Cuicui said: "I'll ask the old monk Haitong." He has so much to do, why would he lie?"

Qingqing stopped her and said, "Hey, this statue has been carved for 90 years. I'm afraid that Monk Haitong is already more than one hundred and twenty years old. Is he still alive?"

Sima Qing also smiled and said: "If he is still alive in the world, I am afraid that he will live to be more than eight hundred years old and immortal!"

Leopard, Cuicui, and Cuicui were all stunned when they heard this: "What! Eight hundred years?"

"At least seven or eight hundred years. So you don't have to ask him. ”

The three of them widened their eyes even more: "So long?"

Sima Qing smiled: "Three haven't you ever read?"

Cuicui said: "What books have we read! Even if it is a big word, we can't read half a basket!"

"It doesn't matter if I don't read. I'm afraid it's better to go out and ask more people than to close the door. ”

Cuicui asked again: "Scholar, do you read a lot?"

"I've read a lot of books, but none of them are useful. So I threw down the book and ran out. ”

Qingqing said: "Scholar, you are polite! You know too much. Why is it useless? It's different from us. ”

"I'm making more jokes than you do! If I don't run away, I'll be a real nerd!"

"So you must have traveled a lot?"

"I have been to Mount Tai in Shandong, Songshan in Zhongzhou, Hengshan in Hunan, Hengshan in Shanxi, Huashan in Shaanxi, and Wuyi Mountain and Mount Emei in Emei. ”

The leopard didn't listen to anything, but Qingcui and Cuicui were surprised when they did.

These famous mountains are the locations of several martial arts halls in the Central Plains, and there are many people who come and go to the martial arts halls, and Sima Qing seems to be a cowardly scholar, is he a hidden martial artist?

Qingqing couldn't help but ask, "Is Mr. a member of the Xuan Spirit?"

"Xuan Ling?" Sima Qing shook his head and said, "I'm just a poor scholar who is good at traveling. The three of them must be martial arts people!"

Cuicui said, "We are not some kind of mysterious spirits. ”

"Three people with swords, why aren't they Xuanling people?"

"We're here to play. ”

"Is that interesting?"

"Why not? It's very interesting! At least we can intimidate people who want to bully us. ”

"Look, the three must be Xuanling characters. ”

Qingqing asked, "What do you think?"

"All three of you have a kind of heroism. They are very young, they do not breathe when they climb the mountain, they must have practiced martial arts. Although I don't know martial arts, I've seen quite a few people who do martial arts. ”

Cuicui said, "You can still take a look!"

Sima Qing smiled: "I have only read books about astrology and other books." ”

"Who do you think we are?"

"You must be a chivalrous man. ”

"Sir, you are wrong!"

"I, what did I say wrong?"

"We are people on the underworld, we are small killers. ”

Sima Qing was stunned: "Little killer?"

"Yes, sir, are you afraid of us?"

Sima Qing slapped his palm and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid." ”

"Oh, aren't you afraid we'll kill you?"

"Three don't laugh at it, it's just that there is no hatred with you, and the body doesn't even have much silver, what did you kill me?"

"Little killers have no reason to kill just because they like it. ”

"Are you really going to kill me?"

The leopard wanted to make a sound to stop, but when he thought of the sinister rivers and lakes. And Cuicui is not a casual killer, maybe Cuicui has seen that this gentleman has something suspicious before saying this, so he swallowed back a few words.

But Qingqing made a stop with a sound: "Brother Bai, don't talk nonsense! Don't scare Mr. ”

"He went to a lot of famous mountains. Will a sentence or two scare him to death? His guts are bigger than a bucket of water! Otherwise, how dare he run through the middle five mountains alone?"

Qingqing said: "Brother Bai is a scholar and loves famous mountains and rivers. ”

Sima Qing said: "Yes, yes! I just want to learn from the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai and visit the famous mountains and rivers of the Central Plains." ”

The leopard then said, "Sir, are you alone and not afraid of encountering bad people and bandits?"

Sima Qing said: "I am a scholar, and I don't have much silver on me. Even thieves do not rob me of my belongings. Moreover, there are many tourists, who only visit famous mountains and rivers and do not dare to go to a deserted place, so how can they encounter bandits? When it comes to wicked people, there are only two words: patience and retreat. Try to avoid it. ”

Qingqing said, "Sir, you are a good person!"

Sima Qing's words shook the leopard's heart.

Yes, tolerate everything, why should you be angry with anyone?

Sima Qing asked again: "Three little brothers, do you want to visit this big Buddha?"

Cuicui raised her eyebrows and asked, "Have you been to this big Buddha?"

"I went on an outing yesterday. This morning, I just wanted to see the scene between Minjiang and the morning, so I ran over. From here, pass under the belly of the Big Buddha to the left-hand side there, and on the other side, there is another way to play on the shoulders and top of the Big Buddha. Then climb the mountain and you will reach Lingyun Temple. Three people can have a vegetarian meal at the monastery. ”

Qingqing said, "Okay! Mr. Trouble leads the way!"

By the time they turned to the shoulders of the Big Buddha, the morning mist had lifted.

The sun rises brilliantly over the mountains.

The clouds in the east are like a tapestry, far and near the green mountains and green waters, rivers, city walls, and the boats and some pedestrians on the opposite bank seem to be immersed in a red light, which is clearly visible.

Sima Qing couldn't help but sigh when he saw it, and said: "Beautiful! Beautiful! No wonder some people say that the world's mountains and rivers lie in the spirit! This is indeed the case." ”

Even the leopard, Qingqing and Cuicui, seeing this mountain, this water and this scene, are also happy for it.

Sima Qing recited the poems of the Tang Dynasty at will: "'Thousands of miles of warblers cry green and red, and the water village mountain Guo wine flag wind. There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain?' What a wonderful thing!"

Qingqing asked, "Sir, are you reciting poetry?"

"Yes, it's just poetry."

Cuicui asked, "Did you write it?"

"No, no! How could he have such a talent to write such beautiful sentences? This is the "Jiangnan Spring Quatrain" written by the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu, who has just moved to Lingyun Mountain!

"Is that another eight hundred years?"

"Yes, yes, eight hundred years...... What do you mean by that, Brother White?"

"How can you take everything that died 800 years ago? It doesn't make any sense. Is there 480 temples here? And at the same time there is no wind and rain, how can it be in the smoke and rain?"

Sima Qing was stunned, speechless for a long time, and asked, "What should I do?"

"I say, it has to change. ”

"Oh, how to change? This is the verse of our ancestors!"

"I said, it should be like this" 'Lingyun Temple on Lingyun Mountain, immersed in the glow of ten thousand ways'!"

Sima Qing couldn't laugh, and the poet's deep affection turned into a glass of water, without taste.

The poet Du Mu wants to reveal that the ruler faces the people's court - endless exploitation, and in the face of the crazy Daxing Buddhist temple, paralyzing the people.

After spending so much manpower and material resources to build so many Buddhist temples and sutras, how much is left in the smoke and rain so far? But the land is still there, where did the rulers of the south go?

He had to say: "Brother Bai has changed very well. ”

Cuicui said, "Yes, you are so beautiful, you give the poem a sour taste." ”

Sima Qing was stunned: "Yes, yes, it's just that you shouldn't add these sour tastes." ”

Qingqing felt that Sima Qing was very kind, so he said, "Sir, Brother Bai, don't be surprised, he has nothing to say." ”

"Where, where, how dare you!"

When they finished swimming, they turned to Lingyun Temple.

Sima Qing asked, "Do you three want to take a break and go and meet Master Haiguang?"

Qingqing said, "Don't disturb him, we need to go back to the boat where we ate." They will be in a hurry not to go back. ”

Cuicui asked: "Then why doesn't Master Haiguang chant Buddhist scriptures and make pianos and calligraphy and paintings? Maybe he is a flower-hearted monk who does not take the right path!"

"Don't talk nonsense, little brother. Don't be heard. ”

Qingqing pulled her: "Let's go, don't make trouble." ”

Sima Qing said: "Then I'll give three people a ride." ”

"No, sir. ”

Sima Qing still enthusiastically sent them to the stone steps of Lingyun Mountain Gate, and was about to wave goodbye, only to see that there was Longqiu Pavilion and a mountain road on the mountain gate, and the tourists got out of the way, and someone shouted: "Coming, coming!"

The leopard asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Cuicui asked a tourist, and the tourist said, "The government sent someone to arrest the big thief." ”

"Where did this come from?"

The tourist pouted: "Look, that's not coming!?"

When Leopard Er and the others looked at it, they saw that seven or eight officials had been arrested, and under the leadership of a leader, one person pulled him away with an iron chain.

The man shouted, "I'm not a thief, you've caught the wrong person!"

Leopard, green, verdant - look, surprised.

This man was none other than a sailor under Uncle Wang, the boatman.

His name is Jiang Bo.

Why is he a pirate?

The leopard ran over in a hurry and said to the catcher, "You have caught the wrong person!"

Qingqing and Cuicui also wanted to rush over.

Sima Qing stopped them and said softly: "Don't be impulsive, calm down and look at it." ”

Qingqing and Cuicui thought the same, so they stopped.

It is true that when people practice martial arts, they are generally reluctant to come into contact with, let alone come into conflict with, officials.

And Leopard didn't think he was a Xuanling person, and he didn't understand Wu Lin's unwritten rules, so in order not to let Jiang Bo be wronged, he rushed over to defend Jiang Bo.

Looking at the head, such a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy came over in the crowd, looked up and down, saw the leopard wearing a good dress, and asked, "Who are you?"

"It's me—it's me who hired him. ”

"What? Are you their boss?"

"yes! Why did you pull him?"

Hearing the news, the catchers immediately scattered and surrounded the leopard. The catcher waved his hand and shouted to his subordinates, "Lock him up and take him away!"

A chain was tied around the leopard's neck.

The leopard stared stupidly and asked, "Why are you arresting me?"

The head catcher snorted: "Can you escape the royal law with all the kidnapping and murder you did on the Minjiang River? I really admire that you dare to sail here." ”

The leopard was even more shocked: "You must be mistaken! When will we hijack the ship and kill people? You ......."

Aren't they all dead?

Are they guilty of murder, arson and abduction of young girls and children?

But the catcher ignored him and said, "You have something to say in front of the prefect, we have been ordered to arrest us only." ”

The leopard calmed down and said, "Then you let him go, and I will go with you." ”

"No, take them all. ”

A few subordinates quickly evil spirits and took the leopard away.

The leopard was in a hurry, shook the chain, and the two trappers he pulled out quickly shook out.

The crowd of onlookers immediately became confused and walked away.

Now it's the catcher's turn, and the catcher looks silly.

They can't believe that a teenager with such great abilities can be mesmerizing.

After a while, knives, sticks, and rulers came out.

He scratched his head and said calmly: "You are really a big thief, and it is a crime to openly refuse to be arrested." ”

The leopard didn't expect that his luck was so bad, and when he shook it, the person would be blown away, he just didn't want to pull me away, I had something to say.

But in doing so, you mess things up.

When he saw the light of the weapon, he couldn't help but draw his sword.

"I didn't resist," he said.

One of the officials said, "Little thief, you didn't resist when you drew your sword, did you?"

The catcher was so angry that he cut it off with a knife.

The leopard fights with a sword.

With a "wait", the knife in the catcher's agile hand flew away, and his arm became numb and could not be lifted at all.

The other five servants also came, with swords, sticks, and sleeves in their hands, and walked toward the leopard.

These are caught quickly, although they have learned some kung fu, they can also deal with ordinary thieves and thieves, and it is tantamount to insulting them to deal with martial arts among first-class masters.

As soon as the leopard leaped up, the dragons broke the knives and sticks of the five trappers, and the ferrules flew away, and the people overturned.

For leopards it is easy to kill them.

Among the many tourists, some people are timid and afraid, and all of them leave, and those who do not go are some warriors.

First of all, they don't want to meddle in the affairs of the government.

Secondly, they don't know who the leopard is.

So they wait and watch.

If the leopard kills someone, I'm afraid some chivalrous man will stop him.

Those who did not leave were Qingqing, Cuicui, and the literati Sima Qing.

He was stunned by the leopard's martial arts.

And it was not only him who was surprised, but also those who did not walk on the Xuan Ling, they were also secretly surprised, and asked themselves in their hearts, such a young man has such an amazing martial arts, which is this-a disciple of the sect?

He doesn't look like a robber!

The leopard's swordsmanship was in the style of the Eighteen Swords of the Tibetan Point Sect, and only two people could understand it at that time.

After a long fight, the catcher retreated, and replied with all his might, "Do you dare us to let him go?"

Sailor Jiang Bo said: "Young master, you go, it's none of your business, I'll go to see the official!"

The crowd didn't go away, and a young knight came out with a sword, and the catcher on his head was overjoyed when he saw it: "Chen Shaoxia, help me catch this thief." ”

Chen Shaoxia shook his head: "I'm afraid you have recognized the wrong person! I dare to say that this little brother is not the thief you want to catch." ”

Yuan Zhutou was stunned: "Chen Shaoxia, can you guarantee that he is not a pirate who robs ships and kills people?"

"Yuan Zhutou, if he was a big thief, he would have killed you and your people a long time ago. I'm afraid no one can stop him. ”

The leopard said, "Yes, how can I be a pirate? If I were a robber, would I go with you? I only ask you to let me go with this boatman." ”

Chen Shaoxia said again: "Yuan Maotou, do you think this little brother is a person sent by the hiding point?"

The Tibetan Dian Sect is a martial arts family known for its chivalrous reputation, will his disciples be Jiangyang thieves? If so, if the Tibetan Dian sends someone to clean the door, can it still be your turn to catch him?"

Chen Shaoxia said to Leopard again: "Little brother, are you not mistaken?"

"I'm from the Tibetan Sect. ”

Chen Shaoxia arched his hand and asked, "Please ask for the name of my brother?"

The leopard said, "I, I ......"

Qingqing said: "He is the young head of the Tibetan Dian Sect, Wanlibud." ”

Chen Shaoxia said to him, "Oh", and then he said, "'It turned out to be the little young master of the Tibetan Dian Sect. 'My surname is Chen, my name is Shaobai, and I am a disciple of the Mei Er Sect. ”

Leopard hurriedly replied: "Chen, Chen Shaoxia, thank you for helping me." ”

"If you are a person who knows martial arts and there are few masters, why are you so polite?"

As soon as Yuan Zhutou heard that Leopard was the young head of the Tibetan Point Sect, he was even more stupid, and he provoked the young head of the Tibetan Point Sect, and the head who ate didn't want it anymore?

Cuicui floated over from there and said: "If it's good to steal, I don't know what crime to commit?"

When the captain heard this, he changed his countenance, and couldn't help but say: "Since Chen Shaoxia is willing to vouch, I will only get the boatman back!"

Yuan Zhutou drew a big cake for Chen Shaobai and Leopard.

Others, regardless of the reason or reason, they see perfection for the first time.

Moreover, the leopard also broke the weapon in the catcher's hand.

And so it ended.

But the leopard does not understand the rules of the government, he always felt that the boatman, because of their participation, the boat was burned.

He said, "No, you let him go, I'll go with you!"

Qingqing and Cuicui were anxious: "Brother Leopard-"

The leopard said, "We can't let the boatmen get involved for no reason!" I told them to figure things out. ”

Chen Shaoxia seemed to feel embarrassed, he felt that the young head of this Tibetan point faction was a rookie who didn't know anything and just debuted, a good heart is good, but he didn't know the darkness in the officialdom.

Yuan Zhutou said happily: "You'd better go." Why should I take the boatman with me?"

He really let Jiang Bo go, and said to the leopard: "Xiaomen, please!"

"You lead the way!"

Chen Shaobai pulled Yuan Zhutou aside, took out a small piece of silver from him and handed it to him, saying, "I hope Zhutou will take care of this matter more." ”

Yuan Zhutou hurriedly refused, saying, "No, no, this young man secretly helped me a lot." How can I get him to spend money on such a trivial matter? You can rest assured that if I show up in the dark, the little brother will have nothing to lose. ”

Chen Shaoxia has a chivalrous name in Jiading Prefecture and is also one of the rich and powerful gentlemen in Jiading City.

He also helped Yuan capture some difficult bandits in the dark and solved many cases.

When he saw Yuan Zhutou refusing, he said, "These silver ingots should be used as their tea fee." ”

"In that case, I'll have to put up with it!"

Even Qingqing and Cuicui saw and heard Chen Shaobai's actions and words in the distance.

They believed that this disciple of the Second Mountain could be regarded as a noble person, and that he would come to visit him in the future.

They did not dare to tie the chains around the leopard's neck anymore.

Instead, they embraced the leopard, boarded a boat across the Min River, and sailed towards the city.

Cuicui said: "Let's follow along, don't let Brother Leopard suffer." ”

Sima Qing said thoughtfully: "Don't follow me, ask the boatman first." ”

Can I help you?

Qingqing, Cuicui stared towards the sailor's river waves.

Cuicui was the first to raise her voice and asked, "Hey, what the hell is going on? Have you ever worked on the ground in the past and are you doing it now?"
