"Sanjia, Sangu, Sanzang, should be the same disciple." The old man muttered in a low voice. Although the voice was very small, Qian Chuanzi and I could hear it very clearly because of the close distance, and my heart trembled in turmoil. "Sanzang! Tang Sanzang! Did Tang Seng really come here when he was seeking the scriptures?"

"Uncle, what does the Sanzang master look like?" Qian Chuanzi asked hurriedly, and in a hurry, even forgot to shout "Donor" and directly called "Uncle". However, the old man did not find this flaw and said in a deep thought, "Well, it doesn't look like it-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This sentence means nothing. Qian Chuanzi had no choice but to continue asking, "Master, did that Sanzang come on horseback? Do you have any disciples around you?" "Mage Sanzang comes every time he comes here, without riding a horse, and without disciples," the old man replied simply.

This made us even more confused. It sounded like Master Sanzang had come here more than once, so Qian Chuanzi quickly asked, "Master, where did Master Sanzang come from? When did he come here? How many times did he come here in total?"

The old man raised his head and thought for a moment, then said, "It was about seven or eight years ago. I can't remember the specific time. Alas! I'm old and have a poor memory." The old man sighed heavily before continuing, "Master Sanzang is superb in medical skills and kind-hearted. He is really a living Bodhisattva! But no one knows where he came from, because he never said that he traveled here seven or eight years ago and cured many people's illnesses for free. In order to thank him, everyone donated money together and rebuilt Yunqing Temple, which had been abandoned for many years, and he changed his name to "Sanzang Temple". He begged Master Sanzang not to leave. Under everyone's plea, Master Sanzang finally agreed to stay and stayed in Yunqing Temple for several years. During this period, I don't know how many people's illnesses were cured. My leg pain was also cured, and he never charged a penny for treatment."

The old man told the whole story in one breath. Qian Chuanzi and I realized that Sanzang was not Tang Monk, but just a duplicate name.

After returning to calm, Qian Chuanzi became calm and solemn, "Where is this Sanzang Master now?" "I don't know." The old man shook his head sadly. "The last time Master Sanzang came to the town was half a year ago, and then he disappeared. When the people in the town went to the temple to find him, they found that everything he had kept his original appearance, and even the clothes he usually wore were neatly spread on the bed, but the people disappeared. After that, we searched all the mountains around the temple, but we still didn't find him again. Maybe he was going out for a trip again, and maybe he would come back in a few years." Speaking of this, the old man's voice became smaller and smaller.

Obviously, he also understood that his speculation was impossible, because no matter what, this Sanzang master could not leave his clothes in the temple. He was rushing around. The biggest possibility was that Sanzang master encountered an accident and could never come back. However, the old man was unwilling to accept such a reality, so he found himself an illusory hope.

Of course I wouldn't expose the old man's last hope. After knowing that Sanzang was not Tang Monk, I also lost my curiosity, so I went straight to the point and asked, "Donor, do you know that there is a restaurant in this town called Jixiangju?"

"Jixiangju! What do you want to know about it?" The old man looked at me in confusion, "That's right, someone asked me to bring a message to a Jixiangju, a pavilion named Feng San." I immediately gave me a reason I had thought of a long time ago.

"But Jixiangju has disappeared long ago." The old man still looked at me in confusion, "It's gone?! How could it be gone?!" Qian Chuanzi and I shouted almost in unison, "There was indeed a restaurant called Jixiangju here before, but it was burned out later." "Did Feng San survive the fire?" I asked quickly.

The old man looked up slightly and thought for a moment, then shook his head gently, "I had been to Jixiangju several times when I was young, but I really don't have any impression of Feng San you mentioned. Oh! I'm old and my brain is not good enough, and I can't remember many things." The old man sighed heavily and then continued, "But he should have survived. I remember that he heard that only one elementary apprentice was burned to death in Jixiangju, which seemed to be called-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Primary apprentice Luo Erdan!" I repeated in surprise. Without asking, I knew that Luo Erdan should be Luo Tieshan. After he caused trouble, he ran away secretly. If others couldn't find it, they thought they were burned to death.

"Donor, do you know where the people in Jixiang Curriculum went later?" I asked unwillingly, "I don't know." The old man shook his head very simply. "The fire back then was really big. It burned for a whole day and burned the entire main street. Later, many people who lived or did business on the main street left here one after another and went outside to find a way out, which seemed to include the people in Jixiang Curriculum. As for where these people went, no one knew."

Qian Chuanzi and I were so angry that I was so proud that I couldn't find the shops that Luo Tieshan said. It turned out that he had burned them away. Since that was the case, there was no need for us to stay here. So after thanking the old man, we left the town and headed towards the village where Luo Tieshan was born.

After crossing several mountains in the direction mentioned by Luo Tieshan, we saw a temple standing on the top of a mountain in front. From a distance, the temple was not very big, just a small courtyard, but it was very delicate, surrounded by white walls and black tiles and green trees, which had a paradise of peace and tranquility. The most rare thing is that there was a curved bluestone staircase leading from the bottom of the mountain to the entrance of the temple.

Although the mountain where the temple is located is not high, it is only two or three hundred meters at most, it is a big project to build such a bluestone staircase running through the mountain.

"Boss, it should be Sanzang Temple there." Qian Chuanzi pointed to the temple on the top of the mountain and said, "Well! It should be." I nodded slightly.

We stopped and looked at Sanzang Temple for a while. Qian Chuanzi suddenly said, "This place looks really comfortable. If you can stay here for a few days, you will definitely be able to cultivate your body and cultivate your nature. If you don't do it well, you can still understand the heaven and earth and ascend to the Tao." "Forget it, you are just a fake monk who does everything to eat, drink, who is a gambler. You still want to realize the Tao and ascend to the sky, save money. Be careful to defile the pure land of Buddhism. You will be struck by lightning, and it will be the kind of thunder that is thicker than your waist. You will hit you for two hours in a row." "Boss, you are too vicious, don't forget that you are not much better than me. If I am struck by lightning, you will not be able to escape." "Amitabha, I have become a monk since I was a child and have been kind to the donor. Please respect yourself." I clasped my hands together and became a monk.

"Go to yours." Qian Chuanzi flew up while talking, but I easily avoided it. Then he kicked several times, but he didn't even touch the corner of my clothes. Seeing that he wanted to raise his foot, I hurriedly stopped him and said, "Forget it, forget it, we are not struck by lightning." "Think you can talk." Qian Chuanzi put half of his feet back, and we continued to walk towards the village of Luotieshan.

After walking a dozen steps, I turned around and looked at Sanzang Temple again, and then said to Qian Chuanzi, "We have been on the road these days and are a little tired. It seems that we should really find a place to live quietly for a few days." "Boss, aren't you afraid of being tainted by lightning and being struck by lightning?" "You can't say that, we just need to have Buddha in our hearts, don't be too confined to the minor details." "Boss, are you sure you have Buddha in your heart?" "Hurry up, is there any way?" I pretended to be angry.

"It's too easy to live in Sanzang Temple. Have you forgotten? I am Sanpeng Master, you are Sansu Master, our senior brother is Sanzang Master, and we two come here to find him this time." Qian Chuanzi said casually.

"Good idea, it seems that your ability to cheat has increased again." I patted Qian Chuanzi's shoulder and praised, "Go to yours." Qian Chuanzi raised his arm to block my hand, and then I said with a little hesitation, "But, what else is there?" Qian Chuanzi turned around and asked, "Is the magic number of our two a little too ugly? Can we change it?" "No, our magic number has been said, it's too late to change now. If you have to change it, you can only silence the old man." "Forget it, I killed people in order to change my name. I am not that ruthless. I'd better be my three-person master honestly." I said depressedly.

"Let's go, boss, let's go and see our temporary new home first." Qian Chuanzi said as she was about to walk towards Sanzang Temple, but I stopped her. "Don't be anxious first, let's talk about it when I have been to Luotieshan's village." "Okay, Qian Chuanzi agreed.

After passing Sanzang Temple, we walked for about an hour and finally arrived at the village where Luo Tieshan was born. Although we had already learned some understanding of this village through Luo Tieshan's story and knew that it was a very poor mountain village, but after we actually saw it, we realized how poor it was.

The entire village is located on a gentle hillside, and all the houses are built along the hillside and are very scattered. Due to the terrain, the yard has become a luxury here. Except for the two families near the foot of the mountain, each with a small courtyard, the residents living on the hillside are only one or two lonely houses.
