Standing under the eaves, the rainwater rolls off the tiles, forming small streams of water.

The rain pattered.

Looking up at the sky, it's gray and it looks like it will rain for a long time.

It's okay to be idle anyway, why not go meet the old monk for a while.

Thinking in his heart, Qi Si walked along the corridor towards the direction where the old monk was.

Li Lanshang: "General?"

Qi Si said: "An old monk greeted me just now, I will go to see him."

The two walked around the corridor, passed the Hall of Heavenly Kings, and came to the place where the old monk was standing just now. There was a room there.Qi Si walked in, and at a glance he saw the benevolent Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva sitting in the center, and the old monk sitting cross-legged in front of Avalokitesvara, chanting sutras.

Hearing the movement, the old monk slightly opened his eyes and said, "You are here."

Qi Si asked curiously, "Master, are you talking to me?"

"General Qi." The monk sat cross-legged on the futon, with one palm upright in front of his chest, and his voice was slow and old.

Judging from his white eyebrows and beard, he seems to be very old, but his eyes are as clear and bright as a child's, as if he can see all the falsehoods in the world.

"Me?" Qi Si pointed to his nose, "Master knows me?"

The old monk nodded.

Do as the Romans do, Qi Si respectfully replied: "I don't know what to call the master? Did you know me before?"

"Amitabha, my next dharma name is Kongkong, and this temple presides over it." The old monk said.

Qi Si and Li Lanshang were taken aback at the same time. On the way to Tianjie Temple, Li Lanshang introduced the origin of Master Kong Kong to Qi Si, saying that he is over a hundred years old and has advanced cultivation. He is the national teacher of this dynasty. He was deeply relied on by the emperor.Unexpectedly, they met him as soon as they came to Tianjie Temple.

What surprised the two of them even more was that this Master Kongkong actually knew Qi Si.

"I have a double bond with the benefactor." Master Kongkong said, "The most recent time was when the general returned to the imperial court, and His Majesty rewarded him. I was honored to witness the general's demeanor."

"What about the first time?"

"Amitabha, the first time was five years ago. The benefactor wanted to avenge his father and brother. He followed Marshal Gu to the northwest. He asked the old monk to strengthen his martial arts in a short time. The benefactor knelt in front of the temple for three days and three nights. I have a predestined relationship with me, and my bones are unique, so I lent a secret recipe to the benefactor."

Qi Si opened his eyes wide, and hurriedly walked to the futon in front of him to sit down, and sat upright, "Master, you gave me the secret recipe to help me make great progress in martial arts?" "Amitabha." The old monk said, "The general came to Tianjie Temple today, didn't you Do you want to return the secret recipe?"

"Return the secret recipe? No." Qi Si shook his head and said embarrassedly, "Master, I have forgotten the past since Jingshan Treasure Hunting coma. If you hadn't mentioned it just now, I wouldn't even remember that you gave me the secret recipe. ...Huh? I'll go back and look for it, and see where the secret recipe is."

The old monk called Amitabha again.

Qi Sidao: "I was looking for Divine Doctor Zhang to treat my illness today. I didn't want to see heavy rain, so I came to Tianjie Temple to see the master. It can be said that I planted flowers intentionally, but unintentionally planted willows and willows to make shade. It happened by chance."

The old monk smiled, "Everything in the world has a predestined relationship."

The temperament of the old monk was unpredictable, Qi Si did not dare to be presumptuous, and listened respectfully.

The old monk asked again: "I don't know what disease the general wants to cure?"

Qi Si said embarrassedly: "I want to get rid of the acne on my face."

The old monk was startled, "Acne removal?"

Knowing that he was his benefactor, Qi Si said: "Not only do I want to get rid of acne, but I also want to lose weight. I have stopped taking the medicine made by that secret recipe."

There was a flash of surprise in the old monk's eyes, and he said, "So that's what it means, so that's what it means."

Qi Si: "?"

The old monk clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, today I learned that a regular visitor came to the door, and I have been waiting with burning incense. Only when I see the general will I know the meaning of the Buddha."

Qi Si didn't quite understand, that is to say, Master Kong Kong already knew he was coming?How did he know?

"General, please wait a moment." The old monk stood up, bent down and went to the back room. After a while, he came out with a piece of yellowed paper and handed it to Qi Si, "According to this prescription, three times a day, after half a month The general's face will be restored."

Qi Si took the paper and glanced at it. It was filled with medicinal materials, which should be a prescription.

"Thank you, master." Qi Si hastily saluted again.

"Amitabha, the rain is too heavy, the almsgiver will rest in this temple tonight."

Qi Sizheng didn't know how to speak, he was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Thank you, master."

The old monk closed his eyes, smiled at the corners of his mouth, and began to chant scriptures again.

Qi Si and Li Lanshang didn't dare to disturb them and left the room.

In the evening, the two rested in the temple, followed the monks in the temple to eat fast and chant Buddha, and listened to Master Kongkong's Zen lecture with a group of young monks. Of course, he couldn't understand anything and was drowsy.

The next day when the rain stopped, Qi Si and Li Lanshang donated some sesame oil money, bid farewell to Master Kongkong and left the mountain.

Back in Bianjing, Li Lanshang said: "General, although Master Kong Kong is a national teacher of this dynasty, he is highly respected, but I have never heard that he can cure diseases and save people. The general's prescription should be taken to the pharmacy for the doctor to have a look at." good."

"Ziwen is still careful." Qi Si boasted, and took the prescription to the medical clinic to see the doctor first. After learning that the prescription was not harmful, he took a few medicines back to the house and asked his servants to brew the medicine, but he went Searching here and there in the dormitory, I finally found another mezzanine in the dark compartment, and found a piece of yellowed paper from the mezzanine.The texture of the paper was exactly the same as the one given to him by Master Kong Kong, and dozens of herbs were written on it, presumably it was the secret recipe given to him by Master Kong Kong.

Without further ado, since Master Kongkong had already asked, he must have hoped that he would return the secret recipe, so Qi Si put away the paper and rushed to Tianjie Temple without stopping to return the secret recipe to Master Kongkong.

Going and going like this, three days passed by in a flash, and finally arrived at the time agreed with Xiao Min.

Qi Si dressed up carefully, wearing a thin black robe, combed his hair neatly, and tied it with a jade crown, he looked energetic and high-spirited.

The maid who dressed him sincerely praised, "The general looks very good, and since he lost weight, he has become more and more handsome."

Qi Si was happy to hear that, but a little uneasy, "I really look good like this? Don't coax me for money."

The maid covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "Then I don't want the general's reward, can it prove that I am telling the truth? General, you are really good-looking today, you are very powerful, and you have a special momentum. Miss Xiao must like it very much."

In the general's mansion, Qi Si didn't hide it from everyone. He often talked about Miss Xiao, Miss Xiao. Everyone knew that the general of our family didn't like the white willow in Bibo Pavilion, but liked a girl named Xiao instead.

The general is approachable, generous, and treats his subordinates very well. Everyone sincerely hopes that the general can find a beautiful wife, give birth to a big fat boy, spread branches and leaves for the general, and increase the popularity of the general's mansion.

To meet a master like the general is a blessing in his previous life.

Qi Si didn't know what the servants in the house were thinking, he only had Xiao Min in his heart, and after repeatedly asking someone to confirm that his clothes were correct, he calmly went out and went straight to the tavern.This time he didn't bring Li Lanshang with him because he thought about the world of two people.

On the road next to the tavern, the peach blossoms were scorching and gorgeous, clusters of pink clouds piled up on both sides, making the original mud-walled and blue-tiled tavern look like a paradise.

Entering the tavern, Qi Si looked around, but didn't find Miss Xiao, so he asked the waiter who was cleaning the table, "Excuse me, is your lady boss there?"

Xiao Er held a rag and said, "Yes. You are General Qi, right? The proprietress said that if you come to our place, we will take you to the backyard."

backyard?

Can I enter the backyard this time?

You must know that in ancient times, those who could be invited into the backyard were the closest people.

Does Miss Xiao regard him as an acquaintance?

Qi Si was happy, straightened his clothes, and went down to the backyard under Xiaoer's lead.

Going out through the back door, I saw that the backyard of the tavern was also full of peach trees, and Kazuki's peach blossoms were in full bloom, with pink petals covering the entire ground.There is a stone table under the largest peach tree. On the stone table is a jug of wine and two cups. A woman in a pink dress is sitting next to her. When she heard the voice, she raised her eyelashes and glanced at Qi Si. Clear, "General Qi."

The attitude is calm and breezy, calm and unhurried.

Qi Si was secretly happy in his heart, but he was very polite on his face. He suppressed his excitement, and walked calmly to the woman, "Miss Xiao."

"Sit down." Xiao Min said.

Qi Si sat down according to his words.

Peach blossoms fluttered down from the eyes, and happened to fall into the wine glass in front of her, floating above the liquid.

"The place Miss Xiao chose is really poetic." Qi Si tried hard to find a topic to break the silence.

"Poetic?" Xiao Min smiled, "Not bad."

"Girls love poetry and wine, so you can be considered elegant." Qi Si flattered him calmly.

"General Xie for your compliment." Xiao Min raised his glass, "I built the tavern here just because I like it."

Qi Si quickly raised his glass too.

Two people drink.

Qi Si said: "The girl is elegant."

Then he asked with concern: "I came today and saw that there was no customer in the tavern. How can we make ends meet in the long run?"

Xiao Min sighed sadly, "The general's words touched my heart, and I'm also worried."

Qi Si really thought of her, "To get rid of the current predicament, we must either move the tavern to a lively place, or find other business opportunities."
