When the abbot heard Tang Sanzang's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said continuously: "Elder Tang taught right before, we monks should help each other outside, I was confused before, I don't know Mount Tai with eyes, you see this, you don't have to go to the inn in the dark, I let my Zen courtyard out, and I suddenly remembered, in fact, there are three rooms that are empty, enough for the elders and several little masters to live."

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Tang Sanzang showed a bit of surprise, and said a little embarrassed: "But there were some unpleasant things with the abbot master and that master before, I'm afraid it's not good for us to continue to stay in the temple." ”

"How can it be, Elder Tang, you have thought too much, it seems that you still have some nostalgia for my reckless behavior just now. The abbot hurriedly waved his hand, looked at Tang Sanzang, sighed lightly and said, "The elder doesn't know, there is a reason why I misunderstood you so much before. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Tang Sanzang asked.

The abbot looked at Tang Sanzang with an unbearable expression on his face, and said in a low voice: "At that time, my temple was also expanded by the prince on the order of the king, so it was called Baolin Temple, the temple of Baolin Temple at that time was majestic, the Buddha statue was gilded, the incense was vigorous, and the monks came from afar to preach the scriptures, and it was a thriving scene. ”

"Then why is it so dilapidated now?" Sha Wanjing asked curiously.

The abbot nodded a little embarrassedly and said: "It's all my fault for this, a few years ago, there was a group of monks from the east, I saw that they were ragged and hungry, so I introduced them into the temple, gave them monks' robes, and let them have a full meal." I thought they would stay overnight for a day or two and leave, how did I think they were greedy for pleasure in my temple, they were lazy to eat and do not talk about it on weekdays, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling were all occupied, and the sesame oil money, magic utensils, and Buddha statues in the temple were all secretly pawned by them.

Originally, those pilgrims heard about the behavior of those monks in the temple, and they didn't dare to come to the temple to offer incense, and the incense money was getting less and less day by day. Later, their case was committed, and the government arrested them, but this also ruined the reputation of our temple, if it wasn't for the prince himself to supervise the construction, I'm afraid that even I would have been arrested. You said, this kind of thing has happened, how dare I stay in the temple for the rest of the night? Now there are more than 300 monks in the temple, and the money for the incense is not enough to drink porridge, and it is still maintained by the monks in the temple in the garden. ”

Tang Sanzang looked at the abbot, the expression on his face was a little strange, he felt that this temple was a little strange before, but he didn't expect that there was such a reason, this abbot master was really a little sad, he just wanted to do a good deed, but he was cheated like this.

"Master, why don't we stay. Sha Wanjing said softly, looking at the abbot with some pity.

"Well, since the abbot has graciously invited us, we will stay, but the abbot's meditation room will not bother the abbot, just give us a few clean and clean rooms. Tang Sanzang nodded, although he knew that most of the words in the abbot's mouth were mixed with some water, but judging from the food just now, the monks in this temple were indeed miserable, and most of them were because they were pitted by a few ascetics before, so they had such a bad attitude towards him, and handed over the piece of gold that he was still holding in his hand, "This is the room fee for us to live here tonight." ”

"Elder Tang, how embarrassing is this. The abbot looked embarrassed, but he quickly took the gold, put it in his pocket without looking at it, and pointed to the side with a smile on his face: "Please here, the guest room is here, I'll take you over, by the way, a few people haven't had dinner yet, I'll let the cook go down to prepare, is it meat or vegetarian?"

"Aren't you all able to open the pot, how can there be meat?" Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows and looked at the abbot.

"If Elder Tang and a few elders want to eat meat, and there is a crowing rooster in the temple, I will go and order them to burn it for you. "The abbot is frank.

"Forget the crowing rooster, we just happened to run into a few frozen hares on the road, and we bothered the abbot to help carry some firewood, and we just roasted it ourselves. Tang Sanzang hurriedly waved his hand and said, this temple is so miserable, it would be too pitiful to eat their crowing rooster again.

However, Tang Sanzang's move was actually not stingy, the piece of gold just now could have at least fifty taels, although it was only a small tip in a pile of gold mountains, but it was enough for the three hundred monks in this temple to eat for a while.

Moreover, Tang Sanzang didn't dare to be too angry...... When he just gave the piece of gold to the abbot, Tang Sanzang felt two angers, one was Ao Xiaobai, and the other was naturally Xiao Jin in the flying dragon staff, and the two misers made up a pair.

The abbot quickly led everyone to the guest room, the best one was a small courtyard with four rooms, and there was an ancient well in the corner of the courtyard, although the guest room was intact, but it seemed that there had been no pilgrims staying here for a long time, so there was dust everywhere.

Tang Sanzang politely declined the abbot's proposal to call someone to clean up, and just asked him to send someone to send some firewood to send him out of the courtyard.

Clean up the room or something, Sun Wukong and they can solve it with a random spell, but it is even more troublesome to ask those monks to clean up, and Ao Xiaobai has been hungry since just now.

Luo Xi had just eaten enough, and the fresh aquatic plants that Sun Wukong brought when he went to pick fruits, which would be running in the yard with Ao Xiaobai and Xiaojin.

Sha Wanjing went to clean up the room and make the bed, and Zhu Tianpeng went to help, after all, the quilt was still in her Qiankun bag.

"Master, won't they be tempted if we show them the money like this?" Sun Wukong asked as he looked at Tang Sanzang, who was setting up a grill.

"That's what they should be considering, but I don't think the abbot should have the courage, otherwise those Laipi monks didn't leave this temple back then, and he casually asked dozens of monks to beat them, wouldn't there be nothing at all." Tang Sanzang said disapprerovingly: "Even if they really have this idea, they can't beat anyone......

"Well, Xiaobai can beat them three hundred. Sun Wukong was also amused, and nodded.

Soon, a few little monks came to the small courtyard with a bunch of chopped firewood, and Tang Sanzang saw that these little monks were all yellow and thin, and their hearts were soft, so he took some scattered silver from Zhu Tianpeng and rewarded them.

The little monks happily thanked Tang Sanzang and trotted out of the courtyard, although the gold had to be handed over to the abbot, but with this gold, the porridge in their bowl should be able to get more tomorrow, maybe there will be one or two salted radish.
