Datang unsigned for six years, only to know that it is Journey to the West

"Fellow Daoist, please come inside."

The monk swept Su Chen and Xiong Wei back and forth, and invited them in again, his eyes lit up.

His gaze made Xiong Wei a little uncomfortable.

But Su Chen didn't say anything, and he couldn't say much.

Entering the Guanyin Temple, there are more and more monks here, and each monk's eyes are similar, full of greed.

Xiong Wei was even more uncomfortable.

He lowered his voice, "Master, the gazes of these monks really make this disciple uncomfortable. They seem to want to eat us."

Su Chen said: "Hehe, they didn't just eat us, they didn't even spare our bones."

Xiong Wei frowned and said, "Master, since these monks have such malicious intentions, why are we here?"

Su Chen said: "Do things."

Xiong Wei snorted: "If they dare to mess around, Master, I will kill them all when the time comes."

Su Chen said: "No matter what, you can't make a move."

Xiong Wei was extremely puzzled, but Su Chen had no intention of explaining.

He could only be sullen.

soon.

The monk led Su Chen and the others into the inner hall, and there were more people. Besides the monk, there were also some passers-by.

In Su Chen's eyes, those pedestrians were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and those monks were money wolves.

"Who are these two?"

"Hey, someone's here."

"Haha, you two, are you here to donate merit money?"

After seeing the two of Su Chen, several monks immediately came forward, full of surprises, like a wolf seeing carrion.

The monk who had been leading the way for Su Chen immediately stood in front of him, "What are you all doing, I discovered this first, this is..."

Snapped!
An old monk slapped him, and the leading monk was stunned.

The old monk said: "Beifeng, what qualifications do you have to serve the distinguished pilgrims well?"

The leading monk is Beifeng, with a face full of grievances, but he dares not speak out, and can only say yes again and again.

Subsequently.

The old monk smiled and said, "Old monk Jin Yuan is the head seat of the Precepts Hall of Guanyin Temple, and also the younger brother of Elder Jin Chi, who presides over the temple. May I ask where you two came from and where do you want to go?"

They saw that the two of Su Chen were extraordinary, and they were wearing Taoist robes, and they came in, but they didn't have any rejection, only greed in their eyes.

Su Chen said: "The master and apprentice of the poor Taoist came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty. They knew a little about the deduction of the Book of Changes. They traveled all the way and passed by here, so they came here to ask for a glass of water."

When they heard that it was from the Tang Empire, the monks were all excited.

The old monk was also very happy, because Datang's guests have always been very wealthy, and they slaughtered the most.

Then I was a little surprised that Su Chen and Su Chen were masters and apprentices, and they also knew how to count the changes, and they were still running around.

The old monk, Elder Jin Yuan, was startled, and said, "It's true that Datang is a fool with a lot of money, and a liar who runs the rivers and lakes can do so well."

He could see that the wealth of Su Chen and the two of them, especially the jade pendant around their waists, was priceless.

So very jealous.

Su Chen had an exquisite heart, and he couldn't see what the old monk was thinking, so he sneered in his heart.

In fact, he deliberately restrained himself in this outfit, otherwise it would be more expensive, and it would be too ostentatious, and he didn't like it.

Elder Jin Yuan said: "Fellow Taoist came from afar, not to mention tea, there is also wine."

Xiong Wei said: "You Guanyin Temple still has drinks? Don't monks don't drink?"

Elder Jin Yuan said: "This is the thoughtfulness of our Guanyin Temple. We have prepared many good things for the pilgrims."

Su Chen hehe said: "Then you are really determined, but are you not afraid of being known by Guanyin?!"

The old monk, Elder Jin Yuan, was taken aback for a moment, and so were the other monks.

Immediately they all laughed.

Su Chen said, "Why are you laughing?"

Elder Jin Yuan smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, don't take it to heart, wine and meat have passed through the intestines, the Buddha sits in his heart, Guanyin will not blame us."

A monk next to him added: "That's right, we are just thinking about the pilgrims, and we are just offering incense to Master Avalokitesvara, there will be no problem."

Su Chen's smile deepened.

He has already seen that these monks are not focused on cultivating Buddhism at all, but purely to make money.

As for why they laughed just now, Su Chen has a seven-aperture exquisite heart, and he can tell the general idea, that is, they feel that there is no Guanyin at all.

After practicing Buddhism for so many years, I have never seen any miracles.

This is just a means and tool they use to make money. They have already lost faith in their hearts and their Buddha nature has been corrupted.

Su Chen shook his head secretly and sighed, the monks and masters in Chang'an were also like this, at most they did better on the surface.

After all, there are too many people in Chang'an. If people accidentally watch it and spread the word, it will cost more money for public relations.

In this poor and remote village, there is only one Guanyin Temple in eight towns, ten days and a half months may not see a single passerby.

Therefore, there is nothing to pretend.

He even took the initiative to say things such as good food and wine, just to attract passers-by to linger.

Elder Jin Yuan said: "The old monk's senior brother, Elder Jin Chi, is an eminent monk who cherishes talents. He is currently taking a lunch break. Please take a rest in the living room. I will see you again when he recovers."

Su Chen said: "No need, let's drink a glass of water and leave."

Elder Jin Yuan and the monks were in a hurry, how could they be willing to let these two big fat sheep leave so easily.

He even took the initiative to grab Su Chen's sleeve and said, "Fellow Daoist, don't worry, forget it, I'll risk offending senior brother to wake him up and let him come to see you."

Su Chen hesitated for a moment, and said: "Okay, the poor man will just wait for a while. But let's take a rest. The poor man will have a look at the professional capabilities of the masters."

Elder Jin Yuan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Su Chen meant.

But when he saw Su Chen walking towards the front hall, he gradually understood and followed with a smile.

"Don't be afraid of fellow Taoist jokes, we actually tell the fortunes of pilgrims, and we will also help them get rid of misfortunes. After all, we all work hard and get more rewards."

The old monk Jin Yuan smiled and said: "Fellow Daoists also tell fortunes for others, how about we discuss it then?"

Su Chen said: "No, this is something that offends Tian Yan, and the poor Taoist is mainly doing lottery, fortune-telling is second."

The old monk Jin Yuan said with a smile: "It's okay, it's all nonsense anyway... Cough cough, it's all about sparring."

Su Chen glanced at him, hehe said: "Okay, I'll bother you when the time comes."

Then they turned around again, and these monks really used fortune-telling to avert disasters and solve problems to cheat pilgrims out of their money.

Many pilgrims have been here for two or three months, and their money bags have been emptied long ago, and they even wrote letters to their families.

Su Chen frowned, full of disgust towards these monks.

but.

He hasn't been strong for the time being.

Instead, he waited for a while and asked the monks to take him to the Shantang for dinner.

Soon, it was time to eat a big pot of rice.

There is even a merit box here when you get started. If you don't donate money, you won't get in.

Su Chen said: "Isn't everyone able to eat as they please? Why do they have to donate money to go in?"

The monk guarding the gate said: "The Taoist priest doesn't know something. We are donating merit to ourselves. If you don't donate, it's okay. You can only enter after the meritorious people inside have finished eating and drinking."

Su Chen said: "If they have finished eating and drinking, is there still left?"

The gatekeeper monk said: "Then it depends on whether you have fate."

Su Chen was happy.

Xiong Wei beside him also laughed angrily, he had never seen such a brazen person.

He's going to hit it.

However, Su Chen took out an ingot of gold from his sleeve, and seeing that it weighed ten taels, he immediately stunned the monk guarding the gate and the monks and pilgrims around him.

hiss!
"Gold."

"It turned out to be gold, and it's a big piece."

"This man is really rich."

"Absolutely a good person."

Many people gasped and exclaimed.

The monk guarding the door also changed his face, nodded and bowed with an apologetic smile, and said, "Master Taoist, you are really kind and benevolent, you will be blessed and live long, live a long life, be rich and honored..."

After reading a lot of congratulations, Su Chen didn't throw the gold in until he had finished saying all the good things the doorkeeper monk had learned in his life.

"Please come in, please come in, Taoist priest, please come inside, if necessary, there are drinks, you can enjoy them."

Su Chen said: "I still like your rebellious look just now."

The gatekeeper monk was taken aback for a moment, and then pretended to be aloof.

But at the next moment, he smiled again, "Look, is this okay?"

Su Chen chuckled, pushed him away, entered with Xiong Wei, and was soon surrounded by many monks.

Regardless, he found a good place, and he didn't need to go to make a special meal, the novice monk brought the food, and it was the best meal of the day.

There is also a jug of wine, the wine is very light, but it is better than clear soup with little water.

Xiong Wei said: "Master, you shouldn't have given it to them, these guys don't deserve it."

Su Chen said, "That's just bait."

Then he started to eat and drink, and ate and drank all the meals for more than a dozen people.

The monks around were dumbfounded, and the gatekeeper monk was also shocked, secretly calculating to see if he lost money this time.

Fortunately, no loss.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and prayed that Su Chen would leave quickly, and if he ate any more, he would lose money.

Fortunately, Su Chen didn't continue to eat.

because.

The old monk Jin Yuan came accompanied by an older monk. The monk's cassock looked resplendent and glittering, and he was very rich.

The gatekeeper monk took the gold and moved closer to the old monk Jin Yuan, and whispered a few words in a low voice, which made the eyes of the old monk Jin Yuan brighten.

Immediately, the smile became even wider, "Master Daoist, this is Elder Jin Chi, the presiding officer of our Guanyin Temple, you should meet him soon."

Su Chen said: "So it's Elder Jinchi, you should have lived for more than 200 years!"

Elder Jin Chi was taken aback.

The monks were also taken aback for a moment.

Elder Jin Chi said: "How did the little Daoist know?"

Su Chen said with a smile: "The poor Taoist knows the arithmetic of the Book of Changes, so he calculated it."

Elder Jin Chi was stunned.

Su Chen said again: "Are you waiting for an opportunity here, and this opportunity will arrive soon?!"

Elder Jin Chi was even more shocked.

A few years ago, he received a dream entrusted by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and he came here to look for opportunities. Counting the time, the distance Bodhisattva said is almost here!

Only he knows these, but none of his disciples.

How did the Taoist in front of me know? !
