Tang Seng watched the lively election process, pondered for a long time, and then found the Taoist priests!

The Taoist priest saw Tang Seng and smiled: "I didn't expect to see a fellow Taoist!" ”

Tang Seng said: "Your Excellency also has mana in your body, why do you want to become a mountain god!" ”

The Taoist priest smiled bitterly: "Look at Your Excellency's appearance, it is obviously a powerful monk, I don't understand the pain of our low-level monks at all, I have been cultivating for 30 years, but even now I can't break through the realm of Qi cultivation, if there is no accident, Xiaodao only has a lifespan of a few decades, and becoming a mountain god, Xiaodao can have an extra hundred years of life and accumulate merits!" After reincarnation, maybe there will be a better cultivation talent in the next life! ”

Speaking of this, the Taoist priest sneered and said: "This is still the benefit of His Majesty the Emperor, if he hadn't overthrown all the gods, I wouldn't have the chance I have now, you must know that in the past, even an ungraded immortal like the mountain god land could not have a share of a person like me!" ”

Sun Wukong said with a smile: "Little Taoist, you actually lied, since you only have the level of Qi training, how can you do everything you just said!" ”

The Taoist priest said indifferently: "The mountain god has the authority to change the topography of a mountain, but the previous mountain god would not waste divine power like this, but I don't live completely by divine power, and accumulating merit is the most important thing." ”

Sun Wukong smiled: "This is what a god should be, those old and immortal people in the past are just a ghost!" ”

After the exchange, the two left the village.

Sun Wukong said: "Although it's messy, it looks good, at least the newly elected god wants to do things!" ”

Tang Seng could only say: "See people's hearts for a long time!" ”

Sun Wukong asked, "Let's continue to Chang'an?" ”

Tang Seng said: "Let's go to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple!" ”

This is where Tang Seng used to translate scriptures, and it is his hometown.

The two entered Chang'an City and soon found the original Great Ci'en Temple.

It's just that in the past, the incense of the Great Ci'en Temple was prosperous, people came and went, and even the streets outside the temple were about to become commercial streets, and now when Tang Seng and they came over, they couldn't even see a few people on the road.

And the inside of the Great Ci'en Temple is extremely quiet, which makes Tang Seng full of emotion, you must know that there were hundreds of monks in the Great Ci'en Temple, and now I am afraid that there is no one anymore!

The two pushed open the door.

But he didn't expect a monk's voice to come from inside: "Who! ”

Tang Seng immediately said: "The poor monk is a wandering monk who wants to place an order!" ”

At this time, a middle-aged monk came out, he looked at Tang Seng and Sun Wukong and said: "It's okay to place an order, you can just find a room to live in, but you have to get your own food, our temple can't afford to raise idlers!" ”

Sun Wukong said with a smile: "My old Sun Jin's temple is not a thousand or eight hundred, I haven't seen a poor temple, not to mention that you are a temple that covers a vast area, this is Chang'an City, you actually said that you can't afford to raise idlers, are you a monk too picky!" ”

The middle-aged monk smiled bitterly: "That was before, the current emperor doesn't like us monks, he said that we want to support ourselves, now even the money and items donated by believers must be registered for charity, we dare to move, all according to corruption and corruption!" ”

Sun Wukong was surprised: "This is too much." We are monks and not officials, how can we use the crime of embezzlement, which is obviously for officials! ”

But the monk smiled bitterly: "Our current monks can still be regarded as managers, and the little monk can also be regarded as a nine-grade monk in the imperial court!" ”

Sun Wukong said: "Then it is even more impossible for you to be poor, how can you be poor as an official!" ”

The monk said: "But we monks have no rights, and the nine rank officials in Chang'an City are only enough for poor monks to starve to death." ”

Tang Seng understood the price of prices in Chang'an City and helped the monk explain: "Chang'an rice is expensive, and the price of the nine grades is really not high!" ”

It's just that in the depths of his heart, Tang Seng is even more sad, Daci'en Temple can be regarded as one of the few temples in the world, and they are all so bad, and the temples in other places in Datang will only be worse than this!

Sun Wukong looked at the empty temples around him and said, "If you rent out some rooms here, you won't have money." ”

But the monk said solemnly: "The Buddha gate is pure, how can it be rented out!" ”

Sun Wukong was speechless, he could see that this monk was very stubborn and would not change easily!

Then the monk took Tang Seng to a relatively intact room and said: "This is where you live, you clean up, and the poor monk will help you get the bedding!" ”

Tang Seng immediately began to clean the room.

Sun Wukong said: "Master, let's let Lao Sun come!" ”

But Tang Seng stopped Sun Wukong's spell casting, and wanted to do it himself!

After the whole room is planned, it looks like it can barely accommodate people.

At this time, the door was opened again, and a younger monk smiled happily: "Senior brother, today the junior brother went to Wang Yuanwai's house to give a lecture, Wang Yuanwai was so generous, he actually gave a piece of mana crystal, it is said that there is a year of monk's mana, if it is sold it is worth more than 100 taels!" ”

When the monk heard this, he was pleasantly surprised: "Great, so we have the money to repair the temple!" ”

But Sun Wukong said strangely: "Two masters, what is a mana crystal?" ”

Only then did the young monk discover that there were outsiders.

His senior brother said: "This is the monk who came to our temple to place an order!" ”

Only then did the young monk say to Sun Wukong: "Mana crystallization is money between monks, this is still a new thing that appeared after the new human emperor occupied Chang'an City, and it is even more important than money, after all, money is still easy to earn, but mana crystals are not so easy, even monks rarely take it out and use it!" ”

Sun Wukong looked at the glass beads of the young monk and said with a smile: "Isn't this just a little mana, I didn't expect it to be so valuable now, if you really say so, Lao Sun and I can be regarded as a family with a lot of money!" ”

The young monk looked at Sun Wukong and said: "You are a monkey demon, you think you have a little mana, but the poor monk still has to advise you, if you want to go far on the road of cultivation, you still have to consume less mana, don't always fight and kill, this has no future!" ”

was actually educated, Sun Wukong was unconvinced: "You don't even have mana!" ”

The young monk was dumbfounded!

Tang Seng immediately dissuaded: "Wukong, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Then he apologized to the two monks: "My apprentice is straightforward, not on purpose!" However, the poor monk simply lived in the Great Ci'en Temple, and you monks in the Great Ci'en Temple can practice, but you have no mana at all! ”

At this time, the middle-aged monk said helplessly: "Hundreds of years of troubled times have made the inheritance of our Great Ci'en Temple have long been broken, and now the helpless senior brothers don't know how to cultivate at all and can only chant the scriptures, but even now even quiet chanting is a luxury." ”
