Journey to the West Bandits: The Poor Monk Just Wants to Be a Godfather

Chapter 19 Bodhisattva invites me to take the Western Sutra

Midnight.

Hummer Aaron braked suddenly and stopped firmly at the entrance of Guanyin Temple.

Through the car window, Tang Sanzan finally saw this resplendent temple.

Even the four characters on the plaque are made of pure gold!
Tang San's burial couldn't help but click his tongue.

Elder Jinchi's life was much more luxurious than what he had lived in the Tang Dynasty.

According to the original records of Journey to the West, the elder Jinchi of the Guanyin Temple has no other skills, but the ability to make money is a must!
If I can get some money from him and go on the road, I won't have to worry about food and drink while studying in the West.

"Little monkey, go down and knock on the door first."

"Let's salute first and then fight!"

Sun Xingzhe obeyed obediently and walked to the door of the Buddhist monastery and knocked on the door.

Not long after, a janitor monk dressed in gold and silver came out yawning.

Seeing Sun Xingzhe in a suit and Tang Sanzhen in jewels, he was stunned for a few seconds, then tilted his head and asked, "Which branch are you a monk from?"

"In the main courtyard of Guanyin Temple, those who are disheveled will not be welcomed!"

Tang Sanzun stepped forward and said: "The poor monk Tang Dynasty Godfather, entrusted by the Tang Emperor and Guanyin, went to the Western Heaven to obtain scriptures!"

"Passing by here, I'll give you a face to enter and stay for one night!"

A Buddhist monk?
The little monk looked Tang Sanzan up and down with disdain, and said in a blunt tone: "You don't move here, I will inform the master!"

Looking at the little monk, he didn't give any face.

Sun Xingzhe sneered: "Master, this little monk is so rude. Avalokitesvara forced me to wear a magic spell. This Avalokitesvara Temple belongs to her name. Let's just burn it down!"

Tang Sanzan frowned when he heard the words: "Little monkey, your words are so abrupt again, how can you keep burning?"

"If it burns here, who will take care of the food tonight? Where do we live?"

Sun Xingzhe nodded: "Master is right, let's eat first and then stay. When we leave, we will take the treasure and burn it down!"

Tang Sanzan: "Hey, I didn't say that!"

the other side.

After the young monk heard that Tang San was a Buddhist monk from the Tang Dynasty, he hurried to the Zen room and reported to the host.

When Elder Jinchi heard this, he stood up quickly and shouted: "Hurry up and take out my handmade cassock!"

"You guys should hurry up and put on your most expensive clothes!"

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva did not choose me to go to the Western Paradise to learn scriptures, but I want to see what this monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty is capable of!"

Tang San was waiting at the door for more than ten minutes. Just when he was about to draw his gun, a group of monks slowly walked out of the temple.

The leader, Elder Jinchi, wore gold and silver, and there were two young monks beside him who found an angle to light him.

Under the lighting, the hand-made cassock reflected a dazzling golden light, and the shining Tang Sanbu could hardly open his eyes.

"Don't blame me, Holy Monk, my Guanyin Temple occupies a large area, so it was delayed!"

As he spoke, Elder Jinchi glanced reproachfully at the young monk next to him.

"I have said that there will be less jewels inlaid on this Pilu hat in the future. If the gemstones on this Pilu hat are not too heavy, I can walk faster. Why let the holy monk wait here?"

The little monk said aggrievedly: "Master, it's true that the income of our Buddhist monastery is too high recently. Is this because the little ones honor you?"

The creases on Elder Jinchi's face were wrinkled into a ball, expressing an embarrassing expression on purpose.

"Don't blame me, holy monk. The disciples of the Zen Academy are limited in their abilities and cannot manage hundreds of thousands of farmland and real estate!"

"Let's come in and talk, come in and talk!"

???

Tang Sanzan and Sun Xingzhe looked at each other, with an imperceptible smile on their faces.

This is the first time you show off your wealth!
Since you are so enthusiastic, don't blame the poor monk for being cruel...

Go to the inner hall.

Several monks dressed in gold and silver were eating.

Seeing Elder Jinchi coming in with Tang Sanbian and Sun Xingzhe, they stood up and said deliberately: "Housemaster, you came just in time. This is made from black truffles, Tianshan snow lotus and Wannian Ganoderma lucidum that were just sent from abroad." Vegetarian porridge..."

Elder Jinchi secretly gave a thumbs up, but still said deliberately: "The holy monk came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, how can he value these common things?"

"Eminent monks pay attention to indifference and tranquility!"

"Go and ask the chef to replace it with ordinary cabbage and radish!"

Several monks frowned, and said teasingly: "Master, our back kitchen never prepares these pig and dog food, so please ask the holy monk to do it!"

"This……"

Elder Jinchi rolled his little eyes and said deliberately and apologetically: "Then I'll offend the holy monk and eat some food from the monastery, and think of it as a way to wash away the dust."

Tang Sanzian and Houhou frowned slightly as they looked at what Jinchi and the others were eating.

"If the holy monk doesn't know how to eat it, I can introduce it to you!"

Jin Chi thought that Tang San Bian had never seen these good things and wouldn't know how to eat them.

Pick up the ivory white jade chopsticks and get ready to show off.

But Tang Sanzan shook his head: "Elder Jinchi, I didn't mean you, you just use this thing to test the scripture learners?!"

"What practitioner can't stand a test like yours?!"

"If you are sincere, get some spicy beef, crayfish, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, pork sausage, braised pork ribs, spicy chicken, Dongpo elbow, and braised pig's trotters to help me clean up the dust!"

???

Elder Jinchi looked at Tang Sanzan with astonishment, almost thought he was hallucinating.

Even the other monks stopped with their chopsticks in mid-air and forgot what they should say for a moment.

The air is eerily quiet!
"It's unheard of! How can a monk eat meat?!"

Elder Jinchi came to his senses and said loudly and indignantly.

"There is a Buddha standing three feet above your head. Do you live up to the Buddha's teachings by eating meat?"

Tang Sanzan clasped his hands together: "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha will keep them in his heart!"

"Has wine and meat passed through your intestines?"

Elder Jinchi's expression changed drastically: "Food and wine are Buddhist precepts. Tang San buried you and broke them!"

Tang San was unmoved and looked at Jinchi with a hint of pity in his eyes.

"Jin Chi, if your heart towards the Buddha is firm, why would you care about these precepts?"

Elder Jinchi said angrily: "I have practiced Buddhism since I was a child, and it has been more than 200 years. How many people in this world dare to compare with me when it comes to Buddhism?"

"A frog at the bottom of a well sits in a well and looks at the sky without knowing it!"

Tang Sanbing smiled disdainfully.

"What did you say?!"

Elder Jinchi huddled together with wrinkled faces and shouted:

"My Golden Pond pays tribute to the Buddha and recites sutras for 6 hours every day, and creates 108 golden statues for Guanyin Bodhisattva. These are all proofs to the Buddha in my heart!"

"If the holy monk thinks that my heart towards the Buddha is not firm, then what did the holy monk do for the Buddha?"

Tang Sanzan clasped his hands together: "If there is a Buddha in my heart, why should I show it? Every word and deed of the poor monk is a Buddha image, otherwise why would Guanyin Bodhisattva ask me to go to the West to learn scriptures?"

"You...you are talking nonsense!"

Jin Chi's old face flushed from being choked by Tang Sanzan's words, he gasped and roared, "I build golden statues for Bodhisattvas!"

Tang Sanzan smiled slightly: "The Bodhisattva asked me to fetch the Western Scriptures!"

"I spread my kindness and use the rent money to help the people!"

"Bodhisattva asked me to take the Western Sutra!"

"I...I...I worship Buddha every day, and I have never stopped for 200 years!"

"Bodhisattva asked me to take the Western Sutra!"

"puff!"

Elder Jinchi felt dizzy and couldn't hold on any longer, a mouthful of black blood spewed out!

Tang Sanzan's words were like Huang Zhong Dalu's, which made his head buzz.

"Could it be... Could it be that I have done wrong for more than 200 years?"
