Yingyin and a group of monks chased them to the Jiujiang wharf, found a ferry, and rowed to the opposite bank. Ying Yin sat on the boat, looking at the scenery on both sides of the strait, and hummed a little song proudly.

Hui Ming scolded: "The mantle that was deceived has not yet been settled, and it is not the time to be happy." ”

Ying Yin said confidently: "Senior brother, don't worry, within three days, Zhang Shaofei will obediently hand over the ancestor's robe." ”

Hui Ming listened to him and looked at him curiously.

Ying Yin explained in detail: "Zhang Shaofei only walked six hours earlier than us, and his legs and feet were injured and could not walk fast. It is 400 miles from Jiangzhou to Hongzhou, so if we don't reach Hongzhou, we can catch up with him. ”

Hui Ming knew in his heart that he was reasonable, but he didn't like to see him get carried away, so he deliberately raised the bar with him and said, "How do you know which way Zhang Shaofei goes?" ”

Ying Yin smiled and said: "There is only one way from Jiangzhou to go up the Ganjiang River through Hongzhou. Because the Great Yu Ridge stretches from east to west, towering above the clouds, there is only one canyon running through the north and south. Besides, I am familiar with every clump, every ditch, and every fork in the road on this road, so I ......"

"Hey....." Hui Ming asked curiously: "Didn't you say that you are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang?" How do you become so familiar with the road to Lingnan? Could it be that you have never been able to go through it before you became a monk? ”

"I, I, before I became a monk, in ...... In ......", the shadow was speechless and almost revealed the truth. I saw him roll his eyes, point to the front, and change the topic, "Oh, everyone, look, it's time to Jiangxin!" Wow, what a big wave! ”

With Shadow Yin's pointing, all the monks turned their attention to the surging river.

The Yangtze River is mighty, and the turbidity waves are empty. At this moment, a strange thick fog rose up on the river, tightly enveloping their ferry.

Even the boat boss, who had been playing the ferry on the Yangtze River all his life, panicked and dizzy, pushing the rudder handle left and right, and the ferry was circling in the river......

At the same time, a gust of wind suddenly blew from upstream, pushing their ferry boat downstream and shooting arrows downstream.

Boatmen say that a good helmsman can make the wind blow in all directions. The captain of the boat was just about to use the wind to continue sailing the boat to the south shore, when suddenly, a stronger westerly wind blew, and there was a loud "click", and the mast was broken.

Winds, waves, fog, and out-of-control ferries were tossed downstream by the rushing currents and wild winds......

When they finally brought the boat to the shore, they had already drifted down the river for a hundred and ten miles, and they actually crossed the mouth of the lake.

It was this sudden and incredible accident that made them lose the best opportunity to catch up with Zhang Shaofei.

In desperation, Ying Yin was forced to change his plan from land to water: take a boat from the mouth of the lake to cross Poyang Lake, the largest lake in China, to Hongzhou.

The monks are very happy, sitting on the boat, they can not only enjoy the lake and mountains, but also save the hard work of running around with their feet.

However, the boat travels in the water at a much slower speed than walking. What's more, the boat from north to south in Poyang Lake is always a little against the current, and when they arrive in Hongzhou and abandon the boat and land, Zhang Shaofei has already passed through the sky like a goose, and there is no trace.

Hui Ming, Ying Yin and a group of monks rode horses and continued to chase. This group of monks chant and meditate on weekdays, how have they ever suffered bumps on horses? Their bones are falling apart. Therefore, after arriving in Ganzhou, many people retreated.

Ying Yin gathered everyone together and encouraged: "Senior brothers, everyone knows that the robe that was deceived by Zhang Shaofei is a symbol of our Zen Huimen. Therefore, no matter what, it can't be allowed to fall into Zhang Shaofei's hands. ”

"However, the robe was personally taught to Zhang Shaofei by the elder!" Those who are reluctant to move forward have brought this fact out.

"This ......," Ying Yin was speechless for a moment, only to see him frown, and then said, "The elder is getting older and more confused, so he secretly handed over the mantle to the coolie woodcutter. We have all followed him for many years, and our Buddhist attainments and meditation skills are all stronger than Zhang Shaofei, but he ruthlessly abandoned us! Therefore, after we regain the mantle this time, according to the temple tradition, it is up to everyone to re-elect the successor of the grandmaster, and no one else has the final say. This is also a manifestation of the equality of the Dharma. Ying Yin paused for a moment, and then said, "Of course, the people who came out to regain the mantle this time have all made great efforts and made great contributions, and they are more qualified to inherit the position of Grandmaster." If...... At the very least, in the future, the deacons of the temple, such as the second senior brother, the superintendent, the acquaintance, and the hall master, should be asked to serve as you! ”

Having said this, everyone tacitly cheered up and continued to track south.

After they arrived in Nankang County, the road to Guangdong was divided into two parts. A wide post road leads directly to Guangzhou, an important town in Lingnan, and one enters the vast mountains of northern Guangdong.

In comparison, the journey to Qiu County, Zhang Shaofei's hometown, is slightly closer by taking this rugged mountain road. Moreover, after arriving in Shaozhou, you can take a boat down the Beijiang River to Sanshui, which is very close to Qiu County.

However, Yingyin decided that Zhang Shaofei would return to Qiu County, but went to Lingnan instead. Therefore, he advocated chasing down the main road.

Hui Ming asked him why?

"Because ......" Ying Yin wanted to speak and stopped, and said after a long time: "I heard that Zhang Shaofei is from Qiu County. ”

Hui Ming said: "Just because Zhang Shaofei will be from Qiu County, will he go back to his hometown?" There's a reason for what you're saying. ”

So, everyone decided to chase down the path.

Ying Yin was a hundred unwilling, but he couldn't say why, so he had to follow everyone down.

Fortunately, this road can also lead to Qiu County.

The monks beat their horses and turned into the path.

However, not long after moving forward, the grass on the path was high and dense, stumbling horses, rowing horses' bellies, and it was difficult to walk an inch.

Hui Ming beckoned to "dismount".

The crowd abandoned their horses and walked.

The path became more and more difficult to walk, and everyone was out of breath and fell behind, but Huiming was the only one who took the lead.

He turned around and shouted, "Are you women?" Grinding, walking so slowly! Shadow Yin breathless: "Hui ...... Master Hui Ming...... Senior brother, you ...... Slow down. We ......"

Hui Ming said anxiously: "No matter how slow it is, that kid will want to catch up when he enters the deep mountains!" Looking at the embarrassed statue of Ying Yin and the others, Hui Ming stomped his feet, helplessly "coughed", and chased forward alone.
