After Yue Fei inquired about the road, he went to Liquan with Zhao Gou, Wang Gui and others. Liquan was behind the mountain, and the five of them went out of the nunnery, following the path guided by the little novice, and the twists and turns of the mountain road made the five of them a little surprised. After a while, they came to the middle of the mountain, and sure enough, they saw a clear spring not far ahead, flowing slowly down.

"Big brother, do you really listen to what Xiao Shami said, we just stop and watch, and don't do anything?" Tang Huai couldn't help but ask.

Yue Fei smiled slightly and said, "That's a word used to fool the little novice, didn't we come here to get spring water." The old monk was stingy and unwilling to take spring water from his master. As disciples, we should come on our own and honor his old man. As for the words of the old monk, there is nothing to worry about. ”

Zhao Gou couldn't help but look at Yue Fei with a smile, and secretly thought: "Marshal Yue, who is famous in history, actually has such a side. It's not that Elder Zhiming is stingy, but because of this, there is a divine object waiting for the master to come. That person is you, and you should be able to see the rumored sharpshooter soon. ”

"Wang Gui, I ordered you to get the bowl, have you brought it?" Yue Fei turned his head and looked at Wang Gui intently.

Wang Gui hurriedly took out two large bowls from his arms and said, "What the eldest brother ordered, how can I be careless, I have already quietly taken two large bowls, it should be enough." ”

Yue Fei took the ceramic bowl handed over by Wang Gui, the mouth of the bowl was wide, he knocked it lightly again, couldn't help nodding, and said, "These two big bowls are enough to fill several small cups, they should be enough." Just take some spring water, let the old monk see it, and see how powerful we are. ”

Zhao Gou saw Yue Fei walking forward with great interest, his face tightened, and he admonished: "Big brother, be careful in everything, the younger brother thinks that there is something wrong with this, and he can't say what it is, in a word, you have to be careful." ”

"Fifth brother relax, just take some spring water, don't worry, just come for your brother!" Yue Fei smiled confidently.

Wang Gui also answered in surprise: "Fifth brother, the eldest brother just takes some spring water, don't worry." With the skills of a big brother, there can be no problem. Fetching some spring water is not an easy task. ”

Zhao Gou smiled and thought, "You'll know the reason later!" ”

The words were divided into two ends, and after the little novice told Yu Yue Fei and the others where Liquan was, he was still a little cautious in his heart, feeling that it was a little dangerous for them to go. After thinking about it again, he decided to inform Master Yu of the matter. When he walked into the guest hall, it happened that Elder Zhiming asked, "Senior brother, why don't you see Pengju and them?" ”

Zhou Tong saw Elder Zhiming asking, only then did he turn around and find that Yue Fei and the others had disappeared for some time, and he was a little surprised in his heart: "Maybe a few of them went to the mountains to enjoy the scenery, Senior Brother doesn't have to worry." Soon we will come, we will be leaving today, and we don't know when we will come out again in the future, so let them go around if they want! ”

Elder Zhiming asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zhou Tong said with a smile: "Several of them have been following me to practice martial arts, and they have practiced diligently every day, so they can not spend too much time to go out and parade." This time, my brother came, so I allowed them to rest and came with me to visit him. After all, the two of us have not seen each other for more than 40 years since we parted from Shaolin Temple, and we knew that our senior brother was coming, so how could we not come to visit. ”

Elder Zhiming nodded suddenly and said with a smile: "It's still the junior brother who is better, he is dedicated to pursuing martial arts, and he has accepted several disciples, and he has also accepted a son of a moth, which is really gratifying." ”

"Senior brother praises it!" When Zhou Tong heard Elder Zhiming's approval, his face showed a little smugness, but he said with some modesty: "Senior brother has pursued the promotion of Buddhism all his life, if it weren't for Senior Brother sending disciples down the mountain to spread the message, I don't know that Senior Brother came here to practice, and he should decide to stay and stop spreading Buddhism everywhere?" ”

Elder Zhiming smiled and said, "Since I met you, it proves that I am staying here and no longer wandering around." If you are 20 years younger, you may still be splashing around and continue to spread the Dharma. Now, there is nothing that can be done about the long journey. I can only stay in one place and stop running around. ”

Zhou Tong sighed: "Yes, time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, both of us are over the age of old, as if everything is like what happened yesterday." We are all old, and the times will be the world of young people. We don't know what will happen to the Great Song Dynasty in the future, so we can only pray in our hearts for long-term peace and stability and restore the prosperity of the past. ”

Seeing Elder Zhiming and Zhou Dong talking about the past, Xiao Shami was not easy to disturb, sometimes frowning, sometimes sad, sometimes sighing, his expression was seen by Elder Zhiming and Zhou Tong, and the two looked at each other in surprise. Elder Zhiming said in a low voice, "Dao Yue, what's the matter? ”

Dao Yue said respectfully: "Back to the master, the five disciples of Mr. Zhou asked the disciples about the Liquan located in the back mountain, and the disciples told them that the five of them must be by the Liquan water. ”

"What? How many of them did you tell Yu Pengju about the location of Liquan? Elder Zhiming stood up suddenly, shocked and trembling.

"Back to the master, the five of them said that they were going to the back mountain to watch the scenery in the mountains, and said that they were going to leave today, and they were a little reluctant, and they left after seeing the scenery. The disciples thought that they were reasonable, so they told Yu Li Spring where it was. Dao Yue nodded yes, and he told Elder Yu Zhiming everything about the matter.

Seeing Elder Zhiming's surprised appearance, Zhou Tong couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and thought, "Senior brother, what's wrong?" On weekdays, the wind is breezy and cloudy, and he never affects his mood because of anything; Today, how can he be so panicked, is there something hidden in the spring, or is the spring not what he said? ”

Elder Zhiming was nervous, frowning, secretly anxious, and seeing Zhou Tong's puzzled look, he knew that Zhou Dong had some misunderstandings, so he hurriedly explained: "Senior brother doesn't have to guess, there are some things that my brother hasn't made clear to you." In fact, the Drain Spring is still there, and I don't know when a thick snake appeared next to the Drain Spring, and that snake was so fierce that if he had no fear when he was young, he could only let it stay in the Drain Spring. ”

"If Pengju and the others do not heed the advice and take water privately, they will definitely disturb the big snake in the spring, and if they are bitten, it will be extremely dangerous. Your righteous son and several other disciples must have different expressions, they must have wanted to take some spring water and offer it to you, so that you can taste the sweet taste of the spring water, but I never thought that those boys would have such courage to meet the big snake in front of them! ”

Zhou Tong was taken aback, frowned, and said in surprise: "Senior brother, is there really a big snake in that spring?" ”

"You and my senior brother have been brothers for several years, how can you not know my character!" Elder Zhiming said angrily, "If it weren't for the fact that there was a big snake hidden in the spring water, how could I be stingy and not let you taste the taste of the spring water if you came to visit your old friend in the nunnery in person." However, the big snake has been entrenched in the spring water, if someone steps within three steps, it will reveal the head of the big snake, which makes people shudder, but it never hurts people, if it gets closer, it will raise the head of the snake high, staring at the comer, and take the initiative to attack. ”

Zhou Tong thought about it, and also felt that Elder Zhiming would not scare himself with this matter, and said anxiously: "What should I do?" ”

"Wait and see!" Elder Zhiming sighed helplessly and said, "According to the footsteps of a few of them, I'm afraid that we have already arrived near Liquan, even if we go, it will be useless, we can only hear the news." Moreover, they don't look like people who died young, there should be no danger, everything can only wait until they come back. ”

Zhou Tong smiled bitterly: "That's the only way!" ”

Elder Zhiming's words came true, and Yue Fei strode forward alone and in high spirits, even the stones that had been washed by the spring water all the year round were covered with moss, and he would slip on it if he was not careful. In his eyes, it was not a matter at all, walking on the ground, walking like flying to the spring.

Yue Fei was closer to the spring, and when he saw a big stone next to the spring, engraved with the four big characters of "Liquan Wonders", he exclaimed: "It is actually Su Dongpo's handwriting?" Could it be that Mr. Dongpo has also visited here? ”

Seeing the handwriting inscribed by Su Dongpo himself, Yue Fei believed in the extraordinary nature of the spring water, and he was fascinated, so he moved forward again. When his footsteps were only three steps away from the spring, a large snake head protruded from the crack in the stone, his eyes were shining, and he spat out the snake letter, and saliva flowed from his mouth, dripping and dripping into the water.

When he looked at the big snake head and saw the thick snake torso, cold sweat couldn't help but flow, and he stared at the snake with wide eyes. When Zhao Gou and the others saw that the snake was revealing the big snake head, they couldn't help but shudder, looking at it nervously, not daring to make the slightest sound.

Zhao Gou thought to himself: "This snake is thicker than the largest snake in the world, like a stone pillar, it is really shocking." ”

Although he knew the existence of this snake, the moment Zhao Gou saw it appear, he couldn't help but feel creepy, not to mention the others, goosebumps all over his body rose, and all of them widened their eyes, and there was a trace of surprise and panic in their eyes, even Yue Fei was taken aback.

However, the snake and Yue Fei stared at each other and did not move. Yue Fei looked at the snake carefully, saw its saliva dripping into the spring water, and thought: "This evil beast, without the slightest movement, must be a warning, and has never taken the initiative to hurt people." However, if it dwells in the springs and there are snakes dripping into the water, how can it continue to be used? ”

"No wonder the old monk said that there was danger in the spring, and it must be this snake. I don't know when, this big snake lived here. Since Mr. Dongpo came at this time and left a word, there should be nothing. Somehow, it appears? Since this big snake is reluctant to take the initiative to attack, it is just reminded that it is also spiritual, but it is a pity that if it is in the spring, it will be difficult to get water, and it must be expelled. ”

"If it's just an eviction, maybe I'll come back again after a while, it's not going to work; If you want to prevent future troubles, you can only beat it to death. Otherwise, if you hurt someone's life, it's not good. Even if you have some spirituality, you will die in the hands of the master today, if you want to complain, you should not stay here, block the master's water, you will admit it! ”
