Mei Zheren's group of six people, plus a monkey, finally came to the gate of Huaguo Mountain Scenic Area. On the gate, there are nine big characters written on the door: "Fight to defeat the Buddha's hometown Huaguo Mountain".

Next to the gate is the ticket office. It was lunchtime and no one was buying tickets. Six people came to the ticket office. Mei Zheren asked the conductor:

"How much do tickets cost?"

"How many of you are?" Said the conductor.

"There are six of us." Mei Zheren said.

"And a monkey." Sun Xiaosheng said.

"Then you are not six people, the monkey is short, even if it is a child ticket, it will be discounted by six." Said the conductor.

"Monkeys also collect money?" Wang Chao said to the conductor.

"That's right, I didn't make it clear enough, the monkey is a children's ticket." Said the conductor.

"There are thousands of monkeys on this Huaguo Mountain, have they all paid for tickets?" Ma Khan said to the conductor.

"The monkeys in the mountains are not the same as the monkeys outside." Said the conductor.

"What's the difference, aren't they all monkeys?" Sun Xiaosheng said to the conductor.

"Of course it's different, think about it, what do tourists come to Huaguo Mountain to see? Most of them are here to defeat the Buddha by fighting, what is the victory over the Buddha? It's a monkey.

When tourists arrive at Huaguo Mountain, they have to see the monkeys. These monkeys are not ordinary monkeys, just like us, they all work in Huaguo Mountain. You don't have to buy a ticket to work here. The conductor said.

"It's the first time I've heard of it." Mo Zhenming said to the conductor.

"According to you, you and the monkeys on Huaguo Mountain are colleagues, aren't they?" Mo Zhenshi also said to the conductor.

"Of course." Said the conductor.

"Our monkey is from Huaguo Mountain, and after we go up the mountain, we will release this monkey." Mei Zheren said to the conductor.

"Then you'll have to buy a ticket." Said the conductor.

"Why do you have to buy a ticket? This monkey is your colleague! Wang Chao said to the conductor.

"It's a colleague on Huaguo Mountain, but it's not a colleague when you go down the mountain. Besides, who can prove that this monkey is from Huaguo Mountain?

Is there a letter of introduction, is there a birth certificate, is the certificate of blood relationship within three generations opened, and is it notarized at a notary office......? The conductor said.

Mei Zheren said to the conductor: "Okay, needless to say, we can't prove it." Let's buy a child ticket for this monkey. He looked down at the little monkey again, and then said to the conductor, "You brute, you have become a human too." ”

Sun Xiaosheng, Wang Chao, Ma Khan, and the Mingshi brothers couldn't help laughing. The conductor said to Mei Zheren:

"How do you curse?"

"I didn't scold, didn't you hear, I scolded the brute who worked in Huaguo Mountain." Mei Zheren said.

"It turned out to be scolding it, I thought it was me." Said the conductor.

"How much are the tickets?" Sun Xiaosheng asked the conductor.

"Our tickets here are divided into one-way tickets and two-way tickets, and the ticket prices are different." Said the conductor.

"One-way tickets, two-way tickets, I've never heard of them, how do you say it?" Wang Chao said to the conductor.

"Two-way ticket, is to go up the mountain for sightseeing, and then come down after reading. For a one-way ticket, you can only go up the mountain, not down the mountain. The conductor said.

"Co-author, this one-way ticket is just after going up the mountain, and you won't be allowed to come down, right?" Ma Khan said to the conductor.

"It's not that you won't let you go down, it's that you won't let you go down when you reach the top of the mountain. You have to go down the mountain, there is a cliff in the back mountain, you can jump down. The conductor said.

"Okay, you're too ruthless in this scenic spot." Mei Zheren said to the conductor.

"Do you want to buy a one-way ticket or a two-way ticket?" Said the conductor.

"We don't have wings, and we can't fly the clouds, so we must buy a two-way ticket. I like monkeys, but if I want to stay in the mountains and be a monkey, that's not okay. Sun Xiaosheng said to the conductor.

"How much does a two-way ticket cost?" Mei Zheren asked the conductor.

"Two-way ticket, the ticket price is ten taels of silver." Said the conductor.

"That's too expensive, isn't it? This Huaguo Mountain is not much higher than Liuzhi Mountain, Liuzhi Mountain does not need money, and when you come here, it costs ten taels of silver to go up the mountain. Wang Chao said to the conductor.

"Behold, ye ought to have hung a sign at the door, saying, 'I have opened this mountain, and I have planted this tree.' If you want to live from now on, leave behind to buy road money. Ma Khan also said.

"It's really funny, we're not the king of the mountain, how can we hang such a sign?" The conductor said to Ma Khan.

"You're not robbers." Ma Khan said to the conductor.

"That's right." Said the conductor.

"The only difference between you and the robbers is that there is no standard for how much money the robbers rob at a time, while you are clearly marked." Wang Chao said to the conductor.

"It's really funny. I didn't set the price, and it's useless for you to tell me. If it's too expensive, you don't have to buy a ticket, and no one forces you to buy a ticket to go up the mountain. The conductor said.

"It doesn't matter how many taels it is, let's buy tickets." Mei Zheren said to the conductor.

"I calculate, six people, ten taels for one person, that is, sixty taels, monkey is a children's ticket, six taels, a total of sixty-six taels of silver, good luck." Said the conductor.

"No, the six of us buy a two-way ticket, and the monkey won't come down when it goes up the mountain, so it should buy a one-way ticket." Mei Zheren said to the conductor.

"Yes, yes, I recalculated, six adults are sixty taels. The monkey is a one-way children's ticket, which should be three taels, that is, sixty-three taels. The conductor said.

The Meizhe people said to Ma Khan, "Give the money." ”

Ma Khan took out the silver and gave it to the conductor.

Sun Xiaosheng said to the conductor: "You give a receipt of two hundred taels of silver, and we will go back for reimbursement." It is based on the training fee. ”

"I don't see it, you're pretty good. I'll just open it. The conductor said.

The conductor gave the ticket and the receipt to Mei Zheren. Six people and one monkey walked to the gate of the scenic spot. Guarding the gate were a few big men, and after reading the tickets, they let the Mei Zhe people enter the gate.

Because Wang Chao can understand the animals, the little monkey has been led by him. Along the way, the little monkey kept jumping up and down, which made Wang Chao suffer a lot. As soon as he entered Huaguo Mountain, Wang Chao said to the Mei Zheren:

"Sixth Master, should we let this little monkey go now?"

"There are so many people here, and if it gets caught again, I'm going to lose a lot. I bought so many delicious things for it, and bought tickets, and it cost thirteen taels of silver. Mei Zheren said.

"Let's wait until we get to the Water Curtain Cave and then release it, the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain should live there." Sun Xiaosheng said to Wang Chao.

Everyone began to climb the mountain, and after not going far, two courtyards appeared on both sides of the road, on the left is the Dousheng Buddha Temple, and on the right is the Bodhi Temple. Mei Zheren felt very strange, so he said to the person next to him:

"Fighting to defeat the Buddha is a Buddhist immortal, and it is not surprising that there is a temple on Huaguo Mountain. It's amazing that there is a Taoist temple here. And he said to the king's nest and to Mahan,

"Wang Chao, Ma Khan, you have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time and have seen a lot of knowledge, have you ever seen this kind of temple and Taoist temple as neighbors?"

"I haven't seen it." Wang Chao said.

"I haven't seen it." Ma Khan also said.

"Go and see, don't you know what's going on?" Sun Xiaosheng said to Mei Zheren.

"Madame is right, let's go and see. This is Huaguo Mountain, let's go to see the Dousheng Buddha Temple first. Mei Zheren said.

The six men and one monkey then walked to the door of the temple. A sign was erected at the entrance of the temple, which read "Free to visit the temple".

Wang Chao and Ma Khan didn't know how to read, so they asked the Celebrity Brothers what was written on the sign. Mo Zhenming said:

"What is written on it is what is free and what is in."

"The last word I know is Guan." Mo Zhenshi said.

"What are you two talking about? It's a mess. Wang Chao said to the Celebrity Brothers.

"Don't you understand? There are six words in total, and the two of them add up to know three. Ma Khan said to the king's nest.

"Xianggong, it's better for you to read it. The twins are so unreliable! Sun Xiaosheng said to Mei Zheren.

"Now you know I'm reliable, right? It says that admission to the temple is free. Mei Zheren said.

"What is written?" Wang Chao couldn't believe that he heard the word "free", and thought he had heard it wrong.

"It's written that you can visit the store for free." Mo Zhenming said.

"Free to visit!" Mo Zhenshi repeated it again.

"This is really strange, since I came to this Huaguo Mountain Scenic Area, it costs money everywhere, and the price is ridiculously high. Ma Khan said.

"We spent so much money on tickets to go up the mountain, probably because the money to visit various attractions was already included." Mei Zheren said.

"Whatever, since we're all here, and it's written here that it's free to visit, let's just go in and visit." Sun Xiaosheng said.

So the six people and one monkey walked towards the temple. As soon as he entered the temple gate, an old monk greeted him and said:

"Nan Wudou defeated the Buddha, and all donors are welcome to send money."

"What are you going to do with us?" Mei Zheren said to the old monk.

"Sixth Master, I heard clearly, he said, we are welcome to send money." Wang Chao said to Mei Zheren.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm wrong, I welcome all donors to burn incense and make wishes." The old monk said.

"Old monk, we don't burn incense, we only visit." Sun Xiaosheng said to the old monk.

"Donors are free to visit." The old monk said.

The six people of Mei Zhe took the little monkey to visit the temple, and the old monk followed them all the time.

After visiting for a while, Sun Xiaosheng said to the old monk:

"Old monk, why is there only one monk in this temple, and what about others?"

"I also wonder, why don't you have a monk in this temple?" Mei Zheren also asked the old monk.

"This temple was originally two monks of me and my son, and today my daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, and my wife was too busy to come, so my son went back to help." The old monk said.

"Wait a minute, old monk, you just said that your daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, is your wife too busy?" Wang Chao asked the old monk.

"Yes, that's it. If I don't have someone to replace me, I won't be able to leave, or I'll go back to see my grandson. The old monk said.

"Don't talk about it, you old monk, you are a monk, how can you have an old wife? Your son is also a monk and has a daughter-in-law, and he gave birth today! Are you two serious monks? Ma Khan asked the old monk.

"That's right, we're monks." The old monk said.

"Then why are you still married and have children? A monk cannot get married. Sun Xiaosheng also asked the old monk.

"I haven't finished talking yet, our father and son are part-time monks." The old monk said.

"Part-time monk? This is the first time I've heard of this, but tell me, how do you work part-time? Mei Zheren asked the old monk.

"My son and I, we both worked as monks in this temple during the day. After work in the evening, I went down the mountain and went home, I should eat, I should drink, I should marry my daughter-in-law, I should have children. Don't delay. The old monk said.

"Just such a part-time monk? Well, I don't think we need to visit either. Ma Khan said to the old monk.

"Your temple turned out to be a business." Mo Zhenming said.

"Let's go, let's go." Mo Zhenshi also said.

Mei Zheren and the others stopped visiting, and when they were about to reach the gate, the old monk said to them:

"Donors, please stay and see what is written on both sides of the gate."

The six people stopped, and the little monkey still wanted to jump, but Wang Chao grabbed it. Mo Zhenming read the words on the left wall:

"What's in it...... nothing"
