Road to science and technology

Facing the monkey's iron rod, Immortal Zhenyuan ducked sideways and stepped on the auspicious clouds into the air.

The six-eared macaque also jumped into the clouds and hurriedly followed, then raised his stick and started beating Zhen Yuanzi randomly.

Zhen Yuanzi waved the fly whisk with his left hand to block it for a few rounds, and then he used a trick in his sleeves. He stretched out his sleeves in the wind, became extremely huge, and snared the six-eared macaque.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the monkey hurriedly made a somersault cloud to escape. The somersault had already been rolled out, but it had already spread to the sleeves. So what was originally a forward somersault turned into a backwards move, turning to the cuffs of Zhen Yuanzi's sleeves.

Immediately afterwards, Zhen Yuanzi repeated his old tricks, and after three strokes, five divisions and two divisions, he collected the remaining Zhu Bajie, Tang Sanzang, Princess Ye, and their mounts into his cuffs.

As soon as Zhu Bajie entered the Qiankun space in his sleeves, he shouted: "No, no, no, no, we've all crashed into the basket."

The six-eared macaque said: "Stupid, it's not in the basket, it's in his sleeves."

Zhu Bajie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said in a relaxed tone: "It turns out it's in the cuff, so it doesn't matter. I'll hammer it in, build a hole for him, and let him wear a tattered robe."

After saying that, he raised the nail palladium and struck it hard like a farmer. However, when the nail palladium hit the place where it was originally standing, it had nowhere to work, causing Zhu Bajie to fall over.

Princess Ye, who was looking upright in the car beside her, chuckled and said, "Don't waste your efforts. This is Zhen Yuanzi's sleeve art. Although this place is within his sleeve, it is its own space."

Not long after, the Zhenyuan Immortal rode the auspicious clouds back to Wuzhuang Temple.

He didn't ask any of his disciples to prepare ropes, but directly threw the group of four people into the courtyard, and then didn't do anything rough.

But before he could open his mouth, he saw the six-eared macaque that had escaped from the trap suddenly rose up on the spot, and the gang attacked him again, and then the six-eared macaque was trapped by Qiankun in his sleeves again.

After a while, Immortal Zhenyuan released it again. This time, the six-eared macaque did not immediately explode because he was a little dizzy by Zhen Yuanzi in Zhen Yuanzi's sleeves.

Now he understands that he is no match for Zhen Yuanzi.

"Why don't you run away?" Zhen Yuanzi looked at the six-eared macaque and asked with a smile.

"I can't run, I can't run. The master is still here, how can I run." The six-eared macaque put away the weapon as he said it, found a stone pier and sat on it, and said with a smile: "You are also wise. Real person, why can't you get along with me for just two fruits?"

These words made Zhen Yuanzi burst into laughter: "Hahaha, then go to the mountains to find two fruits in exchange for me, and I will let you go."

The six-eared macaque also knew what the fruit was, so he asked, "What do you want?"

Zhen Yuanzi, who had been rehearsed for a long time, immediately said: "It's simple, give me two identical ones. You can go find the three realms and find a way. I will only keep your master and Princess Wencheng here, you two Stay or go as you wish.”

"Oh?" Zhu Bajie became excited after hearing this. He said, "I've eaten all the food. If I want to give you two identical ones, is it possible that we can still spit them out?"

Zhen Yuanzi said: "Haha, that's not Pindao's fault. Anyway, you two can leave and come back after you find a way. If you can't find a way, you don't have to come back. But if you don't come back, Your master will spend his whole life in my Wuzhuang Temple."

"Don't worry, I have food and shelter here. I won't starve to death, Master."

As he spoke, Zhen Yuanzi looked at Tang Sanzang and Princess Ye, made an invitation gesture, and said, "Please come in, please."

Tang Sanzang was very anxious when he saw that things had become like this, but there was nothing he could do about it. When he was in Zhen Yuanzi's sleeves, he had asked the six-eared macaque what happened, so he knew what was going on. At that time, he was angry. He also recited a tightening curse.

After seeing Tang Sanzang and Princess Ye entering the temple with Zhen Yuanzi, Zhu Bajie asked the six-eared macaque: "Brother Monkey, what should I do?"

"There's nothing you can do. You're greedy, and now you've caused trouble and come to ask me again." The six-eared macaque thought for a moment and continued: "Guanyin took the lead in the Buddhist scriptures. It seems that we have to go to her."

Zhu Bajie said naively: "Pull her down, even if she comes here, she can still conjure fruits out of thin air? What about Immortal Zhenyuan? Unless I return two fruits to him, otherwise our master will die here. I think we still have to do it." Divide your luggage and go your own way, I'll go back to my Gao Laozhuang and you go back to yours. Uh, Brother Monkey, where do you live?"

“All the heavens and the earth are my home.”

After the six-eared macaque said this sadly, he continued to say with a playful smile: "Idiot, if you don't protect the master from going to the West, you won't get the right result. If you are killed and stewed as a monster someday in Gaolaozhuang, it will be too late to regret it. Besides, think about it, the Bodhisattva is taking the lead in this sutra collection. Now that the master is behind bars, how can she not be in a hurry? Let’s go find her, and she will naturally find a way."

Zhu Bajie thought about it and thought it was true. He quickly praised his elder brother for being smart, and then the two of them rushed to the purple bamboo forest in the South China Sea.

However, the six-eared macaque felt that Zhu Bajie was flying too slowly, so he made a somersault and flew ahead.

Half an hour later, before Zhu Bajie could reach the purple bamboo forest, the six-eared macaque reappeared and scratched his head and said: "The Guanyin Bodhisattva is not here, and her disciple doesn't know where she has gone. It's really worrying." .”

Zhu Bajie stopped his head and scratched his pig head, and said naively: "Is it possible that he went to find her lover? That would be terrible. If I had known this, I might as well have found a place to rest, what a bad luck. "

As he said this, he was about to lower the clouds and find a shady place to sleep. Anyway, Tang Sanzang had food and shelter there and his life was not in danger, so he was not in a hurry.

"Wait, wait!" The six-eared macaque was quite positive. He grabbed Zhu Bajie and said, "Junior brother, Guanyin is not here. We can go find someone to ask. Weren't you from Heaven before? Go Then ask."

"If you want to go, you can go alone. I won't go anyway. This place in Nantianmen is far away. I am too tired to fly."

The six-eared macaque was not willing to let him go. He was not familiar with Heavenly Court, and he didn’t know who to look for when he went there. So he continued to pull Zhu Bajie and said with a smile: "Bajie, you are the Marshal of the Tianhe Navy. If you don’t go, there will be no one left." We can go. Besides, can you bear to let Princess Wencheng suffer there?"

When Zhu Bajie saw the six-eared macaque saying that he was the general marshal of the navy and also mentioned Princess Wencheng, he immediately became elated and said sullenly, "That's right. It doesn't matter who I am, old pig. I think all the 100,000 navy soldiers under my command were there." He is so capable that ordinary immortals would not call him "marshal" when they see him."

The six-eared macaque was speechless. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to get rid of the tight band on his head, he wouldn't be bothered to understand why he wanted to learn the scriptures or not.

After being happy, Zhu Bajie was full of energy and immediately flew towards the heaven with the six-eared macaque.

So in the next few days, the two of them visited all the stars in the heaven, such as Jiuyao Star Official and Twenty-Eight Constellations, but no one could give a good solution.

Two days later, Zhu Bajie visited all the gods he had known before when he was Marshal Tianpeng, but there was still no solution.

The two were helpless.

I just thought that some days had passed and Guanyin might have returned to the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South China Sea. The six-eared macaque proposed to separate. He went to the purple bamboo forest in the South China Sea to find Guanyin, while Zhu Bajie continued to think of a solution in the heaven.

After the six-eared macaque left, Zhu Bajie thought hard and couldn't think of anyone to look for, so he had no choice but to ask to see the Jade Emperor. Perhaps because he had become a pilgrim, the Jade Emperor, who was rarely seen in ordinary times, readily let him into the Lingxiao Palace this time.

As soon as Zhu Bajie entered the Lingxiao Hall, he looked overjoyed, because there were basically all the famous gods in the hall, some he knew and others he didn't know, so he didn't have to visit them one by one.

However, as soon as he told the story, the gods became silent. They wanted to conjure two ginseng fruits. How could they have such ability? Even the Jade Emperor said there was nothing they could do.

When Zhu Bajie was disappointed, the Jade Emperor said, "Did Immortal Zhenyuan personally say that he would not be able to do anything other than paying for two ginseng fruits?"

Zhu Bajie said angrily: "Yes, that ginseng fruit is only available in Wuzhuang Guan. Isn't this Zhenyuan Immortal clearly trying to make things difficult for us? He also said that if he doesn't accompany us, then my master will live in Wuzhuang Guan for the rest of his life."

When the gods heard this, they all laughed.

It's not that I'm laughing at Zhu Bajie, but I'm laughing at the interesting way Zhenyuan Great Immortal makes things difficult for people seeking scriptures.

The Jade Emperor stopped laughing and said, "Interesting, interesting. I have an idea."

"Your Majesty, please tell me that I, Old Zhu, am very grateful for saving Master." Zhu Bajie said quickly.

The Jade Emperor nodded noncommittally and said slowly: "I think that although the ginseng fruit is not an ordinary product, it is still far inferior to the flat peaches in the flat peach garden. Otherwise, you can go back and talk to the Immortal Zhenyuan, just say Give him a flat peach that ripens once in six thousand years, and if he agrees, I will give you a flat peach that ripens in six thousand years, how about that?"

In terms of efficacy, the ginseng fruit is indeed not as good as the flat peach. After all, one can live to be 47,000 years old by eating one ginseng fruit, while eating a flat peach that ripens only once in six thousand years will make you immortal, and eating one that ripens only in nine thousand years will make you immortal. He will live as long as heaven and earth.

The Jade Emperor said this because he was completely sure that Zhen Yuanzi would not agree, but if he agreed, he would not be at a loss, because this was a disaster that he had helped to prepare for, and the more luck he had, the better.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty. I'll go right away. I'll go right now." Zhu Bajie saluted, then immediately turned around and left the Nantianmen, flying towards Wuzhuang Temple.
