When Yang Ning left the Guangming Hall, the little monk Zhenming was still waiting outside the hall. The weather was already quite cold and the road was not very clear. However, the little monk Zhenming was very familiar with the path and led the way back to Yang Ning. Arriving at the courtyard of Tianbao Peak, the young monk Zhenming remained silent all the way.
After entering the house and lighting the lamp, the young monk Zhenming said: "Junior brother Ning, it turns out... it turns out that your martial arts is so high. Before, you just... just gave way to the young monk."
Being able to take action when Daguangming Temple was in danger and protect Jingxin Pavilion from outsiders, Zhenming, who made the temple his home, was full of gratitude to Yang Ning, and Yang Ning was able to defeat Bai Yuhe with one move. It made Zhenming feel in awe, thinking that Yang Ning was hiding something secretly.
Yang Ning laughed. He knew that this little monk was honest and kind, and he must be in awe of him at this moment. He asked: "Little monk, have you heard of Baiyun Island before?"
Zhenming said honestly: "The master mentioned it to the young monk, but he didn't say much. The master just said that there are several great masters in the world with incredible martial arts skills. The master of Baiyun Island is one of them. The master of the island has lived in the East China Sea all year round. There are very few outlying islands on Baiyun Island…”
"Grand master?" Yang Ning asked curiously: "What does that mean?"
The young monk Zhenming said: "The great master is a powerful figure whose martial arts are extraordinary. The master told the young monk privately that even if those people hold a leaf in their hands, they are invincible. The master said that the master's martial arts have also already reached the peak of the world. Very impressive, but still far behind those great masters."
"How many more are there?" Yang Ning said in astonishment: "You mean, in addition to Baiyun Island Master, there are... other great masters?"
Young monk Zhenming nodded and said: "Master said there are at least three or four people. In addition to the master of Baiyun Island, and the Dharma King Zhuri of the Qinghai-Tibet Snow Mountain, the master has not mentioned the names of the others, but they must all be very powerful people. "
Yang Ning frowned and said: "The Dharma King Zhusun of the Qinghai-Tibet Snow Mountain? What is this person's background?"
"The young monk doesn't know either." The young monk Zhenming said, "But when the master talked about them, he said that these people should not have appeared in the mortal world."
Yang Ning smiled and said: "That's strange. Is your master jealous because his martial arts skills are not as good as theirs?"
"Amitabha, Junior Brother Ning must not say that." The young monk Zhenming said immediately: "Master has no ambition to be competitive. For so many years, the young monk has lived here with the master. The master is pure-hearted and has few desires. He only occasionally talks to the young monk in his free time. And some external things. The master has no jealousy towards those people. He just said that if a person's martial arts exceeds the limit of the physical body, then he is not an ordinary person, but a monster. Such monsters, if they exist in the world, will do more harm than good. .”
At this moment, I saw little monk Zhenming frowning and whispering: "There is someone outside!" He had already stood up.
Yang Ning asked: "Is your master back?"
"If it's the master, the young monk won't notice the movement at all." Zhenming said honestly: "There are very few people here, so the young monk goes out to take a look."
He went out, and Yang Ning reached into his arms to search carefully, and his face suddenly became solemn.
Today, he was in the limelight in Guangming Palace. In the final analysis, it was the sword pictures he got at the old house that played a role. Yang Ning remembered that after sorting out the dozens of sword pictures, he carried them with him when he returned to the capital. He didn't even find a place to hide them. I met Qi Yu's mother and son showing off their power in the Hou Mansion.
After that, he expelled Qi Yu's mother and son, and parted ways with the Qi clan. Before he could put away the sword map, he suffered internal injuries and no one knew what happened.
He remembered that the Da Zi Sword Diagram should be carried close to his body in his arms. After waking up, he was in the room of Daguangming Temple. At that time, he really did not think of the Da Zi Sword Diagram. When he thought about it now, he found that the sword diagram was no longer there. In my arms, I lost my trace.
His heart sank.
At this moment, I heard a voice coming from outside: "Junior brother Qi, haven't you rested yet? Just in time, we made some midnight snacks and brought them to junior brother to fill his stomach." Then he saw Makabe coming in with a smile on his face, behind him Following the fat monk from the Five Grain Hall, the fat monk was holding a large food box in his hand, with his waist slightly bent and a smile on his face.
Yang Ning glanced at it, but didn't expect it to be someone from Wugutang. He didn't get up. He just said lightly: "Isn't this senior brother from Wugutang? Why, haven't you rested yet?"
"No, no." Makabe smiled brightly, "Junior brother Qi, today you used your sword to eliminate evil. The whole temple is filled with joy. We are afraid that we will not be able to sleep for days and nights." He turned to signal the fat monk to bring up the lunch box. , he sat down on the stool opposite Yang Ning with his buttocks on one side. Before he could say anything, he saw that Yang Ning was already frowning. He stood up hurriedly and said with a smile: "Junior brother Qi, look what we gave you?"
The fat monk was about to open the food box when Yang Ning raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute!" After looking at Mabi for a moment, he said, "Senior Brother Mabi, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd?"
"Junior Brother Qi, please don't misunderstand." Zhenbi said: "We were offended a lot today in Wugutang. After much thought, we realized that we did something wrong. That's why we came here to apologize to Junior Brother Qi. Junior Brother Qi is the Crown Prince of Jinyi. , well-informed and broad-minded, he will definitely not be as knowledgeable as us."
"Oh!" Yang Ning half-smiled, "Are you here to apologize? This is unexpected."
Makabe smiled and said: "Junior brother Qi, take a look at what you have done first." He glanced at the fat monk, who had already taken out the dishes one by one, "This is jade tofu, this is purple bamboo shoots, Qi Junior brother, look, this is the mushroom cup, and here are the fairy beans, the five treasure fungus, the wishful monkey mushroom, and this last one is called the three-color jade scroll!"
Yang Ning only saw that after the dishes were put on the table, they were fragrant. Although they were all full of ingredients, they had to admit that every dish was full of color, flavor and flavor. It was rare that they sent it from the Five Grains Hall and the decorations were so good. The dishes were not messed up.
When Zhenming saw it on the side, his eyes widened and he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Makabe, are these...are these all dishes in the temple? How come the young monk has never seen them before?"
The fat monk laughed beside him and said, "This is the food cooked by Brother Mabi himself. You have to know that even those uncles and masters don't have this kind of food on weekdays. Unless they retreat to meditate, Brother Mabi will cook for them alone. The presiding uncle is doing Zen meditation these days, and the daily meals are cooked by senior brother Mabi himself. You have only been in the temple for a few years, but you can still eat the dishes cooked by senior brother Mabi?"
Yang Ning coughed, and Mabi's face immediately darkened, and he cursed at the fat monk: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why can't Junior Brother Zhenming eat the food I cooked? Can't you just send it over now?" Xiang Zhenming said kindly: "Junior brother Zhenming, if you like it, senior brother will often do it for you in the future."
Zhenbi was arrogant in front of him and respectful in the back. Yang Ning knew the reason, and said with a smile but not a smile: "Senior Brother Zhenbi, I'm afraid it's not good for you to open a small stove for us. The senior brothers in Kongming Pavilion can't enjoy such treatment, how dare we enjoy it? "
"Junior brother Qi, don't say that." Mabi immediately said seriously: "If you want to enter Kongming Pavilion, just tell Uncle Jingkong, and Uncle Jingkong will definitely agree. He is in charge of Kongming Pavilion, whether you can go in or not. It’s not just a word from Master Jingkong. However, you defeated the guy named Bai with one move today, and your martial arts skills are even higher than those of the brothers in Kongming Pavilion. I guess Master Abbot will definitely have another important use for you."
The fat monk Zhenchi also laughed and said: "Junior Brother Qi, I hope you will take more care of us in the future."
"So that's what you planned." Yang Ning said with a smile: "If the abbot doesn't reuse me, wouldn't your efforts this time be in vain? In this case, I advise you to take these things away, so as not to draw water from the bamboo basket in vain. "
"Junior Brother Qi, you misunderstood again." Makabe said immediately: "We are just grateful to you for rescuing Daguangming Temple, and we express our gratitude specifically. We have no other thoughts." He glared at Zhenchi and cursed: "You can't speak. Just shut up, why don’t you take care of us? Junior Brother Qi has a broad mind, if he really wants to have a place to take care of us, do you still need to tell me?”
Zhenchi raised his hand and slapped himself in the face, scolding himself: "I am stupid, Junior Brother Qi, don't be as knowledgeable as me."
Makabe had already picked up the chopsticks, presented them to Yang Ning with both hands, and said cautiously: "Junior brother Qi, try it first to see how it tastes and whether it suits your taste. If you like it, from now on, I will cook it for you personally. We send someone to deliver it to you every day, so you don’t have to work hard back and forth.”
Yang Ning saw Mabi with a smile on his face. In fact, he really didn't have the intention to argue too much with him. He had seen too many people like this who acted according to the circumstances, so there was no need to take it too seriously. As the saying goes, don't hit him with your hands. Smiling people, these two people sent dishes to apologize. No matter what their intentions were, there was no need to embarrass them too much on the surface. They took the chopsticks, scanned the table full of dishes, randomly picked up a chopstick, and ate a few. mouth.
The taste of the dishes was beyond Yang Ning's expectation. These dishes were all full of color, aroma and taste. After taking a few bites, he asked: "Brother Mabi, are you really cooking this yourself?"
Makabe immediately said solemnly: "Every dish is cooked by me myself. There is absolutely no addition. Junior Brother Qi, how does it taste?"
"That's weird. You left the Guangming Palace just a little while before me. I came back right after I left the palace. There wasn't much time in between. How did you cook so many dishes in such a short time?" Yang Ning wondered. He said: "To be honest, these dishes all taste good and the heat is well controlled. It's impossible for you to cook them all by yourself, right?"
Makabe's face showed a slight expression, and he said with a smile: "Junior brother Qi doesn't understand now. I can fry four dishes at once and heat four pots at the same time without any delay."
Zhen Chi said from the side: "Junior Brother Qi, you still don't know what Senior Brother Mabi did before he became a monk, right?" He glanced at Mabi with admiration in his eyes and said, "Before Senior Brother Mabi became a monk, he was an authentic royal chef. , who cooked for the palace, and later served the King of Huainan!"
