One Punch Tang Monk

Chapter 424 Xiaobai Can Beat Them Three Hundred

The abbot's eyes lit up when he heard Tang Sanzang's words, and he said repeatedly: "Elder Tang taught you the right thing. We monks should help each other when we go out. I was confused before, and I didn't know Taishan with my eyes. Look at this." Well, you don’t have to go to the inn in the dark, I gave up my Zen courtyard, and I suddenly remembered that there are actually three rooms vacant, enough for the elders and several young masters to stay.”

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Tang Sanzang showed a bit of surprise, and said a little embarrassedly: "However, some unpleasant things happened with the abbot and that master before. We I'm afraid it's not good to stay in the temple."

"How could it be, Elder Tang, you have overthought. It seems that you still have some concerns about my reckless behavior just now." The abbot waved his hand quickly, looked at Tang Sanzang, and sighed softly: "Elder, I don't know something. There is also a reason for the misunderstanding with you."

"How do you say that?" Tang Sanzang asked.

The abbot looked at Tang Sanzang with a look of unbearable expression on his face, and said in a low voice: "My temple was also expanded by the prince at the king's order, so it was named Baolin Temple. At that time, the temple of Baolin Temple was magnificent, and the Buddha statues were gilded. body, the incense is strong, and eminent monks come from far away to give lectures, and it is a thriving scene."

"Then why is it so dilapidated now?" Sha Wanjing asked curiously.

The abbot nodded in embarrassment and said: "I'm all to blame for this matter. A few years ago, a group of wandering monks came from the east. I saw that they were ragged and starving, so I brought them into the temple and gave them monk robes. Let them have a full meal. I thought they would leave after staying for a day or two, but how could they want to have fun in my temple? The gold-plated utensils and Buddha statues were all secretly pawned by them.

This great temple of mine has been turned into a miasma like this. All the pilgrims heard about the behavior of the monks in the temple, so they dare not come to the temple to offer incense, and the incense money is getting less and less day by day.Later, they committed the crime, and the government arrested them, but this also ruined the reputation of our temple. If the prince hadn't personally supervised the construction, I am afraid that even I would be arrested.You said, after such a thing happened, how could I dare to keep wandering monks in the monastery overnight.Now there are more than 300 monks in the monastery, and the money for incense sticks is not even enough to drink porridge, so it can only be maintained by the monks in the monastery with four gardens. "

Tang Sanzang looked at the abbot with a strange expression on his face. He thought it was strange that the temple was defeated before, but he didn't expect such a reason. The abbot master is really a bit sad. The result was pitted like this.

"Master, why don't we just stay here." Sha Wanjing said softly, looking at the abbot pitifully.

"Okay, since the abbot has kindly invited us, we will stay here, but the abbot's meditation room will not bother the abbot, just give us a few clean and clean guest rooms." Tang Sanzang nodded, although he knew what the abbot said. Most of the words were mixed with some water, but judging from the food just now, the monks in this temple are really miserable, and most of them have such a bad attitude towards him because they were cheated by the previous ascetic monks. He handed over the piece of gold that was still in his hand, "This will be our room fee for staying here tonight."

"Elder Tang, how can you be so embarrassing." The abbot looked embarrassed, but he took the gold quickly and put it in his pocket without even looking at it. He pointed to the side with a smile on his face and said, "Please, , The guest room is right here, I'll take you there, by the way, you guys haven't had dinner yet, I'll let the chef go down to prepare it, is it meat or vegetarian?"

"Aren't you all unable to open the pot? Why are there still meat?" Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows and looked at the abbot.

"If Elder Tang and several elders want to eat meat, and there is a crowing rooster in the temple, I'll go and order them to cook it for you." The abbot was honest.

"Forget about the crowing rooster. We happened to encounter a few frozen hares on the road just now. We asked the abbot to get some firewood for us. We can cook it ourselves." Tang Sanzang waved his hand quickly and said, this temple is so miserable It would be too pitiful to eat their crowing cocks.

However, Tang Sanzang's actions are actually not considered stingy. The piece of gold just now can be worth at least 50 taels. Although it is only a small corner in a pile of gold mountains, it is enough to feed the three hundred or so monks in this monastery for a while.

Moreover, Tang Sanzang didn't dare to be too grand... When he gave the piece of gold to the abbot just now, Tang Sanzang felt two waves of anger, one was Ao Xiaobai, and the other was naturally Xiaojin in the flying dragon stick. These two misers It was just right.

The abbot quickly led everyone to the guest room. The best guest room was a small courtyard with four rooms, and there was an ancient well in the corner of the courtyard. Although the guest room was in good condition, it seemed that there had been no pilgrims staying here for a long time, so it was everywhere. Accumulated ash.

Tang Sanzang politely declined the abbot's proposal to ask someone to clean it up, but only asked him to send someone to bring some firewood and sent him out of the yard.

Sun Wukong and the others can solve the cleaning of the room with a single spell, but it would be more troublesome to ask those monks to clean it up, and Ao Xiaobai has been hungry since just now.

Luo Xi was full just now, and Sun Wukong brought fresh water plants when he went to pick fruits, and he was running in the yard with Ao Xiaobai and Xiao Jin.

Sha Wanjing went to clean the room and make the bed, and Zhu Tianpeng went to help, after all the quilt was still in her cosplay bag.

"Master, won't they be tempted if we show them the money like this?" Sun Wukong looked at Tang Sanzang who was setting up the grill.

"This is what they should consider, but I think the abbot should not have the guts, otherwise those rambunctious monks would stay in this temple, and he would just ask dozens of monks to beat them up, it would be nothing Are they all gone?" Tang Sanzang said indifferently: "Even if they really have this idea, they can't beat anyone..."

"Well, Xiaobai can beat them three hundred times." Sun Wukong was also amused, nodded and said.

Soon, several young monks came to the small courtyard with a pile of chopped firewood. Tang Sanzang saw that these young monks were all yellow and thin, and his heart softened, so he took some scattered silver from Zhu Tianpeng and rewarded them.

The little monks thanked Tang Sanzang happily, and trotted away from the small courtyard. Although the gold had to be handed over to the abbot, with the gold, they should be able to make more porridge in their bowls tomorrow, maybe And a piece or two of salted radish.
