In the end, the Great Sage broke the rules.

Chapter 189 So Much Gold

On the day the master and his disciples set off, three rhinoceros demons came to see them off and even prepared food for them.

King Bihan cupped his hands and said, "This is spirit rice carefully cultivated by the little demons. We hope that you masters will accept it."

Chen Yi glanced at the three heavy bags of rice on the cart, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, and replied, "Thank you!"

With that, he flicked his sleeve, and the three bags of rice vanished as if by magic, disappearing into his spatial storage.

Spirit rice is worlds apart from ordinary rice, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate. It is quite surprising that this group of rhinoceros demons were so generous.

Such good stuff shouldn't be wasted; he can save it for Eleven.

After bidding farewell to the rhinoceros demon, the master and his disciples continued their journey westward.

After an unknown amount of time, the master and disciples arrived at the territory of the Kingdom of Shravasti.

The Bujin Temple before us is like a dazzling pearl, inlaid on this land.

It is a sacred site where the Buddha preached before attaining enlightenment, solemn and awe-inspiring.

Although Jiang Liuer had been reincarnated, when he gazed at the temple, a sense of déjà vu welled up in his heart.

He slowly closed his eyes, and the scene of Buddha preaching began to appear in his mind. The solemn and majestic atmosphere seemed to be right in front of him.

Just then, a kind-looking old monk came out of the temple. He introduced himself as the abbot of the temple and asked Jiang Liuer where he was a wandering monk from.

Jiang Liuer: "This humble monk is Tang Xuanzang, who came from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East and is on his way to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures."

After the introduction, Jiang Liuer asked the old monk where the site where the Buddha preached was located.

Without saying a word, the abbot led the master and his disciples to the backyard.

Abbot: "This is the garden where Shakyamuni Buddha preached and taught."

As he spoke, the abbot also introduced the garden's history to the group.

"Speaking of this garden, it was built when Anathapindika wanted to invite the Buddha to preach in Shravasti, but he had no place to do so. So he asked Prince Jidha to buy this garden so that the Buddha could preach there."

"The Crown Prince said he would not sell this garden. If you want to buy it, you must cover the entire garden with five inches of gold."

“Treasures cannot compare to the truth spoken by the Buddha. Not long after, Anathapindika covered the ground of his garden with gold.”

Seeing the dazzling gold scattered all over the ground, the master and his disciples couldn't help but marvel.

Looking at the gold scattered on the ground like stars, Chen Yi thought to himself, "The place where the Buddha preaches is really luxurious. I wonder if he will be noticed if he secretly takes some?"

Jiang Liuer slowly walked to the center, and the scene of Buddha preaching back then seemed to be right in front of him, clear as day.

He crossed his legs and began chanting Buddhist scriptures like an old monk in meditation.

The abbot gazed at Jiang Liuer's figure in the garden, a smile playing on his lips, and softly asked the others, "Masters, wouldn't you like to give it a try?"

Chen Yi and his son shook their heads like rattles, saying in unison, "No, no!"

Asking them to chant scriptures is more difficult than asking them to go through fire and water.

Sun Wukong and his two companions also refused without hesitation. They had no interest in chanting scriptures, and only someone as patient as Jiang Liuer could calm down and concentrate.

When the abbot saw that they refused, he led them to the meditation room where they could rest.

Not long after everyone rested in the meditation room, night quietly fell.

Chen Yi tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, his mind constantly preoccupied with the gold in the garden.

Sun Wukong held the person in his arms and whispered, "What's wrong? Can't sleep?"

Chen Yi: "It's nothing, I just had a money addiction."

After hearing this, Sun Wukong chuckled softly and whispered a few words in Chen Yi's ear.

After hearing what Sun Wukong said, Chen Yi looked shocked, smiled, kissed Sun Wukong on the cheek, and praised, "Great Sage, you're amazing!"

"Now you can sleep, right? If you don't want to sleep, this Great Sage can take you to do some things," Sun Wukong said.

Feeling the restless hand on his waist, Chen Yi immediately closed his eyes and mumbled, "I'm asleep, I'm already asleep."

Seeing Chen Yi's reluctance, Sun Wukong looked disappointed. Sensing the restlessness of his little brother, he sighed softly, hugged Chen Yi tighter, and waited for his little brother to calm down.
