It turned out that those who were taught by Shi Wengong and the three of them before were the people who escorted the birthday gang this year, and in the original trajectory, they should also be intercepted in this Peach Blossom Mountain. It's just that Li Zhong and Zhou Tong at that time just wanted to rob some money and send it to Lu Zhishen to entangle on the road, so they didn't ask where they came from.

At this time, although Li Zhouren did not personally go down the mountain to prepare for Lu Zhishen, they still provoked Shi Wengong and the three of them because of their own death, so that they once again lost this batch of birth gangs, which can really be described as time and fate.

However, Shi Wengong and the three of them still had to rush to Tokyo, so naturally they couldn't walk with this 100,000 birthdays, so Shi Wengong handed it over to Li Zhong and Zhou Tong for safekeeping, and ordered them to transfer everyone in Taohua Village and the villagers of Taohua Village in batches.

After explaining this, Shi Wengong and the three of them only stayed in the village for the night, and set out on the road to Tokyo again at dawn the next day.

Li Zhong and Zhou Tong were supposed to offer three horses for Shi Wengong and the three of them to gallop, but this move was rejected by Shi Wengong, and he only listened to him, "You still need to transfer personnel and money, and you need horses more than the three of me, I think you should stay with these three horses." ”

In this way, on the next road, Shi Wengong and the three of them all walked on only two feet, in Shi Wengong's words, this can be regarded as a kind of grinding. As the so-called journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Shi Wengong and the three of them talked and laughed all the way, stopped and stopped, and before they knew it, it was dusk. Shi Wengong saw that it was getting late, so he suddenly thought of the problem of his group of three staying tonight.

"Eh, there is no village in front of here, and there is no store in the back, where should we go to rest?"

As soon as Shi Wengong's words fell, Lu Zhishen then heard the sound of the bell in the distance. Immediately, Lu Zhishen said, "Brother Shi, rest assured, there must be a place for me to rest, I can hear the sound of the bell in front of the eaves, presumably it is not a temple, it is a palace, Brother Shi and Brother Hao can go with the sprinkle family to spend the night." ”

"Okay, then according to what Brother Zhishen said, let's go."

Immediately, under the leadership of Lu Zhishen, Shi Wengong and his entourage really found the place that Lu Zhishen said. The three of them looked up, but they saw a ruined monastery, and the wind blew the bells. When you look at the mountain gate, there is an old vermilion plaque with four golden characters inside, which reads "The Temple of Clay Pots".

Shi Wengong and the three of them were all very happy when they saw that there was a temple, and then Lu Zhishen knocked on the door and asked.

"Dare to ask if there is anyone in the temple? Some monks came to fast. ”

Lu Zhishen shouted several times in a row, but did not get the slightest response. Then Shi Wengong was puzzled and said, "Brother Zhishen, I think this place should have been dilapidated for a long time, and no one lives there." ”

After hearing this, Lu Zhishen also nodded and said, "I think it's the same, since that's the case, then let's take this treasure to rest for a night." Then, Shi Wengong and the three of them stepped into this clay pot temple together.

After the three of them entered the temple, Lu Zhishen first explored everywhere to see if there was really no one here.

Under Lu Zhishen's exploration, he found that in a small room behind the kitchen, there were several yellow-faced and thin-skinned old monks sitting on the ground, as if they were cooking something.

Lu Zhishen was furious when he saw that there were people in the temple, and said, "You old monks, it's so unreasonable!" Ren Sa's family called like that, but no one answered! ”

Shi Wengong and Hao Siwen heard Lu Zhishen shouting, their hearts tightened, and then they hurriedly rushed over with their weapons. After seeing Lu Zhishen arguing with a few old monks, the two relaxed.

Then Shi Wengong stepped forward and said, "Brother Zhishen, you dissipate your anger first, and see what they say, it's not too late to get angry." ”

"Hmph, for the sake of my Brother Shi's face, the Sprinkle family will not pursue your previous failure to respond to the Sprinkle family's questioning. But if it is getting late today, and the Sprinkler family and the two brothers are hungry, you must hand over what is cooked in the pot behind you. ”

"Huh?" After hearing that Lu Zhishen still wanted the food cooked in their pot, these old monks couldn't sit still any longer. Then a person cried to Lu Zhishen.

"Master no, I haven't eaten for three days, and we still have to work hard to find these things, if you snatch them away, Master, it will cost me and the lives of others, and I hope that the master will show mercy!"

"I hope the master will show mercy!" Under the leadership of this old monk, some people behind him also hurriedly bowed down to Lu Zhishen and the others, which made Lu Zhishen and the three of them a little overwhelmed.

Later, it was Shi Wengong who took the lead in reacting, and asked, "How can you have such a big temple without even a little food, aren't you bluffing me and other brothers!" ”

Hearing Shi Wengong's question, the old monk who spoke before said with a bitter face, "I'm a non-trivial place here." Just because it is a resident of the ten directions, a wandering monk led a Taoist to come here as an abbot, and destroyed all the permanent residents. ”

"The two of them did everything, and drove all the monks out, and I couldn't walk a few old people, so I had to live here, so I had nothing to eat."

After hearing this, Lu Zhishen was furious and said, "Nonsense! Measure him as a monk and a Taoist, and do a lot of things, but don't go to the government to sue him? ”

The old monk said, "The master doesn't know, this place is far away from the yamen, don't say that the people in the yamen don't want to come here, even if they come, those officials and soldiers are usually idle, and they can't help him." This monk and Taoist people are so good, they are all murderers and arsonists, and now they are sheltering in a place behind the abbot. ”

Seeing the poor appearance of these old monks, Hao Siwen's heart was a little more touched, especially the old monk said before that the people in the yamen were too far away to come here, and even if they came, it would be useless, which deeply touched Hao Siwen's heart.

"I can't imagine that the world has become like this now, if the officials and soldiers in the world are all useless people, then why do I Hao Siwen have to be those officials and soldiers who are useless to the people and are spurned by others?"

Putting aside what Hao Siwen was thinking, he only heard Lu Zhishen ask after hearing the old monk say that the two were strong in martial arts, "What are these two callings?" ”

The old monk said, "The monk's surname is Cui, his law name is Daocheng, and he is nicknamed 'Pig Iron Buddha'." That Taoist surnamed Qiu, ranked Xiaoyi, nicknamed 'Flying Yaksha'. These two seem to be monks, just thieves in the green forest, and they take this monk as a nest. ”

When Lu Zhishen heard this, he couldn't tolerate him, and then he looked at Shi Wengong, only to see Shi Wengong nodding with a smile and saying, "Let's go, we will accompany Brother Zhishen on a journey." ”

"Well, let's go." Immediately, under the guidance of the old monk, Lu Zhishen and the three of them strode towards the resting place of the two monks.
