Chapter 855 Fruit of the Sacred Tree
A lake as flat as a mirror,
The clear lake water reflects the blue sky and white clouds.

In the center of the lake is a small island.

A courtyard the same size as the island was built on top of the island.

The courtyard is very old, and the walls are covered with vines and green plants.

The wooden doors and windows also faded badly and even began to rot.

This courtyard is located in the middle of the lake. There is no direct road leading to the lakeside. There are only two ways to get here - by boat or by flying.

Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie chose to fly over to the dock where the ships were moored in front of the courtyard. One of them put down the White Dragon Horse and the other put down Tang Sanzang.

"Junior brother Sha, this should be a yard that has been abandoned for a long time. It's a good time for Master to go in and have a rest. He has been sick from being exposed to the sun for days." Zhu Bajie said everything for the sake of Tang Xuanzang, but his eyes betrayed his true thoughts.

Zhu Bajie's eyes never left the big tree in the center of the courtyard, on which grew many strange-shaped fruits.

There are fruits in the shape of mythical beasts such as dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, and golden crows.

There are also fruits in the shape of weapons such as knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hatchets, and hooks.

In addition to these, there are also some fruits in the shape of books and bamboo slips.

Zhu Bajie smelled the scent and was very sure that the fruit on the sacred tree in front of him was a good thing.

At this moment, Tang Xuanzang smelled the fragrance and woke up.

He looked around and asked, "Bajie, where is this place?"

Zhu Bajie turned around and saw that Tang Seng had woken up. He did not ignore him and immediately said, "This is an abandoned courtyard with no owner. Let's rest here for a while!"

After hearing this, Tang Seng looked around and said, "Bajie, let's go out! If the owner of this courtyard comes back, we will be regarded as thieves if we enter like this."

Zhu Bajie saw the benefit at this time, so he was not willing to listen to Tang Seng. He said, "Master, look at this plain area. Only here can we get some shade from the sun and avoid the heat. If we continue walking, you will definitely not be able to hold on."

Tang Seng was a little hesitant when he heard this, but he still insisted: "Bajie, even if I am sick from heat stroke, I will never do such a thing as breaking into someone else's room without the owner's consent."

Sha Wujing, who was always taciturn, didn't know what was going on, but he suddenly chimed in, "Master, what Second Brother said makes sense. If you continue to stay out in the sun, you will definitely not be able to hold on. It's good to take a rest here.

And even if you don't care about your own body, you should still think about the great cause of obtaining the scriptures!"

After hearing this, Tang Seng no longer objected.

During the time that Tang Seng and Sha Wujing were talking, Zhu Bajie had already walked to the sacred tree, picked a rake-shaped fruit, and put it into his mouth.

next moment,
He froze in his tracks, his whole body filled with boiling spiritual energy, giving people a feeling that he would go crazy and explode at any moment.

Sha Wujing was nervous for a while, and when he was about to take Tang Seng to escape from the yard, Zhu Bajie woke up.

Zhu Bajie said with great joy: "Junior Brother Sha, these fruits in the shape of weapons are actually a kind of combat skills."

Upon hearing this, Sha Wujing walked to the sacred tree. Not finding any shovel-shaped fruit, he picked a halberd-shaped one and ate it.

In an instant, Sha Wujing comprehended a very advanced halberd technique from those fruits.

Soon after, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing looked at each other and immediately started picking other fruits.

After they ate five or six weapon fruits in succession.

Two human-shaped fruits appeared in the eyes of Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing.

One is a big and strong man with muscular body, exuding a strong murderous aura and Buddhist charm.

The other one is in the form of a naked, charming, and beautiful woman, exuding the fruit of endless erotic temptation.

The two of them tore it off and threw it into their mouths. The next moment,

Their souls were shaken.
Sha Wujing fell into an illusion.

A voice rang in my ears: "I have never done good deeds in my life, I only love killing people and setting fires. Suddenly the golden rope was untied, and the jade lock was broken. The tide in Qiantang River is coming, and today I know who I am."

It was a world full of wars and killings. The whole world gave him a sense of gloom and compromise. He just went with the flow, killing and living in it...

After Zhu Bajie ate the fruit, he was also trapped in the environment.

A sound rang in my ears: "Since the beginning of the universe, who is the lover? All of them are just passionate about love. Taking advantage of this helpless day, sad day, and lonely time, try to get rid of your foolish feelings..."

Zhu Bajie's soul fell into a deep sleep, and he began a strange life involuntarily. He was born into an official family and became a young master of the family. He was called: Master Bao.

When Tang Seng saw that his two disciples had lost consciousness, he immediately went forward and pushed them, but unfortunately they had no consciousness at all and were completely like dead people.

For a moment, Tang Seng was very anxious, thinking that there was something wrong with the fruit on the sacred tree. He subconsciously took a look, and then he was attracted by a fruit. The shape of that fruit was very strange, something he had never seen before.

He himself didn't realize that his hands had picked the fruit and put it into his mouth.

A Zen chant of a scripture sounded in my ears:

Praise to Gatlin Bodhisattva, when he practiced deep Prajnamitta, he held the six pure and peaceful large pipes and transformed them into the supreme holy instruments.

One tube, one sound, the six-syllable mantra, the mantra without equal. The mantra is: Om Mani Padme Hum.

One turn is a life, six turns is a breath.

With a compassionate heart as vast as the ocean, he saves all sentient beings, leads them far away from the Saṃsāra world, eliminates the five aggregates of karma, allows them to escape from the six realms of reincarnation, and escape from the eight sufferings. There is no more suffering, no more accumulation, no more extinction, and no more path, and he goes to the Western Paradise.

The six pipes rotate 360,000 times in one breath, never stopping to save all living beings.

Great is Gatlin Bodhisattva;

Great is Gatlin Bodhisattva.

Gatlin Bodhisattva Mahasattva."

Tang Xuanzang fell into a deep sleep in a daze, and streams of special knowledge and energy entered his body.

···········
Sun Wukong went back to the wilderness looking for water and alms, only to find that his master Tang Seng was missing, along with Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing.

This made Sun Wukong extremely furious. He pulled the golden cudgel out of his ear and slammed it hard on the ground.

This plain land appeared in front of Sun Wukong, and Sun Wukong asked if he had seen his master Tang Seng.

The land god said: "I didn't see where the holy monk went."

Sun Wukong was a little irritable when he heard this, but he suppressed his emotions. Tang Seng had been captured by monsters many times along the way, and he was used to it.

then,

Asked: "Are there any monsters around here?"

The land god thought for a while and said, "Yes, yes, there is a city not far from here, called the City of Life and Death.

There lives a monster called the Chess Saint Wu Zun. "

Sun Wukong heard this and muttered, "Chess City of Life and Death! Chess Saint Wu Zun?"
