The sky was slightly bright, and everyone heard that the farmer and aunt were busy outside.

After the slaughter of cattle and sheep last night, there was too much meat to eat, and ordinary farmers were reluctant to kill a pig or a sheep during the Chinese New Year, but now they suddenly killed so much that they had to marinate or smoke the meat so that it was easy to collect, so they had a lot of chores to do.

This is the habit of ordinary people to make up for the sadness in their hearts with their hard-working hands after experiencing disasters, and this has been the case throughout the ages.

So, Yifeng and his senior brothers and sisters also got up and followed the sound to see if the farmer needed help.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Nong let them into the house and let them eat breakfast without letting them interfere in the slightest.

The fire monkey and the others couldn't, so they had to drink the porridge first.

Dongfang Fish belly white, Yifeng and the others are ready to go on the road, farewell at the gate of the courtyard, Uncle Nong thanked them again, and kindly told them again and again, let them bypass Qingping Town, don't fight with the people of Qingping Temple again.

The fire monkey and the others looked at the farmhouse, which was much more deserted than yesterday, and the two uncles had extra white hair overnight, sighed, and folded their hands to say goodbye.

Walking on the road, Yifeng and Xiugu no longer quarreled, and followed closely behind the fire monkey and Shuli, after last night's turmoil, the two of them have also grown a lot, and many difficulties in this world can be seen.

But the fire monkey still hopes that they can be lively and playful, and it is the difficulty of this world that innocence and joy are more precious.

Xiu Gu's footsteps paused, and she asked forward in a low voice: "Second Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother, just now the uncle reminded us to bypass Qingping Town to avoid any more conflicts with them, why do we still want to go to Qingping Town now?"

The fire monkey smiled and said to Xiu Gu, "Xiu Gu, we helped Uncle and them last night, right?"

Xiu Gu was puzzled: "That's right." ”

The fire monkey continued, "What if they come again and we are gone?"

Xiu Gu said indignantly: "They dare to come again!"

Shuli's face was indifferent, and he interjected: "Why don't you dare, people in the world die for money, birds die for food, even if they have been taught, but they already knew last night that we are just monks, and they will inevitably come to entangle." ”

Xiu Gu suddenly said: "I understand, today we will go to theorize with the monks of Qingping Temple!"

Yifeng didn't speak, his face was calm, as if he had already thought of this reason, the fire monkey and Shuli saw it in their eyes, and nodded silently.

The four of them went all the way to the north, without stopping, and the target was Qingping Town.

Qingping Town is one of the important towns in Mangnan County in the south of Yunzhou, and is known as the four major towns of Mangnan County together with Xiushui Town, Tianmei Town and Leixing Town.

There is a quarter of Mangnan County, hundreds of thousands of people, the jurisdiction is vast, so Qingping Town is a well-known town.

As the largest temple in Qingping Town, Qingping Temple is naturally also prosperous with incense, the flow of people is like a river, the wealth is abundant, and the gold is brilliant.

The four of them came to Qingping Town, where there were many shops, and all kinds of people came and went, so it was not lively.

Even though there were three monks and a little girl, there were many people in strange costumes walking in the crowd, as well as other strange monks, so no one noticed them.

But they noticed that all the monks in the street were walking in the same direction, and there were many people who were talking to each other.

The fire monkey stopped the two of them, saluted, and asked, "Two donors, I am passing by the treasure land, and I am not familiar with the place, may I ask if there is a place to sleep in the town?"

The two old men returned the salute, and an old man with a coarse cloth head said casually: "This master, this Qingping Town is very big, there are more than a dozen inns of all sizes, you see, there is one in front, and you can reach it in a few steps." ”

The old man next to him argued: "What do you know, why do you need to be so troublesome." Master, you don't have to spend that money, Qingping Temple has a house in the town, as long as you are a foot monk, you can put it into accommodation, and you don't need to quit it, as long as you are a Buddhist disciple, you can move in. ”

The old man with a coarse cloth head also said: "I don't understand, I must have thought of it, but today is different, today Qingping Temple has a big Lent, pray for all the people in Qingping Town, it is a five-year event in Qingping Town, and then later, it will be even more lively, and the new abbot of Qingping Temple will be elected, everyone in Qingping Temple is very busy, I am afraid that today is not free to entertain these masters." ”

The old man next to him was unconvinced: "What a grand event once every five years, it's only four years now, but I heard that there are elders in Qingping Temple who don't accept the abbot's discipline and want to borrow today's Zhaijiao ......"

The old man with the coarse cloth wrapped his head hurriedly covered his mouth, made a silent gesture, and looked left and right in a panic: "Old man Chen, you don't want to go back to the village today!

The fire monkey and the others watched the two old men leave, and glanced at Shuli, and they all felt that today's excitement must be strange and should not be missed.

But they are going to theorize with Qingping Temple today, and there will inevitably be a conflict, and it will be inconvenient to stay in Qingping Temple, so it is better to find an inn to put down their luggage first, and then make plans.

Shuli and the two junior brothers and sisters naturally had no opinion, and the group walked towards the inn in front.

They didn't notice that behind them, there was a slender man with a mysterious look, who saw them walking towards the inn, turned around and hurried in the direction of Qingping Temple.

"Second brother, they're in town. "A side room in Qingping Temple, the first man to say.

The one sitting on the top is the second brother who made trouble with the farmer last night, and the black-faced man is also called "Brother Axe", but one arm is broken, wrapped in white cloth, and a puddle of red oozes.

Brother Axe gritted his teeth and said: "Hmph, I'm afraid that they won't come, don't think about leaving when they come! Lao Tzu didn't bring the plate axe that day, otherwise they would have become meat sauce a long time ago!"

The second brother touched his chest with a faint pain and waved his hand: "Go, first go and tell the Qingfa Master of Qingping Temple, and then call the brothers who are not injured, and then notify a few brothers, spread out, and monitor those monks." Today, Elder Naming has a big plan, and we must not let them destroy and make trouble, otherwise we will not have good fruit to eat!"

On the street of Qingping Town, the fire monkey and others inquired at the inn that the Dazhai Jiao in Qingping Temple still had an hour to start, so the fire monkey took a few junior brothers and sisters to wander around the lively street.

The fire monkey often comes to Qingping Town to buy supplies in the temple, so he is quite familiar with the situation in the town, with the excited Xiu Gu and Yifeng, in the town to see the juggling, that look at the paper kite, and buy a string of sugar gourds for each of them, Shuli silently followed behind them.

Xiugu pulled a wind to a place of juggling performances, only to see everyone surrounded, in the middle of the field, there is a strong man, shirtless, with a big vat on his head, and a cute little girl sitting in the vat with both palms, and he pushed it up hard.

The vat flew up, and the strong man turned a few somersaults below, seeing that the vat was about to smash down, the strong man below immediately stood upside down, and the vat landed steadily on the big man's feet, shaking quickly, and the vat immediately rotated non-stop.

Stopped for a while, the little girl in the tank immediately turned over, stood on the top of the cylinder, and then turned around on the top of the cylinder like a butterfly flying, and the whole set of actions flowed smoothly, winning a burst of applause from the surrounding people.

Xiu Gu also excitedly pulled a wind to jump, and the people around looked at it, and a beautiful and lively little girl pulled a little novice to jump around on the street, thinking it was very strange.

The fire monkey didn't want to attract so much attention, so he beckoned Xiugu to go forward, and the people went to watch the juggling again.

Xiu Gu was very reluctant, pouted and followed behind, Yifeng saw it, and said, "Senior sister, don't be upset, there is more fun ahead!"

"Hmph, stinky second senior brother, it's obviously so fun that people don't want to see it. Xiu Gu was still not happy.

Suddenly, Yifeng pointed to the front and said excitedly: "Senior sister, look, there are people performing illusions in front!"

Xiugu's big eyes lit up at once, and when she looked ahead, she saw a person who looked like a Taoist priest, carrying a whisk of dust and changing tricks there, which also attracted many audiences.

Xiu Gu ran over with a wind again, and when she ran past the fire monkey, Xiu Gu made a grimace at him and stuck out her tongue. The fire monkey couldn't help but laugh and shook his head helplessly.

Shuli followed the fire monkey and said, "Senior brother, do you feel that something is wrong?" ”

The fire monkey paused, looked around carefully, and found that there were a few fixed people in the crowd, always looking at them from time to time, so he said in a deep voice: "See, it should be those Buddha people from yesterday." ”

"No, senior brother, it's not all. Shuli seemed to be casually observing the surroundings, and at the same time pointed in the direction where Xiu Gu ran over, "Have you noticed that there are a lot of Taoist priests on the street today?"

Shuli pointed in front of him, and there was a burst of exclamations, cheers, and laughter.
