In November of the third year of Shenyuan.
Winter is approaching, the earth is yellow and desolate.
Pedestrians on the road all shrank their heads and looked up. Although the weather was not very cold, no one showed their legs or arms. It seemed that everyone felt an inexplicable chill.
In the villa and farm of Knight A, it is still warm as spring.
In the restaurant, a hot pot party is taking place on the green dining table.
Tofu, enoki mushrooms, green vegetables... are boiling in hot water. They look like ordinary things, but they exude an unstoppable aroma.
This taste can only be smelled in heaven, but how many times can we taste it in the world.
Unlike before, there was only one guest, the Ghost King Bodhisattva...
The other party has just personally sent the secrets of the level construction of the space channel, and Knight A is hosting a banquet to entertain him.
"Don't worry, it's all vegetarian, and there's absolutely no meat or fishy taste at all. Bodhisattva, you can enjoy it with confidence..." Knight A earnestly advised.
Yes, this is the generous reward from the uncle.
But in Fang Ning's opinion, it was fairly reliable, at least it didn't come up with a bunch of really "big rewards"... which would be completely embarrassing.
"Haha, when I attended the Wanzhai banquet hosted by the Buddha, I was not listed with such a good item. The venerable man rewarded me generously, but the poor monk was ashamed to accept it." The Bodhisattva clasped his hands and said in greeting.
"Easy to say, easy to say, Bodhisattva can just enjoy it."
"If that's the case, you're welcome, poor monk." The Bodhisattva rolled up his sleeves with one hand, held chopsticks with the other, and began to eat.
He only used a piece of tofu, took two bites, and then sincerely admired: "Such skills are almost saintly. But saints are so high up there, how can they get close to the kitchen? If you don't taste it with your own mouth, it is really hard to imagine that it can still exist in the world. Such a magical art. Sure enough, life is endless and miracles are endless."
But after he said this, he just ate this piece of tofu with chopsticks and stopped talking.
"Hey, Bodhisattva, why is this?" Knight A asked in surprise.
"Haha, if I eat one more bite, the poor monk will be worried that after years of practice, he will not be able to control his appetite and will break the precepts..." Ghost King Bodhisattva shook his head and sighed.
There was uncontrollable regret in his tone.
"The Bodhisattva is indeed an expert..." Knight A said in admiration.
"Look at you, a rich man, you are really incomparable. When will you be able to cultivate to the state of a Bodhisattva? If you don't play a game for three days, you will feel uncomfortable all over. How can a Bodhisattva still be able to face my legendary cooking skills? If you can control it, you are an expert after all. You should really learn from others, control your thoughts of playing games, and work more." The uncle took the opportunity to teach Fang Ning a lesson.
"Okay, okay, stop lecturing me. If I become a Bodhisattva, is there any meaning for your existence? You are like the golden hoop on Sun Wukong's head. When he achieves enlightenment and no longer acts out of line, you will disappear naturally. Do you also want to disappear?" Fang Ning said confidently.
"Well, why do you always have so many fallacies?" The uncle said angrily, "But my intuition tells me that what you said is right. It really makes me depressed."
"Hahahaha, that's good if you know." Fang Ning said proudly.
When a group of people were talking, on top of the green dining table, the air suddenly fluctuated slightly, and a palm-sized caterpillar appeared.
As soon as it appeared, it quickly crawled towards the hot pot.
Even though it was now green and looked like a camouflage color, who were the two people dining there
Keep an eye on it now.
"Well, Dad Chong doesn't want to eat any of this. Am I here to help?" Chong Daqing raised his head and said sarcastically.
"Oh, then you are really a filial insect..." Knight A said expressionlessly.
"Of course, I have always been a good and obedient child." Chong Daqing said confidently.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. I can't break the precepts, so let Daqing clean the pot..." the Bodhisattva said with a smile.
"Chong Daddy still loves me..." Chong Daqing sat beside the hot pot proudly, without using chopsticks, he just opened his mouth and swallowed.
Soon, the pot full of delicious food was gone.
"Hey, how can I be full?" Chong Daqing was satisfied and suddenly wondered, "It's impossible. I should have eaten another hundred or a thousand pots..."
When the Ghost King Bodhisattva heard this, he couldn't help covering his brows, and then taught him a lesson: "Daqing, being an insect is just like being a human being. Remember not to be too greedy. It's enough to eat one pot of such a precious and delicious food."
"Well, I'm just curious, I shouldn't be full so quickly," Chong Daqing said in confusion, "Da Qinglong, are you afraid that my Chong dad will eat too much, so you added something to make him full."
"Hmph, how could I be so stingy?" Knight A said lightly, "I think you are about to pupate, so you will feel full easily after eating."
"What a horse?" Hearing this, Chong Daqing jumped three feet high and hung in the air without coming down. "This is impossible. I never thought about turning into a butterfly! How can I eat when I change into a butterfly? I just have to eat every day. Like them, suck some soup and fall down? It's better to go to hell."
"Haha, there is a cause and an effect. Last time you swallowed an entire secret realm, that was the cause. Today is the effect." The Bodhisattva shook his head and smiled.
"No, I don't want to pupate or turn into a butterfly," Chong Daqing jumped on the Bodhisattva's head and swung him by a few hairs on his temples, "Dad Chong, you must have a way."
"Uh, you come down first."
"No, I won't come down if you don't tell me a way. I'm not hungry anyway." Chong Daqing said confidently.
"Brother Long is laughing," the Bodhisattva said helplessly, "This is quite simple, but you have to give up all your strength. Are you willing to do so? You know, after turning into a pupa and turning into a butterfly, you will be the first truly powerful creature in this world. The insects with supernatural powers will have a bright future if they gain enlightenment.”
"If you can't eat, your future will be bleak." Chong Daqing didn't listen at all.
"Well, perhaps, this is an unshakable certainty. Personality and environment determine everything." The Bodhisattva shook his head and sighed, "You should think more about it..."
"No, I don't need to think too much. The sky is big, the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing." Chong Daqing pulled his hair and swung it back and forth.
"Alas," the Bodhisattva sighed again, "Well, in that case, don't waste any of your strength. Let me think of a solution."
"That's good. Now that you say that, I'm a little hungry again. Da Qinglong, please serve me two more pots." Chong Daqing said confidently.
Knight A was motionless.
What a joke, I can’t just make any insect move...
Fang Ning still couldn't bear it and tried to persuade him: "It won't be able to eat much, so you just have to eat it again."
"Well, you will feel sorry for others," the uncle muttered. "You know, that pot was not made casually. I used a lot of precious materials, otherwise I would not be as highly praised by the Bodhisattva. Listen, even the Buddha’s fasting banquet can’t be compared to it.”
"You are just short-sighted. Why don't you think about what Chong Daqing said just now?" Fang Ning had an idea and thought of a place.
"It's so short-sighted. It doesn't want it despite all its strength. It doesn't want to turn into a pupa and become a butterfly just for the sake of a bite. It's really incomprehensible." The uncle said with disdain.
"Yeah, it doesn't want power, and neither do you?" Fang Ning asked.
"Of course I want it, strength means safety." The uncle said plausibly.
"Yes, then if you select an evil ghost and let the Bodhisattva pass it on... and this is recyclable, the next time it is full..."
"Well, I understand, the rich man is smart," the uncle said with conviction again, "You are really useful from time to time. I used to think about getting rid of you, but now it seems that I am too short-sighted. You are indeed a life There are endless surprises.”
"Ah, what did you just say?" Fang Ning was shocked when he heard this.
"It's nothing. You heard wrong. I'll give Chong Daqing another pot, no, nine pots." The uncle quickly changed the subject.
Not long after, nine mouthfuls of fragrant hot pot were immediately placed on the green table.
"I knew, Da Qinglong, that you still want me. Chong Dad, just think of a way to give it to him for the power I don't need. Just use it as my food money in the future." Chong Daqing said proudly.
"That's fine, after all, I can't digest those alien powers of yours." The Bodhisattva nodded.
