I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

"Wan, cough, Wan Zu, please wait a moment. My cooking skills are not exaggerated. I guarantee you will be satisfied."

..................

Zhu Heimian is really good at cooking. His cooking skills are great, and his ingredients are equally great.

Usually Wanzi only tasted the food, but including the fish soup last time, he had two serious meals, and all he ate were things made of red and black noodles.

The fragrant fruit flesh on the porcelain plate disappeared little by little, and finally there was no sauce left.

This was undoubtedly the highest affirmation from Maru, and the little girl clapped her hands and exclaimed that it was amazing.

"Ha ha ha ha"

Zhu Heimian smiled heartily: "Maruzu likes it, so I am proud of it. Actually, although this dish is carefully prepared, it is still not a top-notch delicacy due to the quality of the ingredients."

"Can Uncle Zhu make something more delicious?"

Come it, come it. Whether I can get away this time depends on my next answer.

"can!"

Zhu Heimian said without hesitation: "Give Lao Zhu a little more time, Lao Zhu will definitely be able to collect better ingredients and make the best dishes for Wan Zu to taste!"

"..."

"Okay, Sister Maruko said she's looking forward to it!"

Chapter 094: Mage's Story

“Uncle Zhu, why did you come to Jikong Temple to be a bully?”

When Zhu Heimian calmed down a little, he suddenly heard the little girl ask this.

"Bully? No, no, no, I'm here to look for food, Old Zhu." Without any intention of hiding anything, the immortal stated his plan.

Different people can interpret different meanings from the story of the Hanging Temple.

From Zhu Heimian's perspective, Guangji first made a great wish, and then spent a huge amount of time and energy to actually build a temple to help the poor people of Sang Kingdom.

The process of making and fulfilling vows is undoubtedly a special kind of Buddhist practice.

Then why did it fly into the sky later?

It was simple, because Master Guangji wanted to attain immortality, but he was not completely sure, so he simply took the entire temple and flew to the sky.

In this way, even if he fails and becomes a monster in the end, he can still use his backup plan to turn the Hanging Temple into an aerial cage.

Actually, Zhu Heimian's analysis is well-founded and cannot be said to be wrong.

The question is, what if this story was false from the beginning?

"The wizard did not turn into a monster. Uncle Zhu, you are wrong."

Hearing what the little girl said, Zhu Heimian suddenly said strangely: "If he didn't turn into a monster, then why didn't he come down?"

The Buddhist sect in Sang Kingdom is really in decline now, and is in urgent need of an Arhat leader.

If no Arhat comes forward to intimidate the Brahma sect, they may no longer tolerate it and try to find a way to replace it.

"Mages are shy and don't like crowded places."

ha?

What kind of reason is this?

If it was Ru Hai and Ru Kong who used such words to "fudge" Zhu Heimian, he would have rushed to the Hanging Temple to kill them.

But since it was Tangtang who said this...Old Zhu might as well believe it.

"It seems like this trip was in vain."

Shaking his head, Zhu Heimian stood up and said goodbye.

"Hey, are you leaving now?"

It's a rare opportunity to meet an acquaintance, and Tangtang was reluctant to leave.

"Hahahaha, I, Old Zhu, am rushing to look for ingredients. See you again if we're lucky enough. See you again if we're lucky enough."

.....................

Only after they had completely walked out of Jikong Temple did Zhu Heimian let out a long sigh of relief.

I passed this time, but next time, I’m not sure.

It's mainly a food problem. Not to mention striving for immortality, there are very few monks in this world who are qualified to try to upgrade.

As a Red Black-Faced Immortal, he usually has to rely on luck to get some "non-top-grade" ingredients.

The scarlet heart that was offered to Wanzi this time was obtained by Old Zhu by reluctantly slaughtering an evil demon that he had raised for many years, so he had no idea where to get the rest of the food.

'Alas, I wanted to try my luck at Jikong Temple. If the old monk really came down, I would apologize, pat my belly and leave; if he didn't show up, it would be the best, I would go straight to the Hanging Temple to get some top-quality ingredients.'

"What can I do..."

I didn’t see anyone, nor did I get any top-quality ingredients, but I did run into a little girl.

What to do?

Hurry up and look for offerings all over the world!

I must find it before the third meeting, otherwise, I may never be free again.

After Chef Zhu left, Tangtang didn't plan to stay in Jikong Temple any longer and prepared to say goodbye immediately.

It took Ru Hai a lot of persuasion before the girl agreed to stay for one more day so that he could fulfill his role as a good host.

"Junior brother, I couldn't argue with you in front of the master just now. But you are not the master of Jikong Temple, so what qualifications do you have to say that you have to fulfill your duties as a host?"

Hearing this, Ru Hai rarely quarreled with Ru Kong, but instead looked frustrated.

"Brother, I think if this temple continues like this, it may not work."

Ok?

Rukong was confused for a moment: "No? Why is my Jikong Temple no longer working?"

...........................

"You and I have been kneeling in front of the temple for several days but have not been able to see the master. I think it is impossible for the master to be invited to the lower world in the future."

Rukong nodded subconsciously, then picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Besides the founder, are there any other people with great supernatural powers or magical powers in Jikong Temple?"

This seems to be gone.

I used to think that the host had great accomplishments, but he was knocked down by the big-bellied man as soon as they met. It was really... Rukong could only sigh.

"The big-bellied man is gone, but there is no guarantee that there won't be another powerful villain coming to our temple to cause trouble. What should we do then?"

Yes, indeed!

What should we do then?

Rukong felt that the steamed bun in his mouth no longer tasted good, and his face suddenly became full of worry.

"Mage Tangtang will be leaving tomorrow. She has no fixed place to stay, so it will be difficult for us to find her for help."

Ru Hai pondered and said, "From what I see, our Jikong Temple still needs to make preparations early."

"What ideas do you have? Tell us quickly!" Rukong urged hurriedly.

What Ru Hai calls "preparation" is actually very simple, which is to do everything possible to establish a relationship with Master Tangtang.

The actual relationship is another matter, but at least we have to make people outside think that Master Tangtang has a good relationship with Jikong Temple.

in short--

"You want to pull the tiger's skin?"

"Ran Ye"

Ru Hai smiled triumphantly, but found that Ru Kong was frowning and seemed not very optimistic about his idea.

Sure enough, the latter quickly said: "Junior brother, you have a good idea, but this tiger skin cannot be pulled up."

"why?"

"Because, Mage Tangtang has a certain realm but no fame. In the entire Sang Country, who knows how powerful she is except us?"

........................

I thought you were going to say something, this is so easy to handle!

"Hahahaha, brother, why do you think the story of the Hanging Temple is so well-known?"

Ru Hai laughed and said, "Back then, the monks of Jikong Temple did not spread the word everywhere that I did not believe it. They would tell the story of the Hanging Temple, but we would not tell the story of Master Tangtang?"

Uh.

"A demon is attacking Jikong Temple. The two masters, Ru Hai and Ru Kong, resolutely climb the rope to the sky and reach the Hanging Temple."

"After reporting this to the master, he asked his close friend, Master Tangtang, to go down to the mortal world and eliminate the demons!"

Such a good story, no doubt everyone will enjoy listening to it.

When the time comes, make a few big holes on the wall of Jikong Temple and say that they were made by the battle between Master Tangtang and the devil. Wouldn't pilgrims come here upon hearing the news?

It is certain that the Jikong Temple will become more popular, and the reputation of Master Tangtang can be spread through the mouths of the pilgrims.

It really kills two birds with one stone!

"..."

"Junior brother, I used to think you were sinister and cunning, and not a good person. But now I see that you are the one who can carry forward this temple in the future."

Even though he was scolded with sarcasm, it was rare that Rukong showed his willingness to admit defeat. How could Ruhai not be happy?

"Brother, let's not worry about other things for now. Let's work together to tell the story of Master Tangtang."

"to make!"

Chapter 095 Red Umbrella, White Rod

In Tangtang's impression, the monks, such as the three in Shaohua Temple and Abbot Liaojue, all live a very simple life.

But after just one day in Jikong Temple, the little girl's stereotype was broken.

It turns out that vegetarian food is not just vegetables and radishes, but also includes various medicinal foods and even meat.

Of course, according to Ru Hai, the meat on the plate was not actually meat but soybeans, and the chef simply cooked the beans to make them taste like meat.

Vegetarian food that tastes like meat is called "vegetarian meat". Tangtang tasted seven or eight different kinds of vegetarian meat in one night.

Even though they were living such a good life, for some reason Ruhai and Rukong kept talking about the development of our temple. If you didn't know, you would think that the monks in Jikong Temple were starving and could not survive.

"Jikong Temple is already so good, are you still not satisfied?" Before leaving, the little girl asked the doubts in her heart.

"The mage is still young, and doesn't know how prosperous this world is!"

Ru Hai showed envy and jealousy on his face: "What's the big deal about Jikong Temple? It's just a rural place. The real great one is Honglian Temple. I went to Honglian Temple to exchange Buddhist teachings a few years ago and saw with my own eyes an ordinary monk actually mending his robes with gold thread."

For a monk to be so extravagant, his six senses are definitely not pure. His six senses are not pure!

"Master Ruhai, your eyes are red." The little girl said in surprise.

what?

Ru Hai quickly patted his face to calm himself down, and said with a light cough: "In short, my Jikong Temple still needs to make persistent efforts. I don't ask to be completely comparable to Honglian Temple, but I will be satisfied if I can be half as good as it."

...............................

After saying goodbye to the monks of Jikong Temple, the little girl carried Sister Wanzi on her back and set off on her journey again.

I didn’t have a specific place to go. I would just beg for food when I was hungry, rest when I was tired, and keep walking when I woke up.

One day, Tangtang was walking and suddenly felt like someone was following her.

The main thing is that the other party does not conceal it at all, otherwise the girl might not be able to notice it.

Suddenly turning around the corner, Tangtang had an expression that said 'I've already found you' on her face.

"..."
