Daoran was walking along the road with a big basket on his back. After passing the bun shop, he didn't see much food selling on the road. At most, there were people on the side of the road selling sesame cakes and sweets on a burden.

You cannot witness the slaughter of livestock, and eating it does not constitute breaking the precept.

It's a pity that there is no means of refrigeration in this era. Livestock are slaughtered early in the morning and sold out before dawn, otherwise the meat will be smelly by noon.

Now that the day has passed, it may not be easy to find meat that is not pure meat. Dao Ran has given up. If he has time to steal a wild dog to satisfy his craving that day, he should be able to break the precept.

But you still have to eat. Daoran is now a cultivator and his appetite is much larger than before. He is not hungry at all with a meat bun. Even if he is a vegetarian, he can eat a whole table.

While walking, Daoran saw a five-story high-rise building at the end of the avenue. On the plaque were the magnificent three-character "Sanzang Building". Even in broad daylight, red lanterns were lit.

Daoran heard a story about two wealthy businessmen in ancient times who were fighting for their fortunes. They lit up the lights in the whole house day and night until one of them could no longer hold on.

You know, this candle oil is not cheap. Most people just go to bed when it gets dark because they can't afford to light a lamp.

This Sanzang Tower actually has lanterns lit in broad daylight. If today is not a special day, it means that the lanterns are kept on day and night. This is a naked show of wealth.

I remember that Widow Sun said that Tripitaka Tower likes to support Buddhists the most. It is such a magnificent place that you need to experience it.

Daoran quickened his pace and walked towards the Sanzang Building.

Arriving in front of the building, Daoran discovered another special feature of this five-story building - the floors are extremely high.

Although it has only five floors, it is taller than the seven-story pagoda of Jinshan Temple, and it occupies a very large area. It does not look like an ordinary restaurant, but more like a small manor.

Moreover, the Sanzang Tower is backed by the West Lake and has a broken bridge to the south. It is the most scenic part of Hangzhou.

"This Sanzanglou boss is definitely not an ordinary person." Daoran thought to himself.

When we arrived at the door of Sanzang Tower, before Daoran could speak, the waiter who greeted us had already walked over in small steps and said kindly and enthusiastically: "Master, welcome to Sanzang Tower."

The boy's smile was sincere and he was not impatient at all. He didn't care about Dao Ran's old monk's robes that were stained by the dust. He even thoughtfully helped him carry the big basket behind his back.

Just as he raised his hand, the boy's expression froze.

Because he found that once he took advantage of it, the basket did not move at all.

Daoran clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, thank you so much to the donor. The monk can just carry it on his own."

The boy quickly retracted his hands and said respectfully to Dao Ran: "You are a villain who doesn't know the importance. Master, please come in."

Daoran was led into the gate, and there was a lively scene in front of him.

In the hall, dozens of Eight Immortals tables were almost full, dotted around the huge Buddha statue in the middle.

This Buddha statue is only two feet high. It is carved from sandalwood. It wears a Vairocana crown on its head, a brocade cassock, and a nine-ring tin staff. The details of its eyebrows are lifelike, and it is a work of art. Compared with the dull color, no matter it is

The materials used and the handwork are all so high-profile and luxurious.

But this is not the common statue of Sakyamuni, but a standing statue of the Buddha of Merit and Virtue made of sandalwood.

No wonder it’s called Tripitaka Tower, as it is Master Tripitaka who is enshrined inside.

It is said that after the journey to the west, although Mahayana Buddhism failed to bless the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years and could not save all sentient beings in the world, Buddhism was indeed much more prosperous than before.

Master Tripitaka experienced ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties to obtain the true scriptures. It is natural for him to be enshrined for his merits.

It's just that Daoran felt that this Sanzang Building was too luxurious.

According to the rules of Tripitaka Tower, monks are all distinguished guests, so Dao Ran did not sit in the hall and was taken directly to the private seats on the second floor.

What surprised him was that there were not many monks in this place.

On the entire second floor, only two monks could be seen using vegetarian food.

With so little food and drink, the moral standards of the monks in Hangzhou are a bit high.

Although Sanzang Tower surprised Dao Ran a lot, Dao Ran was still very determined in his goal and would wait for a while before talking.

Daoran said to the boy who was leading the way: "Donor, the young monk came from Jinshan Temple in Yongzhou. He heard that Tripitaka Tower has opened its doors for convenience. Can you make some vegetarian food?"

"Don't worry, Master, all monks from all over the world will have free food and lodging when they come to Tripitaka Tower." The boy said proudly.

"Board and board are free? No time limit?" Daoran asked.

"Of course, Master, you can stay as long as you want and eat whatever you want."

The boss is so awesome!

Daoran had a good impression of the boss of Sanzanglou. In his previous life, he also wanted to be such a grand person, but unfortunately he was still not close.

"In this case, I'm sorry for disturbing you, young monk. Please fill up the table first," Daoran said.

The waiter was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "One table?"

The table in the private room on the second floor is much larger than the Eight Immortals table. It can seat ten people. How can a full table be accommodated?

This little monk looks so good-looking, why is he talking without thinking?

But the shopkeeper said that all the monks in the world are nobles of Sanzanglou. Anyway, you don’t have to spend your own money, just take a table.

Vegetarian dishes that were delicious, tasty, and tasty were served, and the entire table was quickly filled.

Daoran was not polite, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

The taste is quite good, better than the one at Jinshan Temple, but it lacks a bit of freshness.

The vegetarian food at Jinshan Temple is bland, but the raw materials seem to be unusual. All the monks at Jinshan Temple eat well, and almost no one gets sick.

Although the vegetarian food in Sanzanglou tastes good, it lacks the aroma that is physically and mentally beneficial.

Although it had flaws, Daoran was still very happy to eat it. After all, it cost no money and it still tasted delicious.

Just after taking a few bites, a Buddha's call came from the side: "Amitabha, my junior brother, do you know that among the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance, the word greed is the first of the three poisons."

Daoran raised his head and saw a handsome and handsome monk looking at him with a serious face. He was the one who was sitting next to him just now.

Daoran was just thinking about filling his stomach, but he didn't notice this person. He didn't expect that he would suddenly come over to chat with him, and he would start a conversation with a harsh tone of accusation.

Daoran clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, what the senior brother taught me is that the young monk has learned the lesson."

[If you don’t mean what you say, you are committing a lie.]

[Your Ring-breaking Monk talent is activated, and you gain Taste +1.]

Well, the taste of vegetarian rice in my mouth is more distinct, not bad.

After Daoran answered, he never looked at the handsome monk again and continued to eat his fasting meal.

The handsome monk's expression changed, and he felt a sense of panic in his heart.

What he just said was to accuse Dao Ran of ordering a bunch of fast food randomly and wasting food without finishing it. He clearly felt that the fast food in Sanzanglou was free of money and he was greedy for too much. This is a taboo in Buddhism.

For the monk, the effect of these words was equivalent to pointing his nose and scolding his mother. Who would have thought that Dao Ran not only had no intention of distinguishing, but actually accepted it calmly.

This made the handsome monk feel like he punched the air, but it had no effect at all, and his efforts were completely in vain.

But this person had already admitted his mistake, and for a while he didn't know how to continue questioning.

After pausing for a moment, the handsome monk asked reluctantly: "The poor monk's name is Shenxiu. My master is Zen Master Daoji, the abbot of Lingyin Temple. I wonder where my junior brother comes from?"
