Chapter 219 A sea of people, let's find a wild mountain barbecue!
When Ma Long heard Feng Baobao's explanation, he realized that she wanted to visit West Lake, as the winter scenery was also worth seeing.
"Okay, let's go down for a walk!"
Suddenly, Wang Ye stopped Ma Long: "Junior Uncle, think it over."
This West Lake is not as deserted as our Wudang Mountain and Longhu Mountain. It is springtime and must be packed with people right now.
"You won't be able to see any scenery there, you'll only see people."
"Uh... no way!"
"How can there be so many people during the Lunar New Year?"
Looking out the car window, I could see only a few pedestrians, perhaps because we were still quite far from the main tourist area.
Puzzled, Ma Long used a mysterious technique: "Qian character, Breakthrough Thousand-Mile Eye!"
Sure enough, through the barrier in front, all I could see were people.
People were packed together, shoulder to shoulder, leaning on each other, pushing and shoving, crowding together, a vast, densely packed mass of people.
"Forget it."
There are too many people here; you'd be lucky to avoid being crushed to death, so what beautiful scenery is there to speak of?
"How about we eat first?"
Although Xia He was unhappy, she still agreed to Ma Long's request.
Feng Baobao was naturally very happy: "Okay, let's eat first!"
Using Ma Long's methods, they searched for less populated areas and after a while, they finally found a flat area in a ravine that was impassable to pedestrians.
"Phew, finally found it."
"Let's get off the bus and head to the valley ahead."
The group of seven got out of the car and slowly made their way into the valley. There was no path at all; they would sometimes leap up trees and sometimes climb rocks.
Feng Baobao seemed to sense something and looked at Ma Long, saying, "Longlong, are you sure there's no one inside?"
Why did I sense people?
Ma Long was taken aback. He clearly hadn't seen anyone just now. Could it be that he had misjudged them?
"No way, must I be seeing things?"
The baby's senses are definitely accurate; let me check again carefully.
"The character '乾' (Qian) is like a thousand-mile-long eye that breaks through obstacles!"
Ma Long continued to look around. There was still no one in front of him, except for a bonfire that was particularly eye-catching, with sizzling, oily roasted meat on it, as if someone was turning it over.
If no one is around, roasting meat over a fire would be too conspicuous, but if someone is there, why can't they see it?
Could it be that clairvoyance has limitations?
"Three Pure Ones' Eye-Protecting Aura Talisman!"
"Taiyi Salvation and Relief Talisman!"
He added two more talismans, and only then did the scene before him change.
The meat was roasted over the fire as usual, and a monk stood beside the fire with his back to him.
Perhaps because he was hot, the monk slung his loose-sleeved outer robe down to his buttocks, leaving him wearing only a thin, short-sleeved robe.
Judging from his attire, he is undoubtedly a martial monk, but he is also an extraordinary person who managed to escape Malone's notice.
From this angle, all you can see is the monk's bald head. What's intriguing is that the monk's skin is actually a pale gold color.
Marlon was puzzled. Was it glittered? Or was it covered in gold powder?
The monk had no excess fat on the back of his head and his skin was smooth and delicate, so he must not be very old.
After reading it, Ma Long looked away and said to everyone, "Baby was right."
There was indeed a monk grilling meat up ahead.
Should we back out? We went through so much trouble to get in; it would be a waste to leave now.
Feng Baobao said calmly, "It's alright, we'll just squeeze in for a bit!"
He grilled meat, so we grilled meat too.
Ma Long nodded: "Okay, there's plenty of space inside, it won't feel cramped."
I doubt he would disagree.
Seeing that Ma Long was still considering the other party's feelings, Wang Ye decided to reveal the secret: "Junior Uncle, you are overthinking it."
He's a monk!
"He's a law-abiding citizen; he can hide in this ravine and roast meat. He's the one who should be feeling guilty. Does he dare to stop us from going in?"
Hearing Wang Ye say this, everyone suddenly realized: "That's right, this monk is quite interesting."
"Come on, let's go inside and have a word with him."
Ma Long and the others slowly walked towards the valley. The terrain became flatter and flatter, and their pace quickened.
The monk seemed to have very keen senses; when the two sides were still a little distance apart, he noticed something was amiss and made some preparations.
He waved out a ball of Qi, silently chanting an incantation, and the Qi ball transformed into a large bell.
He used a large bell to completely cover the fire and the roasting meat, so that nothing could be seen from the outside.
The monk calmly sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.
This made Malone, who had witnessed everything, chuckle to himself: 'Fine!'
This technique is fluid and seamless, executed in one go.
It seems this wild monk is a repeat offender.
Okay, okay, that's interesting.
Now that they were very close, Ma Long put away his techniques and used his naked eyes to examine the monk sitting cross-legged in front of him.
The monk was not old, and seemed to be about the same age as me. He had regular features, a righteous look on his face, large ears, round eyes, a straight nose, and a square mouth.
The golden-yellow skin even reflected rays of light.
Ma Long walked closer, put his hands together in prayer, and said, "Amitabha!"
"I wonder in which temple this venerable monk entered monastic life, and what brings him to this place where he sits cross-legged?"
The young monk did not open his eyes and said calmly, "Greetings, benefactor. This humble monk is practicing here."
Ma Long nodded. "Okay, so you call this barbecue a form of spiritual practice, right?"
"Oh, so it's a high monk practicing here. We were the ones who were too impetuous."
But this place is flat, and it's the only place to rest.
We would like to rest here for a while and have something to eat. Would the venerable monk agree?
The little monk still didn't open his eyes. He knew the group's purpose. He could only rest for a while. He figured he could continue grilling meat after they left.
"Amitabha!
"As a monk, I want to make things convenient for everyone. This place doesn't belong to me alone; it belongs to all sentient beings. Please feel free to use it."
Malone has already made his point clear, okay, okay, you said it yourself.
"Amitabha! We admire the high level of the monk's realm. Since you say so, we will be impolite and act wildly."
"Baby, let's begin!"
"Get it!"
Feng Baobao agreed and opened the three food sacs that Ma Long had given her, taking out a large number of kebabs.
Xia He blew a fragrant breeze, blowing away all the fallen leaves and revealing a clean ground.
Wang Ye was quick-witted and began pruning more than a dozen large trees, and soon he had amassed a large pile of firewood.
Zhang Lingyu and Liu Yanyan started lighting bonfires, while Chen Duo went to help Feng Baobao grill meat.
Ma Long found it amusing. Since this little monk wanted to put on an act, let him put on an act. Let's see who can't hold back first in the end.
With many people working together, the sizzling sound soon filled the valley, and the rich aroma of meat permeated the entire valley.
Ma Long took the meat skewers handed to him by Feng Baobao and savored them carefully, occasionally exclaiming in praise: "Oh, so delicious."
My lips are practically melting from the fragrance.
Oh, and where's my wine? I almost forgot! Let's bring it out and enjoy it together, wouldn't that be wonderful?
Ma Long took out the Nine Dragon Cup and distributed it to everyone, while he poured himself a drink and enjoyed himself immensely.
At that moment, the young monk was surrounded by laughter, the rich aroma of meat, and the clear fragrance of wine.
