Chapter 41: Distress
The front yard of Nanquan Nunnery is very small and quiet, and there is a small pond under the peach blossom tree.
The water of the pond is slowly flowing from the spring water on the mountain, which is also the origin of the name Nansen-an.
At this time, the lotus flowers in the pond have not yet grown, and the water is very clean and clear.
On the big bluestone on the shore, there is a clothes pestle and a soap horn, and the wooden basin by the pond has floated far away, and there are still a few blue-gray robes stacked inside.
I thought it was the little nun, whose robe had not yet been washed, so she hurried to the morning class.
On the south side of the well, there was still half a bucket of well water that had just been drawn and had not yet been taken away, and even the well ropes were scattered all over the place.
It seems that the little nuns of Nanquan Nunnery are still hairy!
On one side of the courtyard, there is a neat row of meditation rooms, which are used daily for eating food.
The meditation room is built on the mountain wall, the scenery is quite beautiful, and there are terraces on both sides of the meditation room.
Looking over the railing, you can see the gloomy color along the mountain wall, and when you look up, you can see the flying mist that seems to be within reach, as if the nine heavens are close at hand.
The Zen rooms are all made of one-color ancient wood, and the shape of the doors and windows of each Zen room and the window paper are different.
A group of little nuns chattered around, and the owner of the nunnery, who had finished the morning class, came to the courtyard.
The owner of the nunnery, who was surrounded in the middle, was about 40 years old, and there was a lot of silver hair mixed with the green silk in the hat.
The ruddy face has fine wrinkles, round eyes are smiling, kind eyebrows, and looks very friendly.
"Poor Ni, I've seen the Lord of Chaoxia."
Master Nan'an of Nanquan Nunnery, holding the dust whisk, folded his hands and saluted.
"Chaoxia has seen Master Nan'an, but I haven't seen him for a few years, and the mage's complexion has become more and more ruddy."
"Don't come unharmed, the county lord!"
To tell the truth, Master Nan'an is also quite a big deal with Qi Luo.
After all, the nunnery is used to being comfortable, although Master Nan'an also raises a lot of little nuns.
But it is rare to be as naughty as Qi Luo like this.
Master Nan'an is different from Qi Luo's master, Master Minghui, and is a true enlightened master.
It has always been famous for purifying sentient beings and saving the world.
The money earned by Nanquan Nunnery on vegetarian food was also used by Master Nan'an to help the poor people and support those children and beggars.
Many of the little girls in the village who were not wanted by the villagers were also picked up by the mage.
From the little nuns who are frizzy and frizzy, but eat with round faces, it can be seen that Master Nan'an must be a charitable and affectionate person.
"A few donors, please go to the temple with the poor nuns to rest for a while."
Master Nan'an has been the head of the nunnery for more than ten years. In the past ten years, there have been dozens of little nuns who have been picked up by Master Nan'an.
Fortunately, Nanquan Zhai's vegetarian food is quite famous, otherwise it would not be able to support these little nuns just by relying on incense offerings.
Qi Luo and the others rested in the hall for a while, and then stayed until lunchtime.
There were two quite naughty little nuns, jumping up and down and leading a few people to the meditation room.
Nansen-an's food is outstanding.
Straw mushroom tofu soup, eight-treasure bamboo shoots, ginkgo vegetarian chicken, ten mixed stewed vegetables, vegetarian steamed sprouts, mushroom soup............... All of them are the specialties of the nunnery.
In particular, the assorted stewed vegetables are cut into thick strips of white radish, finely carved into openwork, and then the daylily is stuffed into it; Crush the carrots and starch them into pea-sized balls; Shiitake mushrooms cut into hair-thick shreds; It is made by braising ten kinds of vegetables such as matsutake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and tofu sliced into thin slices, and it stands out in terms of color and taste.
It's really amazing to be able to do vegetarian food to such an extent!
After eating the food, Qiu Yue accompanied Qi Luo alone to the clean room, which was on the side of the courtyard.
On the way back from the clean room along the terrace, a sudden sound came from a meditation room passing by.
"Lord Wang, this time your goods, the quantity is not much!" The speaker was a middle-aged man with a Beijing accent.
Qi Luo was taken aback, this voice is so familiar! Isn't this the voice of Master Chen in the cave that day?
Previously, Qi Luotuo's uncle Shen Zhou, an official in the capital surnamed Chen, had never received any news.
I don't want to have this chance today.
Qi Luo made a boo gesture to Qiu Yue, and quietly stopped in front of the door of the meditation room.
"Lord Chen, the quality of the goods you gave me this time is very average. If you do this, how will you do business in the future? ”
The man known as Lord Wang, with a clumsy accent, sounded a little older.
"Lord Wang, you are so tormenting me, you are all a regular customer, we have selected thousands of your goods, how can it be of poor quality.
But don't you, you're still holding other people's goods! Otherwise, with the situation of your goods, the last time you took it, it was only 40%. Master Cheng sounded very dissatisfied.
"Lord Chen, you are too worried. If you have this time to think about this, you might as well spend more effort to control the quality of good goods, and you don't have to worry about this sales volume! ”
"Bang Bang ...............!"
Everyone was shocked.
At this time, there happened to be a cat running over, Nanquan Zhai's cat, eating is very fat and clumsy, when jumping to the windowsill of the meditation room, the cat rolled down directly and fell on the floor.
"Who is it?"
A guard armed with a long sword immediately kicked open the door of the meditation room from inside the meditation room.
Several people looked at Qi Luo and Qiu Yue standing at the door for a moment.
A middle-aged man in a blue shirt with a Beijing accent waved his hand.
"Kill her!"
With a wave of the guard's long sword, Qiu Yue hurriedly pounced, but was slapped to the ground by the guard.
The tip of the guard's sword pointed directly at Qi Luo, who hurriedly took a step back.
The moment he looked at the middle-aged man in the blue shirt, his back waist hit the railing and fell directly towards the bottom of the mountain.
In the meditation room not far away, several secret guards and sons in cyan brocade robes had already flown out, flying towards here.
And the boy in the blue brocade robe jumped directly towards the place where the girl in white shirt had just fallen............
