Li Xiaobai took out a talisman, his mind sank into it, and he was able to accurately sense the location of the crazy monk.
"The lyrics that this crazy monk sang just now don't sound like rumors. I feel like he is a knowledgeable person. The old man who hangs out in Lingyin Temple should have seen a lot of big scenes. Being so miserable means that there are no people above him. Look back.
You can ask him about some things."
Li Xiaobai thought in his heart that in this place, everything needs to be done carefully, and no mistakes can be exposed.
Find a place to stay first and wait for the crazy monk to finish his work.
He is not afraid of losing resources. The auction house keeps its reputation. Even if he wants to see the money, he will wait until he leaves Lingyin Temple before taking action. It is impossible to start a war in this temple. It is tantamount to openly provoking Buddhism.
Majesty, seeking death.
As for the crazy old man running away, he is not worried anymore. With the talisman as a traction, he will be able to detect the opponent as soon as he escapes, and then he can find the opponent and deal with it without even paying him.
He grabbed a passerby on the street and asked: "Amitabha, young monk Wuhu, would you like to ask the donor if you know where he is walking in the snow to find the tiger?"
"Walking in the snow in search of a tiger?"
"There are all taverns in Tianzihao. I can't believe that you, a quiet and honest monk like you, are still doing this kind of extravagance!"
"The world is really declining and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. Don't monks nowadays even cover up their drinking and eating meat?"
The man glanced at Li Xiaobai up and down, shook his head, sighed, and walked away.
Li Xiaobai scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed. He had just forgotten his identity. It was indeed something wrong.
But isn’t it normal for Buddhist monks to eat meat and drink alcohol? Why do they still need to cover up? I didn’t see anyone covering up when I was at Luohan Temple. They were all enjoying playing with women!
Following the direction pointed by the man just now, Li Xiaobai walked over.
Lingyin Temple is so big that the temples, shops, inns and houses that can be seen everywhere almost all look the same and can only be distinguished by the plaques.
Tianzihao is a fasting inn, which specializes in providing meals for monks and kindhearted people. It is said to be fasting food, but in fact it is a tavern.
There are all kinds of ingredients in it. Tianzihao is not a certain store, but a store title granted. Those who can get seats in Tianzihao are all long-established stores with first-class ingredients and first-class workmanship.
The Ta Xue Xun Hong is a flavor that only Tianzihao old restaurants are qualified to make.
"Su Zhai Pavilion!"
"That's it!"
Li Xiaobai randomly selected a loft. This building had no carved railings and was resplendent. It was built with a kind of simple and atmospheric wood, exuding a fragrance that calmed people's minds.
"Master, how many of you are here to invite?"
There was a boy in front of the door to greet the guests and said with a smile on his face.
"You two, just find a quieter place."
Li Xiaobai said lightly.
"Dele, master, please come in!"
The boy nodded, bowed and said loudly toward the inside: "Two masters, a secluded place!"
The two of them walked through the restaurant one behind the other. The restaurant had three floors. The waiter took him around the first floor, trying to find a secluded spot.
But this floor is overcrowded, so it's really hard to find a place with no one around.
"Amitabha, donor, I see someone sitting idle upstairs. Why don't you go up and take a look?"
Li Xiaobai said politely.
"Master, it seems this is your first time coming to Tianzihao Restaurant?"
"The master of the rules here doesn't know something. This is a Buddhist fasting place. The food is not divided into three or six grades, but there is still a difference. The higher you go, the more exquisite the dishes are, and the more financial resources are needed.
."
"So no matter who comes, they need to start tasting from the first floor and eat more than half of the delicacies on the first floor before they are eligible to enter the second floor. By analogy, I understand that the master wants to have a drink with friends.
, but I’m really sorry.”
The waiter said, the words were very euphemistic, but the meaning was obvious. It's your first time here. Who knows how much money you have in your pocket. If you go upstairs and order food, but can't pay in the end, wouldn't the restaurant lose money?
?
After all, this is the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, a place where Buddhist monks gather. It is not easy to directly inquire about financial resources, so I came up with a way to test it.
Li Xiaobai was speechless. It was just a meal. Why were there so many rules and regulations?
Isn't it just more expensive? He has plenty of money!
"Amitabha, please give me some pointers. I would like to ask what level of food is this "Walking in the Snow"?
Li Xiaobai continued to ask.
"Oh, Master, you are really discerning. This is Tianzihao's signature product. The wine contains immortal treasures. Just one sip can slightly improve your cultivation level. It is the best!"
"Although this dish is a signature dish, it is based on the principle of serving the public and does not deliberately make things difficult. You can taste it on the second floor."
The waiter said with a smile, his eyes scanning Li Xiaobai up and down, as if he was evaluating him. It was the first time for a monk to enter Tianzihao, and he had a clear purpose of tasting the food as soon as he came up. He was obviously not an ordinary person.
He should be a rich master, but the rules cannot be abolished. The richer the master, the more he has to stay and make more profits, and he can also take a commission from the profit!
"Amitabha, the young monk came here today to present a pot of walking in the snow to a friend. I wonder if the donor can do it for me?"
Li Xiaobai also said cheerfully, pretending not to understand the subtext.
"It's natural. Master's sincerity towards his friends can be seen from heaven and earth. How can I dare to disturb you? Master, I ask you to be calm and sit down on this floor for a while. I will go and ask for instructions."
, I’ll take the two of you upstairs when the master’s friends arrive at the dojo!”
The boy nodded and bowed, looking very respectful.
There was no fault in what he said or did, so Li Xiaobai could only accept it.
"Okay, the young monk will rest here for a while. Thank you to the donor!"
Li Xiaobai nodded, pulled up a stool and sat down, while the boy went to work elsewhere.
He had no intention of asking for instructions at all. It was obvious that he was just trying to stabilize him and wanted to wait for the crazy monk to come to the dojo and then evaluate his financial resources.
"It's not easy to open a store in the Buddhist world. It's all a matter of routine."
Li Xiaobai sighed in his heart. There was freshly brewed tea in the cup on the table. This tea was available on every table. It was just ordinary tea leaves. He took a sip and quietly felt the movements of the crazy old man.
"Amitabha, Master, do you need some snacks?"
Another young man came up to talk and asked with a smile.
"The young monk is waiting here, I don't need you for the time being."
Li Xiaobai waved his hand and did not bother to pay attention to the other party.
"I saw the master sitting here, and I specially brought a plate of snacks to express my feelings. I also asked the master not to refuse."
As if by magic, the boy took out a tray from behind and placed it neatly in front of Li Xiaobai.
This shop is really good at being a nice person. When customers are waiting for them, they also provide considerate services such as delivering pastries.
He nodded immediately.
"Thank you so much, donor!"
"Master, please take it easy. If you need it, you can call me again!"
The smile on the boy's face did not diminish, and he bowed and left.
Li Xiaobai picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite. It was silky, soft, and elastic. He couldn't tell what the ingredients were, but it felt great!
It is indeed a famous restaurant, even the small gifts that come with it are so delicious!
About half an hour later.
Li Xiaobai sensed that the talisman had stopped and started to move again. It seemed that the crazy monk had finished the transaction and started to go back to look for him.
He never told his whereabouts. He was thinking about whether to go back to find the crazy monk. The talisman in his hand was getting hotter and hotter, and the fluctuations were getting stronger and stronger. This was a sign that the two talismans were getting closer.
The next second, a monk in ragged clothes appeared outside the door of Tianzihao Zhaijie Pavilion, looking inward.
"Amitabha!"
"Master Wuhu, this poor monk is having a hard time finding you!"
"I have arranged all the things you told me. I am worthy of being a master who can live in the Tongtian Pillar. He has been true to his word and has been waiting for me at this Tianzihao for a long time!"
When he saw Li Xiaobai drinking tea in the corner, his eyes lit up. Ignoring the shocked eyes of the people around him, he trotted up to Li Xiaobai, pulled up a chair and sat down.
"Is everything done?"
Li Xiaobai asked.
"That's right. I'm a regular customer of the Treasure Pavilion where the poor monk went. As soon as I heard the poor monk's name, I opened a special passage and the deal was settled in less than an hour!"
The crazy monk's face was very excited, as if he was expecting something.
"Where's that thing?"
Li Xiaobai's face was very calm.
"If this doesn't work, I promise that the poor monk will be able to deliver the goods, otherwise the poor monk will not dare to deliver the goods!"
The crazy monk covered his chest and said warily.
"You haven't asked the master for his name yet?"
Li Xiaobai's eyes narrowed slightly, he managed the matter very quickly, and he was able to find this place directly without any information, which shows that the opponent's strength should not be underestimated.
Ordinary Buddhist monks cannot do this.
"Amitabha, the poor monk has been deprived of his dharma title. However, the poor monk has always been charitable and charitable. Everyone calls the poor monk Monk Jigong, and the master can also be called the same."
The crazy monk said.
Li Xiaobai nodded and said with a serious look: "It turns out to be Master Jigong. May I ask how Master Jigong knew that the young monk was in this Tianzi fasting pavilion?"
"There is no one within a hundred miles that a poor monk cannot find. A poor monk can tell whether he is a ghost or a ghost just by smelling it with his nose!"
Monk Jigong said proudly.
This nose is almost catching up with a dog's nose.
"Master Jigong's first visit to Tianzihao?"
Li Xiaobai asked with a smile.
"Yes, I was lucky enough to drink it once. The taste was, tsk tsk tsk..."
Jigong's eyes flashed with memories, and he said with a look of obsession on his face.
"This Tianzihao is divided into three levels. The one that Master Jigong wants is on the second level."
Li Xiaobai said calmly and waved to the old boy.
When the boy saw that everyone was here, he ran over and said apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Master Wuhu, I was scolded just now. The person in charge said that no matter who comes, the rules are the rules. If you don't want to follow the rules, there is no need to force it."
The boy said with an aggrieved face.
"How about you go somewhere else? There is a "Walking in the Snow to Seek Hong" in Tianzihao Restaurant."
The boy's eyes were rolling around, and the moment his eyes came into contact with Monk Jigong, he was full of disdain.
His clothes are in rags and tatters, and he also looks stupid. To a discerning eye, he will look like a stinky old beggar.
As the saying goes, those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are dark. No matter how well you raise people, you can make any kind of friends. To be able to play with this cheating and shabby monk, I guess this Wuhu monk is not much better.
Maybe they have some spare money, but there is no money to make money. Most of them just go up and order a pot of Snow Stepping and then leave.
They don't need such guests.
"rule?"
"What rules?"
"The poor monk only needs a pot of good wine. If he doesn't like the poor monk being dirty, he can pack it up and take it out to drink."
Monk Jigong didn't understand what happened and asked with his eyes wide open.
"Amitabha, Master, this is not about money. In fact, you two have to follow the rules to make it happen!"
"If everyone could be more liberal, our restaurant wouldn't be able to survive."
The boy said with a troubled expression, his words were very tactful, but the disdain in his eyes could be seen by everyone.
"The rules of Tianzihao are that you must order half of the ingredients on the first floor before you are eligible to enter the second floor. This is because the monk has no money."
Li Xiaobai sighed from the side.
"Snob?"
"That's not how business works. This little master doesn't know something. The poor monk has a lot of money, so he can still afford it just by walking in the snow to find a fortune!"
When Jigong heard this, he became anxious. Why didn't he let him go up? Why didn't he think he was poor? His pocket now contained tens of millions of top-quality rare earth resources. Not to mention a bottle of wine, he could buy the entire Zhaijie Pavilion.
It's nothing.
"Master, monks don't lie, but who do you think is a dog?"
"If you continue to be so messy, you will be rude. Please leave quickly and don't disturb other guests while they are eating!"
The boy's face also darkened, and he said coldly.
"Hey, isn't this Master Wuhu from Luohan Temple? Why do you come here to eat the King's meal in the Zhaiji Pavilion?"
"I still treat this place as my own. You have to pay to eat here. If you don't have the resources, don't waste time here. It will save you embarrassment!"
A sharp and harsh laughter came from behind. It was a monk from Tianyin Temple. After seeing Li Xiaobai and Monk Jigong, he laughed mockingly without hesitation.
Master Tianxuan led the team, and the monks from Tianyin Temple strutted directly to the second floor, leaving behind a provocative look.
"The monks of Luohan Temple!"
"It's actually Luohan Temple. I've heard that among this year's Buddhist Debate Platform team, Luohan Temple has seized the exclusive cave belonging to Lingyin Temple. It seems that they are well prepared!"
"I've also heard that I directly took away all the door numbers of Cave No. 6 along the Tongtian Pillar. This is full of confidence!"
"I didn't expect to meet him here. Isn't that shabby monk an old guy who always hangs around? Why is this monk from Luohan Temple getting involved with him?"
When the sarcastic words of the monks from Tianyin Temple fell on the ears of the surrounding monks, it was a piece of bombshell news, and the originally quiet Zhaijie Pavilion suddenly became lively.
