"That's it!"

Wu Ren grabbed a few pieces of beef with his hands and stuffed them into his mouth, stretched his neck and glared, quickly grabbed the wine jug and poured a few mouthfuls, and burped. "But I starved Lao Tzu to death, and for three days, I sneaked on the way back and deducted a sweet potato in the field to eat." ”

After saying that, he ate it violently again.

"Bucktooth, side eyes, are they back" The thin monkey asked as he took a sip of wine and looked down at the table

"Nope. Li, Zhao, Wang, the three of them didn't come back either. Wang Shi pretended to be very sad and said

The three of them drank more deeply before they went back to sleep.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, the was called to discuss in the righteous hall, and the two hugged each other's fists and saluted, and the sat on the chair at the bottom: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, exactly, people are strangers in a foreign land, and they miss their relatives every festival." I don't have any relatives in my hometown, and now I feel a little lonely when it comes to the holidays. I don't know if my brother feels this way. ”

The-stirring stick laughed and said: "Brother Xian is always Wen Zou Zou, but you and I are not young anymore, and we should also become a family." It's just that what they did to make a living, the ancients said: if the crockpot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die in battle. I also want to take a big ticket and collect the mountain. Find a place where no one knows him, become a rich man, and live a stable life. It's just that it's a poor and remote place, and there is no brigade of merchants. There are no merchants who are very rich, and where can they get a lot of gold and silver. It's a head!"

"In my opinion, if you want to be rich, you still have the county magistrate in Zhangzhou City, Liu Gaoyuan, who is used to oppressing good people, and is extremely greedy. As long as you make money, white can also turn black. Over the years, a lot of people's wealth must have been looted. If the two of us go and rob this dog official, it will also be for the sake of the local harm, and then we will fly away and live that secluded life. ”

"It's good, but it's good, but, as you and I look like, as soon as we enter the city gate, we are recognized by the soldiers, don't think about it. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, where to loot some things today, so that you can have a happy festival tomorrow. ”

"I haven't been to Mopan Mountain for a long time, so it's better to go to Mopan Mountain today. ”

The two of them have decided to point up more than a dozen minions and leave ten guards in the village. Then a path to the Mopan Mountain, to the Mopan Mountain pass, it was already dusk, everyone was tired of the bones and muscles, the stirring stick ordered the minions to rest at the pass, and then entered the village to loot, everyone was resting cool. At this time, I could hear the sound of gongs and drums in the mountain col below, and the sound of a woman babbling and singing. ”

The minions went to every house to knock on the door, and it was inevitable that they would spoil a few women and rob money, cattle and sheep. The two of them walked straight to the house of the rich man Wu from the path, and a three-foot-high stage was set up at the gate, and a girl on the stage wore red and green, gently moved the lotus step and twisted the thin waist, raised the red lips, the warbler and the swallow language, melodious and tactful, the people listening to the play in the audience were fascinated, and the-stirring stick and the stood next to him and listened for a long time without anyone noticing. The girl finished singing, and Shi Li retreated. The audience cheered. Get off the stage. jumped on two young men again, but it was a full martial arts, the two men turned somersaults as soon as they came up, front somersaults, back somersaults, and then picked up a knife to slash, used a few stick methods, stirred sticks, and kept tilting their heads to find the girl who was singing just now. also looked around. just looked at the house of the rich man Wu. At this time, the rich man Wu was sitting at the door with his three sons watching the play, and some villagers were surrounding the play. The-stirring stick looked a little impatient, and rushed to the stage with an arrow, drew a big ring knife and slashed at the heads of the two men on the stage, and the two men were not knowing what was going on, and shouted in their mouths: "What people! Such rude!" swept three ways under the-stirring stick, so that the man with the gun saw that his junior brother was attacking him, so he ran the gun to the door, only the tip of the gun trembled, and the mouth of the bowl was full of gun shadows. The-stirring stick jumped up, dodged the white-faced man's rod, and slashed Huashan to the top door of the man with the gun, shouting in his mouth: "Eat me with a knife!" The man who made the gun hurriedly caught it with a heavenly momentum, only to hear the sound of the bell, the big ring knife slashed on the muddy iron gun, sparks splashed everywhere, and a big iron gun was shocked out of his hand and flew away! The man with the gun cracked his hands and cracked his mouth, and the white-faced man who made the stick on the side swept the stick to the waist, and the-stirring stick turned his left hand back to catch it, and held it tightly, and the white-faced man pulled back but couldn't pull it away.

The-stirring stick put the knife on the head of the man who made the gun in his right hand, and held the rod of the white-faced man in his left hand, laughing: "It's all fists and legs, it's useless!" At this time, the rich man Wu in the audience saw the-stirring stick. Hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "I don't know that the king is coming to the cold house today, and he has missed the welcome, forgive the sins!"

"The king, spare your life, the little apprentice doesn't know the height of the sky, offended the tiger, and hopes that the king will spare the two of them!" The person who spoke was Zhou Dahai, the head of the troupe, who was in his fifties and a thin man, wearing a yellow satin gown. When the-stirring stick came to the stage, he was in the house, and then he heard a commotion outside, and when he came out to look, he saw that the-stirring stick had restrained the two apprentices, and when he asked the people around him, he knew that the person who came was the king of Lion Rock. The one who made the gun was his eldest apprentice, Liu Youfa, who was in his thirties and had a slender figure. It was the second apprentice Zhang Yue who made the rod, who was handsome and white-skinned. There is also a third apprentice, Jiang Zhengfu, who can't punch or kick, and the fourth apprentice is the girl who just got off the stage. I just turned 18 this year.

Seeing Zhou Dahai coming and kneeling in front of him, the-stirring stick begged for mercy for the two men on the stage and asked, "Who are you?"

Zhou Dahai hurriedly replied: "The villain is the master of the two of them, and he is also the head of this troupe.

The-stirring stick put away the knife and said to Zhou Dahai: "Since you are the class leader, I will tell you directly, who is the girl who sang on stage just now!"

Zhou Dahai saw that the-stirring stick asked like this, and said timidly: "It's my little apprentice, she's still young." ”

The-stirring stick laughed and said: "What is small, it has become a big girl, my cottage is just about to have a lady in the village, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, take advantage of this good day, and go to the church to get married." He laughed.

Zhou Dahai pleaded: "King, Cuilian is still young, she can't be your wife of the village, you can let her go." ”

The-stirring stick glanced back at Zhou Dahai and pointed and scolded: "You old dog, you dare to say more, I will split you in half with a knife! Go back to the cottage with me, sing happily for a few days, and celebrate!" After speaking, he ordered the minions to look at the girl Lin Cuilian, and the rich man of Wu hurriedly ordered the family to prepare fifty taels of silver, ten brocade horses, five hundred catties of grain, two cows, and ten sheep. said with a smile on his face: "Since the king wants to marry Mrs. Zhai, these are all Xiao Ke's little thoughts, congratulations to the king." ”

"You old boy, you're still interesting!" instructed all the minions, escorting the troupe with the plundered cattle, sheep, and grain. Sing all the way and go back. The walked in front, kept looking back at Lin Cuilian, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, at this time Lin Cuilian heard that the stirring stick was going to marry her as the wife of the village, she couldn't stop sobbing, and frequently wiped her tears, although her face was sad, but she looked more pretty and colorful, like pear blossoms with rain and hibiscus dripping dew. The who watched it couldn't help but itch, and he couldn't wait to step forward and take it into his arms.

The-stirring stick walked behind and saw it in his eyes, and he was a little annoyed in his heart. Everyone walked back to Dazhai, it was already early in the morning, it was people in good spirits on happy occasions, although the-stirring stick was not sleeping all night, there was no tiredness at all, and the kitchen was instructed to kill the cow and slaughter the sheep for a big feast, and the little minions hung up and down the village with bonuses, and the inside and outside were beaming, Lin Cuilian was locked in the bedroom of the-stirring stick, and she was going to worship the church to marry at noon, and the-stirring stick was going to be in the cave room with Lin Cuilian at night.

The-stirring stick also ordered people to set up a stage on the playground, so that the troupe would immediately take the stage to sing, and all the minions gathered under the stage to watch the play. For a while, the drums sounded in unison, and it was not hot. Wang Shi heard that the stirring stick was going to marry Mrs. Zhai, and walked to the door of the stirring stick's bedroom, wanting to come to see the bride, but saw that the door was closed, and there were two minions guarding the door.

Wang Shi turned around and passed by the door of the, and saw the sitting alone on the bed drinking, with an angry face on his face, Wang Shi walked in from the door: "Black leader, I heard that the king is going to visit the church at noon today, where is this girl from." ”

"It can be there, it's in the troupe, and it's forced to drink water according to the head of the cow. It's really an old cow eating tender grass!" the said angrily, taking another long sip of wine.

"So the girl doesn't want to say that at all, in fact, I think this girl is quite suitable for you. ”

The didn't speak, just drank.

"You like this girl. If you go and say to the-stirring stick, give this girl to you, you are embarrassed to say that I will help you say it. It makes me feel so uncomfortable to see you drinking like this. Wang Shi pretended to be annoyed.

The's eyes lit up: "Brother Zhang, you are really willing to help me speak." ”

"Once the word is spoken, the horse is difficult to chase. ”

"If you say it, I can marry Lin Cuilian, Brother Zhang, you are my reborn parents!" said and got up and clasped his fists to salute. Wang Shi hurriedly replied: "The black leader is serious, this-stirring stick is already more than fifty people, it is more than wrong to be a father to this girl, if he really lets him marry, it won't ruin this girl." Black boss, you are different, it is a beautiful woman with a hero. Talented and beautiful, a natural pair. You just wait for my good news, and I'll go and say!" Wang Shi said and went out.

After asking the two minions, they both said that the-stirring stick was arranging the wedding hall in the righteous hall and preparing for a while. Wang Shi came to the Juyi Hall, and just walked to the door, only to see that both sides were full of mountain flowers, and the walls were cut into happy characters with red paper and posted. A wedding couplet was posted on both sides of the door, and the couplet: Joy and joy in the Mid-Autumn Festival,

Downlink: Happy and happy to enter the cave room.

Horizontal batch: happy life

Wang Shi walked into the hall with a step, only to see that the-stirring stick was Zhang Luo, and ordered the little minions to do this and that, Wang Shi came in, he didn't pay attention, and said with a smile on his face: "The king is really interested today." ”

When the-stirring stick heard Wang Shi speak, he turned around and said, "Haha, it's Brother Zhang Xian, you don't cook in the kitchen, why are you running here." If I miss the wedding banquet, I'll have to settle accounts with you later, hahahaha!"

Wang Shi said: "The king forgive me, you are so old, that Lin Cuilian is only seventeen or eighteen years old, you are not suitable for him, and people are not willing, why do you want to do this thing of forcing the head of the bull not to drink water, I think the black leader is quite a match with him, it is better to marry Lin Cuilian to him, firstly, it seems that the king is noble, and secondly, the black boss is also grateful for your kindness, it is the gentleman who does not take the love of people." ”

After Wang Shi finished speaking, he looked up at the-stirring stick, his face was already angry, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The told you to say these words?"

"Although the black leader has this meaning, it's not easy to say, I want to say it myself, please don't blame the king!"

The-stirring stick shouted: "You don't know how to live or die, if it weren't for the face of the righteous people a few days ago, I would have slashed you with a knife, and I would dare to harm my good deeds, I will marry this Lin Cuilian, and I will beat you ten sticks today, if you come to talk nonsense, you will not be spared." Drag it off. ”

Wang Shi saw that the-stirring stick was really angry, and his heart was secretly happy, the little minion stepped forward and dragged Wang Shi out, and beat ten sticks on the side of the playground, everyone was upset for Wang Shi, and just about to walk back to the bedroom, he saw the coming over, Wang Shi hugged his fists and said: "I'm really sorry! I couldn't help you tell the story." ”

The said angrily: "This-stirring stick is simply a beast, and I don't blame you for this." I just heard from the little minions that you were beaten with ten strokes. Then he asked with concern, "Is the injury serious?"

"It's out of the way, it's not a small injury. Fortunately, the brothers did not take it seriously. ”

Wang Shi endured the pain and went to the kitchen, continued to look around, and saw that it was almost noon, and the meal was ready, so he asked a little minion to ask the stirring stick, whether to eat first or wait for them to finish worshipping before eating. The little minion came back and said that the meal would be opened as soon as the meal was ready, and that he would visit the church after eating. All the people were to go to the Hall of Righteousness to observe the ceremony.

Wang Shi asked the minions to bring the food to the kitchen, and the dog baby came to the kitchen to bring the food to the-stirring stick, and then went to deliver the food to Lin Cuilian. Just after eating, the-stirring stick asked the two minions to carry Lin Cuilian to the Juyi Hall, and the Juyi Hall began to beat gongs and drums and make noise. Wang Shi didn't have time to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, so he also went to watch, only to see Lin Cuilian crying all the time, refusing to worship the church, the stirring stick let the two minions put Lin Cuilian aside, forced to worship the church, the stood on the side and glared angrily, and the little minions next to him shouted: "Worship heaven and earth!" "The stirring stick just knelt down and bowed to the head, Lin Cuilian was held down by two minions and bowed down, Wang Shi jumped out of the crowd and shouted: "stirring stick, look at your old age, you are obviously the match of the black leader, you want to win people's love." ”

The who was standing on the side was also stunned, he didn't expect Wang Shi to dare to make a joke, the minions on both sides were stunned, I don't know what the stirring stick will become, Zhang Chengfu, only screaming bitterly, this troublemaker, this is not looking for death. Wang Shi is usually very popular in the cottage, and whoever has a headache and brain fever will just get some herbs for him to drink. They were all stunned by his roar.

The-stirring stick was very angry: "You kid, you must have not been beaten enough just now, you are tired of life, Lao Tzu has to split you." As he spoke, he ordered his minions to bring knives, because when he arranged the Xitang, he felt that it was unlucky to put knives and guns, so he put the saber in the martial arts hall, and everyone in the hall was not allowed to bring weapons. The little minion heard the-stirring stick shouting to bring a knife, so he ran out of the Juyi Hall and went to the martial arts hall to get a knife.

The-stirring stick only remembered that the knife was in the martial arts hall, and he couldn't wait, so he strode to pull Wang Shi, Wang Shi hurriedly retreated and flashed behind the, and the-stirring stick saw Wang Shi hiding behind the, and said angrily: "He was instructed by you, the, to eat my punch!" As he spoke, his right fist ran to the door of the and hit him, and the was also angry, and he was not scattered, since you were going to tease, he simply tore his face! The left palm went up to the Lao Jun tray, hit the wrist of the stirring stick, and dissolved the punch, the stirring stick closed the fist on a sea fishing moon, the right hand reached out to the crotch of the, the quickly turned around and made a move of poisonous snake spit letters, the stirring stick in front of the palms of the boy to worship the Buddha, and was about to hold the hand of the, the two of them moved and dodged in the Juyi Hall, fists and feet, each showing their skills, at this time Wang Shi stepped forward to pull Lin Cuilian aside and whispered: "Don't be afraid, I will save you out." He called the old head of the class and instructed Zhang Chengfu: "Take them to the kitchen and hide them in the pantry first, and wait for my news." ”

Here, the-stirring stick, the fist is heavy and strong, the is flexible, and after more than 50 rounds of fighting, both of them have sweat on their foreheads, and the strength of the-stirring stick punch is gradually declining, it is the fist that is afraid of being strong, and the is still moving and dodging, and the speed of the body has not decreased in the slightest.

Seeing that it was difficult to win, the-stirring stick suddenly retreated backwards, the fist style changed, the feet stepped on the yin and yang, the fists changed into palms, the body resembled a swimming dragon, a lazy cat washed his face, and the legs under his feet stepped up in a row, and the who hit couldn't resist and retreated straight, and forced the out of the Juyi Hall.

Then he also used all the way to fight the enemy, the two fought for more than a dozen rounds, the suddenly changed the fist style, and suddenly used the stunt of the eagle claw to divide the muscles and bones, grabbed the right wrist of the-stirring stick, and twisted it outward, to remove his arm, the-stirring stick could not break free for a while, shaking the power of the dantian, and the was stronger, the twisted outward, and did not dare to relax the slightest, and the-stirring stick did not dare to loosen the force, as long as the-stirring stick loosened, this arm had to be twisted and dislocated, and the here finally seized such a good opportunity and was unwilling to give up, when the two were deadlocked, Wang Shi hurriedly rushed over, he knew that if he missed this opportunity, once the-stirring stick got out, must be with yourself to settle the ledger.

Wang Shifei ran over and raised his right palm, exerted all his strength, and with a muffled sound, the right palm of the Heavenly King covered the top and hit the-stirring stick Tianling cover, and then only heard the sound of the-stirring stick, and the right hand of the-stirring stick had been twisted and dislocated by the. The-stirring stick received a heavy slap from Wang Shi on the head, the heavenly spirit cover was shattered, and his eyes were dead when he opened his eyes, and the was holding the hand of the-stirring stick, still using his strength, and as soon as he died, the force on his hand was loosened. The here twisted and dislocated his body hard, and the arm of the-stirring stick, his eyes were fixed on Wang Shi, and he was about to speak, when suddenly a sharp knife stabbed in from the back, and the tip of the knife pierced through the front chest. Blood flowed from the nigga's mouth, and he only said one word: "Ah!" and he rolled over and fell to the ground. I saw that the dog baby was still behind the, looking at Wang Shi.

Just as Wang Shi was rushing over, the dog baby also saw that the and the-stirring stick were in a stalemate, so he secretly ran behind the with a sharp knife, and almost stabbed the in the chest at the same time that Wang Shi slapped the-stirring stick to death with his hand.

Wu Ren, the monkey, and all the minions were stunned for a moment, and the-stirring stick and the died almost at the same time. I don't know what to do, most of these people are outlaws, and since the-stirring stick is dead, there is no need to work for him. They all stood and stared, Wang Shi looked at the dog baby and asked, "Why did you kill the?"

"Because he's the enemy of the-stirring stick, I'm going to kill him. ”

"The-stirring stick often beats you, don't you hate him? Wang Shi looked at the dog baby and was also wary of him suddenly attacking him.

"When I was desperate and was about to starve to death, it was the-stirring stick who took me in, and for so many years, no one dared to bully me. ”

"Do you want to kill me? I'll kill the-stirring stick. ”

"Yes, it's a pity I can't kill you. Forget it!"

Wang Shi looked around and saw that everyone's eyes were looking at him, so he said in a loud voice: "The-stirring stick and the are dead, let's divide the things in the warehouse, you take the silver, go find a place where no one knows to live a good life, don't be a bandit." Being a bandit will never end well. After speaking, he turned his head and said to the dog: "You go and open the door of the warehouse, take out all the gold and silver jewelry, and see how much there is left, according to the people in the cottage, divide it into equal parts, one for each person." He called Zhang Chengfu again, and called the people from the troupe over: "The-stirring stick and the are dead, you should hurry up and go." ”

Zhou Dahai knelt down on his knees and saluted: "Thank you benefactor for saving our lives." ”

Wang Shi hurriedly helped him up with both hands: "Old man, what you said is too serious, how can you worry about some trivial things." ”

Zhou Dahai beckoned Lin Cuilian over and ordered, "Quickly knock on Gong En!"

Lin Cuilian was about to kneel, but Wang Shi hurriedly held on, no need to do this. personally sent a group of people from the troupe out of the village.

"I still have to arrange these things here, and when I meet again in the future, I will talk and drink well. ”

The dog baby went to take out all the gold and silver in the warehouse and piled it on the table in the playground, according to the head, each person divided one share, and Wang Shi also got one, which was enough for twenty taels of gold. The-stirring stick has been looting in Lion Rock for many years, and that's it. After the gold and silver were divided, everyone folded their burdens and prepared to leave, Wang Shi said: "Everyone, everyone is also fateful, and they can gather here for this one, and now, they have to go their separate ways." I don't know if there will be a goodbye in the future, it's already afternoon. It's better not to leave for the time being, have dinner, get drunk, and everyone will go their separate ways tomorrow morning. ”

Everyone said: "Since Brother Zhang said so, it's not too late to eat and leave." ”

Wang Shi instructed the kitchen to pull out the sheep in the sheepfold and slaughter three of them, make a large pot at night, and arrange for two people to go to the sentry. Returning to continue eating, Zhang Chengfu asked, "Can you tell me who you are now?" ”

Only then did Wang Shi tell the reason for how his parents died, "Where are you going to go?"

Zhang Chengfu said: "I can't stay here now, and I don't know where to go, where to go in the future, if there is fate, maybe I can see you again." The two couldn't tell their sorrows and hatred, Wu Ren came over to persuade a bowl of wine, and the monkey also came to persuade a bowl of wine, and the monkey put the wine bowl on the table and said: "Now that the-stirring stick is dead, Brother Zhang, you will take the brothers to do it, why don't we push you to sit in the first place as in the past." ”

Wang Shi got up and said: "I came up the mountain to find a-stirring stick for revenge, and now I have revenge, how can I become a bandit instead." This is also mentioned in Hugh. In the future, all of you will go back, make a living hard, take this money, and live honestly. ”

Everyone drank to the deeper and rested, got up in the morning and had breakfast, the gate of the village was wide open, everyone went to the west and the east and dispersed, only Zhang Chengfu finally walked out of the gate, he wore a white fan yang felt hat, wearing a collar of white satin gown, and black leather boots. Holding a spear in his hand, he walked out of the gate and turned around to hug his fist at Wang Shiyi, the two looked at each other and smiled, Zhang Chengfu said: "From now on, the green mountains will not change, the green water will last forever, and there will be goodbye." ”

Wang Shi hugged his fists and returned the salute: "Take care, brother, I'll take care of this place and go down the mountain." You go one step ahead. ”

Zhang Chengfu said goodbye to Wang Shi and strode towards the Beishan path, Wang Shi watched Zhang Chengfu's back disappear into the woods, and couldn't help but burst into tears. Back to the cottage, cut off the head of the-stirring stick with a big knife, wrapped it in a green cloth, carried it down the mountain from the south path, walked ten miles of mountain road, walked to the entrance of Lutangba Village, watched the tower Zhou Xiaomao, saw a person coming down the mountain from a distance, and recognized Wang Shi when he got closer, and wondered how he came down from the Lion Rock. He came down from the watchtower and greeted him at the entrance of the village, and saw that Wang Shi was still carrying a green cloth bag in his hand, and stepped forward to ask: "Wang Shi, where have you been for most of the past six months, and how did you come down from the Lion Rock." What is in the hand. ”

"Ah, it's Uncle Zhou, I've been up the mountain for the past six months, take me to the village chief's house. I'll give you more details in a moment. ”

When Zhou Xiaomao saw Wang Shi say this, he turned around and instructed the villagers in the watchtower: "You watch carefully, Wang Shi and I will go to the village chief's house and come back in a while." ”

Wang Shi laughed and said, "You can all go back, the-stirring stick won't come to the village again." Zhou Xiaomao and the villagers on duty in the tower thought that Wang Shi was talking crazy.

Zhou Xiaomao and Wang Shi walked all the way to the village chief Shi Qing's house, and at this time the village chief was sitting in the hall with an account book checking. looked up and saw Shi Qing and Zhou Xiaomao walking in.

As soon as Shi Qing entered the door, he put the green cloth burden on the ground, hugged his fists and saluted, and sat down between the guests and the host, Shi Qing said: "Thanks to you to deliver the letter the day before yesterday, the bandits were ambushed. I don't know how the nephew learned that the bandits were coming to attack. ”

Wang Shi said: "In order to take revenge, I went up the mountain and mixed into the bandits' den. The bandits came to attack the village and my mother to death, which was the strategy of the military division of the doghead, and then the doghead was about to plan to attack the village, he was accidentally killed by Zheng Tianfu, and the day before yesterday the stirring stick wanted to forcibly occupy the drama girl Lin Cuilian, I took the opportunity to provoke the to fight with him, and took the opportunity to kill the stirring stick, and the was also killed by the stirring stick's henchmen. Then I dismissed the rest of the minions, and today I brought the heads of the-stirring sticks to pay tribute to my parents' spirits in the sky. The bandits on the Lion Rock still left a lot of houses and food, and they didn't know what to do with it, so they came to tell the village chief. ”

After Wang Shi finished speaking, seeing that Shi Qing seemed to be a little suspicious, he lifted the green cloth baggage, put it on the coffee table, untied the burden, and suddenly had a human head, which scared Shi Qing a lot, and carefully identified it as the head of the-stirring stick, and summoned Mr. Zhao and all the merchants to come and see. The gossip of the people is the head of the-stirring stick. and kept praising Wang Shi for eliminating harm for the people.

After lunch, Mr. Shi Qing and Mr. Wang Shizhao, more than a dozen merchants and a few villagers, a group of people from the south of the Lion Rock road, up, walked to Dazhai, looked around, sure enough, there are many houses, Juyi Hall, tall and majestic, the martial arts arena is wide and bright, and the restaurant can accommodate 100 people to have dinner. There is a clear spring rushing out in the middle, which is really a good place. Shi Qing asked, "What do you all think of what to do with these houses and the rest of the grain, cattle and sheep?"

Some said that a fire was burned, and some said that the cattle and sheep grain were brought back and everyone was divided, and everyone had their own opinions, at this time Mr. Zhao said: "Everyone be quiet and listen to me." When everyone heard that Mr. Zhao was about to speak, they quieted down and looked at him.

Mr. Zhao stroked his beard with his right hand: "These things are all the results of the-stirring stick over the years of looting people's property, the surrounding villages have been harassed by him for so many years, and they are unbearable, and now Wang Shi has done this harm for everyone, leaving these houses If they are burned, they are also the property of the burned people." In my opinion, wouldn't it be better if it was changed to a temple? After saying that, he stroked his beard again. The people listened to it and said it best.

Shi Qing took a few people to renovate the walled gate, and invited carving craftsmen to take a lot of bluestone nearby and carve Buddha statues. Villages near and far heard that the-stirring stick had been killed by Wang Shi, and the Lion Rock Dazhai was building a temple. For a while, he became a celebrity in the mouth of the people of Zhangzhou City.

Wang Shi took the head of the-stirring stick to the grave of his parents, burned incense to pay tribute, and the village chief instructed a few villagers to carry the head of the-stirring stick with a pole, and went to Zhangzhou City to ask for a reward from the government. Self-sustaining brute force, burning, killing and looting, entangled many outlaws, gathering in the mountains and forests, disobeying the king, repeated conquests to no avail, now out of a reward, if someone dismisses his body, or raises his head to offer, the government will give a reward of five hundred taels of silver.

Liu Gaoyuan sent people to post it everywhere, and the village chief Shi Qing had already known about it, so he called two villagers to raise the head of the-stirring stick to the county yamen. Liu Gaoyuan ascended to the hall, and the third-class officials stood on both sides, patted the shocked wood and asked loudly: "You say this is the head of a-stirring stick?"

The villager knelt down at the foot of the hall and replied, "It is indeed the head of a-stirring stick." ”

Liu Gaoyuan asked Lei Wan to come forward to identify, and after Lei Wan looked at it carefully: "Master Yu is indeed the head of a-stirring stick." I've fought him a few times and you can't be wrong. ”

Liu Gaoyuan turned around and asked Master Zhao in a low voice: "How to send it, do you really want Master Ben to give them five hundred pieces of silver!"

Master Zhao whispered: "Let's just say that we must verify the identity first, and let them go back and wait for the news first." ”

Liu Gaoyuan did the same and sent the two villagers away. Exit the hall and return to the study.

The two villagers did not receive the reward and returned to the village in despair.

In the past few days, Wang Shi has to run to the Lion Rock every day, supervising and supervising, and in the process of building the temple, there are forty or fifty craftsmen chiseling stones, carrying stones, carving Buddha statues, and busy in groups, and at night these craftsmen are sleeping in the original bandits' dormitories. Wang Shi helped cook, and gradually more than a month passed, and the Juyi Hall was changed to, the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and in the middle was a statue of the Buddha. Eighteen Arhats are lined up on both sides, and there are two big bluestone carved King Kong at the door, which is very powerful and majestic.

Wang Shi also arranged for migrant workers to reclaim fertile land on both sides of the stream at the foot of the mountain, and build ditches for irrigation, which would later serve as a source of food and clothing for the monks in the temple. It has been busy for more than three months, the temple began to take shape, Shi Qing came to see, then discussed going to the Big Buddha Temple in Zhangzhou City, invited a few monks to preside, had breakfast the next day, got on the boat at the wharf, and at noon, the boat stopped at the south wharf of Zhangzhou City, Shi Qing took a person from the people, and went straight to the Big Buddha Temple. I saw the Big Buddha Temple, the temple is majestic, surrounded by a white wall and pink wall, and there are more than a dozen steps at the door. Shi Qing took the servant and walked up the stairs to the gate, when the monk stepped forward to ask, "Donor, please come inside." ”

Shi Qing Dao made it clear that he wanted to see the abbot Elder Yuanzhen, and the guest went in to report, and came out and said, "Elder, please wait for tea in the back room." ”

The monk leads forward, passes through several halls, and goes to a courtyard at the back, where the middle is planted with orchid grass and green bamboo. There are several meditation rooms side by side on both sides, and the monk introduces Shi Qing into the second meditation room, only to see Elder Yuanzhen sitting cross-legged on the meditation bed, Shi Qing comes in, the elder gets up to greet him, and the two guests sit down. A small novice came to offer tea and stepped aside. Shi Qing took a sip of tea and said: "Lion Rock was originally a bandit village, but now the bandits have been exterminated, and our village has built a temple, which has now been completed, but there are no monks." I think that this Zhangzhou city is hundreds of miles away, counting this big Buddha temple, there are many monks, the abbot is Elder Yuanzhen, and the Buddhism is profound. I had to come and plead with the elders and send some monks to the abbot of Lion Rock. ”

After hearing this, Elder Yuanzhen smiled slightly: "I heard from the pilgrims a few days ago that the bandit-stirring stick of Lion Rock was killed, and I don't know that it has been changed to a temple now, which is really good, good." My junior brother, Zen Master Yuanhui, was in the temple, and I told him that he would like to go to the abbot of Lion Rock. ”

Shi Qing said: "In this case, you can send someone to ask immediately, and I am still waiting for the letter." Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to go back empty-handed and give an account to the villagers. ”

"In that case, I will ask someone. Elder Yuanzhen summoned the little novice and instructed, "You go to the back hall and call Zen Master Yuanhui over, and say that I am waiting for him here, and we have something to discuss." ”

The little novice, having received the order, went out and turned around the corridor. After a while, Zen Master Yuanhui came in from outside the door to see how this Zen Master Yuanhui looked, but when he met into a heavy jujube, his eyes were like stars, his eyebrows hung down like a beard, the bridge of his nose was high, his lips were wide and his mouth was square, his ears were like wheels, his height was healthy, although he was over half a hundred years old, he was not old. As soon as I entered the door, I saw the one-palm stele twice, and made an inquiry: "Amitabha!"

"I wonder what happened to Senior Brother looking for me?"

Elder Yuanzhen said: "Recently, because the head of the Lion Rock thieves has died, and the bandits in the cottage have been scattered, the villagers under the mountain, turn the cottage into a temple, come to me to send someone to the abbot, I want you to take a few apprentices to the abbot's temple to promote Buddhism." I don't know what the junior brother thinks. ”

Zen Master Yuan Hui was silent for a while before saying: "The terrain of Lion Rock is dangerous, and although it has been converted into a temple now, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no bandits in the future." To build a temple here, if I want to preside over it, I must bring more monks. ”

Elder Yuanzhen said, "As long as you are willing to go, it is up to you." I don't know when to get up. ”

Shi Qing said: "You can go with me right away." It's just that this temple has just been built, and it hasn't been named yet, so please take a name for Yuanzhen for a long time. ”

Elder Yuanzhen closed his eyes and sat down, and for an hour, Shi Qing was impatient to wait, and he couldn't talk and disturb, so he had to be patient. After another half an hour, Elder Yuanzhen said, "Let's call it Guandi Temple." ”

Since then, the Lion Rock Guandi Temple, the big plaque has stood at the door of the Daxiong Treasure Palace. Zen Master Yuanhui became the abbot. He also brought more than 20 monks from the Big Buddha Temple. This Yuanhui Zen Master, strong in martial arts, every day in the playground to practice martial arts, in the morning to teach monks to practice sticks, in the afternoon to practice fists and feet, leisure time to cultivate the fields, around the reclamation of a lot of fertile fields, monks self-sufficient, but also more than mistakes. Sometimes he helps the poor people around him. Wang Shi had breakfast this day, and walked up the mountain, and when he came to the gate of the mountain, he saw that the monks were practicing sticks, dancing and whirring, and Elder Yuanzhen practiced on the high platform, and the monks below followed suit.

Wang Shi was at the door, and a monk who came over asked, "Do you want to burn incense?" ”

Wang Shi said: "I just take a casual look, your great monk's martial arts are good." ”

When the monk saw that Wang Shi said that he was not burning incense, he sat aside. Wang Shi stepped in, and when the monk saw him come in, he led him to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and Wang Shi came out after worshipping the Bodhisattva in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and said, "When is your abbot free, I want to pay a visit." ”

The monk said: "After a while, after teaching the monks to practice sticks, there will be time." ”

"Then there is Lao to help me get through, and I will say that Wang Shi wants to see him. ”

Wang Shi sat beside him, watching them practice sticks, and after an hour, he saw Zen Master Yuanhui coming down from the high platform and going to the back. The monk stepped forward to pass the ceremony, Yuan Hui called Wang Shi to the back meditation room, a little monk came to pour tea, Yuan Hui took a sip of tea: "The donor sees what is wrong with me." ”

"I just saw where the master practiced sticks, dancing in the wind, smoke and dust, really majestic. I want to learn from the master. I don't know if I'm willing to accept it. ”

Yuan Hui listened and smiled slightly: "You are the Wang Shi who killed the iron foot plate and killed the-stirring stick." ”

"It's down there. Wang Shi showed a smug look on his face when he answered, and he had already been seen by Zen Master Yuanhui.

Zen Master Yuanhui put down the tea bowl in his hand: "The prestige of the donor, Lao Na has already heard of it, and Lao Na really has nothing to teach you." I can't be your master. ”

After Zen Master Yuanhui finished speaking, he crossed his knees and closed his eyes to meditate, and Wang Shi had to resign. After walking around the temple, he walked down the mountain to his home, and as soon as he walked to the door of his house, he saw one hundred or eight people who looked like they were standing at the door of his house. Wang Shi was very puzzled, and just walked to the door, he saw a person who looked like a head catcher and said, "You are Wang Shi?"

Wang Shi looked at it in surprise: "I am Wang Shi, what are you looking for me!"

The head catcher for the head is Song Qian, this morning Liu Gaoyuan, Gao sat in the hall and issued an order, sending Song Qian to bring a few catchers to capture Lion Rock, the third master Zhang Yingge, Zhang Yingge is Wang Shi. Song Qian took the token and took the boat all the way, and arrived at Lutangba, where he had been waiting for a long time at the door of Wang Shi's house.
