Su Shiming noticed Xiao Chen's abnormality and asked in a low voice.
"Giant."
Xiao Chen looked at the skinny old monk and slowly said two words.
"oh?"
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Su Shiming's eyes flashed, but he quickly returned to normal.
"Monk King must be very strong... It's normal for a giant."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded and looked behind the skinny old monk, only to see three more old monks following him.
When he saw one of them, he smiled and said, "Hehe, acquaintance, Master Azan is here again."
"Welcome the Monk King..."
The King of Siam stood up and smiled.
"I met the King of Siam..."
The monk king stopped, clasped his hands together, and smiled.
Xiao Chen and others also stood up one after another. No matter what, this is considered basic etiquette.
Although I have one, I don't have a good impression on Buddhism.
"It's really strong."
Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai looked at the Monk King, then turned to look at Xiao Chen. He was no match.
"Master, if you take another step, it will be easy to hit him."
Xiao Chen whispered.
"hehe."
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Ghost Buddha Zhao Tulai chuckled and looked at the Monk King again.
At this time, the King of Siam had already exchanged a few words with the Monk King and began to introduce Xiao Chen and others.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Xiao... hello."
The monk king's skinny face was full of smiles.
"Monk King, I have long admired my name..."
Xiao Chen also smiled. He wanted to see how legendary this old monk was.
I hope it's not a wasted reputation.
"Everyone, please take a seat. Let's sit down and chat."
The King of Siam greeted him and then looked at the eldest prince.
"Puli, go tell the restaurant to start preparations."
"yes."
The eldest prince nodded, turned and left.
"Mr. Xiao, we meet again."
Master Azan said hello to Xiao Chen.
"Haha, it seems that Master Azan and I are really destined."
Xiao Chen also smiled.
"..."
Hearing this, Master Azan felt a little embarrassed. After all, the last time they met, the process was not a pleasant one.
"Mr. Xiao, thank you for your help."
The monk king seemed to notice Master Azan's embarrassment and smiled.
"It's not much help, it's just a little effort."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Moreover, this is also for the sake of the royal family, so the monk king does not need to thank me."
"..."
Following Xiao Chen's words, the atmosphere at the scene changed slightly. These words did not bring face to Buddhism.
"Haha, the relationship between Buddhism and the royal family is unusual. Mr. Xiao also helped Buddhism for the sake of the royal family."
The smile of the monk king did not diminish at all.
"So, I still have to thank Mr. Xiao for his help."
"..."
Xiao Chen took a deep look at the Monk King. This old monk was really not simple.
He has said so, but as a giant, he can have such an attitude.
Su Shiming also adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. Neither the King of Siam nor the King of Monks had a fuel-efficient lamp.
However, he was not worried. Since he had known Xiao Chen, he had never seen this kid suffer.
If you really piss this kid off, he can smash any lamp, no matter what!
"Hahaha, yes, I already thanked Mr. Xiao just now."
The King of Siam also laughed.
"The royal family and Buddhism are from the same family. Mr. Xiao looks at whoever is in favor and who he helps, it's the same."
As the King of Siam laughed, the atmosphere suddenly became much better.
Xiao Chen also smiled and nodded: "I have a grudge against the Holy See of Light, and I don't want to see them arrogant... I hope that this time, you two can teach them a lesson."
"Haha, definitely."
The King of Siam smiled.
"Mr. Xiao, why don't you join in the fun?"
"I won't. I plan to leave the day after tomorrow."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Back to China, there are still some things to do."
"Oh? Are you so anxious? You still want to keep Mr. Xiao in Siam for a few more days, so that we can enjoy the friendship of landlords."
said the King of Siam.
"Haha, let's wait until we have the chance next time."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Now that we are friends, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"Haha, okay."
The King of Siam smiled and nodded.
"I heard that senior brother has been to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha?"
After chatting for a while, the monk king looked at the ghost Buddha Zhao Tathagata and asked.
Next to me, someone immediately translated a sentence.
"Amitabha, I dare not take it seriously."
The ghost Buddha Zhao Tathagata whispers the Buddha's name. The monk king is the leader of the Buddhist sect in Siam and has an extraordinary status.
Therefore, the title of 'senior brother' is still not deserved, and it also gives him enough face.
Xiao Chen also looked over, and the monk king asked what he was doing.
Could it be that the old monk suspected something?
"One of the purposes of this old monk coming to Siam is to visit this place of Lord Buddha and communicate more with fellow disciples... That day, I went to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and worshiped the Emerald Buddha."
Ghost Buddha Zhao Tathagata said slowly.
"Haha, we are rude when a Chinese monk comes to Siam..."
The monk king chuckled.
"I wonder how senior brother feels about the Jade Buddha?"
After listening to the words of the Monk King, Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, was he really doubtful?
Isn't it the Hongmen Banquet tonight?
Probably not.
However, if the matter of the Jade Buddha is exposed, how will the Buddhist sect and the royal family react?
Take action?
If you can't say that, you have to kill him.
At this moment, Xiao Chen even had the Xuanyuan Sword ready and could slash it out at any time.
Killing the Monk King may be difficult, but killing the Siamese King... can still be done.
"When the old monk saw the jade Buddha, he was quite destined..."
Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai looked at the monk king and said slowly.
"I also proposed that day that I wanted to stay at the Temple of the Emerald Buddha... However, I was rejected."
"So... I'm sorry."
The monk king said, clasping his hands together and bowing slightly.
The three old monks next to him also made the same gesture.
Because there was a translator, Zhao Laomo, Lei Gong and others could understand what they were talking about.
Zhao Laomo looked at Xiao Chen, they all knew what was going on with the Jade Buddha.
Whatever Xiao Chen could think of, they could think of it too.
When Xiao Chen saw Mr. Zhao looking at him, he shook his head slightly to indicate not to be impulsive.
"It's not rude to say that, Buddhism in the world is one family, but there are differences..."
Ghost Buddha Zhao Tathagata shook his head and clasped his hands in response.
"Monk King doesn't have to worry about these things."
"good."
The monk king nodded.
"The Emerald Buddha, as the most precious treasure of Siamese Buddhism, has been lost... I have made a great wish to find the Emerald Buddha in my lifetime."
Xiao Chen looked at the monk king, is this old monk serious?
No doubt?
If there is no doubt, you may have enough trouble in your lifetime.
However, it is not necessarily true. If the Jade Buddha is useless, he may not keep it in his hands.
When the time comes, it is not impossible for him to return to Siam Buddhism once he is in a good mood.
So it is still somewhat possible in this lifetime.
"It is admirable that the monk king can make such a great wish... The old monk believes that one day, the Jade Buddha will return to Buddhism."
Ghost Buddha Zhao Tathagata said slowly.
"Um."
The monk king nodded.
"King Monk, if we can win against the Holy See of Light this time, the Jade Buddha will hopefully..."
The King of Siam said to the Monk King.
"Now that we have the Dark Holy See, we have greater control... I believe that the Lord Buddha will also bless us."
"Yes."
The monk king clasped his hands together and looked pious.
"..."
Xiao Chen looked at the Monk King and then at the Siam King, feeling a little confused.
After all, is it doubtful or not?
If you are in doubt, take action early.
No doubt, I can have a big meal with peace of mind.
He thought for a while and looked at Su Shiming.
With his father-in-law here, he wouldn't have to worry about it.
When Su Shiming saw Xiao Chen looking over, he chuckled and shook his head.
Xiao Chen felt confident. If his father-in-law said it was okay, then it should be okay.
Afterwards, everyone was chatting, and the monk king started chatting with the ghost Buddha Zhao Tulai again.
The two of them stopped talking about the Jade Buddha, but about Buddhism.
Su Shiming was very interested, and the King of Siam also listened carefully.
In the end, Xiao Chen and others were a little bored.
Fortunately, at this time, someone came to report that the restaurant was ready.
"Let's go to the restaurant and chat while eating."
The King of Siam stood up and said.
"good."
Everyone nodded, got up one after another, and walked out.
"Third brother, are you sure everything is okay? It won't be the Hongmen Banquet, right? Wait a minute, I'll sit next to you."
Zhao Laomo lowered his voice and said.
"Huh? Why are you sitting next to me?"
Xiao Chen was startled.
"It's safe."
Zhao Laomo said seriously.
"..."
Xiao Chen was speechless, yes, Lao Zhao was going to carry out his fear of death to the end.
"I think this old monk should be very powerful..."
Zhao Laomo said again.
"How can a giant not be powerful?"
Xiao Chen glanced at the Monk King.
"And it's not the sixth heaven, it's probably the seventh heaven."
"Seventh Heaven... Damn it, can I stop eating? I want to take an imperial bath."
Zhao Laomo was a little panicked.
"It's too late... Aren't you afraid that if you go back alone, you will be beaten by them when you are alone?"
Xiao Chen frightened Mr. Zhao.
"Well, forget it then. I'll be safer with you."
Zhao Laomo said immediately.
"If anything happens, you have to protect me."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded, Lao Zhao was really cruel when he was ruthless, and when he was afraid of death... he was also really afraid of death.
Arriving at the restaurant, everyone sat down.
Zhao Laomo originally wanted to lean against Xiao Chen, but there was no room for him.
He thought for a while and went to the place between David and Lei Gong. He thought this location was good and safe enough.
"Today, I invite all distinguished guests to try Siamese delicacies... some of which are rare to see outside."
The King of Siam said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it."
Xiao Chen nodded.
Soon, the dishes came out one after another, including those flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water...
"Come, let's raise a toast together. Firstly, the distinguished guests are here, and secondly, we celebrate our victory in advance."
The King of Siam picked up the cup and said loudly.
"Haha, it's time to celebrate."
Xiao Chen smiled and clinked glasses with the King of Siam.
After drinking, everyone began to enjoy dinner.
"What is this? A pig's nose?"
Zhao Laomo looked at the dish in front of him and asked curiously.
"No, that's an elephant's trunk..."
Master Hongchai smiled and introduced.
"trunk?"
Zhao Laomo's eyes were slightly bright. Not to mention, he had eaten pig trunks before, but this was his first time eating elephant trunks.
Not to mention Zhao Lao Mo, even Xiao Chen and Su Shiming also had many dishes they had not eaten.
In the words of the King of Siam, it cannot be eaten outside... and only the royal family can eat it.
This made Xiao Chen have to sigh, being a king is actually quite good.
