Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 152 Ginseng Fruit Tree
Qingfeng and Mingyue had sent their master away just now, and they learned of the arrival of Xuanzang and others through the mountain guard formation.

Although it was strange that the timing was so coincidental, he still hurried out to meet him.

Ren Qinglian frowned when she saw the two boys from a distance.

These two Taoist boys were both fresh-boned and very handsome, but from them, he felt a unique aura of grass and trees.

The reason why he dared to make such an assertion was also due to the two ghostly maidservants who had changed from vegetation to Yunzhan Cave he had seen before.It's just that in comparison, the morality of these two boys is obviously much higher. From the two of them, he didn't smell the obvious fragrance of plants and trees, so he couldn't judge the real origin of each other.

But he didn't bother with it. On the way here, he started thinking about how to make himself eat a few ginseng fruits, but he had no idea.But seeing these two boys now, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he had a general idea.

In the original book, Tang Sanzang was frightened by the appearance of the ginseng fruit, so he rejected Zhen Yuanzi's good intentions in vain, which made the two boys cheaper.Now, it just happened to let him cut off halfway and take these two ginseng fruits as his own, but how to do it exactly still needs to be carefully considered.

Thinking about it, Qingfeng and Mingyue have already welcomed the group into the lobby of Guannei.

For a while, Xuanzang and the others were all attracted by the decoration of the lobby—a colorful banner hung on the wall facing the door, with two simple characters of "Heaven and Earth" written on it. Zhang Zhuhong's carved lacquer table has a pair of gold furnace vases on it, and there are convenient incense sticks beside the furnace.

Xuanzang stepped forward to burn incense and burnt incense, and after worshiping, he couldn't help but wondered: "You two fairy boys, why don't you see that you donate to the three Qings, four emperors, and Luotians in the temple, and only serve the word 'heaven and earth'?" Incense?"

Although he was a monk since he was a child, he is also a member of the Buddhist sect, and he often deals with Taoist priests, so he naturally understands what should be enshrined in Taoist temples.

But Mingyue smiled proudly: "To tell you the truth, the teacher said, these two words, the ones above, are respectable in etiquette; the ones below, who can't stand our incense, are all flattered by my teacher."

It was the first time Xuanzang heard this kind of statement, and wondered: "What is 'flattery'?"

Qingfeng couldn't help explaining: "Sanqing is a friend of the teacher, Sidi is an old friend of the teacher; Jiuyao is the junior of the teacher, Yuan Chen is the guest of the teacher..."

The monkey had already been full of disdain, and laughed so hard when he heard the boy's nonsense.

Although Zhu Gangli had never seen Zhen Yuanzi's true face, he also knew that such a fairy mountain cave must belong to an expert. Thinking of how many times Monkey had teased him before, he deliberately asked, "What are you laughing at, Brother Monkey?"

"I didn't expect this Daotong to be a master of lying!" Monkey laughed endlessly, but it caused Xuanzang to look at him reproachfully.

"Don't blame the fairy boy, I don't know where the teacher is?" Xuanzang said again.

"Yuanshi Tianzun asked my teacher to go to Shangqing Tian Miluo Palace to listen to the 'Hunyuan Daoguo'." Qingfeng laughed.

Seeing that Xuanzang was being tricked by two boys, the monkey couldn't help shouting: "What a shameless Taoist boy! I don't know who your grandpa is, what kind of airs are you talking about! Then who in Miluo Palace is Taiyi?" Heavenly Immortal? I’ll invite you bastards to talk about it!”

Who is Yuanshi Tianzun, the most widely spread Tianzun in the world since he was proclaimed a god!supreme being.Although Xuanzang also had some doubts that these two Taoist boys were talking nonsense, but the visitors were guests, so it was hard to expose.But when he saw the monkey getting angry, he was afraid that he would quarrel with the two boys and cause trouble, so he stepped forward and said: "Wukong, don't be rude, the visitor is a guest, since his master is not here, why are you arguing with them... "

As he said that, he couldn't help but look at Ren Qinglian who was looking pensive.

It was strange to say that although the monkey was afraid of him reciting the magic spell, even if the monkey was forced to subdue it with the magic spell, most of the time it would be submissive.On the contrary, the monkey can calmly listen to many things Ren Qinglian said every time, and even change some of his original stubborn opinions.

It's just that Ren Qinglian was thinking about how to cut off the two ginseng fruits that Xuanzang didn't want without anyone noticing, so she didn't notice Xuanzang's wink.

Seeing Xuanzang, he gave a wry smile, and could only show the majesty of his master, and arranged for monkeys to let the horses out in front of the mountain gate, and Sha Wujing to guard the luggage, while Zhu Bajie unpacked the burden, and sent the disciples away first.

Qingfeng and Mingyue looked at each other, then at Ren Qinglian who hadn't left yet, hesitating to speak.

They remembered Zhen Yuanzi's advice that the matter of ginseng fruit should not be known to anyone other than Tang Seng.

Although Xuanzang didn't know what the two boys were trying to do, he knew that the two of them didn't want Ren Qinglian to stay here, so even a slight cough made Ren Qinglian wake up.

"Oh, the Great Sage and the others are all out, um, I'm going to help..." Ren Qinglian looked suddenly enlightened, knowing that Qingfeng Mingyue and the others would not take out the ginseng fruit in front of her, she said something, and she was in a hurry chased outside.

It's just that just after leaving the door, he performed the bone shrinking skill of the fragrance wine beggar.

After a few soft sounds, his body became the size of a pea.

The bone shrinking skill taught to him by Piaoxiang Wine Beggar was originally to make him the size of a child, but before he was turned into the size of an ant by a monkey, he had done some research on the changes in his own flesh and blood, and had a little understanding.Later, along the way, he begged the monkey to cast spells many times. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally found some tricks, and now he can become Pea Man.

In fact, when it comes to the control of the body of an immortal cultivator, I am afraid it is not as good as a martial artist, but the inheritance of martial arts that Ren Qinglian has obtained is not perfect, and many tricks have to be slowly figured out by herself.Of course, this process is actually of great benefit to Ren Qinglian's martial arts practice. After all, "what is done on paper is superficial, and I know that this matter must be practiced!"

After casting the spell, although the body shrinks, the power still remains.Regarding this point, Ren Qinglian had experimented many times in private, but she was not surprised by the feeling at the moment, she smiled lightly, turned around and flew into the house relying on the wind.

In the room, Qingfeng and Mingyue muttered to themselves for a while, just in time to ask about Xuanzang's origin.

"May I ask if the master is Tang Sanzang who went to the west to learn scriptures from the Tang Dynasty?"

Xuanzang replied, "That's the poor monk, why does the fairy boy know my humble name?"

Qingfeng smiled and said: "Before the master left, he ordered the disciples to receive the master. Unexpectedly, the car will come and rush, and if we are far away to welcome, the master please sit down first, and the disciples will serve tea."

Xuanzang said repeatedly: "Don't dare."

Mingyue has already turned to the inner room in a hurry, and brought a cup of fragrant tea to offer.

After finishing these, the two left Xuanzang temporarily and went back to their own room.

Ren Qinglian followed all the way, seeing that the two of them really took the golden hammer and the alchemy plate, she knew that she must be going to the ginseng orchard, so she followed closely, but the idea of ​​cutting the beard halfway became clearer and clearer.

Soon, the three of them came to an orchard in Zhulan Baojian and Qujifeng Mountain.

Some four-season vegetables were planted around the orchard, and Ren Qinglian checked secretly, but she didn't find any magic in these vegetables, presumably it was used by the Immortal Zhen Yuanzi to comprehend ordinary people's pastoral life in his spare time.

After staying in the outer vegetable garden, there is a big tree in the middle, which is really fragrant with green branches and dark green leaves.

Ren Qinglian looked up and secretly estimated that it must be thousands of feet high. When she checked with her spiritual sense, the roots buried in the ground also had a radius of seventy or eighty feet.

While the two boys were picking the fruit, Ren Qinglian leaned on a branch, looked curiously at the child-like fruit above her head, and took a deep breath.

Immediately afterwards, there was an indescribable sense of comfort, which almost made him groan.

Subconsciously activated the Heaven Swallowing Art, and soon discovered that the power of the wood spirit around the big tree began to frantically pour into his dantian.

Ren Qinglian vaguely remembered that it was said in the original book that just by smelling this ginseng fruit, one could live 360 ​​years.

Looking at it now, even if it is a bit exaggerated, it is not much different. Smelling the fragrance of the fruit, the whole person has a little more vitality.

And as he unscrupulously absorbed the aura of heaven and earth around the fruit tree, in his dantian, more and more wood spiritual energy began to merge into the crystallization where the Xun hexagram was located.

However, in the process, he soon discovered that he still had a small part of the spirit of guarding the soil absorbed by him from the ginseng fruit on the top of his head.

It turns out that the five elements of this ginseng fruit tree belong to the earth, and if it is refined into a magic weapon, it will be a top-level earth attribute congenital spiritual treasure.It's just that Zhen Yuanzi already has the Earth Book, a top-level soil-attribute defensive magic weapon, so naturally he doesn't need another similar magic weapon to plant this ginseng fruit tree into an orchard.

As a fruit tree, the growth of ginseng fruit will be affected by the changing seasons of the seasons.

There are twelve months in a year, corresponding to the twelve earthly branches. In this way, in the four seasons, wood is prosperous in spring, fire is prosperous in summer, gold is prosperous in autumn, and water is prosperous in winter. Only the last month of each season is earthy. .

That's why the land father-in-law in the original book said that ginseng fruit is in awe of the five elements, falls when it meets gold, scorches when it meets fire, melts when it meets water, withers when it meets wood, and enters when it meets soil.
