In that turbulent era when refugees were everywhere, it was a blessing to be able to eat bowls of soaking rice with burnt rice at the bottom. Let's leave aside the hard dishes of bird's nest and shark fin, but let's talk about the snacks that the rich man's family usually eats, such as Tianjin's eighteenth street twist flowers, jujube kernel mud stuffed hemp balls, fried dunzi with shrimp meat, three fresh bean skin gossip soup, osmanthus wine stuffed balls, white sugar lotus heart porridge, ham egg yolk dumplings, and so on.

The old lady of the rich man's family was extremely superstitious, and as soon as his spirit eased up, he pondered in his heart, and felt that his health was indeed related to Xiao Sanpao, so he put Xiao Sanpao in the Buddhist hall at home and let people teach him to read and recite scriptures and pray for himself. Xiao Sanpao used to go south and north with those who ran the rivers and lakes, and often listened to big books outside, and saw only a lot more than ordinary people, plus he had excellent talent, and he could already read a book of Fahua in less than a year or two. It is said that one day, the three cannons were chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall, and the housekeeper took advantage of the fact that the eldest lord and the rich man went to celebrate the birthday of the local warlord in the county, and sneaked into the treasure bureau to try his luck, but the outer door of the Buddhist hall was locked. Xiao Sanpao, a teenager, was born to be active, and he had long been resistant to reciting these obscure Buddhist scriptures, and when he saw that the guards were gone, he threw away the book and played tricks in the Buddhist hall. The old lady's Buddha hall is connected to his living room, and the little three guns are tired, so they take advantage of the fun and sneak to the back hall to explore the treasure. In the old lady's inner room, simple and elegant, a wooden shelf made of fragrant sandalwood is placed a lot of antique porcelain, ancient books and paintings, the small three guns run the rivers and lakes for a long time to visit the antique street, I have long been tired of seeing these ancient things, a pair of big eyes flashed left and right, and suddenly found that there was a wood carved Buddha head in many utensils, and immediately became interested. Three guns in the early years mixed in the rivers and lakes, all kinds of strange things he has seen a lot, this similar Buddha head he used to see when he was in Tianjin when he saw the two fighting for territory when he used, this Buddha head seems to be an ornament, in fact, it is a safe with a mechanism, its eyes, nose, mouth, ears, teeth can be moved, if the trigger mechanism is correct, then the Buddha head will be split in half, and the objects inside will come out, if the trigger mechanism is not right, then the mechanism in the Buddha's head will be triggered, and the consequences are unknown. The little three guns are now energetic, he knows that this thing is not available to ordinary people, and it is a matter of being very important to be stored in it; this child's desire to explore is extremely strong, and the idea of opening the Buddha's head is there, this heart is like an itchy worm scratching the stomach of the little three guns, and the three guns then hold this head to look left and right, and carefully touch and touch, I don't know where to start; you say how can you be so inch, the three guns held the Buddha's head and thought hard for a long time, then shook his mind slightly, and his hands were lighter, and the Buddha's head accidentally slipped from his handsA tooth in the Buddha's mouth happened to hit the head of an imitation bronze sword, and the Buddha's head creaked and made a sound, and the Buddha's head slowly opened.

A book fell out of the Buddha's head, emitting an earthy smell. The so-called earthy smell usually refers to some earthy masters who dig graves and rob the ground, and they have stayed underground for a long time, and some smell will inevitably come out of their bodies. The reason why Xiao Sanpao can smell this smell is because when he used to run the rivers and lakes, he often had to spend the night in the broken temples in the wilderness, when the soldiers were in chaos, there was no food and no clothing, there were dead people everywhere, there were dead corpses everywhere on the road, rats, wild dogs were hungry and red-eyed, and began to eat the corpses of dead people to feed their stomachs, and then they were crazy with hunger, and even the living dared to bite; in order to avoid these wild dogs and mice, Xiao Sanpao and his master often found dead people's coffins to sleep in, and it was better to sleep in the coffin than to sleep outside, so over time, the three guns also got used to the smell of earth。 As soon as Sancang smelled the book, he knew which curtain the book must have been stolen from, and it must have been preserved so well that it must have been treated with special treatment, so he couldn't wait to open the book.

This book is called the Linglan Secret Classic, the author is unknown, but on the title page of the book is drawn a domineering sword and an axe engraved with many ghost heads, which describes a lot of strange things from ancient times to the present, from historical events, five elements gossip, yin and yang feng shui, to the secret of the Taoist sect are all there and equipped with hand-painted pictures, from the ancient fertility worship to the all-encompassing Oriental evil arts, star chess Luobu, eye-catching, many are also painted in a spicy style, see the three guns of the little face blushing, the heart is pounding. Sanpao's eyes were glued to the content of the book at once, and he read it until late at night, and he heard the sound of scolding from the outhouse, so he put the book back to the Buddha's head, and quickly withdrew to the Buddha hall. Sanpao hurriedly sat back on the futon, closed his eyes and meditated and recited the scriptures, and recited in a gullible manner: "At noon on the day of hoeing, sweat drops down the river, who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is all happy." The little steward outside, looking inside from the outside of the door, saw that Xiao Sanpao was reciting the scriptures aggressively, and said strangely: "Why hasn't this kid been seen for a long time, and now he can recite Buddhist scriptures." But he didn't think much about it, so he returned to the pillar outside the Buddha hall, looked up at the moon and thought about those things in the treasure bureau. After the old man and the rich man came back from the warlord, they came back and scalded their feet, drank a small half bowl of soothing tea, and fell asleep directly. In the next three months, Xiao Sanpao took advantage of the old lady and the rich man to go out to socialize, and sneaked into the inner room to open the Buddha's head and read a book. One day, Sanpao happened to see the passage of the boy, remembering that he was used to guide the boy when he was led into the rich man's house by the housekeeper, so he read it carefully, I didn't know it, I was startled at a look, and the cold sweat immediately came out of the back of the neck, it turned out that he was used as a living sacrifice, if it weren't for the old lady who was still alive, he would have burped a fart a long time ago, and decided to leave here quickly; , ran out of the county town with the moonlight on his back in one breath, and ran until the sky turned white, and then he stopped panting heavily. As the saying goes, nothing is too long at night, and if there is something to do, these three cannons know that they have run away from the old lady's house, but this is the old lady's lifeline, if the old lady knows that the book is gone with him, it must be inseparable from himself, the whole world has to come to him, if he is caught, he really doesn't know what the way to die, the rich man's family and the warlords around the local area have a relationship, no matter how fast he runs, he can't run out of the county outside the county to a third of an acre, this land can't hide, can only hide in this mountain. The three guns breathed evenly, and then continued to run vigorously, simply the three guns were young and strong, and they had practiced hard kung fu since childhood, once they were desperate, like a little flyer, they ran vigorously to the depths of a no-man's mountain called Devil's Mouth.

The mouth of the devil is surrounded by peaks, the mountain is steep, the jungle is lush, the ancient trees are towering, the grass is full of poisonous snakes, insects and ants, the mountain is full of fog, the swamp gas is misty, the legend is that the rebel Li Yuanhao and the leader of the Song soldiers Fan Yong fought here for seven days and seven nights, the blood flowed into a river, the corpses were all over the field, and later Li Yuanhao was defeated and fled to Sichuan to build Xixia, the Song army was unable to clean up the battlefield, so the bones of tens of thousands of soldiers were buried into this big mountain, and then the bones were buried too much, the resentment was suffocated, and the mountain god was angered, the mountain god swallowed the soldiers who filled the corpse together with the bones, and the devil's mouth was named because of this; the surrounding residents often looked for medicinal materials around the deep mountains, but never dare to go into the mountains, legend has it that there are often lonely ghosts in the deep mountains, many villagers have heard with their own ears, according to a Taoist feng shui yin and yang Mr. said, this mountain rushes to the north, is located in repentance, the mountain is angry, if it is not for the four heavenly kings around the pressure, this devil mouth may have to eat the living people here. In the past, some of the surrounding local warlords have sent troops to search the mountain, but when the spies came back, they said that they could hear ghosts screaming in the middle of the night, and some of them disappeared inexplicably, which was particularly evil, and the terrain in the mountain was very unfavorable to military defense work, so that the local warlords and the beards did not dare to touch the mountain.

On the third day of Sanpao's escape from the rich man's house, the notices of wanting Luo Sanpao began to be pasted one after another on the streets and alleys of dozens of surrounding counties, and the stinky big foot and the Gestapo in the county town are all over the world looking for Luo Sanpao, who is wondering in their hearts, that is, the evil is full of evil, and the heinous prostitution and thief avenue has not been so concerned about the local ** back then, what kind of crime can a little kid commit, can he make this head angry like this, is it really this Sun Monkey who has come down to earth to poke a hole in this day?

It is said that this Luo Sanpao ran day and night and finally ran to the foot of the mountain at the mouth of the devil, and the high point of the fruit offering taken from the Buddha hall had long been eaten, and the people were tired and thirsty, and as soon as the small body got into the depths of the forest, he immediately found a big tree with lush foliage and climbed up, leaning on the body of the tree, hiding in the leaves, his eyelids sank, he fell asleep, and dreamed. In the dream, Luo Sanpao dreamed that he was lying on a mattress made of a whole goatskin, surrounded by the fragrance of yellow sandalwood, a graceful maid with an air like a quiet orchid, Huarong graceful maid was holding a bowl of rock sugar pear rose soup came over, the breeze came slowly, slightly blowing a strand of hair on her forehead, the sun hit her thin side face and flashed a slight light, Sanpao quietly stared at the girl's innocent eyes, not moving, the girl's movements also seemed to be as stunned as his gaze stopped there, not moving forward. Sanpao looked at the pair of clear eyes, as if he could see the water, and then the eyes really appeared a small splash of whirlpool, and then the whirlpool hit faster and faster, bigger and bigger, and Sanpao became more and more thirsty, and then he felt that the whole house was on fire from the beginning, he wanted people to put out the fire, but he couldn't say anything, he was getting hotter and hotter, wanted to take off his clothes, wanted to drink water, and then he saw that the whirlpool disappeared, and instead the old lady came over with a bowl of soup, grinning, and said: " Three guns, you're thirsty, drink quickly, drink quickly. Xiao Sanpao wanted to tell him that the house was on fire, run away, and suddenly the person froze, and felt that something was wrong, and then he suddenly saw the old lady suddenly have a fierce look in his eyes, and a knife suddenly appeared in his hand, against Sanpao's face, and screamed: "Give me back my book, give it back to me," Sancang didn't dare to move, his voice was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't send it if he wanted to, and then he saw the old lady cut the knife to his face, and cut off his face one by one... Then the old lady disappeared, and suddenly found himself in a dark shadow. At his feet, a big snake with a head like a giant vat and eyes like a red light was beating something, and it was about to come up and bite itself with its mouth open. At this time, Luo Sanpao's whole person suddenly woke up from his dream, and as soon as he woke up, he felt that the tree behind him was shaking, and there seemed to be a black shadow under his feet that was slowly climbing up, and something seemed to be hitting the tree on the ground. Luo Sanpao, who had just woken up from a nightmare, was first taken aback by this scene, but after many years of walking the rivers and lakes and sleeping in a coffin, his heart was extremely tough, and when he stabilized his mind, he shouted below: "Below, are you a human or a ghost, reply to it." ”

The black shadow under his feet suddenly stopped, and then shouted hysterically: "His grandmother's, the brother above, alas, pull your brother and me, you fat brother and I can't hold it anymore, there is a sow hitting the tree below." As he spoke, he slowly climbed up, and the three guns looked really personal, and his voice was still very loud when he heard it, he knew that in this kind of deep mountains and dense forests, the wild boar was short-tempered and very fierce, and even the tiger did not dare to touch him, if the person was targeted, it would not be good. Immediately shouted: "Below, you slowly climb up." I'll come down and get you. Immediately, the three guns held the body of the tree with both hands, slid down from the top of the tree, slid to the bottom of the place where there was a branch, stretched out a hand and said: "Hey, climb up below, I'll catch you here." The dark shadow below shouted back, "Got it, brother." Then he climbed up a little more, and when he reached the trunk of the tree, he firmly held the hand of the three cannons, and the three cannons and the black shadow worked together, and the black shadow went up the trunk of the tree at once, and his chest rose and fell, and he gasped for breath.

Through the moonlight, Sanpao saw the black shadow clearly, it turned out to be a small fat man of his own age and a strong body, who was panting hard at this time, shaking off his clothes and exuding heat. When the fat man gasped for breath, he saw Luo Sanpao clearly and said, "Brother, thank you, my fat brother owes you this, and I will pay you back next time." After speaking, he touched his chest, took out two big white steamed buns from his arms, gave one to the third cannon, and swallowed it himself. The third cannon didn't ask much, and when he saw that there was a big white steamed bun, he quickly grabbed it and gnawed it. In this way, the two strange teenagers leaned their backs against the tree, listened to the sound of wild boars hitting the trees under the trees, and gnawed on the big white buns in the bleak moonlight in the sky and the shadows of the surrounding trees.
