Chapter 52: Ancient Temple (Back Garden)
Qiu Li suddenly returned to Red Sea City from the demon-infested Dasheng Dynasty, and she forced herself to calm down without a little excess.
Until the game release task, when she met Qin Zhaodi, Senior Brother Chen and others, she was still like walking on the clouds, which was a little unreal.
As she walked on her way to the temple kitchen, she thought of her last time in Dashengguo.
The four truths of the national teacher Ji had murderous thoughts on himself.
She reached out and touched her wrist, the green snake jade pendant was a living creature, and it could not be left in the "carry-on food box", it did not return to Red Sea City with her.
Did the senior brother escape in the end? Master Huiyuan is going to die of sadness, none of his two apprentices makes him worry.
Akiri felt a deep sadness in her heart, she looked at the rich greenery on the side of the temple corridor, this time when she came back, she always felt that this temple was a little different, and there was a feeling that made her uneasy.
Akiri has always had a strange idea, this game interface in his mind, if you think of it as an intelligent AI, it seems to have been helping herself, swinging back and forth with herself.
At the Dashengguo Ghost Market Noodle Restaurant, it was obvious that he was reminding himself with the help of the release task.
Although he pit his own props, this life was indeed saved.
She looked up and rubbed her palms together, leaving her chaotic thoughts behind.
Now that you're back, let's concentrate on completing your current mission.
The front is the kitchen, Qiu Li pushed open the kitchen door, Master Zhiguang was not there, there was only the little fat man of Renyi and the little monk with a low sense of existence of Renxin.
"What about benevolence?" Akiri asked.
Renyi pouted, "He was called over by Master Zhiguang." ”
Looking at the appearance of the little fat man, there was a sense of loss of failure to compete for favor in front of the master, Qiu Li was funny, she opened the refrigerator, rummaged in it, raised her head and said to Renyi and them: "He's not here, then we will learn to cook new dishes today, only teach you, not him." ”
"Okay, what are we going to cook today?" Renyi's chubby face suddenly hung with joy.
Even the taciturn benevolent face showed a bit of anticipation.
Qiu Li took out the well-packaged spring bamboo shoots from the refrigerator, took out the tofu skin and dried tofu, and replied with a smile: "Make a spring bamboo shoot feast." ”
Chilled spring bamboo shoots are not easy to preserve, although the taste is not as delicious as the freshly dug up, but as long as it is handled properly, it is still a good taste in the world.
The two little monks stopped their cleaning work and followed Qiu Li, who was not polite and instructed them to prepare the ingredients one by one.
Soak the fungus, wash the mushrooms and dried beans for later use.
Only then do you shred the spring bamboo shoots, shred the dried beans, and take out the enoki mushrooms.
After mixing the taste, she wrapped the three in tofu skin, demonstrated once, and asked the two little monks to do it together, and after a while, the whole workbench was full of three silk rolls of tofu skin.
I made another cold salad, shredded bamboo shoots, and put some chili oil next to it, which can be added by the diners themselves.
The soup is spring bamboo shoots, shiitake mushroom fungus soup.
Finally, the fried tofu skin three silk rolls, after a while, the kitchen room is full of aroma, and when the fried tofu skin three silk rolls are fried to golden brown, Qiu Li tasted a piece of it, it is not delicious, it is simply fresh eyebrows......
At noon, the rice in the cauldron was barely enough, and some people ate an extra bowl of rice than usual.
Rende appeared for a while, brought lunch to his master Zhiguang, and then disappeared.
Qiu Li didn't bother to care, anyway, she came to the temple to complete the task, and she managed to pass the seven days smoothly, but as long as a player can complete the task, she can also follow the light, at least she doesn't have to spend money to buy a resurrection card.
I hope this year's players will be powerful, Qiu Li thought to herself.
Until the evening, only that Senior Brother Chen came to check in, Qiu Li already knew that his full name was Chen Liang, and he was a middle school teacher.
Usually the first night of the mission is peaceful, and Akiri took advantage of the walk to go to the Black Tower once, and turned around to find that the door of the Black Tower was locked again.
The monk who guarded the door was still there, and Akiri inquired, but did not get any useful news.
When she arrived at the lecture hall behind the Scripture Pavilion, she found that the venue was being set up, and she counted the futons placed in the center of the hall, and there were 38 of them.
There is a verse pasted on a corner of the wall: Don't look for him, you have to go all the way with me, she read it softly, and thought it was very good.
A man's voice came from behind him, "This verse was written by Zen Master Dongshan when he was enlightened, and there is another sentence at the end. ”
Qiu Li turned around and said in surprise, "Master Lichong." ”
Li Chong is a thin monk who can't see his age, and on the day of the abbot's accident, she had a relationship with him under the attic of the scriptures.
"It's you, why are you interested in Buddhism?" Li Chong had met her in the cafeteria, and he had probably forgotten the scene of the first encounter.
"These verses are interesting." Qiu Li smiled, "Is it the master who is presiding over Zen Qi this time?" ”
"Yes, it's me, this issue of Zen 7, mainly explaining the Lotus Sutra."
Qiu Li's heart moved, and she looked up at Li Chong, "In this scripture, is there anything about the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon?" ”
"Oh? Indeed, the eight divisions of the Heavenly Dragon are all the external protectors of the Buddha, and if you are interested in listening to it, you will talk about this chapter on the third day of Zen 7. There was a hint of gentleness in Li Chong's eyes.
"Okay, I'll come early in the morning." Akiri readily agreed.
The two chatted a few more words, Qiu Li said goodbye to Li Chong, before the abbot passed away, she heard Li Chong say a sentence: "The hospital can't cure it, you don't understand." ”
At that time, the abbot had just been carried in, and he just glanced at it from a distance, and made this decision, Akiri felt that he should know something, and in short, it was not a bad thing to have a good relationship with him.
She walked back along the path, the monks did not eat for lunch, and from today she also planned to follow this rule, she touched the muscle lines in her abdomen, it was just summer, and she took the opportunity to lose weight.
In the evening, the setting sun shone on the temple, dyeing everything golden.
The temperature in the temple was several degrees cooler than outside, especially as she walked down the tree-lined path, which she walked through her quarters, past the three houses in the dining hall, and into the back garden of the temple.
It was completely deserted, and she looked at the withered trees at the entrance to the garden, and on the far right side of the road, a path that winded into the garden, paved with green bricks, and some wild grass peeking out of the cracks.
She abandoned the main road and walked towards the path, and not long after, she heard the cat meow.
After walking a few steps, a familiar cat's head poked out of the wild grass, and Qiu Li smiled at the corner of her mouth and shouted: "Big orange!" ”
It seemed that this was its home, and the orange cat looked at her, probably recognizing her, jumped out of the grass, walked to the intersection, glanced at her, and then disappeared into the dead trees.
Qiu Li looked at the place where it had left, and there were a few rare stones in the dead bushes, carved with handwriting, which had been eroded by the wind and rain.
She bent down to pluck away a few branches and looked over.
The stone was supposed to be large, but it was broken into several pieces, and she looked at the word closest to her, "Temple"; In front is the word "dragon", which is about the abandoned temple monument of "Longxi Temple".
The word in the middle that is obscured by a dead branch must be the word "stream".
She reached out and picked up the branch, and a faded word appeared in front of her, "Breath"?
