A wealthy person with a reading panel

Chapter 69 I have posted it! (Please read it later)

[Chapter 98: The monkey is tamed and the horse is trained. The method of shedding the shell is completed. The practice is complete and the truth is seen.]
It is said that after Mr. Kou came back to life, he arranged the banners, drums and music, and the monks, Taoists and relatives and friends came to see him off as usual.

But Tang Sanzang and his three companions set out on the main road. They found that the Western Buddhist land was indeed different from other places...

At the end of Journey to the West, the master and his disciples finally arrived at the main hall, met Tathagata, and received the thirty-five true scriptures.

Another Bodhisattva calculated that they had endured eighty difficulties along the way, and there was still one difficulty missing.

In order to avoid disaster, the master and his disciples immediately jumped into the water.

Zhou Qing suppressed his discomfort with this extremely fateful plot and read section by section about how the master and disciple who went to seek the scriptures returned to the Tang Dynasty in the East, and then returned to Lingshan to receive the Five Saints' Fruition.

"May all the Buddhas of all worlds, with this merit... all the Buddhas of the ten directions and three periods of time, all the Bodhisattvas, Mahasattvas, and Mahaprajnaparamita."

After reciting a long string of Buddhas' names, I finally finished reading the last bit of content.

Close the book.

"Hu~~"

He let out a long breath and stood up.

He rubbed his temples.

Looking at the time again, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Including the time he took to eat dinner, it took him three and a half hours to read the last two chapters.

Before the beginning, Zhou Qing had no idea that reading "Journey to the West", which he thought he was most familiar with, would be so time-consuming and mentally exhausting.

I feel like my overall energy consumption is at least twice as much as when I first read "Water Margin"!
"Maybe I have a stronger monkey spirit in my bones."

"Especially after getting the panel!"

Zhou Qing savored this reading and looked at the notebook next to the book on the table that was specially used for taking notes on "Journey to the West". There were as many as sixty-nine emotions and doubts recorded in it.

"I'll leave it alone for now. I'll read Journey to the West next time I choose it, and then I'll read it with all these feelings and doubts."

"Now, extract!"

He closed the notebook again, went to get some clean clothes, and went to the bathroom to shower and wash up.

Then call out the panel——

Name: Zhou Qing

Currently reading: Journey to the West [Read through, do you want to draw items in the book?]

……

Concentrating his attention and about to choose "only draw, not take", Zhou Qing suddenly remembered the intrinsic relationship between himself and the panel. It was his "thoughts", his "desires" and everything else that led to the birth of the panel.

"So, so for the panel, any of my 'power of thought' may be effective!"

"The panel's response was 'maybe', a random probability."

"But why not try?"

He calmed down, closed his eyes, and began to tell himself that he would definitely be able to draw something good from "Journey to the West" this time.

Then he kept imagining peaches, ginseng fruit, immortal wine and elixir, etc. Five minutes later, he opened his eyes, "stared" at the panel, and had the idea of ​​"only drawing but not taking".

The next moment, the cover of Journey to the West, which had been dimly lit by his reading, dimmed again. A dark purple star appeared on the cover, and a passage from the novel emerged in his mind:
Upon hearing this, the Monkey King was filled with joy and said, "Tomorrow I will leave you all and descend the mountain. I will travel to the corners of the sea and the ends of the earth. I will definitely visit these three masters and learn how to achieve immortality and always avoid the dangers of Yama..."

The next day, the monkeys went to gather peaches, exotic fruits, and shaved yams, polygonatum, orchids, fragrant irises, rare herbs, and exotic flowers. Everything was neatly arranged on stone benches and tables... Plates overflowed with hazelnuts, pines, torreya, and pears, while tangerines, sugarcane, and oranges filled the tables. Yams were stewed, polygonatum was cooked until soft. Poria cocos and coix were crushed, and a broth was cooked over a low stone pot. Even if there were delicacies in the human world, how could they compare to the joys of the mountain monkeys?

The original content flashed by, but something else appeared on the panel.

Zhou Qing quickly checked——

Name: Zhou Qing

Currently reading: Waiting to be selected
Cumulative number of draws: None

Extractable items: a piece of Polygonatum, a bus... a bottle of Quaalude, etc.

……

After "seeing" clearly what the extra thing was, he was instantly a little disappointed. It was not the treasures such as peaches and ginseng fruits that he had hinted to himself before, but a piece of Polygonatum.

Polygonatum? !
Zhou Qing suddenly thought of something and stood up from his chair.

The original text that just flashed through my mind was about the stone monkey who had developed a heart for Taoism and was about to go out to seek the truth. A group of monkeys under his command prepared a banquet in the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain to see him off.

This Polygonatum is a kind of food served at banquets. Like yam, it is dug out from somewhere in Huaguo Mountain.

It may seem like an ordinary thing, but don’t forget that Huaguo Mountain is not an ordinary place!

In the original novel, the status of Huaguo Mountain is clearly described as "the ancestor of the ten continents, the origin of the three islands, established since the separation of the clear and the turbid, and formed after the separation of the universe."

Although the exact value of the Huaguo Mountain, the ancestral vein of the ten continents, is still unknown.

But no matter how low its value is, it is still a veritable blessed land in Journey to the West!
Can the Polygonatum odoratum produced in this blessed land be ordinary Polygonatum odoratum?
When Zhou Qing thought of this, he couldn't help but secretly exclaimed: "What a good fortune!"

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"The book clearly describes the monkeys 'picking fairy peaches, picking exotic fruits, digging up yams and polygonatum' – these are their daily meals. Perhaps it's because they live in the Flower-Fruit Mountain, which is rich in spiritual energy, and eat the spiritual fruits and herbs from this blessed land, that the monkeys of Flower-Fruit Mountain are no ordinary monkeys."

They are incredibly intelligent, each possessing human-like wisdom. Furthermore, even before Sun Wukong went to Hell to cross out the Book of Life and Death, their lifespans seemed to be very long, far exceeding those of ordinary monkeys.

Zhou Qing searched online and found out that the average lifespan of a monkey is only 20 to 30 years.

When Sun Wukong led the monkeys into the Water Curtain Cave and became the Monkey King, it was written like this:

In spring, he gathers flowers for food, in summer he searches for fruits for a living. In autumn, he harvests taro and chestnuts to prolong the season, in winter, he searches for golden berries to enrich the years. The Monkey King enjoys his innocent pleasures, but who would have thought that he would live for three or five hundred years...

After becoming the Monkey King, Sun Wukong lived a carefree life with the other monkeys for three to five hundred years before he began to worry about his own mortality. The other monkeys also felt the same way, covering their faces and weeping.

"It doesn't explicitly say that other monkeys can live over 300 years like Sun Wukong, but it also doesn't say they can't live that long."

In short, the only thing we can infer is that there is nothing ordinary on Huaguo Mountain. The monkeys are either magical monkeys or demon monkeys. Those fruits and medicinal herbs are also magical fruits and elixirs!
Zhou Qing thought about this over and over again, and then "stared" at the Polygonatum in the "Unextracted Options" on the panel, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

"The magical fruits and elixirs from Huaguo Mountain might not be much of a deal in the world of Journey to the West. They're far inferior to the magical fruits and elixirs eaten by the immortals in the Celestial Realm, let alone the peaches and ginseng fruit. But in a martial arts world like The Return of the Condor Heroes, they're absolutely beyond imagination. At least better than that snake gallbladder... right?"

Zhou Qing thought about it and his mind was full of one thought:
“This time, I sent it! I sent it!!”

　Fellow Taoists, you must come and read this! !
