Chapter 138 Royal Chef
Yang Ning left the Palace of Light, and the little monk Zhenming was still waiting outside the palace. The weather was already quite cold and the road was not very clear. However, the little monk Zhenming was very familiar with the path. He led Yang Ning back to the courtyard of Tianbao Mountain. Along the way, the little monk Zhenming said nothing.
After entering the house, lit the lights, the little monk Zhenming said, "Junior Brother Ning, it turns out... you are so good at martial arts. Before, you just... just gave in to the little monk."
He was able to take action in the crisis of Daguangming Temple and keep Jingxin Pavilion from being involved in outsiders. He was full of gratitude to Zhenming who regarded the temple as his home. Yang Ning was able to defeat Baiyuhe in one move, which made Zhenming feel awe and thought that Yang Ning was hidden.
Yang Ning laughed. He knew that the little monk was honest and must be in awe of him at this moment and asked, "Little monk, have you heard of Baiyun Island before?"
He said sincerely and honestly: "The master mentioned it to the monk, but he didn't say much. The master just said that there are several great masters with incredible martial arts skills today, and the Lord of Baiyun Island is one of them. The owner of the island lives on Baiyun Island in the East China Sea for many years and rarely leaves the island..."
"Grandmaster?" Yang Ningqi said: "What does that mean?"
The little monk Zhenming said: "The great master is a powerful figure with extraordinary martial arts. The master told the monk privately that even if those people hold a leaf in their hands, no one can beat them. The master said that the master's martial arts skills are already very good, but they are much worse than those great masters."
"How many more?" Yang Ning said in surprise: "You mean, besides the Lord of Baiyun Island, there are... other grandmasters?"
The little monk Zhenming nodded and said, "The master said there are at least three or four. In addition to the Master of Baiyun Island, there is also the Sun-Zhu Daxue Mountain in Qinghai-Tibet Daxue Mountain. The other masters have never mentioned their names, but they must be very powerful figures."
Yang Ning frowned and said, "The Dharma King of the Sun Chasing the Snow Mountain in Qinghai-Tibet? Who is this person from?"
"The little monk doesn't know either." said the little monk, "But when the master talks about them, he says that these people shouldn't have appeared in the mortal world."
Yang Ning smiled and said, "This is strange. Is your master's martial arts skills not as good as them, so he is jealous?"
"Amitabha, Junior Brother Ning must not say this." The little monk Zhenming immediately said: "The master does not have the desire to compete for strength and be competitive. For so many years, the monk has lived here with his master. The master is clean and has few desires. He only occasionally mentions some things outside with the monk when he is free. The master is never jealous of those people. He just said that if a person's martial arts exceeds the limit of his body, he is not an ordinary person, but a monster. Such monsters will be in the world, and the harm will be greater than the benefits."
At this moment, the little monk Zhenming frowned and whispered, "There are people outside!" and he had already gotten up.
Yang Ning asked, "Is your master back?"
"If it was a master, the little monk would not notice any movement at all." Zhenming said honestly: "There are few people here, so the little monk goes out to take a look."
He left the house, and then Yang Ning reached into his arms and searched carefully, and his face suddenly became solemn.
Today, he made a big splash in the Palace of Light. In the final analysis, the sword maps he got in the old house played a role. Yang Ning remembered that after he had sorted out the dozens of sword maps, he carried them closely, and returned to the capital. Before he could find a place to hide it, he encountered Qi Yu and his son showing off his might in the Marquis' Mansion.
Later, he expelled Qi Yu and his son, and parted ways with the Qi clan. Before he could close the sword map, he suffered internal injuries and had no idea about the personnel.
He remembered that the stack of sword maps should have been carried close to his arms. After waking up, he was in the room of Daguangming Temple. He didn't really think of the stack of sword maps at that time. When he remembered it, he found that the Sword map was no longer in his arms and had lost its trace.
His heart sank.
At this moment, I heard a voice from outside saying, "Junior Brother Qi, haven't rested yet? We happened to have some late-night snacks and sent them to my junior brother to fill my stomach." Then I saw Zhenbi smiling in, followed by the fat monk from Wugutang. The fat monk was holding a large food box in his hand, bowing his waist slightly, and smiling.
Yang Ning glanced at it and didn't expect it to be a person from Wugutang. He didn't get up, but said lightly: "Isn't this the senior brother of Wugutang? Why, haven't you rested yet?"
"No, no." Zhenbi smiled, "Junior Brother Qi, today you use your sword to eliminate evil spirits, and the whole temple is full of joy. We are afraid we won't be able to sleep for a few days or nights." He turned his head and signaled the fat monk to bring the lunch box. He sat down on the stool opposite Yang Ning next to his butt. Before he could speak, he saw that Yang Ning had already frowned, and hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Qi, see what we gave you?"
The fat monk was about to open the food box, but Yang Ning raised his hand and said, "Let's wait!" After looking at Zhenbi, he said, "I said, Senior Brother Zhenbi, what are you selling in the gourd?"
"Junior Brother Qi, don't get me wrong." Zhenbi said: "Today we are offending in Wugu Hall. After thinking about it, we did something wrong. Then we came here to apologize to Junior Brother Qi. Junior Brother Qi is the prince of Jinyi. He is knowledgeable and broad-minded. He will definitely not have the same knowledge as us."
"Oh!" Yang Ning smiled, "Are you here to apologize? This is unexpected."
Zhenbi smiled and said, "Junior Brother Qi, see what you have made first." He glanced at Fat Monk, and Fat Monk had already taken out dishes one by one, "This is jade tofu, this is purple-clothed green bamboo shoots. Junior Brother Qi, you see, this is the fragrant mushroom cup, and there are also, this is the fairy bean, the five treasure wood fungus, the Ruyi monkey mushroom, this last dish is called the Three Colored Jade Scroll!"
Yang Ning only saw the dishes on the table, and the aroma of the dishes wafted. Although they were all made of dishes, they had to admit that every dish was full of colors and fragrance. It was rare that they sent them from Wugutang, and the dishes they arranged were not messy.
When Zhenming saw it, he opened his eyes wide and couldn't help asking: "Senior Brother Zhenbi, are these... all the dishes in the temple? Why have the little monk never seen it before?"
The fat monk laughed beside him and said, "This is the chef who cooks himself. You have to know that even those uncles and uncles don't have this kind of blessing on weekdays. Only those masters and uncles will cook for them alone unless they go to seclusion and practice meditation. The host master has been sitting in the censorship for a while, and the daily vegetarian food is made by Senior Brother Zhenbi himself. You have only been in the temple for a few years, and can you still eat the dishes made by Senior Brother Zhenbi?"
Yang Ning coughed, and Zhenbi's face immediately darkened, and he cursed at the fat monk: "Zhen Yi, what are you talking nonsense? Why can't Junior Brother Zhenming eat the dishes I cook? Isn't it here now?" Xiang Zhenming said with a smile: "Zhen Yi, if you like it, Senior Brother will often make it for you in the future."
Zhenbi was arrogant at first and respectful at the end. Yang Ning knew the reason and smiled and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhenbi, you can give us a small meal. This is probably not good. The senior brothers in Kongming Pavilion cannot enjoy such treatment. How dare we enjoy it?"
"Junior Brother Qi, don't say that." Zhenbi immediately said seriously: "If you want to enter Kongming Pavilion, just say to Master Jingkong, Master Jingkong will definitely agree. He cares about Kongming Pavilion. Whether he can enter is not just a word from Master Jingkong. However, you defeated the Bai surnamed Bai in one move today. His martial arts are higher than those of the senior brothers in Kongming Pavilion. I guess Master Abbot will definitely use you with other benefits."
The fat monk Zhenniang also smiled and said, "Junior Brother Qi, I will ask you to take more care of us in the future."
"So that's what you planned." Yang Ning smiled and said, "If the abbot doesn't use me seriously, wouldn't you be careless this time? Since that's the case, I advise you to take these things away so as not to lose all the money."
"Junior Brother Qi, you misunderstood again." Zhenbi immediately said, "We are just grateful for your help in the rescue of the Great Guangming Temple and express our intentions specifically. We have no other intentions." He glared at Zhenchi and cursed, "If you can't speak, shut up if you can't help, what are you doing? Junior Brother Qi is broad-minded. If you really have a place to take care of us, do you want to say it?"
Zhenchi raised his hand and slapped himself in the face, blaming himself: "It's me who is stupid, Junior Brother Qi, don't be as knowledgeable as me."
Zhenbi had already picked up the chopsticks and presented them to Yang Ning with both hands, saying carefully: "Junior Brother Qi, you can taste it first to see how it tastes and whether it suits your taste. If you like it, from now on, I will cook for you personally and send someone to you every day, so you don't have to work hard back and forth."
When Yang Ning saw Zhenbi’s face full of smiles, he actually didn’t have the heart to care too much about him. He had seen too many people who were changing their minds when they saw the wind, so there was no need to take it too seriously. As the saying goes, if you reach out and don’t hit people with a smile, these two people were so happy that they apologized. No matter what their intentions were, they didn’t have to embarrass them too much. They took the chopsticks, swept the table full of dishes, picked up chopsticks, and ate a few bites.
When the dishes were in the mouth, it was beyond Yang Ning's surprise. These dishes were all full of flavor and flavor, and even the taste was excellent. After taking a few bites, he asked, "Senior Brother Zhenbi, are you really cooking this yourself?"
Zhenbi immediately said solemnly: "I cook every dish myself, and I will never add it. Junior Brother Qi, how does it taste?"
"That's strange. You only left the Light Hall a little earlier than me. I came back after leaving the hall. There was not a long time between them. Why did you make so many dishes in such a short time?" Yang Ning said suspiciously: "To be honest, these dishes taste good and have a good grasp of the heat. It shouldn't be possible that you made them by yourself, right?"
Zhenbi's face looked slightly lustful and she smiled and said, "Junior Brother Qi doesn't know anything. I can cook four dishes at once and cook four pots at the same time, without delaying it."
