Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 359. Chapter 358.

A blink of an eye.

Fifteen has passed.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, the Jin Wu in Luoyang City couldn't help it, and the garden lantern festival delighted so many people.

On that night, with Xuan Suning's permission, Li Zhen used a carving knife to select the 49 ever-burning lamps that had never been extinguished since they were lit in the Dao Palace of Jingzhen Palace. Three of them were bought and three names were engraved on them.

When recording, Xuan Suning was by his side.

I saw the three names "Xiahe", "Ningshuang" and "Oriole" with my own eyes.

But she didn't ask.

Enshrining with a constant light indicates that the person has passed away.

When a person is dead... there is nothing to ask.

Can't be revived even after asking.

Why bother yourself.

This year... just passed by like this.

……

As the old saying goes, there is no first month, it is all in the year.

In a blink of an eye, the time has passed Lichun.

The ancient 24 solar terms in the land of China, each solar term, represents the next stage of the cycle of heaven and earth.

Inherited for thousands of years, the four seasons are divided by solar terms and have never been cut off.

Although it is still in the first lunar month, the arrival of the beginning of spring means that this land of China will once again enter the next new year with the passage of time.

early morning.

Xuan Suning woke up from the trance.

At her level, the difference between sleeping and not sleeping is not very big.

After waking up, he opened his eyes and heard movement outside the door.

Stay, put on your shoes, go out.

As soon as he went out, he saw a Taoist who was wiping his face with a cloth towel.

"teacher."

When the Taoist saw her coming out, he scooped up a large ladle of warm water from the wooden barrel emitting a slight mist, and poured it into another wooden basin.

Then he tore off a clean cloth towel from the pole at the side and placed it beside the basin.

Then he picked up a yellowish bamboo cup next to it, which also contained misty warm water, and a thin willow branch was placed in the cup.

After finishing all this, the Taoist left with his wooden basin.

A moment later, she was wiping her face with a cloth towel, and heard the sound of a branch breaking from the kitchen.

The water temperature in the basin is just right.

In the cold air in the early morning, she wiped her face warmly, and the alternating hot and cold feeling made her spirit feel refreshed and clean.

She has a high realm, it's true.

She is skilled, yes.

But she is also human.

It is inseparable for people to eat five grains, eat and drink Lazard.

She was like this, and Li Zhen also understood this truth after seeing the teacher go into the toilet for the first time...

Sure enough, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she has to go to the toilet.

Before that, he really thought that the other party belonged to Pixiu.

Finished wiping my face.

The water in the bamboo tube is no longer foggy.

And the female Taoist who picked up the willow branch felt the feel, and knew that the willow branch must have been soaked in warm water for a while.

Otherwise, it would definitely not be so soft.

Dip some green salt and rinse your mouth.

After grooming, she habitually came to the Dao Palace.

Did not check the oil in the permanent lamp.

Because she is used to her disciple filling up on her own.

Sit quietly, feeling the truth of heaven and earth when the clear air rises and the turbid air descends every day when the sky is bright.

And when it was over, the Taoist who had cultivated a tacit understanding with her these days shouted at the door at the moment when she opened her eyes:
"time to eat."

When I came to the other courtyard, there were two bowls of vegetarian porridge on the table, and on the plate in the middle, there were four pieces of golden cheese... called "boxes".

However, the filling in the box is not one of the meaty leeks.

It is a mixture of fungus and Chinese cabbage (cabbage).

This stuffing, she likes it very much.

The cabbage is sweet and the fungus is crispy.

In terms of matching... my disciple's ingenious control of the heat makes the whole cake crust golden on both sides, which makes people feel happy.

Even she herself didn't realize that there was a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking.

Sitting opposite each other, holding each other... For some reason, he could take a sip of the plain porridge that can be boiled into grains of brown rice. Feeling the warmth from the tip of his tongue to his stomach, Xuan Suning became more and more satisfied up.

only……

"Shou Chu."

"what?"

Li Zhen, who was holding the porridge bowl, was taken aback for a moment.

"Elegance is etiquette and cannot be discarded. Eat slowly."

"Uh... no, I don't have enough firewood. I have to chop firewood before the teacher lectures. I'm afraid I won't have enough time~"

"Wouldn't it be better to just use your Dharma protector to go?"

Ever since she saw for the first time that the universal tool man tower was so much easier to use than killing enemies, she was particularly impressed by it.

"That won't work. There are almost all dead trees on the mountain. The firewood cut today is the new branches pruned from which branches. The reason why the trees on the Xiangshan Mountain are not as tall as the Longmen Mountain is because although the trees survive, they can't grow. There are too many branches, so they need to be pruned carefully to grow taller. This kind of work is not like cutting down dead trees directly, but it needs to be done carefully, so it needs to be slower."

"...pruning branches?"

Xuan Suning was a little puzzled.

At first glance, she doesn't understand these gardening practices that can be seen by modern people in later generations.

Li Zhen nodded:
"Yes, if a tree wants to grow taller, it needs to prune its branches, otherwise it will be like the trees on our mountain. It seems to be prosperous, but in fact, because it is not tall, it will occasionally bump into the head when walking. As long as the short ones Prune off the branches and let them grow upwards... After ten or twenty years, these trees will be lush and lush, and they will look towering and dense, and they will look good."

"I see……"

Xuan Suning nodded, and after hearing the truth, he drew inferences:

"Unexpectedly, the pruning of this tree can actually be the same as the saying of governing the people, enlightening wisdom, and guiding all living beings. Sure enough, the road of heaven and earth leads to the same goal."

"Yes."

Li Zhen is used to her behavior of relying on Dao Dao for everything.

A casual sentence came:
"It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to grow people, isn't that the reason..."

While speaking, he ate the last cabbage and fungus box into his mouth.

Xuan Suning doesn't have a big appetite, he eats three of the four boxes, and the other party eats one.

Hastily cleaned up the porridge and put down the chopsticks:

"Teacher eat slowly, I'll go first."

"……Um."

Seeing the Taoist priest walk out of the other courtyard quickly, the female Taoist murmured a sentence:

"Ten years to grow trees... a hundred years to grow people...?"

……

There are indeed many trees on Fragrant Hills.

But Naiheta's big knife is a bit unreasonable.

Although Li Zhen didn't need so much firewood, the new branches were not good for burning. He simply cut off a large piece of new branches today, and pulled back the ones that could be used, and let the unusable ones disperse water on the ground.

And when he returned to the gate of the palace with a bundle of branches tied with a golden light, Li Zhen saw two court ladies just walking out of the Taoist palace.

He was stunned...

At this time, Xuan Suning's voice sounded beside her ear:
"Shouchu, come in."

　The typo will be corrected tomorrow, the road was being built at home today, the power was out for a long time, it was almost 12 o'clock when I finished writing this chapter, I couldn't take it anymore, I went to sleep
