More than a dozen miles away.

It only took a few minutes to sit on the plantain leaves when I returned.

As a result, I walked on the mountain road, and I had to walk for more than an hour to see the gate of the temple.

Outside the door stood a few rows of monks.

Before he could get closer, one of the leading monks greeted him warmly.

"The elder is a person who has come from the Eastern Tang Dynasty to learn scriptures?"

"The master is coming to the temple, and the burrow is shining!"

The monk was fifty or sixty years old, with thick eyebrows and big ears, a red face, an innocent garment, a left hat, a pair of brass rings hanging from his ears, and a silk belt around his waist.

The god of Ma ***, who patted Tang Seng on his mouth, looked nervously at Hou Fei behind Tang Seng.

Obviously, Hou Feiteng's cloud-like immortal methods had already reached his ears before.

Tang Seng dismounted again and again, tidied up his clothes, and politely replied: "There is labor and labor, poor monks and apprentices are from the east, go to the Leiyin Temple to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures, seeing that the sky is going to be late, I want to borrow the brake for a night." ”

"The holy monk is polite, please sit in the courtyard."

The master of the courtyard politely took Tang Seng by the arm and led him in affectionately.

Hou Fei followed behind him expressionlessly, leading the little donkey, with a serene and complacent posture, which attracted a lot of discussion among the monks at the door.

"Oh, just now he was riding on a big bird and stopped in mid-air to talk to us, what a god!"

"It's obviously a fan, how can it be a bird? What do you look at? ”

"What are you fighting for this, the Dongtu Divine Monk is coming to the Temple, and you say that the Teacher's Guild will not come out to meet in person?"

Hou Fei naturally didn't have to deal with those little monks, but the white dragon horse followed him, and after walking to a no-man's land, he opened his mouth and slapped a sycophant, "Senior brother must have shown his magical powers here just now, and he scared those monks a lot, so he was so enthusiastic about us." ”

Hou Fei smiled and said: "This temple is not simple, you stay on the side, be smart, and I will take care of the master first." ”

Hou Fei handed the donkey's reins forward.

The little white dragon opened his mouth, sensibly took the reins, and personally led the little donkey to the eaves with a manger, and shocked the leading monk behind him.

"This holy monk from the east is really not simple, even the beasts with him are human, I have to tell the master of the courtyard about this, don't neglect them."

After Hou Fei left the white dragon horse, he followed everyone to a main hall.

The master of the courtyard had welcomed Tang Seng to the main seat and let people serve tea.

Hou Fei glanced at it and said dissatisfiedly: "I'll wait all the way to the west, eat and sleep in the open, and you will take a cup of tea to treat me?" ”

Hou Fei just complained casually, and immediately stood up in shock, "Don't you dare to snub the holy monk and apprentice, this will let people prepare a meal." ”

The other party is the owner of a temple, he has a family and a business, and this temple is also generously cultivated, there are several rooms in the main hall alone, and Hou Fei is just a small novice who has just started.

The other party was so polite, but it made Tang Seng who was sitting in the right seat a little uneasy.

He quietly pulled Hou Fei behind him and asked in a low voice: "Apprentice, you are a landlord, and you are kind enough to take us in, you should be respectful, don't offend the courtyard master." ”

Hou Fei comforted disapprovingly: "A few little monks, a broken temple, what is there to worry about?" The more we are like this, the more they dare not snub us, do you know what a 'shepherd dog' is? ”

"Disciple, the more you say this, the more confused you become."

"Master, just do what I say, remember, take out the style of the Tang monks, and the higher the qualification, the better."

Although Tang Seng didn't understand what 'shepherd dog' and 'forced ge' meant, he also vaguely guessed the intention of Hou Fei's words.

Along the way, relying on a Zen staff given by the Bodhisattva and the identity of a monk of the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Soil, it can be said that he has walked all the way and prostituted all the way.

Those who eat other people's food, live in other people's houses, and bring some souvenirs with them when you leave.

What I heard was admiration and admiration.

When it comes to taking advantage of big people and eating big households, Tang Seng's practical experience can be described as quite rich.

So he coughed pretentiously and grasped the posture of the holy monk even more.

"Holy monk, there is also a teacher in my temple, I heard that the holy monk came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, traveled thousands of miles, my heart is curious, I am about to visit, and I ask the holy monk not to be surprised."

"Where is it, this time to come to the door to disturb, it is already a crime, the lord of the courtyard has given me a gift, take us in, etc., I am grateful in my heart, how dare I call myself a holy monk?"

The two were talking, and suddenly there was a commotion at the door.

Two monks helped an old monk to break in.

"Where is the holy monk from the eastern soil, quickly introduce me to him."

Before anyone arrived, a voice came.

Hou Fei stood behind and watched silently.

I saw that the old monk was wearing a brocade velvet shirt, his cane was full of clouds, his face was wrinkled, his old eyes were dizzy, his waist was hunched and his back was bent, and there was some leakage between his lips and teeth.

However, the monks in the main hall respected him very much, and whispered again and again, "Master is here." ”

"Was that what this guy made before?"

Hou Fei just glanced at it, and then his eyes fell on the old monk.

When the master of the courtyard saw that the teacher was coming, he hurriedly gave up his position, and the old monk sat up as a relentless person, and when he sat down firmly, he turned his attention to Tang Seng again.

"The little ones said that the old man from the Tang Dynasty in the East came to the temple, and I came out to see it, and said that you can soar through the clouds and fog, and now that you see it, it is average, but you deceive me and slander me with words?"

This sentence instantly cooled the atmosphere in the hall.

The master of the courtyard standing behind him kept poking the old monk with his arm, but he didn't hear it, and asked, "Dare to ask the master, how much distance is there from Dongtu to here?" ”

Tang Seng replied: "Out of the border of Chang'an, there are more than 5,000 miles; After passing through the two realms of the mountains, he collected a group of disciples, and along the way, he traveled through the country of Xifanha, and there were five or six thousand miles before he arrived at your place. ”

The old monk pursed his mouth, naturally disbelieving it in his heart, but he pretended to be surprised on his face, and sighed: "There are really thousands of miles away, I wait for my disciples to spend their lives in vain, and the mountain gate has never gone out. ”

The old monk saw that although Tang Seng was extraordinary, there was not much surprise in his words, only that the previous rumor was that the monks in the temple were deceiving him.

After saying a few more words, he suddenly beckoned outward, and a little boy came to the door, and took out a plate of mutton fat jade, on which were three tea bells inlaid with gold in blue;

Another boy carried a white copper pot and poured three cups of fragrant tea.

It's really a color deception, and the taste is better than the fragrance of osmanthus.

Tang Seng just glanced at it, and immediately leaned out his upper body, with a rare hint of surprise in his eyes, and couldn't help but praise: "Good object!" Good object! What a food! ”

Hou Fei also poked Tang Seng's back with his arm in the back, and whispered: "Master, please pay attention to your words, don't lose the compulsion and demeanor of the Tang monk." ”

Tang Seng hurriedly retracted the bald head that stretched out.
