Legend has it that the eighth day of December is the day of the Buddha's enlightenment, the ancients in order not to forget the suffering suffered by the Buddha before his enlightenment, but also to commemorate the Buddha's enlightenment on the eighth day of the twelfth month, on this day to eat mixed porridge as a commemoration, and chant the scriptures. Therefore, on this day, the temple will make porridge offerings to the Buddha with grains such as rice and millet and dried fruits such as pine nuts, lotus seeds, beans, and dates.

"La" is a sacrificial vessel name in ancient times, as early as in the "Historical Records of Qin Benji" there is a record of "Hui Wenjun twelve years of wax", and later the ancients often carried out "wax sacrifice" in December, and December was slowly called the wax moon.

Laba porridge is developed and evolved from "fasting rice", in the past, the monks of the temple would carry a basket along the street to beg for food, and then pick it back to the temple, dry and collect the non-perishable food such as dried fruits and grains that can not be eaten, and take it out to make porridge on the eighth day of the lunar month to give it to the pilgrims, and give blessings, so the folk have the saying of "a thousand years of cold pot rice, a day Laba porridge".

The customs and tastes of various places are different, Laba porridge is sweet and salty, and some places like to add fennel, cinnamon and other spices when cooking porridge, commonly known as "five-spiced Qibao porridge", or "Qibao five-flavor porridge", after all, according to personal preferences, similar to each other.

If you talk about the most authentic Laba porridge, it has to be cooked by Huo Toutuo himself.

Huotoutuo's Laba porridge is only cooked once a year, but it takes almost a year to cook it once.

He had to pick every ingredient himself, and if he wanted to use good lotus seeds, he would go to Jiangnan in advance and wait for ten days and a half months. For example, if he wants to use the best pine nuts, he will live in the mountains for ten days and a half and do not come back until he picks the pine nuts that he is most satisfied with. According to him, squirrels know more about pine nuts than people, and when they find that squirrels start to break pine cones, the pine nuts they take out are the most qualified.

Huotoutuo's Laba porridge has both the sweet and soft glutinous flavor of the north, as well as the fragrance of vegetables and fruits in the south, and even the three elders are full of praise. But this year, the three elders can't eat Huotoutuo's Laba porridge, and everyone can't eat it anymore, because how can a dead person cook porridge?

Huotoutuo's body was found in his own room, and it was the little monk named Mangon who found the body.

At this time, it has been three poles on the day, all the major sects and martial arts people have gone up the mountain, the head of Qingxuan instructed the monks to place everyone outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall to sit, and offer tea and melon fruits, signaling everyone to rest for a while.

After a while, Master Qingxuan hurriedly came, followed by Jingxuan and Jingkong.

Master Qingxuan's face was solemn, and he clasped his hands together and said loudly: "Amitabha! Thank you for your fellow martial artists who have worked tirelessly to come to Shaolin to discuss the plan, our temple has happened a lot of incidents a few days ago, first the two uncles were poisoned, and the children of the disciples were poisoned by the Biluo needle, and then the head of Qingcheng was assassinated, and this morning the disciples found that the elder brother Huotoutuo died tragically in the room. The despicable cruelty of the Blue Dragon Society's methods can be seen, my decent martial arts are actually facing the time of life and death, if I don't work together to fight to the death, then it will be scattered and disintegrated and broken, and from then on, the martial arts will be bloody and bloody. Good, good, good! ”

After Master Qingxuan finished speaking, everyone was already in an uproar, and for a while, the heroes were excited, tragic and inexplicable.

I saw Xuan Lingzi, the head of Wudang, gently swinging the dust and slowly getting up.

Wudang lineage, a long history, and Shaolin belong to the same martial arts Taishan Beidou, this Xuanlingzi Taoist in the rivers and lakes is a highly respected person, see him get up to speak, everyone no longer whispers.

Xuan Lingzi saluted eleven with one hand, and said in a deep voice: "Kongwen, Kongwen and Kongwen about the poisoning of the two elders and the death of Zhao's head of the family, the abbot also sent someone to inform us and others last night, and the general situation is also known." The death of the head of Zhao and the poison in the bodies of the two elders are both great losses to my martial arts, which is really deplorable, it can be seen that the thieves of the Blue Dragon Society have unscrupulously tried to achieve their goals, and we must no longer sit idly by, we must think in the long term and discuss all possible strategies. ”

He looked at Master Xuan, paused and continued: "It's just that Huotoutuo died for what reason?" If he is poisoned, with his deep internal strength, he will not be poisoned to death immediately, could it be that the person who killed the head of Zhao has appeared again? ”

What Xuan Lingzi said actually represented the doubts in everyone's hearts, and now that he asks it, others will no longer ask each other.

Master Qingxuan wanted to speak a few times and stopped, it seemed that he was quite worried, Jingkong calmed his face, his teeth were clenched but he didn't say a word, Jingxuan looked at Master Qingxuan, stepped forward to face everyone, put his hands together and said: "This morning, I didn't see my master Huo Toutuo go to the dining hall to make porridge, the abbot sent his nephew Zhenyan to check the monk's house, only to find that he had fallen into the bedroom, with a strong vajra palm in his chest, and his heart was broken, and he had been out of breath for a long time. ”

As soon as Jing Xuan's words came out, the people sitting were even more surprised.

Master Fan Taixian couldn't help but ask: "Ten years ago, Huotoutuo's Mighty Vajra Palm was no longer a second person in the rivers and lakes, how could anyone still kill him with a Mighty Vajra Palm?" ”

Jingkong gritted his teeth and said, "It's true that no one can kill him with a strong King Kong palm, except for himself!" ”

Chen Xuanguan, the head of Kongtong, was surprised and said: "Could it be that Huotou Tuo committed suicide?" Why is that? ”

Jingkong showed a look of disdain on his face and sneered, "Because we found the golden needle in his room. ”

Everyone was in an uproar again, Master Qingxuan sighed, his eyes closed, Shaolin has indeed experienced too much misfortune in the past few days.

"Biluo Golden Needle is the treasure of the Tang family's town faction, and it will never fall into the hands of others for no reason, this time it appeared in Shaolin, and it also hurt the two elders of Kongwen Kongwen, it is obvious that Tang Jiabao is subordinate to the Qinglong Society It is an indisputable fact, Huotoutuo has Biluo Golden Needle, presumably it was also secretly bought, both for the Qinglong thief, and what is the regret, the abbot must not be sad again." I saw a middle-aged man in a brocade dress slowly walking out of the crowd, I saw that his face was white and slightly bearded, and his face was not angry and arrogant, obviously he was a person who was often used to giving commands, but it was not Nangong Yu.

"It makes sense, anyone who colludes with the Blue Dragon Society will not be a pity to die."

"Tang Jiabao dared to blatantly collude with the Blue Dragon Society, he really didn't take my decent martial arts people seriously, so he had to pay a visit."

"I heard that this person is Nangong Yu, the head of Splendid Villa, a famous family, really magnificent."

Everyone was whispering, and suddenly another purple-clothed young man walked out slowly, only to see him holding a sword in his left hand, clenching his fists slightly at Nangong Yu's hands, and said loudly: "Although what the owner of Nangong Zhuang said is reasonable, there is still something unclear below, and I want to ask the owner of the village to teach me." ”

Everyone raised their eyes and saw this young man in a purple shirt with a long sword, and the wind god was handsome and revealing a cold and noble temperament, giving people a feeling that they did not dare to offend easily.

Of course, this young man is Ye Rongqiu, she is followed closely by Zhou Ziheng, but Liu Changfeng is no longer visible, has he left?

The ten-year contract has expired, and it is only in his mind to leave or stay.

Looking at Ye Rongqiu's lonely expression, there really seemed to be some sadness about parting.

Nangong Yu looked at the young man in front of him, and was secretly surprised in his heart, the head of the family, his bearing was extraordinary, he returned the salute with a slight fist, and said with a smile: "This son is really the dragon and phoenix among the people, and he is clumsy, and he has not been able to recognize Jing, I don't know what the son has to say?" ”

Ye Rongqiu smiled indifferently and said: "Xiao Ke is the last to learn, the cheap name is not enough to worry about, just listened to what the owner said, it seems that he has decided that Master Huotoutuo committed suicide in fear of crime, if Master Huotoutuo is really a person from the Blue Dragon Society, his identity has not been revealed, it is when he secretly carries out a conspiracy, why commit suicide in the room?" Besides, there are many ways to commit suicide, with his skills, he can cut off his muscles and veins and die, how can he use the powerful Vajra palm to make his bones incomplete? ”

Just now, everyone actually felt that this matter was strange, but when Nangong Yu mentioned the Blue Dragon Society, it had aroused everyone's hatred and hatred, and they couldn't think about it for a while.

Nangong Yu looked at Ye Rongqiu, and it just so happened that Ye Rongqiu was also staring at him, and a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of both of them.

Nangong Yu said with a smile: "Childe's analysis is very reasonable, to be honest, the contemptible people are also deeply puzzled, why did Huotoutuo commit suicide with a strong Vajra palm, although his idea is extreme, but the facts are there, I really can't think of any other possibilities." ”

Ye Rongqiu secretly scolded the old fox, although he was angry in his heart, he couldn't refute it for a while.

Indeed, ten years ago, Huotoutuo's powerful King Kong palm was also famous in the rivers and lakes, and in terms of the strength of the strong King Kong palm, no one in the rivers and lakes can beat it, who can kill him with this palm method? Moreover, the discovery of a green gold needle in his room is even more difficult to explain.

Although Ye Rongqiu felt that this matter must be unusual, he was suffering from no evidence to explain it.

It would be nice if Xiao Ding was here, she thought to herself, Xiao Ding would definitely have a way.

I don't know how he's doing now, if he's already got the antidote. Maybe he's already on his way here, I don't know why, she doesn't worry much about Xiao Ding's safety now, Xiao Ding's martial arts are high, and he is smart, and he can often do things that others can't, so of course he can get the antidote back. Or maybe she's not worried, it's just a self-comfort.

She doesn't know why she believes in Xiao Ding so much in her heart, some people seem to be born with a sense of trust to others.

Xiao Ding is undoubtedly this kind of person.
