Of course, Lin Zi Chen would not leave the Hidden Cloud Temple like this. He had come here for the nether bead grass, and now that it was right in front of his eyes, he definitely would not give up.

It was just as Fang Xun and Xuan An had said, Lin Zi Chen had decided to stay in the temple that night. Actually, this kind of thing was very common.

In the evening, Lin Zichen and a few monks had a fast meal together before going to the guest room.

There was a standard way to stay in the guest rooms of the Hidden Cloud Temple. However, Lin Zichen had spent several tens of thousands of dollars on it, so Fang Jian Xuan An had exempted him from paying for it.

The modern temple was very different from the ancient times. Monks did not sleep very early, especially the Cloud Hidden Temple, which was a rarely visited temple. Monks had a lot of activities at night.

Lin Zichen noticed that a few monks were playing cards and gambling in the buddhist hall, some were playing mobile games, and some were even video chatting with girls.

But contrary to Lin Zichen's expectations, Zi Kong was very obedient. He stayed in his room after dinner and did not come out.

”Master, could it be that Zi Kong has already gone to sleep?” Xiao Feng asked.

Lin Zi Chen thought for a moment, then said with a smile, ”I don't know, it doesn't matter. Let's go find him.”

Lin Zi Chen had originally planned to wait for Zi Kong to appear and drag him into the guest room, but since he wasn't going to come out, he could only take the initiative to look for him.

Arriving at the door of Zi Kong's room, Lin Zichen couldn't help but furrow his brows. He discovered that Zi Kong wasn't asleep, and there were still sounds coming from the room.

He used his soul to enter the room and could not help but laugh out loud. It seemed that this guy had not had a proper meal at night and was currently drinking and eating meat.

Half a bottle of Jian Nanchun, a roasted chicken. It was bare-chested and its mouth was filled with oil. There was no need to mention how enjoyable it was.

Lin Zi Chen decided not to knock anymore. He placed his hand on the door handle, ignoring the lock as he pushed open the door and entered.

Hearing the door, Zi Kong was shocked and almost jumped up in fright. Although the rules of the Hidden Cloud Temple weren't strict and there were many monks who were smeared with meat, but eating in public in the temple was still quite serious.

Seeing Lin Zi Chen, the chicken in Zi Kong's mouth stuck in his throat, his face instantly flushed red.

Lin Zi Chen shook his head and laughed. He turned around and closed the door and said, ”Hehe, Zi Kong, you can do that. You can play with women at the foot of the mountain. Go back to the Buddhist Sangha and drink and eat meat.”

”Lin …” ”Mr. Lin, don't, don't say anything,” Zi Kong swallowed the food with all his might, looking upset. ”Please don't tell the abbot, okay?”

Lin Zi Chen laughed: ”Hehe, not bad, but...” There's something I want to talk to you about. ”

”Go ahead, don't mention it!” Zi Kong said as he wrapped the roasted chicken with a paper roll and put it under the bed along with the wine bottle.

”Hehe, don't be afraid. Continue eating and drinking. I just want to ask, when will Reverend Fang leave the courtyard?”

Actually, Lin Zichen could steal the Dark Pearl Grass without anyone knowing, but one problem was that the vines there were extremely sturdy. Even if Lin Zichen could destroy them all with ease, it would still create some noise, so he had to take advantage of Xuan An's absence.

Hearing this, Zi Kong thought for a moment. ”Most of the time, Reverend Fang would stay in the meditation room. For the past two years, he has rarely talked about anything else. There's nothing that really doesn't come out.”

Lin Zi Chen slightly narrowed his eyes and nodded. Seeing this, Zi Kong asked: ”Mister Lin, what are you trying to do?”

”Zi Kong, you like being a monk?”

These words caused Zi Kong to be stunned. It was indeed strange to ask a monk like that.

”Haha, Mister Lin, I'm a monk anyway, what do you like or not? What do you mean by that …”

Lin Zichen smiled, ”No, I just feel that you like women and you like drinking and eating meat. Why do you need to be a monk? Isn't it better to go back to the city and marry a wife?”

”What?” Wife? Hahaha, don't be ridiculous, ”Zi Kong laughed, but very quickly he shook his head with a look of helplessness,” Mister Lin, I do have some money, but it's only tens of thousands of dollars. Besides eating something good, what else do you think I should do? Wife? ”How can we raise them?”

”You're only half-way home, aren't you?” Lin Zi Chen said with a smile.

Zi Kong nodded his head, ”That's right, I started at the age of twenty-three. At that time, my family was so poor that they were ringing loudly. I didn't have any parents, so I just muddled around all day. When I can't even eat anymore, I'll just go out and get full.”

Lin Zichen nodded, ”Indeed, some of the better monasteries, even the royal monasteries, require a high degree to become a monk. If you want to become a monk, you have to enter the Hidden Cloud Temple.”

”Yeah, last year, a few rich people gave millions to the temple, so I earned some money by taking advantage of purchasing. ”Not much more.”

”Hur hur, how much do you think it would be to go to the city to marry a wife?”

Zi Kong thought for a while. ”Mr. Lin, let's not talk about the city, we can do it in the countryside. But at least we have to build a house and leave some money to live in. This society …” ”It's impossible without a million and eight hundred thousand.”

Lin Zi Chen smiled, what Zi Kong said was true, he did not have the ability to earn money, even if he lived in the countryside, he would need to keep a few hundred thousand yuan in his hands to live on, plus he needed to build a house.

”Zi Kong, do me a favor. I'll give you two million and you can go down the mountain. Whether it's in the city or in the countryside, at least you can live with me. How about it?”

After Lin Zi Chen said this, Zi Kong was stunned, was this really meeting a noble? Who would be willing to be a monk if they could live with a woman in their arms every day?

”Is what you said true, Mr. Lin?”

Lin Zi Chen nodded and smiled: ”Of course I won't lie to you, do you agree?”

Zi Kong stood up and said, ”Mister Lin, what do you want me to do? ”As long as it's not illegal, I will do it!”
