As soon as the two entered the tea house, they immediately became the focus of the gathering. To be precise, the one who attracted the most attention was the monk Shanyin. There are many monks in the north, but they usually stay in temples and rarely show their faces outside. Perhaps it is because of religious culture.
The difference is that the warrior monks in the North highly respect the monks.
There were not many guests in the teahouse. There were 9 people at two tables, five warriors from the North, and four others whose looks were somewhat different from those from the North. They should be warriors from the Central Plains, and they were also looking at the monk Shanyin.
"Two guests, would you like to have something to eat? The vegetarian food here is excellent. There is no other restaurant in a fifty-mile radius that can have vegetarian food as delicious as ours." The owner of the restaurant is a woman who still retains her charm.
The wrinkles between her eyebrows and the corners of her eyes betray her age.
Chen Guang said: "Give this master a vegetarian dish, and give me some meat dishes, ten kilograms each of beef and mutton. Don't be short of a kilogram or two."
The landlady twisted her waist and said with a generous smile: "My guests are really good at joking. No matter how short of money I am, I don't dare to mess up my sign. You will serve the dishes to the two guests right away."
The charming proprietress of the restaurant is a woman from the Central Plains. After learning the identity of the monk Shan Yin, the people in the North will not call the guests guest, but the mage. There are not so many taboos in the martial arts of the Central Plains. Opening the door to do business, all entry-level people are welcome.
I'm a guest.
But it's interesting. Women in the martial arts world of the Central Plains are said to be more reserved and gentle. Generally speaking, even if they get married, they rarely show up in public. Although this person is a woman from the Central Plains, she has the boldness of a Northern woman.
"Master, drink tea." Chen Guang picked an empty table and sat down. He poured a cup of tea for Shan Yin, and then poured himself a cup. His perception scanned the teahouse like a peripheral vision, and he frowned slightly.<
/p>
The eyes of those people were so unscrupulous.
As soon as his eyes moved there, the eyes of those people moved elsewhere. This is a sign of guilty conscience.
"Master Shanyin, it seems that someone has regarded us as prey. What do you think we should do?" Chen Guang asked softly with a smile.
Shan Yin said: "It doesn't matter whether he is a hunter or a prey. Donor Chen, those people seem to be warriors from the Central Plains. Would you like to say hello? Maybe we can avoid some unnecessary conflicts."
Chen Guangzhi waved his hand, "Forget it. They and I are strangers and have no contact at all. If they really use their brains, I don't mind cleaning up some scum. If the mage feels sorry, you can go and remind them."
"It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with good words. It's useless to talk too much." Shan Yin said.
Chen Guang smiled and said nothing.
He obviously heard what the four men from the Central Plains were whispering, but he didn't expect Shanyin to hear it clearly. There are always some people who think of themselves as good people and think about evil ways. These four people were clearly eyeing Chen Guang's belongings.
, such as tiger sword.
"The food is here." The proprietress put two large plates of beef on the table and introduced: "Sir, this is the shop's signature white yak meat. It is delicious and juicy, fat but not greasy. It is truly the best in the world." Chen Guang took a taste and realized that he was exaggerating.
It tastes good, but not the best in the world.
Shan Yin ate his fasting meal slowly and didn't know what he was doing. Maybe in the eyes of others, this is the style that an eminent monk should have, but after getting along with him these days, Chen Guang knew that this was not an eminent monk at all. He clearly had four limbs. Lazy, Wolong Temple has no rules for eating slowly.
"Don't you want to try beef and mutton?" Chen Guang picked up a piece of beef, dipped it in soy sauce, sucked it into his mouth, chewed it gently, and the aroma was overflowing, and then said slowly: "Anyway, you have already gone down the mountain. The temple's Rules and regulations can't restrain you. As the saying goes, you will not be exempted from your fate. Anyway, the old monk is not watching, and he won't notice if you eat it."
Shan Yin shook his head and ate the fasting meal with great taste, "The fasting is in the heart. If the fasting is broken because of a momentary desire for food, what's the point of keeping the fasting?"
Chen Guang smacked his lips, "I can't help you, if you don't want to eat, I will."
Chen Guang has a huge appetite. He can eat thirty or forty kilograms of minced meat in one meal. Not only Chen Guang, but also warriors have huge appetites. One meal can last half a month.
After finishing his meal, Chen Guang brought some cooked food with him. When he paid the bill, he had a toothache. This meal was not made of monster material, but it cost two hundred taels of silver. It was also a loss for his family's strong financial resources, otherwise he would have to say "black shop" "No, the price is too expensive.
The landlady kindly reminded: "Those deer-headed and rat-eyed guys have been staring at you, and I'm afraid it will be detrimental to you. If your trip is not urgent, stay in the small shop for now, and wait until those people lose their patience before setting off."
Chen Guang smiled, narrowed his eyes, and said: "Thank you, boss lady, for reminding me, but I have a tough life and I can't take away some soldiers and crabs. The two of us will not hinder your business."
Not even a minute after they left the teahouse, the men couldn't bear their loneliness and followed them. The five out-and-out Northland men shook their heads, and someone suffered another disaster.
The landlady sighed, why didn’t you listen to the advice?
The two of them walked for dozens of miles in silence, not because they were wary, but because they said everything they needed to say, including Shanyin's understanding of martial arts. Don’t mention it.
Chen Guang shook his head, "What a bunch of rats, they've left the teahouse forty miles and still haven't done anything. Master, those people's halls are darkened, their evil spirits are very strong, and their hands are contaminated with human lives. Why don't you take action to help them enter Buddhism?"
The good cause said: "Buddhism is not a virtuous hall, and a young monk cannot save people who commit evil crimes. What a young monk can do is to send them down to see Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and let the venerable Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva save them from reincarnation."< /p>
"Isn't Buddhism very particular about putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately?"
Shan Yin was startled, "Wolong Temple doesn't have such a statement."
"Really? I remembered it wrong." Chen Guangdao.
However, Shangyin kept saying that sentence: Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately.
This sentence contains Buddhist teachings. Which temple’s verse is it from?
Rustling.
There was a sound of rustling around, and the two stopped at the same time. They saw four people surrounding them. The man with missing teeth in front said coldly: "You two, don't walk in a hurry. The mountains are high and the roads are far.
Bandits are rampant and it's too dangerous for you to go out on the road like this. Why don't we, brothers, protect you for a small reward?"
Chen Guangdao: "Don't say any unnecessary words. The more high-sounding you are, the less particular you are. The four of you must be casual cultivators in the Central Plains martial arts world. They have done business in the Northland, which is really amazing."
The leader said: "Don't be nagging, hand over your belongings and spare your life, otherwise you will be unable to survive and die."
Chen Guang spread his hands and said, "The same old thing. Will the mage take action? I don't mind letting you do it."
Shan Yin shook his head: "Monks are compassionate and do not kill indiscriminately. I leave the killing to Donor Chen."
Chen Guang clenched his fists and said, "Well, then I will do my part."
