"Master Sanzang, please be worshipped by the poor monk!" The old abbot made a very respectful attitude, and even the team's own name changed from "Lao Na" to "Poor Monk".
He was about to bow his head to Tang Sanzang, but how could Tang Seng stand up to such courtesy?So he quickly helped up the old abbot.
"Amitabha, the abbot please hurry up, why do you and I need to be so courteous?" Tang Seng raised the abbot, folded his hands together, and said to the old abbot.
"Master Sanzang can get a bodhisattva's personal robes, and his merit is definitely higher than that of mountain monks like me. How can a poor monk see great virtue in this life, how can he not kneel?"
"The abbot is polite. I don't own this robes. It's just that the Bodhisattva is here for the time being. I didn't intend to take it as my own, so I didn't dare to show it to the abbot to appreciate it. I hope the abbot will forgive me."
Although Tang Seng's excuse was clumsy, how could the old abbot say anything against it at this moment?He only wanted to get this robe now. As for what Tang Seng said, he didn't care at all.
"Master Sanzang, the poor monk really likes this robes when he sees it. Now that he has a relentless request, I hope that the Master will complete it!" After finishing speaking, the old abbot knelt again.
"Don't kneel down, just say what the abbot wants to say, and the poor monk promises you." Seeing this abbot behaved like this, Tang Seng was naturally embarrassed to say anything against it.
"The poor monk just wants to take this robes to watch for one night, and will send the robes back when Master Sanzang travels tomorrow. I wonder if the Master can agree?"
Chapter 1453
"This..." Tang Seng looked helplessly at Monkey King. The missing piece of Monkey King didn't take the robes back, but he didn't look at Tang Seng either. In desperation, he had to look at Ye Chen again and ask for Ye Chen's help.
"Since the abbot has said so, Master, we might as well lend this robes to the abbot for one night, as long as we return it on time tomorrow."
Ye Chen knew that he could not dodge this difficulty, and the robes would fall into the hands of the old abbot anyway, so he had to agree.
Tang Seng's face immediately showed a slight unpleasant look, but he didn't say much, but complained in his heart how Ye Chen could safely hand over such a treasure to this greedy abbot.
Seeing that Tang Seng didn't say much, Sun Wukong gave the robes in his hands to Ye Chen, and let Ye Chen handle the matter. Ye Chen took the robes and sent them directly to the abbot's hands.
"Please also ask the abbot to help properly keep it, and you must not lose it. If this bodhisattva's personal robes are lost by us, we will not be able to bear the guilt of the Bodhisattva."
"Don't worry, don't worry, Lao Na will take good care of it. Even if you lose your life, Lao Na will protect this robe."
As the old abbot said, he took the robes from Ye Chen's hands. In the eyes of everyone, his actions were savage and rude, even no different from direct grabbing.
"I don't know who you want to lose your life to protect this robes tonight." Ye Chen sneered in his heart, the old abbot seemed loyal, but in fact he was full of bad water.
"Amitabha, if this is the case, the three of me went down to rest, and asked the old abbot to take a rest earlier, don't stay up all night because of this robes."
Tang Seng saw that the cassock had been in the hands of others, so he couldn't say anything more, so he had to resign and walked out of the hall with Ye Chen and Monkey King.
The old abbot had already focused on the robes, how could he still care about Tang Seng and his party?So he just sent two little novice monks to take Tang Seng and his party to the resting place.
Ye Chen walked into the room last, he closed the door of the room, and then walked into the room, but saw that Tang Seng did not meditate and rest abnormally today, but looked at himself.
"Ye Chen, why did you give the robes to the old abbot? That is the treasure given to us by the Bodhisattva. If it is lost, how can I face to see the Bodhisattva in the future?"
Tang Seng's tone was with a hint of helplessness and sadness, and Ye Chen suddenly felt sympathy for him after hearing it.
Although this Tang monk used to be a spiritual Zen son ten generations ago, he was very brilliant, but now he is just an ordinary person, and his respect for Bodhisattvas and Buddhas comes from his heart.
Ye Chen suddenly felt that he should not blame the Bodhisattva for everything on Tang Seng's head, so he sat down calmly and looked at Tang Seng.
"It's okay, you'll be back tomorrow morning. Master, don't worry, you, the hericium apprentice, are very capable. If it weren't for him, this robes would not fall into the hands of the old abbot."
"Hey, I'm not doing this to save the three of us." Sun Wukong scratched his head and chuckled. Before Tang Monk could speak, he lay down, and within a short while, he shouted loudly.
Upon seeing this, Ye Chen didn't want to say anything to Tang Sengduo, so he also lay down, but he did not fall asleep, but was always observing the movements outside.
In the middle of the night, when Wan Lai was quiet, Ye Chen suddenly heard something outside the room. He raised his head, but saw that Monkey King was also awake at the moment, looking out the window with him.
"No, it's on fire!" Ye Chen saw a sudden fire outside the window, and at the same time, a thick smoke burst into the room. He quickly sat up and woke Tang Seng also.
Chapter 1454 Burning Guanyin Temple
Tang Seng sat up and didn't know what was happening outside, but soon he could smell the thick smoke coming from outside the house.
"Well, what's going on? Why is there such a thick smoke? Is there a fire in the temple?" Tang Seng looked at Sun Wukong and Ye Chen beside him, but neither of them answered him.
Ye Chen knew the reason for this, but Sun Wukong didn't know it, but he listened carefully to the voice outside the window, but he heard people outside saying "burn the three people inside", so he immediately understood.
"This old abbot, he wants to kill people after he has the treasure. I don't think he is sorry for his death!" Monkey King was about to rush out to fight the monk outside, but was stopped by Tang Seng.
Tang Seng was already a little speechless at the moment. He was choked by the smoke and coughed, but he still pulled Monkey King's clothes to prevent Monkey King from arguing with the monks outside.
Sun Wukong shook his head helplessly, "Master, your kindness will kill you sooner or later." After speaking, his soul was out of his way, and Ye Chen saw his soul flying into the sky.
"Wukong, just take a look as a teacher. This fire won't kill us. You only need to take me and Ye Chen out. We don't need to conflict with the monks in this temple."
Tang Seng was still enduring the thick smoke and talking endlessly, but Ye Chen saw that Sun Wukong's soul had already flown into the sky, so he quickly pulled Sun Wukong's body back.
"Monkey, don't be arrogant, this little fire is a piece of cake for us, it's okay." He pulled Monkey King's body down beside him and let Monkey King "sit" down.
Tang Seng didn't see the clues, he thought that Sun Wukong was persuaded by Ye Chen like this. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he thought that Sun Wukong would not listen to him, but he didn't care too much at this point.
After a while, Ye Chen saw Monkey King come back with a hood. He recognized that it was the Pihuo hood that Monkey King borrowed from Guangmu Heavenly King.
Seeing Monkey King's hand shook slightly, the cover automatically covered their residence, protecting the residence and the white dragon horse. In a flash, all the thick smoke and fire outside could not enter the room.
Sun Wukong looked at the monks who were setting fire and the old abbot who was directing the fire. His heart suddenly became angry. He took out the golden cudgel and just wanted to kill these monks with the cudgel, but suddenly changed his mind.
"Hey, these monks, poor and can't help but beat them, and if they go down with the stick, they are probably going to die. Then the master will blame me for committing a crime again and taking evil things, nothing more."
Monkey King retracted the golden cudgel in his hand, and then sat on the ridge of the roof. He blew around, and the wind direction between the world and the earth suddenly changed.
I saw the fire that had been set up by the monks suddenly turned and burned toward the monks. The monks saw that the situation was not good, and immediately fled with their legs, but few people escaped the flame.
The fire continued to spread, from the third watch to the fifth watch. At the fifth watch, Monkey King saw that the fire was almost burning, so he returned the fire-preventing cover, and then the soul returned to the body.
"I'm so angry with my old grandson! My grandson can't bear it anymore, I'm going out to ask them to judge!" Monkey King jumped up from the bed, frightening Ye Chen and Tang Seng.
It turned out that after the Sun Wukong Yuanshen returned to his body, he could see that his body was beside Ye Chen. At that time, he knew that Ye Chen had helped him cover his tracks, so he performed such a scene to confuse Tang Seng.
Tang Seng didn't know that Monkey King had caused the tragedy outside. He only thought it was God's help, so the fire did not burn them all.
"Amitabha Buddha, Shanzai, Wukong, this fire didn't cause us any harm, let's just go over this incident." Tang Seng said leisurely.
Ye Chen smiled inwardly, "This Tang monk is not so naive to think that the fire didn't burn in the house because he was lucky or had a god to save him?"
"Hmph, that's it, then I listen to the master's words and don't argue with them, but we really want to return the robes. Such treasures can't be given to the old abbot like this?"
"Naturally not, Wukong, go and ask the abbot to return the robes, and then we will go." Tang Seng finished speaking, stood up and put on his clothes, while Monkey King walked straight out of the room.
Chapter 1455
Sun Wukong did not go out directly. After waiting for Tang Monk to get dressed, he and Ye Chen led Tang Monk out of the room with Ye Chen. When Tang Monk saw the mess outside the room, a trace of panic suddenly appeared on his face.
"Here, what happened?" Tang Seng looked at the temple that had been completely destroyed by the fire, tears in his eyes could not help.
