Chapter 38: What do you think of me?
The old monk said, "I don't dare! I don't dare!"
He asked again, "How long is the distance between the two gentlemen from Dongtu to here?"
Li Fu replied, "After leaving the border of Chang'an City and walking more than five thousand miles, I came across the Two Boundary Mountains. That was the border of the Tang Dynasty, and I accepted this disciple there."
"Then we set out from Liangjie Mountain and traveled all the way to the Kingdom of Hami in Western Fan. We traveled for two months and traveled another five to six thousand miles before we arrived at this precious place."
Hearing this, the old monk said, "That is actually thousands of miles away. I and my disciples have spent their lives in vain. We seem to be older, but in fact we have never even left this mountain gate."
"Like the frog sitting in the well, he can only look at the sky above."
"It's like the rotten trees in the mountains, they don't have any great blessings."
Li Fu advised, "Old master, please don't be humble. I wonder how long you will live?"
The old monk said slowly, "I am not very old. I am only 270 years old."
When Wukong heard the words, he felt a little kind. He thought of his long-lived monkey grandson in the Water Curtain Cave of Huaguo Mountain.
He said, "Are you still my descendant of all generations?"
Li Fu knew that the monkey was deliberately looking for trouble, so he advised, "Be careful what you say! Be careful what you say! Don't be so ignorant that you collide with others."
The old monk asked Wukong, "Master, how old are you?"
Sun Xingzhe said, "Hey! I don't dare to say it! I don't dare to say it!"
The old monk was only a disciple of the holy monks of the Tang Dynasty at that time. He loved to go crazy and talk crazy things.
He didn't mind and stopped interfering. He just asked me to offer tea.
A young novice monk came in, holding a mutton-fat jade plate with three blue tea cups inlaid with gold.
There was another young novice monk who brought a silver pot and poured three cups of tea.
The scent of osmanthus is astounding, and the exquisite tea set is also very eye-catching.
Li Fu has never seen anyone so extravagant, not even his father.
Li Fu could only praise, "What a great object! It is really a beautiful vessel for serving delicious food!"
The old monk had a smile on his face, and he was very pleased with it, but he said, "It's staining my eyes!"
"Sir, where did you come from? You came from the heaven above!"
"There must be many rare things to see."
"It seems that a simple tool like mine is not worthy of praise."
The old monk's turbid eyes rolled around, and he asked, "I wonder if the elder has come from the upper state, do you have any treasures that I can share with my disciples?"
Li Fu said modestly, "It's so pitiful!"
"How can there be any treasure in my eastern land?"
"Even if there are some rare treasures, how can we bring them along such a long journey?"
Wukong on the side suddenly interjected, "Master! Master! Don't belittle yourself like this and increase the prestige of others!"
"I saw a cassock in our package the day before yesterday. Isn't it a big treasure?"
"Master, just show it to them and open the eyes of these monks!"
When the monks heard that the treasure was a cassock, they all sneered.
Wukong asked, "Why are you laughing?"
The host who greeted the door said, "Master, you said that the cassock is a treasure, which is really ridiculous."
"Don't look at a place like mine, it's actually a backwater."
"But people like me have more than twenty or thirty pieces of cassocks."
"As for my ancestor, he has been a monk here for 256 years and has seven to eight hundred cassocks!"
After the hospital master finished speaking, he seemed to be afraid of not believing it, so he immediately ordered, "Hurry up and take out a few of our cassocks to look at!"
I don’t know if the monks in the monastery are deliberately showing off or showing off.
The novice opened the storehouse, and the tutu carried out the cabinet.
A total of twelve bodies fell into the main hall of the monastery, on the patio floor.
The owner of the hospital opened the lock, ordered people to set up hangers on both sides, and tied ropes around it.
Pieces of treasured cassocks were shaken off and hung on ropes for Li Fu to look at.
Although Li Fu knew this would happen, he was still speechless.
This hall is full of embroidery and the walls are covered with silk. It is really extravagant and extravagant.
Before Li Fu spoke, Wukong looked around and said, "What are these things?"
"You dare to show off like this when you sell gold for embroidery?"
Arrogant Monkey laughed loudly and said, "Okay! Okay! Okay! Put all your things away! Put them away!"
"I'll also take out ours and show them to you!"
Li Fu grabbed Wukong and whispered, "Wukong! When you go out, don't reveal your wealth. Don't compete with others for wealth! I'm single and my home is thousands of miles away, so I'm afraid something will go wrong."
Wukong smiled and said, "Master, you are right when you say that I am waiting to go out, but it is not true that I am alone. The merits of revealing the meaning of the rotation and guarding are not just decorations."
"The placement of the 'Guanyin Temple' here is actually a deliberate arrangement. It is not a coincidence."
"Even if this is the case, if we don't raise some issues, how will this level and difficulty be resolved?"
Li Fu thought about it, and it seemed to be the same.
If there is no antecedent, there will be no consequence.
There is no way for blessings and misfortunes, but people call for it.
During this journey of learning, Tathagata Buddha forcibly set the key performance indicators for the nine-nine-nine-eighty-one difficulties.
If you dodge everywhere, Guanyin Bodhisattva will not be able to complete it.
Who knows if He will become angry and angry, and what other methods he will resort to?
Li Fu thought about this and said to Wukong, "Disciple, go and get the cassock that is your master's robe."
When the traveler saw that his master had figured it out, he couldn't help but remind him, "Master! When I walked in the world in my early years, I knew that rare and interesting things should not be exposed to greedy and cunning people."
"If not, once you see it, your heart will be moved."
"If you touch his heart, you will definitely have evil plans."
"Invoking disasters and causing disasters can lead to the loss of one's family wealth, or the death of one's life."
"There is so much extravagance here, what you and I are about to do is like a child raising a fire in a thatched cottage, and it is very dangerous."
"But master, don't worry."
"Put it all on Lao Sun!"
After Wukong finished speaking, he went to untie the package.
Before he took out his cassock, he saw a burst of rays of light.
He took out an oil paper bag from the package. Before he opened it, the monks in the Zen Temple all held their breath.
Even more alarmed, Wukong shook off his cassock, and in an instant the room was filled with red light and colorful energy.
The monks in the monastery almost suffocated when they saw this incredibly beautiful cassock.
How could the old monk have seen such a treasure? Calm your mind and take a deep breath.
His eyes suddenly became clear, and he no longer looked like the sloth, swallowing slowly.
He slipped and knelt directly in front of Li Fu.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The old monk kowtowed three times.
He raised his face, his face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were full of tears, "I really have no fate with my disciple!"
Li Fu helped the old monk up and asked, "What does the old monk have to say?"
The old monk said, "Master, this treasure is not like an ordinary thing. It has just been unfolded in front of us, but it is getting late."
"Lao Naihe's eyes are so dizzy that he can't see clearly or understand clearly. Isn't this a failure!"
Li Fu said, "Let me hold a lamp and watch it with you for a while."
The old monk complained bitterly, "Grandpa's treasure is already very shiny. If you light up the lamp again, it will be even more dazzling. Don't want to look more carefully."
Wukong asked, "Then what do you think?"
The old monk said, "If I am merciful and don't worry about the disciples and others, I will ask them to take it to the back room and look at it carefully all night. I will return it to the master early tomorrow morning and send you to the west."
