Zuo Tianzong and Lu Xihua entered the room, and after Zuo Tianzong put down his luggage, he couldn't help but say, "Master, that old Zen master's magic power is profound, I don't know if he is the key person in the underworld that Shizun is looking for." ”

Lu Xihua nodded, "You don't have merit at the moment, and your eyes haven't been opened, so naturally you can't detect it." However, I saw that he had a garan body beside him, and he would be able to attain positive results in this life, but the fruit level was not high. ”

Zuo Tianzong wondered, "Why did the master say this?"

Lu Xihua said with a smile, "Don't look at his kind eyes now, in fact, he thinks in his heart that all ghosts and ghosts should be destroyed, and he will never be ruthless when he subdues demons and destroys demons, and he should not be underestimated." ”

Zuo Tianzong nodded, "There are no absolutes in the world. Without compassion, where can we cross the world, but I don't know if the old Zen master can listen to persuasion?"

"That's where he comes in, and it's hard to be a stubborn man." If you look at his love for the little monk of the Ten Directions, you know that he has goodness in his heart. After a while, I will invite them to eat something delicious and bear good fruits, and if they can help me achieve great achievements, my life should also come to an end. ”

Zuo Tianzong heard Lu Xihua's words, and hurriedly leaned over to the ground, "If the master succeeds, he will achieve a positive result." It's just that I don't know when Tianzong will be blessed, and I can see the master in person again, and I have to enter the door wall of the master. After speaking, Zuo Tianzong's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and his vocal cords choked.

Lu Xihua sighed, "Idiot, idiot." You and I have enjoyed the love of master and apprentice for more than 70 years in this world, and we are already blessed, so why ask for more?"

For a moment, the two were speechless.

Here, Shifang happily put away his luggage, came to Bai Yun's side, and whispered, "Master, do you see if the two brothers are coming for our Golden Buddha? Should we be careful?"

Bai Yun put the Zen staff in his hand on the shelf in the room, "You are smart." I don't think the two brothers look like bad people, but there must be a reason for being so close, and I will take a closer look at them when I take advantage of the subjective cause and effect of those two, and you don't have to worry. ”

When Shifang heard this, he immediately became happy, "Everything naturally has a master in charge, so I'll just follow behind." ”

Bai Yun shook his head, "Okay, hurry up and tidy up your clothes, the two donors are still waiting for us to eat." ”

Shifang suddenly felt so hungry, and when he thought of himself, he was afraid that he had committed a tongue desire, "Amitabha, sin, sin." "I read the sin in my mouth, but the movement of my hand is quick.

Bai Yun and Shifang were able to get out of the house, and they saw that under the wooden steps, the two Zuo Tianzong brothers were already waiting next to Zhushi Lanzhi, but Zuo Tianzong, who was the eldest brother, had some red circles in his eyes, as if he had cried. The old monk Baiyun was surprised.

The two mages smiled, and only then did they think of their missing parents in the room, and they couldn't help it. Zuo Tianzong saw that Bai Yun Shifang could go out of the house, looked at him in surprise, and immediately explained.

Bai Yunheshi, "It's okay, it's okay, the donor is the true temperament." How can the kindness of parents be easily repaid? Amitabha. ”

"Grandpa, big brother, I'm hungry, let's go eat together. The child Lu Xihua turned into a child and shouted.

Zuo Tianzong looked a little embarrassed, and opened his mouth to say Lu Xihua, but it was difficult to say it. Seeing this, Bai Yun persuaded, "The little benefactor is young and hungry, but the poor monk has forgotten this, which is really a sin." Okay, let's go to the dining hall together. ”

"Oh, let's go!" Lu Xihua clapped his hands, jumping up and down with joy. Shifang had a good impression of Lu Xihua, and felt that even if his brother was a bad person, a child would not be, so he hurriedly stepped forward to take Lu Xihua's little hand, and the four of them went towards the dining hall.

The hall of Minglun Temple is called Wuguan Hall, and there are already many monks holding bowls standing outside the door and waiting in line. Zuo Tianzong showed the small bamboo card in his hand at the door, and immediately a guest monk came to guide him, and took the four of them to a house. There was a small pond in front of the house, and the temple used empty bamboo to draw spring water from the mountains and pour it into the small pool, so that the guests who dined could wash their hands. A bamboo tube stands at the mouth of the spring, and slowly flows out of the spring water between the stone cracks, after the bamboo tube is filled with water, it is poured out with a bang, and then the belly is empty and lifted up, this thing is called Luwei. After the bamboo tube is filled with water, the weight is unbalanced and it falls on the mountain rocks, making a crisp percussion sound, which is somewhat similar to the chirping sound made by a stag, so it is named Luwei.

Zuo Tianzong paid five taels of silver, which are today's lunch and tomorrow morning's morning fast, after removing the room fee of 1600 Wen, there are about three taels left, and two meals for four people are enough.

The four of them sat down, and soon a helper from the Xiangji Kitchen brought the food, and the Zhaoke monk outside immediately brought the food.

First serve four small plates of pickles, a big bowl of soup, then four small dishes, four large dishes, a bucket of fragrant japonica rice on the chair next to it, according to the guest monk retreated, and then began to eat.

The white clouds are like cliffs and rocks on the seaside, standing still, but the ears, nose, eyes, and tongue are moving in the ten directions, and they look a little restless.

Baiyun Heshi, and the ten directions began to recite the mantra of fasting, "Three virtues and six flavors, offering to the Buddha and the monks, the Dharma realm has affection, the universal offering, when the sentient beings, Zen joy for food, the Dharma is full of joy." After reciting the mantra, he took his bowl. Shifang immediately left his seat and said happily, "Master, I'll serve you soup." ”

"Ten directions, no words. Bai Yun said slowly, but it still didn't stop the disciple's filial piety.

Shifang immediately stopped talking, and motioned with his eyes to the Zuo Tianzong brothers to start eating as well.

The soup is lotus seed winter melon codonopsis red date soup, fragrant and sweet, it is estimated that it has been boiled for two hours, it melts in the mouth, and the mouth is full of lotus seeds and red dates.

The four side dishes are stir-fried bitter gourd, stewed pumpkin, blanched spring buds, and fried eggplant strips. Among them, the fried eggplant strips are the best, with flour, salt, sesame seeds and water to make a fried pulp, cut into three or four centimeters long eggplant segment into the fried pulp, roll it and put it into the oil pan to fry the outside of the golden brown, and finally use the fried bean dregs to wrap the soy sauce and spread on it. It tasted fragrant and crispy, and it was very good for rice.

The four main dishes are silver needle powder, fried spring rolls, stir-fried eel silk with bamboo shoots, and Luohan Zhai.

Silver needle flour is made by mixing rice flour and glutinous rice flour, the two ends are pointed, about three inches long, and the thickness is about the same as ordinary beans.

The fried spring rolls are made from wild vegetables on the temple mountain, with dried tofu, black bean sauce, gluten bubbles and various seasonings, wrapped in green vegetable leaves and fried, with toon sprouts inside.

Stir-fried eel with bamboo shoots is actually made of fresh bamboo shoots and shredded shiitake mushrooms, and I don't know how the master of the temple made it, but the shiitake mushrooms actually made the taste of eel.

The last dish is the Arhat Zhai dish, which is made of eighteen kinds of raw materials, which means the devotion to the eighteen Arhats of Buddhism, this is a big dish, which cannot be cooked in a non-superior temple, and it seems that there are indeed masters in this Minglun Temple. Luohan Zhai is made of mushrooms, mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, freshly ground mushrooms, straw mushrooms, dragon's mustache, ginkgo, vegetarian chicken, vegetarian sausages, white fungus, carrots, fresh bamboo shoots, winter bamboo shoots, bamboo shoot tips, oil gluten, black fungus, golden needle vegetables, beans and seasonings, the appearance is plump, the taste is fresh, and the taste of chicken, duck and fish can be comparable.

Many dishes have never been eaten in Shifang, half of his bowl is fragrant japonica rice, half of the vegetables, he is very happy, and finally eats two large bowls in a row, and then he gives up.

The old monk Baiyun ate without hurrying or slow, chewing and swallowing slowly, and only ate most of the bowl and did not eat again, very restrained.

After the meal, the monk served a large bowl of desserts, with ice slag in the bowl, exuding cold air, and a few cups of thick tea.

The dessert is lily pear tofu soup, the tender tofu is cut into thin strips, which is mixed with the steamed pear pieces, lilies, sweet and cold, the throat is comfortable immediately after drinking, and the consumption is scum, and finally drink a cup of fragrant tea, which makes people drowsy.

"Thank you, donor. The old monk Baiyun took the ten directions to Zuo Tianzong to thank him.

Zuo Tianzong hurriedly returned the salute, "The old Zen master is polite." I don't know where the old Zen master and the little master want to go?"

Shifang glanced at Bai Yun, didn't dare to speak, and hurriedly took a sip of tea.

Bai Yun said, "Don't worry, let the poor monk see where the donor's opportunity is." After speaking, his eyebrows fluttered for no reason, and a pair of eyes turned golden, and he looked straight at Zuo Tianzong.

At this moment, Baiyun's eyes flashed, and he only saw in a hazy way that Zuo Tianlong, who was sitting on the opposite side of the table, had white flowers, calm and relaxed, and his body was like a clear shadow, as if there were Yingluo hanging in front of him, and he couldn't help but be shocked. There was a rush of spirit on Zuo Tian's head, pointing to the north in a hazy way. Bai Yun was surprised, and suddenly his magic eye was useless, and he wanted to see it again, but he couldn't see anything.

"Is this person the reincarnation of a celestial being? This life is destined to become an immortal?" Bai Yun's heart was turbulent, but there was a trace of vision on his face, and he said, "The poor monk's mana is shallow, and he only sees that the donor's fate is indeed in the direction of the Jingshi, maybe the donor's parents have been looking for your two brothers for many days and have not seen each other, and they have returned to the Jingshi." ”

"Thank you to the old Zen master for solving the puzzles, no wonder my brother can't find any trace of his parents everywhere, it turns out that his parents are transferred back to Beijing, it seems that we are going to leave for a trip back to Beijing. ”

Bai Yun pondered slightly, and said, "The poor monk and the little apprentice are also going to Jingshi to send an item to the Chinese abbot of the temple. If the donor does not give up, he can go on the road with my master and apprentice. ”

Zuo Tian smiled and said, "Very good, very good, all the way, it is fate, no wonder I felt that it was fate when I saw the old Zen master in the temple." Tianzong hereby thanked the old Zen master for his kindness. ”

Lu Xihua also clapped his hands and shouted, "Okay, okay, let's go together." I'm no longer lonely on Tianheng Road, big brother, do you think it's okay?"

At this moment, Shifang was so shocked that his teeth were exposed, this time the master took himself on a long trip, in order to escort an extremely important item, how could the master invite these two strange donors to go on the road together, is it because they are good people. Shifang really didn't understand, but what the master said, he would do it himself, and said, "Very good, very good, everyone will be more lively together." ”

Lu Xihua said, "Does my brother know how to tell stories? ”

Shifang is also a big child, scratching his head embarrassedly, "I'll have some little stories about Buddhism." ”

Lu Xihua shouted happily, "There is a story to hear, there is a story to hear!"

The old monk Baiyun raised his eyebrows and did not speak.

The four of them got up and went out, ready to go back to the room, and a guest monk stepped forward to greet him, "Two Tan Yue, two masters, this afternoon, the pure space Zen master of my temple will give a lecture in the Bodhi Garden, this is a rare opportunity." Listening to the words of the sage, you should have to practice penance for a few years. I wonder if the four of you want to participate?"

Lu Xihua's voice came from Zuo Tianzong's ears, "Promise him, all four of us will participate." ”

Zuo Tianzong immediately said, "Then there will be Master Lao, and all four of us will participate." ”

Shifang wanted to refuse, but the master didn't speak, and he didn't dare to speak, so he had to be a turtle with a shrunken head.

When the guest monk heard this, he immediately smiled like a flower, "So that Tan Yue knows, two taels of silver per person, a total of eight taels." "I am very happy in my heart, these four people participate in the lecture, and they can get a lot of kickbacks.

Zuo Tianzong didn't say a word, and threw out ten taels of silver, "Your hospital doesn't eat dinner, my brother can't be hungry, and you have to trouble sending some fasting to my room at night to eat." ”

The guest monk took the silver, knowing that he was even happier, "So that Tan Yue can rest assured, naturally there is no problem." Please also ask Tan Yue and the master to go back to the room to rest, the lecture will begin, and we will come to inform you. ”

At that moment, the four of them went back to the house.
