The water pool is under the mountain bay on the back slope of the residence. It only takes ten minutes to walk to it. It is formed by the impact of water falling from the height of the rocks. The whole water pool is round in shape with a diameter of 20 to 30 meters, and there are about two or three meters in depth.
Meters deep, the water in the pool is clear and you can see the bottom, and the overall look is green. There are many and fat fish in the pool, one of them weighs several kilograms. We use a homemade fishing net to catch it, and there are several in one net, which is very easy to catch.
It took less than half an hour for the three of them to catch a few big fish, each weighing at least three or four kilograms, and then started to return. In fact, for the three of them, if they were really in a hurry, they could finish it in a few minutes.
, but for the three of them, catching fish to eat is only secondary. The most important thing is the fun. Otherwise, if they really eat it, for the group of people, the fish is just like that, although it is wild.
After returning home, the group of people officially started cooking. Jia Le killed a few more chickens and ducks. Taking advantage of the time, Lin Tianqi went to the surrounding mountains to hunt some pheasants and hares. When the game came back, he killed more than a hundred rabbits.
Lin Tianqi was worried that he would run out of food after one or two meals with his appetite, so he decided to pack some game.
With Lin Tianqi's current appetite, it is really not something that ordinary people can afford. If it were an ordinary family, Lin Tianqi would probably eat the whole family down in a day or two.
"Wow, Senior Brother, you have hunted so much game, so you are in for a treat today." Seeing Lin Tianqi come back after hunting so much game, Jia Le's eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately started boiling water again.
Those who peeled off the skin, and those who removed the hair. Uncle Jiu, Simu and Yixiu who were in the room also came out. Seeing the game that Lin Tianqi had brought back, Uncle Jiu and Simu looked as usual, while Yixiu couldn't help but clasped his hands in prayer.
After saying "Amitabha", Buddhism forbids killing. As a Buddhist, Ikkyu undoubtedly upholds this commandment, so when he saw the game brought back by Lin Tianqi, he couldn't help but said "Amitabha".
"Monk, you are an Amitabha Buddha again. I wonder if you Buddhists are bothered by the practice of knocking on sutras and chanting Amitabha Buddha all day long. You keep saying not to kill or eat meat. So what do you usually eat?"
Shimu immediately seized the opportunity to quarrel again and said that he and Ikkyu have been neighbors for decades and have been arguing for decades. As long as there is a chance, he will never let go of the opportunity to quarrel with each other. At the same time, he is really not happy with Buddhism.
"You keep saying that all living beings are equal and you cannot kill or eat meat. Then what are the rice and vegetables that you usually eat? Aren't these things that come from life? Come on, let's build a memorial arch like a son."
When Ikkyu heard this, he also glanced at Si Mu, but he did not argue with Si Mu: "Amitabha." Instead, he muttered another sentence, turned around and went back to the house without saying much to Si Mu.
"Tch, there's no way to refute it." Seeing the back of Yixiu walking into the room, his eyes looked like he had won a battle, he said proudly, then looked at Lin Tianqi and the other three and said, "Okay, you continue."
After that, he and Uncle Jiu returned to the side room. The three juniors, Lin Tianqi, Jiale, and Qingqing, continued to be busy in the kitchen. The rice was already cooked, but the next dish was a big project.
"By the way, senior brother, what are you doing here this time?"
Sitting in the side room again, after sitting down, he opened his mouth again and looked at Uncle Jiu. He knew the character of his senior brother best. He was definitely the kind of person who would come to your door for any reason. Although he had come from the north over the years,
After moving to Fengshui Town, he never came here on his own initiative. Most of the time, he went to Fengshui Town. As a senior, he was definitely the kind of person who would not take the initiative to come to visit.
So this time, although Si Mu was happy that Uncle Jiu and Lin Tianqi came over, he also knew that his senior brother must have other things and purposes, otherwise he would never take the initiative to come.
"I came here with Tianqi this time. I really have something to discuss with you. I originally planned to talk to you later. Since you took the initiative to ask, I might as well talk to you now."
Uncle Jiu thought for a while after hearing this.
"But what's the big deal, do I need to avoid it?"
When Yixiu heard this, he looked at Jiu Shu and said.
"No, it's not a secret and shameful thing. Fellow Taoists, just sit down together."
When Uncle Jiu heard this, he looked at Yixiu and said, this matter is not something that needs to be kept secret, and there is no need to avoid anything.
"I wonder what it is?"
He continued to ask with four eyes, looking at Uncle Jiu.
"It's like this. Nowadays, the domestic situation is getting more and more chaotic. The war has broken out. Tianqi plans to take us to Singapore. I have agreed. At the same time, I also want to move Maoshan there. This time, my intention is
I just go to the master's gate with Tianqi to discuss it with the master. I happen to pass by you and talk to you in advance to see what you mean, and then contact other people later."
Immediately, Uncle Jiu stopped hiding anything and revealed the whole plan and everything.
"Singapore, where is that place?"
After hearing this, Si Mu was stunned for a moment and blurted out directly. Not to mention the address of Singapore, he had never heard of the name.
Ikkyu next to him was also a little confused. In fact, people like them, who are cultivators, rarely pay attention to the current political affairs outside. Therefore, they are also the same about Singapore. They know nothing about it.
.
"Singapore is in Nanyang. It is a country established by Tianqi. Tianqi is now the president and head of state of Singapore. Most of the people living there today are also us Chinese..."
Uncle Jiu spoke again, patiently explaining the situation to the two of them.
"Nowadays, the domestic war is getting more and more serious. Even in such a mountainous place, I am afraid that the flames of war will spread sooner or later. Those of us who practice Buddhism cannot get involved in these national affairs. Rather than doing this, it is better to leave such a place of right and wrong.
, find a stable place to settle down, so I am going to take Tianqi to the master to talk to the master about this matter this time, and I will also tell you in advance."
After hearing the words, Shimu became slightly thoughtful.
Moving is not a casual thing for anyone, especially for the Chinese. Chinese people are very fond of homesickness. If it is not necessary, there are really not many people who are willing to move. Once they are familiar with a place,
Life is really not something you are willing to move easily.
But as Uncle Jiu said, the domestic war is getting more and more serious now. Although Simu and Yikyu don't care much about national affairs, they have been running outside these years, but they also know some external situations, and they know that what Uncle Jiu said is true.
Nowadays, the war in takeout is becoming more and more tense. If it continues, even if they live in these mountains and fields, they may not be able to avoid it.
"What do you think of Fellow Daoist Ikkyu? If Fellow Daoist is interested, why don't I go along with you?"
After finishing speaking, Uncle Jiu looked at Yixiu again.
"Amitabha, I would like to thank Brother Lin Dao for your kindness, but at this time, it is still difficult for me to make a decision."
Uncle Jiu nodded when he heard this. This was indeed no small matter. He knew that it was normal to be unable to make a decision for a while, and looked around again.
"What do you think, junior brother?"
Simu heard the words and thought for a while.
"This matter is of great importance. I think senior brother will discuss it with his uncle first to see what master means. Then he will call the other senior brothers and let us discuss it together."
Uncle Jiu nodded.
"Okay, then Tianqi and I will go to see Master first to see what Master means, and then we can discuss it."
Uncle Jiu was not in a hurry, knowing that this kind of matter could not be resolved at once.
In the kitchen, Lin Tianqi, Jiale and Qingqing were busy non-stop.
It wasn't until more than two hours later, around 11 o'clock in the morning, that everyone in the group was hungry and their stomachs were growling. The food was finally ready and put on the table. Three large tables were put together.
After finishing the meal, I put it away, and the time was directly at 12:10 noon.
"Dong——" "Dong——"
At this moment, a huge sound of bells and drums came from outside.
I saw a long team appearing on the mountain road a hundred meters away from the house, led by a Taoist priest in yellow wearing a Taoist robe and a Taoist hat, followed by a team of ten or twenty people, dragging a golden pot of rice on a carriage wheel.
The coffin wrapped in ink bucket net was pulled by several people in front and pushed by several people from behind.
At the back, there is a lifting chair, with a child dressed in official uniform sitting on it, being carried by several people in front and behind him.
"Dong——"
A long procession came, beating bells and drums, frightening countless birds flying along the way.
