was asked by Zhen Yuanzi like this, Xuanzang couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Others didn't care, they just regarded it as a polite remark, and they still did what they should do, but Xuanzang knew the weight of this sentence.

The Tao and the Buddha are two schools, and although there is no direct conflict, they are different in teachings.

The so-called Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory.

If Xuanzang took the initiative to propose, this dignified Wanshou Daxian Zhen Yuanzi, one of the few great powers of Taoism, actually said that he was curious about the "Pudu" that belonged to Buddhism, and asked Xuanzang to tell himself such a thing, which really had to make Xuanzang feel puzzled.

For a while, Xuanzang, who had always collapsed in front of Mount Tai and did not change his face, was also a little uncertain.

Of course, it was not only Xuanzang who was puzzled among the people present at this time, the monkey's eyes on the side had already narrowed into a slit.

Not long ago, didn't the pure heart just sue the monkey Taoist who was also provoked by him? To say that Sanqing or Su Bo proposed to obstruct it, the monkey really didn't believe it. That's not their style. Thinking about it, among the several powers, only this stunned Qingzhen Yuanzi is likely to be strong.

Could it be that the so-called provocation of Taoism refers to him?

Thinking of this, the monkey's eyebrows raised slightly, and his gaze became more and more meaningful.

Seeing that Xuanzang was a little hesitant, Zhen Yuanzi continued to arch his hand and said, "I also hope that Master Xuanzang will not hesitate to teach." ”

As he spoke, he bowed down and bowed.

Xuanzang was taken aback, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and said: "Wanshou Daxian is very polite, Xuanzang can't stand this ceremony." ”

"Then Master Xuanzang agreed?" Raising his head, Zhen Yuanzi looked at Xuanzang with a smile.

"This ......" winked dumbly. Xuanzang looked at the monkey on the side. He hesitated for a moment. Only then did he put his hands together and said softly: "Xuanzang...... Just do your best. ”

Hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi slowly raised his head, stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Poor Dao has thanked Master Xuanzang in advance here." ”

Xuanzang folded his hands and replied, "Don't dare." ”

The monkey on the side had already frowned.

With this attitude, the monkey didn't believe that Zhen Yuanzi had no plans.

At this moment, several Taoist disciples slowly walked in from outside the door with various dishes, and quickly filled the colorful table.

One of the Taoist disciples slowly walked up to Zhen Yuanzi and said, "Master." The food is ready. ”

Zhen Yuanzi nodded, and said to Xuanzang: "This is the food that this Wuzhuang Guan specially prepared for you, please use it slowly." The journey is tiring, and the poor road will not disturb your rest. In the afternoon, Poor Dao sent someone to pick up Master Xuanzang. ”

Xuanzang clasped his hands together, bowed down and said, "There is a great immortal of longevity." ”

"Poor Dao, farewell. With that, Zhen Yuanzi turned around and walked out, and the group of Taoist disciples also followed closely, leaving only one to stand outside the door and be sent at any time.

After Zhen Yuanzi leaves. Only then did everyone slowly gather around the table of dishes.

The originally simple dishes have changed countless tricks in the hands of the chefs of Wuzhuang Guan, and they can be seen from a distance. There are birds, animals, flowers, green leaves, and all kinds of dishes, just like pieces of art, and even it is difficult to distinguish its original material.

Seeing these dishes, Xiao Bailong suddenly blossomed: "This is like what people eat, yes, no worse than the chef of my Xihai Dragon Palace." However, you have to try the taste to be final. ”

With that, he picked up his chopsticks and stretched them out to the dish.

But before he could touch the dish, he only heard a "pop", and the hand had been slapped away by the monkey.

With this beat, Xiao Bailong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly picked up the chopsticks with both hands and sent them to the monkey, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, the Great Sage should move the chopsticks first." Look at Ao Lie, I haven't eaten anything good for too long, and even the gluttonous worms have been raised. Hey, confused, confused. ”

As he spoke, he pretended to slap his mouth.

Reaching out to take the chopsticks handed over by the little white dragon, the monkey glanced at him lightly and sighed: "So greedy, it's not wrong to be poisoned." ”

"Poisonous?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

Xuanzang took a deep breath and said, "It shouldn't be, after all, he is a longevity immortal." ”

"You know what? Is it a good idea for him to invite us? Tell me, just because of the festivals I have with him, under what circumstances will he be hospitable? As he spoke, the monkey stepped on the chair and stretched out his chopsticks to flip through the dishes, and the spiritual power of the Dao Dao flowed through his hand into the dishes along the chopsticks.

It wasn't until the table full of art-like dishes had been turned over that the monkey waved his hand and said, "I've confirmed that it's not poisonous, let's eat it." ”

After that, he put the chopsticks on the table, turned around and walked out the door, leaving everyone looking at each other at a table of dishes.

After a while, the little white dragon looked at the dish and laughed slowly, and said, "Great Sage, isn't it too much?

Raising his head, he found that the others not only did not smile, but also looked stern one by one, so he had to quickly put away the smiles on their faces.

After a long time, Tianpeng sighed lightly and said, "There is nothing wrong with being careful, since you have confirmed that it is not poisonous, let's eat it." ”

As he spoke, he took the lead in sitting down in his chair.

......

At this time, in another place of Wuzhuang Temple, a Taoist disciple slowly walked into the main hall with a plate with red cloth.

"Master, the ginseng fruit has been picked, there are five in total. ”

Zhen Yuanzi, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, slowly opened one eye.

The disciple immediately lifted the corner of the red cloth.

Under the red cloth, white ginseng fruits in the shape of babies radiated a milky white glow.

Covering the red cloth again, the Taoist disciple asked softly, "Master, do you want to send the ginseng fruit over now?"

Slowly closing his eyes, Zhen Yuanzi said in a low voice: "Let's put it first, don't worry." After the teacher has talked with Master Xuanzang, he will make a decision. ”

"The disciple obeyed. ”

The Taoist disciple bowed to Zhen Yuanzi, and slowly withdrew from the outside of the main hall with a plate containing ginseng fruit in both hands.

......

At this time, the monkey was searching around in the Wuzhuang Temple.

The huge Wuzhuang view. The scale of a palace. This inhabits it. But there were only sixty or seventy Taoists. As for the defensive array, although there were a lot, they were not activated, so that the monkey seemed to be in a no-man's land.

In this meeting, Xuanzang and the others haven't even finished their meals, and the monkeys have searched almost the entire Wuzhuang Temple, and even gone under the ginseng fruit tree, however. Nothing unusual was found. The monkey was in no mood but to return to the attic where he lived.

In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon, and Zhen Yuanzi really sent someone.

As soon as the disciple crossed the threshold, he saw the monkey's golden rod lying in front of him.

With Erlang's legs crossed, the monkey swayed and looked at the disciple.

Seeing this, the Taoist disciple had to stop, saluted Xuanzang through the golden hoop stick, and then saluted the monkey, and said, "The family master ordered the disciple to come and pick up Master Xuanzang to the main hall. ”

The monkey looked up and grinned and asked, "Shall I go together?"

"Okay. ”

"What about the others?"

"That's fine. ”

Turn your head. The monkey waved his hand at the others and said, "In that case, let's go to the main hall together." ”

"A few please. He said. The disciple turned sideways and made a casual "please" gesture.

Everyone glanced at each other, and one by one they got up and followed.

In a short time, under the guidance of the disciple, the people came to the main hall.

Seeing everyone, Zhen Yuanzi was still as polite as before, and immediately got up to greet him.

The two sides greeted each other, and when they were seated and had tea, Zhen Yuanzi said softly: "Regarding this 'Pudu', Poor Dao has always been puzzled, and I also ask Master Xuanzang to clarify." ”

"Long Life Daisen, please speak. Xuanzang said immediately.

Zhen Yuanzi cleared his throat and said: "The so-called Pudu Pudu, this 'Pudu' belongs to the meaning of the unity of all living beings, and this 'crossing' is to arrive on the other side." Poor Dao said this, but is there a mistake or omission?"

"There are no mistakes. ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi smiled faintly, stroked his long beard and said, "Since this is the case, then Poor Dao has to ask curiously, where is this other side?"

Xuanzang raised his head slightly, thought for a while, and replied respectfully with his hands folded: "On the other side, the opposite one lies in the sea of bitterness. Crossing is to help them get out of the sea of suffering. What the other side refers to is naturally the place of bliss. ”

Zhen Yuanzi stroked his long beard in one hand, laughed hehehe, and said, "Then can you ask Master Xuanzang to tell this 'Bliss' in detail?"

"The poor monk is ugly. Xuanzang bowed slightly, paused slightly, seemed to sort out his thoughts, and said: "This so-called place of bliss is not a reality, but lies in the epiphany of the suffering of birth, old suffering, sickness, death, love and parting suffering, resentment and hatred, asking for no suffering, five yin blazing suffering, and the meaning of getting rid of eight sufferings......"

The two of them chatted like this, Zhen Yuanzi kept asking, and Xuanzang answered all questions. Every now and then, Zhen Yuanzi would nod his head in agreement.

The monkeys on the side were a little dazed.

No matter how you look at this, Zhen Yuanzi didn't mean to make things difficult, but had an attitude of humbly asking for advice.

What's going on?

Could it be that the dignified Longevity Immortal is also planning to change to the sect?

If that's the case, that's a good thing. With such a powerful person who is famous in the Three Realms, this westward journey must be much smoother.

After listening to this for a long time, the two talked about what Pudu was, how to preach Pudu, and talked about various details of Pudu.

In this part, Xuanzang admitted that he had not really had an epiphany, and Zhen Yuanzi also expressed his understanding, and even opened his mouth to propose some small constructions.

That attitude is really kind.

"Could it be that I have a lot of heart and a villain's heart to live the belly of a gentleman?" the monkey couldn't help but wonder.

The more the two chatted, the more mysterious they became, and gradually, among the people present, I am afraid that only Xuanzang was the only one who could understand.

Stretching his waist, the monkey left everyone behind, and slowly walked out of the hall with a golden hoop stick and looked up at the sky, making a dazed look. But until this time, he still used his divine sense to lock on to Xuanzang's location, and within a radius of one mile, no wind and grass could escape his ears and eyes.

However, Zhen Yuanzi's attitude was still the same, and he didn't mean to tear his face and do something.

"Hey, it looks like I'm thinking too much. Shaking his head helplessly, the monkey turned and returned to the temple.

Zhen Yuanzi is a Taoist power in the end. Many methods. Put all the doors of Buddhism. Actually, it's the same. Xuanzang only needs to say one word, and then Zhen Yuanzi can understand what Xuanzang thinks, and then draw inferences.

After a short time, the discussion in the hall was nearing the end, and Xuanzang had nothing to explain, so he had to bow his head and bow.

That Zhen Yuanzi didn't make much trouble, just laughed and stretched out his hand. The Taoist disciple who had been waiting on the side brought the plate covered with red cloth to Zhen Yuanzi.

"Poor Dao thanked Master Xuanzang for explaining today, the way of Pudu really made the poor Dao suddenly open. If this path is proven, it will be a blessing for all sentient beings. Stretching out his hand to uncover the red cloth, Zhen Yuanzi chuckled and said: "This is the ginseng fruit I planted in my view, a total of five, and I will give it to you. Please also ask Master Xuanzang not to refuse. ”

I saw the ginseng fruits that glowed softly and took the shape of a baby. Everyone present couldn't help but look twice.

The Three Realms all know that the ginseng fruit is a life-prolonging treasure on the same level as the heavenly peach, and those present have eaten the peach in Tianpeng and the little white dragon. Even at this time, there were still three peaches in the group's bags. To them, the peach is nothing.

But these two effects are equally famous, and this rare Cheng dù cannot be equated.

Although the peach is planted in the Nine Heavens, one day in the sky and one year on the earth, and the time required to ripen is extremely long, there is a whole peach orchard and thousands of peach trees. Really calculated, in one day in the mortal world, there are several peaches ripe in the heavenly court. And this ginseng fruit tree is the only one in the sky and on the ground, there is no other semicolon, and the ripening time required is tens of thousands of years in the mortal world. In addition, the ginseng fruit has a very short storage time after picking, and there are many people in the three realms who have heard of its name, but there are very few who have actually seen it, let alone have the opportunity to feast on it.

Among the people present, only Tianpeng had smelled the smell when he was a court guard in his early years, when he was still in town and Yuanzi, and offered ginseng fruit to the Jade Emperor. As for the ginseng fruit flavored tea that Zhen Yuanzi took out in the private meeting between Tianpeng and Zhen Yuanzi later, it can't be counted.

Holding the plate, the Taoist disciple slowly walked up to Xuanzang, bowed down, and said softly: "Master Xuanzang, please." ”

Xuanzang looked at the ginseng fruit on the plate, hesitated a little and said: "If you don't have merit, Xuanzang can't accept this gift." ”

"Take it. Zhen Yuanzi sighed lightly: "The poor road has already been said, so it should be Master Xuanzang's explanation of the poor road today." After the ginseng fruit is plucked from the tree, it can only be kept for one day. Now that it has been taken off, I also ask Master Xuanzang not to shirk, so that he violently destroyed the heavenly things. The Tibetan scriptures are worth a thousand yuan. As long as Master Xuanzang understands the true meaning of this Pudu Dao in the future, remember to return to the Wuzhuang View and talk to the poor Dao, and the poor Dao will be satisfied. ”

Hearing this, Xuanzang looked at the monkey, and after confirming that the monkey did not clearly object, he folded his hands and bowed down and said, "Since this is the case, Xuanzang will thank Wanshou Daxian." ”

By this time, it was nightfall.

After taking the ginseng fruit and saying goodbye to Zhen Yuanzi, everyone returned to their residence under the guidance of the Taoist.

As soon as he returned to his residence, the monkey checked the ginseng fruit that had just arrived, and only after confirming that it was non-toxic did he give it to everyone.

The black bear happily hid the ginseng fruit in his sleeve and sniffed it from time to time, saying that he would stay for one more night and eat it tomorrow.

Needless to say, the little white dragon took it and began to eat, chewing and swallowing slowly, with a look of enjoyment.

Tian Peng took the ginseng fruit, and sat in the moonlight and looked at it carefully, as if curious why the fruit took the shape of a baby.

The monkey didn't take it at all, and it was still on the plate with Xuanzang's one and placed it on the table. Silently walked out of the door and took on the responsibility of the vigil.

Time passed slowly, and in the middle of the night, the monkey sitting cross-legged on the roof looked down and saw the canopy still holding the ginseng fruit sitting in the yard to watch, and couldn't help but say: "Don't look at it, it will make you look bad if you look at it again." Let's eat it quickly. If you're thinking about sending it to the fairy tomorrow morning, I'll have another one, just take it. ”

Tianpeng stroked the white jade-like fruit and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the Great Sage, Nishang already has a peach, and it is meaningless to eat this ginseng fruit again." If you just want to try it, wait for the canopy to remember the taste, and then meet and change into two, it's the same. ”

"Hey, I thought you were figuring out how to give ginseng fruit. ”

"Since I have agreed to go west, I will not leave casually. ”

The monkey let out a long sigh and said, "I still believe in you." ”

At this moment, the little white dragon pushed open the door and walked out from inside holding his stomach and swaying, muttering in his mouth: "This Zhen Yuanzi, if you really have bad intentions, you can send ginseng fruit, and you want to yin us together, it's true." ”

Saying this, the monkey quickly stood up and shouted, "What happened?"

Raising his head, the little white dragon grinned at the monkey and said, "It's nothing, the Great Sage doesn't need to be nervous." Zhen Yuanzi, that guy, gave ginseng fruit and didn't explain how to eat ginseng fruit. This thing is different from peaches, when you eat it...... Hehe, you must exercise your spiritual power when eating, otherwise you will disrupt the meridians. But it's nothing, you can just breathe yourself. I didn't know it just now, so I just ate it, and now it's having a seizure. ”

As he spoke, he laughed. The monkeys present, the canopy, were already pale.

......

At this time, a Taoist disciple hurriedly rushed into the bright hall, knelt down in front of Zhen Yuanzi, and reported in a low voice: "Master, the disciple who was in charge of sending Master Xuanzang and his party has just reported the third watch. ”

"Oh?" Zhen Yuanzi opened his eyes, laughed slowly, and sighed leisurely: "So, Xuanzang has already eaten the ginseng fruit? After so many years, this is the first Buddhist disciple to eat ginseng fruit. (To be continued......)
