Chapter 10 Carrying Water
Fang Zhongjin came to the Introspection Hall, but first received an empty bamboo blue.
And Hong Du, who has always been cold and sharp, snorted lightly when he heard that Fang Zhongjin was going to fill five hundred buckets of water in one day.
Fang Zhongjin looked at the big bamboo basket in his hand playfully, obviously the disciple on duty in the Zi Introspection Hall had found such a house for him out of good intentions.
Otherwise, I don't know where to put 500 bamboo sticks.
Fang Zhongjin glanced back at Hong Du and saw that he closed his sharp eyelids again, covering the schadenfreude in his eyes.
On the other end, Hongji frowned and said, "Brother Fang, this self-reflection hall was originally intended to let the monks in the temple repent of their sins.
You were ...... Although it doesn't really hurt people, there are indeed not.
It's a pity that you have to pick out these 500 buckets of water yourself, and if I come to help you, I will double the punishment for you.
I can't help you this way, if you can't pick it up, just sit down and rest. ”
Fang Zhongjin said lightly: "It's okay, where is the bucket?
Hong Ji said: "The buckets and flat poles are all placed behind the self-examination hall.
The water tank for the water is also placed there. As for the place where the water is fetched...... Small mirror lake at the foot of the mountain......"
Hong Ji said this with a sad face, which made the corners of Hong Du's mouth hook up a smile.
Xiaojing Lake is at the foot of Shaolin Mountain, although the two places are not too far, but the Shaolin Temple is built high on the mountainside.
Do the math, there is always a meal to return to the two places.
Ordinary monks made a mistake and went to the introspection hall to carry water, but they only picked a dozen or twenty loads a day. Forty or fifty buckets of water were selected.
After a month, you can return to the monastery to continue your practice.
And Fang Zhongjin's number of five hundred barrels, I don't know who came up with it.
But his intention is nothing more than to make Fang Zhongjin deeply tribulated.
You must know that no matter how high Fang Zhongjin's kung fu is, no matter how strong his light skills are, he can't make two hundred and fifty round-trips in one day.
Thinking that he picked half of it, he would either use too much force, damage his internal force, or even leave a dark wound. From now on, it can no longer become a harm in the martial arts.
Either they are annoyed and angry, and they hurt people, then no matter how Shaolin Temple wants to deal with Fang Zhongjin, outsiders will not be able to put more beaks.
All in all, the master arranged for him to come to see Fang Zhongjin today. It is expected that although Hong Ji's martial arts are strong, his temperament is extremely straightforward, and he is most easily manipulated by others.
And Hong Wen, if a person chooses a name, is also a gentle and water-swallowing character, and it is not a big deal.
Only oneself can make a decision on the spot.
Countless thoughts turned in Hong Du's heart, and the people also followed Fang Zhongjin to the back of the introspection hall.
Sure enough, there are more than a dozen large vats that are taller than people, and there are wooden ladders on the side of the tanks, so that people can take water and pour it into the tank.
A row of bamboo poles is neatly placed against the wall, and there are buckets stacked on the side.
I saw Fang Zhongjin walk over, put the six buckets in front of the three and three in the back, and passed a bamboo pole over the three buckets.
This time, Hong Ji and Hong Du both understood what he meant.
Obviously, Fang Zhongjin is conceited and good at martial arts, and if he wants to go back and forth, he will pick up six buckets of water.
Two hundred and fifty round trips in one day, only immortals in the world can do it.
But if you pick six buckets of water at one time, then it will be reduced to eighty-four times.
Hong Du snorted coldly in his nose, and said in his heart that this kid really doesn't know the height of the sky.
He thought he was clever enough to think that he would be able to pick a few fewer times. Doesn't he know that it is easy to go down the mountain and difficult to go up?
Now, even if Fang Zhongjin is carrying six empty buckets down the mountain, but carrying six heavy buckets all the way up the mountain, should it be so easy for you?
It's just that Fang Zhongjin's movements still haven't stopped. He actually arranged six buckets neatly and put them on a bamboo pole.
Then he was short, with six buckets on his left shoulder and six buckets on his right.
He staggered the twelve-fingered bucket up.
As soon as Fang Zhongjin turned around, he took the lead in walking towards the downhill path.
This time, Hong Du was already angry.
Fang Zhongjin is either a madman or a fool.
There are 12 barrels in one round, and 500 barrels in 42 rounds.
Okay, I'd like to see how long you can do this wishful thinking?
One person picks twelve buckets of water up the mountain, what is the difference between this and suicide?
Don't climb halfway, the whole person will fall down the mountain, and finally there will be no bones left.
Hong Du simply resumed his demeanor of looking at his nose and nose and his heart, and waited for the show to be staged.
Hong Ji was in a hurry and sweated profusely.
He hurried two steps to catch up, and asked Fang Zhongjin anxiously: "Brother Fang, you are too joking."
It is indeed not difficult to pick twelve empty barrels to go down the mountain, but it is not so easy to pick twelve buckets full of water to go up the mountain.
Besides, the mountain road is rugged and upward, and you can easily accidentally get carried down by a bucket, and rolling down the mountain is no joke!
Hurry up and put down a few buckets, if you can't finish it today, I'll go with you to the master to plead!"
Fang Zhongjin saw the concerned look on his face from the bottom of his heart, so he only smiled and said, "You can rest assured." ”
With that, he continued down the mountain. Don't look at his body and don't make a running posture, but he is extremely fast down the mountain.
There are also two bamboo flat shoulders that were picked by him. The twelve bamboo barrels swayed slightly with Fang Zhongjin's body, and no matter how bumpy the mountain road was, they were always glued to the flat shoulder.
When they went all the way down to Xiaojing Lake, they saw an old monk sitting there resting by the lake.
He was called an old monk because his thin body was rickety, and his clothes were more tattered than those of other monks in the temple.
But if you look closely at the old monk's face, you will find that he must have looked good when he was young.
A pair of deep eyes with a straight nose. If it weren't for the dark yellow skin on his face and the thin inhuman shape on his body, he would still be considered a treasure and solemn.
The old monk was really taken aback when he saw Fang Zhongjin and the three of them rushing towards Xiaojing Lake in a hurry.
After seeing that it was Hong Ji and Hong Du who were following behind Fang Zhongjin, he hurriedly lowered his head.
He was originally sitting by the lake to rest, but now he quickly picked up the bucket beside him and struggled past Fang Zhongjin.
Looking at his body and steps, it is obvious that martial arts are just a beginner.
The two loads of water were carried and swayed by him, and a lot of them were spilled along the way.
And the old monk's figure was already rickety, but now he was pressed by two loads of water and his body was bent even more, as if he was about to be brought down by a heavy bucket.
When Hong Ji and Hong Du saw the old monk, they both stood together, bowed silently to his departing back.
The old monk didn't realize it, and just slowly climbed up the mountain, not paying any attention to the meaning of Hong Ji and Hong Du.
That's a bit strange. Judging from the actions of Hong Ji and Hong Du, this old monk is probably not low.
However, Fang Zhongjin keenly felt that the old monk seemed to be deliberately trying to avoid Hong Ji and Hong Du.
