The little monk quickly brought over the abbot's beautiful artifact, the White Crane Jade Urn, and the exquisite Lotus Jade Cup. As soon as it was placed on the table, the aroma of tea wafted out from the pot. The young monk then poured some water for the two of them, instantly filling the room with a rich fragrance. ”Where did you get this fragrant tea?” Farmer asked in surprise.
The young monk was attentive, ”Master, please have some tea. If the tea is cold, you won't be able to enjoy it.” Farmer thanked the young monk, picked up the cup and scrutinized it: ”It is touching that the teacher treats the poor monk with such precious tea. Is this tea for personal use? ”
When the abbot heard Fa Ming call out the name of the tea, he was deeply impressed. He said, ”The High Monk is indeed very knowledgeable. This tea was sent by President Yuan Shikai. I entertain my guests with it whenever they come. There are very few people who can immediately call out the name of the tea. ”
A single sip from Farmer's mouth was extremely fragrant. After two sips, he felt refreshed and refreshed. ”This tea has a miraculous effect of strengthening the body and eliminating fatigue,” Fa Ming said in his heart. What is Yuan Shikai's intention in sending tea to the abbot? ” He had only drunk half a cup when he felt comfortable and his limbs were strong.
The abbot said, ”I see that the High Monk is worn out from the journey, so I use it to help you get over your tiredness. but it's also disrespectful. ” Fa Ming said, ”Teacher is being too courteous.” To be honest, this tea is not often found in our National Protecting Temple. The emperors of the Great Qing Dynasty gave it to us before and after the festival every year. That's why I recognize it. This tea was brewed with special spices. It could be said to be a treasure that strengthened the body and strengthened the body. It can be seen that the abbot has a lot of face in front of Yuan Shikai. ”
Hearing that, the abbot laughed, ”Yuan Shikai brought me tea, he has his reasons. In the hundreds of temples that the old monk was in charge of, there had always been people who had joined the Boxers before. He was worried that I would support Bai Lang again and turn him against me. He used tea to appease me. ” ”Yuan Shikai owes the most to the Shandong people,” he said. One bloody scene after another was an appalling sight that was deeply engraved in one's heart. ”How can a packet of tea pacify you?”
The abbot sighed, ”The present Shandong is no longer the Shandong of the past. Once upon a time, I Shandong Wulin talents, martial arts masters stand in a line. ”Through the two failures of the Boxer Regiment and the Bailang Intifada, Shandong Wulin became empty.”
Before the two of them could finish their words, the monk, Su Li, passionately brought the food over for Farmer. The abbot dined with Farmer. The abbot said, ”The abbot of the Temple of National Protection has heard of it for a long time. In my lifetime, I will definitely pay a visit. This is also my long-cherished wish for many years. ” ”Our abbot has always made friends with all the people in the world, and he is kind and hospitable,” he said. He was old now and would not visit for a long time. We welcome you to the Temple of State Protector when you have the time to go. ”
The abbot coughed again, ”Every day when Grandmaster Dai opens the mountain gates, people come and go, causing a ruckus for the whole day. I received a lot of people, as well as a lot of unexpected things, a lot of entanglement. It was truly a rare moment of leisure. Compared to that, you city people are still enjoying yourselves. If you feel bored, go out for a sightseeing trip to build up your emotions. But it's hard for me to go out once. ”
When Fa Ming heard this, he thought to himself, ”Indeed, mountain people don't know city people.” Do we even have time for sightseeing? ” Farmer laughed, ”Actually, we are the same. We were also too busy to enjoy the sightseeing. I didn't come here to roam around. ” The abbot was surprised. ”This senior monk must have something to talk to me about?” ”Then go ahead.”
Fa Ming nodded and said, ”I am here on the orders of Reverend Fang Ming to look for Monk Yuan Ming. I tracked him down here from Tzu En Temple. ” The abbot said, ”This matter is easy. I'll ask him to come and see you.”
The young monk was about to ask, ”Which Yuanming do you want, Master?” When Fa Ming heard this, he was alarmed. ”How many of them are there?” The young monk said, ”Grandmaster Dai has three Yuan Ming. The eldest was seventy-four years old, in the temple of the Western Mountains; the middle was fifty-eight years old, in the temple of the Eastern Mountains; the youngest was twenty years old, in the temple of the Prairie. I don't know which one Master is looking for, please advise me. ”
”The Yuan Ming I am looking for is not from Dai Zongfang,” he said. He was from Chengdu, Sichuan. and speaking with a Sichuan accent. ” The young monk laughed and said, ”I'm afraid that Master has made a mistake in his pursuit. The three Yuan Ming I mentioned were all monks from Dai Zongfang. I heard you said that you were chasing Yuan Ming from Tzu En Temple. He just came back today. I've been working in Tianjin for some time. I just heard a joke from him at the Prairie. He said that the Tzu En Temple had three senior brothers and that they were in their thirties. They were incompetent and had no eyes. The three of them wanted to force him to become their Elder. He stayed up all night, and the young monks there all disagreed. Yuan Ming returned. I think Master must have caught up with him and was lured here by him. ”
Farmer said, ”That would be bad.” I heard about him when I was staying in Tianjin, and I found out where he was when I went to Tzu En Temple. ” The young monk laughed and said, ”This is called 'thousands of miles, the truth is revealed'.” The abbot also laughed. Fa Ming said, ”However, the Yuan Ming I am looking for might really come to Shandong. ”He is determined to live in seclusion in Shandong and cultivate in seclusion.”
The abbot said, ”High Monk, do not worry. I will help you with this matter. The temples in Shandong are under my rule. Tomorrow, I will pass down the decree to each temple to look for him. ”We'll know whether he's in Shandong or not in a few days.” Farmer said happily, ”Thank you for your help, Teacher! ”If I can't find this person, I really won't be able to return the order.” The abbot said, ”Let me pass down the decree that once he enters Shandong, it will be hard to get out. Fellow Daoist, please wait patiently. Tomorrow, this old monk will personally accompany you. Farmer said, ”Very good! I have to look for people, and I can see the mountains. Thank you for teacher's warm care! I'm really here! ” The three of them were overjoyed.
