The fat monk at that table was still holding the sauce hooves as big as his fat head and gnawing happily, but Chen and the others at this table were in their hearts, and even the heartless fool Tang Weizi buried his head on the table and continued to eat silently.

"Why don't you stinky donors speak? Have you never seen the two hearts of Buddhism? ”

The well-informed Xu Dart's face did not change, and he comforted the young man and girl on the table, then stood up and arched his hand towards the back of the fat monk, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Cunyi in the Xia Fu Yun Dart Bureau, leading a few new students in the Dart Bureau who have not seen the industry to disturb the master, and I hope the master will bear with me!" ”

The fat monk turned a deaf ear, still intently nibbling on his hooves.

"Hehe, you old martial artist, your mouth is quite sweet, I see that the food on your table is good, I don't know if you can appreciate your face and let the poor monk have the honor to taste it, but it's a pity that this pot of pickled duxian is a little too hot, otherwise this table of dishes can be regarded as perfect."

Xu Darttou didn't say a word, sat down on the bench next to Tang Weizi, and stretched out his big hand, "Master, please, sit here!" ”

The fat monk held his hoof, stood up, and his bulging body crossed the table and chair with great dexterity, and sat on the bench in front of Xu Darttou. This time, everyone at the table finally saw the fat monk's face clearly, even the most uninformed Tang Weizi and Xu Ying had to say that this fat monk really looked like a Buddha.

"A few stinky donors, but let the little monk wait here."

Zhang stayed up all night and glanced at the fat monk, hugged his fists and said: "The juniors and others are abrupt, look at the master Haihan." ”

"What's abrupt, the stinky donors are the people the little monk has to wait for, the first disciple of the little monk Xihai Kongkong Temple to preach the scriptures, Zhuhe, came to settle the cause and effect with the stinky donors."

Sun Ganlu, a girl who had been silent, finally couldn't help but show her anger, "You fat monk, why do you open your mouth and shut up and say that people stink!" ”

This is actually a bit wronged, because Zhang stayed up all night and didn't see the fat monk speak, and he was concentrating on gnawing on the sauce from beginning to end.

"Several stinky donors are full of dead people's stinking, naturally they are stinky donors, is it possible that in the eyes of all stinky donors, the dead man's flesh is fragrant? However, the little monk has indeed never tasted the flesh of a dead man, if it is fragrant, the next time a few stinky donors eat it, you can take the little monk to taste it. ”

These words fell on the hearts of several people, like a thunderclap. Tang Weizi's expression changed greatly, and he shouted: "You monk, who are you, aren't you an accomplice who came to avenge the old beggar he killed that day?" ”

Xu Dart pressed the excited Tang Weizi beside him, and signaled the other people to calm down with his eyes.

"Old beggar? The little monk didn't know, the little monk said, you stinky donors have a fate with the little monks, and the little monks are here to settle the cause and effect with the stinky donors. Master has always said that the little monk is not very smart, and he may not have made it clear, but the little monk has no ill will towards the stinky benefactors. ”

"Otherwise, the moment you enter the inn, you will all be dead."

The shopkeeper went up to the second floor with the dishes, and when he saw the fat monk sitting facing south in front of him, he understood that the atmosphere of this table was a little wrong, so he smiled, and after a few shouts, he put down the dishes and quickly slipped down.

On the table of the Eight Immortals, Xu Darttou is the old Jianghu who walked south and north, and at this time, his face has already returned to his usual heroism and refreshment, and he kept picking up vegetables for the silent young people, picking up a large piece of mutton and putting it in the bowl of the fat monk Zhuhe.

"Come, this master of the Empty Temple, don't just gnaw on the hooves, how about tasting this stir-fried mutton."

When the fat monk heard this, he put down his hooves, wiped his dirty and shabby robe with his hands full of sauce, and smiled and saluted Xu Dart's head with his hands folded.

"Lord Xu Shi is polite, that little monk is better than being respectful."

Looking at the fat monk who was about as fast as their pit ingots, Zhang stayed up all night and asked, "I don't know what cause and effect Master Zhuhe and a few of us have?" And how do you end it? ”

"How does the little monk know, I told you that the little monk is not smart. This is also what the master said to the little monk, and the little monk listened to the master's words and rushed all the way from the West Sea to wait for you here, but I have been waiting for a long time! As for how it ended, the master said, but the little monk didn't understand. But after the cause and effect, the little monk should understand. That is, if the cause and effect are over, then the cause and effect are over. ”

Tang Weizi rolled his eyes, and the two were stunned to figure out that this fat monk was weird, but he should have no ill will towards them, so he couldn't help but tease: "Master Gaojian, if I understand, then I don't understand at all." ”

The fat monk Zhuhe quickly stuffed the meat into his mouth, listening to Tang Weizi's slightly mocking words, he smiled at him instead.

"This stinky benefactor is very wise, if he is fateful, he can take refuge in my Buddhism one day. You are very wise, and the little monk thinks that if you cultivate Buddhism, you can be like the master in the future, and you will be able to burn relics. ”

The other people at the table couldn't hear Zhuhe's heart-to-heart, and they were a little speechless for a while when they looked at these two who were a little lacking in heart.

Zhang stayed up all night looking at the fat monk who was eating happily, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Is the master following us next?" ”

This time, the fat monk nodded, and a voice fell on the hearts of everyone at the table.

"Well, yes, yes, don't worry, since you are dart masters, the little monk will follow you, and you can also escort you. There is no need to take care of the little monk, although the little monk has a slightly larger amount of food, but he will turn his fate into a fate, and the master gave the little monk a lot of gold and silver vulgar things before the little monk came out, so that the little monk could eat. ”

The fat monk seemed to be afraid that everyone would not believe it, so he opened the shabby robe on his body, revealing an inner collar covered with gold leaves, and Tang Weizi's eyes were straight.

"Anyway, the little monk really has no ill will towards you stinky donors, the master said, the monks don't speak, they can only brag occasionally."

Tang Weizi was a dumbfounded, and when he heard what he said, he couldn't help but stretch out his thumb and praise sincerely, "Fat monk, you, master, are definitely a first-class monk!" ”

Zhu He thought so, nodded vigorously, and let the fat face go up and down for a while, looking at Tang Weizi's eyes with deep approval.

"This stinky donor really has a wise root, it's a pity not to enter my Buddhism, and I must become a monk in the future."

Tang Weizi patted his chest, full of nonsense, "It must be." ”

Zhang stayed up all night and suddenly thought of something, looked at the fat monk who was not slow at all with chopsticks, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly: "Does the master know the throne of the high heavens?" ”

The fat monk's chopsticks stopped, and he glanced at Zhang Jiu Ye, and Xu Dang on the side glanced at Zhang Jiu Ye silently, and then the young man heard a voice and fell in his heart.

"The little monk naturally knows, those are demon gods. I can only say so much, and the other little monks can't tell you that this is the little monk's good for the sake of the stinky benefactor. ”

Zhang stayed up all night and was not very satisfied with this answer, he saw Xu Darthead, Xu Darthead sighed and said: "These are the things of the people on the mountain, we ordinary people don't know the best, especially with these...... You Shen is implicated, little brother Zhang, I advise you not to mention it in the future. ”

Wandering God? Demon God? Zhang stayed up all night and found that the more he asked, the more confused he became, but he had a strength, that is, he couldn't figure it out, so he could temporarily forget about it. Then the table didn't say much, and an inexplicable lunch ended with the fat monk's chewing.

A group of people out of the inn went to the suburban post station where the fortune dart team was stationed, and when they arrived at the post station and the people of the dart team met, Xu Darthead formally introduced Zhang Stay Up and others to the subordinates of the dart team, Xu Dart's subordinates came to the road before Zhang Stay up was quite impressed by this group of troubled teenagers, and Zhang Stayed up late, although he was young, he hugged his fist and greeted every move, he was quite old and steady, and soon won the favor of other dart masters. When it was the turn of the fat monk Zhuhe, Xu Dart touched his beard, "This is the master of Zhuhe, and he is destined for me, so he will go with us next." ”

The fat monk squinted his eyes and saluted everyone.

Buddhism in Beihai is still prosperous, probably because of the land connection with the West China Sea Buddha country, there are often monks from the Western Regions who come to preach in the old Yellow Calendar, or some respected old monks in the Beihai Huguo Temple with a long procession to the West Sea to learn scriptures and worship the Buddha, of course, most of them did not have time to see the West Heaven Buddha land that is said to be thousands of miles of yellow sand, most of them died in the oasis of the West Sea and the North Sea.

However, it is also a tradition of exchanges since ancient times, Buddhism in many folk places in the West Sea incense can be regarded as strong, after all, ordinary people found that at least in the matter of seeking heirs, compared to the statues of those Taoist gods who worship the Beihai State Religion, the Buddha statues in the temple are much more effective, and over time it has led to the people of Beihai occasionally seeing the wandering monks, most of whom are quite respectful.

The day passed quickly, and at dusk, Xu Dangtou called Zhang Jiu Ye, Tang Weizi and Xu Ying to a flat field next to the post station. On the other side of the tied horse frame, a row of wooden stakes of human height was erected, and thick hemp ropes were tied to them. There is a weapon rack on the side of the wooden stake, and some common weapons such as knives, guns, sticks and swords are hung.

Next to Xu Dart's head stood a man in his thirties, the man's surname was Qiu, he was not tall, but his limbs were thick and powerful, and it was not difficult to see that this was a good hand at using weapons. Xu Darttou briefly introduced to the teenagers and learned that Master Qiu was the head of the dart team responsible for the daily training of the dart masters. Xu Darthead is a bold character, said that since he began to follow the dart, he did not squander the time at that moment, and he started training from today, these teenagers are used to suffering, except for Zhang Stayed up late when he was a child with his father who was born in the army and practiced marksmanship, the other two teenagers at this age, they have an almost romantic enthusiasm for dancing guns and sticks, and naturally they all agreed.

Master Qiu was a taciturn man, and he arched his hand at a few people, and asked them to go up first to choose a weapon. Tang Weizi took the brunt of the sword, held it in his hand and smiled, but when he found that the blade had not yet been opened, his smile dissipated, and he muttered: "This thing is not as sharp as the fast head I polished myself in the pit!" ”

Xu Ying scratched his head and chose a Pu knife. Zhang stayed up all night without thinking about it, and lifted a red tassel gun.

Master Qiu saw that everyone had picked out the weapons, nodded, and said to the teenagers: "Jianghu martial arts, weapons are the most important thing, unlike those who work for officials, we Jianghu people eat meat and drink wine or sleep with women or go out of courtesy, just one thing, weapons do not leave the body, this is the first rule that the master will teach on the day of apprenticeship." Again, hard training day and night is the second thing, boiling the body and bones to practice strength, or using a good sword and a good knife, this is all hard work every day in exchange for hard work, you are now these young people, I have seen a few, full of what bones are amazing to practice martial arts for a thousand miles, that is the story in the romance novel and the teahouse storytelling. Walking the rivers and lakes to beg for food, you either sweat or bleed, very simple. ”

Master Qiu, who looked like an ordinary farmer, spoke unpleasantly, but there was an indescribable majesty, and several teenagers, including Zhang Stayed up all night, put away their hearts and stood as if they were listening to Mr. Teach's teachings.

Seeing the nervous looks of a few teenagers, Master Qiu was very satisfied, "Today I will first touch the guy in your hands, and in the future, I will rely on him for dinner, and I will not open the blade, you two will take short soldiers, first learn to stab, split, pick, hang, and cut, I will demonstrate it to you, and then practice it yourself, and I will demonstrate it once." ”

Master Qiu quickly took the knife and sword in the hands of the two teenagers, and demonstrated it to the stake respectively, it is really quite simple, six or seven-year-old children can probably see the sample again, but Zhang stayed up late and his ancestors were in the army in the era, and he could see that this Master Qiu's skills were by no means ordinary.

Xu Ying and Tang Weizi took the sword, they didn't speak, put away their minds and began to practice on the stake in the same way as Master Qiu, Master Qiu, who looked like a farmer, walked to Zhang Jiuye's side, squinted his eyes and looked at it, and said to Xu Dart's head: "Is that him?" Seeing Xu Darttou nodding with a smile, the man said, "Come, play a gun and show me." ”

Zhang stayed up all night without saying a word, walked a few steps and picked an open place, took a deep breath, and then practiced a set of marksmanship learned since childhood, which was taught to him by his father in the army, mainly to pick and sweep, this set of marksmanship in the North Navy is not very clever, but the victory is extremely ruthless and decisive, clean and neat, mainly to kill the enemy, without the slightest superfluous action.

Xu Darttou and Qiu Dart Master on the side looked at it, and both of them had faint smiles on their faces. Master Qiu squinted, "Little Brother Zhang, did the elders in the family join the army before?" ”

Zhang stayed up all night and drew an arc of the red tassel gun in his hand, took a step back, and the right hand holding the gun withdrew from his chest and clamped the spear with his right elbow on the side of the ribs. ”

Tang Weizi's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he couldn't help but admire: "If you stay up late, you can do this." ”

Then he immediately hit the cropper on the head, "Did you stop?" ”

Xu Dangtou, who had not spoken, squinted his eyes and said, "The rivers and lakes are not battlefields after all, this set of rivers and lakes, once you shoot, it is easy to see people's lives, today, tomorrow on the road, Lao Qiu, you teach Brother Zhang a few ways of Jianghu marksmanship, compared to your set of military marksmanship, there is a little more leeway, a little less ruthlessness, and this is the true meaning of our going to the rivers and lakes to eat." ”

Zhang stayed up late and nodded, "Then what am I practicing now?" ”

Master Qiu took another Pu knife from the weapon rack and threw it directly to Zhang to stay up all night, "Do you remember my few clicks just now?" Remember to practice it. ”

The young man took the knife, stopped speaking, turned to the stake, relived the few strokes of Master Qiu just now, then took a deep breath and began to practice against the stake.

In the next hour or so, several teenagers spent more than an hour swinging their swords and swords, and in a guest room of the post station, Qiu Dart Master asked, "Didn't he tell you?" With this little bit of work alone, I don't believe in slaughtering a mountain man, it's so easy to kill, can this ordinary man still let those monks who are high up on the mountain be deceived like this? ”

Xu Dangtou lit a dry tobacco, took two puffs, and spit out a cloud of smoke, "Little brother didn't take the initiative to mention it, so I didn't ask, but after walking the rivers and lakes of Beihai for half a lifetime, I have seen a lot of strange people and strange things, and it is not so rare. Even the group of neurotics of the Youshen Sect are not easy to provoke, they are just catching some children to raise and eat, most of them are just a mountain and wild cultivator who does not enter the stream, and hundreds of thousands of troops of Youquan have died in their old age, so you can guess it, right? Probably a mouse who carefully stole two mouthfuls of sesame oil in front of the temple god statue. Besides, when we see each other in trouble, we can save it, this is the truth that I believe in, you and I are not clean, when the big boss was still alive, were you afraid? Why don't you just rescue us back into the mountains, and treat us as your own with a bright back? I think people have always been accurate, this little brother Zhang is not a bad person, and these children who have eaten solid meat for a few years, even if they are cheap, they can't hide the dead breath on their bodies, and these hard-working people are afraid that they will not survive to start a family. ”

Hearing that the big boss was talking about old things, the farmer fell silent for a while and stopped talking. The burly man who took a few more puffs of dry tobacco thought for a while and said, "The children are fine, there is no need to worry, but the monk is very strange, empty temple?" Lao Tzu has never heard of it, and this monk can't see the details, what kind of exercise is the two-hearted communication? You keep an eye on it for me. ”

In the eyes of an old man like him, monks and Taoists are generally not easy to mess with.

Qiu Dart Master said in a deep voice: "Big brother, after this trip, go back to the mountains with your brothers, do you really trust those demons who worship Tai Sui?" It's easy to be afraid of accidents on this dart road. ”

Xu Cunyi smiled, "Although there have been undercurrents under the surface of the water in Beihai over the years, in the final analysis, it is their mountain matter, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

"It's not early, you go and rest, we'll be on the road early tomorrow." Xu Darttou knocked the dry tobacco stick on the table, saw the brother who had been with him all his life retreated, looked at the quietly burning candle on the corner of the table, and said to himself: "You saved me at the beginning, and now I saved him, and then you were killed by me, I must not be killed by him, otherwise what is this?" Don't you say, big boss? ”

In the quiet room, only the faint candlelight flickered softly, as if unwilling to answer.
