"What's the matter? Shouldn't the old monk protect the cassock well last night? Why is it gone now?" Ye Chen and Sun Wukong asked after gathering.

"I don't know. This old monk is very tricky. He set the fire to occupy the cassock. If I hadn't discovered it in time, I'm afraid the master would have been burned to ashes by now."

"But now that old monk doesn't know where to go, will that cassock be taken away by him?" Ye Chen looked at Sun Wukong, but Sun Wukong obviously hesitated.

"Monkey, did you see something?" Ye Chen asked tentatively, but he knew in his heart that Sun Wukong must have seen the old abbot burned to death in the fire.

"I... sigh, to be honest, this fire should have burned into our hut, but I borrowed a fire-proof cover from Guangmu Tianwang, so we were not affected by the fire."

"I couldn't stand the behavior of these monks, so I took a breath and burned the fire into the temple. Last night... the old abbot was burned to death in the fire."

"That's broken." Ye Chen frowned, "Now that the old abbot is dead, and he doesn't know where the cassock is hidden, how can this be good?"

Chapter 1456 Survivor

"I have no choice. Now we can only find the cassock before the master finishes reciting the scriptures. Otherwise, the master will be very sad when he knows that the cassock is lost."

Although Sun Wukong said so, Ye Chen knew that he actually didn't care about whether Tang Seng was hurt or not at all. The main problem was that the cassock was given to Tang Seng by the Buddha through Guanyin's hand.

If such an important thing is lost, and it is still lost under Sun Wukong's eyelids, then Buddha will find it, and he still doesn't know how to blame him, so what Sun Wukong is afraid of now is actually Buddha.

"Let's look for it. By the way, let's see if there are still monks alive in the temple. Maybe someone saw where the old abbot hid his robe." Ye Chen had to comfort Sun Wukong like this.

"That's the only way. Let's go together this time, lest the master know about the disappearance of the cassock." Sun Wukong nodded, agreed with Ye Chen's method, and the two walked towards the depths of the temple together.

A fire last night burned almost all the buildings in the temple. All the main buildings were affected by the fire, either collapsed or blackened by thick smoke.

Sun Wukong and Ye Chen looked for people while looking for cassocks, but there was no result. "Monkey, do you think the cassock will be destroyed by the fire?"

"No." Sun Wukong shook his head, "I heard from Guanyin Bodhisattva that the cassock is very big, and it is said that if you wear it, you will not fall into reincarnation. How could it be destroyed by the fire of the mortal world?"

"I don't know if the Bodhisattva lied or not. If what she said was false, the cassock might have turned into a pinch of ashes now." Ye Chen expressed a little doubt about the cassock's fire resistance ability.

"Oh, it's all my fault. If only I had paid attention to that cassock last night, it wouldn't have caused the matter to this point." Sun Wukong reproached himself.

Just as the two were looking for the cassock, the sound of footsteps stepping on the rubble suddenly sounded from behind the two of them.

Ye Chen and Sun Wukong turned their heads together, and saw a young monk looking at the two of them in secret, and they stopped together.

"Little Master, come here, we won't hurt you." Ye Chen said to the little monk. The little monk came over with peace of mind when he saw that the two were the apprentices of Master Sanzang whom he met yesterday.

When he approached, Ye Chen realized that they had met this little master yesterday, and it turned out that this was the little monk who brought the tea set to the old abbot yesterday.

"Master, have you ever seen other people who survived the fire in this temple?" Ye Chen looked at the little monk and first asked what he knew.

The little monk shook his head, and then immediately burst into tears, "They are all dead, my master and other brothers and sisters are dead, and the fire killed them."

"Don't cry, don't cry, don't worry, we will definitely arrange another temple for you to practice there, okay?" Ye Chen quickly comforted the little monk, after all, only this little monk now knows the whereabouts of the cassock.

After crying for a while, the little monk finally calmed down. He briefly talked about his identity. It turns out that he has been doing errands by the old abbot all these years, so he knows a lot of the old abbot's secrets.

"The little master, do you know where the cassock we lent the abbot last night went?" Ye Chen asked after listening to the little monk patiently.

Chapter 1457 The cassock was stolen

"Last night the abbot said that he had to go out and asked me to guard the cassock in the room, but the abbot didn't come back. I was really sleepy, so I fell asleep."

"When I woke up, I found that the abbot hadn't come back yet, but there was one more person in the room. I didn't dare to get up, so I only dared to squinting to look, and found that it turned out to be the black bear monster that the abbot usually made friends with. "

"The black bear had a good relationship with the abbot. He always came to the temple to speak with the abbot. We also knew him, so I wasn't afraid at the time, just wondered why he appeared in the abbot's house."

"Then I saw the black bear had been looking at the cassock in a trance, he seemed to have a soft spot for the cassock that the abbot asked me to guard, but before I could say anything, the black bear walked out of the room with the cassock. "

"I got up and chased out, but I found that the black bear had turned into a black wind and headed towards his old lair - Heifeng Mountain. I couldn't catch up with him, and I saw the fire in the temple, so I quickly looked for him. somewhere to hide."

After hearing the little monk's description, Ye Chen and Sun Wukong looked at each other, and now they can be sure that the cassock was stolen by the black bear monster.

"Master, do you know where the black bear monster is now?" Sun Wukong thought for a while, and then asked where the black bear monster was hiding.

"He was practicing in the Heifeng Cave, Heifeng Mountain, [-] miles southeast of Guanyin Temple. I was once again entrusted by the abbot to send him something, so I know that place."

"Okay, thank you little master." Ye Chen thanked, and then asked Sun Wukong to take the little monk to find a temple, so that the little monk could continue to practice in the temple.

Unexpectedly, before Sun Wukong agreed, the little monk first raised his objection, "I, I don't want to be a monk anymore. I don't have much cultivation and merit, and I'm afraid I can only do miscellaneous things when I go to other temples."

"Then you can go back to the secular world. The two of me will not stop you, but thank you for what you told us today, otherwise we really don't know where to find the cassock."

The little monk waved his hand, indicating that it was not a big deal, and then walked out of the temple. Seeing his decisive look, Ye Chen obviously made up his mind not to be a monk.

"Monkey, you have heard what the little monk said just now. I guess that the black bear must have seen the fire in the temple and wanted to help. I didn't expect to see the cassock by accident, and then stole the cassock. ."

"Hmph, I don't care what the purpose of his coming to this temple is. Anyway, he stole the cassock, and I'm going to get it back. The cassock belongs to the master, how could he be allowed to occupy it like that?"

Ye Chen nodded, and then went back to the hut where they lived last night with Sun Wukong. At this moment, Tang Seng had finished reading the scriptures and saved these wandering spirits. He was putting his luggage on the horse.

Seeing Ye Chen and the two returning, Tang Seng stopped his movements, "Amitabha, how is it, have you found the cassock?"

Sun Wukong shook his head in shame, "Master, the cassock was stolen by the monster, but don't worry, my old grandson will definitely get the cassock back for you."

"Hey, this cassock is a precious thing. At that time, as a teacher, I told you not to show it off, but you just want to... that's all. This is also a doomed catastrophe. Let's set off immediately."

Chapter 1458 Black Bear Monster

Tang Seng stepped on the horse, Ye Chen took the reins, and Sun Wukong flew directly into the sky, and headed towards the Black Wind Mountain to find the black bear monster.

Ye Chen briefly told Tang Seng what happened last night, and Tang Seng couldn't help sighing after hearing it, "So many people have been killed for the sake of a cassock. This word of greed is very harmful."

Ye Chen didn't speak. After all, this matter was not the responsibility of Tang Seng. If the old abbot hadn't become greedy, there would not have been such a fire last night, and the cassock would not have been stolen by the black bear monster.
