Qingfeng Mingyue nodded and went down to pick the ginseng fruit.
Zhenwu Great Emperor smiled." The news of Master Sanzang's journey to the west has spread throughout the Heavenly Palace. It's a blessing to have the opportunity to see him today!"”
Tang Sanzang felt that Zhenwu Great Emperor was implying something, but he couldn't figure it out. He returned the greeting and said,""It's my honor to meet Brother Zhenwu today.”He had heard of Zhenwu Great Emperor's reputation in his previous life. Back then, he had gone to Wudang Mountain to play. The deeds of Zhenwu Great Emperor could be said to be thunderous. However, he had actually met a legendary figure in front of him and even called him brother. He felt strange in his heart.
The three of them came to the living room and chatted for a while. Only then did they know that Zhenwu Great Emperor and Zhen Yuan Immortal were both outstanding Earthly Immortals. Their supernatural power was not much inferior to Zhen Yuan Immortal. Great Immortal Zhenyuan and Great Emperor Zhenwu were going to the Primordial Heavenly Venerate's banquet together, so they invited him back to taste the ginseng fruit.
"Master, bad news!" Brightmoon, who had been out for a while, ran back in panic.
Great Immortal Zhen Yuan frowned and asked,""Ming Yue, what are you shouting for! What happened?"
"Master, someone stole the Ginseng Fruit!" Ming Yue said anxiously.”
Great Immortal Zhen Yuan stood up and asked,""What is it? How do you do things!"
Ming Yue glanced at Tang Sanzang and his disciples and reported,""Master, I suspect that the person who stole the ginseng fruit is among us!”
"Presumptuous, Ming Yue, everyone here is your senior. How can you be so rude and frame me!”Grand Immortal Zhen Yuan rebuked angrily.
"Shizun, Shixiong and I have asked about the land in the courtyard. The land said that yesterday afternoon, that furry monkey went to the ginseng fruit tree garden and stole a few fruits." Shixiong was currently counting the number of lost Ginseng Fruits and would report back in a while.”
Tang Sanzang and his disciples had been exposed and lost face. Tang Sanzang didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he stood up and said,""Great Immortal Zhen Yuan, I have something to say.”He was just about to apologize to Great Immortal Zhen Yuan and believe that he would not be too entangled. After all, although the five ginseng fruits were precious, they were not to the point of being hostile.
However, at this time, Qing Feng came in with a short old man. As soon as he saw Tang Sanzang and his disciple, Qing Feng called out,"Master, you kindly asked us to entertain these monks. I didn't neglect them and also gave two ginseng fruits to Elder Tang according to your instructions. I didn't expect them to steal them!”
Seeing the embarrassed faces of Tang Sanzang and his disciples, Great Immortal Zhenyuan coughed dryly and asked," Qingfeng, do you have any evidence?"
Qingfeng pulled the old man beside him and said,""Master, this is the land in the courtyard. He said that at the end of yesterday afternoon, the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, took our Golden Striker and went to the courtyard. He cut a few fruits before leaving. I counted just now. Other than Master eating one himself, Fairy Qingniao and Fairy Lingru picked two fruits for the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, there are only 20 fruits left on the whole tree. In other words, in addition to the two fruits for Elder Tang, they also stole five ginseng fruits. Master, the Ginseng Fruit only bears 30 fruits in 9000 years, and the four of them ate seven. They're too greedy. They even said that they're some eminent monk!”
Tang Sanzang originally wanted to bear with it, after all, he was in the wrong first. However, when he heard Qingfeng say that he had lost five ginseng fruits, his heart moved. He remembered the whispers of the two Taoist children yesterday and had a plan in his heart.
He sneered and said," Great Immortal Zhen Yuan, I saw that my three disciples had a hard journey. It was too stingy of me to eat the ginseng fruit alone. I did ask my eldest disciple Sun Wukong to pick a few fruits and share them with me. This matter was not approved by the main family. It was indeed wrong. We admit our mistakes. However, if someone wanted to fish in troubled waters, it would not be so easy! Wukong, how many Ginseng Fruits did you pick yesterday?”
Sun Wukong immediately stood up and said," Master, I only plucked three Ginseng Fruits. Second Junior Brother and Third Junior Brother each took one. How can there be five?" Presumably, Old Man Zhenyuan's two disciples had secretly eaten two of them and wanted to take the opportunity to frame others!”Sun Wukong knew what Tang Sanzang was thinking, so he directly pointed out that Qingfeng and Mingyue had also eaten the Ginseng Fruit. At this time, they lied about the number in order to avoid responsibility.
"Qingfeng Mingyue, is what Elder Sanzang and the Great Sage said true?" asked the Great Immortal Zhen Yuan coldly. Losing a few fruits isn't a big deal, but if you lie to escape, then you'll be deceiving your master. Don't even think about staying in Longevity Mountain anymore. Do you still remember what your master usually taught you?”
Qingfeng Mingyue's face turned red from anger. He stared at Sun Wukong and said,""You monkey, how dare you slander us. We've never eaten anything ourselves.”
"Then who was it who whispered at the door yesterday?" Tang Sanzang said lightly. Rather than giving it to those ugly monks, it would be better to give it to us.”
Qing Feng and Ming Yue's face instantly turned from red to pale. They had indeed said this before. If their master investigated, they would not dare to deny it. Ming Yue was so panicked that she could not speak. She only pointed at Tang Sanzang and said,"You…You…"
"Mingyue! Who allowed you to be so rude!" Great Immortal Zhen Yuan sounded very displeased.
Ming Yue immediately kept quiet out of fear and did not dare to speak. If her master was angry, she was afraid that she would be in trouble.
Grand Deity Zhen Yuan asked the short old man,""Earth, how many ginseng fruits did the Great Sage pluck yesterday? Tell me truthfully!”
The Earth Deity was just a low-grade immortal. He replied in fear,"Yesterday, I saw the Great Sage bring the golden hammer to the courtyard. It seemed that he only picked three ginseng fruits. But this morning, when Qingfeng and Mingyue went to count, there were indeed five less. Great Immortal Zhen Yuan, please investigate!"
Great Immortal Zhen Yuan frowned slightly. In that case, what Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong said was the truth. Could it be that his disciple really stole it?
"Come here, you two!" he shouted at Qingfeng and Mingyue.”
Qing Feng and Ming Yue trembled as they walked to Great Immortal Zhen Yuan with an innocent expression.
"Give me your hand!" Great Immortal Zhen Yuan ordered.
"Master!" Seeing the serious look in Grand Deity Zhenyuan's eyes, Qingfeng Mingyue did not dare to disobey and obediently extended his hand.
Great Immortal Zhen Yuan placed his hand on their pulse and frowned. After a while, he sighed and said to the two,"You can leave!"
Qingfeng Mingyue did not dare to disobey and walked out of the hall.
Great Immortal Zhen Yuan suddenly said to Tang Sanzang,""Fellow Daoist Zhen Wu, Master Sanzang, please follow me!”After saying that, he led the two of them to a secret small room. Looking at the layout of the surroundings, it should be a place for important matters.
Zhenwu Great Emperor was obviously not here for the first time. He found a place to sit down. After Zhen Yuan and Tang Sanzang were seated, Zhenwu Great Emperor spoke first."Zhenyuanzi, did you find something wrong?”
"I've just checked Qingfeng and Mingyue's Inner Knowledge. They've never eaten the Ginseng Fruit." However, the earth would not lie, which meant that two ginseng fruits had disappeared. This Penniless Priest felt that something was unusual and wanted to ask the two of you for advice.”
