Taoyuan Xianzhuang

Chapter 900 Pagoda Fruit

creak... creak... creak...

The body of the great ape king, weighing more than one ton, crushed the eight-carried sedan chair until it creaked. Even though it was an eight-carried sedan chair, it was carried by twelve little demons, all of whom were red-faced and panting from exhaustion. Like a cow.

I have to say that the quality of this sedan chair is really strong!

In front of the Great Ape King and all the monsters, there are three other monsters whose costumes are different from ordinary monsters. They seem to have some status. Other monsters dare not speak, but these three monsters are talking and laughing.

"The Great Ape King?"

Dong Jian rolled his eyes, turned his head to look at Dong Pingcheng, and asked in a low voice, "Pingcheng, is there such a guy on the reward order? Fifty cents? I remember correctly, right?"

Dong Pingcheng thought for a while, and immediately showed a positive look, "That's right! Uncle, there is indeed him!"

Fifty cents, the value is about the same as fifty bottles of dew!
After all the monsters carried the Great Ape King over, the four of them came out of the cave.

Dong Jian looked at the clever duck, "What did they say just now?"

The voices of the three monsters were not low, and they did not conceal them at all, but anyone who was not deaf could hear them.

It's just that they all spoke demonic language, and Dong Jian, Yang Xiao, and Dong Pingcheng sounded almost foreign.

The clever duck said: "They are guessing what our king likes, and they even talked about our king's private life!"

"What do you mean? Don't lie to me! If you dare to lie to me, I will bury you on the spot!" Dong Jian threatened.

The clever duck quickly said: "No, no, how dare I lie to some grandpas! They said they came to celebrate their birthday. I just thought that tomorrow is our king's birthday, although our king and the great ape king don't have a good relationship. , but as neighbors, you have to come to say hello on birthdays, grandpas, don’t you think so? What they were discussing just now was our king’s preferences, maybe they were planning to choose a birthday present.”

Dong Jian looked straight into the eyes of the clever duck, "Really?"

"Really! Grandpa, I dare not lie to you!" The Ducky Duck kept nodding in favor.

"I don't dare to forgive you!"

Dong Jian snorted coldly, turned to look at Yang Xiao, "Yang Xiao, I think what this kid said is true, he dare not lie, you... Yang Xiao? Yang Xiao?"

Yang Xiao's attention was not on this matter the whole time, at this moment Yang Xiao was staring at a wild fruit tree not far away, fascinated.

"Yang Xiao? Brother Yang Xiao?"

"what?"

It wasn't until Dong Jian gave Yang Xiao a hand that Yang Xiao came to his senses and looked at Dong Jian suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Dong Jian followed Yang Xiao's gaze just now, landed on the wild fruit tree, and asked curiously: "What are you looking at?"

Yang Xiao didn't hide anything, and pointed to the fruit tree and asked, "What kind of fruit is that?"

The shape of the wild fruit is very strange, it looks like an exquisite pagoda, which is similar to the legendary ginseng fruit!
When Dong Jianli turned his head and looked at the clever duck beside him, the latter was very self-conscious, "This is pagoda fruit, which cannot be eaten. Although it is not poisonous, it is very bitter. It can be used temporarily to satisfy hunger, but it can only be used as a decoration at ordinary times. Watch."

This fruit looks too delicate!
The pagoda fruit is not big, only the size of a thumb, but it is really exquisite. Its appearance is very similar to the pagoda, almost lifelike, and there are even doors on each floor!

There are three-story towers, four-story towers, five-story towers...

And the colors are different, red, yellow, green, and purple!
If this thing is sold to the human world, it will definitely be all the rage!
The only downside is that it tastes bad!

If the taste is not bad, then specify the big fire!
It's perfect for gift giving!
Just imagine, which one is more face-saving, carrying several catties of apples or several catties of pagoda fruits of different colors?
The largest pagoda fruit can grow to the size of an egg. It is blue when it is not mature. After it is mature, the color will gradually change. As for the red, purple or yellow, it depends on the color of the rhizome of the pagoda fruit. .

Five-year-old pagoda fruit rhizomes are yellow, and the fruits produced are also yellow.

The ten-year-old pagoda fruit rhizome is red, and the fruit it bears is also red.

As for pagoda fruit that is more than 30 years old, the rhizome is purple, and the fruit is also purple.

Yang Xiao came to the pagoda fruit tree and reached out to pick a fruit.

"Can you eat it directly?"

"It's fine, don't worry."

Yang Xiao took a bite and found that the taste was indeed as bitter and astringent as the clever duck said, but the taste was very delicate!
If the taste is sweet, then this fruit is amazing!

Pagoda fruit has no juice, or very little, similar to a banana, but it is not soft and sticky, it is very crisp, a bit like a horseshoe!

"Yang Xiao, what's wrong?"

Dong Jian came to Yang Xiao's side and asked curiously, "Are you hungry?"

"No."

Yang Xiao thought about it, and felt that the pagoda fruit was a little familiar to him.

It seems... I have eaten it in the mortal world.

"persimmon?"

In a flash of inspiration, Yang Xiao thought of persimmons!
That's right, the pagoda fruit tastes the same as the astringent taste of persimmons!

If the persimmons are picked and eaten directly, the mouth will be astringent. You need to soak them in salt water or lime water, and put them in a ventilated place to dry for a day and a night to get rid of the astringency.

Will the pagoda fruit have the same effect?
Turning to look at the clever duck, "If this pagoda fruit is picked and left for a day and a night, will it taste better?"

The clever duck said: "Master, don't talk about one day and one night, even ten days and ten nights are useless!"

"Have you tried?"

"I've tried them all! This stuff is not tasty. If it was delicious, it would have been eaten up long ago!"

The clever duck pointed to a forest not far away, and said: "Master, if you are hungry and want to eat fruit, I recommend that place. There is a phoenix fruit tree over there. The taste of phoenix fruit is much better than this stuff." .”

"Fengxiangguo? What is it?"

Dong Pingcheng said: "Fengxiang fruit is a unique fruit in the underworld. It tastes good. It is a bit like an apple, tender and juicy. Moreover, its shape is a bit like a bird, and its color is red, just like the legendary apple. Suzaku is the same as Phoenix, so it is called Fengxiangguo!"

"You also know?" Yang Xiao looked at Dong Pingcheng in surprise.

"When I received the reward order, I have been to the underworld a few times, and all I ate were phoenix fruit."

"Go, take me to see." Yang Xiao immediately let the clever duck lead the way.

Dong Jian and Dong Pingcheng were puzzled, thinking that Yang Xiao didn't come here this time for Gulong Aotian?Why are you so interested in fruit all of a sudden?

Judging by his appearance, he doesn't seem to be hungry either!
It's common sense for a cultivator to resist hunger. What exactly does this Yang Xiao want to do?
Although the two were puzzled, they didn't ask any further questions. They followed Yang Xiao silently and walked towards the Fengxiangguo forest not far away.
