In the ancient temple, the bells echo.

In the tea room, the boiling water is fragrant.

The middle-aged man in the monk's robe handed a bowl of green tea soup to Bai Yu, and raised his hand: "Please use it." ”

Bai Yu lowered his head and looked at the bowl of tea soup with green foam, picked it up, tasted it lightly, and then put it down.

The monk asked, "It seems that the Japanese-style tea soup is not to your taste." ”

Bai Yu stared at the tea soup and said, "It's too hot, let it cool for a while." ”

There is still a difference between the Japanese tea ceremony and the Chinese style of making tea, and the overall operation is quite complicated, which is simply not a tea drink, but a performance.

Fortunately, the middle-aged monk in front of him is not such a particular person.

Bai Yu looked at the other party's bald head and said, "The scenery of your place is not bad, I have found a place to become a monk, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful." ”

Amamiya Ryuji said: "When you are young, the killing is too heavy, put down the butcher knife, you can't become a Buddha, at least you can become a monk." ”

Bai Yu asked again: "Are you going to let the Amamiya family be cut off like this?" ”

Ryuuji shook his head: "Isn't there still a real day?" ”

"She's a woman."

"But the Shinto Phantom Yin Stream will stay." Ryuji Amamiya said flatly: "That's enough." ”

Bai Yu raised his eyebrows, and didn't persuade anything more.

In the past ten years, it has become a habit for Ryuji Amamiya to be a monk here, this is already a middle-aged man over forty years old, after breaking an arm, he has devoted himself to practicing Buddhism, cultivating for the state of mind not to retreat but to advance, and more and more of a monk's demeanor.

Bai Yu specially came to see Amamiya Ryuji, first, Amamiya had something to discuss with his uncle, so he came to meet with the other party by the way; The second is that he will leave Fusang immediately after that, and it is necessary to leave an insurance here.

Ryuuji smiled: "You don't have to stay here and sit with me as a monk." ”

Bai Yu held his chin: "I naturally know, we are not so familiar with each other, and we can't find any common topics, but I don't want to go out." ”

As for why you don't want to go out.

Naturally, it's because there are a bit of women outside the teahouse.

Three women in one play, Amamiya Masahiro and Minami Shiori are sisters who can live in harmony, but with the addition of a saint Cortilia, that's another matter.

When they first met, although the surface was calm and drizzling, as Amamiya Masaki took the initiative to walk up and hold his arm, the war had already arrived.

No one knows everything that happened between Knowing Yu and Cortilia, but a woman's sixth sense is always accurate.

Amamiya Masahiro may not have known about the saint's explosive speech before her death, but she clearly or vaguely noticed that Cortilia's attitude towards Bai Yu had changed a lot.

Considering that the two of them would have to cross the ocean and sail to Rome later, her gaze inevitably became a little more meaningful.

There is no solution to this either.

Bai Yu could only pretend to turn a blind eye, then went to chat with the monks, closed the door of the tea room, and then let them make trouble on their own.

"Hahaha." The monk laughed happily: "This kind of thing can be regarded as a sweet trouble." ”

"It's sweet at the moment, but I can't say when it turns into a knife."

Bai Yu thought of a very old two-dimensional sentence.

An inch of the harem and an inch of blood...... The flag of the Crystal Palace always requires the blood of the protagonist to be dyed red.

"It's your family business, and I don't want to ask." Ryuuji took out shogi and said, "If you want to pass the time, I can play a few games of chess with you." ”

Bai Yu said unexpectedly: "I thought you would have any opinion of me, no matter how bad it is, it will reveal some ......."

"Dissatisfied? Disappointed? The monk shook his head and said: "If you really show such emotions, it can only prove that my self-cultivation efforts over the years are far from home, with my position, how can I show any dissatisfaction with you?" ”

"The matter of the real day is also her own decision, even if I don't agree to be an uncle, what's the use, she has never heard of me in the first place, and now her cultivation has reached the four realms...... To put it mildly, if any girl from a family is willing to sacrifice herself to obtain such cultivation and achievement, even if you marry ten or eight concubines, the other party will not care at all. ”

"From the perspective of interests, this is indeed the logic." Bai Yu took the tea soup and drank it all: "But ...... Forget it, since you have no opinion, it is naturally the best. ”

Ryuuji rolled up his sleeves: "It seems that your self-morality needs to accept some criticism, rather than such unconditional tolerance." ”

Bai Yu said with a dry smile: "I'm afraid this has nothing to do with the moral level, but with the safety of life." ”

The monk was puzzled: "With your talent, it is only a matter of time before you want to achieve canonization, how can you be threatened by your life?" ”

"I'm afraid of being here." Bai Yu said bitterly: "Who told you that they can't be canonized?" ”

This time it was the monk's turn to be silent.

After a long time, he recited a universal sentence: "Amitabha." ”

"Master, am I still saved?"

The monk silently raised his hand and pointed out the window.

Outside the window, you can see the courtyard of the temple, and there is a large tree lush under the blue sky and white clouds.

Bai Yu seemed to have an understanding: "You mean that a man's heart should be as wide as the sky, and he should not hang himself on a tree?" ”

The monk shook his head decisively: "I mean, there are still a lot of empty tombstones in the temple, why don't you pick one first?" ”

……

Night, Edo, restaurant.

If you say that Edo Castle is a white-collar worker in the daytime, the traffic is busy, and everyone walks by in a hurry; Then in Edo, the white-collar worker ripped off his coat, put on red lipstick, put down his hair, changed into an evening dress, and held up a wine glass, showing a very seductive appearance like a socialite.

Charming aroma, intoxicating alcohol, dangerous and seductive Edo night show.

The Fuso people are very contradictory, under the repression and self-discipline during the day, they will indulge as much as they want at night.

Extreme repression brings the ultimate liberation.

The streets are brightly lit, and it is obviously the initial stage of economic development, but there are already a bit of neon and drunken dreams of the eighties and nineties.

Standing at the top of a high-rise building, you can see the staggered streets of Edo and the brightly lit night scene, giving you the rudiments of a modern city.

Cortilia picked up the red wine glass and took a sip of wine, leaving a red lip print on the wall of the glass, exhaling a little wine, and her face was slightly red.

"Is this a real experience of the traditional culture of Fuso?"

From five o'clock in the evening to half past eight in the evening, she was led into the largest restaurant in Edo Castle, 'Never Sleep'.

The decoration style of this restaurant is completely Japanese, but the contractor is an infrastructure group from Daxia, it took two years to complete the project, and the financier behind it is naturally the leader of the shogunate, just one month after opening, it has created an extremely terrifying revenue, and the degree of gold absorption is even more than the shogunate's imagination, and the net profit in the first month has been close to all the taxes of the shogunate in the Yoshiwara area.

After that, a huge publicity campaign also took place, and within two years, most of all the poems related to Edo were related to this "never sleeping" building.

It is not only a place of wind and moon, but also an entertainment place, praised like a heavenly palace, with top service, flawless beauty, and the ultimate enjoyment.

The people who can enter and leave here are either high-ranking officials and dignitaries, kendo masters, or talented and wealthy...... Either the children and grandchildren of these people.

Naomi Shiramine's Chang Lotte is already very powerful, but it is still conservative before the night sky here, and there is an absolute gap in volume.

And Bai Yu is very sure that before he weaves his fate, this nightless sky does not exist at all.

He did quietly change part of history, causing the shogunate's economy to grow at least a decade faster than expected.

One of the results of this is that he has a good place to go to the restaurant today.

As the ultimate form of the entertainment industry, it is more advanced than the general Qinglou, and it is a comprehensive place that integrates a series of needs such as negotiation, hospitality, banquet, communication, conspiracy, and gift-giving, and PC, which is only one of the insignificant components, and cannot even be regarded as the main source of revenue.

The real revenue mainly comes from the abundant entertainment activities, the variety of dishes, and the premium brought by various top-notch services.

Since you are leaving Fusang, you should experience the customs of Fusang before leaving.

Cortilia didn't know what kind of agreement she had made with Amamiya Masa, and after being taken back to change into a delicate kimono, she came to the night sky.

I watched various performances, including shamisen, geisha, Noh play, and taiko drums......

In just two and a half hours, the various performances are dazzling, all of which are the essence of various local populism.

The saintess, and even Bai Yu read it with relish, except for the middle paragraph that I couldn't understand at all, everything else was first-class.

During the performance on the center stage, various dishes are constantly served.

The nature of eating is not a roast bird that is actually a poor man's cuisine under the banner of high-end; It's court cuisine.

The shogunate was really able to afford it, and the propaganda slogan even directly shouted 'As long as you can afford to pay, what the shogun eats here, you can eat here', which once triggered the fanatical pursuit of some merchant groups, and the bite to eat is not tuna and salmon, but a kind of bought power.

Cortilia had been in Fuso for a long time, and she had already eaten enough of all kinds of seafood and fish, but this time's cooking style still opened her eyes, and she felt that she was not tired of eating seafood, but that she had not eaten enough good seafood at all.

The hard dishes in the back are even more heavyweight, A5 grade beef is a piece of cake here, the most outrageous is probably a kind of demon produced in Huangquan has been made into a dish, or a limited supply, the raw material of this dish is called the guinea ghost, that is, the pig demon.

The taste is full of praise, and people sigh at the same time as they eat it.

Bai Yu remembered a short story about Journey to the West in the comic book Rihe, and suddenly became even happier.

After dinner in the night, there are other entertainments, but I am too lazy to go, so I lie in my room and watch the night view.

All today's consumption and entertainment are the money paid by the two rich women of the Nan family.

Cortilia patted her round belly, no matter how difficult it was to maintain the image of a nun, she ate a state banquet in Fusang, which made her sigh that she didn't come in vain, but fortunately she slept for three years, otherwise she would have gone back three years ago, how could she have rubbed this good meal?

The beautiful scenery in front of him, Bai Yu shook the wine glass in his hand, looked at the few people in the room, and his eyes fell on the back of Zhentian, who was pouring the decanting soup.

"Tomorrow we will leave Fuso by boat."

True Day looked back at him quietly, waiting for the following.

"You don't have to send us."

He stretched out his hand and gently stroked her cheek: "Because, your time has caught up with me." ”
