Wuguantang is also called Zhaitang. To put it bluntly, it is the canteen where monks eat in the temple. Although the emperor came to Tianlong Temple to fast, it did not mean that he had to eat and live with these monks. This time, he made a special trip from the palace
Two royal chefs were brought to be responsible for the emperor's food for this month. As for the other guards, they did not have such a good fortune and could only eat a big pot of food with the monks of Tianlong Temple. Hu Xiaotian was treated the same way.
His current task is to lead the twenty guards to be responsible for the emperor's meals. Of course, he does not ask them to cook. There are two royal chefs who cook. They are responsible for supervising the safety of the meals throughout the process. Hu Xiaotian divided the twenty people into two
The team was on duty in shifts to ensure that nothing was missed. In fact, their side was the first level, and there was a second level when the food was delivered to the old emperor. They were checking every level to make sure nothing went wrong.
Tianlong Temple has more than 20,000 monks, and it is impossible to have only one dining hall. The dining hall in the west courtyard is provided to them. In the past, it was shared with the Sutra Pavilion. For safety reasons, the gates connecting the two sides are now locked.
Above, this dining hall is specially provided for their use. There are three meditation rooms next to the dining hall, which are provided for the temporary residence of these guards.
Although it was almost the second day after they settled down, preparing breakfast for the emperor had to start now. The two royal palaces also brought a lot of dishes this time. After getting familiar with the kitchen environment, they immediately started to light the fire.
Make rice.
There was no cook who came with them, so they had to turn to the guards for the work of lighting the fire and cooking the stove. Hu Xiaotian assigned four guards to help them, and six others were on duty nearby. The remaining ten went to rest first. Ten
Of course, Hu Xiaotian would not let go of the opportunity to use power for personal gain among his three meditation rooms. He chose one with the best conditions and occupied it, leaving the other two for them. Anyway, the guards did not treat him as one of their own, so Hu Xiaotian
Too lazy to share the joys and sorrows with them.
I returned to the room alone. Although it was the room with the best conditions, the conditions were very simple. Apart from a bed, a table, a chair, and two futons, the only decoration was a portrait of Buddha hanging on the wall.
.
Pushing open the lattice window, he happened to see the moon hanging high in the night sky. The moonlight was like water, falling silently from the window to the ground. Hu Xiaotian turned around and saw a Buddha's shadow reflected on the ground. He was stunned for a moment, and immediately woke up.
It was his own shadow, and he subconsciously touched his bare head with a wry smile on his face. He thought he would be able to see Murong Feiyan when he returned to Kangdu. He could renew his relationship with Bao Bao and have a romantic relationship with Long Xiyue.
They met by surprise, but everything was messed up by the old emperor. He suddenly set out to Tianlong Temple without any warning. Not only that, he also made himself look like this. It seems that he will be in Tianlong Temple this month.
Experience life in the temple.
Hu Xiaotian jumped into the air and crossed his legs in the air. He landed lightly on the futon and clasped his hands together. He looked like a Buddha. After running all the way from Kangdu to here, he was somewhat tired and wanted to
To recover as quickly as possible, he had to rely on the Wuxiang Magic Technique. Although Li Yuncong had just reminded him not long ago that the practice of the Wuxiang Magic Technique would face nine calamities, Hu Xiaotian didn't take it seriously. Li Yuncong was a scheming person. Who knew if he was deliberately alarmist and intimidating himself?
I thought this old eunuch was really cunning. He made two conditions for himself, but he couldn't help him fulfill even one of them. He obviously promised to let Bao Bao out, but Hu Xiaotian has not seen Bao Bao until today.
Recalling that Li Yuncong once said that there was an innate master in Tianlong Temple, Ji Feihua probably took the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" and exchanged it with him in order to ask the other party to heal his injuries. If Li Yuncong was telling the truth, then Ji Feihua was also possible
It's in Tianlong Temple, but Hu Xiaotian thinks this possibility is slim. According to what Li Yuncong said, Ji Feihua was seriously injured under the joint efforts of him, Hong Beimo, and Murong Zhan. How did Ji Feihua escape from the imperial city despite being seriously injured?
, passed through the layers of blockades and came to Tianlong Temple?
Hu Xiaotian dismissed the distracting thoughts in his heart and began to practice the Wuxiang Magic Art. After two weeks, he felt that his physical strength had never been stronger. Idleness was idle, so he might as well think of ways to torment these disobedient subordinates.
Opening the door and going outside, I saw several guards helping to chop firewood. They also traveled hundreds of miles from Kangdu to Tianlong Temple. They didn't get any rest. Hu Xiaotian even arranged to stay here overnight. All of them were busy.
He was exhausted and miserable, and he had a lot of complaints against the deputy commander in his heart.
Hu Xiaotian looked at how many of them had just chopped the firewood, and couldn't help but laugh: "They all look like girls, haven't they eaten?"
"Lord Commander, we have indeed not eaten, and we have been running all the way. It is about to dawn, and we have not even closed our eyes all night." The speaker was a chubby bald man, who had asked Hu Xiaotian and Tianlong in the palace before.
Is there a woman in the temple? His name is Zuo Tang, and he is the younger brother of Qi Danei. The relationship among the imperial guards is also very complicated. Although Murong Zhan is the leader of these people, he has a cold temperament and is not easy to get close to. What is wrong with him in daily life?
Most things are left to Qi Danei, so Qi Danei has a high prestige among the bodyguards. Although he has no official title, others regard him as the number two figure. Now that a deputy commander suddenly came, many people are interested in him.
Hu Xiaotian was not convinced.
Zuo Tang struck down with his axe, but the log was not split open.
Hu Xiaotian laughed and said: "Kong is so fat that he has no strength at all."
Zuo Tang was quite unconvinced: "Master Hu, people are not made of iron. There will always be times when we get tired."
Hu Xiaotian came to him and took the ax. He raised the ax to the log and chopped it down, splitting the log into two halves.
Only then did Zuo Tang realize that the new commander was very powerful, and judging from the way he used an ax, he should have martial arts skills. Hu Xiaotian said coldly: "Don't make excuses if you are useless. Also, remember it all for me."
Well, His Majesty asked us not to disclose our identities. From now on, everyone in Tianlong Temple will call me Senior Brother!"
"What?" All the guards were stunned.
Hu Xiaotian stood up to chop wood and struck it down with the axe. It was not that he wanted to work. When he swung the ax, his inner strength naturally poured into his arms, and chopping logs actually gave him a hearty feeling. Hu Xiaotian also did not think about chopping wood.
Unexpectedly, he was able to get pleasure from chopping, so he simply took off his monk's robe and started doing it in his underwear. Hu Xiaotian set an example, and the guards naturally did not dare to be lazy. They continued to chop wood with a frown on their faces, feeling sorry for the deputy in their hearts.
The commanders were all puzzled, this guy obviously had too much energy.
By the time of the fourth watch, they had finished chopping the logs in the yard, and several guards were stacking the chopped logs.
At this time, a young monk came to Wuguan Hall. He was Mingsheng, the former supervisor here. Although he handed over Wuguan Hall to the people of the imperial court, he still came over every day to check on the situation and see if there was anything he could do to help.
After hearing Mingsheng introduce his identity, Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Master Mingsheng, we are new here and don't understand the rules in the temple. We hope Master Mingsheng can give us some guidance."
Mingsheng smiled and said: "I don't have any advice. The abbot asked the young monk to come here just to talk to the donors..." At this point, he saw the guards who had been dressed as monks and couldn't help but want to laugh. Except for these people, there are no ring scars on their heads.
It doesn't look any different from them.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Master Mingsheng, we will do whatever you do on weekdays."
Mingsheng said: "Seriously?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Of course."
Mingsheng said: "According to our past rules at Wuguan Hall, we have to go fetch water at this time."
"Fetch water?"
Mingsheng said: "There are buckets in the backyard. Part of the water brought is for the use of Wuguantang, and part of it is poured into the reservoir next to the vegetable field. In the past, these were things that we monks in Wuguantang needed to do. Now..."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Now that we are here, of course it will be taken care of by us."
"really?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded. When a group of exhausted guards behind him heard Hu Xiaotian's request to fetch water, they all suddenly frowned and cursed secretly that the deputy commander was sick and had to find something to do when he had nothing to do. They were here to protect the emperor, not here.
Worked as a handyman for Tenryuji Temple.
Hu Xiaotian simply wants to take the opportunity to rectify these guards. They exclude me one by one and do not listen to my command. Okay, I will deal with you one by one. I will conquer your bodies first, and then your will. I will keep you for three days.
These grandsons are obedient to me.
Zuo Tang said: "Sir..." The next words changed because of Hu Xiaotian's vicious gaze: "Senior Brother, it's almost dawn, and it's about to change the shift. Should the water-carrying matter be replaced by a few of them?" The rest
The nine guards nodded one after another.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Get them up and take over the duty, and let's go fetch water."
A group of guards complained incessantly and mentally greeted the eight generations of Hu Xiaotian's ancestors. However, he was their leader after all, and he had to obey his orders because of his high official rank.
Monk Mingsheng took them to the backyard. When they saw the large wooden buckets placed against the wall, the guards were dumbfounded. The buckets were larger than two ordinary buckets and had no carrying poles. What was even more depressing was that,
The bottom of this bucket is pointed, which means that not only does it have to be carried with bare hands, but it is also impossible to rest in the middle.
Hu Xiaotian originally thought that the buckets in Tianlong Temple were iron buckets like those in Lingyin Temple. When he saw the buckets in front of him, the difficulty was much lower than expected, but even so, it was enough for the guards. Monk Mingsheng stepped forward and picked up two buckets.
With only a bucket, Hu Xiaotian followed. After walking two steps, he saw that the guards were still indifferent. He sneered and said: "If anyone doesn't follow, I will punish him for the crime of disobeying the order when I turn around."
A group of guards were so depressed. When did the emperor give them the order to carry water? This guy was basically pretending to pass on the imperial edict, but no one had the courage to argue with Hu Xiaotian, so they picked up the buckets one by one and followed Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian is no stranger to this way of carrying water. He has seen it in movies when he was a child. The monks of Shaolin Temple all carry water like this.
