Chapter 18: Elder Jinchi who suffers from gains and losses

"Master, it's not good, the apprentice of Tang Seng has found it, let us return him the golden hoop ring."

In the hall of the backyard, a small monk ran in in a panic.

Elder Jin Chi's face was also a little flustered.

It's like a schoolboy who doesn't dare to go home after the test results come out and hides on the streets.

"What's the panic, let your courtyard master go and persuade them, be sure to let them stay for a few more days."

"Master, the monk's apprentice is very fierce, with a stick in his hand, shouting to beat a peach blossom on our heads, and the master of the courtyard is also persuading, but it doesn't work!"

"That's a bit tricky!"

Elder Jin Chi shrank into a ball and sighed.

The tight hoop had already been hidden by him in the Batu Cave 20 miles away, how could he get it?

It was originally going to be delayed for some time.

This level is not easy.

"Master, hurry up and get an idea!"

The little monk was still urging on the side.

"Let your master delay as much as possible, if you can't delay, say that the temple was robbed a few days ago, and the golden hoop ring is gone...... Remember, the face is sad, and the expression should be a little more like. ”

"Ah......h

The little monk didn't expect that after urging for a long time, the master would come up with such a bad idea.

That Tang monk and apprentice are so fierce, such a simple trick will be tricked by the other party?

"Master ......"

"If you want to go, what so much nonsense."

Elder Jinchi's eyes widened, intending to continue pretending to be dead.

Be an old man!

Once raw and twice cooked, you will get used to it after a few more times.

The sky is falling, and there is a high top, anyway, I am an old monk in his 200s who is about to enter the earth.

After Elder Jin Chi urged the little monk away, he pretended to be calm and continued to lean cross-legged on the kang with his eyes closed.

In my heart, I am not very calm.

I don't know if the other party will be fooled.

Half a ring later, there was another trail of footsteps outside the hall.

Elder Jin Chi had already pricked up his ears, and when he saw this, he hurriedly sat up cross-legged.

"How? What did the Tang monk and apprentice say? ”

"Master, as soon as the master of the courtyard said that the temple had entered the thief, he apologized again and again, but he didn't expect the other party to take it seriously, but ......"

"What the hell is going on, you take a breath first, and finish it all at once."

Elder Jin Chi was still suffering from gains and losses in his heart, and he always felt that this Tang monk and apprentice were not stunned, and they were not so easy to deal with.

"Master, the other party said that if something is missing, you have to compensate, and the golden hoop is also a precious thing, which can be used as a family heirloom."

"It should be compensated, I still have some belongings in Guanyin Temple, and I can still afford to pay a gold hoop circle, but the other party has made a bid?"

Elder Jin Chi had expected it, so he didn't panic!

The Tang monk and apprentice said...... said that the set of tea sets that the master had entertained them before was good, with a tray with cups, plus a teapot, just one set. ”

The little monk explained, and at the same time took a sneak peek at Elder Jinchi on the kang.

I saw that the latter had just breathed a sigh of relief, and his brows were furrowed again.

Elder Jin Chi had an ugly expression on his face.

He has been busy all his life, living for more than 200 years, and only accumulating more than 100 robes, all of which can be used in that set of tea sets.

It has always been his heart.

"Alas...... This time, it will be regarded as giving up wealth to eliminate disasters, take out the tea set, and give it to them. ”

Elder Jin Chi quickly made a choice.

"Master, that tea set is your beloved thing."

"When is it, how can you take care of this, let's get through today's hurdle first."

After blasting the little monk away, Elder Jin Chi secretly compared it in his heart, the tea set was made of good materials, mainly because of the fine workmanship, and it looked very good.

It has a high collection value.

For those who are attached to the wind and elegance, there is a great attraction.

It was also with great difficulty for him to get his hands on it.

I didn't expect it to become a wedding dress in a blink of an eye, which cheapened the Tang monk.

Alas!

But in terms of real value, there is still some distance from the golden hoop circle.

This wave, no loss.

When the turmoil passed, he sent away Tang Seng and his apprentices, and then went to the Batu Cave to find the black bear spirit and ask for the golden hoop ring back.

Elder Jin Chi thought about it for a moment, and quickly stabilized his mind.

Send the other party away with a set of tea sets, which is still acceptable.

He steadied himself and continued to close his eyes.

After a while, the little monk who had left just now ran back.

"Master, it's not good, after the holy monk apprentice got the tea set, he still refused to give up, saying that the golden hoop ring is a treasure, and a mere set of tea sets can't compensate them for their losses, and he also wants two horses from the Western Regions."

"Two horses?"

Elder Jin Chi was stunned, and subconsciously calculated in his heart.

The value of a horse is about 200 taels of silver, and if it is a horse, the value is directly tripled, that is, between 500 taels and 600 taels.

If there are two horses, that is more than 1,000 taels.

It just so happened that there were a few horses in the Guanyin Temple.

"Hiss......"

Elder Jin Chi gritted his teeth, and the other party's asking price became more and more ruthless every time.

The combined value of these two items alone is no less than the golden hoop.

"Go to the stable and take two horses out and give them to him, just say that my Guanyin Temple admires his demeanor as a Tang Dynasty holy monk, and pity his master and apprentice for traveling thousands of miles, and I specially give them a leg force."

Although Elder Jin Chi was very painful in his heart and was extremely unwilling, he still had to pay attention to his kung fu on the surface.

This horse is not compensating for the loss of the golden hoop, but it is specially given to them, which is love.

I hope they will take care of themselves and quickly pack up their things and get out.

After Elder Jin Chi finished speaking, he saw that the little monk who had passed the word was still standing in the room and had not left, and for a while he had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked dissatisfiedly, "What are you still doing here?" Don't pass the word yet. ”

The little monk glanced at him with resentment, and replied weakly: "Master, you listen to me first, the holy monk apprentice said, in addition to the two horses, you also need 100 catties of rice noodles, 10 catties of salt, and 10 catties of good tea, pack them together, send them to them, and then be willing to leave." ”

"Poof......

Elder Jin Chi only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost didn't catch his breath.

Where is this holy monk who came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, it is clearly a group of robbers.

Half a day later.

Tang Seng led the white dragon horse with a smile like a flower.

He looked at the people who were seeing off behind him, and politely replied: "Please stop, this time, thanks to the teacher's acceptance, before parting, he also gave a generous amount of Cheng Yi, and the poor monk really deserves it." ”

The master of Guanyin Temple led a group of monks, their faces were somewhat ugly, and they watched Tang monks and apprentices out of Guanyin Temple, and their hearts breathed a sigh of relief.

On his face, he also pretended to be atmospheric and replied: "Here in the west, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and a little Cheng Yi is not a respect, I hope that the holy monks and apprentices will go all the way." ”

Hou Fei suddenly turned around and smiled at them, which startled these people a lot.

"Quick, go back quickly, close the door."

When the master of the courtyard saw that the Tang monks and apprentices were coming down the steps, he didn't bother to continue pretending, so he hurriedly drove the monks back and ordered someone to close the door.

That's when I feel a little bit of security.

Some monsters look fierce and evil, but they don't eat people and can still get along.

Some monks have a kind face, but they have thick skin and a black heart, which is more terrible than the man-eating goblin.

"Amitabha, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, this is a long insight."
