[Red House] Lixian

Wu Hai's cultivation base was not enough, Wei Qian taunted him, and immediately lost his composure, Wei Qian pursed his lips and smiled: "It seems that the monk's cultivation base is not much higher than mine."

Immediately, I felt relieved.Wei Qian has just become a celestial being, and she is full of spirits, so she has this kind of childish fighting spirit.He jumped into the gate by himself and raised the food box: "The holy monk is here, I will deliver food to him."

Wu Hai recited a Buddhist name, put down the broom, and led the way to the purple bamboo forest in the back mountain.

Avalokitesvara Temple, as the name suggests, this temple worships Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. There are not only Chaoyin Cave, Purple Bamboo Forest, but also Dragon Girl Bodhisattva and Shancai Boy's incense sacrifices.

The purple bamboo forest is modeled after the legendary purple bamboo forest in Luojia Mountain, South China Sea.In the depths of the quiet bamboo forest, a holy monk with white beard and beard was reciting scriptures.

This holy monk was older than Ling Wan, but his cultivation level was a head higher than Ling Wan's.Buddhist practice attaches great importance to reincarnation and reincarnation. This holy monk was a master of Zen in his previous life, and his previous life happened to experience the prosperity of Zhou Wu in the former Tang Dynasty.

As soon as he entered the bamboo grove, Wei Qian's smiling face disappeared immediately, and he felt a lot of pressure.

An invisible force field floats in the huge bamboo forest, bright, grand, and inviolable.His eyes fell on the holy monk in the depths, and a white-clothed Avalokitesvara immediately appeared in his mind: "Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form, form is emptiness, emptiness is form, and the same is true..."

This mantra exploded in his head, Wei Qian's spirit shook, and the Li Longzhu in his belly spontaneously protected him, and the warm current flowed from the lower dantian to his limbs and bones, restoring the clarity of the Lingtai.

Wei Qian was a young man who entered Taoism due to the fate of immortality, and his heart was arrogant, but now that he was beaten by the holy monk, he immediately understood the truth that there is heaven beyond the sky, cut off the frivolous thoughts in his heart, and said respectfully: "Xuanling Dao, Lingwan, I will pay my respects to Xuan Ning." A holy monk. The disciples are ordered by the master to come and deliver meals."

The holy monk twisted the Buddhist beads in his hands, and recited the Avalokitesvara heart mantra, concentrating on it, ignoring Wei Qian's words.

Holding the food box, Wei Qian waited for a stick of incense before flying away from her hand and landing next to the holy monk.

The food box opened by itself, and there was a talisman besides the two "Seven Treasure Pagodas" inside.

The Qibao rice made by Xuanyu is a famous dish in Doumo Temple.

The cyan rice tower is dotted with seven kinds of ingredients, and there are five colors of red, yellow, white, green, and black. The top is sprinkled with white sugar like fine sand, and the bright yellow honey juice drips slowly, exuding the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus. People have a big appetite.

After all, Wuhai was young, with impure desires, his nose moved, and he smelled the fragrance from a distance, so he took a few more glances at the Seven Treasures Pagoda.But the stand of Doumu Temple can also be seen from this dish.

Qibao Pagoda is essentially a practice of Babao Rice.

The herbs are collected from the mountains, squeezed out of the medicinal juice, soaked in glutinous rice, dyed blue and steamed. At this time, it is called Qingjing rice, which is a commonly used meal in Taoism.Then replace the seven treasures of Buddhism with candied dates, kumquats, peanuts, melon seeds, lotus seeds, wolfberry, and dried plums.First put a layer of green rice, then put kumquats on it, then put a layer of green rice, spread candied dates for the second time, put green rice, repeat seven times to fill the fruit material, pile up the seven-story tower, and continue Put on a steamer and cook over low heat.At the same time, open another stove to make honey with sweet-scented osmanthus and honey, sprinkle honey and sugar when it comes out of the cage, and you're done.

It's the same reason that Mrs. Dou is in the Buddhist and Taoist families.

The holy monk glanced at the two "Seven Treasures Pagodas", and his eyes fell on the talismans beside them.

"This talisman looks familiar!" I have personally experienced the great battle back then, and I can still think of the fight between the practitioners from time to time.

The 180 Buddhist temples were all destroyed, and the remnants of the Buddhist lineage were rebuilt, which was far less grand than it was then.Taoism has 36 caves and 72 blessed places, and now only ten caves are in charge of Taoism.However, Li Shan and other loose cultivators were forced to close the mountains and fly to the sky one after another. Nowadays, earth immortals are rare in the cultivation world, and human immortals rule the roost, which is the introduction that fell in the past.

"This talisman is left by the Tongyuan Sect of the Taiping Dao. It is named 'Huangtian Qilong Mantra'. It is a charm used to worship the Emperor Huangtian and channel the energy of the dragon and the earth." All sects are encircling and suppressing, where did you get this talisman?"

Wei Qian hurriedly told about her saving lives.

The holy monk was silent, looking at the two "Seven Treasure Pagodas" in front of him, this is not a meal for himself, this is clearly a bribe!

After eating these two "Seven Treasure Pagodas", you will be inseparable from the matter of Tongyuan Sect in the future!

Silently deducing the fate of the mortal world with the fate channel, it can be seen that the future of Doumu Temple will inevitably be involved in the catastrophe.The holy monk said: "A few days ago, the earth dragon overturned the mountains, and the dragon veins of Jinling emerged, but the situation of the trapped dragon is still there. It is necessary to sacrifice the blood of the dragon's son to break the Fengshui situation, change the world, and then set up the Dragon Court. You save that person. The sacrifice of this great sacrifice. Now that you rescued it, there is some karma involved in it, and in the future, I will have to walk in the world of mortals."

But Lishan relies on the dragon's veins, and every generation of mothers has something to do with the dragon's spirit. Even if Wei Qian didn't have this matter, she would still join the battle of the dragon court in the future.Perhaps it was God's will to save people, allowing her to take advantage of the opportunity to participate in the battle for the dragon.

After talking about the cause and effect, the holy monk stopped talking about secrets, but told Wuhai: "Go to the back and fetch some amparo fruits and bring them to her."

He did not dare to use the things sent by Doumo Temple lightly, but exchanged things with amparo fruits to cut off the possibility of contamination of karma in Guanyin Temple.

When Wei Qian heard the name Anbo Luoguo, she immediately thought of the legendary vermilion fruit and flat peach.

"Seeing that the name is so tall, could it be the legendary Western Buddha Fruit?" Wei Qian followed Wu Hai to leave the purple bamboo forest and came to another orchard.There are three or four fruit trees planted in one corner of the orchard.

The dense green leaves are dotted with yellow-orange fruits, which are shaped like kidneys and exude an attractive aroma.

At first Wei Qian followed excitedly, but when she saw this kind of fruit, she was surprised and said, "Is this the Ambrosia fruit?"

Wu Hai didn't understand, so he nodded: "Yes, this is the ampolo fruit, the fruit tree planted by the holy monk himself."

The corner of Wei Qian's mouth twitched, she often ate this amparo fruit in modern times, and it had another name - mango!

"This fruit comes from the Buddhist kingdom of Tianzhu, and it is the fruit that Master Xuanzang brought back from Tianzhu in the past." Wu Hai explained a few words, stepped forward and picked a bunch of fruits and handed it to Wei Qian: "This is a gift from the Seven Treasures Pagoda. "

Forget it, get mango, at least you can recall the taste of the previous life.Wei Qian comforted herself, and returned to Doulao Temple with the mangoes.

Afraid of trouble, Wu Hai directly cut off a branch from the fruit tree, on which hung six big yellow and orange awns.

Wei Qian immediately planted it in the yard behind the Doulao Temple after taking it back, and brought over the two senior sisters Xuanyun and Xuanyu.

"Senior Sister, I just got this twig from the Guanyin Temple. We might as well plant it and try it for ourselves in a few years."

When Xuanyu saw it, she didn't take it seriously: "If you really want to eat it, you can go to the Guanyin Temple to get it. Anyway, we make some vegetarian food and send it, and they won't accept our favor for nothing."

Xuan Yun also disagreed, "Growing this kind of thing is so troublesome, why should Junior Sister be busy with such absurd things? Cultivating well is more important than anything else."

The two refused to help, Wei Qian didn't know magic, so she picked the fruit in desperation, buried the branches in the soil, poured water on them and waited for them to take root.Then he went to look for Ling Wan with the mango in his hand, and let Ling Wan taste it.

Talking about this matter during the chat, he complained to the two senior sisters: "Is it the same to grow it yourself and take it from someone else's house? If we grow it alive, and pass down the method of planting, maybe we can let the public taste it together. "

"I'm afraid it's not easy to plant in the ground. I remember that there is a flower technique called grafting. You can choose a tree to graft, and then you can live better. Can't you borrow apples, pears, and peaches?"

An old family is like a treasure, Ling Wan has lived for so long, what is unclear?

The woman laughed and said: "Although we have the magic of rejuvenating a dead tree in the immortal way, it is very difficult to plant it, and others can't learn it. If you find a way to plant the Ambrosia fruit by mortal means, if there are fruit farmers to support the whole family because of it, It is also a meritorious deed of yours."

When it comes to merits, Ling Wan talked about some merits, such as the merits of ancient Shennong in planting five grains and so on.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. After hearing Ling Wan's words, Wei Qian was deeply moved: "Nowadays ordinary people are still worrying about getting full. If we can change crops and make every family have enough food and clothing, it will be a merit..."

Traveling to ancient China, what is the most common method used by the predecessors?If it is the Qingming period, needless to say, the cultivation of sweet potatoes and corn is the key object.

"I have traveled through these years, and I have been busy cultivating Taoism and becoming immortals every day, but I forgot one thing. The world of mortals is the foundation of humanity, and we must first cultivate humanity and then seek the way of heaven." Wei Qian remembered what Jia Mei once mentioned: "The Wang family often Going to Nanyang for trade, the things there are different from those in China, if you can find some crops or fruit trees that increase the yield, or go to the West to find corn and sweet potatoes, that would be great."

"Our family might as well take this opportunity to go to Nanyang for trade with the Wang family and build our own fleet." Wei Qian made a note to herself, and then asked to resign from the kitchen to find some food for the injured man in the room.

Ling Wan originally intended to leave a Seven Treasure Pagoda for the man, but it seemed that someone deliberately targeted it, and the remaining Seven Treasure Pagoda was not for the man, even Wei Qian was gone.

Looking around in the kitchen, Hongchun said: "Miss, Taoist Xuanjuan is really hateful. I told Master Xuanyu specifically to let her leave food for you, but I didn't expect that she was still taken away."

"Why, Xuanjuan ate three servings alone?"

"No, it is said that it is for pilgrims."

Wei Qian glanced at the kitchen and found that there was still a lot of dumpling fillings left at noon, so she made dough again, made dozens of dumplings and sent them to the man.

The man had been hungry for most of the day because of his limited mobility, and he had already woken up. When he saw Wei Qian bringing the food, he didn't say anything, and just wolfed it down.

"It's not nearly a grain of rice in two days, eat like you, be careful your stomach can't stand it." Wei Qian asked Hongchun to bring two bowls of dumpling soup, and watched the man pack up the dishes and prepare to leave after eating.

At this time, the man said: "When the girl is away, I listen to the conversation outside. It seems that someone doesn't like to stay here?"

"It's natural. My Doulao Temple is a quiet place for female cultivators, so men are naturally not welcome. When you get better from your injuries, I will send you down the mountain."

"Speaking of which, what's the name of the girl? I don't know the name of the girl in Xia Tujun."

"People outside Fang, just call me Xuan Ning." Wei Qian replied cautiously, not wanting to stay for long.She is really afraid of gossip when she is with a grown man!

"Xuan Ning? Speaking of which, a girl named Xuan Juan came here this afternoon, I don't know..."

"Why, did she come to trouble you?"

"No, I just said a lot of bad things about the girl. I also said that living here will damage the reputation of Miss Xuanning." Tu Jun spoke skillfully, putting himself and Wei Qian in the same camp: "But the girl I'm harming has a dispute with a group of fellow sects? Why don't I leave earlier?" Wei Qian naturally didn't want to chase people away because she wanted to retreat.

Wei Qian shook her head: "Senior Sister Xuanjuan and I don't have a good relationship." After all, Lingwan's favorite little disciple has practiced various immortal arts since the beginning, and he is still so young, so he really has the possibility of inheriting the mantle.Those senior sisters met, how many of them are not jealous?

Xuanyun is an old man, although Xuanyu is dissatisfied, but Wei Qian has her own way of doing things, so no one can make mistakes, and Xuanyu doesn't bother to argue with her.It's just that Xuanyu is a little unhappy about forcing the man to stay overnight today.But the people outside Fang are merciful, and Xuanyu has no intention of driving them away.But Xuanjuan is different. Xuanjuan was abandoned by her husband's family back then, and started practicing in Doulao Temple. Now she is still young, in her early 20s, the most cynical stage. She doesn't see Wei Qian living well, so she makes things difficult everywhere.

Wei Qian didn't bother to care about it, anyway, she was practicing in Doumo Temple, and the person she cared about was Master Ling Wan, so what did she have to do with Xuan Juan?

"You'll heal later, I'll take you down the mountain." Seeing that the man was thinking carefully, Wei Qian didn't want to wait any longer, so she packed up the dishes and left.
