At this moment, the "Six Heroes of Shudong" are riding horses and walking under the fiery afternoon sun slightly westward. From the far mountainside, the heavy and thick sound of temple bells could be heard.

On the mountain road, there are more and more pedestrians, and the passing is non-stop. Ye Jinfeng and the other six brothers could see that these pedestrians came and went, each busy with their own livelihoods, and they were nothing more than poor people living in this Taibai Mountain area. Still, the poor people in tattered clothes stared at the six horseback riders with fluttering sashes and swords at their waists. But when I saw the six of them: a man in white rode a flower horse and shook a big fan with black characters on a white background at the end, and another boy in white walked in front of the wind.

"Humph! I don't know where this comes from?! I only know that I can enjoy the mountains and rivers and be at ease, but I don't know the hardships of our poor mountain people. Look at your idle virtues, today I went to this Taibai Mountain to play optimistic light, I really don't know how high the sky is, how thick it is. We, the poor people in the mountains, can only hum a little song to relieve the boredom in our chests: 'You shake the fan leisurely, and we are wet with sweat.' It is difficult to sleep day and night, how can there be a poor man leisurely? ’”

Just when the people of these passing mountain villages were pondering the six people who were riding horses leisurely and slowly, Ye Jinfeng, the second son who was at the head of the six, suddenly rose into another heartfelt state of mind. He looked at the groups of mountain people passing by, and a chill pierced his heart in this hot summer. This is out of sight, out of mind. Staying at home for many days, only knowing that the people in their hometown are rich and live and work in peace and contentment; So far today, I have learned that the outside world is not only sinister and unpredictable, but also that there are people in mountain villages who are poor to such a point outside this world! Just by looking at these ragged old men and the naughty children with unrelenting yellow hair, roaring noses and noses, and saliva, you will know that their lives must be undependent, and famine, hardship, and natural disasters will inevitably attack them from time to time, so that the old and young mountain people here always show a look of poverty and misery. Look at the woolly grass hermitage that is simply erected next to the mountain and the edge of the forest, as well as the uneven crops at the foot of the mountain, which makes Ye Jinfeng sigh in his heart! He only hated himself for being more than capable of caring for so many poor people, and for being unable to clean up the fields of this unbearable shabby mountain people. What's more, now that he is wandering the rivers and lakes, many headless troubles are entangled with him all the time, and he needs to sort them out one by one. How can he have the leisure to save the people from fire and water? In fact, he also knows that this kind of heavy responsibility of worrying about the country and the people and benefiting the people is borne by the current imperial court. As a person with lofty ideals in the world, he can only do what he can do with all his heart. But when and when he thought of this chaotic world, how could he not worry—when and where would it be the end to change this bleak and impoverished situation, to change these hungry and cold people? Success and defeat, uneven wealth and poverty, this is the way of the world. But the dead and the losers are also worthy of cherishing and respect, a will succeed in ten thousand bones, the dead and the losers of the dry bones of the victors have made the winners, and the dry bones under the feet of the victors are piled up; In the same way, the poor make the rich, and the poor support the feet of the rich.

However, although the second son, Ye Jinfeng, thought so in his heart, he didn't show it at all on the surface, still smiling, and talking with the brothers.

However, in the hearts of Wu Tianba, Ouyang Qingfeng and others at this moment, it can also be said that they are no different from the eldest brother Ye Jinfeng. Everything about this Taibai mountain and river has already come into their eyes. Even though this beautiful mountain and river, abrupt and rugged, the peaks are steep, the pavilions are dotted, and the water is surrounded by water on all sides, the scenery is absolutely beautiful, however, it still can't hide the chilling poverty of the people here. Although they sympathize with it, they have to pretend to turn a blind eye; They had nothing to think of but to go their own way with passion, and only hated themselves for not being able to pay much attention to this poor and shabby family.

The six brothers talked and walked and pondered, and before they knew it, they came to the foot of a stone chiseled staircase that went down the hill and could not be seen at a glance. Everyone looked at the front of the mountain, only to see that halfway up the mountainside: connecting the steps of the hillside like a ladder, a large temple seemed to be looming, just like the ordinary heavenly palace fairyland, mirage. Around the temple, which seemed to be hanging in the air, there was a pine forest, and the clouds were so vast that there was not even a single figure to be seen. On the southwest side of the temple, a mountain cliff is close in front of it. From afar, the cliff looked like a cactus pinning the temple in the sky.

"I haven't been to this dragon temple for two or three years. When I see it today, it makes a big difference! "I saw "Black Swallow Drilling the Sky," Zhang Yunhai said with his head held high.

"Good! What a temple in the middle of a mountain forest! The "Iron Fan Boy" couldn't help but look up and admire: "When I came here a few years ago, there was still a light on both sides of the temple, but now it is full of green trees!" ”

"Hahaha!" "Flying Heavenly Dragon" raised his head and smiled: "This Dragon Descending Temple is right in front of us, how can it be reasonable to have a mistake and not enter?" Dismount! Brothers! Ascending the Dragon Temple! ”

With that, Yejin Feng was the first to jump out of the saddle and lead the horse to a large pine tree at the foot of the mountain. Then he turned back to the five brothers. So, Wu Tianba and the other five people also happily turned over and dismounted, tied the horses one by one, and prepared to go up the mountain and enter the temple.

Soon, the six brothers had climbed the stairs. In the middle of the line, the six of them suddenly noticed that next to this stone step, there was an old Taoist priest who was as thin as firewood sitting at some point. I saw a whisk of dust lying horizontally beside him, and the back handle was leaning against his left thigh. In front of his legs, where he was sitting cross-legged, a few copper coins were placed on the ground. It seemed like he had begged for half a day. Looking at the green sermon clothes on his body, it is even more tattered and messy. Depending on the situation, it must have not been washed for three years. If it weren't for the pale hair of his silver needle, it would have been difficult for the six of them to see that he was actually a Taoist! And the six of them didn't even realize that it was this old man who had been secretly following them for many days! However, the "Six Heroes of Shudong" seems to have no impression of this for a long time, which shows that this person is by no means an idle person!

At this time, the pale-faced and wrinkled old Taoist priest raised his head slightly, and said eloquently: "Don't ask about the future when people do good things, and God will not tolerate people doing bad things." Yin and yang are good and bad, and the calamity is inevitable; Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. It's not that I don't report it, the time has not come. When the time comes, report it immediately! The six strong men do a lot of good, so they can be pitiful and poor. Poor Dao came here early this morning, and he didn't even have the strength to go up the mountain. ”

"Old Daoist!" I saw that the "Flying Dragon" had taken out a silver ingot and put it in the old Taoist priest's hand and said, "Take this ingot of silver, go down the mountain quickly!" ”

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Seeing this, the old Taoist priest hurriedly got up and thanked the generous boy in front of him again and again. Unconsciously, the old Taoist priest was already in tears, and his lips trembled and said, "Thanks to the holy grace of the son!" Childe's great kindness and great virtue will never be forgotten! Now, the poor road will no longer have to beg along the way. ”

As soon as the old Taoist priest finished speaking, a group of stinky beggars with unkempt hair, dirty faces, and ragged clothes came running from all around. Among this group of beggars, there are young beggars in their teens, old men in their fifties and sixties, and old women in their seventies and eighties. However, what the "Six Heroes of Shudong" never expected was that among these beggars, there was one of the "four beggar lords" today, Xi Luo, the beggar lord of the West. This person is a first-class master of the rivers and lakes on an equal footing with the "Four Great Gang Leaders" and the "Four Great Beggars". However, Gongxi Luo is hidden among this group of beggars today, and of course he has his own purpose of hiding in the rivers and lakes. He has known about the coming of the "Six Heroes of Shudong" for a long time, but he just doesn't want to show his true body too early. This character often loves like this, Taoguang is obscure, and the dark chivalrous bones make people turn a blind eye.

Little gossip. Besides, when this group of beggars saw that a distinguished guest gave the old Taoist priest a silver tael, they rushed forward in a swarm, knelt down beside the mountain road around Ye Jinfeng and the other six brothers, and pleaded bitterly: "Son! You can do it! Give me something to eat! …… Give me some silver! ”

A noisy begging sound besieged Ye Jinfeng, Wu Tianba and other six people. In this situation, the six of them were all touched and felt, sympathetic and pitiful, but helpless. So, Ye Jinfeng shook his head and sighed, and took the lead again to touch his waist.

The time was short, and the six of them fought together, and finally voluntarily raised a large handful of broken silver. It is by no means what is now called "illegal fundraising", but the so-called "illegal fundraising" is also the product of government approval and hype by the public media and celebrities, but the final result is to defraud and blow up the hard-earned money of ordinary people. For example, "Easy Rent Treasure", Kunming Pan Asia and so on. So, Wu Tianba held these hard-won pieces of silver, pure hard-earned money, and distributed them to this group of beggars one by one.

Finally, the beggars reluctantly watched as the six benefactors continued up the rocky steps until they were out of sight.

At the same time, the thin old Taoist in rags shook the silver wire and brushed the dust, and went down the mountain rocks. In the mountain nest, his majestic singing voice wafted—

"It is good to do good, it is good to do good, and those who do good are happy to be Taotao, wealth is determined by the previous life, and poverty is also a move in the previous life. Let you use your strategy, it is difficult to get around the heavens. Persuade the gentleman to do more good, do good and have high morality, the cup is not empty, and there is no trouble in the heart. Before the moon and singing, carefree only to old age. ”

It is said that the "Six Heroes of Shudong" traveled halfway up the mountain, and a scene once again attracted their attention: they saw two bald monks, one old and one young, walking out of the mountains and forests in the east. The old monk was about fifty years old, seven feet tall, with a fat head, big ears, and a big belly. Under his neck, there is a string of Buddha beads, and he is holding a dragon head cane in his hand, which looks like Maitreya Buddha! However, the little monk beside the fat monk is the opposite, born with yellow muscles and thin bones. Only his head was smooth and shiny, which was quite eye-catching. Judging by his age, he is only thirteen or fourteen years old!

At this time, the big and small monks had already come to Ye Jinfeng and the other six from the side. Seeing this, Ye Jinfeng bowed forward and said, "Excuse me, master!" Are you the presiding officer of this Dragon Temple? ”

"Amitabha! Definitely! Donor! The fat monk denied with a smile: "The old man first came here today, and he didn't know what the Dragon Descending Temple was here!" ”

"What? Is the master new here? Ye Jinfeng was puzzled and asked: "That is the case, I think that the master, as a person of Buddhism, should not know about the Descending Dragon Temple on Taibai Mountain, right?" ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Hahaha! The fat monk laughed and said, "This son is really good at talking!" There are many famous mountain monks in the world, and the old man has been a monk for many years, and he should be familiar with the famous mountains and temples in the world. But this time, Lao Wei really just heard the donor talk about this Dragon Descending Temple! In fact, Lao Qu is a foreign monk, traveling all over the world, today is the first time to drive, and I don't know much about this Taibai Mountain. However, don't look at the old man who just arrived here in Taibai Mountain, but the old man has already seen a lot of strange things happen here! ”

"Oh? Marvel?! Wu Tianba then asked, "What is the strange thing?" Can the Master tell us about it? ”

"Hahaha!" The fat monk couldn't help laughing and said, "Good! Wonderful! I said that you strong men are really smart and confused! The wonders I am about are your heroic deeds. ”
