Chapter 20: Long time no see

But these heartfelt words, Ji Xiao can't be stupid enough to say them. He just smiled, as if you were right.

fell into the eyes of the girl, and naturally the uncle was smirking again.

For some reason, every time she saw her uncle's appearance, she couldn't help but want to laugh and tease him.

Ji Xiao asked softly, "What are you thinking?"

The girl was stunned for a while, and when she heard Ji Liao's words, she was shocked that she glanced at Ji Xiao, not half embarrassed, and said crisply: "Uncle, I'm thinking about a very important thing." ”

Ji Xiao said: "What's the matter?"

The girl said, "It's what to eat today." ”

Ji Xiao touched his chin, held back a smile and said, "This is indeed a very important matter, so have you figured out the answer?"

The girl smiled and said, "I just got something, let's go to fast today." ”

............

Xiangguo Temple is a well-known ancient temple, whether it is a dignitary or a peddler's pawn often come here to pray for blessings. Buddhism is open and convenient, and it will not stop anyone who comes to visit.

But Xiangguo Temple is divided into the inner hall and the outer hall, the outer hall is a place where everyone can come and go freely, and the inner hall is not the monks of the temple, it is difficult to enter it, and it is almost impossible to see outsiders.

But if you can get in, you must be a very blessed person. Because the most famous thing about Xiangguo Temple is not that it is very effective to seek Buddha here, let alone the martial arts of the monks in the temple, but the food made by the Zen master of Xiangguo Temple. It is often said that if you can eat a bite of vegetarian food made by the Zen master of the Dumb House, you must be blessed with the cultivation of three lives and three lives.

This sentence is not too exaggerated, and even the monks of Xiangguo Temple may not be able to eat the vegetarian food made by the Zen master of the dumb house. In recent years, if you want to eat the food of the Zen master of the dumb house, you must be qualified to enter the inner hall.

It's just that throughout the year, there may not be any guests who are qualified to enter the inner sanctum.

The girl didn't know where she heard about this, so she had to pull Ji Xiao over.

Ji Xiao also asked her what to do with those little beggars, but the girl said very bluntly that their illness had been cured, and they had hands and feet, and they could survive after all, so she didn't plan to care.

Because of this, he knows a little more about his daughter, she is kind enough, but she is very open-minded, this kind of temperament must have been deeply influenced by her master's sister Qingyu Fairy.

However, Chen Xiaohan is obviously also the apprentice of Qingyu Fairy, but his personality is another type, which makes Ji Xiao slightly curious. What he didn't know was that Ji Sheng was the only apprentice that Qingyu Fairy always brought with him, and as for Chen Xiaohan and them, Qingyu Fairy only taught them how to practice, and did not teach them by word and deed.

Xiangguo Temple is near the capital, so the two of them soon reached the foot of the mountain gate. Now is not the time for the temple fair, but it is still very lively, with an endless stream of tourists, and even some nobles wearing purple robes and red robes.

There are about more than 3,000 steps to walk on the way up the mountain, and it may take some effort for ordinary people, but Ji Xiao and the girl are very human, and they seem to be unhappy, but they easily reach the temple gate.

There are many vendors selling incense and candles around, which makes this ancient temple stained with some red dust and tacky. The three words "Xiangguo Temple" on the plaque on the door of the temple have a profound ancient meaning, and you can perceive the long history of this temple at a glance, so as to forget the surrounding vulgarity.

The girl pointed to the door plaque and said, "These three characters were written by Bodhidharma, he is the only monk who knows the wordless scriptures since the establishment of Nalanda Monastery, but I don't know why he did not become a Buddha in the end." ”

According to legend, comprehending the Emperor's Sutra can become an immortal, knowing the wordless Sutra can become a Buddha, and learning the All-Heaven Demon Sutra is the demon god in the world.

Bodhithara was the only person who knew the wordless scriptures, and in his time he was the first person in the world, but he did not become a Buddha and is said to have died of old age.

The monks in the temple really did not stop the people who entered the outer hall, and there were good men and women in the hall of the Mahavira who were making wishes to the Buddha statue.

After Ji Xiao entered the main hall, he looked up at the Buddha statue of the solemn treasure, and felt a little uncomfortable.

The girl was very keenly aware of Ji Xiao's abnormality and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

Ji Xiao waved his hand and said, "It's okay." ”

The girl didn't ask much when she saw this, and the walls around the hall were either Buddhist scriptures copied by calligraphers of the past dynasties, or murals of heavenly maidens, bodhisattvas, and arhats, each with great charm, making people unconsciously yearn for Buddhism.

The girl and Ji Xiao walked around the main hall and said, "The monks of Xiangguo Temple are also generous, and those calligraphy are genuine." ”

Ji Xiao nodded lightly and said, "Aren't we going to eat fast, how long are you going to go shopping." ”

The girl smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. ”

Ji Xiaoqi said: "If we don't get the qualification to enter the inner hall first, how can the dumb Zen master cook for us." ”

The girl said: "That's the rule of the dumb Zen master, and it's not our rule, we don't have to abide by his rules when we go to eat fast." ”

Ji Xiao said: "So we're going to steal food?"

The girl said, "No, we're going to eat." ”

Ji Xiao said slowly: "I have never done anything like this. ”

The girl smiled lightly: "It's that I've never done anything like this before, which makes it exciting." ”

Ji Xiao was quite speechless, her daughter's words were very reasonable.

Xiangguo Temple is loose outside and tight inside, hiding the dragon and crouching tiger, and others want to sneak into the inner hall, which is simply wishful thinking. But Ji Xiao and the girl quietly sneaked into the inner hall without knowing all the monks in the temple.

They also have sharp noses and good ears, so they quickly know where the kitchen is.

On the way to sneak, Ji Xiao asked, "How can you be sure that he will definitely cook today." ”

The girl said: "Today is the birthday of the host of Xiangguo Temple. ”

Ji Xiao couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this, where was the girl's impromptu rise, it was clearly premeditated. She probably felt that it was lonely for her to steal food alone, so she pulled him in.

I am willing to accompany her to do this.

When they got to the kitchen, they first lurked on the beams.

There was a monk in the kitchen, and he looked very thin.

"This person is a dumb Zen master, I heard that he has no sense of taste, he is still a mute, and his appetite has always been bad, so he has always been very thin. The girl sent a message to Ji Xiaodao.

Ji Xiaoxin said: A mute person who has no sense of taste can actually make a vegetarian meal that is the best in the world, which is a strange thing.

Naturally, the Zen master of the dumb house did not find Ji Xiao and the girl, and after he made the fifth dish, the girl saw that her index finger moved. She was about to start, but Ji Xiao said, "There are still people coming." ”

A very slight sound appeared, and Ji Yu clearly saw the acupuncture points of the dumb Zen master in a speck of dust and sand.

Then from the corner of the door, a black cat walked into the kitchen with light and graceful steps.

It looked at the vegetarian food on the stove, and its blue eyes lit up.

Before Ji Xiao could recover from his surprise, the black cat actually raised its head and raised its front paws and waved at Ji Liao.

Seeing this scene, Ji Xiao couldn't help but sound a song in his mind, "Long time no see!"
