Super System in Chutang

When he woke up, the sky was clear and bright, and Li Xingzhi had never slept so well since he grew up.

He looked at the Buddha statue in the middle of the temple. Although more than half of its head was missing, the craftsmanship was still quite exquisite. He didn't know why it was so abandoned.

Seeing that Little Dog Dan was sleeping soundly, he quietly walked out of the temple gate without waking him up.

The morning air has a hint of coolness, which makes people feel particularly clear-headed. Walking to the small lake, a gust of wind blows, and all the surrounding reeds and grass are blown away by the wind, layer by layer, like waves, and the mirror lake also rises.

There were slight ripples. At this moment, the sky looked extraordinarily blue and vast. A thousand years later, such a blue sky and such a calm small lake would no longer be seen often.

For the first time, I discovered that life can be so beautiful.

In the evening of this day, Li Xingzhi and Gou Daner were eating turtle stewed with wild vegetables again. Although they were a little tired of eating, they could only make do with it. Gou Daner may have never eaten anything good before, or maybe Li Xingzhi often

The reason for doing it differently is that even now I still drool when I see it.

There are a lot of turtles by the lake, big and small. Li Xingzhi was puzzled at first - why do people here have such a high standard of living that they don't even bother to eat turtles! Later, Little Dog Dan explained that they didn't even eat them here.

Turtles are usually killed directly when they are seen. Sometimes they are also used to feed chickens.

Li Xingzhi was speechless for a while. He didn't know whether it was because eating turtles didn't become popular in the early Tang Dynasty, or they didn't eat turtles here. Also, in the early Tang Dynasty, when raw fish stews were still eaten, and people didn't even know how to cook, even if some people ate

It’s rare for turtles to be popularized—it takes a lot of effort to prepare only two lumps of meat. Especially if you don’t know how to prepare it, your mouth will definitely be full of fishy smell, which will make you feel sick and want to vomit!

At this time, the aroma of the big old turtle cooked by Li Xingzhi had filled the entire small temple and spread out with the wind. This was no different than when he first arrived, when he even drank the turtle's blood raw just to supplement his nutrition.

As Li Xingzhi discovers more and more ingredients and has more and more cooking experience, his cooking skills have reached the level of a master. Naturally, the turtles he cooks are also extraordinary, and can even reach the standard of fourth-level dishes.

, however, the development of cooking skills has also become slower and slower.

"Slow down, slow down!" Just as the two were about to share the delicious giant turtle, a loud voice came from outside the temple, so powerful that the dust in the temple rose.

While the two people in the temple were still in a daze, a tall figure appeared in the temple. He ignored the heat wave surging on the pottery pot and scooped the hot pottery pot into his arms.

Li Xingzhi was surprised. Seeing that the visitor did not seem to have any ill intentions, he said calmly: "Who are you? How come you want to take away food from us two beggars?"

"Beggars? I didn't know there was such a white and tender little beggar."

Fair and tender? Damn it! I, an upright man, was called a pretty boy! Li Xingzhi felt a chill from the man in front of him.

For more than half a month, Li Xingzhi and Dog Dan have been eating the old turtle soup every day, and their health is getting better and better. Although they are not yet strong, their faces are rosy. Coupled with the habits Li Xingzhi brought from modern times, Go Dan'er is getting better and better.

He and himself took care of everything, even the temple and the Buddha statues were slightly cleaned - although it was still shabby, it was much neater and cleaner. Finally, coupled with Li Xingzhi's unusual temperament, even if he took a shabby

Even if he sits on the street, no one will necessarily give him money to eat! "Tsk tsk - I think these two little friends are also extraordinary people!"

At this time, the dust dispersed, revealing a big bald donkey.

I saw the bald donkey with a shaved head and no dust, a fat head and big ears, a belly as big as a bell, plump lips, and an inexplicable smile on his square face, which was really very joyful. He was wearing a green monk's robe.

There was a black light gourd hanging on his waist, and a large magnolia-colored cloth bag was carried on his back, which was dusty from all the travel. One hand was still protecting the large clay pot, as if someone was trying to rob him...

Little Dog Dan next to him also saw the monk's appearance clearly, and the hand that had been holding Li Xingzhi's clothes tightly relaxed a lot.

But Li Xingzhi didn't dare to relax at all. After all, this was the first stranger he met in this world. He knows people well, but not their hearts!

"Hey, little brother, don't be so nervous. Today, little monk, I'm just here to ask for alms and find a place to stay." He seemed to see Li Xingzhi's precautions and fears.

"Ha! It turned out that he was a monk who came to ask for alms, but somehow he came to the ruined temple and robbed our food." When Li Xingzhi saw what he said, he also thought about it - the big monk was big and round, and he had to deal with two people.

What else does a half-year-old child need to do?

"Haha! You're a 'monk', but I've suffered all my life, great monk." The big bald donkey didn't answer, but said something as if reciting sutras, which made Li Xingzhi confused.

In later generations, the word "monk" refers specifically to male monks and is a neutral term. However, in the Tang Dynasty, it was greatly praised. The big bald man dared to "suffer", which obviously means that his status is not low among a group of skinheads.

.

Since he didn't understand, Li Xingzhi simply ignored it and just thought he had met a crazy monk.

"Monk, I made the soup with an old turtle. We are a little weak, so we can replenish our body. Seeing that you are full of energy, you won't have anywhere to relieve your anger when the time comes!" Li Xingzhi said with amusement, holding back his anger.

"What? There's an old turtle in this?!" The monk didn't expect that such a fragrant thing was made from a turtle that even old dogs wouldn't eat. He turned sideways and said to Li Xingzhi: "Don't think that I am a monk."

I don’t know what your intentions are. I’ve eaten the wolf meat and tiger whip just the same, and why am I afraid of you, a young turtle like you?”

"Aren't you a monk? How do you eat meat?! Are you a meat-and-wine monk?" Li Xingzhi asked in return.

This is a hornet's nest.

"Hmph! Boy, did you hear that monks can't eat meat from that bastard?! I've only heard of people who abstain from meat, but I've never heard of Lao Shizi abstaining from meat! If you don't explain it clearly to me, monk, I

I will pester you every day and make you unable to live in peace." He paused and then said: "How can you have the strength to practice martial arts if you don't eat meat? When the saints conquered the world, did they rely on a few rotten eggs who lived on a vegetarian diet every day?"

But it turns out that a few decades ago, Emperor Wu of Liang, who was mentally retarded but believed in Buddhism, almost choked to death on a bone while eating. He was moved in his heart and promulgated the "Essence of Alcohol and Meat", claiming that this matter would benefit living beings and have great consequences.

Compassion, great merit!

All the monks who did not follow him in abstaining from alcohol and meat were taken away by Emperor Wu of Liang. Even a few meat-eating monks left his territory and went north.

One of the most famous is Patriarch Nadharma, who was coaxed to cross the river with a reed in order to have meat to eat!

Although Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty had been dead for decades, the "Essay on Stopping Wine and Meat" spread to the Tang Dynasty. Under the promotion of caring people, its influence became more and more powerful. Gradually, some monks in the north began to become vegetarians. Therefore, what we have in front of us is

A big bald donkey who likes to eat meat and drink wine started to dance!

"Hey, I don't know, I just heard by chance that the monk wants to be a vegetarian." Li Xingzhi looked at the monk anxiously, fearing that if he got anxious, he would actually come over and give his small body a squeeze, and he would die.

"However, what I heard from the master today was really enlightening. It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books!"

"You are quite enlightened!" This flattery made the monk feel very happy!

"Master, I see you put your hand into the fire but it doesn't feel hot. Could it be that you have practiced some unique martial arts?"

"You are so careful," the great monk said, "I was born in Zen Buddhism, and I have learned the Shaolin Yi Jin Jing very well!" Then he smiled again and said, "Hey, if you can join my sect, you can learn it.

"….

"Am I a genius? I can learn the Shaolin Temple-Suppressing Miraculous Yi Jin Jing at a beginner's level!" Li Xingzhi thought to himself. Obviously, in his eyes, the Yi Jin Jing is the temple-suppressing treasure in martial arts novels, and it cannot be passed down to anyone but the master.

Good stuff.

"Since your Yi Jin Jing is a unique skill, why did you pass it on to me like this?" Li Xingzhi thought and asked.

"Hey! What do you mean, just pass it on to you like this? You have to be able to get into my door!"

"Could it be that I am a genius?"

"Hey! You brat knows how to boast." The great monk glanced sideways at Li Xing and said, "Your muscles and bones are pretty good, but they are far from the prodigy you were that day. Besides, in the Yi Jin Jing, as long as you can endure hardships,

, I can learn all aspects of Zen Buddhism!”

"I thought it was some kind of unique skill." Li Xingzhi muttered in a low voice.

Only Little Dog Dan didn't say anything and kept listening with interest.

"Hmph!" The great monk snorted dissatisfied and said: "Hot and cold are suitable. Let's eat first."

He was already so greedy that he didn't care about Li Xingzhi and Little Dog Dan. He took out a black bowl from nowhere and took a big spoonful of it. Half of the jar was gone!

Li Xingzhi didn't dare to let him scoop it out anymore, so he quickly grabbed the big clay pot and divided the rest.

After eating the big turtle, the three of them were still a little unsatisfied.

"Boy, you are so stingy with just such a small amount." The great monk patted his belly. Obviously, with just such a small amount of food, it was not enough to fill his stomach.

"Great monk, it's not okay to eat and drink for free all the time!" Li Xingzhi looked at the bald man's natural look and felt a little unhappy.

"Humph! He is indeed a cunning boy." The monk seemed a little embarrassed and hesitated. Li Xingzhi was about to give him a way out, but the monk spoke first, "If you can play with some more food, let me have a full meal."

, I will give you half of this gourd wine."

"Okay, don't regret it then!" Looking at the monk's expression, Li Xingzhi knew that there must be something good in the gourd!

"Huh! Monk, how can I regret what I said? But don't make a big pot of soup to fool Monk." The great monk seemed a little dissatisfied, as if he was reluctant to part with the pot of wine.

Li Xingzhi didn't say much, and got up to prepare the ingredients. Unfortunately, there was no salt or oil in this wilderness. No matter what he did, the taste was naturally inferior. But fortunately, the great monk didn't ask for much, he just wanted a full stomach.

That's all..
