Martial Arts: Immortality Begins from The Deer and the Cauldron

Chapter 1025 The secret is not revealed
  Moreover, this old monk was cunning and cunning, and he did not look like a good person. If he lent him his cassock, he might be like a meat bun and beat a dog, so Tang Monk was a little hesitant.

Seeing Tang Sanzang's silence, Elder Jinchi thought he was unwilling, so he felt a little dissatisfied.

"Eminent Monk, I will show you all the treasures that Guanyin Temple has collected for half my life, but you won't even let me take a look at your cassock. The eminent monk's behavior is a bit too stingy."

"Master, don't worry. It's not that Master Sanzang is unwilling to give up. He is tired from traveling all the way and hungry, so he is a little confused. Master, please don't blame me."

Qin Ran smiled and said, he naturally saw that Tang Seng was doubtful and decided to guide him.

"It turns out that the holy monk hasn't eaten yet, so I immediately asked the monks and masters in the temple to arrange a fast meal." Elder Jinchi reacted immediately, his eyes always staring at the cassock.

Hearing this, Tang Sanzang came to his senses and quickly declined: "I won't bother you, Master. The poor monk is not hungry yet."

He was used to eating meat, but he didn't want to eat anything light and vegetarian.

Seeing Tang Seng's direct refusal, Elder Jinchi's face became extremely ugly, and he suddenly felt malicious in his heart. "The elder has misunderstood. Master Sanzang didn't mean this. If the elder agrees to our condition, I will lend you this cassock to watch for one night."

Qin Ran smiled and explained that he naturally saw that the old bald man was angry and decided to kill people and set fire at night to seize the treasure. If it was allowed to develop, it would be bad.

"What are the conditions? Master, tell me quickly, I will definitely be satisfied." Elder Jinchi looked overjoyed and put aside the treacherous plot in his heart, "We are tired from the journey and hungry. Please prepare a meal of meat for us."

The face of the Guanyin Bodhisattva above suddenly darkened. The cassock was exchanged for meat? This bastard could think of it! Besides, this is her place of worship, how can she openly eat meat?
  This was destroying her reputation in vain. Guanyin's heart surged with anger and she just wanted to go down and tear Qin Ran's mouth apart.

Tang Sanzang's eyes lit up. Sure enough, Mr. Qin understands my heart deeply! He quickly echoed, "Haha, Mr. Qin is right. Old monk, if you get some meat, I can lend you this cassock."

Sun Wukong was also amused. He had never experienced eating meat in the Guanyin Temple. Thinking about the taste made him happy.

"Meat?" Elder Jinchi's face immediately fell, and he was shocked. "Holy Monk, this young master can be forgiven for eating meat, but as a monk, how can you break the precept?"

Although he was greedy by nature, his devotion to the Buddha was sincere. He had never violated the Buddha's rules and regulations. As for the treasures he collected, they were all bought with incense money from the people nearby. At this time, he saw the saint from the Tang Dynasty. The monk took the initiative to break the precepts and was unable to react for a while.

"Hey! It can't be done? Then forget it, it seems that this cassock is no longer destined to be a master." Qin Ran took the cassock in his hand, which was emitting bright golden Buddha light, and played with it casually, with a look of pity on his face.

Elder Jinchi's heart twitched and he said hurriedly: "Master, wait a moment, let the old monk think carefully."

This precious cassock is really tempting to look at, but on the other side are the rules and regulations that have been maintained for many years. Elder Jinchi is really hard to choose.

"The host needs to make a decision soon, it's getting late now!"

Qin Ran reminded from the side: "This..."

Elder Jinchi was even more embarrassed. When Tang Monk and his group came to the temple, it was already getting late, and he insisted on dragging them into a bragging competition, so it was now dark.

Really, why are you pretending to be fine? Elder Jinchi wished he could give himself a slap in the face. Looking at the old monk’s embarrassment. Sun Wukong was extremely happy on the sidelines.

Elder Jinchi hesitated for a long time. He was really reluctant to give up this precious cassock, so he gritted his teeth and said:
  "Sir, holy monk, please wait a moment. I will instruct my disciples to make arrangements."

"Master, Great Sage, we have been running around all day, so let's go and have a rest. I believe the elder will prepare dinner soon."

"Okay, okay, master, let's go and rest first. Dinner will be served soon." Qin Ran hugged his cassock and stood up to leave.

Elder Jinchi looked at Qin Ran's back and glanced at the Buddha's cassock with reluctance. The look of greed on his face became even stronger, and he kept mumbling, "What a treasure!"

It wasn't until Qin Ran and others left completely that Elder Jinchi came back to his senses. Seeing the disciples on the side still dazed, he couldn't help but feel furious, "Why are you still dazed? Go and prepare meat for them!"

The disciples looked confused, why did they agree so quickly? However, seeing the berserk Elder Jinchi, they were all frightened and quickly retreated to get meat for Tang Sanzang and his party.

Although Guanyin was angry, everything was still going according to plan, and she couldn't stop it. So he got up and went to Batu Caves in Batu Mountain, wanting to check to make sure nothing unusual happened there.
  Outside the thirty-third heaven, in the Land of Ultimate Bliss, the Tathagata stood respectfully below Taoist Zhunti and Taoist Jingyin,
  "Reporting to the saint, that brocade cassock has been lost for some unknown reason, and there is no clue."

Taoist Jie Yin frowned and worked with Zhun Di to make some calculations, but nothing was figured out.
  There is a mark of Guanyin on this cassock, but now there is no trace of it, as if it had never existed before.

Jie Yin Zhundi was a little shocked. Everything in this world is under the shroud of heaven. As long as it has existed, there will always be some traces left. But that cassock, as an acquired spiritual treasure, can be completely hidden without being noticed. Disappearing is really a bit too weird.

"It's not your fault."

"Thank you, saint. I don't know how we should respond after this incident?" Tathagata asked respectfully.

After Jie Yin pondered for a while, he said: "We have been secretly watching the Three Saints of the East. It doesn't look like they did it, and the secret is extremely clear, but there is no clue. As I guessed, it should be that Due to variables, this matter can only be dropped temporarily.”

Zhun Di also had no idea and warned in a deep voice:
  "This is a critical moment for Buddhism to spread eastward. You should be more cautious in the future and secretly investigate the whereabouts of the cassock. If you find the cassock, you can find the variables."

“I will obey the sage’s decree.”

The Tathagata bowed and bowed down.

……

Let’s talk about Guanyin Temple. Elder Jinchi summoned all the disciples of the temple and went to nearby towns to buy wine and meat.

Since the disciples who went there were all well-known to the nearby villagers, this move caused an uproar, and it was difficult for the disciples of Guanyin Temple to explain. After all, Tang Monk who wanted to eat meat was also a monk. For a time, the reputation of Guanyin Temple plummeted.
