When Tang Sanzang heard the names of these four old men, he recalled them.

This Gu Zhigong, Lingkongzi, Fuyunsou, and Eighteen Duke are also a group of monsters in the memory of Tang Sanzang in the west. However, compared with other monsters, these four monsters, "cypress, bamboo and pine", are more like Wenya lay Buddhists first-class.

In the original trajectory, it seemed that they had no malice towards themselves, and they just invited themselves to talk about scriptures and poems like literati and poets.

When the Eighteenth Duke saw that Tang Sanzang had not spoken for a long time, he couldn't help but ask, "Holy Monk, but what's wrong with our name?"

“No, no…”

When Tang Sanzang heard this, he suppressed his thoughts and said, "On the contrary, the names of all the immortals are very elegant, which reminds me of the 'Four Elders of the Han Dynasty'."

"Haha, the holy monk was joking. How could I call the 'Four Elders of the Han Dynasty'? It can only be regarded as the 'Four Elders of the Deep Mountains'."

After saying that, the Eighteenth Duke led Tang Sanzang to the Yanxia stone house. He saw three big characters "Muxian'an" written on the door, and the stone house was already prepared with Poria cake, fragrant soup and other foods.

After the old men and Tang Sanzang discussed their seats, they reached out and said, "The holy monk came from afar, and eat some food to suffice your stomach first."

"Thank you all the immortals."

Tang Sanzang sensed the "light of the righteous way" and did not react abnormally. Then he was polite and started using these foods.

It has to be said that the food prepared by these old men may not be called the fairy and spiritual wine, and the taste is not called the world's best, but it has a unique fragrance of plants and trees, which makes people feel the illusion of relaxing and relaxing in nature.

The Eighteenth Duke immediately talked about the topic that had been interrupted before and said. "As for the vegetarian tea that I just mentioned to the holy monk, Xingxian has already gone to take it. Let's talk about scriptures and recite poems for a moment."

When Tang Sanzang heard this, his heart moved and asked casually. "I don't know what kind of fairy tea it is, it is worthy of all the fairy men's attention and invite them to taste it."

"This fairy tea..."

The Eighteenth Duke stroked his white beard and said, "In fact, it was not made by us. We are just responsible for keeping it."

"oh?"

Tang Sanzang heard these words that seemed to be meaningful and pretended to respond in ignorance.

Gu Zhigong, who was sitting opposite Tang Sanzang, smiled and said, "The four of us are just over a thousand years old. They have developed spiritual wisdom almost around the same year, and have also achieved enlightenment together. Can the holy monk know why?"

"Mr. Gu Zhi was joking. I was only a few decades old. Compared with the immortals' thousand-year-old life, how can I know the inside story? Besides, I am just a monk and have only a little understanding of the practice. Therefore, I really don't know what Gu Zhi asked about it."

Tang Sanzang put his palms together and replied compassionately and peacefully.

"No, no, no, there is a great reason for the holy monk."

The Eighteenth Duke took the conversation, pointed his finger at the three big words on the wooden door, and said, "The Holy Monk can guess again."

Tang Sanzang frowned slightly, and then looked at the words on the wooden door that seemed to be engraved casually.

Muxian Temple...

Is there any problem?

Slow down!

Suddenly, Tang Sanzang reacted.

Temples are usually called "Ming" where people live in Buddhism, and most of them refer to nuns. Why are the four monsters in front of you now living here?

Or... what is the relationship between the nun's place of residence and a generation of holy monks like me?

No, no, no, no, no! I am innocent, my first time here.

Seeing that Tang Sanzang had not answered for a long time, the Eighteenth Duke had no intention of being mysterious, he answered directly.

"At that time, this Muxian Temple was a temporary residence of a Buddhist master. Jin Chanzi, the holy monk's previous life, often came here to discuss Taoism and scriptures. We were just ordinary plants and trees growing nearby. We also gained the yin of the holy monk's previous life and activated our spiritual wisdom one after another. We all managed to cultivate ourselves within a thousand years based on our own gains..."

After a pause, the Eighteenth Duke continued. "So, we owe the Holy Monk a great kindness and cause and effect, and even came strictly. It was the Holy Monk who enlightened us."

...

Tang Sanzang.

Tang Sanzang felt that it was as merciful as himself and could do such things.

But "安" is basically the place where female Buddhists live. Is it appropriate to come often? And he also created four things in front of him.

No, no, I am not such a person with no moral integrity!

A misunderstanding must be a misunderstanding.

However, Tang Sanzang stopped in his heart and asked the 18th Lord and other monsters who were the original owner of the "Muxian Temple" back then.

What Jin Chanzi did, what does it have to do with me, Tang Sanzang?

As soon as he thought of this, Tang Sanzang smiled slightly, not disagreeing with what the Eighteenth Lord said just now, just laughing without saying a word.

The Eighteenth Duke continued with gratitude and respect.

"And Jin Chanzi brewed vegetarian tea in this Muxian Temple and buried it, so that we could invite the saint monks of the Tang Dynasty who passed here to taste it in a thousand years."

"So, after we transformed, we were practicing here with peace of mind and waiting for the arrival of the holy monk. But what we didn't expect was that the holy monk was actually the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi."

Fu Yunsou, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said with emotion.

"After learning about this, we wanted to leave this Thorn Ridge to find the Holy Monk, but we were worried that this would destroy the arrangement left by the Holy Monk back then, so we could only stay in Thorn Ridge patiently and wait for the Holy Monk to arrive."

When Tang Sanzang heard this, he said with a compassionate and calm expression. "Amitabha, all the immortals are truly people of true nature. But I may be the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, but I will return to my whole life. Now I am just Tang Sanzang."

The Eighteen Dukes and Four Monsters looked at each other, but they had no intention of arguing with Tang Sanzang about this matter, so they spoke directly.

"At that time, we planted around us, in addition to often hearing Jin Chanzi discussing Taoism and scriptures, we often listened to Jin Chanzi's various eternal quatrains. The profound artistic conception really made us yearn for. Therefore, in addition to practicing for thousands of years, we often learned the poems and songs of the human race. We also asked the holy monks to give advice today to fulfill our wishes for thousands of years."

...

Tang Sanzang.

At this moment, Tang Sanzang felt completely helpless.

Isn’t this the way to travel west to obtain the scriptures? Why does this disaster mean to pass the poems and songs?

Of course, as a former pseudo-"literary lover", Tang Sanzang might not be able to reach the top, but there are still many eternal poems in mind. It is not difficult to learn from the predecessors who occasionally show their skills and shock them.
