Chapter Eighty-Three: Master of Pure Heart
This pill is a little fatter than when Zhang Tude last saw it, I heard Li Peng say that the pill has been with Master Qingxin for the past few days, I wonder if the pill can be eaten vegetarian?
Hearing Zhang Tude ask this question, Li Peng on the side said:
"Master Zhang, I saw that Master Qingxin has fed it meat to eat in the past few days."
"Really?" After hearing Li Peng's words, Zhang Tude was a little surprised, he stood up and clapped his hands, and said apologetically:
"This is really embarrassing for Master Qingxin, let him do this as a monk."
"It's nothing, Master Qingxin said that he also eats meat, he is from Zhao Guo, it seems that the rules on his side are different from those of our four monks, monks can eat meat, but they can only eat three pure meat."
Li Peng paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued after thinking about it:
"I seem to have heard Master Qingxin say a few days ago that he used to hide in the mountains with his master, and he really had nothing to eat, and he went hunting himself."
Hiding in the mountains? Could it be that in the Zhao Kingdom, the monks are not welcomed? Zhang Tude didn't know much about Zhao State, except that Zhao State was a neighbor of Siqi and often intruded on the borders of Siqi, he only heard on the road that Zhao State was originally called An He State, and a general rebelled and got the throne before changing the name of the country to Zhao State.
The only time Zhang Tude had contact with the Zhao people was when he was killed by several Zhao soldiers while he was on the border of Siqi.
Before he could continue to ask, Li Peng opened his mouth and added:
"Of course, when there are other things to eat, Master Qingxin will not eat meat, probably because your dog helped him when he was repairing the temple, so he found some meat to feed him."
"Repair the temple? How can a dog help? ”
Li Wu saw that the wooden barrel next to him smelled bad, and said that things were not good in this place, so he came to his younger brother and said to Zhang Tude:
"Master Zhang, why don't we go to your room and talk, by the way, someone will bring you the meal, or you can go to the living room with us to eat, let's talk while walking?"
"I'll go with you to the living room to eat."
Zhang Tude also felt hungry at this time, and an evil cult had just died around his room, and although there was no danger now, he didn't want to eat there.
On the way to the living room, Li Peng, who understood the situation, continued to talk about what had happened in the past few days between Master Qingxin and the pill, and it turned out that Li Peng's father, Li Li, knew that Master Qingxin had saved his son's life, so he gave Master Qingxin some silver taels as a reward, and Master Qingxin shirked several times, and when he saw that Li Li insisted on giving him, he had to accept it.
Unexpectedly, the day after receiving the silver, Master Qingxin put all the silver in front of Li Li, Li Li originally thought that Master Qingxin was going to return the silver to him, but just as he wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, he heard Master Qingxin ask him if he could use the silver to ask someone to repair the dilapidated temple.
Li Li agreed, invited the craftsman to come over, and Master Qingxin also followed to help, Master Qingxin has been living in that broken temple for a few days, and the pill is also by his side, maybe he wants to give medicine to the wound on the pill or something.
Although the temple began to be repaired, some of the surrounding villagers who believed in the rain king were not happy, and came to the door with sticks to say that the temple was going to be demolished, and then smashed the Buddha statue.
This master of pure heart naturally refused, and those villagers hit him with sticks, although he had a martial art, but he didn't want to hurt people, and he was injured on his body, so he was beaten by the villagers several times, and the craftsmen on the side were also scared away.
At this moment, Danyao ran over from a distance, followed by Li Wu and Lord Liu, which drove away those villagers, it turned out that Danyao suddenly ran out when the villagers came, and somehow happened to find Li Wu and Lord Liu who were nearby.
The medicine given by Master Qingxin to the pill was given by Lord Liu, so Lord Liu recognized the pill, and he also knew that Master Qingxin was going to repair the temple, and probably understood that Master Qingxin was in danger, so he came over.
After Li Peng finished speaking, he praised Zhang Tude again and again:
"Master Zhang, your dog is very smart, thanks to it that time, otherwise I don't know what would happen to Master Qingxin."
Zhang Tude didn't answer Li Peng's words, he looked at the pill next to him, how could the pill know that those villagers would be unfavorable to Master Qingxin? A normal dog is unlikely to understand this.
The pill looks no different from before except that it is fatter, is it because I gave it a strong pill or because it was scratched by an evil spirit?
If it's the latter, then you have to be careful, should a dog under the influence of evil keep it by his own side? It's better to release it when you leave the county tomorrow morning.
"Woohoo."
Just as Zhang Tude was thinking about how to deal with the pill, the pill screamed, which made Zhang Tude come back to his senses, and he found that there was a house in front of him, and the fragrance wafted from it.
"Master Zhang, we're here."
"Hmm."
Zhang Tude responded, and glanced at the pill that was rubbing his trouser leg and was close to him as before, and finally decided to let it continue to follow him for a few days, after all, if there was anything abnormal in the pill, then Lord Liu should have discovered it earlier.
Four people and a dog walked into the living room, an old man in the living room had been waiting for a long time, he saw Zhang Tude and got up and said:
"Lord Zhang, you're here, I don't know if your injuries are better?"
Zhang Tude looked at the old man in front of him, although he had white hair, but he was in good spirits and burly, presumably this was Li Peng, Li Wu's father Li Li, who had been practicing martial arts for many years, so Zhang Tude also replied:
"You are Mr. Li Li, thank you for your concern, I feel much better after waking up, I have caused you trouble these days."
"I'm going to thank you for saving the dog."
After the two exchanged a few polite words, Li Li invited Zhang Tude to take a seat, and several other people also sat down, at this time Zhang Tude suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Master Qingxin all the way, so he asked Li Peng who was sitting next to him:
"Brother Li, is the Pure Heart Master back?"
"Oh, Master Qingxin is still in the temple, he said that he wants to stay in this temple for another night, and return to Juxian County before dawn, it won't delay you to go to Zhengde Temple, so I have to take the pill back first"
"And does he have something to eat there?"
"Yes, our family will go over to bring him food every day, and I even brought him a meal when I went to the temple to find him today."
"Those villagers didn't come to trouble Master Pure Heart again, did they?" Zhang Tude thought of what Li Peng told him on the road, and couldn't help but worry about the safety of Master Qingxin.
"It's okay, after driving away those villagers, my brother originally wanted to send someone to find those troublemakers, but was stopped by Lord Liu, saying that he would deal with this matter, and I don't know what means he used, and those villagers never came again."
After hearing that Master Qingxin had no problem there, Zhang Tude looked at the food on the table, the food on the table was not only hearty, but also light and easy to swallow, it seemed that it was specially made for Zhang Tude.
Under Li Li's greeting, Zhang Tude was no longer polite, picked up the chopsticks and ate the vegetables, and saw that the other people at the table were a little restrained, so they found a topic to chat.
