The day after seeing off the three members of the Duanmu family, Li Xiuyuan went down the mountain and wandered around the town with a backpack on his back.
Just like the most boring village girl in the town waiting to go to work, she visited the Dong family’s pastry shop, then the West family’s cake shop, and even stayed in the sewing shop for a while.
I made some custom-made skirts for Xiaodie'er and bought myself two blue shirts.
On the street, I ran into Old Meng, who had gone up to the mountains last year at the age of 30. The two sat in a teahouse in the town for an hour, eating a plate of peanuts and drinking a pot of spring tea.
Finally, after walking around the town enough, we walked around the official road outside the town to see how the crops were growing this year and whether there would be a good harvest.
The old man was not idle either. While wandering at the foot of Li Xiuyuan Mountain, he tidied up the vegetable patch on the mountain several times by himself. Seeing that the vegetables were growing so well, the two of them were afraid they wouldn't be able to finish them all.
At this time, the old man missed Xiaodieer and Huajiao who were out playing.
It's been a long time since I heard the crow's crow and heard the little butterfly's cry. The old man felt a little worried.
At this time, Xiao Die'er and the others had already rushed out of the secret realm on Wanren Mountain, headed north, and finally entered the small town that Hua Jiao mentioned.
A place called Niulu Town.
After resting for a day at the inn in the town, Xiaodie and Huajiao washed themselves carefully and went to buy two new dresses, while Crow yelled and ate a big meal.
The three of them wandered deep into the mountains for who knows how many days. When Huajiao and Xiaodieer came out, they were no different from savages.
The crow's wings still only have a few feathers, and it is obvious that it cannot fly yet.
After a day of rest, the three of them were ready to leave the town and go home today.
The crow thought of going on his way
Ran refused to go hungry, so he told Xiao Die'er that it wouldn't be too late to have a bowl of beef noodles before setting off.
Xiao Die'er thought about it, so the three of them led the horse to the most prosperous teahouse in the town, handed the horse to the waiter, and the three of them went up to the second floor.
After choosing a table by the window and sitting down, Huajiao followed the waiter who came to greet him and said, "Three bowls of beef noodles, two more fried eggs for each bowl of noodles, and a pot of tea."
Xiao Die'er added: "A plate of melon seeds and a plate of peanuts, hurry up."
These two things were ordered by her for her junior brother Crow. She also likes to eat melon seeds when she has nothing to do.
Waiting for the beef noodles to come, Crow felt a little depressed. He looked at Xiao Die'er and said, "We didn't find many elixirs on the mountain this time. It's not worth it."
Xiao Die'er glared at it: "Junior brother, you are too greedy. You will benefit from robbing those bandits."
Huajiao sighed and said with a smile, "Senior brother, if my husband hears these words, he will definitely scold you again."
The crow shook its head as it pecked the feathers on its wings: "I will go back this time and never leave the master's side again."
Xiao Die'er was stunned for a moment thinking about the trouble she encountered in Fushan, the evil people she encountered in Tianshui Town, and the bandits in the secret realm of Wanren Mountain.
After a while, he said: "That's right. Xiao Die'er will never leave Master again."
Huajiao looked at the two of them and smiled and said, "We came out in the spring, but we didn't expect it would be summer when we came back. My husband must be very anxious."
While the three of them were talking, the waiter came over with tea and melon seed snacks, and after a while, beef noodles were also placed in front of the three of them.
He smiled and said, "Please use it slowly."
Xiao Die'er paid the money, waved her hand and said: "
Thank you, I'll call you over if necessary. "
Crow Crow took a bite of the noodles and immediately shook his head: "The beef noodles in Baijin City and Ding'an City are still delicious, but they lack some flavor."
Xiaodie'er touched its head and smiled: "I didn't expect that junior brother still remembers the beef noodles in Ding'an City. By the way, where is Platinum City? Tell me."
Crow sighed and replied: "That is another world. It was in that world that I met the master. Senior sister, the master has been to many places."
Xiao Die'er nodded, pointed at the beef noodles in the bowl and said, "Eat it honestly, and you are not allowed to leave until you finish it."
crow head
He shrunk and stopped talking at the moment.
Huajiao looked at Xiaodie'er and asked, "Senior sister, are there really other worlds out there? Are you really not the same as me?"
Xiao Die'er chuckled: "Master said you are not allowed to talk during meals. Did Junior Sister forget that?"
...
Just when the three of them finished eating noodles, holding a cup of tea and eating melon seeds, they were about to leave the teahouse.
Suddenly, the crow lying by the window stopped moving and said softly: "Senior sister, I found a precious successor for the master."
Xiao Die'er was stunned when she heard this, leaned over and followed its gaze downstairs...
I saw a figure walking towards the tea house in the morning breeze. The shadow was still a little blurry a moment ago, but in a moment he had already reached the door of the tea house.
When Xiao Die'er saw clearly, she realized that the person coming was a handsome young monk, about the same age as Huajiao.
There were a few patches on a monk's robe, but it was washed clean and turned white.
But there was a look of desolation on the first floor, but it could not hide the monk's clean eyes.
Monk standing in the teahouse
He paused outside the door for a moment, thinking about it again and again but undecided whether to go in. He thought he had no money and didn't want to beg for alms.
Crow shouted directly: "Monk, come upstairs, my senior sister will treat you to breakfast. Come on!"
When Xiao Die'er saw her junior brother's words, she had no choice but to stick her head out the window and greeted the young monk downstairs: "Master, please move over and drink a pot of tea with us. How about that?"
Huajiao looked at the monk outside the teahouse quietly without saying a word.
The young monk looked up at the crow and Xiaodie'er and couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect that the crow's donor has already heard the Tao and can speak human language. How good it is."
After saying that, he clasped his hands with Xiaodie'er and bowed before stepping onto the stone steps and heading towards the tea house.
For a time, countless pairs of curious eyes stared at the monk who walked in. In their eyes, the monk dressed like this must not be able to eat, let alone drink tea.
Only Huajiao remembered something. This was still a Zoroastrian world, and the people here didn't have much compassion for the monks.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh quietly.
The waiter was summoned: "Please go cook a bowl of plain noodles and fry three eggs and put them on top."
The waiter replied: "Girl, wait a moment, I will serve you..."
Crow looked at the young monk who had gone up to the second floor and said, "Monk, come and sit down. Senior sister, please have some tea."
Xiao Die'er stood up, moved a chair from the side, and changed places with Crow, letting the young monk sit next to his junior brother.
The young monk came over and bowed to the young trio again, and said with a shy face: "I have never met you three, so I don't want to disturb your peace."
black
Crow shook his head and said bluntly: "Monk, I came to you to ask you something. Do you have nowhere to go? I have a good place."
The young monk smiled and said, "I wonder where the place the donor mentioned is? I am just a monk, a monk who has lost his monastery."
In the young monk's view, if he was asked to give up his dream, he might as well just turn around and go home.
"My master has built a new monastery in Furong Town not far ahead. It happens to be short of an abbot and a monk. I think you are good. Do you want to come with me to have a look?"
The crow didn't make too many twists and turns, and straightforwardly explained the purpose of his visit to the young monk.
The monk was stunned when he heard this, then raised his head and looked at Huajiao and Xiaodie'er.
Xiaodie'er curled her lips and ignored the countless pairs of eyes staring at her.
In words that only the monk could hear, he said: "My master saw that the small temple in the town was about to collapse, so he spent a winter and a spring asking craftsmen to rebuild a temple."
Huajiao also said softly: "My husband is just passing by and has not become a monk. I'm afraid he will leave there soon. Master, would you like to go and have a look?"
The young monk was shocked when he heard this and blurted out: "A
A monk in this world spends money to build a temple. Why? "
The crow glared at him, and while the monk was stunned, he softly read the Buddhist scriptures that Li Xiuyuan taught him.
It didn't stop until the young monk became stunned and said, "You should know now. You have never heard of this Buddhist scripture. My master is a god in the sky."
Huajiao sighed and said with a smile: "Sir, the three of us were asked to recite Buddhist scriptures in order to help us practice Buddhism.
Okay, master, don’t misunderstand. "
The young monk clasped his hands together and praised: "This is the first time I heard that a gentleman asked his disciples to memorize Buddhist scriptures to cultivate their minds. I want to go and see that temple. May I ask the name of the temple..."
"Yunqi Temple is a place you have never heard of and will not understand. You will be in a daze when you go there."
Crow changed his playful expression and said seriously: "My master carved Buddhist scriptures from nowhere in the temple, and copied hundreds of volumes of scriptures with his own hands..."
Xiao Die'er sighed and said softly: "Master, come with us to see. As for whether my master can like you, Xiao Die'er can't guarantee it!"
The young monk was shocked when he heard this, and realized that the other party was a man with principles and choices.
Isn't this kind of gentleman exactly what he is looking for?
Thinking of this, the young monk sighed and introduced himself: "I'm Qingfeng, I don't know what your name is, what are your requirements for the successor?"
Monk Qingfeng knew in his heart that his cultivation was not bad, but his practice and understanding of Buddhism was not much, otherwise he would not have sought the Tao from outside.
Xiao Die'er was silent for a moment and replied: "My master Li Xiuyuan has unparalleled Buddhist teachings. He told me that from now on the monks in the temple must be compassionate and not bully the villagers down the mountain."
Huajiao nodded and continued: "Sir, I just bought five acres of land for the temple on the mountain. It's enough for food. If you want to practice cultivation on the mountain, you can't make money."
The crow stretched out its wings, patted the monk's hand, and said with a smile: "You have to think about this. You can only practice cultivation there, but you can't make a fortune. Even the vegetables you eat are grown by my master himself."
Listening to these words, Monk Qingfeng was in a trance for a moment, and did not notice a beautiful woman walking slowly across the street not far away in the morning breeze.
He ate half of the bowl of plain noodles that the waiter brought to him while listening to Xiao Dieer and the other three introduce the rules of his chef. However, the three fried eggs fell into his stomach early.
Touching his belly, Qingfeng sighed secretly: "Even though I have thoughts of leaving the dust, I can't live without the smoke and smoke of the human world."
I also thought about the gentleman who built a temple with the wave of his hand, but was willing to open up a few vegetable plots in the back mountain and farm it for himself. I'm afraid such a gentleman is hard to find in the world, right?
After thinking about it, I couldn't help but look at the crow on the side and asked: "Donor, can your husband cook?"
The crow replied without thinking: "When I met the master, he always cooked for me. Do you think I can boil water, make tea, and make porridge like this?"
Hearing this, Xiao Die'er couldn't help but giggle: "Junior brother, you are not stupid, you are lazy. I will talk to the master about this when I go back."
Huajiao sighed and explained to Qingfeng: "How can I let my husband do these things while senior sister and I are here?"
Crow shook his head, looked at Xiaodie'er and smiled: "I told the master a long time ago that this matter is not urgent."
Qingfeng didn't understand what he heard, looked at the crow and asked, "What's not urgent?"
Wu Wu asked him, thinking that he had to rely on his master, senior sister and junior sister for everything along the way. He was a little shy and speechless for a moment.
Xiao Die'er chuckled: "Master said that my junior brother is lazy. He can obviously transform, but he is reluctant to take that step."
