"Never come here? Where is he now?" Ye Chen scratched his head, knowing that he seemed to be a little early, and it seemed that Xuanzang hadn't come to Huasheng Temple to prepare for his westward journey.

"I don't know, can you wait a moment? I'll call the abbot to answer the donor's doubts." The little monk didn't know where Xuanzang was, but it seemed that he didn't want to neglect Ye Chen, so he had to bring out the abbot.

Chapter 1335 Looking for Xuanzang

"Okay, please let the little master inform the abbot and say that I want to see Master Xuanzang." Ye Chen nodded, and the little monk immediately closed the door of the temple.

"Strange, why is the gate of this temple closed during the day? And this little monk is also a little rude, so he doesn't let me in." Ye Chen looked at the gate that was closed again, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

After a while, the door of the temple reopened, and an old monk came out of the temple. He also didn't mean to invite Ye Chen to enter, because after he walked out of the temple, the temple door was closed.

"Amitabha, I don't know why the donor is looking for Master Xuanzang?" The abbot clasped his hands together, first recited the Buddha's name, and then asked Ye Chen's purpose.

"I heard that Master Xuanzang is about to travel west. I specially came to ask Master Xuanzang to take me with me." Ye Chen also put his hands together and said after bowing slightly to his husband.

"Westbound? This temple has never received such news. Could it be that the donor has found the wrong place?" There was a hint of doubt in the abbot's eyes. In Ye Chen's view, he did not lie.

"So that's the case, can I ask the abbot to tell me where Master Xuanzang is now?" Ye Chen knew that he might have come early, but he still wanted to try to ask Xuanzang's location.

"Everyone in Chang'an City knows where Master Xuanzang lives." The abbot smiled, "He is now in the palace, explaining Buddhist scriptures to the new emperor."

"Explain Buddhist scriptures..." Ye Chen muttered in a low voice, he suddenly remembered that Xuanzang went west to collect scriptures because there were many errors in the existing Buddhist scriptures in the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, Xuanzang was lecturing for Emperor Taizong of Tang in the palace, which made sense from the perspective of the development of the plot, so he bowed slightly to the abbot again, "Thank you abbot for his guidance."

"It's okay." The abbot smiled, then turned around and wanted to go back to the temple, but as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by Ye Chen again.

"Master Abbot, please stay. I would like to ask why the gate of this temple is closed during the day?" Ye Chen had been brooding over this matter and was puzzled.

"There is a master in this temple today, so..." The abbot said this, his eyes lowered, and Ye Chen could see the sadness in his eyes.

"This... I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask more about this." Ye Chen hurriedly bowed deeply to his husband, secretly scolding himself that he shouldn't meddle in his own business.

"It's okay, it's okay, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. If the donor has nothing else to do, the poor monk will go back first." After the abbot said, Ye Chen quickly agreed, and the abbot walked into the temple.

For the next time, Ye Chen was wandering around Chang'an City, not because he had such leisurely elegance, but because he had just discovered that he had no money on him.

Ye Chen was a little hungry, but he really didn't want to beg for food like a beggar, so walking in the city like this, he slowly came to a main street.

The main street is much wider than other streets. Here, Ye Chen can see the location of the palace at a glance. Now, Xuanzang is in the palace that does not seem far away.

"It looks so close, but ordinary people probably won't be able to get there in a lifetime." Ye Chen thought to himself, sighed, and left the main street.

Having no money on his body caused him great trouble. It was getting dark, and he realized that being hungry was a trivial matter, and not having a place to sleep at night was the biggest problem.

He didn't dare to wander the streets alone. If he was seen by the soldiers, it would be a trivial matter to be driven out of the city. If he was identified as an assassin or something, he would have no excuses.

Chapter 1336 Good-hearted people

Ye Chen saw that it was already dark. According to the news he inquired today, in about half an hour, the gate of Chang'an City will be closed, and it will be curfew time by then.

Since the war has just passed, Chang'an City is not open until there are any entertainment activities at night, and it coincides with a disaster year. How can anyone dare to have fun under the eyes of the emperor?

So if Ye Chen still didn't find a place to live at that time, he could only wander in Chang'an City. If he was discovered by the soldiers, he would inevitably have a lawsuit.

Ye Chen is a little helpless about the current situation. Even if he has an immortal body, he can't escape these worldly burdens.

After all, he is not Monkey King. He has that kind of ability, let alone a place to live. He should be able to make a lot of silver taels at his fingertips now, why is there no place to eat and sleep?

Thinking of Sun Wukong, Ye Chen thought of Wuzhi Mountain a hundred miles away, "Is that monkey waiting for Tang Seng at the foot of the mountain now?" Ye Chen thought silently.

"Having trouble in the Heavenly Palace makes people envious." Ye Chen smiled, thinking that he would soon become one of the four westbound people, and he couldn't help but have a new yearning for the future.

Just as Ye Chen's thoughts drifted into the distance, a small bun shop beside him suddenly opened the door, Ye Chen was attracted by the sound of the door opening, and his eyes couldn't help but look over.

The person who opened the door was a young woman who looked to be in her thirties. She didn't expect that there were still people hanging out on the street so late, so when she saw Ye Chen, she was a little surprised.

"Little brother, why don't you go home so late? The curfew is coming soon." The young woman kindly reminded Ye Chen.

Ye Chen nodded, with a bitter smile on his face, "It's not that I don't go home, it's that I'm homeless. I wonder if the lady boss can take me in for one night?"

The young woman looked at Ye Chen carefully, but didn't answer immediately, "Little brother, wait a minute, I'll go in and ask my husband, if he agrees, you can stay here for a night."

"Thank you." Ye Chen thanked him gratefully. The young woman didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and then walked into the bun shop.

Ye Chen waited quietly outside the door, but the young woman hadn't come out for a long time, Ye Chen sighed, knowing that the other party might think he was a bad person, so he didn't want to take him at will.

"It seems that he didn't tell me directly because he was afraid of breaking my heart." Ye Chen murmured softly, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Little brother, walk slowly." The young woman's voice sounded again, Ye Chen turned around, and saw the young woman holding a basin in her hand, "My husband agrees that little brother will stay here for one night."

After finishing speaking, the young woman poured the water from the basin in her hand on the street, "I was helping my husband to wash his body just now, and I neglected the little brother. As an apology, I will invite the little brother to dinner."

"No, no, I can't thank you enough for letting me stay overnight, why would I be embarrassed to have another meal?" Ye Chen quickly waved his hand, but his stomach rang out inappropriately.

Although the sound from Ye Chen's stomach was not loud, the street was quiet now, and the young woman could still hear the "protest" from Ye Chen's stomach.

"Pfft." The young woman covered her mouth and laughed, "It's okay little brother, come in, I don't have anything good here, only the buns that were not sold during the day, if no one eats them, these buns will be thrown away already."

"Then... I'll thank you in advance." Ye Chen bowed with both hands, and then followed the young woman into the door of the bun shop. After passing through a small courtyard, he entered the bun shop.

Chapter 1337 Warm reception

After entering the bun shop, the young woman asked Ye Chen to sit down first, she went to the back kitchen, and after a while, she came out with two baskets of steaming buns.

"There are only some buns left, and I would like to invite my little brother to take it." The young woman smiled and sat at the table, "Would you like to drink a drink to warm up?"

"It's not good, I ate your buns and also drink your wine." Although Ye Chen wanted to drink, he was a little embarrassed.
