Chapter 454 I Don’t Want to Survive Poverty
"Master~"
Walking on the road to the west, Pig Gohan couldn't help but said: "Master, we have been walking for four or five years. We are tired of hot pot, why hasn't the west arrived yet!"
"You idiot, it's not like you don't know the way to the west. We have just left the house!" said the monkey, shaking his head in front.
He had listened to Tang Yan's chatter a lot recently and learned a lot of weird knowledge, but he was out of his mind and didn't quite understand that knowledge. As for Pig Gohan, he felt sleepy when he mentioned Tang Yan's nagging, but it was Sha Wutian who was the most serious in his studies.
"Hey~ How could I not know. Aren't I asking for Master?" Pig Gohan rolled his eyes and said. He has been in contact with Tang Yan for several years, but he has not learned the good things, but he has learned three things about blaming others.
"Gohan, this is just a little journey on the road of life. I still know it as a teacher." Tang Yan said on the horse: "Since we are tired of hot pot, let's eat something else today."
"What?" When he heard about eating, Pig Gohan became more energetic.
"Stew in iron pot! It's a pity that there is no big goose!" Tang Yan said.
"Master! Goose is easy to handle, why don't you just let me catch one!" Pig Gohan said.
"Ha..." the monkey sneered: "You can summon people. If you can't catch monsters, don't you know how to catch geese?"
"Then...I can go too!" Pig Gohan thought for a while, and it was not impossible to catch it himself in order to eat.
Tang Yan was riding on his horse and saw many towers and pavilions in the valley in front of him. He said, "I saw pavilions in the distance. They looked like temples and nunneries. Why don't you go there to have a look and stay overnight?" !”
When the monkey heard this, he was afraid that it was a monster cave, so he jumped up and saw that it was indeed a large temple, quite large in scale. However, the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Buddhas faces the Tathagata Hall, and the Chaoyang Tower faces the Daxiong Gate. The seven-story pagoda is located in Cebu, and the three Buddhas and gods appear in glory. The Manjusri Terrace is opposite the Garan Palace, and the Maitreya Hall is next to the Daci Hall.
"Master, it is indeed a temple! As expected, all the famous mountains in the world have been taken over by these bald donkey Taoists." The monkey couldn't help but said when he saw how big the temple was.
"Wukong, don't fail to keep your reputation!" Tang Yan said quickly when he heard the monkey talking about the bald donkey.
Several people came to the temple and saw the temple entrance. They saw dust on the plaque outside the mountain gate. They couldn't see clearly. After carefully identifying it, they saw five big characters.
It was "Edict to build Baolin Temple".
"The monks here are so lazy that they haven't even wiped off the ashes on the mountain gate." Pig Gohan couldn't help complaining after seeing it.
When he was a monster, the door had to be scrubbed frequently.
"You have ugly faces and rude words. It's up to me to stay overnight!" After Tang Yan finished speaking, he dismounted and entered the mountain gate.
Monkey and Pig Gohan rolled their eyes at Tang Yan, while Sha Wutian put down his luggage, took out his book, and started reading.
When Tang Yan entered the temple, he saw that the four King Kongs at the door were extraordinary and majestic, larger than those in ordinary temples. No wonder in the original work, Tang Monk sighed: "In my eastern land, if someone could mold such a big Bodhisattva out of clay, burn incense and make offerings to it." Ah, my disciple won’t go to the West either.”
As for the Great Hall and the like, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are not allowed to say anything about it. Although it is made of clay, it is indeed gilded, and it is truly extraordinary.
"Where did you come from, monk?" A monk in the main hall said when he saw Tang Xing was so tired.
"The poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the east and was going to the Leiyin Temple in the west to learn scriptures. He passed by the treasure place and stayed overnight!" Tang Yan said.
When the monk saw that Tang Ying was in the dust and did not look like a nobleman, he said: "My temple only accepts scholars from the city to pay incense. You wandering monks, why don't you go four or five miles to the west. There are shops there. They sell food and it’s convenient for accommodation.”
"Oh?" Tang Yan raised his eyelids and said, "Junior brother is good at making incense. Even the poor monks in the Tang Dynasty never had this method. Can I ask for advice?"
"You..." The monk glanced at Tang Yan and was too lazy to talk to him.
This monk is so ignorant of himself! Why do you want me to betray my business secrets with just one sentence?
So Tang Yan took out a gold horseshoe and stuffed it into the hands of the monk official.
The monk's expression changed, and he quickly said with a smile: "Oh, senior brother, why are you so polite? You are a guest from afar, and you are a guest from afar! I will prepare a private room and a meal for senior brother."
"It doesn't matter, I still have three apprentices and horses outside, let's just come with them!" Tang Yan said.
"Since we are senior disciples, let's come in together!" The monk said with a smile, looking completely different from the one just now. Even when he saw that all of Tang Yan's apprentices were extremely ugly, he still greeted the three apprentices with a smile.
After arriving in the wing and setting up the fast food, Monkey couldn't help but said: "Master, the monks here are so enthusiastic!"
"Of course, you have to pay to be a teacher!"
"Huh?" Monkey was stunned. Although he had only been a monk for a few years, he knew it. Anguan monasteries are all residences for wandering monks and Taoists. When you see the mountain gate, you can get three liters of rice. Where are the monks who come to pay their bills?
"It's normal for me not to survive poverty!" Tang Yan said calmly.
"..."
Such a thief is old and bald. If I say "bald donkey", you will say that I have no moral integrity. You yourself are trying to hack Buddhism, you are more ruthless than me!
"It is said that the monk said that this Baolin Temple is half a royal temple, and kings often come here. If it were in the Huasheng Temple of the Tang Dynasty, a wandering monk like me wouldn't even be able to get in!" Tang Xing said again about the Huasheng Temple of the Tang Dynasty. The dirty stuff!
"A few years after I left the Tang Dynasty, I had a great chat with General Yuchi. I wonder if he did anything important when he returned?" Tang Yan said to himself again.
The disciples didn't know how to answer this, so they just ate their fast meals and went to bed before Tang Yan could say anything to them.
Only Sha Wutian took the book and discussed with Tang Yan until midnight before falling asleep.
In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard the cold wind blowing outside the window. Someone seemed to be shouting outside the wing: "Elder! Elder!"
Tang Yan suddenly raised his head and saw a man standing outside the door. His body was dripping with water, and his eyes were filled with tears. He kept shouting: "Elder! Elder!"
"Who are you?" Tang Yan asked.
"Elder, I am..." The water ghost explained his origin clearly. He is the king of this black chicken country. Three years ago, he was pushed down a well by a demon and cried every day. Later, the Dragon King told him that Tang Yan's apprentice was the Monkey King, who had great supernatural powers and could help him redress his injustice.
That's why I came to Tang Yan for help.
"Oh? Then why are you looking for me if you don't look for my apprentice!" Tang Yan said.
"Uh..." The water ghost was obviously stunned by his question. The truth seems to be this.
"My disciple is over there. I'll call him. I want to ask, do you have money?" Tang Yan said, "We monks don't help the poor!"
