Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1669 White Tiger Ridge

Sun Wukong was quite puzzled: "Aren't you and the fungus people of the same race? Why are you so different?"

This person is able to cultivate and live for over 10,000 years. This talent is really not low. Many immortals cannot live that long. Some immortals rely on natural resources and treasures to keep their physical bodies going, but their souls collapse before reaching 10,000 years.

This fungus person is so miserable. Only living for one day? Or living for one day as an infant? There's obviously something wrong here.

Red Leaves sighed heavily, "Elder Sun, you don't know. Everything started from the first calamity of the Dragon and Phoenix."

According to his words, the giants with dragon blood also lived at large for a long time after the war. Because of their reckless behavior, they were punished by the Emperor of Heaven. The strongest giant was reduced to thirty feet in height, and the rest were directly compressed into one-inch-tall little men. Those who were even worse than them were turned into fungus people.

The fungus people can only rely on the "daughter" of the ginseng fruit tree, the female tree, and place their souls in the tree, and then live and die every day, completing a cycle one day at a time. They have continued this cycle for billions of years.

Green Branch said excitedly: "All the elders are capable people. If you have any way, please help the Fungus People. Even though Lilliput is poor, we will definitely help the elders get what they need."

The fungus man's experience opened the eyes of the four masters and disciples and had a great impact on Tang Monk.

When he ate the ginseng fruit before, he was frightened for a long time because this thing looked so much like a human.

Now, upon hearing this, what? There's a female tree, and the fruit on the tree is full of "people," and these "people" only live for a day? He couldn't help but wonder if the ginseng fruit had a similar situation?
"Wukong, why is this? Do you know?" He could only ask the knowledgeable people around him. The problem was that Sun Wukong's knowledge was not as rich as he expected, so he naturally couldn't explain the reason.

He felt a little embarrassed, but still shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it. I don't know the details."

Taoist Duobao did give him some secret techniques to increase his wisdom and knowledge, but the problem was that he hadn't gotten started yet.

Tang Seng was a compassionate person. In his opinion, it was truly tragic that a group of babies were born in a tree, played for a day, and then happily disappeared into the earth, and new babies were born the next day.

He looked at Old Pig and Jade Rabbit, hoping to get some information from them.

The Jade Rabbit was too lazy to pay attention to this pedantic monk. There were so many injustices in the prehistoric world. Was the fate of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin tribes fair? Was the fate of the Witch tribe fair? The Jade Emperor didn't care, so why would you?

She fought against Ji Meng because of the position of the Witch Clan. In the remaining time, she was only responsible for the journey to the west. After successfully obtaining the scriptures, she would return to Guanghan Palace and would not do anything else.

Lao Zhu had a similar idea: How much money are you giving me to risk my life?

He advised Tang Seng: "Master, this is all predetermined and beyond human control."

Tang Sanzang disagreed with this statement: "Is there no way? Living in the morning and dying in the evening, how pitiful it is."

The old pig pointed to the sky and laughed: "Master, the world is not perfect, and things in the world are incomplete."

Sun Wukong was unhappy when he heard this. Perhaps he would agree with this statement in the second half of his journey to the West, but now that they had just passed Wanshou Mountain, he really didn't like this kind of argument that always blamed the heaven and earth.

It has always been like this, right?
He angrily shouted, "Stop your nonsense, you idiot! It's because there are too many idiots like you, each minding their own business, that so many injustices happen in the world!"

The old pig sneered, "Don't you even look at your own weight? Is this something you can control? What good would it do if you did?"
Sun Wukong said, "Master, please rest for a while. I and the two of them will go to the female tree to take a look. It will take at least one day, at most three days, and we will definitely be back. Is that okay?"

Tang Seng pondered in silence. He wanted to help the villain and the fungus man, but he was also worried about his own safety. The old pig and the jade rabbit together were not as reliable as the monkey.

He is not so great as to sacrifice his own life to save the fungus people, but it is not his character to stand by and watch them die.

After thinking for a while, he nodded gently: "Okay, go quickly and come back soon."

Two little men were responsible for showing the way, and Sun Wukong flew away with a somersault cloud.

The master and his two disciples continued their journey westward, with the Jade Rabbit leading the way this time.

When there is a moon, she won't get lost, but when there is no moon, it's hard to say.

You can only go by feeling.

The master and his two disciples walked further and further away, and after half a day, they arrived at an extremely dangerous place.

To describe it in words, it's like "Peaks and rocks overlap, ravines and valleys meander. Tigers and wolves run in formation, deer and deer walk in herds. Thousand-foot pythons and ten-thousand-foot-long snakes belch out sorrowful mists, and the snakes breathe out strange winds."

Not only are there a great number of wild beasts in the mountains, but each one is also incredibly large, which could easily serve as the scene of a python disaster.

This is obviously not a good place.

"Bajie, I am hungry. Go and get some vegetarian food." Tang Seng gave the order to the old pig.

Old Pig was stunned. "You want me to go to such a poor and desolate place and beg for food? Are you going to go beg for food from those ten-foot-long snakes? You're making things difficult for me!"

In fact, Tang Seng did want to make things difficult for Pigsy. This guy pretended to be dead in Wuzhuang Temple and never took a step out of the room until the very end.

I ordered you, and you didn't obey. Doesn't that mean I, your master, have no say? Besides, if you disobey orders today and are captured by a demon someday, will you come to save me? Then you'll definitely say, "There's no point in saving that monk. Let's just break up!"

This guy must be punished this time.

He said with a straight face: "Go!"

The old pig was absolutely unwilling to do so, but as a pig who had experienced the beatings of society, he was not as stubborn as Sun Wukong and knew that the consequences of his direct disobedience would be very serious.

Despite being annoyed, he chose to obey the order.

"Okay, okay! Can't I go? Where can I find vegetarian food in this wilderness?" He walked into the mountains cursing, while Tang Seng and the Jade Rabbit were waiting for him there.

Tang Seng wanted to say a few words to the Jade Rabbit, but the Jade Rabbit ignored him and just sat there with its eyes closed to rest.

The White Dragon Horse and the old hen borrowed by Kong Xuan were looking for food on their own.

Not long after, the old pig came back empty-handed, and Tang Seng frowned.

"Master! I've found out that this place is called White Tiger Ridge. There's a farmer's family at the foot of the ridge. They should have some vegetarian food."

Jade Rabbit asked curiously, "How many households are there?"

"How many households? Just one family of three, an elderly couple with a daughter."

"Is that daughter pretty? How does she compare to Cuilan?"

"Bah! You dead rabbit, Cuilan is my wife!"

Tang Seng hurriedly stopped their quarrel. Farmers' families meant food. His two disciples could starve, and the white dragon horse could also hold on, but he really couldn't bear it anymore.

Lao Zhu led the way, and the three masters and apprentices walked into Baihu Ridge in a swaggering manner.
