Chapter 10
After a while, an old monk roared angrily from inside: "Are you looking for a fight? Don't you know I am a monk? Only the scholars and officials from the royal city burn incense will I go out to greet him. An outside monk, please ask me to pick him up?"
The monk's voice came: "Master, that man is not an ordinary traveling monk, he came from the Tang Dynasty in the East."
"Where are the monks who come from, they are also walking. Besides, the Tang Dynasty is so far away from here? He said that it was from the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty?" Although the monk was still angry, his voice was obviously much smaller. Obviously, the Tang Dynasty sign still worked.
After a while, footsteps came and everyone saw an old monk wearing a Vairocana hat and a cassock walking out.
The old monk stood at the door, looking up and down at Tang Sanzang in front of him.
I saw Tang Sanzang wearing a treasure robes, and his head was even more shiny. He looked at his robes again and immediately looked ashamed on his face. Then he snorted angrily and said, "Outside, our temple does not understand the monks who travel outside, there are noble people inside, so you can't disturb them. If you want to live, go to the front porch at the door and squat all night."
After saying that, the old monk sneered and turned around and left.
Zhu Gangli was displeased when he heard this and shouted, "How do you, old monk? The ancients said that the Ancient Temples are all inns of our masters. There are three liters of rice cents when you see the mountain gate. If you don't keep us, why are you still insulting us? He actually asked us to squat on the front porch, do you think we are dogs?"
The old monk glanced at him and said, "You fat monster with big ears is worthy of being an ancient sage? If you want to live, squat down at the door, otherwise you will pack up and get out of here!"
Zhu Gangli wanted to say something, and grabbed Zhu Gangli with one hand. Tang Sanzang took a step forward and clasped his hands together and said, "This is not what ordinary ancient sages said. This is the Buddhist rule! As an abbot, you don't abide by the rules, that's ruling."
The old monk said disdainfully: "So what if you are rude? The temple is my temple. If you want to live in it and not let anyone live, it is my final say."
Tang Sanzang shook his head and said, "You still don't understand what I mean. This is the Buddhist rule. The Buddha established it. For all Buddhist disciples, there will be one point in the world's temple... So, this is not your temple, but the temple of monks in the world. You are just taking the monks in the world to take care of them."
These words were learned by Tang Sanzang along the way from monkey, pig Gangli, and Sha Wujing.
After all, if he wants to pretend to be a monk, he naturally has to be more professional.
The old monk was speechless by Tang Sanzang's words, his face turned red, and he stomped his feet in anger and said, "I don't care about the rules. In short, I have the final say in this temple. If I don't accept you, I won't accept you. Leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for chasing people!"
When Tang Sanzang heard this, he was not angry, but instead tilted his head and smiled: "So, there is nothing to talk about?"
"No negotiation!" The old monk waved his hand, and more than a dozen monks around rushed in, each with a stick.
Tang Sanzang looked at them with a sympathy face, then left the temple, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, you have to do this, then I can't blame me... Wujing, close the door and let Wukong go!"
Sun Wukong was originally an impatient person and was too lazy to talk nonsense. When he heard Tang Sanzang's order, he took out a golden cudgel from his ear without saying a word and blew it on the ground. The earth shook. Sun Wukong smiled grimly at the monks in front of him: "Everyone, are you ready to be beaten?"
"The doors and windows of the eldest brother are closed. Don't worry, no one can escape." Sha Wujing said.
These people are just ordinary monks, and they have never seen such a huge force and are immediately frightened.
A monk whispered to the abbot: "Abbot, this is too scary, why don't you promise them?"
The old monk trembled and shouted, "The elder who stayed in the house, what do you want?"
Sun Wukong said, "I don't want to do anything. Those who are tactful should quickly clean up a thousand or eight hundred rooms for us to live in. Those who are tactful should not be tactful. My old Sun's stick is not eye-catching!"
While speaking, Sun Wukong's golden cudgel became longer and pressed directly on the roof. All the monks were exclaiming.
The old monk was frightened and shouted in a crying voice: "There are only two or three hundred houses in this temple. Where can I go to clean up a thousand or eight hundred rooms for you?"
Sun Wukong said with a ferocious look: "The room is not enough? It's simple, isn't it enough for you to move out?"
The old monk was stunned and shouted, "We have been living in the temple where our children live, and we have to pass on the master and the master to our generation. We have to pass on the children and grandchildren... we can't move!"
Sun Wukong didn't say anything nonsense. He stomped his feet and chopped the big bluestone floor in a radius of ten meters with a bang: "Can you move it?"
The old monk was so scared that his bones were soft and his muscles were numb. He sat on the ground and shouted: "Master, don't do it, you can move it, you can move it!"
Three minutes later, the door opened, and Sun Wukong walked out and said to Tang Sanzang: "Master, it's done."
Tang Sanzang asked, "Can you stay?"
"You can live, you can live! Elder, as long as you take good care of your disciple, don't let him move a stick, you can live wherever you want! You can choose two or three hundred houses at all levels." The old monk shouted.
Tang Sanzang smiled: "Can you chat?"
The old monk said with a flushed face: "The master is the imperial envoy of the country, and the young monk is in trouble to welcome him. Now he is in a deserted mountain, but the vulgar eyes don't know the etiquette, so he meets the master. He asked him, "Is he eating vegetarian food along the way? Is he eating meat? We can go and make a meal."
Tang Sanzang was stunned: "You still have any meat?"
Along the way, Tang Sanzang also passed by many temples, but this was the first time he asked about meat and vegetarian food.
The old monk smiled bitterly and said, "Elder, don't know that our temple belongs to the official family. I am actually not a monk. To be precise, he is a monk and is responsible for managing the place. We are here to receive the high-ranking officials and nobles in the royal city. How can they eat vegetarian food? So the temple also has meat and fish."
When Tang Sanzang heard this, his eyes shone: "Then you have to eat meat!"
The old monk was stunned: "Elder, is the rules of the Dongtu Tang Dynasty so far from ours?"
Tang Sanzang, based on the principle that if you don’t understand me, I will fool you, nodded and said, “Of course it’s big, Buddhism, does it embrace all rivers? It’s said that you should abstain from sex, so don’t you also have a happy Buddha?”
The old monk was obviously a Buddhist layman. He didn't understand what Huanxi Buddha represented. He laughed dryly and said, "So that's it, so what are these grandpas eating?"
Before Sun Wukong and the others could speak, Tang Sanzang said, "They are vegetarians."
Sun Wukong and others rolled their eyes together. Just as they were about to protest, the old monk asked first: "Ah? These grandpas are vegetarian?"
Tang Sanzang said: "Yes, look at them, either monkeys or pigs, they are all vegetarian animals, so of course they are vegetarians."
When Zhu Gangli and others saw that their master cheated his apprentice, they were helpless and had to shout: "If you eat vegetarian food, just eat vegetarian food. Remember, each person has a stone of rice, which is not enough to eat if you don't have enough food."
The old monk responded quickly, then immediately took people to wash the pot and stove, arranged tea and meals in each room, high-palm lights, adjusted tables and chairs, and entertained Tang Sanzang and others.
