Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 459 458. Vegan Wine
So, don't see, don't hear, don't smell, don't see.

What does the White Horse Temple have to do with me as a Taoist priest?
Buddha was scraped off the golden body?This is the White Horse Temple. A group of monks don't know how rich they are after receiving merit money for a year.

That is to say, there are no stocks in this era, otherwise, the White Horse Temple will not be listed. I will take your surname.

The Taoist continued to look up at the sky.

I heard another sentence:
"Taoist, I'm talking to you."

How old are you?If you talk to me, I have to talk to you?
Well, I'm a little sleepy.

Li Zhen yawned and wanted to go back to the house.

But just as he was about to take a step, suddenly, Xuanzang went and returned.

I don't know where he went in less than a few minutes. When he came back, he had two porcelain bottles in his hand.

After entering the door, he looked at the two of them and said with a smile:

"I know that the Taoist priest is good at wine. Although Buddhist disciples can't drink alcohol, these two bottles of wine are used to worship the Buddha. They are made from grapes picked last year. Although the taste of the wine is light, it is full of fruity fragrance. Please the Taoist priest and the servant My lord, try it."

"..."

The corner of Li Zhen's mouth twitched, and he was already cursing in his heart.

Why can't you tell the difference between big and small kings, monk?

What time is it?Still drinking?

And wine...

Wine is wine, what kind of meat and vegetables are there?
Moral kidnapping is better played by you bald donkeys...

However, although he was jumping and cursing in his heart, he actually understood that Xuanzang was right.

For Buddhists, wine is indeed divided into meat and vegetables.

The so-called meat wine is the wine that people usually drink. Nowadays, people have not realized that distillation can purify the alcohol content, and they still use the wine fermented by distiller's yeast, which is called "meat wine".The meaning of vegetarian wine is very simple, just simply filter out the distiller's grains, and boil the remaining wine in a pot so that the wine will not deteriorate.

The taste is very bland. To be honest, meat wine and vegetarian wine have almost the same meaning as spicy baijiu, or sake that tastes like adding water to baijiu.

If you drink too much, you may feel dizzy and want to go to the toilet at most, but you won't be hungover.

Xuanzang came with two bottles of vegetarian wine that smelled like grapes.This meditation room was originally his own room, so without Li Zhen's permission, he opened the door and placed it on the table.

Then he stood at the door and gave way to the house:
"You two please."

As the host, this is an invitation for the two of them to enter the house for a drink.

Li Zhen really disliked him for his lack of vision.

However, Lord Huqiu remained motionless, as if saying "If he goes in, I'll go in".

then……

"Master, please."

"..."

Standing at the door, Li Zhen finally spoke.

Helpless face:

"Can I not drink?"

The monk was still smiling, but pointed out of the courtyard:
"Although the White Horse Temple does not have the Eighteen Bronze Arhats of the Shaolin Temple, the nine warrior monks who protect the courtyard still have to call the poor monk "Master Uncle."

"...Are you sure you're a monk? And not some rogue?"

Li Zhen was speechless, and at this moment, Master Huqiu who had been standing in the courtyard finally spoke.

"Xuanzang."

"Lord servant."

The monk saluted.

Just heard one sentence:
"This is between him and me. You are an eminent monk, so you don't need to get involved. Just go to the Daxiong Hall and continue to read your scriptures."

"..."

There was no surprise in Xuanzang's eyes, on the contrary he seemed very obedient.

Hands together:

"Amitabha, that poor monk will not bother you two."

The clothes flew away, and in a blink of an eye there were only two people left.

But this time, the woman took off her bamboo hat.

After walking up to the Taoist step by step, he said:

"Come in. I know you're angry, but you're not a child anymore. Why are you getting angry?"

"..."

Li Zhen finally turned his head this time.

There is no sadness or joy on the face:

"okay."

The voice was calm, and then bowed:
"Please, my lord servant."

Polite.

And this time... the woman's brows finally frowned.

After thinking about it, she didn't say anything. She was in the front, the Taoist was behind, and entered the meditation room with a fairly clean environment.

Li Zhen didn't close the door. After entering the room, she sat opposite to the woman, sniffed it with a wine bottle, and muttered to herself:
"It smells like black currant juice."

Then he picked up the glass and poured himself a glass.

As for the woman opposite...

I want to drink myself.

Holding a teacup full of wine, he took a sip on his own, and he was suddenly taken aback...

Ok?
Oh yo~
This taste...

Not bad.

At first, I thought this wine must be quite bad, but after taking a sip, I felt the right sweet and sour taste in my mouth, and Li Zhen instantly had the urge to take another sip.

This time it was a big mouthful.

I drank a cup in one go.

The taste is refreshing, refreshing and sweet.

Not bad!
Just as he was about to pour the second cup, the voice of the woman on the opposite side sounded again:
"Does it taste good?"

"..."

The Taoist didn't talk to each other at all.

The left ear listens to the right ear.

The woman didn't seem to mind, and said to herself:
"On September [-] last year, on the birthday of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, His Majesty personally bestowed fifty catties of fine amethyst longan grapes. This batch of vegetarian wine should be one of them. It seems that Xuanzang's status in the White Horse Temple is indeed true. It's not low. There wasn't much wine out in total, but he was able to take out two bottles at a time... Taoist priest, it seems that he has a very good relationship with you."

When he spoke, Li Zhen had already finished his second cup.

But just don't answer.

And this porcelain bottle can't hold much wine in total. Others drink from wine cups and cups, but Li Zhen pours it out and uses teacups directly.

By the time the third cup was filled, the wide-bellied porcelain vase was already empty.

Seeing this, the woman casually pushed the wine bottle in front of her to the middle of the table.

It's very intentional for the Taoist to drink with her share.

But Li Zhen stopped drinking, but put down the cup, staring at the porcelain bottle as if in a daze.

So the woman asked again:

"How long are you going to pretend to be deaf?"

"Poverty is not deaf."

Li Zhen shook his head:
"If you have anything to do, Mr. Minister, just ask."

Seeing that he finally spoke, there was a hint of a smile in the woman's eyes.But after hearing this, he frowned again:
"What? Still blaming me?"

Complain?
The Taoist smiled sarcastically.

Fine.

Just complain.

So he fell silent again.

"...I'm talking to you."

"..."

"Since your ears are not deaf and your mouth is not dumb, Li Shouchu, you are getting more courageous."

"..."

The Taoist still didn't answer.

A pair of oily and salty appearance.

But this time, the woman couldn't suppress the fire in her heart at all.

If normally, the Taoist put on this picture of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, at worst, everyone will see the truth!
If you beat me up, whoever has the bigger fist will have the bigger reason!

But now she can't move her qi, and looking at the other party, she feels helpless like a dog gnawing at the bastard.

then.

Annoyed!

"Oh!"

Although she couldn't move her qi, she still smashed the table loudly with one punch, squinting her eyes and looking at the Taoist opposite:
"Li Shouchu! I'm talking to you!... Do you know that it's General You Xiaowei, a third-rank member of the imperial court! A third-rank general! He wants to kill you, and you have no reason to say it, do you know that!? "

"..."

"Still dumb?"

The woman clenched her reddish fists, and there was a rare gnashing of teeth in her voice:
"Pretending to be dumb, pretending not to hear, ignoring people?... Li Shouchu, you've learned a lot!"

And following this emotion, somehow, a sentence blurted out:

"...Why, if I have to admit that I did something wrong, can I beg you!?"
