Chapter 52: Mockery at the Banquet

Shuli looked nervously at Monk Qingning, and the fire monkeys also followed.

Monk Qingning's face was flushed, his brows were tightly locked, and streams of sweat flowed down his forehead and cheeks like a spring.

The fire monkey looked embarrassed, laughed dryly, and reached out to grab Monk Qingning's wrist.

He felt the pulse from his fingers intently, and said after a while: "The pulse has recovered a lot, but it is a little vague, it should be that the gold liquid has played a healing role after catalysis, but for a while, the body can not bear the healing spiritual power contained in the gold liquid, and now he has run the exercises, introducing the spiritual power into the whole body, and it will get better after a while." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Monk Qingning spurted out a mouthful of blood, his face flushed and faded, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.

"Second Senior Brother!"

Xiu Gu shouted anxiously and angrily.

The fire monkey couldn't hold it on his face, and he smiled and stretched out his hand to check Qingning's pulse again, but was blocked by a hand.

Monk Qingning opened his eyes, his face was tired, he stretched out his hand to block the fire monkey, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Thank you senior brothers, I am much better." ”

Shuli said: "It's up to me to help you take the pulse and see how the recovery is." ”

Monk Qingning did not stop this time, Shuli stretched out his hand to check the pulse, carefully inspected Monk Qingning's demeanor, and said to everyone: "There is indeed no big problem." ”

Everyone was relieved, the fire monkey was boasting about his merits, Shuli arranged for Yifeng to go to the temple to find a little soup, so that he could eat after the initial recovery from a serious illness, and Xiugu was arranging the fasting snacks on the table while arguing with the fire monkey.

Monk Qingning looked at this messy and very warm scene and smiled knowingly.

After a while, Yifeng returned, but brought back an older monk.

Yifeng introduced, this is the Leiming Temple's pawn sitting and extending the mage, responsible for fasting, just when Yifeng went out to find soup, just ran into him, he wanted to come over to rendezvous, so he brought him back.

After Yifeng finished speaking, he took the soup and sat next to the monk Qingning to feed Qingning.

Shuli hurriedly asked the senior brother to sit down, and said, "Senior brother, it's really an honor, I'm bothered." ”

Senior Brother Yan was generous, his smile was simple, and he replied: "Amitabha, the Buddha has a good heart, and taking care of the injured senior brother is the responsibility of the same family, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

When Shuli introduced all the brothers and sisters, the monk Yansheng has been looking at the monk Qingning, and after the Shuli was introduced, the monk Yansheng smiled and said: "That is the case, please rest and recuperate here with peace of mind, if necessary, do not have to be restrained, you can inform the guest room in time to entertain the monk, and the little monk will try his best to entertain and be thoughtful." So saying, he got up and left.

The fire monkey and the others were sent to the door, and just after sitting down and eating a few pieces of snack, they heard a knock on the door again.

As soon as the door was opened, the monk who had just left came back again, and brought an older monk, who stood next to him, very respectfully.

Shuli hurriedly let the two of them into the guest room, and after they sat down, the old monk saluted and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Lao Gao is the first seat of the Leiming Temple, and the Dharma name is Yongkh. Lao Qu listened to the disciple Yan Offering mentioned that there are monks to visit our temple, thanks to the love, just today our temple has a distinguished guest to come, want to exchange one or two in our temple, so a little prepared Bo Zhai, I want to invite you to move, enjoy the dim sum Zhai Gong together, and participate in the enlightenment of the Tao together. ”

The fire monkey and Shuli and the others were very puzzled, they didn't expect that the distinguished guests who came today would still be interested in exchanging and cultivating, and they didn't expect that the first seat of the Thundering Temple would personally invite them.

However, at this time, it was difficult to refuse, so they had to agree to go. Except for the injured monk Qingning who needed to recuperate, everyone else went with the Yongkhan monk.

The fire monkey and others followed the monk Yongkhan through the corridors and the main hall and the small hall, and came to a very wide courtyard, in front of the courtyard there is a majestic treasure hall, and below the treasure hall is a thick and regular stone step.

There is an open square in front of the stone steps, at this time has been placed a few exquisite cases, two cases are respected, the fine wood is made, the color carving is exquisite, facing the south and swinging, and the rest of the cases are lined up on both sides.

At this time, on the left side of the two cases sat a fat man with a fat body and a pile of meat on his face, dressed in a barely suitable but taut official uniform, and behind him stood a few maids who were holding fans or waiting, presumably today's distinguished guests.

There are two people sitting behind the desk from the left head, one is holding a folding fan, dressed as a scholar, with a fine face and a graceful demeanor. One is dressed as a Taoist priest, holding a white whisk in his hand, with long hair fluttering, looking like he has escaped from the world.

On the right is a kind old monk, who should be the abbot of Leiming Temple, and there are two small novices with clear eyebrows standing beside him. Two cases are also placed below, one case is empty, one case is for an old monk to sit down, and another long case has a small monk who is adding decorations, which seems to be placed for fire monkeys and others.

The monk's desk is full of vegetarian wine, vegetarian dishes, and pastries, but the style is exquisite, the form is diverse, and it is quite good-looking.

There is wine and meat on the desk of those few people, more than a dozen dishes, the appearance is exquisite, and there are a few dishes of precious game, it seems that although this Leiming Temple is a Buddhist temple, but entertain distinguished guests, do not avoid meat and fish, and are familiar with the road.

When the fire monkey and others came, the monk of Yongkhan sat down on the empty case, and the monk stood behind him, and the abbot of the right head smiled and bowed to them, and the old monk also nodded to them.

The fat old man on the left seemed to be smiling on his fat face, the scholar glanced at it, continued to shake the folding fan slowly, and no longer cared about it, while the Taoist priest glanced at them, waved the dust, and snorted coldly.

Shuli and the fire monkey glanced at each other, and instantly understood why the monk Yongkhan invited them over, it seems that this so-called "exchange" is not very smooth, the monk of Leiming Temple does not want to have a conflict with the visitor, but he can't let go.

In order to ease the atmosphere, let the fire monkey and others come over to "ask for advice" with them on behalf of Buddhism, anyway, they are not the children of the Thundering Temple, so even if there is anything wrong or an accident, the Thundering Temple can be pushed on them entirely.

After the Yongkhan monk briefly introduced the four of them to the people present, Yifeng knew that the old monk on the right was the abbot of Leixing Temple, the elder Xingyin, and the old monk should be the junior brother of the first Yongkhan monk in the temple, and came to accompany the guests.

The Taoist priest sneered: "Elder Xingyin, this is the person you invited to come and talk to us? I don't even have a Dharma name, I don't look like your Shamen disciples, but just like a shaved ronin and a dog with nowhere to nest!"

The faces of the Fire Monkey Shuli and the others instantly turned ugly, while Elder Na Xingyin and the other Thundering Temple monks just smiled and said nothing.

Xiu Gu's face was displeased, and she blurted out: "I think you look like a big horse monkey!"

The Taoist priest had a gray patch on his face, and he usually couldn't hear others talk about this flaw, so he stood up and shook the dust angrily.

The fire monkey hurriedly stood up as well, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't blame this senior brother, the little monk is not strict in discipline, and he makes the junior sister lie in his mouth." But the senior brother doesn't need to be anxious, the little monk's real name is Fire Monkey, and he is in the same category as the senior brother's big horse monkey, so it's better to be relieved, haha. ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone burst into laughter.

When the Taoist priest heard the apology of the needle hidden in the smile, he was furious, and took out a sword from the hand of the little Taoist priest standing behind, pointed it at the tip of the fire monkey's nose, and said, "When you die under my sword, you will know if it is the same type." ”

The sword light is deep purple, the sword body is hollow, and through the dark purple light, it is like a black pupil staring coldly, and it makes people shudder at a glance.

Judging from the flowing sword light and the momentum of the sword finger, although this high Daoist has a bad temper, his cultivation should already be the peak of the first realm, that is, the Taoist Yuqing realm, and I am afraid that except for Elder Xingyin, it is enough to be proud of the people present.

The fat old man smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Gao Daochang, dissipate your anger, and have no taboo words! Why bother with a little girl?"

Seeing that the fat old man had spoken, it was not easy to save his face, so he put the sword back in a stupid manner, sat down indignantly, and then looked at Elder Xingyin and said: "Elder Xingyin, I originally thought that your Buddhism has always been a pure place, and you have always called emptiness and emptiness, and you are not close to women?

The face of the descending elder couldn't hold back, and the faces of the Yongkhan monk and the old monk were also quite ugly.

Elder Xingyin was silent for a while, but still raised his head and smiled, and said, "Elder Gao, don't make such a joke, my Buddha is merciful, all beings are equal, there is no distinction between men, women, old and young, or even between human beings and beasts and cordyceps. All things have Buddha nature, and all things can be reincarnated.

"Maybe in my previous life, I was just a pine and cypress on this mountain, Master Bear was a tiger in the mountain, and Gao Daochang may really be a monkey on the tree!"

Gao Daochang was speechless, but his anger was hard to quench, the fire burned from his heart, and he was about to attack, the scholar who had been watching from the wall put away the folding fan and said: "The evil demon foreign sect, the mouth is false, a school of nonsense, and dare to talk about life and death!"
