"Oh, it's a wandering monk. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" The old monk with the bamboo broom looked at Tang Sanzang and said with some surprise, looking Tang Sanzang up and down, although the monk's robe and robe are half old, but the dusty breath is still difficult to hide, looking at the monks in the temple, there is no one who can compare, and he also nodded with a smile and said: "The old monk is just a sweeping monk in this temple, I can't be the master of the night, and I ask the elder to wait, I will go to report to the abbot." ”

"Huh? Sweeper? Tang Sanzang glared, looking at the old monk with white hair and obliquely holding a bamboo broom, the legendary sweeping monk suddenly jumped out of his heart, no wonder the previous random finger felt that there was a special charm, this industry is really bottomless.

"Elder, what's wrong?" The sweeper asked.

"No, I just remembered some of the past, and then there was work." Tang Sanzang shook his head and said.

Seeing the sweeping monk leave, Tang Sanzang looked left and right, it should be the meal, so there are almost no monks in the temple, but the door of the main hall on the side is open, and the big Buddha of the clay sculpture inside is majestic and solemn, more than one zhang high, which is not common in the temples of the Tang Dynasty, but it is seen in a temple in the mountains, it can be seen that the people of Xiniu Hezhou worship and worship Buddhism is indeed not comparable to the Tang Dynasty.

Just as Tang Sanzang was looking around, an old monk in a golden and red robe hurriedly walked from the backyard, and the sweeping monk from before trotted to follow.

"Where?" The old monk turned his head and asked.

"Abbot, it's just ahead." The sweeping monk gasped for breath and pointed to Tang Sanzang, who was standing in front of him and stopped in front of a mural.

"Huineng, you said that there is a distinguished guest in the temple, this little monk?" The abbot stopped, looked at Tang Sanzang standing in front of the mural, a light red cotton robe was washed and whitened, and there were even a few places where the sewing was mended, and the cloth shoes on his feet were stained with some snow and mud, looking quite shabby, and he looked back at the sweeping monk and asked.

The sweeping monk was stared at by the abbot's eyes and immediately lacked confidence, Nie Nie said: "Abbot, he said that he is a monk from the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Soil, I think he looks quite good, I am afraid that he is a monk who has attained the Tao, so he said that he is a distinguished guest." ”

"You!" The abbot reached out and knocked on the bald head of the sweeping monk with some annoyance, and said angrily: "What is not good, you see his dress, he is an ascetic monk with feet, and I am a rich merchant and a big man from the city who came in a hurry." What is the Eastern Tang Dynasty, a barren land, and thousands of miles of red land, just look at the dress on his body. Most of the people who come out of such places are scoundrels, and I am afraid that they want to come to my temple to blackmail and spend the night? We don't have a spare meditation room to rest, and our home-cooked food is not enough for the monks in the temple to eat, so if he doesn't dislike it, let him squat in the corridor in front of him for one night. After saying that, he turned around and left.

"This ......" The sweeping monk looked at the abbot who turned to leave, and his face showed embarrassment.

On the side, Tang Sanzang looked at the old monk who was striding away in a huff, and he also showed a little surprise.

Tang Sanzang found out when the two appeared, and naturally heard the conversation between the two, but he didn't expect that the abbot just glanced at him, and left angrily without even saying a word to him, which surprised him.

Since entering Xiniu Hezhou, Tang Sanzang found that the influence of Buddhism is indeed strong, so ordinary people also have good intentions when they see him, and they often buy things and give a little by the way, but they didn't expect to enter this temple today, but they just wanted to spend a night and were ridiculed, and they also mocked the Tang Dynasty by the way.

"Barrens?" Tang Sanzang raised his eyebrows slightly, although the Tang Dynasty is not rich for everyone, but over the years, it can be regarded as living and working in peace and contentment, and it has been quite rich, Chang'an has a population of one million, and it is the largest city in the world, and it is the largest city in the world.

The sweeping monk stepped forward with an embarrassed face, looked at Tang Sanzang and scratched his head and said: "Elder, you also heard, I am afraid that our presiding point is not to let you stay overnight, you see, there is a village five or six miles west from here, you can go there to spend the night." ”

"Well, I'm tired of reporting." Tang Sanzang nodded to the sweeping monk, his impression of this sweeping monk was okay, and said with a smile: "Can you bother the master to help me go to the door and talk to a few apprentices, just say that the abbot here is somewhat similar to the abbot of the Guanyin Temple at the beginning, and I want to talk to the abbot again." ”

"The master still has apprentices? This ......" The sweeping monk looked at Tang Sanzang, his face was embarrassed, not a single monk and abbot agreed, if there were a few more, the abbot would probably be even more angry, and looking at Tang Sanzang's appearance, he still didn't plan to give up.

"There's Master Lao." Tang Sanzang said with his hands folded, his voice was calm, but he did not have the slightest intention of wavering. People are outside, and their hometown is not allowed to be humiliated, I am afraid that this is the common voice of all wanderers.

"Okay." The sweeping monk gritted his teeth and turned to walk in the direction of the door.

Tang Sanzang withdrew his hand and slowly walked towards the direction where the previous abbot had left.

This temple covers a wide area, although there are many dilapidated places, but the meditation room, the main hall is scattered, one after another.

Tang Sanzang casually grabbed a little monk and asked the abbot that he was eating with the monks in the dining hall, and most of the monks in the temple were there.

Watching the curious little monk leave, Tang Sanzang walked in the direction he had pointed earlier.

You can already smell the food in the air, but it smells so good that it doesn't taste good when you think about it.

Soon, a rather wide hall appeared in front of him, and from the hidden door, you can see that the monks inside are sitting cross-legged, eating quietly, and in the upper position, the abbot who had mocked Tang Sanzang before was also drinking porridge with a large bowl, and there were three or four vegetarian dishes in front of him.

Tang Sanzang stepped forward and stretched out his hand to push open the door.

Two wooden doors opened and slammed against the wall with a soft thud.

The monks who were eating in the hall all stopped, and turned their heads in surprise, all curious about who was so bold and dared to make such a loud noise during the meal, but the abbot master was still there, and now it was estimated that he would be punished to work.

However, when everyone saw the person standing at the door, they were stunned again, although the person standing at the door was a monk, but his face was very raw, and no one knew him.

"Who is this person?"

"I don't know, is it new?"

"There's a new guy again, the porridge has become thinner and thinner in the past few days, and if you come again, it is estimated that you won't even be able to get rice."

The monks whispered, looking at Tang Sanzang, all of them were not very welcome.
