The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 69 0069, Guanyin Temple on Heifeng Mountain
Leaving Shepan Mountain and entering Heifeng Mountain, Little White Dragon was quite silent all the way.Maybe he acquiesced to his own destiny, and didn't want to like chatting like he did at the beginning.Brother Hou and I flew back and forth in the air, while the little white dragon ran wildly on the ground with Tang Seng on his back.

The ancients had good horses, which could travel thousands of miles a day and eight hundred nights. If they had seen the strength of the little white dragon, they would definitely modify this sentence.

Xiaobailong's stamina is very good, and he has enough explosive power.But he can run hundreds of miles in one breath, but Tang Seng on horseback can't bear it.He is the most hypocritical monk I have ever seen, always resting and eating.And he never does it himself, he just asks Brother Monkey to help him settle it.

There is a monastery on Heifeng Mountain. Monk Tang got off his horse and walked towards the gate of the monastery.When he left Dongtu Tang, he made great wishes to Bodhisattvas.On the way to the west, you will meet temples, worship temples, and sweep pagodas.This was the first monastery he saw after leaving Dongtu Tang, and it felt inexplicably familiar to him.

I heard that a monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty came, and all the monks from Guanyin Temple gathered together.They all wanted to see what Tang Seng looked like, especially when they saw Brother Monkey with a hairy face and a thunderous mouth, they all admired Tang Seng.I'm afraid it's short of a big gift to Tang Seng directly. Who has ever seen a monk who goes out with a monkey.

The abbot of Guanyin Temple is surnamed Jin, and monks like to call him Elder Jinchi.Elder Jinchi has been in my Buddhist sect for more than 200 years. He has become attached to the Buddha since he was a child.After growing up, he entered Guanyin Temple, and then became the abbot of Guanyin Temple.

Elder Jinchi looks like a 80-230-year-old man, but his actual age is [-]-[-] years old.Many monks in the temple call him the elder, and many pilgrims outside the temple call him Renrui.

An abbot of a monastery who has lived for more than 200 years saw Tang monks and disciples really ignoring their clothes.He had heard of the name Dongtu Tang, but it was too far away from Guanyin Temple.Moreover, Tang Seng said that he was going to the west to worship Buddha and seek scriptures, so Elder Jin Chi disliked Tang Seng even more.

A monk with delicate skin and tender flesh threatened to go to the west on foot.Doesn't he know how far the West Paradise is from here, doesn't he know how many demons and ghosts there are on the West Paradise Road?

Elder Jin Chi ordered someone to prepare a fast meal, and then went back to his room.Simple tea and light food are the rules in the monastery. After all, they are all practicing penance to the end of the day, so how can they eat like ordinary people.Tang Seng ate with relish, but Brother Hou didn't move his chopsticks.When he entered the temple earlier, he saw the monks eating in the temple. At that time, he was quite envious of the good life of the monks in this temple.

Why did they come to their place, and they were served such unsightly, simple food.There was a smell of rice porridge, blackened steamed buns, sour pickles, and those two broken bowls that hadn't been washed for an unknown amount of time.Practitioners don't pay much attention to food and clothing, but this Elder Jinchi seems to look down on them.

Those rubbish things came to entertain them, but Tang Seng still ate them with great relish.After driving for half a day, even though he had been carried by the little white dragon, he was already tired, and it was good enough to have something to eat.Now that he has free time to worry about these things, let's eat first and then talk.

Brother Hou walked out of the meditation room and went straight to the stable where Xiao Bailong was.There are three well-maintained horses in the stables of Guanyin Temple. They should be well-trained veterans.If it was a horse raised by an ordinary family, it would be impossible to sing like this after seeing the little white dragon.If it wasn't for the little white dragon to stop them, perhaps the three horses would have summoned the monk long ago.

Transforming back into human form, Xiao Bailong and Brother Monkey sat side by side on the roof of the stable.Watching the monks walking around in the front yard, Brother Hou was the first to break the silence.

He felt a little sorry for Xiao Bailong, although two days had passed, but he was still thinking about the things Guanyin Bodhisattva said.Xiao Bailong was trapped by love, and finally gave up everything because of the princess of the human world.If it wasn't for the princess of the human world, the little white dragon wouldn't have ended up like this.

Although they are done by different people, Brother Hou and Xiao Bailong have similar experiences.Since they are both descended from the end of the world, they naturally have a common language when they are together.Coupled with his dislike for Elder Jinchi, Brother Hou complained about all the monks in Guanyin Temple.

Xiao Bailong was a little surprised, someone came to the stables to feed the horses just now.The forage used is very good, if it is divided according to the level of forage in the human world, those can be regarded as at least the upper middle.Ordinary people can't afford that kind of forage, and only some relatively wealthy families can afford that kind of forage.

How can people eat poor fodder when feeding horses with high-quality fodder?After listening to Xiao Bailong's words, Brother Hou's mood became even worse.It turned out that it was exactly as he thought, Elder Jin Chi didn't take them seriously at all.Since this guy looks down on people, Brother Hou doesn't mind letting him learn more.

After leaving the stable and returning to the meditation room, Brother Hou asked the monks outside to invite Elder Jinchi, saying that there was something for Elder Jinchi to look at.They are all from the countryside and have never seen the world. I hope that Elder Jinchi can help identify them.

Tang Seng didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Brother Hou's gourd, but he also felt a little disgusted with the simple food on the table.I was too hungry just now so I didn't care about it, but now I'm basically full, and it's really unsightly to look at the food on the table.This is obviously giving them food, which is not like the possessions that a merciful monastery should have.

Elder Jinchi reluctantly came to the Zen room, and Brother Hou closed the door mysteriously.After rummaging through the suitcase for a while, he took out the brocade cassock that Tang Seng liked the most.The nine-ring tin rod has been ruined by Tang Seng to the point of disrepute. If you don't know how to cherish it or maintain it, even the best things will soon be turned into rubbish.

Holding the brocade cassock in his hands, Elder Jinchi squinted his eyes and remained silent.The light in the room was too dim, and he couldn't see what Brother Hou was holding clearly.With a sneer at the corner of his mouth, Brother Hou suddenly opened the Jinlan cassock.

It was like daylight in the meditation room, and Elder Jin Chi couldn't open his eyes.Covering his eyes with his hands and looking through his fingers, he saw that brocade cassock was emitting a dazzling golden light.Each golden thread exudes golden light, like a bright pearl in the dark night.After only laying it out for a few minutes, Brother Hou immediately took back the cassock and put it in the suitcase.

Elder Jinchi's complexion gradually changed, and finally he showed a very kind expression before speaking.He ordered people to replace the previous meals immediately, and admitted that his brain was a little slow when he got old.How could he use those meals to entertain the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty? He immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare vegetarian meals for the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty.

There was a little more smile on his face, and the tone of Elder Jin Chi's speech became much more respectful.Tang Seng couldn't stand Elder Jinchi's enthusiasm, so he had to chat with him about Buddhism and scriptures.This aspect is Tang Seng's strong point, not to mention an elder of Jinchi.Even if it is three or five more, it is not a problem.

Putting on a table of sumptuous vegetarian feast, Brother Hou couldn't wait to enjoy it.After eating so much Tang Seng just now, he actually wiped out ordinary meals.Elder Jin Chi sat aside and laughed without saying a word, and waited until the master and apprentice had finished eating, then ordered someone to clean up the dishes and invite the two to sit in the meeting hall.

Elder Jin Chi reminded Brother Hou not to forget to bring that cassock with him when he went out.He is going to give a lecture to the monks in the temple today in the meeting hall, and he hopes that the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty will be able to attend with the cassock on the boat.

Brother Hou doesn't care about being in the limelight, but Tang Seng, who always likes to be lively, is very concerned.Originally, Brother Hou was going to reject him. After all, the brocade cassock is a treasure, so wearing it like this for people to watch may cause unnecessary trouble in the end.

Brother Hou was very thoughtful, otherwise he wouldn't just show it to Elder Jin Chi.But Tang Seng didn't care so much, he immediately agreed to Elder Jinchi's request.He couldn't wait to put on the brocade cassock, and followed Elder Jinchi to the meeting hall.The place was already full of monks, and they were basically monks who had practiced in Guanyin Temple for more than ten years.

Elder Jinchi taught the Dharma, and the middle monks listened to the Dharma with great concentration.This is a compulsory course that Guanyin Temple has long been used to, but today, with Tang Seng present, Elder Jinchi did not teach the Dharma, but asked Tang Seng to come on stage to explain to the monks.The monks in the audience can ask questions freely, and then the monk Tang will answer them one by one.

Dressed in a dazzling brocade cassock, holding a golden staff with nine rings.At this time, Tang Seng was like the reincarnation of the Buddha, and the audience was stunned as soon as he appeared.Many monks didn't listen to what he said, but just stared at the cassock on Tang Seng's body with wide eyes.It was indeed a treasure, the reflection of the two oil lamps in the brocade cassock made the entire meeting hall as bright as day.

Elder Jin Chi stood aside and nodded slightly, and this was considered to have achieved his desired goal.Brother Hou was a little proud standing aside, who doesn't like being admired and admired by others.Even if the cassock is not his own, but at least that cassock belongs to his master.The master and the apprentice belong to a team, and the master is equivalent to the apprentice.And if you look at Elder Jinchi's expression at this time, Brother Hou really felt satisfied.

Elder Jin Chi stared at Tang Seng, but he didn't think about the scriptures Tang Seng said at all, but was thinking about another thing he thought was more important.

During the intermission, Brother Hou asked Tang Seng to replace the brocade cassock. Wearing it for a while will show off, and it will easily cause trouble when you wear it again.How could Tang Seng listen to Brother Hou? He insisted on waiting until the lecture was over before changing. Nine cows would not be able to pull back what he decided.Anyway, he didn't leave the Guanyin Temple, so Brother Hou could only acquiesce in his approach.

As the sky was getting darker, Tang Seng explained many doubts for everyone.Someone saluted Tang Seng, and Tang Seng returned the salute with a smile.Today he has regained the image of an eminent monk in the Tang Dynasty. Trekking through mountains and rivers is not his strong point, and even crossing mountains and mountains is not his specialty.What he is best at is reciting scriptures and teaching the Fa. If you feel impatient, you can also call it nagging.

Tang Seng talked a lot of nonsense, this is my evaluation after listening to the whole chanting.It seemed that every word he said was profound, but I didn't understand after listening to his explanation anyway.But seeing the monks in the audience nodding repeatedly, I guess they are all smarter than me.

After the end, Tang Seng was taken back to his meditation room by Elder Jinchi, and Brother Monkey and I went back to the meditation room for us to rest first.In less than a quarter of an hour, Tang Seng came back in a hurry.As soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly changed the Jinlan cassock. Brother Hou wanted to praise him, but he heard Tang Seng's order.

He wanted to lend the Jinlan cassock to Elder Jinchi, saying that Elder Jinchi only had this one wish in his life.He estimated that he didn't have much time, and hoped that he could have something to think about before he died.I beg Tang Seng to be able to fulfill him, so that he can appreciate the beautiful cassock.He even played the emotional card, hoping to become friends with Tang Seng.

I grinned, Elder Jinchi really liked the Jinlan cassock.Logically speaking, this matter cannot be agreed. After all, the Jinlan cassock was given by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and only those who learn Buddhist scriptures can wear it when they see the Buddha.It seems inappropriate to just lend it to Elder Jinchi like this.

But Tang Seng is a bull-tempered person, and if he said what he said, the water that was thrown out, since he promised Elder Jinchi, he must honor it.Fold the Jinlan cassock and urge Brother Hou to send it to others as soon as possible.
