The old man saw that Tang Sanzang was a man of great talent and had the demeanor of a great monk, and hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "You monk, you are late."

Tang Sanzang exclaimed, "Old donor, what do you mean?"

The old man said, "If you had come earlier, I would have given the monks a meal and they would have eaten their fill. Three liters of cooked rice, a piece of white cloth, and ten copper coins."

Tang Sanzang bowed again and said, "Old donor, I am not here to eat."

"If you are not here to eat, what are you doing here?"

"I am the imperial envoy of the Tang Dynasty in the East who is going to the West to obtain the scriptures. I have arrived at your place now, but it is already dark. Please listen to me. I heard the sound of drums and cymbals in your house, so I came to ask for a place to stay. I will leave at dawn."

Hearing that he was from the Tang Dynasty, the old man shook his hand and said, "Monk, don't lie to me. It's 54,000 miles from the Tang Dynasty to here. How can you come here alone?"

"Old donor, you are right." Tang Sanzang agreed, pointed behind him and continued, "But I have three little disciples who have helped me to get here."

It was dark at this time, and the old man couldn't see if there was anyone behind Tang Sanzang.

He took a look and saw nothing, so he said so.

Then the old man withdrew his gaze and said to him: "Since you have a disciple, why don't you come with me?"

Tang Sanzang turned around and called out: "Disciple, come here."

The three of them heard the master's call, led the horses, carried the loads, and rushed in without asking any questions.

The old man fell to the ground in shock, saying "Monsters are coming! Monsters are coming!"

Tang Sanzang helped him up and said, "Don't be afraid, it's not a monster, it's my disciple."

The old man said tremblingly, "Such a handsome master, why did you find such an ugly disciple!"

Tang Sanzang said, "Although the appearance is not good, but he can subdue dragons and tigers, catch monsters and demons."

Seeing this, Zhu Bajie teased, "You old man are really something. Although I am a little ugly, I have not done any evil here. Why do you call me a monster right away?

I am exhausted from walking all the way. Why don't you quickly prepare vegetarian food so that our master and disciple can have a good meal.

If you have any difficulties, our brothers can help you."

Looking at this pig face, the old man was almost scared to death.

Tang Sanzang shouted, "Bajie, don't scare the old man!"

Looking at the appearance of these people, they all look like monsters. However, with Tang Sanzang around, the old man gradually relaxed.

The old man seemed to be unconvinced, and helped Tang Sanzang walk slowly.

The three brothers had already entered the inner courtyard, tied up their horses, and left their luggage.

There were a few monks chanting in the hall. Zhu Bajie scooped up his long mouth and shouted, "What sutra are you chanting, monk?"

When the monks heard the question, they suddenly looked up at the outsider, with a long mouth and big ears. He was thick and had a broad back and shoulders, and his voice was like thunder.

Sun Wukong and Sha Seng were not very good-looking. There were several monks in the hall, and everyone was afraid.

The monk was still chanting, and the head of the class told him to go. It was difficult to look at the bell.Ring the bell, and leave the Buddha statue behind.

Stumbling and crawling, never crossing the threshold.

Seeing those people stumbling and crawling, the three clapped their hands and laughed. The monks became more and more terrified, kowtowed and bumped their heads, each caring about their lives, and ran away.

Tang Sanzang supported the old man and walked into the hall. The lights were all off, and the three were still laughing.

Tang Sanzang scolded: "I taught you every morning and reminded you every day. You didn't know your place when you walked into the door, and you scared the old donor, scared away the chanting monks, and ruined other people's good things. Isn't it my fault?"

The three people who were laughing originally lowered their heads and said nothing after hearing Tang Sanzang's scolding.

Seeing that Tang Sanzang could really control the three people, the old man believed that Tang Sanzang was their master, and hurriedly turned back and bowed, saying: "Elder, we have just turned off the lights and scattered flowers, and the Buddhist ceremony is about to end."

Zhu Bajie said: "Since the account is settled, put out the scattered food, we will eat and sleep."

The old man shouted: "Light the lamp! Light the lamp!"

The family members heard it and were surprised, saying: "There are many incense and candles in the hall, why do you want to light the lamp?"

When several servants came out to see, this dark hole, even with torches and lanterns, rushed over, suddenly looked up and saw Bajie and Sha Seng, panicked and dropped the torch, and suddenly pulled away to close the middle door.

He shouted inside: "The monster is coming! The monster is coming!"

As the few people were chatting, they heard the door open and an old man walked out, leaning on a cane and saying: "What kind of evil demon is it that comes to my Shanmen family in the dark night?"

The old man sitting in front hurriedly stood up and went behind the screen door and said: "Brother, don't shout, it's not an evil demon, it's the Arhat who came to the Tang Dynasty to seek Buddhist scriptures in the East. Although the disciples look fierce, they are indeed evil people with good intentions."

The old man just put down his cane and saluted the four of them.

He also sat in front and shouted: "Bring tea and prepare the food."

After shouting several times, the servants were trembling with fear and did not dare to close the tent.

Under the repeated urging of the old man, only then did they call out thirty or forty people, big and small, to come out... (To read the exciting novel, go to Fulu Novel Network!)

The monk and the old man had a question-and-answer conversation, and the crowd was no longer afraid.

They arranged a table on the top and invited Tang Seng to sit on it.

Three tables were placed on both sides, and the three of them were invited to sit. Two old men sat at the table in front.

First, vegetarian fruits and vegetables were placed, and then noodles, rice, snacks, and noodle soup were arranged neatly.

Tang Sanzang raised his chopsticks and read a volume of the Sutra of Starting the Fast. []

Zhu Bajie was a little anxious to eat, and secondly, he was a little hungry, so he didn't wait for Tang Seng to finish the sutra. He took the red lacquer wooden bowl, poured a bowl of white rice into his mouth, and finished it.

The servants saw him and said, "Grandpa! You have a throat made of bricks, so smooth and shiny!"

Tang Sanzang had not finished a scroll of scriptures, but he had already eaten five or six bowls, and then they picked up their chopsticks and ate vegetarian food together.

Whether it was rice, noodles, fruits or snacks, they just ate a lot and shouted, "More rice! More rice!"

Seeing that Zhu Bajie was still not full, Sun Wukong shouted, "My dear brother,Eat less, it's better than starving in the valley, just be half full."

Zhu Bajie said while eating: "As the saying goes, if the monks are not full, it's better to bury them alive."

The two elders bowed and said: "To be honest, sir, we are not afraid in the daytime. For an elder with a big belly like this, we can afford to feed hundreds of people.

It's just that it's late at night. After collecting the leftovers, we can only steam one stone of flour, five buckets of rice and a few tables of vegetarian food. We have to invite a few relatives and monks to share the blessings.

I didn't expect you to come and scare the monks away. I didn't even dare to invite the relatives and neighbors on May 3. I offered them all to you. If you are not full, I will steam more."

Zhu Bajie nodded heavily and said: "Steam more! Steam more! ”

After saying this, he put away the table and food, Tang Sanzang bowed, thanked for the food, and asked: "Old donor, what's your surname?"

The old man said: "My surname is Chen."

Tang Sanzang was overjoyed when he heard this, and clasped his hands and said: "This is me, the poor monk Hua Zong!"

The old man said: "Master, your surname is also Chen?"

Tang Sanzang said: "Yes, my surname is also Chen. May I ask what kind of fasting you just did?"

Hearing this, the old man's mood suddenly dimmed, and he said listlessly: "It was a pre-death fasting."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed. Looking at these, even if the brain is slow, you know what is hidden.
