Chapter One Thirty-Nine Ghost Possessed
When Yang Ning heard the three words "King of Huainan", he was slightly shocked and asked, "Have you served the King of Huainan?"
Zhenbi said: "I have been in the Huainan Prince's Mansion for two years, but I am actually mainly serving the Prince of Huainan Prince."
"Crown Prince of Huainan?" Yang Ningqi said: "Since you are an imperial chef, how could you go to the Huainan Prince's Mansion? Since you have arrived at the Huainan Prince's Mansion, how could you go to the Daguangming Temple?"
Zhenbi's face showed a sigh and sighed: "If it weren't for the master, I would have been dead long ago."
"master?"
The little monk Zhenming knew that Yang Ning didn’t know many things in the temple and explained: “Senior Brother Zhenbi is a disciple of Master Jingshan, and Master Jingshan is in charge of purchasing warehouses in Wuguan Hall and various places in the temple.”
"So that's it." Yang Ning said: "Senior Brother Zhenbi, you said you had died long ago before entering Da Guangming Temple. Where did you start?"
Zhenbi said, "Junior Brother Qi doesn't know that I was working in the imperial kitchen in the palace, but I am quite talented in cooking. The master of the imperial kitchen saw that I was not bad, so he taught me personally and took great care of me. I remember that the emperor gave a banquet in the palace, and I made a Qunfangzhai, which was all vegetarian. After the King of Huainan tasted it, he said that I had done it well and insisted on meeting me."
"I understand." Yang Ning said: "The King of Huainan must have thought that you cook very well, and he will follow the emperor to take you over."
"Junior Brother Qi is really smart." Zhenbi sighed: "It's not bragging. If I stayed in the palace, I wouldn't be like this today. Even if I was not the master of the imperial kitchen, at least I would be the second master. The King of Huainan praised my skills. The emperor could tell him at a glance. Before he could speak, he asked me to work as a service in the Huainan Palace. I... naturally I can't resist the order."
Yang Ning nodded slightly.
The emperor had always been appeaseing the King of Huainan and was magnanimous to King of Huainan. In the eyes of the emperor, there was no difference between a chef and a fly in the imperial kitchen. Since the King of Huainan liked him, it was just a matter of one sentence to send him out.
"When I arrived at the Huainan Prince's Mansion, there were many people in the kitchen of the palace." Zhenbi said: "Although I am the imperial chef in the palace, I am a junior when I arrived at the palace...!" He showed anger: "Those guys don't like me and are asking me for trouble everywhere. I only knew at that time that the King of Huainan was interested in me because I was good at vegetarian dishes. The prince in the palace had three meals a day, only vegetarian food, and no meat."
Yang Ningqi said: "A dignified prince of Huainan, with rich clothes and food, he doesn't even get meat or fish?"
Zhenbi lowered his voice and said, "I didn't understand at first, but later I realized that the prince might be entangled with dirty things. In order to seek the blessing of the Buddha Sect and eliminate the ghosts on his body, he has been using vegetarian food since he was a child. I am good at vegetarian food, so the King of Huainan asked me to enter the royal palace and specifically responsible for three meals a day for the prince."
"The ghosts are plagued by the ghosts?" Yang Ning smiled and said, "How is this possible? Not to mention whether there are ghosts in the world, even if there are ghosts, where is the royal palace? They are royal relatives and nobles, and the royal palace has its own royal aura, and the ghosts dare not enter."
"That's the case, but it's the truth." Zhenbi made a gesture and said softly: "I have seen with my own eyes that the prince of Huainan will run around in the palace when he is possessed by ghosts, and he will be crazy and talk nonsense. Sometimes he is holding a sword in his hand. Once, when I saw him go crazy with my own eyes, he almost killed a servant in the palace with one knife...!" Although things have changed, Zhenbi's face suddenly showed a hint of fear.
Yang Ning looked at his expression and knew that what this guy said was probably true. He frowned and said, "Is the Prince of Huainan a lunatic?"
"No, absolutely not." Zhenbi said with great certainty: "Only when the ghost possesses him, he is crazy. The prince is usually a humble gentleman, kind and kind to his servants, but a great man." He smiled bitterly: "If the prince is not possessed and always serves him, it would not be a hard work. Although he is the prince, he is not picky. Even if the servant is a little negligent, he smiles it and doesn't care."
"Then why did you come to Daguangming Temple?"
Zhenbi showed anger again and said, "It's not the people in the kitchen. I have been in the palace for two years. The prince and the prince are very satisfied with me. Later, I promoted me to be the second master of the kitchen. I remember that the prince suddenly started to be possessed by ghosts again. The King of Huainan didn't know how to invite the master... It's my current master, Master Jingshan. The master went to the palace to recite scriptures to expel ghosts for the prince...!"
Yang Ning smiled and said, "It turns out that the masters of Daguangming Temple can also do things to exorcise ghosts."
Zhenbi was a little embarrassed and said, "I made a vegetarian meal that day, but... a chicken head appeared in the vegetarian meal...!" Looking at Yang Ning, he explained, "It was the big rooster who was chopped off his head and put it in the lunch box, bloody. When it was opened, the prince was frightened. The prince was very angry and ordered me to be beaten to death."
Yang Ning said: "Of course someone in the kitchen deliberately wanted to harm you."
"Yes, it's just that someone wants to kill me." Zhenbi said angrily: "The King of Huainan is very smart. He should know that even if I have ten thousand courages, I wouldn't dare to put chicken heads in the lunch box. But he was very angry at that time and insisted on curing my sins. Fortunately, the master was present and told the King of Huainan that I had a Buddhist destiny and wanted to take him to Daguangming Temple to worship Buddha and practice Zen. The King of Huainan was not good enough to give the master face and promised me to leave. I saved my life."
Yang Ning said: "If you really want to say this, Master Jingshan will really save you."
"Yes." Zhenbi sighed: "So I followed my master into the mountain. The master knew that I was good at cooking and asked me if I would like to go to Wugutang to do things. My life was saved by the master. Since the master asked this, I naturally would. Since then, I have been working in Wugutang until today...!"
Yang Ning didn't expect that Zhenbi had this experience before, so he raised his thumb and said, "No wonder the dishes you cook really tasted bad. It turned out that he had been in the imperial kitchen."
Zhenbi's eyes looked a little bit lustful and said, "Junior Brother Qi, it's not bragging. I have been practicing in Wugu Hall over the years, and I have been in contact with vegetarian dishes day and night, and my cooking skills have been greatly improved. If I really want the imperial chefs in the imperial kitchen to compete with me for vegetarian food, I may not lose to them."
"I believe this." Yang Ning said: "But Brother Zhenbi, since you are talking to me, I have a few words that I don't know whether to say or not."
"you say!"
Yang Ning said: "You have been excluded, bullied, and even lost your life before. Since you have a personal experience, why should you bully other brothers in this Great Guangming Temple? They all go into the mountains to practice and get together, and it is fate. In fact, there is no need to divide each other." He glanced at the little monk Zhenming and said: "I'm very strange, why do you target Zhenming?"
Zhenbi was even more embarrassed. She looked at Zhenchi and said embarrassedly: "Junior Brother Qi, this... this is wrong with us. In the future... this will not happen again."
"You haven't answered me yet." Yang Ning said: "I'm asking you why you are targeting Zhenming because he is young?"
Zhenbi hesitated for a while and finally said, "Actually... it was my master who was actually a little conflicted with Master Jingchun. I heard that when I was young, Master Jingchun embarrassed my master several times, so...!"
Yang Ning said: "I guessed that's the case. I said, Senior Brother Zhenbi, this is Daguangming Temple, known as the No. 1 temple in the world, and Buddhism is shining everywhere. Even if we are cooking, we should have time to read two Buddhist scriptures. Master Jingchun and Jing...... They are afraid they have forgotten the grudges between you and your master. You still remember them in your heart. Monks still have the desire to fight for strength and victory, that's really not."
Zhenbi raised his hand and grabbed his forehead and said, "Junior Brother Qi said, "It's ours, it's not, and it won't happen again in the future. You shouldn't take the matter to heart today. Yes, should Junior Brother Qi stay on the mountain to practice, or just practice here for a short time?"
Yang Ning said: "What do you want to do?"
"It's nothing. It's just that from tomorrow, I will send someone to bring you food." Zhenbi smiled and said, "Didn't Junior Brother Qi recover from his injuries on the mountain? I'm not inconvenient. I'll make you a sick meal specifically, so you don't have to work hard back and forth."
Yang Ning thought that this was certainly not a bad thing, and smiled and said, "This...isn't this good, right? Is it a special thing?"
"It's okay." Zhenbi immediately said, "I'll make arrangements, I'll make arrangements." Xiang Zhenming said, "Junior Brother Zhenming, if you have something wrong in the past, don't take it to heart. Please make sure you have enough food in the future." Xiang Yang Ning smiled and said, "Junior Brother Qi, use it slowly. It's dark, so it's not easy to disturb me here. Look for an opportunity to chat."
He hated the tactfulness and led Zhenchi out of the door. Before leaving, he even took the yard gate with him carefully.
The little monk Zhenming sat down opposite Yang Ning and said, "It turns out that they gave me very little food because the master had a rift with Master Jingshan back then."
"There is a result, there must be a cause." Yang Ning said: "What happens will never happen for no reason. But your master seemed to always give their master ugly, and it was quite awesome." He asked in a low voice: "Senior Brother, have you always taken care of me when I am here?"
The little monk Zhenming nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Oh, I remember lying on that bed when I woke up." Yang Ning turned around and pointed to the bed behind him, "You seem to have said that I have been lying here for two days and two nights."
"Yes." The little monk Zhenming said, "You were brought by the master personally. At that time, the uncle and uncle had already helped you heal your wounds. Before you woke up, you should recuperate in the bed. The master went down the mountain to the palace that night. Before leaving, he asked the monk to take good care of you, and wait for you to get up to teach you the scriptures... The monk did what the master told me."
"Then...will you find a package on me?" Yang Ning hesitated for a moment before asking carefully: "Wrapped in black cloth, with drawings inside, can you see it?"
The little monk Zhenming shook his head and said, "No, Junior Brother Ning, have you lost something? There are no outsiders here, and the little monk has never touched your things."
