The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 33 Liquan sharp gun ([-])

After Yue Fei found out the way, he went to Liquan with Zhao Gou, Wang Gui and others.Liquan was just behind the mountain, and the five of them left the nunnery and followed the road guided by the little monk. The winding mountain road made the five of them a little surprised.After a while, they came to the middle of the mountain, and they saw a clear spring not far in front of them, flowing down slowly.

"Brother, do we really listen to what the little monk said, we just stop and watch and do nothing?" Tang Huai couldn't help asking.

Yue Fei smiled slightly, and said: "That's a word used to fool the little novice. We came here to get spring water. The old monk was stingy and didn't want to take spring water and master. As disciples, we should come here on our own. Be filial to his old man. As for the old monk's words, there is nothing to worry about."

Zhao Gou looked at Yue Fei, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and thought to himself: "Marshal Yue, who is so famous in history, actually has such a side. It's not that Elder Zhiming is stingy, it's because of this that there is a god waiting for the master to come. That person is you, it should be about the same Then you can see the rumored sharpshooter."

"Wang Gui, I ordered you to get the bowl, did you bring it?" Yue Fei turned his head and looked at Wang Gui intently.

Wang Gui hurriedly took out two big bowls from his arms, said: "How can you be careless about what the elder brother ordered, I have already quietly fetched two big bowls, it should be enough."

Yue Fei took the ceramic bowl that Wang Gui handed over. The mouth of the bowl was wide. Yes. Just take some spring water, let the old monk see it, and see how good I am."

Zhao Gou saw Yue Fei walking forward enthusiastically, his face tightened, and he said: "Brother, be careful in everything. I think there is something wrong with this place, but I can't tell what it is. In a word, you have to be careful."

"Fifth Brother, don't worry, just get some spring water, don't worry, just come for my brother!" Yue Fei smiled confidently.

Wang Gui also answered in surprise: "Fifth brother, elder brother just fetched some spring water, so don't worry. With elder brother's skills, there is nothing wrong with it. Getting some spring water is not easy, it is easy."

Zhao Gou smiled awkwardly, thinking: "You will know the reason later!"

The words were divided into two parts, after the little novice told Yu Yuefei and others where Li Quan was, he was still a little cautious, thinking that it would be dangerous for them to go there.After thinking twice, he decided to tell his master about it.When he walked into the living room, Elder Zhiming happened to ask: "Junior brother, why don't you see Pengju and the others?"

Seeing Elder Zhiming's inquiry, Zhou Tong turned around and found that Yue Fei and the others had disappeared long ago. He was a little surprised and said, "Perhaps they went to the mountains to enjoy the scenery. Brother, don't worry. They should be here soon." , we must be leaving today, and we don’t know when we will come out to play again in the future, if they want to go around, let them go!”

Elder Zhiming asked in puzzlement, "What do you mean by that?"

Zhou Tong said with a smile: "They have been following me to learn martial arts and literature. They practice hard every day. How can they have too much time to go out for a tour. Just this time when the senior brother came, I allowed them to rest and have a rest with me. Come to pay a visit to senior brother together. After all, the two of us have not seen each other for more than 40 years since we left Shaolin Temple, knowing that senior brother is coming, how can we not come to visit."

Elder Zhiming suddenly realized and nodded, and said with a smile: "It's still the younger brother who is even better, who is dedicated to pursuing martial arts, and has accepted several disciples, and even accepted a son of a mothfly. It is really gratifying."

"Senior brother, you're absurdly praised!" Hearing Elder Zhiming's approval, Zhou Tong showed a bit of complacency on his face, but he said modestly, "Senior brother has been pursuing the promotion of Buddhism all his life. Knowing that the senior brother came here to practice, should he decide to stay and stop spreading the Buddhadharma?"

Elder Zhiming smiled and said: "Since I met you, it proves that I am staying here and I am no longer wandering around. If I were 20 years younger, I might still be pouring around and continue to promote Buddhism. Nowadays, the matter of traveling long distances is also There is nothing I can do. I can only stay in one place and stop running around.”

Zhou Tong sighed: "Yeah, time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, both of us are over seventy years old, as if everything happened yesterday. We are all old, and the era will be dominated by young people." We don't know what will happen to the Great Song Dynasty in the future, we can only pray in our hearts for long-term peace and stability, and restore the prosperity of the past."

Seeing Elder Zhiming and Zhou Tong talking about the past, the little novice did not want to disturb him, sometimes frowning, sometimes sad, sometimes sighing, his expression was noticed by Elder Zhiming and Zhou Tong, and they looked at each other in amazement.Elder Zhiming said in a low voice: "Daoyue, what are you worrying about?"

Dao Yue respectfully said: "Reporting to Master, just now the five disciples of Mr. Zhou asked about the Liquan in the back mountain, and the disciple told them that the five of them must be by the Liquan water."

"What? You told Yu Pengju and them the location of Liquan?" Elder Zhiming stood up abruptly, terrified and trembling.

"Reporting to Master, the five of them said that they were going to the back mountain to see the scenery in the mountain, and that they were going to leave today. They were a little bit reluctant and left after seeing the scenery. Disciple Nian thought that what they said was reasonable, so he told Yu Liquan Where is it?" Daoyue nodded yes, and he told Elder Yu Zhiming everything that happened.

Seeing Elder Zhiming's surprised appearance, Zhou Tong couldn't help being a little puzzled, thinking: "Senior brother, what's the matter? Usually, the weather is calm and calm, and nothing affects my mood; today, how could I be so panic-stricken? Is there something hidden about Liquan, or is the spring water not as he said?"

Elder Zhiming was very nervous, frowned, secretly worried, and seeing Zhou Tong's puzzled expression, he knew that Zhou Tong had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained: "You don't need to make random guesses, brother, there are some things that I haven't explained clearly to you. Actually In fact, the Liquan is still there. I don’t know when a thick snake appeared beside the Liquan. The snake was extremely fierce. If he had no fear when he was young, he could only let it stay in the Liquan now. .”

"If Pengju and the others don't follow the advice and fetch water without permission, they will definitely disturb the big snake in the spring water. If they are bitten, it must be extremely dangerous. Your adoptive son and the other disciples have strange expressions, they must be thinking I want to offer you some spring water, so that you can taste the sweet taste of the drained spring water, I never thought that those boys would have the courage to go ahead privately, if they encounter a big snake, what should they do!"

Zhou Tong was taken aback, frowned, and asked in surprise, "Senior brother, is there really a big snake in that spring?"

"You and I have been brothers and sisters for several years, how can you not know my character!" Elder Zhiming said angrily, "If it weren't for the big snake hidden in the spring water, and you came to visit your old friend in the nunnery, how could I be stingy and not let you taste the spring water? However, that big snake has been entrenched in the spring water. If someone steps within three steps, it will reveal its big snake head. It makes people shudder, but it never hurts anyone. Raised the head of the snake, stared at the person who came, and took the initiative to attack."

Zhou Tong thought about it, and felt that Elder Zhiming would not scare him with this matter, so he asked anxiously, "Then what should we do?"

"Wait and see!" Elder Zhiming sighed helplessly, and said: "According to the footsteps of the few of them, I am afraid that they have already reached the vicinity of Liquan. Unlike people who died young, there should be no danger, and everything can only be said when they come back."

Zhou Tong smiled bitterly: "That's the only way!"

Elder Zhiming's words came true, and Yue Fei strode forward in high spirits alone. Even the stones washed by the spring water all year round were covered with moss, and he would slip if he was not careful.In his eyes, it was not a matter at all, and he walked to the spring like walking on flat ground.

Yue Fei was closer to the spring, and when he saw a large stone next to the spring, engraved with the four characters "Liquan Qipin", he exclaimed, "It's Su Dongpo's handwriting? Could it be that Mr. Dongpo also visited here?"

Seeing the handwriting inscribed by Su Dongpo himself, Yue Fei believed in the extraordinaryness of Liquan water, fascinated him, and moved on again.When his footsteps were only three steps away from the spring, a big snake head protruded from the crevice of the stone, its eyes were shining everywhere, and it spit out snake letters, and its mouth flowed out, dripping into the water.

When he looked at the big snake's head and saw the thick snake's torso, he couldn't help but sweat, and stared at the snake with wide eyes.When Zhao Gou and others saw the snake showing its big head, they couldn't help shivering, watching nervously, not daring to make the slightest sound.

Zhao Gou thought: "This snake is thicker than the biggest snake in the world, like a stone pillar, it is really shocking."

Although he knew the existence of this snake, Zhao Gou couldn't help but shuddered the moment he saw it appear, not to mention the other people, all of whom had goosebumps all over their bodies, and all of them stared wide-eyed, and there was a gleam in their eyes. Surprised and flustered, even Yue Fei was taken aback.

However, the snake met Yue Fei's eyes and remained motionless.Yue Fei looked at the snake carefully, saw its saliva dripping in the spring water, and thought: "This evil animal has never made the slightest movement, it must be a warning, and it has never taken the initiative to hurt people. But it lives in the spring water. , and snake saliva dripped into the water, how can it continue to be used?"

"No wonder the old monk said that there is danger in Liquan. It must be this snake. I don't know when this big snake lived here. Since Mr. Dongpo came here and left a note, there should be nothing. I don't know why. , will it appear? Since this big snake is unwilling to take the initiative to attack, it is just a reminder, so it is also spiritual, but unfortunately, if it is in the spring, it will be difficult to get water, and it must be expelled."

"If it's just expulsion, it may come back again after a while. This way won't work; if you want to prevent future troubles, you can only kill it. If not, it's not good if you hurt other people's lives. Even if you Some spirituality will die in the hands of the young master today, if you want to complain, blame you for not staying here and obstructing the young master's water, just admit it!"
