In the Han River, May is already the rainy season, but at this time, the sky is clear and the wind is calm.

A middle-aged man in cloth, this man is a village head. He held a piece of paper and thought:

"A total of 240 villagers from three nearby villages participated in this competition, and the rules of the race are that the terminal stop is the ferry port of Luohan Town in front, and those who arrive at the boat first will have rewards for everyone on the first three boats, but the rewards are different!"

Then he paused for a while and continued:

"The first place will reward all the villagers in the boat with a piece of silk and satin, and allow the families of the villagers in the boat to fish in the river without paying taxes for one month! The second place will reward all the villagers and their families in the boat for fishing in the river without paying taxes for one month! The third place will naturally reward all the villagers in the boat with a piece of silk. ”

After talking about the reward, the village chief said again:

"The rewards of this competition are sponsored by the new county magistrate Liu and Jia Yuanwai, although the county magistrate was not present due to official business, but also very concerned about the competition, and the county magistrate also hopes that through this competition, the villagers of these villages can unite and live in peace, thank you for your support and cooperation. ”

At this time, the women and children watching from the shore began to celebrate and dance, and many people talked in private.

I only heard a thin old man whisper to a middle-aged man next to him:

"When did this Jia Yuanwai become so generous and start to benefit the villagers?"

The middle-aged man also replied softly:

"Jia Yuanwai is a well-known miser in our neighborhood who deceives good and fears evil, and is a stingy person, maybe the new county magistrate forced him to do this."

In the middle of the river, the villagers who had already prepared were ready to go one by one in the dragon boats like soldiers in array, as if they were just waiting for an order to rush to the front battlefield to take down the heads of the enemy.

At this time, more than a dozen bare-headed monks with yellow complexions appeared on the riverside, each of whom was carrying a burden and holding a bamboo pole about three feet long in his hand.

Among them, an old monk with a big mole on the tip of his nose walked to the shore and sat upright, holding a wine glass in his hand, drinking wine in front of Zhang Hamu, a group of brocade guards behind Zhang Hamu seemed to see the unkind people who were about to draw their swords and be vigilant.

Zhang Hamu beckoned, and they withdrew their swords.

The monk with the mole on the tip of his nose opened his mouth and said:

"General Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time, and now we meet again, I don't know where the general is looking for flowers."

Zhang Hamu's previous smiling face changed color from the sight of the monk with a mole on the tip of his nose, and he immediately returned:

"Master Hengshan Yingji, but he passed through here to go to Wudang to participate in the ceremony, why didn't the master take the ferry and come here?"

The monk with the tip of the nose mole smiled and folded his hands:

"The poor monk passed by here, and heard that General Zhang Da was also resting here, so he came to visit, and the general was well, and the poor monk continued to travel west."

When the words landed, the monk led the monks to the dragon boat by the river.

It turned out that this monk with a mole on the tip of his nose was the senior brother of Master Guozhen, the head of Hengshan. As a result, the master's martial arts are strong, especially the light skills are the best in Hunan Chu, and when he walks, he disappears in an instant like a flying eagle in the sky, so some people call him "Eagle Disease and Master".

Originally, the previous head of Hengshan had planned to pass on the position of the Eagle Disease Master and let him practice well in Hengshan, but the Eagle Disease Master did not like to recite the scriptures and practice, but he always liked to go down the mountain to do chivalrous righteousness everywhere, and he couldn't listen to persuasion, and the previous head had no choice but to pass on the throne, and now the real master with average qualifications and mediocre martial arts took over.

Master Eagle Disease once went to Yangzhou, rushed in the middle of the night, and happened to encounter the cry of a woman on the road calling for help, so he chased over, and found in the grass that the general with a birthmark on his face pressed on a woman, and the woman was shouting Don't, don't...... The birthmark general pressed the woman with one hand, undressed the woman with the other, and there were two guards guarding with their backs to the side.

The master of the eagle disease went up and knocked out the two guards with two feet and a punch, and the birthmark general reacted and was about to pick up the knife to shoot, but unfortunately the eagle disease master was too fast, and he had already stepped on his chest when the birthmark general did not react, and the birthmark general could only beg for mercy at this time, and when the eagle disease monk let go of his feet, the birthmark general wanted to fight back, but he was defeated by the eagle disease monk in less than 2 moves, and he could only flee away like a lost dog.

The birthmark general was Zhang Hamu, so when I saw the monk Eagle Disease just now, he wanted the guards to take revenge, but he thought that the other party's martial arts were too high, and he couldn't make too much noise when he came out to do things this time, so he didn't let the guards do it.

"The poor monk is in a hurry, if you delay the donor competition, I hope you will forgive me",

After the Eagle Disease Master finished:

Then he lined up a long line with the little monk behind him, and then, the master of Eagle Disease threw the bamboo pole in his hand to the river, the bamboo pole lay horizontally on the river, Master Eagle Disease stood on the first bamboo pole, and then the monk handed another bamboo pole, Master Eagle Disease took the bamboo pole and threw it into the river with the first bamboo pole, and the Master of Eagle Disease also walked into the two bamboo poles, and the little monk began to walk into the first bamboo pole, so that the homeopathic back and forth, each bamboo pole was next to the other at both ends.

Just when the bamboo pole was put on the fifth one, it approached the boat of Du Bu and them, and Master Eagle Rapid jumped on the dragon boat, and then said in the direction of the king in the boat:

"I borrowed the boat of the donors to slow down and disturb the donors. ”

Then flashed and whispered to him in his ear:

"There are dots on the road, and the Yuezhou Restaurant in Xiangyang City is waiting for the deceased. ”

As soon as Master Yingji's words fell, the person had jumped back on the bamboo pole and continued to throw the bamboo across the river.

To throw all the bamboo poles, has entered the center of the river, at this time each bamboo pole is standing a small monk, a group of small monks step on the bamboo poles, the cloth shoes in the feet are not wet at all, standing very steady.

Then the eagle monk jumped up and pointed his feet towards the sky, picked up the bamboo pole under his feet with his right hand, propped it vertically into the heart of the river, and pulled the bamboo pole that the little monk stepped on behind him with his left hand, and said:

The disciples stood firm. ”

After speaking, he held the bamboo pole at the foot of the little monk, and directly came to a straight line rotation, from the river bank just to the other bank, so that the eagle monk took a group of little monks to step directly on the bamboo pole on the opposite bank, and after cleaning up the bamboo pole, he slowly left the field of vision of the crowd.

At this time, the onlookers on the shore and the people in the state were stunned, and they also talked about each other.

When the monk was gone, Du Yi was relieved in the dragon boat, and saw that Zhu Sanmei on the side was still opening her mouth wide, and her eyes were wide open and she was intoxicated in the picture just now. Zhu Er was quite calm, as if he was thinking about something. Then he didn't forget to turn his head to the Taoist chief and ask what the Eagle Disease Monk said just now.

The Taoist chief replied to the three of them:

"That monk and I have also had a few face-to-face friends, the meaning of his words just now told us that the road ahead is no longer dangerous, he will wait for us to arrive at the Yuezhou Restaurant in Xiangyang, he just used the bamboo pole to take the disciple across the river This skill and wisdom are really few people in the world can match. ”

Then he told the three of them about the experience and past of the Eagle Disease Monk. Not forgetting the envy and admiration on his face with Zhu Sanmei, Zhu Er still held the oar in one hand without too much expression.
