Chapter 1260: Words of Rebuttal
Master Gao directly refused Tang Seng:
"The high monk has come from afar from the Great Tang; staying at our Gao Village today makes our Gao Village shine with glory."
"If we cannot treat the high monk well, others might think our Gao Village has declined!"
"So, high monk, you must be treated well."
Master Gao's words had reached this point, so Tang Seng naturally had no words of rebuttal.
Because Gao An had just gone to instruct the kitchen to prepare the vegetarian meal, Master Gao was now taking Tang Seng for a stroll around Gao Village.
The chefs of Gao Village were very fast, so Tang Seng did not wait long.
The chefs over there had already prepared a vegetarian meal.
Of course, part of the reason was that these chefs had prepared the food originally intended for Master Gao's seventieth birthday celebration tomorrow in advance.
And Sun Wukong, who had been following Tang Seng, felt more and more puzzled.
Originally, Sun Wukong thought he would be able to see Marshal Tianpeng, but along the way, let alone seeing Marshal Tianpeng...
... he hadn't even sensed Marshal Tianpeng's aura.
However, in front of Tang Seng and Master Gao, Sun Wukong could not go searching for him personally.
Master Gao, hearing Gao An's report that the vegetarian meal was ready, looked at Tang Seng and said:
"I have always thought that those in Fomen eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name, so the meal prepared is very simple; I hope the high monk will not mind."
Although Master Gao said this, the vegetarian meal prepared was actually very sumptuous.
But Tang Seng was from the Great Tang, and as a high monk, in Master Gao's view, the vegetarian meals he had eaten and seen were probably more sumptuous than he could imagine.
Therefore, before this, Master Gao humbled himself first, so as not to displease Tang Seng later.
"Amitabha! This poor monk thanks Master Gao!"
Tang Seng did not care about Master Gao's statement.
After all, Tang Seng was not someone greedy for the pleasures of the palate, so even if it were coarse tea and plain water, Tang Seng would not mind.
When Master Gao brought Tang Seng, Sun Wukong, and the monk Cihang to the main hall...
... there were already quite a few people seated at the dining table:
These people, without exception, were Master Gao's daughters and sons-in-law.
Here, just as Tang Seng sat down, Master Gao began to introduce them one by one along the seats:
"High monk, this is my eldest son-in-law, and the one beside him is my eldest daughter..."
"Greetings to the high monk from the Great Tang!"
Master Gao's eldest son-in-law and eldest daughter greeted Tang Seng very kindly.
"Amitabha!"
Tang Seng also returned a Buddhist salute.
"High monk, this is my second son-in-law, and the one beside him is my second daughter."
"Greetings to the high monk from the Great Tang!"
Master Gao's second son-in-law and second daughter also followed suit, imitating the actions of the eldest son-in-law.
"Amitabha!"
Tang Seng also returned a Buddhist salute to Master Gao's second son-in-law and second daughter.
"This one is my third daughter, Gao Cuilan."
"My daughter greets the high monk from the Great Tang!"
Gao Cuilan performed a polite curtsy to Tang Seng.
"Amitabha!"
Tang Seng still did the same thing, returning a Buddhist salute. ===== CHAPTER 1262 =====
