About The Ginseng Fruit

Xuanzang and his disciples arrived at Wuzhuang Temple, the abode of Immortal Zhenyuan. In the temple was a special ginseng fruit tree that produced only 30 fruits every 10,000 years. Immortal Zhenyuan was away when they arrived at the temple, but he had instructed his two servants to treat Xuanzang to two ginseng fruits. However, Xuanzang was frightened at the sight of the fruit which resembled a newborn infant and refused to eat it. Pigsy asked the monkey to steal three other fruits for themselves. When the servants realized that fruits were missing, they accused Xuanzang of theft and began abusing the group. The enraged monkey destroyed the ginseng fruit tree and led the team to escape at night. When Zhenyuan returned to his temple and learned what happened, he captured the pilgrims and asked them to revive the ginseng fruit tree. The monkey asked Guanyin for help and brought the tree back to life.
