Bai Yutian bought a few jars of good wine on the road and loaded them on the donkey cart. He returned to the inn and went to the inn counter to ask for paper and pen and ink. He wrote down the treatment prescription and gave it to the uncle before sending him out of the inn. Seeing that the sun was setting in the west and dusk was not far away, he returned to the counter and ordered dinner.
The waiter was overjoyed and quickly picked up the menu and recommended various dishes to Bai Yutian.
Bai Yutian pretended to be a foodie, took all the orders, and finally ordered a fish soup.
The waiter apologized: "Sir, what a coincidence, the fish delivered two days ago have run out. Today is the delivery date, but it has not been delivered at this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to count on it. Otherwise Can you order some other soup instead?"
Bai Yutian smiled and said: "Okay. Then let's order the 'Four Spirit Soup'."
The waiter smiled and asked: "Si Ling Tang?"
Bai Yutian joked: "Second brother, I don't even know about the Four Spirit Soup. I seem to be ashamed of your knowledge."
The waiter asked: "I wonder what the four spirits the guest officer is referring to?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "The four directions, the southeast and the northwest, are home to the gods of the four directions. The green color in the east is wood, and its star is Canglong; the white color in the west is gold, and its star is white tiger; the red color in the south is fire, and its star is red bird; and the black color in the north is water. , its star Xuanwu. The essence of the four stars gave birth to four beasts, and the insects containing blood grew from the four beasts. Therefore, the four beasts are called the four images, and they are also called the four spirits of the sky."
The waiter said: "The four beasts are called gods, how can they be used to make soup?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "Why not. Those wealthy people often show off their noble status and always say that they eat dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder and drink fine wine and jade liquid. I just want to show off today and drink a bowl of four Is there anything wrong with spiritual soup?"
The waiter smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, if you want to have a bowl of Four Spirit Soup, there's nothing wrong with that. However, the shop respects the gods and doesn't dare to be disrespectful to them. Secondly, it's a small business, so even if it has such ingredients, it will be bought." I can’t afford it, and I don’t dare to buy it, for fear of disappointing the customer.”
Bai Yutian laughed loudly and said: "Little brother, I think you are not afraid, but you are not willing to serve me. Think of Qinglong Hall, Baihu Hall, Xuanwu Tang, and Zhuque Hall. I heard that you are involved with them all." For the sake of family and friendship, if you are willing to invite them here and let me destroy them all with one sword, then this Four Spirits Tang will be made."
The waiter's face suddenly changed and he said: "My lord, what you hear in this world is false, and what you see is true. Don't just listen to hearsay and believe other people's nonsense. What about Qinglong Hall and Baihu Hall? I'm running errands in the same store. Dude, go out there and know this. Don’t you think so?”
Bai Yutian smiled and said: "Yes, it seems that we can't count on the Four Spirits Soup today."
The waiter said politely: "Thank you for your understanding, sir. The store's capabilities are really limited."
Bai Yutian said: "Little brother, what can I thank you for? Just give me the menu you just wrote."
The waiter handed the menu to Bai Yutian. Unexpectedly, Bai Yutian took it and tore it up without even looking at it. He was very puzzled and asked nicely: "Sir, why are you doing this?"
Bai Yutian snorted and said without a good face: "To tell you the truth, I am a person who can ignore anything as long as there is good food and drink. But I am also very particular and always only follow my own rules. I don’t like others going against my will. But for the dinner I just ordered, I don’t have the fish soup or the four-spirit soup that I want to have. My mind is damaged, so I can’t keep this menu. .”
The waiter said cheerfully: "Okay, you tell me, I will remember it and start over."
Bai Yutian said: "Forget it, I'll have to figure out a way for dinner myself."
The waiter said quickly: "What about the others?"
Bai Yutian said: "Today I sit down, others will follow my taste." He turned around and walked away.
The waiter chased after him and said in a good voice: "Sir, if you stay in my store and don't dine in my store, if people with ulterior motives spread the word, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my small store to do business in the future. You Please be understanding."
Bai Yutian smiled, put his arm on the waiter's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Go back and tell Zhao Mingxiu that not everyone can bear the poison of Hua Gong Powder, so it's better to use less of it." . Otherwise, if you use it too much, you will be sent to the eighteenth level of hell by the good thoughts of Buddhism after death, and you will never be reincarnated."
The waiter trembled slightly and said calmly: "Zhao Mingxiu, who is he? What are you doing with Hua Gong Powder?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "You and I know it well, why do we need to make it clear! Don't you think so?" He patted the waiter on the shoulder, took big steps, and walked straight towards the cave where Fan Zhongyan lived. There were two footprints Every inch into the ground will be uniform.
When the waiter saw this, the murderous intention in his heart was revealed, like two beams of flame, which just missed igniting Bai Yutian's back.
Bai Yutian entered the cave where Fan Zhongyan lived. When he saw Taoist Wushan, Chen Xiwen's fourth brother, Wu San and others were there, he told what happened just now.
Taoist Wushan felt that some of Bai Yutian's words seemed premature and he was not very satisfied. He couldn't help but said: "Boy, you usually seem to be quite calm-tempered. Why are you so irritable today? Those few words Is this what you should say now? You are an enemy in the open and I don’t want to be in the dark. Are you stupid or not?"
Bai Yutian smiled and said: "Taoist Master, I've said it all, and it's useless to argue. It's better to think of it as giving Zhao Mingxiu a kick."
Wushan Taoist said: "Zhao Mingxiu finally chose this good place, thinking that we would relax our vigilance and let him show off his talents. It would be better for you to tell the truth, wouldn't it make him sad. What if? What if he's too sad and doesn't show up? You can't chase him to Biluo Lake and ask for his forgiveness, right?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "That's not the case. Li Yuanhao of Xixia has many powerful generals and thousands of warriors. If Zhao Mingxiu wants to be popular with him, it is not enough to rely on the name of a martial saint. He can only have generals. The White Lotus Sect has pulled him into trouble and has it firmly in his hand, as a capital for him to speak loudly in the Xixia regime in the future. I dare to guarantee that Zhao Mingxiu will not only not sleep well tonight, but will also get up early tomorrow morning and wait at Ziwuling early. Next, let’s go meet him and give him some advice on what he should do in the future.”
Fan Zhongyan smiled and interjected: "I don't have any suggestions, but I can point out a way."
Chen Xiwen asked: "Sir, what road do you point to?"
Fan Zhongyan said to Bai Yutian: "Boy, what do you think is a good way?"
Bai Yutian replied: "Sir, if I were you, I would show him an open road and a dark road."
Fan Zhongyan said: "Oh! Tell me about it."
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "If he is not willing to die for the sake of betraying his country and seeking glory, then show him a clear path and let him pay respect to Tathagata Buddha and never take a step outside of his compassionate heart. On the contrary, if he is stubborn, If he wants to die for betraying his country and seeking glory, let him lead a secret road to see the King of Hell."
Fan Zhongyan said happily: "Okay, that's it. If you are obsessed with enlightenment, you will take the bright road; if you are obsessed with enlightenment, you will take the dark road."
Chen Xi heard that the four brothers couldn't help but feel relaxed. He thought to himself that no matter which path he, Zhao Mingxiu, took, he would never do evil again. Although I can't vent my anger and kill my enemies for decades of hiding in Tibet, I can still be happy about it since I no longer have any enemies of life and death, and I can get more or less peace.
