Zhong Kuda led a team of people to guard the door, and the formation was huge.

Wang Qilin walked to the entrance of the cave and asked curiously, "Lord Zhongkuda, why didn't you go in to fight?

Zhong Kuda smiled happily: "No need, what should I say? Just a thief, why do we need all the good hands in the village to enter? Wouldn't that give him face?"

"Since this person chooses to dig a hole and secretly approach the secret treasure of the white coffin in our village, then he naturally has no skills, in fact, Bokuda can clean him up by going in by himself, and the Heavenly Master is going to help him sweep the formation, they are nine out of ten, and they will definitely be able to catch this thief. ”

Xie Toad smiled and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, it seems that Lord Zhongkuda is very confident in Lord Bokuda's skills. ”

Zhong Kuda said proudly: "Bokuda has already demonstrated the double sword technique just now, and his cultivation is very powerful, isn't it?"

Wang Qilin nodded and said, "He is indeed a good hand at making knives." ”

He and Xie Toad looked at each other and left the entrance of the cave, and led everyone into the Taoist temple to visit.

The main hall of the Taoist temple is still there, and the ancestors of the Sanqing Daoist are sitting in the main hall, with a compassionate face and a smile on their faces.

Xie Toad walked over and saluted the head of the Sanqing Dao Ancestor, and muttered: "Immeasurable Salvation Taiyi Tianzun, Dao Ancestor, the disciple should have made a mistake." ”

"If you make a mistake, you can change it, and the Buddha said that there are two athletes in the world, one of whom does not commit a crime, and the other can repent of doing it. Shen Yi said with a grin, "This is what my master taught me, he said that the spray monk also made mistakes, but the spray monk changed very well, as the so-called everything can not be taken away, only karma with you, making mistakes is ordinary, correcting mistakes is extraordinary, Amitabha!"

Xie Toad sighed and said: "I don't kill Boren, Boren died because of me, the old Tao has karma." ”

Shen Yi touched his bald head and said, "What if you have karma? Abide by your wisdom and become a demon obstacle." Karma has good, evil, and non-memory, and there is contamination and purity, and among the ten Dharma realms, six realms are dyed, and the four holy Dharma realms are pure. There are good and evil in dyeing karma, and the level of good and evil is not high, good karma gives birth to three good paths, and bad karma gives rise to three evil paths. ”

"Amitabha, my master once said that the so-called karma actually comes from an ignorant mind, which cannot be seen when encountering things, and the wisdom of the mind is dusty and the ignorant mind has karma. ”

"If you can see everything, then karma doesn't exist, it's like a dream bubble, it's ignorance, and if you look at things openly, karma will naturally disappear, and the situation will arise from the mind, and the situation will change with your heart. ”

Wang Qilin thought that Xie Toad would start a Buddhist debate with him, but it didn't.

For the first time, the old Taoist priest listened to Shen Yi's sermon, but his face was indifferent, his eyes were lowered, and he was listening attentively.

Shen Yi is no longer crazy.

He held the wand in one hand and the other on his chest and talked eloquently, his face was full of compassion, at this moment he seemed to be crossing the fate of the monk.

Wang Qilin accidentally raised his head and saw that the originally smiling Sanqing Dao Ancestor also showed compassion on his face.

He quickly rubbed his eyes, but found that everything was the same as he had seen at first, and it seemed to be an illusion just now.

There was a thumping sound in the hall, and he didn't need to look for it to know what it was:

Yameth began to kneel again!

There were cheers outside the door, Wang Qilin led people out, and Bokuda carried a head with a knife to show the guards in the three-pointed village.

The two sides looked at each other, and Bokuda threw his head to Zhong Kuda and saluted them: "Thank you for coming thousands of miles to our mountain to inform me of such important news, if it weren't for the help of the adults, the secret realm of our clan would have been destroyed, so that our whole clan would really not be able to atone for their sins!"

Wang Qilin said with a smile: "Lord Bokuda is polite, this is what we should do to listen to the heavenly prison, you Daheitong has always been friendly with the imperial court, and the imperial court will naturally not forget you." ”

Bokuda kowtowed respectfully to the north: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

He smiled after getting up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, lift up our great benefactor in the village and return to the village to celebrate!"

Everyone cheered, but their number was just equal to Wang Qilin's side, and they couldn't lift all the people up, so they chose to lift the leaders respectively, Wang Qilin, Xu Da and Xie Toad.

Wang Qilin didn't refuse, anyway, he was tired of walking, so it was just right to sit on his shoulder and rest, and he could still see the mountains at a glance.

Xu Da pulled him before going up, and smiled with a smile: "Seventh Master, protect the vital points, be careful of being blown up by scorpions." ”

Wang Qilin said lazily: "You just need to protect yourself, yours is weaker." ”

Xu Da said proudly: "Uncle's body is weak, but Uncle has golden jade clothes, which can wrap Uncle's buttocks." ”

The men in the mountains carried the three of them up with a shout, and walked down singing mountain songs:

"Ouch! Lang is in the high mountains to gather millet seedlings, my sister is burning the fire at home, the grinder pushes, the basket is sifted and shaken, the cold water is adjusted, the lard is packed, the fire in the pot, the stove is burned, the foot on the threshold is crossed on the waist, the mouth is shouting, the hand is beckoning, calling my mistress to come back and eat the fire ......"

Walking all the way to the mountain song, the tune is delicate and rough, dozens of men sing together, not to mention whether it is pleasant, anyway, there is no flavor.

However, except for the first song, which is sung in the official dialect, the rest are all sung in the local dialect.

There is a road from the Taoist temple to the village, it is a rugged and difficult mountain road, and this mountain road is particularly hidden, the mountain is rainy in spring and summer, and as soon as the rain falls, the wild grass will rise wildly, so they have to lift the grass to find the way.

Seeing this, Wang Qilin understood why the daily necessities in the mountains were expensive, the mountain road was too difficult to walk, and if the caravan outside suddenly broke in, he couldn't find this mountain road at all, so he could only grope and wade out of a road by himself.

And the difficulty of making the first trip to a new road in the mountains is not much different from the difficulty of building a road, which requires manpower and human life!

In the mountains and forests, a large village appeared at the foot of the mountain.

There is a lake in front of the mountain, on which several boats are moored, the water is blue and tranquil, and the sun shines on it, and it is extremely beautiful.

The houses in the three-pointed village are also stilted buildings, all of which are arranged on the hillside, and they are scattered.

The surrounding area is full of trees, and the sun is already blazing at this time, and the weather is starting to get hot, so it is a good time to sit under the trees and cool off at noon.

With the mountains and the sun shining in the background, this is a great place to enjoy life.

However, the stilted building of the three-pointed village is different from what Wang Qilin has seen before, the second floor is the same upward, for people to live, the windows are open on all sides, there are balconies outside the windows, and there are flowers and plants on the balconies.

The difference is that below, the downstairs of the stilted building is nailed up with wooden boards, and the outside of the wooden boards is pasted with mud, which is a bit strange.

Wang Qilin and the others watched curiously, and the Heavenly Master smiled and said: "Your Excellency, this is our unique building style in Daheidong, because every household wants to raise poisons, and poisons like yin and fear of light, like moisture and fear of dryness, so they must be closed and go down from the upper floor to gout." ”

Everyone was stunned, and Xu Da sighed: "It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and the Qinglong King Cheng will not deceive me." ”

Wang Qilin thought that they would be invited into the cottage, but they were placed in the open space at the foot of the mountain.

The clearing was flat and hard with stones, and it should have just been covered with a layer of plant ash, and there was still heat at this time, and it was hot to step on.

The Heavenly Master explained with a smile: "This is the custom of our three-pointed village, or because of the poisons and poisonous insects we raise, they like to be wet, so our village is wet, and our people are also wet, and outsiders can't stand this." ”

"Later, in order to show goodwill to outsiders, we changed it to every time someone from outside the mountain came, we would roast the mountain field and entertain distinguished guests in the mountain field. ”

This huge flat land is called the mountain field, tables and chairs are placed on it, and there are stone tables and stone benches around it, which should be the place for the people in the village to relax and entertain on weekdays.

At this time, an old man with snow-white hair but a burly body stood at the entrance of the village with three or four hundred men, and when he saw them coming, the old man came to meet him, followed by two handsome young men, one young man holding a wine jar, and one young man holding a stack of pottery bowls.

The Heavenly Master introduced them and said that the old man was the great elder of their three-pointed village, that is, the owner of the village.

The Great Elder greeted them with a mountain song in dialect, but Wang Qilin couldn't understand it, but felt that the tone was very warm and unrestrained.

A young man pours wine with a bowl, and the great elder walks up to Wang Qilin with a wine bowl......

In the eyes of the Han people in the Central Plains, this behavior is the rhythm of provoking trouble and preparing to fight, but following the customs of the locals is obviously the hospitality of the people's Daheidong.

A bowl of wine was poured in front of everyone, and then the Great Elder stepped back in front of them and laughed:

"Welcome, welcome to the parents and officials of the Heavenly Prison to come to my Dahei Mountain Sanjian Village, the poisonous lady is on top, I really feel honored, you have worked hard all the way, please sit down quickly. ”

Wang Qilin was stunned and asked, "The Great Elder is really polite, but are we sitting here?"

The Great Elder smiled and said, "Yes, my lord, this is the mountain field of our village. Now it is the late spring season, the village is already damp, and there are many poisonous substances to multiply, so the village is not a place to entertain guests, and has always been to treat guests in the mountains. ”

Wang Qilin nodded and led everyone to sit down.

A team of young men arrived with plates and banana leaves, including fruits, dried fruits, pine nuts, etc., all of which were uncommon in the Central Plains.

Plantains, loquats, and large oranges with thick and crumpled skins are an eye-opener for black beans.

The village is very enthusiastic, and a team of sturdy guys come up to perform a welcome dance with real guns and knives.

The mountains are still martial, so their welcome dance is accompanied by the sound of shouting and killing, and their skillful martial arts are also remarkable in Wang Qilin's opinion.

The Great Elder raised his glass to toast them, and after meeting him, he drank three bowls in a row, and when he put down the bowl, he laughed heroically:

"My lord has traveled thousands of miles for my village, and I have traveled from Chang'an City, I am really grateful, and I can't repay it, I can only give my lord a promise, and in the future, I will listen to the heavenly prison where I need to be in the village!"

Wang Qilin said: "The Great Elder is really polite, the duty of listening to the Heavenly Prison is to drive away ghosts and evil spirits and protect the people, all of which should be done by officials such as me." ”

The inside and outside of the village were full of joy, and many men shouted to slaughter chickens and pigs, geese and sheep.

There are also men who go into the lake by boat and cast their nets, and the big nets are cast, and every time they pull up, there are many fat fish struggling in them.

A joyful and joyful scene.

After drinking three bowls of wine, the Great Elder sat beside him and introduced Wang Qilin to the information of their Sanjian Village and Dahei Mountain.

After the murderous and fiery welcome dance, the stick boys stepped back.

Xu Da stood up and waited.

Zhong Kuda asked, "What is Lord Xu looking at?"

Xu Da asked embarrassedly, "Is there any dancing anymore?" Uncle look at the girl dancing behind......

"Don't get me wrong," he quickly waved his hand again, "Uncle doesn't mean anything else, it's just that I heard that your girl from Daheidong can sing and dance, so I want to see it." ”

Zhong Kuda was stunned and said: "Lord Xu, it is the girl of Jiuli Mountain who can sing and dance, and our Dahei Mountain is a manly war dance, and there are other dances in the back, but they are all danced by the young men." ”

Xu Da was disappointed and muttered, "What's so nice about the young man dancing?"

Swallowing and looking at the backs of the boys leaving, he said casually: "What's the meaning of dancing? ”

The group looked at him in shock.

He was stunned for a moment and explained, "Powerful, intense, good-looking, you know what I mean, right?"

Xu Daxiang waved his hand from side to side and said: "Understand, we all understand, in fact, before men meet their beloved men, they all think that they like women, which is normal." ”

Swallowed his mouth and shouted: "Xu Ye, don't talk nonsense, you slander others!"

"People?" the white ape moved his chair, "disgusting!"

Eight Meow jumped on his table and bowed his head: "Gross!"

The smoke of the cooking stove flew in the wind, and the fire began to cook in the village.

There is a very tempting smell of meat coming out.

Wang Qilin subconsciously looked at the village, and the great elder said, "My lord, you have rested for a while, or the old man will lead the way and lead you to our village to have a look?"

They lined up to enter the stockade, and there were many bandits and bandits in the mountains, so the stockade looked like a castle:

At the bottom is a thick wall made of stones, and on both sides of the gate are boulders several people high, on which many characters are densely written in a script different from Chinese characters.

Xie Toad asked curiously, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, what is this written?"

The Great Elder smiled and said, "This is Sanskrit, there was once a Tianzhu ascetic monk who traveled here and inhaled miasma and fell ill, and the Heavenly Master spent a lot of effort to cure him, and he thanked us and carved a piece of Buddhist scripture with his fingers, which has been many years. ”

Saying that, he sighed: "At that time, I was still a little doll who had just remembered, and time was so fast." ”

The handwriting on the boulder is indeed blurred, and there are traces of swords and axes slashing and burning on it, which describe the bloody battles that the stockade once encountered.

"Use your fingers as a chisel to carve words on this kind of stone?" Xie Toad's face was shocked, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, this is a golden-bodied Arhat." ”

Wang Qilin mobilized Zhenyuan to poke at the stone with his fingers, but the stone powder that could be poked was scattered, but if he had to go deep into it and carve the handwriting, he couldn't do it.

There were some young and strong women cooking in the village, and when they saw them coming, they fled back to the house with their sleeves covering their faces.

The other rooms were also closed, and only occasionally a woman's figure could be seen through the cracks.

Bokuda said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my lords, there are many rules in our mountains, and women can't show their heads in front of strange men. ”

"I beg your understanding," explained Chungkuta, "there are so many thieves in the mountains, and they like to take women and children captively, so we can't show up when we have a guest." ”

Bokuda nodded heavily: "Yes, especially children, those thieves will use secret magic and poison to turn children into fools, one by one only obey the command to kill people and set fires, and become their slaves, very hateful!"

When Wang Qilin heard this, he was furious and said, "There are still such people in the mountains, so why don't you unite with the imperial court to exterminate them?"

Bokuda smiled bitterly: "How easy is it? This mountain is very big, and there are at most one or two hundred thieves, how can we find them when they are scattered and hidden in the mountains?"

Hearing him say this, and then seeing the appearance of the village as if it was facing a great enemy and every household was closed, Wang Qilin lost interest in visiting the village, so he returned to the mountain field.

The wine in the village is sweet rice wine, which is sweet and delicious.

When the Great Elder saw that they liked it, he arranged for a large vat to be brought up, and when the lid was opened, it was full of cloudy white sweet rice wine with a slight yellow tinge.

"If you like to drink, then I would like to recommend you to try the monkey wine in our village, which is made from fruit and rice, and has a very unique taste. ”

Xie Toad said with interest: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Lao Dao has heard of monkey wine, but he hasn't drunk it yet. It is said that this wine was made by a monkey who picked the fruit and hid it in a tree hole, and after a long time he forgot it, and the tree hole sealed the fruit and fermented it?"

The white ape man laughed, what did he want to say, Wang Qilin gave Xu Da a look.

Xu Da grabbed him and shouted, "Lao Bai, let's go one by one, come, have a glass of wine!"

The old master smiled: "Yes, the monkey wine is brewed in this way, but it is not that the monkeys forget that the fruit is made by accident, don't underestimate the monkeys in the mountains, the so-called monkey essence monkey essence, this monkey is easy to become a sperm, and the monkey wine is deliberately brewed by them." ”

"And they make recipes, and some monkeys found out that stealing fresh rice and putting it in a tree hole can make better wine, so when it was time to harvest rice, they would come down and steal our rice to make wine. ”

"But after the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch, you will let them steal the rice, and then steal the wine they make?" Xie Toad replied with a smile.

The Heavenly Master clapped his hands and said, "Haha, what the Dao Master said is very true, that's exactly the case!"

Wang Qilin said with interest: "Is there such a new thing in the mountains? ”

The Celestial Master beckoned to Zhong Kuda and said, "Apu, you personally bring someone to bring our monkey wine and take the last jar of last year." ”

Next to him, Bokuda explained: "Monkey wine is not as good as your old wine, it is not the older it is, the better it tastes, but it will be sour when it is aged, and it is the best to drink back then." ”

"So every year we harvest monkey wine, we start with a harvest celebration on this mountain field - because when we harvest monkey wine, we have just finished harvesting grain. ”

"The elders of the harvest celebration drink the monkey wine of the season, and the other monkey wine should be sealed and kept, and then drink some when the mother celebrates, and the rest will be used to entertain distinguished guests like you. ”

They introduced monkey wine, and at this time dishes began to be served.

It's past noon, and it's time for dinner.

The food in the mountains is very distinctive, with fish wrapped in fresh weeds to grill, roast chicken marinated in various mountain spices, large pieces of stewed meat, and of course, bamboo rice is indispensable.

Zhong Kuda arrived with two small barrels of wine on a flat shoulder, and when the small barrels were opened, the wine inside was blue and red, and a fresh sweet and sour fragrance came out.

Wang Qilin leaned in and sniffed it, and exclaimed, "Good wine." ”

Xie Toad also took a deep breath, first closed his eyes intoxicated and nodded, and then his face was full of regret: "It's really good wine, but it's a pity that you can't drink it." ”

Hearing this, the Heavenly Master and the Great Elder all looked stunned: "What do you mean?"

Xie Toad smiled bitterly and shook his head at the wine jar.

Wang Qilin said with a smile: "What do you mean? It is a literal meaning, we dare not drink this wine, it has a problem." ”

Bokuda frowned and asked tentatively, "My lord, are you dirty or?"

Wang Qilin said: "I think it's poisonous!"

The side of the stockade changed color: "Why did your lord say this?"

Wang Qilin stood up and pointed to the big stone on the side of the walled gate, pointed to the words on it and read: "The body is full of snake venom, and the herbs can eliminate it." When anger arises in the heart, the bhikshu must be subdued. They give up on each other's shores like serpents shedding their old skins. In the pool, there are lotus flowers, and the children and others dive into the fold. Bhikshus must renounce and love is exhausted. Sharing their shores together is like a serpent shedding its old skin......

"The Bhikshu Snake Sutra!"

"If the official's eyes are not blind and his head is not broken, then this village does not belong to your three-pointed village, but belongs to a snake clan!"

"This snake clan has been cut down by you, hasn't it?"
