught up with him. Looking at the monkey standing there blankly, he couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Monkey, what's wrong with you!"

Sun Wukong reacted and said quickly: "Nothing, nothing!"

"We have explored a million miles around, it's time for us to go back!" Zhu Bajie said with an exhausted look.

The monkey looked at the largest mountain range in the distance and said, "Junior brother, have you never seen that mountain before?"

Zhu Bajie's heart tightened, and he said calmly: "Brother Monkey, I, Old Zhu, have been to that place a long time ago. There is only one Taoist temple!"

Sun Wukong nodded and said no more. After what had just happened, he was not in the mood to continue exploring, so he and Zhu Bajie returned the same way.

After meeting up with Xuanzang and others, the group set out on the road again. A few months later, the group also walked through the outskirts of Wanshou Mountain and came to the main line.

Looking around, the colorful clouds are stretching, the red clouds are shrouded, thick and simple, it seems to have changed a world, towering as high as nine days, vast and endless, towering spiritual trees, fairy flowers blooming, gods, beasts and spirits are everywhere, it looks like a blessed place.

And I don’t know why, but the mountain in front of me has an inexplicable sense of majesty, as if it is a saint in the mountain.

Seeing the endless white jade steps straight up to the sky, Monkey King cast his eyes on Zhu Bajie, with a questioning look in his eyes.

Zhu Bajie's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "Isn't it normal for many Taoist cultivators to stop in the fairy mountain and blessed land?"

This said, not only Sun Wukong, but also Xuanzang fell silent.

The best place Xuanzang had ever seen in his life was Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. It was the most majestic city in the human world. In his impression, it was Jinshan Temple, a dojo with scattered immortals. If compared with Chang'an , that’s also a far cry from that.

But in Xuanzang's eyes, if Chang'an, the kingdom of heaven on earth, is compared with the Wanshou Mountain, the glow of fireflies and candles competes with the bright moon.

In such a blessed land, the creatures in it must be extraordinary. How do you call this ordinary?

"Since you have come here, you should visit the master here!" Xuanzang said softly.

Several people walked up the white jade stone steps. After an unknown amount of time, they finally saw the true appearance of the Taoist temple.

The two wooden doors in front of him were closed tightly, and two statues of unknown alien beasts were sitting at the door. They were lifelike and exuded a faint coercion, as if they were alive.

There is a couplet written on the plaques on both sides of the door, saying: "The Immortal Palace of Immortality, the Taoist Family that lives as long as Heaven!"

Seeing this scene, the monkey couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Master, three junior brothers, you see, the master here is very good at talking big words. Back then, I made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace. Not even Taishang Laojun's Tusita Palace made such arrogant words!"

As soon as these words came out, Xuanzang felt okay, but the other three people were immediately frightened. Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing spoke at the same time:
"Big Brother (Monkey Brother), don't talk nonsense!"

Sha Wujing hurriedly stepped forward and told Sun Wukong: "Elder brother, this place is no better than the place we went to before. Don't talk nonsense!"

Sun Wukong wondered, what is so special about this place?Zhu Bajie became more diligent when he arrived here, and even took the initiative to explore the road!When Sha Wujing came here, he also became strange.

In the past, Sha Wujing was just a bastard, doing whatever others did!But what happened today? He actually took the initiative to mind his own business.

Sun Wukong is not a fool. One person may be deceiving him by doing this, but both of them behave like this, which proves that this place is indeed extraordinary.

In just an instant, all the information went through Sun Wukong's mind, but he did not stop. At this moment, he had other thoughts.

He said with an unruly look on his face: "Is there anything we can't say nonsense? I have dealt with the Jade Emperor above the Nine Heavens, the Laojun in Tushita Palace, and even beat up the Dragon King of the East China Sea and the King of Yama , how can you be afraid of a small casual cultivator like him?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Bajie was so frightened that the fat on his belly trembled, Sha Wujing even threw away the pole, and Xuanzang looked a little worried!

Sun Wukong's feeling has become stronger and stronger these days. He feels that everything he experienced along the way was arranged by someone, because it was such a coincidence.

On average, they would see one monster every few months that others would never see in their lifetime, and they must be the mounts, pets, and disciples of the gods and Buddhas.

It’s the same script every time: the monk gets caught → eats monk’s meat → fights with monsters → can’t fight → takes a shower for a few months → moves rescuers → saves the monk → moves on.

These things go back and forth, and even the most stupid creature feels that something is wrong.

Along the way, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing would look frightened every time they encountered monsters.

But Sun Wukong still noticed something was wrong, as if they were all acting.

Only when they arrived at Wanshou Mountain did Sun Wukong realize that they were really afraid of the master here, so could they test it out?
Therefore, he pretended to be crazy and rebellious.

"Wukong, don't break the rules!" Xuanzang scolded.

To this day, although Sun Wukong still makes superficial efforts towards Xuanzang, Xuanzang still wants to educate Sun Wukong and change him as always!

At this moment, the wooden door opened with a creak, and two little Taoist boys, one male and one female, came out. They couldn't see clearly their cultivation levels, but they could only feel the fragrance of vegetation, which was refreshing.

Qingfeng said: "But a monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty?"

Everyone is used to it. Whenever they meet a master of mountains and rivers along the way, they will know that they are from the Eastern Land and Tang Dynasty.

Seeing that the two Taoist boys did not get angry, Sun Wukong had a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Xuanzang took a step forward, clasped his hands, and bowed gently: "The poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the east, went to the west to worship Buddha and seek scriptures, passed by the treasure land, and came here to visit!"

Qingfeng Mingyue nodded and without saying much, led everyone into Wuzhuang Temple.

At this moment, the white dragon horse suddenly neighed and kicked in place, unable to get in. Seeing this, Xuanzang and Sun Wukong were both puzzled.

This white dragon horse has always been docile. He is the third prince of the Dragon King. He must have divinity. What do you see?

Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha had an idea in their minds. Qingfeng Mingyue also knew why. Qingfeng continued:

"Third Prince, what happened back then has nothing to do with you, and Senior Sister has no intention of venting her anger on you. Come in together!"

After the words fell, Bai Longma calmed down and followed everyone into the Taoist temple.

Sun Wukong was curious in his heart. He lagged behind slightly and went to Zhu Bajie to send a message and asked: "What is the connection between the second junior brother and the fourth junior brother and this Wuzhuang Temple?"

Zhu Bajie's face immediately turned green. What's the difference between shouting with a loudspeaker in the saint's dojo?
He looked around and found nothing unusual. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and explained to the monkey:
"Brother Monkey, have you ever heard the story of Jingwei reclaiming the sea?"

"Of course I've heard of it!"

"That Jingwei later received help from an expert, and now he worships under the Wuzhuang Temple! The fourth junior brother is originally from the Dragon Clan..."

At this point, Sun Wukong suddenly realized and understood why Bai Longma stopped going in at first!

After crossing the foyer and walking a short distance, I saw an offering table in front of me. There were two things on it. One was a tablet with the words "Heaven and Earth" written in Xiantian Taoist script.

The second is a painted statue of a Taoist. He is wearing a Taoist robe with a green background and purple patterns. His black hair is tied up in a bun, tied with a sword and hairpin. He has a long shuttle on his feet, a bell hanging on his waist, and his hands on his back.

The face is blurred, and the temperament is dusty and refined.

Sun Wukong looked left and right, but he couldn't find the honorary positions of the Taoist Three Purities, the Buddhist Buddhas, the Confucian sage teachers, and the gods in heaven that are often enshrined in the world.

He had a plan in mind and asked a little provocatively: "Isn't this a Taoist temple? Why not enshrine the gods and Buddhas in the sky and the three pure statues?"

Mingyue smiled proudly and said: "Sanqing is the same generation as my master, and the gods and Buddhas in the sky are even juniors. How can he accept my master's worship?"

"Then who is this Taoist? What achievements does he have? How can he be greater than the Three Pure Ones and the Mantian Gods and Buddhas?" Sun Wukong asked, pointing to Zhang Ye's statue.

Qingfeng Mingyue had a look of fanaticism in her eyes. Unexpectedly, the eyes of Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing and Bai Longma were equally fanatical.

As a third-generation disciple of Xuanmen, he was above all sentient beings in the prehistoric world, leading the prehistoric world to attack the heavens, devouring all realms to become his own body, raising the upper limit of the prehistoric world, and benefiting countless living beings.

Such beings, with their illustrious achievements and immeasurable morals, are creatures destined to be recorded in the long river of heaven.

Qingfeng's tone was full of reverence and said: "This man is a legend to the whole prehistoric world, and he has a half-teacher friendship with my master, so he is naturally worthy of worship!"

Xuanzang, who had no sense of presence since entering Wuzhuang Temple, took a step forward and said, "Now that we are here, I should put up a stick of incense and pay my respects!"

Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha couldn't wait any longer. They hurriedly stepped forward, holding the incense of heaven and earth, and bowed and kowtowed respectfully, feeling extremely pious in their hearts.

Even Xuanzang, although he paid homage according to Buddhist rites, his etiquette was thorough and meticulous.

Only Sun Wukong stood there blankly, with a calm expression and no movement. Xuanzang was used to it.

Sun Wukong never worshiped any statues of gods he encountered along the way.

According to him, he had only worshiped his true master in his life, and the others were not worthy of his worship. Even when Xuanzang rescued him, he did not bow down.

But this scene frightened Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, and they looked at Qingfeng Mingyue cautiously.

Sure enough, Qingfeng Mingyue's face had turned dark, and the aura around her body was faintly floating, as if she was about to take action.
