Chapter 56: The Little Monk on the River
When I arrived in the wing room on the west side, the lonely layman said: "Please sit on the lotus platform, wait for me for a while, I will show my cooking skills, and then have a glass of wine, and officially hand over the two little friends, please!" ”
Princess Jianing and Zhuge Yue saw the lotus platform. The lotus platform is just the shape of a stone lotus branch and a calyx, and the stone is a common mountain stone, and the workmanship is slightly fine. Zhuge Yue looked at it, and the flower branches seemed to be deeply embedded in the wall, and there was nothing new about it.
Princess Jianing slowly walked onto the lotus platform, and there were four sets of mats facing each other in the calyx. She sat down and saw the solitary layman busy.
The solitary layman was by the stove, and he stretched out his hand and pulled over a flower leaf, which was the same as that in the guest room. The leaves flowed out with a bang, and he pulled the pots and pans over, and stretched out his hand as if to wipe it, and the messy household was like a yard in the blink of an eye. After the water rushes over, everything is spotlessly clean.
Pushing away the household goods, he stretched out his hand to the window, and the bamboo basket in the living room flew in, turned over his hand to rinse the green vegetables he had selected before, and replaced the knife with his hand, it seemed to be another time, and then he cut it neatly, put it in the pot and stir-fried it. While frying the pot, it was as if the pot was divided into several strips, and each time it turned, one flickered. The white vapor is steaming, and the aroma comes out.
Take out a plate and put it on, without damaging the green leaves, and there is no oil star, etc., is it authentic? The plate flew out on its own and landed on the table in the middle of the calyx.
Princess Jianing sniffed it and said: "Wonderful, interesting, colorful, fragrant, taste, everything is available, Zhuge Gongzi you should learn from Mr., when I am short of food, you will also show your hand." ”
Zhuge Yue had already sat down. He said: "Don't talk about anything else, just talk about washing vegetables, where can I get such wonderful flowers?" So I can't learn it. ”
Princess Jianing said, "You can ask the students for one and carry it on your back." ”
Zhuge Yue was stunned for a moment, looking at the smiling lonely layman.
The solitary layman sat down and said, "The topography and growth methods of the mountains and rivers in our continent and the outer continent are different, even if I give Zhuge Gongzi a plant, it will be in vain, it is better to eat comfortably now." ”
Princess Jianing looked at the table, and then at the solitary layman. The solitary layman smiled and said, "If you want to make friends, drink first, you see!" ”
The solitary layman took out three cups from the calyx, cups with a white jade luster. He said, "Coincidence or not? I only have three cups! ”
The solitary layman gave the cup to Princess Jianing and Zhuge Yue, and pulled it on the petals behind him. The piece of flower seemed to grow suddenly, and with a rattle from the tip of the leaf, it filled one cup and connected three cups.
The lonely layman looked at Princess Jianing, smiled again, and said, "There is wine and no meat, and life is not enjoyable!" Then he took out a bird and a fish from under the stone table in front of him, and placed them on the table.
The lonely layman looked at Princess Jianing again, and said, "If you don't drink soup when you eat, your stomach and intestines are hurt, please ask Zhuge Gongzi." ”
Zhuge Yuexue was alone, took out a clay pot of soup from the table in front of him, and placed it on the table.
Princess Jianing smiled. The solitary layman also smiled, picked up the wine glass, and said: "For more than 40 years, I have no friends, today the two little friends visited together, I am in a good mood, the two can be described as a good couple, heaven and earth, the world is vast, the sea of people is vast, this is not goodbye, I hope you can often come to visit, I should be grateful!" ”
The solitary layman was sad in his pleasure, and he was happy in his sadness, and he drank a glass of wine after speaking. Princess Jianing said: "Mr. does not abandon the two of us vulgar, there is a desire to make friends, we understand in our hearts, although we are far apart, I will also miss Mr., with Mr., I will wait for this, there will be a day to get together." ”
Princess Jianing drank it all. Zhuge Yue blushed and said: "I saw the charm of Mr., and I was overwhelmed, so I can meet in the future and learn from my teacher." ”
Zhuge Yue was just about to drink, Princess Jianing said: "As for whether the two of us are good couples, it depends on his creation and my creation!" ”
Zhuge Yue smiled again and drank the wine in his cup. The lonely layman said, "Okay, please!" ”
The dishes on the table could only be put into her mouth for two or three bites, and Princess Jianing saw that the lotus platform gave birth to emerald green leaves, white lotus flowers, light yellow stamens, and the lotus platform was turning rapidly. Looking at the rotation of the lotus platform, there seems to be a feeling of dizziness, and the feeling of dizziness is suddenly strong, and it is even unbearable.
The solitary layman is smiling, smiling quietly. Princess Jianing and Zhuge Yue fainted at the same time.
When they woke up again, Princess Jianing and Zhuge Yue had already arrived at the foot of the Great Spirit Temple on the Ethereal Continent. Zhuge Yue touched his head and said, "What does this mean?" How did you come to the Ethereal Continent? ”
Princess Jianing saw the top of the red-walled temple in the deep mountains, and said, "When you come, don't think about being alone anymore, find a place to rest for a while, and then go in after dark!" ”
Zhuge Yue looked around, pointed to a small boat on the river, and said, "No one should pay attention there, give that person some more silver taels, I think he will definitely let us rest for a while." ”
Princess Jianing looked at the people on the boat who were flipping through the books, and said, "Okay! ”
Princess Jianing and Zhuge Yue got to the boat after a few ups and downs, and when they landed on the boat, the boat did not move at all. The reader did not speak, and the hat on his head did not move.
Zhuge Yue stepped forward and said, "Brother, can we borrow the cabin for a rest?" ”
The man laughed softly: "Uninvited, it seems that we have a good fate, please two of you!" ”
There is not much space in the cabin, and the furnishings are extremely simple, but there is an indescribable elegance. Princess Jianing sat down and said, "I'm hungry!" ”
Zhuge Yue smiled and thought: You should be hungry, that gentleman only gave a glass of wine and a few mouthfuls of food, who is not hungry? He took the silver curse and other objects from his big back pocket, and the scholar said: "Running from a long distance, the stomach is on fire, and it is not suitable to eat hot food, if the two of you don't dislike it, I have some food in the bamboo basket to share with the two!" ”
Princess Jianing turned sideways and opened the bamboo basket and took out four plates of side dishes. The side dishes are bright in color and fragrant under the afterglow of the setting sun. The river under the boat is flowing loudly, which is very pleasant to the ear, and the color and taste of the boat reflect the taste, which is so comfortable.
Zhuge Yue took out two pairs of chopsticks and gave a pair to Princess Jianing, Princess Jianing tasted a few bites of side dishes and said, "Wonderful!" Wouldn't it be better for the little master to share it together? ”
Zhuge Yue was stunned for a moment, and the scholar Lang laughed and said, "The princess is really good eyesight." ”
The scholar took off his hat, showed his bare head, walked in and sat down with a smile, and said, "How does the princess know that I am a monk?" ”
Zhuge Yue was also looking at Princess Jianing, and Princess Jianing said: "The bamboo basket is full of vegetarian food, there is a faint smell of incense and candles in the boat, you are gentle and elegant, your hands are white and tender, not as rough as a fisherman, I don't know that you are a monk, isn't it a joke?" ”
The monk raised one hand and said, "Amitabha, is it any wonder that Princess Jianing can track down a major case of disobedience from a trivial matter?" The little monk really admires! ”
Zhuge Yue said: "Since the princess has long seen that the fisherman is a monk, she is not afraid that this dish is poisonous?" ”
Princess Jianing said: "Prince Zhuge is really smart, and he was confused for a while!" Daling Temple has just suffered a catastrophe, if this little master is a monk of Daling Temple, I am afraid that he would have run away without a trace, or hidden, Daling Temple is the second largest temple in Shaolin, and it has just been destroyed, so this master must have been sent by Shaolin, it must be a monk sent by Shaolin, and the monk still needs to poison people he doesn't know? ”
Zhuge Yue patted his head and said, "I'm so stupid!" The cabin is so elegant, how can a murderer furnish it? ”
The monk is not as tall as Zhuge Yue, but he is very well-proportioned, his face is as white and tender as water tofu, his black eyebrows are of moderate length, and his delicate eyes are always quiet, and he said: "I am an unknown monk in Shaolin, and my name is dust." ”
Zhuge Yue took out the pot, there was water in the pot, boiled it with yellow sheep wax, and put the tea leaves in the cup, and after the water turned over the flowers, it was brewed into the cup, and the fragrance of tea immediately wafted into the cabin.
Zhuge Yue said: "Master Lichen, please!" ”
Lichen took a sip and said: "Good tea, this tea has a soft aroma, floating but not scattering, lasting and not strong, just like Zhuge Gongzi!" ”
Princess Jianing smiled and said, "Master Lichen has a quiet demeanor, Confucian but not sour, he must be a generation of monks in the future, but I don't know how many days I have been here?" ”
Lichen said: "The little monk has been here for less than nine days. ”
Princess Jianing said: "Are there unusual people in Daling Temple who are active here?" ”
"No, no one is active day or night. ”
Princess Jianing said: "Prince Zhuge Gongzi, we have come to the right place!" ”
Zhuge Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Since we have come to the right place, and Master Lichen has visited the temple again, will they have been prepared in advance?" ”
Princess Jianing pointed to the coarse linen monk's robe on Chen's body and said, "No, Master Lichen must have entered the temple dressed as a fisherman, and he will definitely carry some valuable items to cover up when he comes out, right?" ”
Lichen said: "Nothing can escape the eyes of the princess!" ”
Zhuge Yue poured boiling water into the teacup in front of Princess Jianing, who put down the chopsticks, and said, "The Daling Temple is empty now, I really can't figure out what else to pay attention to here." ”
Princess Jianing took a sip of tea and said, "When the time comes, I am afraid that Zhuge Gongzi will be scared and his legs will be weak, and he will always shout God!" ”
Zhuge Yue also smiled, and let out a lamenting voice: "I really don't want to meet those fierce beasts anymore!" ”
Lichen smiled and said, "Zhuge Gongzi doesn't have to worry about it, everything in the world is just an illusion, but it is presented in a different way." ”
Night has come, and the sound of the river flowing is more poetic.
Princess Jianing looked at Zhuge Yue, whose eyelids were fighting, and said with a smile: "Zhuge Gongzi can't sleep, you have to think about how we can resolve the beasts and poisonous insects everywhere in the dark room built of stones underground." ”
Zhuge Yue was shocked and said, "Do you really want me to deal with those disgusting things?" ”
Princess Jianing closed her eyes slightly, did not squeak, and nodded slightly.
Lichen said: "The Zhuge family is proficient in the art of wood and stone, so to destroy the world built underground in the Daling Temple, there must be Lao Zhuge Gongzi!" ”
Zhuge Yue took a sip of tea, changed his sitting posture, and said, "Okay, let me think about it." ”
Princess Jianing seemed to see Zhuge Yue's embarrassment, and smiled, but she had her own calculations in her heart.
Zhuge Yue thought for a while, and suddenly said, "The Great Spirit Temple is so big, where do we start?" ”
Princess Jianing said, "Of course, it's the hut where Master Empty Dust passed away. ”
Zhuge Yue said: "Why? ”
Princess Jianing opened her eyes and said softly: "That house is relatively quiet, far away from the meditation room of the main hall, he can enjoy the beauty picture there alone, it must be only he has been there, and very few people, not even other people have entered, so no one will know how many things are hidden in the ground there." ”
Zhuge Yue smiled admiringly and said, "It makes sense, in this way, Master Kongchen must know the devil world under the house?" ”
Princess Jianing said: "He doesn't know, he is immersed in lovesickness and can't extricate himself, I'm afraid he doesn't know that he has been used by the beauty who thinks about it." ”
Lichen sighed lightly and said, "It's a pity that the generation of master Kongchen is a promising monk, and he hasn't stepped out of the red dust for half a step!" ”
Princess Jianing walked out of the cabin, tiptoed a little to the boat, floated up, like a fairy in the world, fell to the river, and walked towards the Great Spirit Temple.
Zhuge Yue put his big back pocket on his back and said, "Master Chen, let's go together?" ”
Lichen smiled, stretched out his hand, and motioned to Zhuge Yue to lead the way. Zhuge Yue jumped to the river, caught up with Princess Jianing with Chen, and the three of them disappeared into the night.
The night grew thicker, as if the darkness could unconsciously erase everything in the world.
