Chapter 444: Competition Between Treasures

He told the old monk directly.

"I didn't expect you to be a person with great perseverance."

"What's going on with the monkey next to you?"

When the old monk heard that Tang Xuanzong was going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, he was deeply shocked. Then he couldn't help but praise Tang Monk, saying that he had my great perseverance.

Finally, the old monk remembered something again and began to ask what was going on with the Sun Wukong next to Tang Xuanzang.

"Oh, you are talking about this monkey, he is my apprentice."

Tang Xuanzang did not tell the old monk the true identity of Sun Wukong. Firstly, he wanted to prevent the old monk from being afraid, and secondly, he wanted to save himself a hand. After all, this was outside. If anyone with evil intentions against him was peeping here, That would be bad.

"Oh, so that's it."

The old monk didn't ask any more questions. After saying this, he stopped talking.

"I wonder where the elder has arranged for us to stay tonight?"

Tang Xuanzong asked him where he would live today.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about this. Come with me and I will take you to where you want to live."

After hearing what Tang Xuanzong said, the old monk patted his head and said to Tang Xuanzang as if he suddenly understood.

Then he walked in front, with Tang Xuanzang and Sun Wukong leading the way.

"Hey, elder, what is in this room? Why are there so many candles?"

Just when the old monk led Tang Xuanzang and Sun Wukong, they passed a brightly lit room.

Tang Xuanzang suddenly stopped and asked the old monk what was in this room.

Because except for this room, all other rooms were almost dark. Even in the room where the Buddha statue was placed, there were only a few candles burning there.

On the other hand, there are no Buddha statues in this room, but it is still full of candles.

"Oh, you said all these supplies."

"If I were to tell you simply, I might not be able to explain it clearly. I'd better take you in to have a look."

The old monk wanted to tell them, but stopped, and then proposed to take them in to have a look.

"Then it's up to you, elder."

When Tang Xuanzang heard that the old monk wanted to satisfy his curiosity, he said very politely.

"You guys come with me."

As the old monk spoke, he opened the brightly lit room that Tang Monk had mentioned.

In addition to being filled with candles, there are only two things left in this room. One is various Zen rods.

Secondly, try on the various cassocks. There are no duplicates of these two things here. Almost every one is inlaid with gold and silver, which is very precious.

"This room is full. From the first abbot to my current one, there have been a total of seventy-eight of our temple's abbots. The Zen staffs and cassocks of each of them are stored here."

"So, each of their cassocks and Zen staffs are not ordinary things, right?"

"Every cassock here is my treasure to me."

"I wonder, eminent monk, if you have any treasures that I can take a look at?"

This time, before Tang Xuanzang could ask, the old monk took the lead in explaining to Te Junzeng, and then asked Tang Xuanzang if he had any treasures.

"I have a lot of treasures like this. The emperor gave me a lot of good things before. But in order to save my luggage and make it easier to ride on the road, I left all those treasures behind. to Chang'an City."

"So there is no treasure on my body now, if you want to see the treasure."

"After I travel west to obtain the true scriptures from Tathagata Buddha, I will take you back to Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty and let you go to my residence to see my treasure."

Tang Xuanzang was not a fool. After hearing what the old monk said, he immediately understood what the old monk wanted to do. It was obvious to him that he should show off his wealth in front of himself.

However, Tang Xuanzong was not like this. He had never seen any kind of treasure, just a cassock of this level.

Even if he took down the most precious parts and formed a cassock, it would not be as good as the cassock that Tathagata Buddha sent to him from Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

Therefore, these precious cassocks in the eyes of the old monk were nothing more than rubbish in the eyes of Tang Xuanzang.

"I'm telling you, are you afraid of being embarrassed when you say this? That's why you say you don't even have your baby with you."

Unexpectedly, after reading Tang Xuanzang's words, the old monk actually doubted his authenticity, and finally mocked Tang Sanzang.

"Why are you, an old monk, talking to my master? How can you be so rude?"

"My master has a treasure lying around. He was afraid that it would hurt your self-esteem when he took it out, so he said it didn't exist. You really don't know anything about it, anyway."

After hearing what the old monk said, Tang Xuanzang did not make any move. Instead, Sun Wukong took the lead and mocked the old monk.

"You said your master didn't take out the treasure because he was afraid of hurting me, but I'm telling you that I'm not afraid of picking it up for him. I want to see what treasure you said your master has."

This old monk made it clear that he did not believe what Sun Wukong had just said, and he would not give up until he took out Tang Xuanzang's treasure.

"Okay, don't regret it when you see me later, and don't cry and shout to ask the master for it."

Sun Wukong replied angrily.

"You can go and get it. If I see your master's treasure and want it, I will call you grandpa."

The old monk did not restrain himself, but spoke more arrogantly.

You wait here, I'll go get it and show it to you.

Sun Wukong didn't expect that the old monk would be so harsh. Not to be outdone, he walked out of the room and rushed towards the place where Tang Xuanzang's luggage was stored.

Originally Tang Xuanzang wanted to stop Sun Wukong, but before he could speak, Sun Wukong had already opened the door and rushed out.

After a while, Sun Wukong came back with a baggage.

"Old monk, don't you want to see my master's treasure? I will open your eyes today and let you know that those tattered things of yours are not treasures at all."

After Sun Wukong brought the baggage back, he said fiercely to the old monk.

"I'd like to see it."

The old monk still had a tough mouth and replied to Sun Wukong unwillingly.

"Then you should keep an eye on it."

Directly in front of the old monk, Sun Wukong took out the cassock that Buddha had given to Tang Xuanzang.
