Zhenyuanzi immediately ordered people to set up an incense table and clean the back garden. He asked Guanyin Bodhisattva to leave first. Tang Sanzang and his disciples and the immortals of Wuzhuang Taoist Temple went to the ginseng orchard to watch. They saw that the tree had fallen to the ground. The ground had cracked open and the roots were exposed. The leaves had fallen and the branches had all withered.
"Wukong, give me your hand," Guan Yin Bodhisattva called.”
Wukong stretched out his left hand. The Bodhisattva dipped the willow branch into the nectar in the clean bottle and drew a talisman of resurrection on Wukong's palm. He asked Wukong to put it under the root of the tree and see how much water came out.
"Little Daoists," said Wukong,"hurry up and fetch the jade ladle.”
" I don't have a jade ladle in this barren mountain," Zhenyuanzi said." I only have jade teacups and cups. Can they be used?"”
Bodhisattva said," As long as it's jade, it's fine even if it can be scooped with water. Go get it."”
Zhenyuanzi immediately asked the little boy to take out twenty to thirty teacups and forty to fifty wine cups to scoop out the spring.
Wukong, Bajie, and Friar Sand carried the Ginseng Fruit Tree, straightened it, buried it in the ground, and gave all the spring water in the jade to Bodhisattva.
The Bodhisattva sprinkled the willow branches on the ground and chanted a mantra.
It turned out that those fruits were with Wukong. Wukong took out fifteen and said,""That day, when I was pushing the tree, I kept all these. However, on the way to the South Sea, I was thirsty and ate four of them. The remaining fifteen are all here.”
Of course, he didn't eat the other three. He gave them to Chang'e and put them away. The fifteen Ginseng Fruits flew away and grew on the fruit tree.
At this time, Ming Yue and Qing Feng said,"There were originally 30 on this tree.| When the two brothers picked them, six of them disappeared. They took two to Master Tang. Then, they picked three, leaving nineteen. The Great Sage ate four, and now there were fifteen.”
The great immortal Zhenyuan saw that the ginseng fruit tree had lived very long| Happy, he quickly called for someone to bring out a golden hammer and knocked out seven ginseng fruits. He invited Bodhisattva and the others to return to the temple. Firstly, he wanted to thank Guan Yin Bodhisattva for saving the ginseng fruit tree. Secondly, he wanted to hold a ginseng fruit gathering.
The immortals then moved the tables and chairs, laid out the pill plate, and invited Bodhisattva to sit on the main seat, Tang Sanzang to sit on the left seat, and Wukong Third Brother to sit on the left seat.| The younger brother sat on the right side of the table, and Zhenyuanzi accompanied him at the front. They each ate one.
"Hehe!" Wukong snickered. I am smart, haha! I've already eaten three Ginseng Fruits and I've even hidden a few. I really didn't expect that I could get so many Ginseng Fruits alone. I'll have plenty to eat in the future.”
Now that Guan Yin Bodhisattva had eaten one, Tang Sanzang finally knew that it was an immortal treasure. "Bajie," he said to Zhu Bajie,"why are you so stubborn? He's still so greedy after becoming a monk. Look at Wukong. Five hundred years ago, stealing was his old profession. Look at him now. He doesn't do anything. He can change from a person who likes to steal to a clean person. Why can't you change? No wonder you can't be the Eldest Brother? If you continue to be like this, I will call you Little Junior Brother and you will carry the luggage and lead the horse every day.”
After saying that, he bid farewell to Zhen Yuan Zi and the others and went back.
After bowing to heaven and earth (of course, it wasn't like a married couple bowing to heaven and earth), the two of them entered the banquet together.
Wukong and the others stayed for a few more days under Zhenyuanzi's repeated persuasion. On the sixth day, Wukong bid farewell to Zhenyuanzi and left Wuzhuang Taoist Temple with Tang Sanzang and the other two to the west.
"Disciples," Tang Sanzang said,"the mountain ahead is steep. I'm afraid the horse riders can't go forward. Everyone, be careful."”
"Don't worry, I have my ways," said Wukong.”As he spoke, he took out the Jingu Staff and cut open the mountain path, forcefully opening up a path to the heavens.
After walking for a while, Tang Sanzang said," Wukong, we've been walking for a whole day. I'm hungry too. Go and make some vegetarian food before we continue our journey."”
Wukong said," Master, this place is so far away from the village. Even if I have money, I have nowhere to buy it. Where do you want me to go?"”
