The Zhenyuan Immortal gives chase to catch the scripture monk; / Pilgrim Sun greatly disturbs Five Villages Abbey.
We were telling you about the three brothers, who went to the main hall and said to their master, "The rice is almost done. Why did you call us? " "Disciples," said Tripitaka, "I didn't want to ask you about the rice. They have something called the ginseng fruit in this Abbey, which looks like a newborn infant. Which one of you stole it and ate it? " "Honestly," said Eight Rules, "I don't know anything about it, and I haven't seen it. " "It's the one who is laughing! It's the one who is laughing! " said Clear Breeze. "I was born with a laughing face! " snapped Pilgrim. "Don't think because you have lost some kind of a fruit that you can keep me from laughing! " "Disciple, don't get angry," said Tripitaka. "Those of us who have left the family should not lie, nor should we enjoy stolen food. If you have in truth eaten it, you owe them an apology. Why deny it so vehemently?"
