Seeing the land disappear, Sun Wukong chuckled, never expecting so much fuss over ginseng fruit!
He threw out the golden rod, and this time Sun Wukong caught it directly with his clothes. He snatched four fruits and fled!
At this moment, on one side of the guest room, even the White Dragon Horse had transformed into a human and was waiting. There was no other way, that was ginseng fruit, something he was not qualified to partake in!
To think that following the pilgrimage would bring such benefits!
When Sun Wukong returned, Zhu Bajie was the first to greet him. Seeing the ginseng fruit in Sun Wukong's embrace, he was overjoyed. Indeed, it had to be you, Monkey!
Each of the four men got one. Zhu Bajie, in particular, ate his in one gulp. The ginseng fruit went down, and though he couldn't taste it, his pores opened up, and he felt refreshed!
Seeing the other three carefully savoring theirs, Zhu Bajie's mouth watered. He chuckled, "Brother Monkey, I ate too quickly earlier and didn't get the taste. Could you let me have a bite?"
"Idiot, scram!" Sun Wukong rolled his eyes. If a pig like you gnawed on it, how could I still eat it?
After the four of them finished eating, Sun Wukong flicked his hand and threw the golden rod out, which landed directly on the ground over there. Unfortunately, the commotion was a bit too loud, and the young attendant woke up. Seeing the golden rod lying on the ground, he quickly ran to the backyard!
After counting, the young attendant was furious!
One must know that these ginseng fruits were extremely precious, and now five were missing. This was the dojo of the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, who would dare to steal here? They must be tired of living!
It must be those from the Tang Monk's pilgrimage who stole them!
So the young attendant went to reason with Tang Monk!
Tang Monk was also vexed. You entertained me, and I didn't eat anything, so how could I have stolen something?
However, thinking of his disciples, Tang Monk felt a little guilty. There was no help for it, his disciples were bold enough to defy heaven. Sun Wukong had wreaked havoc in heaven hundreds of years ago. So he said, "Young immortal, do not be anxious. I will summon my disciples to question them!"
So Sun Wukong and the others came in and saw the furious young attendant, knowing that trouble had occurred!
It was just that they had only eaten four, and this young attendant insisted they had stolen five. How could Sun Wukong endure such humiliation? Moreover, he had forgotten that the first ginseng fruit had fallen to the ground and was lost!
During the subsequent verbal exchange, Sun Wukong directly sent out his primordial spirit, pushed down the fruit tree, and used his Daoist magic to put the young attendant to sleep. Only then did he leave with Tang Monk and the others!
On Fangzhang Island, Zhen Yuanzi said, "Alright, this monkey did indeed dare to push down the fruit tree. Fortunately, I had a backup plan, otherwise, wouldn't I have suffered a loss for nothing? The people of Buddhism are indeed unreliable!"
Hong Yun chuckled and said, "Are you leaving now?"
Zhen Yuanzi nodded. He had no choice but to leave. He had to teach that monkey a lesson!
Afterward, Zhen Yuanzi flew back to Wuzhuang Temple!
He released the spells on Qingfeng and Mingyue!
When the two young attendants woke up, they immediately complained to Zhen Yuanzi!
Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand and said, "I already know about the matter!"
He then went to the backyard and indeed found that the manifestation of his ginseng fruit tree had been pushed down!
Qingfeng and Mingyue glanced at it and were immediately terrified. This monkey had gone mad. Stealing a fruit was one thing, but destroying the ginseng fruit tree? This was courting death!
"Master, it must have been that monkey. They haven't gone far, Master!" Qingfeng immediately said. This monkey truly deserved to die for pushing down their Wuzhuang Temple's ginseng fruit tree. This time, even Buddhism couldn't protect him! I, Qingfeng, say this, and no one can refute it!
Zhen Yuanzi said nothing, then leaped into the air and flew in the direction the monkey and the others had left!
Although Tang Monk had the Dragon Horse, he was still mortal and could not travel for extended periods. Sun Wukong felt that they had not gone far and should be fine!
As for pushing down the fruit tree, heh, Sun Wukong had already wreaked havoc in heaven, so what was a small fruit tree? He pushed it down, what could you do?
"Bold!" At this moment, a buzzing sound exploded in their ears, shaking them so much that they almost staggered. This was clearly Zhen Yuanzi controlling the force; otherwise, Tang Monk might have been shaken to death!
"Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi!" Zhu Bajie shivered. It couldn't be, could it? They only stole a few fruits, and he had to chase after them!
Zhen Yuanzi glanced at Zhu Bajie and waved his large sleeve. The technique of "Sleeve of the Universe" was immediately unleashed, and he captured Sun Wukong and the others, returning them to Wuzhuang Temple!
In the square of Wuzhuang Temple, Tang Monk and the others were bound. Zhen Yuanzi snorted, "You stole a few fruits, fine. Why did you push down my fruit tree?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. He then looked at the monkey incredulously. Damn it, you're a troublemaking demon! It's okay for us to steal a few fruits, but you actually pushed down their supreme innate spiritual root. You, damn it, there are better ways to court death than this! This time, even Buddhism can't protect us!
That's right, no matter how powerful Buddhism was now, Zhen Yuanzi was even more formidable. He wasn't called the Ancestor of Earth Immortals for nothing. The key was that he possessed the Earth Book, and even if all the Buddhist masters gathered, they could only eat dust outside!
"It's over, we're finished!" Zhu Bajie sighed inwardly. There was no helping it, was there? That was a spiritual root that had existed since the creation of heaven and earth, something that would bankrupt them all if they were sold!
Tang Monk immediately said, "Immortal Elder, is there a misunderstanding? My disciples are disobedient and stole a few fruits, but pushing down the fruit tree is absolutely not true!"
That's right, that's what Tang Monk thought. He was present at the time, and Wukong had never left. It definitely wasn't them who did it!
Zhen Yuanzi ignored Tang Monk and looked at Sun Wukong, saying, "Brazen monkey, have I spoken incorrectly?"
Sun Wukong was also tough and said directly, "That's right, I pushed down the fruit tree. Who told your young attendant to falsely accuse me? When has I, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, ever suffered such humiliation?"
Zhen Yuanzi nodded and said to Tang Monk, "It is said that if a child is not taught, it is the father's fault. If teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy. You are incompetent in disciplining your disciples, so I will whip you a few times. Are you satisfied?"
As he spoke, Zhen Yuanzi produced a whip, which even flashed with a treasure's radiance. It was the Seven-Star Whip! A middle-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!
Tang Monk nodded. He accepted this guilt!
When Sun Wukong saw Zhen Yuanzi preparing to whip Tang Monk, he immediately said, "Great Immortal, a man does what he does. Why do you wrongly accuse others? If you want to whip someone, whip me!"
Zhen Yuanzi sneered. At this moment, Sun Wukong had already performed the method of primordial spirit leaving his body and fled, swapping him with the stone lion at the entrance!
"Good, since you said so, then you will receive these few whips along with your master!" Zhen Yuanzi said!
Sun Wukong repeatedly agreed, preparing to watch the show from the air. Zhen Yuanzi flicked his whip, and a sound like a dragon's roar echoed. A golden light streaked across, directly striking Sun Wukong down from the air! At this moment, Sun Wukong looked at Zhen Yuanzi with a completely bewildered expression. Was he this powerful!
