Chapter 109: The Mysterious Holy Light Mage
After Zhike finished speaking, Han Santong nodded slightly, and Su Ruanmei clasped her hands together and said that she had a hard time.
After Zhike left, Han Santong and Su Ruanmei entered the incense room.
"I really don't know what those dignitaries and rich people think, spending a few hundred taels of silver to rent such a useless place."
Regarding Han Santong's complaint, Su Ruanmei covered her mouth and smiled.
"What's the matter, Brother Su thinks I'm not right?"
Han Santong looked at Su Ruanmei very curiously, but Su Ruanmei didn't know how to reply to him.
"It's just that everyone has their own ambitions and interests, since Lord Han doesn't like it here, why don't we change rooms."
When Su Ruanmei said this, Han Santong raised his hand and refused.
"No, the money has been spent, how can there be any reason to return it, even if I say that the money is wronged, I have to experience the life of a dignitary."
Han Santong walked to a futon and sat down, and Su Ruanmei also sat opposite him.
After a while, Zhike asked a few young novices to come in with fasting rice and vegetarian wine.
Han Santong picked up the chopsticks and picked those vegetables, obviously a little bit of finding fault.
"What kind of dishes are these, the clear soup is waterless, and there is no flavoring, and this wine is also bland, what is the difference between it and cold water."
Seeing that Han Santong was complaining, Zhike was also kind and pleasant, and smiled slightly.
"Food is good food, and wine is good wine."
After Zhike finished speaking, Su Ruanmei shook her head with a smile, but Han Santong looked confused.
Su Ruanmei took a piece of white and long things, put it in her mouth and tasted it carefully, not wanting this thing to be matsutake mushrooms.
"Well, this matsutake mushroom is smooth and tender, and it is very delicious in the mouth, because there are not too many condiments, so the original fragrance of matsutake mushrooms spreads around, making people feel fresh and appetizing, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, and I don't know how you make such a delicious meal, master."
For Su Ruanmei's sigh, Zhike smiled and stretched out his thumb again, and said that he understood.
Su Ruanmei said and tasted the vegetarian wine again, and found that this wine was not ordinary cold water, but like nectar coming down from some kind of flower petals, not only slightly sweet, but also bursts of fragrance.
"This wine is also a superb nectar, and it is very complicated to collect and make it, and I don't know what kind of flower it is collected from."
Su Ruanmei asked Zhike very curiously, Zhike hurriedly made a namaste, and then returned to Su Ruanmei very carefully.
"It's a lotus, and it's a small pointed lotus that just bloomed in early spring, the little novice in our temple is not bright in the morning, so I rowed to the lotus pond in the back mountain, and used a bottle made of Hetian jade, collected little by little, and waited until the east day just showed the fish white, and then I had to take it back immediately, and then after hundreds of processes to finally make this golden branch jade dew."
After Zhike finished speaking, he gave a bow to Su Ruanmei.
Han Santong saw that Su Ruanmei and Zhike sang and harmonized, and he became an ornament, so he said very impolitely.
"What kind of matsutake rain and dew, the official likes big fish and meat, so he removed all these and served some meat dishes to the official."
Han Santong said this, and a little novice replied directly.
"Your Royal Highness King Zheng has praised us for our delicious food, but you are picky, you want to eat wine and meat, there are restaurants outside, come to our pure Buddha door to do something."
After Xiao Sha Mi finished speaking, Zhike patted Xiao Sha Mi's bare head and reprimanded him, Han Santong's original arrogance was also much restrained, and at this time, a white-clothed monk standing outside the door walked in with a white prayer bead.
When the acquaintance and the little novices saw the monk, they also bowed respectfully.
When the white-clothed monk approached, Su Ruanmei carefully looked at his figure again, and found that the white-clothed monk was only in his thirties, and he was ethereal and handsome.
"Holy Light Mage."
Zhike called this monk by name, and Han Santong also felt that this monk was different from ordinary monks, so he raised his hand and made a bow to this monk.
"This official often comes to the Great Xiangguo Temple, but he has never seen this master, and he doesn't know where this Holy Light Master comes from."
After Han Santong finished speaking, Zhike wanted to reply for the Holy Light Mage, but he didn't want Su Ruanmei to stand up with her fingers raised.
"Master Shengguang, a person from Jokhang Puling, a monk since childhood, proficient in Buddhism, the most famous for translating Buddhist scriptures, the Ahama Sutra, Pumen Pin, and Yuantong Chapter translated by the Master are all popular versions in later generations, as well as the Master You wrote the Theory of Mass Birth Buddhism, my classmates in college are reciting it backwards, she is your loyal fan."
As soon as Su Ruanmei's words came out, everyone was at a loss, but the Holy Light Mage made a salute to Su Ruanmei with one hand, and said to Su Ruanmei very modestly.
"To be able to get the love of the benefactor's classmates, the poor monk is really overjoyed."
Su Ruanmei was also very surprised by the Holy Light Mage's answer, because this Holy Light Mage seemed to be able to understand her words.
"Master Hengqi, Master Han has a poor monk here to take care of him, you and the other little novices should go out."
After the Holy Light Mage finished speaking, Zhike frowned.
"Mage, you and Lord Shangguan will have a chess game in a while......"
Without waiting for Heng Qi to finish speaking, the Holy Light Mage raised his hand and said.
"Lord Shangguan is here, you just let him go back, just say that the poor monk is a little unwell today, let him come back tomorrow."
Han Santong became a little nervous when he heard this.
"What, Prime Minister Shangguan is coming over later?"
Regarding Han Santong's question, Zhike replied in a tenth.
"This Lord Shangguan is not Lord Shangguan, he is the eldest son of Prime Minister Shangguan, and Lord Mingxiu, the official in the imperial history of the current imperial court."
After Zhike finished speaking, Han Santong not only did not ease his emotions, but fell off the futon in fright.
"Supervising the Imperial ......"
Su Ruanmei helped Han Santong and asked him if he was a little uncomfortable, and Han Santong was a little impatient after saying these four words.
"This official ...... I suddenly felt a little unwell, so I took my leave. ”
After Han Santong finished speaking, he got up and hurriedly left the room, while Su Ruanmei and Zhike were at a loss, but the Holy Light Mage smiled knowingly.
"It's just that mice are afraid of cats."
As he spoke, the Holy Light Master sat down opposite Su Ruanmei again, and made a retreat gesture to Heng Qi and the two little novices.
Su Ruanmei looked at the Holy Light Mage sitting in front of her, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva, thinking that her college best friend was searching for information about the Holy Light Mage on the Internet every day, if she knew that the Holy Light Mage was sitting in front of her at the moment, and she didn't know what kind of feelings and thoughts she would have.
The Holy Light Mage picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass of golden branch nectar for Su Ruanmei, and Su Ruanmei felt a little flattered.
"If you want the mage to serve Su Qiang's meal, wouldn't it be a ruin to the villain."
After Su Ruanmei finished speaking, the Holy Light Mage smiled slightly.
"Why is Miss Su so humble, I think you are a person from outside the world, and the poor monk still deserves to give you a glass of wine." 166 Reading Network
