Ningbo Mansion was once known as Mingzhou Mansion, located in the east of Zhejiang, north of Hangzhou Bay, south of Taizhou, east of Zhoushan, west of Shaoxing, is a historical city. In the Tang Dynasty, it was a starting point of the "Maritime Silk Road", and was known as the three major ports with Yangzhou and Guangzhou. In the Song Dynasty, Guangzhou and Quanzhou were listed as the three major port towns. In the fourteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1381), in order to avoid the country's name, take the meaning of "Haiding Rule, Boning", and change the name of Mingzhou Mansion to Ningbo Mansion.

The official roads in the south are mostly mountain roads, and only two horse-drawn carriages can be allowed to go hand in hand, which is far less wide than the post roads in the north. At this time, a horse-drawn carriage was running fast on the official road, and a chant came out of the carriage: "The weather in Jiangnan is good in October, and the poor winter scenery is like spring." The frost is light and does not kill the grass, and the desert sand is dry at the beginning of the warm day. The old leaves are yellow like tender trees, and the cold cherry branches are white flowers. At this time, he was drunk with envy, and the five horses had no reason to enter the restaurant......"

The man cleared his throat and was about to chant something more, but was interrupted by a young woman's voice: "Nerd, don't mess around here, we're almost there?" I can hear the sea. ”

On October 29th, everyone and Lin Meiying said goodbye, Liu Hanyan hugged Lin Meiying and shed tears, Lin Meiying repeatedly advised: "Yan'er, after finishing from Putuo, you will soon go to sea, this has been outside for two years, you must not be arbitrary, you have to listen to your father and Hou'er, remember?" ”

Seeing the two of them like this, Jin Minhui and Li Zhixian couldn't help but think of their own family, although Jin Minhui's family didn't treat her well, but in a foreign country, homesickness was always difficult to control, and her eyes were red. Because of the long distance of this trip, Liu Hanyan left the prince in the Peach Blossom Sect, and the prince seemed to know that he would be left behind, so he hugged Liu Hanyan's legs and didn't let go, and later saw that she was resolute, so he had to watch everyone leave with round eyes.

After meeting with Zhu Zhi and the other seven people, the carriage continued south. The further down, the more difficult the road became, and it was the seventh day of November when he arrived in Nantong, Jiangsu, and Wang Hou saw that the one-month deadline had arrived, and according to the instructions of Doctor Hua, he gave Dao Feng the other two pills to take.

On November 18, everyone arrived in Jiaxing, Zhejiang. After inquiring, Zhu Zhi said to Zong Shao: "Master, Dao Feng will be handed over to us, this is the closest to Jiuhua Mountain, as long as it is ten days away, you can rest assured to go back, Putuo is over, I will take Dao Feng back to Jiuhua Mountain." ”

Although Zong Shao was relieved not to go down to Dao Feng, he knew that it would not work if he went, and after discussing with the third senior brother Zong Qi, he thought that the senior brother would not be promoted to the abbot soon, and the five of them would come out for so many days, the senior brother would definitely be worried, so he said to Zhu Zhihe: "In this way, it will be hard for Zhu Shi, we are waiting for good news in Jiuhua Mountain." After saying goodbye to the people, the five of them did not take a carriage, but went west along the mountain road.

Two days later, it was already November 20th, and everyone arrived in Hangzhou, because Dao Feng was injured, and everyone had no heart to play. Zhu Zhidao: "Daoist, master, from here to Lushan, is the nearest journey, you don't need to go to Putuo." ”

The idiot glared: "What, you want to drive us away?" Before Zhu Zhi could answer, he heard Wang Hou say: "Dao Chief, Uncle Zhu is thinking about you, you and the master are both the masters of the same faction, how can you leave your family?" If you say it for so long, you disciples will definitely be worried. ”

The big idiot laughed and said: "Brother Zhu, I was joking with you just now, Wang Xiaozi, you don't have to be a sycophant, I have already agreed with the old monk that I will break up with you here." Zhou Qingzhu hurriedly said: "Master, I want to accompany Sister A Yan to Putuo Mountain." ”

The idiot stretched his face: "I think you're playing wild, aren't you going back to Bailuguan?" Zhou Qingzhu saw that the master was unhappy, he wanted to say but didn't dare to say it, he looked at the master, hoping that he could help say a few good words, but he heard him recite: "Amitabha! ”

"Old monk, you don't have to be weird with me, do you think I can't control Zhu'er?" The idiot Taoist glared at the monk, and said, "Zhu'er, they are going to do serious things, not to play, what are you doing with them?" I told Wang Xiaozi that after the matter was done, he would bring his three daughters-in-law to Lushan. ”

In a word, Kim Minhui and Lee Ji-hyun had hot faces, and they stood there pinching their sleeves. Liu Hanyan asked, "Hey, Dao Chief, where did the three daughters-in-law come from?" ”

Zhou Qingzhu turned his worries into joy, and hurriedly replied: "Of course it's you, as well as Sister Li and Sister Jin...... Brother Wang, did you really say that you would come to Lushan? Wang Hou nodded: "The master invited me to Lushan twice, this time there is just a chance, after Dao Feng's injury is healed, we will definitely go." ”

At that moment, everyone decided that the four people of the Great Idiot Taoist, the Monk, Zhang Qingling, and Zhou Qingzhu took a carriage back to Lushan. Zhu Zhi saw that there were only six people left, so he asked another car to return, and he took Daofeng with him and sat in the same carriage with Wang Hou, Liu Hanyan, Li Zhixian, and Jin Minhui. Hangzhou is only five days away from Ningbo, and on the morning of November 25, everyone arrived at the seaside.

The six of them got out of the carriage, and after asking passers-by, Wang Hou took out ten taels of treasure money and handed it to the coachman, and told him to rest nearby, and the six of them took a boat to Putuo Mountain.

The sea is sparkling and smoky, flocks of seagulls fly in the air, from time to time they chirp happily, and on the blue sea, fishing boats shuttle, masts stand in a forest, and the wind blows on the face, although it is still a little cold, but it is not as cold as the northern seaside.

There are many cruise ships to Putuo Mountain parked on the shore, and the boats are not large, only accommodating 20 people at most. Wang Hou found a small boat that could seat ten people, and the boatman took the treasure money with a smile, and everyone got on the boat, and the boat gently and slowly rocked towards Putuo Mountain. Because the distance is relatively long, there are three rowers in total, and they take turns rocking the oars.

One of the boatmen surnamed Xu was very talkative, and asked everyone in Jiangnan soft language: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you go to the South China Sea Holy Realm, do you go to the mountains and rivers, or burn incense and worship the Buddha?" Wang Hou said: "Boat family, we are going to play." ”

"Then you are right, Putuo Mountain is not only known as the four famous mountains of Buddhism with Wutai Mountain, Emei Mountain, and Jiuhua Mountain, and is the dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva to educate sentient beings, but also has beautiful scenery, there is Meiwan Spring Dawn, Tea Mountain Fog, Ancient Cave Tide Sound...... Twelve scenes, Meiwan spring dawn is ......"

The boatman talked for almost an hour, but everyone was fine anyway, and it was interesting to hear him say, so even Dao Feng moved a small bench and listened carefully with his cheeks up. Liu Hanyan asked, "Dao Feng, do you understand?" Dao Feng nodded, and then asked, "Donor, when will you be able to talk about black loaches?" ”

The boatman was stunned for a moment, and Wang Hou hurriedly said: "Don't be surprised by the boatman, this little monk wants to release the loaches when he sees them, and he is addicted." The boatman sighed: "No wonder." Speaking of release, it reminds me of the story of immortality, ladies and gentlemen, do you know what kind of place this is? …… More than 1,600 years ago, Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to lead 3,000 boys and girls, plus nearly 5,000 sailors, and it was from here that he set out to travel east to Japan and go to sea to collect the elixir of immortality, but he was never heard from.

"It is said that the current Japanese, is the three thousand boys and girls brought by Xu Fu back then, but unfortunately they do not recognize their ancestors, as long as the court is not stable, they will take advantage of the situation, often harass the coastal people, more than 60 years ago, when the world was in turmoil, the Japanese went ashore to burn and loot, all evil, my grandfather died in their hands......"

Liu Hanyan was angry when he heard this, and asked, "Uncle, why don't you take revenge on the widows?" "Revenge? I was not born at that time, and I heard my father say that they organized a lot of fishermen to fight against the Japanese invaders, but the Japanese were very cunning, and the steel knives in their hands were so powerful that my father and they had no power to fight back, and as long as there were more of us, they fled to the sea. ”

The boatman sighed: "Over the years, the world has been peaceful, and the Japanese have not dared to come to make trouble, but we also dare not go to the deep sea to fish, for fear of encountering them, so we will do some ferry work to make a living." ”

A person at the stern of the boat shouted: "Xu Dabao, you are talking again, don't come over to help, otherwise you won't be able to reach Putuo when it's dark." Xu Dabao answered and walked out of the cabin.

In the evening, the boat finally came ashore, Zhu Zhi took Dao Feng and Wang Hou to help everyone ashore. Under the twilight, I saw that the mountain was surrounded by the sea on all sides, with golden sand and white waves, green peaks and green mountains, and beautiful scenery. The trees on the island are abundant, full of thousand-year-old camphor, there are more pilgrims and tourists, all the way to worship sincerely, and the sound of Sanskrit waves constitutes the holy realm of "Haitian Buddha Country".

The six of them didn't know where to go, when they saw a monk about thirty years old on the shore and asked, "Is the benefactor General Zhaoyi?" Everyone was stunned, Wang Hou reacted first, and hurriedly said: "Exactly, the master was sent by Abbot Haimo?" ”

The monk said: "It was the abbot who sent the poor monk to come, and General Zhaoyi asked me to come." Wang Hou thanked him, and everyone followed the monk up the stairs, Liu Hanyan pulled Wang Hou's sleeve and asked softly: "Nerd, who is the abbot of Haimo?" How did you meet? Wang Hou smiled: "You have also seen him, that day at Lugou Bridge, the person who almost took the initiative with Zhou Duo, think about it again." ”

Liu Han said: "Oh, I remember, are the more than twenty monks before the Wudang Shaolin two factions arrived at Lugou Bridge?" Seeing Wang Hou nodding, he asked again, "Then you didn't talk to him at that time, how could he arrange for someone to wait for you here?" ”

Wang Houdao: "Master Haimo passed the first round of the martial arts conference and entered the top 45, but in the second round, he lost to the head of Wudang Sun and failed to enter the top nine. On the day of the end of the martial arts conference, I found him to ask about the situation, and knew that there was a lot of Buddha's hand here, although he had not seen the five-color Buddha's hand, but there was a great opportunity to look for it here...... Otherwise, I came thousands of miles away, and it was a waste of effort to run empty, and it also delayed Dao Feng. ”

Li Zhixian glanced at Wang Hou when he heard this, and secretly thought that this person seemed to be not serious, and he was not sloppy in big things...... Suddenly, I remembered that in the Peach Blossom Laughing Restaurant, he hugged himself and flew down the corridor, his face couldn't help but be hot, and he remembered that when he broke up with the Taoist and the master in Hangzhou, he "brought his three daughters-in-law to Lushan to play", and his face was even hotter.
