Volume 1 Above the Temple Chapter 45 Taoist Priests, Monks, and Friends
When Mu Qiuhuang entered the tent with the Qingya Daoren, the iron pot was still boiling, and the bright red and spicy soup was as bright as blood from time to time tumbling peppercorns and fat intestines, and the big bones left in the bottom of the pot were looming in the red soup.
Qingya Daoren looked at the big iron pot and swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and looked at Mu Qiuhuang.
Mu Qiuhuang looked at the appearance of Qingya Daoren, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, and hurriedly ordered someone to add a piece of chopsticks to him...... Qingya Daoist looked really hungry, directly picked up a piece of meat bone from the pot and gnawed it with his hand, although he was burned by the meat and bones and opened his mouth, but he was still reluctant to spit out the meat, and in the blink of an eye, Qingya Daoist gnawed the fist-sized meat and bone cleanly, and then saw Qingya Daoist open his mouth wide, staring at the pot without blinking.
Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but laugh when he saw him, and quipped: "Eat slowly on a donkey, don't worry, I have already instructed the cook to cut meat for you......"
Qingya Daoist looked at Mu Qiuhuang, picked up the wine jug on the table and drank it all.
"Taoists have a good amount of wine."
Although Ling Hu Ji had just slapped the Qingya Daoist and lost the upper hand, at this time, he saw the Qingya Daoist eating meat and drinking wine...... It's not like an ordinary Taoist at all, and I can't help but look at it impressed.
A pot of wine went down, and the Qingya Daoist breathed a sigh of relief, and then shouted: "Spicy!" It's spicy! It's numb and spicy......"
Everyone laughed when they saw this, and Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but smile and explained: "This is natural, this chili pepper is a well-known spicy dead cow, and this thing at the bottom of the pot is originally more and more flavorful the more it is cooked, and the more it is cooked, the spicier it becomes." ”
Qingya Daoist didn't care to listen to Mu Qiuhuang's words, although he shouted spicy hands, he was busy, putting the duck intestines, yellow throat, and meat slices on the table...... They were all poured into the pot, and before they had time to wait for the red soup to boil, they picked up the chopsticks and fished them non-stop...... Seeing his appearance, everyone also stopped laughing and became dumbfounded.
Seeing that the Qingya Daoist had finished eating all the ingredients in the pot he had just cooked, Ling Hu Ji smiled at the Qingya Daoist, and said with pride: "Daoist, have you never eaten enough on the mountain?" Compared with you, I Linghu's eating posture can be regarded as chewing slowly. ”
Qingya Daoist looked at Ling Hujie and explained embarrassedly: "Xiaodao is really hungry, which makes the general laugh. ”
Linghu laughed and said: "It's okay, the more you look like this, the more I like it, your true temperament is much more pleasing than those hypocritical Taoists, today I am already full of wine and food, wait for the next meal, let's compare well, see who we can eat better?" ”
"Okay, wait until the next meal to compare with the general." Qingya Daoist nodded in response.
Mu Qiuhuang saw that the two of them were meeting to compare the amount of food, and knew that the two were looking for a solution to the misunderstanding just now, so he smiled slightly, "Donkey raiser, when I invited you down the mountain before, didn't you want to?" Why did you suddenly regret it again? ”
Hearing Mu Qiuhuang's words, Qingya Daoist looked at Mu Qiuhuang and Wuxin with a look of grievance: "The master's fate is difficult to disobey, the master let the trail go down the mountain for three years, and the trail is not allowed to return to Wudang Mountain within three years." ”
"Three years?" Mu Qiuhuang muttered in a low voice, as if thoughtful.
"Amitabha, that's great."
Wuxin said with a happy face: "The little monk once promised to be a scholar for the donor for ten years, but he is worried that he will not have time to comprehend Buddhism within ten years...... In the future, if there is a Taoist brother to accompany him, the little monk can learn with the Taoist brother. ”
"Little monk, have you learned badly?" Mu Qiuhuang looked at Wuxin leisurely.
The tent was lifted from the outside, and I saw that the soldiers were carrying a large pot full of raw cut mutton slices.
Seeing the meat slices on the table, Qingya Daoist instantly lost the meaning of chatting with Mu Qiuhuang, and directly took the meat slices and poured them into the iron pot.
Ling Hu Ji touched his big bald head, stood up and said to Mu Qiuhuang: "Young master, you eat slowly, I'll go and inspect the barracks, and by the way, I will ask someone to bring you some wine." ”
"Okay, there's Brother Lao Linghu."
After Ling Hu Ji went out, Mu Qiuhuang and Wuxin didn't speak, and the two of them watched Qingya Dao people eat directly...... In the quiet tent, only the crackling of firewood at the bottom of the pot, the sound of boiling red soup, the occasional clinking of dishes and chopsticks, and the chewing sound of Qingya Daoist people can be heard.
I don't know how long it took, and the Qingya Daoist finally put down the dishes and chopsticks.
"Finished eating?" Mu Qiuhuang looked at Qingya Daoren and smiled.
Qingya Daoist wiped his mouth, looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a satisfied face and replied, "Thank you Your Highness for your hospitality." ”
"You're welcome, you're so polite...... Donkey raisers, don't worry, you only need to follow me for the past three years, and I promise you a good meal of wine and meat...... Eat well, drink well. Mu Qiuhuang patted his chest and reassured, looking at Qingya Daoren with a happy face, thinking about how to keep it by his side.
Although Mu Qiuhuang does not have an exact understanding of the strength of the Qingya Dao people, Mu Qiuhuang knows the strength of Ling Hu Ji very clearly...... is such a peerless fierce general, he was actually vigilant when he fought with the Qingya Dao people before, which can only show that the Qingya Dao people are not weaker than him...... If you keep the Qingya Dao people by your side, you are afraid that your safety factor will increase a lot, think about it in the future, there are no intentions on the left and Qingya on the right, as long as you don't meet the kind of madman like the Sword Fairy again, I am afraid that anyone will have to think about it before they are unfavorable to themselves, and at the same time offend the two families of Buddhism and Taoism and the Beiyu Marquis Mansion...... The more Mu Qiuhuang thought about it, the happier she became, and at this time, she looked at Wuxin and Qingya, revealing the kindness of the old hen when she was protecting her cubs.
After seeing Mu Qiuhuang's smile, he shuddered excitedly, knowing that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World must be holding back something bad.
And Qingya Daoist looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a diligent face, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Mu Qiuhuang looked at Wuxin and Qingya Daoren, and asked with a smile on his face: "Little monk, do you want to eat some more vegetarian food?" If you have anything to say if you have a donkey, you can rest assured, as long as I can do it, it is absolutely incumbent on me. ”
"Thank you, the little monk has already eaten." Wuxin replied with a sympathetic expression.
Seeing that Mu Qiuhuang was so refreshing, Qingya Dao people only guessed what he was thinking, so he said to Mu Qiuhuang with a smile: "Thank you Your Highness, I do have one more thing I want to trouble Your Highness?" ”
"Don't bother, don't bother, don't worry, donkey raiser, your business is my business, although you were beaten by you on Wudang Mountain before, but you also know that this son is not the one who holds grudges, not to mention that I also know that you are here to help me, so it doesn't hurt for you to say it." Mu Qiuhuang's mind was all about leaving Qingya Dao people at this time, and his mouth was naturally very refreshing.
"In that case, I'll just say it directly, can His Royal Highness lend me some money?" Qingya Daoist said embarrassedly.
"Borrowing money? Don't worry, this son has nothing else, but he has a lot of money, how much do you want to borrow, but say a number. Mu Qiuhuang said with great wealth.
Qingya Daoist thought about it seriously, but he was still at a loss, and said carelessly: "Xiaodao doesn't know how much to borrow, why don't you help Xiaodao calculate it, if you travel in the rivers and lakes for three years, how much silver will it cost?" ”
"So that's what it is? Then you don't have to borrow money, just follow Ben Gongzi, even if you eat meat and drink a big bowl, all the expenses are covered by Ben Gongzi, and you don't need to pay a penny. Mu Qiuhuang said boldly.
Seeing that Mu Qiuhuang was so happy with Qingya Daoist at the moment, Wuxin looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a resentful face, and said in his heart: "I am a monk, he is a Taoist priest, why can you be a little monk and be so generous to him?" ”
Mu Qiuhuang noticed Wuxin's expression, looked at Wuxin with a puzzled expression and asked, "Little monk, what's wrong with you?" ”
"The little monk is fine." Wuxin replied.
Mu Qiuhuang said in a calm tone: "Don't look at me like this if you have nothing to do in the future, as if I'm sorry for you?" ”
Mu Qiuhuang knew that Wuxin remembered the past, when Mu Qiuhuang coaxed Wuxin to exchange relics for freedom, and after Wuxin refused at that time, Mu Qiuhuang shouted that he had made a loss-making deal...... Although Wuxin is a son of a Buddha and his cultivation of Buddhism is also very profound, his personality is still a child's habit at his age.
Where did the Qingya Dao people know the past between the two, seeing that Mu Qiuhuang was so refreshing, they were even more impressed by Mu Qiuhuang, so they explained: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has misunderstood, Xiaodao means that Xiaodao wants to travel alone in the rivers and lakes for three years, and wants to borrow the money needed to travel alone in the rivers and lakes for three years from His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
"You're going to travel alone?"
"Yes."
"Why don't you come with Ben Gongzi?"
"Xiaodao doesn't want to go with you."
"Why?"
"The master let the trail go down the mountain in order to be contaminated with the smell of fireworks...... Following His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, there is no smell of fireworks when he comes to eat and stretches out his hand. ”
"You can also make your own fire and cook by following me!" Mu Qiuhuang continued to mess around.
"That's different."
Qingya Daoist replied with a serious face: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Labor helps Xiao Dao calculate, how much will it cost this time?" And then lend it to the trail. ”
"No money." Mu Qiuhuang replied neatly.
Qingya Daoist looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a puzzled expression, and said puzzledly: "How can His Royal Highness the Prince of the World go back on his word?"
"Anyway, if you follow me, I'll eat and live, if you don't want to go with me, I won't ......have the money," Mu Qiuhuang waved his hand and played a scoundrel.
"That being the case, the trail is goodbye." After Qingya Daoren finished speaking, he got up and left.
Seeing the appearance of the Qingya Daoist, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but be puzzled, seeing that the expression of the Qingya Daoist did not seem to be fake, Mu Qiuhuang suddenly remembered that Zhang Fuling had said that the Qingya Daoist was a child...... Thinking of this, Mu Qiuhuang hurriedly grabbed the Qingya Daoist.
"Donkey rider, why are you so boring?" Mu Qiuhuang explained with a dissatisfied face: "I'm joking with you!" As much as I would love to have you come with me, if you don't want to, I won't force you...... If you want to travel the world alone, it's up to you. ”
Mu Qiuhuang took out 10,000 taels of silver tickets from his body and handed them to Qingya Daoist and said: "This money is enough for you to spend for three years, you should be bold to do it, if it is not enough, just trust me with it." ”
Qingya Dao people were a little overwhelmed when they saw Mu Qiuhuang's appearance, although he had no concept of silver money, but he also knew that this ten thousand taels was not a small amount.
"It's too much, Xiaodao is afraid that he can't pay it back?" Qingya Daoist said.
"Donkey rider, who wants you to pay back?" Mu Qiuhuang pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "I treat you as a friend, don't you treat me as a friend?" ”
"Friends?"
Qingya Dao was thoughtful, looked at Mu Qiuhuang and nodded, "His Royal Highness the Prince is Xiaodao's first friend. Then he looked at Wuxin and learned the title of Mu Qiuhuang and said, "Little monk, you are my second friend." ”
"Amitabha, the donor and the Taoist brother are also friends of the little monk." Wuxin said sincerely.
"Haha...... Unexpectedly, one of my two friends was a monk and the other was a Taoist priest. Mu Qiuhuang pretended to be exaggerated, but there was a trace of sincere emotion in his eyes.
