One Punch Tang Monk

Chapter 430

"Master Abbot, may I take the liberty to ask, what does this Baolin Temple mean to you?" Tang Sanzang asked calmly, looking into the abbot's eyes.

The abbot looked up, looked at Tang Sanzang's clear eyes for a moment, and turned his gaze to the outside of the courtyard. There were spider webs hanging on the dilapidated eaves. Even the temple under the morning sun was still gloomy. They looked lifeless.

As if touched by what he saw, the old abbot had tears in his eyes, and he choked up and said: "I became a monk when I was seven years old. Back then, there were only seven or eight monks in Baolin Temple. The master adopted us, who lost their parents because of the war. Later, as the war intensified, there were more and more young monks in the monastery. Master led us to seek alms everywhere, and managed to survive in that chaotic world. But just after the Wuji Kingdom was established and the days of peace arrived, the master died I have never lived a peaceful life. After Master died, I became the abbot. Baolin Temple has more than 100 monks. However, after the Taiping, the number of people worshiping Buddha and burning incense gradually increased. There are also some disciples who are begging abroad, and they have finally taken shape. Ten years ago, I entered the imperial court to ask Your Majesty to show the benefits of my Buddhist teachings. Your Majesty specially ordered the prince to supervise the construction of Baolin Temple. At its peak, it is known as the No. [-] temple in the Wuji Kingdom."

The old abbot's face was a little red, recalling the grand occasion of Baolin Temple back then, his mood was still full of worship. It can be said that he created the prosperity of Baolin Temple back then.

Tang Sanzang was surprised that the abbot was able to exchange his mouth for the first temple in the Wuji country. He was also a little emotional about the story behind it. He created Baolin Temple with one hand. The former No. [-] temple in the Wuji Kingdom, its reputation was ruined, and the eminent monks ran away. These things seemed to have punched this temple that survived the troubled times into a deep quagmire and could not extricate itself.

"Baolin Temple is everything to me. If I can choose again, I will definitely not let those monks enter my Baolin Temple and trample on this pure and precious land." The abbot lifted his monk's clothes and wiped the corners of his eyes. It means regret.

"I don't have the ability to re-select Master Abbot, but now there is an opportunity to revive Baolin Temple. I wonder if the abbot is interested?" Tang Sanzang looked at the abbot and said with a smile.

"Revitalize Baolin Temple?" The abbot suddenly looked up at Tang Sanzang, his eyes full of hope and shock, he took a step forward, grabbed Tang Sanzang's hand and said, "Master, what's your plan!"

"Master Abbot, don't be impatient. I also see that the abbot intends to revive Baolin Temple, but I am a Buddhist, so I don't like to stand by and watch, so I plan to give Baolin Temple a chance, which is also a piece of Buddha's fate." Tang Sanzang didn't move. He withdrew his hand from the abbot's hand sensually, and said unhurriedly: "Today a nobleman will come to the temple, and the abbot is no stranger to this, but this nobleman is here to see me today, not to see you. And it is not suitable for being seen by the monks in the temple. Therefore, the abbot please open the side door, and then let the monks in the temple go to the front yard. Look at the lectern and the square below are covered with grass, you just Let them pull the weeds, as long as what I talked about with that nobleman today is completed, then your Baolin Temple will be more prosperous than ten years ago."

"I don't know who the noble person the master is talking about? Could it be..." The abbot couldn't stop the joy in his eyes when he heard Tang Sanzang's words. Ten years ago, it was still beautiful, and it could be guessed with one hand.

"The abbot will naturally know later, but I hope you will do as I said first. Although the matter is simple, but if you dissatisfy the nobleman, the things that should have come naturally may fall through like this, then I have no way to help you Yes." Tang Sanzang said with a smile without answering.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now. If Baolin Temple can really restore its prosperity ten years ago, I will immediately resign as abbot and ask Master Sanzang to preside over Baolin Temple!" The abbot nodded quickly, looking at Tang Sanzang excitedly.

"Master Abbot, put this aside for now, and we can talk about it later when things are done." Tang Sanzang waved his hand.

Master Abbot excitedly cleared the small courtyard, and soon his voice of mobilizing monks came from outside. The monks rushed towards the front yard with weeding tools, and the surroundings of the small courtyard immediately became quiet.

"Master, why are you helping that monk? Didn't he look down on you yesterday?" Zhu Tianpeng looked at Tang Sanzang with some puzzlement.

"He was once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years. If it were me, I probably wouldn't give the monk a good face. And I didn't help him, I wanted to help the three hundred or so monks in this monastery. What's wrong with those little monks?" Tang Sanzang shook his head with a smile, sat down again, and looked towards the east sky, "My master also took in many orphans back then, and I was one of them."

Everyone's expression changed slightly upon hearing the words.

Ao Xiaobai stepped forward and grabbed Tang Sanzang's hand, coquettishly said: "Master, you still have Xiaobai."

"Yeah, Xiaobai is the most obedient." Tang Sanzang smiled and reached out to pinch Ao Xiaobai's cute face. He also felt the caring eyes of Zhu Tianpeng and Sha Wanjing, and his heart was warm.

……

The words were divided into two parts. After Sun Wukong left the small courtyard, he flew towards the imperial city for more than [-] miles, waiting for the mighty hunting team.

The one at the front is wearing a golden soft armor, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, about 26 or seven years old, riding a maroon horse, holding a big bow in his hand, pulling the bow like a full moon, shooting an arrow, and a hare responds The arrow fell, and a group of officials nearby immediately patted their horses forward, praising the rabbit, and a soldier dismounted to fetch the rabbit, and presented it with both hands high.

Hearing the compliments from the courtiers and guards, the crown prince blushed, as proud as if he had killed a big tiger with an arrow.

"Oh, it's just a domesticated rabbit, the prince is too easy to fool." Sun Wukong looked at the rabbit and curled his lips, and looked at the prince with a slightly lowered gaze. He looked around and thought about it. How to lead him to Baolin Temple.

The first arrow will pay off, the prince's interest is also raised, and he continues to pat the horse and run forward, rushing to the front, sitting on the horse is the first in the field, so he slowly distanced himself from the guards and officials behind him .

The domesticated rabbits didn't scatter much, and the prince ran too fast, and the guards didn't have time to release them, so except for shooting a wild rabbit later, the prince basically didn't shoot any prey.
