"Fifth Senior Brother, hurry up and say an opening remark! Xu Qingjiang said urgently.

Even Xu Qingjiang was in a hurry, it could be seen that everyone was really hungry, so Liang Qingshan cleared his throat and said:

"There is no opening remark, and there is nothing to talk about, today is the Autumn White Festival, the anniversary of the founding of our Qingyang faction, and also the day of advocacy of 'eliminating the four evils and eliminating the three evils'. The Tao is natural, and morality is natural!"

"Senior brother said it well!" Zhong Qinghuo patted his thigh and said, "We Zhong Twelve love to listen to this kind of talk, people take food as the sky!"

Xu Qingjiang said with a smile: "The three words 'food for the sky' are really not in vain, it turns out to be from the law of morality, the fifth senior brother is clearing the source for you today! Senior brother, tomorrow can you ask the master to write a sign for him and hang it on his chest, which reads: 'The teacher gives the name, and the food is the sky'." ”

Everyone burst into laughter, causing the surrounding disciples to look sideways.

Liang Qingshan feigned anger and said: "You two guys, not only rudely judged my words, but also caused everyone to laugh, what should you be guilty of?"

The two hurriedly arched their hands and said, "Forgive your sins, forgive your sins! You will punish yourself three cups in one moment! Senior brother, you continue." ”

"What did you just say? By the way, what is the meaning of 'open meat', we Qingyang originally had no taboo diet, why did we choose a day to greatly let go of Yiqing? Because the ancestor openly told us in this way: Respecting the head of the Tao is doing good, eliminating evil and not taboo killing. Although there are good thoughts in the six lives, there are evil deeds in the three realms, and it is the duty of our generation to promote good and eliminate evil. Let us remember the ancestral motto of the Qingyang faction, and welcome the young disciples of the Qingtong to climb the mountain and become childlike. Cheers!"

Zhong Qinghuo drank half a cup in one go, and said, "Everyone, first taste the burnt roasted milk I ordered." After that, he cut more than a dozen pieces with a knife, and first picked one for Li Qingtong, Lin Qingxie and Liang Qingshan. "Let's eat it together!"

"It's fragrant and delicious, it melts in your mouth, it's so delicious!" Li Qingtong said sincerely.

Zhong Qinghuo said: "Of course, this Wenfu is a rare beast on the easternmost mountains of the Jingshan Mountain Range, with a body like a pig, a golden body, and the two parts of the head and tail are as white as snow, but once it appears, it will be a disaster." Therefore, the locals regard it as the first of the 'four evils', and they hunt it around, but they find that its meat is soft and charred after roasting, especially this milk smells phosphine, which melts in the mouth, is fragrant and tender, and becomes a beautiful meal for the world. ”

Xu Qingjiang said: "After you have tasted the food of 'food for the sky', it's time to try the lightly fried snipe like meat I ordered." Come on, one piece for each person!" everyone chewed with chopsticks.

"Senior Brother Qingtong, Senior Sister Qingxie, what do you think?" Xu Qingjiang said.

"The fragrance is not greasy! Lin Qingxie said.

"It's really as the little sister Qingxie said. Li Qingtong said.

Xu Qingjiang said: "This is also a kind of beast in the central Jingshan area, from Yidi Mountain, shaped like a mole, it is said that where this beast appears, there will be wars and wars." Therefore, it is listed as the first of the 'three evils'. But its meat is delicate, and it is a delicacy that is very popular among us Mannanes. ”

Chu Qingtai said: "After tasting the 'pig' and 'rat', it's time to taste the 'chicken' and 'fish'." This is the one I chose for Little Sixteen, the Fruit Wood Roasted Hook. ”

"I'll eat first, I'll eat first! My favorite!" Lin Qingxie said as he took a thin slice of the blade and put it in his mouth, and suddenly remembered that something was wrong, and hurriedly said to Li Qingtong. "I'm sorry junior brother, you are a guest today, I should invite you to eat first!"

After all, Li Qingtong is a newcomer, and he still can't let go, so he doesn't have to let go of it in normal times. At this time, he said: "Little senior sister, you taste it first, I'll come here, senior brothers, please." So they all cut off a thin slice and put it in their mouths.

Chu Qingtai said: "Try my steamed small thin fish again." Brother Qingtong will give you a piece first!"

Everyone took a bite and they all tasted delicious.

Chu Qingtai said: "This thin fish is grown in the gypsum water of the southeast female steamed mountain, very similar to the yellow eel, but it only has one eye, and the cry is like a person vomiting, once it is found there, it indicates that there will be a great drought there, so the locals compete to catch hooks and fish, and it is also listed as one of the 'four pests'." Where's this hook......"

Lin Qingxie hurriedly said: "The hook is a kind of bird on the anvil mountain, the body is like a dog, the tail is like a mouse, good at climbing trees, once it appears, there will be a plague, it is the fierce bird among the 'three evils'." ”

Liang Qingshan said: "Sixth, let's talk about your dishes." ”

Ma Qinghe said indifferently: "My dishes are average, and the eyes of the juniors and disciples can't look at it!"

Zhong Qinghuo said: "Sixth Senior Brother, the main thing is that your dishes are dry when you look at them, except for bones or bones, you have no appetite. ”

Ma Qinghe said: "The food can't be disguised, the sea water can't be measured, and my smoked three things are really the three treasures of the dragon and nephew." What is the dragon nephew? The dragon nephew is a strange beast on the mountain in the east of our country, its body is like a fox, but it has nine tails and nine heads, its claws are like a tiger, it roars like a baby crying, its sex is cunning and fierce, it is a kind of man-eating beast. It is actually the first of the 'three evils'. Its head is good for gall and can strengthen people's courage, its tail is good for the heart, can understand people's minds, and is resourceful, and its claws are sharp and strong, and it is still good for people who practice martial arts to eat. Therefore, these three things of dragon and nephew are really the three treasures of nourishment, if you don't like to eat them, I will have them alone. ”

Xu Qingjiang said: "How can good things be enjoyed by one person!" After saying that, he took a knife and slipped a bunch of small meat from the beast's head and legs. "Here, everyone, try it!"

Ma Qinghe asked, "How does it taste?"

Li Qingtong said: "There is indeed a strange fragrance that I have never tasted!"

Liang Qingshan said: "Sixth, why does it smell like a fox?"

The crowd laughed. But it's still very fragrant, and I can't help but eat it again. But Chu Qingtai and Lin Qingxie stopped touching it after the first sip.

Liang Qingshan said: "I didn't taste the two dishes I chose, right? My armadillo, is a kind of strange beast on the eastern Yu'e Mountain, the body is like a rabbit, but it has a bird-like beak, eyes like an owl, and a tail like a long snake. I chose this braised armadillo meat, and the taste is one word: 'fragrant'. ”

After everyone tasted it, it was indeed full of fragrance and long aftertaste.

Liang Qingshan said: "This sauce stuffy meat is what I chose for my younger brother." This husband is a kind of beast on the central Ao'an Mountain, the body is like a white deer, with four horns, once it appears, there will be floods in the cities there, which is a typical 'four evils'. But its flesh is as delicate as a fish and as fragrant as a beast, and it is the best in the world!

Li Qingtong said happily: "This is my dish!

Although it is forbidden to eat meat and drink alcohol on Qingyang Mountain, there are not many opportunities to let go of eating meat and be accompanied by wine, and there are only a handful of three or two times a year. Everyone ate and drank happily, the meat and wine entered the intestines, the mind speculated, the words became more and more, and the voices became louder and louder, and later there was a taste of happy life.

"Do you think that our ancestor chose the day of the Autumn White Festival, on this Qingyang Mountain, to open the mountain and create a school? What is his old man's heart? What is the purpose?" Liang Qingshan asked.

"Evangelism!"

"Qi refining and cultivating truth!"

"Teach martial arts!"

"Alchemy saves people!"

"Saving people's fairy fate!"

......

There was a lot of talking.

Liang Qingshan said loudly: "These are all right, but they are not very right. These are just small goals that his old man wants to achieve, but they are by no means the ultimate goal, and they are not the root of his heart. ”

"Old Five, if you say no, you don't? Then what do you say?" Ma Qinghe asked loudly.

Among the juniors and disciples, only he, Ma Qinghe, dared to call Liang Qingshan "the fifth old". But he is not usually like this, he is also called "Fifth Senior Brother" or "Senior Brother Qingshan", and he is usually a taciturn and soft-spoken person, so it can be seen that he is also drunk today.

"I said no, it wasn't!" Liang Qingshan was really a little drunk, "Why do you say that? Do you remember the two sentences I said just before eating? Why did the master and ancestor? Why did Qingyang Zhenren want to hold such a 'meat festival'? Why didn't he do something about the 'forbidden meat festival' and 'Eid al-Fitr'? I think he was asking us to kill the 'four evils and three evils' and let us eat the 'four evils and three evils', because the master wanted to tell us in this way: Respecting the head of the Tao is doing good, eliminating evil and not taboo killing. Although there are good thoughts in the six lives, there are evil deeds in the three realms, and it is the duty of our generation to promote good and eliminate evil. The reason for preaching and teaching the Dharma and practicing martial arts in the world is that the world has never been peaceful; Holding the head of state, vegetarian Bigu, has never been the purpose of our cultivation, it is just the way that the cultivators choose, so, everyone, don't stay away from the world by cultivating the truth!"

"Well said, Old Five!" Ma Qinghe exclaimed, "I know why you are so smart, because I know your past life." ”

Everyone was stunned, silent for a while, and all turned their eyes to Ma Qinghe.

"What was my past life?" Liang Qingshan was also blindsided by his words, and hurriedly asked.

"Your previous life was a worm!" Ma Qinghe said solemnly, word by word.

"Sixth, why do you say that my previous life was a worm?" Liang Qingshan tilted his head and stared at him angrily.

"Yes, your previous life was a worm! It was a worm in the stomach of the ancestor Qingyang Zhenren!"

"Hahaha!" Liang Qingshan laughed out loud after hearing this, "I wish it was the reincarnation of the green worm in the stomach of my old man! Don't cultivate the truth and go far away from the world!"

Everyone listened quietly, only to feel that the fifth senior brother was eloquent in his words and expressed his heart directly, but he was speechless for a while.

"Don't go far away from the world by cultivating the truth! Fifth Senior Brother said it well! But I still want to say one more sentence. Chu Qingtai said.

"But it's okay to say it!, Fourteenth Senior Brother!" Liang Qingshan said.

Chu Qingtai said loudly: "Don't practice far away from the world. Traveling thousands of miles, chivalrous and righteous, smiling in the sea, happy and hateful, I still remember self-cultivation and self-reflection, and don't practice far away from the world. ”

"Okay! Senior Brother Qingtai said it well! Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement!" Liang Qingshan high-fived.

"But-" Chu Qingtai's bright eyes stared at Liang Qingshan, and his words turned around, "However, in the world of food and drink, there are six desires and seven emotions, and the child is born with feelings, who said that he is too forgetful? ”

"Don't go far from the world by cultivating the truth, and don't practice far away from the world. The clouds and flowing water are intentional, and the Tao is naturally self-generated. Liang Qingshan muttered.

Lunch is over, and it's almost time.

Chu Qingtai didn't drink much, so he took Lin Qingxie to other scenic spots in the Ethereal Peak to enjoy the autumn. The remaining five people were full of wine and food, and the lazy sleeping insect was angry, so they walked down the corridor of the dining hall back to the backyard of the "Ceres".

Liang Qingshan introduced him as he walked: "The registered disciples of the Qingyang Sect do not distinguish between peaks and veins, and they usually practice and cultivate the truth at the Ethereal Peak. The Ring Corridor compound you see in the morning is where they live. There is a small courtyard for four disciples of the first and second orders, two people in the third order and one courtyard for the third order, and one courtyard for one person in the fourth order and above the fourth order. Our formal disciples, the four veins of the great sect, have arranged a residence in the Ethereal Peak, basically arranged according to a small courtyard for two people, and the arrangement of utensils and supplies in the indoor courtyard is no different from that of the registered disciples, all follow the principle of simplicity and practicality, just our sixteen or seven people, at present, are all arranged in a large courtyard, and the courtyard is numbered in a circle from right to left, and the personnel are roughly stationed in the order of entering the mountain. ”

While speaking, I came to the innermost arch on the right side of the backyard, and when I stepped into the arch, the round-shaped courtyard that appeared in front of me was almost the same as what I saw in the morning, long and narrow from east to west, and the circular corridor and the structure inside were like a copy, and there were also sixteen small arches with sixteen small courtyards. The difference is that from east to west, there are rows of dense green bamboos one zhang wide growing in rows, thus adding infinite vitality to the entire courtyard.

Liang Qingshan said: "From the row on the right, the first locked small arch is No. 1, which belongs to the senior brother, and the second senior brother is the second senior brother, and the third senior brother is the third senior brother, and the three courtyards are locked all year round, but people come to clean and clean regularly." ”

Li Qingtong looked up and saw a green wood plaque inlaid on the small arch of No. 1, with three vigorous characters inscribed on it: "Yaocang Pavilion". Looking at No. 2 and No. 3 again, the same Aoki card, the same inscription, in order, is "Yuanhai Palace", "Xia Mulberry Garden".

"The three elder brothers have been very rewarding people since they were children, and they are also very interesting, when they lived here, it was obviously two ordinary brick houses and a small courtyard the size of a palm, but they gave it a meaningful name on a whim, and hung it with a green wood plaque, and the realm was born. So that the later juniors and disciples competed to imitate, although it was later changed to a courtyard for two people, but no matter who lived in first, the first thing was to give the residence a lovely name, and now even the courtyard of the named disciple is the same, which has become a unique scenery on our ethereal peak. This bamboo was also planted by the three elder brothers. Liang Qingshan Road.

"It's really interesting!" Li Qingtong nodded.

"Further in, No. 4 'Shangtianshe' was originally lived by the fourth senior brother, and later the old Shizhou junior brother added in, the fifth 'Shanhe kiln' is my and the sixth brother of the sixth horse, the sixth 'Wanjiang Bitou' is the old Jiuxu junior brother and the old eighty thousand junior brother, and the seventh 'fireworks flying sky' is the twelfth 'food for the sky' and the little fifteenth flower junior brother. The two that turned across were No. 8 and No. 9, one was the water room toilet, and the other was the utensils and utility store. ”

Liang Qingshan introduced as he led them sideways from the right, then turned to the left and walked out along the corridor.

"Turn to the left, first is the room of the senior sisters and sisters, and the first one in it is the tenth 'Qingyao Pavilion', which belongs to the seventh senior sister Jiang and later the eleventh Jiang junior sister. Lined out, No. 11 'Tao Pavilion Wooden Pavilion' is the thirteenth Tao sister and the little pomegranate Qingxie little sister, originally called 'Tao Ran Pavilion', Tao sister saw the 'little pomegranate' come in, saw that she was always homesick, so she changed her name. The twelfth is temporarily empty, reserved for the younger sister in the future. No. 13 'Chu Yuntai' is only Senior Brother Chu at the moment, I have already greeted him just now, he will go back to Meixiangfeng directly in a while, if he doesn't come back today, you will live with Senior Brother Chu on the thirteenth. ”

A group of five people stepped into the No. 13 courtyard. Open the door, there are two rooms inside and outside, each with a bed and a cabinet, a table and a stool, a pot and a basin and other simple daily necessities.

"Senior Brother Chu lives in the inner room, so you can live in the outer room! I've been tired for most of the day, so you can rest first today. Tomorrow I will tell you some of the rules and precepts of this sect and the basic introductory exercises. ”

After Liang Qingshan finished speaking, everyone retreated, and Li Qingtong was indeed tired, fell on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.
