Chapter 126 I Grow Old with the Holy Monk (9)
Sang Tian quickly bribed the two little guys, Guangde and Hongshan, with delicious food.
They told Sang Tian that there was a place in the bamboo forest in the back mountain where Guanyi often went. Because Guanyi had said that no one was allowed to get close, no one had ever known what was there.
Guangde told Sang Tian everything he knew about Guanyi.
Guanyi likes to eat sweet things and hates bitter things.
He and Hongshan were both picked up by Guanyi from the foot of the mountain, so they have different feelings towards Guanyi than others.
Sang Tian kept everything Guangde said in mind.
At noon, Sang Tian went to the scripture room to find Guan Yi on time.
As soon as Sang Tian entered, she saw Guan Yi standing at the window looking outside the house. His eyes revealed an expression that ordinary people could not understand.
Hearing the footsteps, Guan Yi slowly turned his head and looked towards Sang Tian.
Almost in an instant, Sang Tian saw what was revealed in Guan Yi's eyes.
There was sadness mixed with a hint of confusion, as if one could not figure out what was going on in this world.
Sang Tian walked over and handed over the wooden box containing the peach crisps.
"Holy monk, I brought this back from the palace. It's sweet but not greasy. You can try it."
Guan Yi looked at the woman in front of him with a face as plain as a magnolia flower, slowly raised his hand to take the box, opened it, took out a piece and put it in his mouth.
A rich aroma attacked his taste buds in his cavity, replacing the bitterness in his throat.
Guan Yi put the peach cake he had taken a bite of back into the wooden box and thanked Sang Tian softly, "Thank you, Fifth Princess. I will accept it."
Sang Tian hummed happily and turned back to where she usually sat. She picked up a pen and carefully wrote the prayer text on the rice paper.
As the sun was setting, a deafening shout suddenly came from the temple, and Sang Tian was startled by the sudden sound.
The ink on the tip of the pen trembled and fell onto the written scriptures, instantly rendering the words unrecognizable.
Sang Tian looked back at Guan Yi in annoyance, but Guan Yi had already stood up and walked outside.
Sang Tian hurriedly packed up her rice paper and quickly followed Guan Yi.
When the two arrived at the front yard, they saw a burly man with a ferocious face holding an elderly monk in his hand.
The old monk was old, and his skinny body looked as if it would fall apart at any time when the man pulled it like that. There was a glaring blood flowing from his skinny wrist.
The man shouted at the abbot fiercely: "You bald ass, this old man stepped on my wife's foot, you must compensate me with one thousand taels of silver today."
Sang Tian poked her head out from behind Guan Yi and saw that behind the man stood a seductive woman in bright clothes and with makeup on.
It's obvious at first glance that the man is not talking about his ideals and is trying to extort money.
Guan Yi took a step forward and placed his hand on the man's wrist, with no emotion in his voice.
"Donor, please let go first. He has lost too much blood."
The man obviously wouldn't listen to Guan Yi and started cursing at him with spit flying everywhere.
"What are you doing butting in about here, you pretty boy? Get out of my way! Or I'll punch you to death!"
The abbot's face changed drastically and he stepped forward to stop him, "Donor, this is a holy monk, you must not talk nonsense!"
The man showed a look of disdain on his face, "What a bullshit holy monk, I don't believe in anything! He is a holy monk, I am the Buddha!"
Sang Tian, who could no longer bear it, strode over and pulled the old monk over, looking at the man fiercely, "You are so brave! In the whole Yue Kingdom, the holy monk is the king!"
The woman behind the man saw Sang Tian's stunning beauty and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes. She reached out and grabbed the man's hand and said coquettishly, "My legs hurt so much, sir!"
