Chapter 91: The Old Monk of the Zen Temple
As soon as you enter the mountain gate, you can only see the four big characters on the main hall, which is the Guanyin Zen Temple.
Then enter the main hall again, and the golden statue of Guanyin standing two feet high on the main hall.
Tang Seng stepped forward to give a salute, and he was grateful to Guanyin.
First, if it weren't for Guanyin, he might have been living in a mess and being manipulated by others.
On the way, Guanyin did help him a lot.
At this time, Sun Wukong had already tied up his horse, put down his luggage and went to the temple with Tang Seng.
And Yu Xin wandered around the Zen Temple.
"What about the old monk who stole the robe?"
Yu Xin walked around the courtyard, but he didn't see the old monk who was in cahoots with the monster.
He was a little curious, why did the old monk cooperate with the monsters?
In the original Journey to the West, the old monk is just a mortal!
In the main hall, the Tang monk burned incense and prayed, expressing his gratitude.
And the monk who brought them into the monastery played a drum in front of him, and Wukong went to hit the bell.
After a while, Tang Seng finished his prayers, and the monk stopped drumming, but Sun Wukong still didn't stop hitting the bell, tight or slow, and hit it for a long time.
The monk boldly said: "The worship has been completed, why are you still hitting the bell?"
Sun Wukong threw the bell pestle and looked at the monk smiling and preparing to say something.
"You certainly don't know that monkeys are called being a monk hitting a bell for a day. ”
Yu Xin walked over and said loudly, and Sun Wukong, who was robbed of his lines, was angry.
At this time, the monks and elders of the upper and lower rooms in the temple who were alarmed by the bell came together.
One of the elders shouted, "What are the bells and drums beating here from the wild people from there?"
Yu Xin looked at this Sun Wukong with a smile, Sun Wukong jumped forward aggressively, and shouted with his hands on his hips: "It's your grandfather and I who played it." ”
The monks were startled by Sun Wukong's ugly appearance, stumbled, crawled on the ground, and shouted: "Grandpa Lei!"
Yu Xin carefully looked at Wukong's appearance, and his mouth shrunk his cheeks.
Not to mention, it's really a little similar to Lei Gong's birdman.
Wukong's anger was provoked even more vigorously by Yu Xin's eyes.
But he sprinkled this anger on the monks, only to hear Wukong scolding: "Lei Gong is my great-grandson." ”
Tang Seng walked over slowly, pushed Wukong away, and helped the monks up.
"Get up, don't be afraid, we are from the Tang Dynasty, not some demons. ”
The monks saluted and saw Tang Seng, and they were all relieved not to be afraid.
Because although Yu Xin has a human appearance, his appearance is young, so he is naturally not as reliable as Tang Seng.
And Tang Seng is also a monk! Naturally, he has a sense of intimacy.
The host of the Zen monastery invited sideways: "Please also go to the back to drink tea." ”
Tang Seng nodded and walked in the direction of the host's finger.
Wukong no longer took care of the monks to untie the horses and took the luggage,
Turning around the main hall, he went straight into the back room and divided his seats.
The host arranged for the novice to bring tea, and then asked the room to arrange a meal.
At this time, it was not yet dark, and Tang Seng's words of thanks had not yet been finished.
Then I saw two little novices, carrying an old monk out.
The old monk wore a square hat on his head, and the cat's eye gem on the top was shining.
He wears a short shirt made of brocade collar.
The side of the shirt is shiny with gold threads, and there are eight kinds of precious stones on a pair of monk's shoes at his feet.
With a cane in his hand, his face was wrinkled and hunched over.
"Shizu is here. ”
When the monks saw the old monk, they hurriedly shouted.
"Old monk, come out. ”
Yu Xin raised his eyebrows, thinking in his heart.
Tang Seng bowed down and saluted: "Disciple, I have seen the old host. ”
The old monk did not rely on the old man and sold the old, and only sat down after returning the salute.
"Just now, a little monk said that there are high monks from the Eastern Tutang Dynasty, and I just came out to meet them. ”
After sitting down, the old monk looked at Tang Seng and said.
Tang Seng put down the teacup and said softly: "If you enter the treasure temple without permission, don't blame you for disturbing it." ”
Sun Wukong turned his head, he really couldn't see Tang Seng's appearance.
He prefers the one in the Five Elements Mountain, the Tang Seng who shows his edge.
"This old guy is no longer human!"
Yu Xin finally understood the strangeness of the old monk.
Don't look at this old monk, he looks like a human now, but his body has decayed, and he relies on a chaotic vitality to maintain his life.
However, this has nothing to do with Yu Xin, and Yu Xin didn't bother to say it.
If you say it, you may even cause yourself some trouble.
Hearing Tang Seng's words, the old monk said: "No, no!"
Then he asked curiously: "Dare to ask the monk, how much distance is there in total from Dongtu to here?"
Tang Seng thought for a moment, and said while recalling:
"Out of the border of Chang'an, there is a road of more than 5,000 miles;
After crossing the Two Realms Mountain, he received a small apprentice, and along the way, he traveled through the country of Xifanha.
After another two months, about five or six thousand miles, it took me to reach Guibaosi. ”
The old monk exclaimed: "That's also thousands of miles away."
Pity my disciples for spending their lives in vain, and they have never gone out of the mountain gate.
Probably the kind of person who sits in the well and watches the sky!. ”
Tang Seng didn't want to discuss this topic, so he turned to the old monk and asked, "How long will the old host live this year?"
When the monks heard this, they all laughed. Just when Tang Seng was confused, the old monk said with some pride: "Kong lived two hundred and seventy years old. ”
Sun Wukong complained: "At this age, it's about the same as my grandchildren." ”
The monks were angry, if it weren't for the old monk to hold them, I am afraid they would have to fight with Sun Wukong.
"Don't talk too much"
Tang Seng shouted to Sun Wukong, and Wukong had no choice but to say nothing.
A monk looked at Sun Wukong curiously and asked, "Dare to ask the elder, how old are you?"
Wukong waved his hand and said, "Don't dare to say it." Don't dare to say. ”
The old monk glanced back at Sun Wukong, but when Sun Wukong said a crazy thing, he didn't mind and didn't pay attention to him anymore.
The old monk suddenly drank to the little novice: "Offer tea"
The little novice hurriedly turned around, and after a while, the little novice held a plate of mutton fat jade in his hand.
There are also three blue gold-encrusted teacups in it.
Beside him was another small novice, who was carrying a white copper kettle.
Xiao Shami poured four cups of fragrant tea, which were more colorful than pomegranate flowers and more fragrant than osmanthus flowers.
"Good stuff, good stuff, what a gourmet thing!"
Tang Seng praised constantly, and the old monk's eyes were slight.
Yu Xin tasted the fragrant tea, and Sun Wukong spit it out directly after taking a sip.
Seeing Sun Wukong's actions, the monks were furious and opened their mouths to scold.
None of them could taste the fragrant tea, but this monkey turned out to be like this.
The old monk waved his hand to stop it, and then said to Tang Seng: "It's really dirty! The monk is from the Heavenly Empire, and he must have read all the treasures, and this little fragrant tea will definitely insult the monk."
Why don't the monks take out a few treasures and let me wait for those who sit in the well and watch the sky to open my eyes. ”
All the monks echoed one after another, looking at that, if Tang Seng couldn't take out the treasure, I was afraid that he would be ridiculed.
Tang Seng was explaining that he didn't have any treasures.
Sun Wukong wanted to get the robe.
