Chapter Thirty-Eight: Pickled Vegetables

The sun rose, floated on the mountain in the distance, and rose up with all its might, brushing aside the dance of the morning glow, revealing a smug smile. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Haven't you had breakfast yet?" Seeing her coming, Qingtan asked, and without saying it, he hugged her and went to the meditation bed.

"I've lived here for so long, and I haven't had breakfast at the same table with you." Yu Xiaoling shook his head and said with a smile. Instead of mentioning those troublesome things to him, the two of them had the feeling that they used to get along for a long time.

"In the past, I loved to eat steamed vegetables with leaves, but now I am afraid that I will not be able to eat them, and they will all become old leaves." Yu Xiaoling recalled what he had eaten in Tanzhe Temple and said.

Who knew that Qingtan smiled softly, with a bit of mystery that he didn't tell.

"Huh?" Yu Xiaoling was interested and glanced at him sideways.

Fu He knocked on the door, Qingtan answered him, he pushed the door and came in, and slowly served a tray of vegetables in his hand.

Fu He cautiously and quickly glanced at the mage, and saw that the mage was slightly different from the past, and his face seemed to have a smile that seemed to be nothing, and his heart was slightly shocked.

The mage never eats so much food, and on weekdays it is just a plate of side dishes and a bowl of porridge.

Today, he served six bowls of vegetarian dishes, two porridge and water, and one dish that no one could eat.

Was it for the girl? She could have eaten so much?

But if you can't eat it, you can't worry about him, the mage explained to him early this morning, you don't have to stay in the courtyard, go to the Dragon King Hall to see how the copper stone fish is doing.

After thinking about it, Fu He had already closed the door and retreated.

"Wow, there's pickled cabbage!" Yu Xiaoling was surprised, and without waiting for Qingtan to reply, he picked up a piece of chopsticks and ate it.

"This ...... Where did it come from? Are you pickled? A pair of eyes widened, but her mouth chewed more and more carefully.

"Is it delicious?" Qingtan asked her.

"Delicious...... Delicious. Yu Xiaoling's chick nodded like a peck of rice, and swallowed it before saying, "This juice is exactly the same as that made by Takicui!" ”

There was once a master in Tanzhe Temple who was the best at making this pickled dish, but unfortunately not many people knew about it, and others couldn't stand the strange taste of this dish, but Yu Xiaoling had a deep impression of this taste. When Qingtan was a child, she was also obsessed with her and helped her steal Master Takicui's vegetable jar.

"Did you really do it? When did you learn it? Why didn't I know all along? I thought I would never be able to eat it again. ”

After taking a sip of white water to moisten his mouth, Qingtan said: "I found it when I was sorting out the relics of Master Takicui this year, and the secret recipe for pickling was recorded on the silk silk. ”

"Oh! How much did you pickle? Bring me some. Yu Xiaoling hurriedly opened his mouth to ask for it.

Qingtan had nothing to do, and promised to give her all the jars.

The two of them finished their breakfast with a smile and a smile, and they also ate the tray of dishes and porridge.

"How have you been doing for the past few months?" Qingtan asked her, and her slender ten fingers made tea elegantly.

Yu Xiaoling stood up and moved his hands and feet, smiled and said, "Okay", and remembered a few interesting things he had seen and heard, so he twisted a few places and talked about them.

When he said that on the day of Duanyang, he did a good deed every day and had to use his spiritual power, Qingtan's hand pouring tea paused.

He listened silently to Yu Xiaoling's explanation of the follow-up situation, then put down the teapot, raised his head, and said seriously to Yu Xiaoling: "I'll test your spiritual power with you to see how much there is." ”

Yu Xiaoling tilted his head and thought about it, nodded and said "Okay".

On the windowsill, a finch that had not yet flown south for some reason fluttered its wings and fell; Under the windowsill, the two sat cross-legged opposite each other, each silently admiring.

It wasn't until Yu Xiaoling took a deep breath and felt the turbidity in his chest reveal that he slowly closed his eyes.

Qingtan also closed his eyes, folded his hands, opened his thin lips lightly, and read words.

After about half a cup of tea, Yu Xiaoling's body was a little different, and a faint layer of golden light flashed around his body. Then, a faint figure slowly detached from her body, floated upward, and finally landed an inch above her head.

The shape, between nothingness and nothingness, shifts between human form and fish form, ethereal, like real and illusory......

Yu Xiaofei begged for a string of peace beads, and turned his head to see Xiao Shami Fuhe, who took Yu Xiaoling to see Master Qingtan yesterday, and talked to Xiao Shami next to him.

She suddenly became interested, stepped forward and took two steps closer, and listened to her ears.

“…… Senior brother, I just came out in a hurry, and I forgot something in the meditation room, so you won't go back to the Spiritual Academy for a while, right? Help me look at these, can I go back and get them? An older novice said to Fu He anxiously.

"The mage is meeting guests in the Qiangsheng Academy, let me go to the Dragon King Hall to watch the copper stone fish, it's not in a hurry, senior brother, you can go."

As soon as the novice heard this, he relieved himself, handed Fu He a bag of things, and hurried away.

Yu Xiaofei's eyes rolled.

Shoshoin? Is that the Zen monastery where Master Qingtan lives?

She looked at the sky and estimated that her grandmother and aunt were still worshipping the Bodhisattva, so it should not be an exaggeration for her to walk around.

"Yan Zi, help me ask where the Lower Life Courtyard is." She said.

Going around and around, Yu Xiaofei had already seen an isolated Zen courtyard, there was no plaque on the door, and when he got closer, he saw a piece of bluestone placed at the entrance of the courtyard, engraved with the words "Qiangshengyuan".

She pursed her lips.

It seems that this Dharma Zen Monastery is no different from the courtyard next to it, it is nothing more than a little farther away, and the name of the courtyard is engraved on the stone.

"Girl, do you want the slave to knock on the door?" Yan Zi asked.

Yu Xiaofei frowned and thought about it, and shook his head.

She took two steps forward and gently pushed the door, wanting to take a look inside, but she didn't expect that the door was hidden, and when she pushed it, the scenery of half of the courtyard was undoubtedly revealed.

Yu Xiaofei was so frightened that she took a step back and tightened Yan Zi's clothes on the side.

"Otherwise, the slave still handed over the post seriously......"

But before Yan Zi finished speaking, she saw Yu Xiaofei making a silent gesture towards her: "Shhhhh ”

The courtyard was quiet, and there was not a trace of footsteps.

No one? But is Master Fuhe meeting guests here?

Yu Xiaofei was a little confused, but the hidden door was like a pair of hands, beckoning to her: "Come and take a look!" ”

Yu Xiaofei swallowed and spitted, and when she looked back, she saw that in addition to Yan Zi, she also brought a mother-in-law to follow, and her eyes rolled and said, "I'll go in and take a look at Yu Xiao...... Well...... My sister is not here, she will come out in a while, and you will wait for me here. ”

"This ...... Doesn't the girl take a slave with her? Yan Zi was startled and hurriedly asked.

But Yu Xiaofei glanced at her, swept over her slightly chubby figure, and her eyes flashed with disgust.

It only took her a while to sneak in, and she guaranteed that no one would find out, but Ziyan was so bulky, wouldn't it be bad to take her?

She said "no", turned around and flashed into the hidden gate of the Boot Courtyard.
