Chapter 127
After the monks took Tang Sanzang and the other two to the back room to eat some vegetarian food, Tang Sanzang readily agreed.
As for Sun Wukong and Xiaobailong, they were a little uninterested. What was so good about vegetarian food? How could it be better than blood food?
After Tang Sanzang finished a decent vegetarian meal, he was grateful.
At this time, two young monks came in with an old monk in gorgeous clothes.
The monks who were waiting on the side saw the old monk coming and immediately called him Master!
It turned out that the old monk was the old abbot of the Guanyin Zen Temple.
Tang Sanzang hurriedly stood up and saluted, saying politely: "It turns out that the old abbot is here. I am here to pay my respects!"
Sun Wukong, who was standing by, looked at the old abbot's clothes. They were gorgeous and full of jewels, just like a noble lady behind high walls.
"Just now, I heard from the younger generation that a mage from the East was coming, so I came to see!"
After the old abbot and Tang Sanzang sat down again, the old abbot spoke.
"I am new here and I don't know what is good or bad. Please forgive me, forgive me!"
"I don't deserve it, but I don't know how far it is from the East to here?"
The old abbot seemed to be quite curious about what was happening outside, so he asked Tang Sanzang to see more of what was happening outside.
Tang Sanzang saw that the old abbot was quite old, so he asked, "How old is the old abbot now?"
The old abbot said modestly, "I have only lived for 270 years. It is a great honor to meet the holy monk of the East today!"
"Two...two hundred and seventy!"
Tang Sanzang was just asking casually. He thought that being over 90 was already very impressive. He didn't expect that the old abbot actually lived for 270 years. He was really shocked by his longevity.
Sun Wukong heard this and just chuckled: "You little monk are about the same age as my great-grandson. I guess you have practiced some methods to nourish your spirit and cultivate your qi. But I don't know why you are a monk here. I think you are more suitable to be an old Taoist priest!"
The old dean was a little shocked when he heard what Sun Wukong said. Then he put his hands together and said: "I don't know how old this donor is? But I did receive teachings from an old friend, but I don't know if it is a Taoist method!"
"Hey, I'm afraid you will be scared to death if I tell you my age!"
The old dean thought Sun Wukong was joking and didn't take it seriously. He asked the little monk next to him to serve tea.
One of the two children held a sheep-fat jade plate and the other held a pure white copper pot.
Tang Sanzang saw that the tea set was really extraordinary, and he praised it non-stop, saying: "These are really good things!"
"Hey, such things, I think the holy monk came from the great country of the Celestial Empire, so he must have seen rare treasures. How can such things enter the eyes of the holy monk? I don't know what treasures the holy monk brought from the great country. I wonder if you can show it to me?"
Tang Sanzang shook his head and said: "What a pity, what a pity, I came from the East and didn't bring any good things!"
Sun Wukong laughed and said: "Monk, I see that there is a cassock in your package, which is quite gorgeous, and it must be much better than the one on this old monk!"
Hearing Sun Wukong's words, many monks laughed together, as if they felt that Sun Wukong was overestimating himself.
"If it's a cassock, I have quite a few!"
"How can yours compare to this monk's? This one was given by Guanyin Bodhisattva!"
Sun Wukong waved his hand, asking the old monk to stop showing off. He knew that Tang Sanzang's cassock was given by Guanyin Bodhisattva, so it was not comparable to the cassocks of the mortal world.
The monks who were sneering at first, the proud old monk, were stunned after hearing this.
Tang Sanzang hurriedly stopped Sun Wukong who was about to take out the cassock, and whispered: "Wukong, don't you know what it means to not show off your wealth? If this is seen by greedy people, won't they try to steal it?"
Sun Wukong smiled and said: "Monk, don't worry, I am here, what is there to be afraid of? Besides, Xiaobailong is here too, these ordinary people, even if they like it, can still snatch it away?"
As he said, he opened a corner of the bundle, and a rosy glow shone in an instant, instantly illuminating the whole room with colorful lights.
It is far from the cassock on the old monk.
"What a treasure, what a good cassock!"
When the old dean saw such a cassock, his eyes suddenly moistened and he burst into tears.
Tang Sanzang was stunned and said in shock: "Old dean
, this is..."
The old dean cried and said, "I have lived for so many years, but I have never seen such a precious cassock as the holy monk. Thinking that the holy monk will leave tomorrow, I am afraid that I will miss him day and night in the future, and I am afraid that I will not live long!"
Tang Sanzang was a little at a loss for a while when he heard this.
For a cassock, he said that he would not live long.
However, after seeing this scene, Sun Wukong couldn't help but smile and said, "What do you want to do, little monk?"
The old dean wiped his tears and said, "If you can lend this cassock to me for one night, I promise to return it tomorrow morning! I wonder what the holy monk thinks? "
Tang Sanzang was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes at Sun Wukong. If Sun Wukong hadn't taken it out, this wouldn't have happened.
After all, they were staying overnight and had eaten someone's vegetarian meal. It was obviously inappropriate to refuse directly!
Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Why should I be afraid of him? He just looked at it for one night. But you have to return it to me tomorrow morning. It can't be stained at all!"
The old dean thought he would have to spend some time talking, but he didn't expect this hairy-faced thunder god to agree directly and handed him the cloth bag wrapped in the cassock.
The old dean hurriedly took it, and he still couldn't let it go even through the cloth bag.
The old dean hurriedly asked the monks to make up the beds, and said with a smile, "Then everyone, have a good rest, I won't disturb you! "
Tang Sanzang moved into the guest room, still worried, thinking about the brocade cassock given by the Bodhisattva.
Sun Wukong and the little white dragon Ao Lie were chatting on the side, not caring at all. Although the two knew each other's identity, they still kept it to themselves here. After all, there were many powerful people on the road, and it was inconvenient for them to recognize each other.
"I say, monk, it's getting late, you should rest quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow morning to travel! "
After Sun Wukong reminded him, Tang Sanzang reluctantly turned off the lights and went to sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, in the dead of night, a head suddenly popped out from outside the yard.
This head was a bald head. Looking closely, it was clearly the monk who had met Sun Wukong and his party during the day.
Behind this monk was a fat monk, and behind him were more monks, all holding firewood in their hands, setting them around the guest room.
It ignited instantly, the flames shot up into the sky, directly covering the guest room, and instantly the fire dragon swallowed it up.
