Chapter 288 Don’t judge a person by appearance

The corners of Su Jing's mouth twitched, and a strange look appeared on his face.

how to say……

Just looking at the appearance, this old monk has long and drooping eyebrows, he is kind and kind, and there is a faint golden light around his body. He looks so divine, no matter how picky people are, they will probably be filled with joy when they see it. It’s not advisable to address someone with admiration as “Senior Monk, Great Virtue!”

But in fact...

Although I didn't see anyone just now.

But Su Jing knew clearly that the man who just called himself Buddha, Lao Tzu, and me should be this old monk who looked extremely kind-hearted and amiable. He had just fought with him a few times in the air, and even forced him to do so. There is almost no use for him to transfer flowers and jade.

really.

Lingyue looked at the kind-faced monk, with a confused look on his face, and whispered softly: "Uncle, is the Buddha who just attacked us the same old man who looks very kind? Sure enough, people can't be judged by their appearance. ”

The old monk's eyelids twitched, with an embarrassed look on his face.

He coughed dryly and said: "Amitabha, the two donors don't know something. The old monk and the bad disciple Jiang Liu'er came all the way from Daqian to beg for alms. They originally wanted to do a big thing, but they didn't know that they had just entered the city. All the treasures on his body were stolen. Just now... the old monk mistakenly thought that the two donors were the thieves who stole the old monk's treasure, so he overreacted. I hope the two donors can forgive me! "

As he spoke, he lowered his eyelids, but couldn't hide the shock in his heart.

I thought that to be able to fight with me, these two people must be old and powerful masters, but who knows, of these two people, one is a little girl about ten years old, and the other, depending on their age, He doesn't look much older than his disciples!

A playful smile appeared on Su Jing's face. This old guy was pretending to be cool. Just now he said he was happy to see Hunter... Now he was telling lies again with his eyes open.

He asked: "I just don't know what kind of treasures the master has thrown away?"

"This... some taels of silver, a brocade cassock, a thousand-year-old blood coral, a pair of undersea luminous pearls, and some gold, silver and jade articles..."

He started talking non-stop, and what he was talking about was clearly...

Lingyue whispered: "Uncle, everything in this house seems to have been thrown away by this master."

Su Jing didn't lower his voice and said, "Fortunately, our things have been put away in advance, otherwise he might have lost them."

The voice of the eminent monk who claimed to be Master Tripitaka suddenly stopped, and his face showed a bit of embarrassment. In the end, he said awkwardly: "Well...if the donor is also interested, the things that the old monk threw away can actually be slightly less. "

Jiang Liu had a puzzled look on his face and said, "Master, where do we monks have any gold, silver, and jade articles? Isn't it true that all we have lost is a brocade cassock?"

"That's long-winded... Jiang Liu, what do you know?"

Sanzang said angrily: "These things are all unclean... They were all stolen by the thief. In other words, they are all stolen goods. As the saying goes, you can share half when you meet... We monks will spend these stolen goods. , it is equivalent to contributing to the Buddha, and the Buddha will naturally dissolve the filthy air on these stolen goods, so when we ask for these things, we are actually doing good deeds, understand?”

Jiang Liu asked in confusion: "Why...does this thing still have a filthy air?"

Master Tripitaka looked kind and said: "Silly boy, if you don't have a dirty mind, how can you call something stolen? Is it true that everyone in the world is lying?"

"But...but the disciple always feels that something is wrong..."

"Nothing wrong."

Su Jing smiled and said sternly: "Little Master Jiang Liu, although what the master said is biased, there is still a very reasonable saying. You will get half of it when you meet... Speaking of which, these stolen goods are better left here to be taken away. Instead of selling them, we might as well divide them up, are you right, sir?”

"uncle!!!"

Lingyue tugged at Su Jing's sleeves and thought to herself that we were the ones who killed the people and we were the ones who arrived first, so why should they get a share of the pie?

Su Jing patted her shoulder lightly, the action was slightly heavier and hinted.

Lingyue suddenly understood, knowing that her uncle might have other ideas in mind.

"Hahahaha, although the little brother is young, he is much smarter than the elm-headed disciple of the old monk. That's right, that's right. Jiang Liu, don't even think about it. The two of us have been kicked out of Xiangji Temple now. , in the whole of Chang'an, I'm afraid there won't be any temple willing to accept orders from our masters and apprentices... If we don't have any more money, the two of us will really have to sleep on the streets. Disciples like you and me who are extremely devout to the Buddha, if we fall into despair Incomparably, even the Buddha would feel distressed when he saw it, so I had to accept this money not for us as master and disciple, but for the sake of the Buddha. "

Sanzang pretended to be sad and wiped the corners of his eyes, and said: "Or Jiang Liu'er, you can't bear to let Master and I, an old skeleton, sleep on the street at night, letting the cold wind and cold rain beat on me..."

Su Jingxin said that when you were holding on to the iron door just now, you didn't look like an old man.

Jiang Liu was caught in an instant, and a glistening look appeared in his eyes. He choked and said: "I'm sorry, Master, it was my disciple who misunderstood you and mistakenly thought that you were greedy for money... It's all your own fault. As long as Almsgiver Su has no objection, little monk There will be no objection!”

"Hahahaha, that's right. Come on, Mr. Su, right? Let's divide these things up... I am not talented, but I have a good eye. I can estimate the value of these things to be about 80% to 90%. I will never let you suffer a loss."

Sanzang rushed to the gold and silver jewelry in an instant, flipping through them one by one. The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became. He exclaimed: "This time, whether eating meat or drinking, there is no need to worry about being driven out. Hahaha, the Buddha wants to eat a roast chicken and throw a roast duck... I have never enjoyed such a luxurious way of eating!"

He happily put a thick gold chain on his neck. The whole person instantly lost his kind temperament, and the rest was just the aura of a nouveau riche... He was so excited that he didn't even bother to look for the brocade cassock he had mentioned before.

Su Jing walked to Jiang Liu and sighed, "Your master... is really... unique."

"Well... Master is very good to me."

Jiang Liu blushed and nodded for a long time before he could say this.

Su Jing smiled immediately, looking at Jiang Liu who was not good at lying. In his eyes, this guy was simply innocent and cute.

He smiled and said, "By the way... Aren't you in Daqian, thousands of miles away? How can you have time to come to Datang? And you were... kicked out of the temple where you stayed? What's going on?"

"It's... that's it."

Jiang Liu's face was flushed and he lowered his head. Although he didn't say anything, his whole body was full of the aura of "Don't ask again".

"I think... I may understand why."

Looking at Jiang Liu, who had gained weight after not seeing him for a few months...

Su Jing recalled that Sanzang had called for roast chicken and roast duck before... He murmured, feeling as if he had seen through this pair of master and apprentice who did not abide by the rules!
