A conversation with Gen Shanneng this night.

Let Jin An know a lot of secrets.

Little marry.

The Ancient Four Elephant Bureau.

Mountain gods.

Luo Gengyu.

Blessed land.

The world of great controversy is coming.

According to the deduction of Jin An and Master Shanneng, that group of antique dealers should have been eyeing the blessed land of Wuzhou Mansion.

That cave blessed land is either in the Thousand Corpses Cave, or it is related to the Dragon King under the Yinyi River, so it took such great pains to create a series of incidents.

While discussing with Master Shanneng, Jin An thought of another thing......

Venerable Shanneng said before that he had been copying scriptures for thirty or forty years, and then he opened his mind overnight and comprehended the Dharma overnight when he was not confused. Master Shanneng's overnight enlightenment was the first batch of people to be affected after the shackles of the sun were broken more than ten years ago, right?

"Daoist Jin'an, I don't know what you think of Shakya's Buddhism?" The robe-clad Master Shanneng smiled at Jin An, who was sitting opposite.

Jin An was puzzled: "Why did Master Shanneng say this?"

"Amitabha. "Venerable Shanneng just folded his hands, chanted a Buddha name, and laughed without saying a word.

Everything seems to be in plain sight.

At this moment, the aroma of food came from the kitchen, and the voice of the old Taoist priest came from the kitchen: "Little brother, Master Shanneng, it's time to eat." ”

In the hall, the old Taoist priest has already set up the dishes and chopsticks.

There are a total of four pairs of chopsticks.

Jin'an's.

The old Taoist priest's.

Sharpening the sword.

Virtuous Mage's.

Tonight's meal, it can be seen that the old Taoist priest has done it very carefully and made a large table full of meals.

Stir-fried tofu skin with carrots,

Carrot stewed tofu soup,

Spicy tofu,

Three fresh,

Vegetarian fried loofah, cold bamboo shoots, fried eggplant, fried tofu skin, stewed beans, dry pot cabbage.

There are a total of ten dishes on the table, nine dishes and one soup, all of which are full of color, flavor and flavor, and it can be seen that the old Taoist priest has really worked hard tonight.

In addition to the carrot fried tofu skin, looking black and not slippery, it looks like it is burnt, just like the sharpened sword behind the old Taoist priest at this time, his face and clothes are stained with pot ash, and he is a little gray.

Jin An looked at a table of dishes, and the expression on his face was surprised.

There are only three people in the Taoist temple plus a sheep, where did the Taoist temple get so many vegetables and make so many kinds of dishes?

And it's night, and it's curfew, so you can't buy vegetables even if you go out.

It seems that the old Taoist priest went door-to-door to find vegetables borrowed from neighbors on the street.

This table of food, the old Taoist priest has worked hard.

"Master Shanneng, I will replace wine with water, and I will toast you first. ”

After the four of them sat down, the old Taoist priest took the initiative to salute the good neng mage, who was ruddy in blood and did not show his old age at all, raised a cup of tea and gave a cup of salute to the old Taoist priest.

"Today, the poor monk came to talk about the Taoist temple, came empty-handed, forgot to follow the ceremony, only brought a mouth and an empty stomach, but let Chen Daochang cook himself, the poor monk came abruptly tonight. ”

The benevolent mage had a look of disbelief on his face.

In the face of Master Shanneng's politeness, the old Taoist priest's informal personality said with a big grin: "There is a saying that there are guests who come from afar, there are not many people who I admire in this life, and Master Shanneng is one of the few people." ”

"Just because you have spent a few days and nights chanting scriptures for those innocent fetuses in Lingqian Township, Master Shanneng, you are a monk worthy of my respect, you noble brother, I have made up my mind in this life. ”

"Today I'm going to have a long talk with Master Shanneng all night, and it's useless for anyone to come. ”

"Master Shanneng come, eat vegetables, eat vegetables, don't patronize and chat with me, how about tasting my craftsmanship. The old Taoist priest kept putting vegetables into Master Shanneng's rice bowl as he spoke.

He sandwiched each dish and quickly piled up the white rice of Gen Shanneng.

"It's not the old way I blow, the old way I have been going south and north for so many years, what delicacies from the mountains and seas, I haven't eaten famous dishes from all over the world, but after going around and around, I finally found that it is still the most delicious home-cooked meal and the most longevity, so the old way I have wandered in the north and south for most of my life, and often can't catch up in the town to find a place to stay, that is thirsty to drink mountain springs, hungry to pick wild vegetables from the pot, sleepy to take the world as a cover, and practiced a good home-cooked food skills. With my old cooking skills, I put it in Jixian Building, which is the favorite place for scholars and doctors, so I am also a chef. ”

The old Taoist priest kept urging Master Shanneng to eat, eat the vegetables, and taste his craftsmanship: "Among these dishes, only this fried carrot fried tofu skin is made by the sword for you, this is the sword sharpening four or five times in a row, and the best vegetarian dish is made, the old Taoist I know what the weakness of the sword is." ”

When it came to the weakness of the sword, the old Taoist priest laughed happily.

Sharpening the sword and the three junior brothers, they were about to shout him out of the psychological shadow.

This time, I finally found the weakness of the sword.

No matter how high your martial arts are, you are afraid to cook.

"Amitabha. ”

"Since the poor monk was sent to the White Dragon Temple by his parents since he was a child, the temple is full of big pot rice, and he has never eaten home-cooked food. ”

"When the poor monk was sent to the White Dragon Temple, he was still young, and he couldn't even remember where his home was or where his parents were, and he never had a home-cooked meal with his parents and relatives. ”

Later, when the poor monks got old, the poor monks ate fasting and chanted Buddha every day, and they had no chance to taste home-cooked food. ”

"I didn't expect that in the Taoist temple today, with Daoist Jin'an, Daochang Chen, and the sword sharpening benefactor, there was oral home-cooked food to reunite the family... Amitabha, the poor monk began to envy the bricks and tiles in the Taoist temple of the five visceral organs, and he was free and easy to fight. ”

The good mage was embarrassed.

Afterwards, the senior monk picked up the rice bowl and began to gulp down the rice, eating with relish.

That's home cooking.

With a home.

Only then did it become warm and lively.

No matter the wind or rain, the wind and the sun and the rain, there is a home in the heart, and the distance between the end of the world is only a stone's throw away, because the soul always has a home to shelter from the wind and rain.

"Lao Dao, I've worked hard for you today. ”

"And sharpening the sword, your first time cooking, and today is also a hard time for you. ”

Jin An put vegetables into the rice bowl of the old Taoist priest and the somewhat grizzled sword-sharpening rice bowl, and this dinner, four people at a table ate happily.

Bahh-

Baa –

The silly sheep outside the hall chewed the carrots from time to time, and screamed softly, and the carrots clicked and crunched in its mouth, and the mere listening to them made people's appetite soar.

A bright full moon hangs high, shining on the world

The lights in the Taoist hall are like daylight.

You can hear the crisp sound of silly sheep munching carrots at night.

There are old Taoist priests and Jin An fighting from time to time.

The first time I cooked, I made a little disgraced and sharpened the sword, and ate silently.

Although he couldn't eat enough when he was a child and was often hungry, the taste of his childhood home-cooked food can never be forgotten for a lifetime, and it is the warmth and memory of home.

This is not a big Taoist temple.

The atmosphere was harmonious.

Warm.

Everyone talked and laughed.

Push the cup and change the lamp.

This is the world.

This is the right way in the world.

This kind of world is chic and free, even if you take the heavenly palace, Qionglou Yuyu will not change, because the place where the gods live is too high to be cold.

"Thank you for inviting the poor monks to this home-cooked meal tonight. ”

"The older this person is, the easier it is to recall the past, the poor monk has been nagging you for too long tonight, so I won't disturb the Jin'an Daoist you to rest, and the poor monk should also go." ”

"Thank you again for this home cooked meal tonight. ”

When the meal is full.

Gen Shanneng began to make his resignation.

The old Taoist priest asked a little reluctantly: "Brother, it's getting late tonight, and the road at night is not easy to walk, so it's better to stay in the Taoist Temple of the Five Organs and spend the night before leaving." ”

"Today, I and my brother hit it off at first sight, and I can't bear to let you go. ”

Master Shanneng clasped his hands together and pronounced a Buddha name: "There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, I hope that the poor monk's investigation of the small drought can help the Jin'an Daoist, and it can be regarded as the completion of the agreement promised to the Jin'an Daoist, and the heart can be regarded as worry-free." Jin'an Daochang, Chen Daoyou, and the sword cutting donor, don't pass by, cherish. ”

Baa –

At this time, the stupid sheep who had been eating carrots in the basket in the courtyard outside the hall also cried a few times at the right time.

"Take care of the sheep donor, too. ”

Master Shanneng smiled kindly.

The gifted goat in the courtyard folded his hands and bowed.

Bahh-

Jin An: "Master Shanneng has gone all the way. ”

Old Taoist: "Take care of your brother all the way." ”

Jin An, the old Taoist priest, and the sword sharpened stood at the door of the Taoist temple, watching Master Shanneng leave, and the figure of Master Shanneng gradually drifted away in the moonlight, and his body became lighter and lighter, until it dissipated.

The expression in Sharpening Sword's eyes was a little gloomy, and he asked Jin An puzzled: "Master, why do good people not live long? Uncle Shi is dead, and Master Shanneng is also dead." ”

Faced with the problem of sharpening the sword, Jin An's face had a complicated expression.

For the first time, he was stumped by the words of his sword.

"But do good deeds, don't ask about the future. ”

When the three of them returned to the hall, among the four rice bowls on the dining table, the other three empty bowls were empty, and there were no grains left, not a single grain of grain was wasted, except for one bowl of rice, which did not move.

There were two chopsticks on the bowl of rice, and the dishes that the old Taoist priest had picked up were piled high on the rice, and a mouthful of them was not moved, and the bowl of rice was cold and moldy, not like a hot meal that was only burned tonight, but like it had been put for ten days and half a month......

Some teas fade when you drink them.

Some people scatter as they walk.

knows that there is a banquet in the world, but it is still difficult to eliminate the loneliness of people's hearts.

It's like nine dishes and one soup on this table.

In life, it is impossible for everything to go well, there is always a regret thing, perfect and perfect, there must be a shortage.

But for the Zen Neng Mage, this is not perfect.

He promised Jin An that he would help Jin An investigate clues about the ghost fetus.

Now he kept his promise and fulfilled his promise that day.

A lifetime of reputation.

Save.

did not lose his integrity, and his old age was not guaranteed.

So I have no regrets.

Rice with two chopsticks, this is the rice of the dead, Master Shanneng has passed away, and tonight is a wisp of his obsession to go to the appointment to fulfill the promise promised that day.

Perhaps Venerable Shanneng's death is related to the physical body Buddha case.

But in the end, the Zenneng mage did not explain the cause of his death.

Jin An looked up at the full moon above his head, why did the moon above his head only round when people were leaving? Is this because the gods and Buddhas are too far away from the world, and they can no longer see the suffering of the people?

Next.

Jin An asked the old Taoist priest to find a brazier, paper money, and paper ingots, and the three of them squatted at the door of the Taoist temple, burning paper money and paper ingots in the direction of Bailong Temple, and saw off the beneficial master and paid tribute.

When the paper money is burned, it is already time.

Jin An returned to the house, but unexpectedly saw a Buddhist incense sachet on his desk, and when he opened the sachet, there was a broken jade inside.

It is the broken jade after the Luo Geng jade plate is broken.

Now Jin An has a total of three broken jade plates of Luo Geng's jade plate.

This is a generous gift from Master Shanneng to Jin An.

The weight of this generous gift.

It was unexpected.

If he hadn't known the origin of Luo Geng's jade plate, Jin An might not have paid so much attention to the senses of these broken jades.

But tonight's candle night talk with Master Shanneng made him fully aware of how precious this Luo Geng jade plate is broken.

"Uncle Shi, Master Shanneng, how can I accept this great gift from you. ”

"Good all the way. ”

This night's Jin An was in a messy mood and had no intention of cultivating.

Unexpectedly, when I saw Master Shanneng again, there was a difference between yin and yang.

Life is impermanent.

......

......

Following.

Early morning.

Today's Jin'an, who had no intention of stealing peaches or apples, came to the coffin shop opposite the Taoist temple empty-handed.

At this time, a new day of construction began in the Five Organs Taoist Temple, and the masons, carpenters and stonemasons were in full swing to continue to build the Five Organs Taoist Temple.

According to the construction period, it will be completed in about ten days.

It could have been completed a few days earlier, mainly because Jin An added a new hall of merit to the Five Organs Taoist Temple to erect a human statue for the Five Organs Taoist and the Jade Wanderer, so it was postponed for a few more days.

"What's the matter? Daoist Jin An is in a bad mood today?" Uncle Lin folded paper money in the coffin shop, looked at Jin An who walked into the store, and saw at a glance that Jin An was in a bad mood today.

Jin An nodded: "Uncle Lin, I came today to ask about something." ”

Uncle Lin's movement of folding paper money in his hand did not stop, practice makes perfect and quickly folded the paper money, and looked at Jin An suspiciously while folding the paper money: "What's the matter?"

"Uncle Lin, I don't know if you know that the good ability mage of the White Dragon Temple has passed away?" Jin An said.

"Master Shanneng has passed away?" Uncle Lin looked at Jin An in surprise.

"Where did you hear this from Daoist Jin'an, is this true?

"Master Shanneng is a highly prestigious monk in Bailong Temple, if Master Shanneng passes away, Bailong Temple should have a notice to the temples of Wuzhou Mansion, I really haven't heard anyone talk about such a big thing. ”

"Of course, it is also possible that Master Shanneng has just passed away, and the White Dragon Temple has not had time to notify the monasteries. ”

Jin An was silent.

That's what worries him the most.

"Last night was the night of Master Shanneng's first seven souls, and Master Shanneng came to the Five Visceral Taoist Temple to find me. ”

Next, Jin An roughly told Uncle Lin what happened last night.

The first seven soul nights.

It has been seven days since Venerable Shanneng passed away.

"Master Shanneng is a well-known monk in the White Dragon Temple, Master Shanneng has passed away for seven days, and the White Dragon Temple has been calm recently, why hide this?"

Uncle Lin's problem is also a problem that Jin An can't figure out.

But because the matter of the physical Buddha is related to the reputation of Buddhism, Jin An is not easy to mention to Uncle Lin, so he can only stuff this matter in his stomach.

Is there something wrong inside the White Dragon Temple?

Or is there a problem with the body of the Buddha? It is a matter of Buddhism's reputation, and the White Dragon Temple does not want to publicize the ugliness of the family, and deliberately downplays the impact of the incident?
