Since Zhu Errong appeared, Monk Yuanming has been extremely low-key. Originally, he had to go to the counties around Jiankang to preach the scriptures on the fifteenth day of the first month, and almost stayed in the Fengfang Temple for the past two years, unless the emperor of the Southern Dynasty invited him to the palace to preach the scriptures, otherwise the Yuanming monk only stayed in the temple and refused to come out easily. However, in the past, the various supplies to Wu Mian and Gui Non Gui Fu did not decrease at all, on the contrary, they increased compared with the past.

Yuan Ming didn't leave the temple gate, and Wu Mian and Gui didn't plan to provoke him. Except for those things sent by Fengfang Temple, there has been little intersection between the two of them in recent years.

Two more years passed like this, and one morning in early autumn, just after dawn, a small monk in Fengfang Temple sent a letter written by the presiding monk Yuanming. It's just that the little monk came too early, and the old guy hasn't gotten up yet. Yuan Ming instructed the letterhead to be delivered to the hand of the returnee in person, and the little monk could only wait in the gatehouse until it was almost noon before he was taken to the main hall by the housekeeper.

At this time, Wu Mian, Gui or Not Return, and Qiu Fang were sitting here chatting. Bai Wuqiu and Xiao Ren are two monsters, and they don't fall asleep until the second half of the night every night these days, and they don't wake up until after noon every day.

After explaining his intentions, the little monk took out Yuan Ming's handwritten letter and respectfully handed it over to the hand of the returnee. After the old guy took a look, he handed it over to Wu Mian. Then he smiled and said to the little monk who sent the letter: "Your master invited a few of us to go to the temple to eat autumn food today, but it has been a few years, how can Monk Yuanming remember the old man and me?" Also, recently you monks have been going on a vegetarian diet. You're not going to be vegetarian too, are you? Your master knows that there are a few people here who can't live without meat. ”

The little monk said with a smiling face: "Please rest assured, although most of the temples in the world have begun to abstain from meat. However, our Fengfang Temple is still the Taoist system of Tianzhu Buddhism, and our monks can not be picky about what the donors give. Yesterday a benefactor gave a wild deer that he had just caught in the mountains yesterday. Our abbot Yuanming personally overtook this dead deer, and the skin should not be wasted, so we asked Jiankang's famous chef to cook it. Invite a few donors to the temple to taste it. ”

"Your master is interesting, since the emperor of the Southern Dynasty issued a holy decree (Emperor Wu of the Southern Liang Xiao Yan issued a holy decree, and the monk abstained from five meats. For 1,400 years, monks have been vegetarian according to this tradition. The monks of the world have begun to eat vegetarians, and you are so disrespectful as you are in Fengfang Temple. After a haha, he glanced at Wu Mian and Qiu Fang. Seeing that the two of them had no intention of refusing, he continued: "Okay, for the sake of him resisting the decree and also having a treat to eat meat, the old man will give him this face." Let him cook the venison, and we'll be there in the evening." You take this, and when you're fine, take a hat and go to the prostitution parlors in the city, it's interesting......"

As he spoke, the old man stuffed a gold coin in the little monk's hand. The little monk originally said that he didn't want anything, but when it came to the various benefits in the prostitution hall, the little monk refused not so completely, and finally accepted it with a blushing face.

Seeing the little monk leave here like a thief, Qiu Fang smiled bitterly and said to Gui Fu Fu: "Mr. Gui, why are you so hard, why do you want to spoil his cultivation?" It is not easy for them to become monks, and perhaps all these years of cultivation will be ruined by your piece of gold. ”

"No one can destroy the cultivation to the point, let alone gold if you can't practice, just give the two of you to exchange his cultivation." After Wu Mian said a word for the return of no return, he continued to say to the old guy: "Yuan Ming finally can't sit still......"

"It doesn't matter if he sits or not, after so many years, it's almost time to show his feet, he has been guarding Jiankang City for so many years, who really thinks that he and Yuanchang are guarding two imperial courts, one south and one north?" Speaking of this, he smiled, called over to the butler who didn't dare to come forward, and said, "Go and wake up the two young masters, prepare the carriage by the way, and when they wake up, we will set off for Fengfang Temple." ”

More than an hour later, Wu Mian and the carriage that did not return arrived at Fengming Temple. As if he had calculated that these people would come, Yuan Ming had already put on the robe that he would only change into to greet the emperor. In a burst of Buddhist music, these people and demons were welcomed to the temple.

"Originally, I thought that a few people would not be able to come over at night, but now the donkey meat is being cooked outside, and the monk has already asked people to urge it, and it will be ready soon." Yuan Ming invited everyone to sit in the Buddha hall, and then continued: "Although Fengfang Temple does not need to be vegetarian like other temples, it is not good to cook meat in this temple. I asked a famous chef in the city to cook, but it was still a bit of a journey, so I ask for your forgiveness. ”

"Monk Yuanming, what you said makes us a few people who come to eat meat a little embarrassed." After smiling, he continued to say to the monk: "While the meat is not yet cooked, I just have one more thing to tell you, old man." I heard that your nephew Zhu Errong on the side of the Northern Dynasty was in the limelight, and before he was twenty years old, he was named the general and the king of Taiyuan. Huo Quai, the former general of the dynasty, was ill at his age, but he had not made such a great contribution. How? Didn't your nephew say that he would take you to Luoyang to enjoy Qingfu? ”

Hearing that Zhu Errong was mentioned about returning or not, Yuan Ming shook his head and said, "You know, Mr. Gui, for so many years, I have no contact with Senior Brother Yuanchang. And the news of his appearance has come out all over the world, according to Yuan Ming, Senior Brother Yuanchang who appeared this time may not be true. When the monk saw it with his own eyes, he was sure that the Yuanchang who appeared was real or fake. "One Qi, one three, Lu Jiu.

"Yuanchang is Yuanchang, Yuanming is Yuanming. No matter how Yuanchang offended my old man, but for the sake of the monk for so many years, you have provided us with food, clothing, housing and transportation. Yuanchang's sins, old man, I won't count them on your head. After smiling or not, he continued: "But if one day a few of us and your senior brother are in tension, I don't know who the monk will you face?" ”

"Yuan Ming has no magic, and even self-protection is a problem, where can he dare to help one side?" After Yuan Ming smiled bitterly, he continued: "If there is any misunderstanding between the two of you that cannot be resolved, please let Yuan Ming live, but what you just said, old man, the monk has taken it seriously." ”

Seeing that he didn't return to return and Yuan Ming didn't play, the hunger that didn't want to be hungry jumped up. slapped the table at the moment, and said to Gui Fu and Yuan Ming: "Are you full of talking?" Monk, you wouldn't have prepared nothing but venison, would you? Lao Tzu rushed over without even eating breakfast, there is no problem if you kill a chicken and stew it without a deer, right? You don't even have a chicken, and you're embarrassed to say you're here for a treat? ”

"Mr. Bai Wuqiu is at ease, I originally prepared some dishes. However, they all commissioned a cook, and they will be delivered together later. At that moment, Yuan Ming turned around and asked the little monk to urge the venison, and by the way, he brought a plate of godly pastries, although it didn't taste good, but it was still able to fill his stomach. At this time, Xiao Rensan, who was also very hungry, came over to grab food.

After nearly two hours, I finally saw a few little monks walking in with a few large food boxes. After opening the food box, I brought out all the fragrant venison inside. Before the monk could begin to be polite, the two monsters had already begun to grab the venison and munch on it.

"Yuan Ming, let's say, you let us in this time, won't it be just to eat a piece of meat?" After Wu Mian glanced at Yuan Ming coldly, he continued: "You didn't have anything to do with Yuanchang just now, so you have nothing to do with your senior brother this time, right?" ”

"It's still Mr. Wu Mian's eyes like torches." After Monk Yuanming smiled bitterly, he continued: "In addition to inviting you to come and taste venison today, there is indeed a small matter to trouble a few people, three days ago, a letter was tempted to leave outside the door of Fengqi Temple, on which in addition to Yuanming, also arrived at the names of several of you. ”
