Chapter 290 Telling the Truth Always Wins

So the number of people who went to eat vegetarian food became three.

"Master Balsam Pear doesn't often invite people to dinner. If he is willing to cook, of course I will never miss it." Hua Manlou said.

"It's not easy to eat his vegetarian meal. You have to make a special trip to Jiuhua Mountain." Su Shaoying said, "But my master had his vegetarian meal in Mount Emei."

Su Shaoying asked, "But I heard that Master Balsam Pear only cooks in Jiuhua Mountain in recent years?"

Huamanlou pondered for a moment and then said, "Master Balsam Gua often traveled around the world, and he did not hesitate to show off his cooking skills and form good relationships with monks and Taoists from all over the world."

Shi Xiuxue asked, "What now? I heard that Master Balsam Pear has not left Jiuhua Mountain for a long time."

Hua Manlou nodded, "I only know that after he went to Shaolin Temple that year, he left Jiuhua Mountain only a handful of times."

"He offended the Shaolin Temple?" Shi Xiuxue asked.

Hua Manlou shook his head and said, "Of course not, Shaolin Tiejian often comes to Jiuhua Mountain as a guest."

"Why is that?" Shi Xiuxue asked.

Hua Manlou thought for a while and shook his head, "I don't know."

"He doesn't want Shaolin Temple gossip behind his back." Su Shaoying said.

Shi Xiuxue couldn't help but ask, "Do you know?"

"Of course I know." Su Shaoying nodded, "There was a fire in the Sutra Pavilion of Shaolin Temple. Monk Wulong died after receiving the ordination. It is not a secret that his four brothers disappeared after assassinating the abbot of Shaolin."

Hua Manlou sighed, "I didn't expect Brother Su to know so much about these old anecdotes."

Su Shaoying nodded matter-of-factly, "I am the heir to the head of Emei, so of course I have to understand some affairs of other sects. Otherwise, what should I do if I accidentally offend someone?"

Hua Manlou couldn't help but hesitate, feeling that what Su Shaoying said made sense.

Shi Xiuxue was aroused by the gossip and asked hurriedly, "What anecdote? What does the fire in the Shaolin Sutra Pavilion have to do with Master Balsam Pear?"

"Back then, there were five evil masters in the world. They were known as dragons, tigers, lions, and leopards. Their hands were full of blood and they committed all kinds of evil."

Su Shaoying said calmly, "But they were enlightened by Shaolin monks later, and they put down their butcher knives and became Buddhas immediately. They became the Five Arhats of Shaolin Temple, with the names of Wulong, Wuhu, Wulion, Wuelephant, and Wuleopard."

Shi Xiuxue said "cut". Although she was not very old, she was from Emei and she still understood the twists and turns of the Shaolin Temple. "Then what?"

"Then one day, Wulong Arhat, who was the guardian elder of Shaolin and in charge of the Sutra Pavilion, suddenly got drunk, turned over a candlestick, and burned almost half of the Sutra Pavilion with a fire." Su Shaoying said.

"Did he eat Master Bitter Melon's vegetarian meal?" Shi Xiuxue reacted immediately, "Drunk?"

Su Shaoying nodded, "The abbot of Shaolin was furious and punished Wulong Arhat. Although Wulong Arhat died after taking the command, his four brothers had murderous intentions and wanted to assassinate the abbot."

Shi Xiuxue was surprised, "They succeeded?"

"Of course it failed." Su Shaoying shook her head and said.

"So Master Balsam Pear felt that he was also responsible for this matter, so he rarely went down the mountain from then on. Those who wanted to eat his vegetarian food had to go to Jiuhua Mountain in person?" Shi Xiuxue asked.

Su Shaoying looked at Hua Manlou, who nodded and said, "That's right, but the Shaolin Temple thinks that this matter has nothing to do with Master Balsam Pear and implicates Master Balsam Pear, so Master Tiejian often comes to Jiuhua Mountain as a guest."

"So that's it..." Shi Xiuxue nodded in understanding, and then reminded, "We must not mention this matter when we go to Jiuhua Mountain this time."

Hua Manlou pursed her lips and smiled, and Su Shaoying glanced sideways at Shi Xiuxue.

Seeing Su Shaoying's eyes, Shi Xiuxue said angrily, "Why are you looking at me like that? Am I not reminding you?"

Hua Manlou no longer suppressed her smile and nodded her head in praise.

Su Shaoying also laughed and threatened Shi Xiuxue, "I won't tell you any news in the future."

Shi Xiuxue snorted and took Hua Manlou's hand directly, "Brother Hua will tell me if I don't need you."

Hua Manlou smiled tenderly and heard Su Shaoying say, "This name always reminds me of Sister Hua."

Hua Manlou sighed, "I think you and Lu Xiaofeng should be able to talk."

"Let him pay the debt?" Su Shaoying said lightly, "I will remember this account for his whole life."

Hua Manlou could only smile bitterly, "Strictly speaking, I also have a share of responsibility for this matter."

Although he could tell that Su Shaoying didn't really want to seek revenge from Lu Xiaofeng, she obviously didn't mean to live in peace, so Hua Manlou was in a dilemma. He still hoped that the two could turn enemies into friends.

After all, they were all victims in the "Jinpeng Dynasty" case.

"So I'm particularly curious about what kind of person Shangguan Feiyan is. She can charm you, charm Lu Xiaofeng, and charm Huo Tianqing." Su Shaoying said, "She didn't come to seduce me. It's really too much! "

Shi Xiuxue glared at Su Shaoying, "I think you've gone too far!"

Hua Manlou shook his head and laughed, but obviously did not want to mention her again, "No matter what kind of person she is, she is already dead at this time. We should focus on the living people. This is the meaning of life."

Shi Xiuxue looked at Huamanlou with admiration.

Su Shaoying nodded and praised, "As expected of Huamanlou, he can use the meaning of life as an excuse to change the subject. No wonder Lu Xiaofeng can't talk to you."

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Su, for the compliment, but I can't say enough about you."

"Because I'm telling the truth." Su Shaoying nodded.

Hua Manlou admitted, "Because you're telling the truth."

Shi Xiuxue looked at Hua Manlou and then at Su Shaoying. She didn't understand, but was too embarrassed to ask.

But of course she could see that Hua Manlou seemed to be at a disadvantage, so she decisively changed the subject, "Were we not discussing the Embroidery Thief just now? Senior Brother, you provided clues to Jin Jiuling, he should be able to arrest the thief soon, right?"

Su Shaoying asked, "How did you know that he could arrest the Embroidery Thief soon?"

"Isn't he known as the best master of the Six Gates in the past three hundred years, and there has never been a case that he couldn't solve?" Shi Xiuxue said.

"But the cases he encountered before did not involve Hua Yuxuan's seventy scrolls of calligraphy and paintings, nor did they involve the eighteen buckets of pearls in the Pingnan Palace." Hua Manlou shook his head and said.

Shi Xiuxue asked, "Can't he crack it?"

"At least it's not that simple." Hua Manlou pondered, "The martial arts and behavior of the Embroidered Thief have exceeded Jin Jiuling's ability to deal with it."

"So what?" Shi Xiuxue asked.

"So one of my friends may be in trouble again." Hua Manlou sighed, "Let's go eat vegetarian food quickly, so that I can keep my good mood for a while longer."
