Immediately after, there were two more "click" and "click" sounds, and everyone looked at each other, and before they could make any reaction, the boat "banged" and split apart, and everyone "poof" and "poof" all fell into the water.

The river water is cold and biting, fortunately, the current in this area is not too fast, the master is quick and quick, grabbed a large piece of broken wooden plank, several people emerged in the water, all put their hands on the plank, argued the direction, worked together, and swam towards the shore together.

After swimming ashore, everyone was exhausted, and they didn't care about the cold, so they lay on the shore and gasped for breath.

After a long time, he finally got out of breath, but then the biting chill hit, and except for Xiaoqing, everyone else was soaked in wet clothes.

Xiao Laodao looked at the shore at this time, and actually showed a hint of a smile, and said tremblingly: "The mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, this God...... It's okay, it's okay to treat us! ”

When the master heard this, he also looked at the shore, and saw that there was a dense mountain forest on the shore, and the cliff that had blocked their way before happened to be bypassed by them along the river.

The riverbank is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the terrain is very similar to the previous village, but there are no villages, only trees and weeds, and the peaks are not too high, so you can climb them on foot, and the conditions are generally much better than the previous village.

Afterwards, the people climbed up the hill in the wet cold and cut down some dry branches. After the fire fold was soaked in water, it could no longer be used, Xiao Laodao took out the fire sickle flint, found some dead leaves and kneaded them into fluff, used the fire sickle to make fire, and lit a bonfire.

Because of Xiaoqing's presence, everyone couldn't take off their clothes, so they smoked on the fire. In a blink of an eye, the sky darkened, and everyone's clothes were almost roasted, and they ate something and slept on the floor by the river.

The next day, everyone climbed the hillside and continued to shuttle between the mountains and mountains, rushing forward.

Two days later, there was a town under the mountain, the town looked very prosperous, and very close to the river, and when everyone came closer, they found that it was actually an ancient city, a simple and ancient stone city wall, above the city gate hole, it was written - White Emperor City.

The master looked at the three big characters on the city gate, and couldn't help but wonder, "Between the white emperor and the clouds, thousands of miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day...... The 'White Emperor' mentioned in Li Bai's poems, is this what he is talking about? ”

Xiao Laodao smiled, "It's not where is it, this is the famous White Emperor City, it is said that at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, the heroes competed, Gongsun Shu built a city in this mountain and called the emperor, because a well in the city often emitted white gas, like a white dragon, Gongsun Shu took this to call himself 'White Emperor', and this city was called the White Emperor City by later generations. ”

The grandfather didn't stay too much in the White Emperor City, but just went into the city to buy a few days of dry food and prepared some straw ropes.

In the afternoon, I came to the Baidi City Ferry, perhaps because of the geographical location and beautiful scenery surrounded by mountains on three sides, which made the ferry very busy.

However, there were officers and soldiers at the ferry, men, women, and children, and they did not let go of those who boarded the boat, but did not check those who disembarked.

Xiao Laodao hurriedly beckoned a few masters, continued to walk along the riverside, and found a small ferry to cross the river without officers and soldiers checking it.

Everyone had to leave the White Emperor City and continue to move forward, and there were about ten miles ahead, and finally a small ferry port appeared by the river, but everyone waited at the ferry for a long time, but they didn't see a boat.

In desperation, I can only continue to move forward.

I don't know how far I went out, and I came to a county town near the river, at this time, the river in the north-south direction has become an east-west direction, and there is also a ferry port by the county river, but it is also closely checked by officers and soldiers.

The grandfather was very depressed, stopped an old fisherman with a good face, and asked him why there were so many officers and soldiers at the ferry? The old fisherman didn't seem to know very well, and said vaguely, as if he was arresting a few court felons, and several felons might have to cross the river to the other side in the near future.

When the old fisherman heard him say this, he was all secretly relieved, the government is so prosperous, as long as it is not for the sake of strange treasures.

However, in this way, the master and a few people will not be able to cross the river again, if they lose these grave-digging objects in the baggage, in case the strange treasure appears in the tomb, they can only stare at it at that time.

Xiao Laodao said to a few people, if you really can't go forward, you can only hide these objects first.

At this time, everyone had completely entered the Shu land, and both sides of the river were full of mountains, and some places could not be walked at all, let alone riding horses.

Ten days later, the grandfather and a few people came to a county seat, the small city is not big, the back of the mountains and rivers, at this time, the sky has darkened, however, the grandfather and a few people did not enter the city, because there are many temples and Taoist temples near the city, Xiao Laodao wants to find a Taoist temple to spend the night, one to try to be clean, and the other to avoid people's eyes and ears.

Xiao Laodao led everyone to look outside the city, and finally, on a remote mountainside, he found a lonely and inconspicuous Taoist temple, a dilapidated courtyard, and three dilapidated tiled houses in it.

When I came to the door, the courtyard door was closed, and the room inside was not lit, Xiao Laodao raised his hand to pat the courtyard door, the courtyard door was not inserted, please pat it and open it inside.

A few people didn't rush into the courtyard, and looked inside, the small courtyard was not big, it was dark inside, and in the middle of the courtyard, there was a big incense burner. ”

No one answered, waited for a while, shouted again, still no one answered, the master said: "It's like an empty temple where no one lives." ”

Xiao Laodao shook his head, "There should be someone to live, otherwise grass should have grown at the door and in the courtyard, maybe the people inside have just gone out, let's not go in yet, wait at the door for a while." ”

After waiting at the door for a while, no one came back, and there was no movement in the Taoist temple.

At this time, the sky was already dark, Xiao Chu lit a torch at nine o'clock, and everyone rushed in. After looking at all three houses, I finally found that it was indeed an empty temple, with only statues of gods and no tables, chairs and beds. Xiao Laodao speculated that the people in the temple should not live here, but they would often come over to make incense and clean.

Since there is no one, the grandfather is not so restrained, after putting incense on the statue in the main hall, Xiaoqing lived in the right wing, and the grandfather lived in the left wing.

For so many days, they have been sleeping in the mountains and forests, and this time, they finally have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

After eating, several people closed the door of the courtyard gate and slept soundly. However, accidents always happen at night.

Just when the master was sleeping soundly, he suddenly heard the sound of knocking wooden fish in the courtyard, tu, tu, tu, tu......

The master immediately opened his eyes, thinking that he was dreaming, but the sound of wooden fish in his ears did not stop. Gently got up from the cover, walked to the window and looked outside, and saw a small child sitting cross-legged in front of the stone incense burner in the courtyard, eight or nine years old, holding a mallet in one hand and a wooden fish in the other, knocking and muttering in a low voice.

When the master saw this scene, he was puzzled, in the middle of the night, a child didn't sleep, and ran here to knock on the wooden fish and chant the scriptures, which was also too abnormal.

The master walked to the door, gently pulled the door, with the door creaked, the door was opened by the grandfather, at this time, the children in the courtyard did not notice, still there knocking on the wooden fish chanting.

The grandfather stepped out of the door, walked to the child in a few steps, looked at the child, and saw that the child's eyes were slightly closed, and the eyes were looking at the nose, nose, mouth, mouth, and heart, with a solemn face, and it looked really like that.

The grandfather squatted down and asked the child softly: "Whose child are you, why do you come here in the middle of the night to recite scriptures?" ”

The child actually ignored the master, as if he didn't hear what the master said, the master raised his hand and flicked the pigtail on the back of the child's head, "Boy, master, I ask you, whose child?" ”

After a while, the child finally stopped moving, opened his eyes and slowly looked directly at the grandfather, the grandfather and his eyes were a pair, and his heart jumped, and he saw that the child's eyes were deep and calm, which was not at all eight or nine years old children could have.

The master couldn't help but blurt out another question, "Who are you?" ”

The child glanced at the master, "Little vulgar, Hugh is rude, don't hurry up and give this Buddha a retreat!" Although the voice that came from the child's mouth was a child's voice, the tone was that of an old monk.

However, when the master heard this, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, and said: "It's you who should retreat, this is the place of Taoist cultivation, what kind of scriptures did you come to chant as a monk!" ”

"This Buddha comes everywhere, goes everywhere, and doesn't need you to meddle in your affairs."

"If you say that, I'll take care of it!" The master suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the child's wrist, and clasped his fingers on the pulse.

At this time, the child raised his hand suddenly, shook off the grandfather, and said in a low voice: "The layman is rude, do you know who this Buddha is?" ”

The master said coldly: "I don't care who you are, as long as you leave this child's body, I will let you live!" ”

The child suddenly became angry, "This Buddha is a great day!" ”

"What did you say?" When the master heard this, he almost didn't laugh, he had seen a goblin who could brag, but he had never seen one that could brag like this.

The master stretched out his hand again, grabbed the child's wrist again, and pinched the bone gap between the child's wrist and the palm, the child immediately grinned, but did not beg for mercy, and smashed the wooden fish in the other hand towards the door of the master's face, the speed was extremely fast, and there was still a sound of wind.

The master didn't let go, but also raised his other hand and slapped it on the wooden fish. Looking at the child's hand again, the wooden fish was gone, and it was shot out by the master and broken into four petals.

The child suddenly screamed, jumped up from the ground, buckled the wrist of the master, waved his arm, the whole body of the master was actually thrown up by the child with one hand, the master was suddenly shocked, he had never seen such a powerful goblin, and quickly turned over in the air, and fell behind the child.

"Om Ma Mi ......"

The grandfather's eyes suddenly darkened, his brain and ears were buzzing, and then he looked at the child, his whole body was shining with golden light, and a round of the big sun was sitting behind him......
