Orochi Longevity

Elder Jin Chi and others were too excited, and quickly walked away with the cassock.

The snake waited on the spot for quite a while, only to see a young novice come back, and apologized to Xuanzang and his disciples:

"Master, please come with me."

Not long after, the little novice took the two of them to the nearby meditation room and settled down.

The snake spat out a scarlet letter, and hesitated for a while... Now that Master Xuanzang and Elder Jinchi are separated, it can only choose a place to go to inquire about the news.

After thinking for a while, the snake finally chose Elder Jinchi's room and sneaked in.

This choice was made for two reasons.

First, in the original story of Journey to the West, it is recorded that the Tang monk and his disciples lived in the Guanyin Temple. Because of the beautiful cassocks, the elder Jinchi was jealous, and he did not hesitate to kill people to seize the treasure.

The snake thought that this matter would never happen, but after its observation, it found that the matter actually matched the original story step by step.

Could it be that... Jin Chi, who has always been kind-hearted and kind-hearted, would really do such a cruel thing?

Could it be that...everything recorded in the story is bound to happen?

A sense of absurdity arose in the snake's heart. It felt that the Journey to the West that the girl said was actually similar to the human book.

Second, the snake knew that the great sage Equaling Heaven had hands and eyes all over the sky, and just now there were many people with mixed eyes, and with the help of the incense of the Buddhist temple as a cover, it was able to spy a little or two under the noses of everyone.

But if it went towards Xuanzang's master and disciple in the open, it would definitely be discovered by him, and his life would be in jeopardy.

In fact, no matter which way it goes, it can get more useful information.

But Snake prefers to choose a safer way.

In the face of ordinary people like Elder Jinchi, it can even sneak into the room and observe closely.

After thinking about it, the snake quickly moved into action.

It groped quietly into the Zen room, only to see that the oil lamp was lit inside, and Elder Jinchi was sitting on the futon and chanting scriptures.

The candlelight flickered slightly, Elder Jinchi's eyes were closed tightly, his face was solemn and solemn, and his mouth, nose and nose breathed slowly and gently. Holding an extremely gorgeous cassock in his arms, he rubbed his fingers on the cassock, as if he was carefully examining the Buddhist scriptures through the candlelight, and also seemed to be thinking about something.

The snake didn't approach rashly, but quietly hid in the dark, ready to move.

Behind Jinchi stood several monks, two of whom were Guangwu and Guangzhi whom Snake knew.

This group of monks all looked dignified, with an indescribably complex look on their faces, but their eyes were somewhat empty.

No one made a sound. After a long period of silence, there was a sudden movement in the room.

"Elder, elder, you...why are you crying?"

Seeing Guangzhi walking forward with a trembling voice, a group of monks immediately stepped forward and surrounded Jinchi, very concerned.

But Elder Jinchi wiped his tears and said:

"...I...I want to keep this cassock."

Guangwu was stunned, and said in a low voice

"...Master has studied Buddhism for more than 200 years, and spread Buddhism in this southern Yunnan region. He dare not slack off every day. Now, with great difficulty, the Guanyin Temple has been built, and the golden statue of Guanyin has been erected for the people to worship...The incense is also flourishing...he For Avalokitesvara to have such a prestige in the Tang Dynasty, the master must have at least eight successes!"

"In terms of qualifications and prestige, can the master not compare to such a smooth-talking young monk?"

A monk next to him immediately said in surprise:

"Guangwu, how could you be so rude to Bodhisattva?"

Guangzhi said:

"So what if I say it, I want to say it too! His grandma, the monks in our monastery have dedicated countless lives to Guanyin! He repays us like this? Which one here is not more qualified to be a sutra learner than that young monk?"

"Why would Avalokitesvara treat us like this?! Not to mention that he didn't choose an elder to be the scripture learner...Why would he give this beautiful cassock to the young monk? The master has worked hard for hundreds of years, not to mention it is a treasure, even Avalokitesvara manifested his holiness and expressed condolences, but I have never seen it!"

"But Guanyin is a good old man. He not only went to meet the monk who appeared out of nowhere several times, but also chose him as a sutra learner and gave him treasures... People say that Guanyin has a compassionate heart. Pooh! I think he has the most cruel heart It's him!"

"I, Guangzhi, just leave the words here. I didn't learn Buddhism and become a monk for the purpose of helping Shizi Guanyin. If the master hadn't taken me in back then, I would have been taken away by wild wolves! How did the master treat me these years? Guangzhi knows it in his heart."

"Since master wants to keep this beautiful cassock, I will grab it even if I grab it!"

"Besides, this cassock should have belonged to the master. It is what Guanyin owes him, and he deserves it!"

As soon as Guangzhi's words came out, the surrounding monks immediately became enthusiastic.

Most of the monks present here are abandoned sons picked up by Jinchi, some of them are older, and they have seen Jinchi's poor and destitute appearance in his early years. Even at that time, Jin Chi would rather eat the soil and eat grass by himself than abandon anyone.

The monks deeply know how kind and benevolent Jin Chi is, and it is also because of Jin Chi's example that they follow to worship Guanyin and become monks to save the world.

And now, they can also empathize with Jin Chi's helplessness and distress! In the end, no matter whether Jin Chi was willing or not, they all wanted to keep the cassock.

"That's right, why?"

"This cassock belongs to us!"

"...I didn't want to be a monk. If it weren't for the master, who would want to abide by the monk's rules and precepts?"

"...Yes, if it wasn't for Master, I might have already had a family full of children and grandchildren, enjoying the family happiness."

"Bullshit Guanyin, you still treat us like this!"

The monks believe that the splendid cassock is their reward for a lifetime.

Surrounded by the crowd, Jin Chi wept silently, the angry voices of the monks could be heard, his cloudy eyes finally regained some light.

"hiss……"

Seeing this scene, the snake was shocked.

Jin Chi's tears shocked it.

Why is Jin Chi crying? Is it wronged or sad? Is it the pain you can't ask for?

The snake is inexplicably enlightened.

Perhaps, on the contrary, it was the monks who made him cry. They made Jin Chi feel that his life was not in vain.

"...You guys... come here, get closer..."

Jin Chi wiped away his tears, threw the Jinlan cassock aside casually, and looked at the disciples seriously one by one:

"...All of you, let's go, let's all go! Let everyone go! Take your money, leave Guanyin Temple, and do whatever you want."

"...Let's not worship Guanyin anymore, never again."

The monks were overjoyed when they heard this, and they all thought about the wonderful life of leaving the monastery in the future.

Seeing this scene, Jin Chi showed a look of relief.

"Great! Master, you finally think about it!"

"It should have been like this!"

"Since this is the case, we will burn down the Guanyin Temple and burn it all down! I wonder who will worship Guanyin in the future!"

"Okay, burn it, burn it, burn it all!"

The monks shouted excitedly.

At this moment, the snake suddenly heard a buzzing sound of flies, as if a fly was flying away.

The snake was stunned at first, because the insects in the Guanyin Temple were not close, and it lived here for a long time and had never seen a single fly.

But then, the snake reacted.

The fly just now must have been transformed by the Monkey King, who heard the monks say that they were going to burn down the Buddhist monastery!
