Xiao Xie was obviously just an excuse, and Nagi Senzaemon came out of the banquet hall and entered the silent tea garden alone.

The 'Tea Garden' is a very important area in the Japanese Garden, and the layout here is different from the main garden, with a fence around it, and a deep garden path from the courtyard gate to the tea house, planted with trees on both sides, and a lot of stones.

Fortunately, there are many stone lanterns for lighting on the path, and the environment is quiet, but there is no trace of gloom. The sound of clogs from Nagikiri-senzaemon came to the hand-washing bowl in the corner.

'Hand washing bowl' is actually hollowing out a stone, chiseling it into a container and filling it with water.

A layer of moss climbed on the surface of the stone, and the bamboo tube ticked towards the stone bowl to seep water, and Senzaemon took a bamboo water scooping utensil, and the maids usually made tea, and before the tea ceremony, they had to scoop water here and wash their hands. It's a very simple bathing ritual.

Nagi Senzaemon washed his hands with slightly cold water, and then took out his mobile phone from his pocket and opened the address book.

"Toot ......"

A long dial tone.

The old man sat under the eaves corner of the tea house corridor and chatted with friends from other countries.

Of course, if anyone else is listening here, they must be shocked by the content of the chat.

"Are you sure?!"

"I'm sure. It is indeed the epitome of 'extreme excellence'. ”

"It's a big deal, old iron. ”

The corner of his eyes twitched, his hand was in the pocket of his kimono, he touched it, and he didn't find a cigarette or a lighter for a long time, so he simply gave up the idea of smoking a cigarette and lighting a lonely one, and asked with his lips slightly open: "Are there any demons in the past who have been promoted like this?"

“…… Don't ask me. ”

“？”

"Because, who knows what kind of road Liu Pleiades and Lan Feihong went through before they became kitchen gods. I'm not from that era!

“…… So what do we do now?

"Guide, hehe, when he has completely comprehended the 'extreme', we old guys have to step aside and watch him perform quietly as a passerby. ”

“……”

The corner of Nagi Senzaemon's eye twitched again.

It's not that he didn't hear the emotions of his old friend on the other side, but so what. No matter how hard the former waves struggle, they are destined to be shot to death. Thinking of tonight's experience, a trace of fear passed through Senzaemon's eyes, this young man, he couldn't understand it.

"It seems that he is the only one who has gone down the road. Nagi Senzaemon said wistfully.

"yes!"

The tone on the other end was also full of Dandan's sadness.

"It's not okay to be old!"

With this sentence, the call ended.

Hold your phone for a long time. Nagi Senzaemon looked at the bright moon that was sucked in by the hand washing bowl, and his face, which had always been Tarzan collapsed without changing color, showed obvious hesitation.

"Well, just behind him, push him one last hand. The old man flipped through the address book and made a second call.

"Hahaha, Senzaemon, is there anything urgent about looking for me as a monk late at night?"

Hearty words, from the abbot of Shilin Temple.

"Yizhen, I want to send someone to Shilin Temple and practice for a while. ”

"How long has it been practicing?"

"It depends on what he means. ”

"Oh?"

Nagi Senzaemon said solemnly: "Also, if you can, please be sure to answer his questions in person." Please!"

……

Xia Yu was privately summoned by Senzaemon after seeing Doris away at the end of the dinner party, and heard that he was going to Shilin Temple to practice.

His first reaction was that he didn't understand.

"Cultivation?" Xia Yu looked weird, "Chef is not a profession of cultivation, and escapism is behind closed doors, how do you know if your dishes are popular with guests?"

He was an admirer of practice and experience, and he never cared about cultivation or anything.

Senzaemon just patted him on the shoulder and gave him a serious look, "Believe me, you will definitely gain something from this trip, but how much you will gain depends on yourself." You must know that in Shilin Temple, except for the disciples and disciples of the temple, almost no outsiders are welcome, so I lost my face and asked for such a place for cultivation. ”

What else can Xia Yu say, Xianzaemon doesn't pursue him for "stealing teachers", which is a great mind and bearing.

For himself, ah, you stole the nirvana recipe that you worked so hard to create, and brought it to the first level!

Such a big-minded and generous senior, a huge treasure in the family, Xia Yu is naturally 10,000 willing to accept his arrangement. He's not heartless.

Moreover, Shilin Temple has always been a taboo-like existence in the food world of the island country, and it has always been so overwhelming that Yuanyue can't catch up, Xia Yu has long been curious, and he can't wait to find out the secret, to see how amazing the foundation of existence is such a behemoth as Shilin Temple.

In the past three days, Doris returned to Europe from the island country, and Xia Yu also began her own practice.

By tram.

By plane.

JR trains.

Sota Aoki, who was originally a monk of Shirinji Temple, left Tokyo with Xia Yu, changed several means of transportation during the process, and finally drove a car into the mountain.

In the deep mountains of the island country, the scenery is always similar. Xia Yu didn't know where he had arrived, and he didn't have the heart to turn on his mobile phone to locate it, he closed his eyes all the way to the terminal, until he entered the mountain, the car was finally blocked by the dense vegetation on the mountain road, and he had to stop, and Aoki Sota woke him up.

"Hey, hey, it's time to wake up. ”

Sota Aoki stood outside the window.

Xia Yu rubbed his eyes and got out of the car, and Aoki Zongtai was surprised: "You have slept all day, why are you still listless?"

Xia Yu rolled his eyes and didn't squeak.

Isn't that nonsense? Soaking in the mysterious space where the flow of time is unusually fast all day, 1 hour is 1 day, a short trip is like a month has passed every other day, Xia Yu feels that he has not collapsed or collapsed, he is really strong-willed.

"Mobile phone positioning doesn't work here, you just sit for a while, I'll find my way." ”

The snake left a sentence.

Xia Yu was full of black lines, and he didn't know where to complain.

Although he knew that Aoki Sota hadn't returned to the temple for a few years, it wasn't like he didn't even know the road.

Thinking like this, he raised his eyes and looked ahead, his vision was completely obscured by the lush green, and the corners of Xia Yu's mouth twitched subtly, as if no one had weeded and cut down trees to maintain the road condition, it was normal for him not to be able to recognize the road if he hadn't been here for a few years.

The vicissitudes of life, the passage of time.

This sentence is also applicable to yourself. Xia Yu laughed, in a good mood, and checked the harvest of the retreat for a few days.

"System: Task completed. ”

For the time being, I didn't have time to pay attention to the one I had just learned, and the two source stones were put into the backpack, and the original one, after superimposing, the number jumped to "3", Xia Yu immediately put the step-breaking props, locked the cooking skills, and chose to use it!
