After the two followed the monk on a remote mountain road, there was also a solemn sound of bells and drums in front of them, and the number of pedestrians on the mountain road in front of the four began to increase.

The two followed the two monks into the temple, not to go to the middle of the main hall, but from the side courtyard to the back, until the northwest corner of the courtyard of the temple, as soon as Yao Guangqi came in, it was obvious that this is obviously the monks' living meditation room, there is an independent small courtyard in the corner of the courtyard, Yao Guangqi deduced, this should be the abbot's meditation room, the two were taken directly to the courtyard of the courtyard, the two monks who led the way retreated silently.

Judging from the performance of following the monks along the way, Yuan Hui is not only very familiar with the route inside the temple, but also walks directly to the small courtyard when he enters the courtyard.

In front of the door of the courtyard within the courtyard, Yuan Heng didn't knock on the door, pushed the door and entered, and shouted at the top of his voice as soon as he entered: "Great monk, do you have any food?" I am hungry. ”

As soon as Yuan Heng's words fell, he heard someone inside say loudly: "The food comes to open the mouth, the wine and meat penetrate the intestines, and Yuan Jushi is really a person." ”

Before anyone sees it, the sound comes first. After saying this, I saw a tall monk come out of it, this big monk walked up to Yuan Jue Yao Guangqi, and did not see the courtesy, let alone chant the Buddha, but first looked Yao Guangqi up and down, this monk looked very carefully and seriously, and when he looked at it, he made a smacking sound in his mouth, as if he was sighing and surprised.

Yuan Heng said to Yao Guangqi: "This is the abbot of Dinglin Temple, the law name Xiuguang, in this Purple Mountain area, there is nothing he can't do, let's live here for a few days, someone will take care of food and housing." ”

Yao Guangqi just wanted to salute Xiuguang, but unexpectedly, Xiuguang walked in front of Yao Guangqi in one step, stretched out his right arm, and just hugged Yao Guangqi's shoulder, which seemed very intimate. ”

In Yao Guangqi's impression, the abbot master should be kind and kind-eyed, morally profound, well-behaved, dignified and steady, full of Buddhist and Zen witty words, and should be a monk of enlightenment at a glance. But the abbot in front of him completely subverted Yao Guangqi's impression of the abbot, not to mention his tall stature, this monk actually had a horizontal face, so he not only looked unapproachable, but also looked a little vicious. This is not counting, this monk is not very particular about etiquette, not only called Yuan Hui Lao Yuan, met him for the first time, he actually did not say hello or salute, looked at it unscrupulously without saying anything, and then actually hugged his neck and waist to a person who met for the first time, if the person who behaved this way was a person in the market, Yao Guangqi would not feel surprised and uncomfortable, but an abbot showed such behavior, which made people look very awkward.

Yuan Hui was obviously familiar with Xiuguang's set for a long time, and naturally followed behind: "Great monk, did you find the person I asked you to find?" ”

Xiuguang let go of Yao Guangqi, turned around and patted Yuan Heng on the shoulder: "You explained, how dare I not do it, monk, I have already found it, but the donor said that the scenery here is good, and I went out to visit the Qingqing." ”

Yuan Heng smiled when he heard this, turned his head to Yao Guangqi and said: "What's the matter, I didn't brag, I said that I can do it, I can do it, you are also hungry, let's eat, the food in his temple is a local must, and it is difficult for ordinary people to eat." ”

Xiuguang seemed to be accustomed to Yuan Heng's praise, not modest at all, he came to the dining table first, and did not let the two sit down, sat down by himself, and even picked up the chopsticks and ate first: "I'm waiting for you to be hungry, you're welcome, I won't see you outside, if you want to serve the Buddha well, you have to serve your stomach first." ”

Xiuguang's casualness, informality, and freedom of swaying, although he didn't look like a monk at all, but it made Yao Guangqi feel very comfortable, Yao Guangqi didn't feel restrained at all, and sat down calmly, and also picked up chopsticks and chewed heavily.

The rice of Dinglin Temple is indeed delicious, although there is not a wisp of meat, but it is refreshing and sweet, the rice fragrance of glutinous rice, and the fragrance of vegetarian dishes, it makes people have a great appetite, Yao Guangqi actually ate four bowls of rice in one go, and the three of them ate the eight plates of vegetarian dishes on the table in one breath (the disc action is quite in place).

After eating, Xiuguang looked at the empty plate on the table and clasped his hands together: "Good, who knows that the grains on the plate are hard, the farmers work hard, and the crops are not easy. ”

Yao Guangqi looked at Xiuguang with interest, this Xiuguang gave people the feeling, although it was the first time they met, but they were as casual as old friends for many years, not rigid and unpretentious, the more Yao Guangqi came into contact, the more he liked Xiuguang, the monk, he couldn't help but start to joke about this monk: "Master, although the meal is delicious, I haven't had fun with Daoist Yuan yet." Can you have meat in your temple? ”

Hearing Yao Guangqi's words, Yuan Hui couldn't help laughing, turned his head to look at Xiuguang, his eyes were full of banter, and the meaning was very clear: "Look at how your great monk answers." ”

Xiuguang's personality did not match his horizontal flesh at all, and in the face of Yao Guangqi's question, he was not angry at all, but replied very calmly: "Donors and lay families, it is natural not to quit meat. But the great monk is a monk, so he naturally has to abide by the rules and precepts, not to mention that this meal is from the hands of the fire-headed monk of this temple, and the great monk, as the abbot of a temple, naturally can't let the fire-headed monk do meat. But ......" Xiuguang smiled slyly.

Yuan Jue pointed to the monk's nose and said, "The great monk is here again, hurry up and say your but." He turned his head and said to Yao Guangqi: "Pay attention to his but, the focus is on this but." ”

Xiuguang also smiled: "But if you go out to eat meat, remember to bring me some back." ”

After saying this, Xiuguang couldn't hold back at all, and laughed, Yao Guangqi couldn't help it, patted the table and laughed, Yuan Heng was already leaning forward and closing in joy, and for a while, the laughter in the meditation room was deafening.

After laughing, Xiuguang suddenly said with a straight face: "I have something to say here, I have a few wanted fugitives here." My favor is not for nothing, and the meal is not for nothing, I helped, you also ate my meal, you can also do the great monk a favor. And no one else can help with this, so I can't find anyone else, so I can only find you, a fake Taoist. ”
