Chapter 284: Dripping Blood

[Ran^Text^Library] The old monk looked up at the sky, and then said, "Since the two donors have come from afar, why don't you stay in the temple for a light meal, and then stay overnight?" ”

When Twilight heard that the old monk said that he wanted to keep them for dinner, he pursed his lips and said, "Old monk! You're ...... In the wilderness, what delicious food can be made? www。 lwχs520。 com also wants the two of us to stay here ......" "Then the two of us will disturb the master this time!" Chen Qiubai hurriedly said, because Chen Qiubai knew that the old monk must have a purpose in asking them to stay, and he really wanted to see what kind of medicine the old monk was selling in the gourd, so Chen Qiubai agreed to stay without hesitation.

"Hey! Chen Qiubai, even if you want to eat and drink, you don't need to point to this old monk. Don't you know that monks are vegetarians? And this old monk lives in such a dilapidated temple, and there must not be much surplus food. The two of us are young and strong, and we have good appetites, so what should we do if we eat him poor after eating this meal. The girl said with a serious face.

"En......" Chen Qiubai really had nothing to say. Really! This woman can't talk, can't chat! Even if she's telling the truth, she can't say that, it's too direct. Just when Chen Qiubai was speechless, the old monk wiped the beads of sweat from his head, and said to Dusk Yan: "Old monk, I live in this ancient temple in the deep mountains, although I say that life is relatively hard, but I can still afford to invite a friend to have a light meal, and the two donors can rest assured." ”

Chen Qiubai hurriedly said: "That's good, that's good." Then we'll bother the master. Oh! By the way, I haven't asked the master what to call him? Why did he come to this ancient temple in the deep mountains, when he was a monk hidden in the world. ”

The old monk was busy preparing the meal at this time, but he said to Chen Qiubai with a smile: "The poor monk is empty, originally a wandering monk, the four seas are home to no fixed place, and he has traveled all kinds of famous rivers and mountains, as well as all kinds of rivers, lakes and seas. One day, I came here and met this old ruined temple. Seeing that there is no incense in this temple, it is dilapidated, and it is pure and elegant all around, which is exactly what I want. So I cleaned up this broken temple and stayed, and the monk I opened a small open space next to the spring in the middle of the mountain, planted some melons, fruits, vegetables and vegetables, and mostly enjoyed them myself, and occasionally picked some down the mountain to exchange some oil and salt. On weekdays, whenever there is a happy event under the mountain, he will go to help, or chant sutras and recite Buddha, or run errands and do chores, regardless of remuneration, so he gets along with the villagers very easy-going. There is an inn at the head of the town, where villagers often gather at night, or play chess, or chat. Sometimes the monks and I would carry a lantern down the mountain to play chess, and occasionally tell jokes and play muddy. It's just ...... now"

Chen Qiubai saw that the monk of the clear sky stopped talking halfway, so he asked, "What's the matter now?" ”

While lighting a fire and cooking, Jingkong said: "It's just that now, there are wars outside, and the people in the small town outside are running away one by one, but only the old monk and I still live here, and I have no plans to relocate." It's just that I don't know if I can survive for a few years. ”

Dusk Yan hurriedly picked up the old monk's words and said: "Monk, you don't have to stay up for long, now the Mongolian army of one million is besieging Xiangyang, and Xiangyang has been besieged a few years ago, until now several years have passed, and Xiangyang City has been without water and food for some days. I believe that it will not be long before the Mongol army will begin to attack the city, and when the time comes, the jade in Xiangyang City will be burned, and not a single living mouth will want to stay. When the time comes, don't run to Xiangyang City stupidly, you will be killed by the rebels. After saying this, Twilight Yan also glanced at Chen Qiubai with a provocative gaze, as if to warn him! Or maybe it's admonishing him!

Twilight Yan originally thought that Chen Qiubai would definitely refute what she said, but she didn't expect that Chen Qiubai became silent at this time, and she didn't shout loudly to oppose Twilight, but in this way, Twilight Smoke girl was a little incomprehensible. Isn't this Chen Qiubai a heroic warrior who resisted Mongolia? Why doesn't he refute this when he hears his words now?

In fact, Duyan was wrong, Chen Qiubai was not an anti-Mongolian righteous warrior at all, he was just ordered to cross the Divine Cult and came to this world to complete his mission, and his task was to rescue Guo Fu, Guo Xiang, and Guo Po. As for the other world tasks, Chen Qiubai had already given up and didn't have that thought.

At this time, the old monk's rice has been almost cooked, and it will probably simmer for a while before it can be eaten. So the old monk turned back to Twilight and said, "That's that, I just think, whether the Mongols win or the Han win, the most important thing for us is to end this battle as soon as possible, so that the common people can live a happy and stable life." ”

Chen Qiubai didn't expect that this old monk would be so insightful and open-minded. It's just that...... Chen Qiubai himself is because he has a mission, if there is really a slight possibility, he can hold Xiangyang City and drive away the Mongols. Then Chen Qiubai will definitely make a death effort for five million points.

However, as a modern person, he knew that in the current situation, if he wanted to defend Xiangyang City, it was simply a fool's dream, and it was impossible at all. Only characters like Guo Jing and Guo Juxia will regard guarding Xiangyang City as more important than their own lives. Chen Qiubai asked himself if he couldn't do it.

"Oh! When the rice is cooked, the two of them will eat something. It's a simple meal, but it's a good way to fill your stomach! With that, the monk brought up the cooked food and put it on a dilapidated table, and then found a few pairs of chopsticks out of nowhere and distributed them to Chen Qiubai and Duanyan, and then the monk ate it by himself, eating "chirp, chirp", as if these meals were very delicious.

Chen Qiubai looked at the table of simple vegetarian dishes in front of him - a bowl of boiled radish, light and tasteless and the skin has not been peeled clean, a bowl of potatoes, which is still a little rotten, a bowl of fried pickles, without much oil, can be regarded as dry fried, and there is a stack of dried tofu, which can be regarded as the best bowl of dishes, and it looks pretty good.

So Chen Qiubai tasted all the dishes on the table, and then his whole appetite was gone, these dishes were really too unpalatable. However, Chen Qiubai still suppressed the feeling of wanting to scold his mother, smiled and ate again, and said to the old monk again: "Master! Your cooking skills are really top-notch, and the dishes you make are ...... It's really ...... It's so delicious!! After saying this, Chen Qiubai felt that his heart was dripping blood, and he was about to cry.
