Beyond the Noisy World: The Long Lost Eight Sects: 199, two dishes

lnmao.org, the fastest update outside: the latest chapters of the eight disappeared!

When I walked out of the peach blossom forest, I came to a highway. You can see people coming and going, just like the outside world. There are bus stops beside the highway. Ding Qi and Xian Hao didn't take the bus, they walked along the highway towards the Wucheng area, and they smelled a scent of wine after walking not far. There is a winery on the opposite side of the road, and a flagpole stands on the beautifully-built gate, and the national flag flutters in the wind.

This scene is like the outside world. If there is such an outside world, it can't be almost the same as the outside world, right? This place is more like a legendary parallel world, but is there such a parallel world in reality? Even if there is, can it be traversed so easily?

Ding Qi's feeling is no longer clear whether it is fantasy or science fiction. Anyway, it has already come. Let's take a look at the situation first.

Walking through the winery, I saw many construction sites and many completed real estate. In recent years, cities have been extending to the periphery. The area of ​​the old urban area is limited. Many real estate development projects are distributed in the new urban areas outside, such as the Yuling District and Jiangbei District of Jinghu City. The scale of Wucheng City is much smaller than Jinghu City. You can walk to the center of the city from the foot of Zhaoting Mountain on the outskirts of the city.

The first place they passed through when they entered Wucheng City was the Old North Gate. There was a street running through the old city from north to south. Obviously, the road to the north of the city has not been widened for many years. The trees on both sides of the road are very tall, about one kilometer ahead. On the right side of the road, there is a sign on the sidewalk pointing to an alley between the houses, and the sign says "Jiulin Temple is 300 meters forward from this."

Ding Qi asked: "Will you go in and see?"

Xian Hao: "Since I'm here, of course I should pay a visit."

The two turned into the alley by the side of the road. The alley was paved with cement and slate. The alley was undulating and ups and downs, surrounded by jagged old houses, some of which were apparently unoccupied. It is more troublesome to relocate the old city in a small area. Many developers would rather start building in the new city, but the distance is not far anyway. Therefore, the contrast between different places in the city is very strong.

Walking a few hundred meters in the alley, an open field suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. It felt like willows and flowers were bright. They came to the gate of Jiulin Temple. The Jiulin Temple does not accept tickets, and the Zen room on the side of the open space is a place where the pilgrims can have breakfast and lunch, which are free large pots of vegetarian dishes and white rice. The rice and oil used in the temple were basically donated by pilgrims.

There are stalls selling incense candles in the open space in front of the temple. One person is the most eye-catching appearance, holding a nine-ring tin rod, wearing a bright yellow monk robe, wearing a red and gold robes, and wearing a hat like the Tang monk in the TV series on his head. He stood there with a sign standing beside him: "Welcome to take a group photo, and the fee is ten yuan each time."

Jiulin Temple opens its doors and does not sell tickets. Two vegetarian meals a day are also provided to the pilgrims free of charge. The pilgrims can put money into the merit box by themselves, as much as they want. But relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to draft water, with such a temple here, the nearby residents can also find small businesses to do. At first glance, this "monk" is not a monk in the temple, but is dressed up by nearby residents.

Seeing Ding Qi and Xian Hao coming, the "monk" greeted: "Handsome guy and beautiful girl, take a group photo, the background is the gate of Jiulin Temple, leave a commemoration!"

The peddler selling joss sticks next to him also greeted: "I have a full set here for those who want to burn incense when entering the temple. There are twenty, eighty, and one hundred and eighty. Which one do you want?"

Ding Qi whispered: "We took a photo with three monks just now, it seems we didn't pay."

Xian Hao hid his mouth and smiled: "There are merit boxes in the temple."

The layout of Jiulin Temple is very strange. It does not have a separate mountain gate and front and back courtyards. The entire temple is open. The surrounding open space is equivalent to a courtyard, and the surrounding residential buildings are equivalent to courtyard walls. The temple is directly at the main hall.

The layout of the main hall here is also something that Ding Qi has never seen before. It is deep and narrow from the front to the back. After entering, you first see the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the middle, flanked by the ten temples Yan Jun. There are incense sticks on the incense table, and there is also a small sign. The yellow line is very dim. You can only notice the handwriting on it when you look carefully. "Burning incense is free, and each person is limited to three."

Ding Qi and Xian Hao looked at each other, put all the cash they brought with them into the merit box, and then took three incense sticks, lit them on the oil lamps, and then went back to the tuanpu in front of the incense case and held the incense for worship. . Neither of them were Buddhists. They did not kneel down and bow their heads. Instead, they held the three incense sticks high and bowed deeply, and then heard the three clear sounds of Dang, Dang, and Dang.

There is a monk sitting in the hall, with his back facing the door, wearing a dark green monk's clothes, located on the right side of the incense table, holding a number of beads and closing his eyes as if chanting, Ding Qi and Xian Hao did not respond when they came in. The two did not bother him. When Ding Qi and Xian Hao held up incense to worship, he picked up a club and struck the purple golden bowl in front of him.

Such a sudden sound often shocked people, but Ding Qi and Xian Hao were not shocked, and even felt very natural. The sound of the bowl became longer and clearer, as if echoing in the soul, Ding Qi even had an inexplicable feeling, and Yan Jun of the ten temples on both sides of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in front seemed to have glanced at them.

Of course, the statues are all eyes open, but they are only made of clay and wood. When the bowl sounded, these statues seemed to "live", giving Ding Qi a feeling of being watched by the eyes. Xian Hao also same feeling.

After worshiping, they put the incense into the furnace. The monk closed his eyes again, as if nothing had happened, and he didn't even turn his head to look at the two of them.

Ding Qi and Xian Hao didn't interrupt the monk to do his homework, they just nodded to him to express gratitude, and then bypassed the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and walked into the apse. The front and rear entrances of the main hall are integrated, and there is no courtyard in the middle. They are all in a long and narrow hall, separated into front and rear entrances by arrangement.

But as soon as I walked into the apse, the light became brighter, as if I had traveled through the yin and yang realms. The apse is more like a showroom, with portraits of the thirty-third ancestors of Zen hanging on the pillar eaves on the left, middle, and right sides, as if introducing the course of the spread of Zen.

The first picture on the left hand is the portrait of Mo Ke Jiaye, the founder of Zen Buddhism, which is the one who smiled at the Lingshan Dharma meeting when he saw the Buddha holding flowers. Zen Buddhism was passed to the twenty-eight ancestor Bodhidharma, and Bodhidharma came to China to the east, and was the ancestor of Chinese Zen. The last portrait of Huineng on the right hand in the apse is exactly opposite to Kassapa.

After visiting the Jiulin Temple, the two did not speak for a long time, nor did they ask for directions. Ding Qi paid attention to the street signs when he walked through every intersection. After walking for another ten minutes, he turned left and entered Binjiang Road. He finally asked Xian Hao: "What are you thinking about, why don't you keep talking?"

Xian Hao seemed to let out a sigh of relief when he spoke: "I don't know what I'm thinking, I seem to remember something, and I don't seem to remember anything, this feeling is indescribable..."

Ding Qi took out his phone and opened the photo album and said: "When Master Fahai took pictures of us, we were obviously empty around us, but he took himself into the picture."

Xian Hao: "This master didn't say a word, but what does he mean, color is emptiness, and emptiness is color?"

Ding Qi: "If you don't have a realm, you don't have to think about it...Hey, the Zhiwei Building is here!"

Zhiwei Building has three floors, with the front door facing the street and the Jushui River behind it. The electronic clock in the lobby shows the time at more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and the date is two months ahead of the outside world.

It's not a meal right now, but there are still several tables of diners in the lobby, obviously business is good. The two asked for a small private room on the second floor. Ding Qi took a look at the recipe, and Xian Hao directly asked the waiter: "Can I order dishes that are not on the recipe?"

The waiter replied: "Yes, as long as we can do it, what kind of dishes are you going to talk about first?"

When I heard this, Ding Qi didn't turn over the recipe, and looked up: "A plate of fried peanuts, a plate of preserved eggs with sharp peppers, and two catties of old spring yellow."

The waiter smiled: "There is no problem with dishes, but Lao Chunhuang sells bottles and pots. Which one do you want?"

Xian Hao asked: "Is there any difference?"

Waiter: "On the bottle sells a bottle for fifty yuan, and on a pot sells for five hundred yuan a pot, they are all for one catty."

Ding Qi and Xian Hao said together: "Then come for the pot...two pots!"

The waiter asked Xian Hao again: "This beauty, what else do you want to order?"

Xian Hao: "I want to order two dishes, steamed crab noodles and wild crucian carp seeds, can you make them?"

The waiter was startled: "I have to go to the back kitchen to ask. If it can be done, I will tell you the price. You can see if you order it or not."

After the waiter went out, Ding Qidao reminded: "You seem to order skewers, those two dishes are not in this book!"

Mr. Zhuang recommended eight books. The book that Ding Qi used to cast spells to open the portal of Kunlun Realm was called "Shen You". After they entered Kunlun Realm, all they saw were the locations and characters in "Shen You". But the two dishes Xian Hao ordered came from another book called "Lingshan".

"Lingshan" mainly tells the story of the Tang Dynasty. The protagonist is named Mei Zhenyi, who is the ancestor of Mei Yeshi, the leader of the two Kunlun Mountains. These two dishes are Mei Zhenyi's favorite food when he was a child.

The steamed crab noodles are made with golden crabs, a specialty of Qingyi Lake in Wucheng. After being steamed, the crab paste is specially picked out, and the crab feet are minced into a soup according to the proportions. A dish requires a lot of crabs. What is more particular about the wild crucian carp seeds is that the material is not complicated, it is the braised wild crucian carp seeds, but the complexity is that this dish specializes in eating the seeds, with other fresh stems and leaves. You can't see the fish.

The growth rate of wild crucian carp is extremely slow. For fish weighing about half a catty, the seeds are suitable for cooking, and they need to be fresh. The seeds are not specially made when cooking, but several crucian carp are braised together. After cooking, the seeds are taken out separately, and then processed together with other side dishes and brought to the table.

Tang Dynasty dishes can of course be made in modern times... Only from the perspective of preparation and labor, these two dishes cannot be served by ordinary restaurants, so the waiter said to ask.

Xian Hao sticks out his tongue, his expression is so cute, and he smiles: "You told me, the Kunlun world that Feng Junzi said includes ancient and modern Chinese and foreign, shouldn't be limited to one book. Let's talk about it. Yes, in the books you have read, there is a story about Lu Xue’s later life, haven’t you seen it now? I ordered two dishes, just want to try it!"

Ding Qi: "Steamed crab noodles, some restaurants now have it on their recipes, but they use different crabs. Last time Tian Xianglong had a treat, I ordered one...but wild crucian carp seeds, I’ve never seen it before!" /

Xian Hao: "You are talking about the restaurant outside, and this is the Kunlun Jie and Zhiwei Building. The waiter didn't say no at the first time. This shows that there is a show. Since you are here, of course you have to try something special. The dishes are delicious, otherwise where can I eat it?"

Ding Qi felt the same way: "That's right, why didn't I expect it? It's just these two dishes, I'm afraid it won't be cheaper."

Xian Hao: "You have ordered 500 yuan a pot of wine, so you might as well be more generous. Ask the price later, as long as you can afford it, if you really can't afford it... then forget it. "

The time is short, the waiter knocked on the door and came in and said: "The chef said, those two dishes can be made."

Ding Qi was surprised and delighted: "How much is it?"

Waitress: "Our boss said again, no money will be charged, even if she is giving it to two people for free."

There are such good things! Ordered a plate of deep-fried peanuts and a plate of preserved eggs with hot peppers, the restaurant owner actually gave away steamed crab noodles and wild crucian seeds for free. How could anyone do this business? Ding Qi quickly stood up and said: "This is too embarrassing, we don't know your boss, can you express gratitude in person?"

The waiter said: "Well, I'll talk to the boss."

The waiter went out again. Time is short. A woman opened the door. Yingying smiled and said, "Ding Dao is friendly, Xian Dao is friendly. Welcome two of you to Zhiwei Building."

This person seems to be twenty-five or six years old, and his whole body exudes a mature taste. Her eyebrows are slightly curved, her slender eyebrows have a provocative charm, her lips are pink, the rosy and plump lip line is a little seductive, and the duck egg face is slightly pointed at the chin. The most important thing is those eyes. Women with single eyelids are sometimes more charming.

Nowadays, many women are clamoring to lose weight every day. In fact, they are not fat, and the skinny is not necessarily the beauty. If it is really a luchai stick, it is not good-looking, let alone sexy. Looking at her again, the place that should be slender is slender, the place that should be full is full, and there is an indescribable charm.

Without introduction, Ding Qi and Xian Hao recognized them immediately. This person should be Han Ziying, the proprietress of Zhiweilou and the Taoist companion of Mei Yeshi. The Han Ziying in the book is a stunner and a fairy. The fairy mentioned here is not an adjective. She is born as a fairy.

Ding Qi and Xian Hao hurriedly got up and saluted: "Hello Boss Han! I’ve been admiring a big name for a long time, and it’s really better to meet each other! But when you meet for the first time, you will present two dishes like this. It’s so polite! I’m so embarrassed... …"

Han Ziying: "I heard that two of you saw Feng Junzi and Luxue on Zhaoting Mountain yesterday. May I ask the fairy teacher?"

Ding Qi was a little puzzled: "Are you talking about Mr. Feng, he's pretty good, haven't you seen him recently?"

Han Ziying: "The whereabouts of the immortal master is erratic, and I haven't seen him in some days. The immortal master can invite two people to taste tea and only two small dishes, of course, you are welcome to try them."

Several people chatted for a while, and the food and drink were quickly served. Han Ziying had other things, so she didn't continue to disturb the two of them for dinner, and went out after saying hello. Before leaving, she even took the door behind her.

Xian Hao lowered his voice and said: "I heard that this woman is a monster, she is really a charming and **** stunner."

Ding Qi hummed, and said noncommittal: "The book says that her original body was the fragrant flying musk, and it has now disappeared."

Xian Hao seems to be joking: "After all, people are still no better than monsters. Who is beautiful with her?"

Ding Qi replied unhurriedly: "If it is in the eyes of the lord of the two Kunlun Leagues, Mei Yeshi, it should be her. But if you ask me, of course it is you! Do you have any different opinions?"

Xian Hao glared at him and said: "Duplicate! Eat food, eat food, such a good dish, hurry up and taste it while it's hot."

The two dishes ordered by Xian Hao are so delicious. Of course, a good dish must be accompanied by a good wine. The two drink each other and drink, and the rhythm of eating and drinking can hardly stop. The two pots of wine quickly reached the bottom. The old spring yellow is very easy to import, and the degree is not high, but the stamina is quite big.

Ding Qi was already three-point drunk, and then looking at the face of Xian Haoqiao, the flour was red, and the figure, the eyes, and the voice of the voice were a bit sultry in the drunkenness. Ding Qi has never seen her look like this before, and couldn't help but be moved...

Delicious, fine wine, and beautiful people are all here! Ding Qiping felt for the first time in his life that the word "Qi" in his name could be interpreted in this way in life. Maybe it feels too good, but it feels not so real. He can't help but recall some of the past, adding a little bit of regret inexplicably.

Xian Hao was also drunk, but he seemed to be more sensitive than usual. He immediately noticed such subtle changes in Ding Qi and asked: "What's the matter with you?"

Ding Qi raised the wine glass, as if looking at the wine in the glass, but looked through the upper edge of the mouth of the glass and looked towards Xian Hao, his tone was a little whispered: "Because it feels so beautiful!"

Xian Hao joked: "You are so beautiful, right? What do you want to say?"

Ding Qi suddenly turned around and shouted out the door: "Two more pots--!"

When the two of them finished drinking and went downstairs to check out, Ding Qi remembered that he didn't have any money with him, and that all the cash had been put in the merit box of Jiulin Temple. He took out his mobile phone and said, "Can I pay by WeChat?"

This question is a little embarrassing. Who knows whether the mobile phone brought in can be swiped here. It should not be a signal of the world. If we can't swipe the mobile phone, wouldn't this meal become a king’s meal? What is the place of Zhiwei Tower? Those who don't know are just fine. If you know the details and dare to come here to eat Bawang's meal, isn't it just killing you?

The cashier smiled and said: "Of course, what age is it now!"

Ding Qi breathed a sigh of relief when the checkout on WeChat was successful. The meal cost a total of two thousand and ten yuan, mainly for the four pots of wine. The two dishes ordered by Ding Qi were only a fraction, while the two dishes ordered by Xian Hao were given by Boss Han. After going out of the gate and coming to Binjiang Road, the breeze blew, and both of them had a sense of drunkenness and springtime.

It's almost time to go shopping, it's time to go back. Ding Qi held Xian Hao in his arms, walking a little erratic, and walked to a secluded place by the Jushui River. He took out the door that Jing Wenshi almost didn't open because he drank too much. Fortunately, he opened it after all.

On the other side of the portal is the large activity room on the second floor of the small building, and the hot pot is still on the table. Going through the portal back to the table, there is another kind of uncomfortable trance, they still maintain the posture before entering the portal.

Ding Qi's reaction was quick, and he reached out and helped him aside in time. Because Xian Hao's body was a little weak, he was a little unsteady in a daze, and turned upside down to him. Said it was supporting, but in fact it was supported by the body, so Xian Hao leaned on her body, but that hand seemed to be holding her waist. This was completely subconscious.

This sudden movement made Xian Hao a little uncomfortable. He twisted his body and stood up straight, then turned his head and said, "I'm out now?"

Ding Qi: "Yes, I have come back."

Xian Hao: "But the posture is a bit wrong!"

Ding Qi: "Why is it wrong? Wasn't it okay just now?" He hasn't slowed down yet. According to the "scientific standard", he should be at the end of the nerve excitement stage after drinking, and he has not yet reached the nerve paralysis stage. As the saying goes, drunk is not drunk.

Xian Hao: "We don't seem to come out from the inside, but we just stand where we are!"

Ding Qi: "It was the same when I came out last time... Hey, why didn't you smell like alcohol when you talked?"

Xian Hao: "Neither do you."

They "just now" walked out of Zhiwei Tower and strolled along the Binjiang Road in Wucheng. Ding Qi could smell the breath that Xian Hao exhaled when he was talking. It was warm and very fragrant, and it seemed to have the fragrance of wine and her body. , Like a spring breeze in the night. This is just a blink of an eye, why can't you smell any alcohol? But both of them were clearly drunk.

As soon as I said this, the wine seemed to wake up suddenly, and they reminded each other at the same time: "Look at the phone!" At the same time, they took out the phone.

Xian Haoxiu furrowed her eyebrows and said: "I checked the time before I went in, and now it has just passed less than a minute."

Ding Qi: "If we deduct the time since we came out, only a moment has passed. We may not consume any time in reality when we enter and exit the Kunlun Realm!"

Xian Hao reminded again: "Look at the wallet!"

There is a saying called "reach out for incense money", which does not refer to the performance art performed by monks in the temple, but a mantra that people who are away from home need to remember. Zhang is the homophonic sound of "body", which refers to ID card; hand refers to mobile phone; if the homophonic sound of "key", it refers to key; incense refers to cigarette; fire refers to lighter; money refers to wallet, a total of six sets, go out Don't forget to bring these six things.

For those who don’t smoke, the formula is even simpler. Just remember the four words "reach out for money". In short, everyone is away from home, don't forget to "reach out for money", of course, you don't need to be so exaggerated with a bowl and a stick.

Ding Qi and Xian Hao took out their wallets after reading their phones at the moment, and then both of them were stunned. In the era of mobile payment, cash is no longer necessary on many occasions, but it is more or less necessary to carry some in case of emergency, especially if people in the rivers and lakes have this habit, otherwise, what if the mobile phone is out of power or there is no signal?

After entering the Kunlun Realm, they put all the cash they brought with them into the merit box in the Jiulin Temple, but at this moment, there was no less in the wallet! The money that has obviously been spent will still be there after returning.
