In the early morning, a light mist like a light veil and a thin floc slowly gathers and disperses on the surface of the clear water and wavesless Jumo Lake, and the sound of the lake comes from far and near, and a light boat rows through the emerald lake, leaving an undulating ripple that passes through the swaying lotus leaves.

This piece of turquoise water with dozens of miles of vertical and horizontal water has the reputation of the emerald of Saibei in the northern border of the Dawu Dynasty, close to the natural barrier between the empire and the demon domain and the Fengxuan country, the Kunlun demon domain infested by the big demon and the Gobi Desert where bandits are rampant.

“...... The lotus leaves are green, the lotus stem is long, the lotus seed is bitter, the lotus is fragrant, the willow leaf boat, the lake is swinging, the white lotus root and the lover are ......"

The little girl sitting in the bow of the boat picked a pink lotus flower with her hands, and put her white and tender little hands like lotus roots into the cool lake water outside the boat and plucked at will, her cheeks were like pink, and the lotus flower with crystal dew in her hands reflected each other, she looked at the lotus leaves that seemed to be connected to the sky and the earth, and sang in a shallow and low voice with a tender and beautiful voice, like the first song of a young phoenix, which was exceptionally good.

The Dawu Dynasty was prosperous, the folk customs were open, there was no old-fashioned and mean etiquette, and even such a big little girl could put the folk tune with "Lover" on her lips, and it was easy to think of which girl was not pregnant.

What's more, on this misty lake, naturally there is no long, gossipy old pious woman, and the girl's singing voice is like a bird, shuttling briskly back and forth between lotus flowers and lotus leaves.

As a passenger and listener, the young man has a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, and the villain in front of him is like the words in "Ai Lian Said", "out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons".

Behind him, Lori's father, the tower-like black man who was shaking the oars, would use his fist to tell the unruly disciples what it meant to "watch from afar, but not to be played."

The young man even maliciously guessed and wrote "Ai Lian Said" Zhou Dada, who is a famous article through the ages, may be under the education of such heroes and heroes, and has to change from the unskilled profession of picking flowers and thieves to express in words that he can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour. Mistaken Flirting with Jia's Mother", "Dream of Red Mansions", ...... Various technical terms such as goblin fights came into being.

"Brother Xiaobai!"

The girl's singing stopped abruptly, and her eyes looked over like black jade, and her clear voice was soft and easy to push down.

Well?!

"Ahem, Xiaobai?"

The young man inexplicably felt a sudden change in his painting style.

What the hell is Xiaobai?

Little Lori tilted her little head with a hanging bun, as if she was a little puzzled.

"Call me brother, or brother of the Li family!"

Of course, the young man doesn't explain that "Xiaobai" is the exclusive term for a small broken dog raised by a bear child who likes to show his buttocks.

"Yes, brother, this flower is for you, brother!"

Xiao Lori was not only not angry, but full of joy, handed over the lotus flower in her hand, and the lotus root was upgraded to a lotus flower on the spot.

In her opinion, her brother's title is naturally closer than that of Xiaobai's brother.

The young man was stunned, his expression became weird, and he was actually given flowers by his sister, which was really embarrassing.

Girl, the action is so natural, you are so flirtatious, do you know it?

He laughed dryly twice and said, "This lotus flower is still the best match for Sakura, and the human-faced lotus flower is red." ”

The young man shamefully plagiarized and tampered with.

There was a hearty laugh behind him, and the terrible lung capacity shook the boat slightly, and the black man with knotted muscles didn't seem to mind what happened to his daughter and the Li family, a big family in Xiyan Town.

The young man's compliments and her father's laughter made little Lori Sakura seem to realize something, and her cheeks immediately turned red and she hung her head shyly.

A young offspring from a good family with a white and clean family background, which girl will not be pregnant.

The laughter fell into the ears of the young man, as if the big bad wolf stared at the little white rabbit full of malice, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately, he was not a casual person, otherwise he would have to compete for the Olympic swimming gold medal with the fish and shrimp in the lake at this time.

"Xiao Lang, how could you run to the foot of Kunlun Mountain, where monsters are infested, even the most daring hunter would not dare to go there. ”

Boss Bai borrowed a word to cover up the shame of his daughter's initial love, and he was indeed a witty father.

In the past two days, the town's leading households, the slaves and villagers of the Li family, are scurrying around like headless flies, and even the catchers who have always been lazy have followed the county lieutenant with an iron ruler in one hand and an iron chain in the other, and his eyes are red to search around, as if no one looks like a good person.

In order to find the third Xiaolang of his own family who had been missing for three days, Li Dahu and Li Yuanwai almost tossed the entire Xiyan Town and more than a dozen nearby Zhuangzi, especially the child-seeking bonus hanging by the Li family, which made many people involuntarily move and act.

Boss Bai, who was not interested in getting involved, accidentally found that the boat of his neighbor Wang Laoliu's family was missing, so he estimated that maybe it was secretly rowed out by Xiaolang of the Li family, and immediately took his daughter and drove his own boat along the lake to search.

If you can earn the reward of the Li family, Sakura's dowry will be settled, and she will have a good family in the future, and she will no longer have to fish Jumo Lake with herself.

Fortunately, at sunset, the father and daughter found a small boat lying on the shore of the lake on the other side of Jumo Lake, carrying heavy loads and floats, which was the fish boat lost by Wang Laoliu, but I don't know what kind of terrible experience I had encountered, the hull was almost fragmented, there was no way to carry people, and it was thankful that it could be supported to the shore.

Seeing the boat like this, Boss Bai's heart tightened, thinking that Li Xiaolang had encountered an accident, you must know that the other side of Jumo Lake is at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, and it is not surprising that there are man-eating monsters infested.

With the intention of cleaning up the corpse for the Li family Xiaolang, Boss Bai held a torch and followed some traces left on the shore, and before he went far, he saw a young man who was looking up at the starry sky in a daze.

"Well, it's a long story, on a dark and windy night, and you can't see your fingers......"

Little Lori Sakura's eyes gradually widened, and the Li family Xiaolang began to talk nonsense.

However, the extraordinarily clear moonlight, the vast mountains, the caves, the stone bowls, the bowls are only the size of a palm, delicate as the crystal lotus flowers of the glass, the inexplicable coercion of the heart, the obscure words and roars...... These fragments of memory, which could no longer be connected, kept looming in the young man's mind, like an absurd and strange dream.

“...... A flower is a world, a tree is a floating life, a grass is a paradise, a leaf is like a come, a sand is blissful, a pure land is a party, a smile is a dust, a thought is a quiet ......"

The chanting of the monks who were in a hurry spread far away to the lake, interrupting Li Xiaobai's Xiaobaiwen story, and the boat carrying the three of them gradually approached the lakeside on the side of Xiyan Town.

"Good morning, Master!"

Boss Bai lowered the oars, stood up at the stern of the boat, and folded his hands respectfully towards the monks who were singing on the shore.

The white-washed monk's robe was covered with patches like a hundred clothes, and the clumsy-looking monk held a clay bowl with a missing mouth, his eyebrows turned white, his body was thin, but his eyes were extremely energetic, as if he could see through people's hearts.

"Good morning!

Bai Ying'er also stood up and saluted the monks on the shore reverently.

I don't know when this monk, known as Zhidu, built a thatched hut outside the town of Xiyan that could barely block the wind and rain, and since then he has settled down.

Every morning, he would hold a pottery bowl and chant Buddhist scriptures in the town or nearby Zhuangzi to beg for food, whether it was rice, vegetables, meat, fish, oil or salt, meat and vegetarian food were not taboo, only asking for food, not asking for money, no matter how much he earned, he would recite a long scripture to the donor to pray for blessings.

Even if he sometimes encountered some mischievous bear children who threw sand, dirt and stones into the pottery bowl like a prank, he would not get angry, but still read a short verse and smiled.

Once the bowl is full, whether it is full or not, he will return to his thatched hut and chant Buddhist scriptures until he rests in peace, and continues to beg the next day, rain or shine.

It is not so much a begging as a devotional ritual.

Over time, the people around Xiyan Town all knew this ascetic-like monk and called him Master Zhidu, and became famous for a while.

The simple thatched hut often has good men and women who come to visit, worship the Buddha and chant the scriptures together, but never accept a grain of rice and a penny of incense, it is so plain and pious, self-crossing and crossing people.

Li Xiaobai doesn't believe in Buddhism, so naturally he won't pay tribute, but simply give his hand to pay tribute.

The monk slowly stopped, put down the pottery bowl, and returned the salute with a smile to the three people on the boat.

"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!

At this time, a red carp jumped out of the lake, coincidentally fell into the boat, and landed in front of Li Xiaobai.

Carp are originally good jumping species, and it is not uncommon for them to be startled by ships.

Li Xiaobai looked at the monk, and then at the red carp struggling and bouncing at the bottom of the boat, and his heart was moved for a while, so he stretched out his hand to hold the unlucky little fish.

Hiss!

There was a shallow pool of water at the bottom of the boat, and there were tiny duckweed floating on it, but he didn't expect that there was a wooden thorn hidden under the duckweed, and he accidentally pricked it on his fingertips.

A drop of red blood immediately popped up and fell into the water, just in time to be swallowed by the fish's mouth, which was unable to open and close.

Li Xiaobai sucked the pricked fingertips disapprenoresly, deliberately avoided the stagnant water, picked up the red carp again, and threw it into the lake outside the boat.

"Nan no Amitabha!"

The monk who saw this scene chanted the Buddha horn again and bowed deeply to the boat.

The rescued loggerhead fish circled the boat a few times underwater, then quickly wagged its tail and disappeared.

"Compassion accumulates goodness and vows to save sentient beings. The golden tin in his hand vibrates open the gates of hell. The pearl in the palm of your hand, the light of the world. In the sound of wisdom, in the auspicious clouds. For Yan Fu to suffer sentient beings, to be a great proof of merit. Great compassion and great wishes, great saints and great mercy ......"

Chanting the scriptures taken from the "Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra", the monk holds the gap in the pottery bowl and strides away.

Scold!~

There seemed to be a crisp and melodious sword groan that suddenly sounded in his ears, and the hair on his body almost stood up.

Li Xiaobai, who was full of excitement, quickly felt that his right palm was hot, and subconsciously raised his hand, but saw a lotus flower outlined by simple lines appearing in the palm of his hand.
