Chapter 176: Eighteen Years Later
"Jiang Liuer...... Good name! Master, look, this little baby also likes this name very much! Just now, he still looked sluggish, and when he heard this name, he immediately opened his eyes!"
The little monk admired in his mouth and said in surprise to the old monk.
The old monk stretched out his head and leaned over, and sure enough, he saw Xiao Chenyou's eyes wide-eyed, with a look of "shock".
"Hehe, I'm afraid that I was frightened in the river, and I suddenly woke up at this time, and I felt palpitations in my heart. ”
The old monk smiled, stroked the short beard under his chin and smiled.
"Palpitations, your sister......"
Chen You's heart at the moment was stirring up stormy waves.
For Jinshan Temple, he already felt a little familiar, and at this time he added the name "Jiang Liu'er", if he still can't react, then he is not Chenyou.
Jinshan Temple ...... Jiang Liuer......
Isn't this Tang Sanzang, the origin of Tang monks?
"How can this Tang monk's life experience be ...... How did it fall on my 'natal golden baby'......"
Chen You's mind was racing, his mouth was wide open, his eyes were wide, and his face was dumbfounded.
He didn't have a good impression of Monk Tang, and even before entering the Journey to the West, he asked the white bone spirit to be careful of Tang Seng and never provoke him.
When Xing'er returned to the world of Journey to the West, he also instructed in every way, saying, "Monk Tang is not a good person, remember to stay away." ”
I don't know if this counts, so I'm cocooning myself......
"Hehe, no matter what, this little baby has a different reaction to this name, so it's decided, just call him 'Jiang Liu'er'!"
At this time, the old monk pinched Chenyou's little face with a slight look on his face, and finally made a decision to set the tone.
......
"Elder, the elder is not good, Xuanzang is in the Golden Buddha Hall again, openly stealing chicken legs......"
A young monk in his twenties stumbled through the courtyard and ran into a meditation room.
At this moment, in this meditation room, there is an old monk with a white beard, sitting cross-legged on the futon and meditating and chanting.
Hearing this, the old monk slowly opened his eyes, and after glancing at the young monk, he said slowly: "Xuanming, can you see clearly?"
"Hmm!"
The young monk nodded heavily, and continued indignantly: "Xuanzang is the next abbot designated by the elders, if the disciple hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would naturally not dare to falsely accuse him...... Xuanzang not only openly ate chicken legs in the Golden Buddha Hall, but also smeared the chicken fat on the body of the Golden Buddha at will, and said something in his mouth, "The golden body of the Golden Buddha has faded, just to make up for it with this thing......"
When the old monk sitting cross-legged on the ground heard this, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.
"You come with me. ”
The old monk got up and hurried straight to the Golden Buddha Hall.
Before arriving at the Golden Buddha Hall, a noisy sound rushed towards him.
I saw that inside and outside the Buddha hall, dozens of monks were standing around, with different expressions on their faces, but everyone seemed to be indignant.
"Elder. ”
"The Elder is here. ”
......
Seeing the old monk coming, all the monks saluted and made way for a road.
The old monk walked through the crowd and entered the Buddha hall.
Above the Buddha hall, a young monk wearing a moon-white monk's robe was turning his left hand upside down, shaking his head and muttering something in front of the Buddha.
The old monk's face sank, and he said in a deep voice to the young monk's back: "Xuanzang, what are you doing?"
Hearing this, the young monk named Xuanzang slowly turned his body.
Glancing at the monks inside and outside the hall, Xuanzang saluted the old monk with one palm, and then said with a smile: "Master, the disciple suddenly realized the 'Miscellaneous Ahan Sutra' last night, and he came to the Buddha early this morning to visit the Buddha. ”
"What nonsense! Elder, please see, what Xuanzang is holding in his right hand is not a leftover chicken leg, what is it?"
Monk Xuanming, who was following the old monk, was indignant, took a step forward, and poked at Xuanzang and shouted.
"Chicken legs?hehe, Senior Brother Xuanming misunderstood. This is my newly developed 'vegetarian ham', and I am about to send the ingredients to the soup kitchen and make it in large quantities. ”
Xuanzang glanced at Monk Xuanming, and then took a big bite and said with a smile on top of the remaining "chicken legs".
All of a sudden, the whole hall was filled with the smell of meat.
Xuanzang, as the next generation of abbots, you have blatantly violated the precepts of Buddhism, I think you should be expelled from the master and driven out of Jinshan Temple immediately!"
Xuanming was furious, and hit the "chicken leg" in Xuanzang's hand.
Xuanzang was not angry, he just withdrew his hand at will, dodged his blow, and then shook the "chicken leg" in his hand with a smile and said: "Chicken leg is still vegetarian ham, you can ask Senior Brother Xuanming to taste and identify it yourself." ”
"Uh......"
Xuan Ming was slightly stunned.
"The Buddha said that everything is illusory. Everything has a way of doing things, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such. Chicken leg or vegetarian ham, Senior Brother Xuanming, why bother with the appearance?"
Xuanzang smiled slightly, and took a big bite on the remaining "chicken legs".
"Shh......h
The monks in the hall looked at each other, and for a while, they were all a little dumbfounded.
Even the current presiding officer of Jinshan Temple, "Elder Fa Ming", who was standing in front of the monks, also showed a thoughtful look.
"Xuanzang come with me, and the others continue the morning class. ”
After a moment of silence, Fa Ming turned around and walked out of the Golden Buddha Hall.
......
Outside Elder Fa Ming's meditation room, the cyan flame in Xuanzang's hand flashed, and he immediately turned the things in his hand, I don't know whether it was "chicken legs" or "vegetarian ham", into ashes.
In the meditation room, Elder Fa Ming looked at this "Jiang Liu'er" who he had rescued from the river since he was a child, and was silent for a long time.
After a long time, Fa Ming slowly spoke: "Liu'er, open the bookcase and bring me the wooden box at the end of the second square." ”
"Obey the teacher's orders. ”
Xuanzang grinned and came to the bookcase.
At the end of the second compartment of the bookcase, there is indeed a quaint wooden box.
Xuanzang took it out and handed it to Fa Ming.
"You, open it yourself. ”
Fa Ming didn't reach out to take it.
Xuanzang was slightly stunned, but still opened the wooden box as he said.
I saw that inside, it was a red belly pocket, and it was already a silk bloody coat.
Xuanzang's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a wave in his heart again.
"In the past eighteen years, you have never asked about your background, and Master has never mentioned it...... Today, Master believes that it is time to uncover this secret. ”
Fa Ming said with a flat expression.
"My Background ......"
At this moment, Xuanzang, that is, Chenyou, who entered the Journey to the West world in the form of a natal golden baby, was a little speechless.
"See for yourself. ”
Fa Ming nodded slightly, pointed to the bloody clothes, and closed his eyes.
Do you still need to watch it?
The things inside, Chen You may know better than anyone else.
In the dark, a curtain is destined to open.
It's slowly pulling away.
