Chapter 478 Zhen Yuanzi Daxian

"This guy Bajie is so bold that he actually ate 12 fruits in one breath..." Cheng Long, who had been paying attention to the movements of Bajie and Sha Seng throughout the whole process, had a deeper understanding of Bajie's character who was often unable to accomplish anything and often made trouble.

Relying on his background as a human being, he did not take the immortal Zhen Yuanzi seriously and was simply trying to offend him to death. Even if he had not eaten too much, Bajie himself could not bear the tremendous vitality contained in the ginseng fruits, and it is estimated that all the ginseng fruits on the tree would have been eaten by him.

Sha Seng didn't get to taste any of them, but was caught red-handed, which was really unlucky.

But it was not unfair to be beaten.

Sha Seng just didn't get to eat the ginseng fruit, that doesn't mean he didn't have the idea of ​​stealing it.

Therefore, Cheng Long did not intervene and just watched the development of the situation.

It was not until Qingfeng Mingyue captured Sha Seng and Bajie, who was hiding in a corner to refine the ginseng fruit, and brought them to Tang Seng to ask for an explanation that he appeared.

"Two fairy children, what are you doing?"

Tang Monk, who had been staying in a side hall chanting Buddhist scriptures and reciting Buddha's name, stood up in confusion, his eyes full of doubts when he saw Bajie and Sha Monk being escorted back by Qingfeng Mingyue.

"Humph~~ We treated you with good intentions, providing you with vegetarian food and ginseng fruit, but what happened is that our good intentions led to the emergence of two thieves!" Qing Feng angrily questioned, "Elder Tang, your two good disciples just stole 13 of our ginseng fruits and ruined our master's ginseng fruit tree beyond recognition. How are you going to settle this account?"

"Bajie, is this true?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Seng suddenly looked at his eldest disciple Zhu Bajie, who was holding his stomach and wailing, his face full of shame and anger.

This fool is not only lustful and greedy, but he also steals and cheats. He is simply a puddle of mud. If Bajie was not the disciple designated by the Bodhisattva, he would have wanted to expel him from the sect.

"Master, I was just curious about the taste of the ginseng fruit and wanted to try one. I didn't expect that I couldn't stop eating it. My stomach is upset."

Bajie was feeling very uncomfortable now, and he ate 12 ginseng fruits in one breath. Before he could start to refine the powerful medicinal power in his body, he was caught by Qingfeng Mingyue and beaten.

Now not only my stomach feels uncomfortable, but my whole body starts to feel uncomfortable.

"Taking things without asking is a crime! Bajie, how come you don't even understand such a simple principle?" Tang Seng angrily scolded him, "How can I continue to be with you in the future if you are like this?"

"Ah... Master, you don't want to expel me from your sect, do you?" Bajie suddenly panicked.

Sha Seng was equally panicked. In order to travel to the West, the two of them were sent down to the mortal world hundreds of years in advance. One was mistakenly born into a pig's womb, and the other endured the pain of being pierced by thousands of arrows all day long.

If I were expelled from the sect for stealing ginseng fruit, wouldn’t that be a huge injustice?
So he began to argue.

"Master, we really didn't mean to steal the ginseng fruit. We were just so angry! Just now, the two immortal children gave you the ginseng fruit. If you didn't want it, you should have given it to me and my senior brother. But they shared it and ate it. Isn't this looking down on us?"

"What's wrong with looking down on you?"

Before Tang Seng could say anything, Qingfeng, who was still angry, saw that his defeated general pushed the responsibility onto him. He was immediately furious and said angrily, "Ginseng fruit is a rare spiritual root in the world. If a mortal smells the fruit, he can live 360 ​​years. If he eats one, he can live years. If he eats two, he can become an immortal instantly. How can you thieves get such a great opportunity so easily?"

"I'm not a thief, I'm Marshal Tianpeng."

Bajie retorted subconsciously.

"Humph~~ What can Marshal Tianpeng do? Hasn't he turned into a pig yet?"

Mingyue's words made Zhu Bajie so depressed.

Yes, no matter how prominent and noble his identity was in his previous life, now he is just a successful pig demon.

This is the truth.

"Two fairy children, my disciples' greed has caused a great disaster. I wonder how you plan to deal with them?" Tang Seng didn't know how to solve the problem for a while, so he could only take it one step at a time.

Cheng Long arrived at the side hall at some point, folded his hands across his chest, and leaned quietly against a stone pillar, letting the breeze and moon question Tang Seng.

If you make a mistake you must admit it, and if you are beaten you must stand at attention.

Tang Sanzang did a very good job in this regard and did not quibble or deny the facts.

"Of course he will be imprisoned until the master comes back. We are only informing you and this elder that before our master comes back, you can only move around in the front yard and are not allowed to leave without permission. Those who violate the rules will bear the consequences themselves."

"Mingyue, let's go."

Qingfeng left these words, then called Mingyue to escort Bajie and Sha Seng, and turned away angrily.

Tang Seng looked at the figures of the people walking away, anxious, and subconsciously looked at Cheng Long and asked, "Brother Sun, Bajie and Sha Seng were caught stealing the spiritual fruit. What should we do?"

"Ginseng fruit is a rare treasure that can make people live longer and even ascend to heaven in broad daylight. It only produces thirty fruits in ten thousand years. Bajie and Sha Seng secretly ate thirteen. When the immortal Zhen Yuanzi comes back, he will be furious."

At this point, Cheng Long changed the subject and whispered, "Why don't we leave secretly at night to avoid being implicated? After all, the journey to the west is the real business. Bajie and Sha Seng were arranged by the Bodhisattva to protect you from disasters, but now... you can see that they are not capable of helping you to protect you from disasters, and instead caused a lot of trouble."

"Isn't this not good?"

Tang Seng did not expect that Brother Sun would give such an answer. At first glance, it seemed a bit cold and heartless, but in fact, the Bodhisattva arranged so many people to follow him to the West to obtain the scriptures, and he really wanted these people to help ward off disasters.

It would be fine if Bajie and Sha Seng had the ability, but if they really don't, they can just help lead the horses and carry the luggage.

But if something like this happens and it might even implicate his own apprentice, there's really no need to go to great lengths to rescue him. Leaving secretly might be the best option.

But he is a monk!
When a disciple makes a mistake, his master will leave overnight. How can he face Buddha Tathagata when he arrives at the Great Leiyin Temple in the future?
"Sanzang, if you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. You must make a choice now, otherwise once the immortal Zhen Yuanzi comes back, even I won't be able to protect you."

Cheng Long was indeed not sure that he could take Tang Sanzang away safely without exposing his true level of cultivation.

The immortal Zhen Yuanzi can trap him tightly with the world in his sleeve.

"No, no, I am a monk, how could I do something treacherous?"

"Sanzang, this is not betrayal, this is killing one's relatives for the sake of justice."

What Cheng Long said is right. Tang Seng's abandonment of Bajie and Sha Wujing can be described as a clear distinction between love and hate. It cannot be considered as betrayal, but at most a bit irresponsible.

"..."

Tang Seng twitched his lips, feeling ashamed and annoyed once again at the behavior of Bajie and Sha Seng. These two bastards never got along well, they either ate or slept, and now they were stealing and causing big trouble.

Carrying it with me, I feel really embarrassed.

Ever since!
Wait until the night is dark and quiet.

Tang Seng, unable to sleep, secretly came to Cheng Long's room and said in a low voice: "Brother Sun, I have thought it through. Journey to the West is a big deal. I can't neglect the mission for the sake of two sneaky disciples. Let's go."

"it is good."

Cheng Long smiled.

He was pleased to see the change in Tang Monk.

Tang Sanzang, who is not pedantic and knows how to weigh the pros and cons, is the Tang Dynasty monk he likes.

After a while, the two of them packed their luggage and secretly left Wuzhuang Temple with the white dragon horse.

It might be because Bajie and Sha Wujing were imprisoned, they never thought that Sun Wukong and Tang Seng would leave, so when they left, it was particularly smooth, and the mountain protection formation did not stop them at all.

Overnight, at Tang Seng's urging, Cheng Long took him on a run for hundreds of miles, and only stopped when they were far away from Wuzhuang Temple. ...

West Heaven, Daleiyin Temple.

The Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats looked at the scene in the sky with playful expressions. Tathagata Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva could not help but twitch their lips.

The person they chose to seek the scriptures actually fled from Wuzhuang Temple overnight because he was afraid of Zhen Yuanzi, and even left his disciple behind.

Isn't this just another slap in their face for such a cowardly and fearful pilgrim?
"Buddha, this matter cannot be blamed on Sanzang and Wukong. It is really because Bajie and Sha Seng are too unreliable. Stealing the ginseng fruit is fine, but Bajie, that fool, actually ate more than a dozen in one breath. Let alone Qingfeng Mingyue, I would also be furious if it were me."

Although Guanyin also looked down on Zhu Bajie, among the people who went to the West to seek the scriptures, except for Tang Seng and Sun Wukong who were destined to seek the scriptures, the other three were all chosen by her.

Although there were some deals and inside stories involved, no matter what, she was the first one to choose Bajie and Sha Seng to become the pilgrims.

Now that Bajie and Sha Seng have made mistakes, she can only shamelessly make up for it.

We can ignore Bajie and Sha Seng, but we must not let anyone look down on Tang Seng and Wukong.

"It's right for Sanzang to leave. After all, there are priorities. They can't stay in Wuzhuang Temple and wait for Zhen Yuanzi to come back just for Bajie and Monk Sha."

After the Buddha finished speaking, he looked around and the Bodhisattvas and Arhats below all praised and echoed him.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

It can be seen that the Buddha Tathagata has done a perfect job in obedience training over the years. As long as he sets the tone for anything, no one in the main hall dares to sing against it.

at the same time……

In the Heavenly Palace, inside the Lingxiao Palace.

Taibai Jinxing looked at the image transmitted by the Haotian Mirror and chuckled, "Your Majesty, it seems that the person chosen by the Buddhist sect to obtain the scriptures is not a selfless person!"

"There is no such thing as being selfless. As long as everyone is human, there will be greed, anger, and ignorance. Tang Seng thought that he was devoted to Buddhism and that seeking the true scriptures was his life's wish, so he could give up anyone for this. Little did he know that the moment he escaped from Wuzhuang Temple, he was poisoned by anger." The Jade Emperor hit the nail on the head and directly pointed out Tang Seng's current state.

"No one is perfect. Tang Monk had to flee Wuzhuang Temple because of the behavior of Bajie and Sha Seng, so it was understandable that he gave up on them." The Queen Mother gave a very pertinent comment.

"Let's not talk about Tang Monk for now."

The Jade Emperor smiled and changed the subject: "Do you find Wukong strange? He seems to be in control of the situation and doesn't care about anything?"

"Wukong is now only one step away from becoming a quasi-saint, so it's no wonder that he has no interest in other things." In fact, the Queen Mother has always been paying attention to Sun Wukong, and has secretly followed him dozens of times. Every time she sees Sun Wukong, she feels an inexplicable sense of closeness to him.

Fortunately, this feeling is not very strong, otherwise she would suspect that she has fallen in love with someone else.

……

Wuzhuang Temple.

Looking at the ginseng fruit that was one third missing, a cold look flashed in Zhen Yuanzi's eyes. He waved his long sleeves, and the two boys Qingfeng and Mingyue flew backwards, fell heavily to the ground, and spit out blood.

"You two are useless. You can't even take care of the ginseng fruit. What use are you?"

"Master, the boy is incompetent. Please punish him."

Qingfeng and Mingyue lay on the ground, ready to be beaten and scolded by the master, but they were secretly relieved in their hearts. Since the master didn't kill them directly just now, it meant that the master would not kill them again.

I have managed to avoid this hurdle for the time being.

After all, in his rage he only made them spit out some blood, and didn't even hurt their vital parts, which shows that the master still loves them.

After countless years of living together, even the most heartless and cold-hearted person would develop feelings for each other, not to mention that the master was very good to them.

Zhen Yuanzi also knew in his heart that it was inevitable that Tang Seng and his companions would steal ginseng fruits, and only Zhu Bajie stole 12, which was actually considered lucky.

If Sun Wukong also gets involved, maybe the ginseng fruit tree will have to be overturned!

By then, even if he killed Qingfeng Mingyue it would be of no use.

Of course, the ginseng fruit in front of you is not real. The real ginseng fruit was hidden by Zhen Yuanzi. This one is just a branch that was grown.

However, the ginseng fruits on the tree are all real ginseng fruits, which were transplanted there by Zhen Yuanzi with great effort.

Even if the ginseng fruit is pushed over, it doesn’t matter.

What really saddened him was that one third of the fruits were missing, which was almost twice as many as the planned four or five.

"Keep a close eye on Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha, don't let them get away again!"

Zhen Yuanzi's mind moved, and a auspicious cloud rose under his feet, dragging him up into the sky. Almost instantly, he found Cheng Long and Tang Seng. Tang Seng, who had escaped all night, was taking a rest under a tree to recover his strength.

Take one step forward.

Zhen Yuanzi, who was standing above Wuzhuang Temple, suddenly disappeared without a trace.

When he appeared again, he had already arrived above the jungle where Cheng Long and Tang Seng were. The free and easy and ethereal aura of an immortal was so amazing that people could not help but be amazed.

Cheng Long had never seen Zhen Yuanzi before, but he could tell the person's identity from his clothing and demeanor.

"Is the person coming here the Immortal Zhen Yuanzi?"

Cheng Long bowed to Zhen Yuanzi who was hovering above the jungle.

"Yes, it is this Immortal."

Zhen Yuanzi took a light step forward, and soaring above the jungle, he instantly came in front of Cheng Long and Tang Seng.

No condescension, no superiority.

Gives people a very easy-going feeling.

"Greetings to the Immortal Zhen Yuanzi!"

Tang Seng bowed respectfully.

"Great Immortal, are you here for Bajie and Sha Seng?"

It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.

Since Zhen Yuanzi has come to your door, there is no need to pretend to be ignorant.

"Exactly."

Zhen Yuanzi held the whisk in one hand and put the other hand behind his back. He originally wanted to scold Cheng Long and Tang Seng, but when he remembered that they were not the ones who stole the ginseng fruit, he changed his mind temporarily.

"The pig monster and the river monster are your people after all. I have to ask for your opinion."

"Master, do you mean there is something to talk about?"

Tang Seng's face lit up with joy, knowing that his two disciples were saved.
