Putting away the secret book given by Hou Zhilin, Du Lengqiu was lazy and very satisfied. In the future, it is a water grinding work, and the speed of drawing the talisman will be increased faster, and if the sword can match the one, it will be even better. However, practicing talismans was not the reason why Du Lengqiu came to Jiaoshan.

He walked into Dinghui Temple and found that the temple was very depressed. The ground is full of fallen leaves and no one cleans them, there are no tourists or monks, and the empty ones are a little crazy.

"What's the matter, a modern version of Lanruo Temple?" Du Lengqiu was worried about Zhang Lingcui, who was like a catkins, and suddenly appeared in the temple, and then disappeared.

"Lingcui!

"I'm here. A faint voice came from a distance, and Du Lengqiu had crossed the green trees and came to a place similar to a park with a light touch on the wall of the temple.

The shop that used to sell instant noodles and children's toys has closed, but along the river, there are more than 20 bald heads squatting, each holding a fishing rod, actually fishing.

The bald head of a slip was quite dazzling in the sun, which couldn't help but make Du Lengqiu dumbfounded. Zhang Lingcui jumped up and down from the river, and explained with a smile.

It's a sad story!

Because the water monsters in the river were rampant and domineering, blocking shipping, so after the grain stock of Dinghui Temple was eaten, these monks began to starve their lives.

This Jiaoshan is a small island in the river, surrounded by water on all sides. The poor bald men had nowhere to go, so they had to eat some wild vegetables. But this Jiaoshan has been developed as a scenic spot for more than 20 years, and there are few wild vegetables. In the past ten days, these monks no longer have the fat head and big ears of the past, and in order to fill their bellies, they have to learn a new skill - fishing.

It's just that the wild fish in the river are very different from the fish fed in the pond, and the shrewd ones are to death, and if they are not masters, they will not be able to catch a few in a day. Fishing alone can't fill the stomachs of these monks, but it's better than the wild vegetable soup every day in the past.

After listening to Zhang Lingcui's explanation, Du Lengqiu smiled dumbly. He had no common language with the growling monks, and left the river and went straight up the winding road.

There were no cleaners, and the road was littered with dead leaves, making a slight clicking sound when walking on it.

Zhang Lingcui grabbed a handful of leaves in each hand, ran back and forth, shouting. After a while, they climbed to the top of Jiao Mountain, in front of the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda.

In the past, this tower needed to pay a fee to climb, but at this time there was no one on Jiao Mountain, and the two of them saved dozens of oceans, tore off the iron lock, pushed the door in, and climbed the tower along the narrow staircase, and reached the top floor in more than ten minutes.

More than 100 meters of Jiao Mountain, 46 meters high pagoda, overlooking the Qiankun, the Yangtze River, farmland, mountains and rivers, all in the mind. It's like a song, smiling the sun, moon, mountains and rivers together.

The scenery is picturesque and the view is endless. A quarter of an hour is a beautiful view, and the scenery changes from moment to time depending on the angle of the sun's rays.

Du Lengqiu's eyes were blazing, sweeping across the river like an eagle falcon, not letting go of the slightest clue. He didn't come to Jiaoshan to play, but to get rid of demons.

It's just that the huge and friendless water monster is nowhere to be seen at the moment.

Du Lengqiu was not disappointed, he patted the railing gently, his eyes slightly closed, avoiding the direct sunlight. The autumn breeze is bleak, and it has a hypnotic effect.

It's a rare time to relax.

Zhang Lingcui was full of interest, and his eyes did not blink, as if he wanted to lock this beautiful country firmly in his heart. The two of them were still and moving, but neither of them wanted to leave.

If it weren't for the rumbling stomach protesting, I am afraid that the two of them could sit quietly on this 10,000-strong pagoda for a day.

Zhang Lingcui touched her stomach and said with a bitter face: "Brother Du, why don't we go fishing too, I can make grilled fish to eat." It's just that this fishing is not easy, I see the big monks in the temple, most of the fishing baskets are empty. ”

Du Lengqiu opened his eyes, glanced at the river again, and then muttered, "There is no seasoning, and the grilled fish can't taste good." Why don't we take some gifts and go to those monks, just to see the chef methods of the fire-headed monk. ”

"Giving gifts to monks, I don't know what to give. I don't think they can eat enough themselves, so if they don't cook us and eat it, even if it's good, they can still share our fish soup and drink?"

Du Lengqiu laughed, "Lingcui, you must know that the Buddha cut meat and served the eagle." The meat of his disciples and grandchildren is all fat, and it's too greasy, let's not eat it, it's not too much to share two bowls of fish soup with him. ”

"What's more, we are carrying gifts to the door, and the fish represents more than every year, which is a heavy gift. ”

Du Lengqiu carried Zhang Lingcui down from the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda, and when he passed by the river, Du Lengqiu grabbed it with five fingers, and in the sound of the river rolling, a big fish flew up out of thin air and fell into Du Lengqiu's hands.

Zhang Lingcui cheered, hurriedly picked three aquatic plants from the riverside, lifted the fish through the cheeks, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that this fish doesn't have four or five catties, and it is much fatter than the small fish caught by those monks." But, Brother Du, aren't we going to catch the monk for food?"

Du Lengqiu originally looked at Zhang Lingcui's lively appearance and was full of fun, but he was stunned when he heard the words, "Do you eat it too?"

Zhang Lingcui replied seriously: "Big brother eats, I will eat!"

"Haha, Lingcui, you scared me. ”

"Big brother doesn't eat it, and I don't eat it either. Looking at the rough appearance of those monks, I'm afraid it won't taste good. ”

Du Lengqiu hurriedly took the lead and shouted, "Don't let those hungry monks finish the soup." Lingcui, go this way. ”

Seeing Du Lengqiu walking away, Zhang Lingcui threw up the big fish and chased after him at a trot.

On the path outside Dinghui Temple, a large iron pot is placed on three irregular cement blocks, and the flames below lick / the bottom of the pot, a circle of monks surround, looking at the boiling soup, the green wild vegetables are loaded and floating, and the occasional floating white fish meat attracts a sound of sucking saliva.

A big monk with a greasy face shouted while stirring the soup spoon: "Don't be so tight, everyone has a share, it's useless to be anxious." ”

Seeing that no one was willing to disperse, the great monk shouted: "Bitter or not, think about the Long March 20,000." You have only been hungry for a few days, and you look like you are starving, and you will be countless times more bitter in the future than now, so you can't plunge headlong into the Yangtze River to seek relief. ”

The truth is this, but people who are extremely hungry are unreasonable, otherwise there would be no seven creepy words in the history books - it is the year of great hunger, cannibalism.

However, a monk responded lightly, "Fa Yin, you are guarding the stove, and you have eaten all the delicious food first, but you still have the face to teach us! If you don't always steal fish, would we stare at you cooking?"

The great monk, that is, Fa Yin's face was extremely thick, and his face did not change when he heard the words, "Aren't I afraid that you will eat too much meat and fall into the boundless hell and not be liberated?"

"The great monk said it well, it's just that the road to hell is only happy if it is lively, didn't I send a ticket!" A burst of footsteps came, but it was Du Lengqiu and Zhang Lingcui who carried the fish, stepped through the grass, and walked leisurely.

Approaching and glancing at the pot, Du Lengqiu sighed and said: "The masters are really compassionate, they only caught three small fish to eat this morning, they are worthy of being a high-ranking monk, and they will become Buddhas and ancestors in the future." ”

Du Lengqiu's words made a group of big monks blush instantly, and at the same time, Zhang Lingcui hurriedly turned around, his shoulders kept shaking, obviously unable to suppress his smile.

However, the Fayin monk stared wide-eyed, stared at the big catfish that was still flicking its tail, licked his lips, and said, "Look at this fish monster, the head is so big, why don't we use our stomach to melt it, it can be regarded as a merit." After finishing speaking, he laughed first and scolded: "Damn, it's only 5,000 yuan a month, and this monk is not interesting to pretend, so let's stop doing it." ”

Fa Yin took off the monk's robe, threw it on the ground, then stirred the pot with a soup spoon, looked at the color of the soup, then added salt, and began to serve the soup.

Du Lengqiu's subtle mockery only made the monks blush for three seconds. At this time, each lined up with porcelain bowls, as honest as quails.

Zhang Lingcui couldn't help but feel a little anxious as she watched the fish soup in the pot disappear quickly, but seeing that Du Lengqiu didn't move, she had to be patient and not move at all.

In the end, as Du Lengqiu expected, there were still three bowls left in the iron pot, although Fayin was fat, his heart was awake, and he quickly returned to the temple to go to the tableware and gave Du Lengqiu and Zhang Lingcui a bowl each.

Du Lengqiu quietly picked the unknown wild vegetables in the bowl, then put down the chopsticks and asked, "Master Fu's surname?"

Fa Yin Xili snorted and ate, but he didn't dare to slack off when he heard the words, and replied busily: "What is your surname or not, my original name was Liu Yihong, and then I couldn't bear the hardships of part-time work, so I found someone to apply for a fake college certificate and went to Dinghui Temple to be a fake monk." ”

Du Lengqiu smiled, "This work is good, there is no wind and sun." ”

Liu Yihong had a bitter face and said: "We can't do good work in this world, although there is no wind and sun, we have to read the scriptures." It's a mouthful, more annoying than when I was in high school. Every time I read the Bible, I whispered that I would eat grapes without spitting out the skins, and if I didn't eat grapes, I would spit out the skins of grapes, but unfortunately the elders heard me many times and deducted a lot of bonuses. Grandma's, up to now, what I'm most familiar with is not those coquettish female stars, it's actually the Ranga Sutra, you say it's annoying. ”

If Du Lengqiu hadn't been polite, he would have almost burst his stomach with laughter. But in the end, he could only comfort: "Brother, isn't this out of the sea of suffering." ”

Liu Yihong poured the last mouthful of soup into his stomach, a little dazed, "Hey, I can't understand the way of this world." All kinds of monsters came out to run rampant, and the Buddha didn't care, but the army ran around killing monsters, and they were also killed by monsters. If I have the opportunity, I would still join the army, but I have also been a compulsory soldier for two years. ”

"Well, the army didn't say anything, they also had a fight with the water monster in the river in the morning. ”

Liu Yihong hurriedly asked, "Who won?" ”

"Well, the monster escaped. "Du Lengqiu is telling the truth, but the narrative is incomplete.

"Hey, that monster killed an unknown number of people. Speaking of which, why don't our submariners come out and kill it with a few fish/pedos?"

"Maybe other monsters need to be cleared, in this world, I don't know how many monsters there are. Speaking of which, does my brother know anything about the water monsters in the Yangtze River?" Du Lengqiu finally saw that his real purpose was to understand the water monsters, and the more detailed the better. The Soldier of the Ages once said: Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles. There is a lot of truth in this statement.

Liu Yihong frowned, thought hard for a while, and said, "It appeared about eighteen days ago, and it can overturn the ship as soon as it appears." Damn, such a big guy didn't know what to eat and grew up. Later, the army surrounded and suppressed several times, and each time he escaped. ”

"And then?"

"Hey, later, later this water monster became more and more fierce, so that we had no business on Jiaoshan, and the big and small shops couldn't do it, and they went back to their hometowns, only the monks of our Dinghui Temple were the most miserable, missed the last ferry, and could only live here and be hungry. ”

Seeing that Liu Yihong was speaking in an incoherent manner, Du Lengqiu used his brains and asked, "Well, what's so powerful about this water monster, the army can't kill it." ”

Liu Yihong scratched his bald head in distress and said: "It is said that this guy is immortal, no matter what injuries he suffers, he will heal in a blink of an eye, and he will not die after being bombarded by a cannon for a long time, and I don't know if it is true or false." ”

Du Lengqiu bowed slightly, and combined with what he had seen and heard in Beigu Mountain, he confirmed that this water monster did have the ability to heal his injuries quickly. He then asked, "Is there any other news?"

"No, I worry about eating every day, and I don't have time to inquire about anything else. ”

Du Lengqiu drank the fish soup in two sips, and smiled: "Excuse me, brother." In the past few days, I have seen my brother go to the river for a walk, maybe there will be some surprises. ”

Liu Yihong's eyes widened, watching Du Lengqiu stride away with Zhang Lingcui, and muttered: "What do you mean, you want to kill demons, you think you are Yan Chixia." ”
