0432. Ginseng Fruit

"Go in and take a look before we talk."

Mingyue couldn't bear it.

Yuan Hou walked over and opened the door.

He practices the Eight-nine Mysterious Skills, which can be said to have divine power. He can move mountains. His physical strength is second only to Li Mu. But when he put his hands on the door knocker, no matter how hard he exerted force, the door leaf did not move at all. Even with all my strength, I couldn't push the door open.

"No, this door is sealed by Taoism." Yuan Ho shook his head, he couldn't push it away.

"Ah? Brother Monkey, can you do it?" Mingyue said with a smile, "Let me try."

She put her slender hand on the door.

Not sure if they were dazzled, but everyone felt that when Mingyue's white and tender hands touched the gate of Wuzhuang Temple, there were faint ripples of brilliance that flashed away.

Squeak!

The door opened automatically.

"What?" Yuan Ho's eyes almost exploded.

Mingyue was happy at that time, and turned back triumphantly to show off: "Brother Monkey, you can't do it. I pushed it gently and the door opened."

The breeze is thoughtful.

The four people entered through the gate. The front yard of the manor was neatly decorated with brick and tile buildings. They were quite old. Along the way, there were vegetable gardens, orchards, and grain fields. They were all neat and orderly. Dozens of wells were located in the fields. The land is full of life.

"This is a Taoist temple. It must have been very prosperous at one time."

Qingfeng watched and made a judgment in his heart.

The buildings in the manor coincide with the mysteries of Feng Shui. Even a well or a tile-roofed house has the special meaning of existing on the same place. Qingfeng felt that his whole person was immersed in some mysterious energy when he took a look at it. .

"Why do you think this place seems familiar?" Mingyue looked at the interior of the manor strangely and said, "Brother Qingfeng, do you feel it?"

Qingfeng nodded: "It seems like I have been here before in a dream."

Mingyue said in surprise: "Yes, yes, I also feel like I have dreamed of some of the scenery here. This is really weird."

Yuan Hou didn't speak.

But there was also a faint sense of intimacy in his heart. The style and layout of the surrounding buildings made him very comfortable.

Wang Shiyu didn't notice that much.

She has been recalling the description of Wuzhuang Temple in the old version of Journey to the West that she had seen, hoping to corroborate it with the manor in front of her and find the location of the ginseng fruit trees.

The four of them walked along the way and saw the quiet room, alchemy room, Zen room, etc. in the manor. The layout was quiet, without any dust, spider webs and other debris. It seemed that someone was cleaning the manor every day.

But along the way, I didn't meet anyone.

The bookshelves in some alchemy rooms and meditation rooms are empty.

The entire Wuzhuang Temple was completely empty, with no people or objects in sight, only empty houses.

There are probably hundreds of Taoist rooms in each layer.

The Taoist hall in the center is quite grand, with seven floors. On the screen wall of the main hall, there are two big characters "Heaven and Earth" in dim writing. They are used to worship incense, but there is an empty incense burner, but no incense is lit. Inside the incense burner, There is half a furnace of white incense ash, which has a slight fragrance.

Qingfeng sat in the wheelchair and observed for a moment. Then he thought about it and said to Mingyue: "Take this incense burner, and don't throw away the ashes in it. I think it might be useful."

The bright moon jumped over, picked up the incense burner, and observed it carefully.

This is a double-eared and three-legged incense burner made of bronze. It lasts for a long time, has a color like gold, and does not have any oxidized green scale. The shape is simple and beautiful. There are inscriptions on the body of the burner. The origin is unknown. It is heavy and weighs hundreds of kilograms.

"Let's go." Qingfeng looked over and saw that there was nothing else in the hall.

Wang Shiyu stood in a daze and looked at the two words "Heaven and Earth" on the screen wall, and couldn't help but feel extremely excited, because in the novel Journey to the West, it was written that in the Wuzhuang Temple of Zhen Yuanzi, the two words "Heaven and Earth" were worshiped. The little boy once said that apart from these two words, no one else could be worthy of being worshiped as their master.

At this time, she was certain that this manor was definitely the Wuzhuang Temple of Immortal Zhenyuan.

So, where is the fruit tree of life?

The four of them walked out of the hall and walked toward the backyard.

After a while, we came to the outside of an orchard. Through the wall, we could feel the strange fragrance, and the vitality like invisible waves, through the wall, there were layers of green.

Open the door and go in.

A giant tree dozens of meters high appeared in front of the four people.

This giant tree is extremely lush, with thick branches. The main trunk is as thick as ten people can hug each other. It is divided into different branches. The bark is a rough white color with a strong sense of age. There are only branches seven or eight meters above the ground. , there are no leaves, and eight meters up, there are only sparse leaves on the branches.

Each leaf is about the size of a palm. It is like the best jade carving in the world, exuding green brilliance, slightly undulating, radiant and extremely beautiful.

At the top of the giant tree, there are four pink fruits.

When Mingyue saw it, she was immediately shocked. She jumped back a few steps and said, "Oh my God, no, there are several dolls hanging on the tree. Could this tree be a demon tree? It can eat little dolls?" "

Yuan Hong was also shocked, and quickly pulled the wheelchair and took a few steps back.

Each of those pink dolls is alive, like a newborn baby, with a smile on their face. They are connected to their backs by a branch, trembling on the branch, and they look like they are It was pierced through the back by a branch, and it was like hanging on the branch.

"No, that's a fruit, not a doll." Qingfeng said with the calmest mind, "It grows on a tree. This is really strange. Why does the fruit of this tree look like a baby?"

At this time, Wang Shiyu was already walking towards the giant tree step by step.

There was shock, excitement and a dreamy smile on her face, and she was extremely intoxicated.

"Sister, be careful, this demon tree..." Mingyue reminded quickly, trying to pull her back.

Wang Shiyu turned around, laughed, and said: "This is not a demon tree. This is the ginseng fruit tree, the most precious treasure between heaven and earth... It turns out that everything in the legend is true, and everything in Journey to the West is also true. real."

Her tone was trembling.

"Ginseng fruit tree? Sister, do you know the origin of this tree?" Mingyue said in surprise.

Wang Shiyu nodded and said: "The Fruit of Life Tree, the most precious sacred tree on the ground, is called the spiritual root of heaven and earth. How can it be a demon tree?"

"Ginseng fruit tree?" Qingfeng's eyes lit up and asked: "The princess knows the origin of this tree?" If you know the name, then you are likely to know the origin.

Wang Shiyu nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, this Wuzhuang Temple once lived with a great man, the Great Immortal Zhenyuan, who was known as the ancestor of the Earth Immortals. This tree was his treasure. It bloomed once every three thousand years and bloomed once every three thousand years." As a result, it will take another three thousand years to mature. In ten thousand years, only thirty-six fruits can be produced. It is a treasure that only earthly immortals and gods are qualified to eat. This kind of fruit is so magical that even a mortal can only smell it. If you smell it, you can live 360 ​​years; if you eat one, you can live 47,000 years. Do you think it is precious or not?"

The other three were dumbfounded.

They had never heard of this sacred tree or fruit.

Is there such a precious thing between heaven and earth?

Even a strong person in the Broken Realm cannot live forty-seven thousand years.

The longer the life span, the longer you live, it represents infinite hope. Immortality has been the dream of every martial arts master, even gods and demons, since ancient times. Forty-seven thousand years is almost the same as immortality.

Mingyue swallowed her saliva and said, "This looks delicious."

"How did the princess know such a secret?" Qingfeng asked curiously.

Wang Shiyu doesn't know how to practice or martial arts, so he probably can't see the magic of this tree. Even the entire Northern Song Dynasty royal family probably wouldn't record these things in their secret collection of books.

"If Brother Mu were here, he would also recognize it." Wang Shiyu did not explain in too much detail, and said: "Look, there are four ginseng fruits on this tree. They are bright in color and emit a strange fragrance, which means that the fruits are ripe. , the fact that the four of us are here today means that this is an opportunity for the four of us."

The dream of immortality is just around the corner.

"It's a pity that the young master is not here." Mingyue murmured.

Qingfeng smiled and said, "I'll leave the one of mine to the young master."

Yuan Hong's throat twitched and he swallowed. His mouth felt dry for a while, but he still said: "It's still the villain's one, leave it to the master."

Mingyue said: "You two, you haven't picked the fruit yet, so you have to be humble. No need, I will leave mine for the young master. Anyway, I am already very strong now, hehe..."

Wang Shiyu was surprised.

Faced with such temptation, she was really moved by how these two children and a monkey were able to overcome their greed.

Yuan Hou used his physical skills, jumped up to the treetop, and raised his hand to pick the fruit.

But something strange happened.

Yuan Hong's palm could clearly reach the ginseng fruit, but he couldn't catch it. It was as if the fruit was a shadow, not a real thing. Yuan Hong tried dozens of times in a row, but he couldn't pick the fruit at all.

"What's going on? Is it a phantom formation?" Yuan Ho jumped down from the treetop, feeling extremely strange.

Mingyue and Qingfeng are also confused.

"Ah, I understand, wait for me." Wang Shiyu suddenly understood, turned around and ran out of the orchard, seemingly looking for something.

After a while, she ran back excitedly.

"Use this to knock the fruit down." She held a small red gold stick in her hand, about two inches long, with one end like a garlic bump and a small eye on the other end, tied with a red rope, and said: "When the ginseng fruit meets Wood dries up, melts when exposed to water, burns when exposed to fire, enters when exposed to earth, and falls when exposed to metal. You must use this [gold striker] to knock it down from the tree."

Gold hammer?

Only then did Qingfeng and the other three people realize that Wang Shiyu had just gone to look for this [Golden Striker].

But, how does she know so much?

Yuan Hou took the golden hammer, jumped up and counted, and tapped it lightly with the [Golden Hammer]. The ginseng fruit fell down as if it was ripe. His subordinate Ming Yue quickly carried his clothes to hold it.

Soon, all four fruit fruits fell down.

"This human fruit cannot be preserved for a long time and must be eaten as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will dissolve between heaven and earth and be a waste of nature." Wang Shiyu said.

"Huh?" The three of them were a little confused.

In this case, wouldn't it be impossible to leave it to Li Mu?

Wang Shiyu added: "Everyone has his own destiny when entering the tomb of the gods. Maybe Brother Mu has other better opportunities. This kind of thing cannot be forced."

Mingyue lowered her head and looked at the four fruits in her pocket. Sure enough, she found that the fruits were slightly red, as if they were ripe. In a while, they would be ripe.

The four people discussed it and finally had no choice but to share one piece each.

Mingyue, Qingfeng and Yuan Hou also looked a little excited. Such a magical fruit is the most precious treasure in the world. If you eat one, you can live forever. What kind of opportunity is this? There is no way not to be excited.

Wang Shiyu was holding a life fruit in her hand, and she was very excited in her heart. Just like in a dream, the legend came into reality. When she was a child, she watched Journey to the West in the TV series every day, and when she saw the life fruit, she didn’t expect that she actually had something like this. It could really happen. Eat the fruit of life.

After eating this fruit, you can break the shackles of your innate body and start practicing, right? You can stand side by side with Brother Mu, you can join hands together, and travel around the world, and you will no longer be a burden to him.

With the best and purest wishes, she opened her mouth and bit into the ginseng fruit in her hand...

However, at this moment, something strange happened.

The ginseng fruit in her hand suddenly seemed to be alive. She struggled with her hands and feet, and suddenly kicked Wang Shiyu's wrist, and then broke away...
