After coming out of the ditch, I went down the waterway, and soon a few days passed.

"Hmm...... No, no, no. Li Xiaobai leaned next to the cabin, with a prostration, "Master, I beg you, let's stop and rest for a while." I think if I go down like this, you're going to lose my precious apprentice. ”

Mu Xiaojiu put down the pen and ink in his hand and glanced at Li Xiaobai, "What, you can't hold on?" If I'm not mistaken, that's what you said yesterday morning. And yesterday morning, we all went ashore, and you were standing on the shore and came to a set of radio gymnastics. ”

Li Xiaobai smiled, raised his hand and scratched his head, "Master, you can't say that, such a bumpy boat has been sitting for so long, no one can stand it." Think about it, let's take a boat all the way from Pingdingshan, how far is this, isn't it just right to get off the boat and rest once a day? ”

"Okay, Xiao Jiu." Fox Xiaoxian gently put his chin on Mu Xiaojiu's shoulder, "Let's go down and take a walk, not only Xiaobai, I'm also a little dizzy, the space on the boat is still too small after all." We went all the way down the river, and the time was really long, and we didn't have much rest. ”

Mu Xiaojiu didn't say a word and nodded, "Okay, then let's go down and rest." ”

Li Xiaobai looked at Mu Xiaojiu with a sad expression, "Master, I have a sentence in my heart, I don't know if to say it or not?" You're typical, and you're very typical, of the kind of heavy color and light ......."

"Xiao Jiu, I think I can hold on any longer, let's continue to hurry."

Li Xiaobai turned his head to look at Fox Xiaoxian, and then turned over and knelt down on one knee, "Sister Fox, do you know?" In my heart, you have always been the most beautiful, gentle, kind, lovely, and considerate and understanding person in the world, and even angels are not as good as your ......"

"Stop......" Hu Xiaoxian looked at Li Xiaobai with a flattering face, and couldn't help but shudder, "Stop, I'll vomit if I keep talking, you're really enough." ”

"That'...... Sister Fox ...... "Li Xiaobai looked at Fox Xiaoxian cautiously.

"Let's go, stop the boat, go down and rest." Fox Xiaoxian waved his hand. When Mu Xiaojiu heard this, he opened his mouth and said loudly: "Li San, find a place to stop on the shore, let's go down to let off the wind and refresh our muscles and bones." Also, where are we now? ”

Li San responded, and after hitting the shallow place here, he didn't use his oars to support the boat anymore. What he was holding in his hand now was a long, tough bamboo pole. Previously, the paddles were more convenient to use in deep, turbid watersheds, but in this shallow and clear watershed, the poles are more useful.

After answering, Li San casually put the pole under the water, and the boat turned slightly in one direction, and then leaned towards the shore. At the same time, Li San also looked around, "It's been a long time since I've run so far, but fortunately, I've been here twice before, and I still have some vague impressions." If I'm not mistaken, this should be the monk's village. ”

"Monk Zhuang?" Mu Xiaojiu, Hu Xiaoxian and Li Xiaobai were all stunned, and then looked at Ning Chengfo with that inexplicable look, Ning Chengfo also came back from meditation, and looked outside a little helplessly, "Monk Zhuang, this name is good, it has a fate with my Buddha." ”

"Hey, I actually thought it was funny when I first heard the name." Li San walked over and opened the door of the cabin for the four of them, and said with a smile: "The location where we are now has another name, called the temple gate, you can come out and take a look." ”

Hearing this, the four of them walked out of the cabin with some interest. Then, following the pointing of Li San's finger, the four of them looked behind them, and only then did they find that there was a stone door sign on the river not far from where they had just passed, and the word "temple gate" was written in the middle.

"Oh, it turns out that this temple gate is from this." Mu Xiaojiu nodded, "But I think this is a monk village and a temple gate, what happened here?" ”

Li San disembarked with the four of them and said with a smile: "Gongzi Mingjian, that's right, the reason why this place is called Monk Zhuang, and even a temple gate has been built, is naturally for a reason. Of course, I'm just hearsay, just listen to a few people, whether it's true or not, I don't know. In fact, Monk Zhuang was originally not called Monk Zhuang, but Li Jiazhuang, and all the people in the village were surnamed Li. But later, a group of water bandits came to this area and set their sights on Lijiazhuang, and came to loot from time to time. There is no shop in front of the village in this area, and the people of Lijiazhuang have nowhere to go if they want to report to the official, if they send people to go far away, go to Longwangmiao Town, Yunyang Town to report to the official, I am afraid that they will die on the way before they go far. ”

"Fortunately, on the road of endless people, after being plagued by that group of water bandits for more than half a year, there was a wandering monk passing by Lijiazhuang. The villagers saw that the monk's robe on his body was about to rot, and the whole person was sloppy, so they invited the monk home for a meal, and took two old clothes from the family for him to wear. The monk thanked the people of Lijiazhuang and was about to leave, when the gang of water bandits came to ask for money again. Just when the people in Lijiazhuang were about to hand over their belongings, the monk shot out angrily and killed all those bandits. ”

Speaking of this, Li San raised his hand and pointed to the stone gate plate engraved with the word "temple gate", "Although the monk left directly after killing the water bandits, those villagers in Lijiazhuang felt that such a great favor should be repaid. So after the monk left, they changed the name of the village from Lijiazhuang to Monk Village, and at the same time mobilized the people in the village to build this house number. ”

Li San said these words as he walked, so by the time he finished speaking, several people had already seen the houses and residents in the so-called "Monk Village".

"This story is quite martial arts, but I don't know if it's true." Li Xiaobai said to himself, and then asked Li San: "Then will there be many people who believe in Buddhism in this monk's village, after all, it was a monk who saved their whole village." ”

Li San shook his head a little dazedly, "I haven't asked this carefully, but on the surface...... No, I don't think I've seen anyone who believes in Buddhism in Monk's Village. ”

"Okay, let's not discuss this yet, Xiaobai, is there enough food on our ship?" Mu Xiaojiu stopped Li Xiaobai's idea of continuing to chat, "If it's not enough, you can bring silver taels and go in and ask the villagers to buy some." If you have enough, just move around and get back to the boat in a quarter of an hour. ”
