Chapter 45 [World Seed, Bodhi Resurrection! ]
Chapter 45 [World Seed, Bodhi Resurrection! ]
It is said that every leaf of this world tree can turn into a world.
At this moment, it is just a seed, so naturally it is not so magical. Once it takes root and sprouts, it will be able to restore the power of the World Tree.
No wonder this seed can take root in the virtual world in the Daoyan Mirror, it turns out to be the World Tree!
When it truly grows up, every virtual world here will probably become a real world.
By then, I wonder if the people inside will really reappear in the world.
After all, this world is real. Could it be that the people in it are fake?
After learning the secret of the World Tree Seed, Lin Xun felt a little excited and a little nervous.
What is exciting is that if the people in the mirror world were to be resurrected and could help him practice, how much benefit would that bring.
What worries me is that if the people in the mirror knew that Lin Xun had imprisoned them in the virtual world and was performing Taoist magic day and night to solve their doubts, would he be crushed to ashes?
Especially, there is a good master here whom he had slandered.
Fortunately, these things are still far away. After all, the seeds of the World Tree have just been planted, and it will take a long time for it to sprout and grow leaves.
Just as Lin Xun was thinking, a voice suddenly came, "Little King, this is the monkey wine we brewed ourselves for you to try!"
As he spoke, the old monkey raised up large jars of wine and handed them to Lin Xun as if he was presenting treasures.
Behind him, there were a group of monkeys, each holding fresh fruits.
There are grapes, papayas, bananas, peaches, plums, etc. There are fruits from all different seasons.
It seems that this Flower-Fruit Mountain is indeed not an ordinary place. Fruits can grow at the same time all year round, proving that the climate here is very good and all things can adapt to it.
Come to think of it, how can you not adapt to it?
With such rich spiritual energy from heaven and earth, all trees can mature, and the fruits they grow are more delicious than those outside.
According to legend, this monkey wine is made by the most agile and clever monkeys on the Flower and Fruit Mountain, who carefully collect wild fruits from the mountains.
It is then mixed with clear spring water from the mountains and sealed in deep caves, where it is naturally fermented over the years.
Lin Xun had been curious about monkey wine for a long time, so he wasn't polite.
He thanked him and took the jar of wine. A faint aroma of wine and wood filled his nose.
This monkey wine is crystal clear in color, just like amber swaying gently in the morning dew light.
Lin Xun picked up the jar and started drinking. This monkey wine tasted sweet and mellow at first, with a long aftertaste.
As the fruit wine entered my stomach, a surge of energy emerged, as if I had taken some precious medicine.
Seeing this, Lin Xun hurriedly practiced his skills to refine the wine. After a while, he found that his own magic power had actually increased. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "Good wine! Good wine!"
This monkey wine is truly extraordinary. If you drink more, the effect will be even greater than that of the Spirit Root Creation Fruit.
Little did he know that the wine given by the old monkey was a fine wine that was hundreds of years old, so the effect was naturally extraordinary.
The old monkey saw that Lin Xun was drinking happily and said with a smile, "Hey, since the little king likes it, why not drink more."
Lin Xun laughed out loud when he heard that, and then drank happily with the monkeys in the Water Curtain Cave.
Afterwards, he learned from the monkeys about what happened to them after Sun Wukong left, as well as their situation in recent years.
It turned out that ever since Sun Wukong was captured, Erlang Shen had set fire to the mountain, causing countless deaths and injuries to the monkeys.
Some of them fled from the Flower-Fruit Mountain, but some monkeys were reluctant to leave their old homeland. After the fire was put out, they saw the heavenly soldiers and generals leaving and returned.
Originally the monkeys were terrified, fearing that the people from Heaven would make a surprise attack, but unexpectedly nothing happened.
During the conversation, Lin Xun also learned the identity of the old monkey. He was one of the red-butted horse monkeys who followed Sun Wukong closely, named Marshal Ma. In the Flower and Fruit Mountain, in addition to Sun Wukong, there are four great warriors, namely Ma, Liu, Beng, and Ba.
The four-member group consists of two red-butted horse monkeys and two gibbon monkeys, but they do not possess innate magical powers.
This red-butt horse monkey knows yin and yang, understands human affairs, is good at going in and out, and avoids death and prolongs life.
Although he had not awakened his supernatural powers, perhaps he instinctively felt that there was no danger on the Flower-Fruit Mountain, so he returned.
As for the monkeys who escaped, Lin Xun was not optimistic about them. Without Sun Wukong's protection, the world outside would be more dangerous.
After that, the monkeys and their descendants lived in Huaguo Mountain ever since.
During this period, although there were some twists and turns, many monsters came to grab territory.
Marshal Tajima and his group of monkeys are also very capable, and they dare to fight the heavenly soldiers and generals with real swords and guns.
The weakest monkey among them is also in the late stage of refining essence into qi, while the old monkey is even in the stage of refining spirit into emptiness.
Since the monkeys' book of life and death had long been crossed out by Sun Wukong, that's why they are still there after hundreds of years.
Now, after another five hundred years of reproduction, the number of monkeys on the Flower-Fruit Mountain has grown from a few hundred at the beginning to tens of thousands now.
After listening to this, Lin Xun sighed in his heart that under the circumstances at that time, Sun Wukong was captured, and it was not easy for them to survive.
But for some reason, he had a strange feeling, as if there was a big hand controlling him.
Otherwise, the monkeys and their descendants alone would never be able to escape the capture of the Heavenly Palace.
But who would be so kind?
Lin Xun was curious, but found it hard to understand. In heaven, Sun Wukong did everything that offended people, but he had no friends willing to stand up for him.
Lin Xun thought hard for a long time but still couldn't guess who it was. Forget it, just stop thinking about it.
He is not the type of person who likes to dwell on trivial matters. Overall, it is a good thing.
If the person in the dark really wants to show up, he will definitely appear.
On the other side, Lin Xun also told the monkeys and their descendants about Sun Wukong's situation.
The monkeys were very happy when they learned that the Monkey King was still there and would return soon.
Especially when they knew that Lin Xun came to Huaguo Mountain to look after them on the orders of his master, they were extremely happy.
Many monkeys shouted excitedly, "The King has not forgotten us and still cares about us."
Lin Xun was also somewhat moved by this. No wonder Sun Wukong, after becoming a Buddha in Journey to the West, still wanted to return to the Flower-Fruit Mountain.
He indeed has a very good relationship with his monkeys and their descendants.
Afterwards, the monkeys and their descendants held a banquet for Lin Xun, and they all drank wine and ate fruits in the Water Curtain Cave.
Lin Xun enjoyed the fruits from Flower-Fruit Mountain and accepted all the monkeys' enthusiastic toasts, relying on the powerful refining ability of the Great Heavenly Immortal Art.
But he is not Sun Wukong after all, he is still a mortal, without an indestructible body. Naturally, he is no match for the monkeys alone.
For a moment, Lin Xun's face turned red from drinking, and he staggered as he walked, while the Water Curtain Cave was filled with twisted figures.
On this day, Lin Xun indulged himself for the first time in a long time. This was the drunkest he had ever been since his journey to the West.
