Chapter 114 Master of Longevity
Yuanshou Temple is not big, and it is also in tatters outside. You can tell at a glance that it is definitely a bit old.
As soon as Han Ke stepped into the gate of the temple, he saw a boy who looked only in his teens standing not far away. He guessed that the child should be Bai Rui's son.
"Xiao Yuan" Han Ke smiled and called to the child.
Xiaoyuan raised his head, looked at Han Ke and Mao Xiaohong, with a puzzled look on his face, put down the small bucket in his hand, slowly walked to Han Ke, raised his little face and said, "Who are you, how could you know my name?"
Han Ke grinned and said, "Do you still remember Aunt Bai Rui? We are your Aunt Bai Rui's friends, so we came to see you specially."
"Really!" Xiaoyuan also grinned when he heard Bai Rui's name.
Bai Rui next to Han Ke could no longer bear the sob covering her mouth and sobbing, forcing her biological child to call her aunt. The pain was difficult for outsiders to understand.
When Xiaoyuan heard that Han Ke and Mao Xiaohong were Bai Rui's friends, he also put down his vigilance and happily led them to the inner courtyard.
"Master, Master, Aunt Bai Rui's friend is here to see me." Xiaoyuan jumped in front and shouted to the inner courtyard.
Han Ke looked at the happy Xiaoyuan and couldn't help but raise his lips and smiled with relief. Looking at himself and Mao Xiaohong with empty hands, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed again.
Xiaoyuan kept leading Han Ke and Mao Xiaohong to an old Zen room, and creaked and pushed open the door.
Han Ke followed Xiao Yuan in and saw a long-haired monk sitting cross-legged on a shabby mat with his eyes slightly closed. This person should be Master Shouyuan. Until a few people walked in front of him, Master Shouyuan slowly opened his eyes.
The moment he saw Master Shouyuan, Han Ke was shocked. Master Shouyuan's body was filled with a bright white light, and Han Ke was no longer unfamiliar with this phenomenon. The light and darkness of this thing represent the strength of the soul power. It is obvious that the soul power in Master Shouyuan's body is far higher than that of almost everyone he has encountered since he was reborn, including Meng Li; of course, these people do not include Li Lao, and Han Ke has never seen Li Lao's ability so far, and with his current soul power, he cannot see the strength of Li Lao's soul power.
Mao Xiaohong seemed to feel something, and quietly attached it to Han Ke's ear and whispered: "Boss, this old man looks a little strange!"
Han Ke just smiled and said nothing, and signaled Mao Xiaohong to be cautious in his words and actions. They could not speak rashly before they confirmed the identity and intention of the Master Shouyuan in front of them;
Master Shouyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xiaoyuan with a smile, his eyes full of love. After his eyes paused on Xiaoyuan for a moment, he slowly moved to Han Ke and Mao Xiaohong behind Xiaoyuan.
What is strange is that Master Shouyuan was suddenly shocked when he saw Han Ke, his eyes were filled with surprise, and then he was sad, even with a hint of sadness;
Master Shouyuan's performance was not too concealed by him. It was also possible that he was too surprised and had no time to conceal it. Even Xiao Yuan, who was beside him, noticed something and stood aside and asked in confusion: "Master, what's wrong? They are my Aunt Bai Rui's friends, and they came to see me."
Master Shouyuan woke up from Xiaoyuan's question, paused for a moment, then hurriedly stood up with a smile, looked at Han Ke and said, "Since you are a friend, you should treat him with courtesy."
This was dinner time, and Master Shouyuan invited Han Ke and Mao Xiaohong to have a meal together. Han Ke and the other two sat down without any hesitation.
Unexpectedly, although Xiaoyuan is not old, he is very good at cooking. Although he is only two vegetarian dishes, Han Ke has a different feeling.
Master Shouyuan was also extremely enthusiastic and took out a jar of aged wine. As soon as it was opened, it smelled fragrant.
"What a good wine!" Han Ke couldn't help but sigh. Although he didn't drink often, when he smelled the aroma of the wine, Han Ke felt that this jar of wine was of extraordinary quality.
"Master, are you drinking too?" Mao Xiaohong smelled the fragrance of the wine in the jar vigorously, and looked at Master Shouyuan and asked.
After hearing this, Master Shouyuan laughed twice, and then said, "I am a good wine person, but I have quit for many years. Today I am happy, so I took out the wine to drink with my two friends, just for the sake of happiness!"
After hearing this, Han Ke also grinned and thought to himself: Master Shouyuan spoke in a literary way, which was quite like the words of ancient people. Judging from his behavior and actions, coupled with this passage, he felt that he was not like a monk, but more like a "people from the world" that often appeared on TV.
The jar of old wine brought out by Master Shouyuan is really delicious. Mao Xiaohong used to socialize all kinds of business and politics, so he had a good alcohol tolerance. After drinking a few bowls, his face turned red, but he did not stop the wine bowl in his hand. He still kept drinking with his mouth one by one, while repeating the praise words vaguely.
Han Ke almost never drank alcohol before. After he was reborn, he drank once at Li Feier and drank red wine. But this time, he couldn't help it. He unknowingly drank two big bowls, his head was a little dizzy. After this contact, Han Ke found that Master Shouyuan looked like an open and generous person, so he gradually let go of his vigilance.
Xiaoyuan had already left to prepare a bed for Han Ke and Mao Xiaohong. The most important thing for such a temple is rooms.
Unexpectedly, Master Shouyuan's alcohol tolerance was so good. Han Ke counted silently in his heart. So far, Master Shouyuan had poured wine into his bowl thirteen times, each time it was a large bowl full, and every time it was all drunk;
The next day, when Han Ke woke up, it was almost noon. He recalled the scene last night hard, almost all of which were vivid in his mind, but he couldn't remember how much alcohol he drank and how he got back to the room.
After Han Ke got up, he saw Bai Rui in the darkness of the room. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry, I drank too much last night." Han Ke thought that although the soul-catcher was dark and silent, it was much better to stay there than staying in this dilapidated room. After a while, it would be noon. At that time, every corner of the room would be shining with sunlight.
"It doesn't matter." Bai Rui smiled at Han Ke and replied to her; she stayed in Xiao Yuan's room for almost a night, and she had just returned to Han Ke's room.
"I got drunk last night and didn't even know how I went back to my room." Han Ke continued.
"It was Master Shouyuan who sent you back. His alcohol content seems to be very high." Bai Rui replied.
"Yes! He has drunk more than ten bowls."
"I counted. He drank a total of twenty-one bowls, and you drank nearly ten bowls." Bai Rui said in surprise.
"No way." Han Ke was shocked when he heard this. Shiwan, what is that concept? If this is true, it would not be too much to sleep until the next night.
"But..." Bai Rui stopped talking.
"But what?"
"However, Master Shouyuan is a little strange. After sending you back to the room, he did not leave and hug you..."
"What are you doing when you hold me?" Han Ke was shocked and asked hurriedly.
"No, I didn't do anything, I just hugged you, crying and laughing, and kept shouting words like sorry for you." Bai Rui explained with confusion.
After hearing this, Han Ke was also full of doubts and thought: This Master Shouyuan must have some little-known secret, and is this secret related to him?!
