"Everyone in Chang'an City knows where Master Xuanzang is located." The abbot smiled, "He is in the palace right now, explaining Buddhist scriptures to the new emperor."
"Explain the Buddhist scriptures..." Ye Chen murmured, and he suddenly remembered that Xuanzang went to the west to learn the scriptures because of many errors in the existing Buddhist scriptures in Datang.
At this moment, Xuanzang was preaching to Tang Taizong in the palace. This was justified from the perspective of the development of the plot, so he bowed slightly to the abbot again, "Thanks for the abbot's guidance."
"It's okay." The abbot smiled, then turned around to return to the temple, but as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by Ye Chen again.
"Master Abbot, please stay here. I would like to ask why the gate of this temple is closed in daylight?" Ye Chen had been worried about this matter and was confused.
"A mage in this temple passed away today, so..." When the abbot said this, the corners of his eyes drooped, and Ye Chen saw the sadness in his eyes.
"This...I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask more about this." Ye Chen hurriedly bowed deeply, cursing in his heart that he should not be nosy.
"It's okay, it's okay, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. If the donor has nothing else, the poor monk will go back first." After the abbot finished, Ye Chen quickly agreed, and the abbot walked into the temple.
In the next time, Ye Chen has been wandering in Chang'an City, not because he has such a leisurely and elegant, but because he just discovered that he has no money.
Ye Chen was a little hungry, but he really didn't want to beg for food like a beggar. He walked in the city like this, and he slowly came to a main street.
The main street is much wider than other streets. Here, Ye Chen can see the location of the imperial palace at a glance. Now, Xuanzang is in that palace that doesn't seem far away.
"It looks so close, but ordinary people probably won't be able to walk there for a lifetime." Ye Chen thought to himself, sighed, and then left the main street.
The lack of money on his body caused him a huge distress, and it was getting dark, and he realized that it was a trivial matter to be hungry, and having no place to sleep at night was the biggest problem.
He didn't dare to wander the street alone. If he was seen by the soldiers, it would be a trivial matter to be driven out of the city. If he was identified as an assassin or something, he couldn't argue.
Chapter 1336
Ye Chen saw that it was dark, and according to the information he inquired today, the gate of Chang'an City would be closed in about half an hour, and it would be the curfew time.
Since the war has just passed, Chang'an City was not open until the evening when there were any entertainment activities, and it coincided with the disaster year. How could anyone dare to have fun under the emperor's eyes?
So if Ye Chen still didn't find a place to live by that time, he could only wander in Chang'an City. If he was discovered by the soldiers, he would inevitably have a lawsuit.
Ye Chen was a little helpless about the current situation, allowing him to have an immortal body, and he could not escape these worldly influences.
After all, he is not Monkey King. He has that kind of ability, let alone a place to live. Now he should be able to make a lot of silver taels at his fingertips. Why don't he have no place to eat and sleep?
Thinking of Monkey King, Ye Chen thought of Wuzhi Mountain a hundred miles away, "Is that monkey waiting for Tang Seng at the foot of the mountain now?" Ye Chen thought silently.
"It's so envious of making a noise in the Heavenly Palace." Ye Chen smiled, thinking that he would soon become one of the Four Westbounders, and he couldn't help but have a new vision for the future.
When Ye Chen's thoughts drifted far away, a small bun shop next to him suddenly opened the door. Ye Chen was attracted by the sound of the door opening, and he couldn't help but look over.
The one who opened the door was a young woman who seemed to be about 30 years old. She did not expect that there were still people wandering on the street at this late hour, so when she saw Ye Chen, she was a little surprised.
"Brother, don't you go home so late? A curfew will be coming soon." The young woman kindly reminded Ye Chen.
Ye Chen nodded, with a bitter smile on his face, "It's not that I don't go home, it's homeless. I wonder if the lady boss can take me in for one night?"
The young woman looked at Ye Chen carefully, but did not immediately answer, "Brother, wait, I will go in and ask my husband, if he agrees, you can stay here for one night."
"Thanks a lot." Ye Chen thanked him gratefully. The young woman did not speak, but just nodded gently, and then walked into the bun shop.
Ye Chen waited quietly outside the door, but the young woman hadn't come out for a long time. Ye Chen sighed, knowing that the other party might think he was a bad person, so he didn't want to take him in at will.
"It seems that I didn't tell me directly that I was afraid of hurting my heart." Ye Chen murmured softly, and then turned around to leave.
"Brother, walk slowly." The young woman's voice sounded again. Ye Chen turned his head and saw the young woman holding a basin in his hand. "My husband agrees that my brother will stay here for one night."
After finishing speaking, the young woman poured the water in the basin in her hand on the street, "I was helping my husband to scrub his body just now, and I was a little scornful of my little brother. To apologize, I will invite my little brother to dinner."
"No need, no, I can't be thankful enough for allowing me to stay overnight, so how am I embarrassed to have another meal." Ye Chen waved his hand quickly, but his stomach rang untimely.
Although Ye Chen's stomach was not loud, there was no one on the street now, and it was very quiet. The young woman still heard the "protest" from Ye Chen's stomach.
"Puff." The young woman laughed, covering her mouth. "It's okay, come in. I don't have any good things here. Only the buns that are not sold during the day. If no one eats them, these buns will be thrown away. Up."
"Then...then I would like to thank you first." Ye Chen bowed with both hands, and then followed the young woman into the door of the bun shop, passed through a small courtyard, and entered the bun shop.
Chapter 1337
After entering the steamed bun shop, the young woman asked Ye Chen to sit down first. She went to the back kitchen. After a while, she walked out with two steaming steaming steamed buns.
"There are only some leftover steamed stuffed buns, please ask my little brother to just take it." The young woman smiled and sat at the table, "Would you like a drink to warm yourself up?"
"This... isn't so good. After eating your buns, you still have to drink your wine." Although Ye Chen wanted to drink, he was a little embarrassed.
"What's this, it's just a pot of wine." The young woman smiled, then stood up and walked to the counter, picked up a pot of wine, but she thought about it, and walked into the back kitchen.
Ye Chen waited for a while, the young woman finally walked out of the back kitchen, holding a plate of sauced beef in her hand, walked to the counter to pick up the wine, and sat down at Ye Chen's table again.
"The shop is small, there are only these to eat, brother don't dislike it." The young woman smiled and put the sauced beef on the table.
"I don't dare to dislike it. It's the best for the lady boss to take me in. Now she treats me with good wine and food. I am grateful." Ye Chen said, picking up a bun.
This bun didn't know what the stuffing was. Ye Chen felt very fragrant when he smelled it. This made his index finger wide open, and he couldn't help but put the bun into his mouth, biting off most of it in one bite.
"It's delicious, but what kind of stuffed bun is this? Why doesn't it seem that the meat is not like any kind of meat?" Ye Chen chewed the bun, only thinking that the bun was very delicious.
"Pork, our family has secret stuffing, so it tastes different from other people's steamed buns." The young woman's praise to Ye Chen was obviously very useful.
"Fragrant." Ye Chen hasn't eaten anything for a few days. This steamed bun is no less than a delicacy to him. Now even if someone exchanges silver for Ye Chen, Ye Chen may not be able to give him the steamed bun.
"Brother eat slowly, I will go to see my husband, and when the younger brother finishes eating, I will arrange a place for the younger brother." The young woman finished, stood up and walked into the back kitchen.
Ye Chen was still a little nervous when the young woman was there, but now that the young woman is gone, Ye Chen completely let go of his stomach. He first poured himself a glass of wine, and then drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp.
"Good wine." Ye Chen exclaimed. He picked up another piece of beef and put it in his mouth, "Beef is also good meat."
Although I don't understand why the proprietress is so enthusiastic to herself, Ye Chen only regards Changan's folkways as simple and hospitable.
After a quarter of an hour, Ye Chen finally ate and drank enough. He gobbled up all the buns, leaving no trace of beef and wine.
After eating, Ye Chen sat at the table holding his stomach. Although this meal was not luxurious, it was no less delicious to Ye Chen now.
But for a long time after dinner, the lady boss did not show up. Ye Chen didn't know what the lady boss was doing, so he had to walk to the door of the back kitchen.
"Madam boss, are you inside?" Ye Chen asked softly, but no one answered him.
Ye Chen put his ear on the door, and he heard the sound of sharpening knives coming from the kitchen, which made him make sure that there was someone in the kitchen, so Ye Chen knocked on the door lightly.
"Hey, here." The proprietress’ voice came from the back kitchen. Soon, the door of the back kitchen was opened. Ye Chen poked his head out to see what the back kitchen looked like, but the proprietress who walked out immediately Closed.
"Brother, are you full?" The young woman smiled and looked at Ye Chen.
"Yeah, I'm full, thank you lady boss again." Ye Chen said, making a bee.
