In the afternoon, the river was calm, and the boats were shining with black canopies, all of which were slow, as if they were tired from the sun.

On a small boat going up the river, the old man who held the boat wore a hat, resisting the hot sun, and his dark skin showed the traces of the years against the wind and waves, and he smiled and shook the oars at the stern.

Feng Shuzhu and Chu Qing sat in the canopy, with a small wine table in front of them, with a few plates of side dishes on it, and a pot of wine outside, but the little fat bear bag was lying on the side, panting a little tiredly, mostly because of the strong wind and waves in the past half a day, it swayed and became seasick, and at this time, it was not interested in smelling the wine and food.

Feng Shuzhu took the wine glass and put it on the end of his nose, smelling the wine while looking at the river.

At this time, the surface of the river gradually narrowed, and then, a huge rock protruded in front of it, covering a third of the river's surface, and this huge rock resembled a male lion, with a huge mouth and fangs and a mane.

Feng Shuzhu looked at the river with a distraction, and the situation of the encounter with Shui Lingyue here that day is still vivid.

But he heard Chu Qing beside him exclaim: "Lion, big brother Feng, is that a lion? ”

Feng Shuzhu came back to his senses, nodded and said: "It's called Lion Rock, and it's a necessary place to go to Fangwai Mountain." ”

Chu Qing lay in the canopy, leaned out half of his body and went out, watched intently, and said happily: "Is this lion rock carved by a skilled craftsman? How long will it take to carve this?" ”

Feng Shuzhu smiled and said: "That's natural, it is estimated that it has been more than thousands of years. ”

Chu Qing pulled down the little fat bear bag beside him and said, "Bag bag, look, it's such a big lion." ”

The little chubby bear bag raised his eyes listlessly, looked at it, curled up again, and continued to squint, as if the seasickness had not passed, and his body was still uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Chu Qing no longer paid attention to it, but continued to watch it by herself, until she saw the stern from the bow of the boat, when the boat passed by the lion, she actually jumped out of the canopy, stretched out her arms, and stretched out her hand to touch it, and finally the boat floated quickly in the turbulent water before returning.

"Is there a person living on the Lion Rock?" Chu Qing was still unsatisfied, still looking behind the boat.

Feng Shuzhu shook his head with a smile and said, "For thousands of years, people have just made it a signpost, and no one has thought of living on it. ”

"Could there be any magical magic weapon in there?" Chu Qing was whimsical again.

Feng Shuzhu laughed and said, "If there really is, I'm afraid it was poached thousands of years ago." ”

Chu Qing thought about it, sighed, as if a little disappointed, and said, "Could it be that you didn't meet someone who was destined, so you didn't find out?"

Feng Shuzhu shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm waiting for Qing'er." ”

When Chu Qing heard this, he looked at the "finger wrapper" on his wrist and said, "Perhaps, there is really a treasure waiting for me there." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but get excited, and then said: "Brother Feng, why don't we live in that Lion Rock tonight!"

Feng Shuzhu took a sip of wine and said, "You said it, it is the treasure of the destined person that will appear, so how can you be in a hurry, wait until we go to the Kongjue Temple to finish our work and come back." ”

When Chu Qing heard this, although he felt a little regretful, he finally had an expectation, so he stopped talking, but turned his head to continue to look at the Lion Rock, but saw that the blue waves on the river were misty and roundabout, and the Lion Rock had long disappeared from sight.

Feng Shuzhu saw that Chu Qing was so childish and ridiculous, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Qing'er, I remember that you said before that you wanted to grow up, I think you are still suitable for being a child." ”

When Chu Qing heard Feng Shuzhu say this, she turned around and thought for a while, "My lord, don't you have curiosity?"

Feng Shuzhu smiled and said, "Adults also have curiosity, but they are not as important as you." ”

The corners of Chu Qing's mouth curled, and he smiled: "Then I'm going to be a curious adult." ”

Feng Shuzhu picked up the wine glass and said, "Come, for curious adults, have a drink." ”

After speaking, the two raised their glasses and invited each other, and laughed happily, and the laughter floated out from the canopy, and the laughter floated across the mighty soup river, echoing to the green mountains on both sides......

"Two guest officers, it's time to dock, Fangwaishan Wharf has arrived!" Hearing the call of the old man of the boat, Feng Shuzhu and Chu Qing raised their eyes and looked out.

At this time, it is already the sunset on the mountain, the twilight is clear and beautiful, a shallow water pier is in front of the eyes, there are several small boats docked around, people still come and go on the trestle bridge, it is very lively, most of them should be the believers and pilgrims who worship the Buddha from the empty temple and go down the mountain.

Although Chu Qing said that it was the second time he came to Fangwai Mountain, after all, he flew with Xiao Jiu last time, and he left in a hurry, even the town below the mountain had no time to take a look. Therefore, this time again, I still couldn't help but be excited, so I put the little fat bear bag into the cloth bag, and before the boat stopped, a jumper jumped ashore, but it made the old man of the boat family surprised by it, and thought: "It's really unseemly, this girl looks like she is nothing more than ten years old, and she didn't think she was a martial arts master." ”

Feng Shuzhu packed up the package in the back, and he had to pay two silver taels to the old man of the boat.

Unexpectedly, the old man smiled honestly and said: "The boy's boat money will be exempted, the last time the old man asked the son to send a sachet to the Kongjue Temple for worship, and he has not thanked him." ”

When Feng Shuzhu heard this, he said with a smile: "Uncle and accept the silver taels, it is really not easy to travel back and forth between the rivers and lakes, not to mention the work of sending sachets, and it is not a heavy object." After speaking, he shoved the silver two into the old man's hand and jumped off the boat.

The old man who was left behind him with an admiring face nodded, tucked the silver two to his waist, and was busy throwing the cable, jumping to the shore, and tying up the boat.

Feng Shuzhu and Chu Qing came to the town along the riverside, just because they had been sleeping in the wilderness cave for several days, Chu Qing was full of infinite yearning for the town early, in his mind, there should be an artist who sells candy, there are also merchants who walk the streets and alleys to shout, and there are teahouses and taverns that tell stories and sing operas......

However, when they stood on the street, they found that nine out of ten shops were selling Buddha statues, tributes, incense candles, prayer flags, and some of the rest were fortune tellers by lot.

In addition to being disappointed, Chu Qing couldn't help but be a little angry, and said to Feng Shuzhu: "Brother Feng, these shops are all opened by Kongjue Temple, right?"

Feng Shuzhu was stunned when he heard this, and said, "How did Qing'er come up with such strange thoughts?"

Chu Qing pouted and said, "Why don't they all sell these Buddhist household items?"

Feng Shuzhu smiled and said: "Qing'er, do you know that the pilgrims and believers who come here to burn incense and worship the Buddha and pray for blessings are all from afar, and it is impossible to bring incense and candles as soon as they leave the house. ”

Chu Qing thought about it, and seemed to have some truth, but she was still sullen.

Feng Shuzhu saw it in his eyes, this girl was so angry, it was clear that there was only a lack of novelties in the town, and there was a lack of a good place to play, so he said: "Qing'er, let's find an inn to live in first, Brother Feng will go up the mountain tomorrow morning, you will wait for half a day, and when Brother Feng comes back, we will set off to Lion Rock." ”

When Chu Qing heard Lion Rock, her mood improved a little, and she blinked a pair of watery eyes and said, "Then, let's go find an inn." ”

The two walked all the way along the market, during which they were stopped many times, peddling all kinds of ritual supplies, in order to attract customers, the store can also be said to use all their hearts, the words to attract customers are classic and rhyme, all the way to listen to the shouting, it is also a unique flavor, the two walked to the end of the town, only to see a few more decent inns, choose one of them more spacious, and ask for two upper rooms.

Chu Qing, who had just escaped from the noise, thought that entering the room was another world, rested quietly for a while, and then asked for a bucket of hot water, took a comfortable bath, and washed away the dust of the past few days, but was stunned the moment he walked into the room.

I saw that the main seat of the room enshrined a big "Buddha" calligraphy and painting, set up an incense case in front, placed all kinds of fruit tributes on it, the candles on both sides were burning, the fragrance in the seal was lingering, a few futons of meditation were also placed on the ground, and the curtain on one side was lifted when I went in, only to see the bamboo collapse of sleeping and resting, it was very simple, and the curtain and futon were completely gone.

Chu Qing was about to have a seizure, but saw Feng Shuzhu walk in with a smile on his face, and said, "Qing'er, do you still like the room?"

When Chu Qing heard this, he sneered: "I said Brother Feng, what kind of Kongjue Temple do you go to, I think this Buddha Hall is very good." ”

Feng Shuzhu smiled and said: "Brother Feng knows that you are unwilling, afraid that you will make trouble, so he hurried over, Qing'er, do you understand, we are guests, people are the masters, and the guests are the hosts." As he spoke, he pointed to the Buddha word of the big bucket.

Chu Qing frowned, and said in a low voice, "...... guest with the host?"

Feng Shuzhu nodded and said, "Come to think of it carefully, we came uninvited, do you remember when you were at Granny Duan's house, you knelt down to worship the word 'years'? ”

Chu Qing pondered for a moment, as if he understood, but he was still a little reluctant to say: "Then, let's make do with it for one night, tomorrow, you must leave, I want to go to Lion Rock!"

Feng Shuzhu nodded and said, "Okay, it's a word, I ordered some food in my room, why don't Qing'er come over and eat some together." ”

Chu Qing and the little fat bear bag came to the next room with Feng Shuzhu, and saw that the two rooms were really like a copy, which could be described as exactly the same, and they were just about to move the chopsticks, but they saw Feng Shuzhu get up and walked to the incense table, filled some ghee, folded his hands and bowed, and then turned around and sat back at the table.

When Chu Qing saw his appearance, he didn't feel funny, and said, "Brother Feng, are you going to be a monk?"

Feng Shuzhu smiled and said, "Learn to be you, it's okay to worship in other people's dojos." ”

When Chu Qing heard this, she didn't say anything anymore, but was a little chubby bear bag on the side, rolled her eyes, and crawled over, squatting on the futon, her front paws closed, learning to be like a wind and bamboo, and bowed.

Chu Qing smiled unconsciously: "Seeing yourself, the appearance of worshipping the Buddha is quite similar to you." ”

Feng Shuzhu took a deep breath and said, "This isn't a good thing." ”
