"Fat" Chef

The carriage drove forward slowly, and Mo Pang felt that although it was a little bumpy, it was a bit like sitting in a cradle when he was a child. Royal incense is a style, there are tall horses in front of the road, and there are guards on both sides. Looking at the heroic guards on horseback, Mo Pang's eyes are full of envy. Every bear child has ridden a horse before, so happy Qiu's martial arts dream!

Li Xun watched Mo Pang staring at the accompanying guards outside without blinking, his eyes darkened, and he turned sideways to block Mo Pang's sight without any trace, and said, "Little Mo, open the handrail on the left hand side and have a look." Mo Pang listened and looked quickly. Holding the armrest of his left hand, it is slightly wider than ordinary armrests, and there is a buckle like a hidden buckle on the inside. Mo Pang opened the cover of the armrest lightly, and found that there was a storage compartment inside. The pastries were neatly stacked, and Li Xun looked at Mo Pang with a surprised expression and said, "Are you hungry, let's have some snacks to fill your stomach, and you can try their vegetarian dishes when you arrive at Yunlu Temple later." , is also good”

Mo Pang picked up a piece of cloud pastry and nodded, and asked, "Then the temple fair we are going to is at Yunlu Temple?" Li Xun smiled as he watched Mo Pang eat the crumbs, and gently wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand , Mo Pang blushed and looked at Li Xun who was approaching suddenly, felt the temperature of his fingertips from the corner of his mouth, and quickly wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.Li Xun chuckled, and Mo Pang felt that he was ashamed, and his face turned even redder.Li Xun looked at Mo Pang, who was blushing, and said: "The temple fair is at the foot of the Yunlu Temple. Today, the Queen is going to offer incense. The temple will definitely not entertain other people. Every time the Queen is in the temple after offering incense Stay for three days to pay respects to the Buddha and read Buddhist scriptures. Then we will go to the temple fair at the foot of the mountain." Mo Pang nodded.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain. Mo Pang opened the curtain and looked at the pedestrians and hawkers coming and going outside. Because Yunlu Temple is halfway up the mountain, most of the people at the foot of the mountain are selling incense and the like. , the carriage came to a stop along the mountain road, Li Xun pulled Mo Pang out of the carriage, and said: "The rest are all ladders, you have to go up on foot, even if my brother is here. Mo Pang looked at the winding steps and nodded quickly. He also climbed a similar famous Taoist mountain in modern times.

As he spoke, Li Xun pulled Mo Pang to the front of his empress. Mo Pang looked at the empress dowager in front of him. Although she was full of beauty, it could be seen that she had a very beautiful face when she was young. Li Xun's appearance At least 8 points look like the imperial concubine, and the remaining [-] points are probably following the emperor.

The imperial concubine knew that her son had brought friends with her today. Looking at the young man who was following her son, she reckoned to be about seventeen or eighteen. His fair face and round eyes were particularly expressive. Li Xun Smiling, he pulled Mo Pang forward: "Greetings to the empress, empress, this is the friend Mo Pang my son mentioned." Good boy, I have seen all the vegetarian dishes I made, and they are much more exquisite than previous years. Xun'er sent someone to pick you up early in the morning, but I'm sorry to bother you." My son knows it, maybe he has a good relationship so he won't introduce it specially, besides This child has clear eyes, and there is a little innocence in his gestures, which is really likable.Mo Pang waved his hands again and again and said, "Don't bother, don't bother." Mo Pang felt that the imperial concubine was very approachable.

Li Xun looked at his imperial mother who kept pulling Mo Pang to ask questions, and laughed: "Emperor mother, we have stayed here long enough, if we don't go up, the host will have to wait." The imperial concubine said lightly He patted Mo Pang's hand lightly, and said, "Little Mo probably hasn't been here yet, would you like to accompany the old lady for a walk?" of.So, Mo Pang and Li Xun accompanied the imperial concubine step by step up the ladder from left to right. Climbing a mountain is a boring and lonely thing. At first Mo Pang looked at the long invisible steps and felt I was stunned, but when you really walked up, looking at the strange rocks and bushes on both sides, and smelling the faint smell of sandalwood on the tip of your nose, you suddenly calmed down. Besides, Li Xun introduced this incense to Mo Pang while walking There are several legends and stories interspersed with the temple in its heyday. After walking through the ladder and seeing the gate of the temple, Mo Pang still has some thoughts.

Master Chenyun, the abbot of Yunlu Temple, was already waiting at the door, looking at the crowd, "Amitabha, the poor monk is preparing a samovar in the gazebo, please rest your feet first." Mo Pang followed to the gazebo, and kept looking at the abbot The monk behind him, let's see who has the temperament of the legendary "sweeping monk", but it seems that he has not found it.Li Xun pulled Mo Pang to sit on the stone bench, and handed him a glass of water. After climbing the steps for a long time, he was a little thirsty, so Mo Pang picked it up and drank it in one go.His eyes widened immediately: "It's delicious! It's so cool and comfortable!" Seeing that he was drinking so fast, Li Xun added another cup for him, and said, "The herbal tea in Yunlu Temple is made from the tea garden behind the temple. The ones grown by the monks themselves, including the fried tea, are handled by the monks themselves, which is more delicious than other places." Master Chenyun smiled and looked at the young man in front of him: "If the benefactor likes it, take a pack or two back when you leave. Only three or four pieces are enough." Mo Pang waved his hands again and again and said no, no, Master Chenyun had already ordered the little novice behind him to prepare.

After resting for a while, the servant girl followed up and helped the imperial concubine tidy up her hair and clothes, and was about to go into the hall to offer incense. The imperial concubine smiled and said: "Xun'er may not be able to sit still anymore. Xiao Mo is here for the first time. Then you take him around this Yunlu Temple." Li Xun nodded in response.

Li Xun took Mo Pang to the backyard, and said with a smile: "The front of Yunlu Temple is a temple, but there is no house built behind it, and there is a waterfall on the back mountain, which does not stop all year round."

"Waterfall?? Can you go and see it?" Mo Pang looked at Li Xun, with the word "want to go" clearly written in his eyes.

Li Xun nodded with a smile: "I originally invited you out for a visit, so of course I have to go and have a look!"

The waterfall is on the back mountain. The door of the backyard of the temple is the back mountain. The two went out through the back door. Because the waterfall is very famous, and the monks sometimes pick some mountain springs, the backyard to the waterfall has already been stepped on by pedestrians. , walking is not particularly difficult.Soon Maupang heard the sound of roaring water, and when he turned a corner, he saw the waterfall pouring down from the crevice of the mountain and splashing on the rocks, making an ear-splitting roar.The smashed water looks like a string of snow-white round "pearls", and then hits the rocks and turns into water droplets.Mo Pang suddenly remembered Li Bai's verse, flying down three thousand feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way falls nine days.

Li Xun smiled at Mo Pang's surprised look, and pulled him to the thatched hut next to the waterfall. Only then did Mo Pang realize that there was a thatched hut not far from the waterfall. There is a stone table and several stone benches.

Mo Pang asked: "There is still a house here. Does anyone usually come to live here?"

Li Xun pulled him to sit and rest: "Where can people live in this house? Master Chenyun is afraid that the pilgrims who are playing will get tired, so he built a thatched hut for rest. If this is really a place for people to live in, if it rains at night Don’t be drenched.” Mo Pang thought about it, and if he really lived here, he would probably wake up from the cold at night.

"Gu~gu~gu~" Mo Pang rubbed his stomach with a red face, Li Xun held back the corners of his mouth, and asked, "But I'm hungry, and it's time for lunch"

Mo Pang blushed and said embarrassingly: "Yes, I'm a little hungry." He got up early in the morning, and he was busy all morning, and he had already digested what he ate in the morning.In addition to climbing the ladder, Mo Pang was already hungry.

Li Xun looked at Mo Pang and suddenly showed a sly smile: "Little Mo, do you want to eat some wild game?"

Mo Pang was stunned: "This is a Buddhist holy place, how can you eat meat?" Even if you want to eat meat in your heart, you still have to take into account the Lord Buddha.

Li Xun squinted his eyes and smiled: "The wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Lord Buddha will keep it in his heart. Xiao Mo will wait here for a while, and I will go back." Standing here, thinking that since cooking, it is better to boil water first. Fortunately, there are firewood and fire pockets left by the monks in the thatched cottage, so I lit a fire and took water from the waterfall to boil.

After a while, Li Xun came back with the dead rabbit and pheasant in his hands.Seeing Li Xun come back, Mo Pang hurried forward to take the prey in his hand, exclaimed: "Wow, this rabbit is so fat! Brother Li, you are so good, you have hunted rabbits and pheasants in just a short time." !" Mo Pang guessed that he didn't notice the change of his address to Li Xun, Li Xun rubbed the top of Mo Pang's head in a good mood: "Let me deal with it, aren't you hungry, we will eat them all today "Fall" Mo Pang shook his head, he couldn't imagine Li Xun in white clothes to deal with rabbits and pheasants, and said: "Let me do it, Brother Li will help me look after the pot." He took the rabbits and pheasants Walked to a small pool downstream of the waterfall, and handled the rabbits and pheasants neatly. Mo Pang had already visited the thatched cottage just now. As expected, there was nothing except the utensils for boiling water. After roasting and eating, thinking about the tongue of fire licking the rabbit meat lightly, the original oil stains in the meat made a sizzling sound, Mo Pang felt that he was even more hungry, so he hurriedly speeded up.

Mo Pang asked Li Xun to light a fire outside, built a simple shelf, and put the dressed rabbit meat and pheasant on it. Mo Pang took out two white ceramic vials from his small satchel, and turned them over. While grilling, he sprinkled the contents of the ceramic bottle evenly on it, and suddenly a scent surged up. Li Xun sniffled his nose and asked, "Xiao Mo, what's in this small bottle? Why is it so fragrant?" Fragrant" Mo Pang shook the small ceramic bottle in his hand and said, "This is my own special seasoning. Every time I cook a dish, add a little bit to enhance the freshness. The other is the chili noodles I specially made." Mo Pang handed the roasted rabbit to Li Xun, and Li Xun took the rabbit meat and waited for it to cool a little, then unscrewed a rabbit leg and handed it to Mo Pang's mouth, saying: "Aren't you hungry, eat first , try your own craft"

Mo Pang received it with a warm heart, a hare, a pheasant, Mo Pang was full after eating two rabbit legs, and the rest of Li Xun was full, the two looked at each other and smiled, Li Xun was very satisfied. It was nostalgic: "I remember the time I came here to eat wild game, and the emperor brought me here." Mo Pang asked in amazement: "The current emperor?" Li Xun nodded with a smile: "When I was born, the emperor was married My wife died, and my father passed away very early. At that time, Brother Huang treated me more like his own child. When I was a child, I came to offer incense. Take me to the back mountain to secretly beat teeth for sacrifice." Mo Pang nodded, this is brother and father. "The Holy Majesty treats Brother Li really well." It's hard to imagine a scene where a high-ranking person would search for prey all over the mountain just because of a request from his younger brother.Li Xun smiled and nodded: "Yes, Brother Huang has favored me since he was a child, even more so than my nephews." Mo Pang thought, the key to a child's relationship is that people deserve to be favored.

The two were full, and Li Xun took Mo Pang around the back mountain to see the scenery and digest food. Mo Pang felt that the mountain scenery was messy and orderly, and it was more important than the neatly built gardens now. The natural beauty is like carvings, the trees are not built, and they grow more casually.

Suddenly Li Xun frowned, and pulled Mo Pang into his arms and hid it in the bushes. Mo Pang felt a whirlwind and touched a slightly warm chest. When he realized that he was pulled into his arms by Li Xun , Mo Pang suddenly felt that his face was hot, and his blood was rushing to his head. Looking at Li Xun's deep side face like a knife, Mo Pang mustered up the courage to ask in a low voice: "Brother Li, why should we hide?" Xun slightly tilted his head and said in Mo Pang's ear, "someone is coming." Mo Pang immediately became nervous, imitating Li Xun, and quietly looked through the bushes.

Sure enough, not far from them, there were three masked men in black, holding blueprints and gesticulating, as if they were looking for something, after choosing a location, they began to dig.
