I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

"So, did the elder agree?"

"This one……"

"Thank you, Elder Tang, I will bring it back to the meditation room to observe it, and I will return it with both hands tomorrow morning."

Before Tang Seng could answer, the abbot unexpectedly came to thank Tang Seng by beheading first and then playing.

In this way, Tang Seng really couldn't refuse, so he could only say: "Then please put it away carefully, the abbot, and don't make it dirty."

"No, no, thank you Elder Tang..."

After getting the cassock, the abbot didn't even have the heart to eat the fast meal, and he returned to the meditation room with the cassock in his hands after apologizing.

"Why, why is this old monk not so precious, why..."

The abbot put the cassock on his body, and he was so sad that he burst into tears.

"Master..."

Not long after, a disciple came in and saluted the abbot.

The abbot paid no attention to it lazily, still rubbing his cassock reluctantly.

"Master, this cassock is indeed a treasure, and I don't know where the monk of Tang Dynasty got the blessing to have this treasure."

Having said that, the abbot burst into tears again: "It's a pity that I don't have this blessing. If possible, I would exchange all my cassocks for this cassock..."

"This... I'm afraid the other party won't agree. Judging by Elder Tang's appearance, he seems to cherish this cassock very much."

"Then what should we do? Is it possible that the old monk and this cassock have only one night's fate?"

"Master, how about... how about we keep them here for a few more days? Then the master can wear them for a few more days."

The abbot sighed: "But, they still have to leave after all..."

Hearing this, the disciple's heart moved, and he couldn't help whispering: "What does the abbot mean, let them... stay here forever?"

"My old man didn't say that, you said it..."

"Yes, yes, it's what the disciple said... How about this, when they are sleeping soundly at night, set up firewood outside, and then light a fire...

Afterwards, the big deal is to transcend them for them. In this way, the cassock will always belong to the head of the hospital. "

"What did you say? The old man didn't hear... that's all right, you can do whatever you want. You don't need to inform the old man. The old man is going to rest."

The abbot pretended to say something.

"Disciple understands!"

The visitor smiled knowingly and left...

Chapter No.16 The Weird Event in Gao Laozhuang

That night, more than a dozen dark shadows came to the backyard sneakily carrying firewood, and quietly piled firewood around the wing room.

These guys were determined to kill the people in the house, so they brought a lot of firewood and soaked oil into the firewood.

Once it ignites like this, it will be out of control.

But this group of guys never imagined that their actions had been clearly seen by others, and they thought they were doing it without anyone noticing.

When the firewood piled up, the group scattered around and lit the fire at the same time.

Light it up and leave quickly.

Because they believed that the people in the house had long been asleep, and when they woke up from choking, the fire was out of control and they could only burn to death in the house.

The weather was already dry, and with the addition of oil poured into the firewood, a raging fire ignited as soon as the fire was lit.

But at this time, Tang Seng was fast asleep.

According to the original plot, it was Monkey King who made a trip and went to the sky to borrow a fire shield.

But this time there is no need, because Gu Ming can control the fire, and the effect is better than the fire shield.

Seeing the flames soaring into the sky, Monkey King couldn't help but angrily said: "Fortunately, this is still the Guanyin Temple. I didn't expect these monks to be so cruel."

Gu Ming smiled and said: "Essentially speaking, a monk is also a human being, and as a human being, he has greed and evil thoughts. Therefore, it depends on whether a person can control his greed and evil thoughts.

The reason why your master is unwilling to show the cassock to the public is precisely because of this reason.

His wish is beautiful, that the world will be beautiful, that everyone has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, and everyone is kind...

However, good and evil are relative. If there is no evil, how can there be good?

Everything in the world, the yang and yang of the world, has its pros and cons. This is the law of the world, and no one can change it, including the gods.

If it is really forced to reverse, then...the world will no longer exist..."

"No, my old grandson can't take advantage of these guys. If they want to burn us to death, then let them suffer the consequences."

Monkey King is not a good stubble, and he still has a strong sense of revenge.

Now open your mouth and blow...

"call……"

A strange wind blew in the courtyard.

In an instant, the wind helped the fire, and the flames began to scurry...

"It's not good, it's not good, the east wing is on fire..."

"The west wing also caught fire..."

The monks in the temple originally intended to burn only the row of old houses in the backyard where Gu Ming and his party lived, but they didn't know that there was a strange wind that attracted the nearby wing rooms.

Most of the buildings in the courtyard are connected to each other, and now it's done, one by one is burned, and the monks are so anxious to fetch water to put out the fire.

It's a pity that the fire is so big that they can't put it out at all.

The flames lit up half the sky.

Not far from the temple, there is a mountain named Heifeng Mountain.

There is a monster in the mountain, it is the black bear spirit.

To say that this black bear spirit can be regarded as a person who wholeheartedly wants to cultivate a righteous fruit, he often has contacts with the abbot of the temple on weekdays, and he talks about Zen.

The reason why the abbot can live to more than 200 years old is not unrelated to the black bear spirit.

Because this black bear has two friends, one of them is Ling Xuzi who is good at alchemy, and he also gives some pills to the black bear on weekdays.

The black bear spirit borrowed flowers to present to the Buddha, and also gave some to the abbot, so the abbot can live a long life.

"My lord, my lord, there seems to be a fire in the temple..."

A little demon hurried into the cave to report.

"Oh? I'll go take a look."

After all, the black bear spirit has friendship with the abbot, so he walked out of the cave to have a look, and the place where the fire was indeed in the direction of the temple.

"Forget it, I have some friendship with the headmaster, so I went to help him."

Therefore, the black bear spirit flew to the temple to help put out the fire.

As a result, when flying to the sky above the monastery, I found a faint glow in the abbot's meditation room, so I went to the window to have a look out of curiosity...

At this time, the abbot had already fallen asleep in cassock.

Although the temple was on fire, none of the people dared to report it for fear of being scolded.

The black bear spirit looked at the cassock and couldn't help being surprised...

This guy is a man of knowledge, and he saw at a glance that this cassock was a treasure, and he became greedy immediately.

Ever since, he immediately used a magic trick to take the cassock into his hands, and then quietly returned to the cave.

Early the next morning, Ling Xuzi came to the cave with another goblin to celebrate the black bear's birthday.

Hei Xiongjing was so proud that he took out his cassock to show off, saying that this birthday was going to be a little bit special and that he would invite some friends to hold a Buddhist costume party.

On the other side, a nest has been blown up in the monastery...

The abbot woke up and found that the cassock was gone... When he walked out of the meditation room, he saw that the temple was covered in scorched earth, the smoke was still there, and most of the buildings in the temple were burned, so he vomited blood on the spot.

Tang Seng was also very angry, and scolded Sun Wukong for taking out the cassock to show off. Now that the cassock is lost, how can he explain to the Bodhisattva in the future?

In a rage, Monkey King ran to find the abbot, insisting that the abbot hid the cassock and did not want to return it.

The abbot couldn't speak clearly all over his body, and in a panic, he bumped his head to death.

Now the temple is even more chaotic...

On the other side, Bai Suzhen asked: "My lord, do we care about this matter?"

Gu Ming thought for a while and said: "We'd better not get involved in this matter. Speaking of it, the black bear spirit is not a big evil person, and has some connections with Buddhism, otherwise he would not often discuss Zen with the abbot, let alone Grab a cassock as a treasure.

This cassock was entrusted by Avalokitesvara to Tang Seng, so how could he have swallowed it privately? "

"Too……"

At the same time, Sun Wukong was completely enraged and threatened all the monks: "Hand over the cassocks quickly. If you dare not, don't blame the old sun for being ruthless and sending you all to the west!"

All the monks were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.

In the end, one of them seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said: "Maybe, the cassock was taken away by the king of Heifeng Mountain."

"The Great King of Black Wind Mountain?"

"That's right, that king has frequent contacts with the head of my house..."

After hearing the reason, Monkey King didn't bother to ask any more questions, and immediately took off to Heifeng Mountain...

Afterwards, Gu Ming and Bai Suzhen didn't pay any attention to it, and pretended to stay in the temple to protect Tang Seng, leaving Monkey King to toss about it alone.

As expected, the majestic Monkey King couldn't deal with a mere black bear...

It's not that he can't fight, the main reason is that the black bear spirit is full of tricks and doesn't fight with Monkey King head-on.

In desperation, Monkey King had no choice but to ask Guanyin for help.

"Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, you don't care about this matter. If you don't care, my grandson won't go to learn scriptures..."

As soon as the person arrived, Monkey King began to yell loudly.

Guanyin laughed and said, "You splashing monkey, why did you start playing tricks as soon as you came?"

"The black bear spirit's old lair is near the Bodhisattva's Buddhist monastery, and it even stole my master's cassock..."

Sun Wukong gave a rough account of the reasons, but of course, he concealed the disadvantages to him, and blamed the abbot and the black bear.

With Guanyin coming forward, this matter will be much easier...

In the end, the black bear obediently returned the cassock, and was tamed by Guanyin, becoming a guard at the back mountain of Guanyin Dojo.

After experiencing this difficulty, the group left the monastery and continued on their way.

Along the way, Gu Ming communicated with Monkey King or Tang Seng from time to time...

Unknowingly, Tang Seng's concept is slowly and subtly changing.

Although it cannot be said that he has changed a person, at least he is not as pedantic as before.

Moreover, because of insisting on walking, exercising, and practicing sitting and forgetting scriptures, his physique has also undergone a qualitative transformation, and he is no longer a frail Tang monk who just left Chang'an.

Even if you can't subdue the demon, you can kill a tiger with your bare hands.

As a result, Tang Seng became more interested in cultivation, and sometimes he would meditate for two or three days...

Regarding this, Gu Ming was not in a hurry.

Monkey King is not in a hurry. After all, he has been under the Five Elements Mountain for hundreds of years, so he still cares about such a little time?

Stopping and stopping, almost two months later, I finally came to Gao Laozhuang...

"Ok?"

Before reaching the village, Gu Ming couldn't help but frowned, because he felt that there was a monster in the village.

Of course Sun Wukong also sensed it, stopped immediately, and said to Tang Seng: "Master, there seems to be a monster in front..."

In the past, Tang Seng would be startled when he heard a monster.

But now he is much bolder, and calmly said: "It's okay, aren't you here? Let's go and have a look together."
