Chapter 5: A Mysterious Man Emerges

"She is my father's cousin, the daughter of the Dragon King of Luo, Ao Yu, my cousin, who has been proficient in Buddhism since she was a child, and has followed Guanyin Bodhisattva to cultivate." On the way, Ao Lie had already regained his original face, and followed behind Tang Xuan to introduce the situation of the girl before.

Tang Xuan frowned slightly, "What is the purpose of your constant rambling?" Bribing me with beauty? Sorry, not interested. ”

Ao Lie hurriedly explained: "The disciple doesn't dare, it's just... I just think that in the future, after we obtain the true scriptures and achieve positive results, we will know more acquaintances, and we will have a good understanding in Buddhism. ”

"Xiaobai, there is no need to worry about this, for your sake, I will naturally take care of her if I have the opportunity, for example, to make her a bodhisattva?"

Looking at the master's back, Ao Lie was so frightened that he was about to petrify.

What do you mean? Isn't the position of a bodhisattva only the Buddha qualified to be enthroned?

This mortal master who just worshipped is so ambitious! Is it to learn from the scriptures, or to usurp the throne?

"What's the fuss? Xiaobai, hurry up! ”

Tang Xuan found that there was a Zen courtyard in the valley ahead, and was about to ask his apprentices to go and call the door, but he saw that Wukong was the only one beside him, and Ao Lie was already lagging behind, so he urged.

The sun was setting in the west, and the light was getting late, dyeing a cloud red on the horizon.

From a distance, it is a temple covered with frost and cold, revealing the artistic conception of ancient Zen, but in fact it is a dirty and despicable place.

Tang Xuan smiled secretly, knowing that the presiding officer had collected a lot of treasures, and was going to rob the rich and help the poor, of course, this poor word must refer to the meaning of the poor monk.

Ao Lie stepped forward and knocked on the door, and Goku stood on the side, looking scary and not showing his face.

The door was opened by a small novice.

He saw Ao Lie outside the door dressed in brocade and jade face, dressed as a rich son, and then Tang Xuan was even more a monk, so his eyes lit up, and he asked enthusiastically: "How many of you are tired from the journey?" Come to the courtyard to rest, the little monk will be entertained with tea. ”

When Sun Wukong then walked through the door, he startled the little novice, but soon returned to normal.

Tang Xuan's master and apprentice sat down in the hall of the palace, and after the two little novices served tea, they supported a hunchbacked old monk and walked in slowly.

took a sip of tea and ignored him.

The old monk was unhappy and felt unrespected, "You monk, where did you come from?" People who don't know etiquette, how can they enter my Guanyin Zen Temple? ”

"The Tang Dynasty from the east is here, and you want to see the Buddha in the west, what advice do you have?"

The old monk instantly smiled on his face, and greeted him with his palms together: "It turned out that the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty was here, and he didn't dare to give advice, he didn't dare to give advice!" ”

"Your robe is good, and the workmanship is exquisite, but it's a pity..."Tang Xuan stirred up the topic while sipping tea.

"What a pity?"

Seeing that the old monk had already been put on the set, Tang Xuan said slowly: "It's a pity that it looks vulgar and not up to the grade." Wukong, take out the robe from my package and let them see it! ”

Wukong was a little puzzled, and didn't ask much, took out his robe from the bag and shook it open.

Suddenly, the room was filled with red light, and the court was full of color, making people unable to open their eyes.

"Do you want it?"

The old monk really couldn't resist the temptation, and nodded frantically.

"Then what can you come up with in exchange for this immortal robe?" Tang Xuan's voice sounded in the old monk's ears like a demonic whisper.

The old monk bit his lip tightly, as if he was making up some kind of determination, and in a short time, about thirty large boxes were brought in.

Open the lid, except for a box of money tickets, the rest are various forms of robes, mutton fat jade plates, French blue inlaid with gold tea clocks, white copper ornaments, all of which are some mortal luxury.

The old monk knelt down to Tang Xuan, and said with tears in his eyes, "The old monk's collection for most of his life is here, I wonder if he can exchange it for a fairy robe?" ”

However, Tang Xuan shook his head, "No, what's the use of me with these heavy objects like you?" Is it dragged to the west sky? ”

"That's... I don't know what the holy monk needs? ”

Tang Xuan stepped on the box full of silver tickets, "Ask for money!" You exchange all your other things for a silver ticket that can be used in the world, and I will exchange it with you, and give you a day, and I will leave before noon tomorrow. ”

"Yes, yes, the old monk will deal with the arrangement."

The old monk asked people to take the rest of the boxes and leave quickly, and when he left, he instructed the little novice to entertain Tang Xuan's master and apprentice.

When he came to the specially placed backyard house, Ao Lie closed the doors and windows before carefully asking, "Master, you don't really plan to sell the robe to them, do you?" ”

"Your personality is too simple, you have to change, this question is answered by Goku." Tang Xuan lay comfortably on the wooden bed, squinting his eyes slightly.

Sun Wukong was stuffing the silver ticket in the box into the package, and when he heard this, he raised his head and smiled: "Don't sell, don't sell, it is estimated that the master is just to cheat a sum of money, so that we can eat and drink in the city in the future." ”

"Look at the consciousness of other people's Wukong, are you ashamed? As a disciple of my sect, you don't have to worry about those rules and regulations, you can just live comfortably. Tang Xuan lazily turned to the side and continued to educate the little white dragon Ao Lie.

"But... I don't think that old monk is a good person, in case... What if you change your mind, cry and make trouble tomorrow, and don't let us go? ”

Tang Xuan turned over and sat up, covering his forehead with a helpless expression, "Xiaobai, do you dare to think of others a little worse?" For example, they will take advantage of the middle of the night to kill us and snatch the robes, if this is the case, then Wukong, you will kill them, if the old monk really comes tomorrow with a lot of silver tickets, just find a stone and turn a robe into a robe for him, no matter what, we have now obtained a box of money, and we will not suffer. ”

After hearing this, Ao Lie felt that his three views were shattered.

This... Is it really a Buddhist monk? How to act more like a style of... Demons and monsters!

However, I have to say that there is such a master on the stall.

It feels great!

After all, no one wants to be subject to those rules.

"But, Buddha... Won't you blame us? Ao Lie was still a little worried.

Tang Xuan pursed his lips and lay down again: "If I guessed correctly, now should be the period of the Tribulation, the heavens are obscure, and even the saints can't calculate these trivial things, not to mention how fat he is...... Cough! In short, we must understand a truth, the general trend of heaven and earth cannot be changed, and it doesn't matter if it is small, just wave. ”

"What kind of robbery?" Ao Lie and Wukong both asked questions at the same time, which obviously involved their knowledge blind spots.

"Another catastrophe after the catastrophe of the gods, the journey to the west, since then Buddhism has flourished, and entered the era of the end of the law, I don't know how to explain it, let's sleep first! It's rare to have a room to sleep in, and you don't have to sleep in the mountains and forests. Tang Xuan closed his eyes and prepared to rest for a while.

A few hours later.

The entire Guanyin Zen Monastery was full of fire, and the smell of blood was permeated.

Sun Wukong shook Tang Xuan awake: "Master, something happened." ”

Tang Xuan sat up with sleepy eyes, sniffed his nose, and immediately became full of energy, and asked Xiang Wukong: "A lot of people died, did you do it?" ”

"I didn't do it, it was done by the guy in black in the air." Wukong shook his head, then looked out the window with a solemn expression.

Tang Xuan was taken aback, and then looked over.

Outside the window, a middle-aged man in black stood suspended in the air, and the man indifferently watched the sea of fire churning under his feet.

What's the situation?

Where did this big guy come from?

Perhaps sensing Tang Xuan's gaze, he turned his head, smiled evilly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Six-winged Golden Cicada, congratulations, you have finally woken up!" ”
