There were thunderstorms in the summer, and one day lightning actually split the stone lion in front of the Liu ancestral hall in half.

The lioness who was struck by lightning was placed on the right side of the door, and the lioness stepped on the lion cub at her feet, implying that the people of the clan were prosperous, and it was very unlucky to be struck by lightning.

The people in the village were a little frightened, and they discussed it in private, and the patriarch and the village chief Liu Shun and several old people in the clan got together to discuss countermeasures.

The old patriarch said to everyone: "Since I can remember, the stone lion has stood at the door of the ancestral hall, and I heard the ancestors say that this stone lion has been hundreds of years old, and the ancestral hall has been repaired again and again, but the stone lion has been intact, but this time it is actually ......."

The old patriarch couldn't hold back his tears as he spoke, and several other old people also became sad.

Everyone unanimously decided to invite a monk or Taoist priest with high Taoism to come to the village to help see if there was anything wrong, and then the clan would pool money to ask a craftsman to re-carve a pair of stone lions.

The old patriarch and Liu Shun went to the town to find a master in an ox cart together, and the two of them looked for a long time in the town and did not see a monk and Taoist, so they had to go to the most famous master Zhang in the town to order a stone lion.

Master Zhang is very famous, I heard that many people in the county town come to him to work, in recent years, Master Zhang's shop has tripled, and there are seven or eight more apprentices.

After the old patriarch agreed with Master Zhang about the stone lion, he asked Master Zhang's apprentice where to find a monk or Taoist priest.

Master Zhang has an apprentice who is very fat and is called Zhang Fatzi, his eyes narrowed when he laughed, and he usually likes to inquire about some gossip and interesting things.

Zhang Fatzi said to the old patriarch: "Old man, don't you know? In the past two years, there have been some changes, there is a Taoist priest who fooled Wu Million in the town, and was beaten half to death by Wu Million, after the Taoist priest was injured, he was stupid, and he picked up garbage everywhere in the town all day long, and since then it has been difficult to see monks and Taoists in our town. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone chimed in: "Yes, yes, I heard that the Taoist priest is very popular in the village below, and women often come to the town to inquire about him, and there is a widow who says that she wants the mad Taoist priest to marry her." ”

The two old patriarchs returned to Liujia Village in disappointment, and after returning to the village, they discussed with several old people in the clan. Old patriarch: "I can't find a monk and Taoist priest nearby, so it seems that I can only go to the Imperial Bath Temple and invite a famous monk to come and help the village take a look." ”

The Imperial Bath Temple was far away, and it took at least a day and a half to go back and forth, and everyone finally voted unanimously to let the village chief Liu Shun go to the Imperial Bath Temple to invite the master.

Liu Shun didn't want to go, he had heard that there were mountain bandits near the Imperial Bath Temple, but the elders had already made a decision, so he had to stiffen his neck.

He thought about it, the most powerful people in the village at present are the old man Hua and Xiao Qi, the daughter of the Dahe family, and the old man Hua has not come back yet, so there is only Xiao Qi.

So Liu Shun told Liu Dahe that he valued his Xiaoqi's strength and wanted Xiao Qi to accompany him to the Imperial Bath Temple, Liu Dahe knew that this was a major event in the clan, so he had to agree.

Early in the morning, Liu Shun set off with Xiao Qi, and the ox cart finally arrived at the foot of Huangyu Mountain after driving for most of the day, it was already noon, and Xiao Qi was so hungry that he cooed: "Uncle Village Chief, let's eat something first." ”

Liu Shun: "Didn't everyone say that your mother's food was delicious?" Why are you empty-handed? ”

Xiao Qi: "You notified too late, and our family didn't have time to prepare." ”

There are many small restaurants at the foot of the mountain, Liu Shun deposited the ox cart in a mountain man's house, promised to give him two cents after going down the mountain, and then took Xiao Qi into a small restaurant that looked simple.

After entering the door, Liu Shun sat down at the table: "Boss, come and have five steamed buns." Seeing that the proprietress was very beautiful, Liu Shun couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Soon the proprietress came over, she put the big plate with steamed buns on the table, a pair of hooked eyes glanced at Liu Shun, Liu Shun's head suddenly did not obey the call, this boss lady is really plump, walking with a twist of the buttocks, it is too tempting.

When Liu Shun came back to his senses and moved his gaze back to the table, he found that the plate of steamed buns was empty.

Liu Shun glared at Xiao Qi, cleared his throat, and spoke out again to the proprietress: "Boss, five more steamed buns." ”

This time, Liu Shun took advantage of the boss's kung fu to make steamed buns, and secretly touched the boss's little white hands, the proprietress was very powerful, and actually gave him a wink, Liu Shun's heart was suddenly bubbling.

After eating, Liu Shun walked up to the proprietress and asked with a smile, "Boss, how much?" ”

"Ten taels of silver."

Liu Shun's smiling face immediately froze: "How much?" ”

"Ten taels of silver."

Liu Shun's eyes widened: "Why don't you go and rob it, you can buy two steamed buns for a penny in Phoenix Town, and you actually charge one or two pieces of silver here." ”

Saying that, Liu Shun threw five cents on the table and was about to leave, but the five big men came out and guarded the door to block the way, and Liu Shun collapsed to the ground with a weak foot.

The proprietress smiled: "I will charge one or two pieces of silver, and one naturally has my own reason." ”

Xiao Qi pulled up Liu Shun and rushed to the door, pulling the big man who blocked the door apart, and Liu Shun immediately drilled out like a loach.

He ran with all his strength, but suddenly turned around and found that Xiao Qi hadn't followed, Liu Shun sighed, he couldn't care so much now, it was important to go to the master first, anyway, the daughter of the Dahe family was amazing.

But this Imperial Bath Mountain is really high! Liu Shun looked up at the towering Imperial Bath Mountain and cried out in his heart, he was already on this, he couldn't turn around and go back, right? He shook his legs and climbed up, stopping and stopping all the way, and met many pilgrims coming down the mountain, and it seemed that the incense of the Imperial Bath Temple was quite vigorous.

Liu Shun is quite a clever person, he inquired with a few pilgrims, and everyone said that the master of Tianyin in the Imperial Bath Temple is very famous.

Liu Shun climbed and crawled, exerting his strength to eat, and finally arrived at the gate of the Imperial Bath Temple, he walked into the temple with trembling legs, and stuffed two coins for the little monk standing in front of the main hall, and asked him to help introduce Master Tianyin.

After the little monk came back from a circle, his nostrils turned to the sky and said to him: "Our Master Tianyin is too busy, saying that we don't have time to see you." ”

Liu Shun was a little annoyed in his heart, flicked his sleeves and turned to leave, saying in his heart that if this is near Liujia Village, who will not give him face.

The little monk snorted at Liu Shun's back: "The masters of other families came to Master Tianyin and gave me all silver, you poor ghost, but you only sent me two small coins, you deserve not to see Master Tianyin." ”

The Imperial Bath Temple is built on the top of the mountain, Liu Shun stands outside the temple gate and looks down the mountain, this mountain is really high, the monks here can't climb high in Liujia Village, and they will let the people in the village down after going back.

He walked down the mountain in a frustrated mood, and met a fat monk halfway up the mountain, and the monk took the initiative to talk to Liu Shun: "I see that the donor's face is not worried, is there something troublesome?" ”

Liu Shun didn't have a good time today, and he had long wanted to find someone to talk to, so he said: "Our village ancestral hall is going to rearrange the stone lions, and I want to ask a master to help me take a look, so I went to the Imperial Bath Temple, but the little monk told me that Master Tianyin was not available." ”

Fat monk: "It sounds like a merit, why don't I accompany you on a trip, I am Master Tianyin's junior brother Tianfeng." ”

Liu Shun looked over and saw that the monk's chubby face was smiling, which looked very similar to the Maitreya Buddha in the temple, so Liu Shun thought about it, and then thought that the village did not have to invite Master Tianyin, and the Tianfeng monk in front of him also looked quite good.

Liu Shun gave a salute: "Then trouble Master Tianfeng to go to Liujia Village with me." ”

Master of the Heavenly Winds: "Good, good, good. ”

Liu Shun took Master Tianfeng down the mountain, retrieved the ox cart from the mountain people, and rushed back all the way, Xiao Qi had long been forgotten by him.
