Chapter 259: Why is the mountain spring sweet?

This matter is too unbelievable, and the melon-eating monks who are watching the gambling game are also talking to each other and whispering.

Lu Ruolan even wrinkled her nose slightly, and snorted again and again, "If you talk big, why don't you say that you can even take off the moon in the sky?" ”

"If Little Lady Lu thinks so, this county will pick the moon in the sky for you, and this county will naturally do everything possible to drop it."

Cui Geng's face was frivolous, and his tone was ambiguous, so angry that Lu Ruolan was annoyed again, glanced at him fiercely, and stomped his feet and said, "Hey, Deng's disciple!" ”

"Amitabha! Can you really move the three-eyed spiritual spring of this temple to another place as well? ”

Because the abbot announced a Buddha name, different from the onlookers who ate melons, and even different from Lu Ruolan's sneer, he took three steps and made two steps, stepped forward and grabbed Cui Geng's wrist, and asked excitedly: "Master Cui, is this true?" ”

In the end, it is the oldest old abbot of the Panruo Temple, looking at the problem, thinking about things is definitely higher than the monks in the temple, and it is not comparable to the young and ignorant Lu Ruolan.

Because he knows the root better than anyone else, yes, the temple is prosperous because of the three-eyed spiritual spring. But it was not the first time that there was a temple in Pranya, so there was this three-eyed spiritual spring.

On the contrary, it has been less than 60 years since the temple was built. However, this three-eyed spiritual spring existed before the temple was built. It is precisely because of the three-eyed spiritual spring that the abbot of the temple chose to build a temple here, which opened up the joints of the Yangzhou local government and seized this blessed land.

Later, after the construction of the temple, the monks preached the scriptures and propagated the Dharma, saying how the Buddha had great powers, how to create this three-eyed spiritual spring, and how to guide the monks to build a temple here, as the so-called "this spring has a fate with my Buddhism".

But this thing is just like Wu Zetian said that she is the reincarnation of the Pure Light Heavenly Maiden, some people believe it, but there are more people who don't believe it.

Although there are still some people who don't believe it, the incense of Pranya Temple is the most prosperous and enduring among all the temples in Yangzhou.

But as a personal disciple of the boss of Northern Zen Buddhism, Monk Shenxiu, how could the monk not understand the marketing method that Monk Shenxiu is best at?

After listening to Cui Geng's "big words", he secretly thought that if he could really relocate the Three-Eyed Spirit Spring with the Panruo Temple, it would be terrible!

If it can be done, it will be a real miracle!

At that time, this will be enough to dispel the doubts of those Buddhist believers who do not believe in or worship the temple.

Not to mention the believers from all sides, I'm afraid that even today, Her Majesty the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, will have to issue a decree to praise it.

With all these benefits, the temple can snatch the pilgrims and believers from other temples in Yangzhou, and it will be the largest temple in Yangzhou, and even the first temple in Huainan Road!

Such a big temptation ~ is enough for the abbot to remember the merits of the annals of Buddhism forever, how can he resist it?

……

Buddhist disciples pay attention to the five precepts and ten virtues, should be pure and inactive, in the face of such temptation ~ confusion should uphold the precept of not being greedy, but because the abbot faced the future development of the temple, he still couldn't hold back in the end, and his grip on Cui Geng's wrist became tighter and tighter, and he asked again: "Lao Qu asks again, Cui County makes this true?" ”

Cui Geng shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "It is indeed not difficult to let Lingquan move with the temple. ”

Ben Yin Abbot asked: "Dare to ask Cui County Order, how to relocate?" ”

Cui Geng pointed to so many people around him, blinked his eyes at Monk Chong Benyin, and asked with a smile: "Old abbot, do you think this is the place to talk about such a secret thing?" ”

The old monk is also a human spirit, and after a little pondering, he understood the implicit meaning of Cui Geng's words. I'm afraid that the impossible thing of relocating the three-eyed spiritual spring has nothing to do with any ghost or god matter, and Cui County's order should be through some kind of workaround to let the spiritual spring move.

However, it doesn't matter!

For the temple, no matter how it is moved, as long as it can produce a decent miracle story. The purpose is to attract believers and pilgrims.

The older he gets, the more he is a monk, and the more he studies the Buddhist scriptures, the more he will understand that the things of ghosts and gods are false, but this does not prevent them from using this to attract believers.

Without a mass base, how can we attract true Buddhas, and how can we carry forward this sect?

Therefore, after the monk understood what Cui Geng said, not only did he not feel disappointed at all, but his face was happy, and he asked, "Uh...... Cui County Decree reminds. After standing for so long and talking so much, maybe your mouth is dry, right? Why don't you go to the abbot's room with the old man to have tea, so that the old man can ask the Cui county order about the move of the temple? ”

Cui Geng was overjoyed in his heart, and the demolition of this last big nail household may have a door.

Just as she was about to answer, Lu Ruolan on the side suddenly covered her mouth and yawned, and said coquettishly: "The concubine is also tired, I don't know if I also have this honor?" ”

Monk Benyin looked embarrassed, but finally nodded and said, "Naturally welcome, anyway, Little Lady Lu is not an outsider in this temple." ”

……

……

In an instant, in the abbot's room, the three of them sat down.

Cui Geng said straight to the point: "It is rumored that the three-eyed spiritual spring is extremely sweet, dispelling diseases and eliminating disasters. Because of the abbot, I'm afraid that Gan Yan is true, and the so-called dispelling diseases and eliminating disasters is purely imaginary, right? ”

So far, the monk is not hypocritical, and nodded and said, "Exactly." In fact, these three-eyed spiritual springs are no different from the sweet springs on the high mountains. It's just that people are passing around, and the more they spread, the more mysterious they become. Moreover, the water flow of these three-eyed spiritual springs is very small, and most of the water used in this temple is mainly ordinary well water. ”

"That's fine." Cui Gengdao: "This official has a way to turn ordinary well water into sweet spring water. In this way, after your temple moves to another place, can you claim to the outside world that the three-eyed spiritual spring has also moved? When the time comes, pilgrims come to the new temple to try the spring water, and it is as sweet as the water of the three-eyed spiritual spring. Once the miracle of the temple is spread, it is bound to overwhelm the famous temples in Yangzhou! ”

Speaking of this, Cui Geng narrowed his eyes and stared at the monk Ben Yin, and said: "So for your temple, it is more interesting to move than not to relocate!" Unless the abbot is pure-hearted and has few desires, he really doesn't want to make the Panruo Temple the first temple in Yangzhou! ”

Think...... Of course I thought about it!

Rao is monk is because he kept reciting Amitabha Buddha in his heart, forcing himself to be normal, or he was greedy for the bright future outlined by Cui Geng, and the corners of his wrinkled mouth were so happy that he grinned at the root of his ears.

But happy to be happy, beautiful to beautiful, he still has concerns... Because it sounds like Cui Xianling's method sounds beautiful, but it's not less difficult than moving the Three-Eyed Spirit Spring?

So, he hurriedly said: "Cui County Order, is your method feasible?" But the old man can tell you that it is not okay to add sugar to the well water, it is not a taste, and you can drink it as soon as you drink it. Moreover, the price of this frosting is too expensive, and the temple can't afford it. ”

"Cut, what sugar to add? Isn't that a bad thing? ”

Cui Geng shook his head and said, "The way in this county is to put the water into the well...... Add bamboo charcoal. ”

"What? Bamboo charcoal? Cui County ordered you to ...... "Rao is a monk has been practicing for half his life, and it was not easy to swallow the sentence "It's not sick".

He took a deep breath and said, "Cui County Order, this bamboo charcoal is black, put it in the water, won't it mix the surrounding water and black?" Let's not talk about it, how will you drink this water when the time comes? He said that in this dark well, the pilgrims are not blind, and they can't tell whether this is sewage or sweet spring water? This is ridiculous! ”

"Don't believe me?" Cui Geng raised his eyebrows and said, "That's okay, bamboo charcoal and well water, you have ready-made in your temple, right?" Why don't we cook tea in this meditation room? ”

Lu Ruolan, who had not intervened, got up slowly, blessed slightly, and said, "The concubine is familiar with tea art, so it is better to let the concubine be the two sencha." ”

The old monk nodded again and again, and said, "It's okay, Cui County has made this method absurd, although it is not advisable." However, Lu Xiaoniang's tea art is a must, and today she can enjoy three blessings, and the old man is not a toss in vain. ”

Obviously, the monk Benyin did not approve of Cui Geng's method.

Cui Geng didn't explain too much, facts speak louder than words. However, when he heard him say this, he still asked, "What Sanfu?" ”

"Naturally, it is oral, eye and nose. The mouth is blessed with its taste, the nose is blessed with its fragrance, as for the eyes, you can not only observe the color of tea, but also observe the exquisite tea art of Lu Xiaoniang. "Ben Yin monk said.

While speaking, Lu Ruolan had already beckoned the two little monks and brought in a small stove and props for cooking tea.

Cui Geng said: "Our sencha is just to hide people's eyes, just boil water." ”

"How's that going to work?" Ben Yin waved his hand again and again, and said hurriedly: "It's rare that Little Lady Lu is willing to perform tea art, and she can't ask for such a good opportunity, how can she still push it out?" ”

Cui Geng had nothing to do with this, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Next, Lu Ruolan first slowly roasted the tea cake on a simmer, and after the tea leaves exuded a fragrance, they were put into a wooden box and allowed to cool. The tea leaves are then crushed and placed in a bamboo box for later use.

Subsequently, under Cui Geng's instructions, she first washed a few pieces of bamboo charcoal with water, and then put them into a small copper kettle and boiled them with the well water.

Strange to say, although the bamboo charcoal is black, but when it reaches the water, it will not pollute the surrounding water quality at all, and the two sides are clearly distinguished.

Initial boiling salt; Second, boil the tea powder and all kinds of messy seasonings, and stir them ringly; After three boilings, stop and start to divide the tea.

The little beauty looks focused, and every step of the tea art is full of piety; The demeanor is all directions, and any action gives people a sense of tranquility and beauty.

The whole process took more than an hour.

Cui Geng's official residence is six products, and he has come and gone to socialize, and he has not seen a tea art performance. If it had been normal, he would have been unable to sit still.

But today, under such a beautiful tea art, he thinks time flies a little fast.

Monk Benyin is right, watching Lu Ruolan's tea ceremony is really a great blessing!

"Cui County Order, please use tea." Under the slender jade hand, a cup of tea soup has been served in front of Cui Geng.

"Hmm...... Okay, thank you little lady Lu! ”

At this time, the monk Benyin had already entered a cup of tea, and his face changed slightly: "Old man is here, although this water is slightly different from the spiritual spring water in this temple, it is not far away. Little lady Lu, this is really tea fried with ordinary well water? ”

"Whoa." Lu Ruolan pointed to the big copper kettle next to her and said, "Anyway, the concubine's body is the water taken from here." The great monk doesn't believe it, won't he know if he tastes it himself? ”

Because the monk didn't believe it, he scooped a scoop and sent it to his mouth, and after a few cold wells, his old face suddenly became a little unnatural.

Suddenly!

He got up suddenly, bowed to Cui Gengshen, and said, "Amitabha, Cui County's order has made a great gift to me in the temple, and the old man has written it down, and he will definitely repay it in the future." As for the move of the temple...... Up and down the temple, listen to the instructions. Cui County ordered us to move wherever we wanted! ”

"Haha, thank you old abbot for making it perfect." Cui Geng was very proud to drink the tea soup in the cup.

"Uh...... Cui County's order, can he relieve the doubts of the concubine. After Lu Ruolan drank the tea soup she had cooked, she also asked with a surprised face: "Why did this well water become spiritual spring water after boiling it with bamboo charcoal?" I never thought about it, and I never tried it! ”

The monk also looked at Cui Geng with blank eyes, and he was also very puzzled.

Cui Geng is naturally not self-taught, he also saw it in that absurd dream and only learned about it.

Water that exists in nature has a sweet taste because it contains various minerals.

The reason why the mountain spring is sweet and cold, and the water on the flat ground is general, is that there are too many impurities in the water on the flat land, which covers the sweet smell.

Bamboo charcoal has the ability to adsorb, which can absorb impurities in the water and let the sweetness come out.

Therefore, in the dream, there are many experts in the afterlife who suggest that people who are fond of drinking tea do not need to pursue any mountain spring water, and directly boil bamboo charcoal with tap water, even if they are alive.

Of course, the water quality varies from place to place, and the water produced by this method is far from being as good as some special mountain spring water. However, compared to ordinary mountain springs, it not only tastes similar, but also cleans and hygienia.

Immediately, Cui Geng hid the "minerals" and did not talk about it, only said that the water itself contains a sweet taste, and explained in detail the truth of turning well water into spring water.

After listening to this, the monk drew inferences from one case to another and said, "According to this, you don't need to boil water." Soak the well water directly in the charcoal, can it slowly turn into spring water? ”

"Not bad." Cui Geng nodded and said, "You can even let the water slowly drip onto a layer of paved bamboo charcoal, and the water that seeps through the bamboo charcoal drips down is the mountain spring water." ”

"That's ......," said the abbot, who fell into deep thought for a moment.

Northern Zen Buddhism did not inherit the mantle of the five ancestors of Hongren, but it was able to stabilize the Southern Zen Buddhism that inherited the mantle of the five ancestors. In the end, the monk is the personal disciple of the boss of Northern Zen Buddhism, Shenxiu Monk, and naturally learns the essence of the master Shenxiu Monk.

Under his thoughts, he soon thought of several ways to carry forward the temple and become the first temple in Yangzhou.

For example, the Buddha said that he had a dream. It was declared that the temple was for the great cause of the people of Yangzhou, and the temple was moved to the temple with the three-eyed spiritual spring. Later, the Buddha was greatly moved, and in order to reward the temple, he passed down the method of making spiritual spring water.

For example, the Buddha gave a certain treasure that can turn well water into spiritual spring water.

……

The monk couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he asked Cui Geng to make a suggestion.

Since Cui Geng has achieved the purpose of his trip, he naturally doesn't want to get involved in the hype of the Panruo Temple, so after a few perfunctory words, he got up and said goodbye.

But at this moment, Lu Ruolan suddenly got up and said, "Cui Xian Ling walks slowly, and the concubine still wants to talk to you alone." ”

Talk about it alone?

Although this little girl has provoked herself several times, she and the other party are really friends and foes, but how can she cruelly refuse when she is invited by a beauty and is alone in a room?

Isn't this his Cui Erlang style?

Immediately, he nodded and said, "Those who are willing to do so don't dare to ask for it." I don't know if Mrs. Lu wants to ask me out...... Where to talk? ”
