I want to do things on the Westward Journey

Chapter 99 Philosophers in Ancient Greece?
Chen Ling nodded, Anuo Jiaye stepped forward and pushed open the door of the palace, and the three of them walked in together.

After entering the Hall of Thoughts, Chen Xiao was shocked all of a sudden.

One side of this palace is the palace gate, but the other three sides are bookshelves, hundreds of which are filled with various scriptures.

However, on the wall facing the temple door, there is a place where there is no bookshelf, but the wall is exposed.

The exposed wall is golden, and a futon is placed in front of the wall, and a person is sitting on the futon.

The man was sitting there cross-legged, and from behind he could see his hands clasped together, as if he was chanting sutras.

Chen Ling frowned, thinking, this must be Jin Chanzi, right?

Anuo Jiaye came to the back of that person and sneered a few times, and Venerable Anuo shouted: "Jin Chanzi, look who is here?"

"Amitabha!"

Jin Chanzi recited the Buddha's name, and then stood up from the futon.Looking back, he couldn't help but frown.

Chen Xiao could see clearly that this person was Jin Chanzi, and he had seen him in the Daxiong Palace that day.

Of course Jin Chanzi didn't know Chen Xiao, so he clasped his hands together and asked, "My lords, who is this little benefactor?"

"Haha!" Anuo laughed when he heard this and said: "Jinchanzi, this is Mr. Chen, who was sent by the Buddha to persuade you. A few days ago, you collided with the Buddha in the Main Hall. You were supposed to kill him. If you are punished, at the very least, you will have to be kicked out of Lingshan. But Buddha remembers that you are his disciple, so he wants to give you a chance. As long as you are willing to admit your mistake in front of Buddha, Buddha can spare you!"

There was a firm expression on Jin Chanzi's face, and he said: "You two lords, what I said is the truth, what's wrong? You and I are both monks, and money is something outside of us. If we put money If you take it too seriously, what is the difference between you and the worldly people?"

"Brother, let's not talk nonsense with him!" Kasyapa sneered and said, "Jin Chanzi, you usually rely on yourself as a disciple of the Buddha and ignore us. Now, you have committed a serious crime. If If you don't know how to correct your mistakes, it will be too late to regret in the future!"

"Amitabha!" Jin Chanzi clasped his hands together and said, "My lords, I, Jin Chanzi, don't think I did anything wrong. As a monk, is it wrong to not love money?"

"Okay, okay," Kassapa waved his hands angrily, and said, "Jin Chanzi, you can stay obsessed like this. Mr. Chen Xiao, I will leave this place to you. Our two brothers are waiting for your news outside. However, you have to be quick, the Buddha is very busy!"

After finishing speaking, the two of them exited the hall, and then closed the hall door with a bang.

Only Chen Xiao and Jin Chanzi were left in the hall. Jin Chanzi looked at Chen Xiao and said, "Chen Xiao benefactor, you also came to persuade me? If that's the case, please go back." !"

"Haha!" Chen Xiao laughed as soon as she heard it, and said, "Elder, I'm not here to persuade you, but I admire you very much, so I'm here to rescue you!"

Jin Chanzi looked at Chen Xiao and said, "Chen Xiao benefactor, no wonder the Buddha sent you here. It turns out that you really have a sharp tongue. You originally wanted to persuade me, but you said you were here to save me." I am really eloquent!"

Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Hey, I said Elder Jin Chanzi, can you not say that? I have already said that, I only admire you. But, you said that you are thinking about it now, how can you not say that?" Isn't it a waste of time?"

"Waste of time?" Jin Chanzi was taken aback, and said, "Chen Xiao benefactor, what do you say?"

Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Elder, you also know that the last time in the hall, the Buddha's face of loving money was really unacceptable. But, do you know? Tell the people who go down the mountain to chant sutras that they will need three thousand dou and three liters of gold when they go to chant sutras!"

"What?" Jin Chanzi was shocked when he heard it, and said, "Benefactor Chen Xiao, is this true?"

"Of course it's true, it's absolutely true!" Chen Xiao said: "So, Elder Jin Chanzi, you can't stay here, you have to go out and compete with those two venerables, and you must bring them down. If They gain power in Lingshan, if you want to make the Buddha not greedy for money, isn't that a joke?"

Chen Xiao's words made Jin Chanzi a little moved. He said, "Chen Xiao benefactor, I understand what you mean. Anuo Jiaye is so greedy for money, and sooner or later he will destroy Lingshan, so I have to stand up. But, once If I want to leave here, I have to admit my mistake to the Buddha, so I have lost my principles?"

"Hehe, Elder Jin Chanzi, listen to me!" Chen Xiao said: "The meaning of the Buddha is very clear, that is, he wants you to admit that gold is very important to Lingshan. If that's the case, why don't you just earn him some gold? "

Jin Chanzi was stunned for a moment, and said, "Chen Xiao benefactor, I usually treat money as nothing. If I do what you said, wouldn't I be like Anuo Kaye?"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, and said: "Elder Jin Chanzi, you are wrong to think so. I know that you want Lingshan to return to the origin of a monk, and you don't want Lingshan to be full of money. But if you think this way, others will not I think people will say that the reason why Jin Chanzi doesn't love money is because he doesn't have the ability to get money, what do you think?"

"This..." Jin Chanzi frowned when he heard this, and said, "Chen Xiao benefactor, what you said makes sense, but I really don't want to accept money from other people!"

Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Elder, since you understood what I said just now, I won't repeat it again. So I said, if you want to treat money like nothing, you can! But, you must be able to earn money , That’s the way to go! If you can earn a lot of money for the Buddha, then hand over the money to Lingshan, and then express your views on gold and silver, that will be the most convincing, isn’t it? At that time, people will definitely say It's not that Jin Chanzi can't make money, but he really regards money as dung and doesn't bother to make money! That's why people think highly of you. Elder, you have to remember that you can look down on money, and you can also persuade others to look down on money , but you must have the ability to earn money, what do you think?"

Jin Chanzi nodded, and said, "Chen Xiao benefactor, what you said is really good advice. But, is there such a person in the world? Can make money like crazy but still look down on money? Can others believe it?"

"Hehe, Elder, of course there are people like this," Chen Xiao said with a smile, "You don't know, there was a philosopher in ancient Greece named Thales, he... Elder, you can do this kind of business to make money and pay money." People who look down on money!"

Because Chen Xiao lost his mind for a while, he said Thales' name unknowingly, so he quickly changed his words after realizing it.

However, Jin Chanzi refused to let it go, and asked: "Chen Xiao benefactor, why didn't you say anything? What happened to the Thales you mentioned?"
