The garlic head was already asleep, and when he heard this, he laughed twice and immediately got up.

"Oh, bald, bald, it's you!"

The little monk Yuanxin touched his bald head and looked at the door suspiciously.

Xiao Yi flicked the candle, and the garlic ran over, opened the door vigorously, and almost didn't break the door.

"Hehe, I knew it was you! Come in, come in!"

The monk only wore an ordinary monk's robe, which was not much different from the monks he saw on weekdays, but his smile was very distinctive, as if he never knew how to shut up. The monk was pulled into the house by the garlic head, and when the garlic head saw the fat pig behind him, he was angry, he stretched out a kick and kicked the pig in the chest, and the fat pig was in pain and ran away again.

"This senior, since it has admitted its mistake, please don't embarrass it anymore!"

Garlic couldn't stop nodding and pressed the monk to the side of the bed,

"Bald man, what are we going to eat tomorrow!"

The monk touched his bald head and said with a smile,

"It's just a normal meal!"

The garlic shook his head and flew up, and said,

"Yesterday when I was out of the valley, I saw you making meat for that man! No! If it weren't for the damn old shallot, I would have asked you to make me a pot too!"

The monk continued to laugh,

"Oh, what you said, that senior Shi taught me to cook! It's not real meat, it just looks a little similar. The seniors said that many monasteries outside did this, and the pilgrims liked it very much. ”

Tong Lu listened to the conversation between the two of them, and said in his heart that this senior Shi was the person who picked his feet in the mouth of the garlic, and the more he thought about it, the more interesting it became, and asked the monk,

"That senior Shi, do you like to pick your feet very much?, isn't it very smelly?!"

The monk thought for a moment and replied,

"Seniors will pick their feet when they are full, and as for that foot, it really stinks!"

Garlic cried,

"It stinks! I said bald, how can you tell a lie, you can smell my feet again, see if it stinks, and how stinky it is!"

"Garlic senior, do you even have to compare yourself with people with smelly feet?"

Tong Lu teased him, and everyone laughed. The garlic stretched out its feet and put it two inches in front of the monk's nose, and everyone looked at the monk, thinking that they must be bullied by the garlic. Xiao Yi was just about to play a round and let the monk go back first, but how did he know that the monk actually put his nose on it and inhaled deeply, and everyone only felt dizzy and couldn't see the reality clearly.

"The senior's foot also has some taste, if it is compared with Shi's predecessor, it is indeed a few points worse. ”

Xiao Yi felt that the house was full of stench, and he couldn't disperse it for a long time, and he didn't know what kind of stinky way the feet of the seniors surnamed Shi were. Garlic clamored to meet the man again, but was stopped by Xiao Yi, and the monk repeatedly dissuaded him, so he was left behind. Gu Yan silently called hot water and washed everyone's feet, which was very intimate. The garlic made a fuss for a while, and then fell asleep immediately after it fell. The monk said goodbye and went out, just took the footwash out with him, and gently closed the door. Xiao Yi heard that there was still a sound outside, it was the monk who was softly calling the fat pig just now, he probably wanted to provide a separate meal for the fat pig. Xiao Yi tossed and turned, it was difficult to fall asleep, and it took a long time to fall asleep. In the dream, he was drinking the dew and admiring the bright moon.

The next day, except for Xiao Yi Gu Yan, the rest of the people slept until noon before getting up, and slept with that nap.

Xiao Yi was surprised to find that Gu Yan also got up very early, although he was not too familiar, he always thought that this person was different, if one day Gu Yan became the number one person, he would not be surprised at all.

The two of them got up early, so they came to the bamboo forest next to the temple together, and found a vacant place to play freely. Xiao Yi practiced as usual, tossing and turning, and played very well. But today he couldn't concentrate a little, just because Gu Yan's move not far away really distracted him. I saw Gu Yan pick up a bamboo branch, stand with his legs apart, and then push the bamboo branch back and forth and stab it, and did it repeatedly like this for half an hour before changing another move. This time, the tip of the right foot was slightly tiptoed, and the tip of the bamboo was gently lifted upward, and it was another half an hour. After that, I changed the action of rotating the tip of the sword again, and repeated it for another half an hour. After doing it, Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and looked very comfortable. Xiao Yi had already finished practicing, and found a bamboo tube on the side to sit down and watch this Gu Yan performance. He saw that Gu Yan was so serious, so he didn't bother too much.

The sky had already dawned, and the two of them had been in this bamboo forest for two hours, and it had already passed the meal. Xiao Yi's stomach growled, and he was thinking about going back to see what he could eat, but the monk came to the forest, still carrying a vegetable basket and a bamboo tube filled with water. He giggled and handed it over. Xiao Yi caught it and couldn't help but thank him. The monk did not leave, but also found a bamboo tube and sat down, watching the two eat and drink. Xiao Yi was not polite, grabbed the food with his hands and ate it, Gu Yan was much quieter, but it could be seen that he was already extremely hungry. After eating and drinking, the monk put back the basket and bamboo tube. Xiao Yi said in his heart, he didn't know the monk's number, so he hurriedly asked,

"Thank you, master, I don't know the master's name?"

The monk smiled brightly and replied,

"The little monk's name is Huairen. ”

After speaking, he went back to the temple, and Xiao Yi and the two stayed in the forest, listening to the wind blowing the green bamboo and singing lowly, and the warbler and the young bird chirping softly. Xiao Yi asked Gu Yandao,

"Brother Gu Yan, it's really strange what you practice!"

Gu Yan was a little confused, and replied lightly,

"The sword moves taught by the master are only thirteen styles, and I have practiced them repeatedly for two years, but I have not practiced any tricks. ”

Xiao Yi smiled and said,

"Then why do you only practice three moves?"

Gu Yan was a little embarrassed, and replied to him,

"I always can't practice well, so I took apart the tricks and practiced them specifically, and found that they had some results. In the beginning, I only practiced one move a day, but now I can practice three moves, and when I can practice thirteen moves a day, it will definitely be very different from today. ”

Xiao Yi nodded lightly,

"This is natural, I practice martial arts every day, and I keep repeating the old moves, every time I practice, I have a different understanding, and I really encounter actual combat, so that I can see the moves and use them freely. It's a bit clumsy, but it works. By the way, can you tell me about your master?"

Gu Yan shook his head and said,

"On weekdays, he is like an old farmer, always busy in the fields. He said that he had an appointment with someone and competed on that fan peak, but I was very skeptical of his ability. Because in addition to teaching me some methods of breathing and fitness, only these thirteen sword moves, which are ordinary, can be learned by everyone, and of course I have never seen him fight with anyone. It wasn't until he passed away that he met the garlic seniors and heard that the two were equally famous, so he knew how powerful he was. ”

Xiao Yi knew a little about these martial arts masters, and asked him again,

"Your master really passed away? How could such a master die for no reason? It's really strange!"

Gu Yan couldn't answer, but someone in the forest answered on his behalf,

"When you're old, you should die, but when you die, you have to fill your stomach!"

The two looked around, found the way, and hurried over to see who was speaking. After passing through a dense forest, a thatched hut appeared, Xiao Yi looked carefully, and saw a person sloppy, dirty, unkempt, and constantly picking at stinky feet, and he could smell it from afar. Xiao Yi knew that this person was the strange person mentioned by Garlic yesterday, so he stepped forward to talk to him,

"The place where the seniors live is really elegant!"

The man put his fingers on the tip of his nose and sniffed, and his whole body was excited, but he looked happy and comfortable. He enjoyed it for a moment, and then replied,

"The place the monk found is not bad! Who are you, I can't sleep early in the morning!"

Xiao Yi smiled and replied to him,

"The two of us practiced martial arts in the forest, and I didn't know that there were seniors here. Senior, did you just finish eating?"

The man squinted his eyes at Xiao Yi Gu Yan and said,

"The monk has also brought you food? Tsk, what a good old man, I can't see anyone starving! I think he is a natural good cook. It's a pity that I only want to stay in this temple, otherwise there will be one more kitchen god in this world. ”

Xiao Yi was interested, and asked again,

"The seniors also seem to know how to cook, listen to Monk Huairen, you still teach him to cook?"

The man's eyebrows were raised, and he said a little proudly,

"As soon as I tasted the food he cooked, I knew that he had some skills, and when I saw the real person, I found that he was really a good seedling. I wanted to take him as an apprentice, but he didn't want to, so I was so angry that I stayed in the temple and didn't leave. I lived for more than a month, but I was the only one in a large guest room, haha, I also lived comfortably, so I spent it with him! The monk didn't know when he built this thatched hut, than in the temple, I also lived here, no, a stay is more than two months. ”

Xiao Yi thought in his heart, this person is so sloppy, even if he can do it, who would dare to come to eat, and when he was wondering, Na Huairen came over, and his face was still full of joy. Seeing Xiao Yi and the others here, I was also a little surprised,

"You two were here, and I thought you were playing in the valley. ”

The monk was carrying some ingredients in his hand, which had been washed clean, Xiao Yi looked at him, as if he was going to cook here, and couldn't help but ask him,

"Master, do you want to cook here?"

Monk Huairen nodded slightly and replied,

"It's not a master, it's just an ordinary monk. Learn to cook from Shi's seniors, so that the senior brothers and brothers and donors can also satisfy their tongues. ”

Xiao Yi smiled,

"I see, this can be regarded as seeking happiness for all sentient beings, much more real than those pseudo-masters who retreat and chant scriptures all day long!"

The monk's eyes narrowed into a slit and replied,

"This is what the little monk wishes in this life! The ambition is not ambitious enough, and it can never be compared with the high monk!"

Xiao Yi said again,

"I just can't get used to those rhetoric, I can't do small things well, how can I be of great use! Don't be modest, it's not easy to do one thing to the extreme! Master, the so-called encounter is fate, you see, let's also relieve our hunger!"

The monk replied,

"It's good, of course! It's just that there aren't many ingredients, just enough to taste, and I'll get some later." ”

Xiao Yi and the two saw that there was a stone pot and stone stove next to the hut, and the firewood was piled on the side, which was as tall as one person. Monk Huairen seems to be slow when he walks and does things, but once he cooks, he is very sharp. The stove was quickly cleaned up, all kinds of tools were prepared, and the monk's mouth was closed one by one, very excited.

Everything was ready, the monk did not cook immediately, but carefully examined it, and the little dust on his chest was also wiped clean by him, and the senior Shi couldn't help nodding on the side. Xiao Yi was funny in his heart, this Shi senior didn't look at his appearance, but he had a lot of requirements for the monk, he couldn't help laughing, and said,

"Master, I'll help you light the fire!"

Gu Huo also reacted, and the two of them were going to come to give the monk a hand. How do you know that the senior Shi looked displeased, and shouted,

"The most important skill of this cook is to master the fire, if you are asked to make the fire, how can he learn it!"

The two of them didn't know that there was such a statement, so they had to wait and watch. The monk laughed and said,

"Follow Senior Shi, you can really learn a lot!"

The senior Shi was angry again,

"Don't hurry up yet!"

The monk was very obedient and hurriedly lit a fire, and Xiao Yi was also amused. Looking at the appearance of Na Shi's predecessor secretly, it seems that he is only about thirty, but with this dress and such a serious look, it is not an exaggeration to guess that he is fifty years old and above. Sure enough, he is still as carefree as garlic, and he looks much younger.

While the monk was doing it, Shi senior instructed at the same time, it was nothing more than a big fire and a small fire, adding salt and vinegar, etc., and there was nothing special about it. Xiao Yi Gu Yan thought to himself, these home-cooked side dishes, this kind of practice, is not much different from what he usually makes, could it be said that with a senior Shi beside him, it will be much better?

The monk quickly finished frying a plate, tasted it himself, and handed it to Senior Shi to taste, and finally it was Xiao Yi's turn.

"It's good overall, but it's a little slower to start the pot, and it's not qualified!"

Seeing this situation, the monk should not have done a good job, so he did it again. Xiao Yi and the others said in their hearts that this person is not old-fashioned, and they are both unhappy with the monk, but if they want to become that top chef, they may not be overly asked for such a request, so they have more respect for this senior. The two of them tried that plate, and as soon as they took a bite, they made eye contact with each other, and they both felt incredible, and this simplest dish could have such a delicious taste.

"The most important thing in cooking is to focus, you only have it in your eyes, don't have any other thoughts!

The monk understood that what he did this time passed the audit, but Xiao Yi and the two didn't taste any difference at all. The monk did this for an hour, and he still had to help in the back kitchen, so he packed up his things and went back to the temple.

The senior Shi was picking his feet again, and Xiao Yi and the two also wanted to go back with the monk Huairen, but they were stopped by him.

"Tell me about the dishes that the monk cooked just now!"

Xiao Yi raised his thumb and praised,

"It's so delicious, I didn't expect this dish to taste like this!"

Gu Yan couldn't help nodding and agreeing with Xiao Yi's opinion.

"Just delicious?"

Xiao Yi shook his head and said,

"It's hard to describe!"

Senior Na Shi sighed and said,

"Hey, it's hard to find a bosom friend, there are too many reckless people in this world, how can you perceive the real taste. ”

Xiao Yi and the two glanced at each other, and said in their hearts that this person is not cold, isn't cooking just for eating, no matter how well he does, he will only increase his appetite a little and fill his stomach more. Xiao Yi didn't want to stay longer, so he replied,

"Senior Shi, let's take our leave first, and I'll come to see you when we have time. ”

Gu Yanzheng'er made a farewell gesture, and the two went back to the temple.

As soon as he entered the temple gate, the garlic rushed out, grabbed Xiao Yi and asked,

"Oh, where is my pig!

Xiao Yi was about to be shaken apart by him, and hurried back to him,

"You have to ask Monk Huairen about this, he knows best!"

Garlic thought for a moment and asked,

"Who is Monk Huairen?"

Xiao Yi smiled bitterly and said,

"How many meals have you eaten, and you still don't know their legal names?"

The garlic suddenly realized, waw wow and ran into the temple, Gu Yan shouted loudly,

"Uncle Shi, this is a quiet place for Buddhism......"

The garlic is running fast, and where can I hear it clearly. Xiao Yi patted Gu Yan and said,

"Your uncle, you can't be regarded as an ordinary person, the more you tell him to be careful, the more daring he is, the more he scares him, the more energetic he is, fun, really fun!"

It was already noon, and the food in the temple was good, and there were three meals a day. Xiao Yi Gu Yan woke up Tong Lu Baiqing, and pulled back the little monk Yuanxin who was running around, and everyone went to see the garlic together. When I went to the back kitchen, I inquired about it, and the pig was locked in the firewood room, and the garlic took a basin full of food and brought it out, but I don't know where it went. Xiao Yi thought to himself, if he eats like garlic, he is afraid that the smaller temples will be eaten by him, but fortunately, this Bigu Temple is full of incense, and these three or five pots of food are not a problem.

Xiao Yi asked a few people to stay for dinner, and he and Gu Yan went to find the garlic. As expected, the garlic and the fat pig confronted each other in the firewood room again. Xiao Yi and the others stood at the door, without saying a word, to see what the garlic did. I saw him grab a handful of food from the basin, knead it into a fist-sized piece, and shout at the fat pig,

"Well, dead pig! If you are obedient, grandpa will give you food, if you are disobedient, he will kill you and eat meat!"

The fat pig did not show weakness at all, coaxed and howled, his hooves slightly bent, and the pig's head was facing the garlic, and he could rush forward to give him one at any time. The garlic screamed angrily, and threw down the basin to rush up to scuffle with it, Xiao Yi Gu Yan hurriedly stepped forward, so that he could barely restrain him with all his strength, and the fat pig took advantage of the momentum and arched forward, just arching to the garlic calf, and the fat pig was also interested, and he accepted it when he saw it, and quickly escaped. Where has the garlic been bullied like this, not to mention that the other party is still a fat pig, is it unbearable, he became angry, although Xiao Yi and the two couldn't pull it, they also eased up, so that the fat pig had time to escape.

The two of them rushed out of the temple with the garlic head, and watched the fat pig run into the bamboo forest from a distance. The garlic ran very fast, and Xiao Yi and the two of them were afraid that they couldn't catch up, so the two of them tacitly followed far behind. The two of them were running, and a person appeared next to them, slowly surpassing them, Xiao Yi was also happy to see it, this person was actually a monk Huairen, I didn't expect him to open his mouth and smile when he ran, and he was not afraid of drinking the wind.

"Why are you two running so slowly! Hurry up, delay a little longer, and the pig will suffer!"

After speaking, Monk Huairen accelerated and ran, leaving Xiao Yi and the two behind him, Xiao Yi said in his heart that this monk was really a little interesting, and hurriedly followed. The three of them ran together in this bamboo forest, and ran out for a while, when someone in front of them shouted,

"Oh, you dead fat pig still want to fly!"

It was the voice of garlic, and the three of them hurriedly ran up, only to see that there was a cliff in front of them, and garlic pouted his ass and lay on the ground, sticking his head out of the cliff, and shouting below. Xiao Yi and the three of them glanced at each other and instantly understood what had happened.

"Garlic senior, this is good, this pig was forced to jump off the cliff by you!

Xiao Yi quipped. The garlic suddenly became sad,

"Oh, my little girl, why can't you think about it so much! I've been dependent on you for so long, why can't you bear to leave me alone......"

The three of them couldn't help laughing when they heard him crying like this, thinking that this crying was too fake, and they had no feelings at all, but they were afraid that he was thinking about how to deal with this fat mess in his heart. The monk recited "Amitabha", Gu Yan comforted the garlic on the side, Xiao Yi was amused, and went to see the fat pig again, he seemed to see something, and shouted,

"Look! there's something moving next to that fat pig!"

When the garlic heard this, he suddenly stopped crying,

"Where, where!"

This cliff is dozens of feet high, and from above, the fat pig is only a little smaller, but there is indeed something moving around it, and the garlic is extremely excited!

"Haha, the fat pig fell to death, but gave birth to another cub, I'll go get it to play with it!"

This garlic is not serious, how does this boar give birth, Xiao Yi is funny in his heart, but he doesn't want to refute it. Xiao Yi looked around, although this cliff is steep, it is easy to find the foot, and it should not be difficult to go up and down, so he also went down with the garlic. Gu Yan and Monk Na Huairen were in command above, but they also helped a lot.

After a short time, the two came to the bottom of the cliff, and the fat pig died a terrible death, and his whole body was about to be broken. I saw a black and white bear screaming, and kept arching the fat pig with its mouth, but no matter how hard it tried, the fat pig never moved. Under the fat pig, there was a big black and white bear, which was only dozens of times larger than the little bear.

The fat pig jumped off the cliff and killed a bear!
