Chapter 859: Having eyes but not seeing gold inlaid with jade

When Xuanzang came out of the emperor's palace, he was smiling.

Master Zhishen, the abbot of Shaolin Temple who was waiting outside the palace, put his palms together and said: "Brother, is there any result?"

Xuanzang smiled and said: "Get rid of the external things and keep the useful body."

Master Zhishen sighed and said: "It is becoming increasingly difficult to promote Buddhism."

Xuanzang laughed and said: "When all the monks in the world are dead, the Buddha will naturally wake up."

Master Zhishen asked in confusion: "Is the Buddha not awake yet?"

Xuanzang said: "You can go to the Great Buddha Temple in Ganzhou and ask the sleeping Buddha when he will wake up."

Master Zhishen asked again: "Why did the Buddha sleep for five hundred years without any sign of waking up?"

Xuanzang looked at the dense crowd of people waiting to see the emperor outside the emperor's palace and sighed: "How can one have a normal heart under the terror? How can one be brave and diligent just to survive?

It’s better to go to sleep.”

Master Zhishen said in confusion: "Does the Buddha also need to look at the eyes of the world?"

Xuanzang said: "Buddha's world is too beautiful to be allowed in the world."

Master Zhishen sighed and said: "Two hundred and eighty thousand strings - Songshan Buddhism has spent all it has."

Xuanzang smiled and said: "Not much, not much. I bought Buddhism an opportunity to continue to spread Buddhism. The emperor got it cheap."

After that, without telling Master Zhishen anything more, he got on Li Si's carriage and went to where some children were staying.

As for what Master Zhishen thinks, he doesn't care. After thinking about it, even if he still has some wisdom, if he can't figure it out, it is his fate. Monks should face the cause and effect bravely and cannot escape.

In the carriage, Li Si knelt beside Master Xuanzang and served him jelly. Yun Jin worked hard from behind to help the master's shoulders. As for Wen Huan and Di Guangsi, they held one of the master's legs and patted them rhythmically.

.

Otherwise, the full 20,000 guan can be spent in vain for three years.

Li Si now hopes that he can serve Master Xuanzang well and see if he can keep the money from the bald donkeys of Shaolin Temple without paying back.

Yun Chu's jelly is not available on the market. Even if Li Si, Yun Jin, Wen Huan, Di Guangsi and others want to eat it, they are strictly restricted by Yu Xiurong. However, this thing is slippery, and there are also some jelly in it.

A bowl of chopped fruits, eaten cold, can eliminate the fire in the throat. Master Xuanzang taught scriptures to the emperor and his wife for a day today, and his mouth has been dry for a long time, so it tastes just right.

After a bowl of peach-flavored fruit jelly, Master Xuanzang lay comfortably on his side on the carriage, falling into a drowsy state as the carriage bumped up and down. Just when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly opened his eyes and said to Li Si: "

Do you want the extra fifty thousand guan?"

Li Si immediately shook his head like a rattle and said resolutely: "No."

Master Xuanzang smiled and said, "Didn't you really want money before?"

Li Sidao: "That 20,000 yuan is enough for us."

"Really don't want it? Don't worry, I don't want you to make money."

Li Si shook his head firmly again and said, "Then it's even more unacceptable."

"Why?"

"Because there will be big trouble."

Master Xuanzang sighed and said: "Little children can understand the truth, but those big monks don't understand it. Although it is difficult to give up good money, monks still have to be spiritual."

Seeing Master Xuanzang muttering quietly as he fell asleep, a few young ones slipped out of the carriage and entered Yun Jin's carriage.

Wen Huan said: "I think we can take it. We are young and it is easy to default on debts. Seventy thousand yuan is a lot of money."

Yun Jin said: "If we really need 70,000 yuan, just ask my mother for it. There is no need to turn the four of us into deadbeats just for this little money."

Di Guangsi carefully scraped off the few jelly residues in the bowl, and said without raising his head: "Seventy thousand guan, this scoundrel can take it."

Li Sidao: "I'm not worried about getting a reputation as a scoundrel. I'm worried that after taking the 50,000 yuan, we won't have the final say on what happens next. The most terrible thing is that the money is in other people's hands. If they pay,

If the way of life changes, we can only follow the reins that this money has turned into and become a donkey being dragged along by others.

Since Master Xuanzang took the initiative to send the money, it means that the 50,000 yuan is a hot potato for him and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Master Xuanzang himself has no money, so the money can only come from the Shaolin Temple. Since it is the money of the Shaolin Temple, the person who can really decide where the money goes is the great monk Zhishen.

Master Xuanzang just said that the great monk Zhishen is a stupid donkey, so the question is, do you think it is easier to get the money of a stupid donkey or the money of Master Xuanzang?"

Wen Huan ripped off the jelly bowl that Di Guangsi was licking vigorously, and said happily: "I like stupid donkeys."

Yun Jin worriedly said to Li Sid: "Master Zhishen is very good to you. Isn't it wrong for you to cheat him like this? I still feel that if I need money, it would be better to go to my grandma."

Li Si shook his head and said: "So, we must find a way to help Master Zhishen escape the disaster, and then we can take away his money.

You guys heard it just now, it's 280,000 yuan. You said he's not a good monk, so what's he doing with so much money?

Now, we must first find out why Master Xuanzang said that he would give us fifty thousand guan. Only by clarifying the matter can we have a clear target on the great monk Zhishen."

Di Guangsi saw Li Si's eyes falling on his face. He was still angry because Wen Huan knocked down his bowl. Then he angrily said to Wen Huan: "Give me the bowl of jelly you had at night."

Eat, I will go find Ayan and ask him to help us find out the news."

Seeing the stubborn look on Wen Huan's face, Li Si seemed unwilling to give his jelly to Di Guangsi, so he said generously: "If you can let A Yan find out the reason from the Chongxuan Department of Honglu Temple, I will

I’ll give you my share of jelly.”

Di Guangsi said somewhat unbearably: "Don't you like to eat fruit jelly the most?"

Yun Jin said to Li Si: "Give you half of my share tonight."

Li Si gave Yun Jin a sweet smile, and then said to Di Guangsi: "Go quickly, because soon Ayan will be taken away to study by Aye."

Di Guangsi quickly got out of the carriage, got into his own carriage, and ran straight to the Honglu Temple station.

Wen Huan shook his head and said: "There are only six people in the Chongxuan Department, and three of them are A-yan's uncles. Although they are nominally in charge of all the monks in the world, A-yan's Aye may not know the reason for such a big thing today.

.”

Yun Jin said: "Aye said that the secrets of the imperial court are hidden in the documents. As long as we are willing to look for it, we can find the answer we want. However, we need to use our brains. Ayan and his family control Chongqing."

Even though they are useless in Xuanzhu except for issuing edicts, they are the most familiar and sensitive people to various religions. It would not be wrong to ask Ayan about this matter.

.”

While the children were discussing the matter in full swing, Master Xuanzang slowly opened his eyes, raised his arms and stretched, smiled towards the top of the carriage and said, "Amitabha, the old monk didn't do anything."

Li Hong was sitting in the main hall prepared for him by the Bianzhou government, eating jelly leisurely. He had been a little overactive for the past two days, so he liked to eat something cold, just to relieve the anger.

Xu Jingzong, who was sitting opposite him, was also eating this thing. Judging from how enthusiastic he was eating spoonful after spoonful, he must also like it very much.

After finishing a bowl, Li Hongyi put down the empty bowl without finishing and asked Xu Jingzong: "Master, what do you think of this?"

Xu Jingzong took a bite and said vaguely: "If it is done well, it can become the starting point of a small family."

Li Hong nodded and said: "I think so too, but this thing is just a must-have dessert in my master's kitchen. Master said it is used to coax children's mouths."

Xu Jingzong put down his spoon after hearing this and said, "Are there many such things in Yunchu's house?"

Li Hong nodded and said: "I only remembered it after eating this jelly today. I have seen many strange things since I was a child, but my wife always treated me as ordinary things for me to enjoy or play with, so she treated me as ordinary things."

Treatment, now that I think about it, Gu Tai takes it for granted."

Xu Jingzong frowned and said, "Like the wooden cows and stray horses that the Yun family's disciples teased as toys?"

Li Hongdao: "I have seen a big copper kettle at home. There is a stove under the copper kettle. When the water in the copper kettle boils, steam will spurt out from a spout and blow the impeller continuously.

As the impeller rotates, the master bites a thread reel together through several teeth. The thread reel rotates very fast, and soon a ball of cotton thread is wound into a thread reel.

At that time, I laughed at how heavy and bulky this thing was, because if I wanted to wind the wire, this thing couldn’t be as fast as a spinning spindle.”

Xu Jingzong picked up the jelly bowl again and said while eating: "You must have missed a good knowledge, or in other words, your master Yunchu thinks you are not good at this kind of knowledge."

Li Hong frowned and said, "Why didn't Master explain it clearly at that time?"

Xu Jingzong smiled and said: "This is Tao Yuan. If he is destined to you, he will naturally teach you this knowledge. Since you are not interested in this matter and do not even see anything new from it, it means that you have no connection with this knowledge.

Of course he won't teach you."

Li Hong gritted his white teeth and took a breath and said, "It seems that I missed a lot of good knowledge at that time."

Xu Jingzong pointed to the jelly in the bowl and said, "How is this made?"

Li Hong thought for a moment and said: "Back then, I was greedy and watched San Fei, the cook in the mansion, make jelly. The ingredients were very simple, fruits, white jelly and sugar icing."

Xu Jingzong glanced at Li Hong and said, "What is white jelly?"

Li Hong patted his head in surprise and said, "I actually forgot to ask."

Xu Jingzong sighed and said: "A good business worth three to five thousand guan, a good knowledge that can make a small family prosperous, was originally easily available, but you wasted it in vain."

Although Li Hong was the crown prince, it was really hard for him to forgive himself when he thought about how he had faced so many priceless things during his more than ten years in and out of the Yun family, but missed them just because he was blind.

.

Xu Jingzong said calmly: "If you ask your wife now, she will still tell you."

Li Hong wailed and said: "Run to be scolded by the master's wife, and laughed at by the little sisters? I am a prince, not a scoundrel, do I still have to be shameless?"

If it doesn't work, Mrs. Pei must give birth to Qilin's son as soon as possible. When the time comes, he will give it to Master and Mistress to raise. The orphan doesn't believe it. I missed it. Could it be that my son will be so unlucky?"
